Tervapiru – in the eight years of living here, and besides loving my finnish wife, I don’t recall loving something as much as these little devils. However, I must conclude that fewer and fewer grocery stores have them. Is there a known supply crisis, or are they just going out of fashion?

1. Damn. These are that type of candies you love for the few first ones. But after few they start tasting quite bad.

   You have small break and they taste so delicious again.

2. They are up there with the best salmiakki candies !

   They are 12,90 / kg

3. They really are fantastic

4. Those are great. However, i’m kind of a Väyrysenpää guy myself. Need to get them every time I visit Finland.

5. You put one of these little mf in a bag, and other candies taste a tar 🫣

6. Wherever there is a Karkkikatu version of a pick-n-mix candy shelf, they should pack Tervapirus. Sooo many Lidls for example have Karkkikatu.

7. Nam.

8. Well damn you. I’m abroad for weeks and now drooling thinking about salmiakki..

9. Id you try to flush them down the toilet they will just float.

10. These candies takes hostages

12. They are disgusting to be honest. Tastes like eating the stuff they used to put on boats.
