Wow Box Japanese Candy Taste Test August

[@angell1971]

I do so love the way you use your hand to try and show expressions on what you're experiencing. You're great, Tam!

[@molliereeves5686]

I laughed throughout this whole video and I love how you go "Oooh Aaaaah" at everything you crack me up 😂

[@TheLauchilein]

Ouh Tam, you need to watch the Fits gum ad, it's so funny! Japanese commercials never fail to make you laugh.

[@kylieeats1639]

I've never heard of WOW Box until now!

[@BoboLaTuque]

Good one, Tam. My wife even pause one of her favorite TV shows to watch this one. We both enjoyed it! Thanks

[@CheekyTam]

Thanks Robert : ) say hi to your wife for me I feel honored that she paused her favorite TV show for me. Hope you are both having a good week.

[@BoboLaTuque]

We are having a fabulous week, my dear. As of 59 minutes ago I am officially retired! in 3 days, we're having people over for a party to celebrate! Can you and your husband come? Probably not, but you ARE invited. Thanks, Tam.

[@lalutamma8207]

+CheekyTam Hi Tam 😉 As for うめ塩こんぶ (umeshiokonbu), what you find at the center of the candy is a dried plum. The candy is basically a mixture of plum and konbu seaweeds (kelp) ;) hugs from Italy ;)

[@sweetbabypls]

Loving your orange top and nails! Very pretty Tam!

[@CheekyTam]

Thanks Paula Orange is one of my favourite colours : )

[@APumpkinJess]

You never fail to make me laugh Tam

[@CheekyTam]

Thanks I'm glad I could brighten your day : )

[@canadianstudmuffin]

You brighten up A LOT of people's days, so always remember that. :)

[@TheCanadiangirl4]

This is very true

[@taryndancer29]

Loving the Canadian maple leaf in the background! Also loving the frequent uploads 😊

[@Presca1]

I would have kept the Caramel Corn bag, so cute!

[@tammydee9700]

Love seeing what's in the wow box.

[@tammydee9700]

Lol I love your thinking face. "Do I like it? I dunno..maybe?" ( this is what I think is going thru your mind lol!)

[@tammydee9700]

Have a great day when you wake from your slumber :0)

[@aanandhivb]

The way her reaction went from nice to bad when she ate that candy with leaf inside.!!!!

[@snowby157]

I think the twiggy barky inside is perelli leaves.

[@snowby157]

or shiso which maybe the same thing.

[@Rachel-wd1bj]

Hi Tam, I hope in the future I'll be able to send you some treats to try from Scotland. I know you've already done Scottish taste tests but it would be fun to watch another one. Love your videos!👍

[@GregsKitchen]

your face and the mango bricks haha

[@rajinimadan9903]

cheeky tams expression♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡

[@ClaydonGroom]

love it how you just throw away the packaging the box came in

[@Torniization]

Another great taste test vid Tam

[@1BlazinEagle1]

Fantastic Video Tam always funny watching ya reaction to those hollow crisps

[@CheekyTam]

Thanks mate : )

[@sierrathebookaddict6776]

I love your coral sweater and nails! We actually don't have lemon gum here in America, mostly cinnamon and fruits, and sweet tasting ones

[@sunflowerX13]

Not sure which America you are from but if you're from the states icebreakers makes a lemon gum. It's still quite sweet but it's a bit sour and has a touch of mint. Quite delicious.

[@sierrathebookaddict6776]

+sunflowerX13 I am from the states, hmm if never seen that one before,

[@heatherrennie6890]

Hello Cheeky Tam You look awesome in your Orange jumper and nails. That colour really suit you. It looks great when you held the drink Metts mango flavor. As it went with your outfit. very stylish Tam❤

[@CheekyTam]

Yes I do like to colour co-ordinate with the food : P

[@aaliyahhudson3510]

hey tam im from the UK!! i love watching your videos they make me laugh xx

[@CheekyTam]

Thank you so much Aaliyah : )

[@TimberBell]

Love your videos, love the color orange on you, love the nail polish.

[@CheekyTam]

Thanks you orange is one of my favorite colors it is very underrated as a color : )

[@didi1302]

Japanese treats are my favsss

[@yves2789]

I actually like the tohato strawberry corn maybe you should try them too.

[@Colormebrianna326]

pause at 2:37 and look at Tams face

[@ST-mi9zl]

i love your vids. and i wish i was you. because i wish i try new things around the world

[@melissaholman6909]

I love you Tam lol You're just as clumsy as I am

[@CheekyTam]

It is good that KZbin is here for me to share my clumsiness with the world : )

[@Rachel-wd1bj]

Everything looks tasty

[@CheekyTam]

Lots of tasty treats in his Wow box

[@jpwcpa]

Corn chips that are even slightly squiddy are too squiddy for me. I suppose if the manufacturer really wanted to draw attention to the squiddiness of the corn chips, they would have used a black food coloring to represent the squid ink. That coconut flavored caramel corn snack seems more like cheese doodles in size and texture, but without the orange powder and of course with a coconut taste rather than cheese. Looks interesting. Thanks for another fun video, Tam.

[@CheekyTam]

I don't mind squid but it just didn't work in corn chips for me. The coconut flavored caramel corn was tasty but yes they look like cheese doodles, a lot of the Japanese snacks are very deceptive with the way they look and some of the things I try (because of the language barrier) I never know if it is going to be sweet or savoury.

[@annebarbie9851]

Im inlove with your videos:))))

[@heatherrennie6890]

Hi again Cheeky Tam I've just been on that site Wow box and the lemon chewing gum you had was Fit's (Salt Lemon) Just in time for the summer, this special-edition gum combines the sour taste of lemon with a subtle salt taste. Also the chew you had with the funny taste in the middle was Ajiwai Puccho (Ume Sio Konbu) The beloved Japanese soft candy gets a traditional spin with this new variety , combining a hint of salt with the taste of sour plum. So the middle was sour plum not bark or leaves. I like the taste of sour plum it's weird and a funny taste for foreigner to get use to. Sekimoto Natural Pickled Plums with Perilla, 150 g £4.78 to eat with rice or Sokan Soft Dried Plum Snacks, 50 g £4.29 for snacking. from the Japan Centre in London but it doesn't ship outside UK and Ireland. Just thought you like the info also you can buy them from a Asian store or Amazon. sorry it's so long. take care Tam.

[@CheekyTam]

Hi Heather, I love your long comment and extra information it helps others who read through the comments and want more detail about the products I try. I don't usually read up about anything before I try it, I like to see if my taste buds will work out the flavors (sometimes they let me down, usually when I'm not familiar with an ingredient) but overall I do okay at working out flavors. What is interesting is that via doing these taste tests sometimes I can dislike a certain food or ingredient and then after retrying it later on I learn/grow to like it. I guess it really is about what foods we are use to. Hope you are having a good week.

[@heatherrennie6890]

+Cheeky Tam I wasn't showing you where to buy them just the information on what was in that sweet you had eaten. I got the information from the Wow box site and I thought you might like to know what Sour plum were. I think it's best to trust your taste buds first before you know what you are eating. I was trying to help out as sometimes you ask for information on things. I'm sorry if I got it wrong but I think you show is awesome and watch it everyone you add a video.

[@yves2789]

When i see your new video, i hit first the like button before watching it hahaha 😂

[@Presca1]

You know what would be cute, do a video that's nothing but blooper reels.

[@Presca1]

I think you have in the past, haven't you?

[@Peorhum]

Think so...sure I recall it. Showed her bra breaking or something.

[@manuelmiranda5077]

someone noticed that the music in the background 9:35 is from the ballet "The Nutcracker"

[@CheekyTam]

I noticed : )

[@canadianstudmuffin]

The two people who thumbed down this video have no life. I have no life, but I thumbed up the video! :D

[@CheekyTam]

Thanks Larry, 2 people are extremely jealous of a middle aged woman getting to eat candy and enjoying herself.

[@phanicandaslothatthedisco2596]

+Cheeky Tam True :)

[@ClaydonGroom]

+Cheeky Tam haha lol

[@samanthaevans4231]

squid corn chips I do believe.

[@mr.willie9578]

awesome video

[@SelanneFan8]

I love playing a guessing game of your reactions because sometimes your expressions don't match your thoughts (you've said this before but I agree! Lol) so I guess "is she going to say it's really nice or is her face accurate that she's not a fan?" Lol

[@kr8bureau996]

You SO need to do an Austrian taste test!

[@MidnightPearl1974]

loved this video!

[@CheekyTam]

: D thanks

[@KennyDavenport]

Perfect video Tam, and you are Absolutely Awesome........... well, almost perfect...... and you know why.😉

[@CheekyTam]

Yes lots of Oooooos haha

[@norhamiezah6343]

+Cheeky Tam try another malaysian food😊

[@gangstathuglife5733]

you should do a canadian taste teste

[@CheekyTam]

I will be doing another Canadian taste test very soon thanks to one of my lovely KZbin friends : )

[@vaishnavim4923]

I think the snack at 8:22 was takoyaki based snack

[@HEYITSKATHYA]

You should try more Mexican treats.

[@CheekyTam]

Yes I should. I'd love to try more Mexican treats but they are extremely difficult to get seems there are not a lot of places that post Mexican treats to Australia (which is a shame because I love that crazy spicy/sweet combo)

[@annettesh75]

Dang it, now I want sweets. I try not to eat sugar...and live vicariously through you, but I almost always go get one nibble after watching you. I figure thats one lap at the pool, I guess I can handle that.

[@CheekyTam]

I usually go for a walk after I've done a taste test.

[@annettesh75]

Cheeky Tam Well...you can afford to eat sweets with your fit frame. Me...I need to lose some. My 41st birthday is coming up first week of October and I would like to drop 15 pounds. Even though it doesn't help my sweet tooth to watch your videos....I love them, they make me laugh so its totally worth it.

[@kylieeats1639]

I wanted to know what kind of camera do you use?

[@CheekyTam]

Hi Kylie I use a JVC HD Camcorder Model GZ-EX555BAA (I've had it for a few years now it is very reliable) there are more expensive better video cameras out there but it's been good to me and my editing software is Power Director 11 : )

[@kylieeats1639]

cool thanks for letting me know! power director 11, i've never heard of that.

[@add888-o2u]

Cool video

[@CheekyTam]

Thank you so much Rose : )

[@penguinchick6563]

cheers tam, i'm not on my best week...LOL

[@CheekyTam]

LOL well they can't all be best weeks. Hugs

[@beautyventure.001]

u look so pretty here, 💞

[@vainavimalar7162]

the green stuff is seaweed

[@CheekyTam]

Someone in the comments said the green stuff inside was perelli leaves. I've never heard of them before but it might be as I could not work out the flavor. Like you I thought it might have been seaweed but it didn't taste like it.

[@jamesfry8983]

now coming to Australia Tam proof packing for all your you tube amusement

[@CheekyTam]

I think it is the added pressure of having to open something on camera (well I'm going with the excuse)

[@BazTheStoryteller]

The bit where you're talking about burping, have you seen The BFG? There's a funny scene involving "whizzpopping".

[@CheekyTam]

No I haven't seen the BFG yet I plan to : )

[@TicciLil]

[@nicolehirsch7440]

The corn chips are squid I could tell bye the pic

[@nicolehirsch7440]

By

[@annettefournier9655]

Ewwww, squid corn chips, Ewwww. Yeah, not a fan of dry salty comes from the sea stuff. Never could convince myself to like those little dry salty shrimp either. Guess I just like my seafood fresh! Tam you make the same face my daughter does with wierd textured things. Although she will just spat it out. lol

[@CheekyTam]

Dried sea flavored things are a hit and miss with me sometimes it is like the sea has curled up and died in them.

[@annettefournier9655]

I worked in a fish market for a year right out of high school and I got very elitist about my sea food from then on. Of course after work on the way home you could smell me coming a block away like the sea curled up and died on me!! I bathed in a metric ton of lemon juice that year. Should have bought stock in citrus commodities. I think I supported the entire industry. Lol

[@CheekyTam]

annette fournier Thank you so much for sharing that story with me I laughed so much.

[@annettefournier9655]

+Cheeky Tam Lol, your welcome. Just one of the not so nice jobs that got me to college. Regardless, my very large family ate REALLY well THAT year! Ha!

[@BeckyStevens10]

so early for once😂

[@vaishnavim4923]

first!!

[@vaishnavim4923]

yay! ❤❤

[@CheekyTam]

Yay first!

[@vaishnavim4923]

+Cheeky Tam yaaay!! ❤❤❤

[@superptrc12]

soooo earlyyyy :)

[@CheekyTam]

: D

[@Amber-kw7wr]

if she actually read the pamphlet then she'd know what everything was?????

[@CheekyTam]

True. I usually don't read the pamphlet because I like to see if I can guess the flavors and make my own decision about it without the influence of the wording on the written pamphlet.
