@@amandadaley4182 Kit kat is produced by hershey, and they're pretty big on butyric acid, I've read. I did some googling, and "...the US version of chocolate goes through a process called controlled lipolysis. This produces a chemical called butyric acid." So, I'm not sure it would even show up as an ingredient since technically, it's a process that produces it and not an ingredient that's put into the batter? Canada generally does a far better job regulating these things than the US, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian kit kat lacks butyric acid. The aftertaste of vomit would be a dead giveaway😅so I'm sure you're right. The difference in sweetness level probably has to do with FDA regulations: "...we learn that British law mandates that milk chocolate must contain a minimum of 25% cocoa solids. In contrast, the U.S. FDA only requires American companies to use 10% chocolate liquor. According to Business Insider, the difference is made up of sugar and fillers."

Yeah, this guy can't even identify one of the world's most famous birds, or at least didn't focus on it. But I guess it's better than him calling it a flamingo, lol.

We eat nine Kvikk Lunsj a year on average, because we have so many other yummy chocolate bars to choose from, too. The average chocolate bar consumption overall is quite high in Norway. I have to admit, I contribute my fair share to the consumption stats! 😋
Exactly, thank you. And I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but Kvikk Lunsj is a bit over hyped, and a little bit boring to me. But I have to say, Kvikk Lunsj Blåbær was amazing, as it was more than just chocolate and wafer, as it had a flavor to it as well. Not really big on wafer chocolates though, and like you said, there's so many other delicious chocolates from both Freia and Nidar, and other companies/brands, that simply overshadow the lowly Kvikk Lunsj.
Couldnt agree more, the chocolate gets more "crisp" just as its supposed to be (like when outside going skiing in the cold) but yet it melts instantly once you grab a bite. I also keep my Kvikklunsj in the fridge before eating it :) happy to see others do that too

I'm glad he's watched enough videos about Norway to know he's supposed to break off each 'stick' of the Kvikk Lunch, and not eat two at a time like a savage
Kitkat and Kvikk Lunsj had a legal battle 6 years ago. As Kitkat wanted to trademark the shape in the UK. Even tho they mainly went up vs Cadbury, Freia was pulled in as the final kick after 11 years. Even tho Kitkat was out with their finger version a year before Kvikk back in 1936. It was not enough, as the EU still says you can't own a shape.
Makes sense since so many chocolate bars are the same shape.. imagine how hard chocolate comoanies would have trying to have to invent new shapes for their chocolate!
congrats on your first fysical step of integrating into norwegian culture, within half a year, you now will speak fluent norwegian, and distancing on the bus/train
The Kvikk Lunsj is a bit of a seasonal snack, as we are very fond of that as a supplement to a fast little meal when we are going skiing or enjoy a weekend at our cottage or such. A normal small meal (or quick lunch) on tour consists normally of fruit, like an Orange, maybe a packed sandwich, Kvikk Lunsj and some warm drink when it is cold, like hot chocolate, cocoa or coffee in a thermos container. Many also prefere that over other chocolate snacks as it is simple, everybody likes it, relatively cheap to buy and near Easter holiday it is normally on sale in large packs, and many serve them as a snack to coffee if we entertain guests.
You should do this more, you should try the chocolate that Freia creates! Its the *best chocolate in the world* in my opinion and it is REALLY popular here 😂 🍫
Hello Tyler! 😊 I watch your videos for a year or even more than a year already. Im happy u get to taste kvikk lunsj! 😻 Im now here in San Francisco and I have a bunch or norwegian chocolates with me. Btw I live in Stavanger, Norway. 😊👍🏽
Somewhere, in a dark vault beneath Freia headquarters, a group of people are now gathered around the urn of Johan T. Holst, all clad in Marius sweaters and wadmal trousers. As the leader of the group utters "Oh, Enlightened One, we have converted another", the urn faintly glows in red, white, and blue, as Edvard Grieg's Morgenstemning starts playing out from nowhere in the surrounding darkness.
When skiing when I was young we always brought a Kvikk Lunsj, an orange and a bottle of Solo or Fanta 😁👍🏻 You must look at the inside of the wrapping paper, it's a story or the safety rules of hiking, skiing in the Norwegian natur/mountains 👍🏻
About the bird here is the story from Freia's website: A number of competitions were organized to create buzz about Freia's products during the chocolate factory's first year of existence. In 1907, a competition was announced where the task was to decorate a box of cocoa. The winner of the competition was Oscar Carl Augen Kristoffersen, a 26-year-old retoucher who dreamed of becoming a painter. His contribution was a sitting marabou stork, and the rest is, as they say, history.
I got myself an KitKat advent calendar this year. Easy to say, I was sooo disappointed 😂 I was looking forward to you trying this, happy to hear that you liked it. Happy holidays! 🎉😊
Quick Lunch is best served cold, on a peak of a hill or mountain together with a clementine and coffe from a thermos bottle. Also dont forget the Mountain Rules inside the wrapping!
If you go cross country skiing - it is quite convenient to eat kvikklunsj as it can be cold and it is easy to eat outside in the cold - easier than sandwiches.
I had side by side both kit kat and kvikk lunch. Difference where like it was more fat in the kit kat. So basicly there are a few things in the typical norwegian hiking backpack. Kvikk lunch, coffee, grill sausage, orange, or solo, that is an orange soda, and a pair of dry socks :P This is due the winter, to keep the energy up. You never know what you face in the cold. Then small things with high energy is in our backpack. The Kvikk Launch has rules in the mountains in it, if you get lost, or trapped in snow or storm. The form of the bar, is easy to get apart so you dont have to take off your mittens in the winter to get some fast energy, when you are on ski`s. Also easy to share with others. then just put it back in your pocket without eating the whole thing at once. Its looked at like a survival tool. So basicly its normal for Norwegians to ski all day, or at least for a couple of hours. Then we take a 30min break before you go back. In the winter, your body get stiff, if you lack gluckose. Then you burn more energy due the cold. Lets say you are out in -4F. Your body burn trough alot of energy to keep the warmth. The stats of the avrage consume seem to be pretty right. I dont eat more then maby 6 a year. Just on the longer hikes, or trips. Then a fun fact. Its best served cold from the fridge or out in the winter temp. People say, that we have the best choclate in the world. Im not sure this is the truth, but its pretty good to my tasting. I have tried different choclate out there in the world. But i prefere norwegian choclate by a mile. Its sweeter, then its like sweet with milk. Not easy to tast it on that one. Pure choclate is different. But we usaly have only milk choclate, and its not like fat based like usaly what the rest of the world have. That is how you usaly can tell norwegian choclate from the standard cacao plant. Tends also to be more soure then sweet, then darker outside norway. This is how our choclate milk also taste like, with the powder and milk. Same thing. Light and sweet. Birds is just an crow, that is the logo of Freia. Freia is also norse mythology. Thor, freia etc.
@@DivineFalcon 😂 that would be interesting to watch, he would be trying to thread carefully as to not insult, but I mean if he hates fish like he claims he will not like it. So theres that😅
I had to join you in eating one myself Tyler. If you look on the inside of the packaging you'll find printed Fjellvettreglene which is advice for hiking safely. You can google them for translating into English.
The birds are the Freia brand bird =) So a company brand really. It used to be a lot more stylised, but a lot of chocolates have been "dumbed down" visually over the years to cut costs =) It used to say KVIKK LUNSJ on the bars too when I was younger.
we often eat them during skiing trips during easter break where we live in our cabins, every day or so we go on tours around mountains and more and when we taking a break every 500-1000 meters or so we re-energize by having by crack a bar of kvikk lunsj off to remain sharp enough to get from A to B to C to D for example sure we also have water break with it but yeah you get the point
You are funny to watch! I am Norwegian! This was fun! I could see you really liked it! Now you gotta find yourself a Norwegian lady hahah😅🫶 keep up the good work
The bird on the chocolate, is the Marabou stork, which was part of the Freia logo in the beginning. Another fun part, is inside the wrapper, there is some text, which tells the Norwegian mountain code; 1. Plan your trip and inform others about your route 2. Adapt the planned routes according to your ability and conditions 3. Pay attention to the weather and avalanche warnings 4. be prepared for bad weather and frost, even if you intend for a short trip. 5. Bring any necessary equipment so you can help yourself and others 6. Chose safe routes, recognize avalanche terrain and unsafe ice 7. Use a map and compass, always know where you are on your trip 8. There is no shame in turning around. 9. Conserve energy and seek shelter if necessary.
YEEEEES! FINALLY! :D I'll have one in solidarity myself :D But I will tell you right now, Tyler, If you ever get to taste the norwegian candy "Vepsebol" - (Beehive) and you DONT taste the powder on the inside, I'm unsubscribing! xD I've had enough of people tasting our Beehives, not tasting the explotion on the inside, spitting out after 30 seconds and complaints about it being nothing fancy xD
Super exciting even if it was just one taste test🤩😍 I hope you will receive more, or maybe you have but you are just spreading it out😉. I had a kvikk lunsj as I was watching since I actually had a couple in the kitchen.
My memories of this chocolate are two fold. The first one is of me being out in the winter snow during Easter. Eating Kvikk Lunsj and drinking Solo (an orange flavored soda). The 2nd fold of my memory of this is my brother and I buying an obscene amount of this when he came to visit and just eat it non stop. I am not sure about now, but it seemed to have really strong sales relatively often, so it became so cheap to buy all they had at the store.
Freia has the best Norwegian chocolate products. Try their traditional milk chocolate😉. And yes Kvikk lønsj is our version of a Kit Kat, but try them together and you’ll quickly find a favourite 😉
Sure,- - Kvikk Lunsj is very Norwegian, but we have other chocolate bars just as Norwegian, like Firkløver. We have a lot of amazing tasting chocolate. If anybody is brave enough to send Tyler Brunost, you have to send him a cheese slicer as well. Another typical Norwegian product is called Prim. That is Brunost as a spread. I'm addicted to the stuff. 😋
You open it that way for sharing the bars. In our family - we would typically share one bar from one chocolate to each, and then open a new one to share - even if we have 4 chocolates for 4 people:-)
It's also common in the US to use vegetable oils and fats as a substitute for cocoa butter, although this makes the chocolate greasier and it melts faster
Don't know if you noticed or not but inside the wrapping there is a short story in it. That you can read for the kids on the hike :D And the bird is the logo for Freia (the chocolate company that makes it)
Funny, I was in America, and we handed out Norwegian milk chocolate to people we got to know a little. 😊 And one guy said the same thing as you. "Wow, that was rich" I also like to try out candy, snacks and food from other countries. Hope to see more wideoes like this. 👍
You should try Snurring. A mix of meat like pork and cattle and lots of other ingredients. Very nutrious, delicious and easy to just heat up on longer hikes. It can be dinner at home also. Yummy with fried eggs on top 😋
They do sell KitKat at some special stores that make a point to sell things from foregin countries. This is more or less a recent development over the last few years. But you can not find KitKats in your avarge, everyday store.
Its a a reason for the wrappingpaper instruction: if you open it 100%you can use the wrapper as a "plate" and not holding the whole chocolate in your hand beacuse it melts faster since your hand are warm. + on a ski trip or hike you dont want chocolate on your hands (beacuse it gets on the inside of your gloves) or holding it with your gloves
A trick I learned from my brothers was dipping the kvikk lunsj in hot cocoa for a little bit, btw the birds on the chocolate is just the logo of freya!
FINALY one on RUclips who eat the Kvikk Lunsj (Quick Luch) by Freia the right way !! 😅 (The birds on the Kvikk Lunsj is one of Freia's logos). And yes! We Norwegians use this as a "pick me up" on hikes :)
Yeah, it's very difficult to get Kitkat in Norway. You either have to go to a specialty shop, go to Sweden, or import it. There is no market for Kitkat in Norway.
@Don_Coyote It’s not, but buying from an online shop abroad you pay a lot extra in shipping and taxes. You could probably find it in a specialty candy store or an online one sitatued in Norway. But I don’t know anyone who actually likes it and would go the mile to get one.
@Don_Coyote That is the definition of import, which I did specify were one of the options you have if you wanted to buy a KitKat in Norway. Would probably still be cheaper to either buy it from a specialty store or go to Sweden.
@Don_Coyote "But I digress" *continues to blabber on* No Circle Ks, Narvesens or 7-Elevens around me carry Kitkats. A quick google shows that Narvesen in Latvia (probably also Lithuania then) carry KitKats. To your point of grocery stores just carrying the most necessary items, that's total BS. Ask anyone if they've ever bought every single item that a grocery store carries. They'd likely say they don't even know all the items a store carries without having to go through aisle after aisle. So, yeah, if you need to actively look for something to buy it, then it's quite difficult to get, in my book. The online stores you can get a KitKat from are, again - to my point, either specialty stores, or not Norwegian stores.
@Don_Coyote I too was shocked to find out that Narvesen is in both Latvia and Lithuania. I have not been hunting for KitKat as I don't eat much sweets, but I've never seen a KitKat in a sweets aisle in a Norwegian grocery store or kiosk. (I have, however, seen KitKat flavoured ice cream at Meny before, which I guess is a bit ironic)
Back in the days it was survival lessions on the Kvikk Lunsj chocolates, back in the days with aluminum wrapped inner white paper with stamped small birds on the silver, and with a outer layer of tri-color paper cover on them where it was open in both ends. And there on the outer layer on the backside it was those survival tricks one could learn, to how to dig a snow cave, start a fire or similar. You did slide the inner silver bar out of the outer colored layer and itwas nice holding a silver looking like a .999 silver bar in your hands. And open the silver bird paper much the same way you do the plastic, but it was no need for any force to open it, it was like a christmas gift wrap where the silk bands was the outer layer wrap. It was just beautiful to open. So of course they had to find a way to at least make the opening of the new plastic wrapping somewhat decent :) Also the chocolate got faster dried out and harder, but i actually did like the dried out chocolate better than the in my eyes too soft chocolate in these plastic wrappers of today. Probably not as waterproof as of today if i should search for an advantage of the modern plastic wrapping, it can be useful if you fall into the water to have a dry chocolate to eat perhaps possibly lol :) Now, ask someone to send you some Smash from Nidar chocolate, they are good, the rice cone style, salty and sweet, it is a nice combination makes my mouth watery lol :)
Amen. I don't get it either! I always buy a bunch of them when I visit norway. I'd definiely buy them over kitkat if they got sold here. I rarely ever get kitkats as it is. Greetings from Skåne :)
the bird is a stork and it is the brand logo as welll, the waffer is made to be weak in taste and the choco is made from the traditional way of making chocolate
The "birds" are the logo for Freia, check the outside of the rapping. And check the inside of the rapping often there says someting there. Like the "fjellvettsregler" That give you 10 tips on how to behive in the mountain.
Disgustingly powerful in a good way 😄 The Kvikk Lunsj was meant to be an improved Kit Kat in the 30s. Instead of importing the original, Freia wanted similar but better. I say they succeeded! It was made to fit inside the pockets of an anorakk (parka), a garment that had become very popular among hiking and skiing Norwegians. After WW2, it was marketed as a part of being Norwegian, and that definitely did the trick 😄 Kvikk Lunsj (1937) IS a copy of the Kit Kat, Freia had people in England who tried it in 1935, but it is also endlessly better than the original. So who cares? We won 😄 (Also, Nestlé tried to copyright the shape and concept of the Kit Kat, but lost the case and Freia could continue the Kvikk Lunsj in its original form.)
@@breakfastbuddy5 Kitkat is the original. Kvikk Lunsj is the copy. But unlike most originals, the copy is the better option in this case. Freia was bought by Mondelez in the 90s, but the chocolate is still 100% Norwegian. Allways has been, and allways will be.
@@breakfastbuddy5 No, KitKat was first introduced in 1935, Kvikk Lunsj in 1937. Freia had people in London (including the son of the owner of Freia, Johan Throne Holst) sampling the KitKat before they made their first Kvikk-Lunch (as it was called then) two years later. The case in the European Court of Justice was not about who came first, but about ownership and copyrights in regards to the shape snd concept.
Tyler... You need to try hiking and cross-country skiing! Gliding along a mountain trail with the sun dappling though the trees gives you an excuse to try Norwegion chocolate and thermos of tea... Few experiences better!
Let me know and i will send you some😊. The stereothypic norwegian way is: your at the cabin in the mountains when it is easter. Its alot of snow, but now you have the sun and it is hot (for us) so skiing with the kids is perfect. You go as far as you think that the kids can take, then a little bit longer. Then you spot a rock that has no snow because of the temperature and say: lets sit down and eat Kvikk Lunch, oranges and drink hot chocolate😅. I have litteraly been in that situasjon many, many, many times.
Okay, it's finally decided...this man is now officially declared a true "Norgesvenn" 🎉 🇧🇻 ❤
Someone should figure his size and send him a Marus sweater or Lusekofte.
and a true Canadian-friend and a UK-friend. Which is the other two channels he has where he talks about the same stuff
Except for the fact that he never answers a single question or reads one single comment. Not so nice.

Makes sense since so many chocolate bars are the same shape.. imagine how hard chocolate comoanies would have trying to have to invent new shapes for their chocolate!
@@MayJay1812 It's kind of like trying to invent a different shape for a wheel
Kvikk Lunsj is so good. Norwegian chocolate is not disgusting sweet, it`s just melting in your mouth with a great after taste. I love our chocolate 😁
Kvikk lunsj is part of Norwegian History. For Norwegians who live abroad it’s a part of home.
congrats on your first fysical step of integrating into norwegian culture,
within half a year, you now will speak fluent norwegian, and distancing on the bus/train
Thank God somebody sent him a Kvikk Lunsj. Our chocolate are mostly milk chocolate. Merry Christmas, Tyler and a Happy New Year!
Did you look inside the wrapper? You will find the Fjellvettregler. The most important rules to hiking in the mountains.
The Kvikk Lunsj is a bit of a seasonal snack, as we are very fond of that as a supplement to a fast little meal when we are going skiing or enjoy a weekend at our cottage or such. A normal small meal (or quick lunch) on tour consists normally of fruit, like an Orange, maybe a packed sandwich, Kvikk Lunsj and some warm drink when it is cold, like hot chocolate, cocoa or coffee in a thermos container. Many also prefere that over other chocolate snacks as it is simple, everybody likes it, relatively cheap to buy and near Easter holiday it is normally on sale in large packs, and many serve them as a snack to coffee if we entertain guests.
You should do this more, you should try the chocolate that Freia creates! Its the *best chocolate in the world* in my opinion and it is REALLY popular here 😂 🍫
Second best. After Nidar.
Freia melkesjokolade er den mest spiste sjokoladen i Norge 👍
Freia er ikke mye norsk, solgte seg ut. Nidar og tilogmed Minde er mer norsk. Bergene melkesjokolade, Stratos 👌

Hello Tyler! 😊 I watch your videos for a year or even more than a year already. Im happy u get to taste kvikk lunsj! 😻 Im now here in San Francisco and I have a bunch or norwegian chocolates with me. Btw I live in Stavanger, Norway. 😊👍🏽
Somewhere, in a dark vault beneath Freia headquarters, a group of people are now gathered around the urn of Johan T. Holst, all clad in Marius sweaters and wadmal trousers. As the leader of the group utters "Oh, Enlightened One, we have converted another", the urn faintly glows in red, white, and blue, as Edvard Grieg's Morgenstemning starts playing out from nowhere in the surrounding darkness.
Send this man a care package 🎁 i'm here for more of that asmr,
Noen burde ta ansvar, og sende blant annet, Nugatti ! ✨🐮
Happy new year to all 🪄

I was soooo excited when I saw what todays video was about 😍😄😄 I really enjoyed this 😉
Finally you tasted something from Norway too. Just like with the Canadian chips I hope you get sent some Norwegian and British chips.
I would love if you tasted more Norwegian candy, drinks and food!
I have wanted to see this for so long!
When skiing when I was young we always brought a Kvikk Lunsj, an orange and a bottle of Solo or Fanta 😁👍🏻
You must look at the inside of the wrapping paper, it's a story or the safety rules of hiking, skiing in the Norwegian natur/mountains 👍🏻
Love that you finaly eat kvikk lunsj. Its so fun.😅 well we might send som more fun things from Norway..🎉🎉😂
Now we only have to get Freia to send the rest of their selection of candy to Tyler :)
Easter holiday, skiing hikes in the mountains, alot of oranges and kvikklunch.
KVIKK LUNSJ IS A CLASSIC HERE IN NORWAY 🗣🗣🔥
On our cross country skiing trips during easter we're supposed to bring a kvikk lunsj and an orange.
I'm so happy some nice person sent this to you!
Awesome to here you like our chocolate. Would love to see you taste and react to more stuff from Norway.
Lol! Send the man some Smash, Crispo, Melkesjokolade and Stratos. And Krokanrull and Smil. This is so fun to watch!
Hmmm... Canada here and I now want to try Norwegian foods. 🍁
I absolutely love all your videos.
About the bird here is the story from Freia's website:
A number of competitions were organized to create buzz about Freia's products during the chocolate factory's first year of existence. In 1907, a competition was announced where the task was to decorate a box of cocoa. The winner of the competition was Oscar Carl Augen Kristoffersen, a 26-year-old retoucher who dreamed of becoming a painter. His contribution was a sitting marabou stork, and the rest is, as they say, history.
I got myself an KitKat advent calendar this year. Easy to say, I was sooo disappointed 😂
I was looking forward to you trying this, happy to hear that you liked it. Happy holidays! 🎉😊
This was surprisingly exiting to watch.
I hope you will do moore of theese.!
Quick Lunch is best served cold, on a peak of a hill or mountain together with a clementine and coffe from a thermos bottle. Also dont forget the Mountain Rules inside the wrapping!
Freia is a Norwegian chocolate company and it tastes amazing
I strongly recommend eating it cold, and it used to be better when it was packaged in aluminum foil.
You should read the inside of the kvikk lunsj wrapper. There is always a norwegian folk story or the «fjellvettregler» (hiking-rules) there.
If you go cross country skiing - it is quite convenient to eat kvikklunsj as it can be cold and it is easy to eat outside in the cold - easier than sandwiches.
I had side by side both kit kat and kvikk lunch. Difference where like it was more fat in the kit kat.
So basicly there are a few things in the typical norwegian hiking backpack. Kvikk lunch, coffee, grill sausage, orange, or solo, that is an orange soda, and a pair of dry socks :P This is due the winter, to keep the energy up. You never know what you face in the cold. Then small things with high energy is in our backpack.
The Kvikk Launch has rules in the mountains in it, if you get lost, or trapped in snow or storm. The form of the bar, is easy to get apart so you dont have to take off your mittens in the winter to get some fast energy, when you are on ski`s. Also easy to share with others. then just put it back in your pocket without eating the whole thing at once. Its looked at like a survival tool.
So basicly its normal for Norwegians to ski all day, or at least for a couple of hours. Then we take a 30min break before you go back. In the winter, your body get stiff, if you lack gluckose. Then you burn more energy due the cold. Lets say you are out in -4F. Your body burn trough alot of energy to keep the warmth.
The stats of the avrage consume seem to be pretty right. I dont eat more then maby 6 a year. Just on the longer hikes, or trips. Then a fun fact. Its best served cold from the fridge or out in the winter temp.
People say, that we have the best choclate in the world. Im not sure this is the truth, but its pretty good to my tasting. I have tried different choclate out there in the world. But i prefere norwegian choclate by a mile. Its sweeter, then its like sweet with milk. Not easy to tast it on that one. Pure choclate is different. But we usaly have only milk choclate, and its not like fat based like usaly what the rest of the world have. That is how you usaly can tell norwegian choclate from the standard cacao plant. Tends also to be more soure then sweet, then darker outside norway. This is how our choclate milk also taste like, with the powder and milk. Same thing. Light and sweet. Birds is just an crow, that is the logo of Freia. Freia is also norse mythology. Thor, freia etc.
Hoping for more reactions to eating norwegian foods 😄
Mackerel in tomato should be next. Tyler obviously doesn't eat enough fish.
@@DivineFalcon
😂 that would be interesting to watch, he would be trying to thread carefully as to not insult, but I mean if he hates fish like he claims he will not like it. So theres that😅
I had to join you in eating one myself Tyler. If you look on the inside of the packaging you'll find printed Fjellvettreglene which is advice for hiking safely. You can google them for translating into English.
As an Norwegian, i appreciate how you treat the kvikklunsj with respect.
/hj
The stork is the symbol for Freia. The factory that produce chocolate in Norway.
The birds are the Freia brand bird =) So a company brand really. It used to be a lot more stylised, but a lot of chocolates have been "dumbed down" visually over the years to cut costs =) It used to say KVIKK LUNSJ on the bars too when I was younger.
lets gooo it finaly cam etrue ive been waiting for you to do this
Now you are one of us! :D Next try Brunost!
we often eat them during skiing trips during easter break where we live in our cabins, every day or so we go on tours around mountains and more and when we taking a break every 500-1000 meters or so we re-energize by having by crack a bar of kvikk lunsj off to remain sharp enough to get from A to B to C to D for example sure we also have water break with it but yeah you get the point
This was a joy to watch, thank you for the great review
Always nice, optimistic and respectful. ❤😂❤
🍫❤🍫
You are funny to watch! I am Norwegian! This was fun! I could see you really liked it! Now you gotta find yourself a Norwegian lady hahah😅🫶 keep up the good work
The bird on the chocolate, is the Marabou stork, which was part of the Freia logo in the beginning.
Another fun part, is inside the wrapper, there is some text, which tells the Norwegian mountain code;
1. Plan your trip and inform others about your route
2. Adapt the planned routes according to your ability and conditions
3. Pay attention to the weather and avalanche warnings
4. be prepared for bad weather and frost, even if you intend for a short trip.
5. Bring any necessary equipment so you can help yourself and others
6. Chose safe routes, recognize avalanche terrain and unsafe ice
7. Use a map and compass, always know where you are on your trip
8. There is no shame in turning around.
9. Conserve energy and seek shelter if necessary.
YEEEEES! FINALLY! :D I'll have one in solidarity myself :D
But I will tell you right now, Tyler, If you ever get to taste the norwegian candy "Vepsebol" - (Beehive) and you DONT taste the powder on the inside, I'm unsubscribing! xD
I've had enough of people tasting our Beehives, not tasting the explotion on the inside, spitting out after 30 seconds and complaints about it being nothing fancy xD
Super exciting even if it was just one taste test🤩😍 I hope you will receive more, or maybe you have but you are just spreading it out😉.
I had a kvikk lunsj as I was watching since I actually had a couple in the kitchen.
My memories of this chocolate are two fold. The first one is of me being out in the winter snow during Easter. Eating Kvikk Lunsj and drinking Solo (an orange flavored soda). The 2nd fold of my memory of this is my brother and I buying an obscene amount of this when he came to visit and just eat it non stop. I am not sure about now, but it seemed to have really strong sales relatively often, so it became so cheap to buy all they had at the store.
Freia has the best Norwegian chocolate products. Try their traditional milk chocolate😉. And yes Kvikk lønsj is our version of a Kit Kat, but try them together and you’ll quickly find a favourite 😉
Thank you! 🥰
Sure,- - Kvikk Lunsj is very Norwegian, but we have other chocolate bars just as Norwegian, like Firkløver. We have a lot of amazing tasting chocolate. If anybody is brave enough to send Tyler Brunost, you have to send him a cheese slicer as well. Another typical Norwegian product is called Prim. That is Brunost as a spread. I'm addicted to the stuff. 😋
it looks like a kit kat but you can clearly tell the kvikk lunsj is higher quality chocolate, it tastes way better !
You open it that way for sharing the bars.
In our family - we would typically share one bar from one chocolate to each, and then open a new one to share - even if we have 4 chocolates for 4 people:-)
The bird is Freias company logo since 1915
A marabu stork
omggg finally! 😂
I love kvikklunsj and Norwegian chocolate in general. Our milk chocolate specifically
It's also common in the US to use vegetable oils and fats as a substitute for cocoa butter, although this makes the chocolate greasier and it melts faster
Low quality.
Don't know if you noticed or not but inside the wrapping there is a short story in it. That you can read for the kids on the hike :D And the bird is the logo for Freia (the chocolate company that makes it)
WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
Beste reklamen for Kvikk Lunsj jeg har sett.
Kvikk Lunsj is the best! Was so happy when I found them in Sweden.
Funny, I was in America, and we handed out Norwegian milk chocolate to people we got to know a little. 😊 And one guy said the same thing as you. "Wow, that was rich" I also like to try out candy, snacks and food from other countries. Hope to see more wideoes like this. 👍
you need to try the yellow bar of Freia Melkesjokolade I am sure you'll love it
You should try Snurring.
A mix of meat like pork and cattle and lots of other ingredients.
Very nutrious, delicious and easy to just heat up on longer hikes.
It can be dinner at home also. Yummy with fried eggs on top 😋
They do sell KitKat at some special stores that make a point to sell things from foregin countries. This is more or less a recent development over the last few years.
But you can not find KitKats in your avarge, everyday store.
The inside of the wrapper also got a norwegian folk-tale ;)
Finally! This was fun 🤩
Try Freia melkesjokolade= milk
Chocklett it is Norges best chocklate
Its a a reason for the wrappingpaper instruction: if you open it 100%you can use the wrapper as a "plate" and not holding the whole chocolate in your hand beacuse it melts faster since your hand are warm. + on a ski trip or hike you dont want chocolate on your hands (beacuse it gets on the inside of your gloves) or holding it with your gloves
A trick I learned from my brothers was dipping the kvikk lunsj in hot cocoa for a little bit, btw the birds on the chocolate is just the logo of freya!
You look much more interested and motivated in this video than when you react to videos 😅😁
FINALY one on RUclips who eat the Kvikk Lunsj (Quick Luch) by Freia the right way !! 😅 (The birds on the Kvikk Lunsj is one of Freia's logos). And yes! We Norwegians use this as a "pick me up" on hikes :)
And BTW: Mondelēz International owns the Freia Company today : I hope you Americans learns how to make , and eat, "kit Kat" the right way ;)
Yeah, it's very difficult to get Kitkat in Norway. You either have to go to a specialty shop, go to Sweden, or import it. There is no market for Kitkat in Norway.
@Don_Coyote
It’s not, but buying from an online shop abroad you pay a lot extra in shipping and taxes. You could probably find it in a specialty candy store or an online one sitatued in Norway. But I don’t know anyone who actually likes it and would go the mile to get one.
@Don_Coyote That is the definition of import, which I did specify were one of the options you have if you wanted to buy a KitKat in Norway. Would probably still be cheaper to either buy it from a specialty store or go to Sweden.
@Don_Coyote "But I digress" *continues to blabber on* No Circle Ks, Narvesens or 7-Elevens around me carry Kitkats. A quick google shows that Narvesen in Latvia (probably also Lithuania then) carry KitKats.
To your point of grocery stores just carrying the most necessary items, that's total BS. Ask anyone if they've ever bought every single item that a grocery store carries. They'd likely say they don't even know all the items a store carries without having to go through aisle after aisle.
So, yeah, if you need to actively look for something to buy it, then it's quite difficult to get, in my book. The online stores you can get a KitKat from are, again - to my point, either specialty stores, or not Norwegian stores.
@Don_Coyote I too was shocked to find out that Narvesen is in both Latvia and Lithuania. I have not been hunting for KitKat as I don't eat much sweets, but I've never seen a KitKat in a sweets aisle in a Norwegian grocery store or kiosk. (I have, however, seen KitKat flavoured ice cream at Meny before, which I guess is a bit ironic)
Back in the days it was survival lessions on the Kvikk Lunsj chocolates, back in the days with aluminum wrapped inner white paper with stamped small birds on the silver, and with a outer layer of tri-color paper cover on them where it was open in both ends.
And there on the outer layer on the backside it was those survival tricks one could learn, to how to dig a snow cave, start a fire or similar.
You did slide the inner silver bar out of the outer colored layer and itwas nice holding a silver looking like a .999 silver bar in your hands. And open the silver bird paper much the same way you do the plastic, but it was no need for any force to open it, it was like a christmas gift wrap where the silk bands was the outer layer wrap.
It was just beautiful to open.
So of course they had to find a way to at least make the opening of the new plastic wrapping somewhat decent :)
Also the chocolate got faster dried out and harder, but i actually did like the dried out chocolate better than the in my eyes too soft chocolate in these plastic wrappers of today.
Probably not as waterproof as of today if i should search for an advantage of the modern plastic wrapping, it can be useful if you fall into the water to have a dry chocolate to eat perhaps possibly lol :)
Now, ask someone to send you some Smash from Nidar chocolate, they are good, the rice cone style, salty and sweet, it is a nice combination makes my mouth watery lol :)
The bird on it is the logo to the brand of Freia.
Impressed it wasn't broken in the mail. Also really sad one can't even get these goodies in bl00ddy sweden unless close to the border.
Amen. I don't get it either! I always buy a bunch of them when I visit norway. I'd definiely buy them over kitkat if they got sold here. I rarely ever get kitkats as it is. Greetings from Skåne :)
the bird is a stork and it is the brand logo as welll, the waffer is made to be weak in taste and the choco is made from the traditional way of making chocolate
The "birds" are the logo for Freia, check the outside of the rapping. And check the inside of the rapping often there says someting there. Like the "fjellvettsregler" That give you 10 tips on how to behive in the mountain.
Disgustingly powerful in a good way 😄
The Kvikk Lunsj was meant to be an improved Kit Kat in the 30s. Instead of importing the original, Freia wanted similar but better. I say they succeeded! It was made to fit inside the pockets of an anorakk (parka), a garment that had become very popular among hiking and skiing Norwegians. After WW2, it was marketed as a part of being Norwegian, and that definitely did the trick 😄
Kvikk Lunsj (1937) IS a copy of the Kit Kat, Freia had people in England who tried it in 1935, but it is also endlessly better than the original. So who cares? We won 😄
(Also, Nestlé tried to copyright the shape and concept of the Kit Kat, but lost the case and Freia could continue the Kvikk Lunsj in its original form.)
kitt kat was a weak copy made later, kitkat lost courtcase about which was the original , and Freia is owned by american group now ,
@@breakfastbuddy5 Kitkat is the original. Kvikk Lunsj is the copy. But unlike most originals, the copy is the better option in this case.
Freia was bought by Mondelez in the 90s, but the chocolate is still 100% Norwegian. Allways has been, and allways will be.
@@breakfastbuddy5 No, KitKat was first introduced in 1935, Kvikk Lunsj in 1937. Freia had people in London (including the son of the owner of Freia, Johan Throne Holst) sampling the KitKat before they made their first Kvikk-Lunch (as it was called then) two years later.
The case in the European Court of Justice was not about who came first, but about ownership and copyrights in regards to the shape snd concept.
@@HASarpsborg but kitkat is trash ,
@@breakfastbuddy5 I don't eat them 👍
Iam from Norway and it is very normal for Norwegians to use them on hiks
Tyler... You need to try hiking and cross-country skiing! Gliding along a mountain trail with the sun dappling though the trees gives you an excuse to try Norwegion chocolate and thermos of tea... Few experiences better!
Let me know and i will send you some😊.
The stereothypic norwegian way is: your at the cabin in the mountains when it is easter. Its alot of snow, but now you have the sun and it is hot (for us) so skiing with the kids is perfect. You go as far as you think that the kids can take, then a little bit longer. Then you spot a rock that has no snow because of the temperature and say: lets sit down and eat Kvikk Lunch, oranges and drink hot chocolate😅. I have litteraly been in that situasjon many, many, many times.
For a while, I was worried that you were going to take å bite of the entire bar🫣
