In Sweden licorice candy is not hip at all, just a staple - sweet and salty and strong and the salmiak variety, I like all of them but especially sweet soft licorice fudge or toffee and the salty black fish I think go by the name "Swedish fish" abroad.

That's like a fourth variety of licorice taste apart from licorice, anise and salmiak and probably the one I like the most!

Seen here:
". . . While I agree with Mr. Kean that salt licorice is a shock to the uninitiated palate, it has a draw that is difficult for some to ignore. I had never heard of salmiak (one of the Scandinavian names for the product) until I met my Swedish friend Rebecka in junior high. She gave me some little gumdrop-shaped candies, and only knowing they would be salty, I took the entire endeavor as a challenge. . . ."
