Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?

Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.

Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

You can post directly to the community or comment here and I can pass it on as well :)

Spenol. Best perfume free lotion in the world.

Fun fact: Today it's mostly used as regular skin lotion, but the original market was for use on cow's udders for the same reason you'd use them on hands.

Source: Grew up on a noggie dairy farm. We had a 4 liter jug at all times.

I've got to check this out, so many lotions have some perfume and it gets annoying.. Thanks for the tip! And a fun fact indeed lol!

I trust cows, if they didn't mind I wont either

Plus a clean cow smells magnificently without perfume anyway.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Agreed! Now I'm starting to miss living in an area where I might see cows sometimes.. Always make me happy.

We always have Pommes Krydder available. Not necessarily for fries. Often for potatoe wedges. We would always have my mother bring some from her holidays. Nowadays we order online from https://norwegianfoodstore.com/products/hoff-pommes-frites-spices-hoffs-pommes-frites-krydder-130-grams

I also love Flatbrød. Been a while since I had that.

Hey that's a cool store, thanks! And yeah could really use a new spice idea for oven potatoes..

If you want a wool sweater, you can't go wrong with Dale of Norway. And they are produced in Norway.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

These things are gorgeous, I've always wanted one

[–] bardm@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, I agree. So I bought one a couple of years ago. And sure they are expensive, but I rather pay for quality that lasts.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Was recently in Norway and saw many people with cool cozy patterns and wanted to buy a wool sweater, but I didn't have time to check brands. I think I might order one of those.

Thanks for the local tip!

I have some thermo wool mesh first layers from Brynje that I'm happy with. They produce in Poland.

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I'm planning to get some new winter clothes and that looks like quite a good website they have with proper info, would you say Brynje clothes feel durable?
