Brits go to Trader Joe's for the first time! 

They need to share the ratio of whatever it is. :X

Hahaha. I think if challenged or bored, Ollie and Grace can separate the components of a 3 in 1 coffee 😂😂😂

I was impressed.

I understand though I mean I pretty much live off that stuff I put it on everything

@@rollin340 they did. the video is there, if I recall correctly. they identified the ingredients and am pretty sure the ratios

😂

LMAO 😅

Am doing it now. Can comfirm.

They looked like genuine Americans in that shot 😂

They’re sober, which does change the ritual a bit.

They are old school English eccentrics, and that IS a compliment, trust me 😂😮😅😊❤, especially Ollie

Me too! I almost didn’t click on the thumbnail because I don’t care about Trader Joe’s, but then I was like, “Yeah, I’m in the mood to have their happiness rub off on me.” 😂

@@melindapayne6078 I ought to add that Josh and Ollie make me, a 70 yo Englishman Londoner, incredibly proud that they are continuing the reducing superpower we English possess, ie eccentricity 💕💕

And they have great metabolisms blessed men. If I eat a quarter of the food they do I gain 10lbs. Keep us smiling Jolly! 😊🍔🍕🥨🍣🍚🥡🍨🥗

It’s LA, just another influencer in the wild 😂

By the fact the worker was sweeping when they were checking out, it was probably almost, if not, closing. So not many people passing by in the parking lot.

Somebody beat me to it, but it's LA, what else is new.

Not just 2 guys, a camera crew as well.

with cameras!

They have a video on Bucess! They ate in the parking lot as well 😂 I love that theyre covering all these big stores in America bc I only hear about it in my country 😆

glad your doing better!!!

Hope you are well ❤

that was me the first time i went into a Boots in the UK. or when i found out you don't tip there. the things that people just accept as an every day thing and are normalized in their lives can be so interesting and novel to others.

They are in another country it’s always interesting exploring stores and foods of foreign countries.

Please tell them the story about the Italian pizza ovens ❤

My niece works there now and she says they pay double on Sundays to work, so the pay must still be pretty good.

I’ve been looking to get a new less stressful job, maybe i should try out Trader Joe’s

@@frogsnack7072it’s +$10 on Sunday and we are getting a $2 raise on April 22 which would put starting pay up to $18 an hour and a pay cap of up to $32 an hour

These lads love food!

Me too ❤

Agreed! His closing line was brilliant. 😆

They would be horrified by the tteokbokki sauce, I know I was.

Wrong definition. Speculoos is HEAVEN. 🥰

they make biscoff butter im almost certain you can find in the UK

@@laurag502 Who's they?

@@eliasshakkour2904 they as in biscoff cookies lol.

Trader Joe’s imports quite tasty speculoos from Belgium… along with butter almond thin rectangular cookies I like and some lovely shortbread ones I’ve bought the “real” version of in almost identical packaging (same goes for some cheeses I can get half price at TJs like Gruyère)… actually, all their imports are solid (though the Aussie sweets are wayyyyy too sugary!); the US made stuff is lackluster by comparison (oily, waxy, artificial like they didn’t use the right flavor compounds). They even import frozen japchae and plain, recipe-ready rice cake discs from Korea (the japchae needs extreme tweaking but when I need a meal in 5, I throw it in the microwave, toss some spices, a bit of soy sauce, sesame oil, and sometimes green onions or garlic chives or just pickled veggies and kimchi I -do- eat loads of in a bowl, and stir the noodles into what I’ve whipped together. Sometimes I add shrimp that were already cooked the day prior to it. Not amazing, but making my own is a bit tedious since I don’t eat much by way of starchy foods so a single serving makes more sense than having sacks of rice or glass noodles sitting around getting old when I work too many hours to do much cooking this time of year.

I’m OBSESSED with the mini gingerbread men. I look forward to them every year :)

I second, especially because I want them to try the frozen Korean food.

I wanna see them try the Korean foods at Trader Joes so bad!!!

​@@nataliereed295Better for them to go to H-Mart for a huge Korean supermarket in the US

It's sorta hard to cook that in a parking lot.

Agreed. Their frozen foods and what not are amazing!

😂😂

It sounds like your Trader Joe's is the size we had 40 years ago. Hopefully they will upsize you as well and soon. 😊

I am now living in South America. DO NOT COMPLAIN ! 😂

its LA. what were you expecting?

Trader Joe’s in LA is a whole culture!!! I loved it so much. I moved to Texas and we got Trader Joe’s here but it’s no where as popular as in California

Idk about the “extremely affordable” aspect but they definitely have some bomb food!

@@Pinkwike affordable compared to Whole Foods who I would consider their biggest rival, at least in my area.

@@Pinkwike Compared to other options... it is the affordable choice for foods that are still whole and organic.

Their fresh produce is often more affordable than other big brand grocers (at least in my area).

The pizza dough is great

Thanks! I was trying to read it, but I wasn't able to because they were moving the bag so fast. I also didn't think to pause the video. 😅

Akita prefecture - #1 in bear attacks (this year anyway). Today's completely random bear fact.

❤

Yeah and that’s the original as well, Lotus came up with Speculoos cookie butter

@@RookieAssassin yes, as a Belgian i can confirm : Speculoos spread (Biscoff) is the original spread and soooooooo good !

That makes up for Haggis in the UK (and jellied eel).

First time I ever had Cookie butter was in UK

Lotus Biscoff Spread is sold in america too, and it's the only type of cookie butter I've tried. Never had speculoos

Not really , it was kinda disrespectful to religious people

I wonder if they had to spend a good bit of time reaching out and planning this, because I was hella shocked they were allowed to film too

I've seen other reactors film in TJ's, but they are sure to never have any shopper or worker on film, just the food.

You think they have an oven with them? They are visiting the US, not living here.

u can always film what you mean lol

Check the number of subscribers. That's why!!

I could not have agreed more

Me too!

I'll be honest, I thought it was a membership type store, and didnt wanna join up lol. Going to Joes this weekend to fix this.

I've only been to one once and it's because they had just opened one an hour and a half from me. And that's in arkansas and is the only location there that didn't open until a couple years ago lol

Neither have I. The closest is about an hour and a half away in Philly. Will visit someday!

Aldi has those as well. Perfect size when you want a little ice cream snack.

😳

And it really does taste like that!

@@gravitytwo4088 Ohmigosh--now I have to go there!

Yep, lots of whipped cream does the trick!

I was thinking the same on the two buck chuck!

Josh's wife, Gabie Kook (also has a RU-vid channel) can eat like them and is tiny!! They must do some intense exercises or running.

I legit crack up every time Josh makes a comment about how Olly loves bland foods… lol - and Olly doesn’t even respond… 😂😂🤣

The Fig Olive Crackers with goat cheese and a glass of the latest Red version of "Two Buck Chuck" make a great late night snack.

I'm with Ollie though; I love water crackers!! I pick up a box every time I'm there.

They're good with cream cheese, too. It doesn't drown out the olivey figgy goodness.@@ronaldmorton6852

Yes!

It’s a good thing you only chose one TJ’s item to become addicted to. Come back again. There’s an entire store at your disposal, across multiple stores, across multiple days . . .

They seriously are so much better than Reese’s version and it’s because of the better quality chocolate used ,they also made chocolate oranges superior to Terry’s of York but sadly discontinued this Christmas for supplier reasons . This happens a lot at TJ’s ,you just get to love a product then suddenly it’s gone from shelves forever. 😭

I started eating dark chocolate from trying European chocolate and I like peanut butter. Those dark chocolate peanut butter cups sound delicious!

⁠​⁠​⁠@@flowersnycI bet! The variety and quality of items was amazing, I get the hype

Man those I don't know how anyone can eat Reeces with these quality TJ peanut butter cups around. One of the best items at trader joes

If that's the case, then why do I hear the piano from Il Vento d'Oro?

Is this a m***** f****** JoJo reference?

😂😂

IS THAT A JOJO'S REFERENCE?!?!?!?!

Trader Joe's is the best in THE WORLD.

Oh my how were you able to move to South Korea please. I would love to know.

@@Jackjackspice I teach English here.

@@dud9083 Thats really cool

I can see why!

never a truer statement was said

Ain't the lad's first rodeo!

You can film wherever you want in public.

​@@bethany8734Not always.

Not only are they good they’re the size of a steering wheel

My mom just got one of those Costco pumpkin pies gifted to her for Thanksgiving and my entire family tried it for the first time last month. And it was, as you said, one of the best pumpkin pies I have ever had! Personally, I prefer a purple sweet potato pie over a traditional pumpkin pie. But I realized part of that was because most of the pumpkin pies I had before just weren't all that good, especially if you buy them from the store. And I realized that pumpkin pies that actually put some effort into it and make that custard like filling...now those were a proper pumpkin pie! Plus there was this other, random pumpkin pie slice with this lovely crispy topping that was like a cross between an apple pie and a pumpkin pie--and I don't even like apple pies for the most part--but this? Delicious 🤤. All that is to say, that pumpkin pie is back on my holiday menu lol 😅.

They leave it a tiny bit under baked, so we always warm up for 15 minutes in a low oven. Amazing!

Funny thing in mention that… as I just had some Costco (in US) pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving - and yeah, it was the best pumpkin pie I’ve had in a long time.

in a taste test Costco's pumpkin pie was number one. Trader Joe's pumpkin pie was far down on the list.

Costco here in Australia sells the pumpkin pie too and it’s delicious.

Omg can attest that Costco’s pumpkin pie is elite!! The only pumpkin pie I want 🤤

I looked this up, Trader Joe’s was founded in CA and sold to Aldi later. I wouldn’t say Aldi entered under the Trader Joe’s name since it already existed

@@vin2164 That was back in the 70's when the original Trader Joe's was just a local discount grocer that bore little resemblance to Aldi Nord stores then and now. By design, the two Aldi's do not compete in the same markets - the primary exception being the US which sustains an astonishing number of if national, regional and local grocery chains. Both expanded simultaneously into the US using slightly different strategies - Aldi Sud branded itself Aldi and built its US presence from the ground up while Aldi Nord elected to acquire a small local retailer with a preexisting - albeit terribly small and highly localized - infrastructure to serve as its base in the US. In the process, they completely rebuilt it into something in line with their operations and philosophy, preserving only the name "Trader Joe's" to help distinguish the brand and avoid confusion with their estranged corporate sibling.

​ @vin2164 Interesting. I didn't know that and didn't see that info when I did my research. Makes sense that Aldi would acquire an existing business. All I knew before this is that Trader Joes was under an Aldi brand. Thanks for the update.

Aldi Nord in Germany also has a "Trader Joe's" store brand, but almost nothing available at the US Trader Joe's is available at Aldi Nord. I live in Aldi Süd territory right now but a few German Aldi Nord products I remember are nuts, craisins, peach iced tea, and jarred hot dogs.

@@genghispecan the founder of trader joe's stayed on as CEO for a long time after the acquisition (until 1987), so they preserved more than just the name. Not sure where you're getting the info that they completely rebuilt it.

Yes! 🙌🏻 Those are one of my favorite things from TJ’s too!

If you dont mind me asking, why not just eat whipped cream? Or does it like.. perfectly compliment the whipped cream? Ive never been a fan of pumpkin pie so i was curious! Cheers ^^

@@AsuraTheBass lol! Good question. And yes, you are correct. It gives a little twist to the whipped cream to balance the flavors.

Yup, it's either going to be vomit or snot.

You expect them to have an oven in their rental car? STFU

my partner stocks up on their fall burritos with sweet potato and cranberry in them. he literally walked in from work the other day sad because they had stopped selling them for the season lolol
