Scandia

What is truly Scandinavian? From the first comment: "Apparently squandering your cultural inheritance through self-deprecating self-flagellation." That, and self-righteousness, which is of course bottomless and ends up in commercials like the controversial one at the link.

There's Dala horsesLuciafest. Volvos and Saabs.  ABBA. Plattar pans.

And a bunch of science and engineering stuff.

What is truly Scandinavian? Lutefisk. Well, at least truly Norwegian and Minnesotan.
