When I was first in Finland we binged watched all your food-related videos, went to K-Market and bought the same candy, biscuits, and drinks that you tried in order to recreate them (but in our case, a Mexican instead of a Brit reacting)! It has been a very fun experience and we're looking forward to more suomalainen snack recommendations from you. PS: Thanks for warning me about salmiakki before walking straight into the trap.

    That´s the original taste Dave 😄. At those times it was kind of normal to watch youtube videos where foreigners tasted salmiakki or other finnish candies, food, alhocohol etc.. Usualy no-one could eat salmiakki or even liquiris and most spitted out. I personaly don´t usualy eat candy, but when i do it is salmiakki, lakritsi or chocolate. I don´t kno why, but we finnish people are always interested how foreigners like finnish things and how & what do they think about it. Well as a kidd living couple years in Sweden i like to watch same things about Sweden as well. It´s also interesting to see what kind differences there are even thou swedish people are in most things very similar as we are here.
