[@Mul_Rein_Maar]

I'm Iraqi (one of the centers of dates) and I'm actually surprised when they say it has no taste ,even the blandest type of dates is sweeter than the majority of sweets. HOW MUCH SUGAR YOU CONSUME IN AMERICA THAT EVEN DATES HAVE NO TASTE ?

[@LB0206]

No kidding...

[@tiggrtwo71]

Dates are delicious and crazy sweet. I’m shook they say they have no flavor.

[@vilmutiastasytyte5196]

That was exactly my thoughts:D how much sugar and how processed everything is.

[@nicpittard8367]

Dates have amazing flavour! I feel maybe they just don't like them. 🤷🤦🏻‍♀️

[@renee2994]

Lol...I thought I bet they do have alot of flavor we just don't taste it BC we have destroyed our taste buds...

[@nickcase8729]

Dates: Exist Austin: WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@ATrace-pn6wx]

I love how Cam describes everything

[@diamondfeather6]

1:48 "you guys got (all these fancy cars) as police cars but your still racing camels?" Me: when America has all this stuff, why are we still racing horses?

[@racothran]

^He's right you know! 😬 Mustn't forget the dog races either!

[@rosemali3022]

I mean, we dont even have healthcare so...

[@danni3804]

Susan Bones who doesn’t have healthcare?

[@rosemali3022]

@@danni3804 So many Americans. Its expensive and tied to our employment (and many jobs do their best not to have to offer it), so the 40 million people who just lost theirs due to the pandemic, also lost their healthcare. Then you have our normal 44 million who don't have it before the crisis and the 38 million who are underinsured. We are only had healthy as a nation as our poor population, and our leaders are more concerned about regime change wars. I would reccomend NOT coming here if you were thinking about it.

[@danni3804]

Susan Bones thank you for educating me, I’m part of the United States who live under the poverty line and thankfully have state health insurance

[@chelseaaa88]

You guys screaming "WE'RE RICH" over and over cracked me up 😂 love you guys!!

[@m3r3dith]

That "why exists?!!" got me into a snorting laugh bro sthaaap 🤣🤣

[@E.Night6]

Haha I can’t even get into the actual video. I keep replaying Cam singing a parody of ‘A Whole New World’. 😂

[@nicolevasconcelos8556]

You guys should try some goats cheese stuffed in the dates and drizzle some honey on top and put it in the oven for about 5 min. For 180C or 350F. It's really good. It gives it more flavour to the dates.

[@stephaniehopper2489]

I love figs done like that too. I’m here in the south and figs are more accessible and less expensive since most have fig trees in their yards

[@jessicathomas575]

I love figs and dates with goat cheese! Raised in the south and worked at a restaurant where that was an app all of the servers could have as a free snack. Tasted great, filling, and without sitting heavy in the stomach.

[@daniela22cluj]

have you try'd snacks from Romania? if not i would like to send you some good traditional snacks we have here and some homemade jam ;)

[@mom23js]

Ooooo... Yes! I'd love to see them try em!🖤.. hope they say yes too and have this as the next food try.

[@thered1493]

I'm open for food packages too lol

[@anamariapintilii968]

Da :-)

[@_dianaf__]

I only know of one tasty snack from Romania - Sebastian Stan 😍

[@christina7991]

I hope they agree to this! I love Romania and would love to see some of the local treats/fare on this channel and what they think of it.

[@debiadams3803]

The pastry you tried is called Ma’amoul and is made with dates and walnuts. Saw them made on The Great British Baking Show!

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

The chemistry between the two of them is absolutely beautiful…..

[@genkatqltr8517]

I think we expect candy, fruit, and desserts to taste so sweet, anything without the sugary creaminess is too bland. I've been eating dates lately and they are very sweet and nicely chewy. Depends on the variety and where grown.

[@jessica-annaturner1186]

Pregnant me can’t say anything, but when I used to be able to survive without cereal, I could sweeten things with any fruit ever, but the smoothies sweetened with dates 🤮🤮 I couldn’t do it hahaha I feel like it’s like cilantro, you either love them or hate them.

[@jadevictoria407]

My town is stuck in quarantine for the next 2 weeks, so it looks like I’m going to be binging all your videos 😁

[@Merete86]

I'm already there... actually finished the last video today. What to do now...??? 😳

[@sarahpomegranate5131]

Please don’t judge Middle Eastern food on this stuff - apart from the crisps/savoury snacks, the rest is pretty much the tourist crap that no one in their right mind would buy. Except as a gift for someone we don’t like!

[@mom23js]

They're just some snacks.. it would be like receiving a fruit cake or cheesecake in America and expecting ALL cake to be like those.🤷.. I don't think it was the intention to base ALL snacks or even food off of the ones they tried🤷.. food is ALWAYS different than snacks.

[@jijimoore9796]

Lol

[@stephanieflorence8109]

Lol, every country has those foods. There's a reason why you feign excitement when your coworker brings you salt water taffy from their vacation to the coast.

[@Meeraalqasimi]

so true!!! Most of them aren't even Emirati 😂 they're Turkish or Lebanese

[@angiepangie79]

I tutored Middle Eastern students and became quite good friends with some of them. The food they cooked was AMAZING.

[@ladyraisha]

Where i live in Malta (Europe), we used to cut dates in the middle like a hot dog snd fill it with marzipan or an almond filling

[@sophiefox8656]

"we can all agree that a potato chip is a potato chip" Me, from england: THEY AREN'T CHIPS THEY'RE CRISPS

[@thered1493]

We can all - except England - agree that a potato chip, is a potato chip

[@priscillawilliams9499]

They are definitely crisps! Chips are eaten with fish!! Take care 🍟 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@englishlady5707]

Yep definitely crisps, chips are your fries

[@NoNames-vw3bq]

No, England that's where you've gotten it wrong. They're chips. You're just trying to make yourselves seem superior & snooty. What England calls chips, are fries (& if they're thick, they'd be wedges).

[@tobinjunior5322]

I prefer England’s name lmao. It just makes more sense there crispy hence the name crisps.

[@80sGamerLady]

If you like Baklava, then you probably have had rose water. I'm American but my dad's family came from Lebanon and one of the ingredients he used to make it was rose water.

[@nikiwright5393]

You'll know you've eaten all those dates in a couple of hours time.

[@mom23js]

🤣🤣🤣

[@tanyakc77]

no wonder you had the runs for 4 days lol

[@moniquesharp1373]

Try jamaican snacks i guarantee u will love 98%.of them🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@lauracarson8495]

Thank you for bringing some normality to my week! Love the facial expressions and as always Austin's NO! 😂 xx

[@Beehiveable]

I'm loving the mini rugs 😍

[@jennabreck22]

I had too many dates one time and I couldn’t get off the toilet 🤣😂

[@augustgirl810]

Anytime someone mentions dates I think of poisonous dates from Raiders of the Lost Ark!

[@nancyhowell4505]

I wonder if some of those had gotten stale? Like the dates and the candy. 🤔 Neat seeing what kind of goodies super rich people snack on! Can't be beat on those GORGEOUS boxes and wrappings! 👍👍👏😊

[@jennifergould1369]

You should try snacks from Hawaii! My grandmother brought back several for a tasting party. Sooooo good. They have one that's kinda of like a googoo but so much better. I really think you guys would love them!

[@meganadcock8844]

You guys make my day! In stressful times it deffinitly need. Thank you for the laughs!!! Keep them coming! 😆

[@jessicasellers9120]

Loved every minute of this video!!!! Thanks for the laughs

[@TheMtggrl]

I love dates ... in fact we just finished off some homemade banana date muffins ... they were yummy. Much like how great it is to go away, it's always great to come home ... trying new foods from other countries is fun, but it's best to eat the stuff we're used to. Thanks for sharing, that was fun.

[@jason-uk]

Great to see you guys need some giggles during this time stay safe all

[@suzyq8850]

Dates are delicious! I don't eat anything with sugar or honey or sweetener of any kind so maybe that's why I actually enjoy them. It's probably because you eat so much sugary stuff already that the flavors not there for you, like your taste buds are kind of dulled... In India they have sweets shops like The Almond House, I'm sure Dubai does too, the fresher the items the better they are.

[@Mul_Rein_Maar]

I live in Iraq which is(was) number one in dates , I am kinda surprised that they say it has no taste Like even the most bland types of dates are sweeter than the majority of sweets

[@suzyq8850]

@@Mul_Rein_Maar when I visited India I went to the Almond House and they had really delicious date and nut squares. I'm sure Iraq has great sweets with them too 😊.

[@amnaparent5671]

I love dates. They are good. It depends on the type of date you get. Some are sweet and some aren't.

[@jenniferv618]

I love the table mats that are made to resemble rugs!! Very pretty 🦋

[@SarahMcAsey93]

Love their personalities

[@Holly5794]

Your videos are the only thing getting me through this quarantine. 😊

[@kerryanne28]

The facial expressions use do when use don’t like something is hilarious 😂

[@CJ_9761]

You two make my day a whole lot brighter . Always funny!

[@jacquigrippa9329]

Good laugh!!! Love you guys!!! From South Africa

[@caity7302]

Last time I was this early, Cam still had leg hair *flash backs to painless waxing video*

[@priscillaking2308]

I love you guys. Keep it coming

[@kimberlykarson7621]

You're videos are amazing! I've been part of the trybe for maybe a year now and you always make me smile. Especially since I'm in quarantine until further notice!

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

Unless I missed it I have yet to notice them saying if they are quarantined like the TryGuys did (these videos all could’ve been recorded before). I actually find it refreshing to be able to watch a channel I love and not have everything be about this pandemic

[@AngelinaDancingWithAngels]

Taste tests from little Denmark 😉🙂 I'll hook you up as soon as virus is down and life is back to normal 😃😉😉🙏 I allready know of some danish things to send 🤓🤓

[@AngelinaDancingWithAngels]

Cool I'll hook you up 🙏😃😁🙂

[@hafidaess1145]

Tunisian/Algerian and Moroccan Dates are full of flavour and sugary ❤️

[@cobiabruggeman1108]

I love the little intro you guys did with the little magic carpet, it cute and hilarious at the same time 😂😂😂😂

[@cobiabruggeman1108]

My bad, I meant to say “ it’s cute and hilarious at the same time

[@nathetu8520]

I'm glad to see that they haven't really mentioned the whole Covid-19 thing on their channel. I know Austin and Jess have on their other channel with regards to being pregnant during this whole thing. However, it does offer a nice escape from all the shenanigans going on right now. I would love for you guys to try some more foods as I do find it very amusing. Thanks for keeping up with the posting and hope all is well.

[@Siygrah]

I can highly recommend South African snacks, though the very best stuff is the traditional tarts and confections.

[@katiecox4674]

No one: Absolutely no one: Men Try: "We're rich! Rich people have NO taste."

[@bethany9008]

I love dates. They are super sweet and delicious. For Christmas, my Grandmother use to stuff them with peanut butter and roll them in sugar.

[@sheilascoyne861]

Looking forward to the next country snack time, lol, loves you two❤❤

[@evamatheson7624]

I don’t know if there are different types of dates but the ones that I’ve tasted are so sweet that I don’t care for them. It’s like eating sugar. Although I don’t mind date squares.

[@bobbilee3963]

I love it when you try food or treats from another country. Please keep trying this out

[@brendajean623]

I love dates!!! Not too sure I’d like the drink though. Again, such fun watching you, especially during lockdown! Please, both you and your families stay safe during this awful time. Let’s all pray for the health and safety of those we know and those we don’t, and special prayers for all those in the hospitals fighting for their lives, and the medical staff fighting to keep them alive. And for the first responders and the bajillion volunteers doing all they can to help slow down the spread nightmare!!!❤️😘🐸

[@mom23js]

Lol. The 2 most disgusting liquid flavors(unless you like em).. dates and prunes.🤣. And that "drink" looked like they had the appropriate facial expressions 🤣

[@KpingUpwMrs.Jones7]

I looooooove dates but I haven't had any since I was a teenager. I love the texture and I think they have a lot of flavor but if I remember right you have to eat a couple before you taste it. Dried dates are the best!!!

[@cydvicious88]

Cam's intro song was top notch! 👏👏👏

[@StephLynnWard]

Watching from Dubai’s neighbor, Saudi Arabia. A lot of desserts have subtle flavors to go with Arabic coffee, which is full of flavors like cardamom & saffron. There are many different kinds of dates too, some sweeter than others. I do believe that Saudi dates are the best though! Try dipping those dates in cream or tahini!

[@pamowen3452]

Austin! You guys are killing me! In a good lmao way..

[@susankoehler6236]

Why am I just seeing you guys? You are so funny and fun!

I've stopped sleeping at night. The sandman hates me but thank God it's Sunday. Been looking forward to men try ladies and lattes and the vlogs. Yet another one I enjoyed. The chocolates looked yummy.

[@krist3nmari38]

5:30 so many doodle pun opportunities missed 🙊😂

[@OriginalHandprint]

Can’t remember if in any UK taste test you tried different flavours of our crisps (chips) ...we have a lot here and different brands too! I could try and box a selection; love to see the reactions!

[@kornila20]

you should try the dates with black tea it's soooo yummy 😋 i guess you're just not used to it 🤷🏽‍♀️ but dates it's like snack for us and very traditional i love it 😍

[@amysettle85]

I love this channel

[@ShivaServer2009]

The packaged dates at Aldi are good.

[@hughw2377]

Dates are tasty, you were given rubbish ones, most dates are rubbish, you have to find the right brand

[@lesleyplunkett5290]

I know everyone is going to come for me but dates remind me of the big bugs that fly around by the light on my patio at night just without legs and wings. Sorry! I know people love them and I don't mind the flavoring in something it's just when I look at them and the texture of them. Loved this episode. Hope you are working on some episodes via a meeting app during the quarantine!

[@Salena905]

Great to see you trying food, love your expressions .These look nice, dates are fine, I could eat the crisps, If only there were no nuts inside the chocolates I could eat them, looked so delicious 😋

[@Sarah-cg5vf]

Haha i just want to know why, do you not like flavour.... Brilliant loved this we want more 💖💖

Bacon wrapped dates are good

We are on lockdown here in South Africa for the next three weeks. House-bound and not allowed to go anywhere except the essential places. We looooove dates. We use it in a huge amount of tradition dishes. Great videos guys!

You guys need to try snacks from Finland!

[@stephanieflorence8109]

I LOVE dates, especially with goat cheese! Though I can't help but wonder I'd the branded, commercially produced dates on the store shelves in the US are sweetened and taste nothing like real, freshly dried dates. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.

[@jennabreck22]

Austin : “WERE RICH!!!” 😂🤣

[@jmatsko25]

Open the date, remove the seed and put peanut butter in it.....delicious!

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

I like how they kept taking the cheese puffs from eachother without noticing

Those dates remind me of chocolate beetles from zanzabar (coraline reference)
