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.

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.

Denmark

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)

I do not doubt she is a good (bonne) cow. But, alas: she does not laugh. She even does not smile like that beautiful cow...

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:
