Trying American Snacks For The First Time (Taste Test)

I'm trying American snacks, candy and drinks and rating them to figure out which is my favorite one. As a European, I've never tried most of these american snacks, so this is my first-time reaction too.

FOLLOW ME LOVE U:

You can put fluff on bread, but generally is used as an ice cream topping, usually with chocolate sauce too. I've never heard of strawberry fluff though, definitely rare.

The weird thing about the snack industry in the US is that 90% of the snacks coming out in the last 10 years are things that Americans don't even eat. There's just such a high concentration of weird novelty snacks that are produced with the intention of being impulse buys, but we don't really eat those frequently.

You're dead on about the sodas being novelty items. I know a lot of people who just collect crazy sodas, and there are occasional stores everywhere that sell them! Definitely some really gross flavors out there, so I'm glad the oreos one was good (I've seen ranch soda, steak soda, etc)

Takis indeed is Mexican. It has been growing a lot in the US recently mainly with the takis brand.

i think part of why american snacks are so sweet and unhealthy is because most people dont get them much. theyre never something you just have in the cupboards, theyre something you get as a treat every now and then as a kid. the only 'snack' type food my parents ever consistently had was tortilla chips and salsa

[Goopdog]

For the 0% juice thing, yes it is required by the FDA to disclose how much fruit juice is in fruit related drinks as to not mislead people through marketing. It's so you can't say "Buy our Fruit Juice!" when, like the Warhead soda, there's nothing in it but water, sugar, and artificial flavors/colors

Hello, i wanted to ask you if you could do the national dish of Kosovo (Flia)
Here is the recipe:

*Dough*
1kg white flour
1L Water
1 Pinch of Salt
1 Tiny piece of molten Butter

*Filling*

400g of Cream
2 Cups of Schmand
100g of molten Butter
200g of Natural Joghurt
1 pinch of Salt


1. Mix the ingredients for the dough until the consistency is a little thicker than the crêpe dough, add a little more flour or water if necessary until the consistency is the same as that described

2. Mix the ingredients for the filling and season with salt

3. Now grease a round baking dish (similar to a springform pan) or a round baking sheet and spread the dough out from the edge to the middle in a radial pattern, spoon by spoon, so that a "sun" is created

4. The filling is now carefully spread on the free surfaces with a spoon so that the entire bottom of the mold is now covered

5. Now place the form/tin in the oven on the top rail at 250°C and bake for a few minutes until the dough is brownish, then remove the form

6. Repeat the same, but this time spread the dough in a radial pattern from the edge to the middle where the filling was spread the first time. Fill the free fields again with filling (there where the dough was poured the first time)

7. Repeat this until the fli has reached the desired size. Finally spread a thick layer of the filling on top, cover with a kitchen towel and leave to stand for a quarter of an hour

8. Serve hot.

9. Flia can be mixed good with Yoghurt and Vegetables. This recipe is a bit complicated, if you have any questions inform me :)

For the marshmallow fluff, even if you don't like it, you gotta try a very thin layer on one slice of bread, peanut butter on the other. It's a popular sandwich called a fluffernutter. Hope you give it a shot!

American here with suggestions for if you do our snack foods again!

1. Slim Jims — they're these processed beef/pork sticks; I like the Mild ones, and they're absolutely addictive, I will go through a whole box of 14 mini ones in like an hour if I'm not careful
2. Arizona Green Tea — its a canned iced green tea that you can buy real cheap at any gas station pretty much. There's a regular Arizona Iced Tea as well, but I prefer the more delicate flavor of the green tea.
3. Hostess Devil Dogs — they're like the oreo cake you just tried, I think, but the cake is much drier and a bit less sweet.
4. Bomb Pop — this is a red white and blue ice pop, I'm not a huge fan but they're an iconic American summer treat.
5. Tanka Bars — this is my apology to you for suggesting Slim Jims before. Tanka Bars are Native-made pemmican bars made with bison meat and cranberries. They are the best protein bar I've ever eaten. I recommend the apple and orange peel flavor the most, but any of the three flavors are fantastic.

Anyways, this was a great video! I'm genuinely kinda shocked the flavor "blue raspberry" isn't really a thing where you are? It's a staple flavor in American. I don't really know how to describe it, it's just blue to me. Next time I go get a slushy/slurpee/Italian ice, I'll get blue raspberry and report back, because it's been a while, lmao.

Thanks for trying out our snacks, and I'm sorry for all the sugar!

Dude you NEED to try Sour Patch Kids Watermelons. They don’t sound different but WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

[puppylover]

I appreciate that you actually honestly rated them by taste and personal opinion! I see so many of these “I try American Snacks” videos where people just spend 20 minutes talking about how unhealthy they are without even mentioning the taste. I’ve never even had some of these things myself but I trust your word on them 😂

[thecoastergnome]

even I as an American have not seen some of these! good job on finding some rare snacks man! i'm going to have to check some out! keep up the great content!

[Alexis-lggl]

Love the video but as an american, a lot of these are definitely niche. I only know of about half of these and have maybe eaten 1/4 of them. I also feel like a lot of these are straight junk food snacks that the average person wouldn't eat that often. can't wait to see more videos though!

[yosho]

Takis are actually a Mexican candy, Barcel (the company) just sells them in America, but they also have other chips

[ntbored]

American snacks are so damn good and addictive but that’s the point, everything down to it is so you GET addicted and continue buying. Pretty packaging, amount, price, ingredients and all that chemical stuff

[flareon]

YES I hate the fake chemical fruit flavors 😭 anytime I'm in Japan I'm always eating fruit flavored stuff because it's actually flavored with fruit but in the US I avoid it even though I LOVE fruit flavored food and fruit in general (lemon tarts are definitely my favorite desert)
In fact, your reaction to every snack mirrors mine even as someone who grew up in the US lol everything is way too sweet and I love sweet foods

[ChamomileFeuille]

Holy shit! Dude! Your Spanish pronunciation is honestly SO good for someone who doesn't really speak it!
