Good question, but we pay close attention to the news and hopefully we'll get out before that's a problem. If we're unable to leave the country then I guess I'd contact the Swedish embassy to see if they can help.

Chile. Maybe it's because I'm American but nobody there was interested in talking to me, sharing their culture or learning anything about me. I tried multiple times but all my interactions with Chileans were purely transactional and most of them seemed annoyed to have to deal with me. I've been to ~25 countries and wouldn't bother returning to Chile.

Not preparing at all, just living my life like normal. When things get really bad here I'll sell my car and move to Europe with my girlfriend (I have dual citizenship and can sponsor her).

Hershey's is definitely low quality chocolate and high in sugar as you mentioned, but it's also gluten-free which is rare for chocolate (almost all other brands have wheat warnings / cross contamination due to the use of shared equipment) so sometimes my celiac girlfriend buys it. I prefer Marabou (Swedish) or Karl Fazer (Finnish) myself, but we're in the US where those can be hard to find unless you know where to look.

I worked at a food bank a couple years ago and we regularly received pallets of government cheese through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). They were massive blocks of orange cheddar with almost no text on the label. We also received pallets of government pistachios and dried cherries that were as good as any you'd buy in a store.
