American Reacts to Canadian TikToks | #15 

Those buffalo drumsticks were mislabeled & they knew it. They are 20$ not 200. 😏

Not a Chance in Hell Drum Sticks cost that much unless it was way up North.

For those wondering, the Chicken Drumsticks for $200 is not normal, and is almost 100% a mistake from a Costco employee or their label printer.

The woman who posted the original video... took advantage of a Costco typo to spoof the rising food costs in Canada. Humour... our comedy is deadly.

The first snow tiktok : The biggest issue is not shoveling your way out... it's finding a place to move snow... where do you put it when there is 10 feet of it everywhere?!?

The “bring the wildlife inside in -30” is meant to be a nod to our PSAs when it gets really cold telling us to bring our cats and dogs inside lol

The Costco lables were misprints. They were supposed to be set to $9.99/kg but were accidentally entered as $99.99/kg.

Those deer look like they are about to fight. My Canadian instincts would tell me to run away as fast as possible because I am not getting caught in the crossfire lol

A true Canadian cuts bagged milk with a serrated steak knife because we're too lazy to find the kitchen scissors. Then after we create a horrible jagged edge, we get the scissor and fix it. A friendship bench is for kids who are feeling lonely, bullied, sad... basically in need of a friend or someone to talk to. Other students (sometimes faculty) will know they are reaching out and join them. It's hard to know is someone sitting alone, wants to be alone. This way you know they don't.

In Canada it’s normal to put white vinegar on fries with ketchup 😂

The buildings that were swaying are called "houseboats". They are quite literally houses that were built on the water. The swaying is because of water swells caused by passing boats or something else that causes waves to form.

Are you really a Canadian if you haven't used a steak knife to saw the bag of milk open?

The friendship bench is for kids who may be having a hard time but have difficulty " talking " to counsellors so you just sit on the bench and say nothing during breaks and someone who " knows " will sit down with you and eventually you start talking together and you realize your problem or difficulty may not be as hard as you think. You have " friends " you just may not know it. All teachers and staff know this as an unseen or unheard signal that you may need help , no words required. Even other students can help here and if they can't will find someone who can.

You DIP the grilled cheese...you *don't* put ketchup ON it

Deer 1: what are you doing? Deer 2: dance off, bro. Just you and me.

Ketchup on Grilled Cheese is amazing. A lot of people also put it on their Kraft Dinner as well.

The cn tower does have a bit of a sway as it is tallest free standing building in Canada. It was designed to do so

You are by far the most Canadian looking American that I've ever seen. lol

To be fair, that amount of snow in the first one is very much in the 'holy sh*t' degree even for a whole lot of us. I've definitely seen it happen, but it's very rarely that bad at once.

Ketchup on scrambled eggs is good shit

Did you know, Canadian build homes have doors that swing in, and USA doors swing out? The reason is because of the snow 😆

"Give up" is not in real Canadians' vocabulary. That is what separates us from everyone else.

Deer stand like that to sort of intimidate each other. If it doesn't work, they fight.

I live in southern Ontario. We had a very very soft winter, very little snow!

The tunnel is a winter fridge for the beer.

The drumsticks were a typo error. It's bad here but not that bad. Although a Metro grocery store was selling watermelons for 16.99 recently in Ontario.

Living on a houseboat means paying no annual land taxes, you pay moorage fees that can be equivalent to taxes depending where, but it’s usually a lot less.

(Born and raised Canadian, that knows way to much about food) 12:20 The reason why poutine isn’t in America is because Canadian gravy and American gravy tastes different and it doesn’t matter on what category of gravy, it just all taste different. Plus poutine gravy is a special kind of gravy. it’s a different taste then most gravy’s and it’s a fine line between thick and thin at the same time. Proper poutine gravy tastes like beef gravy but a little sweetened just enough to balance the salt of the beef, the tinniest bit of pepper to balance all the flavours together, it also has a very very faint taste of bbq sauce ( so faint that if your not looking for it you don’t taste it) and because you have to consistently wiske Gravy to make it right, the air bubbles add nodes of a creamy texture to the gravy. Gravy is an art form, Especially to get the texture right. Unfortunately a lot of restaurants don’t get it right but that’s why I always make it at home and many other Canadians do also. My mom always says what poutine has to have cheese curds and the best fries for poutine is shoe string fries but the universal fries for poutine is standard cut or natural cut. For those who are wondering, yes the cut of fries matters. The cut of fry will change the texture of the potato it’s made off. Standard/ natural cut keeps heat and moisture in which adds a perfect balance to the fry complementing the dish with out compromising on the size of the fry Crinkle cut are a little more dry texture but still is like the standard cut, just doesn’t hold as much moisture, which means your meal is going to feel alittle more Heavy then the standard cut but if your looking for something more filling without adding more calories to your dish this is the way to go. Wedges are a dryer fry and quite dense. So if you’re making a poutine with this make sure you have something to drink. Many restaurants that make this usually water down the gravy to balance the texture but it down plays the other parts that make poutine great and they tend to add way to much spices to balance it out and it doesn’t taste the same Waffle fries can be hit or miss on texture. You either get it right or not but because of how the fry reacts with the gravy it makes the textures weird and downplays the flavour of the dish. It makes it a little more bland. Shoe string cut is a crunchy and light fry. The crunch of the fry allows the gravy to get into the fry a little without making a mushy fry. Which balances out the texture of the dish and complements each other to make a more satisfying poutine. Curly cut you either like it or you don’t. It still is a good fry but personally poutine with this cut isn’t right for me. The curly fry makes the same taste as the shoe string but has the texture of an under cooked fry. So many people fix this by over cooking the fry but it still doesn’t have a consistent enough texture for a poutine in my opinion but is still a good option for most people without sensory issues There is so many more I could do but those are the basics that I can think of right now. Poutine isn’t just fries gravy and cheese. It’s a symphony of flavours and textures that is not easy to perfect, especially when so many people prefer different balances with in their dishes.

I use scissors for bag milk

I just always used scissors to cut the bag milk

I went to the sugar shack (cabane à sucre) this week-end with family and friends. When you pass beside the boilers shed where they boil the maple sap to transform it to maple syrup, the smell is just wonderful. When your in the shed, it's just WOW! Then there's the maple taffy on snow (tire d’érable). Hot maple syrup is poured over fresh, clean snow. The syrup quickly cools and thickens, allowing you to roll it onto a popsicle stick for a chewy, maple-infused lollipop. You can't stop at only one stick.

'Bring them inside' is a meme. It's the part that comes after 'If you're cold, they're cold ...' and the meme is generally applied to an obviously wild or dangerous animal. It's making a joke of a PSA directed at pet owners intending to convince them to let their pets inside when it is cold out.

Buddy in the first video was just out for a dart

Yep, Ottawa's old gaol (jail), built in 1862, has been turned into a hostel. You can spend the night in a cell. The ones on the top floor, death row, are super narrow. I had a friend who barely fit. He was big and tall and couldn't turn around without exiting the cell. They were restored as close as possible to their original 1800 conditions, except for the windows and heating and such. You used to be able to tour it as part of a "haunted walk" around downtown Ottawa, but as of last year (2023) the new company running the hostel decided to cancel their contract with Haunted Walks Ottawa. It's a bummer. It was a fun part of their tours.

“Friendship bench” aka “buddy benches “… started in elementary schools for kids that were lonely. Moved to into high schools as well. Usually they were outside by the playgrounds . The idea is : If you need a friend to play on the playground with , just sit on the bench and wait a bit until other kids that also need friends to play with come to the bench too. Then those kids play together . So it’s a social thing .

I call BS on 200$ drumsticks. Maybe 20$.

A moose hanging out by the dryer vent 😂

Ketchup on chicken is something this Canadian has never even seen, Dipping a grilled cheese tip in ketchup is pretty standard. If you're into a grilled cheese made with real cheese(s), any variety of mustard applied to the insides of the bread is crazy good.

Where i live in Canada the elementary schools have buddy benches. Its the same as friendship bench in that when someone sits on the bench, it shows that someone can come to sit and talk with the person so they dont feel alone or lonely

This hide out is probably your best chance of survival in a snow storm!

The bobbing houses are houseboats.. homes built to float on lakes. Bobbing is likely due to a passing boat.

JOSEPH!!! (the bag milk guy) I love that guy and his friend from the US - they do vids together comparing Canadian things to US things...so much fun!

Those drum sticks must have gold wrappers. I bought chicken yesterday for $12.

The tunnel in the snow, is them working to get out… one year New Brunswick got over 100 inches of snow

A pound of butter is $8 in Toronto, ridiculous. I've started making my own, thanks youtube!

Tyler - YOU ARE OBVIOUSY ALWAYS CONFUSED.

Bring the animal into the barn (the one with the cow in it)

Most people I know just use scissors to cut bagged milk, I've yet to see a jug that comes with a cutter myself

There are several fault lines across Canada. We even have a few volcanoes! Swaying is part of the way the buildings maintain their balance and absorb the stress.

The vent must be where the hot air from the clothes dryer exits the home!

I put ketchup on scrambled eggs only

Ketchup & grilled cheese go together like milk n' cookies.

They have a monorail gravity ride down a mountain in Blue Mountain, Ontario. It’s fun.

As kids we used to love those huge snow drifts for digging out forts. That is basically what the first guy did. They are pretty warm and cozy places to escape freezing your ass off.

We can get between 5-6 FEET of snow in the winter season in New Brunswick Canada but winter 2023-24 we were spared.

That price is a typo but we are gouged on food prices the detriment of having only 2 conglomerates owning all our groceries

I can confirm the amount of snow is normal. One of my favorite thing is to use the winter as a fridge. A cold beer with small ice crystal in it is just THE BEST. Or soda jist before it gets frozen with small ice crystal in the drink. Most refreshing ever

That milk jug thing is not normal - thats why it's next level! Also cut the same size hole at the front and back of the bag to make it flow easier.

I'm Canadian and just bought 10 drum sticks for $9 bucks. Yes up in the yukon, Northern BC, Northern Alberta working on the pipeline were you have to cross ice roads to get the product. Yes really expensive. 🫰 Block of cheese $35 bucks. Carton of Milk $27 dollars 😳 but drum sticks $202 dollars? That's were I draw the line😅

A Canadian here..that animal that was outside is a cow also known as a female moose. Or it could be a bull (male moose) that shed its antlers.

The classic beavertail is simply brown sugar and cinnamon. This was something my parents and grandparents used to put on toast; but has now gone out of fashion and replaced by peanut butter and jam. Another classic my father likes is peanut butter and molasses (mixed together) on toast!

'' What's going on everyone, I'm just a typical, average American, here today to react and ENJOY some Canadian Tiktoks." This really touched my heart, Tyler is not learning anymore about Canada.. He's enjoying it now ! I love it :)

They did indeed have an earthquake in Ontario recently

Im not oppsess with maple. I only have 2 type of maple syrop, mapke sugar, maple spread, maple candy, maple protain powder, maple liqor and maple bacon thats all 😂

Currently, we have huge problem with food price... that's true

$200 for drumsticks?😆Not a chance in hell. That was an obvious labelling error.

About the mountain rollercoaster: MINERS use that to go down the mou tain faster. There are a lot of them in Quebec.

That 200$ thing has to be a printing error

The wood tower is located in Quebec province in a region called the Laurentian. About 2hrs north of Montreal.

Cutting the milk bag with too big a hole means the milk gushes and splashes.

I am surprised that he's weirded out for ketchup and eggs. That was like one of my go-to breakfasts as a kid was ketchup and eggs

In my high-school students could vote as to what classes they'd be interested in learning (world religions/history, philosophy, cooking, welding, fashion design, etc etc) and if they didn't have a teach who could teach it for next year they would try and find one, or train a teacher to teach it. It was amazing. Teaching kids what they actually wanted to learn

If youve never dipped your grilled cheese in ketchup you're missing out.

Yes at some mountain resorts, even smaller mountains like Blue Mountain in Collingwood, ON there are go-karts on rails or in a half pike or luge type track with a manual control joystick to speed up, slow down or brake. It’s kind of a gravity operated single person roller coaster ride.

His man cave made from snow! Lol

I've been to the Revelstoke mountain coaster. It's a ski resort, where they've added this attraction for summer.

Fun fact. Our CN Tower actually does sway up to 7 feet in each direction when winds are high. Also, You can actually get video of it swaying just like that by recording it and then speeding up the video. See how fast the pedestrians are moving...Also, our Winters have gotten so cold in some areas and with the destruction of so much natural habitat, moose, deer, small game etc frequently freeze to death now. Which sucks for hunters... (And animals) LoL

Even way up North, they would rather raise their own chickens for drumsticks than pay that price! And NEVER at Costco, unless it’s the entire farms worth

Looks like a baby moose.

The back of that castle has a beautiful mural on the back. I also bought some furniture from the owner of that place years ago from it's previous life before it was rented.

I love to dip ketchup with battered fish sticks. Mmmmm

That first little video with all the snow. Yes I have seen it happen. I worked in one place where you can get snow drifts up to 60 feet.

Those “houses” are boats!

7:07 that coaster is so fun. Been on it a few times. You controll the brakes, if you want. Or just push the handle forward to have no brakes the whole way down for more fun

Im not a big ketshop fan but on eags and grillcheez its pretty good 😂

that milk holder is next level!!!

Very few people use ketchup on everything, I’ve only met one. I’m 58 and never had or seen a beaver tail pastry

I have had jump off the 2nd story of our house to dig out the front door many times

Guess this won't be a long-lived thing, considering the upcoming US TikTok ban.

The craziest part about the snow in Canada is that you’re still expected to be to work on time. Not matter how much snow you just got.

The problem with making Poutine in most areas of North America (even parts of Canada) is access to the essential ingredient; cheese curds. Quebec produces lots of cheese curd; which you can often buy directly from the producer or at the supermarket. This is not the case in most provinces in Canada or in the USA. Try to find it where you live?

Snippets (what we call the thing that cuts open the milk) are amazing for way more than bagged milk! I use them for all plastic packaging!

The chicken is a displaced decimal. It’s probably 20 dollars

No, someone messed up the pricing on that chicken LOL. No way would it be that much! 10x more than it should actually be.

Unless things change, using Tiktok videos may be difficult for you quite soon, Tyler. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and the EU Commission already ban its use on official phones. India, Afghanistan, Taiwan, and the US have more extensive bans already or in the works.

I keep my Snip-it on the fridge because it's a magnet. But it has a clip. I guess I could keep it on the milk jug. I never really thought about it.

I live in Ontario Canada. We have I believe the highest cost of living of any province in the country, and yes our food prices are absolutely insane. That said, I have never seen anything like those drumsticks, pricewise. I have to question if it's even real or if they set it up somehow. That is absolutely absurd if true. At that price those things better be deep fried in liquid gold and cure cancer, and add 3 inches to your peen on top of it.... Speaking of food, I don't know anyone who puts ketchup on chicken. The rest is true though.

friendship bench - Students who need a friend to play with can sit on the bench during recess and other students are encouraged to invite those they see sitting on the bench to play with them.

Thank you for the content!! All we need is the right advice on how to invest in crypto and we will be set for life, I made over half a million dollars from trading the crypto market this year

A lot of trees just leak syrup. Every Canadian kid has tapped a tree for syrup by the age of 8. I can't explain our fascination with syrup. It just flows out of our trees and it is amazing
