what goes to Denmark? and it doesn't have to be food! :]

Sometimes Danish products become ambiguous in the country of origin due to their ubiquitousness ... I have no doubt you've already heard of Lego, Bang and Olufsen, Carlsberg, and Royal Copenhagen. These are all Danish ...

The Danish company M忙rsk is the largest sea transportation company in the world ... you can see their cargo containers everywhere in almost every country in the world.

A rather famous style of fashion is as "Danish Post-modern," and is classified by its polished, aesthetic look with high functionality. This style originated in Denmark in the 1920's and has not only continued since then, but has become a coveted furnishing style among the world's elite.

Even the English language is essentially a derivation of the Danish language. If you went back to the 900's in England you'd find what we call "Anglo-Saxon" to be virtually identical in structure and lexicon to old Danish. Knut the Great actually made most of England (and parts of Scotland) part of the Danish Kingdom for over 50 years. Of course, when William the Conquerer came over in 1066 English became a Norse/French amalgam (William himself being a Norman of Norwegian ancestry). Thus, one could argue the English language is itself modern-day linguistic cousin of Danish.

Lego was invented there....

Lars from Metallica

danish rolls

Denny's, danishes, and opium den's

Denmark exports Vikings, butter cookies, certain cheese varieties, and Mohammed cartoons. Despite the name, Great Danes come from Germany.

Denmark imports livestock, fuel (primarily oil), and medicinal grade marijuana.

The little mermaid, Hans Christian Anderson, Lego, Prince Hamlet, carlsberg, danish (cakes) and open sandwiches

Legos were invented here, Vikings come from Denmark, so does Prince Hamlet, most of the English language comes from the Danish language, Hans Christian Anderson, wind power, bacon, and lots of beer! (carlsberg, tuborg, albani, harboe, etc) .

Smoker Queen, boring city on weekends, beer, Christiania-as a an easy source of drugs, expensive clothing mostly from china in horrible condition but still expensive, grass everywhere, bad manners, sales people without knowledge of products they have for sale, smoking like choo choo wagons, crazy drivers, crazy people on their bikes doing what ever they please but if you hit them with your car because of THEIR own fault you will still pay for a crime even though it is not your fault -plus they don't even wear helmets-, use of cheap materials when building new buildings and selling each apartment for 10 times more a normal price should be, need to go on??
