I'd have to say Beaver Tails (Canada) what they do is take beavers and cut off their tails and then deep fry em (fry em in grease) and put stuff on top of the fried tails, so delicious!!

Ok, teuton here...
Let's see...I'd say the rocket technology from ww2 paved the way for modern space technology (satellite tv, etc). Oh, and the really, really, really famous physicist with the weird hair. He's also responsible for quite a bit

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. ^.^
And I praise Ireland every day for that heavnly drink.

OT: Australia.
We made Penicillin the periscope and most importantnly

Holy crap did I nearly mis-read that horribly: I thought for a second the title read, "Your Country's Best Invasion." Normandy sprang to mind, but then I looked again and then thought of the pizza bagel...

George Washington invented the high-five
If you're telling the truth, then that is the coolest thing I've ever encountered on the internet.
OT: Hmm, what, oh what, has the U.S. invented? Airplanes (not the first heavier-than-air method of flight, by the way. Someone in, I think, Germany invented the first small helicopter before that.) nuclear energy, telephone, peanut butter, and who knows what else.

I never knew Irish inventors are responsible for so many weapons. Even our only Nobel Prize for Science winner, Ernest Walton. Whatever about Nobel inventing dynamite, Walton's work would lead to nuclear weapons.

I'm gonna say lunar charts since as far as I known Newgrange is not some prehistoric WMD, though with this track record humanity will be using lunar geography in new and appalling ways to slaughter itself all over the galaxy...

Australia invented the Plasma Thruster (Yes it actually exists).
So that takes the coolness cake for me.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4527696.stm (You have to read down a bit to get to the right part)
But also the Black Box Flight Recorder.
And Refrigeration. That's gotta be the most useful.
That or Internet WiFi.
