Fazer family emigrated to Finland from Switzerland, so who knows how Fazer should be pronounced. Estrella brand is originally a Swedish one. Taffel would be a Finnish brand. Or more accurately an Åland islands one. From Taffel: Taffel Nacho Cheese Balls and Taffel Hot Rod. There were a lot more mmms than ews on your video before the Salmiakki bag came up. You pretty much said it all in your video, but here's Salmiakki explained: "Why Finland fell in love with salty liquorice". Good thing the video ended with a positive note though with Tutti Frutti. Some popular and iconic products from Fazer: Vihreät Kuulat, Pihlaja, Fazerin Parhain, Amerikan pastilleja, Geisha, Kismet, Pätkis, Fazerina and Da Capo. From Hellas (originally): Tupla. From Brunberg: Suukko and Tryffeli. And Kouvolan Lakritsi (company) produces the world's best licorice. Popular Salmiakki products: Vanhat Autot (Halva), Salmiakkisuklaa (Fazer) and Pantteri (Fazer). To freshen your breath: Mynthon products, Eucalyptus pastilli (Fazer) and Pectus (Fazer). For dental care: anything with xylitol. E.g. Jenkki chewing gums with xylitol (Originally by Hellas). Lemonades: Hartwall Jaffa and Hartwall Limonadi omena. A mystery drink & food: Tuoppi Kotikalja and Kalakalle kalakukko.
Even Finnish names and words have in historical times and probably before that had different forms. Even now there are different dialects and accents in addition to the more standardized Finnish language. One can defend the view that names should be independent from the language used. Basically usually you ask a person or a organization how to pronounce their name. They way Fazer has chosen to promote their name and the pronunciation has a well established tradition by now. Though they might choose to use different pronunciations for audience having different languages. All companies having international clients do that to some extent. Many foreign companies have chosen to use more Finnish sounding pronunciations of their names in their marketing materials. It can be seen as part of the localization process for each market or target group.
There has been fairly resent genetic research of ancient ,about 4000 year old, genetic material from old human populations in Finland. One of the results is that there is significant genetic material from Siperia, which is in the most northern part of Asia. That old population is still part of the current Finnish genetic pool. So at least some Finns could claim to be Asians too, partly anyway. Though most Finns are happy to be just Finns, or descending from some Finnish tribes, or being humans. Political and cultural association are more relevant for them. They know that there are all kinds of Europeans and most probably also understand that Asians aren't actually a homogeneous group either. Perhaps for political reasons there is emphasis on things like nationality or Asian regionalism. From cultural point of view, there are some common historical regional ingredients, of course. European populations have experienced some large scale historical developments, which can be seen as a foundation for some kind of European identity. I don't know the foundations for Asian identity so we'll, but I have some ideas. We Finns eat rice too, but it isn't like the addiction many Asian people seem to have. The first and key question for Asian immigrants or visitors seems to be: where do I find my rice. 😊 Perhaps I should say people from some parts of Asia excluding the northern parts.
Traditional snack suggestion: Kalakukko I don't like it so much, but its definitely traditional regional food often used as snack from Easter Finland- An other: Ilmakuivatu poronliha From Lapland From the coastal Finland: any of of the local fish products. One of my favorite snacks: Vispipuuro And of course Näkkileipä or ruisleipä
Looking from my perspective what you had where not actually snacks. You had sweets, which for me is a different almost separate category. For me a snack is more like picking an apple and having it as something quick not needing preparation and easy to take with you. The Finnish word eväs comes to mind in this context. Also sandwich like kauraleipä sandwich with coffee might be snack for me. In Lapland air dried meat is common snacks. All these are fairly or very traditional Finnish snacks in my book. About my perspective: picture a Finn older than you both together having more historical views than just what grocery stores like to sell as today's snacks.
You seem to want to emphasize your Asian identity. I thought that you might not know what kinds of ideas there was in earlier times about Finnish people. For most Europeans we where at least people from the east or from the northern part of Asia. That view turned out not to be totally true, but it can have some truth in it. We Finns are a mixture of biological traits and cultural influences from older times from many directions. Finnish language has been placed in a language family where there are some other existing languages telling something about old history. This from a Wikipedia article: " In 19th-century Europe, the perception that Finns were Mongolian was born, and scientists who had not necessarily even seen Finns wrote about the eastern appearance of Finns. Finns were said to be dark, short and slanted. According to a French researcher, the Finns otherwise looked like the Sami, except that the Finns had darker skin. A German who visited Finland wondered why there were no Finns living in Finland when there were no people like the ones described. A traveler from Helsinki thought he had seen both Germans and Mongols - and even the Mongols had the Germanic trait that they were pale."
Estrella's swedish, Taffel finnish
the orange one you picked from the salmiakki bag is the worst one for me of the whole bag haha!
