Swedish Fish memories... I can
remember back when I was a kid, and every Christmas my family would
visit our Grandparents in Wisconsin. After our big dinner my grandma
would always give the kids a handful of Swedish Fish. It was always a
little something extra that made opening presents that much better.
One year my sister dropped her handful on the ground outside, I felt
so bad that she didn’t get any, I shared mine with her. My Grandma saw
this, and went back to the house and got an extra handful for both of
us. Now I can share these memories with my kids. Thank you. ~ Andrew

Swedish Fish hold a special place in my heart. When I was in
university learning to become a teacher, I had to complete a
practicum. I was placed in a junior kindergarten classroom. We were
studying sea life, and after three weeks, we had done every
fish-related activity under the sun.
For our final 'sea
day,' my host teacher asked if I could create some sort of sea-themed
snack. I scoured the stores and found a huge tub of Swedish Fish... in
order to make them more of a 'snack' item, I mixed up a large batch of
blue jell-o and doled it out into little see-through plastic cups.
Into each cup, I dropped three Swedish Fish. The kids absolutely loved
the snack, although a few were hesitant about eating their jelly pets.

My dad took me on a fishing trip when I was six years old. On the way to the lake, we stopped at a
bait store. While my dad shopped for bait, I shopped for swedish fish. When we got to the lake, my dad asked me what I wanted to bait my
hook with and I told him swedish fish. He talked to me until he was blue in the face about how swedish fish would NOT attract the fish, but
I insisted anyway.
I am proud to say that my swedish fish bait caught TWELVE catfish that day. My dad caught NOTHING
with his worm bait. After that, my dad used swedish fish for bait EVERY time he went fishing and told EVERY person who crossed his path
about the time his daughter used swedish fish for bait and caught all the catfish in the lake. My dad passed away when I was fifteen, but
our family still shares our swedish fish bait story every time we have a family gathering. ~ Michele from California
