Boris Palmer Gets Sweet Treatment in Tübingen

Tübingen - Bismarck herrings, Earl Grey tea, Fürst Pickler ice cream, Leibniz cookies, and Mozart balls. All delicious delights named after famous personalities.

Joining the lineup of VIP edibles is none other than Boris Palmer (51). He's now available in a scrumptious candy form.

Dubbed the "Boris Palmer praline," this delectable treat boasts a milk chocolate shell, filled with nutty nougat and crisp bits. Atop it all, a white chocolate lid adorned with a cocoa portrait of the politician takes center stage. Just like the man himself, the praline sports a short haircut and a well-groomed 7-day beard.

Short hair, well-groomed 7-day beard. That's how the citizens of Tübingen know their mayor.

To acquire these Palmer-inspired delights, head to the bustling specialty store "Silberburg am Markt," conveniently located opposite Tübingen town hall. Each praline goes for 1.60 euros. For those feeling extra indulgent, a box of ten Boris Palmer pralines is available at a discounted rate of 15 euros.

During a recent visit, Boris Palmer learned of this sweet creation from Hans-Peter Schwarz (59), the owner of "Silberburg am Markt." The town hall boss reportedly gave it a taste test, declaring it both sweet and crisp. But in true Boris Palmer fashion, he asserted, "I'm actually much more bitter and spicy."

The cocoa-made likeness of Boris Palmer resides atop a white chocolate praline lid.

Chocolate aficionado Hans-Peter Schwarz thought up the idea due to his involvement in organizing the tenth "ChocolART" international chocolate trade fair, scheduled for 5 to 10 December, alongside other industry professionals: "These days, Tübingen is the global chocolate capital, and Boris Palmer has earned the nickname 'chocolate OB.'"

Schwarz commissioned 2500 Boris Palmer pralines, having already sold hundreds in the store. By the following week, the chocolates made their way to the online shop and demand soared, requiring an increase in production.

Wonder why people are going wild for Boris Palmer pralines? It could be due to a mix of admiration and criticism. After all, some individuals really relish Boris Palmer, while others enjoy pointing out his flaws in the most literal sense.
