Chewy Werther's Originals - C or D?

a) Werther's Originals have been on sale for five years, and yet Gramps suggests that he had them as a boy. He could have only been doing this if he was either rewriting history (common Nazi trait) or grew up in a different country. A seconds research shows that Werther's is a Germany company.

b) He loves his blonde haired, blue eyed gransdson just that little bit TOO much. The subtext is obviously that he his proud of him as being the progenitor of an Arayan master-race.

So I don't eat them, cos as the Dead Kennedy's said "Nazi Sweets, Fuck Off".

In the newer version, the boy has curly hair, the reminiscing line is changed to "I can still remember the first sweets given to me my grandfather; they were Werther's Original and I was JUST A BOY" and the old codger doesn't kiss the grandson on the top of the head. So why was the advert changed? Was a curly haired child considered more cherubic? Was the mention of the child's age considered unacceptable? Was the kiss on the top of the head considered unacceptable and if so, why wasn't the ad just re-shot without this offending part? And have I been paying this rather too much attention?
