- lördagsgodis(saturday candy) came somewhere during the 50′s. it was created by dentists to get kids to eat less candy, since it’s bad for ur teeth to frequently eat sweets.
- parents loved this so everyone born after the 50′s-60′s grew up with saturday candy
- if it’s a holiday, or your birthday, you’re allowed to eat candy too.
- however, because the weekend sort of starts on friday after school is finished, ‘fredagsmys’(literally friday cozy) is also a thing. (and people eat chips/crisps and candy on fridays too. but it’s still called saturday candy.)
- fredagsmys became especially popular after a chips brand released a tv commercial with a fredagsmys song
- most older swedes eat candy whenever they feel like, but everyone has that collective feeling of guilt because you grow up learning that you’re only allowed candy on saturdays
- eating candy on fridays is accepted too, but generally fridays are for chips and saturdays for candy
When you are a swede, trying to feel less guilt about your candy sins
- Wednesday is in the middle of the week, so it is lill-lördag (small-saturday), so I can eat candy then!
- Sunday is like still weekend, so I can eat candy then
- On monday i got leftovers of candy from sunday, which must be eaten
- Thuesday? I gotta buy candy to prepar for lill-lördag tomorrow!
- Thursday? Thor wants us to eat candy this day, I am sure.
- Friday? Fredagsmys! It demands candy.
