Ah very observant! Well that is me and the orange guy in the picture is a beesie (pronounced like bay-zee because it is a Dutch word). Every time there is a football tournament in the summer, like the World Cup, this supermarket in the Netherlands gives these little guys away when you buy something there.
All the football fans in the Netherlands get them (and they come in four colours – orange, blue, white and red – do you know why these colours?) and of course as everyone there is football crazy there are beesies EVERYWHERE! I was there last summer for a meeting just outside Amsterdam and it was during the World Cup so I rushed to the shop to get one and that little guy came home with me!
Just so you know the Dutch really love these beesies and some have even made funny videos on youtube of beesies reading the news like this one
(they speak Dutch in the video but it’s still funny to watch even if you don’t understand!) 🙂

I’m glad someone asked about the thing in Evan’s picture, I had been wondering, and now I know 🙂
