PFC Minyor Pernik (Bulgarian: ПФК Миньор Перник) is a Bulgarian football club from the town of Pernik, which currently competes in the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group, the top division of Bulgarian football. Their fans are known as the craziest and most loyal in Bulgaria because they always support the club. All the other fans are afraid of them because Minyor's fans beat them up all the time using set square (Bulgarian: винкел). Mr Vangelov decided to thank the fans and started producing delicious sweets, named after words or objects commonly used by the Pernik fans. The most successful one was the "Vinkel" waffle; it's currently on second place of the best selling waffles in Bulgaria and is probably the most delicious one.
