Frequently Asked Questions

Lördagsgodis (pronounced LERR-dags-GOO-diss) means "Saturday candy" in Swedish. It's a 70-year-old family tradition where Swedes hand-pick a bag of candy every Saturday to share, instead of eating candy every day. Pim's Pick 'N' Mix brings the same hand-picked Scandinavian candy experience to the United States, available any day of the week, not just Saturdays.

Pim's Pick 'N' Mix ships more than 130 authentic Swedish candies nationwide from Boca Raton, Florida. Every piece is imported directly from Sweden, the same brands (Bubs, Cloetta, Malaco, Aroma, Fazer, Candy People) sold in Swedish grocery stores. Customers build their own weight-based custom mix or subscribe to the Saturday Box for weekly deliveries.

Custom-mix Swedish pick 'n' mix at Pim's is $18.95 per pound, with a half-pound minimum. Prices are calculated by exact weight at checkout (no fixed bag sizes). Subscribers to the Saturday Box save 10% off retail plus free US shipping. Party-sized 2 lb bags and prepacked gift boxes are also available.

Most Swedish candy uses natural colors (beetroot, turmeric, spirulina, safflower) instead of FD&C dyes, and is sweetened with glucose syrup or sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup. Roughly 80% of the Pim's catalog is naturally colored. It is still candy, and every ingredient list is available in the info modal on the shop page so buyers can verify allergens and additives before ordering.

Roughly 80% of Pim's catalog (about 107 of our 130+ candies) uses natural colors only, no Red 40, no FD&C dyes, no Yellow 5 or Yellow 6. Swedish producers overwhelmingly color candy with beetroot, turmeric, spirulina, paprika extract, and safflower instead. The remaining 20% (mostly bright-blue and neon candies like Bubs Bubblegum Skull or S-Märke sours) still use E133 Brilliant Blue. Every product page shows the ingredient list so you can verify before ordering.

TikTok discovered Swedish candy in 2023 and 2024, first with Bubs skulls (Cool Cola Skull, Bubblegum Skull) then the broader pick-and-mix format. What resonated: cleaner ingredients than American candy, the novelty of building your own bag, and unusual flavors like salty licorice (salmiak) and Ferrari sour cars. Videos of Americans trying Swedish candy for the first time regularly hit millions of views. Pim's Pick 'N' Mix stocks all the viral Swedish candies including the Bubs skull collection.

The gummy fish sold in US supermarkets are a mass-produced spin-off. The originals, Malaco's Pastellfiskar, come from Sweden in every flavor imaginable (raspberry, cherry, pear, cola, sour). Pim's Pick 'N' Mix imports the real Pastellfiskar and sells them by weight. Taste side-by-side: the Swedish ones are chewier, less sweet, more flavor-forward.

About 30% of Pim's 130+ candies are vegan, no gelatin, dairy, honey, carmine, or beeswax. Every candy card on the shop page shows a "Contains" info pill listing any animal-derived allergens (milk, gelatin, nuts). Vegans can filter the shop by dietary preference to see only vegan options. Bubs skulls, gummy skulls, and most fruit-based candies are typically vegan.

Around three quarters of the Pim's catalog is gluten-free (about 100 of our 130+ candies). Foam candies, most fruit gummies, and chocolate-free hard candies typically contain no wheat, rye, barley, or oats. The shop filter lets you show only gluten-free options. Every candy card lists a "Contains: gluten" info tag when the ingredient list includes wheat flour or barley, including trace warnings.
