Lýsi is cod liver oil, a dietary supplement derived from the liver of a fish. It was important for the Icelandic diet in previous centuries, but is viewed as an disgusting annoyance by children who are forced to have a spoonful of it with breakfast, as the substance is oily and a little bit fishy.
The children’s packaging of fish oil contains a character who is cool, has a baseball cap, and rides a skateboard.
