I’M SORRY BUT THE NORWEGIAN BUTTER CRISIS OF 2011 JUST CONFUSES MY GODDAMN BRAIN BECAUSE HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK DOES AN ENTIRE COUNTRY RUN OUT OF BUTTER.

DID NORWAY JUST COME DOWNSTAIRS LIKE:

N:*Opens fridge* HELVETE

N:VI KJØRTE UT AV SMØREN

I was gonna explain how the butter crisis happened.
but then I noticed your fucking /hilarious/ attempt at writing “we’ve run out of butter”

I’m not sure if you know
but you just basically wrote:
“We drove out of the lubrication”

Please do explain the btter crisis

Basically in 2011 there was a lot of rain in Norway and somehow that meant that cows produced less milk then normal. Don’t ask me, I’m not an expert on cows.

Anyway, the price of milk exploded and no milk means no butter and because Norway is not a member of the EU and they’re very protective of their agrarian industry importing butter would have been expensive as well. So things got a little strange.

People started hoarding butter when they got hold of it. They learned how to make butter. Swedish supermarkets started offering butter for free to lure Norwegians across the border. One Norwegian newspaper offered half a kilo with every new subscription. Denmark started collecting and actually donated butter. (About 4000 packages.) I think this mess even made it onto to Colbert Report once.
