Americans Try Korean Snacks For The First Time 

Please don't judge us all even if you are correct about the majority. I enjoy trying new foods and many of my friends will follow my lead once they see how fun it can be.

I disagree. From what I've seen in these buzzfeed videos the Americans always try and give good remarks but when the others try American snacks they'll always give bad remarks

***** nope its because they simply hate USA for no reason. Only god knows why

Because many of us think it's disgusting

tyler t meh... I think its more related to the fact that most commercial american food is just chemical laden garbage.

The only fat Koreans I see are like dads that are between 40 to 50

UPlayNetwork chik

Clearly you have never met my father or any common middle aged Korean man

I used to live in Korea, and being fat in japan or in South Korea is illegal

lie again 😂

+The Puppet Wolf AJ Nah...

+The Puppet Wolf AJ Oh Is it so .then why is it called a comment section..I dint use any offensive words or any bad Language did I.. and it's my wish... I just expressed my opinion... and I respect what you replied to me...

+kavitha ravi Yeah Ella is so rude and annoying in EVERY taste test video i've seen her in. It's like "what kind of flavor do you actually like??"

+kavitha ravi some fish sausages do taste bad but... yeah I'd call that an overreaction.

+Lucie Gaudin She's so annoying in everything

she looks like jared leto

Omg so true 😂😂😂😂

+c1rcu1tn3rd the person on the thumbnail

Oh dear I just realized this.. But i love your profile pic!

Oreo Sprinkles Mine? If so, thank you!

your ignorance is showing.

jmbenning So is yours considering you dont even know to put a capital letter at the beginninf of a sentence. My comment was somewhat satricial. Dont worry, youll evolve soon enough and might even get it. In the meanwhile, dont forget to tie your shoelaces, your bus is leaving...

Haha you are trying so hard it hurts. Calling me out for grammar? Did you just pick up "how to troll for dummies" recently? Here, let me sink to your level. Perhaps try correcting "beginninf' and 'satricial. Am I doing this right?! Boy oh boy I got you good.

jmbenning No, you really didnt. Especially considering youre clearly American...anywayyy....

There should be an apostrophe on words like 'didn't', just a heads up ^.^

they should try korean street food next ^^

i love everything they showed except the fish cake! like i can tolerate it and i'll eat it if it's in soup but otherwise..nahh the texture and taste gets to me.. but those taiyaki ice cream are soooo good omg

That's the spirit. Nice.

아름다운 (/^_^)/ I love your videos!

My step dad's mom brought over a bunch of those rice cakes it was years ago they were so good😣

Sim Jang Same XD

Sim Jang me too and overreact!!

Just sayin 십장 ( pronounced sim jang) is heart in korean.

Just because it's foreign, doesn't mean you should automatically like it. Yes, overdramatizing is kind of weird and immature, but this is Buzzfeed. If there's no one to ham it up or be overly dramatic, then it's not Buzzfeed

Sim Jang stop being offended then you fuckface

hey army 😂😂

민서 Heyyyyyyyy :D

I literally was singing that in my head when he said that👏

Hahahaha i was literally about to point that out LOL

omg lol

Danish food

Scottish foods idk

Russian snacks

Macedonian traditional food :D i dare u

Indonesian food

Well Buzzfeed tends to mix some good-tasting food with crappy ones. You'd be skeptical if you had to try some mystery-flavored snacks too.

Idk. I like weird food. Some of the stuff I've seen them try and reject are stuff I like XD

Its what all people do when they're unfamiliar with a food. Everyone does it.

Considering the majority in this video liked the snacks, it may be just you.

KH I meant the people in all the taste test videos, not just this one

+Audrey Liew I miss tteok! I recently got nut and shellfish allergies! T_T!

Andy Chen Awww! *hugs!*

+TheMechanicalGirl999 Me too i miss tteok i didnt eat it in a long time but are you korean? if so then i am too

Jaein KhoLovesPugs, white and American but fortunate enough to have a few Korean friends that know where the rarely tasty Korean restaurant in town is! as well as friends from other parts of Asia, including SE so I get my hands on ALL THE NOMS!!! LOL!!!

love your profile pic

+Michelle Evans how , raise my hand how

I have because I am Korean. But the only thing I haven't seen Is the fish sausage. Been to Korea a bazillion times tho.

+Michelle Evans ALL OF THEM! (basically my food religion tbhh but they're not the best snacks)

I'm Korean so I ate lots!!! And all tastes good:)

I'm Korean and had tried EVERYTHING. I hated the fish sausage. And I literally visit my 할머니 (grandmother) every year.

Lol fish one

TitanzGEM lol

the sausages? They taste really nice o-o....... i mean i dont get why they react like that since ive ate that since i was little.... discovered that it tasted better than sausages white people make.

ah haha xD my friend doesn't like it either LOL she stays away from me when i eat fish products. I dont like proper fish though. I only like them in snacks o-o... The crab sausages r better btw.

Kim Anna It's available here in the Philippines woohoo

This is Buzzfeed video, so they're overreacting on purpose to make it funny for the video.

Well our taste buds differs... No shade to you...m an Asian but I don't like seaweed.

I'm not asian or American. And I would pick trying asian food over American food because of the portion and contents. But that's just how they advertise American food in the UK

Like most of these thinks are delicious af. And I never tried balut but I kinda want to try it. (Btw. I'm a filipina😂)

***** squid ist delicious af

im not korean but i really like the kimchi (well, korean food is like a hit or miss depending on the people)

+MrBroxMan It think it's just the culture shock of the different flavors (especially anything seafood or fermented). I honestly wish the bean paste concept was more of a thing here in the US. I've had Japanese-style mochi and dango with it a few different places and can never get enough. I finally found the ingredients last week to attempt making my own. =)

bc you dont hear anyone talking about it...

Me too

But its still sad when people say they don't like your food

Chloe Chun Agreed

Everybody has their own taste and can dislike food.

You probably have not been to the U.S before. Especially California and New York

lili I actually have been to the US before. Whatever you eat over there that is so call Asian, middle eastern and what not are all americanised. So yeah. Doesnt count.

Lala16ss False. K-town in California has such authentic Korean food that some people claim it's actually better than the food in Seoul, Korea. Being Korean and having visited both LA and Seoul I can vouch for that. The china town in the state I'm from also has some legit Hong Kong style dim-sum and I can also vouch for that because I've tried real dim sum in Hong Kong as well. It sounds like you just want to hate on Americans and generalize them.

Ladolcevita Yikes. Voicing my opinion based on what I see, isnt hatred. And I've seen how intolerant Americans are with other people's food, ie this video and much more, so I can pretty much say that I can also VOUCH for that. Kay have a nice day. 

Yeah you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to call you out on it. Basically you're saying "I saw a few americans on a buzzfeed video react this way, therefore ALL Americans must be like this" You're basically saying some real ignorant things and trying to pass it off as fact so don't be mad when I call you out on your bullshit *shrug*.

LMAO!!!!!

hey ohhhh!!!!

People who say they know a lot about North Korea online wouldn't know that Marijuana is totally legal in North Korea.

Lol im dying

dokkiro Yea, the people at Vice did a documentary IN North Korea, yea they dont have much there.

ohmygod they are sooo good!!! my mum and and grandma used to make them for me every week!! have you seen maangchi and her recipe for it??

+Ali B oh yes they are so good

+Ali B YES, every time I go to Korea, I eat at LEAST 1 every other day. Shit's so cheap, it's hard to resist!

+Ali B You can always make them. You can look up the recipe and its quite easy to make.

Andrew Huh Also, they're sold at H Marts and other Korean stores.

For real XD ㅋㅋㅋ

+TRUEMV ENT YASSS TAEMINNNNNNNNNN

Somebody understands!!Amen 😂😂

SAME!!

I thought of N from Vixx. He's obsessed with Banana Milk

Kyungsoo is most definitely the most amazing and squishy person evaarrrrr

Ikr!

gd_bangtan J-hope is so squishy with his squishy cheeks ^~^

pocky is japanese doe

pocky/pepero

I don't think Buzzfeed likes using those snacks that a lot of people are familiar with. I think they pick foods that the ideas of may seem bizarre to foreigners. or something... But most of these snacks are somewhat popular between Koreans, just different versions of it, like the fish sausage and banana milk. Ddeok is sort of traditional, but I'm not sure I would consider it a snack.

Nayu Kim I don't think a lot of people are familiar with popular korean snacks though

I agree. I'm korean and I ever since I was little I hated the fish sticks. Can't stand the smell and taste.I also agree ddeok isn't really a snack...

I was pleasantly surprised! Most people were pretty willing to just dive in and try things. But of course judgey was herself, just a little more muted than normal.

i don't like the judgey girl. :|

Akanksha Dwivedi As a person she's probably nice, I just don't like the way she acts about other cultures. I feel embarrassed when she's rude about other people's things.

Yeah, I feel you

Natasha Darling I feel the same way when they eat any Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Australian, etc. food they are so judgemental and I don't like most of them

+Yool Hamin My favorite sweet has been butchered by that guy.

Does anyone realise that this comment is meant to be funny or is it just me.

Hey, +Yool Hamin, Did you mean "I'm Korean and I find this offensive", you just wrote it backwards, LOL.

+LB Carl It's meant to be funny lol

+LB Carl knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-am-offensive-and-i-find-this

I think he said that because he thought there would be more of a milky flavor.

Thank you! One of the few comments that makes sense.

Really? I’m the opposite, if I try new foods in front of my family then I will say I don’t like it and pull a face if I really regret trying it but In front of other people I always say it’s interesting and never pull faces. Generally I love new foods. But that women in the video was a bit rude. By the way I’m from Hungary and I recommend rüdi. It’s the best :)

South*

Well i have never listened to j pop and my friends dont either

최은우 I didn't say everyone in south Korea listens to j-pop

then again. they both listen to their own jpop/kpop/whatever other genre that is not named by said you, dont forget 'murican music roflmao

most koreans probably can't even name a jpop artist or celebrity.

Ikr

Lol I love the original one

Maddy K Yeah, right?? Lol, they should have gotten the original. Banana flavoured anything is kinda gross...except for the marshmallows, those are my fave :P

Really? I thought banana would taste great.. coz we only have the original and melon flavored milkis here.

yeah, I like the original flavor the best

Same here. it's because Americans aren't used to something that doesn't have tons of salt nor sugar in it. It's fine, let them sit back and eat Cheetos, lol.

well maybe because they don't like what you eat??

Well I'm in Korea right now eating tons of snacks and drinks like drinking water jelly in a pouch

Katie kitty Foreigners react the same way to American food too. Different regions of the world have different taste buds, to you those items may be great to them not so much.

Katie kitty I am not Korean but totally agree with you. I think this series should be called "Americans Try Culture For the First Time."

well are you korean

I'm Mongolian

I'm Chinese woo go oriental cultures

Im korean :l

das cool, welcome to the asian club can I get you anything maybe a soda

That's mess up

why whats wrong with her? i have no problem with her being in these videos

What

she is such an spoiled bitch! ´SO conceited

The F are you saying ? Why ?!

That girl at 1:19 is so annoying

Everyone's taste buds are different.

+The Puppet Wolf AJ She's not completely the same as everyone else. And anyways, when did he/she say that?

+The Puppet Wolf AJ, same as every other three year old? Except she's 20 something.

+iMonikah, yeah, they are annoying too.

Yes I have. Compared to American food it's still not very greasy.

***** judging Korean food by its street food is no less accurate than judging American cuisine by McDonald's. A lot of Koreans are under the impression that we eat hamburgers every single day for every single meal.Other "traditional" foods in Korea can be greasy as well, for example, Japchae is made with tons and tons of sesame oil, and samgyeopsal is kind of the epitome of greasy. It all depends on what foods you are eating.

***** As I live in Korea and eat school lunches every single day, I'm aware of all that. I eat Samgyeopsal with my Korean coworkers far more than I would eat burgers back home. You say Koreans, don't eat Samgyeopsal all the time, well, that was the POINT. Americans don't eat burgers all the time either. My coworker recently invited me to her home to learn how to make Japchae and there is a lot of oil in it. Maybe your idea of "a lot" is different, but several tablespoons is a lot to me. Japchae might be celebratory in you family, but it doesn't seem to be where I live- it is served in the cafeteria fairly often. I'm not sure where you live currently, but fried chicken is WAY more popular in Korea than where I lived in the US (West coast). Fried chicken is everywhere here. Keeping in mind as well, the entire country of Korea is about the same size as the state of Indiana. Most people generalize the US, a huge country based on a VERY tiny amount of experience. If you go to the south or southeast parts of America there's going to be more fried foods. If you go to Oregon, you're more likely to eat vegan mushroom soup or salmon than fried chicken.

***** I agree completely. I just get a frustrated because my coworkers, students, and even doctor here in Korea ask about me eating hamburgers all the time, even though I'm very thin and healthy. No country's cuisine is automatically "healthy" or "unhealthy" or "greasy" - every country has a huge variety of healthy and unhealthy foods and every person then makes their own choices about what to eat.

GreysALIASAnatomy I don't think you understood my comment.....

Naruto Uzumaki Believe It!

there's a buzzfeedfood?!?!

***** Yep

I really like them! They have a unique texture and it's fun. Kind of chewy, but in a good way.

they are rlly good. Im korean and my grandma makes them all the time :D

Yes yes!! XD There are different types of 떡 though~

they're*

Random Balkan Guy We all understood what they meant.

Haha true

Not everyone has eaten every single thing in the Korean cuisine like you...

It's because most of Korea's popular snacks are variations of Japanese snacks. The only real popular Korean snack that's not a knock off is Choco Pie.

What popular snacks? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Katie Pham yeah but that's like if we gave some foreigners some off-brand snacks that not many people actually eat and had that be representative of American culture as a whole. It just would've been a lot better if they had tried some popular Korean snacks rather than random ones. Most of the popular Korean snacks are really not so strange and actually taste pretty good but I guess that would've made this video a lot more boring since people would rather watch them eat a bunch of weird random stuff

Just assholes trying to stereotype us Americans

I don't think that way. Americans or whomever, once they try it I found that most like it. But more Americans haven't tried them than ones that did. Just haven't encountered those eatery yet... :) And some people just may not be ready for different things that's all..

McDonald's is the sewer of fast food. Most fast food is shit in America (except Chick fil A and FIVE GUYS), but Micky D's is at the very bottom of the shithole.

Rip english

Exo is the best 💕💕

LOL my thoughts exactly.

I'm korean too and that guy when he called red beans peanut butter... that is just a no

Same! Although I haven't tried the fish sausage since I was in elementary or middle school so I don't remember how it tastes (just that I disliked it). Maybe it'll taste different now.

Lol where in my comment did I say EVERY SINGLE korean likes it? I simply just said I'm korean and I don't like the fish sausage. Learn to read.. Some people like it and some people don't and I'm one of those who don't. And compared to the other's reactions on that video, yea she did exaggerate it a bit.

...I find the last guy with the red hoodie rude too.. I never seen this kind of snacks in my country...it's quite unique tho..

K Pop Is Lifeu I knew that ther3 would be kpop fans on here omg

K Pop Is Lifeu yes girl yes (or boy idk)

Yall are so cringey

aydan ! thx

K Pop Is Lifeu yupppp

***** nasty. but my cousin showed me a different version that actually tastes good. im pretty sure its only available in korea

(koreanpride) 설 하늘 I thought I was the only Korean in the world who hated the fish cake sausage. Everyone seems to love them.

Shannon Kim my cousin showed me a fishcake (not really a fish cake it just says it) and its corn and cream (everything with weird stuff in food is good in korea XD) but it was amazing. only available in korea tho.. and nah, im pretty sure most koreans hate fishcakes especially in korea. SORRY FOR THE LONG COMMENT

I got one once that was like cheese flavored but still had fish. It was bad.

SAME. My brother loved these when we grew up as kids, but I absolutely hate them.

Me too!

they are soo good

Are you Korean? cuz your username is in korean

I am

kim jenna no sadly but i love korean food too ≧◡≦

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHA

0-o I thought youtube was banned in china?

Seriously?

Not in -cough Korea -cough-

Jeffrey Shao lol

yes I love all their "trying snacks" videos! Makes me want to try them.

***** If we're talking about the same guy, I think he's Korean from what I heard in another video. I could be wrong though

She gets on everyone's nerves. Seriously, I hate when she's in video's because she always comes off as so judgmental.

I hate it .. her reaction.. she reacts like that for almost all taste test vedios

Lauren Park she's like that in every foreign food taste testing videos 😒

Emily Beinke As if other people don't react badly towards American food. Stop thinking so highly about yourself.

@@Champagne002 well to be fair, american food tends to be too greasy or tasteless so

Bruh shut up

Haha

specify (unless its all shared)

Best Guy I don't need to. A lot of Caribbeans eat similar foods.

Tbh I think they do look like it . 😂

SAME. When I visited my family in Korea, my cousins and I would buy those and feed the stray cats in the neighborhood

in Asia fast food are more expensive than real food.

because BuzzFeed is an American (company? youtube channel? idk what they are) a business or group located in America is probably going to have mostly Americans in them

Because Buzzfeed is an American company. I think they have a UK office, but I doubt they are particularly international.

America has no food culture. Maybe thats why. And also problaby there in the US

Nah

HyperPotato they're* If you're going to insult us, use the right one.

You just said 'persons' instead of 'people'. And some people just don't have a taste for seafood. I sure don't have a taste for it, and I'm a cat goddess.

It may be grammatically correct, but who says that nowadays?

The Cat Goddess Lucas Tunelid for one.

I don't know how it is in america, but when you picture a squid you don't think about tasty (not for me though) snacks or dishes. You think about an animal that is strange and wild and shouldn't be eaten like sharks or kangaroos or mooses or platypuses.

The Gray Pet pretty much how it is in America. And yeah I totally hate seafood it's so gross

We have costco and other shops that exlusively sell imported goods. I can't deny the fact that american snacks are awesome mostly. Also as we are enjoying it we understand why obesity became a serious issue in america. But wow most snacks are just nailing it

*Blaming buzzfeed for only using Americans to taste another country's food*

the bias-ity in this comment section

+Chloe Price Agreed. I lived in Korea for two years and love their food but it does take getting used to. All the Koreans need to chill out because they are the only nationality that bring food with them on vacation.

+Chloe Price thank God max didn't kill you

+Chloe Price thank God max didn't kill you

+hlee0606 preach girl!!!! I'm with you all the way!!!

Seriously. I don't understand either. I'm half Korean and I know how weird some snacks can be for some of my other friends. Like shrimp flavored chips. I grew up with it, and I could understand how people who haven't had it before won't like it. And it wasn't like they made bad impressions on everything. I'm actually shocked and pleasantly surprised that they liked some of our snacks!

Thanks

+김수지 why?

I know I'm korean

me too

They at least gave it a try. Each country has different snacks. I saw a video on Korean trying American snacks it wasn't that pretty either.

Good thing you weren’t
