    For our second video looking into the gorgeous country of Norway, we grabbed a handful of Norwegian snacks to taste for the first time from our incredible International Market. This video is highly informative about some of Norway's history, people, geography, culture, wealth and so much more! This was a jam packed episode of all things Norway and we loved it!

      Hello from Norway. You guys are so funny. I was laughing so hard about the Voss water. haha
      And the "tyrkisk pepper" is my favorite candy! So ruuuude to give it a 1! 😅
      If you are interested in Norwegian music, you should check out AURORA and her music video "Queendom" It has become a LGBTQIA2S+ anthem all over the world. She's a touring artist and speak up for the community at every show. She sing that song while running and dancing all over the stage waving the pride flag. She also have a song called "Cure for me". She wrote it because she is so angry about conversion therapy still being legal in several countries. She is a VERY loved artist, because she is so genuine, kind and down to earth. She's also extremely quirky and funny. lol

    Oh, they made such a big mistake in that video. The right to roam does not mean you can go anywhere you want as long as it's not private property. It means you can go anywhere you want even if it _is_ private property. As long as you stay 400m away from any residences, you can pretty much set up tent and stay for two days without asking permission from anyone. The key in Norway is respect. It is called The Law of the City of Kardemomme; «You _must_ not be mean to others, you _shall_ be easy and kind. Apart from that, you can do whatever you want». It's almost literally true. If you can build a reputation for being respectful, helpful, friendly and kind, you can get away with pretty much anything.

Intended to be mounted on battleships, but no battleships were built for them. Of the 12 guns built, 4 of them are in Harstad (one is open for public). Some of the other guns were scrapped. The barrel is 20 meters long. I was inside the gun 30 years ago.

    Great reaction as always - fun that you guys explore Norway. 😄 This video was accurate, but very fast paced. I love licorice as almost every other Norwegian. We mostly import licorice candy from Finland. I think the one you tried is Finnish, but it's a commonly known candy here and sold at every Norwegian supermarked, so I would say it's kind of "Norwegian". Smil (meaning smile) is one of my favorites. Good pronunciation of Firekløver (firekløver = clover)😊We are known for our milk chocolate. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🤗

    The chocolate is better than the American because we use milk.
    The American chocolate uses dry milk, which is why you get the bitterness. It contains the same enzyme that gives its taste to vomit. :P
    Fun fact:
    The town York in Jorvik, in the UK was founded by Norwegian vikings.
    This means that a small place founded a little later, in the east coast of the US, actually has a name that comes from Norway. ;)

    As a Norwegian I can say that was pretty accurate (for how brief it was). The cultural part was probably the weakest. Nothing untrue, but not as to the point as many of the others. The one thing that was incorrect is that the king and government were in Scotland during WWII. They were in London (England,), and hence Oslo sends a Christmas tree to London as a gift every year. Fun fact: Your "alternate" pronunciation of caramel is quite much as it is pronounced in Norwegian (same A-sound).

      Well, better than Tequila is a bit like saying drier than water, isn't it? I'd compare it to Sambucca, or if not very experienced with shots, just call it hot'n'sweet, like that store bought stuff. It does taste way better when made from the candy and vodka. Fun fact, you can't do it with pure spirits (96% - illegal in Norway), it has to be some water content, or the candy will not dissolve. Also works with a plethora of other candy, but "Tyrker-shots" are by far the most common. Kongen av Danmark (the king of Denmark candy) works really well too, and most of the non-sugar-free stuff works.

    Happy to see you guys dive more into our beautiful country :) Yes, we have excellent milk chocolate. I know the Swiss are known for their chocolate, but honestly for me nothing tops ours, lol. I especially love it with air bubbles (makes it melt on the tongue even more) and/or with hazel nuts in it (got both melkerull and firkløver at home).
    Your pronounciation attempt wasn't that bad (honestly I am just happy you dared to try, especially going completely blind into it), the hard part is knowing how our vowels sound like (as many of them don't correspond to the english vowel sounds), so gonna attempt to guide you on that. In the three bits, put emphasis on the middle beat of the word fir-klø-ver. The "i" sound is very much like the sound of english words with "ee", the "ø" you would use the vowel sound in the english words "fir"/"fur", and the last bit would be similar to the word "where", just with a more pronouned v-sound and a rolling r.
    I don't have a car myself, so the only way I keep up on gas prices nowadays is when I walk past a gas station, and from what I can see gas is now usually 20-25 NOK per liter, with today's exchange rate that makes gas prices between 7-8.8 USD per gallon (in the video it was 17,2 NOK per liter, 7.50 USD per gallon)
    As soon as you showed the Voss water bottle, I was anticipating the reaction to that bit of the video, lol. To be fair, we do have really great tap water here. The only thing I would say beats the water we have from the tap melted glacier water as it's so cold and fresh. If you ever hike up to a glacier here, find a stream coming down from the glacier and just fill up your bottle, you will appreciate it.
    Don't worry about not liking Tyrkisk pepper, I'm not a liquorish person myself, so I avoid all that stuff like the plague.
    If I was to recommend other Norwegian candy to be on the lookout for, here are some suggestions:
    Smash (salty corn bugles covered with milk chocolate, I always bring this with me whenever I travel to share with people, it's an addictive salt and sweet combo, I have a Canadian friend who lives in the UK that I've visited and she refers to me as her Smash dealer, because she got so hooked on it, lol)
    Smørbukk (another one I always bring with me to introduce to people, the kind I prefer is a hard toffee that slowly soften on your tongue - they do have a softer one with chocolate coating, but I don't think it's as good)
    Stratos (milk chocolate with air bubbles, really melts on your tongue)

    Turkish Peber/Pepper is Danish, but we all eat and share our candies, for the most part.
    About our chocolate, it can be more melty as it doesn't have conservatives to keep it from melting, which in return makes it more creamy.
    We pride over our chocolate, just saddening that the company is bought and owned by Mondelez.
    About the video, there are a few mistakes,
    you can die in Svalbard, you just can't be buried in Svalbard, because of the permafrost.
    We don't put mayonnaise on Taco, but "rømme dressing", which is closer to Sour cream/Crème fraîche.
    Also, about the viking history, Denmark and Sweden were both very active in the Viking age, but mainly focused on different areas.
    Sweden went via Finland, Estonia, Russia, there are even theories that the original Russia stem from Swedish Vikings.
    Denmark focused mainly on England, even controlled it for a while, also focused around south Europe.
    While Norway generally focused around Scotland, Ireland and North America.
    But, in many of the conquests, all countries have participated in some form or another.
    Often big debates on which famous Viking came from where, like Rollo is debated to be either Danish or Norwegian-Icelandic.

I recommend The sun always shines on TV, Manhattan Skyline, Stay on these roads, Summer moved on, Foot of the Mountain and from their last album I'm In.

    I work in the municipality where the Voss factory is. They draw their water from the same basin and have been tested as chemically identical. My boss keeps his fridge full of Voss bottles that he refills from the tap, as he finds it hilarious to serve to people and point out it's 'free'. Next to where the water is drawn, is one of Europe's largest scout campsites and also a large recreational cabin for the regional mental hospital. So I usually think of Voss-water as water-flavored scout-pee laced with all the drugs.

    The tyrkisk pepper is really just for people who already likes it. I personally love turkish pepper because normal licorice is too sweet for me and the spicyness makes it better in my oppinion.
    My mother has for years been putting like a bag of turkish pepper into absolute vodka and leaving it to simmer for a few days, it was the first alcohol i tasted that wasnt beer. so good.
    I allways find it so fun that americans or anyone else that dont speak norwegian for that matter, try to pronounce the candy in such specific ways. Like 90% of candy brands we got is literally extremly similar to english words, melke rull? Milk roll, firkløver? Four clover (like a four leaf clover), sjokolade? Chocolate. Kvikk lunsj?

There he was met by a train operater eager to go home (goverment employees don't work overtime). The operater showed him how to operate the train, handed him a bottle of "Jack" from the production team, wished him good luck and went home. And that's supposedly how he got to the production, a 195km solo trip from Oslo to Finse, operating the train himself.
