Can I have 14 of those 88's of mein friends and I?
Pick some swastikreams while you're at it.
A couple of Reichy Roads too!
It sounds like it's intentional at this point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gaytime
The company appears to embrace the camp name by retaining the tagline from the 1980s, "It's hard to have a Gaytime on your own". Footage from the 1980s commercials were reused in 2015 to celebrate the launch of the new flavours. The in-home boxes feature the words "4 delicious chances to have a gay time".[15] Ads featuring the slogan also occasionally featured men who would accidentally get into risqué positions whilst trying to get a Gaytime.

Heh, I had to look one of those up. Classic.
Fuck I love me a good sneaky golden gaytime at night.
Want a dickman?
“Hehe yeah sure… Germany this is a chocolate marshmallow thing on a waffle thing. I’m not mad.”
Dickmann‘s is a Brand. The general name is „Schaumkuss“ or „Schokoschaumkuss“. They had pretty racist names in the past and taste great
Never understood why people had to give names to food, just to show how racist they were.
Says someone from a country where the word for people from my home town is used to mean "penis".
That's the thing: if you don't consider racism to be a bad thing, using racist terms isn't done to show anything.
To get back to my original example: Using "wiener" to mean penis is deeply offensive to people from Vienna, because in German it just means "Person from Vienna". But people from Vienna aren't a group that's "protected" by anti-racism, and thus people commonly use it. They often don't even know that the city of Vienna exists, let alone that it's called Wien and that people from Wien are called Wiener, and that the sausage is named after that city.
So they happily use the word "wiener" to mean "penis" and sometimes they even use it as a generic derogatory term: "You are such a wiener".
In that context it's not surprising that before anti-racism became a thing people would just use racist terms for every-day items like food.
I have never heard any German speaking person use "wiener" to refer to penis ever. Maybe it's a thing among some people but it's certainly not common.
There's "weener", but that's an American term as far as I know.
Sorry, I figured from your post history that you are from an english-speaking country.
The term isn't "weener", it's "wiener": https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wiener
The point still stands: If you don't see discrimination against a certain group of people as something bad, using discriminatory terms isn't a statement but just a thing people do without thinking.
I think it can be spelled a few different ways, "weener" is the one I come across the most
That's because americans have difficulty spelling/pronouncing foreign words.
That's fair
I think the origin was 100% racist. But most people just used the words without thinking about the origin.
When I was s kid, they had racist names. It was just the name like a bicycle is called a bicycle. You just used the name. The realization came later when I was older and knew that the words can also be used as a slur.
To be fair though, Germany changed a lot since the 90s. Racism was way worse in the 90s/00s than now.
Well, good to know we weren't the only ones with the racist names (feels like ages ago, but it wasn't even that long ago). Schaumkuss makes sense though, they just changed them to the Dutch equivalent of "kuss" here.
In Australia, kids wear thongs to the beach.
In the US, kids root for sport.
Swap the country of either statement, and it gets super creepy.
root for sport
Root for "sports" in the US. We don't use it as a collective noun like in Australia
What does "root for sport" mean in Australia!
It means fuck. As a Canadian, I have no idea what it means in the USA.
Cheering basically. Unless cheering means something other than hoping your team wins.
Oh yes, that's not uncommon, brain fart
Yeah I was confused as well, mostly because it would be rooting for sports, we don't cheer as a sport. Well except for cheerleading and calling that a sport is contentious
Certainly arousing but not as much so as our childhood favourite Fags
You were smoking as a kid? Yikes!
We had a candy that was a fake cigarette called Fags!
Amazing! We had something like that but I think they were just called "candy cigarettes" or something. I think I generally was not allowed them, probably for obvious reasons...
Best ice cream name here imo. I love how they stick to it unashamedly. I'm a straight woman and I love a golden gaytime lol
Weren't they going to retire it, but everyone collectively lost their minds, so they kept it?
