The Scandinavians are tough people.
The Swedes are totally okay with cold weather. When it’s 32°F on the thermometer, or even below that, you can see this: office employees are going to have lunch and wearing just jackets, men are wearing thin windbreakers and riding bicycles, 3-year-old children outside without any hats, and fathers carrying their babies in unbuttoned jackets.

I wish I was born in Scandinavia, the most civilized and evolved region with the highest functioning governments. I guess that’s why it’s ranked as the best place in the world for regular citizens with the most people-centric government programs.

#9: "When they found out that eating candy too often was bad for your teeth, the lördagsgodis tradition was born: the Swedish people could eat as many sweets as they wanted, but only one day a week."
I just can't imagine the pervasive cultural mindset necessary for an entire country to permit their government to regulate every individual's eating of candy.
This rubs my spirit of rugged individualism the wrong way - just like when NYC Mayor Bloomberg tried to ban the selling of large-sized soft drinks. Who gave these nanny-state politicians the idea that they had any authority over such things? That's what parents are for. Damn, Sweden, have a Snickers bar.
