The Nordic Candy Vocabulary

Lördagsgodis — "Saturday candy." In Sweden, kids traditionally get candy only on Saturdays. It's when families stock the clear jars and everyone digs in.

Salmiak — salty licorice, flavored with ammonium chloride. An acquired taste that's completely standard in Finland, Iceland, and parts of Denmark/Sweden.

Lakrids (Denmark) / Lakrits (Sweden) — licorice. Can be sweet or salty.

Bilar — "cars" in Swedish. Specifically Ahlgrens' candy cars: chewy, marshmallow-textured cars in multiple flavors. A Swedish childhood staple since 1953.

Fruktkombi — the fruit-flavored version of Ahlgrens bilar (instead of the original).

Vingummi (Danish) — wine gum; gelatin-based fruit gummy. A Danish specialty.
