      You're required by law to have a list of ingredients in Finnish and Swedish (the whole two official languages thing), but the sheer amount of English you see looking around at the shelves at your average supermarket does feel a bit weird sometimes. It gets even weirder when Finnish companies make products that are mainly in English

        Yeah like, shoe on the other foot, imagine me going into an American grocery store and the ingredients are in English but everything else is in Chinese.

          Do most people also read and speak Chinese to at least some extent through sheer cultural osmosis in this alternate universe
