    oooo…I love those things. I liked the citrus flavored kind myself. Very yummy and your teeth stick together when you eat them.

    Re the Swedish fish, I used to always get them when we went to Sears when I was little and they still had their snack counter. They were sooooooooo good. The ones I tend to find today always seem stale in comparison, so I don’t get them anymore. They are a fond childhood memory.

    these are the same people who bring us the swedish and scandinavian market at IKEA.

    that is so creative. very cool. I would’ve liked to seen it.
    Great idea!
    I’m definately stealing er, um, borrowing that idea the next time my niece visits. She’ll have a blast!

    If the "candied herring" line didn’t show it well enough, I was hoping the "gummy vasterbotten" comment would’ve driven the point home.

    It made me laugh[}:)]

    All kidding aside, swedish fish are the best of the "gummy" candies. Their flavors are unique and simply jump out at you, and they don’t stick together as they have a coating that prevents them from getting sticky. A great candy. Used to buy them all the time, but somehow got out of the habit. Now that I’m reminded of them I’ll have to look them up again. Thanks.

    Thanks. I’ll have to give them a try.

    I have seen bags of them in the candy aisle. They are always red. I always assumed they were cinnamon so I’ve never tried them. What flavor are they? Do they have the same consistency as gummi-type candies or more like gum drops?

    I think the first crime I ever commited was paying .25 and taking 30 Sweedish fish from the changemaker jar when I was about 6 years old.
    Good Times.

    Ive been eating swedish fish since I was about 6, thats 24 years ago. My local candy store in the bronx sold them from a huge glass jar, mostly the red ones. I absolutely love them to this day, luckily they are in the vending machine here at work in the yellow bag. Owls go hooo.
