Brits First Time Trying American Candy

[@bowlympicshero]

Kool Aid seems to confound non Americans. 1 packet is supposed to make 1 half gallon pitcher (1.89 liters) and is made with 1 cup ( -128 g- approx 200-240 g) of sugar. It is extremely sweet but its very nostalgic.

The reason you'd like bananas but not banana flavored candy is because banana flavor in candy is based on a different type of banana that was popular in the 40s but was wiped out completely because of disease. We just kept that flavor for candy

[@ronclark9724]

And presently the Cavendish banana is being ruined by another blight... Soon another banana will be the market...

Cavendish bananas are so popular because they ship well. Most other banana strains rot much quicker

[@Nostripe361]

@@OrionARS the original was the gros michel (don’t think I spelled it right) but a type of fungus began to attack that type of banana tree so they had to switch to the cavendish that we use today.

Candy corn is basically icing, people use it to decorate cakes for Halloween And yes you did make the coolaid wrong. It shouldn’t be sour at all.

Shake it up to mix and then add cold water to top it off. Ice in a cup and pour…

PLEASE try this! The best part about Jolly Ranchers is using them to flavor vodka. Just buy a bottle of plain vodka (I like Absolut), as well as a decent sized bag of Jolly Ranchers. You just plop in the Jolly Ranchers and let it soak for 24 hours. A few *important* things to note: - You need to use enough Jolly Ranchers to make it work right. Generally the stronger the better. I’d say at least 25 normal sized Jolly Ranchers (like in this vid) per 500 mL. You can add more than that, or just use less vodka. - DO NOT make the mistake of mixing flavors. It’s much better to keep the flavors separate. This also means that you will need to buy more Jolly Ranchers if it’s an assorted bag. You will be shocked at how good this tastes. I don’t like liquor much, but this is way better than normal flavored vodkas you buy.

None of that stuff would be nearly that expensive in the US. That's just what most countries do with imported goods. They raise the prices on the basis that it's "foreign/exotic".

[@kakarikiyazoo]

No, it's not just because it is "foreign/exotic". It's more that imported goods cost more for the seller to acquire, as they usually pay more to buy them initially than domestic sellers who get them wholesale from domestic distributors. And on top of that they have to pay shipping costs and duty, which is VERY high in the UK for most imported goods. All those higher costs get passed on to the consumer in the retail price. Try importing things for resale and you will see that you need to charge much more than what would be charged in the country of origin.

The white mystery airhead is just a blended together batch of all of the scraps leftover at the factory of the other flavors. It's basically all of them in one.

Waiting to see if you like the Reese’s pieces….well I think you liked them 😂 I hate them but Reese’s cups are my fav.

[@lori6115]

you are so good and genuine!!!

I also like how other countries always think the more nostalgic candy like Tootsie Rolls and Twizzlers are the most popular here…. They’re not! I’d be hard pressed to go find someone I know who actually likes Twizzlers. Tootsie Rolls are like plastic, cheap tasting chocolates that usually only come around during Halloween because they are sold in the big Mix Bags for trick or treaters. Nobody just buys them at the shop to eat, and I don’t think they’re really sold unless around Halloween time.

[@alphacapo]

Twizzlers are good. Specially the Hershey chocolate ones. U gotta make sure the bag hasn't been on the shelf to long

[@dhrus5671]

Twizzlers are bomb

[@ImOutOfMtDew]

The flavored tootsie rolls aren't bad

[@Noah-hy7kp]

Twizzlers are ass, thats why we call em the rubber sticks

[@spritelass6712]

The problem with Halloween candy is that it can be old stuff from last year that didn't sell. I've never liked Twizzlers, but they sell them in bucket size containers at Cosco, so somebody likes them. Btw, I love Tootsie Rolls, you have to get them fresh.

At Christmas I make sugar cookies with a snowflake cut out. Crushed Jolly Ranchers in the cut out. After baking you have a cookie with Jolly Rancher. I call them stained glass cookies.

Candy Corn is actually great when mixed with salted peanuts. Even better with popcorn and salted peanuts! The flavor is way more balanced. Also the cheddar jalapeño Cheetos are way more manageable with the heat but also have tons of flavor.

LMAO "Diabetes in a pack"...classic!!

[@angelagraves865]

I was surprised you got some soft Mild Duds. Almost every time I get them they're like rocks, which only slows me down but doesn't stop me from eating them. Candy Corn is just vile. I know a lot of people like it but I find it revolting - the flavor and the texture. And while Twizzlers come in a greater variety of flavors, Red Vines are better. And yes, Reece's Pieces are the best!!

[@d2ndborn]

Love your facial reactions and your comments, another great vid! thanks for a laugh on y part.

[@brandonesquivias5165]

Damn over here in SoCal Takis are very popular due to Mexican influence, usually people who are already used to Spicy chips will love Takis.

[@SherriLyle80s]

Same in Florida. When we moved here in 2007, we embarrassed it all Takis and Adobo seasoning 😆

I’ve never seen someone butcher kool aid like that

[@iamangee]

Every non-American I’ve seen make it butchers it. People should send measuring cups with the kool aid packets lol

[@cathyvickers9063]

We used to get the pre-sweetened Koolade packets, mixed in a pitcher, put in the fridge to chill. Pour into glasses. If you didn't put it into the right size pitcher, put in the correct amount of sugar & water and then *stir the ingredients,* you get a bitter, unpleasant beverage! These days, I just get Koolade Jammers, which are drunk from foil pouches. My favorite flavors are grape; & tropical punch.

[@shenaniganss_4259]

I’m pretty sure everything you bought at the “American” Sweet Shop was all overpriced. Candy here in America is less than $2, and the Cheetos are definitely not $7 a bag. More like $4. They know people will buy it because it’s imported items from America, and if they want it they have no other choice but to pay the high price.

[@ronclark9724]

Flying or shipping food products across the Atlantic is NOT cheap...

[@HermanVonPetri]

@@ronclark9724 I can't explain the Cheetos but I think there is also a high tax added to products with large amounts of added sugar in the UK.

[@Jay-fu5ob]

The big bag of cheetos (or any chips to be fair) are $1.75 at my corner store. 50 cents or 2 for one dollar for a small bag. Great deal in my opinion especially if you're a fan of chips.

[@queenofhearts27]

@@Jay-fu5ob depends on the size of the bag of cheetos.

[@queenofhearts27]

I agree it can go up to 4.99 a bag
