Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Carl: When it comes to candy in Sweden, there are many unique types that are exclusive to the country. For example, saltlakrits or “salty liquorice” is a salty candy with no added sugar and is one of the most popular sweets in Sweden. You should try it! Perhaps you'll find a new delicacy you enjoy, or will at the very least have a food experience you'll never forget.
