American Food Products I Can't Believe ARE REAL as an Immigrant 

One thing your gonna learn quickly is to never trust the packaging. Everything looks better than it actually is…

“Are you sweet or salty?” “Neither, I’m 200 dollars poorer!” I don’t know why that was so funny to me.

“Cant believe america is a real country with real products!” 😂 this made my day lmao

I died when he was disgusted at the creamer and said “what is the golden ticket for? The emergency room? To cleanse my palate”💀lmfao

He's so adorable. It's like watching the entire process of an American child coming to terms with the fact that product marketing is all lies in a single sitting.

i'm american and watching him introduce the mac and cheese ice cream, i was even horrified

I think by now we deserve a compilation of Raphael dropping food whenever he tries to show us.

57:53 i would personally love a comeback of the 24h challenges now that you're in the US!! Things like: only the weirdest foods you could find, only stuff that is illegal in Europe, only frozen restaurant meals etc ~a nostalgic treat for your og subscribers~

I still can't believe that this guy still hasn't got an overhead camera/tripod. He keeps spilling things because he wants to show what's inside. Lol

As an American watching this, packaging and advertising makes all the products seem amazing. But we all know almost all will not live up to the hype. I am always amazed the few times I have found something that was actually good. I happen to think Digorno pizzas are one of those.

Here's a little secret about America, everything looks great on the outside but most times there's not much going on inside. That goes for people too not just products 😂😂

Raphael... PLEASE read this! If you want to show the food all you have to do is raise your camera higher and point it down, you can do that with a secondary camera too. You trigger me every time you tilt the food plate and they spill in all your videos, I still enjoy and appreciate your content regardless 😆💙

I have lived in the states my entire life and most of the things you reviewed are the ones that you see, question and walk away from in the store so it’s nice to see someone sit down and try them!!!

I hope your planning a 1 🌟 vs 5 star 🌟 cake bakery in America would love to see the quality difference from Europe to usa

I am absolutely appalled by your cereal preparation 😱😱😱😱 wrong wrong wrong hahah

I adore you, kid. You truly crack me up....but, I dont know ANYONE who would buy, let alone..EAT mac n cheese ice cream! Lololol

Couldn't you just make your own of those Ritz and Oreo cookies? You can just buy a pack of the Ritz peanut butter crackers and a pack of Oreos, and put them together.

Hope your stomach is doing well after trying all these snacks lol !

I love the way you plop drop scoops of ice cream from a height 😂

your videos have gotten me through some of the saddest seasons of my life, i truly love you. thank you Raphael!

I've lived in America my entire life and I can't believe some of the stuff we've come up with either

The cinnamon toast crunch cookie dough is basically a snickerdoodle cookie. Walmart is really getting all the unique product items lately. They even have fruity pebbles syrup. Some of these products are just money grabs but the other items are actually pretty cool ideas. The oatmeal and the honey bun ice cream were the few items I haven't seen in the grocery store.

omg the look on your face when you bit into the Ritz/Oreo....PRICELESS!😂 Are you salty or sweet, I would have to say neither, I'm BITTER and BROKE!😂😂

Thank you for your sacrifice in trying an array of snacks and foods that a lot of us Americans wouldn't even touch but were always curious about how they tasted! Lol! I'm addicted to your videos by the way! Keep them coming!

Cookies need to be baked on a cookie sheet. Your pan traps the heat and over bakes the edges. Also, make sure the cookie dough is very cold or even frozen if you want them very soft inside.

Raphael moves to the U.S. and proceeds to gain 40 lbs in the first month 🤣

The ‘Raphael-isms’ are hilarious! “What is the Golden Ticket for?! The emergency room?!” 😂

The cookies got over cooked because it was just 4 and the 16-20 min time frame is for all 12 at once.. If I make less cookies at a time I gotta check them early (around 9-10 min for this kind ) and they’re usually done early.

Cereal ABSOLUTELY goes FIRST. I cannot believe you put milk first 😭. I think of it like ice. You put ice in a glass of water first so it doesn’t overflow. Also in general the cereal is what you want more of so you put that first. I put cereal first then as I pour the milk, I can see the level that would get me the perfect amount in each bite.

I wonder how many times I'm going to say, “WAIT WE HAVE THAT!?”

I am just loving watching you experience new things here in the US. I would love to see you try some restaurants that are only here in the US, such as Sonny's BBQ or Cracker barrel, oh and lets not forget Crumble Cookies.

Hi Raphael!! Little hack for baked cookies, when you pack up your cookies, include a single slice of white bread. It will keep your cookies soft and fresh.😊

I don’t think the French would have any problem with the croissant pizza. When Iv been to France i’v seen bakeries with croissants made into mini pizzas. So having a full size pizza with a croissant base sounds delicious and the French would probably happily buy it.

If you paid 200 on the oreo Ritz I feel bad. They are now 40 bucks on ebay tons of them. Also you can make them yourself for the cost of a oreo and Ritz package. You could of just showed us a clip of the package and then made them for us to try. Don't waste so much money for us. I will watch you no matter what you do for your personality

Imagine worrying about a thickener called carrageenan in jello when ur literally eating hundreds of chemicals & preservatives most of which u can't pronounce & are banned in Europe 😂

Raphael: there’s no reeses The cookies: have lots of reeses in it

Who thinks Raphael needs to invest in a top view camera? 🙋🏻‍♀️✋🏻

I’ve lived in America my entire life, 41+ years, and I’ve never seen a lot of these, either. Good job finding such strange products!

As a French person, I'm not appalled by the croissant pizza (you seem to enjoy it, so it might taste good) but if I want a croissant, I eat a croissant, if I want a pizza, I eat a pizza.... Why mix both? I feel like American people are very attracted to "novelty food", they like to mix and match stuff to make it look crazy, original or impressive just for the sake of it and not for the real interest in terms of taste.

The “no” melting off of the plate was iconic

I buy those refrigerated pre made cookies all the time, all different brands (can't believe they don't have this product in the UK) but the baking directions are ALWAYS WRONG, no matter what brand. They always instruct to bake about 3-5 minutes too long! Consistently! It's crazy. Always, always underbake by at least 3 minutes for a very good cookie!

I looked it up and found the flamin' hot Mac n cheese was first available at Walmart on August 8, 2020.

sitting here watching you go off about flavor while i eat my original frosted mini wheats lmao

Okay two things: here in Sicily, Italy we have a savoury dish called “mattonella palermitana” which basically has the condiments of pizza, and sometimes ham, inside sort of a sweet croissant dough. So when you think about it that croissant pizza wasn’t that weird. Second thing, the label “gluten free” is written on things that are “obviously” gluten free because celiacs could get sick even just with contaminations. Meaning that if the factory that made that “naturally” gluten free product also made another product that has gluten in it they cannot guarantee that it’s not contaminated and therefore they cannot say it’s safe for celiacs to consume

I feel like I can make that ritz Oreo myself lol

Welcome to America Where you can put anything on the label and not get any punishment for it lmao 😂🤦🏼‍♀️😭

Pro baking tip: when you bake anything on dark pans or glass pans, you need to reduce the baking temperature by 25⁰ F. For example, if the instructions say to bake at 350⁰ F for 15 minutes, reduce the baking temperature to 325⁰ F and bake for 15 minutes. Glass/dark surfaces conduct heat differently which is likely why your cookies were a bit over done!

I've seen your first shopping trip to the grocery stores and the recipe knock offs. I absolutely love your channel and believe that someone would be mean to you. Subscribed

Hey Raf! Pop a couple of the Hershey’s Choco cookies in the microwave for a few seconds and try it warm 🤤

I just had to stop and say, with that Parkay spreadable butter, in the '90s, it also came in blue and pink. It was gross and had a weird texture. I see it's the same way today! There also used to be green and purple ketchup back then, if you didn't know. It was definitely an interesting time in America.

I really feel like telling you that you should consider a Costco membership. You'll find many interesting and better quality items there. Just know that Costco is bulk item buying. The benefit is their member discounts and rebates. Get the premium membership along with the Costco credit card. The two combined will pay you back for your membership cost many times over in the form of cash back benefits. Also, get your butt over here in Tucson! We have a cute airbnb for you (douceur obviously) when you feel like exploring here. I mentioned this before, but I know you're busy. Love that you are here with us in the US. All the best Rafa.

Having a delayed reaction to getting your own French/croissant joke was hilarious lol

For $200 I could make you 1000 of those Ritz Oreos 😭

I look forward to your vids so much!!!! As someone who has lived in the southern part of America their whole life and has never traveled to another country these vids are so insightful and interesting

We don't realize how lucky we are when it comes to food items in America until Raphael tells us these normal every day things to us is no where else! 😮

I was watching this without realizing that it was an 1h long, that just shows how entertaining he is

Man, I'd be the PERFECT shopping assistant for this! I'm that annoying chick pouring over every single product in the store looking for new/crazy/gross things I've never seen or tried before and I get super excited genuinely about it....even though I usually don't even end up buying it lol idk why!??

Raphael I literally live for these videos. Plz don't stop I love seeing ur opinion on American food and restaurants!!

I was so excited when you showed your laptop exporting this video! I swear I can watch your videos over and over again. This one will definitely be one of them. I was questioning the DiGiorno croissant pizza when I saw it at the store but now I gotta try them. It surprisingly looks very good for a frozen pizza. And those Cheetos mac n cheese are a staple in my household. I literally hoard them lol

Raph: I was a merchandiser for jewelry. One part of the city had different merchandise than another part because it sells better or worse, so it's not available or is available. Same with groceries. My BIL can't find all the flavors of M&Ms that I have and he's one state away. I found graham cracker, carmel, strawberry, mint, the usual peanut, regular, and peanutbutter, dark chocolate and I have yet to find the advertised cookie M&Ms. I've found chocolate covered blueberries, not M&Ms, which were AWESOME. I don't think many people found those, so what you find in your region, I will never find unless I order or travel to where you are located. I've NEVER SEEN THE CHEETOS brand food that you have in your hands, but have you seen RAP SNACKS? My area carries those. So beware, not everything is available e everywhere in the US. 😉. If you have a PO box, like the two English dudes, JOLLIE AND OLLIE? We can send you things we have locally/regionally that you may not have available. Like all the varieties of M&Ms that I have or chocolate covered blueberries rather than chocolate covered cherries. I've only seen it once, but I LOVE CHOCOLATE COVERED CHERRIES (cordials?) AND BLUEBERRIES. And I found dark chocolate covered blueberries and dark chocolate covered pomegranate. They are DELICIOUS!! Oh yes, I found CAFFEINATED DOUGHNUTS and I guess they work!!! Not sure of the flavor, but each packaged doughnut is equal to one cup of coffee! Plus, I found coffee and Coke MIX!!! Flavors, vanilla, dark coffee and caramel! Very nice. Carmel being THE MOST POPULAR, but highest calorie. I am amazed by the mac and cheese flavored ice cream! I know what you mean by liking it, but being taken aback at first. It's an acquired taste... but once you get it, you are hooked!!! I'm not much of an Oreo fan, but my CHIPS A'HOY, CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!! LOVE 'EM! I think I'd love the fudge ones and the Reese's ones. Just love choco chip cookies. There used to be an ice cream at Walmart called DIP or something, BEST ICE CREAM. It was like a banana split icecream sundae dip. It had chocolate, nuts, strawberries and strawberry syrup mix in vanilla icecream and chocolate sauce. I am SO SAD IT'S GONE. It could have been a Ben & Jerry's special just for Walmart that summer. Miss it so much! It was PURE PERFECTION!!!

I love your energy and wish you had more weekly videos! You are a breath of fresh air. And Salem is the cutest!!!

Newer subscriber here. I've spent the last couple of weeks binging your videos, and I could hardly believe that, yes, you did, in fact, invent instant hot cheeto noodles. I think America is banking off of your ideas, my dude.

I’m so glad you’re having so much fun in the US Rapha🇺🇸 very happy you’re here🥰

Welcome to America. Packaging makes it seem amazing but it’s always a disappointment 🤣

OMG I'm so hooked on the Firework Oreos!!! jajaja! Tried them last year and loved them! it's the texture and popping for me! 😋

A lot of things are basically made as trolls because they know we’re dumb and that we’ll by it, like the Mac and cheese icecream

your reviews are amazing like technically you describes everything with proper description aroma , taste ,flavours amazing am your fan since years

“Idk my esophagus… Did I just make that body part up” 😂🤣😂🤣 that got me good

I'm french and all I can say about the croissant pizza is that it had to be be made at some point. Is it a great thing ? Idk but it was necessary for science.

When Raf forgets the French part is the croissant part 😂😂😂

"I bought this myself and I don't even believe this is real" and "They're not shy about the potato chip. They are proud of the potato chip." are some of the most relatable American sentences this American has ever heard.

This. This is everything. I love his complete wonder and bewilderment. Please keep the videos coming!!!

There was a bakery near my work that served croissant crust pizzas. I walked there every single day. It took my entire lunch hour just to walk there and back. I didn't care. I ate while I walked back. I would have run if I had to. They were that good. I put on a few pounds that year. Not sure why

I love how he was more disappointed by the zebra cake ice cream than the Mac and cheese ice cream😭😭💀🤣

I love the firework Oreos like omg

America’s a real country with real products. You heard it hear first. 🤣🤣🤣

One of my fav series and a 1h video- much love ❤

Im embarrassed that we have mac and cheese ice cream in a supermarket 💀💀💀

I’m loving these long videos!

You just saved my day with this video! 😮‍💨💙 Love you Raph!

Your video randomly popped up on my feed, love your personality and your funny as well. Great product review

I missed you! Glad to see you back! Hope things have been going great for you ❤️

May I suggest retrying the oatmeal with warmed milk. Haven't have any of those just what I do with my oatmeal and might work a little better due to them being cereal inspired.

I've lived in America for my entire life (17 and counting), but I haven't even heard of so many of these products, but I mean my parent still buys the food I eat so lmao

These videos are so much fun to watch

I know it’s not much but I’ve missed your videos! I’ve been a subscriber for about 5 years. I haven’t seen a video of yours posted and I also did a search for you a while back and couldn’t find you, I also went through my subscribed list and you weren’t there. I figured you had quit RU-vid to my surprise. Yesterday I was surfing my video feed, and a video of yours was there.! I am so sorry I missed your move to America , but thankfully, I’m able to watch videos of yours from the past, and I am currently catching up with you. My wife also immigrated from India two years ago, so we would both like to thank you for your videos and also welcome you to America !! You’re a great person and we really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming please !!

I love these longer videos. I literally watch them all as selfcare

The possibilities are endless, have fun trying new products . Can’t guarantee they are all good but so many choices to explore .

You are so funny but I like that no matter what your first impressions are, you follow through and taste everything. Keep it up! Thanks

I’ve tried the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charm oatmeals and I thought they were pretty good. I don’t like my oatmeal crunchy, I like a mushy oatmeal that’s like a soup. 😅 The Mac and cheese ice cream and gummies don’t sound appetizing and I’ve never seen them in my local Walmart. Maybe I never looked. Idk, but sounds horrifying. I would love to try that DiGiorno croissant pizza, it looked amazing. I’ve tried a breakfast biscuit pizza before and it was alright, I’ve also tried a pretzel pizza and it was okay, as well. I’ll need to pick up one of those croissant pizzas the next time I go to Walmart for grocery shopping. Loved your reaction to our American foods. 😂👏🏽

Awesome. I eas just wishing for somethig good to watch lol hope you're enjoying North America! I am in Canada and we don't have a lot of the American things either.

You can buy tubs of cookie dough, logs of cookie dough, etc. Half the time we only bake 1/2 and eat the rest raw. Also never bake as long as they say!

I feel like Kraft has an entire team of nothing but stoners and they are in charge of new product creation 😂

Raphael's reactions to the Chips Ahoy cookies reminds me of my dad's reaction when he opened that huge Pepero box and discovered that it contains multiple smaller boxes. He legit thought it contains huge Pepero sticks 😭

hahah when I saw the croissant pizza I literally bursted into laughter :') In Italy we use puff pastry a lot for appetizers, so you will often find mini pizzas made of it and that will probably taste the same. Kudos to Digiorno for branding it as Croissant pizza cause they made something totally unoriginal sound like the greatest invention of all times. CHAPEAU as the french would saaaay

For that first one the macaroni and cheese I remember watching that video and going oh my gosh I have this in my cabinet sir 🤣

Genuinely hope your enjoying your move to America!

I always enjoy your ideas and videos... And those jokes and sarcasm in between is the best part 🙆‍♀️💓 Keep doing this... (the dots show my awkwardness lol) Love 🤗

Petition for him to go to 5 below day 1 😂

I have a serious question. Rapha, how were you able to open all of those chip and cereal packages at the top without ripping them and the food going everywhere?? You are truly a magical being.
