Burning Hot

If you buy matches in Denmark you will most likely be buying Tordenskjold matches, named after the much beloved Norwegian naval hero Peter Tordenskjold (Peter Thundershield) who helped us fight the Swedes during the years when Norway was part of Denmark.
We built statues of him, sang songs about him, mentioned him in other heros' songs, and well, named matches after him and put his picture on the box, so no Danish child has never heard his name.

Denmark truly had a boner for him.

Name Calling

So, Ikea naming doormats and other floor things after Danish places is indeed a thing that happened. The Danes complained it meant Swedes wanted to walk all over Danes, but the Swedes brushed it off saying it meant Swedes considered the Danes robust and someone to count on.

One day the Swedes and Danes will stop acting like children, but today is not that day. XD

Sacrilege

Two things that will probably need explaining.

One: England is quoting the British syfy comedy "The World's End".

Two: Lego is a Danish invention, and the original Legoland is in Denmark.

So, to a Danish ear it sounds like they're saying the horrible aliens are from Denmark.
The movie was pulled from Danish theaters for unknown reasons, but it makes you wonder if the Danes were a tiny bit offended... ;)

The Fox

From this Norwegian song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE

When I first heard the song I thought the video would be more 1990's boyband styled with lots of tops being taken off. Non of that in the video, but it didn't disappoint.

Many Sweets of course suggested various real classic music, but nobody else seemed to know what they were talking about.

Rock that Dress

They do. They really do. No one is impressed if you can find a photo of your favourite British actor in drag. No one.
