If you walk through the city center of Bergen in Norway, chances are you’ll run into Maybritt, 32, and Kåre Morten, 43. They’re always around and they stand out because they’re ALWAYS in matching outfits. They collect bottles and have become the mascots of Bergen. I just walked up to them on the street one day and asked if they wanted to chat. Even though it was a boiling Thursday afternoon, both Kåre Morten and Maybritt had stayed true to their code and were both dressed in all black. Maybritt did most of the talking and started out by giving me a sheet of paper with the days of the week and their corresponding colors.
Vice: What’s up with the color coordination?
Maybritt:
How do you make a living?
Is there any rivalry among the bottle collectors?
