Hah, yeah, it's pretty ridiculous seeing people in other countries trying to use a knife to slice cheese when there's such a handy tool available for the task.Another great (norwegian) invention that is common in Sweden. I can't believe more countries don't use it.

Sure... but when I got hooked they were maybe 20 SEK a pop. And I guess "logs" would be what you'd call a stock in English. :POriginally Posted by RoadHazard
It doesn't have to be. I by my snus in "stockar" ("stocks"?) of 10 for 360 SEK, so 36 SEK per tin. Still kind of expensive, but a far cry from what it typically costs to buy a single tin.
(Göteborgs Rapé all the way!)
Personally I never really had a favourite. The one I liked the least was probably General. Too mainstream. :P
How can anyone mention Sweden without mentioning Ikea and H&M? Sweden <3.
When i used to work at Netto we had a lot of Swedish customers that come to our supermarket to buy booze. Oh do they buy booze. Cases of wine and beer. I always found the drinking and selling alcohol in Sweden to be harsh.

Jag sitter här och avnjuter en god knäckebrödsmacka med bregott, prästost och självklart Kalles kaviar. Och ett stort, kallt, uppfriskande glas mjölk. Från arla. Dayum it feels good to be Swedish.
Snus is awesome, kicked my smoking habit no problem. And while a "dosa" of snus costs about the same as a pack of cigs, a dosa lasts much longer than a pack.Seriously, every smoker having trouble quitting should consider snus. It's awesome. Unfortunally it's just as expensive as smoking nowadays so I had to quit recently. But my God... morgonsnusen!
Swedish Match and other snus manufacturers have started selling snus in the US, any smoker trying to quit should try it out.
And morgonsnusen med kaffe is the best thing ever, breakfast of champions :P

I introduced some friends to a cheese slicer as they call it. It was a magical moment for them.
We had that cheese slicer at my house :) I didn't know it was Swedish. We used it to slice Gjetost.
At Christmas we always had lefse and julekake like he ones here

And if course meatballs waaaay before Ikea made them popular. Loved those as a kid,
Mobile GAF can't handle åäö in quotes posts. Am I alone in this?
Edit: seems it can, sporadically.

I can believe this, since that's what I usually have instead of breakfast and the hunger goes away. Might also be the low-carb diet I'm on, so who knows.This is truth. I actually read somewhere that that particular combination will trick your brain into thinking it's not hungry. So snus is essentially a weight loss pill too!
Pattarna. Typo my man.
haha pattorna...vilken hjälte.
It surprises me that Sweden and Norway don't have rugbrød.
It's one of those tricky things where a word can mean many different things in different contexts. "Fick" is the past tense of "få", which in turn can mean "get", "aquire", "receive", "be allowed to", "have to" (which is the closest match in this case, so "fick" would be "had to"), etc.What does "fick" mean?
So, in this case: "...som Danmark fick ge upp" = "...that Denmark had to give up"
Well, we have rågbröd. Maybe it's not exactly the same thing though?Originally Posted by Phoenician_Viking

Lagom amount of posts this evening.
This thread needs more Swedish socialrealism and ångest.
Lagom sort of epitomizes the Swedish mentality and outlook on life.
Min dygnsrytm är åt helvete.
How difficult would it be for an American to move to Sweden?
Yay äntligen kan man prata svenska här ;D Nah I guess not ;P
How does the legal system work in Sweden? Is there anyway an American law degree could possibly translate to practicing Swedish law w/o having to do 3 more years of school?
