Søtt, salt og sprøtt. Sweet, salty and crunchy. Just like you said. Kvikk lunsj pronunciation quick lunch.

[@NordicReactions]

Thank you! 😂

[@Daisysmum]

I saw you had to had more than one😅 it good you bought xxl bag😅👍

[@tommonsen965]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 so funny to see u go back for more and more and more , the Smash commercial say * you can't only have one

[@knutbrgund4665]

That was what I was thinking too 🙂

[@norXmal]

4:09 - You guessed it right, that's what "søtt, salt & sprøtt" means "Sweet, Salty & Crispy"

[@Alice_in_artsupply_hoarderland]

Hahaha, see!! You can't only have one 😂

[@huldradraco]

one of the reasons it's so "addictive" is because it covers all three things our bodies instinctively crave. salt, sweet and fat. our brains just go YES, MORE! 😂😂

[@In_my_own_mind]

Smash! is a chocolate snack from Nidar's chocolate factory in Trondheim. The product consists of salty, deep-fried corn kernels covered in Norwegian milk chocolate. Smash was launched in 1988, but it wasn't until the mid-2000s that sales took off. In 2006, Smash was Norway's third best-selling chocolate.

[@thenorseguy2495]

Smash are dangerous. It’s like Pringles. Once you pop you can’t stop😂

[@Juicehose]

There goes your diet out the window. 😂🎉 Party on with SMASH !

[@torbenkristiansen2742]

Lunsj is just a Norwegian spelling of lunch. Quick Lunch. It's pretty straightforward.

[@Mosern1977]

Hehe, good reaction to Smash. Its addictive. I prefer it stored in a refrigerator, but it works good in room temperature also.

[@NordicReactions]

Yeah, you're right! After this review I stored it in the fridge and it's even better

[@venorando3672]

Nidar is the company behind Smash. Their "motto" for the Smash brand is "Det skal godt gjøres å spise bare en", which basically translates to "Good luck eating JUST one!". They're addictive and delicious AF!

[@Daisysmum]

Next time in bergen you have to bring an empty bag to stash this in home☺️ yes norway have very good chocolate, nothing artificial👍

[@AegeanGaming]

Well this just proves that you cant just have one 😂

[@Atlas_Redux]

I'm not really into non-sour sweets, but even I have issues not finishing a Smash bag all in one XD

[@rolsen1304]

Smash will be our major export when oil and salmon ends, mark my word ;)

[@95angel100]

Not sure if you've seen the good old Norwegian Smash commercials or not, but they're usually easier to understand once you've given it a try 😂🙈

[@ASMRNordic]

We also have a kind without chocolate. It`s called sombreros and has a cheesy taste. Also if you like tortilla chips, you should try Maarud Tortilla Cheese. It wipes the floor with doritos.^^,

[@Naztash]

Yes, they're corn based bugels covered in chocolate. So you get salt, starch and sweet/chocolate. Which is a combination that is hard to resist.

[@NorthernNorway]

Gotta watch the Smash commercials

[@HURRIC4NEyt]

Haha as a Norwegian I can confirm Smash is addictive as hell. Eat it legit every saturday

[@venorando3672]

Comparing Kit Kat and Kvikk Lunsj is seen as a horrendous crime in Norway! And saying that Kit Kat is better is even worse! Kvikk Lunsj is like a FAAAAR higher quality and much tastier version of Kit Kat. Much higher quality chocolate, and the wafers are much crisper and snappier! The wafers in Kit Kat feel a bit soggy in comparison to me, and the chocolate is very clearly of low quality!

[@mar97216]

Bought a kitkat on holiday in england as a kid. Couldn’t finish it, and it was candy.. as a kid😅. Never had it since, it just tastes lile cardboard and calendar chocolate.

[@kaia16]

😂glad you liked it.

[@X_ch4ng3]

"I do'nt know what salt, søtt, sprøtt means" 4:10 (salt sweet, crunchy) 😊👍

[@SaraKvammen-tx7qc]

Smash is soooo good !

[@Henrik_Holst]

Is also sold in Sweden but then under the OLW brand (who does crisps and cheese doodles) which was a Swedish brand until it was sold to Norwegian food conglomerate Orkla (who owns Nidar who invented Smash).

[@In_my_own_mind]

Smash was launched in 1988, but it wasn't until the mid-2000s that sales took off. In 2006, Smash was Norway's third best-selling chocolate. In 2008, Smash was also launched in Finland, distributed through the Finnish licorice and chocolate company Panda. In Sweden marketing Smash by snack manufacturer OLW…

[@oh515]

Yes, I believe we still have bugles in Norway, but most of us buy the ones covered with chocolate.

[@mar97216]

Well the Norwegian version.. some off brand stuff maybe and sombreros. But they are sort of cheesy spice flavored

[@oh515]

@@mar97216 OK! They were normal when I was young for 30+ years ago.

[@mar97216]

@@oh515 I don’t think I have had Bugles other than when in other countries. Maybe a couple places with more rare imported snacks. I prefer Sombrero to Bugles but they are pretty good too. Different flavor

[@lindastraumsnes9676]

Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴. I love smash and it’s impossible to stop with just one bite . I think the kvikk lunsj is less sweeter than kit cat.

[@Sour84-t9y]

Yess I was thinking Bugles!! But didnt know if you have that in the UK. Bugles with chocolate 😋

[@BengtIvarOlsen]

As you said, salt, søtt og sprøtt which means salty, sweet and crunchy 😁👍🏻

[@TomKirkemo-l5c]

I don't eat snacks. Not for health reasons, I just don't like most of it. I like food, meat, fish, potatoes and so on. But Smash is good. :)

[@ahkkariq7406]

It's definitely addictive. I can't buy it for that exact reason.

[@Telruin]

Hm... I suddenly have to go to the store for...*Think of some non Smash stuff to buy* Other... things... *Nailed it*

[@rickybuhl3176]

Smash - I can stop whenever I want. Just so happens I don't 'want' until the bag is empty.. And yeah - [Good] Choccy Bugles is exactly what they are. Slightly weird how more-ish they are than Bugles though (for me at least).

[@pumagutten]

Paul, from 4:10 to 4:13 you say what it says on the bag: søtt, salt og sprøtt.

[@NordicReactions]

😂🤣 in the same order?

[@ahkkariq7406]

@@NordicReactions You said "salty, sweet, crunchy". The same order would be "sweet, salty and crunchy".

[@NordicReactions]

lol, that's crazy, I had no idea what those words meant 😅 🤣

[@jannekristinehubenettekris1601]

Søtt = sweet Salt = Salt Sprøtt = crunchy 🤗

[@Gravityfool]

Corn cones/chips are common in a lot of places all around the world, but I suppose the American Bugles are what you're talking about. Smash is indeed just slightly salty corn chips, covered in delicious milk chocolate from Nidar, a Trondheim-based company that started in 1912. This was also the same factory that made Smash in the 1980's. Nidar as a whole make various kinds of both chocolate and other candy.

[@Rune-y7u]

U need to keep them in the fridge. Trust me. They are way better chilled

[@creosl]

Next blue Stratos?

[@afre3398]

Did you also come to a conclusion about the tap water. As many said the trick is to run it until it feels cold on your hand. That way you will not get stagnant water trapped in the pipes

[@NordicReactions]

I tried it 3 times and it still had the after taste, even when the receptionist gave me a cup, he let it run a while. The taste was less, though. Those videos will be out soon

[@afre3398]

@@NordicReactions That was strange but well if you did not like it. It is perfectly OK. People tend to prefer what they are somewhat used to. I live in Oslo and I almost never buy water

[@NordicReactions]

I guess, but in this case, it actually had an aftertaste of chlorine. Some people also said that in the news they advised boiling the water in Oslo

[@BastianNorW]

Smash is amazingly good! But the chocolate? Well, in my opinion it’s the worst Norwegian chocolate. Tastes sort of American. Freia is the best Norwegian chocolate. Smash is addictively good though

[@ahkkariq7406]

I agree Freia is best, but I prefer Nidar over Hval.

[@UltimaSRi]

what about that "SMASH and like button"?

[@RobbEsspisi]

Norway don't make their own Bugles outside of the Smash, but we can get importet Lay's... If you want to taste only the chocolate, I think the closest would be Stratos Melkesjokolade from the same company making Smash (Nidar).

[@NordicReactions]

Thanks!

[@Fraternizing_Cog]

But we do make them here... Forgotten about Sombreros?

[@rowaystarco]

Do we not have Sombreros in anymore?

[@the_oslovian]

How many channels do you have? Hence plaques in the back 😄

[@NordicReactions]

4 daily active channels 😁😊
