Partying & Cinnamon Buns
There seems to be this current trend in western society that dieting is the cool 
thing to do. 
Everyone has to either do it, read about it, or watch others do it.
Exhausting really! 
And as with all trendy things there are of course a million and one ways in which to do it (gravy train, anyone? )
In today’s edition of the free of charge Swedish paper City there is a feature on diet & exercise.
(Of course, which happening paper wouldn’t have? 
)
In the feature there is an attempt to explain that alcohol actually contains calories, or energy, by comparing it to ‘kanelbullar‘ or ‘cinnamon buns‘ . The last sentence in the short text is really too good to be true!!
It’s priceless.
Simply priceless!! 
Hur många kanelbullar blir det för dig under en festkväll? City
And I’m sorry if you don’t understand Swedish because then you simply won’t get it!
I do wonder if the comparison to kanelbullar has something to do with another current trend: the return to a simpler, more countrified lifestyle and the subsequent return of the ‘Kafferep‘ with its traditional Swedish pastries & biscuits?
‘Kafferep‘ being basically the equivalent of the similarly revived British ‘Afternoon Tea‘ by the way.
Substituting the tea for coffee, of course.
