I’m Swedish, and I can just confirm. Yes we actually do like salty snacks. Most people in Sweden do. I think it’s the same way in the whole of Scandinavia. Salty on the outside and sweet in the middle. Just like the people. :-D
I’m Danish by descent and I don’t think that we like salt as much. It’s mostly sweeter things, but I would take salt over sweet any day
I'm neither Swedish nor Danish (from India), but I find the salty licorice quite delightful, and shockingly, so does my 4-yr old daughter. I can't say I've found the same appeal for the many double-salt varieties (which double up on the salmiak for that medicinal ammonia smell), but in general, I've been hooked ever since first trying Co-op coins in Helsingør.
It honestly reminds me of all the salt-cured dried fruits we commonly use in India to whet our appetites.
it's more like we kinda have a genetic tendency to like liqorice way more than other areas of the world. and it's just gone the way of more and more intense until we hit salty and spicy liqorice. i fuckin looooooooooove tyrkisk peber for example.
Also, salmiak/salty liquorice and raspberry (hallon) is a very popular combination.
yaa true
Anything from scandinavia with salt shows up: Ah yes, time to witness their weakness.
But then they complain about how everything in America is too sweet, like the bread lol
Further backing up my theory that everyone from the british islands think that they are in the geographical AND gastronomical sweetspot of the world. Everything to the west of them is too sweet, everything to the east to salty.
Which is factually incorrect.
True I'm frow sweden😂
@@Rihnoswirl It's almost like they expect to have something with the salt and the sweetness (also bread is bread its not a fucking cake you don't put 2 cups of artificial sweetener in it...So yea american bread is too sweet, I'm not even British.)
You say they are weak, those fuckers lived off British food for hundreds of years, the rest of you cant even handle one meal of it.
Yeah cause they live on sweet things and that is badically the most bland taste for the tastebuds. Salt is a "shock" and we Swedes love that! That's why we fill our candy with a surprise pop of salt
And I still think the bucket should have a sign that says "TRIED" not "Try"
Oh my God yes! That would be perfect!
Please comment this on every single video until they MAKE IT HAPPEN.
not bad or "TRY-ED" or "TRY-D" or "TRYD"
maybe it is TRY for TRY NOT TO PUKE ;)
@3:22 I love Lena's honesty "I would put them in a bowl, wait for my friends to arrive, hide them, then eat them when they're gone."
Thank you unnamed Swedish person.
From the bottom of your vomit bin 🤢
Thank you, or f*** you?🤣
Dermot sucks.
@@rayberto1826 The TRY army gather their pitchforks in response to this blasphemy.
Finally another TASTE LIKE ASS...that should be your catch phrase
As a true Swede I LOVE salt and salmiak/liqourice! It's a real deal in Sweden. We are raised on stuff like that. But the true salmiak are Djungelvrål.
Nope, the only true Salmiak, is Salmiakki from Finland....sorry.
@@sotkajarvi Its true, but a Swede loves it nearly so much salmiak that a Finnish people do..
@@darkiee69 not anymore.. 😉
@@LillaJag That's true. Djungelvrål is great with the salty/sweet flavour whilst Salmiakki is well just Salmiakki! 🤣
I'm Swedish and I didn't realize Djungelvrål was such a hype. I find them rather tame. Sure the salty coating is tasty but then you're just stuck with a tasteless lump. I like my licorice to be salty all the way through :P
In Sweden we like salty stuff, because we cured alot of our food with salt back in the days to make it last over the long cold winters. So that made us develop an appetite for salty things.
Damn that actually sounds true
But doesn't cold already conserve everything better ? Following this logic people in the middle east should drink water directly from the sea and be fine with it
Cured lots of things in salt here too, but people soaked it out before eating 😂
@@menalgharbwalsharq648 yes it does, but we had to gather food in the summer for the winter to survive. we cant like grow wheat, potatoes and stuff inte the winter.
”Salt” is actually ammonium chloride in other terms called salmiak. And not real ocean salt. It is something we scandinavians have enjoyed for a long time.
No. On these candies it is actually salt as in ocean or table salt. As in sodium chloride. No ammonium chloride. The salt skum has sodium chloride on the outside and then the inner foam is flavored with salmiak (ammonium chloride) and sugar among other things so on that one you are partially correct.
Salt and salmiak it different things.
@@MathiasWesterlund Bit late, but i found the comment super weird since i eat these somewhat often and would bet my life they arent covered in regular salt (sodium chloride, or natriumklorid in Sweden), so i had to look it up. Long story short, no salt (NACl) on or in these.

I mean... except for the durian that could actually taste quite nice :'D

They're so weak, can't even handle salt lol. That kind of candy is do normal here in Sweden, we grow up on it. Yummy 😁
Then there's America, who will cover anything in citric acid powder and make kids murder their taste buds. You can't get anything salty here...
@@jackson5802 What's the matter, can't handle a little sour candy?
@@sonikku956 I love sour candy under safe and responsible circumstances. It's the best kind of candy. It's when my classmates are idiots with warheads that I get concerned/annoyed

This is accurate as hell, cuz im a swede and ive been waiting for this video.
You're not wrong, haha. I'm half disappointed whomever it was that sent it didn't send djungelvrål though.
The letter was a declaration of war. They honeypotted you with the first two, them BAM! The salt snacks were the first wave of attacks.
But the Oreo Bites are just a rebranding of the American cookie, distributed by a Swedish division of the American company Mondelez International (formerly the snacks/gum/sweets division of Kraft Foods International). Marabou is a legacy Swedish chocolate company, founded in 1916, that that Kraft acquired for market share purposes in 1993. (I used to work for the legal division of Kraft that became Mondelez. It was a lot of fun, as we got to sample all of the European chocolate companies they acquired. Yum! No salted licorice, though, tack Gud!)
I expect the 2nd and final round to contanl a specific can of fish that must be opened out doors, if you know what I'm meaning. ;)
@@dragonlvr069 surströmming isn't really a snack tho, its something I'd rather have in a wrap with Västerbottensost and snaps or have it with potatoes. Also you can open it without stinking your home or kitchen up not that hard.

IceMetalPunk You’re on to me...
I was bothered by the lack of...colourful euphemisms from Justine in this episode. Thank you for correcting this in the comments.
Justine, I love you, but I can smell the bullshit from behind my touchscreen
"try swedish snacks"
"Is this Spanish????"
Bruh
timestamp?
I facepalmed so hard on that one.
@Electro Power how the hell could that be a joke? not even a child from kindergarten would pass that off as a joke.
THATS WHAT I SAID
Love how EVERYONE always compare ammonium chloride with sodium chloride as if it even tastes remotely the same.
Thank you. Im always a bit bothered that no one ever points it out to the people trying it. Its not table salt, its a completely different chemical compound, which probably explains why they get so shocked. If it was covered in regular salt they would most likely still find it disgusting (pretty sure i would too), but i bet they would at least recognize the taste and not have to instantly projectile vomit it out of their mouths...
Have you tasted pure ammonium chloride? I have. It does taste quite similar to pure sodium chloride, main difference is that it's sharper. It also doesn't have off tastes from other minerals (like sea or rock salt, where they are desired) or iodine (iodized salt) which many regular table salts have. Salmiac in candy form tastes very different from the pure form because its always mixed with sugar, and usually typically licorice root.
Yes they are different compounds, but chemically speaking, they are both a salt. So they are not wrong, technically ;)
I know, right? I can't believe that these people think that salt tastes the same as salt. Crazy world.
@@tylisirn absolutely I have. I have made it myself from ammonium and hydrochloric acid and I've had store bought. It tastes nothing like sodium chloride.
Being swedish I can just confirm that we love our salty snacks here. Those Salt Ferrari is my favourite candy!
Shannon and callyann. What a wild and crazy combination. You could power a small city with that much energy.
It's pretty much the female version of Paddy and Irish Jesus.
I was in Sweden six times now and the best part for me are the "mix it yourself" sweets stations :D
Lösviktsgodis is the shit =)
Hell yeah I stocked up on like a week's supply of liquor chocolates. De smakar sååååååå jävla goda!
Hell yeah! Other countries need to get on our level.
@@LadyAurian I don't think we in the US are gonna anytime soon! I'm actually trying to find a job there now, talked to Arbetsförmedlingen and everything. :v
@@dissident1337 yes. Our choose your own candy sections is the real deal!
"Where's the fookin' bin?!?" ---Dermot, 2020.
It's not just Sweden, I'm from Denmark and my favorite candy is salty liquorice 💕 and my favourite thing to do is to offer it to unsuspecting Americans at conventions waiting for their reaction as I eat a few more myself. It is some of my loveliest memories from conventions ❤️
Sadist 🤣
As a Swede, it is always fun to offer jungle roar when I am traveling. It is salty licorice, a very Swedish taste. But we have good chocolate too and it is more appreciated
I’m Swedish and I laughed so hard when I saw how they reacted to the “salty” candy😂😂
I love how Lena's various accents combine and make her sound like she's doing an impression of someone from Boston.
I'm Swedish and I love salty liquorice! It's f*king awesome!
I'm always amused to see other people gag and exclaim "What the actual eff, Sweden!" 😅
I lived in Norway and went to Sweden to shop and I despised the salted sweets I have never been able to understand people liking them but they do, I miss Norway and Sweden so much.
In today's news: Swedish snacks assault the Tryers. Phlegm after the break.
"Are Oreos Swedish?"
"Aye, but they make the filling with herring!"
It's the marabou chocolate brand that's swedish... 👍
More likely finely powdered and formed sea salt.....WTF Is with the salt?
@@grayman404 Old Scandinavian tradition, to salt fish for storing and butter as well. But salted rye bread is glorious :)
The deal with salty licorice is that it tastes so good!! I love it. The more salt the better. Sometimes i just lick off the salt and then throw it away just to take a new piece and lick off the salt 😊
I'm on board with buying snacks, inviting all my friends and hiding all the good snacks until they've gone. Winning tip from Lena there!
Watching their reactions to those candies that are fairly weak in saltines makes me glad they didn't get the real stuff, like Djungelvrål.
@brainspoil Djungelvrål is amazing! But not for the weak or beginners of trying salt-snacks.
Djungelvrål is pretty weak sauce too if you ask me. Salty hard skulls from the lösviktstation is where it's at. Whenever I visit friends from other countries I always bring a bag of swedish candy, and I put some skulls in there and just see if anyone tries one. The reactions are priceless :P And then that person promptly wants to do the same thing to all their friends to watch their reaction.
Oh I forgot about those, they are really yummy. Though, just like with Djungelvrål, once the exterior salt is gone they lose a lot of the bite.
@@LadyAurian or the salty "s" marks! Those can really destroy your mouth after a while
Djungelvrål is so addictive. The moment the ammonium chloride is gone, You'll just have to put another one into the mouth.
Girl:Trying swedish foods
Girl: reads back of package and sees it's not in English

@Electro Power 2:38
That was a real treat, thank you Try and unnamed Swedish person. I've long wanted to send you some of our delicious candy as I genuinely think Sweden has every other country beat when it comes to candy, but had to prioritize other things. It was wonderful to see someone else do it, so I got to enjoy watching some of my favorite people on youtube try some things I am familiar with. From me, to all of you, I'll have another salty skum so you don't have to.
Bless your hearts for trying! 😊 These aren't salty, they're salmiaky, which is a major acquired taste!
What's up with slamiak being an "aquired" taste? Loved it since I was a kid, never met anyone who "learned" to like it (like why even would you?)
It's like coffee, single malt, sour and just about every taste out there, you like it or you don't.
@@jeffmcgillisheiden794 Your anecdotal evidence doesn't trump someone else's. I hated coffee when I was younger, and now I really enjoy a good cup. Same with wine or any alcoholic drinks, really.
Edit: And why would you? Because it's a nice flavour to add, or goes well with certain social situations. Just getting water for your fika is way less boring than a nice cup of joe, and a well paired wine can really enhance a meal.
@@ajeenius7437 Wow, bold of you to assume I was trying to trumph him, he shared his experience and I mine, when did this turn into a competition? Why the defensiveness?
Calm your tits
@@jeffmcgillisheiden794 I know, I'm super bold.
Your phrasing and the use of quotation marks makes it sound very confrontational. On top of that you did literally ask a question that I provided an answer for. If you don't want answers to your comments you might want to rephrase them.
And I can assure you that my tits are chilled to the max.
@@ajeenius7437 You went beyond reading between the lines and went to a different book if that's how you interpreted the quotation marks my dude. And really - my phrasing? how in the world was that confrontational?
Take off those "everyone's out to argue"-lenses of yours.
And nowhere did I have an issue with you answering the question of why someone would "learn" to like something, I obviously use quotation marks for the simple reason of having to learn to like something is hilariously obsequious
(hah, learned a new word in english).
Also, phrasing could have to do with english being my third language - doesn't change that it's very bold of you to assume intent where there is none. And not bold in a positive way.
Lena's smile and laugh are contagious!
"It looks like a rocket" It's literally says "Ferrari" on the package🤦🏾♂️😁
@Deadpoppin AHAHAHHAHA YEAH LMAO
Well, Tesla makes rockets.. Kind of...
The fact that Justine is wearing a Duff t-shirt makes me really happy. I LOVE that the Try’ers are Simpson’s fans :)
Can I just say that Justine has some amazing shirts
trey Glenn Dermot usually does too. They are the awesome shirt team. Also they have great chemistry together
Shirts aside, Justine is just amazing.
It's good to see my favorite Try duo, Shannon and Callyann back together again. They work off each other really well
💚
Shannon's Description Of The Wave & Salt Water Always Gets Me 🤣😂
Justine and Dermot might be the best pairing you guys have come up with.
"Salt Skum, the second it touches you, BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH!" LOL
Love how the bottom of the description says “try is your new home”
Salty licorice is the best candy ever made, cant get enough of it. The Salt Skum is amazing! Love it!
The thing with the salt snacks are to get thru the salt to get to the sweet. And we enjoy it so we have a lot of different types of salt snacks. You get use to it in the end and then can not live without it.
"It's doing something to my soul that I don't like" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

Swedish person here. Salt skum is one of my favourite sweets of all time. Yes, I'm serious. They are divine. I live in the UK, so unfortunately I have to buy them online nowadays.
Oh Lena is here, yay! I feel like we haven't seen her in a while...
@ANGRYWOLVES sure its creepy but you're not wrong. She is gorgeous.
"skum" is literally foam. salted foam :D besides i loove them
As a kid I always had my fingers in the salt pot & not the sugar pot!
I love salted licorice!
I've seen "shavy skum".
Outside of "salt" what's the flavor of salt skum?
And
Are all the candies black and ominous?
Yaaas. I had two while watching the video. Nom nom.
Please, someone send these people a jar of "Svenskjävlar". It's basically a jar salmiak mayhem. Should be a lot of fun to watch.
I'm a Swede, and I LOVE salty sweets. The combination of salty and sweet is awesome
As a Swed, YES we like salted candy!
But y?!?! Lol honestly it’s just very interesting
@@deschainerideaux It kinda grows on you. I get salted licorice sometimes and it's definitely a slow-eating sweet but it's not like people don't eat all kinds of salty food. You just have to get over the cultural association.
Swede, not "Swed", dammit! 😤
@boh nj no, we are "pretty" healthy and kidney failure is not our "high" here
@@deschainerideaux because sweet candy are too sweet and back in the day we put everything that was food in salt because otherwise it would go bad. We had our "fridge" below ground and we prepped our meat with putting large layers of salt over it to prevent it from going bad
WINNERS = Justine (of course)and the girl with the best accent ever! LENA!!! AND Dermot, Donal, Shannon, and Callyann. I just love you guys, I always wait till you come on, then I start a little drinking and of course I am in California so you might be correct to read into that if ya know what I mean.😁😎
I am Swedish and lived in Australia for the past 10 years. The only thing I ever crave for and ask my mum to send me is salt licorice.
Omg rhe salt skum is the best. I got water in my mouth watching this
I JUST ORDERED A RESTOCK OF SWEDISH THINGS. I AM SO HAPPY ON SO MANY LEVELS. HI SWEDES!
Hello! Enjoy your Swedish things!
Hi there! :)
Aww the beauty of licorice, how can one not love it? ♥♥♥
By not growing up with it. To a lot of us it's like if you added some sugar to the taste of burnt rubber
I´m swedish and yes, we love salty and liquorice sweets. We have a long history of prevserving fish in salt and therefore have a high tolerance for salt :)
salty liquorice with raspberry (that's what "hallon" means) is wonderful!
Callyann and Justine BEST SHIRTS EVER IN WHOLE TH-cam!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a Swede it´s always so interesting seeing people´s reaction to liqurice/salty candy. I can understand but it´s not that bad as you make it out to be :)
Also the original Ferrari-candy is only with raspberry taste (hallon) and is really good.
I need to send you guys some sweet liqurice and good Swedish candy when this is over.

Dermot is one of the funniest humans in existence.

Your Tryer pairings on this video are SOLID.
I like Fruity Pebbles. Never tried Salty Pebbles.
Salt candy is the thing I miss most from Sweden. By the way, you’re supposed to chew them, not lick them. Otherwise you just get the salt.
I’m from the Netherlands and we also have the salty snacks
Yummmm
I had a great laugh one summer bringing some over for my
British friends
Their “Thank You For the Music” rendition was hilarious and perfect.
Gotta love Sweden, definitely in the top 3 of Scandinavian countries, well depending on whether or not we count Finland, but clearly top 4.
i hate that i laughed at this joke
Finland is not part of Scandinavia, but "The North" as us swedes call it includes Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland :)
That is true, if we included Finland it would be Fenno-Scandinavia, but I felt the joke worked better this way.
@@crabshroom4121 very true
Wait, who in their right mind sends a package of Swedish snacks to someone and doesn't include Dumle?
Dumle görs av Fazer, som är ett finskt företag! Men jag tror vi äter mer Dumle i Sverige än Finland ^^
Or Daim or Ahlgrens bilar for that matter
@@flawmore Jo visst men Dumle uppfanns av Mazetti som sen köptes upp av Fazer.
This is why salt is added to sweet things. "Salt will reduce bitterness, but enhance sweet, sour and umami, which is desirable for sweet recipes."
Swedish people eat food with quite high salt level because of in the past when sweden was not a rich country we used salt to preserve food with salt and different kind of pickling. Thats why we still enjoy food that contain a high amount of salt or ammonium chloride what is used in salted candies
Cierra says, "I can taste some salt. I quite like it." She polishes off about 4 Salt Scum.
Oh my god yes we NEED a video of her trying salty licorice. I love the try gang and the split second taste before spitting out always makes me roar with laughter, but it would be fun to see someone actually take it like a bawse xD
When I was in Sweden the first time someone gave me the salted licorice I thought they were pranking me with a joke candy. After we cleared up the mystery that this was, in fact, a legitimate Swedish candy, they horrified when I revealed that North American candy did not contain salt. "But... but that's just *sugar*, then!"
The salted licorice grows on you after a while ( a very short while, truth be told).
Yeah, we just don't like the major sweetness that makes the mouth just draw itself together and you feel like shit eating that sweet candy
Watching this in Sweden, eating salty licorice. Good times.
Just seeing the bag of salt skum made my mouth water, I love them!
Well this explains why Rythian from the Yogscast is always so salty
to be fair, you guys got weaker versions of our salted candy. starter salt candy, baby salt candy 😘
Djungelvrål!!!!!
😬😳🤢
The ultimate lördagsgodis: Just a big ol’ bowl of salt.
@@Psykel That you dip popcorn in.
Seriously? What is the point of salted candy--that does not make sense to me
yay! Dermot+Christine is the best pair up,so many lols.
Swedes eat the most candy per capita in the world. The salty candy is us being on levels above in candy consumption you simply cant comprehend
My swedish friend used to have sea salt lolipops...
I honestly think your ancestors just tried fighting the ocean by drinking it, like how do you not die from so much salt.
i think we love salt bc in the olden days we used to put meat and fishes in salt to keep them from going bad. and that salted stuff is in our genes. in our heritage from the past. but you should have tasted more of our chocolate and savory snacks instead
Ahhh thank you for explaining! This is very interesting to learn!
As an American who claims no real knowledge of Sweden, this was my thought as well.
Salt, Lye and controlled rot. The unholy trinity of nordic nummies.
I mean... To be fair, that's essentially what Jerky is too.... Salt, seasoning, and heat (or some other form of dehydration).... And I've had salted meat and fish before. I admit, it's an acquired taste. But putting it on a gummy? I dunno about that...
You haven't even seen the REALLY salty candies we have. 😄 (Technically those are Finnish, though)
Mikael Heed So what is the attraction to salty licorice?
@@samiam619 you grow into it,like whiskey. U dont really like a glass of whiskey when you are 5 y/o but when u are 20+ its kinda ok . Little like licorice,u learn to like it.
Sam I am to top it off they also use ammonium chloride salt on candies and snus. It is a weird experience. It has an astringent tingle feeling. They call it Salmiak.
Their snus the first time I tried it, all I could taste was salt. But you get used to it and it becomes quiet pleasant. Even the weird ammonium chloride salt becomes a won’t say good but a different enjoyable experience lol
@@xxxSlavetraderxxx As someone from Kentucky I can tell you that boubon and whiskey have flavor. Swedish candy seems to be one note on the flavor scale. Why so much salt?
Mikael Heed, Finland is happy to share all our tasty salty candies with our beloved neighbour Sweden ❤
This is just a theory, but I think we swedish people like salty candy and things like that because of our history in food. We used to preserve our food in salt A LOT because of our weather. The swedish weather is sunny about 3 months, and the rest of the year it is either raining or snowing. So we had to preserve the food we could find during the summer, and salt was a good way to preserve the food. Like fish and things like that. So because of that, swedish people generally like salty food, and salty candy :)
Dermot looks like a young Father Jack "Durink!!" Off of Father Ted, before he started drinking hard

@@Platypustaunter I meant FJ but I can see your p.o.v on the Dermot side.
Feck off

although Dermot doesn’t have Mrs. Doyle pushing tea on him like a crack dealer :)
“That is not a car I want in me” umm...
The thing with salt in Scandinavia, is that in older times, we mostly only have salt to preserve food for longer times.
Take fish for example, we stack fish in layers in barrels, with salt between every layer, to preserve fish.
Other ways to preserve food, was through fermentation, like fermented herring.
Therefore we are more use to the salty flavour, I'll guess.
This was hilarious to watch when you tasted the salty candy. It is very special as I know from first hand. Canadian living in Sweden and like the salty candy but in moderate doses.
Yeah we do not like it it moderate doses 😂
Dermot yeay!!! Oh oh togheter with Justine! That's going to be good!
As a person from Sweden, this is really weird to watch. I love this "salty" stuff.
When I wants a really salty snack.. Its better I not told you
That look on Shannon's face from the Salt Skum,totally priceless!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
The only thing better than a fresh lump of skum is skum coated in salt. You know, like a piece of asphalt that has been rolled around in salt. Wonderful.
Swedish vikings,dannish vikings & finnish lions can handle salty liquorice! 💪😎
While the Norwegians just gnaw on dried salted codfish. Yum! 😟
Bc all you guys do is eat salted 🐟 fish, so salt everything else. Portuguese are known for salted cod, even they turned anise into a sweet alcohol.
Lena seems like so much fun!
Dude my Swedish boss just got a care package from home. All of her snacks were salted black licorice. So unbelievably salty
The salt is ammonium chloride. We had a jar of it in my house and used to dip stuff innit. Offensive to the tongue if never tried before, but so good once you embrace it. Yummy!
thank you unnamed swedish person. for getting partially vengeance for that ungodly monstrosity karelian pie, irish version of it. which was in finnish food video.
