'I visited a hidden gem just 30 minutes from Europe's most liveable city'
Copenhagen, Denmark's capital and most populous city, is steeped in history and boasts stunning architecture. A short flight away, the city is brimming with delightful restaurants, shops and cafes. However, when it came to exploring the surrounding areas, nothing particularly stood out for journalist Sophie Harris until she discovered that Sweden was a mere 30-minute journey away. Sweden is renowned for its bustling cities like Stockholm, but Malmo, the country's third-largest city, was relatively unknown to her, she said. Situated in the far south of Sweden, it's at the eastern end of the impressive Öresund Bridge, a lengthy road and railway bridge connecting to Copenhagen, reports the Express. Sophie said: "After deciding I wanted to visit the city to tick off two countries in one visit, I purchased the tickets and was in Sweden in just 30 minutes. Malmo is located in the far south of Sweden (Image: Getty) "Having done some research, I headed to Lilla Torg in the centre, a gorgeous cobblestone square full of cafes, restaurants and half-timbered houses." Constructed in 1952 as a market square, she said it proved to be one of the most picturesque spots to grab a bite to eat and a drink. Malmo ranks among the top 10 cycling cities globally, and while she didn't explore the city on a bike, many others were. The city centre features an extensive network of bike lanes and scenic waterfront paths for sightseeing. Sophie said one must-see landmark in the area is the Turning Torso, a neo-futurist residential skyscraper designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Completed in 2005, it's based on one of his earlier works named Twisting Toso, a white marble piece that mimics the form of a twisting human being and was the world's first twisting skyscraper.

The Western Harbour is another must-see in Malmo, offering a respite from the city's hustle and bustle. It's just a short stroll from the city centre, where locals enjoy a kickabout on the grass, indulge in ice cream from local shops and take in the sea views towards Denmark. Sophie added: "Sweden is also known for its famous sweets, known as Bubs, so I was sure to pick some up from the many sweet shops located in the centre. "There was also a huge shopping centre full of well-known chain restaurants and shops, which was handy when looking for some supplies. "Malmo was a gorgeous city to visit and with lots of green space, it didn't feel like a city at all. I'd highly recommend making the trip over to Sweden if you do visit Copenhagen."

TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Orkla Snacks
TikTokkers fell hard for Swedish candy in 2024, especially Bubs gummies, which come in three shapes (oval, skulls and diamonds) and have a distinctive foamy texture thanks to a unique manufacturing process. The sudden spike in demand sparked by a few viral influencer hauls from candy store BonBon triggered a global shortage that 'came as a total surprise,' says Ingvill Berg, CEO of Orkla Snacks, the Oslo-based company that owns the Swedish Bubs brand. When retailers in the U.S., U.K., France and Korea reached out to order the colorful candy, 'we just have to say no,' Berg says. But sweet tooth relief is in sight. Orkla is ramping up production in Sweden and has partnered with Texas-based Mount Franklin Foods to help produce and distribute Bubs stateside. Four bagged varieties are slated to go on sale in the U.S. by fall 2025. 'We could sell much, much more, because we are in a situation with uncontrollable demand,' Berg says.

Mount Franklin Foods to manufacture Orkla's Bubs candy in US
Mount Franklin Foods has secured the rights to make and distribute Orkla's Swedish candy brand Bubs in the US. The US-based confectionery and snacks business said yesterday (12 May) it will assume 'exclusive responsibility' to produce, distribute and manage the retail sales of Bubs Swedish candy. The deal marks Bubs' "first official entry" into the US, Mount Franklin Foods said. Production will start in July and distribution the following month. "Our retail division is uniquely positioned to scale this brand. From production to shelf, we're ready to meet demand and grow market share," Dave Barnett, SVP of retail sales at Mount Franklin Foods, said. Norway-based food group Orkla acquired Sweden-based confectionery maker Bubs Godis in 2022. Last May, Orkla invested Skr20m (then $1.8m) to expand its Bubs confectionery factory in Sweden. At the time, Orkla said the expansion came amid demand from 'both Swedish and international' customers for the products. Niclas Arnelin, who was Bubs CEO at the time of the sale of the business and is now international expansion director for Orkla's confectionery and snacks arm, said: 'The US is one of the world's largest and most dynamic confectionery markets and partnering with Mount Franklin Foods gives us a trusted, strategic foothold to scale Bubs thoughtfully and long-term.' For El Paso-headquartered Mount Franklin Foods, the deal supports its efforts to 'accelerate its growth strategy through category innovation and global brand partnerships'. The company, produces confectionery, fruit snacks, nut products, mints and snacks under brands such Sunrise Confections, Azar Nut and Element Food Solutions. The company's president and CEO, Enrique Grajeda, described the deal as 'a strategic leap forward for our portfolio and a perfect match for our growth vision'. In August last year, Mount Franklin Foods acquired Stuffed Puffs, a Pennsylvania-based filled-marshmallow maker.

Ill Oregon teen's wish becomes reality thanks to ‘amazing' community support
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — It started as a simple . But a parade in honor of an Oregon teen turned into something so much more. Seventeen-year-old Brian, known affectionately as 'Bubs,' is currently battling respiratory failure with courage and heart. The Reedsport teen dreamed of not only a parade, but a carnival in his hometown to share with everyone. With the help of Make-A-Wish, Brian's dream became a reality, and then some. 'Seeing him happy is one of the best things on the planet,' said Brain's mom Amber Reynolds. 'Brian loves this community and has such amazing support.' The whole town of Reedsport went all in for 'Bubsfest' — packing it with carnival games and big smiles. Additionally, Brian also received a key to the city 'as a symbol of our admiration, gratitude and unwavering support,' said Reedsport Mayor Linda McCollum. Volunteers poured their hearts into the project, including Kim Fredrickson, whose daugther was once a Make-A-Wish kid and just celebrated 35 years of being cancer-free. 'It feels awesome. (We) just wanted to do as much as we could,' she said. 'It just makes you proud to be a part of it,' added volunteer Trish Hoffman. From face painting to food trucks, the celebration was a masterclass in community. Volunteer Colby Jim says it's a reminder of what happens when people show up for each other. 'When somebody is hurting or somebody's going through something, we all come together. We band together and show that support,' he said. This is the story of a town united by joy, love and a whole lot of heart. 'It's been overwhelming. I'm grateful for all the love and support,' Reynolds said. Since 1983, Make-A-Wish Oregon has helped over 5,000 kids. To learn more or give back, visit their Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
