6 x Norwegian Milk Chocolate "Kvikk Lunsj" bars from Freia 47 grams - Made since 1937

One of the most beloved Norwegian chocolates!

How did four crunchy cookie bars covered in Freia Milk Chocolate become the travel ration of all time?

PERFECT IN THE ANORAK COMPARTMENT

In 1937, a new chocolate appeared on the Norwegian market, which was supposed to be the ideal travel and reserve provisions. The shape of the new chocolate was tailor-made for the ultra modern sports garments of the 1930s, namely the anorak. Moreover, the chocolate was easy to carry and easy to consume and it took contemporary nutritional issues seriously. In fact, it was said that this chocolate had the same nutritional value as one egg and two pieces of bread with butter. 

JOHAN THRONE HOLST OWN IDEA

Of course, it all started a few decades earlier, when Freia's founder, Johan Throne Holst, got lost in the field with a business connection. The traveling companion complained that Throne Holst had not brought chocolate with him on the trip, something that Throne Holst obviously never forgot.

NORWAY'S TOUR CHOCOLATE

Kvikk Lunsj has since established itself as Norway's travel chocolate. It has always encouraged people to go on trips and given us good advice along the way. In the 1960s, the mountain weather rules were printed on the packaging and since then it has provided travel tips, information about sights and the Norwegian Tourist Association's cabins around our wonderfully scenic country.

Did you know…?

When Kvikk Lunsj was launched in 1937, chocolate as nutrition during strenuous physical exertion was well established. Chocolate was an important provision when the polar hero Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911.

The very first batch of Kvikk Lunsj was made with dark chocolate. Shortly after, Kvikk Lunsj came out with milk chocolate as we know it today, and the continuation has become chocolate history.

During and after the war, between 1941 and 1949, the production of Kvikk Lunsj was stopped, among other things, due to a lack of sugar and the quality of the flour.

When Norway organized the Winter Olympics in Oslo in 1952, an incredible 10 million Kvikk Lunsj bars were sold!

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR MY AMERICAN CUSTOMERS:

Ever since I started selling on eBay in 2012, I have offered "free shipping" on all my items/auctions. The reason I have been able to offer this is that I have used older stamps as franking and I have great access to this and have been able to keep costs down.

From January 1, 2026, unfortunately new rules came from the US and all shipments to the US must now be registered online, US customs fees must be prepaid by the seller (me), and shipping must be paid with a credit card. Postage stamps are now only allowed on normal letters and postcards without any value, and part of the customs handling fee.

From 1st January, I was unfortunately forced to charge full shipping, (which is very expensive from Norway) to all my American customers. To all other countries in the world, I can still frank with stamps and still offer free shipping. 80% of all orders that come in from eBay are sent to the USA so needless to say this is disastrous for my business, but unfortunately nothing I can do anything about, and I must start concentrating on selling to other countries. As an example, I can send a 2-kilo package of goods to a customer in Canada, Japan, or Australia with free shipping (franked with older stamps), while an American customer must pay over US$25 for the same package. I really regret this, both for you and me. I am in the US a lot both on vacation and for work, (my main job is for an American company based in Miami), and I think the US is a wonderful country, but the new tariff rules are of course not to my liking.
