Will it go down well?

“Mohrenkopf” posting by Felix Baumgartner

Things have gone quiet around Felix Baumgartner. Since he jumped to earth from a height of 40 kilometers in October 2012, the former extreme athlete has mainly attracted attention through questionable postings on social networks. And now he's at it again: living in Switzerland, he is delighted that "there are still Mohrenköpfe here" ...

The term "Mohrenkopf" is used there to refer to the sweet known here as "Schwedenbombe". However, the term "Mohrenkopf" is considered derogatory, racist and politically incorrect.

In Switzerland, there was even an - unsuccessful - petition in 2017 to stop the sweet from being sold under this name.

The fact that Mohrenköpfe still exist is obviously a stroke of luck for Baumgartner. Under a picture he posted on Facebook, in which he can be seen with a whole box of the sweet, the Salzburg native wrote on Saturday: "There are still Mohrenköpfe here in Switzerland, awesome!"

A phrase that will not go down well with everyone. Just like some other postings before it, which earned the Salzburg native reprimands and even legal repercussions, including a compensation payment.
