Visual joke discovered in Finlandia Hall
Helsingin Sanomat
The optical illusion is attributable to the fact that the dark panel on the upper side wall of the concert hall appears to fit together perfectly with the northern wall of the tower of the National Museum. Director Markku Lahti of the Alvar Aalto Foundation believes that the effect has been a deliberate one. It is a well-known fact that architect Alvar Aalto liked to hide similar visual jests in some of the buildings he designed. The optical illusion came to public attention when a reader asked in Sunday’s Helsingin Sanomat whether or not such a phenomenon was a coincidence.
Spirits Review: Finlandia Tangerine Fusion
Creative Loafing Tampa
r maybe my love for the hearty Fins and the frozen tundra they call home will counteract those ill feelings towards anything as silly and inappropriate as cramming aromatic nonsense into bland ethyl alcohol. h um perhaps I betrayed my feelings there. It’s just difficult to have sympathy for any nation that can concoct a flavor as profoundly odd as the one that wafts from a glass of Finlandia Tangerine Fusion. The first whiff comes across as an orange scratch-and-sniff circa 1985 the kind of concentrated faux-citrus flavor that seems more appropriate these days for infomercial cleaning solutions or truck stop air fresheners. But wait Finlandia uses only natural flavors in its Tangerine Fusion. f course when they say natural flavors they’re likely talking about atoms stripped from plants and recombined by chemists in a lab not a few pounds of tangerine run through a food processor. With the first sip of the vodka I immediately peg the flavor thanks to a long childhood of aches and pains: Finlandia Tangerine Fusion tastes like chewable Bayer baby aspirin.

Killing Clichés and Chasing Lens Lice
Seattle Post Intelligencer
No one even talks about these places anymore. In the 1980s it seemed every other tourist in Helsinki was an architect there to marvel at the modern buildings. Today Helsinki’s once-striking Finlandia Hall by Alvar Aalto is only striking out. I’ve always listed the Kon-Tiki Museum in slo as a must-see. It was one when it captured the imagination of would-be sea adventurers a generation ago. Today the museum seems to be going the way of the log boat. I have also realized that I need to be careful not to romanticize the nobility and intelligence of a people I’m predisposed to be impressed by.
