Why are Germans so sweet?

We really do like germans - despite their bad reputations they really are lovely, sweet people. And, today we finally found out why...

...because they eat so many sweets

The average german per year eats

8kg chocolate
4.5kg ice cream
4 kg sweet buscuits
3.5 kg gummy bears/jelly babies

Now hanging around germans for a while we had noticed that they do eat this stuff fairly regualrly, but that is STACKS!!!!!
