      Hey, om swedish and yes oreo chocolate is popular in Sweden, The swedish fish im kinda tierd of beacause it’s original in Sweden and only tast like strawberries but sometimes it doesn’t taste like it, Thoes black Sour gummies is called lakrits, it’s like law and krist, I know kinda weird haha 😝, and plop is good I kinda like that but u may get a little soggy on the fingers and sticky, And the vegan thing I kinda don’t like so much, the bread that u said was kinda dry but tasted healthy is called, KnĂ€ckebröd. Its a sort of bread that is dry and doesn’t taste so much, Some people loves knĂ€ckebröd. And the other stuff u tried is a 10/10 but you sould next time try Swedish drinks or Swedish Snacks, like popcorn or chips and the dip would make is better(dip it’s like a sauce u dip the chips in) by the way I love your videos and when you try other countries food! Hope you will read this! ❀

      I wouldn't say these are five snacks, it's one snack and four kinds of candy. And the Oreo chocolate bar is probably the one that is the least like any other Marabou chocolate bar.
      The salt on the Salta S is not sodium chloride, liquorice become salty by adding another salt - ammonium chloride, or salmiak. Salmiak is very potent and is very diluted with sugar even for this extra salty candy. If you really want good liquorice you should visit Finland, they really make the best liquorice and salty liquorice.
      A small note on the translation app: Adjö has become a sort of archaic to say farewell ("farvÀl" is archaic as well). We simply say "hej dÄ".

    I swear, 99% of swedes secret hobby is watching foreign people try our salt candy.
    Its kinda hilarious as it so normal to us, even so we completely understand the absollute shock it must be to non-scandenavians.
    Im quite impressed how far you went with it. most immediately spit it out and never touch it again.
    And, yes, at least from what Ive heard from other foreign people, it is an aquired taste.
    Even tho many never give it a second chance, some do and it seems they've come to like it.
    I cant really vouch for this as I, probably like most swedes who likes it, has been eating it since before I can really rmember.
    But some people I know who came here from abroad didnt like it when they got here but like it now so, who am I to argue?

    That cracker is what we call "KnÀckebröd" which was basically made, along with pickled vegetables, dried fish etc as food to bring with you on long journeys and to survive winters. It's very common thing to eat as breakfast, mostly with butter on and various condiments like ham with cucumber, paprika, tomatoes etc on it. Eating it just with that filling will indeed make it feel dry without anything to drink with it, especially if you're not used to it. There's a lot of different types of KnÀckebröd with different types of herbs and spices (not chilis or stuff like that, but seeds etc).

    The sandwhich isn't a snack per se, but something we call "mellanmÄl" (directly translates to "middle meal" but roughly rather means "meal in between meals"). It's just something you're supposed to eat in between meals if suddenly hungry, or maybe add to a quick breakfast if you're travelling or on the road.
    Oh, and also, "Swedish Fish" isn't normally sold in pre-packed bags in Sweden. You buy them in "lösvikt" (no idea how that translates, but when you pick candy in a paper bag like a la carte).

    If you go to a candy department in Finland, half the content is black -- licorice and salmiak. They know what they love and managed to make a wonderful chocolate-salmiak mix 15-20 years ago (that was copied by us in Sweden). It shouldn't be possible, like putting chocolate on potatoes, but they did it. Sheer sisu and a Manhattan (/Esbo?) Project, I'd guess. 😅
    I think you can find salmiak-chocolate all the way south as northern Germany and England, we're happy to give salmiak and surströmming back to them, as thanks for their great beers! đŸ€Ž

    Marabou (I rhyme it with Caribou) isn't a Swedish word, it's actually the name of a kind of stork, the Marabou Stork. According to Wikipedia the origin could be Amharic. If you visit a convenience store (like ICA, Hemköp, or a Coop) keep your eyes peeled for Ballerina biscuits. I'd say they're more or less our equivalent to Oreos. The standard Ballerina is composed of two biscuits, one vanilla shortbread, and one chocolate, sandwiching a layer of nougat.
    I'm really impressed that you went back for a second bite of that Salt Skum (Skum roughly translates to Foam, but could also mean suspicious, unsure if it's a play on words since they look like rocks?). That specific type of candy is rather polarising, in the sense that very few are indifferent towards it. Generally people either love it, or hate it.
    When I visited Massachusetts a few years back, my absolute favourite thing were these little bags of like, I think freeze-dried cheese. They were called Moon Cheese, and my friend urged me to try them when we went by CVS to refill her prescription. I got obsessed! As far as I know, we don't have anything like that here in Sweden.

    There are several stuff that is saltier than salt.
    In the most northern countries, we have always had problem finding salt since it originally came from evaporated ocean/salt water (evaporation require heat).
    We are hardwired to like salt since it was uncommon until lately (100 y ago). Salmiak is THE saltiest stuff in existence.

    So about the Swedish Fish. It's a rabbit hole to go down. Because Swedish Fish are actually not Swedish, but they also are... sort of. The original recipe was made by a Swedish candy manufacturer, who then wanted to sell it in North America. But Swedish Fish is made by a company in Canada, so it's not Swedish, and you can't find it in Sweden. But we have our own form, and it's sold in little boxes. I think it's called Zoo here (I'm sure someone in the comments can refresh my memory)? So it's not Swedish, but it is, but it isn't. Make sense?
    Also, going in for another try of the salt licorice was very brave. Because of our cultural history (salting is one of the best ways to preserve food) Nordic countries use an insane amount of salt and we're used to a lot more than most other cultures. It's okay to not like things too, most people give it a low score and that's fine. I commend you for keeping an open mind and turning into a positive experience though.

    Much food in Sweden have a lot of salt in or on it. I guess it is in bedded in our gens sins the middle ages when we use salt to prolong and store the food. The premade crackers is a meal that you can take on the go and that keep you fed for a long time because of the fiber. You should have tried polkagris or polka-cains if you haven't tried before

      It's definitely a healthier breakfast then what Americans usually eat for breakfast.
      And it's really convenient.
      Instead of containing preservatives it's just dry.
      The stuff in between on that one isn't quite as dry.
      But it's possible to eat with things that's canned or dried too.
      Meaning that some crisp bread like that and with other thing that holds for literally years you can have a breakfast ready in a cabin that you bought and brought there perhaps 3-4 years earlier and it's still good food and ready to bring with you out when going skiing.
      What you bought...
      It doesn't last as long...
      To put it mildly...

    Swedish fish doesn’t exist in Sweden but is sold in other countries such as America where the market is big.

    Swedish Fish, despite their name, are not originally from Sweden. They were created by the Swedish confectionery company Malaco in the late 1950s specifically for the North American market. So they are much more popular in North America and actually pretty rare in Sweden.

    Hi, swede here! Just want to say I loved this video. You are really sweet and have great reactions, and I always laugh seing someone try our salty candy. We swedes do have a lot of liquorice, and it's always fun to see someone foreign try!
    "Salt Skum" means "salty foam", and it refers to the foamy texture. Im sure other people have said this, but if you wanted to try to the most stereotypical salty liquorice its called "djungelvrÄl", which translates to "djungle roar" or "roar of the djungle" and its both salty and sticks to your teeth. I could easily eat a packet of salt skum, but a whole packet of djungelvrÄl?, that takes a while! And also, yeah its not only salt but often other types of acids as well, which gives it extra punch! Even worse is "SvenskjÀvlar", meaning "swedish bastards" and its crazy sour!! its fun to try though!
    "Gott och blandat" directly translates to "good and mixed", and its really popular here. There are 2 types of liquorice in that bag, both sweet liquorice, but the harder ones that stick to your teeth is made without gluten, and the honeycomb shaped ones are made with gluten, and are therefore softer!
    Marabou is just sweet milk chocolate with different flavours and stuff in them, and I personally do not really care for either them or "plopp", its just kind of too sweet!

    Salty salmiak has to be endured, then it instantly becomes easier. Salta S-mÀrken is low level candy though.
