Talk:Ritter Sport

Ritter Sport and the Jews and the factory during the second world war
Did the factory used labor prisoners during the Holocaust? Did the company supplied the Nazi Army? these two questions must be asked regarding every company, organization and persons that worked before and during the Holocaust. and I'm very surprised that there is no question or chapter about this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.73.72.142 (talk) 07:04, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

The dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts are the best. Always available at Trader Joes. --Mr. Vernon 05:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Can there be a discussion on why the hell is it called "sport"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.254.20.253 (talk • contribs) 13:53, 1 May 2006

I think the sport comes from the idea that the square form is particularly easy to carry around with you. Less expensive chocolate in Germany is often sold in giant blocks that will last you a week or two around the house, but aren't great to stick in your back back or gym bag. Also, the Ritter Sport television advertising in Germany usually suggests that it's the perfect after sport snack - e.g. some typical advertising scenarios; people out for a bike ride in the country stop and split a Ritter Sport; skier swooshes down slop, stops at the bottom and whips a Ritter Sport out of his little skier's back pack, pool full of serious swimmers - one gets out, dries off and pulls a Ritter Sport out of her gym bag. 71.221.245.236 22:52, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Twinter

I like the Corn Flakes, Butter Biscuit, and Dark Chocolate kinds. My family buys this chocolate in bulk, and I mean BULK! Benosaurus 17:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

the best sort is Alpenmilch. Sooo sweet. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

New type not mentioned: olympia - joghurt - honig - nuss - traubenzucker. Gold wrapper, and since my German isn't the best, I'll post this comment in talk until confirmed. Yoghurt, honey, nuts, grape-sugars(?! This is the one I can't translate !) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.126.16.107 (talk) 07:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Grape sugar = corn sugar = glucose = dextrose. 77.184.188.179 (talk) 16:14, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Price
The relevant section here says that RS costs about 0.65 euro for a 100g block in Germany. Considering that they cost around 80p in the UK, that German price is very cheap! 86.132.140.178 (talk) 04:36, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The standard price in Germany is now about 0.85 to 0.95 Euro. --91.15.92.16 (talk) 12:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

it's pretty much the same all over the EU-zone, UK doesn't have the euro and thus they are rounding it up Markthemac (talk) 16:02, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Butter Fat
About the replacing cocoa butter with butter fat. Their webpage quotes their strict policy to never do that explicitly: http://www.ritter-sport.us/#/en_US/quality/article/purity-law/ Towolf-en (talk) 01:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

This "purity law" is about not substituting cocoa butter with other vegetable fats such as hydrogenated palm oil or coconut oil. (However they may still use vegetable fats in their fillings). Butter fat is a different story and I believe it has been traditionally used in chocolate by many brands. 77.184.188.179 (talk) 16:10, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Chocolates for diabetics
My son lives in Munich, Germany & when we visited him we discovered sugar free Ritter Sport Chocolates which we brought home to South Africa for a diabetic friend. Ritter Sport chocolates were & are available here in Cape Town, South Africa, but not the sugar free type. We always bought these sugar free chocolates whenever we visited Munich or whenever my son visited us he brought some. We visited in February this year and were very disappointed that we could not find Ritter sport sugar free chocolates anywhere in Munich & my son still cannot find them. Why are they not making them anymore? Please advise. Valerie. My email is, epstein.valerie@gmail.com 197.242.200.2 (talk) 10:46, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

The reason is a change in the German laws regarding labeling of foods. From the year 2013 onward, selling of foods labeled "For diabetics" is forbidden in Germany. It's not forbidden to produce sugar free (or sugar reduced) foods, but many companies (like Ritter) stopped producing products that were labeled "For diabetics". 87.245.8.196 (talk) 11:17, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
