I was in the movie theater with my boyfriend eating Swedish Fish before the movie started, and he noticed that on the back of the bag, it said “Made in Canada”. So why are they not Canadian Fish?
In 1958, Malaco, a Swedish confectionery manufacturer, decided to expand its business by exporting a few of their products to North America. Ribbons and Licorice Laces candy were the first products to be exported to North America.
The Malaco exporting business grew and in late 1960’s and early 1970’s Swedish Fish and Swedish Berries were developed specifically for the North American market. As you have probably already guessed, it was named Swedish Fish because it was developed in Sweden. Today Swedish Fish are made in both Sweden and Canada and owned by the Cadbury Adams Company.
yeah..
what the first answer is..
Well, Sweden is a prominent fishing community, and they taste good, and
Sweden also makes a lot of candy, and they taste GOOD!
