London drops

London drops (Lontoo rakeet in Finnish) are a type of liquorice candy sold in Finland and Sweden first by Chymos, later by Fazer.

London drops are oblong-shaped sweets about 2 cm long and 5 mm thick.

They consist of a soft liquorice-flavoured core inside a hard, sugary aniseed-flavoured coating.

In the 1980s, British actor Bob Grant appeared on Finnish television in advertisement for London drops, saying the famous Finnish advertisement slogan "Niin Lontoon raetta, niin Lontoon raetta".
