Cool to see my hometown ('s-Hertogenbosch) appear on the front page of HN. I use this intersection almost every week: AMA ;)

How far is it from the intersection to the nearest place you can get a Bosche Bol? :)

Most people get their Bossche Bol at Jan de Groot, which is like a 15 minute walk or 5 minutes by bike from the intersection. Beware that there always is a big queue at Jan de Groot because it's very popular. You can also go to a Jumbo supermarket in 's-Hertogenbosch or Rosmalen as they usually sell the exact same Bossche Bol from this bakery.

How funny it is to hear foreigners try to pronounce it?

Not as funny as you would think :) They usually pronounce it pretty well: shertokenboss
