Well, Finnish people respect honesty. You my good man, as well, your children are so much in the same kind. The review is very honest and delightful. Thank you, and a big hug!
I had to subcribe because of all the interesting videos, the honesty part and those great kids. It would have been nice to hear how they had rated xylitol gums, which are very good for teeth.
We also love reactions of eating salmiakki and mämmi. 🤣🤣🤣 (For me and my palate; salmiakki is good but mämmi with cream and sugar is nearly heavenly in mämmi time)
No needs to apologize Theo. Everyone has they own taste, but it's still fun to watch foreing people testing our candy. Here in Finland we have a saying: The thruth comes from children mouth. So you own kids reaction tells that saying to be truth. It is so fun to watch all your Finland travel videos and how you like to know more about our country, people and history. Your open mind and friendly way to make these videos are the point, why, I like to watch your content and I think so as others here.
Yeah salmiakki is definitely an aquired taste. I remember giving my older brother all my salmiakki candy as a kid. Now if I go get "pick and mix", or whatever those are called in English, majority of my bag will be black. Like my soul :P
The 'Kiitos' one is actually called Kismet. It is so known one here they no longer need to spell its name on the cover. Instead they have personal messages on it, like 'thank you' or 'miss you'. Idea is to give that as a gift to a friend.
OMG .. that looks like the Maxx chocolade we used to have in Norway that they now don't produce anymore ... man I loved that chocolade !!! have not eaten since late 90's sadly, I am definitly going to check for that one next time I travel to Nourgam :-)
The title should read something like “A study of sugar’s effects on children”. They get more and more energetic as the tasting progresses. Absolutely adorable!
The taste of the candy from 1895 is rowanberries and the animal on the front is a fox. It comes from a fable of Aesop about fox and rowanberries (originally grapes) and a proverb "Sour, said the fox about rowanberries" is known both in Finland and Sweden (and possibly other Nordic countries too).
Salmiak is only eaten, in significant quantities, in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, and parts of the northern Germany. It's very much something you either have to grow up with or acclimate yourself to stubbornly since the taste comes from ammonium chloride (salt of ammoniac), which, in most of the world, ought to sound like something belonging to fertilisers or chemical industry, not in people's stomach. As unique a taste in food as you can get. Some people with no prior experience do like it instantly, though. Like most Finns, I appreciate it. I also love watching TH-cam videos where foreigners taste it for the first time. That never gets old.
@UCBFmSRjcquM8JzGj97L2DwQ Salmiak ice cream could be the perfect way to get one's first experience with salmiak. It ought to go down smoother, for the uninitiated, than salmiak candy.
@@blueturtle3338 Yes, and when you really are on the loving mood you must remember safety and use the salmiakki flavored condoms we have here. Because of course we do. 😏
@@hokkikokki Not 100% sure but it might have been first proper candy for our grandparents, granny told stories of them having a raw sugar as a candy, it was huge block of sugar and the parents cut pieces from it and have it to the kids.
Fazer is a confectionary, bakery and restaurant company started in 1891 by Karl Fazer. Despite it's size it still is an independent family business which is pretty rare in todays global world, especially in food industry.
It's private only due to the creediness of the family. They don't care anyhing else but keeping it their own money-spinner so they don't have to do a thing. None of the family has nothing to do with the company and won't bother. Fazer could already be tremendously more succesful, an international and world-known brand. The fact not going public has only hurt this company.
@@eugenepowerhouse2487 Nah man it's their company they can do what ever they want. Who are you to judge them? You just sound jealous. Not everything has to be big and perfect. There is also good change of the company going down spiral after going public.
@@eugenepowerhouse2487 Well Taffel was mostly ruined after being bought by the Norwegians. Aside from a couple of chip bags like the nacho balls here, they don't bother adding spices anymore. Estrellas are much more flavourful.
@@eugenepowerhouse2487 Well, regardless of their reasons for keeping it family owned, the company staying in finland has undoubtedly kept their product quality high. These 'large international world known brands' you seem to so love, tend to cut corners in *everything* and it *shows* in the products they make.
I was surprised too! My dad practically lives on the stuff :D I don't have as much of a sweet tooth but I'll eat a Fazer's blue bar or a Geisha bar every now and then :). Love salmiakki too, I guess a lot of Finns just have the tastebuds for the stuff. There are haters here too, but honestly I think the majority here genuinely like it.
I'm surprised he thought it tasted like Hersheys. When I tried Hersheys I was disappointed because it was just sweet and had no real flavor. Blue has a flavor I can't quite describe and I've never found anything similar.
Pihlaja = rowan, it used to be marmalade made of rowan berries but i don't think they use them anymore. Its a classic candy. And it's a fox 🦊 They're also called "fox candy"
@@lohikaarmeherra-1753 I don’t know for sure, but I think it was a good while ago. The name of the candy was "Pihlajanmarja" until 1982, so maybe that has to do with this...
.9Mr Boyrie, you have truly adorable children. "Can we keep them for me and Milo?" followed by "Can we keep them just for me?" was simply perfect! She really liked the Marianne :)
The Taffel nachocheeseballs are highly addicting. Sometimes I finish a whole bag without realizing it and regret it after xD Also Hershey does not taste like Fazer Blue at all. Hershey tastes way more sweeter and worse. Recommend the full Fazer blue bar.
Yup, i tend to sometimes eat a 300 gram bag of cheeseballs and a 300 gram bag of sour cream and onion chips in one sitting, after eating i realize that was like 3500 kcal LOL
Hershey's is interesting because it kinda tastes like vomit but I do buy it sometimes for variety. The vomit part just goes on for a second, then it tastes decent.
For some reason Fazer blue tastes totally different as small packages compared to a full bar. The smaller packages have too much surface coating that ruins the taste I guess.
Some of the sweets from Fazer have been around for +50 years so they can print whatever they want to the wrappers since people will recognize those anyway if the basic design/color theme is there. :)
I love salmiakki 😍 But with those mixed bags..eat fruity one and salmiakki same time 👍 To me it is perfect and to some IT might be easier introduction to salmiakki.
Those pastillit are small and hard versions of bigger and softer candies that are in big bags in the stores. And they’re usually meant to be sucked rather than bitten
Your kids waited for so long just to get that one candy and once they get it all you can hear is pitter patter of them running to the toilet/kitchen to spit it out I can't HAHAHahhaa. I loved this video! 10/10
It so nice to see you, with your kids. I have been following your channel long time. I think that finnish and american taste differs quite much, because here in Finland most of the people are used to sour and salty taste and most of our candy have less sugar than american ones.
Salmiakki with Vanilla Ice cream or with fruit candies, like sirkus aakkoset or rotan rykäisyt are really good. Salmiakki chocolate is kind of a mixed bag, most of them are horrible.
This was a fun video, appreciate the honesty. Always interesting to see how others like our treats. Also, what I've seen happening quite often when foreigners try Finnish candy is that someone will eventually send a "care package" filled with what they think you should have tried (assuming they find a mailing address), and with instructions on what is the optimal way to eat them :D Also, I'm eating some Tyrkisk Peber salmiakki while writing this.
When I was a kid back in the 70s Pihlaja candies (I would call them "kettukarkit", fox candies) my granny gave me tasted really sweet. Might be the experience is different today, with thousands of different kinds of candies in stores they start to loose in comparison.
A nice wholesome video. I would still implore you to try the Fazer milk chocolate again when in Finland. I've noticed that the chocolate changes texture and taste when exposed to warmth for a long time, becoming a bit clumpy and losing the smoother texture. It might have taken the overseas flight a bit badly. Happened to me when sending chocolate abroad through mail in the past.
It's always so nice to experience new things with the little ones, they are so straight and honest with their opinions and experiences. Talking from experience. 😍
I think I prefer the exclusive series more.. better taste but yeah more expensive. though you don't tend to eat them so much.. just 1 piece with coffee or something.
Pihlaja is the oldest candy. It's just a classic relic kept on shelves. It's not super good, it's basically sugar. And during those times sugar cubes were the candies.
I've been checking your videos every now and then, this video made me very happy tho. You visiting Finland, enjoying your stay here, and reviewing finnish products with your kids, ( who are absolutely lovely) I subscribe youtubers very rarely, but your channel is too good to not be Subscribed to :) awesome, keep on going! Respect from Finland
The moomin pastilles and the salmiakki ones you have there go very well together in a 2:1 mix. Two fruit pastilles and a one salmiakki pastille at a time. That's how salmiakki candies shine, you mix them with fruit candies.
I forgot to mention.. What a great bunch you guys are😍 Kids that age fully understanding the format and what you 3 are doing. Mutual love and respect in your family IS just shining through ❤️❤️❤️
Haha, this was fun to see. Good job adding your kids to the tasting reaction. Hope you have good summer with your family. Salmiak is acquired taste and always fun to see people from cultures that have nothing like it try it out =). Just keep being honest like some said already here, we viewers from Finland appreciate honesty. If you don't like then you don't like it :D
There was this japanese guy living in tampere who ate salmiakki for 30 days and in the end he kinda started to like it, takes time but it seems like you can "learn" to like it :D
Pihlaja is a Rowan tree's berry flavored marmalade. The sugar taste is really prominent on the candy as the berries of Rowan are really sour otherwise.
Hello from 14yo boy from Finland! Nice to see other countries trying finnish candy. And those mint chocolate candys are Marianne, and the "kiitos" is kismet, They say the kiitos for like: thank you for buying this product😁
As others have pointed out, must have been something horribly wrong with the Fazer Blue you had, as it doesn't really resemble Hershey's at all really, but might if gone bad or smth :).
I am subscribing for her. That outro is hard to resist. So make sure to feature her in future videos, you will get to that 10 million subscribers in a no time.
The chips might be a bit stale. That's one of the reasons why the bags are filled with nitrogen. Japanese people never got offended by Geisha. It was more like a joke by some idiots because for some reason some people take offence to everything, no matter what. It's just a chocolate bar called Geisha.
I really like you channel and enjoyed your visit Blogs /Action in Finland ( I have Finnish Passport but live in Germany) - 6 days rather short since there is lot to see in the country. Your Kids like Finland sweeties.
I'm glad that you were honest. There was one Canadian video what got it's comment section raided by Finnish people because they just disrespected Finnish candy.
Back in 2007, in the finnish army, we used to keep those fazer blue bars in our vest at winter. That chocolate was a life saver after a long ski march or after a heated firefight in deep snow.
11:39 U.S. born and raised Finn here. Of all these, this is the one I remember from childhood. Always at Christmas time. ( likely not easy to get in the US at the time (1960s)) Just in the last couple of years we found a store that imports them, and a Christmas tradition has been renewed. 😀
Yeah, Pihlaja is like grandparents candy. Not that great maybe, but you eat it still when your grandma gives one to you 😊 Another grandma favourite is the Omar candy - it is like a soft fudge type candy (also sort of meh taste lol).
This is the most funny content of all your stuff. Its so funny to hear you child's and yours as well reaction of sweet that you guys don't there. Great 🤙🏻
TY for bringing your kids too here in Finland. If U have some sparetime, try to rent cottage on seaside or lake, there U can really feel what is that peace and quiet what we Finns like so much. (Ps. take everything what U might need with U, cause it's hard to get anything in middle of nowhere.. but I can promise, that it would be experience to live thru and memorizing later ) and by the way pihlaja (rowan) is made from berrys of that tree. oh and by the way, if your kids like minced meat and sausages(next product contains a little of it) you'll have to try lihapiirakka with 1-2 nakki (sold from little kiosks at evenings, you'll smell that greese from a far...) seasonings usually mustard, ketchup, mayo etc. if wanted.. better than big mac :)
Lovely kids, honest as 101/101 :) They might like salmiakki later on, or not. No matter. You are 3rd of channels to follow. SISU is a way of life. We have it and our older familymembers make it stronger. Family first. Love from Finland!
Pihlaja is rowan in Finnish. They're also known as foxcandy. In Finland we joke that they're grandma candies, 'cause all the grandmas have them in their house and nobody seems to like them. Foxcandy has been around since 1895-- so it's old school!
Great video and lovely kids you have. Salmiakki, there is many different kind of it, salty and regular, soft and hard. Salmiakki hits your back jaw with its taste if its very salty. But enjoying salmiakki with coffee, you'll get tender taste of it.
When you were talking about the Pihlaja candy I tried to remember what it tasted like and all that came to mind was sugar 🤷🏻♂️ So pretty spot on in my opinion.
My father was a Taffels sales rep in the 1980s and 1990s. We had a warehouse full of Taffels chips which my father gave to his customer grocery stores as samples. Free potato chips in the trunk of the car wasn't quite so good for waistline according to my mom and dad. :P
An honest review, I like it a lot 👍. You have a wonderful family. To me, Fazer's blue tastes like mixture of milk and dark choco. Fazer's red might be better option, it's more smooth and tastes like a classic milk chocolate.
Pihlaja, is a rowan berry candy. Also called Kettukarkki (fox candy) as the illustration looks like a fox. I keep stack of those on my office table to ward off that sugar hunger. Less sweet but does the trick.
Salmiakki (Salmiak, Ammonium salt, Ammonium-chloride, usually added to licorice) certainly is a strange thing. Many nordic people like it in mixed candy bags. Together with something sweet fruity candies, possibly some sour candies and e.g. chocolate candies. And possibly with sweet licorice candies, which as such is not salmiakki-related. And if the salmiakki or licorice ones are missing, something is missing in the bag. Well, not 100% of nordic people like salmiakki nor/or licorice. There are a lot of different tasting salmiakki candies. Here would be good selection of basically totally different tastes: "Liitulaku" (Skolekridt, 'School chalk', 'chalk licorice') "Turkish pepper - Hot and Sour", a bag with these three different tastes: Turkish pepper, light brown, licorice (Tyrkish peber in Danish) Turkish pepper, dark gary-brown, stronger salmiaki Turkish pepper, other colors, like red, orange, blue, more fruity outside, pepper salmiakki inside "Pommix salmiakki" (has gray salty one, and brown sweater licorice version) "Supersalmiakki", black salty liqourice, but not very salty) "Lakritsijäätelö", basically says licorice ice cream, but actually is always salmiakki ice cream. Only taste ones where ice cream is white, with black salmiakki-licorice pieces in it. The ones where ice cream is gray are not good
I did live in Sweden, and there I did meet a customer from Germany who did ask specific Finnish Salmiakki ( He just asked that because off I was from Finland). It was a nice task to try to find tar Salmiakki from Gothenburg. The only place where I did find that candy was a boat repair shop that sell a different kind of chemical to maintain boats.
I don't know if you encountered "Pantteri" candies (panther) - the one with all black is really good. It isn't salty kind, and surprisingly changes how beer tastes. I've used those on many occasions to get people realize they actually do like beer. 🙂
USA has very different tasting Chocolate... and USA specifically. I've herd people describe the taste of American chocolate disgusting due to having something weird in it. Not all of the chocolates but the classic ones.
in my experience 2/5 foreigners hate salmiakki , 1/5 take it for their mother in law 1/5 for their friends and 1/5 loves it and buys more to have it at home too.. its really an acquired taste.
The chip bags are air filled so you don't end up with a bag of crumbs.The stated weight on the front of the bag is what you get.Air is added as a cushion!!
Thanks for an awsome review! Tho i am convinced that something happened to the Fazer blue bar during fligt cause honestly it does not resemble Hershey’s at all, I’ve always kinda found Hershey’s mildly disgusting even tho i love most chocolates
Well, Finnish people respect honesty. You my good man, as well, your children are so much in the same kind. The review is very honest and delightful. Thank you, and a big hug!
I agree. But not gonna lie, that 0/100 for salmiakki hit pretty hard...
@@Maazitung it sure hit hard but it would have hit even harder if it would have been like 9/10 after spitting it out and running to drink water

There's research about it, and sugar doesn't make children more energetic. It's situation where candies are given that makes the children excited.

When I was a kid back in the 70s Pihlaja candies (I would call them "kettukarkit", fox candies) my granny gave me tasted really sweet. Might be the experience is different today, with thousands of different kinds of candies in stores they start to loose in comparison.
Yeah, it's what grannies grannies used to give to children, not what grannies these days would give to children.
@Samson 92 How old are you?
A nice wholesome video. I would still implore you to try the Fazer milk chocolate again when in Finland. I've noticed that the chocolate changes texture and taste when exposed to warmth for a long time, becoming a bit clumpy and losing the smoother texture. It might have taken the overseas flight a bit badly. Happened to me when sending chocolate abroad through mail in the past.
It's always so nice to experience new things with the little ones, they are so straight and honest with their opinions and experiences.
Talking from experience. 😍
the blue Fazer chocolate is the most basic chocolate they ever done, and yet in my opinion it is the best milk chocolate in the world!
I think I prefer the exclusive series more.. better taste but yeah more expensive. though you don't tend to eat them so much.. just 1 piece with coffee or something.
@@akse lol
Samaa mieltä, fazeril on tosi hyvä laatunen suklaa ja tykkään siit
It's cool how you are very honest, regardless of any possible smack talk. 😄👍
Your kids are lovely! Thank you for this video to the whole group!
I'm glad you're here in Finland, I hope you had a good time here 🇫🇮
The cheese balls have a great alternate version, the fire balls. I love them, since they have a nice mildly burning chili taste.
I once gave a German girl a Marianne version of the Kismet and her eyes teared up because it was so good 😅
Pihlaja is the oldest candy. It's just a classic relic kept on shelves. It's not super good, it's basically sugar. And during those times sugar cubes were the candies.
I've been checking your videos every now and then, this video made me very happy tho. You visiting Finland, enjoying your stay here, and reviewing finnish products with your kids, ( who are absolutely lovely)
I subscribe youtubers very rarely, but your channel is too good to not be Subscribed to :)
awesome, keep on going! Respect from Finland
You have such a cute kids. I'm overwhelmed by them. I love the way this channel of yours is going. Good job and greetings from Helsinki!
Haha fun video! Finnish candy is awesome,fun to see your kids trying it! 😁
Greets from Sweden 🇸🇪🇫🇮
The moomin pastilles and the salmiakki ones you have there go very well together in a 2:1 mix. Two fruit pastilles and a one salmiakki pastille at a time. That's how salmiakki candies shine, you mix them with fruit candies.
I thought I'm only one doing this. Thats best way to eat candy
My favourite is 2 Haribos Super Piratos and a strawberry Ufo.
Bro offended the whole nation of finland when reviewing the choclate and the chips and the salmiakki
we call those pihlaja candys as "kettukarkki" foxcandy in english :D
I forgot to mention..
What a great bunch you guys are😍
Kids that age fully understanding the format and what you 3 are doing.
Mutual love and respect in your family IS just shining through ❤️❤️❤️
Haha, this was fun to see. Good job adding your kids to the tasting reaction. Hope you have good summer with your family. Salmiak is acquired taste and always fun to see people from cultures that have nothing like it try it out =). Just keep being honest like some said already here, we viewers from Finland appreciate honesty. If you don't like then you don't like it :D
There was this japanese guy living in tampere who ate salmiakki for 30 days and in the end he kinda started to like it, takes time but it seems like you can "learn" to like it :D
The “Kiitos” one is usually labeled Kismet
Ahh ok haha I was wondering that
Pihlaja is a Rowan tree's berry flavored marmalade. The sugar taste is really prominent on the candy as the berries of Rowan are really sour otherwise.
As a Finn, loved to wathc this! What a beautiful family you have! :) Hope you visit finnland again!
As a Finn, im ADDICTED to The taffel nacho cheese balls. Thank you for trying Finnish snacks!🇫🇮
Respect your honesty man! I believe salmiakki is something you grow in to slowly. Nice video as always.
Haha! You've got lovely kids. Just like mine! I like Milo's ratings "1 or 2 thumbs up"
Hello from 14yo boy from Finland! Nice to see other countries trying finnish candy. And those mint chocolate candys are Marianne, and the "kiitos" is kismet, They say the kiitos for like: thank you for buying this product😁
As others have pointed out, must have been something horribly wrong with the Fazer Blue you had, as it doesn't really resemble Hershey's at all really, but might if gone bad or smth :).
Heat probably ruined it.
I am subscribing for her. That outro is hard to resist. So make sure to feature her in future videos, you will get to that 10 million subscribers in a no time.
The chips might be a bit stale. That's one of the reasons why the bags are filled with nitrogen.
Japanese people never got offended by Geisha. It was more like a joke by some idiots because for some reason some people take offence to everything, no matter what. It's just a chocolate bar called Geisha.
Yeah basically no Japanese was offended by it, but some Asian woman lost her modeling job over the fake outrage.
you got a smart girl there man she is going to go far love youre veidoes keep it upp peace :D
I really like you channel and enjoyed your visit Blogs /Action in Finland ( I have Finnish Passport but live in Germany) - 6 days rather short since there is lot to see in the country. Your Kids like Finland sweeties.
I'm glad that you were honest. There was one Canadian video what got it's comment section raided by Finnish people because they just disrespected Finnish candy.
Back in 2007, in the finnish army, we used to keep those fazer blue bars in our vest at winter. That chocolate was a life saver after a long ski march or after a heated firefight in deep snow.
11:39 U.S. born and raised Finn here. Of all these, this is the one I remember from childhood. Always at Christmas time. ( likely not easy to get in the US at the time (1960s)) Just in the last couple of years we found a store that imports them, and a Christmas tradition has been renewed. 😀
That red "Paula" is really called Marianne, and that brown "Kiitos" Is called Kismet.
Yeah, Pihlaja is like grandparents candy. Not that great maybe, but you eat it still when your grandma gives one to you 😊 Another grandma favourite is the Omar candy - it is like a soft fudge type candy (also sort of meh taste lol).
6:55 "Pihlaja" = rowan tree, mountain ash. We also call those by the name of "Kettukarkki", in english "Fox Candy". Those are Rowan berry marmalades.
This is the most funny content of all your stuff. Its so funny to hear you child's and yours as well reaction of sweet that you guys don't there. Great 🤙🏻
:D Nice vid again. Salmiakki is the only candy I eat, and loved it since I was a kid. And talkin bout kids, nice to bring yours here, cheers.
TY for bringing your kids too here in Finland. If U have some sparetime, try to rent cottage on seaside or lake, there U can really feel what is that peace and quiet what we Finns like so much. (Ps. take everything what U might need with U, cause it's hard to get anything in middle of nowhere.. but I can promise, that it would be experience to live thru and memorizing later ) and by the way pihlaja (rowan) is made from berrys of that tree. oh and by the way, if your kids like minced meat and sausages(next product contains a little of it) you'll have to try lihapiirakka with 1-2 nakki (sold from little kiosks at evenings, you'll smell that greese from a far...) seasonings usually mustard, ketchup, mayo etc. if wanted.. better than big mac :)
Lovely kids, honest as 101/101 :) They might like salmiakki later on, or not. No matter. You are 3rd of channels to follow. SISU is a way of life. We have it and our older familymembers make it stronger. Family first. Love from Finland!
You have super lovely children - and an awesome guy by yourself too!
Pihlaja is rowan in Finnish. They're also known as foxcandy. In Finland we joke that they're grandma candies, 'cause all the grandmas have them in their house and nobody seems to like them. Foxcandy has been around since 1895-- so it's old school!
Beautiful, sweet children! This was so nice! Thank you for sharing!
Waiting for the salmiakki 😂😆
Our favorite candy is like our humor, dark and salty
Very cute snacks test, and so lovely kids❤️ Wishing you all the best!
Great video and lovely kids you have. Salmiakki, there is many different kind of it, salty and regular, soft and hard. Salmiakki hits your back jaw with its taste if its very salty. But enjoying salmiakki with coffee, you'll get tender taste of it.
When you were talking about the Pihlaja candy I tried to remember what it tasted like and all that came to mind was sugar 🤷🏻♂️ So pretty spot on in my opinion.
Kid on the right doing fractions like nobody’s business 😄
My father was a Taffels sales rep in the 1980s and 1990s. We had a warehouse full of Taffels chips which my father gave to his customer grocery stores as samples. Free potato chips in the trunk of the car wasn't quite so good for waistline according to my mom and dad. :P
I quess the figure in Pihlaja-candy is a fox. I recall those as foxcandys and my uncle always bought those for us. 🇫🇮
My kid would be jumping on the walls if she got that much sugar on a one sitting. 🤣
Awesome video! 😃👍🇫🇮
An honest review, I like it a lot 👍. You have a wonderful family. To me, Fazer's blue tastes like mixture of milk and dark choco. Fazer's red might be better option, it's more smooth and tastes like a classic milk chocolate.
Pihlaja, is a rowan berry candy. Also called Kettukarkki (fox candy) as the illustration looks like a fox. I keep stack of those on my office table to ward off that sugar hunger. Less sweet but does the trick.
Salmiakki (Salmiak, Ammonium salt, Ammonium-chloride, usually added to licorice) certainly is a strange thing. Many nordic people like it in mixed candy bags. Together with something sweet fruity candies, possibly some sour candies and e.g. chocolate candies. And possibly with sweet licorice candies, which as such is not salmiakki-related. And if the salmiakki or licorice ones are missing, something is missing in the bag. Well, not 100% of nordic people like salmiakki nor/or licorice.
There are a lot of different tasting salmiakki candies. Here would be good selection of basically totally different tastes:
"Liitulaku" (Skolekridt, 'School chalk', 'chalk licorice')
"Turkish pepper - Hot and Sour", a bag with these three different tastes:
Turkish pepper, light brown, licorice (Tyrkish peber in Danish)
Turkish pepper, dark gary-brown, stronger salmiaki
Turkish pepper, other colors, like red, orange, blue, more fruity outside, pepper salmiakki inside
"Pommix salmiakki" (has gray salty one, and brown sweater licorice version)
"Supersalmiakki", black salty liqourice, but not very salty)
"Lakritsijäätelö", basically says licorice ice cream, but actually is always salmiakki ice cream. Only taste ones where ice cream is white, with black salmiakki-licorice pieces in it. The ones where ice cream is gray are not good
Also the kid on the right is RIGHT. Marianne is awesome 👏
This was fun 😅👍 all good to you, and your family.
I did live in Sweden, and there I did meet a customer from Germany who did ask specific Finnish Salmiakki ( He just asked that because off I was from Finland). It was a nice task to try to find tar Salmiakki from Gothenburg. The only place where I did find that candy was a boat repair shop that sell a different kind of chemical to maintain boats.
I don't know if you encountered "Pantteri" candies (panther) - the one with all black is really good. It isn't salty kind, and surprisingly changes how beer tastes. I've used those on many occasions to get people realize they actually do like beer. 🙂
That is so weird, cos most of foreigners like Fazer Sininen. I think it is the best chocolate in the world! =)
USA has very different tasting Chocolate... and USA specifically. I've herd people describe the taste of American chocolate disgusting due to having something weird in it. Not all of the chocolates but the classic ones.
Have to add that as a Finn I appreciate your honesty. It would be easy to praise everything just for the likes! Own taste is the best taste!
Such a wholesome video overall!
You got great judges there. Finnish children also don't like salmiakki. I love your videos, greetings from Finland 🇫🇮🫶
in my experience 2/5 foreigners hate salmiakki , 1/5 take it for their mother in law 1/5 for their friends and 1/5 loves it and buys more to have it at home too.. its really an acquired taste.
The chip bags are air filled so you don't end up with a bag of crumbs.The stated weight on the front of the bag is what you get.Air is added as a cushion!!
I can recommend beer with salmiakki. Also works well with vodka.
Thanks for an awsome review! Tho i am convinced that something happened to the Fazer blue bar during fligt cause honestly it does not resemble Hershey’s at all, I’ve always kinda found Hershey’s mildly disgusting even tho i love most chocolates
You're right, they really don't taste the same. Fazer blue is best chocolate i have tasted and i dont like herseys.
Your kids are adorable, are they still on a sugar rush after trying all the candy? 😅
Luckily they're not haha
Ooooh just started watching it. Nacho cheese balls are my fav. So hyped to see the reaction! -finn
