They almost never use cash.
The people in Sweden use a system called Swish to pay for all of their purchases. It is connected to their phone number and their bank account. In September 2018, it had 6.5 million users. There is even a verb “to swish” which means to transfer money or pay for something. They can “swish” the money to a seller, even in a street market.

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.
