Retail / sale of sweets
Swedish term or phrase: lösviktsgodis
Can anyone tell me whether this is the equivalent of the (UK) English 'pick and mix', where a bag of various different sweets can be picked out using tongs and the bag is then weighed for payment, or is it simply types of sweet that are sold separately from one another but not in ready-weighed packs? It's simply mentioned as a successful sales boom on a CV.
Thanks in advance.
