OK so Waldmeister is apparently an herb that is popular in German confectionery and beer and wine making. It’s called Sweet Woodrow in the US.
Waldmeister translates to “Master of the Forest.”
Most Waldmeister products are also a vibrant green which I suspect adds to the attraction, especially in kids. Bit of a letdown to realise, as you grow older, that the colour is from additives.
(FUCK i just realised i’m out of waldmeister bussy. coke bussy it is then)
Especially since there are a lot of products out now which only list the additives and no actual flavouring on their ingredients. I.e. all the green colour but no taste (since it would have been swamped by other things anyway and is probably sorta expensive?)
Interesting. TIL, because so far I thought that there was not even a name for this plant in English (except for the Latin scientific name).
So far, I’ve only seen this flavour to be used in German speaking countries.
Waldmeister is it’s own unique flavour, comparable to menthol (mint) but different, used mostly for sweets/drinks. Quick googling shows that it’s not known in US as a flavouring.
Sold Foodstuffs usually contain a artifical flavour from a cumarin derivative that is safer.Comparable to mint? Reboot your tongue, and try again, something didn’t process correctly.
Also leaves a cool sensation, the real one.
I don’t think using brand names to refer to popsicles is a real thing
Popsicle is a name brand. I rest my case.
wtf
So is Velcro. Albeit not a brand of cold fruity liquid
“Bussi” also means a kiss in (southern) German. You hear it a lot in Austria.
Interesting, because I think the etymology of “pussy” for a cat in English is from the pspsps sound which is a bit like a kissing sound
Any relation to beso?
Quite possibly. French also has a similar term, but it has evolved in meaning.
I mean, I imagine it wouldn’t sound all that different from the other kinda bussy, depends how sloppy you get with it
*bearpussy?
