    For anyone who is curious where the candy actually is from:
    nr 1, Jólaköttur (the christmas cat): Iceland
    nr 2, Grännakarameller -hallonlakris (raspberry liquorish hard candy from Gränna): Sweden
    nr 3, Trítlar (triples): Iceland
    nr 4, Sneaky bubbledust: UK
    nr 5, Stjörnurulla (star roll): Iceland
    nr 6, Chokolade & Pebermynte: Denmark
    nr 7, Tyrkisk peber: Finland (extemely popular in all nordic countries, probably the one you're most likely to find at just any supermarket)
    nr 8, Melody pop: Spain
    nr 9, Hallonlakrissvampar (raspberry liquorish MUSHROOMS- they're MUSHROOMS): Sweden
    nr 10, Hockeypulver: Sweden
    nr 11, Pinballs: Germany
    nr 12, Súper sett lakkris bitar: Iceland
    nr 13, Opal -sítrónu og saltlakkrís: Iceland
    nr 14, Bismarks klumper: Denmark
    nr 15, Djöflar (devils): Iceland (by the oldest liquorish company in Iceland)
    nr 16, Tubble gum: France
    nr 17, Þristur (three): Iceland ("Þ" is a th-sound like in think)
    nr 18, Skolekridt (school chalk): Finland
    nr 19, Tyrkisk peber hot and sour: Finland (Mark is right about both of these, while.. intense, they´re not hot)
    nr 20, Sour UFO: Belgium
    nr 21, Lakkrisrör: Iceland
    nr 22, Lakrids by Bülow: Denmark (edit)
    15/22 correct guesses for whether the candy was Icelandic or not
    (I've gone with where the company currently making the candy is from, not necessarily where the candy was invented)

      Yeah it’s what we grow up with. While salmiak isn’t for everyone, I for one love it. I like sweet candy once in a while but not too sweet. I have had candy from the US, you know one of those big boxes of typical US candy. And it’s definitely not my thing. Too sweet haha. Really shows how much your taste buds depend on what you grew up with.

  • @Unova39
    @Unova39 10 месяцев назад +2043

    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.

    Hey 👋 I lived in Iceland for 4 years before moving out a few months ago so I can tell you a little more about these candies. The Jólaköttur candy bar (based on the Icelandic Christmas cat folktales) is very authentic and you can only find it during the holiday season. The Swedish one, while not Icelandic is still very popular in Iceland. The Trítlar ones are also very authentic and popular. In the summertime they often release a summer edition. Stjörnurúlla (meaning star roll) is also popular, while not the best licorice, it is quite traditional. Turkish Peber: super popular in Nordic countries but it’s from a Finnish company. Anyway that’s pretty much it for the popular ones.
    Also, I’m pretty sure he went to Hagkaup to get these.

    As a Dane who has never been to Iceland (yet), I can't say if some of these are specifically from there, but as a Scandinavian I could recognize almost all of these. It is so funny to see Mark react to candy from my childhood!
    When he ate the liquorice/raspberry hard candy I _immedaetely_ thought of the ones with chocolate/peppermint, and was very happy he tried those as well. Those were a stable in my grandma's house. Also the "nipples" are supposed to be marshmallow mushrooms, and I could easily devour a whole bag of them! They come in pink and brown. Also pretty sure the Opal candy is similar to our Gajol, and you're supposed to suck on them, not chew them 😂 Tyrkisk Peber means Turkish Pepper, and the center has liquorice powder. They are more black pepper "spicy" than chili hot.
    But yeah, we really like our sweet and salty liquorice, weird chocolate and hard candy. Also anything MAOAM rocks! Bülow is a Danish brand, and they make _amazing_ but expensive chocolate-coated and normal liquorice.

    It is indeed the Swedish flag, the hard raspberry/licorice candies from the bag is from Sweden. From Gränna a town which is famous for it's candy canes and candy.
    The "nipples" are mushrooms, and made in Sweden, so is the Hockey Pulver. It contains Salmiak, which is that unidentifyable salty flavour... The Tyrkisk Peber is from Finland.

      My best friend is icelandic and we watched this together. Before the video started he said "All our candy is just chocolate and licorice". He was going "yep" at the salty licorice candy. I insisted that I try it.
      He was also saying "I swear to God if he says the peppermint isn't icelandic I'm going to lose it" Mark's next words were "I don't think this is icelandic" and the response was "I'M LOSING IT". Followed soon by cheering when Mark put it on the Iceland side.

    As a man from Sweden and a candy aficionado I can tell you that the hockey puck named "supersalt hockey pulver" is swedish and pretty much sums up half of the candy experience in Sweden. It's licorice/salted licorice and the other half is an excessively broad collection of outrageously sweet candy that takes many shapes and forms. A big portion of it is chocolate and different types of jelly candy.
