Ha ha. Though Americans have generally a fun reaction to salty licorice the most extreme one is actually from a french guy. A friend of mine worked in an international office (I don't remember what country) where people from various nationalities worked. They all put candy and snacks from their homecountries on a communal table in the break room for everyone to eat from during the work day. My friend, being swedish, put a small bowl of 'djungelvrål' among the other candy and snacks. Later she heard an enraged howl from the break room where a french guy had apparently grabbed a few and chomped down... he was not amused and demanded it be removed. To him, salt on candy was equal to child abuse.

Salty licorice is quite popular in Sweden and Finland, I like it a lot. The ultimate power move is tricking foreigners into trying Tyrkisk Peber(turkisk peppar/turkish pepper) lol. You get both the ammonium chloride and spice, they taste pretty much like a punch to the face even when you like them. Läkerol is something you'd usually have to clear up your airways if you're a bit stuffy, or to counter bad breath. They're basically candy cough drops, which is why you usually don't down the entire bag at once(some of them are really delicious though, hard to stay away lol).

As a Swede I love salty licorice, especially the Swedish Fish kind and Pirat Pengar (Pirate money). I’ve never had licorice YUP so now I have to try it! 🤩 Too much licorice is not good for your blood pressure though. Funny how you compare everything (almost) to pickles - I find that so disgusting! 🤮 I bought the Juleskum Apple & Cinnamon candy last Christmas and didn’t care for it at all.

It depends upon the American. Our pallets are diverse as we have a HUGE country and many many subcultures within it. The food you get down South is not the same as NY and NY food isn't the same as Boston. These guys featured are from the Midwest. You can get alligator meat in Florida and grits, and up north you get beans and hash browns. Pizza in Chicago is deep dish like in a pastry shell while NY style pizza is on a thin flatbread.

This was fun :) Swede here, love all licorice, especially saltlakrits (the salty kind) Loved Hockey Pulver as a kid as well, just ate the powder as it is (Realizing now that that wasn't perhaps very healthy). Sometimes i dipped licorice lollipops in it ;)

Meagan you as an American who have eaten alot of Swedish chocolate what do you think about Hershey? Also Daniel is right about the Popcorn ruines the chocolate, they should have tried the original plain Marabou.

I did love salty (salmiak) licorice already as a kid! You need to be a bit careful with it, though. Too much is really unhealthy for you. Licorice gives you high blood pressure, and the salt is kind of corrosive for your teeth and gum. The YUP ones are sugar free and from a classic "throat candy" company, and not my first choice for salty licorice candy. I do enjoy them too, though. The Dumle company, Fazer, is actually Finnish, but it's a popular brand and they sell a lot in Sweden. I LOVE the Hockey Puck candy (salmiak powder!). I think it's supposed to be eaten as you did with the finger, but when I buy it (as a grown up) I use a tea spoon. 😅

Nice video, always fun to see people try our candy :)

People tasting different candies never gets old! 😁 I love watching the reactions, especially if it's stuff you know yourself. 😆 Some years ago I sent a box full of Swedish candy and Christmas related foodstuff to a friend in Japan and her family. It was a blast hearing about them tasting it. Dillchips and ginger cookies are their new favorites but the salty licorice didn't go down well as expected.

I'm from Sweden. There was a few I never had, and cant' say they are common. Kexchoklad is very common, but that's a thing between candy and a snack. Daim is great, but I enjoy darker chocolates now when I'm older. Läckerol to me is mostly for a fresh feel in my mouth, like a breath mint. That YUP though with salt sounds out of wack, and not interesting. My favorite potato chips is chili cheese. I prefer chocolate between 40 and 85%.

Yes, we LOVE salty liquorice! The saltier, the tastier :D To us, it's not salty as it is for you. We're so used to the taste so it's both sweet and salty to us, but I can understand the reaction tasting it for the first time. :)

It's a variety show... Zed, my wife says that too!

"it's a good ratio". I think he meant it's lagom haha

Hazelnut in EU became popular because in ww2 the ability to get coco plants for chocolate was scarce and to compensate they add hazelnut paste that is close. This was also done in the USA to a lesser degree and GIs would give them to kids for PR .
