Werthers original are German candies, and I’ve definitely heard jokes about old people liking them (or campino Früchte, or something similar) in Germany. Root beer is a North American thing though

You're not really a proper old person unless you are offering Werthers Originals and blue ribbons at every opportunity.

Can confirm French of a certain age would've grown up seeing the commercials on TV and eating them occasionally.

Oh. I now just learned that butterscotch has nothing to do with whisky, but seems to be just the english word for "caramel" or so...
And I also know the old "Werther's" commercials.
So, they are apparently international.
Interesting. I wonder what influenced what with regard to the butterscotch reputation stated in OP...

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Butterscotch is far superior to ordinary caramel.

Regardless how good it might be, it would quite certainly be a letdown for me now, as it apparently doesn't contain scotch...
And if you are talking about Werther's: I am not particularly fond of that, there are superior types of caramel imho.

Fathers root beer barrels kick ass.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
