A fun read. It's interesting to think about the trade limitations imposed on East Germany and how those impacted daily things we take for granted.

Coffee with Chicory? Tres Frenchy. Coffee with Chicory, Oats, and christ knows what? Not chic.

The article never defines GDR, but I looked it up in case you were also unfamiliar:

The German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany, was a socialist state in Central Europe that existed from October 7, 1949, to October 3, 1990

The German acronym (DDR) is much better known among Eastern Europeans. My parents (Czech) would almost never call it East Germany.
