\"\"<\/a>\u00a0Do you have a collection of Ittala-glasses with the stickers left on at home? Does anyone in your family own either a Soda streamer or a spike mat? Have you ever had stick insect as a pet? Do you take it as a compliment if anyone tells you that you are “so un-Swedish?” Do you have plastic bags that are a bit too nice to put rubbish in? Do you even choose a “nicer” plastic bag to put the present in when you go to a party?
\nIf your answer is YES to all of the above questions, you are most likely a born and bred Swede! At least according to the very entertaining card game “Lingon, l\u00e5dvin och l\u00e5ngkalsonger” (Lingonberry, bag-in-box and long johns), <\/strong>who rewards 3 points per YES to all of the above questions. The game is easy. 300 questions, all very Swedish and stereotypical, and you score points depending on how Swedish you are.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you reply YES to any of the following questions:
\nDo you have a beer\/glass of wine with your lunch? Have you ever been to the cinema alone? Have you ever smoked anything stronger than cigarettes? Do you use the shower gel left in the shower at the gym if you forgot your own? Well, then you lose points, as you are clearly behaving very non-Swedish.\u00a0The game is easy as pie – and very entertaining, even for non-Swedes.<\/p>\n

Want to win the game? That is easy as pie as well! Just drop us a comment and tell us what you think is typical Swedish behaviour -and why. A very Swedish jury – consisting of me and only me – will\u00a0pick a lucky winner on July 11!<\/p>\n
