Swedish Fish is a fish-shaped, chewy candy originally developed by Swedish candy producer Malaco in the late 1950s for the U.S. market. The wrapper calls them “a fat free food”, and they are gluten-free. The sweet fish-shaped treats are marketed in different colors and flavors.

The store had Swedish Fish jelly beans, which seems odd, but mostly I’m disappointed that they didn’t go the Spring=eggs route and just call them Swedish Roe.

@SwedishFish why you call one of your product Swedish Fish Jellybeans instead of Swedish Roe?
