Eggs in the USA are washed in the factory with chlorine. This washes off the natural protecting part off the egg. So they need to be cooled. In europe this isn’t allowed and it is not needed. Eggs are a natural product that is fine without the chlorine.
We use debit cards or we have the debit card on our phone, people paying with their phone are not per se using Apple Pay, a lot of people have Android phones and they use the digital form of their bank card. A lot of people only have a credit card because if you go abroad you usually need one to rent a car or to make hotel reservations, we dont use a credit card in daily life.
Refrigerated/unrefrigerated eggs is a health issue thing. Salmonella in particular. In the EU chickens are vaccinated against salmonella by law and thus the egg are salmonella free. In for example the USA chickens aren’t vaccinated by default and the eggs and egg shells can potentially harbour salmonella. Washing the eggs gets rid of the salmonella on the shell, however the protective wax-like layer that eggs naturally have has been washed off. This layer prevents outside pathogens from entering the egg. With the layer still on, refrigeration is optional. With the layer off refrigeration is mandatory. If done correctly and kept refrigerated at the right temperature, there’s not much of a difference health-wise. Optically unwashed eggs sometimes look less appealing (chicken poo on them does occasionaly happen), environmentally washed eggs are more of a burden, since they have to be refrigerated continuously once they have been washed, including when on transport. This of course requires a lot more energy than not having to refrigerate them.
Way more simple, eggs don't need to be refrigerated. They aren't in nature ever. Once refrigerated you will have to keep them refrigerated because condensation. Moist will make them go bad. Just store eggs dry.
It depends on if the eggs are cleaned or not. If the eggs come from filthy barns (like the US) you will have to wash the eggs because they are filthy o the outside. When they are washed they lose there natural protection and you have to put them in your fridge. If your eggs come from clean and healthyer barns the eggs are not filthy on the outside. Therefore you don't wash them and the eggs keep their natural protection. No need for the fridge. So when you buy eggs that need to be in the fridge you know now that those chickens are kept under verry bad conditions.......
In the netherlands there can occasionally be a couple of feathers or a little bit of feces on the outside of an egg. Almost never, but it happens. But that does not justify washing the egg before selling. You can wash it right before cooking, so the protective layer is still intact in the fridge. (Also prevents the egg from absorbing aroma’s, you can have an onion right next to it) And yes, most people store them in the fridge when they get home, and that way the shelf life is wayyy longer than 2-3 weeks. A lot of people buy eggs, so they’re never in the store for long. Also a lot of (hobby) farmers sell their own, and those are often so fresh that they’re hard to peel.
Fanta is orange juice based and orange has natural sugar, if you take all the sugar out of orange it's kind of light poisen, [i work in an juice factory] orange without any sugar will burn your throat if you drink it regular, so the original sugar from the orange is still [minimum] in the juice so you must write it on the can.
They're talking about drinks that aren't labled as diet stil having artificial sweeteners in them, your comment makes me think you think they're talking about there being sugars (from the fruit orange itself) stil being in the drink while the drink is labeled sugarfree.
You have reguelar fanta en zero sugar fanta and by there video he turn the reguelar fanta around en yes there is suiker in it but the another one is without so is a small mistake to make....just look at the top of the can one have no silver line and the nother one have a silver line the silver is mean you have a can without sugar
@@patrickblanker866 Regular Fizzy Drinks in Europe contain much less added sugars than those in the USA. And some of the sugar in regular drinks is replaced with artificial sweeteners which makes fizzy drinks less unhealthy than those in the USA.
In NL the banks worked together in a joined venture to set up safe online payments. This applies to online wire transfer but mostly to online payments with iDeal. These payment methods gained dominant market share in the early stages of the internet. These payment systems are both much faster and safer but also cheaper for the merchant. Credit cards skim lot of money from the margin but also provide an insurance for an unsafe system (thats why cc's still dont require a pin in most cases). The reason is why many Dutch stores or even online shops don't accept cc is because of both the cost of payment and because of the security of banking payments. If a customer makes a European card payment the vendor will receive that money at midnight - no questions asked. If there is a matter of fraud, its a matter between the bank and the card holder and therefore most Dutch merchants do not require a fraud department whereas Anglosaxon companies need to charge 3-5% more because of their fraud processing. Edit: Please note that when people say that they use Apple Pay they're actually referring to using their local "card" with Apple Authentication and in NL that's almost in all cases using the local bank card.
The system is so good that the EU is looking at how to implement it EU wide. They want an easy to use, safe and quick system and Ideal is like a blueprint for that system.
I was so confused about the Apple Pay thing, that makes a lot more sense. They're just using their debit card basically, just like you can do with most Dutch banking apps.
ideal is the bomb for online payment you can just choose your bank, then you get a QR code to scan with your bank app and you pay from there on, it's dead easy and instant for payment with the bank card in stores , we have used maestro/cirrus for a long time, later down the road, rfid chips were added that allow for quicker handling, you can set a limit of how much you want to be able to pay before you get asked your pin code, which defaults at like 25 bucs, so if the card gets nicked and they don't know the code, you're only really in the hole for 25 bucks, it's something one can overcome :D well they could do it for multiple days if you don't block the card the same day, but even then they would eventually hit a check where it wants the pin code on certain intervals that are also part of the program, every once in a while it just wants that code anyway as an extra check to limit the damage bad actors can do. minor purchases can be done quickly with just the rfid without asking the pin every single time, and you could even disable that "wallet" functionality if you relly wanted to none of the latter have to do with ideal, but i'm just pointing out how payments are done in most of the phsyical dutch world :D
also almost all banks in the Netherlands have a direct transfer of money, it just take a few seconds to transfer money to an account from another bank.
Well, that depends. There is also a lot of unhealthy food around in the Netherlands. Getting sick in other countries is often related to making bad and uninformed choices in selecting restaurants etc.
In the Netherlands we have a system that you normally only can pay if you have the money to pay. So you pay in cash or with debitcard (card/phone or smartwatch). The money will come direcly from your bank account. No money no payment. Credit Cards are not very common because you get the bill after a couple of time and if you can't pay it you have a problem.

My friend from Florida came to visit me in NL and had lots of cash with him (€100 bills from the ATM). After 2 weeks he still had the cash and almost could not get rid of it... we really are almost a cashless society and €100 bills don’t get accepted anywhere! 😊😂
We hardly have any diet products, because of the law. A healthy diet doesn't contain those products. But there is ''light' (no sugar added) and sugar-free (Zero sugar, but often sweeteners). So orange, pineapple, grape or apple juice light contains the natural sugars from the fruit. Dairy products light idem dito, no added sugars or thickeners.
The Dutch not working after 5 does not apply to all businesses. Most are open until 18:00 with supermarkets often until 20:00 or sometimes even later than that. But white collar/office jobs generally are.
I work in a callcenter with hours varying from 7:00 till 15:00 to 13:30 till 22:00. But they specifaclly mean something like "once you're done, you're done". We dont take work home.
We had a municipal system to transfer money from one business to the other without walking in the street with bags of money, it was called Giro. The government had a deposit system where people could (temporarily) store their money without the risks connected to private banks.And we had a post cheque system for payment through the post office with ID, without money in the envelope. These services were combined into the national 'Post Cheque en Giro Dienst' for efficiency. In the early 1960's the government started to use this service for all money interactions with citizens, be it old age pension, widow pension, student study payment, etc., so to receive money all involved had to open an account at the PCGD. From which they could transfer it to their own bank if wanted. But many did not and used the post office as a kind of bank. The deposit and saving system (Rijkspostspaarbank) merged in, and together they formed a national bank with all services. In the 1970's most Dutch people had an account at the PCGD and banking services were getting modernized and computerized. Because of their size they became the most advanced bank in the Netherlands. Any product of this Postbank was accepted by all. So it was a hard competition for privit banks. After the debit card and internet banking the EU forced the government to privatize the bank, but it remained the biggest by far. The ING card, with immediate transfer of payment from one account to the other, is still the most common way to pay.
I'm 65 and Dutch, but never new that Sinaasappel was derived from "Chinese Apple". However; it is correct. My etymologic dictionary says so. So it must be...
Dat is ook niet zoo! Sinaas, is iets anders dan Chinees. Wat sinaas betekent, weet ik niet. Mensen moeten ook niet van ieder klein stukje woord een betekenis willen weten.
@@demooisteNAAM Ik ga er vanuit dat mijn Van Dale Etymologisch woordenboek correct is. En wat mensen wel en niet willen weten mogen ze wat mij betreft zelf bepalen. Vriendelijke groet.
@@galliglobal het is ook niet eens zo vergezocht. Ik heb me eerder afgevraagd waar het woord sinaasappel vandaan komt en dit klinkt ook wel logisch.

Since July 1ste 2024 catcalling and sexual harassment in public is illegal by law. Victims can report the crime to the police and the perpetrator can be prosecuted.
I mean yeah if it can be proven you did it, but I doubt many people will get prosecuted because the capacity at the courts is already way too low and dealing with such cases as catcalling isn't really a priority now is it.
I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is an old video of Michelle and Eric's. The catcalling had been a problem with mostly Islamic teen boys who didn't understand the individuality and freedom of Dutch teen girls and young women, which didn't mean they were like whores and shouldn't be treated disdainfully or condescendingly. I don't think this is such a problem today because of better social educating - thank social media - and Dutch girls aren't shy and would have no problem getting back in their faces...hahaha I always refrigerate my eggs after bringing them home too. Commerce is now catering more to the foreigner than before, say, the Pandemic years. A lot of stores when I first came here wouldn't accept credit cards which do now. And if they don't there's a bank machine (ATM) around the corner. And I think Dutch public broadcasting stations are more concerned with abuse than swearing and public affection, though the culture itself isn't much into displays of public affection anyway.
About the no sugar (#3): the labeling most likely refers to ADDED sugar, not the sugar already present in the fruits used for the soda, so for fanta oranges.
The apple pay one actually surprised me, just like the idea that you pay with cash only here sometimes. The Netherlands is one of the most advanced countries when it comes to online payments, and there are actually many cities in the Netherlands where most places have card only pay rather than cash only.
When eggs are refrigerated, and you bring them home. The change in temperature spoil the eggs faster. We buy them from the shelf, and at home we put them in the refrigerator. So the temperature while moving the eggs stay the same and don’t spoil in the meantime. That’s the reason.
Well actually… if eggs are refrigerated in the supermarket and taken home in normal temperature condensation can form on the shell which damages the protective layer. So once it’s in the fridge it needs to stay in the fridge.
Actually, neither one is correct. In the USA eggs are treated with a substance supposedly preventing salmonella infection. However, Thar treatment also makes the shell more porous, which then turns them bad faster. That is why eggs in the USA need to refrigerated and in the Netherlands you can keep them for up to a month outside the refrigerator. If you want, you can refrigerate them, though…
Credit cards are typically only accepted at places with a lot of natural international interactions, such as hotels and gas stations. The average retail shops and supermarkets don’t accept credit cards. Main reason is that the vendor has to pay a percentage to the credit card company and why would they when everybody here has debit cards instead.
We pay most things with debit card, could be via Apple Pay. Most people will not have a credit card. You rarely need it, only for some webshops and when going abroad to some countries. Cash is becoming rare for us, most supermarkets will have self checkout, with debit card or Apple Pay options. Credit card is super rare.
I am dutch and I always put my eggs in the refrigerator right after I come home from the supermarket. I don’t know why I do that but it is just how my parents do it and I think everyone else does this as well but I’ve never paid attention to it really
The eggs that are sold here in the Netherlands are not washed. In fact, the sellers are, by law, not allowed to wash their eggs. Unless they state clearly on the packaging that they are washed and should be stored refrigerated. Washing eggs is rarely done, and I have not seen such packing in any supermarket. This leaves the natural protective layer on the eggshell in tact, which delays spoilage substantially. We can and sometimes do store our eggs in the refrigerator. Refrigeration will extend the time the eggs can be safely consumed to more than four weeks. Many people here buy eggs in a six-pack, and these are typically consumed within a week, so storing them in the fridge is not necessary. And no, we have not had any outbreaks of salmonella or other nasty diseases. Practicing normal good hygiene is sufficient to prevent this.
When we buy fries then on the package it says Patattes Frites. In the north of the Netherlands they say Pattat when they want to buy fries and in the South we say Friet (that is how the frites of pattates frites is pronounced). Pattat(es) means potato and frites mean (fried). I don’t care, as long as I get my friets 😅 We almost never use credit cards to pay in stores or restaurants. I do have a credit card to pay for my Apple and other devices. But in restaurants or shops I use Apple Pay or the standard bankcard and that works super easy. We never give our credit card to someone else, but it’s no problem to give you my bank number (which is something the Americans are shocked about). The store is always reasonably cool and the eggs are only a short time in the shelves before you actually buy them. But my eggs go straight into the fridge when I’m at home :) And the TV series/shows have always been uncensored here. We can swear like the best 😂 When we first heard the f-word we used it everywhere (it was sexy to use English words), but most of us had no idea what we were actually saying. Only later we knew, but by that time it was normal to use the word :) And a few decennia ago we had a campaign to make people aware of how much sugar there is in every day products. You get scared if you see how many sugar there is in Heinz ketchup. To replace the normal sugar they used sugar replacements to keep the same taste I guess. Money is more important than the buyer’s health. But still… I’m convinced that the European product is always better for your health than the US equivalent.

Most people only have a credit card because we once a year go on vacation and we know that in a lot of foreign countries the credit card is mandatory to secure a hotel reservation. Personally other than that, I do not use my credit card at all. Only to book a hotel with. But nowadays, even that, can be paid fully in advance now. For me it is only to have a back up, or for example, they do not accept cash or my Dutch debit bank card (Maestro) does not work and my Apple Pay does not work.
The annoying part about only using your credit card for holidays is that those “once a year payments” in a foreign country often get flagged by the bank as “suspicious”. So far I had my card blocked while on vacation on two different occasions XD
Our municipalities are very efficient. Recently I renewed my driver's license, as well as my passport. Online I could check which office (which quarter) had the nearest available time lock. In the past you went, pulled your number and waited.... In all occasions I was assisted exactly on time, or within five minutes (for which I received an apology). My new driver's license and my passport I could pick up within five business days. When I left after renewing I was advised to make an appointment immediately, on the spot. That's what I did. I could pick my day and time. All in all (four visits) I was in our municipality office for 40 minutes (again, four visits in and out). My cousin in California told me, they had to wait weeks before her passport arrived. BTW there's also a URGENT service, against a small surcharge. Then one can get a passport in three days, or (also a surcharge) it being couriered to you.
@@knol1969 The debit card is only a small part of the bank charges. If you have a credit card you need a bank account to pay it off so you pay €26 and €38.60
I don't know what happened to the labeling, but it used to be compulsory to show very clearly if a product contained artificial sweeteners. Now you really have to read the label, for it will NOT show if it has artificial sweeteners when it also has sugar in it. I personally find this a very bad trend here in the Netherlands. Sure, too much sugar is bad, but I doubt that chemical stuff is healthy either.
Eggs are protected naturally by a certain (wax) layer. That's why eggs stay good outside the refrigerator for weeks. In nature an egg is hatched in three weeks.... Doesn't need refrigeration 😉 I learnt in the USA slaughtered chickens are washes with bleached and also the eggs are washed. The washing rinses off the natural protection, hence American eggs must be kept in a refrigerator. In the Netherlands it's advised against to put eggs in the refrigerator, despite there's always a tray for eggs. The food in the Netherlands is more fresh, anyway. My supermarkets (two) are in a five minutes walk distance. I don't own a refrigerator but buy everything fresh daily. By the way: a simple test to find out if eggs are good or not. Put an egg in water. If it sinks it's fresh/good to consume. If it's standing up, under water: still good to eat but not that fresh. Does it floot.... Not good at all. Throw it away. That's how I survived plus half a century, eating Dutch unrefrigerated egss.
I haven’t heard of an advice against putting eggs in the fridge, only that once you put them in there, they have to stay in there until use. If you take them out a condensation layer will form on the shell which damages the protective layer.
The catcalling in the big cities is a great shame, those men should be punished. As a woman I feel degraded, filthy, attacked. Those men and boys have not been brought up to see Women as human beings who should be respected and honoured.
Cat Calling woman is due to the large amount of immigrants from islamic countries. Not so much from native Dutch guys. And of construction workers standing on scaffolding. But that's more of a compliment than sexual harassment.
That the Dutch do not work after 5:00 PM is a lie. I work in Logistics and I also work after that time. I think they have an office job and yes, work in the office stops after 5:00 PM. But he said that "the Dutch" stopping work after that time is a lie.
I do put eggs in the fridge after I bought them. Eggs don't do to well with temperature changes. Apparently that's why they're transported and stored unrefrigerated, but it's fine to keep them in the fridge once you bought them; the temperature in a fridge is always pretty much the same, so that helps. Also, supermarkets are usually airconditioned, so the temperature is pretty steady, a lot of houses in the Netherlands are not. Remember to get the eggs back to room temperature before you use them for baking ;-)
To prevent problems with bacteria, we refrigerate our eggs after they are processed. But outside the U.S., most countries leave that protective cuticle intact. They also employ other methods to ward against salmonella, like vaccinating hens and packing and selling eggs near where they are laid
Dutch use a bank card most. Can be physical or digital. Then there is no extra tax on it. You can easy set limits on it. Much much much easier then a credit card
To me (I'm Dutch) point no. 3 is really a pain to be honest. I get a really nasty bitter after taste from artificial sweeteners like Aspartame, Acesulfame-K , Sucralose and the likes (not from Stevia tho). It's getting increasingly hard to find drinks without artificial sweeteners in them, because I now have to check every ingrediënt list, instead of only looking for sugar sweetened or Stevia sweetened beverages (the last one being quite rare). I hate it when I have to ask the waiter to check for artificial sweeteners in every drink l like to order, instead of just ordering a regular with just sugar in it, like before. :/
it's far better than drinking 500 calories while you could have basicaly the same taste and avoid all the calories + Diabetes people want something to drink too
8:18 "ff naar de appie" (de Albert Heijn) is what I often say. It's usualy the supermarket me, my family and friends go to. It is almost everywhere and even has mini versions called AH to go. It's not the cheapest tho but it has great quallity and the best 'slager' (butcher) in my opinion.
stores used to sell the tampons with aplicators here up till really not that long ago....but they were one of the first things to go when we got all iffy about single use plastics over here.....i only know coz the missus was not best pleased when they dissapeared almost over night
I don't put eggs in the fridge no. Some people do. I live in Utrecht, before in Rotterdam and the catcalling was a lot in Rotterdam. In Utrecht it seems to be way less.
The campaign, and fines, really seems to work for some. Men start to address each other for not doing it, out of decency or 'fine fear'. Btw it is unlawful now, but hey so is wrong parking.
Yes, the word sinaasappel comes from chinese apple. The potatoes (earth apples): for a lot of years, the standard meal in nl had potatoes, meat and 1 or 2 vegetables. And gravy. Every. Single. Meal. The same. Only variation was the kind of meat and the kind of veg.
@@paulbulk7044 not complaining but explaining. In a lot of countries potatoes are used as a vegetable as far as i know. Here it was the standard carb. I’m glad that we now also know how to make a dinner with bread,pasta, rice, etc.
As a dutchy ive just always put my eggs in the fridge. Just like anything that can go bad in a week orso meats some cheeses etc outsidr of fridge i just cool all of it.

What is very noticable is that kids in NL (very) often use the worst curse words in English that they have heard on TV without really knowing that they are cursing. The same kids wouldn't use Dutch curse words nearly so much.
The problem in the US is that companies market nationwide, but taxes are set, in part, at the state level. So you can't really advertise a price everyone will pay unless the assumption is that state taxes are calculated at the end, which is what they do. Burger King gets to say WhateverCombo for 5.99, and states collect their cut, it's not optimal, but it works for the most part.
Sinaasappel does indeed refer to China. The Dutch word is derived from the French pomme de Sine, which means China apple. Sina is the old word for China. The sweet orange was brought to Europe by the Portuguese from southern China in the sixteenth century.
You see swearing on tv here all the time but not in kids shows obviously. Theres no time restriction, they just know "ok so kids wont watch this, you can swear" We dont use credit cards, only debit. We dont like to be in debt.
In the USA eggs are washed before they are send to the supermarkets. This basically removes the natural protection that the shell offers against salmonella and dehydration. Credit card fees are much higher for a store than for Debit cards.
I think many people actually do have a credit card but that they mainly use them for holidays, booking concert tickets or hotels etc. Well that's why I have one ;-) I rarely use it when going shopping actually. Ik like to only spend money that's actually in my bank account and I guess most Dutch people feel this way.
The eggs: in europe we dont wash them so we dont need to cool them to prevent salmonella. CC, most shops dont allow CC payments. Apple pay and the likes is a more recent thing, but electronic payments by debit card is super normal.
Hmm i live in Amsterdam but i didnt knew about the number 1.. Crazy sometimes to get to know more about my country/city by youtube reactions! So thank you for that!
Most people hold their eggs in the refrigerator, because this way they can be used for a much longer time than the expiry date .. outside the fridge, you better adhere to expiry date. I don't know about the US but we have here "free walk out eggs", where chickens have the opportunity to go outside and be chickens (make a mess of the garden), these are of course more expensive than normal eggs, but other than that quality should be about the same.
Fanta in the Netherlands is completely different from what they sell in the US (which is bright orange and much sweeter), so they were in for a big disappointment there anyway :P. But if you want to avoid artificial sweeteners for whatever reason, just go for the regular version of that particular drink. The "zero" and "no sugar" versions are typically meant to mimic the taste of the original, so the sweetness has to come from somewhere :). However, some newer sodas have been introduced only in a zero version, following the example of Sprite (which became zero-only in NL a couple of years ago).
Logically speaking you should be ashamed to live on credit cards. In most countries in Europe people don't spend money on credit, they pay instantly by debit card (or cash).
The idea of using credit cards is insane. Paying several percent fee for the benefit of delaying payment? That seems horrible financial practice. And there is no such thing as "apple pay versus debit cards or..." If you are using Apple Pay you are paying using the card that Apple remembered. It's either the plastic card or the phone to deliver the info, but you are always using either bank card or credit card.
For the appointments you schedule the pick up at the same time as you do the admitting just x days later depending how long it takes to proces the aplication.
About the 'zero' drinks. I absolutely hate them as well. Aspartame is really gross and has (at least for me) a bitter and sour aftertaste that doesn't fit a sweet drink at all. What I know is: artificial sweetener is very potent compared to sugar. (I'm not sure but I think it's about 200 times sweeter) And well, what do you think is the cheapest, transporting 200 kg of sugar or 1kg of sweetener?
Eggs are awesome and have a really long shelf life( i think it would not be very good for the bird species when eggs jusy spoil in their nests), i keep eggs outside of the fridge for sometimes 2 months and when i use them they always fresh enough
Huh? Are we going full Inception now? Watching a video about a couple reacting to something else. Next we re going to have someone reacting to this video reacting to a couple reacting to something else. But OK..
Of course Dutch eggs are magical 🤣 Just kidding 😉. Eggs I put in de fridge when I come home. We have a special box in the fridge for eggs. And usually we eat them quite quickley, so no danger for them getting rotten, or we getting sick. And most of them come in a 6-pack, so you need to buy fresh eggs often. Large packs are usually bought for baking cakes or by big familiy’s🥚
in general people use debitcards and the get accepted everywere, even most vending machines have them or public restrooms. there are even places that don't accept only debit cards. it is safer to have a business were no cash is so it has no value to robbers, or for the owners to go to the bank with lots of cash to make a deposit. but many places, often in the cervising industry like hotels accept credit cards, but most regular chops and grocery chops like supermarkets
Creditcards in stores are not used very often and for stores it's relatively expensive to have that option in the store. Online people do use creditcards, but still it's not a favorite way to pay, mainly because of high interest rates for users in comparison to other payment methods.
also in nederland eggs have a long live the date is a minemen time if you use solt/ pekel it can live even longet upto a year thay use is in ta in portugal and if you dont know use water if the egg zink the egg is good
Sinaasappel is indeed China's Apple. Because the oranges were imported from Asia/China hundred of years ago. So we called it like that since that. We only use debit cards in the Netherlands. But you can connect your debet card with Apple Pay or Google Wallet. So you can wireless pay via those apps. You can also use the nfc chip in the debet card. We don't understand why people use credit cards in daily usage. The only thing you do with that is building debts with such a card. Is doesn't make sense
I pay for almost everything with my phone, groceries, gas, the hairdresser and so on. Certainly refueling is easy, I can now keep driving the bike, all I have to do is hold my phone at the payment terminal and I continue driving, without taking off a helmet, ideal, right? Paying with notes and coins is no longer a thing of the past.
We've always refrigerated eggs in our family, we never leave them out on the counter. I only had to use Google Pay in an emergency, but I'm strongly against it. I use my debit card all the time, but I do see people using the phone to pay quite a lot. Regarding the potatoes: believe me, they story around peanut butter in the Netherlands is much more interesting. It came to the country after '45, and due to Dutch law that prohibited produce to be called butter if it wasn't it, they had to come up with a new name, so they took another thing we love: cheese, hence the name 'Pindakaas' (= peanut cheese). The store brand vegan stuff here is not that good, I prefer Valess or De Vegetarische Slager. They're often on offer in the supermarket. Appointment to pick up something? Not really that common. If I have to pick up f.e. my new passport at Burgerzaken, I just go there and pick it up. Mind you, most of the time, only people with an appointment are in the waiting hall, at one time my city had 1-2 hours on Friday to go without an appointment, which was always packed.
I like these two, they seem like fun 😊 The credit card thing is just a non-issue, we use mostly a debit-card based system. All banks here use the same system, and its even been expanded to a european system to transfer money relatively easy.
As a dutchy, I have never liked Fanta, I also think it tastes a little off, I don't know what it is. I do like other brands of orange lemonade just not Fanta, not even as a kid.
I hate sweeteners. It’s the aftertaste. I hate it. And the fact that they’re chemicals instead of food. No sugar means 0 sugar. No added sugar means there can still be some sugar, but only the sugars that naturally exist in fruit. Actually it’s getting harder and harder to find soda or lemonade without sweeteners. They’re mostly either all sweeteners or both real and fake sugar. And always way to sweet anyway. Tampon applicators are rare. We have fingers. And a tap.
