I thought the question would be who was it that started adding "Hmmmm :ponder: " to polls.

Powdered sugar itself is a bit of a puzzle.

Like someone in history looked at sugar and said:

i read though that traditional pfeffernüsse don't have the powdered sugar coating tho so I'm wondering if getting us americans to start making & eating them that way is some sort of long joke, like kaiser wilhelm trolling us from beyond the grave or sth
