Fika is the Swedish tradition of having
coffee, cake, and a chat. It’s such an
integral part of the culture that many
businesses have fika twice a day, and
sometimes it’s mandatory.According to IKEA’s corporate website: “Some of the best ideas and decisions happen at fika.“
so after reblogging this to find out if other countries had this as well, i found out the following:
- germany: yeah we have something similar called “Kaffee und Kuchen” 🙂
- america: i work 16 hours per day at minimum wage and get a 7 minute unpaid lunch break, and instead of “fika” i have “suffering” and “death”
