Oh. My. God. My reaction just a moment ago opening our mailbox (the real one, not the email box) when getting home from the office.
This country is on a league of its own when it comes to spamming, or unsolicited mail. Besides email, also in the physical mailbox. We get on average maybe ten offers for credit cards each week ("you have been preapproved!"), and recently have started to get big loads of letters from various non-profits asking for money ("for only $100 we will send you this color photo of a hungry child in Africa" is from the most compelling end of the spectrum), but this was by far the biggest so far. I have been spammed with baby formula.
A neat, big box of Similac baby formula, courtesy of "The Welcome Addition Club". WTF? Who the heck are they, and why are they sending me formula? I did not ask for this. Please send your stuff to someone who actually needs it (the hungry child in Africa comes to mind).
Note of translation: baby formula = äidinmaidonvastike

Lovely to read your stories again, Ville!
P.S. I used to have a couple of cans of formula at hand before the baby was born. You newer know what happens and the milk is the only thing newborns can eat. Btw some call formula "daddy's milk"... Mom gets some sleep while dad can do the feeding. So waiting for a story about brest feeding ;-)
