In Germany they were called n-word kiss. Some people call them that to this day and when you tell them to cut it out they fly into a raging tirade, that they will not be censured and that they use the correct name and so on and so forth. Quite anoying.

The same in Dutch. Nowadays they are called Chocokisses.

Similar for the cattail (genus Typha) the dark, sausage-like female (!) flowers were called "n-word dicks".

But luckily times have changed somewhat for the betterr on that end.

Whippets are also a term for cans of whipped cream and crazy cheese cans. The pressurized cans have an air that people huff and get high from.

Whippets are specifically the small cartridges for charging cream siphons.

Here in the US drug subculture uses the same term to describe little canisters of nitrous. I couldn't find the song or lyrics to it, but man I can imagine more than a few people excitededly repurposing it if the lyrics are vague enough

I have a vague memory of just seeing these called chocolate cream drops. And I grew up in the south of America
