Sweedies is a candy truck full of Swedish lösgodis. Grab a scoop, pick exactly what you love, fish for a surprise, and walk away with a bag that's nobody's but yours.
Swedes grow up with a Friday bag of loose candy, picked one piece at a time from a wall of bins. We put that wall in a truck and drove it to Austin.
Sour skulls, salty licorice, foam bananas, chocolate frogs, fizzy cola bottles. Sixty-odd bins, all from Sweden.
One of each, all of one, nothing with licorice. No pre-packed bags here. The mix is the whole point.
Pay by weight, fold the top, and carry home a bag of exactly what you wanted. That's the good part.
“You don't buy a bag of candy. You build one, with your friends next to you, arguing about the sour ones.”
Sweedies is for grown-ups who still remember how good that felt. Come with friends, take your time, and leave with a bag that's a little bit you.
A Swedish party game every kid knows. Cast your rod over the white sheet, wait for a tug, and reel in whatever's hanging from the hook.
Every catch is a surprise: a mini bag, a rare Swedish candy, a voucher, or, now and then, a golden ticket.
We pop up at festivals, markets and parties around Austin. These are example stops to show the idea; nothing is booked.
Spin once and bring your prize to the next Sweedies stop. A discount, a mystery bag, or a free go at Fiskdamm.
At a Swedish wedding the night doesn't end with dessert. Out comes the candy, and the party keeps going.
We bring that tradition to your wedding. The truck parks outside (or the bins come inside), your guests fill their own bags between dances, and everyone goes home with a little bag of the night.
Birthdays, weddings, office parties, block parties. We park, we open the bins, your guests fill their own bags.
