I was surprised that they mixed both English and Swedish on the packaging. This may be because it is sold internationally. Does wiener make people thing of sausage, sausage-type things, or pastry?

probably wiener as a reference to vienna/viennese. the viennese are quite proud of their coffe culture (or what’s left of it) 😉 iced coffee was popular in the 70s and 80s but has vanished since
Wiener makes me think of German Frankfurters, or similar, in a bun with mustard, brown sauce and beer to wash them down with. But I may be alone in this and that’s okay because it’s not Oktoberfest for a few months yet.

Yes! Sausage-flavoured coffee what I thought of first. It’s definitely a cultural and language thing.
