Plopp is a chocolate bar manufactured by the Swedish company Cloetta (formerly part of Cloetta Fazer). Like Center, another Cloetta chocolate bar, it consists of milk chocolate with a soft caramel center, [1] but the formula, texture and aroma are not the same. [2] Over 95 percent of Plopp bars are sold in Sweden. [3]
Some English-speaking sources have criticized the name "Plopp" as being unappealing due to its use as a euphemism for human feces. [4] [5]
Plopp was created in 1949 as a small bar. A larger version was introduced in 1974, a stick version in 1992, and a roll version with individual pieces in 1995. Plopp Lakrits ( liquorice) was released in the early 1980s to Sweden only, but in 1999 in celebration of the candy's 50th anniversary it became available worldwide. [3]
More recently several new flavors have been released: Plopp Currant in 2004, Plopp Caffe Latte in 2006, Plopp Tutti Frutti in 2008, and Plopp Saltlakrits ( salty liquorice) in 2009. The candy also received a redesign in 2009. [3]
