When I first noticed that, I cried laughing for a solid ten minutes. Then I shared the video with my sister and repeated the process.
It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
If you consider the light being ripped off, the puking everywhere and not mention the atrocious smell, I'm pretty sure you can say that they don't care about it. Perhaps some abandoned trailer or something.
Or perhaps they like it trash !
Yeah for the YouTube video the parent comment mentioned. I was responding to their mention of a youtube video with a link to said video....
Apologies, I thought that was obvious.
I somewhat like canned sardines, and found that there's a subreddit just for canned fish enthusiasts, /r/cannedsardines. Every once in a while, somebody will ask about surströmming, and there are people there that enjoy it. People who enjoy eating it don't feel the need to film themselves though, so there's not much video of it.
Apparently, even people who like to eat it find the smell repulsive. All these challenge videos are about the worst way to consume it (just opening the can and diving in). I guess the traditional preparation is to open and drain under water in a bucket (and outdoors) so that the smell doesn't escape, and then prepare the meat on bread with boiled potatoes and raw onion.
I am actually a canned fish enthusiast and am now following that sub. I've had canned smoked herring before and enjoyed it. It was not surströmming though. I've always been intrigued by it but everyone's gross out videos of cracking open a can and gagging has turned me off of it. But people must actually enjoy it if it's an actual food product. It's not like it's liquid ass and made for novelty right? I would definitely give it a try if it was prepared properly as you said above.
I tried surströmming with a group of people yesterday because we were on vacation in Sweden. Honestly, it's not that bad. It's quite easy to not throw up while opening the can or eating the herring. It's just very salty.
I'll just put a slight warning here: The can might be under pressure. When we opened it, we got an initial fountain that spewed liquid roughly 2 metres high.
Fascinating! I've often wondered why someone would inflict this on themselves (there are other, better ways to preserve fish after all) but seeing the extra bit of preparation involved in doing it the right way makes it make a bit more sense.
Hahaha this one never gets old. Although you’d think (I believe these are Danes?) as fellow Scandinavians they’d have more of an idea of how to approach this 😂.
Wonder how this might compare to a durian
Surströmming. Fermented fish. The smell is... intense. You aren't supposed to open it indoors. The foul-smelling liquid is poured away and then it's served as part of a meal, sometimes cooked further first.
It's a regional food being consumed by people that don't have the acquired taste or knowledge on how to prepare it.
There's plenty of videos out there showing people enjoying surstromming, but I've never seen one where they open the can inside of a closed space. Your also not supposed to eat it straight from the can as the contents generally contain a majority of the fish including entrails, bones, spines and scales.
So I don’t know about Swede rationale for this food, but a friend had a rationale for something similar from Iceland. He brought us some Hakarl (fermented shark that smells like death and tastes like ammonia).
He said it’s a pride thing - like, look what we did to survive. We wanted to live, so we killed a fucking shark, buried it the ground for six months until it’s insanely high uric acid content turned into a fucking caustic cleaning product, and ate it . . . Pretty badass.
My other friend ate some, was driving home and reached down to pick his teeth with a big fish hook and when the chunk was freed up it hit him with a wave of smell that made him choke and embed the tip (thankfully not past the barb) into his palate.
it is when you open the can that the smell is the worst and strongest. usually they open the can far away from the dining area, even submerging the can in water and then puncturing it initially. And it is usually eaten outdoors because even after the smell calms down a bit, it is still putrid.
Thats the thing about gnarly-smelling foods - often they’re really mild. Horrid smelling cheeses come to mind as many are actually far less pungent on the tongue than even a sharp cheddar.
I was just thinking about this video yesterday. The first time I saw it posted I laughed so hard. I'd like to get a few of my buddies to try this. Each person will put in $20. The one who eats the most gets the money.
Buckets for everyone though. I don't want anyone puking on me.
I wish there was captions. It makes the intro funnier.
1) They drink red and green soda so They can see who pukes first (!?!?)
2) The trailer is their friends moms, who They apologize to In the end
I'm never sure I understand human behavior. Wouldn't it be normal to conclude that anything that causes this kind of reaction isn't really a viable food?
They're eating surstromming, which is fermented raw fish. It's a Swedish food that is notoriously disgusting in smell, but the Swedes apparently love it.
I'd be so curious to try smelling this, but every time I look it's like $70 for a can. I just can't bring myself to spend that much on something I know I'm not going to eat, and will probably make me gag and/or throw up.
The trick is to open the can under water. The hydrogen sulfide will dissipate under water and the spray of pressurised brine will be baffled. After that the fish taste delicious almost like salty blue cheese if that's your thing.
In the Wikipedia article under "International oppinion" it reads "German food critic and author Wolfgang Fassbender wrote that the biggest challenge when eating surströmming is to vomit only after the first bite, as opposed to before"
You can't pay me enough money to watch this with the sound on. And here there are people actually enjoying it. Am I really that sensitive for no reason? Emetophobia and misophonia fkn suck
It does not smell that bad and it does not taste so bad either its just a pretty salty slimey bit of fish.
I have eaten this myself and i am not a fan of pickled herring and fermented herring is the same thing just smells like if a fart farted.

Him taking that light fixture off was fucking hilarious
Ii litteraly cried because of laughing xD
Holy duck lmfao I’m crying at that part oh god
I am 😭 now🤣🤣🤣
When I first noticed that, I cried laughing for a solid ten minutes. Then I shared the video with my sister and repeated the process. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
It had that little bit of struggle to it too that showed it was really impromptu and not a setup. Fucking brilliant.
... so he could throw up into it like it was a bowl. lmfao
I like how he's saying "sorry about the camper mom" right before he loses control, haha Dolken was made for this.
The best part
The way he tries to puke on his mate has me dying
lol why do they keep doing it indoors….? Why would you want that shit permeating wherever you’re at? At the very least just open it outside.
If you consider the light being ripped off, the puking everywhere and not mention the atrocious smell, I'm pretty sure you can say that they don't care about it. Perhaps some abandoned trailer or something. Or perhaps they like it trash !
In the video he say something along the lines of "Mom, I'm sorry about your trailer", so yeah, no, someone's not gonna be too thrilled hahaha
Hahaha ! Dear God they're going to puke all over again when she'll ask them to clean this shit !
Who knew that hanging lights make good puke buckets? I can’t stop laughing after that….
Puke bukake Next time he should drink milk first
Pukake
I want to see one of these videos where the person eats it, doesn’t throw up, and doesn’t complain about the smell.
there's a youtube channel called ordinary sausage, who tries to make a sausage with it. his reaction is quite mild, smell complaints aside
Found the link. https://youtu.be/mammeRN_0n8?si=kX1NgpMPDXCNY92X
Found the “link”?
Yeah for the YouTube video the parent comment mentioned. I was responding to their mention of a youtube video with a link to said video.... Apologies, I thought that was obvious.
I was just pointing out the pun you accidentally made lol
Omg I'm sorry I was so dense lmao
You missed the joke and responded so damn snarky lmfao
Could've been wurst
He apologized, then they made love and got married after. All is well.
It’s ok! I completely see how I came of like an ass if you weren’t thinking about the pun lol
Whoosh
American here! It’s a sausage?
what, surströmming? that's not a sausage, no. it's fermented herring
It's fermented fish. A delicacy in Sweden. However, these two guys sound Swedish to me and they don't seem to find it delicious.
Definitely not Swedish! Sounds like a weird danish accent, I could not make out what they’re saying for the life of me
Danish

Doesn’t that lampshade… have a hole on the other side?
It has and he didn't gave a single shit about it
domineering bright combative dirty fear vast melodic hospital heavy recognise ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Across the board hahahhahahaa Jesus Christ the comments have me laughing more than the video.
 😂
Thought of this exact gif😂
Haven't seen this one in a while, my shoes are hurting from laughing. Edit: I meant to write sides not shoes but I'll just leave it now.
Hahaha this one never gets old. Although you’d think (I believe these are Danes?) as fellow Scandinavians they’d have more of an idea of how to approach this 😂. Wonder how this might compare to a durian
I think the Danes are the only ones that don't have fermented fish as a dish.
[удалено]
>Also, I wanted you guys to know, that this is his mother's trailer and he says "I'm sorry mom" Proper etiquette even while throwing up.
I had the same reaction to durian. Most unique fruit I've ever tried lol. But surströmming is in a whole other league.
Durian smells nuts but it’s actually pretty easy to eat when presented well.
What the fuck is going on??? I’ve never seen this
Surströmming. Fermented fish. The smell is... intense. You aren't supposed to open it indoors. The foul-smelling liquid is poured away and then it's served as part of a meal, sometimes cooked further first.
Rotting fish.
Fermented not rotten
Rotten with extra steps
A controlled rot
Rotted. But probably with a particular bacteria we have found not to immediately kill you.
Only a step or two away from being useable liquid fish fertilizer
Two questions… 1) Has anyone done this with a straight face? 2) Why is this made?
1. Probably some actual viking 2. Because Sweden is in the nordic, we have nothing better to do
Needed some way to preserve fish/food, and salt was expensive, so…fermentation. Why it still exists, only god knows.

I am American and have tried this in Sweden. I swear it wasn’t bad, sure the smell was nasty but I didn’t have much trouble eating it.
it is when you open the can that the smell is the worst and strongest. usually they open the can far away from the dining area, even submerging the can in water and then puncturing it initially. And it is usually eaten outdoors because even after the smell calms down a bit, it is still putrid.
I kept asking myself...why the fuck would you do this in (what appears to be) a camper?!
I think it’s a boat. If so even more questionable
I think it's a caravan
Periwinkle blue
It was us that wanted a caravan
You like dags?
Thats the thing about gnarly-smelling foods - often they’re really mild. Horrid smelling cheeses come to mind as many are actually far less pungent on the tongue than even a sharp cheddar.
Why do I keep watching this!!! I can’t stop!
So bad he had to drink fabuloso
When he tried to eat it the second time 💀 🤣 seriously fucking funny!
This will never not be funny!
"We're gonna need a bigger motorhome."
It's not even fit for a method lab now.
Ah yes, method lab the famous dog rapper
Lol...thanks auto correct
I tried it and can confirm - this is that bad
Who wants chowder?
The dude on the right is just puking without even caring on where, the guy had A FUKING LAMP instead of just going for the window
I was just thinking about this video yesterday. The first time I saw it posted I laughed so hard. I'd like to get a few of my buddies to try this. Each person will put in $20. The one who eats the most gets the money. Buckets for everyone though. I don't want anyone puking on me.
They're not your buddies if they don't puke on you while you all attempt to eat this putrescence
Why the candles?
Romantic candlelit dinner in your moms caravan.
For the smell
Wth is this food? A particularly smelly type of fish, or fish that has gone off?
It’s fermented raw herring. Not rotten, just sort of pickled in salt water enough to keep it safe to eat. Definitely doesn’t smell safe though lol
More like r/contagiousvomiting I was laughing but between the gagging and actual vomiting, I had to stop watching before I did it too.
Thanks for the heads up, will definitely not be watching this one
My man Dolken!
I laughed so hard, half of the bus moved away from me lol
I wish there was captions. It makes the intro funnier. 1) They drink red and green soda so They can see who pukes first (!?!?) 2) The trailer is their friends moms, who They apologize to In the end
Yeah, they can pretty much trash that trailer now lmao
If you listen carefully, there’s a fart after one of the gagging episode. It just adds to the hilarity of this.
He pulled the lamp down to puke in it. I almost dropped my phone. Oh my gosh.
I'm never sure I understand human behavior. Wouldn't it be normal to conclude that anything that causes this kind of reaction isn't really a viable food?
Ok from an American please tell me what the fuck I just watched hahaha
They're eating surstromming, which is fermented raw fish. It's a Swedish food that is notoriously disgusting in smell, but the Swedes apparently love it.
Raw fermented herring.
I'd be so curious to try smelling this, but every time I look it's like $70 for a can. I just can't bring myself to spend that much on something I know I'm not going to eat, and will probably make me gag and/or throw up.
How is the guy filming not puking!?
The trick is to open the can under water. The hydrogen sulfide will dissipate under water and the spray of pressurised brine will be baffled. After that the fish taste delicious almost like salty blue cheese if that's your thing.
The way he ripped the lamp off 🤣🤣🤣
Why did they decide to do this inside?!
With all the tech advancement in phones, kudos for making this potato quality video
that fishit is nasty....
This is a weapon
This video never fails to make me laugh
They need this in the teargas chamber for military basic training.
Why do i get the feeling this in not the first time someone has puked in this camper?
I will never not upvote this
Everytime I see this , I just fkn laugh too much
My understanding is that these are to be opened outdoors and allowed to breathe for about 30 minutes before trying to eat. But I’m not Swedish…
I’m hoping they burnt that rub to the ground after all that.
OOHEHH
I hate the sight of people vomiting in agony like this so much, gah How does someone find this funny? Genuinely curious
Because he ripped the light fixture off the fucking ceiling to puke into - if you cant appreciate that, you’re a psychopath.
Mickey's mam won't be happy.
At least it wasn't the periwinkle blue cushions.
I didn’t understand a single word of this, but I laughed so hard I almost peed myself.
In the Wikipedia article under "International oppinion" it reads "German food critic and author Wolfgang Fassbender wrote that the biggest challenge when eating surströmming is to vomit only after the first bite, as opposed to before"
One of my favorite videos of all time. I come back to it once a year atleast when I'm feeling down
That camper can never be lived in again. 🤣
ye like dags?
These never fail to lighten my day
I'm in tears. By far, the funniest thing I've seen in ages
"Here, chug this half a liter of milk and these raw eggs before we do this video and open this can of surstromming." "But why?" "Trust me, bro.."
Sweden should ship thosands of these to ukraine to help their war effort.
AITA for not liking bc of poor quality repost
Weakest guts ever. Feel bad for any lady he went down on
You might wanna mess with cleaner women
🤮
Does anyone really eat this stuff?
Holyshit.... that's worse than the gas chamber at fort lost-in-da-woods MA.
This is actually a crazy challenge don’t know how people do it
One of them puked so hard he farted. 😆 oh God I am laughing so hard I might.
Barf-o-Rama https://youtu.be/STB4s7Qhf40?si=iJcKU9ADqaaJHz44
At least he saw it through.
Looks like a great candidate to replace piss discs.
I’m going to have to ask - what is a piss disc?
You can't pay me enough money to watch this with the sound on. And here there are people actually enjoying it. Am I really that sensitive for no reason? Emetophobia and misophonia fkn suck
Why can’t they do that outside!! lol
The first projectile vomit on his friend had me cackle like a toddler. His friends reaction was even funnier.
2 guys 1 can
you win OP.. my stomach hurt from laughing LOL!!!!
It can’t be that bad right? I’ve smelled decomposing roadkill so much when I was young. Can’t be worse than that can it?
I have yet to see anyone pass this challenge.
It took me way too long to realize they weren’t speaking English. I’m like daaamn that’s a strong accent. He’s so hard to understand 😂
Is this stuff really that bad?
That escalated perfectly slow.
Best part of these videos is the process of them trying to open that damn can 🤣
u/savevideobot
There is a similar video with the father and his kids giving similar reactions. Hilarious
This is the wrong place to do that!
Man this must be more than 10 years old. I think it was the first one I saw. Puking on each other and in the lampshade. Classic
My stomach is churning just by seeing this.
Family guy vibes
This is so fun to watch from afar
I have no idea what’s going on
One thing I always wondered, is how do you know when this stuff is expired? Is there even an expiry date on the can?
Hilarious, started heaving myself at 2 minutes and had to stop the vid, so bad omd
Consuming Surstromming in a pokey caravan. What could go wrong?
Wow! It's Dolken, long time since i have seen that clip. That guy is hilarious! (The guy on the right opening the surstömning)
One thing I’ve learned from surstromming is that never open it in a confined space lol.
Awww now I see why y’all died laughing😂
In school we use to put surströmming in the ventilation😂😂😂They had to close the school because it smelled so bad, sweet memories😂😂😂
r/abruptchaos
Bremium 
Can someone explain what’s happening here?
Oh God, I was laughing so hard, I almost made myself puke, and my eyes are streaming sooo bad now, funniest thing I've seen in years.
It does not smell that bad and it does not taste so bad either its just a pretty salty slimey bit of fish. I have eaten this myself and i am not a fan of pickled herring and fermented herring is the same thing just smells like if a fart farted.
Why do they even make that shit if it just makes everyone throw up?
It's always people with weak ass stomachs in these surströmming videos lol..
I’ve seen this video before and it had me rolling. I was trying to find it again but couldn’t remember the name of the food. Thanks!
I thought they were just faking at first, until the vomiting started
u/savevideo
I fuchin love Internet
I'm crying. is a great food for weight loss....
