I really thought this was a universal thing but no apperantly only we use it

We use this in morocco (and other north african countries) too, but the fabric is more coarse so you can really scrub your skin.

great video, very funny

As a dutch person i laughed so hard

Chocolade letter was geweldig idee (zou echt iets nederlands zijn dan ^^) En de opmerking: "Who knows what they do!" (2:11) xD

This one was very funny. 😄

dit is zo grappig om te zien : )

You find them in France as well.

Seriously? We're the only country in the world that: - knows what a flessenlikker is - knows what a roe is - knows what gourmetten is - likes raw herring - likes salty liquorice (If you don't like it, your taste buds are just underdeveloped) - knows about koekhappen - knows how to make a Frikandel Speciaal - knows what spijkerpoepen is - eats hagelslag on bread And now you're telling me that we're the only country in the world that uses this type of washcloths? Man...

Nee hoor, althans niet voor de zoute drop ( alhoewel ik waarschijnlijk de enige vlaming ben die ze lekker vindt), de roe, het gourmetten, de maatjes, de frikandel speciaal (alleen noemen wij die curryworst speciaal) en de hagelslag. Maar wat is in godsnaam een flessenlikker en spijkerpoepen??

@@barbaraleenen4157 Spijkerpoepen is naast koekhappen één van de oudste Nederlandse spellen die er bestaan, en wordt gespeeld met een stuk touw, een spijker en een glazen fles. De spijker wordt aan het touw vastgebonden, waarna het touw aan de broek van de speler wordt vastgemaakt. Het doel van het spel is de spijker in de fles te krijgen, zonder gebruik te maken van iets anders dan heup-, middel- en bovenbeenbewegingen. En een flessenlikker is een langwerpig stuk keukengerei waarmee je de laatste resten van een dikke vloeistof, zoals yoghurt, vla of Heinz Tomatenketchup uit een fles kunt krijgen. De halfronde kant is bedoeld voor ronde flessen en de platte kant voor kartonnen pakken. Dit kanaal heeft ook al een video gemaakt over de flessenlikker. Ze verzinnen de meest gestoorde dingen, maar waar die daadwerkelijk voor bedoeld is, kunnen ze niet op komen.

Now i know why i was raised how i was after watching these.. i was told its just the way we are.. the no bday party i never understood till watching these videos.. thanks for sharing..

Eline heeft echt een hele goede uitspraak. Complimenten!

Why? Because it's very soapy and stays soapy a long time when u shower.. And u don't need as mutch soap then with the hands, just a little drop is enough. Try it😉✌️

If you make your “washandje” soapy and then blow in it, you can make bubbles 😀

In France we do have it too and there always sold with your towels so they are alike and we call it “Un gant de toilette”

Geweldig

We also use it in Belgium Personally I use it at the sink for washing some parts really quickly without having to get in the shower (like my armpits for example, just wash em quickly without getting everything wet) In the shower I usually just use my hands unless I am dirty from working, in which case it will help scrub the dirt off (works better than just your hands with soap) Honestly you can go days without showering if u use this correctly

These guys actually just gave us some smart ideas how else to use it!!!! 👍✅ I might keep apart a pair for pot holding 😎 haha but for real - why not use your hands for washing??!;

Kind of along the same why people will use a loofa. Get it all sudsy and give yourself a good scrubbing. Feels great!

Dit is geweldig hahaha

Het is hilarisch om hier naar te kijken als je weet wat het is en Nederlands bent

How do they wash them self, with their hands?

Belg hier. Washandjes zijn heel gewoon bij ons. Ik werk als verpleegkundige en als ik buitenlandse series of films zie waarin ze iemand een bedbad geven met zo een doekje.... zo onhandig!

I'm from germany and tbh, I never expected them to be so clueless about about such a easy thing 😂
