Overreaction of the Week: Bahlsen Cookies.
Came across these German gourmet cookies while at the local grocery store. Notice all the versions appear to have descriptive names to enhance their tastiness. Except the chocolate versions are called Afrika. Shouldn’t the vanilla wafers be dubbed South Afrika? Or the butter cookies could be labeled Oriental. The Waffelettens appear to be biracial. Leave it to Germany to apply cultural insensitivity to snack items.
Or maybe the cookie company is just acknowledging that over 70% of the world's cocoa is produced in West Africa.
