No no, not these kind of chocolate kisses!
In Finland, a long time ago, there weren't many people of African descent (from here on called "black") and the "N" word was loosely used.
How so?
"Brunberg" chocolate kisses used to be known as "N-Kisses".
Only in recent years was it changed to just chocolate kisses....or chocolate kisses filled with _____.
The same company (I believe) also sold licorice faces. Licorice is black and they were known as "Black faces" or something of the sort. Finally someone pointed out that it was too racist (understandably so) and now I think they're just licorice faces.
