As an American I really enjoy watching TikToks about Norwegian culture. The internet has a funny way of creating the most random, fun, and educational videos about Norway. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
I died inside when she called it a toaster, you can clearly see slices from cut breads.
Yea, we don't usually toast bread, we like freshly baked breads sliced instead.
I have recently learned that Americans usually just have bagged bread that are already cut. They don’t have the bread cutter like we do🤷♀️
@@KaeyasSoggySocks Not sure i would call it bread even. I prefer yogamat free bread.
Toaster! 🤣
@@BergenDev true, I haven’t personally tasted it. But from what I have seen from other Norwegians that have, it’s disgusting. Like their loaf isn’t even loaf🤢🤢
7:32 Its not butter in a squeeze tube; it's liquid margarine/vegetable oil mix in a squeeze bottle. For baking or cooking.
8:25 that's not a toaster; that's a bred slicer. You insert your bred of choice, and it spits out a fully sliced bred.
ye like when it said a toaster i said WHAT bc i use those bc they are every store in norway or where i live in norway
Thank you! I was going to write exactly this - about the butter in a tube and the "toaster" :-)
Also, this says something about how many people don't know the difference between butter and margarine. :), and aaalso - the liquid stuff is a mix of the two.
@@LifeOnHothyes, depending on brand though since there are mixtures without butter.
Yeah i was gonna say the same they are so wrong in this video with the shop
This guy is so smart. He knows Norwegians are curious enough to click on anything that has "Norway" in it. And all he has to do is react to the videos. Bonus points for being positive and amazed, and for asking questions people will gladly answer again and again in the comments.
It’s bc Norway is literally not seen in many videos I’m Norwegian and whenever I see smth with Norway even though the videos are boring I click it by an instant💀 idk why lol but before I used to SEARCH UP NORWAY to find videos OF NORWAY
Im Norwegian and i do this all the time cuz it makes me feel a little famous💀
Exactly haha.. It's pretty blatant.
The first one isn't really a blizzard, looks like a regular snowday to me.

@@Preppykindgurl ja en helt vanlig dag og exstra gøy med snø krig og sånt
My dad when i was a kid on a bad snow day: "If you're not dying, you are going to school. End of discussion". ^^, true story
Lol. Same with my mum 😂
He he, exactly same with my dad. I'm from Norway and remember many a winter day with heavy snow and my dad said "there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing". And then kicked me out in the snow and said go to school. No kidding.
Sounds about right. The only unexpected day off we had growing up was when the king died.
I work as a teacher and on wednesday last week the snow was so bad that all the busses were cancelled and none of the students were able to get home from school. We ended up ordering pizza and watching a movie until their parents were able to pick them up (most of them also had trouble with getting there by car...). I ended up driving three of the kids home myself since the parents were stuck in the snow x)
«A toaster»💀💀 That’s a bread slicing machine.
🤣
I remember that I always ate the leftover bread bc it was free and I was hungry af whenever my mom took me to the grocery store BUT IS IT REALLY TRUE AMERICA DOESNT HAVE KINKE OST OR KAVIAR IN TUBE OR EVEN SMALL CANDY SHOP and why don’t their shops are closed on sundays!? LUCKY
Yrs
yes a big toaster😑
The butter in a tube is for baking, not to put on your bread 😂
yeah, it's liquid margarin and it's usually used in the waffle-iron in order to make wafffles easier to remove
Dam is it not that would be good but hey butter in a tube for baking make so much easier
I would say more for frying stuff. Fore baking I prefer proper butter 😊
It's not butter
It is because it is easier to bake with it
This didn't look like a blizzard. Just snowy day with a bit wind, and skiing is fun. 😊
probably a day or two since the blizzard
@@johan.ohgrenno this is normal in winter
@@johan.ohgren That wasn’t a blizzard, just a normal snowy day. You Americans is just weaklings
@@johan.ohgren With gusts up to 22m/s it's not a blizzard, just a fresh breeze bordering to a small gale, in *gusts*.
Yh I agree when there was a blizzard where I lived it was way more wind and snow falling from the sky and knee high snow it was the hardest thing ever to walk in IT TOOK ME 15 MINS TO WALK 1 KM
In the 60's I lived in Norway. School was about 3km from home. I could either take the road or go through the woods. In winter, depending on snow condition, I and our friends would either walk, ski or take use a "spark" (like a chair on runners) to get to school.
Here in the 60 and 70`s and early 80 , If we lived within a distance of 4 km we had to walk to the school until 1981 ,then the km limit was reduced to 1 km, sometimes i used to walk back a km to get with the bus. depending on whom drove the bus, we had one very very old driver with a mercedes bread bus who was strict , not allowed to walk back ... .lol
My grandmother of sorts back in the 40's rode her bicycle or walked for 20(british) miles up and down a small mountain to get to school, each way.
Old people were built different!
Yes i did that my self and my sister since we are on the same school so skiing was pretty normale back then was in 1968, it was about 3 km to the school here too and in the summer we walked or used a bicycle, never any parrenst who drive us to the school!
Well, it happens in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Of course the kids are going to school. A little snow is no obstacle. Only the spoiled stay at home...
The other day we had -34°C (-29.2°F), of course schools and workplaces were open here where I live.
I am sure that in the northern USA (Alaska) they have exactly the same conditions. So what is strange about this?
100 years ago Norway had a lot of ships sailing all over the world, and they were out at sea for a long time, they needed food that could last long. That's one of the reasons that in 1923 the Norwegian company Kavli was the first company in the world to produce that kind of cheese. In 1925 they started to sell it internationally. And I guess we Norwegian quickly found it practically to bring with us to or cabins, traveling long distance or more extreme like Roald Amundsen who brought it with him on his expeditions.
I come from the south of Norway and here in the south, the snow situation during the winter is all or nothing. This year it's all!
And now you got hit again..
Hearing the flåklypa soundtrack several time through out the video just reminds me that you have to see that movie one day, it is so stereotypical Norway and one for the history books.
5:20 for your information... Haaland plays from the kid's rival's team Manchester City, and the kid supports Manchester United
There is only one Manchester and all Norwegians know it.
Moreller, the cherries she showed in the store, are specifically sweet cherries, for the record.
Sour cherries are called kirsebær.
I swear the schools in Norway would rather give everyone straight A´s than turn on the heaters. Then the few times they have mercy... they overdo it and it gets too warm.
Those tubed cheeses are yummy.
And that's not a toaster, but a bread cutting machine.
For the first one, that is actually pretty normal in Norway. Just a few days ago it was like -27˚ Celsius(so not that cold) and about 3 meters of snow…I used like 5min to open the door(and still the only thing that shut down was our local IKEA!)
Is not a toaster.. LOOOL.. is a bread slicer
He's American, he has no idea about the world
@@alwynemcintyre2184 yeah, he ask and ask questions in his react videos but never react to answering comments
@@alwynemcintyre2184 All bc he called it a toaster 💀 Do you realize not everyone lives in Europe or the fact that Americans have their bread usually sliced?
@@alwynemcintyre2184 And if you payed attention, the video captioned it "Toaster" 💀 yall go crazy when someone isn't from y'all country- embarrassing
It isn’t embarrassing BC IF YOU INSTANTLY THOUGHT THAT WAS A TOASTER THATS EMBARRASSING
Norwegian are very chilled. We take winter as it comes.
And yeah… snow is just… when you think about the word Norway 🇳🇴 you just think of much snow, you know that is so amazing
1: the butter is liquid and mixed with oil. It's for lubing the frying pan.
2: that's not a toaster, it's a machine for slicing bread
3: yes the natural Norwegian English accent is truly horrible. But most learn to hide it quite well and adopt a British or American way of speaking
Confuse them; adopt an Indian accent
I would say most ppl in Norway speak like the norwegian accent, I do at least and I cant stop 😭
As a western norwegian, I've only heard easterns speak english like that xD
Well, we actually had some snow days this month. Came so much snow the whole schools were covered and no doors available. And today they also closed a few as the weather changed to plus celsius and the snow crushed some school roofs..
The tubes with cheese. Are cream cheese. They are medium on the price range not completely cheap, not completely expensive. And they have a loooong shelf life.
They also have mackerel in tomatoes on a tube. And mayonnaise, tubes all over😅
It's a great thing, because what you want in food is low surface area for oxidation and bacteria buildup and the tubes fixes both of those issues.
The cheese is the tubes is actually a Norwegian invention: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primula_(food)
it's an abnormal winter this season I would say .. specially in the south and western areas in Norway... Northern Norway I would say is more used to it
No, they're not used to this extreme snowfall in the north. It happened to them a few years ago. It's not about the total amount of snow, because they can get enormous amounts up north, but how fast it came is not normal anywhere in Norway. It will only get worse as the climate warms up.
I am strictly talking about the south of Norway cause that's most of news stories you see from .... South, south west@@jeschinstad pay attention to where the locations are from ... most of it seem like it's southern Norway, not the northern. besides Yeah Northern Norway may be more used to heavy snow. from someone who lives in Northern Norway to me it sometimes make me giggle
Actually If you’re Norwegian you’d hear about the snow blizzard going all around southern Norway this year having more snow than ever before so it’s more snow in the south rn or at least it was in the winter
I’m from the south of Norway and I’m used to heavy snow
@@YoRobloxGirl1234 yea I seen few news reports of it.
11:20 Under 30kr is cheap beer (0.5l = 16.9fl oz) in the grocery stores, over 30 more expensive ones. If you're going out the absolute cheapest is around 50kr, but normally the lowest price is around 70kr and the average price around 100kr. It's not uncommon with 120kr and up either, but that's expensive.
The "Toaster" really was a bread cutting machine for putting a whole loaf of bread into it, and it comes out fully cut up with about 20 to 25 pieces of bread.
The Norwegian mountains were formed around 400 million years ago, during the Caledonian orogeny.
Couldn't find any videos or satellite images of it happening so hmmmmmm 🧐
@@zarahandrahilde9554 I hope you're being sarcastic lmao
@@zarahandrahilde9554 well it happened 400 million years ago, so no wonder you coudn't find any sat or vid on it 😋
The first tiktok is how I grew up😂 every single winter lol. Great reaction! Hope you have a good day:)
Cheese in a tube is so very Good we have it here in Sweden too easy to put on a sandwitch
Without proper winter clothing it can be dangerous to play in snow, but with proper clothes to keep you warm and mostly dry, it's heaven (for kids). Not surprising that people in places where it doesn't usually snow are a bit more hesitant to let their kids out to soak and potentially freeze to death 😂
What doesn´t kill you...
It actually could kill you by frost bite if you don’t get rid of your frost bite by cutting of your frost bites
The reason I’m saying this is if you go in t shirt in Norway in the winter there is a high chance of getting frost bite and dying the only way to get rid of it is to cut off that body part that got a frostbite
@@YoRobloxGirl1234 Why would you go in a T-shirt? Put on warm clothes like the comment says XD
9:33 yes it is😭
its like
march: "finally the sun is here!!!"
like, two days later: 10cm of snow
7:55 - What a wonderful reaction from the country where you can buy cheese in spray cans ;D ;D ;D
SPRAY CANS!?
WE SELL IT IN TUBES MUXED WITH HAM
AND BACON
A Norwegian invented Aerosol, but American's invented spray food.
American's love spray cheese and it's weird.
The 1st video, that kid will be telling his grandkids:
Back in my day, I had to walk trough snowstorms etc to go to school
Us who are a bit of age now, doenst lie when we say this, we all have done this
That wasn’t a snow storm, it’s just a normal snowy day. You Americans are just too damn sheltered over everything
Throwing water like that and it freezing immediately in only -24C means it's cold/ tepid water, for boiling water to instantly freeze it has to be colder than -50C, which happened in the 90s in Kautokeino, and they threw boiling water on the news haha. It was -56 IIRC
if you have good insulated pants for winter/trip to the forest/camping that does not get wet or get ruined easily, along with thermal underwear and good shoes that block out snow you can just walk in 3-4 feet of snow no problem.. you also need a good jacket ofc but i was focusing on the part that waddles through the snow. also don't forget wool socks because in the case you do get snow in the shoes and your socks get wet you'll still be warm even if they're wet.
ello! This is from Norway! We live far to the north, and that means we have more seasons than many others, we have four seasons. It starts with winter, then spring, then summer, then autumn, and that's how the days go here in the North. Snow, snowmelt, summer, and brown leaves on the trees, it also starts all over again. NOW it's winter, and then it snows in the vast majority of places in Norway, most often in northern Norway, and least in the south, but that's not always true, like this year, when southern Norway has more snow than northern Norway. Yes, we had it thrown at us a bit, and some people always think that this is the worst they have seen, but I have lived in Norway for all my 60 years, so I know that all winter seasons are different. So then there are some things that make things a little more difficult, like electric buses, electric cars, they stop everywhere, it destroys a lot of the daily traffic, because the batteries can't withstand the winter in Norway, but they have to drive anyway. We also have the electric buses, which struggle with exactly the same thing, but in addition, they are hopeless in winter, and as everyone knows, we have many uphills and just as many downhills, and they can't stand either of them if there is a tiny bit of snow in them the road.
So I understand this boy at the beginning who goes skiing to school, because I did that too when I was little. And for some reason Norwegians forget how to drive on winter roads, even if they did it the year before as well, is completely hopeless. So many drive out, or they hit each other, and tragically, people can also die in these stupid accidents. The strange thing is that there is suddenly a crisis because it is snowing, it says in the newspapers, but come on, we had snow last year too, but that it comes a lot at once is not so typical in recent years, maybe that is why they call it " crisis"! Anyway, it's only winter in Norway!!
Love that the music is the Flåklypa Grand Prix theme... Who hasn't got a few copies of that over rhe decades? 😅
dra meg baklengs inn i fuglekassa or as we know it... TRÆK MIG NU BAGLÆNS IND I FUGLEKASSEN.. 😊
No wonder you like the music, the composer was a Dane, Bent Fabricius-Bjerre.
@@Muchoyo well im from england but i get your point. 😎
7:36 squeeze tube butter is actually very useful lol, for making pancakes and stuff
Grocery stores are open a week (on a sunday) before christmas eve. But they’re closed on the 25th and 27th of Dec.
Snow like that, is as fun as an eternal ball pit to jump and dive in, mega sand box with much more interesting building material than sand and self made toboggan fields everywhere!
As a Norwegian it is very funny to see how you react to normal things to us😂
I love this channel, because its so normal for me whatever video you show :)
It really sounds like America hates nature for their kids lol. And no we dont toast our bread in the store, it is because most of the breads are sold in loafs, so we can precut them in the machine before buying. And summertime is funny since you can meet everyone. Everyone is out, everyone is happy and social, very nice. And about the snow; oh yes. It's a reason as to why we have to stay somewhat fit and strong cause every winter, we gotta plow snow.
It's not that they hate nature, but that they live in fear. If an American slips on the ice and bumps their head, they can easily end up paying a hundred thousand NOKs. I would be afraid too. :)
You’re saying that like we don’t have dozens of national parks/nature reserves all across the country. There’s 3 in my state alone.
@@imanijames9115 Yeah Im not talking about national parks, Im talking qbout geography. Our country is 90% mountains.
3:38 Me and my family drives past this waterfall everytime we’re going to our ‘hytte’
1:01 The guy filming is smart, hiding in the slipstream of the kid, let him bear the brunt of it 😁
Skiing to school was normal in the old days :)
The first one was definitely not a blizzard, it’s a normal winter day and I have never experienced a snow day before, one time the snow went far up to my door so I had to take a ladder and climb up the window my brother held open for me💀
One of our cheapest beers here in Norway is called «Bare ØL» and one six pack of that beer would cost you about 15 USD.
YESS IM NORWEGIAN SO HAPPY TO SEE SOMEONE WATCH NORWEGIAN CONTENT
I was working on a filmset some years ago as a script and during one working day I had to fill in the weather report 5 different weathers! From warm sun to hail storm with hails as big as olives! This was up north of Norway. Lots of love from Eva, now living in Oslo.🥰
Your facial expression to butter in a tub was priceless🤣👌🏼 So shocked and then the disappointed look🤣
Those tiny snowplow machines are extremely common. I live in an arctic city in Norway and everyone in the neighbourhood has one. Not just because there's a lot of snow, but it saves so much time. No one wants to spend 1/3rd of their day shoveling snow.
There are no snow days in Finland, even if it has 1m of snow and -30 celsius
If you dont like the weather in Norway, come back in 30 minutes
The butter in the tube is for putting in a pan before cooking something or in baking! And the 'toaster' is a bread slicer LOL.
We have had this amount of snow for 4 months now.
Usually the snow don't settle to end of December as far south as I live (Innlandet) but this year it decided to stay from a few days before Halloween to March 1st so we got a lot of snow as it piled.
We have a 30 min walk to school/town center and we had temperature down to -18.4 F for a few days tho most days has been between 3.2F to -7.6F
If it's below 3.2 they are kept inside during recess or let out for 15 minutes tops.
That's also around that temperature where babies and toddlers can't nap outside in their pram/stroller
The butter is NOT in a tube. It’s a liquid maargarine that’s in a plastic bottle. You use it in frying your food.
I never knew americans thought norway was unique TvT Saying this as a norwegian myself, the 'large' amount of snow and the 'unique' landscapes are pretty normal!
8:33 that's not a toaster, that's a bread slice machine 😅
Haha that's not a toaster. It's a bread cutter, for cutting your loaf before you go home from the grocery store.
😂😂😂 soon you'll get it . Not only Norway , it's skandinavia with smal diferenses😂
The butter in a squees packard like that is melted or liquid so you can put it in the frying pan and fry, for example, pancakes, or other things.
OK OK OK I laughed so hard. When she said that was a toaster it’s not a toaster when you buy a bread you can slice it. It’s a slicer toes.😂😂😂
Those snow school days were the best. We would build up ski jumps and try to beat school records for jumping the longest. We used to pack/build the down stair stairs with snow so could build up speed before the ramp of the jump.
As a Norwegian myself, I can confirm that skipping school even if your whole house is covered in snow, is not an alternative. You have to go to work/school even if snow is the only thing you can see
15:28 The girl wrote the second half in Norwegian, probably because she swore twice in the small sentence.
"Ducking saving electricity hell/duck..."
I take it their school is probably not using the heaters, that, or she's just being funny, or she's a foreigner from a warmer country and not used to the Norwegian temperatures yet.
They tell schools to save energi and they do, if it gets to cold like +14° or 15° we Are sent Home
It is sooooooooo amazing to live and grow up in Norway 🇳🇴
Welcome to Norway. It is usually this much snow almost every winter. It begins at the end of november and usually lasts until the second half of march. I live in Norway and where I live the snow has still not disappeard completly.😂😂😂
when I was a kid, I use ski or a kickslede to school, everybody did that, :) And last winter there was an intervju with a norwegian couple on TV, they lived in New York, and it has been snowing much, so they was skiing to work, so funny, everybody stoped and gaced 🤣
Meanwhile also in Norway, this monday all school in a town and a county near me closed because they were expecting a rainstorm that wood flood th streets with water from the storm and melting snow.
The first clip. We don't get snowdays and Tyler this is a regular winter here in Norway. This year it was like 39-40 inches of snow. (Actually like 1 metre but I calculated it to feet.) Well it also depends where in Norway we are. Where I'm from it was like 39-40 inches. But more southern was more 78-118 inches this year.
You always hope summer comes on a weekend, so you don't miss it.
9:50 you should see the weather in ireland - for half an hour it will be sunny and mildly warm, then half an hour later its raining then sunny again, then lashing rain for 5 mins, then sunny again and finally starts raining before it gets dark
Haha im dying right now🤣 so we have alot of food in tubes and squeeze bottles like the butter because we hike alot and need good food containers that don't get broken in a heavy backpack. And the bottled butter is perfect to use if you are cooking something. Like maybe pancakes or meat. And no we don't have toasters in the store. It is a cutting machine to slice bread for on the go👌🏼
I remember skiing to school in the winter, there were prepped skitracks almost all the way to school, and it was just a couple of miles. if it was below -4f it was recommended not to ski to school.
17:24 yes, it's for the holidays. Because people are buying christmas gifts, one day to do so (saturday) is not enough (most people don't have time on the weekdays). So they have sundays open for an extra day to buy them. Also, in Norway before christmas (or actually whole december) there's soo many people EVERYWHERE around stores. At least where I live.
The store one really grinded my gears. So much stupid wrong things 😂
01:12 This is real, though a week or two ago was the first time I can remember ever having heard that schools got closed due to snow, I'm 32 and have lived here since I was 3 years old.
at least where i live, the snow day was not in all schools. only videregående schools closed for the day, while ungdomsskole and barneskole continued to be open.
(apologies for using the norwegian words i dont know the english equivalent)
When my dad was a kid snow days wasn't a thing either. If the roads were blocked, you were expected to row a boat to school.
Yeah, when the first snow comes you know you have some months of darkness ahead of you. Now, I start thinking of spring time again. I am so looking forward to feeling the sun again.
great video Tyler!
Not sure but this January is the coldest in 20(?) years i think. It’s been snowing a lot this year, T-Banes and Busses didn’t go at one point and people were told not to drive.
8:33 Thats not a toaster Thats a breadcutter 😅
here's a few thing i just want to say (as a norwegain)
the first video honestly just looks like a normal mid winter day here in norway
that is not a toaster, it is a bread cutter that pre slices your bread before you buy it
that butter in a tube is not the type to butter your bread with, its liquid butter that makes it easier to use butter in cooking and baking
It is a large traffic jam in the Citys now here in South and West Norway. The roads are frozen and the Buses have big trouble.
Many inacurate things here. The tube with butter, It is not butter, its margarine and oil, that makes it practical when you fry things, its a little less runny than regular vegetable oil. The cheese is like a creame cheese. The so called "toaster" is not a toaster, but an automatic bread slicer. You put the bread in, and it get sliced. . . It actually never snows in the summertime, no matter where you are in Norway. . it can be cold in the North but no snow in the summer. the avarage temp where I live (a litle bit south of Oslo) is 21 degerees C (70 Farenheit), in July. . . The place the snow came i the video you watched was nearby Oslo, and is garanteed not taken in the summer.
It was not supposed to be snow in the summer, it was a joke about how short summer is. And, yes, it do snow in summer in Norway, I have seen it snowing in June, July and August.
The first one is a normal day here
I can confirm. I'm a Norwegian gen x, and I have never experienced a snow day. It's not a thing
9:21 Hahaha it doesn't happen often but it did happen to me once 😂
I was out partying with my friends, enjoying the sun, drinking in the sun, having fun in the sun, I got quite drunk, fell asleep on the bus home, slept past my destination, woke up on the end stop and it was *SNOWING.*
I had to wait 15-20 minutes barely conscious (at the start) in a shorts and t-shirt while it was snowing outside.
We got that Viking blood running trough our veins
I am from Norway and the winter is terrible.😂
Stores opening for Christmas in December, wow that's amazing
As a Norwegian I can confirm skiing to school is hella fun!
The cheese in a tube is great. It’s basically cheese and tiny ham or bacon pieces.
i live in Norway and this year it has been wery much snow. actually it has been a litle to much, we haven seen som much snow in the past 5 years.
you have to find the film from Oslo-Gardermoen airport 😂😂😂
As a norwigian I really love being one
14:46 Yes, you got it right. We'll act like we're not very good to stay humble. If we do get compliments, we'll think of excuses for why we're good, like I often use "Oh, well, thanks, but that's just because I've been lucky having my American dad to talk to all the time, that's the only reason I'm so good." instead of going "Oh, thanks, yeah, I'm pretty damn good at English, aren't I? :D"
