What is Lördagsgodis? The Swedish Saturday Tradition

If you visit Sweden on a Saturday, you'll see a strange phenomenon: grocery stores packed with people filling paper bags with scoops of colorful candy. This is Lördagsgodis.

Saturday Candy

Translating literally to "Saturday Candy," this tradition started in the 1950s as a health initiative to limit sugar consumption to one day a week. Today, it is a beloved cultural ritual.
