Never heard of that in German. It's just marshmallows with a generic German accent instead. But it's cool to learn something new. Which region says that, OP?

All the regions, just lost in time. It was sold by Haribo under that name in the 80s, it's why you can still get "süße Mäuse" or "weiße Mäuse" from Haribo and why it's generally often presented in mouse-form.

Marshmallow only became more popular when younger generations spoke English more often.

Omg, really ? That makes sense ! I just accepted the mouse thing as a willy wonka side effect. Didn't realize this could be a part of the history
