Lego
Everyone knows what Lego is, and there is a good chance that you played with the vibrant building blocks during your childhood. Before Lego began pumping out mounds of plastic pieces, a carpenter from Denmark handcrafted the blocks from wood called Ole Kirk Christiansen. He took the name from the Danish saying, “Leg Godt,” which translates to “Play Well.” Despite the materials changing, Lego has kept its sweet name. Not so sweet when you step on a Lego block barefoot, however.
