Ikea was founded by a Swede, but their headquarters are in Humlabaek, Denmark (taxes I think)... does that still support Denmark, or does it support Sweden? (I am no economist, so have no idea how this works).

And hubby doesn't like Elephant, so we'll probably buy

Havarti cheese is excellent and most stores have it. I bought some earlier today. Let's create a new news event. Namely: "American Supermarkets Report Shortage of Danish Havarti Cheese"
I'll make a point of buying Danish beer.
I actually went into an IKEA store yesterday for the first time ever.
Quite a place.

I'll have danish with my coffee each morning from now on.
Wow...I need a cold drink right now.
Those shoes look good. I need some new golf shoes with "soft spikes" for tournament play. I will be sure to buy ECCO shoes.
