As a swede, watching both of these videos, I almost cringed when I saw it was a lot of generic ICA brand stuff, and just regular candy, but you seemed to love it, wich means I am a bit spoiled by having those as every day items.

The S märke surt skum is supposed to resemble the stickers which was sitting on cars in the back to show that you are a tourist if you were driving in another country. Many european countries had thise stickers in the 80ies, even GB. Nothing to do with supermarket. Skum means foam. Nice page you have there!

ICA is the biggest and most popular supermarket chain in Sweden. So basically “ICA” is ICAs own brand, which means cheaper products with the same quality as the brand leading products ☺️ (although some are better than others😂 but that’s the idea)

@epettersson80

@@snowyfall753 The comment was general about ICAs own line of products. Not EVERYTHING has to have a counter part but many things do, like Heinz ketchup, Kelloggs Frosties , Zeta olive oils etc. Then there’s the Swedish brand leading companies like Arla, Kungsörnen, Felix etc, which ICA often have a cheaper alternative to as well. But as I said, not EVERYTHING has a brand leading counter part - that’s just the marketing of the Supermarkets own line of products ☺️ “Cheaper but just as good” kind of ☺️

You should ask someone to send Aladdin a box of chocolates. It is a box with 100 chocolate pralines in 13 different varieties, which many buy for Christmas (Christmas tradition) Can be nougat filling, strawberry filling, liqueur and more Every Christmas, 2 million Aladdin chocolate boxes are sold A few years ago, a chocolate variety was replaced in the box. One person had an older Aladdin chocolate box left unopened. He received 15,000 SEK for it (1000 British pounds) So lovely is Aladdin's chocolate box in Sweden for sweeds , But in the store it costs 70 SEK approximately, 5 British pounds. It's Marabou who makes Aladdin. The same manufacturer that makes the chocolate you end this video with. They've been doing Aladdin since 1939 Every Swede has eaten Aladdin I have never seen anyone test Aladdin when they test Swedish Candy. And would have been very interesting to see it.

The pineapple one was really good until I got to the aftertaste, which was one of the worst I've ever tasted. My face was exactly like that lady that tries kombucha. Love the other ones though!

1:56 The lemon sponge cake is so good and that it is a cheap brand. Ica is one of our most common brands we shop from.

Kola = toffee, taffy, caramel and it is a flavour, as in toffee or caramel, but it's also used for candy with that type of softish chewy consistency so you could have hallonkola which is a raspberry flavoured chewy candy with no toffee flavour.

You should try the raspberry toffees together with the liquorice ones - raspberry and liquorice is an amazing combo!

You guys just popped up in my recommended and boy am I happy you did! Thanks for entertaining videos and Swedish taste tests resonate extra well with me, being a Swede ;)

Ica is a Huge chain of convieniance/supermarket stores here and that brand is the basic brand or like a bit higher than basic, But Still far from THE best stuff they have :)

Marabou is actually my favourite an im a brit too! I always buy some for my swedish lecturer

U seem to have such a genuine relationship

The best before date can be if you dont open the package before the date, sometimes only 4 days when opened. But it will be texted on another part of the package

Sooo fun that ICA is a convenience store brand

The Gott & Blandat (big liquorice brand) bag, says äkta frukt on the front which means "real fruit" your description is pretty accurate, they are halfway between a fruit liquorice and fruit leather (roll-ups). Personally I dont love the texture and prefer thier normal range.

I just have to say that a 100 % chocolate bar is sweeter than a 90-95 % chocolate bar, because it has retained all it's natural sugar and chocolate fat. It's amazing!

as an swede some of those candies are in my cabinet every saturday-sunday

Oha - "Maoam" (pronounced “Ma-o-am”) is a brand of the german confectionery manufacturer Haribo. (Wikipedia)

funny thing is, ica is our most common grocery store, and they have those packed "fresh" pastries, but also they have real fresh pastries that you pick and put in paper bags

S märke is called that simply because the candy is shaped like the S marks that swedish cars has on them. Just like you guys have GB on yours. 😊

I'm so excited every time you guys upload a new video! I love your channel! I have been here since "in the kitchen with Kate" and it's still one of my favorite channels!! ❤🙌🏻

Awesome video. For us in Sweden, candy isn't always about being sweet. It is about tickling the palate in different ways, hence you go between sweet, sour and salty (hence much of the salty candy). Also you want to some to be crunchy/crispy, some to be soft and others to be chewy! So it is always an adventure of flavours and textures. Hence the difference in candy culture. Swede's are some of the highest consumers of candy per capita, and we take it very seriously! You will also notice how many things will switch flavour whilst you eat it. For example, some will start very salty, but once you get passed that it switches to sweet (and vice-versa). Let me know if there's something particular you would like to try and I will get it for you!

There's thousands of candy flavors in Sweden since we have the pick & mix sweets concept that it truly makes it difficult to even try them all. We all grow up with different experiences when it comes to candy and it slightly alters the Swedish population's sweets preference. If you were to ask the top 5 favorites of random people on the streets, without them talking to each other, I don't think you would get the same answers.
