The favorite trick Dag-Otto likes to pull on new players joining the team is probably the favorite trick of all swedes traveling abroad. And that is offering people a special type of candy that is rarely seen outside Sweden. This candy is of course salty licorice. Most people have experience sweet licorice and may or may not like it. Salty licorice is very different. But thanks to red and sweet licorice, people can often be convinced to try this salty candy I'd you just tell them it's "Swedish licorice".

Then Dag-Otto just sits back and waits for the inevitable look of betrayal and panic on his teammate's face as they quickly realize there's nothing sweet about this candy at all. As a matter of fact, it's instead extremely salty.

At this point it's practically a right of passage. So far the only people who didn't immediately spit this candy out are other European players.
