Ahlgren's Bilar (translation: Ahlgren's Cars) Chewy Candy

The product still most closely associated with the brand Ahlgren is Ahlgrens bilar ("Ahlgren's Cars"), sold since 1953 and marketed as "the world's most sold car" (which is possibly technically correct, by number of cars).

The small, mildly mint-tasting marshmallow cars are so popular within Sweden that stores that specifically cater Swedish tourists and residents in other countries have started selling them as well. In recent years the brand has been extended to other car and road related products, liquorice car tyres and sour road signs, the latter including the elk warning signs beloved by German tourists.

Airheads Chewy Candy

Airheads are a popular candy manufactured by Perfetti Van Melle in Erlanger, Kentucky. They are a taffy-like candy that come individually wrapped in strips and weigh about 15.6 grams.

Airheads come in a variety of flavors including cherry, watermelon, white mystery, green apple, strawberry, blue raspberry, and orange and sour versions as well.

There are also other special edition flavors, including a SpongeBob flavor and a Spiderman flavor. Perfetti Van Melle sometimes produces limited edition flavors as part of promotions in partnership with other companies, such as Disney/Pixar's new movie, Cars. Airheads also come in fruit rolls, known as Airheads Xtremes.

Some people believe that the flavor White Mystery comes in different flavors such as cherry, watermelon, etc. The flavor of the White Mystery Airhead changes from time to time.

This Airhead brand also comes in rainbow belts, from boxes of candy strips quite different from the orginial. Flavors include strawberry.

Much like separating the two pieces of an Oreo cookie, a popular yet unorthodox way to eat an airhead is to hold one end of the package with ones fingers and flap the rest of the candy back and forth. This will eventually force all of the candy into one end of the package, making it easier to eat in one bite.

When a person first bites an airhead it may seem hard. But soon, it will become as soft as bubble gum.

Name:

Anis de Flavigny Chewy Candy

This candy, consisting of a grain of aniseed coated in sugar, is perhaps the oldest in France. Mentioned in a document as early as 872.

In the 17th century, when the candy was manufactured by Ursuline sisters, six months were needed to add and dry the successive coats of sugar.

Today, the factory is still situated at the heart of the ancient abbey, but the process is completed in only 15 days.

ANZAC Cookies & Cakes

ANZAC Biscuits are a snack food most commonly made from the primary ingredients of rolled oats, coconut, and golden syrup.

Many myths surround the origin of the ANZAC Biscuits. It has been reported that these biscuits were made by Australian and New Zealand women for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers during World War I and were reputedly first called "Soldiers' Biscuits" then renamed "ANZAC Biscuits" after the Gallipoli landing.

The recipe was reportedly created to ensure the biscuits would keep well during naval transportation to loved ones who were fighting overseas. However, those biscuits were shaped more like rock cakes and were made from entirely different ingredients.

Research carried out by Professor Helen Leach, a culinary anthropologist at Otago University in New Zealand, revealed that the first time the name "ANZAC" appeared in the name of the biscuit in a recipe book was in 1921. That occurred in the renaming of the "oatmeal biscuit" recipe to "ANZAC crispies", in the ninth edition of the St Andrew's Cookery Book. Subsequent editions renamed this to be "ANZAC Biscuits".

Exactly the same recipe was included in contemporary recipe books as "rolled oats biscuits", (and none of these recipes included coconut - not until 1927). The oatmeal or rolled oats biscuits were developed in the Scottish-influenced city of Dunedin as a variation of Scottish oat cakes.

Today, the ANZAC Biscuits are manufactured commercially for retail sale because of their military connection with the ANZACs and ANZAC Day. These biscuits are often used as a fundraising item for the RSA and the RSL veterans organisations. ANZAC Biscuits made using the traditional recipe are also carried by bush-bashers (bushwalkers) as a food of last resort; due to their tough constitution and good keeping properties enabling these biscuits to survive many days of rough travel.

The term ANZAC is protected under Australian law and therefore the word should not be used without permission from the Returned Services League (RSL), and its misuse can be legally enforced, particularly for commercial purposes. There is a general exemption granted for ANZAC Biscuits, as long as these biscuits remain basically true to the original recipe and are both referred to and sold as ANZAC Biscuits and never as cookies.

ANZAC Biscuits can still to this day be found in Australian CR1M military ration packs.
