Extensive Definition
Manner is a line of confectionery from the
Austrian
conglomerate, Josef Manner & Comp AG. The corporation, founded
in 1890,
produces a wide assortment of confectionery products. These include
wafers, long-life confectionery, chocolate-based confectionery,
sweets, cocoa and a variety of seasonal products.
The company's best-known
product are the "Neapolitan wafers", introduced in 1898. They are
sold in blocks of ten 47 x 17 x 17 mm hazelnut-cream filled wafers.
The hazelnuts were originally imported from the Naples region in
Italy, hence the name. The basic recipe has remained unchanged to
this day.
The company logo is a picture
of St
Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. This dates
back to the 1890s, when Josef Manner opened his first shop right
next to the Cathedral. There is an agreement between the Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of
Vienna and the Manner Company whereby the latter is allowed the use
of the logo in return for paying the wages of one stone mason doing
repair work on the Cathedral.
Trivia
The Manner wafer products had a cameo appearance in the movie Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, when the Terminator, played by Austrian-born Arnold Schwarzenegger, grabs a bunch when shopping for food at the gas station in the desert. Since Manner wafers are one of Schwarzenegger's favorite snacks, he integrated them into the movie. Manner ran a series of television commercials in Austria in 2003, marketing their wafer with the release of the movie in theatres.Manner wafers could also be
seen on the glass counter in the Central Perk
café during season six of the TV sitcom Friends.
