The ”New” marking in the shops just means that the product is a new addittion to the store. Not always a completely new product

[@Ghostiification]

Usually (not always) the product itself has a label "new" to it if it's completely new for the brand.

[@meri-tuuli]

@@Ghostiification Yup! But when the label is on the price tag or somewhere near the product it’s just a new product to the store

[@ZnakerFIN]

I would say that truffle is fancy but not the chocolate kind. It's the fungus variety that is the fancy truffle.

[@davecad]

Right, yeah! That you need special pigs to find 😁

[@artofstormdancing3319]

Cat's face of utter disgust is a sight to behold! I just love her, so expressive and she brought us Finns Dave so clearly has an impeccable taste. Cutest couple ever.

[@qwineth]

I just have to say that Cat's English is amazingly fluent and so witty, one is simply astounded :) You are perfectly tri-lingual!

[@sarahbailey6723]

New here. Does she also speak Swedish?

[@kielomariamaja1037]

Dave, your Finnish is getting so good so fast! I love your taste tests - though I must confess I got the sock advent calendar from Lidl for myself. The socks are colorful and lovely!

[@RiinaMary]

I actually like the christmas coffee. We are on our second bag already. Then again I'm the kind of person who likes coffee with vanilla, chocolate and caramel flavors. So I can see why some passionate coffee purists might not like that coffee.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

Merry Christmas!

[@veronikagorova9391]

"individually wrapped" :D we all have been waiting for hearing this again! 😁😁😁😁

[@paivijaaska9153]

For those who thinks fazer-blue is too "strong" there's fazer-red witch has always been my favourite !

[@RATCHARGEABLE]

Yeeehaw Christmas let's gooo! It was only today I was thinking about your seasonal taste tests! Paulig Christmas coffee is a meme 😂😂

[@johi5922]

Nor even drinking from Moomin mugs!😯 Your Finnish is getting really great Dave!❤️ Marry Christmas ! Hyvää Joulua! God Jul!

[@flyfin108]

they changed recipe for Jaffa keksi while back bit after new flavors was added, its not the same as it was now, there is only one way to eat em also: you put em in hole and crush em into top, this way you get most out of it

[@saarapollonen8138]

"You can do better than that" 😂

[@Golden_Jack]

I prefer traditional christmas products over season specials. I buy Panda's Juhlapöydän Konvehdit for three of my closest persons on The world. 🥰

[@jor.3224]

Thanks again 😍 i don’t personally like to drink pulla, prefer the chocolate coffee but only one spoon in one full pot.

[@vkv1384]

I really liked Suklaapiparkakku Marianne from Fazer by the way (especially with coffee with milk and pirkka vanilla ice cream on top 🤭).

[@olle1041]

Where is the taste test tuesday intro? This is a taste test, and it's a tuesday

[@davecad]

Haha true! I'll have to take this up with my editor 🤔🤣

[@centrifugedestroyer2579]

Oh no, why was that recommened to me now! Now I want all the Finnish Christmas stuff but it will be all gone again when I'm in Finland again

[@zeikki794]

Have you tried Puffet mint -icecream? Try that sometime in a video I really want to hear yours opinion of it; one of my very favorite icecreams, childhoods maybe-favorite actually. Also the half is very important. We are taught to use even the 0.25 (+) & 0.75 (-) from school so even those are often used in a 10 scales :D

[@juhva]

Content is good 👍 But micro edits (cutting out 0.2-0.5s pieces of video) made the video little bit too restless for the (home/casual) environment.

[@Superbus753]

Hey dave i think it would be fun if you would also revisit Finnish Christmas songs. Even though i live in Switzerland christmas is not right without Finnish christmas songs. Unfortunately Mummu is no longer with us but our harts still belong to Finnland

[@eveningbun]

Polka Dumles are my favorite! No tarnishing there!

[@NatzoXavier]

ayy! More taste testing! Also I hope Leo is doing well :D

[@davecad]

He's doing great - thanks for asking 😊

[@JonVonBasslake]

I think the ten point scale is better than the five point scale, but even that feels inadequate at times, so twenty point scale of ten full points with half points in between is probably the best.

[@tomi_9212]

Have you tried Fazer mint smelted in hot chocolate, it's so good. And for adults you can leave Fazer out and just add mint Liqueur.

[@davecad]

Ooo no we will have to try!

[@tomi_9212]

@@davecad Hope there's an taste video of it aswell =)

[@tupufoks]

The glass of milk for cleansing the taste buds is so Finnish :D Forget water, milk is the correct way! But to be honest, I ALWAYS have a glass of milk with my chocolate

[@flyfin108]

life hack i learned from somehwere, use scale instead of spoon to measure coffee, you will get it perfect everytime i also like it "just" altho sometimes i need it bit stronger never done this but i assume you measure "just" from freshly opened package with spoon, into scale, now you have exact amount you need to use everytime

[@angusmacgyver]

I'm not sure if I got that exact Christmas coffee one year, but it was so horrible I drank only one cup and threw the rest away.

[@teppomustola5068]

You should try plum cinnamon quark next christmas, it´s so much better.

[@jpxr3294]

That Jaffa omena & kaneli was last year too atleast

[@sebr0F]

I wanted to know the history of the jaffa cake! :D

[@Jantzku]

Subtle taste of mint is a minus and heavy taste of mint is a minus. Harsh 😆

Gotta love sassy Dave and "MEGA"-Labeling Cat. Also yes, Dave did also just ask: Is Allah Finnish?

[@jessepuha1009]

I must say that Arla products are from Sweden and Denmark originally even when the curd that you did try was made in Sipoo Finland.You could also test Milka chocolates and cookies,i like them more then Karl Fazer.

[@davidwittberg683]

And Dumle is Swedish as well but it doesn't matter it's all Nordic.

[@LucitaFin]

@@davidwittberg683 The original "lollipop" was from sweden in 1945, it came to Finland in 1985. But Fazer Dumle products are now made in Finland.

[@artofstormdancing3319]

Finnish Arla products used to be Ingman (I think?). There was Arla-Ingman stuff for a while before they went full Arla. So company is Swedish etc. but products (often) made in Finland.

[@LucitaFin]

@@artofstormdancing3319 That's also true, since Arla bought Ingman 2008 But often the products are made in Finland, like if you buy Arla milk in here it is Finnish milk not brought from Sweden.

[@elisabethandersson7503]

Arla is to big and not a good company for the farmers ... they sell themselves at climatefriendly but it is a lie.. I avoid Arla and eat Valio haha I live in Sweden and prefer finnish yoghurt

[@sps7959]

Dark chocolate rules!!! 😁

[@SK-nw4ig]

Oh you too. You just want to make candy taste tests "for work". Just an obligation :D Cute couple.

[@theshowber]

Too bad you didn't buy the infamous pineapple chocolate (konvehti). It really divides people 😅

[@sannamarika-]

We didn't like that Panda Polka-makeislevy. It is not chocolate (it even says "makeislevy" instead of chocolate) so it doesn't have that creamy-chocolate-flavor, and still it doesn't taste minty enough.😅 Hated it.

[@js0988]

Tryffeli(chocolate) is not the same a truffle(fungus).

[@durabelle]

Both are called tryffeli in Finnish and truffle in English though. Fungus came first, and chocolate truffles were named after them because of a similar appearance. Some handmade Belgian chocolate truffles are quite fancy too, but definitely not all of them these days.

[@nokkamies4988]

Panda's chocolate blocks my throat burns

[@Kvarkki]

I was fully expecting 1/5 for the polka chocolate! (That's what I would have given it. I couldn't go beyond just one piece myself. 😣)

[@TheYannir]

Ruby(red) chocolate is a thing btw.

[@tapio_m6861]

Wait... doesn't Dumle more or less always come with dark chocolate?

[@artofstormdancing3319]

Nooo, Fazer Blue is the og coating (in Fazer's Dumle)

[@antlamaki1108]

About time for Fazer to make Dumle's with dark chocolate!!!!

[@mathias61]

They did a really bad mistake 🥴

[@hannapakarinen6182]

They have that Dumle Dark. I believe it only comes in these mix-bags 😔 It's my absolut favorite of Dumles. That and the Cranberry flavoured, thats only in shops at Christmas time 😒

[@Ranskulainen]

I hated that Panda polka one. Too minty

[@hashishi9]

Okay, so you didn't need to cut out hte two very boring minutes. Please make a video about what was left out :D

[@markomakkonen6000]

Dave, you can do better than that! 😂

When I was in Denmark in the autumn, I saw a lot of Arla products, so it may not be entirely Finnish? Edit! I Googled it, and what do you know, Arla is based in Aarhus, Denmark. fi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arla_Foods

[@elisabethandersson7503]

Arla is swedish guess the danish part is based there
