Two year’s later I found that it’s actually designed by Amore, which also recently rebranded Tetra Pak.

Following are the ‘new design’ done for Skånemejerier by amore:

amore x skånemejerier amore x skånemejerier

But I did think the cloud pattern for yoghurt, latosfri and creme fraiche was very cute :) The cheese package is also a lot more polished compare to their previous design.

God, I miss Sweden’s dairy product – where the heck can I find filmjölk?!

Anyway, apparently many people were back in Lund for Valborg. I am so so so jealous – especially the architects – Sofia, Fabio, and Chiara all flew back to Lund… (Fabs definitely appears on too many people’s profile picture!!!)

These guys remind me all the good times mucking around in the studio, late nights in kökett av A-huset, sunny days on the lawn in front of A-huset… SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WHY AM I NOT A EUROPEAN?!?!!

Now if you think this is just a lazy day with truck load of alcohol then you are wrong. An enjoyable Valborg requires a lot of preparation. First you need to be aware of the opening hours of Systembolaget, because they are the only way you can get alcohol in Sweden and there are only 3 Systembolagets in the entire Lund. Second, not only you need to know the opening hours like the back of your hand, you also need to start stocking up alocohol two weeks before Valborg, if you want to get all the cheap but good alcohol that everyone afters. Or else, you will just be staring empty racks or expensive alternatives that your wallet is not too happy about on Valborg. Three, finding your friends in Stadsparken is no joke. People play music and merry people do talk louder than usual – especially if they are happy drunken Scandinavians… trying to locate your friend in Stadsparken on Valborg over the phone is almost mission impossible because believe me, people is everywhere… (and totally comparable to CNY night market at Victoria Park in Hong Kong) D, try drunk biking after drinking your arse off from Stadsparken to Delphi. I know I only wanted to puke. E, you need to be fast to secure tickets to Nations on Valborg night!!! Lastly, it is very very important that you are only merry but not so drunk that you get your friend killed.

Otherwise, it was a very very merry Valborg for me. Except I totally missed the bonfire at S:t Hansbackar in the evening… :(
