South Carolina Food Taste Test

[@LaBellaVita02]

Boiled peanuts are one of my favorites! The only thing from this list I haven't had (being a Southern girl) is the hot ginger ale and right about now I'm pretty glad!

[@tresnugget]

As someone born and raised in SC, I don't know how anyone can go without sipping on sweet tea all day every day, go without mustard based BBQ at least a few times a month, and if boiled peanuts weren't seasonal, go more than 10 seconds without staring at a boiled peanut as you futilely try to resist it.

[@dsmith1236]

I totally agree I mean who doesn't love boiled peanuts and shrimp and grits, BBQ (any way you like it), and who doesn't like to go through a gallon of tea every two days. I just haven't tried the ginger ale.

[@IronLungsMcgee]

Summerville SC here, Home of the Sweet Tea and the Guinness record holder of the biggest sweet in the world. Love these vids!!! keep them coming!!

[@AravahStar]

No....this CANNOT be the first time adults have ever tasted sweet tea in their lives! I can't even imagine it. Is this real? I lived in SC for ten years, but never heard of the hot ale;wish I had! Would've been fun to try. "March, bitches!" omg I love him ;)

[@michelleh7715]

Sweet tea in the south is ridiculously sweet compared to other regions in America. Like how cornbread in the south vs the north taste different?

[@MikeTheHedgeMage]

Willow Star "Southern" sweet tea is much, MUCH sweeter than "normal" sweet tea. When I was in SC, I would have to order my tea "half-sweet, half-unsweetened".

[@BREEZEONE1]

Oh Californians.... 1. We drink sweet tea at every meal. 2. Folks boil peanuts on the side of the road on Saturdays and at any race car event, and at all high school foot ball games. 3. Mustard bbq sauce. Im about to blow your mind. we have Cheerwine BBQ sauce. I mostly stick to sweet baby rays or sticky fingers. I know BBQ, im a pig farmer after all. 4. I've been and lived all over SC and never seen this type of ginger ale. Of course, we ask for sweet tea when we go out. Momma use to give me regular ginger ale for headaches as a kid. Its an old home remedy, try it sometime. question- why do the guys in California act so feminine? Are they ashamed of being a man?

[@DarkAssassin2259]

Also, please tell me y'all had that BBQ ported from Shealy's BBQ. That place is just the friggin best in this whole grand universe! If you visit South Carolina and you happen upon Batesburg-Leesville, go there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I swear you won't regret it!

[@justinducsay7798]

I like these way better than buzzfeed! These people actually have personality

[@movotooriginals]

Justin Ducsay We never get tired of hearing this- thanks, Justin!

[@abstractheory]

Movoto Originals While I on the other hand find you all incredibly shallow.

[@JohnSmith-hj4dn]

Justin Ducsay I totally agree. And in the process they don't bash the regions they are tasting from.

[@MalkinFan25]

PS. Alison: There is no dainty way to eat barbecue. The southern belles in their sundresses at tailgates are perfect in every way. This perfection includes barbecue sauce smeared all over their faces. :)

[@GregSimmons]

SC native and resident all my life! HAHAHAHA!!!! Loved the reaction to boiled peanuts and ESPECIALLY Blenheim Ginger Ale (it'll get you every time!)

[@fsumpter]

I'm from SC and have tasted and adored all except the Blenheim ginger ale. This is my first time hearing of it.

[@hayleyr2444]

I could watch these videos all day. They never get old. I love to see all of the reactions!!

[@movotooriginals]

hayley r Thanks, Hayley! :)

[@judyharris4116]

I can't believe nobody has mentioned BOILED OKRA !!! My grandmother would boil it on top of fresh blackeye peas....so slimy so delicious !!!

[@teresaconner2397]

I have lived in SC all my life and have never had the ginger ale. Y'all need to do one with the tasters try fried green tomatoes ( which we refer to as "maters"), homemade muscadine and/or scuppong wine. Also, I don't know if everclear is known in other parts. Love your videos! More about the Palmetto state please!

[@movotooriginals]

Teresa Conner Yeesh, if that was our reaction to Blenheim's, do you think we could handle Everclear?! Good recommendation, though- if you make one, share it with us!

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

If sweet tea hurts your teeth, it may be a problem with your teeth...not the drink. Brush and floss.

[@devilface97]

How can anyone not like Boiled Peanuts? It's possibly the only proof on Earth of God's existence. Nothing that heavenly could exist without some sort of divine hand. Boiled peanuts are key to eventual world peace.

[@MalkinFan25]

So if y'all do North Carolina, we NC natives fully expect you to do Lexington AND Eastern NC barbecue. We argue like crazy over it, and a third party always helps :) and Cheerwine, y'all need to have people taste the elixir from the heavens LOVE this show. So much fun!

[@movotooriginals]

MalkinFan25 A BBQ competition! That's a great idea.

[@tfair5]

Movoto Originals If you do Cheerwine, do it from the glass bottles. It has cane sugar and not high-fructose corn syrup.

[@HisSweetheart35]

I miss living in the south.

[@benson0509]

Born and raised in SC; never in my life have I heard of that ginger ale. Pimento cheese is another popular food here, especially on a Burger.

[@someguy7080]

Being from SC, you can buy the Ginger Ale at Mast General Store or Kroger if you want to try it out.

[@kristabrumbles684]

Southern goodness south Carolina style!!

[@MelissaMabe]

Never been a big fan of ginger ale but these are all amazing southern selections! I'll definitely miss these if/when I move somewhere else!!

[@bobby398]

Blenheim recommends that you sip their ginger ale the first time. You straight sabotaged these people! The extra hot is the best!

[@movotooriginals]

LongRange Bob Oh, our tasters are going to have words with the management now....! We need to give the extra hot a try, everyone's recommending it.

[@bobby398]

Seriously the extra hot is where it's at! I love Blenheim but being from SC I am biased. Also cajun boiled peanuts are good too.

[@Jackhand100]

LongRange Bob I don't drink sweetened tea. You can barely taste the tea. I lived in both the southerner states and the northerner state's. New York has the worst food in America. You also get the impression they try to cut every possible corner to maximize profit and don't really care about flavor. Southerner food is normally salter then northern food. But then you sweat more down south.

[@LukePonds]

I'm from NC and I can't stand that hot ginger ale. Haha I just can't understand why someone would want a spicy drink! Lol

[@bobby398]

Well I dont expect anyone from "Yankee Carolina" to appreciate the finer things we have in South Carolina.

[@theiab-m7b]

Never had Blenheim ginger ale in my entire life that I have lived in SC. I always thought Iced Tea and Sweet Tea were the same thing...oops lol

[@Kim10101]

I've been living in South Carolina for going on 7 years now, and I tried the Ginger Ale for the first time last year. While at my boyfriend's parent's house (his family is from Chicago and have been living here for 12 years), his dad offered it to me, not telling me anything about it, wanting for me to find out on my own what this drink was all about. So instead of sipping it (thinking that my boyfriend was exaggerating about the drink's kick), I guzzled it. I'd about hacked up a lung. My eyes watering up as my boyfriend and his dad hear me coughing from the dining room and begin laughing their asses off in the kitchen. That Ginger Ale is not a game.

[@movotooriginals]

Kim10101 Awesome story! (Not awesome that you got pranked)

[@Kim10101]

Mike Britt I'd imagine. lol

[@Kim10101]

stupidcall1 I am aware.

[@istranes]

Tomnickles What Coke and Pepsico sell as Ginger Ale is carbonated sugar water with almost nothing in common with real Ginger Ale. www.blenheimgingerale.com to order some online. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blenheim_Ginger_Ale

[@Chiller1967]

Background on the Blenheim Ginger Ale. Their is a mineral spring located in the town and a local doctor used to prescribe the water for his patients. They complained about the smell and the taste so he started mixing it with ginger and sugar and Blenheim Ginger Ale was born. The regular is strong enough but the hot (or old #3 as they call it) is worse. Blenheim Ginger ale does work well as a mixer if you are inclined to drink alcohol.

[@movotooriginals]

Chiller1967 There's a HOT version? Our sinuses are itching just thinking about it...

[@Chiller1967]

Movoto Originals Yeah it has a purple cap instead of gold.( they call it red but it is more purple) www.blenheimgingerale.com/

[@annacapps176]

Movoto Originals The Hot is delicious mixed with Jameson Whiskey.

[@PRRrailfan]

Their reactions to Blenheim were priceless. I drink that stuff almost daily and love it.

[@Tomnickles]

If you are putting South Carolina things in there, why Ginger Ale? Why not Cheerwine? The soda that is made in the Carolinas? No one ever does that.

[@Jaytag657]

Blenheim was created and is made in Dillon County.

[@MalkinFan25]

That's because Cheerwine is from Salisbury, North Carolina. Maybe they are waiting for the NC episode :)

[@moonlighter6]

Tomnickles It is made in South Carolina - dufus!

[@JohnSmith-hj4dn]

Tomnickles I ask the same thing. I have only even seen or even tasted what is called real ginger ale only once in my whole life. I don't even think it is a common drink. It wasn't in the lowcountry anyway.

[@moonlighter6]

Blenheim dot com South Carolina ginger ale, made in SC since 1903. I liked the orange and grape too, but that was produced for a limited time.

[@DavidVanLigon]

No lie, Maggie is the funniest part of all these videos! I haven't laughed as hard as I do with the stuff that flys out her mouth. I have to pause the video, collect myself, and replay what she said. Can you make a best of Maggie video please!? I just watched the Maryland slang thing an she had me in a fit when she said you have to stop me! I'm from SC and mustard bbq just isn't bbq

[@xactomama]

These videos make my day!! And Adam changed his shirt! Yay!!

[@gummybear4348]

boiled peanuts are .50¢ for 16oz here

[@tianitra]

I live in SC and I LOVE Blenheim ginger ale !

[@johncase3703]

adams reactions good or bad in any of these videos are the funniest! it would be awesome to see him in other videos you guys do

[@annabeauty236]

I like you guys a lot better than buzzfeed. I've lived in South Carolina my whole life, and I love it, so it's interesting to see people eating food for the first time that I've been eating my whole life. I feel like you could have at least given them some fried okra, congealed salad, or homemade lemon pound cake. Those are some AWESOME southern dishes that are guaranteed to make you rethink what good food is. I simply cannot imagine growing up eating anything other than southern food😂

[@Kamoblue]

"Noisy for a liquid"... ok then.

[@dangercrue]

Just like wtf

[@ambermassey7708]

I love love love Adam!!! Just use him he is great

[@DarkAssassin2259]

I remember trying that ginger Ale for the first time a few years back....took me a grand total of 5-6 hours just to drink half of the bottle because I was just not use to the sucker punch of a drink that it is. Love it today though, really opens up the sinuses, lol

[@napalmnacey]

Maggie is SO God-damned funny, she's a woman after my own heart. "Fuck carrots." I feel you boo, right down to my damned bones.

[@ChelseaK1391]

napalmnacey Maggie and adam are my favorites lol

[@1rkhachatryan]

It's 2:30 in the morning right now and I am legit dying from laughing and trying to not wake anyone up lmfao.

[@movotooriginals]

1rkhachatryan Watch responsibly... We wouldn't want you to have an intervention for enjoying our videos. :)

[@1rkhachatryan]

Movoto Originals Lol the funny part was i went out after and no one else was asleep either :p.

[@jstall20]

f*** yeah, shrimp and grits are my jam. good video

[@austinmckenzie6252]

I lived in SC for several years and never heard of the BDSM Ginger Ale

[@markshireman3306]

I think I'm in love with Sam. He's ADORABLE.

[@mocity5]

I'm coming to the conclusion that Californians were neglected from eating bone enriching foods. Keep them coming hilarious. Do Texas,Louisiana,Tennessee next

[@MathisTheMando]

Blenheim is the best. Almost every time I always bother my parents just to take somewhere just to buy a bottle.

[@jessicaperkins944]

I'm from Blenheim and the Hot version isn't that bad! I use to take it to school min my lunch box when I was little!

[@mynameisadam8377]

I live in sc and tried that ginger ale just two days ago and hated it!!

[@jamesburton8070]

Sweet tea is why we all have diabeetus.

[@caseyziegler1211]

LOVE!! Boiled peanuts!!!!

[@justice2913]

I live in South Carolina never had shrimp and grits in my life nighter mustard BBQ lol idk how someone can hate boiled peanuts they are so good!

[@mikemac1298]

the boiled peanuts are like really old school. like the 1800's early 1900's. its from a time when you didn't have many ways to make food. a lot of places had them on the east coast like at fairs and shit. and im from n.c. and i have never heard of shrimp served on grits before. that must be a new thing

[@soccerchamp0511]

I love Blenheim!

[@hannahw5079]

I've lived in SC for my whole life. That BBQ should be served on a bun and pulled. I have also never heard of the Ginger Ale

[@mudvayneimn]

I have GOT to try the BDSM of Ginger Ale.

[@DarkAssassin2259]

Prepare your whole face and mouth area for a world of WHOOOOOOOWHEEEEEEEE!

[@MalkinFan25]

SIP IT!!! Don't shoot it, you will regret that decision

[@z4ckman490]

I love how stereotypical this music is XD. Not EVERYONE listens to that music in SC!

[@danielbrandt9366]

This is a lot better than buzzfeed.

[@theothertoolbox]

That's right...we might have issues...but we have the food.

[@jdstud6]

The ginger ale is not common at all, but the others are. I've been in SC for 10 years and in GA prior, and never heard of the ginger ale in this video. The rest of the stuff is delicious!

[@moonlighter6]

Why no signature hash and rice with the barbecue? Forgot barbecue chicken and fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas, and macaroni and cheese. Banana pudding and Peach Cobbler to end the meal.

[@Nambazi]

Lmfao at homeless mans meal after rainstorm

[@Maggie-fv2tq]

I have to say the one girl that said "this is a homeless mans meal after a rain storm" when talking about the boiled peanuts was a little uncalled for. She did say some other stuff that was uncalled for as well. You don't know Souther BBQ until you have had North Carolina vinegar BBQ. shrimp and Grits is not just a SC thing but also an NC kind of thing. You don't know sweet tea until you try Bojangles sweet tea. I like all of those except the last one with the ginger ale. Souther Style Food is ALWAYS the best comfort foods. We know how to do food right.

[@movotooriginals]

Maggie Forman Thanks for that sweet (tea) tip!

[@jadalee9846]

HOW COULD YOU NOT LIKE BOILED PEANUTS. + your supposed to suck the juice from the peanuts... And I couldn't stop laughing at them tasting ginger ale your supposed to sip it or mix it with a non caffeine drink

[@Your_local_scorpio]

I love boil peanuts!! Yall should have tried pork skins.

[@CryptidGrinder]

LMAO people don't realize you eat the shell of a boiled peanut

[@tfair5]

CryptidGrinder You don't.

[@debbiepetrosky9687]

Where is the chicken bog. Thought for sure that one would be one here

[@colambert8871]

Movoto Original, you should do North Carolina food test, asap! You are missing out. Let me know when you do, I can't wait to see it already. :)

[@tfair5]

Cosarah Bartels They have now.

[@jlicious4470]

Maggie is funny as hell but seems like she is buzzed or stoned all the time. Go Maggie!

[@markm5234]

I live in SC. A lot of us don't like boiled peanuts either. And the Blenheims? Mix it with bourbon and ice. And that shrimp and grits? It wasn't made by someone from SC...

[@tfair5]

Bill Neal, Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill created this dish.

[@Jackie0zero]

NEVER SEPARATE MANNY AND ADAM AGAIN. =.......(((

[@sayaplaysmc5977]

Lol I am so used to this food cuz I'm from North Carolina

[@SenorPescadorJohnson]

funny well done we are about to introduce BBQ,Cole Slaw and hush puppies to El Salvador

[@kimmiecrayton155]

And they still drink or eat it even if at 1st they are like wtf is this then they are like hmmm im intringed lets drink or eat more lmao

[@kilgore420]

Should've interviewed them after the "first time Blenheim" shits

[@gummybear4348]

this is literally the same thing in Kentucky.

[@dsmith1236]

Where is the cornbread,and pork and beans?

[@sierra117s117]

This is not JUST South Carolina foods, I live in South Georgia (to all my Georgians out there) and people here eat and drink this stuff

[@TheJanabeke]

I don't live in South Carolina. We have the sweet tea. We have the shrimp & grits. We have the boiled peanuts. How can this be the first for ALL of these people on ALL of these foods?

[@movotooriginals]

Jana Lynn B The real questions is how did we SURVIVE? Those shrimp & grits were great.

[@sandersfull4121]

First off sweet tea is a southern thing not just a sc thing second boiled peanuts is I think a North Carolina thing too. Third you should go to fucking bojangels. You have not finished the north and South Carolina experience until you have tried Bojangels chick biscuits, the frys, the fucking best sweet tea you will ever have and more cheerwine

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

Also, Californian with a trust fund...not even surprised.

[@danielledempsey9223]

I grew up in SC and only tried Blenheim once. It wasn't good. It's not particularly popular in the lowcountry either. Shrimp & Grits and She-Crab soup are my comfort foods. I lived on an island with the very best fresh seafood

[@lilybelle6495]

How is the woman who gagged on the buckeye in the Ohio video (because she 'really hates peanut butter') so excited to try a boiled peanut?

[@stickmanisawesome2721]

Now they've got deep fried peanuts.

[@jcalerre]

Should've had them try bird dogs

[@TheMotherfer]

Fifty Shades Of Ginger.

[@jstall20]

and yeah. boiled peanuts are weird as hell.

[@blakehassenboehler5449]

I love how majority of these things are just things south carolina adopted from Louisiana and still made more bland...want real food come here

[@tfair5]

blake hassenboehler Such as?

[@stevencovell1771]

My dad gave me behiemien ginger ale I'm from South Carolina and I throw up

[@2001gamecox]

Sorry, this was good up until the ginger ale. That's not a South Carolina thing.

[@2001gamecox]

Nonsense. I spent most of my life in the state and never heard of it.
