527 and 528: Eggmont, Margarine, milk and song

[Anders Christian Sivebaek]

Hi my friends!
(With some few extra ingredients to the subject we can start to bake a
cake!! :-)

I believe I wrote the other day of the factory Eggmont, that i saw in
an easter story. Looking for Barks stories in my foreign issues, I 
found it in a french Journal de Mickey. The code is D 95144 and 
the title means something like chase for the easter eggs. 
The factory is on page two, and I remember it being called Ægmont in
danish- which gives me a clue that the original said Eggmont. 
The french translator wrote Au bell oeuf (of good eggs) - 
but I will leave it to you french people there to explain the logic - 
remember my misinterpretations of the french version of the Coin... ?
wow...

Me, I remember this story. The guy had a brother
on the distant island Donald went to. And he was
just as tuff a boss. I will try to look up the 
story soon

The subject of margarine with different colors that swedes and Dan are 
wiriting about makes me think of something my grandma once told: 
That in the days were the product skimmed milk (low-fat or very
low-fat?) 
came out, it would also sometimes be blue or have a blue shade to it. 
This can be because of the same thing, that people should be able to 
differ from it and the original milk.

a danish singer, Otto Brandenburg. Any dane who can tell if this is
true or false, please tell - I only remember I heard it once.

it.

>And what is this? Are these lyrics available somewhere in the net?
I should be able to find them in one of the first swedish fanzines from
the donaldist club upthere.
