In 1909, Adolf Ahlgren (1872-1954) introduced Läkerol. To this day, most Läkerol candies are stamped with the imprint of the letter "A". The name "Läkerol" comes from the Swedish word läka, which means "heal". In the 1980s, Swedish tennis player Björn Borg did a series of advertisements for Läkerol.[3][4]
