The Moon Pie brings back a fond memory. I'm 60 now, but when I was a very young boy, my grandfather would come home from working in a Kentucky coal mine in the very early afternoon (his shift started before dawn), and he would sit right down on the sidewalk with me before cleaning up in his basement shower room, while he was still filthy with coal dust, and share treats with me from his lunch bucket (the man never got an uncontested bite of his packed desserts during my entire childhood). My favorite was always his Moon Pie (sometimes banana, sometimes chocolate flavor). He would split it with me (my piece was usually most of the pie), pour some coffee from his Thermos bottle into a cooling saucer for me to sip, and I would think myself quite the grown up as I sat there having coffee and Moon Pie with my 'Pa-paw' (which is Kentucky for grandfather). We would tell each other about our day, he with a toned-down version of what I would later learn was one of the more risky professions, which I would sit through patiently until it was my turn and I could cover the really interesting bits of what I had played with, the treasures I had found in the back field, or what the dog had got up to that day. Really rich times, brought back in a rush when I saw you reviewing a treat that was an integral part of it all. Thank you for that!

[@Nate-wu8rr]

I had a Pa-Paw in Arkansas and reading this almost brought tears to my eyes.

My papa (Northern variant of pa-paw) died when I was a baby, but I've had stories passed to me from when our home town was a coal boom town. He said as a boy he had never had Hershey chocolate until the town had its first general store from the miners moving in to town. Man, the coal boom really exploded the town. Sometimes literally! 3000 people, a movie theater, a few general stores, a barbershop, and a whole mining company sprang up almost overnight. We still have a general store and a salon, but now we're down to about 600 people in secondhand homes almost a century later. Not to mention the strip mines leaving behind lakes for us to swim and fish in and the mountain of trailings to search for fossils in.

[@notreyf]

Both my grandfathers had died by the time I was born, I have lovely recollections of my grandmothers though. Thank you for sharing your memories of your Pa-Paw. I know social media comes in for a lot of criticism these days, and sometimes rightly so. But isn't wonderful that a man in England can be deeply moved by the memories of a man in the USA, through a video channel we both clearly enjoy.

When I was a kid growing up in the US almost 60 years ago, candy bars cost 5 cents. My family was rather poor and a nickle was a lot of money. My allowance was 10c a week. Chunky was sold as a single cube back then and to a kid debating what candy to buy with his precious nickle, as much as I was intrigued by the Chunky advertising, I opted instead for the bigger-looking Hershey and Nestle chocolate bars. Then one day I acquired a paper route and immediately became effectively a "rich kid" with lots of disposable nickles. Finally "invested" in a Chunky and discovered it was pretty good but not the Holy Grail of Candy that I had imagined it possibly to be! But to this day whenever I see Chunky I remember it as being "special" due to my youthful intrigue with it.

Nice story. I grew up in the early '70s in the UK and I got 2p from the nice old lady next door for running down to the post office and fetching her pension every Saturday morning. On the way home I'd stop in the corner shop and stare at the sweets for about ten minutes - a penny got you four fruit-salad (raspberry & vanilla) or black-jack (aniseed) chews (small wrapped candies) back then, so I could buy a paper bag with 8 sweets back in 1972.

Yeah, kool-aid is kind of unusual in a way that one packet is actually for a large pitcher of water and you have to put sugar in it. Kind of inconvienent if you ask me.

There are many flavours of collon in Japan! It is made by Glico which is a Japanese company whose other famous products include Pocky. This is actually sold in the UK under the brandname Mikado, but imported Pocky from Thailand also shows up very commonly in the UK. I don't know if what is sold domestically in Japan is also manufactured in Thailand, but it certainly seems sourcing it from there is a better option for importing it to the UK. The name collon (rendered as koron in Japanese and pronounced with a short o like in colony), comes from a japanese onomatopoeia (korokoro) that means for a small object to roll. I found this explanation on Glico's Japanese website. There's also the perhaps even more hilariously named "adults chocolate collon". In Japan it is quite common for things with a more bitter or otherwise "grown-up" flavour to be advertised as "adults" Finally, there is some japanese text on the english side of the collon box as you most likely noticed. To the bottom left of the logo it says the name of the product in japanese lettering (chokoreto koron) and on the top right "full of soft cream" I'm glad you got to try it as it is one of my favourite Japanese snacks, but the chocolate ones are not so good in my experience. The classic cream collon flavour is much nicer. The filling tastes somewhat similar to custard cream filling but with a different soft texture that goes well with the crunchy wafery biscuit.

[@tylerdejong6930]

Shrimp has such a diverse vocabulary for flavors and textures, so it was quite funny for me to listen to him describe the taste of unsweetened grape kool-aid. Even then, he was polite enough to (almost) finish the glass of something so vile🥲

Their milk chocolate is exquisite, tasting like Cadburys Dairy Milk used to taste in the old days.

As an American in the south (because my Mom was born in Louisiana) I grew up with Moon Pies (mostly the chocolate ones). I still have an affection for them. We had loads of cool-aid in our youth. These days flavored water is much the same and some even use powder. Mixed normally, it's a very sweet heavy flavor drink (Kool-Aid). Used to come in sweetened and unsweetened formulation.

However, I was a fan of the strawberry kiwi flavor for a while.

As other commenters have noted, Kool-Aid was a childhood thing here in the States and came in a variety of flavours. I think it was especially popular in the 50s and 60s.

Congratulations on picking what I think is the very best version of Moon Pie. The vanilla and chocolate versions are nice, but the banana one actually tastes like bananas. It's a sublime snack, to me. It's a pity you didn't also nab a Goo Goo Cluster (marshmallow nougat, caramel, and roasted peanuts covered in milk chocolate) -- a famous treat from Nashville, Tennessee.

[@kathi1987]

I wonder if the raisins in the Chunky bar could account for the slightly alcohol taste of the chocolate - Chunky’s are one of my faves 😊

[@realShadowKat]

I know vid is quite old but the advertising novelty of "Made with Real Sugar" on the MoonPie is that it does not use High Fructose Corn Syrup as a cheap sweetener which is heavily prevalent in the US (not sure of the UK). "Real Sugar" leads to increased costs but is considered healthier and natural; but manufacturers usually shy away because it cuts into profits on price sensitive items. For people with a fructose sensitivity it is also a plus.

My favorite Moon Pie is chocolate and I cannot forget the RC cola to go with it. Southern classic snack.

[@Otakugirl44]

American chocolate generally tastes "off/sour/like sick" according to a lot of British people this is generally because of the butyric acid which is introduced into the chocolate during the milk sterilization process, by pre spoiling the milk slightly it made chocolate more shelf-stable, the process when compared to many European chocolates means that the milk is not heated to the same temperature and thus American chocolate lacks the "caramelly" flavor that even same brands may have across the pond, I believe even Cadbury when it entered the USA market cultivated more butyric acid in the bars so it would appeal to the american pallet ,(it could be a goodvideo idea of comparing the same chocolate brands in the US and the UK depending on their indended country of sale.)

[@Pattoe]

Sorry for making a comment so long after this video was released, but on the chocolate collons there is thai on one side of the package and japanese on the other side of the package. I learned hiragana (basic Japanese characters) because it only takes a few hours to learn and it makes translating stuff like this a lot easier. In Japanese it says 'Chocolate Collon' which is expected but also "fuwafuwa cream" and fuwafuwa is a japanese expression that basically means very fluffy. It's used to describe anything from food, to clouds/animals to even music and art. So the selling point of that snack definitely seems to be less based on taste and more on texture.

I wasn't too put off by that and I acquaint that moment with my ability to try things that many of my peers would avoid. I need to thank him for that.

Atomic Shrimp, oh gosh when you made that without sugar my mouth was puckering in anticipation of the unpleasant experience you were about to have! Orange Kool Aid is the best flavor in my opinion, and I am drinking it as I watch this. But grape is a favorite of many people. Cherry or Lime would be my second choice. That packet is meant to be mixed with 2 quarts (1/2 gallon) of water and a cup (8 ounces) of sugar. The best way to get the sugar to dissolve is to mix the packet and sugar with a small amount of hot or warm water, then add it to a 2 quart pitcher of ice. Add enough cold water to bring it to the 2 quart mark. It's a refreshing soft drink if you don't want the bubbles of soda. I'll tell you another hint, I don't like things overly sweet, so I add an additional quart of water to mine and it's perfect.

The challenge was getting them all out and eaten before they melted. A good alternative is a Cadbury Fruit and Nut chocolate bar.

[@TheChipmunk2008]

What you're tasting and smelling in the US chocolate, is butyric acid. Herhsey's used to use slightly gone off milk (perfectly safe as it's cooked) but cheaper. It conditioned the entire US market over time to expect the slightly sharper taste... The stuff in the UK is overly sweet. (an odd reversal, as usually the US tends toward more sugar). Another thing I noticed while living there was EVERYTHING has salt. LOL. Even their HP sauce (branded as A1 steak sauce). It's HP, with salt. (that might be a helpful tip for americans visiting the UK who NEED the A1 ;), ask the host for HP sauce, and add salt to taste.

I know you probably won't read this but the reason the nestle chunky chocolate bar tastes off is because in north America and the united states especially chocolate is made in a pressure chamber that heats up the chocolate in a way that makes it produce the very same acid that is in our vomit/stomach which is why it has a slightly off flavor. Americans are used to it but to the rest of the world thinks it tastes off just like you! nothin wrong with that ofc

I'm not sure if you have been told yet, but the odd flavor of the chocolate in chunky bar is caused by making process where anaerobic bacteria create a chemical normally only experienced by humans when we vomit. Or that is my rough remembering.

You don't know how much that made me smile, watching you pull out a packet of kool-aid. Nothing like watching someone from another country trying one of my childhood treats. I'm sorry it lacked the sugar and you got a nasty surprise as a surprise.

Banana moon pie? Musts just came back from nola lol. Moon pies are everywhere down here. Also that's a triple layer moon pie lol the big ones. Usually they are only 2 layer and obviously chocolate is the go to flavor.

In the early 2000’s, there was a prominent rap-artist by the name of Lil’Jon. During a show, where he was giving a tour of his home. He showed the audience how to make ghetto kool-aid. He proceeded to as several large cups of raw sugar in a pitcher, and pour water in it. He gave it a good stir, and that was, “ghetto look-aid”.

Very few people from the UK have ever heard of Kool aid, let alone know what you do with it. It reminds me of Americans trying to decipher how to prepare beans on toast or Marmite on toast!!

U think you can help the focus issues by using a no-detail mat underneath instead of the test pattern you use now.

The Jim bars are really popular, theres Jim and julie......always buy 10 or more of each as they are very moreish...haha

Always find your videos cover interesting topics.

I like how things are so different there. Its best to make the kool aid 2 quarts at a time with 1 and 1/4 of a cup of sugar the kool aid itself isn't sweetened.

[@davemottern4196]

My mom gave us Kool-Aid often when I was a child. Maybe the quality has gone down since then. I've never had the kind with the artificial sweetener. You might like it better with real sugar. Chunky used to be a big block of candy, not the 4 little pieces you have there. It seems like the quality of a lot of things has gone downhill over time.

And the price up, and portion size down.

You could do with a magnifying glass 🔍 when opening these boxes when the items have such tiny printing. Many thanks for another interesting video.
