The curious candy flavors of other countries 

I think JJ himself is a fruit

lmao

@@hillaryclintondidnothingwrong you stole my joke. Damn you.

That is beautiful

In my country we have candy flavored like the friends we made along the way!

I have no idea what blackcurrant tastes like, but I'd imagine I'd like it more than grape

Skittles aren't American?

@@howdoipickaname9815 my favorite Old Spice flavor has Blackcurrant

I can't find the info about it as a fruit, only as a sauce, what do you mean?

@@gamermapper the guy in the vid said so, but I also looked it up later and couldn't find anything about it, although I did found that it originally was a kind of berry in Japan or something like that

@@alamfernandoayilestrella4667 yeah, JJ said it comes from sour plums in Asia (probably Japan), in Mexico it's made from dried apricots and tamarind, if memory serves me correctly.

So interesting, here in the Philippines we have kiamoy! From what I've seen on google, it's basically chamoy but without the spice

this made me crave jicama with chamoy

In Hawaii fruit punch, red, is a pretty common soft drink, beside carbonated ones, "Tahitian Treat", made by one of the Big Soda companies.

Sweden is the reverse! Modern candies are sweet, but old-fashioned liquorice is salty or has this chemical on it that is kind of sour (dont know what the english word is) but you're seen as old-fashioned if you like them

@@sophroniel i wanna say citric acid

@@sophroniel Ammonium chloride?

meringue is mexican?? i thought it was french?

@@nurailidepaepe2783 Same name different sweet, loosely based on the french stuff

It’s honestly fairly common in America, which may be why it was hardly mentioned.

Plus in the US, we have Blue Raspberry to set raspberries apart from other red fruit

In Finland, a widely popular candy flavour is tar. As in actual tar, the burned-wood residue. It’s used in liquorice, sweets, and ice cream.

I would say in uk our big 5 would be Blackcurrant, Orange, Strawberry, Raspberry and Lime

Raspberry is one of my favorite flavors in candies and I associate it most with these little tins of candies we’d get around Christmas. I think they were French “pastilles” and looked like the fruits they were flavored by.

I wonder what your friends would have thought of the bag of Finnish chili-salmiac candy I've got here on my desk... It's spicy *and* intensely salty. :P

This made me laugh out loud

I'm surprised that any French speaking person would use the word ain't 🤔

I love Milkis! I'd describe it as a tangy yogurt or sour ice cream

I live near a Southeast Asian American community in Chicago. I have eaten a lot of melon and tea flavored hard candies over the years.

in the philippines mango, green mango, tamarind, and lime are popular but also milk and ube with cheese

Its the same in Japan, with melon, milk, peach, strawberry, grape, green tea and red bean flavoured candy year round and the brands would rotate out seasonal/time limited flavours but I think its less of a chinese influence for them and more of a regional influence and familiarity as Japan's agricultural products are based primarily on melon, milk, peach, strawberry and grape. Certain regions in Japan would also sell special candy like banana floured pocky and you could also get sakura flavoured ice cream and sweets in late winter and early spring as well as lavender in the summer

Well put. For similar reasons is why you rarely see a distinction of lime in India as well.

Like in Colombia, we generally don't use the word lime, it's always lemon

An excellent point, most of the citrus we think of as common now are hybrids that came from a fairly limited amount of cultivars, like citron and pomelo

It sounds tasty to me. I think of it as the white on Kinder eggs, or the creme in Oreos

Along with milk, yogurt flavor is a thing. I dont have any idea what that means. Milky with a bit of tang?

Well, in countries where majority of people are lactose intolerant the flavour ends up being a novelty.

i never knew that fanta being in local flavours was a trend??? wh

But in North America it's used much more as a base than a 'flavour' - so the Pocky stick might be cream flavoured but the chocolate dip is what is seen as the 'flavour'.

Sounds awesome. I can find it as a dried powder. Maybe i'll make some milk shakes!

Chilean here. Lúcuma ice cream is so good. And yes, the flavor description is accurate, for those who are curious. Another fruit from here in Chile, and there in Perú is Chirimoya. Which is a juicy and a bit sweet fruit, from what I can remember. (I ate a Chirimoya once with my father) In Ice cream, there's the Chirimoya Alegre (translated as "Jolly Chirimoya") which have two flavors, chirimoya and orange. It's one of my favorite ice cream flavors. The combination of those flavors is so good. An example. Fruna, the beloved (yet controversial in the work aspect) Chilean candy producer, has a Chirimoya Alegre ice cream, and is a orange popsicle with chirimoya cream on the inside. It's pretty good, in my opinion.

Other things related flavors in Chile: in the 80s, for some reason "Cola" (Coca-cola flavor) flavor become very popular, thanks to a candy called Media Hora (Half Hour) who suddenly others tried to mimic, even doing a instant drink (in podwer) with a flavor of it. The craze down very soon. Yes, Lúcuma and Chirimoya are some of the most delicious options for ice cream, but other candy who is very popular in Chile, Argentina and Perú is Manjar/Dulce de Leche/Cajeta, who is made in slowly heated milk with sugar. Is very used for cakes and sweets, chocolate, ice creams and candies. Is everywhere. Personally, i have a faborite flavor who now is difficult to found: Violet, the flower i mean. Was my faborite candy in my childhood, but the brand dissapered and the only place where make the candies now is very far away where i live (are homemade...) looks like who these are a kinda popular candy in France, and now im thinking who goes with rose and lavander candies in origin. (i love perfume-like candy)

I think I've had it in Italy at some local gelato place called "La Pecora Nera" and NGL it was good for a nut flavour

@Me it wasn't just nut,

I think you mostly see yellow peaches in southern US food and white peaches in Asian foods. I'm not sure what the difference is in taste honestly.

@@elainea7734 I wonder if that's why blueberry pancakes are so popular in North America.

I would say it's more common to simply see peaches used in things rather than peach flavor. Peach cobblers for example are a near constant around me, but the only time I think I've seen a "peach flavor" was as a Fanta option in a Coke Freestyle machine. (Which was pretty good for the record)

You are very kind my friend

@@someoneontheinternet9462 I don't think you understand what the word hypocrite means and should definitely search it up.

Which do you like best?

@@JJMcCullough well you can’t really eat a mango when its super green well i mean you could but the experience isn’t the best. The skin is really tough then and it usually tastes awful. And the “fleshy part of the mango is a lot harder and less juicy. Most people, or at least my family, usually cuts of the green mango to avoid the skin and then put it other things. I guess for candies it is a but different but most people just kinda, wait for it to be properly ripe? Like avocados

@@sohopedeco in south india we use raw mangoes for different curries like mamidikaya pulusu and for dishes like mango rice and we use raw mangoes for making different types of pickle which can be stored and eaten for long time with rice.

In Cambodia unripe mango is eaten with a mix of ground chillies and salt. It's is quite the mix of sour, salty and hot all at the same time.

@@JJMcCullough I suppose it depends on the mood, but you can be creative. In venezuela, for example, a common street food is green mango slices mixed with chicken broth concentrate

Licorice?

Salmiak Salted Licorice I presume? I can't get enough of the stuff, would love to visit Sweden some time

Licorice is also a major part of candy culture in the Netherlands. Both salty and sweet licorice, and salmiak. I'd say half of the candy section in a supermarket is devoted to licorice.

@@BobWitlox The licorice in the Netherlands is bland and sweet compared to the real salty licorice and salmiak in Sweden and Finland. Even the Danish licorice is to sweet and bland for Swedes and Finns. And don’t get me started on sugar and popcorn, so weird.

I guess you've never tasted double-salty Dutch licorice

Licorice has always been super popular in the UK too. They still are today.

My Danish friend has liquorice toothpaste

I believe it is banned in children’s food. Adult foods (like beer) still have it in low level.

I completely forgot about that green götter speise stuff, I used to love that as a child on holiday in Germany.

@@cannedeals it's the same in the US, if you look at where it says banned, it says its permitted for alcoholic beverages only

It does actually taste quite similar but you need fairly small amounts of the herb to get that distinct flavour, large amounts just give you a generic grassy flavour.

We're i'm from it's tradition to make "maibowle" in spring, which is white wine infused with waldmeister and then filled up with champagne and it tastes pretty similar to the artificial flavor

As a New Zealander, we don't have that here. 😆 I've never ever heard of it, and I've been a lot of different places in NZ. It sounds rather bad, no offense. I like the cinnamon pink candy tho.

Musk flavour can't be too difficult because even the supermarket brands sell it, along with a few others. The first time I heard that Musk was Australian only was on one of those lists of "disgusting foods from around the world". Australia's entries were Vegemite (of course), witchetty grubs (which is really just "bush tucker" and not commercialised at all) and musk sticks.

I'm here imagining it's a variant of the artificial tasting "bubblegum" flavor we have in the US. (Don't know if it's a thing elsewhere)

@@squkyshoes Musk is distinct from bubblegum. I would generally describe the flavour of bubblegum as "blue" while musk is "pink", though I know that doesn't make any sense outside my own culture!

Yeah, kind of miss it having moved to the UK. But as for floral flavour, you could compare it to parma violets I suppose.

Spain?? Also many of the same fruits being grown in both places

Tamales also similiar with nasi bungkus/bakar

Chilis are indigenous to the Americas

As a mexican that hates spicy flavours I can share the opinion that putting chili on everything is insane. And I mean they put chili in EVERYTHING

@@erwinneopiano I try to sustain my chili addiction but sometimes I find myself putting Valentina on pretty much most meals I eat. my GF however takes it to another level, during breakfast she’ll eat her sausage, bacon, hash brown, and eggs with Cholula

@@LeJunny I flavor my water with chamoy and chili 😩😩

I fucking love all the chili/mango candies

@@erwinneopiano I’m not a huge fan of spicy or sour foods, but more than anything I find it bizarre that they completely eclipse sweet and salty foods here in Mexico. The idea of eating mango, potato chips, tacos, etc., without adding chili or lime (or more often both) is incomprehensible to some people. People end up with cracked tongues and gastritis from the sheer amount of irritating spice and acid they consume. I feel like an alien for liking buttered popcorn and “plain” watermelon.

i understand brazil having similarities, because portugal invaded india back in the day, so some of the culture transferred. but spain never colonized india, so the hispanic countries must've had some type of transfer in culture through their closeness with portugal and brazil

@@Ray_Vun Or it could Spain and Portugal themselves being close and that just being inherited by colonies

@@EnigmaticLucas that's literally what i said. the closeness of the hispanic countries with portugal and brazil caused the cultural transfer

Lol I’m Indian and can’t live without beef. Though I live in America so that helps.

Mexican food is the polar opposite of many Chinese foods. Stuff that is cooked in one country is served raw in the other.

Pasta and Pizza ❤️

@@marcello7781 And Potatoes and Rice, and….

@@sohopedeco Bread, specifically, would be am interesting one to dive into.

@@tetuben2879 many nations I guess. We belarusians are often stereotyped as potato eaters among other post soviet countries

For me they are complete different. I like anise, don’t like star anise.

and it absolutely does not taste like cinnamon as he said

This kind of makes me think of spearmint, but not "minty", if that makes any sense? Is that on the right track?

Yes it's like mint but better suited for candy and fizzy drinks.

green flavor!

@@vaiyt *Y E S, THE OBJECTIVELY BEST FLAVOR*

On a hunch I did some googling, and you might have some across the flavour as Pink Smokers. They get described as having an "aniseed and clove flavour", but honestly I encountered the little medicinal looking things before the actual spices.

Soda as well!

we call those Cough Drops in America

Camphor!! That is used in australia in moth balls to repel moths! I think I had also seen it once in a cold sore ointment so the pharmaceutical origin does make sense to me.

Yes this would be a great JJ topic to cover cuz I have little experience but there's tons out there. My dad was or is into those nasty little drops 🤣🤣 I can't handle them 🤢

@@wotchermuch I live in the Caribbean and same here

Croque Monsieurs for us french people :)

@theLundLs Isn't Döner something far more turkish than german ?? In France we have kebab places everywhere and we say "eating a turk' " to say having a döner kebab

@theLundLs Maybe not when invented, but now it's widespread in multiple countries, including Turkey ! They also use a type of flatbread (Naan/Bazlama) and use kebab meat along multiple toppings and sauce. It's everywhere in turkey now, so i'm mitigated as it's not only a german thing and isn't really part of German heritage, but it was invented and popularized in germany so .. i don't know

In Argentina we have "milanesa" which is kinda like shnitzel. You have them freezed, and just put them on the oven and you have lunch. Also "empanadas" have a similar function

onigiri in Japan, and spring rolls in Thailand/Vietnam? And buns in general i think, some have a good range of things stuffed in

In my experience butter mints are usally at weddings in the US(Midwest). Homemade ones are usally shaped as leaves or roses and they tend to have a sugary outside coating with a soft inside. Otherwise there are pre-made butter mints that are used. I'm not sure how the tradition started however.

Yeah, I was also REALLY confused about the Lemon VS Lime thing. Are Yellow Lemons actually called Limes in Mexico though? I could’ve sworn I’ve seen the Green Lemon flavor be called “Lima Limón,” but I guess that could have been both flavors mixed.

@@jerryborjon Nope, Yellow Lemons are called like that Limon Amarillo, Limon Real or Limon americano are close to what americans call a lemon, while the fruit we call Lime is not even available in the US, and is kind of a bitter Lemon

That's interesting. In Brazil we also refer to lime as "limão" but we only use the word "lima" to refer to a variety of sweet oranges which we call "laranja-lima".

@@ratgr - You know what? I never realized that there were multiple types of Limes. Apparently the small limes are called “Key Limes.” I always thought they were just smaller limes of the same species. This is way more confusing than I thought, and I already knew it was confusing.

I think that's confusing to us as well, in Argentina the yellow ones are lemon, the green one lime, and we don't really use lime in anything besides some drinks

We have a fair amount of spicy sweets (candy) in the UK too. I suppose because we all grow up eating a lot more spice than the average American does. It's a daily part of our diet. So I remember as a kid always finding sweets in shops where the spiceness was the main advertising schtick it had. Like the logo would have a cartoon character with a mushroom cloud coming out of his head. That sort of thing. We'd dare each other to try to eat it. I seem to remember Atomic Fireballs/Fireblast being the most popular ones when I was growing up in the 90s And these days you can buy spicy skittles in the UK. Yeah, really. I don't think they're very nice to be honest. I prefer the sour skittles. I associate spiciness with dinner dishes. Like curries. Even though curries, even British ones like tikka masala, are very very sweet anyway, they're still a "savoury" dish in my mind. I wouldn't wanna eat spicy sweets. But yeah, I have found and bought spicy skittles in the UK. It's very weird to me, lol.

@@duffman18 Actually cinnamon and ginger candy is quite common in America with a boatload of nameless hard candies, fireballs, and hot tamales (they're like mike 'n ikes but spicy (if you don't know mike 'n ikes they're kinda like jelly beans))

Yeah can confirm when it comes to Finns liking that variety of liquorice. We even have basically vodka that's flavored with salmiak

@@duffman18 Oh yes, atomic fireballs were some of my absolute favorites in the 90s here in the US as well! We had a lot of the quote/unquote spicy flavors then and still do, based on cinnamon or ginger flavors almost exclusively though, with the exception of the contents of the international aisle. I'm particularly fond of ripping hot ginger stuff myself still! We've got a pretty good panoply of soft drinks that fall into the ginger beer category - not ginger ales, which I would argue don't taste of ginger at all! But some ginger beers here (Q, Cock n Bull, Fever Tree) that can leave your lips good and numb with their tasty, sweet, cold, sparkling fire! But you're right, I think spicy might be a lot more ubiquitous than described in this vid, although Mexican spicy is a wholly different experience since those are mainly derived from chiles. As someone who loves spice, but is allergic to capsaicin, I gotta get my kicks from ginger. 😝🔥

I only remember banana laffy taffy with that flavor

Another banana stand out was banana runts. I may be wrong, but I think the chemical in circus peanuts is very similar to the more distinctive fake banana flavor today. Sometimes I see banana flavored milk at the stores these days.. Lol. I assume Bubbaloo is similar to Bubbliscious in the US... But their grape gum is impossible to find these days and the best fake grape ever made! Lol

One of the 5 flavors of Wacky Wafers is banana. It was always my favorite.

Used to love grape and cherry Fun Dip candy. 70s US childhood

Banana’s still a pretty popular flavour in NZ, same with watermelon. Just in general.

I can't live without a bag of maple candies in my purse. Another flavor I think is rare elsewhere is the flavor of pink peppermints. I'm unable to find the translation in english, but the flavor is called "thé des bois" in french. It's mostly associated with pink candy.

I saw them as a kid in the States in the '70s-'80s, but have not found them lately, and have looked.

@@lightdreamer_ do you mean what we in the US call wintergreen?

@@tomfrazier1103 they’re all over the place in ny north country

One of the oldest candies as well. Native Americans made them by boiling maple sap past the syrup phase until it was tacky/solid, which is actually still how it's made.

The botanical vs culinary categories for most foods is insanely confusing. A chef would call an eggplant a vegetable and a raspberry a berry, but a botanist would say fruit and rose.

strawberries aren't berries, but bananas are. it makes your brain hurt thinking about it

Also tomatoes are fruits. but the various melons are veggies (gourds). Go figure.

botany is crazy isn't it?

@@kaiyodei Indeed, and domestication has a lot to do with that. We would recognize neither sight nor taste of most versions of these in the wild. There is a great read and images at Business Insider about that.

Mango or strawberry are the top

Mango and tamarind is top tier

@@spaceman7402 i agree mango and strawberry . . . I really love black currant but yeah America yay 😁 i can still make black currant ejuice

For me it somehow smells like carrots

@@sohopedeco I didn't see many fruit salad with apples in Brazil most people think they are bland, but Papaya and Mango are very common oranges too

in portugal i grew up eating fruit salads with apple, pear, banana, kiwi, maybe some pineapple

We put milk in our fruit salads

Fruit salads are moderately common in Turkey and the most common fruits are apples,oranges, bananas,strawberries,pears and honeydews.

Oh my god, it all makes sense now. Tutti frutties (they were called "tooty frooties" here though) are sweets and a flavour here in the UK. When I taste it, I would think "oh yeah tutti-frutti flavour". I never considered it to mean all fruits, I thought it was just a flavour or something.

Musk is nothing like tutti frutti, I've tried both

Tutti-frutti exists in the US (and yes, it's called the same thing), but it's not that common

I came here to say this. I was mind blown when I found out as a kid that tutti frutti wasnt as actual fruit.

Yeaaah, I dont know how musk tastes but sounds similar to "tutti frutti" flavored gum (which ironically doesnt taste really like any fruit)

Oh yes I have seen those in other countries too… it is weird isn’t it?

Squash... the vegetable?

@@freddiesimmons1394 Nah it's like super strong dilutable orange or blackcurrant juice usually. Pretty common down in Ireland. MiWadi is the only brand I've ever seen sell the stuff but it's a big thing over here all the same.

Very common in the UK too, a popular brand would be Robinsons

@@sohopedeco so it has sort of a tangy, racquetbally taste?

They have alot of that in OK too. I had some tamarind candy that was salty and spicy and it was like drinking orange juice when you thought you had milk.

I had the exact same experience growing up in DFW, kid me was enraged lmaooo

In Austria we also have forest berry yoghurt.

Здравей, най-после, да открия друг българин! Съгласен съм. По-рано написах коментар за вкусове в България, ще го paste-на тук, в случай, че искаш да добавиш нещо: " I am Bulgarian, but born and raised in England, so not the best person to ask for an extensive explanation on what the flavour canon here, but I can give it a shot... -The fruits are typically the same in sweets, I'd say lime is more popular in adult drinks, and is seen more like a lemon, but green, however it is gaining popularity. In soft (non-alcoholic) drinks, there are two flavours which beat all: peach and "вишна /vishna" (which is basically cherry, but sour). I find it ironic, as peach is a common juice flavour in Bulgaria (served commonly in glass bottles for kids at bars and restaurants, but also as a carton in shops), but I find it's extremely rare in England, where I've only seen Peach juice in foreign-stock shops. Vishna is basically cherry, but sour. We differentiate vishna as a different fruit from cherries, and I believe they are popular here, as they are found commonly (in fact I have a vishna tree outside my house, in Bulgaria). -A very popular flavour is "gorski plodove", basically the forest beriies/fruits from the video. -Another interesting fruit, which I don's see anywhere else is "dyula" (Google translates it as "quince,", whatever that word is). I don't think I've ever seen dyula as a sweet/candy flavour (not sure for juice flavours, though), but I wanted to share it. I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere else, but it's a common flavour for compots (a non-alcoholic drink made from and drunk with fruit), and it's really sweet and tasty. The fruit itself looks like a pear, but I'd say the flavour is more peach-y, but not really. -A unique flavour common in Bulgaria, primarily in Lokums (Turkish delight, but Bulgarian) is Rose flavour, which we are proud of, as Bulgaria is famous for their roses. -A weird flavour I've found is whipped creme flavour, but that was only once, in Lokums, and I've never seen it before, so just placing it here. That's pretty much it, most sweets/candy share the same flavour as that of America, I don't have much else to say, so bye. Also, once again, although I often visit Bulgaria, I was raised in England, so there might be a world of flavours I've missed, but I've covered what I know. "

yeah, in europe, if something is red it tends to either be strawberry or generic berry flavor. you can get it in candy, yoghurts, drinks, etc

Poland as well.

I think the popularity of tisanes in continental Europe, particularly Germany, might be an offshoot of this.

It is supposedly based on Rubus leucodermis (the black raspberry variant native west of the Rockies). However I have only eaten Rubus occidentalis (Eastern/Midwestern black raspberry) so "blue raspberry" tends to taste fake/chemical to me.

Yeah, I've never seen musk favoured anything

Same here. I hadn't even heard of musk candy before watching this.

I'm from Australia and grew up with musk sticks, but haven't seen them lately. I also miss Fruit Tingles!

Both kiwi birds and kiwifruits? Man, your country really likes everything with the word kiwi

Have you seriously never had musk sticks? I am Australian and in my fifties.

"In Australia there's a green flavour called "Coola" which is kind of its own thing until you learn that it's a type of lime flavour." That must be a regional thing, but I've definitely had brown cola-flavored candies that are flavored to taste like off-brand Coke.

@@nick012000 I’ve had lime coola which is that common lime flavoured cordial. But I always thought that “coola” was the brand.

I've been repeatedly annoyed that San Pellegrino is available in the UK in basically every flavour they make except the Chinotto flavour, which is clearly the best.

Watermelon makes sense, that's where it was domesticated.

You sure it is root beer? I know candies in the shape of bottles and they are supposed to taste like something cola-like. They do not really taste like cola tho

Still, a bit sad no African countries were mentioned or that people from Africa reply a lot less.

@@AnonymousPlayers100 Agreed. Coke sucks.

@@AnonymousPlayers100 Pepsi has a slight citrus taste to it. How strong that is and if it's better or worse than Coke depends on location as well as if the bottler is using a corn or sugar cane based sweetener. To me anyway. Where I am now, I much prefer Coke.

American here, we have candy called twin snakes. One snake is sweet, one is sour and my favorite snake is black currant. I wish we had more options of black currant, but a lot of people could like it here but don't take time to read the package. I liked twin snakes for a year before I realized I liked black currant.

I'm american and I always associated the concept of the fruit currant with wild wax currants, which are entirely different fruit from blackcurrent but when I first heard europeans on the internet talk about currant flavored things I just sort of? assumed it was the same fruit or at least something that looked similar (like how blackberries and raspberries are just kinda the same fruit with different colors). And I was very wrong.

In America there is a tea company that has a blackcurrant flavor as one of their most popular teas, but we're talking tea in America here. This is a coffee country first and second and a lipton teabag country third, so loose leaf blackcurrant tea is a niche within a niche within a niche.

That's fruity.

Ha ha- love that

@@jacques-aimedurand945 that’s the point 🍉

Man i wish i lived near mexico, i grew up with spicy mexican candy flavors but now live far from mexico, so their candy is expensive and rare here

Limes aren't too hard to find where I live. But the price is way higher: $300 for a kilo of limes and $200 for two kilos of lemons. I suppose it is because our country's climate is extremely similar to that in Europe, with only the north having anything that resembles Mexico or Colombia.

And Chile too, because Limes are almost non-existent here.

Must be the climate! Argentina would be more similar in that way to Northern American countries than to most of Latin America, which is mostly tropical countries

I think it's because of the climate..

@@merlumili We're also a very tall country, with frozen taigas in the south, mountains to the west and jungle to the northeast. Maybe limes are more popular in the north, who knows?

What a dreamy combination of flavors from everywhere! I would have loved that as a kid!

I went to Kenya as a kid and they had Blackcurrant Fanta. It's the best flavor IMO. Of course the don't sell it here in the US 😥
