Sweden’s Mistake At Marie’s Expense
Most of us have heard of ladyfinger cookies. They get their name because they are long and shaped like fingers (and “man fingers” just doesn’t have the same ring to it). We’re assuming that cookie type was the inspiration for the naming of this cookie by the brand McVites. In many countries, these particular cookies are called Marie Finger Cookies, which doesn’t sound inappropriate at all. In Sweden, though, they apparently go by a different name. It almost feels like a subliminal message. Poor Marie better not eat these with anyone she isn’t romantically interested in; who knows what will be on their minds.
