Guess Which Norwegian Inventions You Have Tons Of At Home

[@melyc7089]

[@YOURWAY2NORWAY]

Haha, thanks a lot ;)

[@chelseagirl278]

I HATE that 📎 paperclip!!

[@plunderclat221]

I hear that the back was invented in Norway. They didn't feel it was suitable to have our head attached to our hips and felt that being taller would give the advantage during raids too. Alas everyone now has a back (and a torso) thanks to Norwegian inginuity

[@YOURWAY2NORWAY]

😆😆

[@plunderclat221]

Thanks to Norway for my back and ALL of the 'being tall' issues it bestows upon me. You gotta be positive. I don't want my head atached to my hips anyway. 🤷‍♂️

[@talltall5364]

I have tripp trapps for both my kids. They are so expensive (at least in the US.... I think at the time they were like $250-350 each) but they are hands down one of the best purchases we made for our kids. It really does grow with them and also allows them some independence since they can get up and down on them safely by themselves. The only problem we've had with them is that they've realized you can turn them around and use them as ladders to get treats off the kitchen counter lol!

[@mingolfssonjr3891]

I think every Norwegian child and children that used these chairs in other countries did it. I know that I did it, fell from the thing at the same time.

[@gerdbucsko3181]

I still have my grandmothers cheese slicer, and I am 79 years old .It was given to my mother when she got married, and given to me after my mother passed away. I also have brun ost shipped to me from Norway, yes, it is expensive, but I must have it on knekkebràd! Lol.Love you guys!!!!!

Totally agree! Ready sliced cheese from stores tend to be a bit dryer as well. Its more fresh to slice your own

A Norwegian did invent the paperclip, and patented it in the US because Norway didn't have a patent office.

[@YOURWAY2NORWAY]

Thanks for adding this info to the story!!!! Cheers from Ronald, Mads and Norway ;);)

[@Carlium]

Actually, it was patented in Germany, but it's a different type and was never produced, the other paperclip everyone uses is made by someone else. The only difference was the "lock" pin, the Norwegian one doesn't have the last turn on the clip.

Cheese plane has been in my home for years-outstanding invdntion! Paper clips for organizing, and spray cans on occasion (they're particularly useful for killing bugs on contact!). The chair idea is great, and I understand the need for artificial fertilizer (although we have plenty of the real thing, here), but your window designs are brilliant-better for keeping out the cold than many companies, here. Funny about Mads' mixer (it looks more Euro than U.S. Kitchen Aids) as I have the Swedish made mixer and couldn't live without it. Loved this video! Great job, guys!

Viking burial graves contained garment pins similar to todays paperclips and safety pins, along with combs and buttons, beads for jewelry, that could also be traded for currency --- though they also had coins as well, pieces of bracelets could be cut off and traded too. Thanks Ronald and Mads for sharing. The paperclip is my favorite as I found myself playing with them as a kid in so many ways, and have used them as an adult to clean, mend / fix various things around the house, and keep all my important papers sorted and organized.

[@needtoknow7374]

@@YOURWAY2NORWAY Way cool! One of my favorite movies to watch is "The Heroes of Telemark" (hope I spelled that right) and the documentary that was done where they interview the actual heroes who were involved in the mission. Do you and Ronald know if there is a Norwegian version? Our family has watched a couple of Norwegian made films, but they are hard for us to find here in the USA. My favorite movie is "Ben Hur". Thanks for sharing Ronald and Mads. Was just wondering when you two were going to release another video when this one popped up on our notifications. We watch it together as a family right after watching the "3 scariest things for Norwegians" We laughed all the way through and sympathized as we have scary spiders (brown recluse) and poisonous snakes (diamond back rattlers and corral snakes, etc.) No sharks as we have no nearby ocean, but cringe at the thought of encountering one. We so love your videos. Thanks again for your humor and sharing your insights with us.

The only one I knew about beforehand is the cheese slicer. I learned that it was a Norwegian invention because I saw the video clip with the inventor that Charles Kuralt did during the 1994 Lillehammer winter Olympics. I have one in my home. Couldn't live without it...at least, I wouldn't care to. :D I love the window concept, except that it does not appear to accommodate window screens. In the USA, window screens are paramount if we don't want to be overtaken by outdoor insects.. Haha - the paper clip is the Norwegian Swiss Army Knife. Such a versatile tool! Wait - spray cans? Then do you have spray cheese? Or is that an American invention?

[@tammyblack2747]

I just realized what I did wrong when I used a Norwegian style cheese slicer and almost cut off my pinky fingernail. If I had tried to slice off a thin slice instead of a thick one, the slicer would’ve cut easily through the cheese. But since I tried to cut a thick slice, it was hard to get the blade through the cheese, so I had to pull really hard, causing the slicer to slip and cut my finger. It literally nearly took off my entire finger nail. (If it had hit my finger at a different angle, it could have taken skin off underneath my nail too, or even a chunk of my fingertip.). I should’ve known Norwegians would not cut a thick slice of cheese and should’ve used the correct angle. But since I didn’t, the Norwegian cheese gods got me. I learned my lesson!
