The traditional bunny!

People! The West is perishing! The Islamization panic is spreading. The Islamization bunny lurks in every nest.

In the last few days we have received requests for photos of a receipt traditional on it , a shelf with a laughing bunnies and the purple smiling bunny . Does all of this exist, is the question. Yes there is! Will the Easter bunnies be renamed out of consideration for the religious feelings of Muslims?

One is simply an internal business name in the merchandise management system for a rabbit in a traditional form , such as the gold rabbit from Lindt, which Penny calls the traditional rabbit. The other is names for chocolate Easter bunnies that are intended to stand out from the rest of the range.

  • Does this have anything to do with kowtowing to Islam? No.
  • Is this new? No.
  • Will there soon be no more Easter? No.

There is a traditional rabbit on the receipt:

The golden bunny from Lindt is sitting there (watch out: sitting bunny!) on the shelf. There's Milka's smiling purple bunny lurking in the corner.

Riegelein's laughing bunny giggles slightly crazy to himself!

And why?

Because some people who insist on Christian, German traditions cannot cope with the diversity of the German language.

Because, no matter whether it's a smiling bunny, a laughing bunny, a sitting bunny or a standing bunny, they're all chocolate Easter bunnies that have their place in the endless variety of the sweet Easter range, alongside lamb, rooster, chicken and chicks. Whether with colorful foil or without.

 

The word rabbit is combined with something other than Easter and the West is in danger? Really?

I see a much greater danger that some self-proclaimed Easter saviors are running around with blinders on. The Milka smiling bunny 1973 . The gold bunnies a tradition at Lindt since 1952 ! And for the chocolate manufacturers, these have always just been hollow figures .

Riegelein's range is likely to drive some people to collapse.

What's not there: From Sunny Bunny, hip-hop bunny, sitting bunny, gold cuddly bunny, Bunny Crisp, "color" bunny, the bunnies Tom & Fritz, Trixi & Felix, jelly bunnies, long-eared bunny Nicki, bunnies in the pit and one Laughing bunny couples have everything you can think of. Also Easter bunnies in endless variations, all summarized in the Easter .

I mean, if anyone has to worry about their Easter traditions, it's the Easter fox , or the Easter cuckoo, for example.

Easter cuckoo? Don't you know? Of course, they are also extinct, pushed out by the omnipresent Easter bunny!

As Andreas Roß , Protestant pastor, Hildrizhausen says so beautifully:

Easter cuckoo?

Have you ever heard of the Easter cuckoo? No? I am not surprised. This animal species has long since become extinct.

She was replaced by a far more successful animal: the Easter Bunny.

But the Easter cuckoo is not the only species that the Easter Bunny has on its conscience. A few centuries ago there was a much greater variety of legendary Easter animals: In Holstein and Saxony, children waited for the Easter rooster at Easter. In Hesse the parents talked about the Easter fox, in Alsace the Easter stork was popular, and in Switzerland the Easter cuckoo.

All of these animals no longer exist. Displaced by the Easter Bunny, who is now the sole Easter animal. And the egg-laying Easter bunny has only been around since the 17th century.

Update:

Let's get to the point here: While a statement from Karstadt that we requested is still pending, Rewe has spoken out on Facebook:

On Rewe's Facebook page, the social media team writes the following in response to this question:

“…. For a quarter of a century - since 1992 to be exact - REWE has been calling the well-known Lindt gold bunny on the shelf and on the receipt the “traditional bunny”. As far as we know, the Lindt Gold Bunny has been around in Germany since the early 1950s. In this respect, the conceptual reduction on the label on the shelf or the receipt to “traditional rabbit” is quite apt. Best regards, your REWE team"

The Gold Bunny has been around since 1952, and the name Traditional Bunny at Rewe (as well as Karstadt Groceries and Penny, which belong to the same group of companies) for the Gold Bunny in the merchandise management system has been around since 1992 , so it has been around for over 25 years. This is what a long-standing tradition in the Easter confectionery range looks like. (see also our article ( The “traditional rabbit” at the cash register )

Honestly! My advice:

Take off your blinders, enjoy the linguistic diversity in Germany with a piece of chocolate Easter bunny, don't look at everything so narrowly and practice an old Easter custom.
Easter laughter! More Easter laughter , less Islamization bunny panic, that's what I want for Easter 2018!

And finally!
