A Swedish firm, GB Glace, has apparently released a new ice cream that pushes the bounds of good taste in the English language. (Personally, I wouldn’t go to Sweden to study the finer points of English.)*
There’s an attack and defense (defence?) going on, stating that these ice cream bars are or are not offensively named: Nogger and Nogger Black. Apparently Nogger means nougat in slang Swedish English and now the addition of a licorice coating makes the ice cream on a stick a Black Nogger. Sheesh.
The Center Against Racism in Sweden is protesting the product name.
*I really thought this was a British product as company making it is called “GB” as if it were the writer’s shorthand for Great Britain.
