Dutch is so whimsical. I personally giggle at winkelwagen. Winkel = shop, wagen = cart.
Also, love that they say helaas pindakaas, meaning “that’s too bad”, but if literally translated means “unfortunately, peanut butter.”
Pindakaas literally translates to peanut cheese. IIRC someone trademark protected the word meaning peanut butter, thereby forcing everyone else to call it kaas (cheese) instead?!

That works doubly if you’re talking to someone with peanut allergy who’s asking what was in that cake while choking.
Uh oh, spaghettios
