[–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The joke is that Germans love bureaucracy and design and don't do humor, as evidenced by some German chocolate my dad got at LAX that described itself as square and practical.

Ritter Sport? If so, don't forget the part where it described itself as good!

I had to look it up but that's totally it, lol

I also double checked by searching "schokolad quadratisch praktisch" and I can't believe it's a real tagline. Thank you so much Germany
