Japanese Trying Canadian Snacks

[@craftsandcards]

As a Canadian ...I have tried every one of these snacks. I was waiting to see the look on your faces when you tried the Thrills gum...lol...I think it is awful...this was a very good selection of Canadian treats....thanks for sharing Satoshi and Shinichi.

[@Justalittleguy3848]

I have never tried thrills But there supposed to taste like soap

[@henrysu5741]

Thrills gum was what we used as kids to prank our friends when they would ask to share our gum.

I ove Thrills and Hickory Sticks

"Let me cleanse my palate... with beer" is a very Canadian thing to say 😂

[@VictorLugosi]

“British” Canadians can’t drink, I’ve been there..

[@adambeckdesign]

@@VictorLugosi Lol, not in comparison to Brits! I moved to the UK over 5 years ago and I remember coming in with the attitude of, "ha, now I get to show these islanders how to really drink!" Long story short ... they needed no help and I was put in my place. That's not to say that we Canucks don't know how, but we're certainly not on the same level. In Toronto, at least, we definitely drink on Friday and Saturday. BBQs, weekend getaways, on the beach, we're not without our booze. Perhaps even after work during the week we'll sneak in a beer. Maybe two. This is all entry level compared to Britain, lol. In my first month of work I found out any time is a good time for a pint. Out for lunch with the colleagues? Well, that's a pint! After work with the boss? There's no way you're walking out without at least 2. If the boss isn't there, you're looking at 3-5. Basically, any day and any occassion is the perfect time for a pint. In Canada, you would never roll in to work hungover and have a conversation with your boss about said hangover. You would regret your choices, soldier through, and avoid any mention of alcohol. In the UK, not only will your boss not judge you for drinking the previous night, they'll probably counter with a recent night out of their own. Fine, most of the popular draught beers you find in pubs are in the 3-4.5% range ... but that still adds up after 4+. With most pubs shutting around 10pm, as well, that's a lot of booze in a short amount of time. TLDR: Brits can and do drink! A lot! It's not a sport. It's not a rite of passage or a boast. It's just a thing that is done. And who can blame them? Once you've grown accustomed to the welcoming coziness of a good pub, it's hard to go back to social life prior.

Sakura-Maple isn't the type of syrup, it's the name of the company which has its roots in Japanese-Canadian-American products. It basically is like a label for products that are shared among the three regions.

it is very nice to see a canadian snacks video that features them. i don't know why, but most of the canadian snack trying videos i've seen don't feature them.

Canadian weighing in here: this is probably the most well balanced Canadian snack hauls I’ve seen. It is a bit Ontario centric, but I’m from Ontario so I’m not mad about it!

[@TyrellPatrick]

you can get all the same things out here in BC but 100% thye've gotten the best snack ive seen so far

[@micherunnett5492]

Ya like the Beer selection will probably have Canadians throwing in their regional top picks

[@jessf2660]

Tyrell Patrick ya totally, what they picked is wildly available country wide which is why I think it’s a good representation. Rather then say the Pineapple Crush you can only really get in Newfoundland.

[@offthesidelines]

Other than the beer I think the rest can easily be found all across Canada. As a Quebecoise I've had pretty much every snack in this video several times and see them all the time, with exception of the Thrills and ginger ale (because I don't like them) and the beer.

Not as long as the scent of ketchup chips though. And let's not forget the colour it leaves behind lol.

Where I am in Winnipeg, we have a snow festival in February that takes heated maple syrup and you make a sort of syrup roll up popsicle in the snow. They're very good and fun to make. All you need is snow, a popsicle stick and an appetite for sweets.

Love you guys both! Another great video please keep up the good work. Stay safe during these trying times

[@debkosteniuk1]

Hello Satoshi & Shinichi: I love your videos and the two of you! So wonderful seeing you eat treats that I have loved for years and have enjoyed many times myself here in Canada. Thrills gum was my favourite as a kid. The Sakura Maple Syrup is a Grade A, Colour 2 syrup which means it has a dark rich flavour and deeper colour than a Grade A Colour 1 syrup (which is more golden in colour and is the maple syrup most familiar to people). Grade A1 maple was probably used in the maple cream cookies. Thank you for sampling and commenting, your comments are always thoughtful and enjoyable. Stay well and be happy.

[@sevykitty]

Coffee crisp is the best! My family used to go to Canada all the time and we’d always bring back a ton of coffee crisps

[@Azalynnnn]

ginger ale is made with ginger. Ginger ale is often drank while sick as it's a good substitute for fruit juices, especially if you stir it a bit to make it flat. It makes it easier to drink. I loved this video watching my favourite treats! Wunderbar has been my favourite chocolate bar since I was little!!

[@stevesech5421]

the sap gathering later in the season the darker syrup comes after the boiling process.

Thank you for exploring Canadian snacks. You had a lot of favorites that we enjoy. Hoping one day you both are able to do more videos like this. Stay healthy and eat well!

I love dipping Lay’s into ketchup, so I know that I would love those chips! I think our local Trader Joe’s carries those maple cookies, if I’m not mistaken, and they’re so delicious!

A very nice assortment of canadian treats. Dare maple cream cookies are a regular treat in our home.

[@joerp8215]

There are different grades of maple syrup, from golden to dark. Maple water is not made from different trees but simply cooked for different durations, which makes the syrup more or less concentrated in flavor. Medium (or ambré as we call it in Que) is my absolute favorite :)

[@montanerdz]

Coffee crisp with a small glass of milk. Yummm

The maple syrup was probably called Sakura Maple, cause maple syrup is usually harvested in the spring, usually around the mid to end of March.

[@BronsonSlayer]

Hey guys!! Love your videos!! I just wanted to comment on the Moose crossing sign. I live in the capital city of the province of Alberta, Canada. I've personally witnessed a moose running at full speed in the culvert next to the highway that outlines the city. They grow to be absolute giants, & do pose a serious risk if they suddenly appear on the road. Most of the time you'd be traveling at speeds anywhere from 100-120 km/hr when they suddenly appear. But they are magnificent animals, & always a pleasure to see

[@soufflegrl]

I am no where near Canada in Southwest America, but I know I have had some of those treats as a kid in the '70s-80s. Probably something one of my relatives who like to travel brought back I would assume. I know for sure I had the wagon wheels, because I used to think it was a funny name as a kid. I used to love syrup as a kid, but these days I love the flavor of pancakes without syrup... and it makes them easier to eat too. :)
