Funny, it's called "Fürst-Pückler-Eis" in German, which sounds way fancier than it actually is.

I hate to break it to you, but sounding like "First Pucker Ice" does not sound fancy. I'm not sure it can get less fancy in fact.

Well "Fürst" means Prince, so it's actually named after THIS fancy lad!

Well he is pretty fancy. Born in a castle? And look at all those names!

My point exactly!

Nah; it can totally be würst.

Huh, it actually makes a lot more sense than the English name, since it's named after the guy who invented it. Americans named it after Naples, Italy because the colors originally resembled the Italian flag.
