New Zealand Family Tries AMERICAN CANDY BARS For The First Time!(Waited 27 years to try a BABY RUTH)

[@1COMIXMAN]

The wifey is right. Paydays were made during the depression era in the 30s to be a cheap meal replacement bar. The salt added a nice flavor and added salt into a diet that's most likely lacking in salt plus the protein and sugar content. These are the true meal in a bar. More so than snickers.

I'm from the American Midwest, and I'd actually never heard of the "Big Hunk" candy bar until seeing this video. I like all of the others that were featured. Butterfinger is my favorite type of candy bar, with Baby Ruth as a close second, and Three Musketeers in third. The first time I heard of the Baby Ruth was actually in a funny true story in a kids' nature magazine. In the 1980s, a vending machine company noticed that every few days, one of their machines would come up short by the price of one candy bar, which meant that someone had found a way to steal from the machine. The company set up a security camera, and caught the thief on film a couple of nights later. It turned out to be a squirrel that had learned to wriggle into the machine and take a Baby Ruth bar!

I'm 67 and when I was a really young farm girl I only got to go into town on Saturday to actually set foot in a store to buy candy. I would get 2 Baby Ruth candy bars. Back then I think they were longer and bigger around than what they are now. I would scarfed one down immediately and saved the other one to nibble on during the week. They are still my favorite candy bar that's made with milk chocolate but I rarely eat milk chocolate now. I LOVE dark chocolate so my go to chocolate now is Ghirardelli Intense Dark Chocolate 72% Cacao. I read dark chocolate is better for you and these thin little 1.75"x1.75" squares are just enough to hit the spot. A little history on the Baby Ruth candy bars name: Although the name of the candy bar sounds like the name of the famous American baseball player Babe Ruth, the Curtiss Candy Company traditionally claimed that it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland.

[@helenabrus191]

Family used to have a vending company and our supplier told us that in the USA and Canada, paraffin wax is added to the chocolate to keep them solid during the heat.

I always loved Charleston Chews growing up, especially for the texture. We used to put them in the freezer, and they'd be shatteringly brittle when you bit into them and then soften into chewiness. The chocolate ones were of course a favorite, but the strawberry ones were delightful too. In the '90s I encountered Whatchamacallits, which combined crispy rice, dense and stringy caramel, and chocolate, and those were the best. I don't know if they're still around.

A classic simple candy bar I like is Nestle Crunch (chocolate with Rice Crispies cereal mixed into it). Another favorite is York Peppermint Patties (chocolate with a peppermint flavored filling). It's recommended to cool Peppermint Patties overnight in your refrigerator before eating. Candy is considered part of the experience of going to see a movie in a theater along with popcorn, and two popular choices are Milk Duds (nuggets of chocolate covered caramel) and Raisinets (chocolate covered raisins). If you want to try well-liked non-chocolate candies, look for Starburst, Sweetarts, Swedish Fish, and Mike and Ike.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the 100 Grand bar; it's seriously tasty. If memory serves me correctly, the manufacturer named it thus because it sounded "rich." For a bit of a laugh, an American radio station ran a contest several years ago, and the prize was a hundred grand. During the duration of said contest, the station mentioned the prize. A woman won, and they blindfolded her. She was expecting a gigantic check (which is reasonable). The radio station gave her a 100 Grand candy bar. She used, and (if I remember correctly) they settled out of court. _________________________________ Skor bars are originally from Sweden. And when Three Musketeers first came out in the 50s, it had three flavors--chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. The vanilla and strawberry flavors weren't as popular as the chocolate, so the manufacturers reformulated the candy bar but didn't relabel it.

My favorite candy is actually 3 musketeers! I'm glad you all tried it!

[@dominiccangelosi1876]

By far the best family in KZbin. You guys want me to promote and learn more about NZ.

[@jacobpickering3057]

Your New Zealand Family 🇳🇿 y'all are so funny. Atlanta and Sam had me cracking up the most. How is Sam's Spanish so good? I thought he was talking in fluent Spanish.

[@janedavis6556]

Funny to watch the sugar rush make everyone giggly 😁

[@goatitisful]

We don't have Whittaker chocolate in the US except for specialty stores.

[@louislagrotteria6628]

omg, he just referred a " Baby Ruth" to the epic motion pic "Goonies"?! Sam, u are an American at Heart! Baby Ruth is one of my favs

[@veronica978]

Payday is my favorite of those. I have always thought the babyRuth is just a payday covered in chocolate. I think the chocolate helps with the salty peanuts

[@erichernandez5506]

Must try " Whatchamacallit" bar, that candy goes back since the 80's

[@ainekellan6295]

Oh those are soo good!

[@sprinkle4k]

Definitely one of my favorites growing up.

[@angiepen]

There's a companion candy to Almond Joy called Mounds, which is just the coconut covered in chocolate. When I was a kid (I'm 58 now) there was a third, Caravel, which was coconut with a layer of carmel, all covered in chocolate. They discontinued that one, which kinda sucks, but if you like coconut and carmel, it was yummy. Three Musketeers used to actually have a reason for its name. :) The whipped center came in three flavors -- chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Some of my great aunts worked at the candy factory where they made Three Musketeers when they were young, on the assembly line. The different flavored chunks came down the line and they had to grab one of each and put them together (into a single bar), before putting them back on the conveyor belt to go to be covered in chocolate. Some time before the sixties when I was a little kid, they went down to just the one flavor. I've always wondered how much of that was because consumers had a favorite flavor, versus how much was because they could save in labor costs by not having the three segments? But the name of the candy made a lot more sense back when there were three flavors. Re: chocolate and candy, I think this is a thing with Americans vs. The Rest of the Anglosphere. I had a wait-what?? kind of argument with a Canadian friend of mine, who insisted chocolate was *not* candy, that there was chocolate and there was candy and they're not the same. Which sounds completely bonkers to me, because chocolate is *clearly* a kind of candy. In the US, "a box of chocolates" and "a box of candy" mean the same thing. Canadians clearly disagree, and if New Zealanders disagree too, I suspect the difference is in how recently a country split from England. :)

[@pacmanc8103]

In some ways, it makes better sense if they distinguish between ‘sweets’ and chocolate. The American word ‘candy’ covers both sweets (particularly hard candies or ‘boiled sweets’) and chocolate. I think a lot of our cousins may think ‘candy’ is the same as ‘sweets’, rather than the all-encompassing word.

[@CardiacCat]

Oh that gave me memories of Lucy and Ethel on the candy assembly line. 😆

[@TheJudiBambiPurrsParadox]

I KNEW you were going to say The Goonies the minute you said it's close to your heart, Sam. It IS a touching and learning moment for both Chunk and his new friend. I like Mr. Goodbar...the simple, few ingredients, but done well. Enough nuts, smooth chocolate..it works. Like Rolo or Milk Duds...sometimes the simple is perfectly elegant as it is, unadorned. Then sometimes you just want over the top. Cadbury Fruit and Nut bars...oh heaven.

[@nicoleduke7883]

From Texas here, and growing up Big Hunk was my favorite candy! When I was sick, my mom would always buy me a big hunk and a country time lemonade as my comfort food. I still love them as an adult! Also, for us a Milky Way is a different candy. It is the chocolate and nougat like the three musketeers, but it also has a layer of caramel in it.

[@camillep3631]

And now you can buy bags of bites size Big Hunk!!

Very true!

That’s an affirmative!!

[@stvsmith2009]

The 3 Musketeers Bar, has been around for years. It was originally dubbed 3 Musketeers, because it came in 3 chocolate covered pieces, with one being the chocolate whip center, the next being a vanilla whip center, and the last being a strawberry whip center.

[@patriciacave4450]

I don’t remember that…would love to try it

[@alexlail7481]

I'm not sure about New Zealand but in some area's outside the USA ( I think UK and some commonwealth countries?) the 3 musketeers bar is equivalent to our milkyway bar and our milkyway bar is essentially sold as a Mars bar... there all Mars candy bars it's just a branding thing possibly someone else already had a product(s) with similar name(s) ages ago....

[@laobejanegra926]

Is this true?! 🤯 I'm almost 40 & never knew this 😅

[@karyngreen5840]

I had a Aunt who always brought me a 3 Musketeers bar when she came to visit 😊 Or a Sugar Daddy Lollipop. This took me back to my childhood days for a bit💚

[@joegreenwood1443]

Whaaaat? I would like to have one of those.

[@skyhawksailor8736]

My two favorite are Kit Kat bars and Twix. As a child in the 60's and 70's, when I had some money to buy a candy bar, I would look at the weight of the bars in the vending machine, and buy the one which was the largest by weight, which the majority of the time it wound up being a 3 Musketeers bar.

[@RLKmedic0315]

Ok... important question... left Twix or right Twix?

[@angieshepard9801]

I still go for the heavier bar and I am over 50 !

[@RLKmedic0315]

@dannytv lighten up dude, it was just a stupid joke.

[@terid7996]

Skor is Swedish for "shoes", but also means "brittle" (weird, I know). Thus, brittle toffee or Skor...

[@GreatSongs]

I keep seeing these BIG HUNK bars on KZbin. It’s the only place I’ve ever seen them or heard of them. Loved in the US my entire life . Must be some small regional candy bar that no one else knows about .

[@joshuaclark2970]

Got my wife and kids into y'alls videos now, we watch at least one of your videos a day... you guys are awesome! We live in Southeast Texas and i wish we could send you some of our southern soul and cajun food, but that might be too spicy for you guys lol P.S. we're huge fans of lotr which is what turned us on to New Zealand so It's been a dream ours to visit NZ for a long time, so to watch you guys be as interested in the US as we are of NZ is just awesome!

[@joemcgunagle8146]

Chocolate is so much more than a candy. Cake, pudding and milk come immediately to mind. It’s used in savory dishes as well in some cuisines. Some say chocolate is is a lifestyle, while others call it an all consuming passion.

[@murieljames4022]

Never heard of Big Hunk in my 60 something years ever! Watching from USA 🇺🇸!

[@toddlucas1550]

Try the American candy bar called "Zero". Also, you guys should freeze some candy bars for a completely different textural taste from the solid candy bars. Baby Ruth and snickers bars are the best to freeze and eat.

[@lhuntley4577]

Zero bars are part of my childhood. I remember eating those with a Coke at the neighborhood pool back in the 70s. They are soooooo good!!!!

[@reginaperez8886]

Also reeses cups are great frozen

[@tvc184]

I was hoping someone would bring up Zero. Those are like a childhood comfort food for 50 years ago. Oddly, I saw some in a store about six months ago and bought a couple… yep, still good.

Zero has no Chocolate, military desert rations featured it during WW2

[@TexasRose50]

Oh cool, glad y’all mentioned Zero! That takes me back more than 50 years! Every so often I still grab one.

When you tried the "3 Musketeers" bar, I knew what happened. In England, a(nd New Zealand apparently), A " Milky Way" is the same as America's "3 Musketeers". The KZbin channel, "Lost In The Pond"'s Laurence Brown had an episode where he explained how American candy bars are available in England, (where he is from), but under different names. Being used to a certain brand of candy bar, he bought an American "Milky Way" and was shocked to find it the same as a bar in England with a different spacey name, I believe "Orbit", but it might be a "Mars" bar. This episode was one of his Halloween shows explaining the differences and things that are the same between England and America, where he has lived for the past 15 years or so. I remember that he showed perhaps six brands that were the same as ones he grew up with, but under different names.

[@dahacksterkent8169]

Nestle Crunch and Whatchamacallit and really good candy bars

[@sometimeslyrical]

Nestle's "Chunky." It's a decadent, trapezoidal chunk of creamy milk chocolate loaded with roasted peanuts and plump, California raisins. A little hard to find sometimes. But, in my opinion, ohh so good. Ghirardelli also used to make white chocolate squares with freeze-dried raspberries. Those were to die for, but I can't find them anywhere any more. Quick, somebody get me a Whittaker's Peanut Slab. I love good candy, and I want to expand my horizons!

[@sly7390]

[@RandyButternubs917]

I'm kind of upset that more places don't sell Chunky. We have a specific store that does and I buy one every time. It's not even particularly my favorite candy because I don't much prefer Nestle or Hershey chocolate, but something about it is just plain good.

[@Jean2235177]

It's been YEARS since I had a bounty bar. They used to be sold in the US many many years ago. My favorite from those you tried is the Baby Ruth.
