German Tries American Candy (from my childhood!)

While in the USA, I bought some American candy from my childhood for Mr. German Man, my German husband, to try! :D
So our question for you is: Do you have these candies or something similar where you live, and have you ever tried these candies?

[@MyHeartsBeat]

Now I want to see Dana trying candy from Mr. German Mans childhood!

[@seb24789]

Like those little chocolate UFOs filled with joghurt? Legend has it that the quality of the chocolate was so bad that they weren´t allowed to sell them any more in some places.

[@centrifugedestroyer2579]

Sebastian Abele I only remeber the Esspapier ones filled with Brause.... And of course Watermelon chewing gum thats looks like a melon (really detailed, even with little "seeds" on the inside, Monster Ball, Candy watches / necklaces, etc.

[@DerEchteBold]

They already did that with "all kinds of snacks" including candy, look on the channel.

[@MyHeartsBeat]

Im Moment gibt es von Kinder Pingui eine Himbeer Variante. Die schmeckt so ziemlich genau wie die Frufo Pralinen :3

[@MyHeartsBeat]

Ich möchte aber, dass es um Süßigkeiten aus seiner Kindheit geht. Da geht noch was :D

[@woggelwoggel2]

Now, I really want Dana to try German "Center Shock" bubblegum.

[@pippilotta9238]

Nah, they aren't as sour as i remember anymore.

[@BassaSelim]

Pippi Lotta I tried one a while ago and there was no real shock. I'm not sure if it is idealized memory or if they are weaker nowadays.

[@Desmodontinae10]

Did yours get warm? They lose the sour taste when they get warm

[@BassaSelim]

Desmodontinae10 Probably as they were shipped here.

[@monsieurmikay]

I'm pretty sure that Center Shock is from the netherlands

[@lipstickerella]

Mr. german man speaks english perfectly with perfect german accent 😂

[@35i_Hearse_Driver]

lipstickerella The german 'th' 😂😂😂

[@hiddentreasures9336]

you mean the 'z' like zat's really funny

[@viktoriak5736]

lipstickerella haha absolutely! 😂

[@harry_3332]

lipstickerella his englisch goes (german insider)

[@mrg3874]

not every german speaks like that. there are actually some with a proper english accent (american/british/whatever)...

[@BhappyD]

"I think it tastes like dish soap..." "So I guess you want to spit it out?" "No!" 😂😂😂 I'm dying from laughter right now! 😂 Lol! Too funny you two! Thanks for the laugh! 💕 God bless!

[@danielleradcliff5265]

Brittany I always thought it taste like Lysol.

[@_Brohan]

i read this just as he said it lol

[@bmphil3400]

Lemon candy made with artificial flavor......Lemon Pledge furniture polish..." Made with real lemon".....

[@chrissiesbuchcocktail]

Mr. German Man: Meinst Du "Hubba Bubba"?

[@Misceff]

Christine Lorenz ich glaub auch er meint Hubba Bubba :)

[@pippilotta9238]

Ich glaub nicht. Die gab's ja immer in Stangen und kann mich nicht erinnern, dass die an Karneval geworfen wurden. Außerdem sind die ziemlich dick. Vielleicht ja die Kaugummis mit Tattoo drin, waren aber auch anders verpackt.

[@chrissiesbuchcocktail]

@Pippi Lotta: Hubba Bubba sah zwar äußerlich aus wie Stangen, es waren aber so kleine einzeln verpackte Stückchen in der Verpackung.

[@pippilotta9238]

Ja ach nee. Aber die hat man besitmmt nicht an Karneval aus der Packung gepult und geworfen. Und wenn es HubbaBubba wäre, bin ich mir sicher, dass er sich daran erinnern könnte, weil es so ziemlich das bekannteste "Kinderkaugummi" hier auf dem Markt ist und an jeder Supermarktkasse rumliegt...

[@chrissiesbuchcocktail]

@Pippi Lotta: Er sagte er denkt man hätte sie an Karneval geworfen, war sich aber nicht sicher. Eigentlich wird an Karneval gar kein Kaugummi geworfen, sindern eher Bonbons. Aber war ja auch nur so eine Idee.

[@getofftheisland]

His sour face is HILARIOUS! Thanks for the laughs.

[@Saturnsea5]

".....But it's Stefan trying amaricam candy" 😂👏🏼

[@PetBunnyDebbie]

Stefan gets major points for liking peanut butter! :)

[@lilmissmonsterrr]

sends him out of the room to be secretive, talks about surprising him with each candy, then proceeds to hand him each candy IN the wrapper WITH the name on it 🤔

[@sum12stupid4u]

They live in Germany, so he's not going to know these candies by name. She is doing it out of the room so that he doesn't hear the descriptions.

[@johnson9768]

0:40 . I don´t know, if they taste the same, but this is also available in Germany (but with another name)

[@suspirialove]

Johnson97 Yes I know them too.

[@echtscheisse7740]

almost everything of these candy we have in Germany... at least in Baden-Württemberg

[@BirdyMisha]

If i remember right we(me and my childhood friends) used to just call them "Zuckerstangen" as kids

[@BBBBehr]

You can buy most of them in some german stores. But like Mars and Bounty, they taste different in the USA. Most of these candys are adjusted for the german market (taste). You have to buy them in US stores in germany for the original taste

[@DerNunu]

I often ate that as a kid too, i just looked up it's name and It's called Schleckpulver-Stangen in germany. Often sold in those little stores that sell newspapers, or Lottery stuff.

[@lcephoenix]

We also have the last thing he tried, that sour spray, here as well. I remember absolutely loving these as a child!

[@nochnfux]

Mr German Man looks so worried the whole time :D

[@ebonymcneil1875]

I love this couple❤️ should do a blog channel

[@chrisconstantine1051]

Ebony Mcneil hi

[@ebonymcneil1875]

Hello

[@pwcabach]

Oh my gods. You two are adorable.

[@breadpilled2587]

Your husband is so adorable! You two have such a great dynamic and really balance each other out.

[@scott-mercer]

Tootsie Rolls are like a chocolate fudge. They were invented before refrigerated transport was widely available. They were not able to ship Hershey bars or other chocolate from May to September because they would melt. Tootsie Rolls did not melt in the summer and were available when chocolate bars were not for sale.

[@Jess-nz7be]

Scott Mercer they are bland, i get more flavour from chewits

[@p.herrmann4538]

Poprocks are known in Germany as well under a different name... its called Magic Gum.

[@BarHonigfeld]

The label of "Magic Gum" reads: "Magic Gum with Poprocks". They were a favorite of mine growing up, but I was always a little let down by the gum aspect. I wonder if original Poprocks also have gum with them.

[@lucadittmar4494]

P. Herrmann Ja. da war was 😅

[@p.herrmann4538]

Luca Dittmar ja und diese "brausestengel" kenn ich auch noch... die waren echt gut xD aber das aller aller aller beste war Dynamite Kaugummi (rote plastik röhrchen mit kaugummikrümeln drin) und das zeug war saurer als center shock

[@boombaby1769]

Kennt jemand noch "Space Dust"? Das war das erste Mal, dass irgendwas in meinem Mund anfing laut zu knacken, ich hab mich voll erschrocken :-)

[@p.herrmann4538]

boom baby das war vor meiner Zeit xD

[@moragmacgregor6792]

“It’s sooooo sour!!” “But you like it, right? 😣😣😣 “Uh-huh...” Stefan is adorable. Well, you both are tbh.

[@TheSteph0512]

I really enjoy your videos, you two do a great job. As someone that's a dual citizen I'm always excited to see people talking about things from both, Germany and the USA. Takes me back down memory lane. Keep up the good work.

[@cyberherbalist]

You two guys are too cute! I loved watching this -- had me chuckling along!

[@heidicook2395]

if you can find them try Zotz. it's a hard candy shell with a fizzy powder inside.

[@carollynch8319]

Heidi Cook I used to love zots.

[@offthepath7958]

We get zots all the time at cash and carry. Love them!

[@nikitabrundritt-howell4421]

We have something similar in AUS, they are called sherbies.

[@flauschie8295]

There was somthing similar like Poprocks when i was a child. It was in a darkblue little bag whith a green alien on it and it turned into a bubblegum when the "poppig" was over

[@bro2402]

Magic gum mit pop rocks? :D

[@flauschie8295]

Griffin25 Jaaaaaaaaaaa :-)

[@Biboline1]

flauschie 82 Ja, gibt's noch genau so!

[@handgemachtnaildesignbymel2951]

Habe ich mir letzte Woche bei Woolworth gekauft :,D

[@proudtobeme1ashkente]

Ich musste zuerst an diese Süßigkeit denken, die aus nem fußförmigen Lutscher und eben den "pop rocks" besteht. Der Lutscher ist zum Dippen da, aber am besten war und ist es immer noch, die ganze Packung "pop rocks" in den Mund zu schmeißen.

[@jacobcearley6429]

you should have had mr. German man try Warhead hard candies LOL

[@Sund3v3]

I love how he's trying to be polite and not show/tell how unenjoyable this is :D

[@ariellev9185]

I love how happy you always are :)

[@rianmilit]

I used to love the ring candy things when I was a kid. We also had candy lipstick and chewy cigarette shaped strawberry toffee.

[@UssiTheGrouch]

THIS is the cutest clip ever! I love it! Made my Day...

[@timthesquirrel]

That was one of the funniest show I´ve seen on your channel!! :) When Stefan tasted the green "thing" it was the most incredibles "Schweppes-Gesicht" ever! Great one!!

[@_-ressix-_1930]

TootsieRolls! I love Tootsie Rolls! when i was a child, some people from U.S. Army lived in our village. They were stationed in Hanau, i think. I sometimes played with their children. So we became good friends. and sometimes the parents bring me a pack of tootsie rolls! I havent ate them like about 20 years right now, but i still remember that great taste! please send me boxes full of tootsie rolls! I'm sorry for that worse english. hope you understand what i want to say ;-)

[@erictaylor5462]

Tootsi Roll got really popular in Germany because Americans were dropping them in the Berlin Airlift. I'm not sure if they are still popular.

[@webcrawler9782]

not everyone grew up in the stone age

[@carollynch8319]

Eric Taylor they are. I was eating one while watching this video.

[@erictaylor5462]

Carol Lynch Thanks for the confirmation.

[@illuminada]

Do you know of Gail Halvorsen the "Candy Bomber"? He is from my city.

[@pepprmintpaddi]

You are such a good sport! I love it! I'm going to have to edit this because it's so good I had to comment in the middle.

[@djej188]

Wow..here I like the background. It's not bored as german wohnung. U always make me smile. Nice couple ever!!

[@dieFrickelbude]

you are soooo sweet!

[@maxm8547]

dieFrickelbude ihr seit toll

[@yeapea]

Ich liiiiiiiebe Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! (==

[@eanschaan9392]

YEAPEA Agreed.

[@squidproquo1130]

You are so lucky, I could listen to that accent all day. Great candy choices! People always leave out Nerds on these kind of vids, glad you included them. Sugar Daddies and Chik-O-Stiks were also some childhood favs.

[@stephanieanie8532]

I just binge watched most of your videos... as a German, with family in the US and living abroad myself... it's just hilarious to me 😂😂

[@MarleneSTaylor]

Most of these sour candies came out around my high school time to date myself. But hey, it's interesting to know a whole generation grew up on them. Hadn't thought of that!

[@wolfgang0220]

How did you forget the Warheads!!?

[@teamr0ckit]

I just found your channel a few days ago, and I have to say I think it's amazing. Love love love you videos Dana!

[@nickisuhl]

Oh I love that you can share these things. I do that with my bf too, he's English, I'm German. It's fun to see if the other one likes it and how we react. Also this gave me an idea for his birthday. Thank you!

[@marry5817]

Also das knisterzeug habe ich in meiner Kindheit auch hier in Deutschland ohne ende gegessen und so einen Ring hatte ich natürlich auch 😉selbst die klitzekleinen roten und grünen sauren Bonbons hab ich gefuttert

[@emmajochum8682]

bless his heart on the fireball, he looked so lost and scared

[@vendela678]

Emma Jochum ich love fireballs. never spit it out. cinnamon explosion!

[@theuniverse5096]

YAAAYY!!! MR GERMAN MAN IN A VIDEO! I loved this video!

[@leighm.3567]

Thank you for being so open-minded about trying these candies. I've watched other videos where other nationalities already wrote off the candies and snacks.

[@Xzeed213]

Ich bin 30 und wir hatten fast alles davon in Deutschland, als ich noch ein Kind/junger Teeny war. weiß nur nicht was es davon noch gibt

[@dangerkeith3000]

You two are so cute together

[@b.j.hardwick9374]

This brings back memories! I'll be 38 on Friday and I'm single again for a little over a year. Thanks for making me smile you two!

[@jaimereynolds258]

The face he made when he tried the Pixie Stick was priceless lol Subscribed! :)

[@spitymaeh]

pretty funny reactions :D

[@TheFettuck]

They also sell Reese's in the Netherlands but it's pretty expensive candy because it is imported from the USA! :P

[@jovetj]

The U.S. excels at making cheap-costing (and cheap-tasting) chocolate. But Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are still outstanding.

[@chemgk]

Love this! You are both so much fun! Warheads and Zotz are two other candies he needs to try. Next time I come to Germany, I will have to bring some of these for my colleagues.

[@beckymoran321]

Your husband has such a great personality. This was fun to watch.

[@Leofwine]

The sour apple gum somewhat reminds me of “Centershock”.

[@KleinBibi]

Haha exactly what I was thinking when seeing the face he made :D

[@Papperlapappmaul]

Cotton candy flavour? Isn't that just sugar?

[@Melissa-wx4lu]

No, cotton candy has a flavor. Classic pink cotton candy is vanilla and classic blue is raspberry.

[@Papperlapappmaul]

Sure, you can add all kinds of flavors to cotton candy but the only thing all cotton candies have in common is the stringy sugar. So "cotton candy flavor" can only mean sugar flavor.

[@Papperlapappmaul]

Well, I haven't had cotton candy for years but if my memory serves me right, plain white cotton candy is the most common in Germany. That's probably why I don't associate any particular flavor with it. The same would also apply to bubble gum flavor but with that I do associate a particular flavor, even though there's quite a broad spectrum of flavors for bubble gum, most of which taste nothing like the flavor described as "bubble gum flavor". Hm, someone should write a paper on this topic...

[@Melissa-wx4lu]

Ah I see, In America, I've never seen white cotton candy before. It's always Pink vanilla or Blue raspberry. There are other flavors and colors as well but they are not as popular as the classics. (And they are hard to find outside of prepackaged cotton candy sold in the stores....which are horrible) I would always stand by the cotton candy stall at the fair as a child (I was just tall enough to see inside) and watch them spin cotton candy. I found it fascinating to watch. I am curious now about these flavor profiles of things we would think taste the same the world around. To me, Double Bubble, Bazooka, and Hubba Bubba is the classic bubblegum flavor for us. I wonder if their flavoring is different in other countries?

[@rebekkafederau7718]

swiss Zuckerwatte?

[@DogFlamingoXIII]

He has such a wonderfully expressive face.

[@awarenessvillage]

Such a cute video! German man seems so sweet and has a great personality. He's pretty easy on the eyes, too. ☺

[@MyMadspirit]

We have most of these candies in germany aswell^^ atleast where I'm from

[@vendela678]

Double Bubble could be Bazooka

[@WantedAdventure]

+Susanne Mehldau Yeah!!! That's it. Mr. German Man says that's the one 😃

[@panor62]

Bazooka Joe - with a cartoon on the wrapper.

[@starblomma]

I think it could also be Hubba Bubba

[@minion8]

yep, i wated to suggest bazooka as well. it used to be sold in europe (well, at least austria, so i guess germany as well) until aprox. early 90s

[@thomasgunde8639]

haven't seen bazooka 4 ages...

[@beepadipeep]

I love, love, love Stefan's reaction to the sour spray. I've watched it a couple of times and I am still laughing - such a genuine reaction

[@amandab6034]

Love when mr German man is in videos with you!

[@jschmid26]

Haha, seems like mister german man has experience with crystals xD

[@NanamiShimaike]

mr. german man doesn't know german candy (in fact we have aaaaaaalll the candy in this video in germany too. even the fucking spray. I'm 19 and am still addicted to that shit)

[@BarHonigfeld]

You can still get that spray in germany? I remember being totally addicted to that around 2000 but afaik they vanished from store shelves. I checked in Kassel, Trier and Köln but cannot find them ;_;

[@NanamiShimaike]

Bär Honigfeld you can often still find them at Phillips I guess. But I've seen them also in Citty lately

[@Kyrrichan]

I just saw them a few days ago, right at the checkout in a Rewe market in Bonn :O

[@Toastar1860]

I'm 18 and I also know nearly all of them. Until the shop closed last year I think it was still possible to buy it.

[@notme222]

So that makes me wonder what would be a uniquely American candy. Peanut Brittle? Saltwater taffy?

[@garfield4507]

i love how excited you got with the pop rocks!!! :)

[@okie-kan9240]

You all are such a cute couple, you all sound so happy.

[@uhohhotdog]

I thought cotton candy flavored stuff was usually pink.

[@angelahagerman5003]

Chocolate is candy so I would say a tootsie roll is chocolate meets taffy

[@moragmacgregor6792]

With a little orange flavor in there too, which I love in regular chocolate bars but don’t love in Tootsie Rolls.

[@SaltwaterFreedom]

I love videos with Mr. German Man. Cute couple!

[@stargirl7646]

BAHAHA, loved Mr. German Man's "this is unexpectedly sour!!" faces. Also I'm craving candy at midnight now. THANKS.

[@Welteninsel_K]

Last year on st nicholas day I have received a chocolate santa with pop rocks in it.

[@WantedAdventure]

+TimeToDraw Pop Rocks inside the chocolate Santa!? Yummy!!!

[@kenn268]

Cotton Candy is such an US type of flavour.

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

I have a hard time understanding what flavor cotton candy actually is as its main and only real constituent is sugar. Is the sugar caramelized slightly during the process and that is supposed to give it a unique taste?

[@auandy11]

M. Utley Its flavored sugar. But their is a classic cotton candy flavor that universally known as the cotton candy flavor even though their is 100s of ways cotton candy can taste.

[@auandy11]

No one to explain the flavor, its unlike anything you have tasted. You would have to taste it.

[@theuniverse5096]

I actually love ALL videos!

[@nickg9054]

I loved this video! I've watched many other clips with foreigners trying american foods as a premise, and am always disappointed by the selections. This video was so nostalgic for me, great picks! I think Dana and I must have been born in similar years.

[@MeritSeto]

"You missed my mouth" - I bet Dana says that once in a while.

[@stormbase3202]

Merit Seto Haha, made my day

[@PeaseOfDeath]

I too had to laugh xD

[@boombaby1769]

Get out, you perv X-D

[@MeritSeto]

What? I mean while kissing or feeding... What did you think? YOU are the perv! ;p

[@fayeprime9631]

Merit Seto ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

[@MandaPandaBailey]

Mr. German man is so cute!

[@siberry5536]

Liked at less than a minute just for mrgermenmans face with the pixie stick! Y'all are so dang cute

[@inessaeidemiller8337]

You two are so sweet together♥

[@xXxSHOOPIExXx]

Should of given him the Warheads hard candy

[@perfectlyimperfect423]

Diesen Kaugummi nach dem Stefan fragte, kenne ich als ziemlich kleine Stücke zusammen mit Tattoos, die mit drin sind....

[@jensrb50]

ich glaube man bekommt die an jedem gut sortierten Kiosk für 10cent das Stück

[@ElphabaWeaslely]

aww you and your husband are so cute!!! An I've never seen that Sourpatch spray. looks cool!!!

[@RalphReagan]

thanks for having Mr German man in the video he seems like a really nice guy.

[@OluwademiladeAdebiyi]

i havent eaten so many seweets at once in my life

[@schwarzertee7586]

i tried american candy once... too sweet for me. everything american is just sugar and color with a slight slight slight bit of actual flavour.

[@lilmissmonsterrr]

Schwarzer Tee and even that tiny bit of flavor is just a mixture of chemicals. and we are so dumb that we need our foods to be dyed for us to be convinced of the flavors they're marked as 😂 one of my biggest pet peeves - dye in food. it's so unnecessary and sometimes harmful.

[@jovetj]

There is some candy that's better than others. But, yes, candy is sugar. That's what it is: sugary treats.

[@lenavogelsang7864]

i really enjoy seeing you together

[@ninaforsythx3]

You guys are so cute! I loved all of those sour candies as a kid. I ate that sour gum all of the time!

[@eliseweusthuis]

blue raspberries don't exist right

[@TheMechanicalGirl999]

Not really!

[@karlranseier7042]

Rubus leucodermis (the fruit is blue/black, kinda like a blackberry, still, it's named raspberry). I might add: blackberry and raspberry are both from the rubus genus and thus quite similiar anyway.

[@handgemachtnaildesignbymel2951]

Karl Ranseier In german it must be Brombeere!?

[@thisbrokenmachine]

lol atomic fireball challenges?....I ate them every day...and not the small ones now a days.....cinnamon candy was my shit

[@WantedAdventure]

+thisbrokenmachine this reminded me of those tiny red cinnamon candies!! My memory tells me they were a little chewy and I *think* they were in the shape of a heart, but I can't really remember. It's been so long since I've seen them!

[@user-xy6yj3fo9y]

Wanted Adventure I remember those! They were called Red Hots (at least where I grew up). They were so misleadingly intense!

[@WantedAdventure]

+Brianna Red Hots! Yes, that's the one I was thinking of.

[@erink7050]

thisbrokenmachine We used to always do cinnamon challenges at Valentine's with cinnamon hearts

[@dampa4220]

@Stefan: Mit dem Kaugummi meintest du bestimmt Hubba Bubba! :-)

[@xNujeL]

Omg the first two and the spray we had as well. The memories are all coming back omg. :D

[@carolgage4569]

I loved Stephan’s face on the green apple 🍏 sour gum! 😀

[@StanRaufzeil]

mr germany gets diabetes could also be a title for video.

[@Markle2k]

Reese's should be peeled and deconstructed with your teeth, slowly. All chocolate and then a solid hit of peanut butter. And then do the other half. You missed two things. Butterfingers and frozen Charleston Chew shattered into pieces. Three. Lemonheads.

[@magicalomaha2804]

You two are adorable together!

[@wernermaurer3164]

Some of those bring back memories!

[@FearGFX]

The only American candy I've ever had was candy corn, and it was horrible!

[@user-xy6yj3fo9y]

FearGFX I've always thought those taste kinda like wax with a little sugar in it - some people like it, though... Sorry it was your only American candy experience :(

[@carolgage4569]

FearGFX Right. It's not popular...only traditional during October.

[@user-xy6yj3fo9y]

Carol Gage Oh, totally - I feel like a lot of people essentially use it just for decorative purposes, too... Putting it out in a display, fully aware that few (if any) people will eat it.

[@thegrayghost1786]

FearGFX Yeah, pretty much every American hates it.

[@izzytoons]

Kinda like marzipan.

[@corvuscorone7735]

What does Candy Cotton even taste like? It's just sugar, it has no taste...

[@Endoptic]

In the US, the pink stuff has a distinct flavor. It's not just sugar.

[@roxcyn]

Corvus Corone - light, fluffy and a sugary taste.

[@LisaRoberts9]

You are such a cute couple! I love learning about cross cultural experiences with you!

[@Quinquintje]

I always like the videos with Mr. German Man a lot

[@deidrassidekick282]

am I the only one who can eat a fireball candy without spitting it out? they just aren't that hot to meXD I'm weird

[@Jess-nz7be]

Deidra's Sidekick Deidara is shit got nothing on Itachi

[@Endoptic]

I'm not aware of anyone spitting them out in the US South, except people who simply tried one but don't ever eat them again. Even those of the family that don't do "spicy" don't spit them out. As a kid, we just ate the damn things. The only challenge was biting through one. I don't even...

[@Maddie-nx7kk]

Does anyone else find it incredibly cringey that she continually calls her husband Mr. German Man???

[@jovetj]

No.

[@autonomiq_org8794]

Mr. German's face shrunk to one square inch when he tried the sour candy. Absolutely funny! - Janny & Matt & JF

[@melissagregory8790]

You Guys are the Cutest!!❤😍 and Yes ive had all thoes candies because i live in the US
