Know any good candy store sites, especially for International candies?

I'm looking for some Swedish Racecars to buy, you know the one's they sell at Ikea, since I don't have one here I was wondering if anyone knew a good site to buy them from.

I've never heard of them, in the midwest we have Swedish Fish.

They're the bomb dude. Seriously complete awesomeness. They're marshmellowy but not exactly. They just have a little bit of that thrown in.

That's the closest (and most disturbing, coincidentally) I could find from Ikea.

Awesome. I'll have to look for those at Ikea sometime, although they look more like blobs (in assorted colors) rather than actual rats.

a racecar is a candy?

I know exactly what you're talking about.. those cars ROCK!

They sell them at northerner.com in the Scandinavian Candy section.

The bags are like $1.60 and shipping is about $10.

Enjoy!

those crazy swedes. why would you pick cars, road signs, and tires for shapes of candy?

This site sells swedish candy and ships from the US, no clue on reliability of the site though. http://swedensbest.com/index.html

I may not be that big of a candy eater, but what's the big fuss over the swedish fish? Had no real taste to me

Psiu nailed it and I called IKEA earlier before I saw his mention and they managed to nail it. I'm buying 10 bags and I just wish the shipping was cheaper. Still it's $0.99 a bag with $11.something shipping so I'm not completely complaining. I just should've narrowed the shipping down to past just under $2 for the total. Any advice on how to get IKEA here so I can buy directly from the source? They were telling me how Utah is getting one because a lot of people buy online from there and I KNOW we could generate a lot more business, quad state area than them. If we get an IKEA in the KCMO area we would get business from St.Louis, Lincoln, Des Moines as well as the surrounding area. I see this as a VERY bankable moneymaker.
edit: Checking prices and quantities IKEA must have some pricing deal with the manufacturer because costwise I'm paying a little under or around $2 a bag with shipping. I'm starting to wish I bought 20-100 bags so maybe I could start to hit $1 on the quantities. Does anyone have a cost table for UPS?

There more of a nostalgic candy. They were penny candy back in the day and older people like them cause they remind them of their childhood. I like them in super small amounts.

Gray speaking of Penny Candy Jujubee's are AWFUL. I'm not saying the taste of the candy itself but how you can't even chew them and they like INSTANTLY stick to your teeth when you bite on them.

Anyone have Pocky very often? When I was out in San Fran, I bought that stuff all the time!

 

[Sarang01]

You can find it in any typical Asian store and yes I've had it. Not bad.

 

[banpeikun]
