Did you all know there is a chocolate brand called Filipinos, in Spain and Portugal Options

Look at the controversy section. Filipino people protested in 1999 because the Spaniards named it after them and the chocolate they produce is dark outside and white inside which was considered an insult

[LastLegend]

that's kind of funny

[dalawapo]

yes we heard of this already.

[ham_let]

OMG they're basically rosquillos covered in chocolate!? I WANT! I WANT!

btw i think protesting over something like that is kinda childish. ERAP...

[Barilin-Kita]

I suppose its a good way to promote Filipinos no? sweet and chewy. This could work to our favor. If shop vendors run out of them he/she could always get some filipino off the street as substitute. Just as long its given to a woman

i saw a filipino choco bar commercial on youtube once. it was the making of the music vid. some fine spanish chix doing aerobics on that clip.

I think there's nothing wrong with the Filipino Chocolate since most Filipinos are dark it is like promoting the Filipino heritage and ethnicity which the Filipino skin is basically dark. The Spaniards are not really white they are Iberians which they also have dark skin. The British and Dutch is white but not the Spanish.

Oh, the number of sexual jokes you can come up with.

"Women love chocolate, so of course, they love filipinos"
"Mmm, I'm in a mood for a filipino in my mouth right now"
"Oh my gosh, I put the filipino in my mouth and then the white splattered all over my mouth!"

See?

Three easy.

[dalawapo]

im going to invent a candy brand called arnes choco-sticks hard enough to shatter ur teeth and bring you back to the old days when your ancestors used to chew betel nut

[martin_nuke]

The reason why Spain also called the chocolate Filipinos because the Philippines had a reputation of having the best tasting Chocolate in the world made of Philippine Cocoa.

I think this is OK


I think this packaging of Filipinos Chocolate is very offensive or very sexy to some. This has a sexual subliminal message like the filipino male is sexy and yummy.

did philippines get its cocoa from the americas? isnt that where it originated in mexico?

[martin_nuke]

Cocoa originated from Mexico and cultivated in the Philippines but the Spaniards like Philippine Cocoa better than Mexico's.

I have an idea, what if Spain get Piolo Pascual as a model of Filipinos Chocolate it might boost their sale and Spanish women would go to the Philippines to look for a real Filipino.

yes mexicans invented chocolate


I think Filipinos were offended by the brand name and appearance because you know, some Filipinos are whitewashed and wish they were white. Brown outside and white inside

[dalawapo]

what makes the philippine grown cocoa better, the dirt is more flavorful?

better weather i guess. mexico tends to be dry at times than philippines. philippines is very humid, good moist soil.

did u ever notice how puertorican and many latin american countries, the male traditional dress is like a white shirt, pants and a red neckerchief? whats up with the neckerchief and what is it always red??

[martin_nuke]

Why is the uniform of the Katipunan like this?
The painting of Andres Bonifacio leader of the Katipunero with white shirt and red neckerchief.


Maybe the Katipunero had branches there because they also wear white shirts with red neckerchiefs or its the other way around.

someone should present these inquires about filipino candy bars and red neckerchiefs to the spanish themselves!

[FlipSides]

I have seen that one, I was searching for Filipino videos on youtube (7 months ago?) and I saw that Filipino chocolate video.
