  1. På min barndoms cacaomælk var der et billede af en ko, hvor yveret havde fem patter: Til sødmælk, letmælk, skummetmælk, kærnemælk og cacaomælk. Sådan husker jeg det i hvert fald.

  2. Since 1985???? Last time i checked, the other Denmark was a tad bit older..

  3. I remember stumbling upon a Denmark Cheesecake store Osaka station last time I visited Japan.

    It had nothing to do with Denmark other than the flag being plastered everywhere.

  4. Oh that’s kinda like “danish feta”. Saw it quite often when I lived overseas, never figured out what it is

  5. What about Kelly from Denmark? The beer.. It was funny to see.

  6. You also have a beer that sayss it’s from Denmark but has no link to us. “Kelly” i believe it is called. I think it’s a sale tactic.

  7. Do people in general know where Denmark is? Is there any branding value in labeling it “Denmark”?

    I met a very nice Korean couple some weeks back while on vacation, and they didn’t seem to know much about Denmark.

  8. I’m in Seoul, where can I get it? Any other Danish/non-Danish or Swedish/non-Swedish delicates? 😀

  9. I lived in Seoul but I’m now in Denmark. Some random notes:

    – this brand has a few different things, and you can get the “Mint Cafe” as an Oxford Block set (local LEGO competitor/knock-off). I built this one awhile back as kind of an homage to my time in both countries. I got it on Coupang:

    – the Kelly lager I believe (as someone else said) is made from either imported hops or barley from Jutland.

    – if you’re in or go to Seoul, I’ve seen pop-ups for La Cabra and Coffee Collective randomly in Gangnam and Myeong-dong. I think Mit Bord still does stuff, but might be worth a look locally if you’re in the area:

    – at least as of February last year, there was still a Mikkeller bar near Garosu-gil, if you’re ever down that way it’s a few blocks east closer toward Cheongdam-dong

    – check out Edition Denmark if you’re missing home or like Danish stuff

    – apparently stuff like A.C. Perch is on Kurly now? I brought some tea sets over last time I visited and a few of my friends were like “oh yeah we can get this on Kurly” ㅋㅋ

  10. Makes sense, we have french bread not made by the french

  11. Yeah DK popularity and reputation makes it great for marketing. Actual products exported from Denmark is also Shure to enhance the danish flag or use of red and white colours sold in Asia.

  12. In Australia we have Copenhagen ice cream which is just a basic ice cream stand but double the price because of the labeling

  13. I saw many ads for danish beer that I had never heard about when I visited South Korea
