This pleasant looking bag is a focus of controversy among baggists. Oliver Conradi says this was aboard Norwegian flights
from Oslo to Bodø, Kirkenes and Tromsø.
But Norwegian baggist Frank Mulliri says, "As I work for Norwegian I must say I have
NEVER seen such a bag onboard... The bag can be found at Oslo airport
newsstands and shops and is used to contain candy/snacks that are sold in loose quantity/weight.
"The small holes on the top of the bag show
that they hang on strings; pull one off and go help yourself...
"Another possible explanation is Norwegian
handing over "smågodt" to passengers as a small gesture when celebrating
its 5th birthday in September. Being on vacation at that time, I can not confirm it.
"I hope we might see something else than boring generic bags onboard one
day, and believe me, ya'll be the first to know!"
The gusset contains a long blurb in Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish and
English about a "Candyking". So it looks as if this bag's primary purpose in
life is to hold sweets. Perhaps both before and after consumption?
Can anyone enlighten us as to what smågodt means? something to do
with "taste"?
