      Ever notice how there are no cookie popup on sites like Wikipedia? Funny how you don’t need it unless you’re being a total dick with the users data.

        Wikipedia is a not for profit with 250 million in the bank, so its got other fund raising going than ads. I would say it giant donation prompt that covers the top 1/3rd of a page is its own dark pattern, they just do it internally.

        For a contrasting for profit wiki, go check out Fandom, which is owned by Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales. It’s full of cookies, enshittification and dark patterns.

        On my laptop I have the auto cookie denial extension on Firefox. Also use PiHole for network wide blocking

    Those pink flowery shaped ones, with liquorice in the center? At least that is Finnish, not Swedish.

    It was originally made by a company that opened in 1899 as Hellas, and then from 1989 to 2012 was called Leaf, until it was bought by Cloetta.

    The reason I remember this so vividly is because the fuckers changed the recipe after the merger, and the new one just isn’t close to being as good.

    Fucking Swedes always hogging Finnish things. Like “Swedish torches”? Finnish.

    How good are they compared to Haribo? The candy in the picture looks pretty normal to me.

      It doesn’t come in a premade bag like Haribo. You buy it by weight at the grocery store and mix yourself.

          I guess? I don’t know what that is. Every grocery store has it here. More like shelves with buckets than jars.

      Haribo is great for people who love chewing rubber tires.
