This is mostly a historic thing. Kids and adults alike today in Scandinavia eat candy whenever they like it. Popular stuff today include - extra large energy

  As a swedish parent i see most parents still restrict kids candy only on Saturday. And parents rarely give their kids sodas and never vapes. Perhaps my observation would differ if my kids were in their later teens…

  I would say that restricting kids to having candy on Saturday or special occasions is still very common in Sweden and Norway. I would expect reactions from other parents if a parent said they let their kids eat candy any day.

  Not at all. My wife and I, living in Sweden, are practicing it today with our kids (5 and 8 years old), and my impression is that most families around us do the same. Energy drinks, vapes and snus might be popular among teenagers, but has there ever been a time when you have been able to control what teenagers do to any higher degree.
