Time for one of THOSE stories again.. We know how you love 'em! Every good dumb story needs a funny hook. Put 'Norway' and 'Butter Frenzy' together, and you're all set...
Yes, the streets of Oslo, Lillehammer, Trondheim and Fredrikstad are lined with Norwegians freaking out. Why? They have NO BUTTER. You heard right.. They have literally run out of butter! And this is no time for that, because Norwegian Christmas delicacies are chock full of the sweet, creamy, artery-clogging stuff... Yumpin' Yiminy !!! What's a country to do?
Norwegians generally don't have much to be excited about. We tried to look up famous Norwegians, and there aren't much. That's because most of them are Swedish, although Anni-Frid Lyngstad IS Norwegian. Aside from that, the poet Ibsen and a couple porn stars. That's it. Bjorn Borg? Swedish. Bjork? Icelandic. Lars Ulrich? Danish , via California...All they have is their cooking, so no butter means no food, and no food means no life...
Luckily, there is a little relief coming. Butter is being shipped from other countries (Denmark is reporting laughing their asses off at the Norwegians right now). It's going pretty fast, so those who still can't get butter are using oil, margarine and other butter substitutes. But anyone who cooks knows there is butter, or there isn't. Don't believe Fabio - we can tell it's not butter!
Yes, it's a classic economic case of supply and demand.... Our advice is to buy some butter, put it on eBay, and sell it to the highest bidder. It's gonna be a shitty Christmas in Porsgrunn....
