BUBS

In these days of corporate brand ownership and takeovers it's nice to see BUBS, still a family owned business in Sweden, going strong.  The name comes from the names of the four members of the Lindstrom family, Bernt, Ulrik, Birgitta and Stefan – it's all very ABBA so far as that goes, maybe this is how all things in Sweden are named. Their high-tech factory operates 24 hours a day and produces several million kilos of candy a year – a small portion of which we are able to purchase so that you can put them in your mouths.
