It doesn't matter that school gets out at random times because parents do not pick up children after school. Kids about 10-13 years old take themselves to a club off-campus and parents pick them up there. Older kids hang out with friends or go home to an empty house. Younger kids go to an afterschool program (SFO - Skolefritidsordning) on campus and parents pick them up later in the afternoon.
Around 2pm one of the kids goes around and rings a bell announcing that snack is ready. I am fascinated by the Danish snacks. Here is a little list -
1 rice cake, 2 apple slices, 2 orange slices
1 cracker, butter, and thin slice of chocolate
roasted potato with side of ketchup
2 crackers, 2 large slices of cucumber
pasta with choice of pineapple or tuna fish
your choice of corn flakes, oat flakes, raisins, and milk
hot dog in a mini-bun (or just the bun)
1 piece of chocolate, 1 orange
applesauce with cream and jam
SFO-made rolls with butter and jam
The snacks are so random; it doesn't seem to follow any pattern.
