The Norwegian version of WDC 165 also has Donald working in the margarine
factory (first published in Donald Duck & Co no 6, 1955).
Just like in Sweden, it has for a long time been considered a fact that
Donald works in the margarine factory (whenever he doesn't do something
else). So much so, that the expression "working in the margarine factory"
is sometimes used as a joke in real life. Most people will recognize the
phrase as originating from Donald.
