Salty liquorice, salmiak or salmiakki is a variety of liquorice that contains a relatively large amount of ammonium chloride ("salmiac").
Ammonium chloride has a spicy taste that vaguely resembles that of sodium chloride (table salt). However, salty liquorice does not necessarily contain any sodium.

The most disgusting "candy" I've tasted. Apparently, they program Swedes at a young age to actually like it.

You'll miss your long paid vacation and other generous job benefits. Most jobs in the U.S. give 2 weeks or less.

My favorite - Very Very salty

You should bring at least one whole box of Djungelvrål.

I've got five weeks + two days paid vacation. I think three weeks is an absolute minimum.

Salty licorice is actually quite good.

Interesting about vacation time... I earn up to 4 or 5 weeks vacation time in the year but must take it a few days at a time....I have never had more than 5 days off in a row in my 20 year career.

...and of course these 40 days don't include weekends and national or bank holidays.
I'm not allowed however to take more than 30 days at a stretch.
Guess which country I'm from ?
