I still think Swedes are weird because ...

• They love pear and licorice ice cream
  
• They will wait patiently in line while the girl behind the counter picks the stickers off some apples and pretends they don't exist
  
• They use snus (probably deserves its own post, must get pix first)
  
• They frequently tell foreigners how boring they are as a people
• They think it's normal to pay $30 for an entree at a mediocre restaurant
• They refer to time in the future by what week of the year something will happen (Classes start week 34! When the heck is that?)
• The telesales people give up without really trying ("Oh, so I guess you don't want our new service then ..."
• They think falukorv is a) actually sausage and b) yummy (see picture above)
• They love big sing-a-longs and actually televise them nationally
• They watch the Euro Vision Song Contest without a wink wink nudge nudge
• They must actually order pizza with peanuts, banana, curry sauce and ground beef because it's on most pizza menus
• They will bump into you, knocking off your purse and stepping on your feet, and never once look at you or in any other way acknowledge the event
• They are obsessed with their children being outdoors as much as possible, snow and rain be damned
