    Ok so just a little correction to the Karl Fazer story he was never Swedish he was born in Helsinki 16 August 1866 and his father was a Swiss born man so no relation to Sweden. If my memory serves his original last name was Faltzer and i think ppl had hard time announcing it or something so he dropped the L so he became Fazer. I saw the video about his life that's the only reason i remember even half of this stuff plus a huge fan of him chocolates so i guess that helped too :D

      Finland was before that directly a part of Sweden over 600 years
      Being an autonomious oblast of Russia 100 years Finland had a lot of privileges. It had own government. Swedish was the official language. It had own postoffice, swedish laws etc. Also Finland was strongly existing. Also Finland was called east Sweden.

    Karl Fazer has parents who moved from Switzerland. The recipe is also Swiss, but not brought by their family. Karl's son Sven got the recipe from an Englishman as a thank you for helping his son-in-law.
    Ps. If you are a fan of Swiss chocolate, you propably like Fazer Blue.

    With pronounciating, in Finnish we read everything as its written so for example fajita is pronounced the way it is in Finnish, becuase it's written with J, to have people pronounce it correctly, would only really be possible if the name was changed from fajita to fahita (as people are already used to pronounce it the way it currently is), this is true to all loan words really, like in English they pronounce lot of things differently from how they are written as well as Spanish, but in Finnish all words match their pronounciating exactly.. Though Sauna is also pronounced in wrong way in say English, when its loan word from Finnish, so it's not just Finns that do it to others..

    • @diego.suomessa

    3:31 the system wasn't designed this way, this Finnish duopoly (if you don't count Lidl) is just the end result of the good ol' capitalism. Finland did have many small private stores in the past and even had a 3rd market chain before German Lidl came to Finland called Suomen Lähikauppa Oy (so until mid 2010s we had 4 market chains) which had smaller stores called Siwa and Valintatalo and hypermarkets called Euromarket and even those were independent companies before Lähikauppa bought them in the 90s. Then Lähikauppa had financial difficulties and Kesko bought almost all the stores owned by Lähikauppa in mid 2010s but few of them went to S-Group due to antitrust laws.
    There still exists a store chain that consists of independent store owners called M-ketju (M Chain) which got its start when some store owners didn't want to sell their stores to S-Group when S-Group bought out Dutch Spar chain's Finnish stores in 2006. And after Kesko bought Lähikauppa Oy in mid 2010s, anti-Kesko store owners joined M-ketju :D

    Diego, Thank you for the interesting grocery shopping trip. Was the total bill in Euros? Does Finland have anything similar to "Dollar" stores that we have in the U.S.? Those stores have small groceries whose prices can be lower than even Walmart. I believe Finland does not have Walmart. Thanks again.

    Don’t throw away those avocados ! The idea is one or two are ripe (or possibly none, often they are all raw) and rest will ripen within few days. You need patience, just leave them at room temperature and you’ll get perfect ripe avocados.
