Which Swedish Candy Matches Your American State? Here Is The Answer
California. New York. Florida. We matched some of America’s most iconic states with the Swedish candy that fits them best. Is this scientific? Absolutely not. Are we prepared to defend our choices? Mostly.
California — BUBS
Of course California gets BUBS. In general.
Colorful. Trendy. Vegan-friendly. Photographs suspiciously well.
BUBS went from Swedish candy-store staple to international obsession, and somehow that feels very California.
The pick: BUBS Dizzy Skulls
Unexpected and cooler than it has any right to be.
New York — Salty Licorice Fish
New York doesn't need you to like it.
Neither does this fish.
This Swedish salty licorice classic is intense, unapologetic and not particularly interested in making a gentle first impression.
You'll either hate it or spend the next six months explaining to everyone why they're wrong about it.
Very New York.
The pick: Salty Licorice Fish.
Obviously.
Texas — Marabou
No foam experiments.
No tiny gummy shaped like a strawberry.
Texas gets a proper chocolate bar.
Marabou is big, reliable, ridiculously creamy and has been doing its thing for generations.
The pick: Marabou Milk Chocolate
Don't mess with a classic.
Florida — Sour Cola Pacifiers
Florida needs something with energy.
Cool. Sour. A little chaotic.
The kind of candy that starts perfectly normally and suddenly punches you in the face with citric acid.
Sound familiar?
The pick: Sour Cola Pacifiers
Best enjoyed somewhere with palm trees.
Hawaii — Tropical Gummies
This one almost feels too easy.
Pineapple. Passion fruit. Peach. Watermelon.
Bright colors and tropical flavors belong somewhere warm.
The pick: A colorful Swedish sweet mix
Vacation in a candy bag.
Washington — Raspberry & Licorice
Grey skies.
Black coffee.
Flannel.
And a piece of black licorice that makes tourists question every decision that brought them here.
Washington gets Swedish salty licorice, with a touch of foamy raspberry.
Not because everyone understands it.
Because it doesn't care if you do.
The pick: BUBS Raspberry Licorice Skulls
Dark. Different. Excellent.
Nevada — Gott & Blandat
You reach into the bag.
You don't know what's coming out.
Sweet? Sour? Licorice? Something completely unexpected?
That's the game.
Gott & Blandat literally means "Good & Mixed", and Nevada understands the thrill of taking your chances.
The pick: Gott & Blandat
Put your hand in the bag and let fate decide.
Tennessee — Banana Caramel
This candy shouldn't work.
Banana?
Toffee?
Together?
Then you try it.
Sweet, nostalgic, slightly unusual—and somehow completely right.
The pick: BUBS Banana Caramel
A little country. A lot of candy.
Colorado — Marshmallow Mushrooms
Colorado gets foam candy.
Soft, outdoorsy-looking little mushrooms and shapes. Plenty of vegan options. Different enough to be interesting without trying too hard.
We can already picture the bag sitting next to a reusable water bottle.
The pick: Marshmallow Mushrooms
Take them hiking. Or don't. We're a candy company.
Louisiana — Fizzy Skulls
Louisiana was never getting plain milk chocolate.
It needs personality.
Color.
Something slightly mysterious.
Preferably shaped like a skull.
The pick: BUBS Fizzy Skulls
Sweet, sour and impossible to ignore.
Okay, But What About the Other 40 States?
We're getting there.
The beautiful thing about Swedish candy is that there's probably a candy for every personality—and apparently every state.
Maybe Massachusetts is a Läkerol person.
Maybe Arizona belongs to sour watermelon.
Maybe Ohio is secretly the biggest foam-candy state in America.
We don't make the rules.
Actually, in this case, we completely made up the rules.
