I’m German and that is bullshit. Never heard of mäusespeck, everyone just calls them marshmallows and they are labeled as marshmallows in the store
EDIT: I was made aware that the Problem seems be that im not a boomer. 30 years ago, when i wasnt alive, they seemed to be called this. In my WG there are people over 30 though and they also never heard of this (hessen)
I’m German too and we totally used Mäusespeck in the 80s/90s. I guess you’re just younger, today people know what marshmallows are (and speak better English in general).

It was absolutely called Mäusespeck when I was a kid, but that’s 35+ years ago.
OK that’s the point maybe. I wasn’t alive back then.

Ghostbusters killed it with the Marshmallow Man.

Where do you live? Mäusespeck is even in the Wikipedia article:
I lived in BaWü and Hessen for over 30 years. Never heard of it.
Nett hier.
BaWü here, definitely a thing. Not too common though.
BaWü here, definitely not aware of it.
Sincerely, south of Stuttgart.
So you have never been grocery shopping 30 years ago? I’m sure in the 90s it was the common name on the Products. Now it’s gone.
Hessen, but people made me aware, that it was called this when I wasn’t born and people where bad at English.
