Posted December 10, 2011 Yes. Too bad I choke on them. They'd be my favorite candy otherwise. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 10, 2011 Yes, Swedish fish are delicious enough for their own topic. My Day=made Share this post Link to post
Posted December 11, 2011 Because we were raised in a different culture which means we developed different tastes in food. People from India don't eat the same thing as people from Africa, so it makes sense we wouldn't eat the same things as people from other countries/cultures. There is nothing inherently wrong with our cultural tastes in food; it's just different. Yes, I realize. That was a rhetorical question! Although it's not just culture -- it's also business and marketing. Especially in America, a few big names tend to have control of any sector, including the candy sector. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 11, 2011 Why o why do Americans only like purely sweet licorice, and *fake* sweet licorice, at that!? Presumable for the same reason you put sugar in your bread (*has always been puzzeled by that*). Share this post Link to post
Posted December 11, 2011 When I saw the title of this thread I thought "Swedish Fish? Theres a thread about fish? who in their right minds would start a thread about fish?" The I click in and then I was like "OH Candy FISH!, What?" Ive never heard of Swedish fish. Im Australian closest thing we have I say are Gummi's like those bears. Dinosaur gummi's are the best. Kid- "Dont chop the dinosaur daddy!" Dad- "Nom nom" Kid- "Gasp!" Share this post Link to post

The I click in and then I was like "OH Candy FISH!, What?" Ive never heard of Swedish fish. Exactly my reaction as well. I thought it was fishes like perch or something. At least that was what popped up in my mind when I saw the thread title. Then again, I'm Swedish. (Not fond of gummy candy at all... I prefer chokolate and salty liquorice.)

Posted December 11, 2011 I love swedish fish! I used to buy them for 1 penny each at the local store when I was a little kid. Me too! Really, I don't like most other gummi candy, but Swedish fish are a different breed. Also, lolz at the idea of a thread about literal fish that are native to Sweden. Share this post Link to post

Posted December 12, 2011 I love Swedish Fish, they are the best. I put Haribo bears second. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Swedish Fish are ok, but I find them a bit too sweet. But that's coming from the girl who once ate three Cry Babies (really sour gum balls, just FYI) at once without puckering. Edited December 13, 2011 by HawktalonOfRiverClan Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2011 I love swedish fish personally. They're just right for me. Gummi Bears tend to be too chewy and I don't have the tolerance for sour worms. The head is always the first thing I bite off. >:3 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 13, 2011 Really? Wow! I would have loved being you as a kid! I've only just discovered them yet... *sigh* love at first bite. Yep. 1 penny each for swedish fish, flying saucer candy, and candy cigarettes. Those were the days lol. Share this post Link to post

Posted December 14, 2011 Candy cigarettes. Damn I remember those. Are they even allowed to sell them any more? Yeah, but most stores don't -- I love them, though. Pure sugar! I've found them in two places in the modern day, one a variety shop in Pittsburgh and one a candy store in a mall. I always have to buy several boxes to stock up. Share this post Link to post

I've found them in two places in the modern day, one a variety shop in Pittsburgh and one a candy store in a mall. I always have to buy several boxes to stock up. You MIGHT be able to find them in some place like Cracker Barrel's general store. I don't know if they have candy cigs, but they usually have old-timey candy. I think they even have satellite wafers. Maybe. Maybe not. Been a while since I've looked. :U But anyway, Swedish fish. c: There still seems to be some mystery and debate on the flavor of regular swedish fish. I always assumed it was lingonberry, since that's what it tastes like and I think lingonberry products like jam are common in Sweden and other areas like it. Not that Swedish fish are actually Swedish, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread, but they are based on Swedish candy and I assume also based on a common candy flavor there. But like, there are many people who just think it's strawberry, mixed fruit, or some other flavor. o: They must have never had lingonberries. >w< Share this post Link to post
