Baking? Yes, please! However, we crave the creamy batter even more than the finished cake. Thanks to Ben & Jerry’s, we can now snack on frozen cookie dough chunks from the cup: “Snackable Dough Chunks” are available as a vegan caramel variant or in the classic chocolate chip version. The only disadvantage is that the sweet treats come in a bulging 170 gram bag. So there is no question of stopping… Ben & Jerry’s, “Snackable Dough Chunks”, 170 g, approx. 8.-

Straight from the plane to the beach bar. Then the shock: nine euros for an Aperol Spritz? According to Travelcircus, this can happen to us in the Netherlands, but it’s even worse in Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg and Finland, where the orange fun can cost us up to ten euros. The best way to get a cup for a small price is in Slovenia and Slovakia, where we not only get a glass for five euros, but also a few cents back.
