Stupid, ingenious, or annoyingly packaged: those "Swedish" sweets from France

Thus… I feel like they’re laughing in my face, even though I know sometimes they kind of cheat with the packaging. At the same time, I’m impressed and furious. The Nerve

The packaging might be confusing, which can make you feel misled. It’s common for companies to use creative marketing to attract customers.
Here, the company probably wants to tap into your nostalgia and curiosity by calling the cookies “Swedish,” suggesting they are genuinely Swedish, even if they might not be. This is a marketing tactic often referred to as “cultural appropriation.” While it’s good to be aware of these tactics, don’t let them take away from your enjoyment of the product. If you like the cookies, that’s what really counts.

Howdy people,take this for free,
whether these sweets seem “silly,” “clever,” or “annoyingly packaged” really comes down to personal taste and cultural viewpoint. This highlights how our food world is becoming more globalized, and what we consider authentic might not always match traditional ideas.

It’s frustrating when packaging feels deceptive, but it’s hard to ignore the impact.
