Some American products are unavailable or hard to find in Sweden.  It’s getting better, but we’re still missing alot or if you can find things, they are extremely expensive.  I was browsing around a little specialty store in Stockholm when I found this.  Downy fabric softener.  The price tag is 239 kr.  Allow me to convert that to American dollars for you – $37.24.  Yes, you heard me right.  Plus, it’s only enough for 40 loads.   $37.24 for a bottle of fabric softener that costs just under $4 at Wal-mart.

If I meet anyone in Sweden who buys this nonsense at $37 a bottle, they are officially off my socializing list.
