American Couple Tries Classic Australia Snacks | Snack Mail

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

As always, thanks for watching! Out of all the things we tried in this video, what is your most favorite and least favorite?

[@jayweb51]

Cadbury from Australia is made in Hobart, Tasmania. The main ingredient is full cream milk; compared to that made by Hershey's in America, where sugar is listed as the main ingredient.

[@1tbrew]

You need to try to do the Tim Tam slam! You bite off a corner and then the opposite. You can drink milk through a cookie! Yummmm

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We completely forgot about that! Darn!! Next time we get a box we’ll have to do it, because we scarfed down that package extremely quick! 😅

[@1tbrew]

@@FromtheHobbitHole they sell them in my local grocery store in Utah. Maybe yours had them too!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

There’s a couple large chain grocery stores in our area that carries lots of imported foods, so maybe you are right! We’ll definitely be checking to see if they carry them because they are sooooo good!!

[@StarsAndEmbers]

Aww, so happy that Sage loves the Koala! haha! You had 'Arnotts' right the first time. We say it like 'Ar-nets' Smores are kind of a thing in Australia. Graham crackers don't really exist in Australia, so we have to substitute with other things, which means we don't do them often. (we also don't have a lot of bonfires, cause bushfires) I wish I watched this before I went grocery shopping cause now I really want Jaffas 😛 So glad you liked it all!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Whenever we think we pronounce a name or word correctly after trying it a few different ways, we always find that the first way was right! Lol. Sage really does love the koala. Thanks again for that! It’s amazing how many Jaffas are in that small bag you sent us 😮

[@creativeepicure]

Blessings to you all.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Thank you! 💚💛

[@8catmom]

Hi guys, nice seeing you again! Australian treats are awesome!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Hey! Good to hear from you again. 💚💛

[@LindsayTVFilm]

“Is s’mores a thing in Australia?” That’s a good question to ask Luke and Dom of ReviewTyme

[@jillhobson6128]

What is s'mores?

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

S’mores is made by taking a marshmallow that’s roasted over a fire and placing it alongside a piece of flat chocolate (typically Hershey’s here in the States) and sandwiching it between two Graham Crackers. We understand that the Graham Crackers is a primarily US thing, so it’s akin to a digestive biscuit.

[@jillhobson6128]

@@FromtheHobbitHole Thanks for your reply. S'mores sound awful, I don't like marshmallows!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

You’re welcome. Have you ever had toasted marshmallows? It’s wayyyy different that regular marshmallow

[@jillhobson6128]

@@FromtheHobbitHole No, never had a toasted marshmallow, I haven't got an open fire. I still don't think I'd like them, must be my English taste buds!

[@susanashcroft2674]

Always good to see a video from you. Loved you trying the snacks and chocs from Australia. The Musk Sticks look similar to a UK retro sweet called Fruit Sticks or something called Coltsfoot Rock, although would certainly have a different taste if you tried those! (The last one especially). Hope you are all doing well and thanks for an enjoyable watch as always.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We are definitely curious to try those other retro sweets. They sound interesting!

[@helenrobinson8894]

Great to see a new review. Aus has some great snacks i really like the Chokito too and the Mintees

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We definitely need to get back to doing more food reviews…it’s just been hard to make time for them right now. Thanks for enjoying this one!

[@jayweb51]

We don't have s'mores in Australia. We toast our marshmallows, and sometimes dip them in chocolate fondue.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Not sure we’ve ever toasted marshmallows before putting them in chocolate fondue, but that sounds incredible!

[@jayweb51]

Most people think it tastes like kissing your grandmother's check. Musk's floral flavour and aroma are reminiscent of musk perfume, Musk belongs to the amber fragrance family. The candy also comes in Fruit Sticks, with the flavours of orange, lemon, lime and raspberry.

[@rocketfishstudios-facebook4758]

Musk sticks are great to keep in the toilet (bathroom) Keeps the air smelling fresh and flowery and, makes for a great snack while you're otherwise occupied on the seat posting your parcels to Santa :) BTW, that flavour is called MUSK lol, hence the name :)

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

😂 not sure what to think about snacking while posting parcels to Santa… 😅

[@vickytaylor9155]

Tim Tams are the same as penguin biscuits in the Uk. Penguins were the original. Apparently someone from the Australian company came to England and visited where penguins were made and took the recipe bak with him.

[@scunnygal]

And Penguins are just bourbons covered in chocolate lol

[@tulipwindmill]

I thought they looked like penguins!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Bourbons cover in chocolate? Yum! Next time we get a British box, we need Penguins in it!

[@petermcculloch4933]

Tim Tams are a superior biscuit to Penguins.

[@djgrant8761]

The closest to s’mores in Australia is damper. Damper is a bread that is usually cooked in a camp oven but whenever we have campfires especially when we were school aged we would have the damper on sticks which you heat over the campfire.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

That’s fun!

[@carolinegray3150]

The tic tock biscuits with different colours look nice

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

They really are good! They’re good for dunking 😉

[@stanleywiggins5047]

I add comments while video is playing.. Jaffas way back in the 60's & 70's had an add on TV about rolling Jaffas down the isle (wood floor) of the movie theatre.. When I was a kid, about 50 years ago, we just lobbed them over the head of the people in the row in front. To hit the rows in front of them..

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We enjoy when people comment as they watch! It’s like we are having a conversation 😉 As for the add, and then what you did as a kid, that’s all hilarious!! 😂

[@jayweb51]

My favourite sweet snack is a Violet Crumble, it is chocolate coated honeycomb; the honeycomb is denser than a Crunchie, it has a butterscotch toffee flavour and it dissolves completely in your mouth unlike the Crunchie which tends to clump as it dissolves. It was originally made by Hoadley's Confectionery from Melbourne, Hoadley's was bought by Nestle; then South Australian confectionery Robern Menz acquired the intellectual property rights from Nestle. Menz subsequently acquired the intellectual property rights to another of Hoadley's original confectionery, the Polly Waffle; this is a soft marshmallow inside a waffle tube and coated in Milk chocolate.

[@vickytaylor9155]

Each country is licensed by Cadbury to make their chocolate, some countries used dried milk such as America, whereas the uk uses fresh milk.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Fresh milk is soooo much better!

[@wavking]

You need to do the TimTam slam with hot COFFEE. If you think it melts in your mouth quickly, wait until you try sucking coffee through it like a straw and then slamming the whole biscuit in your mouth. It collapses like a sinkhole.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We totally didn’t think of doing that!! 😫 That would have been so much fun to do!

[@DrDaveW]

Only just found your channel (and subscribed). I’m sure you understand the reference if I think of you as Aragorn and Galadriel try food. I mean, that’s a serious call compliment!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

That IS a serious compliment!! Thank you!

[@jaxsman1531]

Thrills are horrible lol! Tim Tams are 'frickin awesome' :)

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We’ll agree with the Tim Tams being frickin’ awesome! 😆

[@vickytaylor9155]

The furry friends are like the Australian version of a UK Freddo frog. It will have a cartoon animal on.

[@davebirch1976]

I thought the koala one at the beginning was more like the freddo as there used to be a caramel freddo too

[@susanashcroft2674]

I think Cadburys do Animal Bars in UK. Think they have monkeys, elephants imprinted on them like the Australian version.

[@traceyandrob13]

some people suck the jaffa's lolly down it depends on the person and shapes they have more flavors other flavours they have. It has coconut and cherry are both of them in it. Tim Tams have different flavours

[@carolinegray3150]

There are chocolate mini eggs in a shell in the uk

[@nicholaskarako5701]

Watched this documentary on why Europe's typically don't like American chocolate. Thought it was interesting the reasoning why they think a lot of America chocolate has a bitter almost baby vomit taste to it. Before electric refrigeration milk would only last 72 hours before in would spoil and have to be thrown out. Milton Hershey figure out he could make the milk used in his chocolate more shelf stable by adding an enzyme like butyric acid to break down the fats to smaller molecules in milk. This process might of made the milk last longer, but that is why Hershey's chocolate has a bit of a bitter taste to it. When so many other chocolate factorys like Cadbury stopped candy production and manufacturing machines parts for planes/ etc during WWI Hershey's chocolate had secured government contracts producing MREs with his companies chocolate bar inside. The American soldiers grew accustomed to the bitterness of the chocolate and more or less became the new normal standard chocolate bar of choice when they came back home after the war was over.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We knew some of those details, since we live relatively close to Hershey, Pennsylvania, but we did not know all of what you shared. Very cool and interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@LindsayTVFilm]

I honestly thought Snapchat had died off, but a lot of the associates at Cedar Point still have it. I feel you guys (as well as Not Your Normal Guy Theme Parks) use the Shorts feature akin to TikTok (which is the intent) or Instagram Stories (which is interesting of Trent, who also has a Disney Movie channel-but he’s currently dumping old videos there like how I am with History & Leisure while I’m in Ohio)

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Guess that’s why there’s so many social media options and features…everyone prefers them for different reasons

[@misolgit69]

No Tim Tam slam ?

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

No…….sorry. It completely slipped our minds when filming the video! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@davebirch1976]

Of course they spell colour with a "u" its only Americans that spell it without 😂

Each Tik Tok has a different time on the back.

[@stanleywiggins5047]

Most Americans like our munchies. The Vegemite not so much..

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Did you see our video where we tried Vegemite?

[@BigC1290]

Australia are a British commonwealth country so they speak UK English

[@BigC1290]

Timtams > UK penguins just thicker

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

So they aren’t 100% identical?

[@stanleywiggins5047]

Pritty sure someone has told you, but I'll do it anyway.. Cadbury Australia is a little better than Cadbury UK, & as far as I know the Cadbury you get in the States is different again..

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

The Cadbury we get in the States is completely different from any of the Cadbury items we’ve tried from other countries!

[@vickytaylor9155]

Vegemite tastes like burnt cabbage, whereas marmite is full of yummy saltiness.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We’ll see how those comparisons hold up very soon!

[@mrx1766]

How do we know when they are 🇦🇺? we can't taste em through the screen. 🤔
