Someone else in another thread (I think it was sistermagpie?) said that Frusen glädje wasn't actually Swedish, though, but was made in New York. (I had never heard of it, despite having lived through the time period in the U.S.!)

I agree with you that it's fun not knowing what Nina's true feelings are, but man, does that ever make the idea of writing fanfiction or meta about her particularly difficult. No one in the fandom has written a single story about her yet, and I think that's a lot of why.

P.S. Fun to see you here after I've gotten to know you a bit better on Twitter! *waves*
