Hallo allerseits! vielen dank für eure hilfe! Es handelt sich bei der Schokolade um handgeschöpfte Schokoladen der Fa. Zotter. Die Sorte "doppelt gehoppelt" ist für Ostern bestimmt und mit dem Foto von einem Hasen versehen. "Doppelt" deswegen, weil diese Schokolade aus jeweils 2 Teilen à 35 besteht, die in einer Verpackung zusammengefügt werden.
Thomas Pfann Nov 25, 2008:
In anderen Worten, was soll ausgesagt werden? Nur, dass es zwei Schokoladen in einer sind? Oder sonst noch irgendwas?
Thomas Pfann Nov 25, 2008:
Es würde vielleicht helfen, etwas mehr über die Schokolade zu wissen: Woher kommt der Spruch "doppelt gehoppelt"? Hat die Schokolade/die Aktion/das Logo irgendwas mit Hasen/Hoppeln zu tun? (Oder ist es womöglich nur ein Tippfehler für "doppelt gemoppelt"?

double hippety/double dippety

Is this for a Labooko (Easter) Bunny? "Doppelt gehoppelt" would make sense in that context.

Or: hippety double dippety.
If the chocolate is dipped, this might do the trick...

twice as nice / twice is nice

Just playing with words...

I have to say, though, I find Nicole's suggestions very good.
