Lördagsgodis: Why Swedish People Eat Candy on Saturdays

Lördagsgodis: Why Swedish People Eat Candy on Saturdays

Imagine being told you can have as much candy as you want.

But only on Saturday.

That's basically lördagsgodis.

The Swedish word translates to "Saturday candy" and refers to the tradition of enjoying sweets on Saturdays.

It's become an iconic part of Swedish food culture and childhood.

Why Saturday?

Historically, the tradition was encouraged as a way of limiting children's candy consumption while still giving them a dedicated day to enjoy sweets.

Instead of having candy every day, Saturday became the big candy day.

And Swedes didn't exactly hold back.

Enter: Pick & Mix

One of the best things about Swedish candy culture is the concept of pick and mix.

You choose different sweets and build your own perfect candy combination.

Sweet.

Sour.

Fruity.

Chewy.

Salty.

Liquorice.

Whatever you're in the mood for.
