That's not the case in Norway. We hate them equally. I hate it with a passion. Wore my mask dilligently without a fuss. Still do when I am sick and need to go to a shop.

I find it especially infuriating when driving a car. It is so hard getting it to seal properly one handed now.

I'm guessing it was branded as fashionable and affordable at the same time at some point.

We have them in Norway as well. Never really thought about it..
