Yeah, Soap gum is defo a weird one. A few other Canadian gums that I remember are Black-Cat gum. another odd flavor but that one I loved. Beamens gum was really good but I think that's a UK product And lastly, Cum-Gum. Danged if I can remember the actual name but the name "cum-gum' came from the fact that it had a liquid center and when you bit into it it squirted in you mouth... Anyone old enough to remember the Fruit-flavored potato chips? Yes that's right, potato chips that tasted like Orange or cherry. All I can say about those is thankfully they were pulled from the shelves in about 3 Months,, YUCK! And to think that some executive, sitting around a big oak table, said, 'ya know Bob, that's a great idea, let's do it'. Bob and the genius are now washing cars somewhere saying, 'I coulda been a contenta...,'
They changed the ingredients in Caramilk around 10 years ago, they are super mid now, they went from a 85-90 to a 45-55 imo, the Caramel now tastes like a sweet chemicals and the chocolate is not as good either.
A full-size Coffee Crisp is where it's at. They actually changed the recipe like a decade ago, to intentionally make it taste more like coffee. I mean, it's a chocolate wafer bar.. it was good before, and it's still not bad, but the 'Double Double' version is rather meh. It's still one of my favourite chocolate bars, but I think it lost some points over the years and it's just not as good as it was.
The presenter said: it's just like an Almond Joy - except there's no almonds, so it's hard to compare. The counterpart to an Almond Joy is Mounds: the famous jingle: "Sometimes you feel like a nut; sometimes you don't. Almond Joy's got nuts, mounds don't."
as a Canadian, thanks for trying our snacks lol, glad you liked them! Also kinder is popular in Italy and other European countries. Canadas not really known for it.
Yeah, Kinder is a European thing mostly, we just have them in Canada because Kinder Eggs are banned in the USA. The word itself is German for 'child/children'. Kindergarten.
@@JbFit That's fair. lol, I enjoy watching these to see what is common here isn't common in the US... Like how Kinder Surprise is banned in Canada because it contains a toy which kids can choke on.... Stupid reason, but sure... (it's the parent's fault tbh...they should be careful giving candy to kids under the age of five - which is the minimum age for those, I believe)
Yeah it's true, I can see some of those have chocolate 'rot' (lighter discoloration, flavour changes) from being too old! Still edible, but the flavour will NOT be 100% accurate and probably affects testing.
You guys are scary! Especially the guy who hated wine gums which are a classic British sweet containing NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS which you described as weird and unnatural. Youŕ taste buds must be screwed
Canada has M&Ms too. I wouldn't say Smarties are that similar. The UK also has Smarties, however, the shell-to-chocolate ratio is different in each country.
Funny fact kinder eggs are banned in the US Because they have plastic toys in the inside It makes them a foreign food So they're banned just like narcotics And a person can get a fine up to 2500 dollars per egg 🥚 lol Also considered a choking hazard for small children
Most of these aint canadian im up to bueno which we get here in Britain for atleast 15+ years its european company im sure mrbig and coffee crunch is so far only thing u cant get bounty is British aswell...
I freakin Looooove Eat-More! and WINE GUMS!!! I am sad to say I don't think I have ever had a Kinder product other than the toy egg. Sounds like I am missing out.
You need to do 2 more Canadian "food" videos: - 1 on Canadian savoury snacks ie potato chips etc. Lay's or Old Dutch (they are each a little different from each other & each have their fans) - Ketchup potato chips Ruffles - All Dressed potato chips Hostess - Hickory Sticks Hawkins - Cheezies - 2nd video - Canadian - "sweet treats" BAKERY section - if someone can bring them (but NOT from Loblaws chain as awful version!): Nanaimo bars Butter Tarts - with or without raisins **** - no REAL butter tarts contain nuts (those are simply American mini pecan pies being passed off as butter tarts to all of those who don't know - which is even a number of Canadians that didn't grow up with home baking) OTHER section - Dare or Le Clerc - maple cookies Vachon section (lunch box favourites): Billot Log - (pronounced "billow" "log" - it's French) Passion Flakie - (The original) Apple Raspberry or else 3 Fruit Ah Caramel - "The Original" Jos Louis - (pronounced "Joe Lu-ee" - it's French) (can even get from Vachon) - Granny's Butter Tarts (with or without raisins) (Vachon has been coming out with a bunch of newer stuff, but many aren't staples yet I don't think.) Enjoy. 😊
Wow!!!! Thank you so much! We are def going to take all of this into consideration when we do another Canadian video in the near future!!! You’re awesome!!! Thanks again!
@@JbFit Well! 😄 It's ALWAYS nice to be appreciated & hear that you are "awesome." I guess that I am going to have to subscribe now & wait for those videos to drop (& see what else you have on your channel.) Take care & have a great day. Love from Canada. 😘
My dad would eat wine gums by the pound. We always had a big Costco tray of them. I learned to like em, you gotta soften em up a little before ya chew. Lol. I absolutely understand that reaction though. 96 for reaction. Cheers :)
Ohhh, thought of something that wasn't on this list.. the Big Turk! it's like a jelly loukoum covered in chocolate. Pretty good! You guys would probably also enjoy Bridge Mixture, that is also a hugely Canadian thing.
Ok, feel free to delete this post, it is meant for the creators more than the patrons. I may have given you some that you've already covered but I'm ust winging it as thoughts come to my, what I'll laughingly call, my brain. Maybe some of this may be of value... Cheesies (Can.) Vs. Cheesits (US) Cadbury chocolate (really any chocolate vs US version of chocolate) In the US you have to go to a chocolatier like kilwin's or Peterbrooks chocolate to get decent chocolate, the plus side is you can get heavily cholocated popcorn or Chocolate covered bacon, Down side , very expensive. US chocolate is mostly an extremely low-quality of what the rest of the world knows as Chocolate, following the American business model of sell the lowest possible quality for the highest possible price that Americans will stand for example, several Years ago Hershe's bought the rights to market their own cheaply made product under the Cadbury name. they are NOT the same thing. Yes the package clearly says Cadbury but the Chocolate is the sub-standard American variety. Another interesting thing , around this time, was that Hershe's was actually sued because what they were selling was not actually, by definition, Chocolate and they were required to re-package their candy with the words "chocolaty" candy, But in typical American style, that was eventually all fixed up,, God bless the almighty dollar huh? Lays Ketchup chips (there's no real apples to apples comaprison product in the US They don't taste much like Ketchup byt they are wildly popular and I believe they are uniquely Canadian Ruffles all-dressed potato chips vs Us's (there's a brand sold in North East US called The Whole Shebang that are very similar Hickory Sticks, I believe these are uniquely Canadian, Very yum.. I don't know of a US comparison. Smarties Vs Smarties. Totally different. US sparties are small hard tart candies very similar to What Canadians would call Sweet tarts. Conversely the Canadian version of Smarties is a small disk-like chocolate covered in a hard shell, very similar to what an American would call M&M's Fast food, all fast food between the Two countries taste pretty similar although American versions contain more chemicals and weird stuff. On taste alone though, pretty even both countries have unique products, for example at a Nova Scotia McDonalds, in season, you can get a McLobster sandwhich,,, Yum. Maltesers vs. Malt balls or Malted Milk balls. No real differance to me. Cherry Blossom, Nothing like it in the US, it is a large version of a typical chocolate covered cherry but the chocolate is very thick and is imbued with peanut pieces. They are grand, what can I say? I've seen these covered on a few sites but they are uniquely Canadian. I never encountered anything like them in my travels in the US, which were, incidentally From Michigan t0 Florida to California, and Back to Florida over the course of about 30 Years. Oh yeah, the cookie.. Doh! They're called Maple Leaf cookies. They are a Cream-filled cookie with a Maple flavor,. worth trying. Ok enough here, I'll carry on with my important work developing creative comparisons.. Cheers.
@@JbFit Coffee Crisp and Kinder Bueno are my two favourite candy bars, I don't think Coffee Crisp tastes like coffee, but it does have layers of crisps. Not really big on candy bars, prefer imported dark choclate by itself, a 1 inch slice is good for the day.
Why out of all of these Canadian candy eating videos has no one ever Tryed the big Turk candy bar ???????????? It’s the best out of them all Turkish delight
The After Eight bar is NOT as good as the flat patties that come in a rectangular box.....each in its own individual paper sleeve....those are YUMMY!!!!
The Crunchy bar that you tried - WAS BAD! You could see in the video, the chocolate - HAD ALREADY GONE BAD - so you can't give it a proper ranking based on that.
I've seen a few of these types of videos and I can't understand why you never try Cherry Blossoms, they are the best canada has to offer imo. Another comparison you should do is get some of the "Americanized" versions of Cadbury products and then get the exact (at leastwith respect to the package) same chocolate bar from Canada or the UK or really anywhere else than the US.. Try an apples-to-apples comparison. You can to this with most American versions of food, Try a 7-Up side-by-side of an American and then a Canadian 7-UP. The difference is that Americans use inferior ingedients to save money. Don't believe me? just look at the labels, the ingredients list, keeping in mind that the ingredients with the higher concentration come first.,If you compare side-by-side you will absolutely taste the difference. Rant over, adios.
Wow thank you for the ideas. That’s video seems like it would be really cool to do. As for the cherry blossoms I just had never heard of them before! But it also seems like we missed enough candy where we could do a part two
@@JbFit glad to help. If you want some other suggestions just drop me a line and I'll give you a list of potential comparisons. Thanks again for the vid
@@JbFit Ok gotya, give me a day or so to get on it. Bear in mind that these are subjective opinions. For example, Cherry Blossoms! if you took a cherry-filled chocolate you would find in a box of chocolate, gave it some steroids and sent it to the gym for a few Months, a cherry bossom is what would emerge. Not for everyone maybe but dang they are bangin in my mind.
EAT-MOREs are awesome, I love them as a trail snack because it's toffee and nuts. Definitely an acquired taste, and texture, but those things have the perfect amount of protein and energy! Canada's old school 'healthy' alternative bar that was in with the other chocolate bars, still had sugar in it but at least it wasn't just pure sugar.
@@JbFit They were always sold along with the chocolate bars but they were better for taking on a hike, bike ride, or camping. It's just right for it, and that happens a lot in Canada!
@@JbFit Well, they existed before energy bars but were on the same shelves as chocolate bars because they contain roughly the same amount of sugar; the difference was the lack of chocolate, but peanut toffee makes for an excellent trail snack. I guess even granola bars at the time had lots of sugar and were often chocolate-coated to get kids to eat them. I just have good memories of EAT-MOREs on camping trips.
Great bar, not really a chocolate or candy bar as the others said. You eat these for energy. Also tasting one of these while having all the other sweet things would throw it's flavor profile way off.
Kinder coming in twice in top three sounds about right. Their chocolates are unbeatable, wish you guys could try kinder eggs but I'm pretty sure they're illegal in america 💀(also if you guys decide to try snacks you have to try KD!! technically it's not a snack but its so popular here, we eat more mac n cheese than anyone in the world. Our boxed mac n cheese is so different from america, KD is elite)
We are planning on doing snacks soon so thank you so much for the suggestion!! It seems like we left out a lot of popular candy’s we had no idea about as well! But thank you for the suggestion and watching the video!!!
@@JbFit if you were gonna do every candy it would be a 2+ hour video, don't stress, Canadians are just proud to have something unique to us considering most our things are from America or UK
Another thing to note is that we also have many flavours of Aero and Kit-Kat, because similar to Japan, people seem responsive to buying interesting new flavours like Aero Mint, Tiramisu, Black Forest, and Nanaimo Bar! Japan is the world capital of strange Kit-Kat flavours, it's part of the culture there now to send someone a Kit-Kat before their big tests with written messages in the small space provided on the back SPECIFICALLY for doing that. Ganbare!
@@nigelwitgunn3406 I doubt you would much care for chocolate that didn't contain sugar. It would be very bitter. Also, only milk chocolate contains milk. Dark chocolate does not.
Don't know why people hate them, the green ones are indeed fire and I like the dark port ones. They are very tough to chew, they're more flavourful if you keep them in your mouth without trying to ingest them immediately. Kind of an 'old school' candy.
Oooh, those are good but they're soo sweet. Only once in a while. See, there's a maraschino cherry floating in the middle there with some cherry syrup and creme, surrounded by a chocolate shell that has crushed coconut and roasted peanut bits. Absolutely savoury, but way too sweet to be eating them often. It's like a gooey creme egg with a cherry inside; if you bite the top off first you can suck the cherry goo out.
