German, Slovak and Czech candy taste test. 

I was watching this video with a huge smile on my face during the entire duration, I'm not sure why. I'm happy you liked the sweets I sent you. Obviously, I couldn't include everything (like Študentská Pečať chocolate, or Kofola drink) as I had to keep the weight under two kilograms, so it would still classify as a letter. I ended up at about 1970 grams...

"This is a piece of foam" :) anyone else finds this really comical?

I never had the desire to be RU-vid famous until watching this; the possibility that strangers would send me exotic candies never occurred to me before.

Next week Bigclive disassembles a blood sugar monitor!

What makes a grown up man watch an other grown up man eat candy at 2 o'clock in the night? Big Clive does. Thanks for a taste full upload.

Disheartening to see how many of these brands have already been bought up by Nestlé.

do not eat lightbulb, it is NOT a delicacy things are not that bad in slovakia

"This is a piece of foam" The way it was said, the context of the video, I burst out laughing until I could barely breath.

thumbs up for "If I was a politician, It would be violent" me too man me too

"lets poke this with a screwdriver" had me off the chair with laughter!

Good grief Clive - Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in 1992! i regret to inform you that the Soviet Union has fallen, Yugoslavia is long gone, and there's now a North and a South Sudan.

The salt in salty licorice is ammonium chloride. The dusting on the candies is usually some mix of sugar, ammonium chloride, and possibly citric acid for sourness, depending on the brand.

Tak takový balík sladkostí fakt potěší :-D

"this is a piece of foam" 😂

I wish to say - You're one of my favorite channels to watch for two reasons. First, you're informative and relevant to my interests. I've learned things watching these videos. Also humorous (the zappy camping lamps being my favorites so far). Second, you're relaxing. I have to get up to go to work early at 5 AM tomorrow, and it's currently 10:34 PM, and I can think of nothing better to do than to watch some long Clive videos while sitting in my big poofy armchair and nodding off to sleep. I suspect when I wake up autoplay will be paused on something loosely tied to electronics and my TV will have correctly surmised that I have passed out and turned itself off. It's the intonation of your voice and the way you're never sort of spiking the volume of your words that makes these relaxing to watch. Hard to describe. Keep doing your thing.

Awe I was hoping Ralfy would be in this tasting video too. Him and Clive are so funny together.

12:47 -- Kaštany - dark chocolate bar with praline cream filling (Kaštany = chestnuts) 13:19 -- Marina - shortbread biscuits / cookies flavored with anise & fennel 13:44 -- Venceky - sugar biscuits / cookies, ring-shaped, traditionally served at Christmas 14:14 -- Deli cokolada - whipped chocolate filling coated with caramel and then chocolate 14:40 -- Figaro Rumba - chocolate bar with rum flavoured filling 16:06 -- Sojove rezy (Soy roll) - soybean-paste rolls (Ingredients: soya flour, sugar, milk powder, fat, syrup) 16:41 -- Koflla - creamy coffee filling in milk chocolate 17:29 -- Vesna - wafers with a vanilla or lemon flavoured filling 17:42 -- Horalky - wafers with peanut filling and cocoa coating 18:13 -- Mila - wafers with vanilla cream filling and chocolate coating 18:36 -- Kavenky - wafers with cappuccino cream filling 19:00 -- Margot - chocolate soybean-paste bar with coconut flavour, coated with dark cocoa 19:17 -- Deli - hazelnut filling coated with caramel and then chocolate (oříšková = hazelnut) 20:18 -- Milena - chocolate bar with praline cream filling 20:47 -- Dreh und Trink (Twist and Drink) - Waldbeere (forest berries) [from Austria] 21:44 -- Snehulky (Snowman) - soft menthol caramels 22:03 -- Hašlerky - coughdrops flavoured with menthol, anise, and other plant oils (lemon balm & ribwort); contains activated charcoal 23:01 -- Slavia - cocoa filling and peppermint flavoured coating 23:57 -- Bon Pari - fruit-flavoured hard candies 24:36 -- Salzige Seesterne (Salty starfish) - salt-coated licorice 25:24 -- Chili Gitarren - jellied candy flavoured with red-hot chili (Most of Bärenland's products are for small kids and therefore are milder.)

You've got me in stitches here. Chili Gitarren reaction was a treat. Well done! 😂

Clive you are demonstrating your versatility as a showman, excellent review, maybe something you would do quarterly. Good job taking one for the team with the flaming guitar sweets! Luv your channel!

Your reactions are just great! I was laughing out loud the whole way through...very enjoyable. :)

Really enjoying your Chili Gitarren reaction here :)

I have some Slovak friends who sometimes have "their own" sweets, they are usually pretty awesome tasting too. The unheard-of sweets that you can get in Lidl and Aldi, usually with foreign writing on the packets, is usually better than most of the standard UK stuff you can buy too...

I never thought I'd have my mouth watering over a Big Clive video. Good job.

I bought a couple of those (expensive) early Philips LED's when they first came out, and they are still working. And you can't go wrong with chocolate! I've found that the older I get, the more dark and bitter I like my chocolate. Same for coffee.

I actually can't say any of the candies you ate had cocoa bean pictures on them, they all look like coffee beans. Am I just not used to seeing cocoa beans split open, and always seeing coffee beans in half?

I'm getting a nice ASMR vibe from the wrappers. Love your channel! :)

He sent you two of each of many of those, that's a PERFECT opportunity for a Ralphy cross-over episode again :)

One of the best videos as it really shows the viewer cares. Also clive goes into the products very dilligently which shows respect to the gift giver and viewer.

As a Czech I'd like to fill some blanks. Good selection of sweets, the only missing thought l thing coming to mind is the traditional gingerbread with jam and chocolate. The "sójové řezy" thing that puzzled you so much is "soy slices" and is one of the cheapest things you can get. Very good and satiating. And is the same thing that's inside the "Margot" bar. Eating one of these is as good as a decent meal so it's always good to have one around. Pro tip regarding the "ledové kaštany" put them into a fridge overnight, that will explain the name "iced chestnuts." Very hard and very dark. Now the paste inside "kofila" is chocolate with coffee. The Arabian-looking fellow enjoying a cup of coffee and the coffee bean is a clue. The "Hašlerky" is a sweet with over a dozen herbs in it but what is really interesting (aside the flavour) is the manufacturing process. They mix the substance very thick and pull it into a rod about half-inch in diameter, and punch it into the desired shape in much like steel is treated in factories. "Mila" is popular for its mellow texture and won the "unhealthiest product" competition several times over the years. Still people favour it, nonetheless. And for a good reason. What else.. if you got the impression that there's coconut in just about everything, then you're right. Despite being a country with no sea or tropical flora we sure love our coconut.

There goes Clive's diet for 2018.

Big Ashens

16:20 sójové řezy means soy cuts and i love them so much😍

Absolutely amazing, watching Clive biting into salty chili and then dousing the fire with children drink while talking about LED lamp phosphor. Amazing!

So what flavour was the piece of foam?

I am so jealous, what a fantastic present.

Yess, Czech and Slovak products :-)

Big Clive is gonna be even bigger!

Your blissful attitude keeps me happy, man

I literally spend hundreds of euros on those candy every year. For me, the taste is just unique and we're all used to it. I rather like the Sedita wafers and Figaro chocolate. Figaro was founded in the early 20th century in my hometown, Trnava, Slovakia. They still produce lollipops and candies I believe. Sadly, they were acquired by Mondelēz 5 years ago. You can get every single one of those products in almost literally every grocery store and gas pump in the country.

Very chocolatey with a hint of flux. I love your videos, Clive.

You can get Margot, Vesna, Mila and Milena in some poundland stores (they often print a label with the English ingredients on the outside).. damn I wish someone would send me chocolate.

Let's call it, "Clive, on the start of the road to type 2 Diabetes." 😄

Thanks for the sweet video bigclivedaddy.

Hi bigclivedotcom, most of these sweets you can buy in polish food shops across UK (unfortunately there are not many Slovakian/Czech shops in UK).

In re pronunciation: "j" in most European languages other than French and Spanish has the value of English "y" "č" = English "ch" as in "church" "š" = English "sh" "ř" = a sound not found outside the old Czech republic

Love the reaction to the chili guitar, it was fantastic.

Absolutely do not care about the nom-nom complaints. What are they, three to the hundreds? Keep up the juicy work, your channel is greatly entertaining!

Clive's 24 hour long range patrol MRE. Approx 55,000 densely packed calories. Let's get this out on a bench, NICE!!!

I could not stop laughing when you ate the spicy candy! My stomach hurts! I live in Arizona... the land of spicy food and your experience completely cracks me up!

That's one of the things I love to do while on vacation. Trying new sweets in countries I haven't been before.

After all that candy it will be biggerclivedotcom.

Bad Clive! You know that you should always test with a multimeter before you stick your screwdriver in! 😉

Interesting stuff. Never seen any of it here in the US. It's amazing how tastes differ worldwide, but in the US we have followings for most 'extreme' flavors, tart (citric acid based) and hot of course. but the salt and anise not so much. One that I had a few years ago and was impressed with was a pressed sesame bar of asian (I think Korean?) origin, and it was quite good. Nice overview, you do interesting and informative videos on anything you cross paths with - good show! Also thanks to Ian and Attilla for showing the viewers your part of the world in candy.

I really enjoy your elaborate use of the English language. It's a feast for the ear.

The menthol sweet looks very similar to sweets in Australia called minities. They are kind of like a mint flavoured toffee so I bet they would be great to try.

It's time for everybody's favorite segment mailb......oh wait iiiits postba........oh wait It's um.......posttime?

I just spent 27 minutes watching you eat candy... and I loved it...

The best ones are Margot - coconut taste (the best i think) , Horalky and Kavenky - these are usually the very good with tea or coffee , sojove rezy is very old sweet many ppl like it - I like it as well and i think better that Deli or such sweets

I would guess you like the Kastany the best since you ate it twice lol. Great video, now I want to eat candy

Your pronunciation is realy great. Btw I realy love Kaštany. :-)

Watching you unboxing seemed to go on for a long time. I take it that the box is bigger on the inside. Seen the teardown what about a schematic on your ClivePad

How can LEDs damage the phosphor when normal fluorescent lamps generate UV-C and UV-B in addition to strong UV-A light, which the phosphor converts into healthier wavelengths?

Everytime i'm on a strict "no choco" policy, i return here to suffer.

Slightly past half way into this and I had a sudden urge to make coffee, with toast plus Nutella on the side, lol.

Polarbear looks like vick's blue. It's very nice of that person to sent you all that candy.

Put some current thru them and see if they explode, or see if they can power a clock like a potato does

"I'm probably gonna find a mousetrap at the bottom of this..." i laughed _way_ too hard, perfect delivery

I forgot about Haslerky - as you said with herbs..this is used when you are sore throat and BonPari - nice taste..Slavia are good one also ..but not so..

My mum brought be back a half-dozen Cherry-Ripes from Oz last month, the best choccy bar I've ever tried.

Best ASMR video ever

The next Clive fan club meeting should be an exotic candy tasting event.

Maybe you have heard of the BREX? Where those lamps used on Star Trek? Globes are a round map of Earth. Bulbs grow in the ground.

Sojové řezy is actually made from soya, with sugar and rum falvouring, and margot is a very similar thing

Clive, do you have a link for that UV laser that you used on the old lamp?

hmm "Candy" have you totally embraced the transatlantic culture. Looks more like like "sweets" to me! Or what they call "spice" in South Yorkshire ;.) I never heard a Scot refer to Soor Plooms , Tablet or anying in your video as Candy.before Have you been watching too much US TV, films (bet you call them movies?) or You Tube?

Clive, is the Deli bar maybe like a Mars bar? Not sure if they have those in the UK, but that's what it looks similar to in my American eyes.

I hope you had a strong dose of protein to stave off all that sugar, Thanks for your review on the candies and hope your weather is better than ours here in the Pacific North Western US. (Seattle, Wa to be exact)

yes. Taste test video for sure

Very nice, very nice. To see a celebrity sweets test and also to get a different perspective on something we here in Slovakia and Czech Republic take for granted on the shop shelves. Sadly the majority of the traditional Czech sweets have been fully colonized by global corporations and the recipes have been changed - "optimized" - or rather cheapened somewhat. Nestle and Mondelez now own the traditional brands like Orion, Figaro and Sfinx and all the bars like Koko, Margot, Kofila, Kastany, Deli. One of the few truly local brands in this selection is Sedita from Slovakia - all the wafers like Mila, Kavenky and Horalky and also Snehulky and the circular cookies. Also Marina biscuits are locally owned and made in Slovakia. Also this reminds me of TatraTea - herbal liquor from Slovakia, perhaps you have heard of it. Those German black salty chilli things at the end were hilarious, I have to try them sometime :D

There are a huge variety of 'Fisherman's Friend' lozenges that, despite being made in the UK, are never sold here. But they're available in other countries, especially eastern european : special flavours for every national taste. Maybe some non-uk subscribers could send Clive some for a taste test ?

i thoroughly enjoy the sound of mastication

I'm from the US (which set the gold standard for international apathy), and even I knew that Czechoslovakia was dissolved in the 1990s. Given your recent sweets binge, I hereby award you the title of Honorary American, Clive. (Apologies for dropping the "u" from "Honourary".)

The making of hard candies is rather simple as they pass the still soft candy when it is hot between 2 wheels that shape it. As the candy cools it hardens into the form we know. For simple candy they can just feed it in as a snake to get it sized right but more complex requires sheets of the candy blanks like the ones that have something inside them. Candy the world over is made the same ways with just the flavors changing to match the local tastes.

Those Phillips bulbs were crazy expensive back in the day

Think that nutty nougat bar is sort of like a UK Topic bar?

25:50 was a great reaction!

i would send you our POTICA but i don't know what will happen to it during shipping because you have to eat it in a few days...

Amusingly you taste tested the 'Kastany' one twice a few minutes apart, maybe it's just me that noticed that though :P

Salty licorice with chili ugh. I don't even want to imagine what that tastes like. But whatever floats your boat i guess.

Big Clive, you should definitely try Moravian or Slovak wine and brandy. Especially the home distilled spirits are fantastic, strong but if produced properly you have no hungover on next day after drinking sprit with 52% abv or more. It usually looks like vodka, clear but aromatic after fruit (plums, grapes or gin like "borovička" made of juniper berries).

I made it to 14:51 and then my stomach started to hurt just looking at all that candy -- and imagining sampling a bite from all of it.

I wonder if Attila is the AttilaSVK who plays popular music on his REVOX B790 on his RU-vid channel which I love listening to but haven't subscribed yet.

I'd happily listen to you masticate all day, Clive. I'd have gladly watched you open each one to try it as well, rather than cut away. I wouldn't care if the video was two hours. I'm insane. I love you.

A friend sent me a load of different Salty licorice sweets from Finland and I was surprised that I really REALLY like them. Everyone I shared them with had a similar reaction to yours. I'm honestly starting to think I'm chemically addicted to these things. The first time I had them I thought they were a bit unpleasant, but I kept coming back for more.

Remote phosphor lamps are pretty inefficient compared to directly applied.

I was surprised that there wasn't a box of Rennies tucked away in that box! 😂😂😂

19:40 , it's "Topic" you're thinking of. In German, "Waldbeere" would, literally, mean "forest berry" but Google tells me it's just "wild berry" in general.

Hy plz sir share a video how we make led cube and how we control with arduino circuit.and also give a code

I assumed he sent you two of the Czech sweets for a chew off with Ralphy? That said you tackled the task manfully on your own. I would try any, except the liquorice, salty and chilli ones. Your reaction to the chilli sweets was classic, made me shudder

I'd love to hear your brother describe some of these candies after listening to him eat that Russian MRE type meal.
