As an American I never realized how many things we use were invented by other countries. Today I am very interested in continuing to learn about Norway's greatest inventions that we use everyday. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
You can NOT cut cheese with a knife, thats just BARBARIC 😂😂
Yes, go to ikea and get one!
I AGREE
to eat cheese at all is barbaric as long it isent melted
I do. Bigger slices. Love my cheese.
uncivilized!
I never understood how the cheese slicer did not make it big outside Norway. It’s genius!
As a Norwegian, I can admit that cutting cheese with a knife is considered criminal, highly.
I'm a criminal then 😄
I absolutely agree with you 👌🏻
@@civroger As a fellow Norwegian, I would say that the exception (there is always one) is if you want cheese cubes, for instance for a salad or something.
@@theGreenChangeling
Stop it.
You're making me hungry now, and I need to lose weight 😄
@@civroger Chicken, cheese, throw in some veggies, fruits, salads or whatever healthy stuff you like and bam! healthy meal. Bon appétit.
While we might not technically have the death penalty in Norway, it's typically seen as cause for an exception whenever someone in our country is caught cutting cheese with a knife.
Drop it! Just drop it! Don't put ideas like that into Tyler's mind. He had troubles enough with understanding Norwegian humor as it is. He will believe you are speaking in honest.
Yeah, when I first learned that the cheese slicer was not common outside of Norway I was like "But how do they get their cheese slices then?" as if using a knife was some sort of extraterrestial activity.
But the thought of using a normal knife makes me feel pain
Like think of all the cuts you’ll get, all the uneven slices….
@@pemanilnoob Think of how thick pieces you get. I want cheese with my bread, not bread with my cheese 😂
Here in Sweden every household has a cheese slicer. Mine has three.
The Swedish "osthyvel" translated into English would be "cheeseplaner" (if that word can be used in English)
Ostehøvel in Norwegian, so yeah cheese plane it is.
The paper clip actually became a patriotic symbol during WW2, as people would clip them on their jacket lapels as a sign of unity, defiance and resistance. As soon as the Germans found out, it usually resulted in you being arrested or getting fined.
If there is an IKEA nearby, they might have it there. I want to see you try the cheese slicer.
There is a bit of a learning curve, but kids can learn to use it here, so after some practice, I'm sure you could do it.
Also, thinly sliced cheese like that has a different feel in the mouth; getting thinly sliced cheese is a lovely experience.
Prepackaged cheese could never stack up to it.
Regarding the chair, part of the idea is also that it works like stairs allowing a child to reach the seat and the table despite being small, once they're old enough to understand how.

A teacher once told me that a sure sign of spring was when you could no longer slice butter (dtored outdoors) with a cheese slicer.
The first aerosol spray can patent was granted in Oslo in 1927 to Erik Rotheim, a Norwegian chemical engineer, and a United States patent was granted for the invention in 1931. The patent rights were sold to a United States company for 100,000 Norwegian kroner.
The cheese is so much more tasty when you have a cheese slicer😋 I just don’t understand why it’s not more popular outside of Norway 🤔 I wouldn’t survive without it..
I do understand that you are trying to be funny. And in all honesty you are. But you do know that this is the kind of comments that goes right over Tyler's head? He will actually believe that you think you won't survive without the cheese slicer. He still lack so much knowledge about Norway that we need to be very careful to not use Irony, sarcasm and exaggeration, or he might actually take those as facts.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 yeah.. you are probably right about that 🤣 but sadly I don’t think he has ever taken the time to read the comments on this channel .. I think he would learn so much more if he’d just interacted a little bit with the people who are watching the videos
Tyler is surprised for the third time when he hears that Norway invented the paper clip. Will he be surprised the fourth time he hears about this invention? 😊
He wasn't first, so yeah I hope he's surprised the fourth time too. Because it's simply not true, just a myth.
John Vaaler was granted patents of an inferior version of the paper clip (as it lacked an additional turn of the wire) in 1901. A patent he pursued because the superior version invented in 1867 had yet to come to Norway. So no, the paper clip is an American invention, not a Norwegian one. You can read the full story on wikipedia.
I just love your videos👍☺️
I think the most common Norwegian invention is OOP, Object Oriented Programming. Every modern app is made with it, every database is filled with its objects. It is absolutely everywhere. Landmines however are only a few places, currently mostly in Ukraine. And with only military value mostly on the infantry level as modern tanks seems to overcome them.
From wikipedia:
"Norwegian Johan Vaaler (1866-1910) has erroneously been identified as the inventor of the paper clip. He was granted patents in Germany and in the United States (1901) for a paper clip of similar design, but less functional and practical, because it lacked the last turn of the wire. Vaaler probably did not know that a better product was already on the market, although not yet in Norway. His version was never manufactured and never marketed, because the superior Gem was already available.
Long after Vaaler's death his countrymen created a national myth based on the false assumption that the paper clip was invented by an unrecognized Norwegian genius. Norwegian dictionaries since the 1950s have mentioned Vaaler as the inventor of the paper clip, and that myth later found its way into international dictionaries and much of the international literature on paper clips."
Vaaler was close, but no cigar
Show me a Gem Limited manufactured paper clip, or photos or drawings thereof, made before Vaaler's patented ones, cause all the images and photos I can find of Gem paper clips are manufactured AFTER, often well after, Vaaler's patents, Germany 1899 and U.S. 1901. Therefore we don't know if the later versions of Gem Limited's paper clips was inspired (pirated) from Våler's patented two designs, or if the Gem design was the unchanged original. If the latter, how to explain Vaaler got his two designs patented in both Germany and the U.S? And why did not Gem Limited seek to protect their unique product by obtaining a patent? Unless, off course, they knew the latter would be futal because of the "similarities" with Vaaler's design? Therefore I am leaning more to the conclusion Gem Limited was producing paper clips already in the 1890s, but that Våler's design improved their product so much they decided to copy parts of his design without asking him.
@@Tvjunkieful12 idk I just provided context as to why this claim is disputed
media.snl.no/media/52498/standard_binders.png That is the Norwegian paperclip! @@Tvjunkieful12
@@AuroraNora3 I am not blaming you - only pointing out that I believe official patent documents, containing drawings of the two clips, over anecdotal claims on Wikipedia anyday. On probability I find it more likely Våler, who sought the patents, was the true inventor, but that Gem Limited produced a different paper clip, saw improvent potential for that after having seen Våler's patented one, and therefore incorporated much of Våler's design into their new clip design without first obtaining Våler's permission. Would explain why they never sought patent protection for the clip, wouldn't it?
The spray box was invented by the Norwegian Erik Rotheim in the 1920s. Rotheim sold the patent to Frode Mortensen in 1935. After Mortensen's company went bankrupt in 1939, researchers from the USA bought the patent for NOK 100,000 and developed it further with, among other things, a new nozzle and possibilities for mass production the box.(sourch: wikipedia)

US Navy test facilities and technical assistance were made available to facilitate development. It was the first NATO anti-shipping missile with an IR seeker instead of the commonly used active radar seeker. Both hardware and software have been updated since entering series production in 1972.

And there is more.
Google say:
In the 1920s, a Norwegian engineer discovered when he was going through the German patent archive and it is this that has led to a misunderstanding where many believe that the paper clip was a Norwegian invention. Actually, it was the British company Gem Limited that invented the paper clip we use today.
The only time I cut the cheese with a knife is when I want cubes of chesse for a dish. It depends on the cheese slicer. Some are just terrible and needs a specific pressure, but a good one is everyone able to use.
Agree, cheese cut with a knife is not good, but I don´t have a cheese slicer, I use a cucumber slicer and it works
Fun fact, Hand grenade was also invented by Norway, a guy "Nils Waltersen Aasen" in 1906
I had no idea about the spray can 🤩
You should also check out the Woodsmith mine in the UK, that has discovered the largest amount of natural fertiliser, called “Polyhalite”, from the Parmain era,
The Permian era is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period 298.9 million years ago
The Woodsmith mine will be an underground mining system near Whitby in Yorkshire, England, it is classed as an Area Of Natural Beauty,
An underground conveyor belt will transport the Polyhalite to the nearby major port, around 24 miles away, in Middlesbrough for shipment to other countries,
🇬🇧😎👍🏼
Knife for cutting cheese are crazy. And Norway actually didn’t invent the paper clip. Just saying. And we invented the aerosol.
Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
We invented the non practical prototype ;)
@@mari97216 yes probably, but we didn’t invite it 😉 We did invent a lot of awesome things though. And to be honest, the American don’t know shit outside of the states. Just the way it is… Just like traveling/geography, the American don’t know shit outside of the US. They go on holiday (in the US), just funny to me 😂
The spray can the revolving window and the paper clips are the best 3 invention from Norway without a shadow of doubt.
The Norwegian paperclip does not work and was a total fiasco,. Never produced.
The spray cans most likely also led to the spay bottles you'd use for cleaning I guess.
Rivalry between the UK and norway about who invented the paperclip, similar to the rivalry between australia and new zealand about who invented the pavlova
A more direct translation would be a cheeseplane, named after that it works on the same principle as a woodplane tool. 🙂
We Norwegians also invented the grenade and the land mine.
We use cheese planes in Minnesota.
A Norwegian invention most people are not aware of. Salmon sushi.
The cheese slicer was invented by a carpenter. - he got the idea when he was using a planer.
we use it in Sweden too
When was aerosol invented?
On November 23, 1927, Norwegian engineer Erik Rotheim (also spelled Eric Rotheim) patented the first aerosol can and valve that could hold and dispense products and propellant systems.15. feb. 2019
That cheese would not even last for two weeks.
When it comes to inventions like paperclips, my guess is that these kinds of inventions can be independently invented by people everywhere.
The paper clip was indeed made and patented by a Norwegian. The UK guy made a paper fastner that looked nothing like a paper clip! The cheese cutter creates a really good balance. Two slizes of cheese on a slize of bread with butter, with some cucumber. Heaven!
Sorry, but the Vaaler paper clip never worked. Never produced.
I didnt consider that anyone would actually cut a piece of gouda with a knife.. the thought never occurred to me before now
Its the same in al Nordic countries, we have cheese on sandwich
I think that’s universal. 😭
It's an oversized potato peeler that cuts cheese.
This might come accross as mean, but it is not meant as such. BUT the way the Norwegian speaks English in this video (Im a Norwegian myself)... You can hear it is such a Peter Solberg way of speaking English. At least for me it is such a funny way that he speaks English and a it gives me the cringe a little bit at least.
Johan Vaaler invented the paper clips.
Yes, but a totally useless one. Never produced.
Johan Vaaler invented the paper clip. Got a German patent for it around 1900. I think, and then a American patent in 1901. Most Norwegians call them "binders", as they bind papers together. It was even used as a "secret" symbol of binding Norwegians together during the German occupation 1940-1945. Typically wearing one on your jacket. It was actually forbidden by the Norwegian Nazi government and the German occupants. A Public warning that anyone using a paperclip as a symbol of resistance would be arrested and punished was announced in the newspapers.
The only time you would cut the cheese with a knife is becuz your trying to fit it into a tiny shreader
erik rotheim invented the spray can in 1926
I am that one Norwegian using a knife cutting cheese. Bigger slices. I love cheese.
If that wasn't enough to hate me, I also like pineapple on pizza 😁
Why hate you. If you love cheese, eat as much of it as you want. And pineapples are marvelous on pizza. I never have understood why people are against Pineapples on Pizza. Anchovies on the other hand, I never have tried. And I doubt I ever will, as I have heard of no pizzeria in Norway using it as a topping.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684
Of course people don't hate eachother for what they like to eat 😄
It was a joke because people often do argue about it.
I know, hehe. @@civroger
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684
😃
Yes please not vandalize the cheese by using a knife when having a slice of cheese 😉
Siri that’s on all iPhones is a Norwegian invention. Two other things that I’m not so comfortable with or actually hate that are Norwegian invention’s is the land mine and the “modern” hand grenade, unfortunately.
You need to order a cheese slicer, it makes your life so much esier.
According to the A-Z of English inventions and discoveries, the Paper Clip is not mentioned,
🇬🇧😉👉🏼 🇳🇴😁👍🏼
Yahooo! 😊😊😊
Norway did not invent the paperclip first. Not UK either. It's american, in 1897. The norwegian one was different and didn't get patented until 1899

@jillhelle2051

- In the broadest of terms, it was 'Samuel B. Fay' with his patent dating back to 1867 that could claim to be the first ever patented 'Paper Clip'.
Although strictly speaking, originally never labeled nor intended as such, but yet noted to have this ability.

I'm Norwegian and it turns out snl (Store Norske Leksikon) says the paperclip from the Norwegian inventor was never mass produced. I'm gutted :(
It was next to useless.
During WW2, in Norway, some use to wear the paperclip as a sign of resistance, and would get arrested by the nazi for it!!! (BECAUSE THE PAPERCLIP WAS NORWEGIAN!!!)
eurrrreka! :)
The GSM telefon system was inventet in Trondheim, Norway in the 90s.
Noop. The GSM system was invented as a joint venture of most of the national telephone authorities all over Europe. It is true that SINTEF, Norway, suggested using the well known Viterbi coding for the radio modulation.
😲😄 a year there dont eat much cheese then that would ladt me 4 days
Today I learned cheese slicers aren't popular in america? Why would they not be has me shocked
Norwegians eat a lot of bread. Most countries don't do that.
A cheese slicer makes little to no sense in America. Americans eat grilled cheese and they put cheese on burgers and stuff. But cheese on bread is very European.
And also, the cheese slicer is such a hassle. Lots of work for a tiny slice of cheese.
Why is no one talking about Norway inventing the key card. Let’s have something worth while at least.
But you do not see many of those any longer.
I’m from the UK and just found out that Tyler is cheating on us with Norway, Japan and Canada!! I feel so used and dirty 😭😭 I thought we were special
If you cut cheese the police will find you and u will be sent to america😂
Norwegian paperclip was not That clip.

The paperclip is supposedly invented by an American called Samuel B. Fay in 1867
A Norwegian inventor named Johan Vaaler invented a paper clip and patented it in Germany in 1899 and USA in 1901. It was much less practical than Samuel's paperclip with less bends. A lot of Norwegians like to believe that he's paperclip was the one, but even our lexicon disagrees with that rumor. Thank you for telling about Samuel B. Fay!
A Norwegian invented the jet engine🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴
The paperclip is not a Norwegian invention
Johan Våler invented the paper clip. Norway had no patent laws at the time, so it was first patented in Germany 1899, and then in the U.S. 1901. Erik Rotheim, a Norwegian chemical engineer invented the first aerosoil spray can in 1927, and sold it to an American company for 100 000 Norwegian kroner (a fairly grand sum at the time) in 1931.
You should check out the Norwegian car Troll, first in the world made light and aerodynamic. Too ahead of it's time. And seized production after only 6 cars. Think, the tiny electric two-seater car, were also a little ahead of it's time, but worse - a little behind on range, speed and not the least cool design. Still, the company was bought by Ford - who closed it down a few years later.
The paper clip is not Norwegian, this is a myth.
The first aerosol or "sprayboks" was patented by Rotheim first, but it has been much developed since his versions.
@@ToreDahl Vaaler gained patent rights in two countries, would he have done that if there had been a similar patent or established product already? I trust paper over Wikipedia any day. The drawings of Våler's patented clips are there for all to see. Våler also had two designs patented. A triangle and more traditional. Non of them are identical to those produced today. But that is perfectly natural since it was a patented design others couldn't just copy. All the drawings and pictures, mostly from illustrations on Gem boxes, I have succeeded tracking down of the Gem clip, claimed to have been the original paper clip, are made after Vaaler's patented ones. Therefore we can't say for sure whether Gem Limited improved their original design inspired by Vaaler's design, or if the design was the same even before Vaaler patented his design. I suspect it was inspired by Våler's design, and that is why Gem Limited never seeked to patent their design. It was a pirated product, so they feared they would be denied patent if they tried. It is highly unusual for a company that produces and sell a unique product not to secure themselves the exclusive right to do so, or license production to others, by getting their product and design patented.
In regard to Erik Rotheim's aerosol spray can, it was the principle of using gas and pressure to store and distribute chemicals that was the invention, and which got patented. The other cans are inspired and have expanded from that idea. Just as Thomas Alva Edison's light bulb has been further developed and improved over the many years since, or Henry Ford's conveyer belt was very different to the ones producing model T's, compared to the ones used to manufacture today's Fords and other car brands, they still have emerged from Ford's original conveyor belt idea. It is the same with Rotheim's spray can.
Rotheim deserves credit, but Vaaler does not as much. There was already an earlier design, the Gem paperclip, which was around years before his, and his design is not what's in use today anyway. So maybe the Gem wasn't patented in Germany, but it existed.The norwegian state funded ecyclopedia acknowledges this also.
@@ToreDahl I know about the Gem paper clip. My point is, was the design of that changed after Våler had patented his two design, and so inspired by Våler's design that was why they didn't seek to patent their clip, cause they knew it was too similar to Våler's, and in fact Gem pirated Våler's design? I suspect so, cause it is most unusual - even back then - for manufacturers to not secure patent protection for their unique designs and products. So maybe you should give Våler a lot more credit than you do? I certainly will.
Well, yes you can get patents in one country if it exists in others. It costs money to buy patents, so not every inventor can patent in every country.
And this is really quite simple: Vaalers designs is not the one in use today, and there are several other designs that predates his. Of course he didn't invent it then.
as a norwegian, i have a confession.
Even though we use those cheese slicers (ostehøvel) it doesn’t last a year, we’re talking about a few weeks here. NOT A YEAR? 😭
Hvor har du køpt oste høvlen din,har hatt min i over 10 år 👍🏻🫡🇳🇴

Then you have a Ikea one 😂😂😂😂mine has been here in generations
@@fjellrosastrikkepodcast 😨😨
@@Prinsesse. 😂😂😂🥳🥳🙏🙏🙏
The reason only Norwegians use the cheese slicer, "Oste høvel" /"Cheese plane" is that it only works on pieces of wood and extremely low fat cheeses like the Norwegian cheeses. Normal people in civilised nations use knife or a string slicer that works on REAL GOOD and fat cheese. 😊
Well of course we also use a knife on fat cheeses, like brie and camembert.

Omg, that bad English 😅
I know right.. Petter Solberg. Jens Stoltenberg.. and the guy in this case...So embarrasing considering how fluent most Norwegians are (A tiny accent sure, but why these extreme old school accents.. PLEASE) It doesn't justify the majority and such give a bad impression
He's faking it 😅 but the other norwegians mentioned does not, so yes, that is embarrasing 🤣
No one beats the guy in Ice Road Rescue tho 😅

Yes he is 😊 is he your man
Last for a year?!!! this is so misinformative that it is sickening. This is the problem with that guy, he mixes true information with Irony, Sarcasm and native humor. People like Tyler does not understand this, and thinks it all is factual. You have to know Norway for real to understand.
Not everytfhing was invented in America, Tyler, lol he thinks it's was.
Tell your brother to pick up the knitted set I made for his son.

As a Norwegian, I can say that Norway does not really have any inventions 😭😭
We invented the key card, I would say that’s something people use in their daily life.
We have a lot, what are you talking about? From whaling cannons to spray cans to fertilizer to the more obscure ones like hydro electric turbines, oil drilling inventions, skiing and ski bindings (Rottefella) and even coil gun.

MRI vs. cheese slicer
Hmmmm
The 'Norwegian' cheese slicer is only effective for slicing soft brown cheese and semi-hard cheeses similar to Jarlsberg. A knife or chisel is better for very soft and hard cheeses. The paperclip was patented in the US long before any Norwegian claim. A patent for an aerosol spray can was granted in Olso, but the inventor sold it to an American company who developed it further. It wasn't until much later that it became useful for bug spray then gradually other uses over time. However, it wasn't the first aerosol spray invention, they go back at least 100 years before the patent was granted in Norway. Overall, it's safe to safe Norway invented more BS per capita than many other nations.
