The mystery of the Royal Dansk cookie box

When you find a legendary product in the supermarket!

If you grew up in the Middle East you were without a doubt confronted to these cookies, or shall I say, the lack thereof.

Let me explain. In many an Egyptian home, you will find a box of these cookies lying about.

When you open them, you will find anything you can imagine: knickknacks, sewing équipement, electricity bills everything except cookies.

I started to believe that these cookies were never sold in shops, ever, and that they just appeared ex nihilo in the Egyptian household . Imagine my surprise and obviously exaggerated excitement, seeing them in a store and discovering that they contained actual cookies. I wouldn't dare buy them though. I feel like it would break an enchantement. I am still waiting for a box of them to appear out of thin air in my house, filled with colored thread and spare buttons.
