K and Jason were having a discussion about different foods and the following is the result which K e-mailed me...
Q. Why are they called swedish fish??
A. These candies are made by a swedish company called Malacoleaf. The company was originally known as Malaco and was founded in 1905 in Copenhagen, Sweden. They started making licorice in the 1920's, and swedish fish in the 1950's. At that time the fish were imported from Sweden. Recently (1990's) the production of Swedish fish was begun in Canada, where it remains to this day. Interestingly, Malacoleaf also makes Sour patch kids.
Thought you may appreciate the history.
