In life and in the packaged beverage industry alike, when you get big, haters will pray on your downfall. Such is the case in the history of Spezi, the famous German soda comprised of “Coffeinhaltige Orangenlimonade mit Cola” (Caffeinated Orange Lemonade with Cola).

Knoppers were first produced in Germany in 1983 and advertised with the slogan "Das Frühstückchen" meaning “The little breakfast”. Created by Storck, the classic cookies are a sugary five-layer lasagne of wafer, hazelnut creme, another wafer, milk creme, and another chocolate-covered wafer. Yes, 3 wafers.

Based in the Cologne region of Germany, Choceur is the brand that produces the famous chocolates carried in ALDI grocery stores. These cookies and cream bars are a great intro to Choceur chocolates!
