How it's used
This term is the standard household name for the popular Lotte brand biscuits in Hong Kong. It is so iconic that it is often used as a generic term for any small, animal shaped, filled biscuit, even if it is not the official brand. People rarely refer to them by their formal product name in casual conversation.
