      @hireshi-azu I would say i found my visit to London better, than living here in Norway. The ordinary grocery stores and such had better prices for me, but then again the paychecks are most likely lower than what you get in Norway also. The look of the nature itself, is better in Norway though, but you got places that look good ALL over the world.

      Kimberley Chan - it’s not actually butter, it’s margarine, therefore it doesn’t solidify as strongly as real butter does. Even taking it directly out of the refrigerator I would compare the consistency of the squeeze butter to room temperature stick butter.
      An even less popular option we have here in the United States is spray butter(margarine). It is actually in a liquid form and will stay in liquid form even if you put it into the refrigerator.
      The spray butter and squeeze butter is made by a company called “parkway”. I’m sure with a quick google search you’ll be able to find it!

      Norway is wealthy because oil was found there. Basics are expensive because despite their government sitting on over a trillion dollars of oil money, they turn right around and tax their citizen's personal income tax rates at 55%. Corporate profits tax ranges from 28% to as high as 78%. Guess what that means? Companies have to raise prices on their goods to make a profit, which affects consumers. In short, Norway has a stingy, greedy government, but tries to sell itself as a "socialist utopia."

    I don't know about Norway, but in Finland the price per can or bottle of any alcoholic beverage is required by law to be the same no matter how many you buy (part of the logic being so you don't buy more than you "need" because it would be "cheaper") and you have to offer them for sale individually. Then the stores typically do not bother taking the cans out of the cases since people can just help themselves.

You need to visit Mexico and eat tacos in the street, once you’ve tried “tacos al pastor” then you can say you actually have eaten real tacos. Real tacos are never EVER made of taco “hard shells” or stuff like that. Tacos also, are not made out of processed foods, I’d never use anything frozen to prepare my tacos.

    Surge was first branded in Norway (as "Urge") by the Coca-Cola Company as a potential competitor to PepsiCo's Mountain Dew. They attempted to launch Surge abroad, but it wasn't a massive hit. The reason why it stayed in Norway was because PepsiCo had failed to put Mountain Dew on the Norwegian market at all, so the only drink filling that gap, was Urge. To this day, Urge is way more popular than Mountain Dew, and you'll be lucky to find Mountain Dew anywhere except for expensive stores or restaurants that have a deal with PepsiCo.

    Food and drink usually comes to about 164-219 dollars when me and my wife eat out. Then again, we don't go to really fancy restaurants. Btw, if the strawberries are bad, they are imported. If you buy them in season, then yes, very good. Also, the shrimp is already cooked. Best way to prepare it is just put it in the fridge over night to thaw. If you're in a rush just wash them over with warm water, but that ruins a lot of the taste.

    If you want the really fresh butter, MAKE IT YOURSELF! Get some whipping cream and keep it on blend and you will soon have fresh butter. Really easy! You can add your own touch of salt, chives, garlic, or whatever.

    1:15; Kiwi is, as some others point out, one of the cheaper companys on groceries. Meny is definitely way more expensive, but also include more fancier choices of brands.
    And I say this as a Norwegian myself

    Fun fact: Fiskegrateng (the fish "mac'n'cheese") is loved by a lot of people over here. It makes itself (just put in the oven for 45 minutes), and it fills you up. Yummy. In contrast: I'm no fan of actual mac'n'cheese

    So, I come home from grocery shopping (making sure to get my single can of expensive cider), make dinner, and sit down to watch.. people grocery shopping. What am I doing with my life...? XD

    Hejhej. Some background.
    The Scandinavians want to prevent salmonella, they hardly import meat and therefore the prices are higher compared to Germany.
    Scandinavians love and buy their traditional products and brands.
    The marketing knows the ice cream war of Unilever and the washing powder war of proctor gamble and also Lidl failed...

      Not entirely true. We import a lot of meats from Brazil, for instance. But yeah, we have sky-high standards for meat, so it's usually pretty high quality. And Norwegians themselves prefer meats and dairy products that are produced at home.

    ppl prob wrote it allready, the way to get the bread back in the bag is to take the bread on the tray that sticks out on the top, take a plastic bag around the bread, tie it, then put it back in the breadbag with the bread inside the plastic bag ^^

    the shrinp is pre-cooked, thats why they are a redish color. so you just put them on a tray and let them defrost and then you can eat it with white bread and mayonnaise. thats super delicious
