kumimalliste

Kumimalliste, also known as Kumimalliste 100, is a Finnish brand of soft drinks that gained popularity in the 1990s. The name "kumimalliste" translates to "candy seller" in Finnish, reflecting the brand's association with candy and sweets. The drink is a carbonated soft drink with a sweet, fruity flavor, often described as a mix of lemon and lime. It is typically served chilled and is popular among Finns, especially during the summer months.

Kumimalliste was first introduced in 1991 by the Finnish beverage company, Fazer. The drink quickly became a favorite among Finns, and its popularity has since grown internationally. Kumimalliste is often enjoyed on its own or used as a mixer in cocktails. It is also a popular ingredient in many Finnish summer recipes, such as ice cream and sorbets.

The drink's popularity can be attributed to its refreshing taste and the fact that it is a Finnish product. Kumimalliste is often seen as a symbol of Finnish summer and is a staple in many Finnish households. Despite its popularity, Kumimalliste is not widely available outside of Finland and the Nordic countries. However, it has gained a cult following among expats and travelers who visit Finland.

In recent years, there have been efforts to revive the brand and make it more widely available internationally. Fazer has released limited edition flavors and collaborated with other brands to create unique products. Despite these efforts, Kumimalliste remains a niche product, beloved by Finns and those who appreciate its unique taste.
