I'll start with the strangest. For some reason which evades me, these are very popular here in China. They also display a fascinating glimpse into European geography. Danish cookies plastered with the UK Union Flag and pictures of what they doubtless call Big Ben, something very few people have ever seen. It's the Elizabeth Tower.

The actual cookies (a term that further removes them from being British) are made in that famous Danish suburb, Malaysia and imported via Shanghai.
