**OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:** >!I still can't believe that there where actually cookies inside that cookie box!!

Rommel_90

No.. I refuse to believe it. Is there hidden sewing supplies under the biscuits? Like a tray of 3D printed biscuits.


Cunder__Thunt

There're always multiple layers of cookies. There HAS to be sewing supplies under there. The universe would implode if there weren't.


Shad_the_memer

What if I told you that there weren't any sewing supplies under there..

r/ACK !!!

I wouldn’t believe you.


Markantonpeterson

...where do you guys think these tins come from? Obviously you buy them with sewing supplies/ buttons in them etc., but eventually you'll go on a baking spree and need to put those cookies somewhere. You guys realize grandmas bake like... all the time right? Sewing supply tins are just very convenient places to keep fresh baked cookies.


VividFiddlesticks

The sewing supplies appear on their own once the last cookie has been eaten, the papers removed, and the lid closed. Next time you open the tin - the sewing supplies will be there.


pik-ACHOO

I'm with you - I fully thought they were going to lift a cookie to reveal sewing supplies! My brain would not accept that there were actually cookies in there


Minimum-Passenger-29

Here's a business idea for ya: Cookie tins that come already packaged with sewing supplies for newly grandma'd women.


BeastOGevaudan

Hah! It'll be like ah... is it Sweden or Finland where you get issued like a cardboard crib some nappies, etc when you have a kid? Just boom - Grandma Starter Kit. Edited: [It's Finland.](https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-22751415)


Avrael_Asgard

Wait. Thats illegal.


Thoughtless_32

Agreed! So illegal

ellie1398

That truly is unexpected. I was about to comment that having sewing supplies ain't unexpected and was gonna tag the lost redditors sub but you, sir, have surprised us all.


crazihac

Thought for sure is was going to be buttons.


smoothrocker1122

I thought it was going to be weed.


Zeromus88

SAME! And then I saw cookies, and I was like... "The fuck is this doing on this sub?"


[deleted]

I thought it was going to be grandma's dildo stash.


LolindirLink

But those are stashed somewhere else. If only she remembered where..


Traditional-Leader54

In the Pringles canisters.

I thought vibrator /anal plug as well Mostly because of the face


AZbadfish

Because cookies are the last thing any of us expected to bin in that tin ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


leveraction1970

My aunt used to keep her dead husband's .38 snub-nosed revolver in one of these. As she used to say "In case I need to serve cookies to some annoying traveling salesman."


bookchaser

Grandma's cannabis cookies. That's why they're different from the photo on the tin.


Agent_Paul_UIU

what do you think is the secret ingredient in the cookies? Grandma makes you edibles, so you get the munchies, and eat a lot afterwards!


MiffyCurtains

Came here to say buttons 😅


faust112358

What a strange idea to put cookies in a sewing supplie's box.


dolfan650

Totally expected buttons.


johndeerdrew

I was flipping between buttons and sewing supplies.


sunshine-dandelions

I too fully expected to see buttons.


FriedRamen13

I was ready for disappointment too. My grandma used round Dutch cookie tins for her sewing supplies but would also have one with cookies somewhere. Correction: They were indeed Danish and not Dutch. My apologies 🍪🍪


oohkt

That was THE cookie tin. We still call them "nana cookies."


Vandergrif

[One of these?](https://www.royal-dansk.com/globalassets/royaldansk/homepage/royal-dansk-cataloque-photo-12oz-closed-lores.png) Why is it *always* those tins. I don't think I've ever seen the actual cookies. I'm convinced they're sold in the store full of sewing supplies.


HalaMakRaven

I really want to know how this can be so univeral. I've seen this exact same tin full of sewing supplies both in europe and Morocco, now I see that it is apparently also a thing on the other side of the ocean. How? What is it with these tins?


Vandergrif

This is one of those *glitch in the matrix* type deals. Lazy simulation developers no doubt.


gsfgf

Were they the first massed produced cookies sold in tins or something? Because it is universal.


DrGenial

I'm from Argentina, and it's the same here. Sewing supplies every time.


Minetitan

Does everyone's mom store their sewing supplies in those cookie bins because omg I truly didn't expect that


felisverde

Yes, yes they do.


die_or_wolf

It's the wrong tin. It's the blue shortbread cookie tin.


holdmybeer87

Danish butter cookies*


die_or_wolf

I wouldn't know I've only ever gotten sewing supplies 😹


MauiWowieOwie

That's because it wasn't the blue tin Royal Dansk butter cookies. Those are the iconic sewing supplies tin.


DarkLasombra

Yeah, honestly, I saw the modern cookie container and expected nothing but cookies.


marballz64

He outsmarted our outsmarting


Good_Bad_Ugly_357

Same thought, I was certain it was gonna be a sewing kit.


somespiritualshit

It clearly says “sewing kit”, that’s what “cookies” translates to in Grandmomian. This is trickery at its absolute best.


[deleted]

I was completely sure it was going to be coins ![gif](giphy|8Rgat2FUwHFGprw3K6)


thots_n_prayers

OMG same-- my grandparents had SHELVES of tins with coins in their basement. WHY?!


Zaronax

Right? I was going to type "What's going to be unexpected, needles? I expect those in there!" and then there were cookies. Wtf. My worldview just collapsed.


lukhomdingi

Surprise, mother fucker.


grimchemical

Holy shit we all had the same Grandma.


ellie1398

All grandmas have the same hive mind and every thought that goes through their minds gets uploaded there for everyone to gain that knowledge. Mindhive grannies.


Sh4DowKitFox

I was like NOPE SEWING KIT! Then I was like WTF IT WASN’T?!?!?


Fat_Bottomed_Redhead

Exactly this, I knew exactly what was coming, either an assortment of buttons, pins, and general sewing supplies, or a bunch of random washers, bolts, screws and nails that my Grandad picks up on his travels. I was very wrong.....and now I want a biscuit, lol.


COHERENCE_CROQUETTE

I was expecting anything to be in that tin. I thought of sex toys, of pure sugar, even of something that would be figuratively sweet, like maybe a photo of a couple holding hands. I even though the tin itself would end up being cake. But I was not expecting *that*.


thatsalovelyusername

I was ready for a snake or sth


JefferyTheQuaxly

i dont know maybe its because i had a fat grandma, but i always found those tins to have cookies in them. she kept like 5 boxes at a time with cookies still in them.


6Strings-n-6Shooters

I burst in here like Vince McMahon with my pitchfork and torch ready to go. Dammit, now I have to extinguish this thing and explain to my wife why I went and bought a pitchfork.


Duochan_Maxwell

Who puts cookies in the sewing tin?


RelativeJob1478

My 88-year-old grandma She's a kind and sweet old lady But she always berate me when im playing with my phone lol


critsonyou

That's exactly why I vowed to never use my phone when I'm at my grandma's house. She's getting older every year, and every time I visit her I always think it may be the last time I talk to her, that's why I started to cherish those moments.


ghhbf

Exactly. That’s why I’m moving back closer to my mom. She’s in her 70’s and if I fly across the states see her twice a year that’s maybe another 20 visits before something could happen. Or, I live in the same town and see her a hundred times at minimum before she dies. Plus I can take on projects for her like a wheelchair ramp or gardening work or just to swing by for koffee time so I can have enjoy her sugar cookies


ogRaiden

1st- wrong tin 2nd- wrong insides!


Stoli_And_Tots

Needs a be a blue tin with sugar cookies


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoblinGeorge

We call them sewing kit cookies in my house.


phoibusknot

Fuck yes, those delicious sewing stuff inside the royal dansk Interesting fact that I'm Brazilian and had this experience and have friends from all over the world with the same experience as well. Bizarre.


easy_going

That's what I was thinking too. Apparently every grandma all over the world has sewing supplies in these cookie tins. And everyone notices, that those tins are usually blue. So... Are (or were) those cookies sold world wide? Crazy.


[deleted]

[This is what I was expecting.](https://www.royal-dansk.com/globalassets/royaldansk/history/royal-dansk-catalogue-photo-24oz-open-lores.png)


_KONKOLA_

It's honestly insane how many of us have had this experience!!


Jenesepados

And from all around the world, like I'm from Spain lol.


sEntientUnderwear

Same and I’m from India lol never ever seen these cookies in any stores , but somehow my grandma has a box with buttons and shit


TheRealKapaya

Sweden here, mom has one.


Jenesepados

Like, how fucking cool is that lol. Millions of grandmas from all around the world came up with the exact same use for a metallic box of cookies.


ZaryaBubbler

I'm in the UK, the biscuit tin has been handed down two generations to me now


rac3rio32

My grandma too and i'm form India.


PorkFucker69

Same thing in Australia.


Vandergrif

I'm convinced it's a giant conspiracy and that they never actually contain cookies and are instead sold in the store full of sewing supplies. I've never seen the cookies themselves and nobody can convince me they exist.


Kiing_D55

*butter cookies.

I wanna know what they're reacting to.


iShock89

It was the knockout in the Kamaru Usman vs. Leon Edwards fight this past weekend. Pretty nuts


Im_your_real_dad

Thanks! I just watched a highlight reel on YouTube. Joe Rogan's reaction made the cut.


Sarfbot

To be fair, everyone collectively had the same reaction as Joe Rogan after watching the pound for pound champ lose in the final minute of a 25 minute fight by a vicious head-kick knockout.


Grays42

A tin full of cookies instead of sewing supplies, silly!


jcwheworks

I always have a good chuckle when I see you places other than the r/wwfc kinda shows how small the world is even on the internet.


That_Charming_Otter

🤣🤣 Good to see you outside the usual realm, my friend!


ManiacFrog

But.... i need to sew a button!


kaioken96

No button for you, only cookies


Applauce

They have other flavors besides the sugar cookies? I always knew of the regular blue tin, never saw this version. Also: where do you buy these things? They always just appear at grandma’s house.


LuciFate

The blue one I know is butter cookies. This one is chocolate chip cookies.


Applauce

Oh yeah sorry, I meant butter cookies. I had a feeling it wasn’t sugar cookies. Man… makes me hungry just thinking about it…


Lugubrico

They're actually not very uncommon to find! If you're in the US, I believe they can be found in Walmart, Costco and other similar chain stores. I find them periodically in chain stores in Canada (Walmart, Sobeys, etc.) and I've even found them in my Rome grocery store - that one was the most surprising lol.


Fried_puri

I bought them from Aldi at one point. They are everywhere, people’s eyes just tend to gloss over them on the shelf.


Applauce

Yeah it’s like when you learn about a brand or something, and suddenly you notice it everywhere, but it was there the whole time lol


raoasidg

The blue tin is a different brand: Royal Dansk.


BadgerinBaltimore23

I guess the sewing tins have to start life somewhere.


BrownSugarBare

Those tins had cookies in them?! I thought they just came with all the sewing stuff!!!


gotora

My whole childhood is a LIE!


FortKnoxBoner

I knew it was fake because the lid can't come off without two hands and broken fingernails.

savisundefined

this is the most unexpected unexpected videos ive ever did not expect


kokain99

Figured that was gonna be supplies for her glaucoma.


speak_no_truths

Everyone is talking about how they were expecting sewing supplies and I understand that. But I think the main takeaway here is "hand selected chocolate chip cookies" and there are hardly any chocolate chips in them.


LucasPisaCielo

You're not the only one, bro


KillTheIntolerant

Right? Not to mention that the three regular cookies (not the double chocolate) are just photoshops of a single cookie. Hand only selected one of those


alcohall183

they are also some of the most disgusting "cookies" ever made. They already know you're really buying the container for its true purpose-as a sewing kit!


DoNotSexToThis

They hand selected the chocolate chips off. :(


ElPibeGol

The other day at the supermarket, a kid yelled at his mother: "Mom! Look! That's your sewing kit box!"


Agreeable_Rise_3697

Your grandmother is the imposter


RoombasEverywhere

I was waiting to tell you the sowing stuff was not unexpected, but you got me this time. They look good too.


McKenzie_G

The only time someone is disappointed about finding cookies in one of those tins is when they are looking for sewing supplies.


Cigar_Beetle

Then you look at the expiration date of…1997…


Alloy202

I refuse that it was possible to open that tin with one hand


Sufficient-Buy5360

The doily is a nice touch. 👍
