Kvikk Lunsj I will have caused outrage among my Norwegian readers for not starting with Freia's Kvikk Lunsj, the most iconic chocolate in Norway.

This is mainly the case because of growing health awareness among consumers. In addition, there has been an increase in organic product availability in Scandinavia in recent years, creating a much more interesting product offer for consumers.
