ruaok
(made in canada, eh!)
-
do those actually exist in .se?
-
navap wonders the same thing about Sweedish Berries
-
lauri
nope, we don't have them in sweden :)
-
ruaok
figured as much. :)
-
lauri
well, we have similar candy of course, but not exactly those
-
ruaok
-
lauri
now haribo we have
-
navap
Ya they look like them
-
ruaok
navap: those are german then.
-
navap
Hm, well they're sold as Sweedish Berries over here :)
-
ruaok gets started doing the finances 11 minutes after the previous month is over
-
lauri
-
most sold car in the world :)
-
ruaok
navap: remind me ,where is here?
-
lauri
but they're more like peeps
-
navap
Canada
-
ruaok
ah. marketing is weird
-
navap
Maybe someone though "German Berries" wouldn't go over too well over here? I dunno
-
lauri
fascinating... malaco (who make the fish) are a swedish company
-
they just made up that product for the us market though

I was trying to show ruaok the ultimate chocolate, but Fazer site is failing me. :|
-
-
lauri
nom nom, moomin toothpaste
-
srotta
lauri: Those salmiak Serdish fish are at least sold in the ferries between Finland and Sweden.
-
Serdish? :P
-
lauri
oh yeah, I find we do have 'pastellfisk' but only in the pick'n'mix boxes
-
they're not famous here or anything (and I don't think my grocery store even has them)
-
srotta
Yeah, the local candy store probably has them here as well.
-
Haven't seen fruit flawored, though.
-
lauri
other than cars, i guess läkerol is uber-swedish
-
whenever i am going to see anyone i get told to fill my bag up with those
-
ruaok
lauri: tell your us friends they can buy them at World Market.
-
lauri
it's usually the germans who want 'em
-
i have one friend who goes to switzerland just to buy the darn things :)
-
ruaok
what? I've seen them in german stores too.
-
lauri
so have i, but apparently not where he lives
-
i like the blue fruits one
-
ruaok
lets see... tomorrow I am exporting: organic black beans, cliff bars, vitamin c, flavored coffee and jeans.
-
lauri
heh, a side business you could turn that into
-
'care packages, courtesy ruaok'
-
ruaok
and a 32oz bottle of Tapatio hot sauce.
-
lauri
that reminds me, i need a kiwi to buy me marmite
-
ruaok
I'm always schlepping shit from point a to point b.
-
ruaok keeps away from that
-
I can probably find marmite in london.
-
should I ship some over?
-
lauri
it's not the right kind :(
-
ruaok
ah.
-
ruaok is not versed in the nuances of {marm|vegg)ite
-
lauri
vegemite is australian, and yucky
-
alastairp
lauri: hahah
-
ruaok
lol
-
alastairp
marmite > vegimite
-
lauri
marmite in the UK is more like vegemite, but still edible
-
alastairp
by far
-
ruaok
marmite is a brand, right?
-
alastairp
lauri: how much do you want?
-
ruaok: yeah
-
lauri
lol, i just remembered the NZ expats store in London can ship me some
-
ruaok
do you consider australia to be NZ west?
-
lauri
and milo, and bluebird chips :)
-
outsidecontext has quit
-
alastairp
ruaok: of course
-
lauri: are you ex-nz?
-
lauri
i am :)
-
ruaok
lol. my favorite postcard when I visited.
-
alastairp
where from?
-
lauri
Whangarei
-
alastairp
sweet
-
lauri
you?
-
alastairp
currently in Wlg, but originally Morrinsville (30 mins out of Hamilton)
-
lauri
ruaok: when you're in london, you can visit the kiwi store, and buy some real marmite to try
-
it's under the opera house, near picadilly circus
-
oh, i know morrinsville :)
-
ruaok
oh, I'll be there.
-
alastairp
lauri: :)
-
awesome
-
ruaok
but I doubt that I need some for myself.
-
alastairp: will you sort lauri on marmite so I don't have to? :)
-
lauri
lol, it's ok, they take credit cards and ship all over europe
-
don't know why i didn't think of it before
-
alastairp
ruaok: no, because then you could never learn to love it for yourself
-
:)
-
lauri
-
it's way better than the british stuff
-
ruaok
alastairp: heh. I dont think its possible to learn to love marmite after say... 10 years of age.
-
lauri
omg, they have l&p
-
alastairp
lauri: !
-
ruaok: yeah, probably
-
although, tbh, I haven't actually had any in years
-
ruaok
lol
-
lauri
the problem foreigners always make, is putting too much on
-
my husband tried it the first time, and slathered it on like peanut butter
-
ruaok
1 ng is enough!!
-
alastairp
ah, can't stand that
-
lauri
and then took a bite before i could stop him
-
ruaok
lol
-
alastairp
lauri: and hated it?
-
RifRaf
is it bad to add your own custom tags to files? like i want an artist country tag but can't see anything else it fits into really
-
lauri
threatened to trhow it out of the house :)
-
alastairp
bread + small bit of marmite + slice of cheese
-
that's all I had all through primary/intermediate/high school :)
-
lauri
hot toaste + melty buttery + itty bit of marmite
-
alastairp
mmmmm
-
that too
-
lauri
wow, i can't spell, i should go to work or something
-
rifraf: you can do anything you like to your own files
-
RifRaf: but there's some systems about adding custom tags you might want to look into, and your media player may not know what to do with them
-
alastairp
lauri: they only have 390ml bottles of l&p
-
lauri
yeah, but i thought exporting that stuff at all was treason
-
alastairp
quite possibly
-
lauri
i'm so buying myself some for christmas
-
alastairp
in fact, you left
-
now I know where you live
-
i've contacted the sekrit police, they're coming to bring you home
-
lauri
i will pelt them with ahlgrens bilar until they give up and go away
-
RifRaf
lauri, yeah trying to find that right names, like for subgenre am using Content Group which i working out is called grouping in picard
-
lauri
also, it's winter here, they'll be frozen as soon as they get off the plane
-
RifRaf: there is a map of picard's tags vs multiple tag types, somewhere in teh wiki
-
alastairp
lauri: yeah, stubbies + singlet probably wouldn't work too wekk
-
srotta
lauri: What is marmite?
-
alastairp
srotta: yeast sandwitch spread
-

-
srotta
Mmm.
-
:P
-
ruaok
lol
-
lauri
-
srotta
I've never fancied peanut butter, maybe I should try that one.
-
alastairp
it's max <3
-
lauri
depending where you're from, and which urban legend you believe
-
it's fermented meat and/or the leftover yeast from beermaking
-
alastairp
huh, didn't know that
-
lauri
however it's really made, it's a yeast extract, it's black, and thick like tar, smells like.... something really yucky, and tastes awesome
-
srotta
:D
-
RifRaf
lauri thanks for link, lookin now
-
srotta
Well, can't really laugh, we eat some pretty weird stuff as well.
-
lauri
indeed, who the hell thought up salmiakki
-
and how many people did they kill before perfecting it?
-
srotta
I don't know, but it's a great thing they did.
-
lauri
alastairp: salmiakki is some unholy mix of licorice and ammonium chloride
-
alastairp
yum
-
srotta
In school we used to make ammoniumchloride.
-
alastairp
so, it smells like ammonia?
-
srotta
A class mate of mine stole it from the chemistry storage.
-
lauri
it doesn't really
-
srotta
And happily ate it with a spoon.
-
lauri
it's actually quite edible, tastes salty
-
dear god srotta, that's insane
