Do you think it is funny that Marie biscuits are called the same all over the World? Do you think it is funny that Marie biscuits are called Marie biscuits all over the World?

We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden. We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them. Some of the things from our travel bucket list we have ticked off since we started this blog in 2006 are Angel Falls in Ven... full info

Danish Marie. "Danish" is in this case a brand name. As far as we know it has nothing to do with Denmark

The manufacturer of these biscuits is called "Olympic". Most likely there is no connection to the IOC

enlightening
Who travels the world to compare marie biscuits? but i found this very enlightening. Ive always thought that Marie was a brand and that it's only found here in the Philippines. I believe ours is the most simply wrapped compared to your pictures. Its very third world.

mmm, biscuits!
Marie biscuits are most definitely found in the majority of countries. There is nothing quite like a Marie biscuit dunked in a cup of hot coffee and gobbled quickly to stop the disintegration of the biscuit! In the UK we have a similar biscuit (in consistency and taste) to Marie called Morning Coffee...maybe you could do a comparison?

Marie kex in the USA
Marie Kex are available in many places in the USA, manufactured by Goya Foods based in Secaucus, New Jersey. Goya offers Spanish, Hispanic, and Mexican speciality products so the Marie Kex are found among beans, vegetables and spices in the ethic food sections - not among the cookies - in the large chain grocery stores that carry the Goya line.
