Pick & Mix
Loose candy, single varieties, sold by the bag — the wall, one flavour at a time.
What pick & mix means in Sweden
It is not a novelty aisle, it is how candy is bought. A Swedish supermarket devotes a wall to it: fifty or more bins of loose candy, a paper bag, a scoop, and a price by weight. You walk it, you fill the bag, you pay for what it weighs. The tradition it belongs to is lördagsgodis — Saturday candy — which is explained properly on the Swedish candy hub.
Nobody leaves the wall with the same bag as anybody else, and that is the entire appeal.
This page is the loose candy itself
Single varieties, sold by the bag rather than combined: one flavour, one texture, in the quantity you would have scooped. It is the page to buy from when you already know that Dizzy Skulls are the thing and you do not want them diluted by nine others.
Two neighbouring pages do the other jobs. Candy mixes are finished combinations we have put together and bagged. Build your own mix is the wall itself — you choose every piece and we weigh it out here in Sweden. People confuse the three constantly, so: loose, ready-made, or made to order.
What is on the wall
Most of it is BUBS — skulls, ovals, rhombs, in sour and sweet — because that is what the range is strongest in and what people ask for. Alongside it: Ahlgrens Bilar Limousines, Fazer Tutti Frutti, Toms Ferrari, sour cola dummies and the S-Märke bags. Not all of it is Swedish-made, and a Swedish pick & mix wall never has been.
