Xylitol

 Maybe 5 years ago, this advertisement is very famous in Korea. Many people said 'Hyvaa Hyvaa'. I was wondering that Almost all Finnish are chewing xylitol gums everyday. So when I go to Finland, I asked about that.

 My Finnish friend said to me that ' A long time ago, Finnish enjoy chewing xylitol gums because a birch tree contains good and delicious tree sap. But these days, Xylitol is contains many chemical materials. So they don't like chewing xylitol gums everyday.'

 But, Every gums brand name is xylitol in Finland. So they only have xylitol gums. And they have special taste xylitol gums like salmiakki. Salmiakki has astringent taste. So I don't like it but many Finnish like it.

 And in my opinion, Xylitol in Korea is better than Finland. I bought Xylitol gum in Finland and taste it but it is easy to tough that hard to chew.

 Also they don't pronounce Xylitol[záilətɔ́:l,-tɑ̀l] . They pronounce it "sui-litol" in Finnish.
