This is "Feuerzangebowle". A typical German
Christmas-time treat. It's a big sugar cone,
soaked in rum, suspended over a large bowl
of hot spiced wine, lit on fire. After the
the fire goes out, everyone gets a cup. Mmmm...
Thanks Susa, for making this for us!

In Germany, children can buy wine candy!
This package of gummy candies even has
a wine bottle right on the front. I
took a look at the list of ingredients,
and there is actually real wine in these
candies.
The motto of this company (Harbio) is,
"Wir Machen Kinder Froh" which means,
"We make children happy". I'll bet!

These are typical German beer steins.
But if you say "beer stein" in Germany,
no one will know what you are talking
about. In Germany, a beer stein is called
a bier humpel.

If you are a smoker in Northern Germany,
never light a cigarette from a
candle. Here, they believe that if you
do this, you are killing a sailor.
Since Northern Germany is by the sea, there
are plenty of sailors around, or brothers
of sailors, or mothers of sailors, or cousins
of sailors, or friends of sailors. So, if you
don't want to get into a fight, remember to
use your lighter.

Why is this light red and yellow at
the same time? In Germany, when you are
waiting for a red light, it doesn't just
turn green. First it goes red and yellow
for a few seconds, and then green.
Just like at the drag races!
I think this is a great idea. I must bring
this home to my people.
