Lördagsgodis
Lördagsgodis (English: "Saturday sweets") is a Swedish tradition of children eating sweets (candy) on a Saturday.[1]
The tradition started as a health recommendation in the 1950s following the government-funded Vipeholm experiments, where patients of Vipeholm Hospital for the intellectually disabled in Lund, Sweden, were unknowingly fed large amounts of sweets see if a high-sugar diet would make their teeth decay.[2]
