I'm surprised they didn't send you biltong

[@colbyherod6154]

Keegan Foster yeah biltong is better

[@jhoxihum3230]

Jateen - Biltong is preserved meat, it does not go off. The reason why biltong was not sent are because of laws preventing people sending certain foods over the world spreading diseases. However, It can be done after A SHITLOAD of legal paperwork which makes it not worthwhile for a single package.

[@nonhlanhlanoliphondwana7520]

They wanna save costs

[@M.i.a.A1919]

Keegan Foster yeah biltong is the main of all snackies here!

[@CH-uc3yx]

No Biltong? Biltong is South Africa's trade mark treat lol

lol awe

[@taliaponambalan1451]

And they sent all the small things. But there's so many other things that they should try

[@danielcoetzee1344]

Asher Pardey ik righ

[@jimbobjones3391]

Very limited range, most of which are lower quality and price. Strange that they only sent you a bite-size Tex. South Africa really has a wide variety of snacks.

sending you much love from South Africa

[@molocuna3068]

Hi Johnson Family. Yours is one of the most pleasant "taste test" videos on KZbin. None of the funny faces and condescending comments that one see in most of the "taste test" videos on KZbin. Best regards from South Africa.

[@lalina1304]

Lol interesting pronunciation, we call it a "my low" bar in South Africa (the Milo), we can also get it in like a hot chocolate powder, to drink with hot milk. Cool video :)

[@elmavandermerwe4253]

I think a Bar One is our favorite chocolate bar not Tex , remember you just got small mini's from every brand , the Tex bars is HUGE

[@amandabooysen1872]

they got a small bar i know you get a big tex as well as a bar one.I also say the bar one are more popular then tex by far here

[@nickker6387]

Thank you

[@amandabooysen1872]

it is 1 big giant pleasure

Hi, im from South Africa, good to see other countries like our snacks!!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

they are good!

Martin Johnson, you should come here some time to try out more

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+MiloDiggz 17380 I would love to!

[@chantebennett6887]

It's pronounced (My-low) Not (Me-low) I'm from South Africa And it's Nestle (Nest-lay) They literally sent you all the cheap stuff

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Thanks. Those are international names and are pronounced differently in different countries. But is is cool to know how they are pronounced in South Africa.

[@XIcampRealityX]

blame it on too much sugary sweetness munchies i'd say 😫😫

[@Graanvlok]

Interesting...we (South Africans) also say Nes(t)-LAY, not Nes(t)-LEE.

Haha that's all our cheapest snacks. I really hate some of them! Start an 'exchange' page where people can send each other snacks from their country. That would be pretty cool!

[@nontokozomkhize4449]

Get over the pronounciation already...glad you guys enjoyed our treats! :) -❤ from SA

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

:)

[@pauldbeer]

Hi guys, you look like a realy friendly family. By the way, I'm from South Afrika and just love your comments and facial expesions from every taste. You guys rock! You had but a very small sample of the wide spread of snacks from SA, but it is obviously not possible to send all the snacks in a handy little box. From my point of view (taste) I do not think you had some of our better snacks in that box, although those aren't too bad at all. To my taste, our best snack is unique to SA and is called biltong. It is made from meat (dried and spiced to taste), so not for vegaterians, but they are simply delisious. google it?? Since it is made from meat I'm not sure if it would be easy to get them into your country, but if you can, do try! However, you're welcome to visit SA and taste to your hards content.If you would ever visit, you'll find the dollar Rand exchange well in your favour, thus a tour to SA will be relitively cheap for you. Hope to see you guys over here soon. By the way, I live in the Gauteng province in the city called Centurion.....

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Paul de Beer wow. Thanks for the info! That meet snack sounds good. Maybe it is like Jerky in the states. I would love to visit SA some day.

[@Graanvlok]

It's a lot like jerky.

[@ebrahimbaderoen5454]

It is basically jerky, but we call it biltong here.

[@CH-uc3yx]

Isn't Centurion a suburb of Tshwane? Near Irene mos? Just checking as me and geography don't always agree😂😅

[@natashadesousa3567]

It is basicly Jerky... but i could be wrong Not sure how Jerky is made but i heard its not made the same... Here in South Africa it piece of meat covered in spices and Air dried for a few weeks *

[@n.198]

looking at that packet of Flings and thinking "There's probably only going to be like 2 flings in that packet at best..If you guys are lucky" 😂😂 #SouthAfricanStruggles

[@JuicyJames58]

KOMOREBI ja bruh

[@mmulesparkles7005]

My thoughts exactly 😂😂

[@maxine8379]

last time I counted there were exactly 6 flings 😂😭

[@mabellinamoshabe8964]

Soooooooooo true

[@lize-marievanwijk1049]

KOMOREBI funniest thing😂😂 the South African life.

[@misscafe7616]

tex is not the most popular. anything that is cadbury is the most popular

[@melaniesmit4213]

Darkart2 nope definitely not I've never even heard of that

[@misscafe7616]

Never heard of cadbury? Its a british chocolate company.its not my fault you dont know it lol

[@ravenclaw0366]

I agree with you. I've never even heard of the Tex

[@johnpowell9417]

The TeX bar is way more popular😂😂 you people are mal, you can get like 3 TeX bars for one cadbury chocolate, it appleals to everyone cus it is so much cheaper. I am south african btw

[@johnpowell9417]

But TeX and bar one are probably equals

[@jessicabosch518]

The way they Milo and nestle hahaha

[@pelonomimogotsi832]

Some of these I haven't had since the 90s. These aren't top snacks here. Biltong is a huge one for us

[@cassandragarofallou5924]

Pleased ou like our snacks, but you definitely didnt get our best. Toppers are a cheap biscuit (cookie) as is fizzers and wonderbar. You would love our snacks if you did like those.

[@charnellcoetzer2226]

I am so glad you tried our sweets, but they really could have sent you something better. We have truly great stuff here.

[@megancrowhurst2846]

wow you guys sure do live up to the hype... totally rock out! 👌very accomodating feel to be able to have the chance to join in on the fun (tho coming across ur vid only just now.) also thumbs up for epic comic relief element mixed up for some good ol laugh!!!👍👍

[@lancetop]

How fun! thanks for posting:)

[@sarahjohnson8192]

Pretty cool snacks! My favorite was the wonder bar!

[@bothmanastrid]

Sarah Johnson 😂 Wonderbars are literally the cheapest chocolate. It's about R4 or in dollars 0,30c but the are very good though 😊

[@taotheteenagewitch1527]

one time i went to spar and it was R2 one time even R1,50

[@qhawekazib2250]

Hello, Im from South Africa. Its funny watching how your family reacts to our snacks. The tennis biscuits are teh best!!!!

[@sarahjohnson8192]

JSMK stone cold crazy oh yeah 😁 I think Americans normally pronounce it Mylo, it's just that we live in Indonesia where it's pronounced Meelo, so that's how we pronounce it haha

[@sarahjohnson8192]

qhawe mamana Hi! It was fun trying them!

[@cheekybird6560]

pppft lunch bar isnt there?

You missed out on a lot of amazing snacks but I love these too!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Somari De Wet Maybe we can visit someday and try them all :)

[@sgreybe]

Hey, I'm from South Africa and these are not the best we have! The Milo bar is pronounced Mye-low. Fizzers are incredible but not when melted! They're supposed to be fairly rigid. There should have been some better chips, some drinks and at least some biltong! That would've been awesome. But good video!

[@kaitlinsamuel9784]

Is anyone else irritated by the fact that the girl bit half the tex and yet didn't give her dad ?

[@MissAmykinz]

kaitlin samuel yes!

[@cecarea6887]

I'm irritated by the fact that they say me-low.

[@sabsdiy7723]

[@ghostiezarmy792icee3]

the little peicec in the "mylow" bar are corals of the hotchoclate that thei also make

[@AnnahMakuwa]

why did the company send them smaller packages of everything???

[@MrGibo2000]

It's a FREE Sample Pack !!

[@Bpacs12]

I feel like the company ripped you off. Most of the mini things came in bigger sizes. The fizzers, the tennis biscuits, the tex and the milo bar for example. Good video though!!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

the box was full. I guess they could have sent larger sizes but then they probably would have had less variety.

[@Bpacs12]

Martin Johnson okay I understand now. Great Video and am glad you enjoyed some of our South African Snacks. Biltong and some Rusks would have have been good to try to. After this video I think I will try give this a go and get a box delivered by the company. Looks very fun.

[@wemissharambe4635]

The Wonder bar is one of the Cheapest chocolates in South africa 🤣

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Really?

[@wemissharambe4635]

Martin Johnson yes If you buy it its like R2 maybe R3 and thats like 20 cents in us dollars ($0.20)

[@wemissharambe4635]

Martin Johnson Even Cheaper i Think

[@joshuawentzel3282]

Martin I don't think it's that cheap, maybe close to R11 but R3? You must be joking

[@wemissharambe4635]

joshua wentzel You dont even Pay For N Flake Aero Nothing R11

[@djtranzit3148]

Wow guys it was so cool seeying you enjoyed our products from South Africa its the most delicious goodies and the Tex choclate is my fav by far

[@walcodebruyn2135]

I'm a new South African subscriber and glad I found you're channel

[@karengibson2012]

Maize and corn are 2 different things. those are the cheapest snacks. Not doing S.A much credit,

[@mohausekgothudi2892]

I live in South Africa and i dont know what Flings are. Wow

[@ANRQAngel]

I love how excited you guys got about South Africa...

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

:D Are you from South Africa?

[@ANRQAngel]

Martin Johnson I am indeed

[@andriesgraaff9747]

Enjoyed watching this video. It's been nearly 3 years - Have you guys visited South Africa yet? Pity about the Fizzers that melted and the Tex Chocolate being so small. The Milo Chocolate bar is pronounced (My-low). You guys will definitely survive in South Africa - We have an abundance of delicious snacks, treats and AMAZING food!

[@theultimatemaverick8059]

They sent you cheap snacks Bro Like if u agree

[@moeletsigambu6740]

wow I'm impressed... Although Tex isn't the most popular chocolate here

[@braeddie]

Tex is the perfect chocolate bar. It's a cross between a Kit-Kat and an Aero. You never have to choose between those two if there's a Tex on the shelf.

[@debbiebedford5555]

I love wonder bar when I can't open my mind what I want. Fizzers is also nice my kids slap it against a table to brake it. Milo bars is ok, toppers as well.

[@lichisi]

Indomie very popular in africa ,maybe you can make video indomie indonesia vs indomie africa :)

[@ethangouws1983]

you need biltong!!

[@gaynonhaighgijsbers506]

You also get a Milo malt drink that you mix with hot water and milk. The little pieces in the chocolate bar is milo

[@liakomoremoholo2585]

They had to give you marvelous creations and biltong

[@ryanroberts6050]

milo is prenouced my-lo

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Gideon Botha not here.

[@taralyncarlsen211]

Martin Johnson lol, here? most Americans haven't even heard of Milo. I've heard it pronounced mee-low in other countries, like Australia, but in South Africa it's my-low, which is where those snacks are from. ;)

[@alucardhellsing1037]

The fact is in America your guys choclates are rubbish and your guys deserve better. We feed flings to babies here when they start eating solids. Creme Soda is a soft drink here in South Africa. Most of stuff you"ll received comes in regular size. Toppers come in several flavours and made by Bakers in South Africa. Pronounced My lo here comes as an instant drink, powdered form or as a choclates bar.

[@MrGibo2000]

So you've tasted most of the Chocolates in America?

[@GoodVideos4]

Oh well, there are Americans and South Africans who've said that there should be more cultural exchanges between the two countries. An example I'd say is with music, and an example is country music. Another is food, and an example is pumpkin recipes. South Africans generally tend to have a fascination for all things American. The two countries have also had similar histories. For instance both started as partly Dutch, and then British, colonies. Preferably no politics. It also seems like almost whatever happens in the one country also happens in the other. For instance in 1994 both moved more away from isolation and into the international community. In South Africa it was with the first democratic elections, and in the USA it was with the Soccer World Cup. (And then, South Africa moved more towards that with the 2010 Soccer World Cup.)

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Interesting! You have some good snacks :)

[@GoodVideos4]

And, that's just snacks. There're also others, like some cooked foods.

[@juanitaclaassen1660]

🤣🤣🤣 I love how they sent you the struggle box set... I mean flings is the chip we give to babies🤣🤣🤣

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Really?

[@juanitaclaassen1660]

Martin Johnson yes but not infant babies but toddler babies. Or we buy it when we're broke and crave a chippie. Simba potato chip is something they should have sent the bbq flavour. And the wonderbar, man that is one of the cheapest chocolates we have.

[@charlottebezuidenhout2690]

These are definitely our mini versions . Toppers are very cheap in South Africa. Our midrange version of business are fantastic!

[@pulengmofokeng1432]

You guys should try biltong, you'll love it... South Africa's pride 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@kabelodmathibedi885]

Proudly South African. Lol!! The little boy so cute when he says "Meelo" well the way he pronounced the Milo Chocolate.. it is pronounced 'My-Low'.. Tennis biscuits are delicious when it comes to using them for a dessert.. Tex chocolate my favorite of all time. Thanks for the cool video.. what a fun activity to do as a family. Really interesting.

[@wolfieinu]

Milo bars are LIFE!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Haha!

Such a sweet family!

+Jocelyn Eva Seagreen thanks. Maybe I can try it one day.

[@benniawayne2579]

Awesome snack i never eat before

[@sadiedalton719]

"Wow a meelo bar" Me: MILO (Its like "my-low" btw ) and I love this video 😂😍

[@Roni-Rosso]

I would absolutely love to send you all my favorites from South Africa, I would buy nothing there other than the tennis biscuits. My heart is crying in prayer so that you may get to experience the best that this country has to offer 🙏🏻 also the last chocolate you had is called Milo, pronounced like the name of the jack russle dog on the movie ‘The Mask’ with Jim Carry. Milo in South Africa is originally a grainy, crumbly, powder that you add to hot or cold milk to make a drink, when measuring the recommended teaspoon it’s heaped 🇿🇦 can never get enough, some people enjoy eating it dry out of the tin container 😅 we even have memes about it 🤪

[@liia_117x6]

where do you get this boxes i want one too

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Liia_117 x it is in the description

[@liia_117x6]

Martin Johnson thank you and glad you liked our candy 😊like your videos

[@nonijaxa8501]

Hey, I'm from South Africa and I love how you guys pronounce Milo. Although they didn't give you guys the best treats we have here in SA.

[@freddbearthysie]

the wonder bar is my mother favorite you get drifrent flavours i like the plain chocolate tennis biscut goes nice with tarts just so you wonder why we have them hahaha

[@gintyfleas4378]

Biltong is the ultimate superior snack! King of all snacks!! Mmm!

[@aschmann8925]

Lol, this is so funny for me to watch, because I'm from South Africa and i live in South Africa😅😅

[@jubey4900]

Omg i can't be the only one that used to roll up there fizzers

[@majinbuu4754]

South Africa produces some great snacks. My buddy from Utar came to South Africa about 2 years ago, so I took him to our local sore for snacks. He was very surprised about the Variety of Lays flavours that we have. Nestle, beacon and bakers are our number one snack companies. Bakers eet sum mor biscuits and Beacons Lunch Bar are my favourites.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

That's cool!

[@poerba1985]

yeay, finally uploaded this video :)

[@martiluslampe362]

enjoy...

[@mrlebz1460]

"Are they tennis balls or tennis racquets?" 😂😂😂

[@deadpan5104]

Oh and it Milo like the dog in Jim Carry's, The Mask

[@francoisvanmolendorff782]

When you wisit sa you gonna love the braai and slaai

[@daniellaelizabeth8084]

the fizzers are usually hard and we sometimes freeze them and snap them then they're like toffee

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

+Dan Kearney cool.

[@freddbearthysie]

when its winter we drink milo drink its very nice

[@andiler7421]

they sent you guys the baby versions of everything... I recommend you find a website that ships to America to try out everything properly and we do actually have a lot of snack companies Bakers is just the best

[@busyy9433]

Thx for the positive feedback on our food . Thx guys
