It's a good gift. Lars Løkke is still one of the most corrupt politicians in the world and he's not even good at it.

dean-smile Hey guys, look at this cool toy the Dutch guy got us! It's so cute! let's build it!

the-republican 1. I'm from Denmark. It's a completely different country. 2. It's not a toy, it's an advanced model building kit designed by an elite team of fungineers to offer the user a high-quality construction experience. 3. Please do not call it cute.

Other Danish products you may know include Ozempic, Carlsberg beer, B&O and Arla dairy products.

Other products you may think are Danish but are not may include "Royal Dansk" Danish butter cookies (Italian), Danishes (Too broad a category to be assigned ownership) and Häagen-Dazs

"Royal Dansk" Danish butter cookies (Italian)

Context (from Wikipedia): The company used to be danish, but was bought out by an Italian company. The cookies are Danish, just not the company (anymore)

How many Egyptian artifacts are in Danish museums?

One day, I hope the British cultural artifacts end up in an Egyptian museum.

Like Doctor Who missing episodes and the testicals of various royals.
