Americans Try Strange Japanese Candy - Taste Test!

[@PaperBagPersphone]

Watching them trying to figure out how to open ramune was the best part, lol!

[@lorriemiller6750]

Ramen They forgot Ninjas which is Japanese.

[@xxrainbow_ghoulxx6524]

Oh man, I love watching people open Ramune for the first time. It's always satisfying to watch their reactions 😊

[@candysmiles11]

Yep

[@Catmoore60]

It’s the modern version of a cod bottle. Kids break them to get the marble.

[@rachelworkman9652]

Yes do the ramune taste test!!! The blue raspberry and lychee are my fave!!!:)

[@joecole4623]

If they’re going to order all of them then they need to include the weird flavours like curry and chili oil.

[@ParkDany]

There are actually 3 versions of writing which they use. Katakana, Hiragana and Kanji. The indents on the bottle are actually there to keep the marble from blocking

[@SeanShimamoto]

Yup, with katakana usually used for non-Japanese words...like my name, which is Irish, it’s written in katakana, which has harder edges. ション. While hiragana and kanji are for Japanese words...like my surname. In hiragana it’s しまもと...but in kanji it’s just 島本 (島 is “island” and 本 is “base or foundation”; 本 can also be “book”, it all depends on context). PS - To be fair, we stole kanji from Chinese. They invented so many things before Europeans, but Europeans get the credit for it. LOL. Like forks, Chinese invented them...and noodles, Chinese made them long before Italians.

[@SeanShimamoto]

Have you ever been to Hawai’i? We have all of those snacks here. But then again, about 1 in 5 people here are Japanese Americans. My family’s been here since 1868 and many of my friends’ families emigrated from Japan between then and 1900 or so. Even our 7-11s are very similar to the ones in Japan and are nothing like the American 7-11s. Hehe. We still have burgers and hotdogs, but we also have spaghetti, pho, tuna hand rolls, dim sum, etc.

[@danimaemodelsc]

Came to say the same thing.

[@rabiyahammad8368]

Cam's description of taste is just whole other level 🤣

[@Sherlock.o.Watson]

I can't wait to see that. Men Try being Samurai. May I suggest. Men Try creating/sewing outfits for each other from scratch. ❤

[@kaygrout5426]

Yes!!

[@judyalta]

[@CecilieC86]

Haha i love when Austin looked at cam and just quickly took the pop rocks 🤣 i laughed so hard 😆 you did had alot of wheat cackers in that video 😜 you guys are so wonderful with your description of the things you try 👏🏻👍🏻❤️

[@dawnmagee3354]

Man oh man I love your videos! In March, when my husband was furloughed from his job, he decided to do something constructive with all of the time and started to learn Japanese. I agree that the kanji is quite beautiful. For his birthday I bought him a shirt that says " Currently studying Japanese" in kanji. And last month I ordered him a gift box of japanese treats. Wish I had seen this video before I ordered the treats! We are used to a certain level of sweetness to our candy. The Japanese do not see things the same way. Thank you for the entertaining videos! Always a pleasure to watch! Btw, he's still studying Japanese every day, and I've started a separate savings account for a vacation in Japan for our 10th wedding anniversary.

[@stephanieflorence8109]

Guys, all purpose flour is made from wheat so the majority of our crackers are wheat crackers...our palates are just used to overly sweetened or salty everything in processed food.

[@lmaree200886]

The soda name ramune is pronounced as rah-moo-nay or lah-moo-nay in Japanese! They are less carbonated and less sugary than regular sodas. The indent on the side actually holds the marble as you tip the bottle over to sip. You guys need to find Poifull jelly beans! Not as good as Jelly Belly but still fruity!

[@duffy7993]

Was gunna ask y'all to do a ramune taste test boom then you mention it. Define must try!

[@EmmaSP]

haha love that you think Brits don't get sarcasm yet half our day is filled with sarcasm and lots of eye rolls.

[@joleneescobar3811]

The Marble in the Ramune drink helps keep it from fizzing out. My girls love these.

[@KrisMartin1982]

Bourbon as in "ber'bon" is like a whisky but there's also Bourbon as in "bor'bon" which is a type of buscuit

[@adinacama6178]

My favorite part of it all was seeing Cam throw the things off the table hilarious. You both are hilarious. Much love 😘🤟✌️

[@PurpleWings919]

Do an episode of just the drinks

[@Brooksie603]

I got my granddaughter a bunch of Japanese snacks for Halloween and she LOVES them. It's more crackers and chips than sweets and she likes the colorful packaging and think they taste great. I those fluffy crunchy rice cracker things are sometimes in the Party mix or Pub mix (like Utz brand) with honey mustard twists, cheddar cheese twists, honey roasted sesame chips, oriental rice crackers, pretzel stix, nacho bagel chips, and worcestershire rye chips.

[@SeanShimamoto]

Japanese people pride themselves on their fruit flavours...they taste like the actual fruits. Even their shaved ice (snow cones) have syrups that are made from actual fruits. You should research their melons!!! Yeah, get your mind out of the gutter! 😜 Kidding aside, their melons can cost over $100 each! But they really are delicious! Cam, since you speak Spanish...Japanese pronounce their vowels exactly the same as in Spanish. Even their different grades and sizes of rice are awesome. I like short grain sushi grade rice the best...Tamaki Gold and Tamanishiki are my favourite brands.

[@MahouMarcano]

Hey Guys!! My husband and I love your channel!! Is really fun to watch you try so much stuff! I hope the situation improves, so we can send you a box of goodies from our country! We can't wait for you guys to try our local chocolate!! Is so good! ❤ Also, you guys should also try Korean Candies and Snacks!

[@rachaelroux3247]

Us brits are notoriously sarcastic! Some people unfortunately just lack a sense of humor.

[@chunkynerdet1802]

I was going to say being cheeky is brits thing.

[@beautiesfoodies8790]

I actually love British comedy. People are like it's really dry humor and I'm like it's so funny.

[@amy6499]

The indents in the ramune bottle are there to hold the marble back when you drink it.

[@mm-bv4zw]

I love watching your mind and taste buds experience other countries sweets. I'd love to see you guys try some more British sweets (candy) if you get the chance 🤣

[@mm-bv4zw]

Or attempt to guess British words or cokney slang

The podcast would be your thing then I've been listening to them for a few weeks now and it's pretty awesome!

[@Rosewolf29]

Them trying to figure out the Ramune drink, XD I was the same when I tried the drink for the first time. Ramune is super good, hard af to open, but so good flavor wise.

[@taylorniquette-creley4848]

It's pronounced.. .. .. Rah-moo-nay.. .. . 😅😂😂 we love the strawberry flavored ones😁

Do the ramune soda taste test. All the flavours!

[@debbiebouck521]

You guys are so funny and you make me laugh and make my day. Love the videos you do with your family too. Keep them coming.

[@imnobody21]

I do think that you should try the different types of Japanese drinks. I have tried most of them, and love them

[@smokeyybearhugs9092]

Pleaseee taste test Ramune! My kids love them, but we can only get 2 flavors local. I've looked at buying them online for them, but don't know what flavors to get. I would love to see a taste test!!

[@fishlady7930]

My favorite thing still is to introduce people to ramune drinks and watch the magical bewilderment of trying to figure out how to open it. The local anime store had a bet for people if they could get the ball out without breaking or damaging any part of the bottle they could pick something anything in the store.

[@craigdolvey6224]

I think the bottle used for the ramune drink is called a cod bottle because of the shape, they were popular in the UK in the Victorian era.

[@crystaljoines7785]

I love that his wife throws the snacks on the table. So funny!

[@maryjefferson4143]

The "trail mix" with the orangish pods that you like...the pods can be found at Walmart in the Great Value Tex Mex trail mix. If you can find it in a Walmart near you, I would highly suggest getting it and trying it out. I love them.

[@elinaseguin9469]

when the guys don't realize that wheat crackers just means that there all made with flour. the English translation is just telling them that those crackers have a high precent of wheat (flour) so probably number 1 ingredient.

[@Freckles_asl0587]

I'm pretty sure wheat cracker is how they differentiate the types of flour they have or use.

[@rachelralph100]

Its a British biscuit (cookie). Pronounced exactly as Austin said it. Boar bon (bourbon) Dipped in tea they are lovely

[@nolonlindataylor1689]

I love your taste testing on different foods. You guys are so funny.

[@Akuma-ui8ym]

Its hilarious seeing them figure out the ramune

[@samuelgonzalez1905]

Guys not sure if it has been mentioned before but that is marble soda and if you try to pour it the wrong way the marble will go up to then top and stop the liquid from coming out, that is what those grooves are for.

[@marybaker9472]

I would like to see you try different kinds of soda from Japan

[@hottubtimemachine1200]

My kids get these to drink at the Chinese restaurant with the marble in it. They think they are cool. Popping candy was hilarious.

[@traysshit8309]

Hi MTV crew. I'm from England & have a little fact for you. The Japanese pop bottle is actually a remake. Those bottles are what the English used to drink there pop from in the 1800s I think (don't quote me though). The kids used smash the necks off them to steal the marble. If you turn it on it's size the marble should move back into the top to stop the pop going flat. X

[@carrieali6500]

re-watching this made my crappy day better ilygsm u guys crack me up Cam having a adult temper tantrum when he swiped the wheat crackers caramel ones killed me

[@teadrinkingturret2088]

Bourbon biscuits are named after a former french royal family name of Bourbon and the holes in the biscuit were to allow steam to escape during the cooking to dtop the biscuit cracking, they're everywhere in the UK [we did them in our tea because of course we do] so it's interesting that Japan also likes them.

[@lexiledford3891]

That drink with the marble in it I used to drink it as a kid/teen! They were pretty popular back then lol I miss them 😭

[@hollyg1760]

You have to get the ramune whistle candy!!

the sticker you have is from a show called detective Conan came out in 1996 and still making episodes and movies! my number 1 anime for 15 years! you should watch the movies since the show is almost 1000 eps I screamed when I saw Kaito kid no shame

[@starthevampire14]

Yes please try all the different drinks I loved watching y'all open the bottle

[@VapVapor]

The fact that you don't know who Kid the Phantom Thief is from breaks my heart as a Case Closed/Detective Conan Fan.

[@samuelgonzalez1905]

Is actually called a marble soda because of the marble inside also if you pour one side it comes out you turn the bottle nothing comes out

[@simo1701]

Marble stopper bottles for fizzy drinks came before screw tops and caps I have some from the late 1800s

[@ladydubhblossom]

Japan caters to what they like, if they like a certain way chocolate or wafers are, they stick with it. they don't really make it as westerners do unless it KitKat from what I've tired. A lot of their food, candy, snack and drinks tend to be light in flavors, they don't do a lot of bold and adventurous items unless its a testing phase to see if it sells well. some places do specialize in bold or spicy but for the most part japan likes light and mild tastes with hints of heat. fruits flavors are usually what their known for though. id love to see you do a ramune taste test though, i love them and want to see which ones you guys like.

[@amberrhoades4247]

Y'all cracked me up w/ that drink "w/the fancy seeing eye glass". My husband loves those drinks & buys them all the time (in bulk) @ our local 5below. *MUST DO A TASTE TEST!*

That’s snacks you loved and ate at the end again they sell in Costco. Also the drinks you can get in grocery stores in the Asian section. They sell many different flavors. Think the snacks in Costco are called a pub mix.

I used to get those drink with the little ball in it a Hastings of different flavors before they closed.

[@educatorally3875]

Video idea: Candy or food taste test on items that have been discontinued and later put back on the shelves. I got this idea because my favorite candy was taken off the shelves around the year 2007 or so and it's called creme savers. My favorite are the strawberry creme savers and I've searched high and low for them for over a decade. I found out yesterday that they have finally put them back on shelves in Big Lots stores due to popular demand so I cannot wait to stock up on them when I finally find them!!!!

[@educatorally3875]

Maybe you can try to get your hands on the pre-discontinued versions and compare it to the re-released versions. I do know that I read that creme savers have been reformulated so I am going to be terribly disappointed if they suck now.
