It's Tilly, who works at the coffee shop at the market.

And she has just come back from Sweden doing a student exchange.

And she said, Sweden's got a bit of a weird attitude towards lollies.

They only eat lollies on Saturdays.

It was a government initiative to encourage children only to eat lollies on Saturdays.

And so everyone heads off to the 7-Eleven.

They've got great pick and mix.

I noticed that when I was in Sweden.

They have a great pick and mix selection with Swedish lollies.

So she said, yeah, it's a real thing in Sweden.

And it's got a very dark undercurrent, the story, because they fed a lot of lollies to disabled children in the 70s or the 60s to try and work out which were good or bad.

So she said there's this dark undercurrent.

I said, that's very Swedish, like those TV shows that we see here.

So anyway, she said these are amazing.

They are a beautiful race of people.

Having been to Japan last year, they are pretty skinny.
