"Offering this should be as normal as offering a napkin.”

selling the 30ml bottles at the cost price of €2.99.

Hm.

This bit is good though

Local authorities, sports clubs and schools have also been installing sun cream dispensers in public locations such as beaches and parks to encourage wider use.

It is also blatantly ignoring how incredibly expensive sunscreen is in the Netherlands. If it isn’t on sale anywhere, a typical price would be 25€ for a small bottle, the same would be around 10 euro in the German supermarket. While yes, it is on sale often for 2 for the price of one, it still comes out more expensive then in most neighbouring countries.

Wait, they’re telling people to drink sunscreen? Genius move. They’ll die from poisoning instead of cancer
