thumb|Lördagsgodis at IKEA in Hong Kong. Lördagsgodis (Swedish) or lørdagsgodis and lørdagsgodteri (Norwegian), ( or "Saturday candy") is a Norwegian and Swedish tradition of children eating candy or sweets mainly or only on Saturdays.
The tradition started as a health recommendation in 1959 following the government-funded Vipeholm experiments, where patients of Vipeholm Hospital for the intellectually disabled in Lund, Sweden, were unknowingly fed large amounts of sweets to see whether a high-sugar diet would cause tooth decay.
