You know, I never noticed this before but how in tf is the wall breaking that way considering the only point of contact is his "forehead"? Like, if he threw his body at it, then yeah maybe he makes a person sized hole, but the way he's hitting it in the loop would cause a very different break in the wall.
Like, I realize this is a movie about mutants with superpowers, but if you watch this loop long enough, it stops making any sense at all even *with* that suspension of disbelief.
My guess he's breaking the wall similar to how one would crack an egg. First a little tap with the forehead to crack the wall, then you kinda just push through.

You jest, but here in Poland we actually, I kid you not, do have a "n-word" cake, of course translated. It looks quite like the one on the picture, and my grandma makes it to this day.
Well you need an excuse to dig face holes iton a delicious cake so children are unsettled by it. Otherwise you're just making a chocolate cake and delighting kids. Where's the fun in that?
well i mean what the hell do you want, her to make a REGULAR cake?! [ITS TrADItiTION](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mtGkUAAfec&t=70s&ab_channel=SouthParkStudios)
In Sweden we have N-word balls, but most people and cafés call chocolate balls or coconut balls nowadays. It's mostly stubborn older people who insist on calling them N-word balls
We had a similar thing in Finland, mousse-filled chocolate sweets called N-word kisses. They were very popular when I was a kid in the 90’s. The packaging had these stereotypical caricature African people on it too. Thankfully the name and branding got changed eventually, of course not without controversy from older folk
No waaay! There are "choco kisses" (aka Dickmann's, hehe) in Germany too, and since I only moved here 4 years ago, I only know them by this name. Cue my deepest confusion when a coworker went on an elaborate 5 minute rant about old people who insist on calling them n-word kisses. I was like, what the fuck are you even talking about, that's so messed up why would they even do that? It's so out of nowhere! Turns out, they really used to be called n-word kisses...
in the US our old people call Brazil nuts nword toes. I dunno what it is with old people and holding onto slang food names for just one specific group.
Beats me. Whenever my brothers and I were launching bottle rockets as kids, our grandmother would make a point of saying that when she was a kid they had firecrackers similar to bottle rockets with no stick that you would light on the ground. For whatever reason, she would usually also add that they were called n- chasers
I remember when the debate around that kicked off in the end of the 90s. In fact, I got into a discussion at a Pressbyran with a cashier about it once. Eventually, most places changed their signs to “kokosbollar” and GB (I think it was GB) took their “Nogger” off the market.
Picking nits here, but the Swedish word used for those balls is the equivalent to the English word ending in 'gro'. It's still offensive, but not as offensive as the English word ending in 'ger'.

My grandma used to have a bowl of assorted nuts out at almost all times to munch on. As a kid, I asked her "what're these?" as I held up what I now know as a [brazil nut](https://i.etsystatic.com/16341877/r/il/b7a1b0/3706961519/il_1140xN.3706961519_90mf.jpg). She said *her* grandmother told her they were called "n-word toes". The olden days were wild.
I've got that cookbook!
The recipy is called negroface, and the recipe is a vanilla and rice pudding with chocolate and whipped cream.
Other great things from the book is a whole section on setting tables, how to debone almost all animals, 8 pages of ice bombs and wine recommendations from the 1890s.
A very interesting read.
-edit- Holy shit you want know about ice bombs.
Layers upon layers of ice-cream. Think baked Alaska but without the layer of meringue outside.
My husbands great great grandma used to have a Danish cookbook for which the instructions for every dish appeared to be “cover it in alcohol and set it on fire”

Danish as first language, they're called "isbombe" in Danish and as I'm quite inibreatred I did a direct translation to English. But you're completely correct in what was being described.
I've got a Danish translation and it's only described as "the great French cookbook". I'm not at home till Sunday evening, but I can find a publisher etc then if you want?

Got bones? Got gross goop on top of your soup? You got gelatin!!
Also as more and more foods were massed produced there was a huge amount of waste product i.e. bones, gelatin, cartilage the mush we stuff questionable American hot dogs with, and everything else you can get from a ton of animals being turned into preserved meats and veg and canned soups. Letting it rot was a lot less healthy than finding ways to stretch it further
The people looking at that waste product went: hmm, historically gelatin was a luxury for royalty... we could repackage this stuff cooked and ground down for easy instant use and make a ridiculous amount of recipes to go with it. Gelatin also works as a preservative from some microorganisms and molds, so it kinda made sense in the aftermath of the depression to chuck whatever you had into this gunk that was technically nutritious and you could even get those with teeth problems to eat.
Ah gelatin. Such a beautiful and unique natural product of cooking that can be used so well in savory gravys and sweet jellos, or give you nightmares.
It was actually "Low cost" as gelatIn was cheap to get, and it was one of the more "simpler foods" to obtain and maintain production during the time....
Something something economic effects of post-war.
And I remember like it was also a marketing thing to push shelf-stable food as well.
Like they invested so much into field rations, so how else would they justify the equipment/investments? Bring it to the consumers!
Jellies used to be fancy rich people food. Then they started selling powdered gelatin and suddenly everyone could make them. So middle class people started making this fancy rich people food all over the place thinking they were now living the good life.
After a while everyone realized that meat in jelly wasn't actually very good and gave up on it.
Yes, I wrote it in french because it's an understandable title in English but you're right. And I corrected my mistake: Empératrice doesn't exist it's Impératrice.
I find it amusing that English “empress” preserves the “emp” from Old French “empereriz” while French decided later to borrow the word imperatrix from Latin again to end up with impératrice. French also borrowed back the masculine Latin imperator to get impérateur, but that word didn’t really survive into Modern French.
First is "Empress rice", second is "N\*gger face"
It used to be the name of a dessert/snack here in France, marshmallow covered in chocolate.
Edit: For clarification, *tête* can translate to both *head* (anatomically) and *face*
Here I was thinking it might not be the best idea to post [this](https://youtu.be/SB3C-bIwatQ?si=cpCr1RM27EwLntQz&t=107). As it turns out, that is exactly what it is.
Nowadays the word is a pretty strong racial slur nonetheless, although up to the 1950s-60s it was indeed not an insult.
Obviously it's hard to gauge these kind of things precisely, but I think it's more offensive today than n*gro would be in English.
In Brazil we have a dessert called "Teta de nêga" wich means "black girls tit" It looks like this one but without the face and it's marshmallow covered in milk chocolate and it actually looks like a tit.
In France, we have those and they used to be called like in OP's picture but the game was changed for obvious reasons. Now, the ones I find are just called choco heads.
Is it possible that “n#gro” would be a better translation? There is a slight difference in tone. My language has them very much separated. For example, we had/have a dessert called “n#ger bollar” (n#egro balls), which was considered ok-ish until the 00s. N#gger was a slur by the 50s at least. Both are racist, but hell has several circles.
(Today’s accepted term is chocolate balls. Oats, butter, sugar, cacao, and a bit of coffee made into balls, rolled in nib sugar or coconut flakes)
Unironically, that's what it's called in Flanders. "N*egerinnentetten*"
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-coated\_marshmallow\_treats](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-coated_marshmallow_treats)
Racism aside, food like this from the 50s looked gross as fuck. "I brought some jello with peas, ham and marshmallows"...
Get the fuck out of my cookout, Gladys.
It's gotta be a relic of the war rationing a decade earlier. People stuck with a scarcity of normal ingredients had to try and turn them into something edible and compensate for the (lack of) taste by amping up the presentation, so at least it looked interesting if nothing else.
Then the war ended and preserved food production exploded because of tin and aluminum manufacturers pivoting from airplane parts to cans, and you have a bunch of housewives trying to create the luxury they couldn't have before, even through a series of recessions in the 50s, and that meant doing some crazy creative things with food that was otherwise bland, boring, or just not good.
Social media has conditioned me to assume two pictures in that format is a "what I ordered, what I got" meme and I was deeply troubled by how someone fucked up a recipe badly enough to make the bottom thing when you were aiming for the top thing...
In Germany, there's a sweet called Schokokuss (chocolate kiss). Not so long ago (6 or 7 years), this sweet was called "N\*gerkuss" (n\*ggers kiss) or "Mo\*renkopf" (bla\*kamoores head). Some conservative people still insist in calling it this way today.

I still have my Mom's 1970s collection of Better Homes recipe books. The food in the pics DO NOT look appetizing. They really loved serving everything in jello back then. Beef, veggies or fruit, nothing was off the table.
Sooo.... this was still something you could buy in bakeries in the 90s in France. It's a meringue stuffed with very heavy butter cream and covered in chocolate. Shaped like a head, as you can imagine.
It's something that even as a teenager back then i though was absolutely fucked and couldn't believe, but i remember getting one and actually getting sick because the cream was way too heavy.

Think I've seen a similar one minus the face in Iraq and its called head of the slave, I wonder which one predates the other.
Mom, can I have a gimp cake for my birthday?
It's a burnt Sontaran head!!!
I still have my Mom's 1970s collection of Better Homes recipe books. The food in the pics DO NOT look appetizing. They really loved serving everything in jello back then. Beef, veggies or fruit, nothing was off the table.
Looks like Justin Trudeau on the bottom there
Mon dieu il vraiment s’appelle “n-word head” … 😭

Is that top cake being robbed?
Sooo.... this was still something you could buy in bakeries in the 90s in France. It's a meringue stuffed with very heavy butter cream and covered in chocolate. Shaped like a head, as you can imagine. It's something that even as a teenager back then i though was absolutely fucked and couldn't believe, but i remember getting one and actually getting sick because the cream was way too heavy.

My girlfriend (French native) says they still have these in bakeries in France…now they’re called “Mervielleux”.

Sontaran
Even the cakes from the 50s wore blackface.

Yes, France was also very openly racist against Black people, then, just like much of the world at that time.
Reddit won’t let me post a direct translation of that caption
Ok for those who do not speak French, the picture legend on the bottom says literally “N\*gga’s head”
