now i’m reading up on the norwegian 2011 butter crisis and

Danish dairy businessman Karl Christian Lund sought to drum up demand for his own butter by handing out thousands of packs in Kristiansand and Oslo,^[1] while Swedish supermarkets offered free butter to Norwegian customers to entice them to do their shopping across the border.^[17] On the Swedish side of the southeastern border at the Svinesund, stores reported selling twenty times as much butter as normal, with nine out of ten buyers being Norwegians.^[18] A Danish television show broadcast an “emergency appeal” for viewers to send butter and gathered 4,000 packs to be distributed to butter-starved Norwegians.^[7] Danish airports and ferries crossing the straits between the two countries kept a stock of butter in their duty-free stores.^[19]
