I'm fully convinced Finland has tricked tourists into thinking Salmiakki is actually popular, but no one actually eats it

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.

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.

@lukalaa1764 Год назад

Especially salmiakki, we finns know for a fact foreigners are not used to the taste, so seeing their reaction is part of the enjoyment!

@0Quiwi0 Год назад

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

@Aquelll Год назад

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).

@herrakaarme Год назад

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 RU-vid videos where foreigners taste it for the first time. That never gets old.

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.

@eugenepowerhouse2487 Год назад

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.

@ryker_azareth Год назад

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.

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 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!

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. 🙂

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

My bet was on pihlaja and the geisha chocolate bar.. so hit and a miss. Thanks for the nice video 👍

As a HUGE chips enthusiast I was somewhat dissappointed that you took the two most basic snacks with you. I think there would've been a lot more to offer! 😃 Anyway, very fun video, you have a lovely team!

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.

@Doppeldropper Год назад

Nice reactions 😁... how about doing a reaction video with that salmiakki on your army buddies next 😅?

I quess the figure in Pihlaja-candy is a fox. I recall those as foxcandys and my uncle always bought those for us. 🇫🇮

@s1n1 Год назад

My kid would be jumping on the walls if she got that much sugar on a one sitting. 🤣

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.

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.
