Flipped a few Snickers, Tuc and Milka in the market today, then bought a Knoppers.

Knoppers are so good. The nut wapper wrap around is the best.

That was exactly my thought process recently when looking for a candy bar 😅

They are hands down the best candybar. Closely followed by pigall and kex

Thanks for posting this ad.
- The last couple of weeks have been advertising for European brands. It's been fine so far, organic content from actual people. But the corporations are catching on so I expect to see it ruined soon.
  
  It really doesn't matter if it's posted by a corporation or not. It's an ad either way.

Knoppers are European‽
- 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 müsli 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
- Howd you do the panicked question mark?
  
  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 “interrobang” 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 “ib” 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.
  
  It's an interrobang
- Yes Germany
  
  Yeah, I just looked them up!
  Wunderbar!

If someone is looking for an alternative that is...
really delicious
vegan
ecologic
made in Germany / Berlin
manufactured by a small company
...you can have a look at the products from Kojake.
https://www.kojake.info/c/vegane-schokoriegel-shop
EdKa = Snickers
KaRi = Mars
HaRi = Ferroro Rocher / Hanuta / Küsschen bar
- What does ecologic mean in this context?
  
  Meant to say organic. ;)
- Just at triple the price per Kilo...

I always get my mom to bring me knoppers when she comes to visit me in Canada from the UK.

Wait... Isn't Mars European?
Edit: Oh no. That's just the name for Milky Way in Europe.
- What? No, Milky Way is another one, we have Mars over here :)
  
  Milky way is different between the us and everywhere else. In the us it contains caramel. If you want the taste of our milky way in the us you need to buy 3 musketeers.
  What is die and milky way in the USA is sold as a Mars bar outside of the USA. The USA Mars bar has nuts which was sold as 'Nuts' over here in the Netherlands (though I think it's discontinued).
  
  Yeah, Netherlands has both!

Mogens halb 10 in Deutschland...
knoppers is just awesome
- Morgens halb 10 in Europa!
  
  Aye that's what I can get behind.

These things are so good it should be illegal. I wouldn't even compare them to Mars or Snickers, they are in a higher class.
- I'd go into diabetic shock for a box of knoppers

I have a snickers problem that needs to be a knoppers problem. Please send the goods to Canada.
- Website idea. Join together people who, for a small fee, are willing to ship parcels full of treats to the other side of the globe with people craving such treats. Example: I know guys in Japan who would kill for a box of Paluszki made by Lajkonik. Here we have Canadians craving Knoppers. Etc.
- We don't have much in the way of chocolate selection that isn't Mars or Kraft. It sucks. Butterfinger are Ferrero, i think? So Italian owned. Peanut, but not the peanut you're looking for. Who owns Wonderbar? That's closer to a Snickers, I guess.
  
  Ferrero (who own Nutella/Kinder/Tictac) isn't that amazing.
  Several health & safety issues in the past and afaik their stance on child slavery for chocolate isn't as different to Nestle.

Oh yeah, knoppers are fucking delicious.

Send to Sweden please
- You can buy them here!

Where's the replacement for
- Knoppers coconut of course
- Not a real replacement but Raffaello does the job.
- Doesn't Lidl or Aldi make copycats for most of these, including bounty? they usually come in multiples in a bag.
  
  I actually don't eat chocolates, so it's not something I look for 😅. But one of the few I actually liked and everyone else seems to hate is this one. I would need to check in one of those places, but considering that I'm not in a central european country and we only get a very small sample of products from those supermarkets I'm not so sure. At least considering that it's a fringe chocolate.
- How about Rapunzel Kokos Happen / Glücksstücke (same product, two names)? German / Ecological. The bittersweet version is vegan and tastes great, the milkchocolate version isn't.

  The bittersweet version is vegan and tastes great, the milkchocolate version isn’t.
  So does the milk chocolate version not taste great, or is it not vegan, or both?

Unfortunately it looks like they don't give a damn about their workers or the planet:

- Name a more iconic duo than snack manufacturers and ethical issues..
  
  Ethical issues and Banks Politicians Police Techbros Game indiestrie Hardware manufacturing Food production Fashion Cars ...
  The list is endless
- These are all shitty companies. But if I can decide, I choose the European shitheads.
  
  Tony Chocoloney seem to be decent people.
  
  You could decide not to consume or look for a company that at least tries not to be shite. And or buy small business / local.

Are they anything like Double Deckers?
Asking for a friend.
- More like a Time-out
  
  Love me some Cadbury. Shame they're not sold where I live (Poland)
  
  Thank-you.
  I clearly need to investigate (repeatedly).

Yes they are!
