"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.

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.

[@mokeyo8382]

I ove Thrills and Hickory Sticks

[@jessf2660]

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.

[@BronsonSlayer]

@@jessf2660 Pineapple Fanta in Alberta now. Just saw it the other day

[@PixelleHearts]

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.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

Oh, thanks for the knowledge drop! Love comments like this. lol Always good to learn something. :D

[@haplosdream]

i have been eating hickory sticks for over 40 years. my favorite snack.

[@Shearper2]

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.

[@GingerBun]

@@Shearper2 I feel the opposite, they're included in a lot of Canadian snack packages but people here dont really eat them often.

[@MisterRorschach90]

A few years ago when I was craving French fries and ketchup but didn’t have any or any money, I decided to dip potato chips into ketchup and realized if it’s salty enough it tastes the same. Ever since then my life has been shit and I can’t take myself seriously.

[@bkmur4713]

jordan secrist Try dipping plain chips in vinegar maybe? Good luck.

Completely different but equally delicious! :)

KETCHUP CHIPS YEEEEEES! No one does ketchup chips in Canadian snack taste tests, so excited!!! Edit: you guys should also try and make Nanaimo Bars, that is a Canadian snack too, and it's really good!

[@Erudisia]

I can’t make Nanaimo bars, I end up eating the whole pan and getting sick hahahahah

[@kimu8639]

And butter tarts

[@Shearper2]

as someone from nanaimo, i can confirm this. very delicious, especially if you put some nice crispy bacon bits into the chocolate layer. there is a local restaurant that makes their own and does that. very, very good.

i like to send to u

[@GingerBun]

pls try presidents choice brand ketchup chips :) or ketchup doritos if you ever get the chance

[@plowe7981]

I’ve never had the Lays ketchup chips. I always buy the Old Dutch brand.

[@PREPFORIT]

I have several of these snacks in my pantry right now. . . Oh yeah I'm Canadian. : )

[@amythechocoholic5761]

Every so often I can find a couple things in a dollar store here in Ohio, it's great. Not counting the Canada Dry because it's everywhere, but since I'm this close to Detroit, I just go straight for the Vernors 😂

[@raggedyanarchist]

Maple cookies are da bomb-diggity, as the kids aren't saying. Plus, their smell sticks around on your hands for a LONG time.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

Not a bad smell to have though. lol

[@offthesidelines]

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

[@noahjaybee]

My mum's side is from Canada and I grew up in NY so we made the trip up every other year or so. The only food I sought out was Smarties (which is a Nestle product, I believe, so also available in UK etc) which are M&M's tastier cousin.

[@susandolan9543]

I don't know if the show Northern Exposure ever aired in Japan but the opening credits always had a young Moose walking around as the show's theme music played. I watched the show for so long that whenever I see a Moose I hear the theme music.

[@Hemperorjoans]

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.

[@45ladybugs]

Hailing form New Westminster Canada on he west coast! Awesome I love hearing how people like love or hate our snacks!!!

[@CaffeiNeko]

As a Canadian this warms my heart ! I love all of these, except the Wagon Wheels. Never seen them where I live.

[@Astarstruckfan]

Shinichi and Satoshi, you guys are a real treasure. Satoshi, could you be any more adorable in those glasses?

[@amythechocoholic5761]

Satoshi: •melts while eating maple cookies• Also Satoshi: "I need beer." TIL Satoshi is secretly Canadian.

[@gaspump]

I live right near some sort of Dare test kitchen and sometimes I go out on my balcony and the whole neighborhood is flooded with the smell of fresh baked cookies or buttery crackers. Best neighbors I've ever had!

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Crispy crunch is basically butterfinger.

[@phantomterrified3154]

Mr. Satoshi is so adorable and Mr. Shinichi is a sweetheart!

[@gaijinpete]

ruffles all dressed and coffee crisp were 2 thing I brought back for my friends here to try...they loved them, and the bite size wonderbars at Halloween are the perfect tea match

[@tosht2515]

Oh, man. Those sunglasses are freaking me out! 😳

[@thisfatgirlruns6710]

This is making me homesick! I love maple cookies! Maple syrup comes in different 'grades' which would explain the difference in taste. I can't wait for part 2! I just had Swiss Chalet sauce last week and it was heaven!

[@emeraldgreen1973]

Wunderbar is called Starbar in Ireland. I haven't had one in years, but they are amazing!

[@CrazyCanadianMofo]

We use to have time out bars here in canada but they got rid of them here sometime in the early 2000s.

[@oughtington1628]

Canadian here. Moose crossing signs aren’t everywhere. And Swiss chalet is a lower end “family” restaurant equivalent to something like apple bees in america.

[@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.

[@ZalyQQ]

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!!

[@xxpervysagexx]

Canada is on my bucket list of places to travel. Looks like I’m going to gain weight when I go.

[@shoyuramenoff]

Lmao that Sex and the City reference. I live in Canada and how did I never think of that one? Also, you said Quebec better than most English-speaking Canadians and I am impressed.

[@ValentineLaBine]

Laughing at Satoshi's reaction to the 'Thrills' gum! I don't think anybody buys that here unless it is meant as a joke, lol. Glad you enjoyed our treats! Swiss Chalet is a bigger thing out East but we have a few around here.

[@puckbryn3583]

I can’t tell you how excited I was to see both ketchup lays and all dressed ruffles in that thumbnail people always forget one or the other, but you got every single classic!

[@puckbryn3583]

I always love videos like these because people who didn’t grow up with these snacks always notice different things who knew that there were walnuts in the maple cookies the entire time! all I taste when I eat them is nostalgia

[@micherunnett5492]

The only things missing were: a HIP CD and a boat of some kind and a lot more beers

[@GingerBun]

Canada makes some great cider too, not just beer :)

[@claudiaweidman1004]

Love Canadian food , and Poutine is great 👍

[@feedthesnake3394]

legend has it that, to this day, tabi eats is still picking pieces of crispy crunch out of their teeth.

[@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 :)

[@janggau185]

Repeats of a previous snack haul but still yummy treats none the less.

[@seylnylp8083]

Always fun to hear about what your think of snacks from all around the globe. Particularly appreciate the fact that you take the time to reply to our questions when we ask, a proof that you are down to earth and connect to your audience

[@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

[@meimeiparker]

Hi Satoshi & Shinichi- Those snacks look tasty! The Canadian's know how to snack! I had the maple cookies before and really loved them. Hello 🇨🇦! 🍁! Thanks and everyone have a nice day!😊

[@ohshit4860]

my friends and i used to play a game where we each got a piece of thrills and whoever could stand having it in their mouth the longest won.

[@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

[@michellelee8933]

I'm not even a Canadian yet I can tell this is a good selection.

Ginger ale. Good for upset tummy. I’m drinking some now after a very stressful day.

It's called sakura maple because it's from a japanese Canadian brokerage.

[@jubilantjane5149]

Hi Shinichi and Satoshi! I would love to try the All Dressed Up chips and the Wunderbar! Everything looked really good though. I was cracking up when Shinichi wanted to take off the sunglasses because he said he couldn't see...then when Satoshi put them on he said, "I can see." Also...maple from the Sakura tree! 😂😂😂You both are so funny! 😊❤

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

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. :)

[@llamabrat07]

If you liked the Canada Dry, you should try Vernor’s Ginger Ale. Mostly found in the Great Lakes region. Especially in Michigan.

[@danmccarthy4700]

Some places here in New England carry it, too. It's amazing stuff.

[@CrazyCanadianMofo]

Thank God someone sent you coffee crisp lol

[@mindysmom6132]

Hahaha! Boys! Loving your glasses! At first I thought it was a reflection. All of the snacks looked great, but those all dressed chips-they looked amazing! And the Lay’s Ketchup Chips? Oh my gosh! 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! The wagon wheels reminded me of our old fashioned Moon Pies, and all of the different chocolate bars. YUM! Yes brother Shinichi! Love Mr. Big from SATC! 🥰 A huge thank you to Jennifer, Charlie, and Stuart! I love the Moose Crossing sign!

[@Peatingtune]

Swiss Chalet is famous... as a place old people hang out as regulars because the menu is bland and inoffensive and the atmosphere safe and relaxed. Think of it like the food courts in small Japanese malls that have a noodle shop and a taiyaki stand and no people between the ages of 3 and 30 anywhere in sight.
