Läkerol Cupa
A lot more exotic than previous Läkerol varieties, that’s for sure. The Cupa variety has real fruit juice, though I have no idea how much as it doesn’t seem to say anywhere. Cupa is meant to be a cherry and coconut flavour, though whether Läkerol can pull it off or not remains to be seen.
When I think of cherry and coconut, I think of Cherry Ripe. Moist cherries and coconut, thickly packed into chocolate. Here we have the flavours bunched into tiny little discs and then mixed with liquorice. It’s about as odd tasting as you imagine it being.
It starts off fruity, I wouldn’t call it cherry or coconut but it’s sweet and fruity at any rate, this then quickly changes into the more savoury liquorice flavour, which is strange because I’ve been told these aren’t liquorice based…
It’s odd, no other word can really describe these. Like the other flavours they’re not bad, they’re just kinda…ok, and once again I feel like I’ve run out of things to talk about here. Try them if they interest you, though I don’t recommend them too highly.

These don’t sound at all tempting.

cupa have now been re-issued by lakerol as “sun safari licorice”

They where one of the better ones. In the current line the kumquat one is nice to.
Anyway, how can you really write much/leave a decent judgement about Läkerol if you don’t like licorice?
Cupa was nice but they are dead now

.. oh and btw, I doubt Sun Safari is the same .. I where more thinking about if they where as the persimon/celebration flavor since they look similar but I doubt that to.
Maybe I need to go get some.

By themselves they’re nothing special, but try mixing and eating one of them with a salmiak (if that’s your thing) – the combination is delicious.
