- (Finebros) So today we have a real treat for you.

- Okay. (dish clatters)

- (gasps) Oh, that looks so good!

- This is chocolate.

- Looks like chocolate, it smells like chocolate,

but I bet it's something else.

- They actually look like medicine.

- It feels like a pill.

- Smells like... coffee powder?

- Things that smell terrible that I do not want in my mouth.

- It smells like licorice.

I've had licorice before but I don't like it,

so now I'm scared about this.

My godmother, she's from Finland, and she's obsessed with it

and when I was five she made me try it.

It was disgusting.

- (Finebros) And now you get to taste it.

Grab one. - All right.

I'm scared.

- I'm nervous about this so very much.

(revolted) Ah!

Salty.

- Oh god.

Ohhhh!

It tastes spicy!

(silence)

(gags)

(retches)

(silence)

(chews)

- Tastes like rubber.

- Um...?

(mouth full) Oh yes, spit it. No.

- (snickers) What the heck?

It's, like, stinging my mouth.

- What? It's-- ugh.

Ew, that's so gross.

(gags) Oh my god. I bit into it.

(whimpering)

- Oh wait, oh.

(whimpering)

- It tastes like I licked a table cloth.

Yes, I've licked a table cloth before. I was really little.

- It reminds me of one of the jelly beans

in the Bean Boozled.

- You get this sensation in your mouth--

a thousand bees in your mouth, stinging your mouth.

- Imagine an insanely salty piece of licorice.

- I can't believe it.

I know something's part of black licorice in this.

It tastes like it.

- It smells like chocolate!

It is so disgusting; this is like a prank!

Where what you do is, "Hey, do you want some chocolate?"

It like, "Sure."

Eat it, bolt, and it's like you pass out

because it's so terrible!

- I don't know where this is from,

but why did you give this to me?

- (Finebros) You just tried salmiakki. - It's awful.

Why did you make me try it?

- Salmiakki sounds like it would taste terrible.

If I had known the name I might not have eaten this.

- It's called salmiakki, right, and then I say "salt"--

salt-miakki.

- I don't even know what that is,

(laughing) so tell me what it is.

- (Finebros) Salmiakki is a salty licorice candy

that's popular in Finland.

- Boom!

- How is this a licorice candy?

It stings your mouth.

- I don't like licorice either way.

It's even worse than any type of licorice there is.

- How does anyone like this?

- (aghast) People like this? They like this?

- (Finebros) Do you recommend that people try salmiakki?

- No.

- I do not recommend people try salmiakki.

- No, not at all.

- No! I don't think so.

It feels like it's something expired.

- Probably yeah.

It's their choice if they want to.

- (singsong) No, no, no. Noooooo!

- Never!

It's black licorice times a thousand, mixed with salt.

Would you want to try that?

- Mm-mm. I really don't.

Good for pranking friends,

even though I would not prank a friend.

(innocently) Can I give one to my sister?

- Thanks for watching this episode of Kids vs. Food

on the React channel.

- Don't be salty! Subscribe.

- What food should we try next?

Leave it in the comments.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye!

I'm gonna go home and actually eat some real candy.
