Do you know they're danish?

I just got back from some morning errands and now am at the internet café downstairs. On the way back, I thought of some companies that ya'll might not know that they're danish. Just to name a few:
Everyone's childhood friend--LEGO


Internet phone service giant--Skype
The shoe company--Ecco
SAS--Scandinavian Airlines
The market leader of windpower technology--Vestas

But while a lot of people assume Danish pastry comes from Denmark, it's name in danish suggests otherwise: wienerbrød (Viennese bread)

And I've never had a single piece of Danish cookie/danish butter cookies in Copenhagen.
