The Austrian supporter didn’t know he was drinking a Finnish innovation.
The sun rose from a cloudless sky in Tampere.
In the host city of the Ice Hockey World Cup, the terraces were filled early even on Sunday. Many wore Lions shirts.
When the official fan area of the games opened in the afternoon, especially foreign ice hockey tourists headed to the area to enjoy the day.
In the serving tent, several people had put a drink in front of their noses. The Finn’s attention was immediately drawn to the drink choices, as several people who arrived in Finland from abroad were holding a light blue can.

Lonkero, that Finnish invention, seemed to taste good.
– This is good. A refreshing product, although I am perhaps more of a beer lover, praised the Austrian Tide.
He and the one standing next to him Elias had never tasted a tentacle before this year’s competition trip.
– So is this a Finnish innovation? Tidi was interested.
Both twirled the can in their hands when they were told why there is a mention of the 1952 Olympics on the side of the can.
Lonkero was developed specifically for the Helsinki Summer Games.
“20 kilos per bag”
Lonkero was already a familiar product to Sandra, Kontanstinus and Nadine. PASI LEISMA
Dressed in German fan shirts Sandra, Nadine and Constantine had already become familiar with the product during their previous visits to Finland.
– We are in a frenzy for the fourth day. On Thursday we started. We are here because of the tentacle, Sandra laughed.
The trio really love “grey”.
– You can’t find this anywhere in Germany. Very few have even heard of the whole product, unless they have been to Finland, Nadine said.
– We will definitely take the tentacle home! As much as you can get, i.e. maybe 20 kilos per bag, Sandra threw after.
The German trio got a reason to continue celebrating when Germany turned Hungary upside down with a crushing 7-2 score.
Tampere has really turned into a big festival area during the games. Even though Leijonat had a day off, the puck carnival was colorfully visible on the streets of Tampere throughout Sunday.
