The online newspaper visited the Coop Prix at VG’s home on Thursday morning. Here too, a few floors below where it all started, both products were sold out.
According to a store clerk, Hockey Powder was empty at the wholesaler. Henriette Dahl Kjørsvik is Marketing Director at Conaxess Trade Norway. It is this company that distributes the Crocodiller by Lutti and Hockey Powder by Grahns brands to Norwegian wholesalers, who in turn deliver to stores. She reassures the honeyed Norwegians:
– Ask at the store. We have items in stock, both hockey powder and crocs in bags, so we can deliver! Dahl Kjørsvik tells Nettavisen.

He emphasizes that the company has nothing to do with the crocodiles in the small merchandise department, but with those that come in bags. When it comes to small items, Nidar (Coop), Candyking (Rema 1000) and Unil (Norgesgruppen) are responsible for distribution.
Elisabeth Ekheim, communications director for Orkla (owner of Nidar), promises that they will do their part to ensure that Nettavisen and others visiting a Coop store in the future do not find an empty crocodile container on the small items counter:
– The delicious combination of cute alligators covered in hockey dust seems to work well during the day. We noticed a big increase in crocodile sales on the Nidar Smågodt shelf. We still have more in stock and are working to meet demand in the future as well, Ekheim writes in an email to Nettavisen.
Conaxess also does its part to avoid shortages:
– We have Grahns, the hockey powder producer, to increase additional shifts, to meet demand, says Dahl Kjørsvik.
– Very good!
– Have you tried the combination yourself?
– If I have! We did it pretty quickly after the news, at the office, he says.
– What was the verdict?
– I think it was great! I don’t eat hockey powder as usual, I must honestly admit, but I liked the taste! And the alligators are really good, says the marketing manager, adding that the bagged alligators they sell are always fresh, making them oilier on the surface and better suited for collecting hockey dust, according to the marketing manager.

Good reports that it is Anette Løkstad who is the woman behind the mix, which she already shared on a Facebook group in 2014, but has only taken off now. Whether black or orange crocs are the best in the mix, she has no doubt:
– When it comes to mixing with Hockey Powder, I think oranges are the most suitable, because I feel like they are a little softer than black, Løkstad tells Godt.
Usually, however, blacks are the favorites, Løkstad reports, revealing that it was only recently that she found out that they tried black currants.
