as every other kid in Scandinavia I grew up watching a show about child abuse in Sweden. The central plot point of each episode was the kid (Emil) had to make it to the carpenters workshop (the snickarboa) and lock himself inside, so his dad wouldn't catch him and punish him.

From your link: "Our brand name Snickers Workwear is derived from the word for carpenter in Swedish: snickare." ;)
