Does anyone remember the finnish hard candy called merkkari? I haven’t seen them in stores in years? Did Fazer stop selling them? I have been looking for them for like 5 years? I loved the candy and would love to know if you have any idea where i might find this candy? Thank you in advance!

Just seeing this image made my teeth uncomfortable
Looks like the last version of it was discontinued in 2022.
Dentist’s favourite.
No where anymore. It was discontinued last year if i remember right. Too many dentist cases I’d figure
K-Citymarket
Oh the memories.
I miss them
Fazer bring back Merkkarit or there will be consequences.
I remember someone saying that they made little cuts to the candies because there was some cases where the candy got stuck in the henkitorvi
Don’t bite your teeth too hard on ’em.
Näissäki on liikaa hedelmiä nykyään. SAATANA!
When I was a young kid this candy clog my airways and was close to kill me.
You better make an appointment to your dentist ready before buying that shit, because I guarantee that half of your fillings will stick to candy instead of tooth.
They were so tasty, but they don’t exist any more 🙁 all the good stuff gets discontinued!
I almost choked on one in the 90s.
It’s gone. My favourite substitute is Haribo’s Super Piratos – heavier om the salt and less, erm, potentially lethal on the consistency.
Nowhere as the company ceased its production. I qm truly pisded as they were the best salmiakki.
This image is hurting my teeth
Last time I ate them was back when they were larger and sold in kiosks. Price was per individual candy, not by weight. I never knew these were sold as recently as few years ago.
Have been out of production some years allready.
I have eaten those a lot and never had a problems any kind.
Simple to understand that you never bite hard candy, you suck and melt it on yor mouth.
And if it got stuck on roof of your mout… Just lick it there.
Why someone are so stupid that bites hard candy?
I wonder what the hell people did to get those on their throat.
Suggestion. Restart production of these and put age restriction to it god damn it. If some stupid adult shokes on these and there were warning about it then it is just bad luck to that person.
I miss those. They were so delicious
Miks suomalaiset puhuu täälä englantia keskenään?
There is a shop at Turun Kauppahalli where you can still buy them. My brother in law just bought them today.
Have not seen real merkkari for 30+ years. It was sold 20 pennies one piece if I recall right.
I work at fazer and we dont make them anymore 🤥
Immediately missing my childhood after seeing this! 🥲
These are not the originals. I used to buy those from the local candy store by telling the salesperson how many individual candies of what ever sort i wanted.
Talk about decline of the level of services in our society.
The original ones were discontinued due to choking hazard. They were a lot bigger than these ones.
