i get that they’re not killing them and they end up fine, but imagine the trauma of you, a mammal, going through a long ass tube, not knowing what’s going to happen to you, and you can’t breathe. 🤷♀️

I guess I will not run out of kruidnoten for a while. As soon as Sinterklaas is back in Spain, shops try to get rid of their stash like there’s no tomorrow.
