Dear Swedish friends, I like the Swedish people a lot. I have met a lot Swedes in the past, and you guys are so nice, kind, friendly. Which is why I ask this question: How the hell do you guys eat this candy? I finally tried it and its absolutely disgusting.

1. You dont eat it per se we just kinda suffer through it like a manlyness test.

2. I havent eaten that brand but i love them. Salty licorice is the best

3. Never seen that before. But if you’re talking about salmiak or licorice in general it’s fantastic. You should try “Djungelvrål” instead.

4. Salty liquorice is the shit!
   But tbh, the thing you posted don’t look swedish at all…

5. Thats Finnish candy, not Swedish

6. This is Dutch

7. This is dutch or belgian haha

8. They are dutch, but they are actually manufactured by the dutch branch of Cloetta, a Swedish candy manufacturer that now has production in several countries.

9. Thats dutch

10. Saltlääääääääääääääääääääääkris e gött

11. This is some abomination from the low countries. Accept no [substitutes!](https://godis247.se/fazer-tyrkisk-peber-original-300g.html)

12. Every country has candy that some find disgusting. Where are you from?

13. That’s not a swedish brand, never seen it in my life

14. It an acquired taste trained from childhood

15. We eat them with a lot of prejudice since they’re dutch, but we still love them because they’re salt liqorice

16. Fuck off Yank

17. Salmiak is licorice worse tasting cousin.

18. It’s dutch. Want something Swedish? Try SVENSKJÄVLAR
    Those are fantastic !!!!! (but I’m willing to bet you hate those even more )

19. The secret truth is that the majority of us don’t enjoy salmiak, but the enthusiasts are louder… and your sample is not from here.

20. Anything with licorice is disgusting and should be burnt.😅

21. I don’t know consider that’s not even Swedish candy…

22. You’ve essentially decided to start by trying some of the most hardcore salmiak-tasting shit. While that’s fine for us addicts, you wouldn’t start off your journey into spicy food by eating a whole fresh carolina reaper and then say “no, spicy food isn’t for me!”

    You should have started with some chocolate covered variations. These have surfaced in the past 10 years or so and are sort of like artisinal chocolates of the licourice world.

    [Something like this.](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cx3xynppOoyHk58TI6Pegfdg2tY3qT2nA8YY9DDveA6k7iNq0FoSHSfYkBQQYzfac24AmlGhgJCtPYqzN52Ns1D41UhHGXPbFDQ=l80-w780-h790-nu)

    Even better are the white chocolate versions as the white chocolate takes some of the oomph out of the licourice.

23. >I finally tried it and its absolutely disgusting.

    Hot take. Never heard that one before.

24. Lakrisal has entered the chat

25. Salty Liquorice is Pog

26. That is Dutch stuff that I buy from Albert Hein. You should have bought the white crayon or vita kritor (Swedish) licorice candy that they have. It’s so good.

27. The best way to fall in love with disgusting candy: make sure you have nothing else at home. Smoke a lot. Build up a serious case of munchies. Give in.

28. I’m not a big fan of licorice but vanilla ice cream with salted licorice sprinkles is the shit.
