If you grew up in a Latino household, you know the blue tin. You know the smell. You know the heartbreak of opening it and finding sewing needles instead of cookies. Royal Dansk is basically a cultural artifact at this point. So when TikTok videos started going viral claiming our favorite Danish butter cookies are “actually made in India,” the internet spiraled.

the heartbreak of opening it and finding sewing needles instead of cookies

False marketing. Should have labeled the package as a sewing needle holder, containing “free cookies.”
The blue tins made for great storage...such as sewing notions.
I think I have several from years past.
As for the cookies, the best butter cookies are Scottish Shortbread - my local Ralphs sells them.
I saw the video of them being made, just look at where it’s made. The ones in India are not the same company, the tin looks like it though.
Unfortunately, the distrust born from most companies’ enshitification of their products make the lie more believable than the truth.
Those are knockoffs. The tin from Royal Dansk says on it Product of Denmark.
This is what comes from low IQ people living on their lives through their digital devices and use a social media app for a news source and believe everything on it is true and accurate instesd of getting out and interacting with people.

I wonder how many have died as a result of these moronic tiktok challenges......that would be some valuable data right there.
It's not just Latinos who reuse cookie tins.
Those blue tins were/are a very popular holiday gift in China, Taiwan, etc.. Of course, few are actually from the producer in Denmark. Most are knock-offs produced in those countries as well.
Yeah, like here on FR a few weeks ago which is why I posted this.

Bongino Rule. Always wait before embracing a BREAKING NEWS!! story.
And I agree, Scottish shortbread is infinitely a better gastronomic experience.
Fascinating...
I’ve used my empty Tins

When I was a little girl my mother made shortbread cookies. Her father, my grandfather, was from Scotland. The coookies were for me to take to school for my class for some class event that next day.
It happened I awoke sick that morning I was to take the cookies to school. I hadn’t eaten any of the cookies yet but my mother’s homemade shortbread cookies were delicious and my favorite. Mom told me I had to stay home from school, being that I was sick.
First thing I said was, ‘then I can eat all the cookies’!
Sick or not I was going to have those cookies all to myself :)
“If you grew up in a Latino household, you know the blue tin. You know the smell. You know the heartbreak of opening it and finding sewing needles instead of cookies.”
Why does a Middle-Eastern author writing about Danish cookies being falsely accused by a Chinese app of being made in India interject about Latino households when describing what as far as I know is a universally American experience?
...seems we got ourselves a convoy!
Saw the story in passing.
Checked the can.
Decided BS. Easy enough.
Walker’s.
But Royal Dansk is pretty good for a cheaper cookie. And I can’t recall ever finding many crumbled ones.
Those things are more dangerous than Oreos!
One can that has been used for 50+ years is Mom’s Nabisco saltine cracker can.
I has been used to hold/store…crackers. Even if is another brand.
Always look on the brite side.
