"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.

[@skruface]

We have American "Smarties" in Canada, but up here they're called "Rockets"

[@jethro1963]

Can't be a full Canadian taste test without the Vachon family of fine products: Jos Louis, Ah, Caramel, Passion Flakie, Billot Log, 1/2 Moon to name a few

She recently brought me back some more snacks, so hopefully some of those are in there 😎

I love it! She recently brought me back some potato chips and other snacks, so we should hopefully be doing a part two!

Old Dutch are the OG of ketchup chips and are the best lol

I prefer lays ketchup but Old Dutch All Dressed not ruffles.

[@paddington1670]

yup too true

[@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. 😉

[@Green28142814]

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

[@robgrossi2368]

CRUNCHIE belongs in every Canadian snack taste session!

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@user-rd7cj9zt7y]

The original kethcup chips are Old Dutch. Lay's are good and many prefer them, but they're not OG.

[@johnvermette9466]

Was watching reactions to canadian snacks, and your video popped up, and I'm really glad I watched it! I'm from Quebec and I loved your reactions! You gained a new subscriber! Keep up the work, and looking froward for more canadian snacks reaction, hopefully the whole Vachon Family lines of cakes... created in Québec, might I add... ;) the Jos Louis chocolate cream filled cake... the Demi-Lune vanilla cream filled half cake...and many more! Much love and respect from Montmagny, Québec! xo

Thank you!!I can't wait to do another one. I showed my friend this comment so she can try to grab some of those items!

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).

[@CourtneyLeighEats]

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

[@msgypsyqueen]

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

[@Moxx3]

Well here's something I don't see very often - another Islander!! It's rare to find one of us, since there are so few :)

[@paddington1670]

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

[@sadee1287]

Nice to see people introducing Canadian candy and snacks for Americans to try. Glad that Courtney liked the chips and chocolates. PS: Wanted to mention - Marta, you are the spitting image of the actress Hallee Hirsh who played (the older) "Rachel Greene" on the series "ER." Well they say everyone has a twin somewhere in the world..... 🙂

[@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.

[@CourtneyLeighEats]

This is all good to know, thank you!!

Been living in the US for a few years now, but anytime my family and I go up for a visit to Canada, we always bring back so many snacks, ranging from Smarties, Coffee Crisp, All Dressed Chips, cheezies, etc. We stock up when we make the trip.

[@AndreVandal]

There is a historical story behind the Red Ones Last and why they made the commercial. But it's a long story.

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

[@marshabailey772]

Love you guys! Regular aero is chocolate on the inside not white. Krispy krunch is a bit like a butter finger...corn flakes PB and hard candy. Delish. Great selection.

Not sure if this is a " Canadian " chocolate bar... it's called "Crunchie " by Cadbury. They are soooooooooo good and addictive !!!!

original aero is pure milk chocolate with out white chocolate

I have been eating Mars Bars here in the US since I was a kid and I'm 54

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.

[@CourtneyLeighEats]

That sounds incredible🤤

[@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.

[@Jo81562]

Caramilk my very favourite

Hello Courtney Leigh my name is Gabriel from USA America Nice I've tried all of the Canadian snacks food and drinks from Canada man I want to say I love Canadian food snacks and drinks I especially love poutine poutine is my favorite dinner but I've never tried ketchup flavored lays even tho I ordered some last Saturday it doesn't come until Tuesday April 30th I'm super excited to try it and when I do try it I'll let you ladies know how it turned out Canada is my future home to move to I'm American who likes anything Canadian my preference are Canadian women other than my own kind ?

[@Vlc506]

Suck on the smarties, you can’t do that with M & Ms. Cadbury is a British company that’s why the British countries get them and not the U.S. Mars bars are also good frozen.

[@CourtneyLeighEats]

Now I wish I hadn’t finished them all 😂

[@leogiroux6751]

You know what the USA has a lot more than Canada does cereal selection

It use to be a commercial actually. With different people or a robot doing intro and kids singing Corus. kzbin.info/www/bejne/inKtpnWFqbmjm7M “When you eat your smarties , do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly? Or crunch them ver fast? Eat that candy coated chocolate. But tell me when I ask. When you eat your smarties do you eat the red ones last”.

All dressed is a combination of the four original classic flavours. Bbq, salt and vinegar, ketchup and sour cream and onion.

All-Dressed because they are dressed with all the original flavors mixed.. Canadian Smarties = US M&Ms, US Smarties = Canadian "Rockets" only seen in halloween candy

Yes Old Dutch Ketchup are the OG, not even close, boot to Lays!

[@kevinmills5492]

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.

[@daveb947]

I hate coffee and love Coffee Crisp. lol. Also, Pringles are good dipped in ketchup. Also Munchos. >_>

[@CourtneyLeighEats]

The coffee crisp were so good!! And wait, now I want to try that 😅 and need to try whatever munchos are

[@daveb947]

@@CourtneyLeighEats Munchos are a really greasy and salty potato chip. They were just basic plain and i think theyve added some new flavours. Edit - plain Pringles are best with ketchup. No flavours to muddle it up. And Munchos can be hard to find. They vanished for about 5 years for me in Canada. lol.

[@JungleScene]

for the chips. hostess or old dutch would be more authentically canadian. especially for ketchup and all dressed flavours. lays are NOT the og, lays is an american brand. ruffles are also acceptable but not as canadian as hostess or old dutch.

[@J1WE]

Specially selected potatoes do matter. Do you realize how many different types of potatoes there are? They come in many colors and starchiness and textures. Some better for mashed, some better for frying and some for french fries(Mcds has a specific type), Some better for mashed etc.. so it is important Smarties used to be better flavor candy coating. Now it taste weird IMO

[@msgypsyqueen]

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

[@Bearhoff]

Quite certain Old dutch is the OG ketchup chip.

[@toddstevens13]

Never "eat" an Aero, ever. Place it on your tongue and let the various nuances of it carry you away as it dissolves on your tongue.

Pretty ladies. If you ever come to Canada i'll gladly show you around. ;)

[@seanhanley7777]

Im canadian. Dont do lays when when testing. Lays is the worst chip in canada go with old dutch

Smarties used to taste better and be brighter colours but now there are no artificial colours and they don’t look or taste quite as good.
