Here’s another oddly-named foreign candy. This one is from Storck, the makers of Riesen. I can’t make this stuff up:
Since 1985 Super Dickmann’s has been the biggest among the chocolate foam kisses.
Who doesn’t know the slogan “Man, they are Dickmann”? Under this motto Super Dickmann’s from Storck quickly became Germany’s most popular chocolate foam kiss.
Mini Dickmann’s was then introduced in 1990. These products are also enjoyed by people in some neighboring European countries.
I’m not sure what a chocolate foam kiss is, but does it matter? Check out that picture above. Funny stuff. Just looking at that picture makes me laugh out loud. You can fill in your own punchlines in the comments section. I can’t tell if they are trying for the innuendo or if it’s unintentional. I read online that Dickmann is a common surname, so it must be unintentional. Still funny though.
Here’s another picture:

I think that what disturbs me most about these (and that’s really saying something, as these are pretty disturbing all around), is the fact that these so-called “Dickmann’s” are filled with a white, creamy substance.
… Ew.
RESPONSE: Yep – I was not mentioning that so you readers would. Good job! :)

There is a similar product in Israel called creme-bo. (“krembo”)
It’s not unlike a very light and sweet tea-cake.
The base is a biscuit, a very thin layer of chocolate filled with foam creme.

August 10th, 2006 at 12:33 pmthe most whacky thing about these is the tv ad. check it out at http://www.dickmanns.de/flash/.
actually I love them, though it’s impossible to eat too many of them at the same time. it’s a complete joy to first carefully eat off the chocolate and then take a huge munch of the foam. “dick” means “plump/thick” in german btw, so we have no such associations as you guys! they are often smacked into friends’ faces among kids.
September 14th, 2006 at 6:19 amI had the pleasure of eating my first Super Dickmann’s earlier this month while on vacation in Germany. Not too bad… I also found out there is an alternate name for them among the Germans stemming from a derogatory term for a particular race (which is not appropriate to post).
October 30th, 2006 at 11:46 pmActually there is more than one no longer politically correct term for them (Mohrenkopf and Negerkuss respectively), although in the German language they are used only as a term for this type of candy and aren’t generally considered offensive.
July 15th, 2007 at 12:04 pmWhat this is, is actually a little house of very fluffy marshmallow, covered with a very thin layer of chcolate. The marshmallow is put on a very thin crisp wafer to hold everything together.
July 30th, 2007 at 11:01 amTo me, the combination is a bit too sweet, but I can imagine a lot of people loving it…
It’s also sold in The Netherlands, where I’m at…

August 7th, 2009 at 11:08 pmI was on a trip to Austria earlier this year with my university and I happened to see a package of Super Dickmann’s in a grocery store. It became necessary to purchase them. The cover of the box is now a poster on my wall. Not only are they a wonderful conversation piece, they’re delicious too! I’ve had them before, but as a Lebanese dessert, where they’re called “slaves’ heads.” Charming.
