Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)

She sent this box unopened (Heleen's style, I mean) to attract my attention to how many languages they use in the side-side. Why they use these and not those languages in the different countries remains a mystery for me. In this box bought in the Netherlands you can read all these words for portionsportionen, portions, porties, portioner, porsjoner, porzioni, μεριδεσ and puntjes.

See also the different faces of VQR: eye-opened, eye-closed, blinking...

Sent by Karin (Sweden)

I'm really happy to add a new country to the collection, and a new name: Den Skrattande Kon.

Sent by Heleen (the Netherlands)

I am really happy to add a new country (and a new name!) to the list. This VQR was sent from the Netherlands, but bought in Denmark. And eaten in...?

From Heleen (the Netherlands)

As the sender noticed, this box seems a dictionary, because it informs about the content in anything but eight languages: portions, porzioni, portioner, triangles, porties, porciones, porções and portionen!

And how people manage to find the perfect stamps? Look at these terrific (not laughing though) Dutch cows:
