Smågodis and the Swedish Pick-and-Mix Wall
The Swedish pick-and-mix wall, or smågodis, is a national institution. Here is how it works and how to shop it like a Swede.
Smågodis means small candy, and the Swedish pick-and-mix wall is a row of bins holding dozens of loose candies you scoop into a bag and pay for by weight. It is the heart of Swedish candy shopping: low commitment, high variety, and a chance to taste your way across brands in one bag.
How the wall works
Grab a bag, scoop what you want from the bins, and pay by weight. It is the lösgodis tradition in its purest form.
How to shop it like a Swede
Balance sweet, sour, salty licorice, and chocolate, and always try one new thing. See what Swedish candy is.

Gustav grew up in Sweden on a strict Saturday-candy schedule, mixing his lördagsgodis bag at the lösgodis wall before he could spell salmiak. He has spent years tasting his way across Scandinavian candy, and now curates the range at TheSweetsTruck, from BUBS sour skulls to the saltiest licorice most people cannot finish.
