Norwegian newspaper article that unfortunately resists Google Translate, but the gist is that companies like Coca-Cola really do like to test out new products on Norwegians. This on various grounds, including that Norwegians are not unlike Americans, they have high income and are well educated, including women — apparently these are all factors in willing adoption of new products: "What works in Norway will work other places.". Other products tested first on Norwegians include Urge (the energy drink) and products from Toyota.
