If you're unfamiliar with Manner, it's an Austrian candy company most well known for a chocolate wafer bar. While you may have never tried a Manner wafer bar, the company has one very famous devoted fan, Arnold Schwarzenegger. He apparently loves these treats so much that he tries to include them in his movies, you can see this if you check out some of the candy shelves in the Terminator movies.
While not hugely popular all over the world, in Austria they're a really big deal. In fact Manner has stores all over the city of Vienna, and I imagine they have more throughout all of Austria. The stores are clad in pink, and sell all kinds of treats. The wafer bar is the main treat available, in about as many sizes and quantities as you could imagine, but they also have other sweet delicacies available. I'm not sure if all of the other treats are made by Manner, but all of them appear to be made in Austria.
They also have a whole bunch of merchandise for those of you who either love the bar, or fall in love with the bar. They had everything from pink jackets, nail clippers, pins, and my personal favorite these pink golf balls.
Best of all, if you go out to the main square (near the store I visited), one of the many horse drawn carts ready to tour tourists around the city is painted up with the Manner logo and Manner colours. Man these Austrians really like these pink clad wafer bars.
