    Alaska is only 55 miles away from Russia. FACT. Alaska is not safe as a US state. The European Union must immediately take over Alaska and turn it into the 28th EU member. THIS IS VITAL TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ALASKA AND THE WORLD. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

      Sweden will buy your state. We love you!

      You will be our, perhaps most CHERISHED 26th province.

      Governor Newsom can’t come though.

      Can’t they buy Florida or Texas instead? I feel like the US really needs California.

    When I was a kid in the nineties I visited Denmark and had their pastries. I don’t remember much from the time except that the pastries were so sickly sweet and had overpowering flavor of some nut extract (almond maybe). Never in my life was I so disgusted by pastries as in Denmark. So they can keep those to themselves. I’ll take the rest though

      Haha I love the (semi) random experience shares,I keep doing those on here to keep up some engagement and well add something semi relevant. Usually tangential to the main topic.

      Though by the description I’d love to try those pastries, never found anything too sweet. Near 50 now,I’ll assume it happens sometimes, once I thought I understood my mom saying it made her back teeth hurt which I’m pretty sure she meant it was too sweet but can’t recall it happening more than twice to me at most.

      Grew up north in Canada, hate the cold but everything else about similar Nordic countries seem to be pretty good. Well work from home these days…didn’t have that before.

      Whaaaa?! I’ve always found Danish pastries to be much less sweet than American, though the American take is cloyingly sweet. Almond flavor totally tracks, though. Many I’ve seen are almond flavored or at least include almonds.

    For the price of California (one dollar might be an agreeable option), I’m sure the people of the west coast would gladly throw in an Oregon & Washington for free!

    Everyone here going on about “take us too” and not one comment on how the Danes are going to logistically supply Danish Pastries to California without impacting their economy. Crips you’d have to float them through the Panama Canal. They’d be stale before they hit port. /s

      We have a Dantown already. We just need to expand their production capacity, also theres a company in Colton who produces these little calzone looking pies that are so fucking good and have been 99 cents for fucking decades.

          They aren’t really calzones just don’t know the name of them besides pies. You can usually find them at Staters around the Inland Empire, at the one I go to it’s in the back right corner on a little rotation rack.

          Edit: They tend to be in paper wrappers, with basic flavors like chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, cherry filled, think I’ve even seen orange ones on occasion.

          Edit2: the brand is called Mrs. Redds.
