Another cultural misunderstanding happened with these fun little creatures. About 2 weeks ago, I was at this AH store. Before checking out, I put two Wuppies onto the conveyer to buy for the boys. The cashier gave me a funny look, but I didn't really think further about it. Later that week during a world cup game, I watched the Albert Heijn TV commercial carefully. It's a great commercial with people wearing Wuppies as hats and dogs with Wuppie vests. The song was stuck in my head for a week. http://www.ah.nl/wup/article.jsp - this video captures the Holland spirit for world cup and their Oranje - just watch it. Pretty funny! Apparently, the cashier gives you a wuppie free with your receipt when you spend 15+ euros there. Whoops - I only spent 10. No wonder she looked at me funny!
