  • Iceland is a wonderful place that sells candy. So I'm going to review their candy and hope that I develop a strong preference for licorice as I do.

    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)

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.

    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.

    Ammonium cloride is Salmiakki in Finland. It is a thing that gives you high blood preasure and people eat it by bags in here. The powder buck you hated: just salmiak .Turkish pebers, same stuff inside. I don’t like it and it can also be found in icecream. You can buy extra strong salmiak in pharmacies in here. And we made it in chemisty classes and ate it. Welcome to Finland, we are not ok here.

The twelfth one, Súper Sett (Chocolate covered liquorice bits, a derivetive of a candy called Eitt Sett where it was a seperate bar of chocolate and a small plate of liquorice).

    The Nordics and Europe in general share a lot of their candies among each other, hence why it can be difficult to find what's authentic from that certain country.
    Since I knew the majority of the candy and had time to waste,
    here's a list for those that wondered the origin of the candies:
    1- 2:51 - Iceland(Jóla Villiköttur - Freyja)
    2- 4:17 - Sweden(Franssons konfektyrer AB)
    3- 6:40 - Iceland(Nói Sírius - but currently owned by Norwegian company)
    4- 8:58 - UK(Sweet Bandit - sneaky bubbledust)
    5- 11:29 - Iceland(APPOLO LAKKRÌS - Tjörno Rúlla)
    6- 13:13 - Denmark(Mols Bolsjer - Chokolade & Pebermynte - Thanks to @Karaleecupcake)
    7- 15:00 - Denmark(Tyrkisk Peber - Fazer, originally Danish but owned by Finnish Fazer)
    8- 17:59 - Spain(Melody Pops - Chupa Chups)
    9- 20:16 - Sweden(Franssons konfektyrer AB - Mushroom nipples)
    10- 21:51 - Sweden(Hockey Pulver - Grahns konfektyr)
    11- 23:18 - Germany(Pinballs - Maoam)
    12- 24:31 - Iceland(Súper sett - Nói Siríus - Norwegian owned)
    13- 25:51 - Iceland(Opal - Nói Siríus)
    14- 28:27 - Denmark(Mols Bolsjer - Bismarks Klumper - Thanks to @Karaleecupcake)
    15- 31:14 - Iceland(Djöflar - Freyja)
    16- 33:50 - Belgium(Tubble Gum - Lutti - Currently owned by German company)
    17- 35:25 - Iceland(Risa Þristur)
    18- 36:28 - Denmark(Skolekridt)
    19- 37:43 - Finland(Tyrkisk Peber - Fazer - Made during Finnish ownership)

      6 - 13:13 is the Chokolade & Pebermynte from Mols Bolsjer as well

    With regards to that sneaky gum, that reminds me of the legend of I believe KitKats? That whatever leftover KitKats are tossed back into the mix and all KitKats therefore have some of the very first KitKats in them? It's something like that. I'm too invested to hit pause and investigate, and by the end I will have forgotten. ^_^

    The "nipples" are actually mushrooms, chanterelle to be exact. And they are Swedish. The hockey pulver is also Swedish. The skole kridt is most likely Danish, judging by the spelling. To tell if something is Icelandic, look at the letters. If there's a lot of ´ ` things on the letters it's probably Icelandic.

    Hey! I'm so glad you've tried the melody pops at 18:02! I'm not Nordic but this was one of my go-to childhood candies in the Middle East. It's definitely not from Iceland though. I barely blew into it, but man, I did enjoy sucking it off!
