THE SWEDISH CANDY

The Sweet Story of Swedish Lösviktsgodis

In Sweden, candy isn’t just a treat – it’s a cultural tradition. Few things are as beloved as lösviktsgodis, the freedom to pick and mix your favorite sweets from a wall of colorful bins. From sour gummies and creamy chocolate to salty licorice and marshmallows, it’s a treasure chest of flavors where everyone can find their perfect mix.

This tradition goes hand in hand with something uniquely Swedish: “Lördagsgodis” (Saturday Candy). Since the 1950s, Swedish families have gathered every Saturday to enjoy candy together. The idea was originally promoted for health reasons – limiting sweets to one day a week – but over time it grew into something much bigger. Today, Lördagsgodis is a ritual of togetherness, joy, and anticipation. Children (and adults!) look forward all week to that moment when the candy bags are opened, laughter is shared, and favorites are traded.

Lösviktsgodis is more than sugar – it’s about creating memories. It’s the cozy movie night with friends, the birthday party centerpiece, or the sweet reward after a long week. It’s a tradition that brings people together and has shaped Swedish candy culture into something truly unique.
