80,000+ reviews, and not ONE reviewer here will admit the truth. So I'm just going to come out and say it. Because everyone is thinking it. And if you agree I'm right, I expect you to place your order as soon as you're done reading. So here's the truth.....
Yes, these cookies are TASTY. They are rich, sweet, crispy. You can practically smell them just looking at a picture of them. But that's not the only reason you're ordering them, is it? It's not the only reason why we ordered them. So what is it?
WE WANT THE TIN.
I don't care where in America you were raised, you grew up seeing that classic blue and gold Royal Dansk tin. Your grandma, aunt, or maybe your mom kept her sewing supplies in one. Your dad or your uncle kept spare screws, nails, washers or other stuff in one that didn't quite have a place in a toolbox. Maybe you remember one with spare change. Maybe a place to toss a wallet, keys when we get home. Or maybe it was filled with the "junk" and various items that didn't fit in that ONE DRAWER in the kitchen that was overflowing with random stuff that didn't quite have it's own spot. Batteries, scissors, thread, some tape, that remote control that goes to something you don't even remember anymore (bonus points if you remember the remote missing its back).
Don't even pretend you don't know about that "kitchen junk drawer."
So when you order some Royal Dansk cookies, of course you get to munch on some tasty treats. But we could buy cookies in a regular container with a wrapper. Yet we want these. Because we want that tin. That tin that will last for years and years. One that will remind of our youth, of our family. Of a tradition that so many of us kept, but none of us ever talked about out loud for some reason.
And you can have all that for less than five bucks.
Seriously. A 12-ounce tin of these classic cookies is less than five dollars. And here's the crazy part. When the holidays roll around, stores actually sell EMPTY decorative tins for you to gift your homemade cookies or sweets in for the same price. If not more. That's five or six bucks for an empty tin. When you could be getting this classic tin packed with tasty, buttery cookies that take you back in time with every bite. It's almost like a $5 purchase can bring back million-dollar memories.
So treat yourself. You've got five bucks. Why put it off, or make excuses? Add a 12 ounce tin of these cookies to your shopping cart. Then check out. Depending on where you live, you'll get it tomorrow, or quite possibly today. Won't even have to waste gas driving to the store. And when you finish off that last delicious cookie, put the tin to good use. Keep the tradition going, starting right now.
