Is the Simpsons story really true? I have never heard of this and as a Finn should be familiar with intoxicating drinks. 84.231.99.112 02:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, it isn't true - my parents claim to have made it by themselves in the 80's. Zalle 18:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Not true. Salmari has existed in form or another for decades in Finland. Before turkinpippuri it was made from apteekin salmiakki. (Pharmacy style ammonium chloride candy. A modern variation of similar kind of stuff can be found at: http://www.haganol.fi/ ) -- 212.213.204.99 14:57, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
It was made by ordinary people even in the 75 in Denmark. It has NOTHING to do with 'the simpsons'. Alchoholic "cough medicine" has been used for many many years. Can someone please rewrite the whole article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.48.185.54 ( talk) 11:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Why Salmiakki Koskenkorva and not Salmiakkikoskenkorva (the correct finnish spelling)?
The -OH group on ethanol is not basic at all--if anything, it's an extremely weak acid. The reason this stuff tastes salty is that NH4Cl tastes salty.
Hi, in The Netherlands we have a liqueur called 'Dropshot'. It seems to me that the liqueur in this topic, is the same as the lqueur in The Netherlands. But I am not sure. Perhaps that anybody knows if these two drinks are (almost) the same, or totally aren't? The Dutch liqueur has 20% alcohol, and can be mixed with cola, 7-up, energy-drink, and of course can be drank on the rocks. Rob -- 84.104.123.100 17:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
According to my recollection the product was shelved after several incidents of teenagers drinking hard liquor and passing out in the cold weather resulting in severe cases of hypothermia - not because of cardiac arrests or other heart problems. Can't find any references though... 194.241.175.171 10:03, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Don't know whether the heart problem case was a hoax, but it's true that when consuming several (up to/over 10) shots of 'salmari' in short time, one puts considerable strain to one's system, not only because of alcohol and sugar (Other "CandyBrandy" products make similar surprises occasionally), but also glychyrrizine(?), the active substance of licorice has the effect of increasing blood pressure!
Forgot to sign my previous comment; trying to edit it afterwards caused edit conflict... Found right spelling to the chemical above, it's in Wikipedia; [1] 85.76.200.86 ( talk) 21:29, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
