September 3, 1967. People didn't use right hand drive vehicles with the left side traffic so we kept having head-on collisions pretty frequently since most of the road network here was narrow two-lane roads. Since right hand traffic had been on the wall for so long, we kept getting left hand drive cars, since they all knew it was coming. There was actually a committee in the late 20's that determined that we should explore switching to right hand traffic, and we actually planned to do it in the mid-late 30's at first, but something got in the way... We held the referendum in 1955, but it was clearly stated to be advisory, which could explain the low voter turn out of about 50% (Typically we'd see 80% and up voter turn out). It's part of the reason why seatbelts were introduced here, Vattenfall were building alot of hydro-power in northern Sweden during the 50's and had tonnes of accidents on the dangerous roads, so they hired a couple of engineers that got help from a doctor to develop "Säkerhetsbälte typ vattenfall" started installing them in all their cars in 1956. They later showed this to Volvo that used it as their belt until they developed the 3-point belt. I love me Volvo Speaking of which, drove home from work yesterday on black ice. I definetly need new winter tyres, I kept gliding left and right while just going along on a straight road.

Sounds about right, Corps aren't friends.

You're not alone, the first one was my favourite aswell. It might be because it's the first one I listened to aswell. I still got the music video DVD somewhere

Just a splash ontop of the mashed potato garnish

Minttu, Creme de menthe, creme de cacao and... *chefs kiss*

You're welcome to drop by sometime, I've got an outdoor hottub too It was amazing, it's only a couple of degrees below, but you can really feel it when you go from 75-80C and ~80% humidity to take a dip in the hole in the ice -17C would be real nice though, at that temperature they don't put salt on the roads, and while my car is technically speaking sandstone metallic, or Brown depending on who you ask, I really prefer the metallic paint to the rust.

Went to sleep at around 2am and woke up at 2pm. Not as planned. Atleast I woke up before 16 so that I can meet up with a friend of mine for some sauna..

Yeah, it's showing that they take it seriously, but I'm certain some Russian friendly people will make good use of it.

It's common fast food, so you see alot of that yeah, but it's most often eaten during lunchbreak

It's okay, I'm sure you can put some pumpkin spice marshmallows or a spraycan of "cheese" ontop, you heathen!

He really does, I noticed that too

That simply does not compute for me, a noodle is spaghetti and also what you get in asian food. I tried once when I was out of spaghetti to use macaroni instead for my pasta sauce and it was all kinds of wrong, it even tasted wrong They might be better nowadays, but they used artificial sweeteners here, and that taste is abhorrent to me. I've never really been outside of Sweden, so I've never compared things like McDonalds to other countries McDonalds, but from what my Canadian relatives tell me, ours is real good comparatively; Though as you say, it's still McD. I think Felix does release most variants here aswell, they're fairly popular and it's a "Swedish" company. I don't really keep tabs though honestly. In the link on the previous page I noticed black pepper variant and a "hot" variant. Not lying, it's great, and it's available everywhere here. So I reason it like this, if we were to stop eating that, the world would be taken over by cats - hence, we're keeping the world safe! Hah, that's definetly easier! I'm on the skill level of being able to strain the tomato paste without problems, it's tedious, but easy - emulsifying that bloody mayonnaise though is beyond me. Unless I use a mixer apparently! That amount of mayo though, not a problem, going to have to eat alot of meatball sandwiches though

Oh, boy, I just realized that none of y'all likely know what a Swedish "special" is... Oh, this will be ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS. You all are going to be soooo triggered; Behold... the magnificient "Hel special"; Hot dog bun with two hotdogs or a thicker variant typically with mustard and ketchup, with mashed potatoes with ketchup and shrimp salad ontop I'm not even joking though, it's amazingly good once you find the toppings you like.

Yeah, it's definetly noticeable, I grew up with Heinz ketchup, and Felix at the time had sucralose sweetener in it which tastes vile to my family. I'm far less picky with mayo though, but I definetly prefer homemade. I definetly would say that ketchup is easier to make at home though, that bloody emulsification drives me nuts...

Yeah, macaronis! That's what you have to macaroni! It's completely inedible, they even managed to make it even worse when they removed sukralose, somehow, but I guess that's why their tagline here is "Felix makes Sweden tastier". Heinz doesn't have a tagline, because they don't need to brag. There is a reason you don't get Felix' ketchup in fastfood stalls, because they'd be empty Helas curry ketchup is extremely popular with fries here along with "potato seasoning". Dammit, I'm getting cravings for a special now

Who's putting ketchup on noodles? What'd I miss? Do you really think we'd be the worlds biggest consumers of ketchup if we had good food? Also, there's exactly three kinds of ketchup to buy here, Felix (Which is vile), Heinz (Passable) and hela Curry ketchup. Sometimes not even curry ketchup https://www.ica.se/handla/sok/ketchup?s=maxi-ica-stormarknad-alingsas-id_01841

I did a quick look for funsies and nothing came up around here, and I'm honestly not surprised. I've got some Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauces available here, tabasco and then I'm drawing a blank on american foodstuffs that are here. The cola and such are here too ofcourse, but I doubt it tastes much the same, and I know there are some stores that sell "cheese" too, but I've never looked at them to see if it's from america or just something a local dairy copied and produced.

First, that is a damn dirty lie, it shouldn't be allowed to be shown without a trigger warning Secondly, we eat the most ketchup in the world over here, we know our stuff. Thirdly, we have eat the actual cheese here, instead of melting it into a homogenized gloop, you have no say about cheese, and for your information we used to be the second largest consumers in the world of milk, but even though we've dropped in ranking, we're still way above you! And we have better animal husbandry than you! So there! We typically don't have stuff like that here, I was surprised to find barbecue sauce show up a few years ago. I'd have to find some specialty store, or make it myself, I'd probably skip on the soy sauce though, never was my favourite. Y'alls have some frigging fantastic hot sauces though, hands down the best.

No. Also, yuck. And thirdly, we don't really have much of that stuff here. And what there is is vile. We don't really eat scrambled eggs here, but eggs sunny side up with ketchup? It's a thing. Mix it up and scoop with bread. My grandfather used to do it all the time, and it basically caused me to not eat breakfast every again.

Pfft, what in the Holy Emperors name are you on about? I can't even write down a description of what it looks like without driving people permanently loose their apetite for food Seriously though, that's literally what it is, it's a 5 minute meal, instant macaroni, looks like the guy went "fancy" and actually put the meatballs in a frying pan, I'm half surprised he didn't microwave them. He could've atleast used normal macaroni.

The meatballs look like "Mamma Scans" meatballs, and considering the size of the macaroni I'd say "snabbmakaroner" which is typically from kungsörnen, the colour of the ketchup would suggest Heinz, but colour is tricky.

It definetly looks more apetizing than mac'n'cheese

Wikipedia to the rescue

You clearly don't have good ketchup then I do remember Sweden was the top consumers of ketchup some year, a while ago, so clearly we know best! The only thing I buy ketchup for is macaroni to be honest, I never make mashed potatoes myself, but I do enjoy it on hotdogs, with mustard, dried onion and bostongurka ("Boston gurkin", has absolutely nothing to do with boston) My fav burgerjoint closed a few years ago after changing owners (And ditching ground chuck for just normal ground beef) but I think it was chili-mayo dip they had, or something very close to it. It was ****ing fantastic. I miss them so much
