I just noticed something interesting today. My little girl recently converted to muesli. I bought some fancy ones for kids at mymuesli (which I highly recommend), “Prinzessinnenmüsli” with strawberries and raspberries, and “Piratenmüsli” with tiny white and milk chocolate pieces. My little girl tried them both, and admired the beautifully decorated muesli tins they came in. Her choice was an obvious one – the one with the “Schokola-DE”.

But even though only I have been talking muesli with her (and thus in German), she will systematically refer to it as “muesli pirate”.
