Sweden's best invention huh?
Well, the zipper is a really useful one,
and I think DOTA is Swedish.
Um, DoTA is part of Warcraft III, so I don't think so. Do correct me if I'm wrong.

Baconnaise. It's Mayonnaise with bacon in it!

Also the 23 delicious flavors of Dr Pepper and delicious taste of Shiner Bock are bottled in Tejas.(spelled like that because... I felt like it.)

DotA the song, not the Warcraft DotA.
And wasn't Texas only a republic?(Asks the history major)

Ok then I was joking when I asked that question but if you want to go there. I asked since as you were implying texas is now a country. I did not ask if texas was a country some time in the past.

North Carolina = the airplane, Pepsi, and pantyhose

For some reason these three inventions give me the image of a stewardess in pantyhose giving me a complimentary Pepsi on an airplane...

My favorite, though, would have to be The Escapist!

Texas made the transistor and the integrated circuit. We are responsible for modern electronics.
Daaaamn straight! We also invented a thing called the "automobile" and we are responsible for all the Oldsmobile and Fords and Chevys
Since when is texas a country?
Since trying to pick the best U.S. invention is like trying to find a potential date at a swimsuit model convention.

Guiness... XD
I think Portable defibrillator are very important, and they were made by someone Irish. :D
You gotta agree! Without Portable defibs, we'll all die and never be Able to be saved during a Zombie Apocalypse XD

Though... That's only because I'm living in Ireland... but since I was born in England... Hmmmm... DNA fingerprinting for my English side. ^.^

From Sweden, so I'd say perhaps the pacemaker?
Or maybe flatscreen monitors, or GPS?
Hard to say.

There may have been a mix up here, perhaps you guys came first but while googling "notable irish inventions, I found this site [http://www.patentsoffice.ie/en/student_inventors.aspx], and this little passage:


---Holland, John Phillip (1841-1914) Liscanner man, John Phillips Holland, is accredited with launching the world's first successful submarine, the 'Fenian Ram', in 1881. He also invented a mechanism for submariners to evacuate their sinking vessel.---


I'm just going to google a bit more. :)
