That is disgusting stuff. It rots your teeth! It was very popular here in
the 80's, but banned in the 90's (can't remember exactly when) - it's
basically illegal now, but of course many people bring it from Sweden so
you can pretty much buy it from anywhere. Especially popular amongst
athletists for some strange reason.
