    Werthers original are German candies, and I’ve definitely heard jokes about old people liking them (or campino Früchte, or something similar) in Germany. Root beer is a North American thing though

      You’re not really a proper old person unless you are offering Werthers Originals and blue ribbons at every opportunity.

      Oh. I now just learned that butterscotch has nothing to do with whisky, but seems to be just the english word for “caramel” or so…
      And I also know the old “Werther’s” commercials.
      So, they are apparently international.
      Interesting. I wonder what influenced what with regard to the butterscotch reputation stated in OP…

          Regardless how good it might be, it would quite certainly be a letdown for me now, as it apparently doesn’t contain scotch…
          And if you are talking about Werther’s: I am not particularly fond of that, there are superior types of caramel imho.

      Can confirm French of a certain age would’ve grown up seeing the commercials on TV and eating them occasionally.
