Swedish children look forward to the weekend for their once-weekly candy.
On a Saturday afternoon, in Västerås there are a buzz with families weaving in and out of the local shopping mall. Look closely, and you’ll spot children tightly clutching a perennial weekly accessory: a bag of loose pick-and-mix.
Swedes are so into the norm of buying and eating candy on Saturdays they’ve even got a special word for it: lördagsgodis, which literally translates to ‘Saturday sweets’.
“Lördagsgodis has always been ‘a thing’,” says Anna Andersson, who grew up in the 1960s and has just bought marshmallows with her seven-year-old son. “You wait for Saturday to get your candy. And it's like a small, big event with your parents. And now I do it with my son as well.”
The lördagsgodis concept dates back to the 1950s. Swedish medical authorities began recommending sweets as a once-a-week treat, to try and limit rising cases of tooth decay as the country became richer, says Sofi Tegsveden Deveaux, an author and lecturer on Swedish culture and values. .
