I remember the butter crisis in Norway a few years ago. Just before Christmas, and everyone wanted to bake their families' traditional cookies. But no butter. Quite a horror show! My mom was in Denmark at the time, and bought like 20 packets back to Norway to distribute among friends haha.

- smcl 4y agoI dunno how famous this was within Norway, but the Norwegian butter crisis is mainly known within my circle of friends because of a video called "A Butter message to the USA!" by a Norwegian comedian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub0GzU56YMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub0GzU56YMA The different pronunciations of "refridgerator" and the threat to break into your house and eat all your butter in front of you and your family had me in tears the first time I saw it :D
