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.

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.

"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."

It's not just Latinos who reuse cookie tins.

Bongino Rule. Always wait before embracing a BREAKING NEWS!! story.

And I agree, Scottish shortbread is infinitely a better gastronomic experience.

“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?

Saw the story in passing.
Checked the can.
Decided BS. Easy enough.

At this point I would not be surprised if both Denmark and India had more cows than people (as used to be said of Vermont).

KnockOff brands may well be made in India, I know that fake looking tins of OG cookies that look like the Royal Dansk original ones are made in Malaysia. So having false ones made in india is quite possible.

Look at what you are buying.

And oh yes.

STFU!

I bought a tin of these cookies a few days ago, and I’m not understanding the big deal about them.

“Dubai” brand candies and sweets are made in Turkey.

Check the label.
