The return of djunglevrål, the king of all salted liquorice.

Yes! Indeed! Yo, DJ Unglevrål in the house! He's got some sick taste.

@DrWaffles: It's funny because the car doesn't explode at the bottom!

I'm now in the market for a bad ass skull glass. Thanks, Brad.

Crazy Europeans with their puttin' salt on perfectly decent candy *grumble, grumble*...

Fire chocolate actually sounds super-rad, Ryan.

Leverpostei?? Hahah!

Megalolz

it's extremely surreal to see them with stuff I've seen in stores every day for my entire life, but they've never heard of

@metalsnakezero said:

WTF, does Jeff have a Chie Figma figure!?

I think he said someone sent that to him.

@DeathbyYeti said:

I think if someone saw an email from Giantbomb about free food, they should know whats what

If they didn't know before, they will after this.

@Jeff: You guys should hang the new poster up in the office since you didn't hang up the propaganda ones.

You can't fool Bradley.

FREE SWEDISH FISH IN A CAN IN THE 3RD FLOOR KITCHEN!

Leverpostei is great, but the viewer could have sent a better brand. The one he send is for mostly kids. You get much better kinds that baked in the oven ect.

A nice oven baked Leverpostei with cucumber on bread straight form the oven is heaven.

I was totally thinking they looked like Persona characters too. CAN BRAD READ MY MIND?

super cool to see norwegian candy on GB:D also, a lot of that candy is not made in Norway and also the yellow box whit the kid on is NOT candy, it's something you have on bread. the with the brunost.

@simkas: It has something do to do with Alpha Protocol marketing merch and Vinny modelling in them.

"You can't fool me!" *eats candy*

Classic.

Man, watching the Giant Bomb dudes interact with Kvikk Lunsj and Leverpostei is so surreal. Now we just need someone to send them some Smash and some Sørlandschips.

Also: Brad's pronunciation of Japp is fucking flawless.

Awesome to finally see something from Norway!

Don't American chocolate makers put some weird shit into chocolate you also find in baby sick? Something to do with out of date milk.

Anyway, it's not table salt, it's ammonia-chloride, it's used it a bunch of foods.

Ryan is kind of a food pansy if he doesn't know exactly what he's getting into.

Pretty sure that's Hershey's, yup.

@colmarr: well, i'm from Norway and i hate both salty stuff and licorice. actually i don't like most of the stuff they got:P except the chocolate.

Oh god, are they going to make the next Intern eat the can of tuna again?

OH NO! A Kvikk Lunch. The bane of all ski trips.

I bet that liver paste spread thing is alright. Get Kessler to eat it.

@AleksO: spis eller stubburets ovnsbakte leverpostei er tingen:)

Finally DJ Unglevrål's hot new remix has been released.

I love the trippy animal mascots on the bags. LSD Dogg!

Thank you Daniel, Great Mailbag!

@jonnyboy: I agree. That's a pretty rad watch. I noticed it for the first time in some video last week. I've been sporting a Nixon 'Outsider' for a few years now, but sadly it's on its last leg. So...I gotta' ask, "Vinny, who are you wearing?" Also, I want to know exactly where you got it. So, I can bust in and be able to shout, "Bitch, now you KNOW I'm here for a 'Caravella'!"

@Brad Red dye is made from crushed insects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine

Patrick's eagerness to try weird new stuff is great. Looks like Drew has a new snack buddy.

Once the GameSpot guys are done with it, they should send the rest to Alex and have him review it for the Big Live Live Show.

Best mailbag vid in a while, bravo!

Did someone send them a can with a member of the Aryan race in it?

@DrWaffles said:

Oh man, the Japp guy just cannot get a break:

I remember these! Awesome!

I believe it's more a question of quantity rather than substance. Also, I have no idea what this candy tastes like. I was just being eccentric.

Supah Saltah!

Salmiak is the best, love häxvrål it's my favorite candy.

And you should put that kid on some white bread, it's really good!

I cannot believe how many "this times" I convinced myself it would taste good.

It feels weird seeing them figuring out that norwegian stuff. Brad was right on with Japp. Not all that licorice and salty candy is good imo.

Not since TGS 08 has Turkish Peber caused such a ruckus.

Nor me. I really want some though. Liquorice is pretty damn good.

Thanks Daniel! That was fun to watch. I really want to try that candy now, especially the weird salty ones.

He's sexy, but he's not Shoemaker sexy.

@Jeff: We all eagerly await a follow up as this develops.
