Korvmoj is Swedish slang that means "hotdog stand". Lördagsgodis means "Saturday candy", as kids here are told we only get to buy and eat candy on Saturday. Belöning means "reward". Daim said as dime was spot on! I'm one of those people who adore salmiak/ammonium chloride/salty liquorice, and I have done as long as I can remember. When I was around 6, I begged every weekend to walk into the city centre so I could buy my Saturday sweets at a shop there. This meant I could choose all the candy myself and they had a whole wall of liquorice pick-n-mix and I always just picked form that. Now as an adult I go for sour gummies and salty liquorice, and at the bottom of the bad there's usually some salty liquorice like the ones you had but with some sour residue on it, amazing! What makes pick-n-mix unique, other than the format, is that we have so much more gummy candies than what you can get anywhere else.
I stayed in Malmö for a couple months and was so surprised how popular liquorice is in Sweden. I enjoyed trying many varieties of it while there even if I don’t really like the stuff. Haha
I miss the Brach's Pick-a-Mix stand you used to find at most supermarkets. The Eight O'clock coffee grinder at A&P too. You could smell either from halfway up the aisle.
Saw too many kids just stick their hand in the Brachs, lick a few candies and then throw them back in. Often 2-3 year olds but sometimes 13-14 year olds. Nope. Never did that. I do love and miss the Brach's Burnt Peanut candies, but always got pre-packaged.
My husband and I were just talking about missing Brach’s Pick-a-Mix! I miss those cream chocolates and the soft toffees. I’m 60 and I never saw a Branch’s selection of candy that wasn’t individually wrapped. No opportunities to lick anything and actually not much hard candy.
Here in Sweden, pick and mix candy is huge! Every (there may be few exceptions) grocery store has pick and mix candy, usually close to the checkouts. I really like Djungelvrål, while yes, it tastes salty initially, but when you get through that salty cover, the licorice has a vanilla undertone to it (at least for me) I'll have to say though, the candy you got at IKEA is not really what a typical candy bowl would look like here in Sweden, we just have so many more options and often also include bite sized chocolates or chocolate covered pieces of candy (often the candy itself is like a firmer version of a marshmallow) Swedish candy often play with your senses through textures and combining sweet and sour and salty flavors. Usually freshness isn't an issue with pick and mix candy if you buy the more popular ones, it simply sells so fast that it doesn't really have time to become stale while in the containers in the store. Less popular stores or less popular types of candy, can however have issues with stale candy just because there's not enough rotation (and/or the store just doesn't give a damn and don't change out candies that have been in the containers for a while)
Agreed! Once you get used to the ammonium chloride it starts to taste sweet rather than salty. It's a kind of "grown up" sweet, like comparing milk chocolate to dark chocolate. This is the most amazing aspect to salty licorice, it transforms your sense of taste :D And tasting other things afterwards transforms those tastes too. Drinking coke after is a really different experience!
Fun fact for you, Emmy: the name of those sweets, "Lördagsgodis" (Lohr-das-go-dis) = "Saturday Candy" and refers to a traditional idea of eating sweets only on Saturday, as a practice for good dental health :) The pick-and-mix candy wall is hence a common treat for the saturday grocery shopping trip, when you want to get a little bit of everything for your one cheat day.
And we in Finland sometimes say Lösgodis, if they happen to be Swedish speakers :) literally meaning "loose candy" or irtokarkki in Finnish, aka pick & mix. Pick & mix is a serious business in Finland and Sweden, we both eat quite a lot of it per capita.
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 Not really. They did a horrible study (the Vipeholm experiments) at an institution for developmentally disabled in the forties and fifties, and that's when Saturday candy became the norm.
I once had a fainting episode in IKEA in NJ and was offered to sit in an interview room for a few minutes to recover where I fell asleep....AND THEY FORGOT ME! I woke up and the lights were dimmed and people were restocking shelves!
That must have been very surreal lol. That happened to me (not the fainting part) at a Planet Fitness. I fell asleep on the hydromassage and they never woke me up, I finally got up 3 hours later!
They expected you left on your own not took a random nap in a shop They can’t be expected to remember if you were shopping ill or not they’re just doing a job If you’re sick stay home - what if you fainted on a road or while driving It’s safer for everyone
They didn’t say anything about being sick. They said they had a fainting episode. There’s various medical conditions where you might feel faint. Maybe they have issues with blood sugar and just needed to sit down and eat something. And they didn’t say anything about driving. Maybe they use public transportation. Also Where I work, if someone had a medical emergency (which I would consider a fainting episode), we would probably have called EMS and would certainly have been checking on them at least periodically until they left. What if their medical condition changed and became life threatening? Management dropped a major ball there, IMO.
I'm not even a veggie but they are very nice, and I do appreciate that they don't try to make them look like meat. I found their not-dogs to be reminiscent in flavor to the breaded veggie sticks we used to get in school lunches.
I live in rural Western Massachusetts USA. A year ago, I was driving my daughter home from work around 10pm in my Prius. I came around a bend going uphill to meet a moose standing dead center in a smaller road. I think my Prius wasn't even up to his belly! I flashed my lights and honked the horn to no avail. When I saw another car approaching in the other lane, I got worried but they also stopped and finally after about 5 minutes the moose wandered off into the woods!
Those veggie dogs are served there with a sweet, purple pickled cabbage, thin fried onions and a little mustard. Another way to get the sweet and sour crunch is to top hotdogs with a little coleslaw and a little sauerkraut and Dijon.
Not any more. I was very disappointed when I had one this past week for the first time in years. No more pickled cabbage and the fried onions were just the dry French's fried onions.
Always a treat to watch a new Emmymade video. I’d probably get teary as well if we were ever to meet because your videos are always a great distraction from the stresses of life; very therapeutic😌
And definitely Dime on the pronounciation of Daim, and years ago, in the UK they spelled the brand as Dime, and famously there was an ad campaign with Harry Enfield promoting eating armadillos, "Crunchy on the outside, Soft on the inside, ARMADILLOS!!!", well, not literally but it was just the Dime bar ads being silly, along with Ikea's "Chuck out your Chimps today!" ads back in the 90s... :P
I adore IKEA food. Here with the family card you get 50% off their cafeteria food on fridays which is insanely low, and kids eat for literal pennies. The food is very filling too. Their hotdogs are the cheapest you can get here! And I really like their hashbrowns too. Easy McDonald's dupe. And yeah, sadly the pantry section got smaller in general. I miss the bread you could bake in the carton :( but one thing I can recommend are their oat cookies, especially the sugar free ones - they have sweetener but I like that they have more of that salty quality I personally adore in oat cookies. Also I like that they have three types of meatballs now - the classic (though you can get different types of meat in the frozen section), veggie and plant-based. Veggie are vegetable-based, not trying to be like the meat ones or anything, just a vegetarian option. But plant-based are actively trying to be like the meat ones, which is a good option too.
It took me until 22 minutes in to realize it was your mic on your shirt and not just a cute little black heart. 😂 I also loved going to IKEA as a young person. I don’t recall ever eating the food, but I loved looking at all the demo kitchens and rooms and something about how precisely organized the buildings are was satisfying to me. The pick and mix candies kind of similar to Canadian penny or five cent candies I remember from growing up! Loved the video for the blast of nostalgia, thanks Emmy. ☺️🖤
When I went to Ikea, I really liked the CHOKLAD chocolate bars and the LÖRDAGSGODIS Sour Foam candy that had Pear and Forest Fruit combo mix (they're pink and white squares) the best. The hearts that are berry flavored are good too. There was also these rolls of chocolate pieces that kind of were shaped like rolos that I forget the name of. My kiddo liked Daim candy as well, so that looked delicious.
A funny anecdote about the veggie sausage: I think Ingvar Kamprad (IKEA's founder) wrote in his will that a hot dog should always only cost 5 SEK at IKEA. Last year, IKEA lowered the price of the veggie hot dog from 10 SEK to 5 SEK and raised the price of the normal hot dog, but there was a big outcry in Sweden and now both the hot dogs cost 5 SEK, lol
Lordasgodis means Saturday Candy because it is/was a custom to let the kids indulge in candy one day a week and to hold off the rest of the week to help keep their teeth healthy. My Norwegian family used to send me a Barne Possa (child’s bag) filled with a mixture of candies for Christmas. If you have a chance to try Freja chocolate, it’s the best in the world. It inspire Roald Dahl when he wrote Willy Wonka. At IKEA you can find Maribou chocolate sometimes and it’s the best approximation I can find stateside.
I recently had their lingonberry soft drink. Right out of the fridge it is so refreshing! Today I had their herring in mustard-dill sauce on a sandwich for lunch.
I liked the German Gummy Bears my dad brought home for me in the eighties. They were so good and you only needed one as it was the size of a small child's hand. They were also individually wrapped. I loved those things.
i'm a swedish convert after a study abroad, and I recommend the punsch rolls (or dammsugare) from the freezer area. they're often the closest thing i can get to the real thing here in the states, they're different but definitely worth a try!!
I love the big blue bags! I got loads of them before the flat got renovated last year. I've got so many LARP and cosplay costumes I had to store away during this time I packed everything in these bags! Also come in handy for shopping big and heavy things like aquarium substrate, large bags of potting soil, etc.
Lördagsgodis is "The Saturday Sweets" In Sweden, candy-eating is reserved for Saturday, when parents take their children to the candy shop to pick their week's choices. The candy is usually bought by weight at the candy shop or grocery store from big bins.
Pick and mix is the best thing ever! Sometimes you just want a small bag with gummies, chocolate and salted licorice without buying individual bags. They are super popular here in Finland, every grocery store chain have them. People tend to wait for the price by weight to decrease and then everyone flocks to "the candy wall" to pick their favorites.
I miss the Ikea candy wall so much! To get the equivalent swedish candy today online cost around $30-40 😢. I want to say they got rid of the candy wall during Covid. There bagged candy isn't bad; especially the one with the rhubarb gummies!
That Daim cake, YES! The first time i had Daim candy i thought it was the most wonderful thing and i still do. Definitely top 3 candy for me, expensive here in South Africa though so a bit of a splurge and 1 is simply not enough.
My cat Oreo has a sweet tooth. Anytime we open a candy bar, cake, ice cream, and believe it or not cotton candy, she tries to eat it. She would have enjoyed herself quite a bit. We unfortunately dont have an Ikea here in western NC. I think I would like it.
Emmy, I would love to see you make more intentionally gluten free recipes! I'm entirely gluten free and I know you've had to cut back on it. Would love to see what kind of tasty treats you could cook up 😊
My rule of thumb for "veggie" burgers and hot dogs, is if it's trying to emulate meat, its (usually) not as good. but if it's only a "hot dog" or burger, in that its the shape to fit on a bun, they tend to be pretty good.
Thank you for you! I was so happy to have met you and had such a great interaction with you! I love all the products and items you help us learn about!!! I hope I helped you with everything you needed! Thank you for the double shout out! I Love all of your reviews! Especially the MRE'S! Being in the Mass. Army National Guard and seeing your reviews about them is awesome!!! Thank you! Hope to see you again!😘💖
Somewhere I saw mustards liquid referred to as “mustard piss” (or maybe I just made that one up for myself). I had to look it up to remind myself. If anyone remembers Rich Hall (sniglets, among other things) he called it “musquirt”.
I've had Daim cake and it's delicious! My local café used to serve it but they stopped, so it's been a while. I should resist the temptation to buy myself a whole cake and eat it. 😂
I love IKEA. Most the furniture in my house is from IKEA. I love walking through the store (my 'local' one is in Schaumburg, IL) and trying to say all the names of things. Of course I cannot speak Swedish but who cares. Hehehe...
The closet Ikea to me is 2.5 hours away 😭😭😭😭 it’s not fair!!! I used to date my bf long-distance in New Jersey (he moved here to Nebraska since 😊) and when I went to visit him, I always had him take me to Ikea lol!! It was always on my to-do list when I flew out for a vacation (embarrassingly, so was Dunkin’ Donuts which seemed to literally exist on every other block wherever in NJ we went! They were quite literally EVERYWHERE! But we have DD here now!! Hint, hint, Ikea, get on it). I loved and miss going to Ikea and sadly couldn’t even buy that much since I had to fly back and didn’t have tons of room in my suitcase for a new dresser or set of dishes or a dining set 😂. Hopefully one day, we’ll get an Ikea nearby. Until then, I have lovely youtubers to show me what i’m missing 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite Ikea food has to be the little chocolate oat pastries with coconut on them, they're sold frozen and they're SO good with a soft, almost chewy/cakey texture like a cake pop. I've always thought they had a distinctly strong coffee flavor, though I didn't see coffee in the ingredients which was interesting. I don't go to Ikea very often so whenever I do I make sure to get like 4 bags of them so they last at least a few weeks 😅
As a swede this made me very proud I must say! 🎉 But the pick and mix candy... I was suprised when IKEA changed from regular pic and mix made by different companies and made people buy their own brand. The people abroad miss out so many variants that are classics in Sweden. Im sure IKEAs stuff have good quality but I would never ever buy it there. Id go to a supermarket with a good selection instead :)
My favourite Ikea foods are the hotdogs and the seafood balls i.e. vegan fish roe. The seafood balls are not always available when I visit, so it it really grab when I see them. There is also their oat biscuits and ginger snap biscuits which are really nice and worth buying the big packets. But logistically speaking, it is not easy, as it is a minimum of two buses to get there, or a taxi or Uber.
in swedish stores there's canned "fiskbullar" (fish buns), remembered people or kids complaining about them being really smelly. i got very different results when searching fish balls in swedish, haven't eaten that in a very long time, but it wasn't bad.
One of my favorite Ikea food items is the Blueberry Dryk! It's a concentrated almost syrup to mix with water, and it's wonderful with seltzer, lemonade, cocktails... I've been craving it to make some iced tea with! Really nice to make your drink as sweet or not as you want. Sadly it doesn't ship tho
You are probably not old enough to remember Sniglets. The word for Ketchup blood is ketchsquirt. The actual Sniglet was for Mustard and was obviously musquirt, but we adapted it it for ketchup as well.
Their best frozen/sweet was their mini princess cakes which they discontinued. I miss those. And the snack bar used to be way better when they had flavorful frozen yogurt and hotdogs cooked on rollers which are now just pulled out a vat of hot dog water and the frozen yogurt just tastes like ice milk. 😔
4:27 the skull candy (made by Bubs), especially the chewy raspberry-liquorice one, is very popular! it's one of my favorite candy companies because all of it is vegan, and their candy bags are all Fair trade ^^
I remember JC Penney’s having a candy counter. I also remember Pix a Mix. My favorite food thing at IKEA are pickles. They taste like bread and butter pickles. I live in France and cannot get them from the grocery.
Oh Emmy, if you're ever in Sweden you've gotta get yourself a korvmoj sausage. It's not great or anything, but it's the drunk food of the kings. You stop at your local korvmoj and eat. It's fantastic!
Daim cake is very good. In swden we have 3 or 4 kinds of daim cake, and many other like lemon cake all frozen, they only need a cople hours in room temperature then they are done.
It's Almondy that makes them...but is there really different Daim?...I know we have Toblerone, Snickers, Marabou and those that have been in the sortiment for years and years. Are you thinking of the Almondy mousse cake with Daim? ...and the little cheesecake with Oreo or Daim?
Korvmoj is Swedish slang that means "hotdog stand". Lördagsgodis means "Saturday candy", as kids here are told we only get to buy and eat candy on Saturday. Belöning means "reward". Daim said as dime was spot on!
I'm one of those people who adore salmiak/ammonium chloride/salty liquorice, and I have done as long as I can remember. When I was around 6, I begged every weekend to walk into the city centre so I could buy my Saturday sweets at a shop there. This meant I could choose all the candy myself and they had a whole wall of liquorice pick-n-mix and I always just picked form that.

My favorite of your videos are your Hard Times series. I would love to see more prison recipes or anything from Clara's depression recipes! Please!
Depression recipes are depressingly relevant these days. I find myself cooking more and more like my Granny used to!
Here in Sweden, pick and mix candy is huge! Every (there may be few exceptions) grocery store has pick and mix candy, usually close to the checkouts.
I really like Djungelvrål, while yes, it tastes salty initially, but when you get through that salty cover, the licorice has a vanilla undertone to it (at least for me)
I'll have to say though, the candy you got at IKEA is not really what a typical candy bowl would look like here in Sweden, we just have so many more options and often also include bite sized chocolates or chocolate covered pieces of candy (often the candy itself is like a firmer version of a marshmallow)
Swedish candy often play with your senses through textures and combining sweet and sour and salty flavors.

Also, as a vegetarian, I appreciate Ikea's veggie patties and such, because they're actually veggie rather than fake meat.
The gummies Emmy tried are also made with vegetable gums / starches rather than gelatine, so they're vegetarian-friendly
I'm not even a veggie but they are very nice, and I do appreciate that they don't try to make them look like meat. I found their not-dogs to be reminiscent in flavor to the breaded veggie sticks we used to get in school lunches.

My cat Oreo has a sweet tooth. Anytime we open a candy bar, cake, ice cream, and believe it or not cotton candy, she tries to eat it. She would have enjoyed herself quite a bit. We unfortunately dont have an Ikea here in western NC. I think I would like it.
24:17 daim is super popular, and the cake seemed really popular around me some years ago, maybe they forgot it during quarantine
Love the veggie dogs! It's so nice to have something easy to make with "health" stuff in it!!
Emmy, I would love to see you make more intentionally gluten free recipes! I'm entirely gluten free and I know you've had to cut back on it. Would love to see what kind of tasty treats you could cook up 😊
My rule of thumb for "veggie" burgers and hot dogs, is if it's trying to emulate meat, its (usually) not as good. but if it's only a "hot dog" or burger, in that its the shape to fit on a bun, they tend to be pretty good.
The Daim cake is good but the Almondy Marabou Swiss Nut Choklad Cake(Almondy Marabou Schweizer-nöt Chokladtårta) is even better in my opinion 😋
You said "I was expecting it to be longer" lol love that ❤
I love their ketchup and mustard. It's great mixed together. I dip my fries in it.
Thank you for you! I was so happy to have met you and had such a great interaction with you! I love all the products and items you help us learn about!!! I hope I helped you with everything you needed! Thank you for the double shout out! I Love all of your reviews! Especially the MRE'S! Being in the Mass. Army National Guard and seeing your reviews about them is awesome!!! Thank you! Hope to see you again!😘💖
Somewhere I saw mustards liquid referred to as “mustard piss” (or maybe I just made that one up for myself). I had to look it up to remind myself.
If anyone remembers Rich Hall (sniglets, among other things) he called it “musquirt”.
I miss the candy wall so much. They really had some of the best gummy/sour candies
I usually get the oven baked chicken with yummy sides. So good 😋🍗
That cake looks wonderful, thank you Emmy!
I've had Daim cake and it's delicious! My local café used to serve it but they stopped, so it's been a while. I should resist the temptation to buy myself a whole cake and eat it. 😂
Cut it frozen and defrost it one slice at a time. 😁
It's funny to see you taste some Swedish staples, but we (swedes) ofc buy them @ the grocery store with their original non-ikea packaging :)
I love IKEA. Most the furniture in my house is from IKEA. I love walking through the store (my 'local' one is in Schaumburg, IL) and trying to say all the names of things. Of course I cannot speak Swedish but who cares. Hehehe...
that chocolate moose is so cute❤
The closet Ikea to me is 2.5 hours away 😭😭😭😭 it’s not fair!!!
I used to date my bf long-distance in New Jersey (he moved here to Nebraska since 😊) and when I went to visit him, I always had him take me to Ikea lol!! It was always on my to-do list when I flew out for a vacation (embarrassingly, so was Dunkin’ Donuts which seemed to literally exist on every other block wherever in NJ we went! They were quite literally EVERYWHERE! But we have DD here now!! Hint, hint, Ikea, get on it).
I loved and miss going to Ikea and sadly couldn’t even buy that much since I had to fly back and didn’t have tons of room in my suitcase for a new dresser or set of dishes or a dining set 😂.
Hopefully one day, we’ll get an Ikea nearby. Until then, I have lovely youtubers to show me what i’m missing 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite Ikea food has to be the little chocolate oat pastries with coconut on them, they're sold frozen and they're SO good with a soft, almost chewy/cakey texture like a cake pop. I've always thought they had a distinctly strong coffee flavor, though I didn't see coffee in the ingredients which was interesting. I don't go to Ikea very often so whenever I do I make sure to get like 4 bags of them so they last at least a few weeks 😅
As a swede this made me very proud I must say! 🎉
But the pick and mix candy... I was suprised when IKEA changed from regular pic and mix made by different companies and made people buy their own brand. The people abroad miss out so many variants that are classics in Sweden. Im sure IKEAs stuff have good quality but I would never ever buy it there. Id go to a supermarket with a good selection instead :)
My favourite Ikea foods are the hotdogs and the seafood balls i.e. vegan fish roe. The seafood balls are not always available when I visit, so it it really grab when I see them. There is also their oat biscuits and ginger snap biscuits which are really nice and worth buying the big packets.
But logistically speaking, it is not easy, as it is a minimum of two buses to get there, or a taxi or Uber.
in swedish stores there's canned "fiskbullar" (fish buns), remembered people or kids complaining about them being really smelly.
i got very different results when searching fish balls in swedish, haven't eaten that in a very long time, but it wasn't bad.
That moose is adorable! Plus I love Ikea's chocolate.
ETA- I just realized it's milk chocolate. That I can do without.
One of my favorite Ikea food items is the Blueberry Dryk! It's a concentrated almost syrup to mix with water, and it's wonderful with seltzer, lemonade, cocktails... I've been craving it to make some iced tea with! Really nice to make your drink as sweet or not as you want. Sadly it doesn't ship tho
is it "saft" or a drink you mix with water?
she drank rhubarb saft as it was in an older clip
You are probably not old enough to remember Sniglets. The word for Ketchup blood is ketchsquirt. The actual Sniglet was for Mustard and was obviously musquirt, but we adapted it it for ketchup as well.
Their best frozen/sweet was their mini princess cakes which they discontinued. I miss those.
And the snack bar used to be way better when they had flavorful frozen yogurt and hotdogs cooked on rollers which are now just pulled out a vat of hot dog water and the frozen yogurt just tastes like ice milk. 😔
I love salted black licorice❤
You should try Hong Yuan candies. I've tried the guava and lychee ones, and they're excellent.
We have all the same ones in Canada but they say the flavours on them. I think the pinkish one is rhubarb
Ooooh i love Swedish candies sadly don't have an IKEA near me but i do occasionally treat myself from a Scandi food website. Yum
Their frozen mashed potatoes and balls are sooooo good.
Salty licorice and licorice with salmiak are two different things. One is sea salt, the other is sal ammoniac.
You just reminded me I have chocolate chip cookies in the pantry, which just made my night! 😂
You need a cup of coffe to the Daim kake! And ALL chokolade!
The Daim-cake is very popular in Sweden!
I miss the apple cake they used to make and sell in the cafeteria. It was so pretty, and it was so tasty.
I miss going to ikea its about 2hrs away and i am now craving all of these goodies
I always get a slice of the Daim cake at the restaurant when I go!
Love the black licorice 😋
It is so nice to start watching a video and be called a beautiful lovely. She is such an awesome person.
Scrumptious!!!
Almondy cakes are awesome, but a bit expensive, I made a Daim cake vanilla icecream milkshake, it was amazing.
Oh that Daim cake has such a hold on me 😂love that thing
Aww I love that moose 🫎
4:27 the skull candy (made by Bubs), especially the chewy raspberry-liquorice one, is very popular! it's one of my favorite candy companies because all of it is vegan, and their candy bags are all Fair trade ^^
I would have never thought that our ketchup and mustard tastes different than the American versions! It's so interesting to hear that they are
wouldn't ikea ketchup taste different to other common swedish ketchup though.
I don’t ever remember bulk candy at our IKEAs in Ontario. That would have been cool!
Biting thru wires is wild Emmy 😂😂😂
I used to love pick and mix at the supermarket but none of them have it since covid.
I remember JC Penney’s having a candy counter. I also remember Pix a Mix. My favorite food thing at IKEA are pickles. They taste like bread and butter pickles. I live in France and cannot get them from the grocery.
maybe not to hard to make something similar one self
Oh Emmy, if you're ever in Sweden you've gotta get yourself a korvmoj sausage. It's not great or anything, but it's the drunk food of the kings. You stop at your local korvmoj and eat. It's fantastic!
she has a diy tunnbrödsrulle video
Now that's a bowl of happy!!
Daim cake is very good. In swden we have 3 or 4 kinds of daim cake, and many other like lemon cake all frozen, they only need a cople hours in room temperature then they are done.
It's Almondy that makes them...but is there really different Daim?...I know we have Toblerone, Snickers, Marabou and those that have been in the sortiment for years and years. Are you thinking of the Almondy mousse cake with Daim? ...and the little cheesecake with Oreo or Daim?
Definitely smells like anise… so glad she got the pronunciation right.
Imagine the chocolate moose placed in the front yard of a holiday gingerbread house!
I really miss the candy wall. The pre-packaged bags they offer now don't have my favorites that were in the bins (the "rambos" in various flavors).
I’m soO waiting for you to cook the roadkill I’m vey curious 🧐 ❤
Coming soon!
Listening to the infinit ikea SCP literally right when i saw this... Letsss gooo
