Canadian Snacks and Candy Taste Test SO MUCH FUN STUFF!

[@gregoryworth84]

"When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last ? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast ? Eat that candy coated chocolate , but tell me when I ask, when you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last" ...this jingle is embedded in every Canadian of my generation. Love the video !

[@matthewwilson9749]

Dude. I have my ear worm for today. You are very correct. It is embedded in my psyche.

[@CarolineinCanada]

I sang it too!! Born 1967 June 12th. Smarties used to be WAY BETTER!!! Now they taste like chemicals

[@andynieuwenhuis7833]

"These are Candy coated chocolates, But tell me when I ask".They DIDN'T Have the Hickory Sticks. I always like to get those, however I'm trying to stay AWAY From so much Sodium.

With chips, it's always good to turn the bag upside down and give it a couple of shakes. It redistributes the flavour crystals that settle on the bottom of the bag.

[@CourtneyLeighEats]

🤯🤯 uh yeah I’m definitely going to have to do that every time I eat chips from now on

[@gregoryblair9810]

I ate Mars bars in USA since the 60's, but around 80 they quit putting the whole almonds on top ( under the chocolate) so I quit. Haven't looked for them since. Being from Montana, we loved getting Cadbury chocolate from Canada.

[@robgrossi2368]

CRUNCHIE belongs in every Canadian snack taste session!

[@SimilakChild]

Yall didn't get the Hickory Sticks? they are the best! My favorite from the USA is the Olde English 800's its a 40oz beer in America that used to sell in Canada but not anymore. and the Chopped Cheese sandwiches in New York? OMG! They have it on the special menu at some of the Subway resturants but its just not the same as how its done in America. Also Canada does NOT have the Paqui One Chip Challenge. those things apparently cost like $10 in America and $100 in Canada.

[@SimilakChild]

Also what you call Smarties in America is called Rockets in Canada. you only see those sell at the dollar store or candy shop near Halloween.

[@majbrat]

The colors of Smarties are more subdued now than when I was a kid because they went away from the additives for coloring. They are best to me if you can suck on them for a bit, then the chocolate seems much tastier when melted. 😉

[@hidey1rogers614]

They tasted better before as well

[@m.mickeypayne9811]

When I was a kid in the 1970s, my friends and I would take the ferry boat up from Seattle to B.C. and bring back toffee and other kinds of candy that one cannot buy in the USA. 😊

Nice to see people introducing Canadian candy and snacks for Americans to try. Glad that Courtney liked the chips and chocolates.

Well they say everyone has a twin somewhere in the world..... 🙂

Hello from Prince Edward Island, Canada. This was fun. If I may offer a "next time" suggestion. Bring back a "Wunderbar" from Canada. If you like Reese's, you'll love Wunderbar (By Cadbury).

I will have to try it! Thanks so much for watching ☺️

That’s my favourite chocolate bar 🍫- especially when it’s super fresh! 🤤🤓👍

Caramilk had a buddy chocolate years ago called - RUM & BUTTER -. If you love the Caramilk you would have died for the rum & butter. They are the best deep-fried.

The mint aero are phenomenal

[@enfranks09]

Mars bars used to exist in the U.S., I used to eat them all the time back in the 80's. I stopped seeing them in the mid 90's. As for Ketchup chips, you can't get them in the U.S., in conventional grocery stores. Also, the best Ketchup chip brand is Old Dutch, also, it's a Canadian owned company and brand, wheras Lays is owned by Frito Lay, and is a U.S. Brand. For those with a dairy allergy, don't eat the Lays Ketchup chips, because they contain milk. Old Dutch is the way to go.

Re: Halloween - Guising (dressing up in costumes) first came to Canada from Ireland/Scotland. It then went to the US from Canada. Also, the phrase "trick or treat" originates in Canada.

EH YO!! Canadian here. I dont remember why but when i was a kid our schools made us go door to door selling Caramilk bars. They NEVER had the purple wraper!!

[@j2174]

Ketchup flavoured chips and All Dressed are both Canadian originated flavours. I think there is a company in upstate NY trying to call them Syracuse flavour or something.

[@paddington1670]

Old Dutch ketchup chips and Ruffles All Dressed are soooooo good.

Mars bars came on the Canadian scene years after our Malted Milk bars

[@msgypsyqueen]

As a Canadian, how can you not know that that is not the original chocolate AERO bar…?? THE WHITE ‘chocolate’ one is... gross 🤢

[@knightamongknaves]

Mondelez is a corporation (LLC?) , they do not "make" candy, they just profit from Sales and Marketing under their corporate conglomeration of multi-faceted candy manufacturers ... that's why they (Mondelez) keep the originating Brand name on the product, so consumers can identify the brands they are familiar with.

[@scottstrong700]

original aero is pure milk chocolate with out white chocolate

[@j2174]

Canada also has a similar candy/sweet to the US Smarties, however they are called Rockets.

[@steve_redman]

I honestly don't think I could pick a favourite candy from Maynards. The fuzzy peaches, Sour cherry blasters, sweedish fish and sweedish berries are all good. Was never a fan of wine gums growing up in the 80's/90's. My top 3 discontinued smacks that I would love to have back are taco bell or pizza hut doritos, nestle dibs and butterfinger BB's

Actually, M&Ms were copied from Smarties because they used to be part of the British/Canadian troops rations during WW1 and US troops got to taste the Smarties and somehow developed M&Ms when they got back to the states.

Everywhere in the world call a Mars bar, a Mars bar. ONLY in the States it's called Milky Way. Because of the fight the son had with his father, left the company and went on to invent M&M'S
