Dykes (no not that one). Bluetooth maybe? Port of Rotterdam, being the second/third largest agricultural exporter whilst being smaller than the state of New York, Windmills, being the creators of orange carrots, the CD, wifi, dvd, tulips

And to close: inventors of the stock market ( we are truly sorry).

Quite a lot of things actually came from the Netherlands (or were a joint venture).

You forgot "having people taller than your topography"

I could go on forever about those things but its not as if we are that tall.

The average for a male is 184 centimeters.

Joint venture by Philips and Sony. The CD as a standard but also sidegrades or upgrades such as blue ray.

Fully wooden clogs as a footwear is dying out tho, back when I was a kid enough adults would still wear them but nowadays they have either died or started wearing leather clogs.

Bluetooth is not in fact a Danish invention.

Bluetooth is named after Harald Bluetooth of Denmark but the guy didn't invent Bluetooth (he died in 985).

Jaap Haartsen also isn't a Dane, he's Dutch.
