Thanks y'all for helping this video get on Finland's trending list! 🔥🔥🔥

[@stardustpan]

You deserve it :D

[@Ellulellu]

You really have to do this video again and do it properly! 😂 The ice cream should be taken out of a freezer (not melty like that) and you should properly see if there is something inside, not just lick a little from the top 😂 It actually tells jättis has a core in the wrapper!

[@alexandrakarna4480]

I usually eat the chocolade around the ice cream and then like the ice cream after too! Hyvä video:) en myöskään tykkää pätkiksestä melkein yhtään (if you dont understand, i dont usually like pätkis either)

[@isabella7921]

we need part two where you get to the centre of jättis! 🍦

[@theonewhoruinedyourday64]

Jättis has filling inside and you never ate enought to know

[@justiina_cat]

What the heck, omar is not white chocolate 😱 it's cream caramel/fudgey thing

[@30secondish]

And the shape obviously comes from the shape of original Omar sweets. Do your candy homework, Dave!

[@ollimonto858]

Yep it is caramel i know coz i am from finland

[@Jurkyification]

Well the frosting is done differently because it is icecream so maybe it tasted more like white chocolate.

When you were eating kaktus jättis, I just waited when you find the sauce from the inside but you never did. ☹️

[@davecad]

There's a sauce?! DAMN IT

[@ericaandersson645]

Dave Cad well it’s not a sauce, it’s a toffee flavoured core and it’s the best part of the ice cream👌🏽

[@Rousenaa]

Yes i was basicly just mad and really unsatisfied xD

[@patrikpuhakka6089]

Dave Cad its the best part of that icecream

[@chiriko87]

It is a salty caramel core and it's so amazing because it's really salty and so full of flavor. It's just incredible - best part of the ice cream. You need to try it again ^^

[@WildwoodVagabond]

I’m so jealous right now! That Jättis Kaktus is so good! I’m an American from Texas. I lived there for 4 years. I can’t wait to go back. Finnish candy and Finnish ice cream is the best! Have you tried the Salmiakki ice cream? By the way I really enjoy your channel! Helps me feel more connected to Finland ❤️🇫🇮Thanks for these videos

[@roy-txt.bloghakanen5173]

Moi. Milloin tulet takaisin suomeen. Olet tehnyt kriittisiä ja positiivisia vid. Mikä hyvä . Suomessakin on paljon opittavaa.Sinun vlogeja on seurannut Iltalehti suomessa.

[@ivylasangrienta6093]

The new Jättis (unicorn) is sooooo good!

[@alisamultisilta6329]

Noooooooooooo you didnt get to the salty caramel filling with the jättis kaktus!!!!!!!!! Thats the best part, dave you have to buy that icecream again

[@jussimustonen6829]

true

[@katripitkanen5706]

Moi tyypät!!

[@JeremyRM]

Finnish ice cream is the best. It is one of the things my wife and I look forward to when we visit Finland. We thought it was funny seeing all of the little ice cream stands at almost every street corner with lines of Finns waiting to order their ice cream.

[@tonyp4502]

Great video even tho you missed the heart of jättis...Jam 😁

[@davecad]

NOOOOOO! I just went to the store and saw that there's a ton of other flavours... I WILL GET TO THE CORE!

[@Rinssi_from_Finland]

I love Jättis Kaktus ice cream. Especially that salty toffee or whatever core. Felt a need to slap Dave for missing that 😂

[@maijakarppinen663]

Thank god someone said this I was crying internally when he skipped the best salted caramel core EVER 😂😂

[@EternalNyappy]

Kaktus has salted caramel core wtf, it should be written loudly to the packaging! So gonna buy one tomorrow

[@BellhenderOfficial]

I was devastated when Dave didnt eat the whole thing cause the heart of the jättis is always the best part, same with kingis. Dave buy another 1 indeed. You need it and it will get higher number than just puny 3/5...

[@issukeskinen1831]

Omfg Dave you missed the hearts of the jättis ice creams for the love of god!!!

[@delerror5193]

Da Capo chocolate bar is not a mixture of different candies, they are originally (or may still be) made from Liquor Fill candies, that did not pass the quality checking. The idea was to reuse the broken sweets while adding some rum in the mixture to smooth out the taste.

[@einar6229]

Oooh you were mere millimetres away from the jättis treasure Dave, there be sweet sweet gold in that centre.

[@jonnaskarpman1000]

I like the soft waffle better than the normal one XD

[@ToneZZu]

Omar is cream toffee flavour not white chocolat

[@davecad]

Mm that is why I could taste a little coffee flavour then I guess.

[@WickedHowl]

@@davecad Yeah and the original Omar candy is in fact a toffee sweet, not a chocolate bar :) It has a distinct flavour, so that's probably where you picked up the coffee-like aroma I guess. Also, one of my favourite ice creams! I even prefer it to the actual candy ^^ There's also an Omar munkki which tastes quite different but still super good, you should try that one as well.

[@Emilia-ti5lz]

You definetly need to try out "3 kaverin jäätelö" and "fazer fabriikki". Both of those have some unique flavors

[@aada9560]

!!

[@succ448]

Dave cad, You don't have to guess if we want 2nd part. We want it and we want it now!

[@davecad]

I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT.

[@succ448]

@@davecad You are blessing to this world. You sir are god-tier being among us

[@samiveikkomatias]

Dave The best Part of Jättis kaktus is salty toffee heart in The middle of Ice cream.

[@lenniutunen]

Da Capo is rum flavored also the Da Capo chocolate bar has little bit of rum flavor

[@Ama-Elaini]

I don't drink rum as is, but I love it with chocolate and ice cream so I think I would probably love Da Capo ice cream.

[@tgv4744]

where was the legendary Classic kermatoffee???

[@Ama-Elaini]

Super Toffee is great as well.

[@eveliina9420]

Please do another ice cream taste test with some tub ice creams! Definitely get some Kolmen Kaverin Jäätelö, Jymy, also Suomen Jäätelö (spruce flavour as someone suggested, I also love the rhubarb sorbet!). The best Finnish ice creams come in tubs!

[@desutaiga]

So did you throw those ice creams away if you still don’t know there’s a core?

[@miiahaapasalmi4496]

Next time try the ässä mix popsicle, it's the ice cream version of ässä mix candy and it has all the flavors of different ässä mix colours

[@tuulicamilla]

I just love these taste tests, can’t think of anything more relaxing to watch! 😅

[@jerepesonen8426]

Jättis IS The Legendary brand! Fan of everything they does.

[@aleksilaukka2302]

Totta

[@neariikonen871]

Definitely do a part 2!!

[@jesperijussila8027]

jättis also has jam or whatever u call it inside. You didnt lick enough 😂

[@leevionpro]

@Elitedevil Wtf you fucking pervert

[@jesperijussila8027]

@Elitedevil i should have seen that coming haha

[@davecad]

Damn it...

[@insku95]

Dave. The kaktus one has A middle thing u left untouched. The best part of the icecream. Im demanding you taste it again!!!!!

[@nikogassmann]

Muru eskimo is soooo good! 🙃

[@lottaoinonen233]

You need to try Puffet vanilla ice cream sandwich, it's such a classic

[@johanna_na]

Dave.... Da Capo is the best 😍 Loooove them.

[@rollingmetal949]

[@affiakerlund6112]

Oh man I've been waiting for this series

[@davecad]

:D

[@ss-rr5ke]

I can relate to eating the chocolate first and then the ice cream itself, i always do that haha! I love your videos! Can you do some kind of summer vlog from a cottage or something if that's possible? You did that kind of video last summer and I loved it! By the way your pronounced the names so well! Your finnish has really improved ! 😎

[@sakku1040]

I love soft woffle so much more than crunchy dont know why but i just love it

[@MinnaM1986]

Jättis unicorn is cottoncandy and strawberry flaword icecream

[@kristellamakeup]

And it has strawberry jam core. I liked it, it was sweeter than normal strawberry icecream 😋

[@Ainotar1]

DAVE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE taste "Kuusi" flavor ice cream from "Suomen Jäätelö" I promise you won't regret it

[@davecad]

I'll see if I can find it!

[@LilyTheBlue]

this is my absolute favourite ice cream too!

[@thrillyria]

I also fell in love with it last week! If you can't find it anywhere else, there's some at my local cafe Roihuvuoren Rio!

[@Miranda.T]

@@davecad It can be found in a 0,5L size and a small portion size. There is also Aura blue cheese ice cream, and it sounds horrific. :D

[@r2dezki]

Kusi flavored.. Hah

[@Memu_]

The way you eat chocolate from icecream is correct. You always have to eat the outer layer first!

[@Heavysweating]

The soft waffle is due to the ice cream melting a bit somewhere along the cold-chain, and/or means the ice cream is quite old, since usually recently made ones have almost always crisp waffles

[@sallapoykio124]

Dave!!! Inside the Jättis icecreams there is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ICECREAM a sauce-thingy and it's THE BEST PART!!!

[@ArualCrisp]

pätkis is so delicious!! you should try the fazer pätkis biscuits! they are so good especially if you dip it in coffee too!

[@Juhasante]

Da capo is my favourite candy of my childhood and still is! That ice-cream version is amazing 😋

[@Jiv3ly]

That jättis kaktus is my fave ! ❤️

[@Yoarashi]

9:25 It's true! Da Capo candies were originally recycled liquor chocolates that had not passed quality control, with a bit of rum added in to even out the flavor. Apparently the name means something like "from the beginning" in Italian. My personal favorite ice cream for summer is Solero Exotic, made by Ingman. In the wintertime, it's all about liquorice and salmiak and out-souring the foul weather out of sheer spite.

[@dear-xx703]

I am still amazed by the Finnish love for ice cream.

[@serena9073]

Dave, please make a part two! I want to try Dave-approved ice creams when I'm visiting Finland

[@Jazzy.girl.Sarah2023]

Please do another, Dave!!

[@mangomehu6402]

Definitely a part two! You should try the 'Kerrossuklaa' ice cream from classic. It is one of the best ice creams in my opinion

[@aleksilaukka2302]

Jep ihan parasta👍🏼

[@lilbread9257]

Make these more!!!!

[@dieZera]

btw in Germany there used to be an ice lolley called Brauner Bär which is brown bear, fits your bear love

[@luhtanen7832]

Da capo has or had rum flavour in it its one of my favs

[@antcommander1367]

Dave? could u pls continued that finish music reactions? Have band which u really should react Eppu normaali. And also finntroll's häxbryxx with kat

[@saravil2063]

Love you taste test videos! And oh boy a whole series!! So much you could try :) A lil idea would be the difference in taste when it comes to strawberries from different countries (similar to the mämmi one where you didn’t know which one was which) 😊

[@davecad]

Maybe I'll wait for the price to go down. They're more expensive that gold at the moment!

[@marjaana8566]

You should taste some finnish vegan ice creams, like Valio pingving chocolate. It´s new for this summer. And there was some Valio Aino oat cranberry-caramel flavour too.

[@marihonkanen9876]

Yes indeed we want more ice cream testing videos!! If I could decide you´d test all them! Love your videos :) AND you´re so cute

[@arjalindman1939]

Harmi, kun jättis-tuuteista ei löydy enää sitä lakritsi-versiota. Se oli mun lempparijätski. Joskus 2000-luvun alussa sitä oli kaupoissa.

[@arjalindman1939]

@jellyfishyies niin on ja tykkään siitäkin ♥️

[@subforfreevirusyoudammpeas2062]

@Finnish Demon trio on viel jossain kaupois

[@r2dezki]

Kirjoita Ingmanille, ehkä ne tuo sen takas?

[@gozamite]

From now on I'm waiting my lick of disappointment... The best figure of speech I've heard in a long time!!

[@Jazzy.girl.Sarah2023]

Lidl has some great ice creams. Gelatelli brand ice creams and bars from Lidl are delicious. Hope you'll try them! Also ice cream you can get at the Kaivapuisto kioski is outstanding. The waffle cones are crunchy and ice cream is delicious and you get a lot for your money.

[@Padawan79]

The best Jättis, by far, is the Passion flavored one. Red packaging.

[@honeyb.21]

Yes! Try that one 👌🏻🙏❤️

[@shalonen8259]

Citrus liquorice kingis is my fav

[@timomastosalo]

Jättis is like Gianty, or Gianters, Giars - how Cockney you want it :) It means like 'giant cone'. There are different flavors: this was cactus of course. The classic is just vanilla with chocolate coating, and strawberry center.

[@dbtest117]

The chocolate in the bottom is to prevent the melted ice-cream to eat trough the cone. I also miss the old and very good sun ice ice creams. E.g. the licorice puck, there was a pink too. Their cone ice creams were the best too and some of the recipes still exist. But all my favorites are gone, since they were bought up by ingman or valio can’t remember.

[@shutyamouth5423]

and the soft cone is a thing in finland, keep that in mind

[@mariarachel1868]

I love omar and pätkis! I was a little bit of surprised when my dad wanted that unicorn jättis! 😂 He liked it.

[@jilmarit]

Try Classic kermatoffee, Turkish Peber, all ”Super” ice creams (shaped like guitar).

[@Susirajantakaa]

Soft cones are the best! So happy they are bringing them back more, at one time all the cones were crispy. And I dislike them coating the insides of the cones with chocolate unless it is a chocolate ice cream.

[@weekendguy4858]

It omar ice Cream is one of My favorite ice Creams! I like it very much because i like butterstotch and white chocolate very much on ice Creams

[@_Renko__]

Great video as always, Dave.😊 Btw: my dad and I are going to London tomorow and since you’ve lived in London, do you have any tips for me and my dad?🙂

[@Napukettu]

I love the chewy waffle cones. I'm glad when some of them are chewy.

[@jenniheinanen8434]

Jättis kaktus had a nice sting to it, like you could expect when eating a cactus. And I munched on one unicorn just the other dayn very nice (and I like the soft cone over a crunchy one).

[@lin4309]

I hope you do a part 2 of these! You should definitely try Juhlatuutti which is a cone with cloudberry jam and chocolate sprinkles! It's one of my favourites! (And very Finnish with the cloudberry)

[@jariturunen532]

I agree. It is my favourite since I was a kid. And that is long time ago.

[@EternalNyappy]

I love Amppari and Pingviini kuningatar (new layered ones), but usually I tend to go for Magnum in single ice creams. Finnish packaged ice creams are SSOOOO good, I love Ingman Rocky road, English mint and Valio Fabriikki passion-kookos.

[@aldotrioksidi]

Do a part 2! I would have recommended Domino ice cream sandwich, but they're not available anymore unfortunately. They were the best ice cream sandwich I ever had.

[@aamuwirkku]

Kingis vanilia is the original ice cream that has been inspiring the Pätkis one and the Da Capo one as well. So, I think you should test it out! There is a lot of different flavors to that if vanilla isn't cool enough 😋

[@binncynd]

Eating the chocolate off the outside first IS the correct way to eat ice cream!

[@petrirantavalli859]

You should try Toukarin Jäätelö though I'm not sure if they even sell elsewhere then Pori region. price for the home made sea buckthorn goat milk ice cream was a hefty 6€ per tiny tiny can though.

[@hannabusiness]

Jättis used to have a cling film sort of top instead of that plastic cup, but the top was always just absolutely smashed cos it didn't give it any support. So though it does feel a bit extra, the plastic cup keeps it untouched!

[@just_jouni]

Ooh cool new "taste taste tuesdy" - graphics!

[@Eryniell]

so the icecreams I found I liked a lot from finland: -Classic Kerrossuklaa -Pingviini Siitruuna-Laku -Kingis Sandwich (vanilja) last one, a personal favourite is a buttermilk icreamcone, which I can't find on the internet but in S-Market XD it's within a black loose packaging instead of the usual tight one, that's all I currently remember XD

[@loki1385]

You really should try ÄssäMix popsicle and Puffet icecreambar with any flavor you like (chocolate, mint, vanilja, strawberry) 👌

[@singing115]

You should try the Classic ones

[@millmoormichael6630]

As a Finn, finnish candy & chocolate but Italian ice cream. Though there are some great new boutique brands like 3 kaverin, Peltola, Jymy etc. Utu from goat milk is amazing.

[@tiafielding]

Have you tried mango-meloni ice cream? It was a staple at ice cream kiosks back in the day (still is) but they've now made it into a Pingviini tuutti also. I don't think you can get them separately (or I just haven't looked too hard) but you can get them in the packages where there's like... 8 cones, I think, 4 strawberry and 4 mango-meloni. Definitely not a flavor I've seen anywhere else but in Finland and it's my favorite still, even after having it every time from a kiosk as a kid. :D

[@MoonRaven1412]

I love how there is a distinct difference between you saying cactus and kaktus even though you say them right after each other.

[@ucco3044]

This is the greatest idea!

[@davecad]

I'm glad you approve!

[@nikkem6438]

Da-Capo is amazing!

[@Sasha-sb3uw]

*Core* blimey!

[@veerakuortti4858]

My favorite is unicorn jättis is soo good

[@terrorismo4453]

I just love to watch these videos because i want to see what other people think about finnish foods and the language. I myself love Fazers chocolates and candies. Try the Fazer Marianne icecream thats good

[@Jiv3ly]

That kaktus ice cream is pear flavored ice cream with salty caramel Core inside and kaktus flavored hard topping.

[@emmisarvijarvi595]

Eight! I love your videos!

[@davecad]

Thanks!

[@Tomputin77]

I love Jättis Kaktus and Sitruuna, you should taste it aswell. And theres a toffee thing inside them you missed it.

[@user-ss8yc7bx4l]

My favorite ice cream is Marianne and second comes maybe Omar they're soo good

[@alsunpilsut]

"Every lick is a little lick of disappointment." Cave Dad 2019 😂

[@jennah94]

The new Jättis plastic cap is so useful. In the earlier days it was a plastic wrap and I can't even count how many times young me dropped the whole ice cream part to the ground trying to get the plastic wrapping opened 😐

[@Lacrimarimus]

I also eat the chocolate coating first and then slurp the ice cream. :P I love mint flavored anything, so Fazer Marianne Ice cream is one of my favorites.

[@TorterraX1]

Next time could you try (Lakka)Cloudberry ice cream

[@kpt002]

I also eat the chocolate (or other cover) first and then the icecream in the middle. I think it is because of the difference in the structure. Cold chocolate is "hard" while icecream melts in the mouth very fast, so it deoesn't feel like a good mix.

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

Try the ones in cups next, you can easily close the lid and put the rest back into the freezer.

[@0Quiwi0]

I'm not sure about the thing with Da Capo being just other stuff mixed together, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. That's because I do know thät Pätkis was originally made out of scrap chocolate. The name even comes from that fact. When they cut other chocolates they just put the leftovers into a melting pot, added the mint truffle stuff to mask the taste and made cheap bars out of it. Of course nowdays they don't need to do that, but that's the origin

[@mixu2225]

Yes! Just yes!

[@davecad]

😁😁😁

[@annak.9124]

Try "Super" named ice creams from valio. My favorite is lakrits but toffee and chocolate are so good as well.

[@yeahnoway111]

12:20 ikr! They should have made it like a rainbow or atleast Bright pink, purple and blue colors
