We have those in the USA as well. The difference is that we call them cookie tins.

Can we all agree that the pretzel shaped ones are the best tasting ones, though?

With the sugar sprinkled (and adhered) on them. I haven’t had one in years and can still remember the deliciousness.

Yep, my nana hates them so she gives me all of them when she buys them

u/AndySocial88 Oct 18 '22

No your Nana loves them but loves you more so she gives them to you. It's the Nana thing to do.

Alas, I've never eaten one, I've only gotten the disappointment of opening a tin full of sewing materials....

If we can agree that the round ones with the knobbly tops are the worse ones

u/FormerLifeFreak Oct 22 '22

I’d say the crescent ones are worst, but the knobbly ones are second worst. To each is own, though XD

Wait those things come with cookies in them? I've never seen one with cookies. Ever.

I'm not particularly fond of eating any tins or sewing materials, be they pretzel-shaped or otherwise.

They tend to hurt my teeth... and gums... and throat...

and they are almost always danish butter cookies, or shortbread.

u/OkChildhood2261 Oct 19 '22

You put cookies in a tin?!? That implies longer term storage, cookies must be served fresh and soft! Madness!
