Swedish Fish Are Only Kinda Swedish

     Blogger's note: that picture looked significantly clearer on my phone when I took it.  Come on Andrew, be better.

     Swedish Fish are a wildly underrated candy, mostly due to the fact no one really knows exactly what the fuck they are.  Well thanks to some research I know everything I need to know to write a blog about them.  Most importantly, they're considering a wine gum candy like the ones from England I reviewed previously.  Also, I'm calling bullshit since they're both from the same company.  So they just put the same recipe in a different candy mold?  Seems pretty lazy if you ask me.
     Another reason to call bullshit: Swedish Fish, although originally made in Sweden, were originally based on a Norwegian recipe.  That's me making an American Fish out of all Canadian ingredients.  Smh.
     Past all that, onto the candy.  Supposedly the red fish are flavored after something called a lingonberry, which is native to Arctic climates (thanks again Wikipedia).  I've never tried one but in fish form it's borderline addictive.  Frankly I don't think Swedish Fish are anything spectacular but once I eat one I immediately eat about a dozen more, thus renewing the addictiveness until the box is gone.  7/10.
