Are these the best snacks in the World?! - This With Them

[@susanperry926]

The very best way to drink rootbeer is to put a mug into the freezer and let it get all frosty. Pour ice cold rootbeer into the mug and enjoy

[@barbramighall4518]

I love root beer! Nobody drinks it warm. You need to get it really cold...it is so refreshing! Add vanilla ice cream for an awesome float.

[@jordienav5603]

Nothing beats a nice frosty root beer float!

[@michysays]

Rootbeer is my favorite soda 🥤 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@AnaleenAelwyn]

I drink it warm... but usually because I forgot to put it in the fridge. 🤣

[@peterfus9543]

I love root beer and birch beer. Birch beer is an eastern u.s. drink. I fell in love with birch beer when I lived in New England but the birch beer in New England is clear.

[@nonidagoo1]

loving the way the person sends this package of sweets with a map included ! this is a great way to learn more about the origins & history of each snack & its a great way to encourage you two to make a "Snack/Yummy Trip" together & visit all the places where the snacks were found ( including the Hersey's amusment park as well ) !!

Sarsaparilla is good soda too! I love mixing my Birch beer or sarsaparilla soda with vanilla bean ice cream.

[@bobmathis-friedman6742]

I LOVE root beer...particularly A&W; it uses Vanilla in the recipe

[@crystals1117]

I'm from PA and take my snacking very serious 😂 Snyder's pretzel thin sticks and wise sour cream and onion are my kids favorite. You haven't lived until you've had Herr's salt and vinegar, Wise honey BBQ. The ginger snaps work amazing for stomach bugs.

[@tinas_craft_creations]

I agree, the Wise honey BBQ are yummy (I'm in Pittsburgh) 😁😁

[@lisasmythe3826]

[@penzer2010]

I live close to Reading, PA and I noticed that there are at least 3 local brands of family owned chips missing. (Good's, Zerbe's and Dieffenbach's) Not being negative towards the sender of this box, just reinforcing the snack capital claim. And how much Pennsylvanians like their chips.

Definitely need to try that next time!

Entenmann's originated in Brooklyn. They were based on Long Island for many years. Growing up, Wise were my go-to savory snacks.

Hi Alex and Kate, the Snyder’s pretzels you tried were both sourdough. One was just salted and the others were flavored with mustard and onion. A lot of people in the US dip the salted pretzels in mustard.

I love your videos so much. I've been thinking that getting a scratch off map, like people get for travel, to scratch off all the places that you have tried snacks from would be really cool. I think that would be a great way to visually see all the places you have tried snacks from! When you do a video from somewhere new you could start the video with scratching off the place on the map!

Root beer 🙋‍♀️ Also noticing all the German family names for the companies. Which fits.

[@TheMtggrl]

I grew up in the Mormon church, when I was little there was no drinking any soda with Caffeine, so we would always have Rootbeer ... and I LOVE it, it is sweet and yummy, then I got a little older and wiser and fell in love with Birch Beer, it's spicy and delicious and my whole family loves Birch Beer, it's definitely an East Coast thing, and harder to find in Southern California. I've been to Hershey Park .. it's a fun little place and you can tour the factory, but like you I've had the Wilbur Buds as well and prefer them to Hershey. Thanks for sharing your box adventure with us, it was fun.

[@jeanhecker4533]

Three cheers to Kiora and Hank. Great box and great choices. All my favorites. From a born and bred Pennsylvanian. (Now a Delawarian). Yum. Pretzels!

[@emsparamedic5183]

That was a great box of snacks!! I really enjoy party mix things, Ginger snaps with milk, and ice cold root beer over vanilla ice cream. I rarely drink root beer on its own, but when I do it has to be ice cold.

From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania here. Some of these I've never heard of but definitely love Utz (which wasn't sold in Pittsburgh until a few years ago) and Snyder.

[@kpalm7368]

I didn’t like root beer until I had my mother in law’s homemade brew. She’d save the potato water (from boiling potatoes) and used the A&W extract and add some yeast. I’m sure you know Kate that the combination of the starch from the potato water and the yeast produced an “explosive” root beer. She used to bottle her root beer and sometimes you could hear the bottles exploding in the basement😂. We also felt that the longer the bottles sat there, there might have been a bit of “fermentation” that could give you a pretty good little buzz😉

[@richardd.2988]

Yep. It's Reading like the color red. Also, Hershey, Pennsylvania was created as a model town for the workers at Milton Hershey’s chocolate factory (a model town is a place built for a company to house their employees).

Make sure you frost the glasses in the freezer. I think RootBeer is better really cold. If it gets warm it just becomes super sweet and flat.

[@tracysmith4944]

I hated root beer when I was younger, it tasted way to sweet, I always went for Dr. Pepper. Now I love root beer. I will sometimes mix Dr. Pepper and Root Beer together if I am at a self serve place that offers both. Sprecher Root Beer brewed in Milwaukee, WI is my favorite, it is the best root beer I have ever had. Followed by IBC brand and A&W made with vanilla. It is sad the dentist has ruined root beer for you all. Our dentists typically use mint or cherry. I agree with many of the other posts, you MUST drink root beer cold and in a frosted glass for the best experience. Warm root beer is the nastiest to me, I won't/don't drink it warm. As always you both are so fun to watch!! :)

Your friendly neighborhood (former) Utz salesman here! While I had hoped to send you a box later this year with some Northeast PA specialties, it seems this box has done a pretty good job. I might still send a few things that are unique to our area of the Commonwealth (PA is NOT a state!) First, it should be pronounced Uh-ts, rather than Oo-ts. Not a big deal, but technically correct. Second, the Utz Sour Cream and Onion are a local favorite, but the Grandma Utz is actually less well-liked. I'm not sure why, but they have never sold quite as well, at least in my area. The party mix is not anywhere near as popular as the Utz Pub Mix, which has more small, crunchy pieces rather than the Party Mix's crisps and pretzels. I'm glad you're enjoying what Pennsylvania has to offer!

[@helenrobinson8894]

The family sending you that box were so thoughtful and thorough. It was a joy to watch. You can get the Snyders from Tesco here in the UK but i thought the honey mustard was such a strange flavour.
