tyggirlander

A tyggirlander is a type of confectionery product. It is typically a long, chewy candy that is often fruit-flavored. The name "tyggirlander" is a portmanteau, combining the Swedish word "tugg" meaning "chew" and "girlander" meaning "garland." This name suggests the candy's chewy texture and its common presentation in a long, flexible strand, resembling a decorative garland.

Tyggirlanders are usually made from sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and flavorings. They can come in a variety of colors and flavors, with popular options including strawberry, lemon, and orange. The texture is designed to be soft and pliable, allowing for chewing and stretching. Some tyggirlanders may also have a sour coating, adding a tart contrast to the sweetness.

These candies are often sold in multi-packs and are popular with children and adults alike. They can be found in many supermarkets and convenience stores. The manufacturing process involves mixing the ingredients, cooking them to a specific consistency, and then extruding or shaping the candy into its characteristic long form. Variations exist, such as those with different widths or added textures.
