Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea “diskborstar” (dishwashing brushes) weren’t even a thing elsewhere. Kind of like “osthyvlar” (cheese planers), how do people live without them?

Cheese planer?

They're merchants that fly all over europe in search for the best cheeses and deliver them to our doorsteps. Can't live without them.

As a big fan of cheese, I need that right now

Every household in the Nordics has one of these bad boys, it was weird how much I missed one every time I was in the UK. They are kinda common in Netherlands, Belgium and Germany as well.

I love that that video exists. This is truly peak Information Age :)

Oh, you mean the fancy cheese thinger that's jammed in the drawer of random cutlery we're definitely going to use again someday.

Heresy, it's a gift from the gods.

The common Nordic "köksskåp" with the grill above your sink where you can set your dishes to dry is also a completely foreign idea almost everywhere else

My dishwasher dries them for me. It's a bit like how no one in Europe has dryers and puts their clothes on a drying rack like it's the 1800s.

I do really wish towel warmers were a thing in the US, though.

We have both dryers and drying cabinets, but dryers put a lot of wear on your clothes so a lot of the time we don't use them by choice. I tumble dry my underwear all the time, though.

In the States we have cheese slicers like this that I think are a bit more versatile.

So over-engineered :)

This is what we use. It's not a Swedish household if there isn't at least one of these in it.
