      Mehrzweckfett is multi-purpose grease. But if you say it, it sounds just like Merzwegfett, which would be Merz removal grease, an unfortunately fictional magical substance many people would like to have.

          Your question inspired me to a perhaps even more confusing meme, by the way:

          JETZT IM ANGEBOT! Drama Streichzart Merzweck-Fett

          Explanation:

          “Weck” is a regional German term for bread roll, and thanks to the power of German compound words, if you precede it with any other word, it will become the term for a bread roll with that other thing as topping. Like “Fischweck” being a bread roll with fish, “Käseweck” being one with cheese, so you could (provided you have a strong stomach) just as well make a Merzweck. Of course, this would taste even better with the appropriate kind of butter. But because Merz has ordered us all a healthy dose of austerity, it is just some generic kind of fat. A special kind for making Merz bread rolls, though, Merzweck-Fett.
