Cultural Talk In Denmark, if you are still single and unmarried at the age of 25...

I remember when I was in Denmark, a former colleague told me excitedly a few days before his 25th birthday that it would be a lot of fun on his birthday. I said why? He said that because his friends had prepared a lot of cinnamon powder to "bless" his birthday, he also smiled mysteriously at me. Below is a photo of this friend.

It turns out that in Denmark, if you are still single or unmarried at the age of 25, your relatives and friends will send you to your birthday party on your birthday. They are tied to a pole or chair on the street, and cinnamon powder is sprinkled or sprayed on you from head to toe in public. For more sophisticated players, egg sauce will be added to it. Therefore, if you are in Denmark and are still single at the age of 25, you'd better fall in love with cinnamon...

▲In Denmark, if you are not married at the age of 25, your friends will sprinkle you with cinnamon powder~

< p> On the street, if the occasional cinnamon powder remains, there is no doubt that someone has just celebrated their 25th birthday.

As shown below

?▲"The best tradition"

Of course there will be eye protection tools, so you don't have to worry about cinnamon or pepper getting into your eyes .

The place has settled down and many people have remained single throughout their lives. These unmarried men are called "Pebersvends, English Pepper Dudes" (Pepper Boys), and women are called "Peberm?, English Pepper Maiden" (Pepper Maiden). Therefore, when you are 30 years old, this kind of birthday "blessing" will be upgraded, and the cinnamon powder will become "pepper powder", which is painful just thinking about it...

?▲At the age of 30, it will be "upgraded" to Pepper

In fact, in Denmark, the average age of marriage for men is 34 years old, and for women, it is 32 years old. Therefore, this behavior is definitely not discriminatory against older unmarried men and women. It is more of an excuse to play pranks than a punishment. At the age of 25, you can also play some childish games with family and friends, which is also an alternative birthday blessing.

If you ask me if I like this tradition, I can accept it. I think traditions are meant to celebrate and enjoy a specific time or occasion.

However, I guess my friends will just zoom in and sprinkle some pepper, hahaha...
