Sweden: Arvid Nordquist

I was wrong about the following:

~~Also: Löfbergs is owned by Nestlé or a subsidiary since ten years back or so.~~

As a värmlänning. I did not know of the Löfbergs nestle connections. I am also unable to find it in any Swedish sources. Spare to share your Intel? :)

I have to do what’s called a ”pudel” (a poodle) in Swedish. Löfbergs launched several coffee varieties (like Karisma) around 10 years ago and they ended up on a blacklisting due to Nestlé connections. So I haven’t bought any coffee from them for many years. But as it seems now, I was either misinformed or just naively against anything related to Nestlé. Sorry, fuck Nestlé, but I might just start enjoying Löfbergs again. Thank you for the comments.

I can't find anything about Löfbergs being owned by Nestlé online, do you have a source?

To "pudla" is too often seen as a bad thing, it's good to admit when one is wrong, thanks for the info/retraction

Zoegas is also owned by Nestlé. Arvid Nordqvist only coffee option in Sweden.

Also tastes better in my opinion.

[–] Regna@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

As I stated in the other comments, I have to retract my statement about Löfbergs. Sorry.

As Finn, I may have said that I prefer Nordqvist to Paulig stuff. I'm not admitting anything though. I'm just saying there is a possibility that I may have perhaps let words to that effect come out of my Nordqvist filled mouth.

[–] generallynonsensical@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Stop it you two. Things are bad enough. We don't need the Swedes and the Finns agreeing. Nothing good can come of it.

Well there's a fun Wikipedia hole for me to fall into. Thanks!

[–] HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social 2 points 12 hours ago

You are most welcome!
