I was at a local amusement park, where I noticed at the entrance, they offered free sunscreen.

I'm trying to guess without using a translation app, but my brain keeps leaning towards either "free body butter", which makes a little sense and "free butter shop", which makes no sense.

    The Danish verb smøre is a general verb meaning 'to spread' or 'apply' a substance onto a surface. It is used for butter, sunscreen, cream, ointment, and similar substances. So its basically a wordplay, calling it a butter shop or butter stall

    One can pick what I suspect is cognates piecewise and arrive at something almost intelligeble and equally weird:

    at smøre = to smear en bod = a booth

    Smørebod ~> Smear booth
