Once again. Salmiakki is not liqorice. It's often mixed with liqorice, but salmiakki is a different thing. Liqorice is a plant. Salmiakki is lab made salt of ammonia

[@pev_]

Indeed, I was just about to comment on this myself. I guess it confuses some people that the candy industry has decided to associate both with black color (which neither are without a strong black dye).

[@jarskil8862]

@@pev_ We made Salmiakki in school chemistry back in the days. It was yum. Also its white powder.

[@teroboy2855]

Salmiakki on ammoniumkloridilla eli salmiakilla maustettu lakritsimakeinen. Maultaan salmiakki on samaan aikaan sekä makea että suolainen. Salmiakkia syödään lähinnä Pohjoismaissa, Saksassa ja Alankomaissa. Ja salmiakeissa on ainesosana lakritsiuutetta. Eli Salmiakki karkit ovat suolaisia lakritseja.

[@0Quiwi0]

@@teroboy2855 Ammoniumkloridi ON salmiakkia. Samoin kuin natriumkloridi on pöytäsuolaa. Lakritsia käytetään salmiakkikarkeissa koska muuten se olis jauhetta. Lakritsi ei oo millään tavalla tarpeellista salmiakin käyttöön. Se on vaan yleisimmin käytetty lisä millä tehään siitä purtavaa

[@taijat]

Dave you are having the same taste experience with salmiakki as many Finnish kids. At first they hate it and cannot understand why their parents or older siblings like it. Then they get to taste it every now and then and slowly get better tolerance to salmiakki. But then comes a day when they can say that they actually like or even love the taste of salmiakki. You'll get there - just wait. 😉

[@problemchild1004]

Mulle kävi juuri näin, vaikken vieläkään pidä ihan vahvimmista salmiakeista

[@radikaali]

Halva X-Salt Salmiakki is actually just basic Salty liquorice covered with sugar with a hint of Ammonium chloride. That should tell you how strong Ammonium chloride aka Salmiac is, the salmiac sugar that covers the candy is something like 90% sugar and 10% of Ammonium chloride. Pure Ammonium chloride powder actually corrodes metal, steel and concrete if you let it stay there long enough and we Finns enjoy eating that stuff.

[@SanniKelokaski]

I remember you tasting Ahaa chocolate in your irtokarkki video and you said it was boring and didn’t taste like anything 😂 I remember it because it’s my favourite chocolate and I was like NOOOOO so this new opinion was interesting to hear! 😆

[@lauralehikoinen4704]

Im so happy that those pommix have come pack, they were one of my favorites as a child, an they were as irtokarkki, about 1985-1989 or something... There was then only maybe ten irtokarkki- products, and those lemon ones was one of them, so those are made again for us who lived on that crazy time on 1980's. 😊

[@hazeman4755]

Heh, loved your reactions to some of these sweets :) It feels a bit nostalgic watching this, I think I found your channel years ago through your first candy taste test. I have to say that Fazer's Blue is so good that I'm a bit disappointed with the blueberry version, because I love blueberries too. That chocolate bar is not bad, but it's not the heaven I expected either.

[@Nintentohtori]

You can get Ahaa (in smaller bites) as an irtokarkki too. My chocoholism doesn't appreciate that every time they are in discount

[@Pevukka]

[@poweredbymoonlight9869]

Dave Cad - whatever you do when it comes to eating the big long licorice bar - don't eat it all up in once, you're gonna feel nausea afterwards having too much of licorice and you don't want that feeling. My personal favorite are those chocolate filled licorice bars! SUCH a good combo, tho one might not think that at first!

[@hemmuu1]

Oh! That Paksu chocolate Pepe!😍😍 love them! You can get them at the Panda factory outlet in Jyväskylä, they sell them in 1kg bulks/bags.

[@sweethun]

ahaa bars were my childhood. they were in stores in the 1990s and 2000s and disappeared for a while (at least i didn't see them around) but they've recently made a comeback!

[@nippeli1409]

I love the ahaa its like 1000/5

[@piascott4557]

Ahaa is one of my all time favorite chocolates :) I don't know why, but it has this very special, unique flavor that I like. It's been years though since I ate one. I just wish Fazer and other chocolate manufacturers in Finland would find peanut butter already! Berries, yogurt, berries everywhere. Meh. But chocolate, cookies, ice cream and pastries made with peanut butter... I'm waiting for the day!

[@jepjep1698]

That Fazer blueberry crisp chocolate is my favourite one D:

Ahaa Is an absolute Legend!

[@iwillcry]

Ahaa patukka is one of my favourites, you can even buy it in small bites at grocery stores in the Irtokarkki aisle

[@einar6229]

The Pepe XXL, i actually find it hard to stop myself from eating a whole one, never knew there was a chocolate one though, cheers Dave, you've just added to my gym time 😄

Finland started to received cocoa powder after the war early 1948. My granfather was head hunted to be the chocolate master to start chokolate production for the brand we now know as Panda.

[@everydamndaymotivation]

Herää

[@j4dz727]

There are tons of memes from fazer because they made so many weird and different flavours mixed with chocolate. And they are still developing more. I can't wait for koskenkorva chocolate to come out

[@lottaoinonen233]

Dave, have you tasted Fazer Supersalmiakki!? ( called silmäsalmiakki( like eye salmiakki) usually, because of the package ) you have to try it if you haven't, it's such a classic one

[@howlingbeats2544]

I'm from Finland and the rasperry and liquorice is my second favorite chocolate. You should try Kultasuklaa chocolate bars. Especcially the Rocky Road one:) Cheers!

[@1andonlyMiro]

I haven't been following your channel too much so you might've actually answered these questions before, but do you eat rye bread in Finland? Like actual rye bread, not the rye bread you see in foreign tv shows. Also are you ever gonna go on a tour around Finland? Like going through different traditional foods in different areas and going to festivals or something? Like muikkukukko in Kuopio, loimulohi or smoked reindeer in Lapland and so on?

[@nyyminuolivaara]

Try some Estonian Kalev chocolates. The crispy white chocolate with blueberry is amazing.

[@anettenystrom2409]

I love how softly you say "paska". 😎

[@seppo1]

11:12 that "suklaalevy" used to be my favorite chocolate slab to buy, but I ate it too often and it kinda just got boring. I haven't eaten it in ages so i think imma buy it tomorrow on "karkkipäivä". :)

They also used to sell Ahaa mint chocolate in both bag and bar form. It was sooooo good that you wouldn't even care about chocoholism. Still don't know why they stopped selling them.

[@lottaoinonen233]

I hate white chocolate but the Fazer Copenhagen is so so good! I love it too much, it's funny how you think it's too complicated, I think it's a perfect harmony 😂👌

[@kimborassecondwife]

5:30 the funny thing is that you tasted the pick and mix (irtokarkki) version of that chocolate bar before and you didn't like it :D

[@lukapitkanen3333]

What do you think of finnish candy/chocolate overall? Whenever I’m abroad I feel like there’s not too many good candys or chocolate in the stores to choose from but I just might have a bias towards finnish products :P

[@pallepro5521]

Salmiakki valkosuklaa is one of my hundreds favorites. I like youre videos and i have follow you many years. By 11 years old boy from Finland.

Hello Dave!!! The only bad thing abaut your sweet test is that I am in Germany! !!! Still keep go on as you are!!! Paljon terveisiä Saksasta Toivo The Elch (Hirvi) a finnish-german "boy"(46years young)Sorry for mistakes !!

[@sinttulehti4556]

You need to eat both Pommix candies at the same time! The lemon one and the stronger black salmiakki together, aww yiss.

[@TheRuinedWonderland]

Also if you are looking for candy that you can call fun you should try Smurffi white chocolate sticks.

[@Jukkapoika007]

my favorite chocolate bar is dumle snacks, susu and ahaa😍, well started the video.

[@mutrunen]

I usually take Fazer's blueberry choc to my foreign friends as a gift when I visit them and it's been their introduction to Fazer chocs. So far everyone's absolutely loved it and always beg me to bring more. I'm more of a traditionalist and prefer my choc plain or with nuts. Lontoon Rae Fazerin sininen being the exception 😄 But Fazerin Sininen with hazelnuts ftw!

[@anttibacklund9075]

You should try the fazer chocolate and liquorice balls. They are sooo good
