The town of Werdau (Zwickau district) has caused a nationwide smile with a sweet souvenir to snack on. The pink-colored foam sugar treat is supposed to depict the historic advertising clock, the town's landmark. However, the color and shape give viewers a completely different, more sexual idea. Because the sweet is reminiscent of a penis. This has already prompted the satirical magazine "Extra 3": "Real madness: city marketing goes down the drain", it says.
However, Mayor Sören Kristensen is in good spirits and is delighted with the great response. The whole thing was his idea and he paid for the first batch himself, he says. The advertising clock is the city's landmark and adorns illustrated books as well as key rings. "It's always been on everyone's lips here." That's where the idea of offering the landmark as a snack came from.
