Also from Germany and I concur, I drew the association the first time I saw Hitschler candies on a shelf as a kid. Ultimately I think it’s just a matter of, well, keeping it real. You notice the phonetic similarity, you’re either in shock or giggle to yourself, then you realize it’s just a name and the fact that it’s an officially sold product means there’s truly no connection, and then you’re over it.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that stumbling upon this hit me with nostalgia as I clearly remember having these years ago, but I haven’t seen them in ages and it seems they’re not sold anymore. I went through their catalog and there’s no mention of them. I’m sad now.

In reply to Niels. That's interesting, and comforting actually. Thanks for the info, we'll look for new products from them!

I am from Germany and i think you are wrong with the assumption that the name sounds normal to us, at least to the people i know in the age from 30-40 also had those associations. Since i can read, the phonetic of Hitschler was always weird close to Hitler for me. So much that i had to always ask myself how can a company exist with this name. Luckily they re-named the company to “Hitschies” in 2021 , which is also a name for one of their products for a long time…

See, you could have gone with a title of “Heil Hitschler!” but I guess that would have been wrong.

I love effervesence.
