  • Brandname "Biscoff" is a disgrace in its home country. The type of cookie is called speculoos, pairs well with coffee (and black tea!). Lotus, the manufacurer, decided to market the cookie outside of its home country by changing the name to Biscoff, a portmanteau of biscuit and coffee. Eventually they changed the name here too, which led to some backlash, but they stuck with the name.

    If you really like Biscoff, they also produce a paste similar to peanut butter, but speculoos taste.

    Now that you know the actual original name of the cookie, you can look for other brands, too.

    Also, check out speculaas, which was the inspiration for speculoos. Speculaas requires a specific blend of spices, which speculoos lacks. "Loos" in Dutch is a suffix meaning without, like "less" in English (e.g. penniless), so it was a clever way to differentiate between speculaas and speculoos.

  • Just like some colleges require you to boot into Windows to take tests? What's so hard to grasp? People like me who care about choice are not part of the general public who doesn't care. They just want to use service X. Anything that doesn't work with service X is "bad".

  • Doesn't matter what fork you use. Only the one by company Z is allowed.

    I don't understand why people can't see that. It's what we have now. They're are sites and services that won't work unless you use a specific OS already. You guys give corporations too much credit if you think it won't happen if only Linux is left, or at least the dominant OS.
