Danish term or phrase: forberedt pa lidt af hvert

It's the text on the ending screen of an MPG advertisement, you can download it from ftp.leeeny.com (filename is dancingmouse.mpg, it's very funny). The company is "Topdanmark", but I would like to know what product or service is being sold (it's not evident from the video). If you could translate the spoken words at the end also, that would be great too. Thank you!
