Wild Candy Day on 4/7 – background
Loose Candy Day has no official background, but there is no doubt that loose candy has a long history. Loose candy, as we know it today, began to be sold in Sweden in the 1960s. Before that, candy was usually packaged. The idea with loose candy was that customers could pick and choose from different varieties and only buy as much as they wanted. This quickly became popular and today Sweden is one of the countries that consumes the most loose sweets per capita in the world.
How is loose candy day celebrated on July 4?
Celebrating Candy Day can be done in many ways. The most obvious is, of course, buying and eating loose candy. Why not take the opportunity to try some new varieties or rediscover old favourites? Another idea could be to invite friends and family to a candy tasting where everyone can contribute their favorite varieties. For those who want, the day can also be an opportunity to learn more about the candy’s history and production. No matter how you choose to celebrate, Candy Day is the perfect excuse to indulge in something sweet.
