- Bromskloss 10y agoAh, you're right. I didn't pay attention to that.
- mrweasel 10y agoAnd annoyingly when buying "blueberries" in Denmark, what you expect and what you get a two different berries. We expect to get blueberries like the ones that grow in Sweden, instead we get "American blueberries". There was a trend a few years ago, where the wonders of blueberries and their antioxidant content. I made people run out to buy blueberries in mass. They just bought the run one, because the claim was only sort of valid for European blueberries and everything in the stores was American blueberries. I believe that technically they are suppose to mark them as "American blueberries, but no one seems to do that.
