"we paid the forced labourers exactly as much as German workers and we treated them well," https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/16/choco-leibniz-heiress-apologises-over-nazi-forced-labour-remarks

Also: "Choco Leibniz heiress."

Those who forget the past are doomed to sit on a yacht eating delicious chocolate biscuits.

Top non-apology action!

Quote"It was a mistake to amplify this debate with thoughtless responses," Bahlsen said in a statement on Wednesday. "I apologise for that. Nothing could be further from my mind than to downplay national socialism or its consequences."

Her apology really takes the prize and is hard to process.

Did the Nazis use slave labour to make Choco Leibniz? Is this why I feel so guilty when I eat some?

Icehaven

A moment on the lips, a lifetime in the forced labour camp.

A good biscuit. Hard to hold, mansard-like chocolate, not an entry-level biscuit, so you know if you eat it you're part of the elite. You have to rest it on your flattened palm or on your belly like an otter. A status symbol, I can hold multiple ones, a party trick, and it is whole minutes before I am smeared in chocolate.

Not for much longer, I'm hoping.  I'm hoping this little capitalist gets to find out what happens when the market doesn't love you any more.

Quotesome social media users called for a boycott of Bahlsen biscuits.

Bergen-Bahlsen?

What? Fuck you.

Boycotted them for years because, although I work several jobs, I don't have money for frivolities like biscuits. 

Not that I mind, mind.  The biscuit bit on them is horrible, the dullest biscuit anyone could make, even if they were a small child and only had flour, water and sugar at their disposal.  And the chocolate bit, the palatable bit, is chocolate.   Wow. 

That's it, a shitty half-arsed biscuit topped with a small slab of unmitigated chocolate, what's not to boycott?

had this biscuit for the first time exactly 10 days ago. miniature version. pointless little biscuit and i for one am glad it has turned out to be a nazi.

Which German companies operating today that were also operating during the war DON'T have links to the Nazis?

Dr Oetker has a bronze statue of a major Nazi in their headquarters. You think they'd have taken it down, but no.

If anything this just makes me want to eat Chocolate Leibniz biscuits even harder.

They were called Choco Lebensraum back them. The German workers had Hugo Boss uniforms but the forced labour had to wear Boss Orange.

I'm going to be more ambiguous in the way I eat it as I am on the fence about this whole issue.

Sorry Leibniz, we are only following Oreos.

I'm afraid Pig Newtons and all subsidiary brands were #Cancelled with the fall of known Mr. CK. Needless to say, his statue has been removed from the lobby.


chveik

the best biscuit of all possible worlds

bgmnts

Cunt.

Biscuit cunt.

Hope she jokes on a biccy, falls off the side of her boat and gets eaten by a fat shark.

Al Tha Funkee Homosapien

The true crime is that it's not even a fucking biscuit! It's a bit of chocolate wearing a biscuit merkin.

Shit Good Nose

I like them.  And she is just a stupid rich cunt child.

Shit Good Nose CANCELLED.

Flatulent Fox

Typical guardian dredging up the past to be outraged about.
I don't think this robust Verena Bahlsen really cares that much,she can buy and bribe her way out of trouble with those delicious biscuits.

Leibniz is an anagram of Nazi Bile, if you had an a.
