One of the few Norwegian products with prominent viking branding. Dr. Olav Johan Sopp from Norway discovered how to make unsweetened condensed milk in 1888, a major accomplishment at the time. So why doesn't the English Wikipedia article on condensed milk mention him? English Wikipedia often leaves out the accomplishments of small countries. The funny thing is that the article doesn't even mention unsweetened condensed milk at all. Doesn't it exist in English-speaking countries?

Hi. Naw, it doesn't. At least, not in this region. I'm glad, too, because Nestle, a corporate shareholder conglomerate, owns such a product as well as water rights in a small community. We have a city near me that was partly founded by Norwegians. They may have something similar, though. But I doubt it. :blobsad: I was just there a few months back, too. Can't wait to go back. But that stuff Nestle owns, I wouldn't acknowledge its existence. Though, I would a competitor's, any day.

@shadowstreik In this case, Nestlé acquired it from Norwegians. Norwegians aren't going to quit using a product they've been using for 100+ years just because it's owned by foreigners. Freia (chocolate factory) was acquired by Mondelez (neé Kraft). No one's going to quit eating Melkesjokolade because of that, even if it sucks that we keep selling our businesses to other countries.

@thor Saem applies over here, unfortunately. Not everyone knows how to figure out a 'work-around', know what I mean?😉
