'''Manner''' is a line of [[confectionery]] from the [[Austria]]n 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 [[Stephansdom|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 commercial]]s 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]].
