GB Glace makes ice cream similar to the Nestle brands in the US sold from ice cream trucks. The difference seems to that these are sold in cases nearly everywhere. So far I've tried only three types: two like American King Cones and this jordgubbar ice cream sandwich. The King Cone- like confections were inte so bra (not so good...the chocolate was waxy), but this strawberry bar hit the spot.
Why Swedish people are not big as houses given the ubiquitousness of ice cream, candy, and baked goods will be the subject of another post....once I figure it out. I have an inking that it has to do with all the walking, biking, and skiing people here do. And I think these things really are treats to have at sweet shops on the go or while having afternoon coffee (fika)...and not something people sit around at home eating.
I'd like to be able to say that it's because sweets here are less horrifying, but that's sadly not true. Bubble gum flavored gummy colas and princess cake, which is a cream cake covered with garish green marzipan, pretty much make the horrifying cut.
