I Review Icelandic Candy

Iceland is a wonderful place that sells candy. So I'm going to review their candy and hope that I develop a strong preference for licorice as I do.

[@Unova39]

In case anyone is curious some of the reasons why Icelandic candy is so heavy on the licorice are that it is very hard to grow crops in Iceland (shocking, I know) so licorice was one of the few things the early Scandinavian settlers could grow, and at various times in history (mainly during times of economic hardship) the Icelandic government banned candy imports because they produced their own candy. So it's very much a cultural and agricultural product.

[@thend4427]

​@aylavall9483 the whistle was what mark made lol

[@sherwinashford]

Hey! I'm so glad you've tried the melody pops at 18:02! I'm not Nordic but this was one of my go-to childhood candies in the Middle East. It's definitely not from Iceland though. I barely blew into it, but man, I did enjoy sucking it off!

[@ladyrainicorn007]

OMGGG MARKIPLIER IVE BEEN SUCH A FAN SINCE 2015 AND IM ICELANDIC😭😭❤LOVE YOU

[@JonazDrumBrain]

Ok so, 8 candies on that list are Icelandic, so 14 candies that weren’t, 13 were guessed correctly, 6 of them were actually Icelandic, so 2 Icelandic candies he didn’t identify correctly, Jólaköttur and Stjörnurúlla (1st and 5th candies). The liquorice straw is usually paired with Appelsín, a local orange soda (at Christmas Appelsín is also traditionally blended together with Malt for a blend that is pretty popular here at Christmas time)

[@tatersoup]

I was thinking, it would be nice to actually find out what the flavors are and which were actually Icelandic.

[@BionicNueroPixie]

I came here looking for an Icelandic person to tell us the truth behind the candies and how well Mark did with it. Why are they so salty?

[@SilverScreenTimeMachine]

I'm sorry, APPELsin is the name of an orange soda?

[@ann_onn]

@@SilverScreenTimeMachine Appelsin is the Danish word for an orange. Literally, it's a Chinese apple.

[@JonazDrumBrain]

@@tatersoup The Icelandic candies were the first one, Jólaköttur (a chocolate covered wafer with caramel and balls of puffed rice). The third one, Trítlar (fruit-flavoured gummies). The fifth one, Stjörnurúlla (a Marsipan Liquorish roll). The twelfth one, Súper Sett (Chocolate covered liquorice bits, a derivetive of a candy called Eitt Sett where it was a seperate bar of chocolate and a small plate of liquorice). The Thirdteenth one, Ópal (flavoured pastilles, usually with some sort of liquorice flavour and some others blended in as well, though never in the same pastille, in this case he got a package with Liquorice and Lemon, the yellow pastilles being the Lemon-flavoured ones). The Fifteenth one, Djöflar (Filled Liquorice, no idea what the filling is unfortunately, but my best guess would be some sort of marsipan, and covered with Salmiak). The Seventeenth one, Risa Þristur (Chocolate covered caramel with Liquorice). And lastly the 21st, Lakkrísrör (A liquorice straw).

[@ericmathis4309]

So fun fact: there is a popular flavor combination in a lot of Scandinavian countries (which btw is more popularly associated with Finland,) called Salmiakki which consists of licorice, salt, and ammonium chloride. It kinda tastes like you ate a handful of black licorice and salt right before cleaning a not-well-ventilated room with a lot of bleach

[@HierisSebas05]

It tastes really good.

[@explodingbarrelproductions2292]

​@@HierisSebas05 here here!

Its also a dutch thing! Salmiak and drop (licorice)

I just love the awkward zoom ins on marks face. That and the little candy whistle in between each different type of candy added so much comedic value. Lixian does his job well

The Nordics and Europe in general share a lot of their candies among each other, hence why it can be difficult to find what's authentic from that certain country. Since I knew the majority of the candy and had time to waste, here's a list for those that wondered the origin of the candies: 1- 2:51 - Iceland(Jóla Villiköttur - Freyja) 2- 4:17 - Sweden(Franssons konfektyrer AB) 3- 6:40 - Iceland(Nói Sírius - but currently owned by Norwegian company) 4- 8:58 - UK(Sweet Bandit - sneaky bubbledust) 5- 11:29 - Iceland(APPOLO LAKKRÌS - Tjörno Rúlla) 6- 13:13 - Denmark(Mols Bolsjer - Chokolade & Pebermynte - Thanks to @Karaleecupcake) 7- 15:00 - Denmark(Tyrkisk Peber - Fazer, originally Danish but owned by Finnish Fazer) 8- 17:59 - Spain(Melody Pops - Chupa Chups) 9- 20:16 - Sweden(Franssons konfektyrer AB - Mushroom nipples) 10- 21:51 - Sweden(Hockey Pulver - Grahns konfektyr) 11- 23:18 - Germany(Pinballs - Maoam) 12- 24:31 - Iceland(Súper sett - Nói Siríus - Norwegian owned) 13- 25:51 - Iceland(Opal - Nói Siríus) 14- 28:27 - Denmark(Mols Bolsjer - Bismarks Klumper - Thanks to @Karaleecupcake) 15- 31:14 - Iceland(Djöflar - Freyja) 16- 33:50 - Belgium(Tubble Gum - Lutti - Currently owned by German company) 17- 35:25 - Iceland(Risa Þristur) 18- 36:28 - Denmark(Skolekridt) 19- 37:43 - Finland(Tyrkisk Peber - Fazer - Made during Finnish ownership) 20- 40:22 -Netherland(Frisia - From Frisian parts of Netherlands) 21- 42:06 - Iceland(APPOLO LAKKRÌS - Lakkrisrör) 22- 45:38 - Denmark(Lakrids by Bülow)

With regards to that sneaky gum, that reminds me of the legend of I believe KitKats?

prepare for long read the first one is "christmas cat", the second one is swedish and is called "hearty goodness from the alley" or something similar, the third one is "trills" and the description thing is something like "juggling a good two-layer fruit jelly", the fifth one is "star roll" the sixth one is indeed chocolate peppermint, the seventh one literally translated into "turkish pepper", the nipply one is swedish and its something like "raspberry fades away" i think, the hockey pulver is "hockey powder", maoam pinballs are great, the next one is "super set licorice bits" and the description thing is "ryoma chocolate with licorice pieces" or something, the opal thing is "lemon and licorice", the peppermints are peppermints, the wtf sticks are "demons", the risa thing is "thrice", the things he was afraid of because they looked like the salt demon sticks are danish and theyre called something like "school chalk", then more turkish pepper brought to you by google translate
