Knoppers are Europeanโ€ฝ

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was happy to learn that the snacks I always liked the most - Knoppers, Ritter Sport, Corny bars, Milch-Schnitte (Ferrero owned) - were European (specifically German minus one), as are many mรผsli bars! Guess you can tell Germans like hiking, huh?

And for Sweden I also like me some Kex.

And as a north German I like to buy Turkish Pepper which is made in Denmark

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I love me some Turkish Peber too! Although it's owned by Fazer now, which is Finnish - but it was originally Danish. Whether they still have some production in Denmark though, I don't know

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Fazer blue is a good chocolate. Can't get it in Norway where it's mainly Freia (owned by Mondelez) or Nidar (Orkla, so actually Norwegian) I avoid Mondeleze crap, even if Freia is considered culturally as the flag carrier Norwegian brand

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Here in Germany we mostly get them by Trimex, it says it is produced in Denmark and since the company is in Germany I wouldn't be surprised if they are just rebranded Fazer.

Howd you do the panicked question mark?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

It's a specific unicode character, though most keyboards don't just type it for you.

  • On Linux I use the Cinnamon desktop with Cinnamenu, if I hit the super key and start typing โ€œinterrobangโ€ it selects the correct result for me quite quickly, I hit the enter key and it's copied to my clipboard.
  • On my smartphone I use SwiftKey which has a clipboard manager where you can pin copied text and ads a tag for it; I pinned it with the tag ib so when I type โ€œibโ€ it suggests that interrobang. This works both on Android and iOS.

Also, on macOS you could use the character picker (hit the fn key on an Apple keyboard) and search it in a similar way.
