The history page doesn't actually say but I guess in '77 Turkish cuisine was the one most quickly coupled with spicyness, and so they chose that for marketing reasons. That's just an uneducated guess though. --

At least in Finland, “turkinpippuri” (“Turkish pepper”) used to be the old, colloquial name for chili peppers. (This was back in the day when “ethnic” or “international” cuisine that would have used chili peppers as an ingredient wasn’t yet commonly available in these parts.) Perhaps it was the same in Denmark, too? —

Some people – I think those in particular who weren’t introduced to salmiac candy back in their childhood – do call the taste of all ammonium chloride candies “salty”. I wouldn’t exactly agree with that characterization (there are some very sweet salmiac flavored candies out there!), but it’s a matter of perception, of course.
Technically, ammonium chloride – Sal ammoniac, NH4Cl – is a salt of ammonia, but it’s a rather different flavor of “salty” than ordinary table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl). Moreover, in salmiac candies, ammonium chloride is typically mixed with sugar and licorice extract, both of which will also contribute to the flavor to varying degree, depending on their relative concentrations.
Essentially, when eating salmiac candy, you get both the sweet taste of sugar and the “salty” taste of salmiac (if “salty” is what you insist on calling it!) at the same time, but which one of them is more dominant will vary from one salmiac product to the other. Tyrkisk Peber, while quite strong and pungent in its “peppery” taste, is nowhere near as “salty” as
Fazer’s Salmiakki, for example. —
