        Yet another swede here. The camera guy is pretty close in his pronunciation of Julmust. Jul goes almost like the first part of Julian, and then a Must at the end, but pronounce the U like in "pussy".

        About the different brands, I dunno, I've never really tasted that much of a difference. I'd say If you didn't like the mustiness you'd probably not enjoy the fancier brands either.

        Also, I second the "too many people" comments.

    I fully agree with Samuel Karlsson, there exists a lot of bad Julmust, and you should probably try to import a real Swedish bottle. A lot of the cheaper brands do taste like shit. Beware of Spendrups! It is notoriously bad.

    As some other people said, Julmust relies a lot on the brand and it's particular recipe. Apotekarnes is the shit and the only one that gives Coke a run for it's money year after year. Yum Yum, I'll think I'll run & get me some..

    Oh Man, You managed to get some Pepsi Holiday Spice! I was asking you to try that not to long ago if you get some. I really liked it the two years that they released it. I was really disappointed that it never made another return after 2006. And yeah, it was kinda a mix of Cinammon and Nutmeg. God I miss it. And now I miss it even more.

    Hehe, it was interesting to see you guys try julmust. Since it's a seasonal drink, it's really a deep rooted tradition over here that you had every Christmas growing up. It's pretty much a law that you must have it on the table during Christmas dinner.
    Funny thing that you mentioned 'beer-soda', because there's another Christmas drink, svagdricka, that's pretty much fits the description beer-soda. It has a small percentage of alcohol in it, but it's so little I'd still consider it more of a soda than anything else.

        Oh, nothing so extreme for me. I just don't drink because I've never done it before. Public education pretty much scared me away from doing it as a teenager and frankly I dislike the idea of losing control over myself.

        Otherwise I'm saving my first actual drink for a special occasion, like a wedding. I came close to having champagne at my brother's wedding, but I spilled it before I could drink it and saw it as an omen.

          I managed to stay away from alcohol until I was 21, being the designated driver to my friends mostly because of it.

          The occasion where I took my first drink was when I got "released" from the military (as it is compulsary in Finland). Now that was really an occasion.

          I like drinking also up to the point of becoming drunk sometimes, not too often, but I can see why someone would dislike the idea. It's just a scary concept when you put it that way.

          But believe me there was no danger of any effect from trying that little amount of alcohol even for a first timer. You would most certainly have found it disgusting though, because alcohol is very surprising for a lack of better word when you don't know what it tastes like.

    But yeah the Ikea brand stuff isn't that good, they mainly get it because it's cheap.
    I wouldn't be surprised if the proper stuff like Apotekarnes is still a bit of an acquired taste though.

    The 'Julmust' will be a swedish root beer - most countries in Europe have an equivalent, and they formed the original recipes for cola. In Britain, the equvalent is called Dandelion and Burdock, and was a traditional cough cure due to the coating effect it had on the back of the throat (very soothing for sore, dry throats).

    Brad, you have made me a happy man. Holiday Spice Pepsi is to me what Crystal Pepsi is to you. For the too few months it was out, my family acquired and guzzled every last bottle of this stuff we could find in Southeastern Pennsylvania. It was, during its time, without a doubt my favorite soda. Now I need to go and hunt down a case.

    As many people have pointed out before I, this is clearly a case of too many people talking at the same time. I can't help thinking that it's really just the nature of reviewers to say anything that comes to mind regardless of others doing the same. Perhaps it's something where everyone feels they need to say something in order to make themselves feel important or feed their need to spout their opinion. There's hardly any yielding to anyone to make anyones opinion stand out. It reminds me of Kickassia except the only thing keeping that in check was a "script" and a "director."

    I usually stick to Pepsi, but most of my family go over to musts during these seasons. I don't even think my father drinks any other soda than different musts.
    My fridge currently contains 3 Julmusts(nygårda) and 1 zingo, just something to soothe your taste for anthropological knowledge.

    As Ofast says the brand might matter.

    I must say that you got a bad brand of Julmust. There are a lot of better brands.

    Also... Try to mix Julmust with Vodka and you will get what we call "Elak tomte" Aka Bad Santa

    I don't know why everyone is complaining about the amount of people in this video. I thought the interactions were very natural and charming. I also like how everyone got so shocked that one person thought it tasted like Fruit Roll-Ups and another was tasting alcohol. I was cracking up.

    Please review more things with Doug. You two have comedy chemistry.

    I kind of love that it seems like every swedish person watching this wants to defend our "national drink". Didn't realize so many swedes were watching.

    Personally I actually don't like julmust, but still drinks it every christmas because of tradition

    I think these websites (tgwtg, avgn, spoony, cinemasnob) are more popular in Sweden than in the states themselves.. And yes, I am a swede of course, i egen hög person!

    Julmust is delicious, not sure about that particular brand you tried, wouldn't count on it..
    And what's the deal with the flavored beers?? It's like fucking, coloured gasoline, like, what? WHY?
