[@jackiecarranco2195]

Oh my childhood just flashed before my eyes. My Mom had a little neighborhood candy store in the back of our house. We sold candy bars, candy, cookies, chips and drinks. All these were there except a few and I have tried all of them. The Carmel Creams and Payday are my favorites. Thanks guys and thanks to Sheena and Ryan for sending them.

[@mindysmom6132]

Jackie Carranco.....Awesome that your mom had a neighborhood candy store! What a great childhood sister! So many awesome memories! ♥️

[@jackiecarranco2195]

@@mindysmom6132 Great memories, but she wouldn't let us help ourselves. We had to earn it believe me. We got to see all the neighborhood kids and catch up on the gossip. Hope you are having a good day Sister. My doctor says if I continue to lose weight and exercise I can come off my oxygen at the first of the year. Praise the Lord.

[@mindysmom6132]

Jackie Carranco......Love that your mom taught you responsibility. ♥️ You were the IT house for kids to hang out at! Sister! That’s great news! Continued prayers for you! Today is a good day for me, thank you for asking. ♥️

[@ItsPennyLanee]

I think there’s a law in America now where you can’t put prizes in food, because of the choking hazard. Childhood will never be the same.

[@joannegray5138]

I think that's why Kinder Surprise eggs were banned over there.

[@mindysmom6132]

PennyLane......You’re so right, however, as of late, Kinder Eggs are now being sold at our local 7-Eleven, and I’ve seen them at our local Japanese market as well.

[@ItsPennyLanee]

Mindy's Mom Really? Interesting. I’ve only ever seen the kinders with the toy separate from the chocolate part.

[@xnonsuchx]

You can get "Kinder Joy" eggs (which have 2 halves...1 w/ the treat and 1 w/ the toy) everywhere in the US, but I think the normal "Kinder Surprise" eggs w/ the plastic capsule inside the whole chocolate egg shell can only be bought at some specialty import shops. I know I've had a few 'real' ones, but can't remember where I got them. Not sure if those were legal, though...maybe the import shop(s) just didn't know.

[@rydactyl]

I remember wonderballs were so cool, but they disappeared! Maybe that's why I stopped seeing cereal with prizes too.

[@PhantomOfDarkness]

andes candies are seriously the best mint bars i've ever had...the taste is so pleasant and you get a really enjoyable taste with every bite.

[@DefectiveMatrix]

I remember the Original Lemon Heads, you're right Shinichi they did use to be different and more sour lol

[@leawoodard-brock4341]

Yup when I was a kid they were tart and so good. About 10 years ago I had some and they were just basically sugar flavored. Dull.

[@richardd.2988]

They also were shaped more like an actual lemon.

[@beccaridge2598]

Omg I love the reactions he said "what that's the prize" lmao🤣🤣🤣and the licorice 🤢🤣

[@RsCloe]

I love the t shirts! Such wonderful representatives for the lgbt+ community in Japan 💗🌈

[@JackBlack-yo1vs]

"What is that... Licorice!!!!" Cried laughing

[@JMarieCAlove]

Those candies brought back so many memories, my grandparents owned a local neighborhood market, called the Eastside Market in Central California... when my grandmother would babysit me and my older brother, we were about 4 and 5 years old, my grandmother worked behind the counter, there was lots of the same candies you tried that she would let us pick out when we were at her store. My moms favorite was Necco’s! It was fun playing out in the back cottage with other kids and also choosing whatever we wanted but my grandmother made sure we ate fruit and not just candy all the time. Great memories! 💖😁

[@SailorVdizzle]

Bleccchhhhh I cannot do Necco wafers anymore lol. I used to eat them when I was younger, but they taste like straight up chalk to me now 😂

[@HayTatsuko]

You know those wonderful Sweethearts, the Valentine's sweet chalk candy with the pithy sayings on them? NECCO makes those, too! I wonder what's going to happen to the New England Confectionery Company now, though. They shut down their plant back in July (having been bought by one company and then sold to another), but the newest owner says the candies will be back, sometime.

[@SailorVdizzle]

J.R. Caldoon Yep!! They do!! But sadly I heard the company is going out of business 😞

[@Foxtrick]

they are icky. but they are good to use when you are making gingerbread houses...

[@angelachouinard4581]

@@HayTatsuko Don't know if you'll see this and maybe you've seen them again in stores but Spangler brought the Sweethearts, Necco Wafers and Canada Mints (my grandpop's favorite) back again.

[@Nomhle.]

Great shirts!

[@tinselbmerryweather]

Nomhle Nondabula are they a couple?? They are so cute together

[@benbither4363]

[@whitneysanders6996]

Just out of curiosity is there a special pride thing this month or something only asked since they had corresponding shirts?

[@offthesidelines]

@@whitneysanders6996 they wear matching shirts sometimes... and I think Pride month in Japan was back in spring/summer so either this was recorded months ago or they just felt like wearing them.

[@rebeccacroswell9474]

Love the shirts and Satoshis glasses! Great match! And great vid, thanks again guys 😍

[@holotori_senior_admin_teno]

I remember every single one of these from when I was a kid. Nerds were so cool after they came out amongst kids.

[@toye1647]

The maker of the Bullseye caramel also make a candy called Cow Tails that are the same candy made into long ropes. My mother used to share these with her grandchildren as she walked out on the pier in North Carolina. Thank you for sharing your candies with us and bringing back special memories.

[@feslenraster]

Hmm I made a comment about Cracker Jacks, maybe didn't save? There's an American baseball song where these are always served as a snack at all games "Peanuts and Cracker Jacks I don't care if I ever get back..." etc

[@SlipperyGirlMag]

I love Payday. This brought back memories. Thanks for this.

[@evelina1803]

I loved Satoshi's reaction to licorice😂😍

[@Mah_Na_Mah_Na]

The look on Satoshi's face of pure disbelief of chewing wax was priceless. Nerd's are yummy! Whatchamacallit is my favorite... I was 7 when they came out. The brown ones are called tootsie rolls. I like the fruit chews much more. Zots fizz on the inside!! They are weird and awesome at the same time! Kinda like pop rocks. I love Boston baked beans as well. Lemonheads have changed the way they are made. I remember them being sour lemon drops rolled is a sour sugary powder. I hated them cause my face would screw up so hard from the sour it would actually made my face muscles hurt so bad. My family would laugh so hard at the faces I would make. Hell they still do.

[@amaaltarek9023]

13:39 when Shinichi said " you wanna explain to our friends why " instead of saying our fans or viewers like other youtubers I felt like we're family not just two of the nicest youtubers and their fans.. love you guys so much

[@Kas-S]

Wow you brought back a lot of memories with those candies. I definitely indulged in quite a few of them in my day. My favorites were the whatchamacallit, the lemon heads. and the nerds

[@tracysmith1871]

A trip to my childhood. Thank you guys so much ❤️. You look like you enjoyed most of them.

[@tokyorosa]

Satoshi's face when he gets the licorice flavored Necco wafer!! LOLOLOLOLO!!! (I hate licorice, too, so I would be very sad if I got licorice in my mouth.) I used to love Payday, but I haven't had one in fifteen years or more.

[@mahakali1810]

I LOVE your shirts!!!! And I like the nostalgic feeling from your videos.

[@harmonydesroches]

Your shirts!!! Love love love!!! Also, Satoshi's face when he tasted licorice... poor guy!

[@emalinel]

lol Satoshi's "sour face" is very adorable x3

[@illfayted]

I remember buying the tiny boxes of Boston baked beans, Lemonheads and jaw busters from the convenience store as a kid. They weren't my favorite candies, but they were the cheapest, so I could buy more with the little spare change I had. I don't remember the Boston baked beans being that smooth on the outside.

[@bryanobrien2726]

Yes , the small boxes only cost 10 cents when I was little . My favorite was Alexander the Grape . Similar to Lemonheads , but the flavor was a tart grape instead . The rough type of Boston Baked Beans were called "French Burnt Peanuts" . They were better tasting than Boston Baked Beans and sold by other companies , I used to buy the Brach's type that came in a little baggie .

[@hgrace0]

This was fun to see candies that I didn’t remember until I saw them. Lots I didn’t recognize until they opened the candy

[@nina-nl8vz]

I love you guys so much! ❤💛💚💙💜

[@LilBit-more]

Omg! I remembered Nerds! I used to love them.

[@bighatstephens]

Whatchamacallits where launched in 1978. One of my favorites when I was a kid in the 80's. We always got Andes after eating at our favorite Chinese Restaurant. Baked Beans and Lemon-heads where the cheapest candy unless you got Jolly Rancher sticks. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. ;)

[@wendylissolo9783]

I know this is an old video but interesting fact ... they used to pack these Boston baked beans in the cans of soldier rations wrapped in a small parchment paper bag back in the 40’s. I saw this on a ration review and they were perfectly preserved. Love your channel. 🧡🖤🧡🖤

[@geode8556]

Many of these are childhood memories and movie theater favs. Just need a fat hotdog, bucket of popcorn an a drink! I'll be happy for life 💘 My Necco fav is the brown one (malt choco flav). These are my convince stores next to my grade school, Ewa Beach Elementary School, Hawaii). You know they do sell an entire roll of only this flavor. 😘 Cracker Jacks used to have real toys and trinkets, but now only stickers😞 Boston Baked Beans, I was only exposed to them after graduating tech school and moving to Cali. I found at movie theaters. The wax drinks, I also found near my Elementary School convenient store! Ooh, such memories...😋 Found Payday about 20 years ago. Love it! York peppermint paties is my fav. I get them at the movies (boxed bite sized).😋mmm can't wait to go back to the movies! Yes, Tootsie Pops is my primal memory. Yes, it's tootsie roll inside. Tootsie Rolls were everywhere!😘 Thanks for the memories! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 ✌😎👌💞💞💞💞💞

[@sandyamaulana2317]

Great video! I love Payday and Goetze's bullseyes, too! The only things I would get from a vending machine.

[@tonyafoodfamilyfriendsandf8192]

I bet you guys will be pinging off the walls, very nostalgic!!!🤣😂💕

[@tracititus9791]

Made me sooo happy 💝☺️! I had forgotten about some of these. Smiled the whole time.

[@charli.ward.]

Andes and caramel cremes were my favorite, I still buy them often

[@SailorVdizzle]

My sister lives about 5 minutes from the Tootsie Roll factory in Chicago! 😄 I absolutely love Tootsie Rolls, they taste like my childhood in the Chicago suburbs ❤️

[@citehman]

the Andes Mints and Caramel Creams were the best but in our house they were only served to guests/visitors or on special occasions so they were a special treat. the big candy we ate when i was a kid between the ages of like 5-12 yrs was bubble gum. adults used chewing gum(thin sticks) but kids chewed thicker pieces of gum, or gum balls or big slabs of gum. another favorite was the Atomic Fire Ball which was a hard cinnamon flavored ball that got hotter the longer you left it in your mouth. the challenge was to try to leave it in your mouth even when it got super hot.

[@HayTatsuko]

what a great trip down Memory Lane! I love those caramel creams too, Satoshi! unfortunately, the company that made NECCO Wafers -- New England Confectionery Company -- is not in operation as of my last check. They were purchased back in May by another company, which then sold it in July to a third company, which promptly shut down the candy plant. The new owners have said they will bring back NECCO Wafers, Sweethearts (Valentine's day candy hearts with little sayings on them) , and Canada Mints (wintergreen mints), though!

[@Bi11yKap1an]

Necco wafers originated in New England, where I am from. They are one of my favorite candies.

[@constantcomment1954]

That was hilarious, it brought me back to my childhood! We used to visit the 1 cent candy store and pick out all the pieces of candy we wanted. I also loved the caramels with the cream centers and wintergreen cigarettes. My husband loves Satoshi and anybody who loves beer!

[@LisaMarli]

I'm a Snickers fan myself. But I do have 3 rolls of Necco wafers in the house for munching. And I love the shirts. Yes, Equality for all.

[@wiboxermom7829]

'Satoshi's face when you were explaining the Nips was awesome. I never understood them either. Tried chewing the wax a few times but yuck! Baked beans we called burnt beans.

[@Shimmer5Oart]

I just wanna hug Satoshi and protect him from all the liquorish

[@Princessmom9]

I really liked the Tootsie Fruit Chews but my all time favorite are the Charleston Chews. The Andes we only had at Thanksgiving and Christmas times. I also like the Caramel Creams and will buy them when I can find them.

[@determineddi2044]

Another amazingly fun video! Charlston Chews used to be longer and yes, we froze them, then broke them into pieces.

[@Jigglysaint]

They still are, and yeah, they do taste better frozen.

[@feslenraster]

hahahaha I knew Satoshi-san hate licorice with the Neco wafers...I remember them! Yep, Shinichi's absolutely right, Crackerjacks used to have REAL toys in the boxes (plastic G.I. Joe like things). Also 'junk' food means bad food-unhealthy food for you: candies, chips etc. I think Shinichi was thinking of something called lemon drops, but they were shaped differently, I had the super sour ones as well. I've had "Nerds" ;). Also in most hotels and some motels in America the cleaning service often left an Andes mint for new guests.

[@soul_asmr]

I love the PRIDE shirts 😭😭😭💓💓💓✨✨✨

[@katiehass4666]

Satisfied has the best facial expressions today. I remember almost all of these candies from my childhood. They still sell watchamacalit at my local grocery store.

[@SailorVdizzle]

Fun story, I bought a pack of Nik-L-Nip and forgot it, half open, in the back seat of my car. Seats were cloth, the wax melted and I'm sure you can imagine what happened next lol.

[@AshesAshes44]

Did you try the paper towel and iron trick to get it out?

[@7passionstar]

What a fun video! I've been around almost as long as most of these candies 😁 and my favorite used to be Payday. I don't have the teeth for them now, tho. 😆 Thank you both for being such lovely people. 💖

[@tomsawyer2007]

Cracker Jack's came about in the early 1900s from two brothers who used their grandmother's treat and decided to market it. Their friend tried it and said it's a "Cracker Jack's" which back then meant its a winner. Hence the name.

[@VeryCherryCherry]

I love Tootsie Rolls and Pops. Inside the pops is the original Tootsie roll, chocolate. I LOVE the Fruit Chews! For the longest time, at least in Ontario, you'd only see them in bags of variety candies at Halloween. Now you can find them year round.

[@serioushex3893]

watching this again, 4 years later. they have chocolate covered payday bars now, and they're so good. the original is great too, but the chocolate is so nice on it.

[@sqrboro]

Olive Garden has been giving out Andes with the check for as long as I've been alive! (I'm 30)

[@NikkiM93]

The caramel creams are my all time favourite candy, I love them :).

[@aliciamcginley3275]

Yum, I have tried all the candy in this video. I loved the zotz the most, much love.

[@lisathaviu1154]

I’m dating myself, but for me, Halloween meant wax lips, Turkish Taffy, those liquid filled pop bottles, the occasional Three Musketeer bar, and candy cigarettes. At least they still have the Nickel Nips and the Three Musketeers.

[@lordwalker71]

I have never seen an Andes bar, only the individual pieces. I love mint chocolate so they are a favourite of mine, I love the orange and cherry tootsie pop.

[@justme002]

Neco Wafers have 8 flavors and they're all chalk.

[@Washclothington]

Another wonderful video guys! I'm a big fan of the Goetze's Caramel Creams. Hadn't seen Zotz in years. Gotta find some. If you get the chance check out Chowards (especially the Scented Gum or Violet Mints). More really good retro candies. Another wonderful video guys!

[@offthesidelines]

Shinichi you kept saying Tootsie Pop when you were describing Tootsie Roll lol! Some these candies can also be easily found in Canada, I grew up with Tootsie Rolls/Pops and loooved the fruity ones when I discovered them in my teens (mid 90s-early 2000s). Also loved Nerds, they were super popular as much with kids as with teens; I'd get so excited whenever new flavours came out! Love the tshirts by the way! (And Satoshi's funny expressions hahaha!)

[@lucydasilva9198]

That 'Payday' bar looks heavenly!

[@luonajgarroutte212]

My all time favorite candy as a child was Wacky Wafers, especially the banana one. I was very sad when they quit making them but now they are back and just as yummy as ever. I also like Smarties, Milk duds, Whoppers and Sugar babies. You should try those. 😀

The Necco Wafers look similar to something in the UK, called Refreshers - only, Refreshers are a lot thicker. I love mint chocolates too. When I was little, I would always have a whole box of After Eight mints in my Christmas stocking and I used to eat them as I watched the Wizard of Oz on TV (the BBC used to show this film every Christmas Day, straight after the Queen's Speech).

You have been wearing them in a few videos, but I never said anything but now I have to because you look so handsome. :). Now, on to the video! I loved this video because it brought me back to my childhood. A few of them I have never tried, like to Boston Baked Beans or the Necco Wafers, but I would be willing to try them. I LOVED your reactions to the Zots. Those are my favorite. And I didn't even think they made Whatchamacallits anymore, but I really loved those too. Thanks for another awesome video.

[@themiccrazy]

I love Necco wafers. They stopped making them but so many people complained they brought them back. Paydays are my favorite candy bar.

[@somewhatgirly]

I've never had the Boston baked beans nor the Lemonheads or the zotz. My favorite candy is growing up of what you had here in the episode were definitely the Tootsie Roll Fruit Chews. The only time we ever got them was at Halloween and I would always get all of the Fruit Chews and keep them. Satoshi's Expressions made me laugh so much
