When I was a little kid back in the late 1960's I would beg my mom to buy me candy cigarettes... We were very conservative Christians and smoking was a mortal sin... One day when we were leaving the store, the owner slipped me a bag with a pack of candy cigarettes... That was my best guilty pleasure of all time...

[@berniej.rucker4252]

When I was younger, one tip of our candy cigarettes had a red tip on one end as well and we used to suck on them to make it look like we were "smoking" the candy.

[@LilStampBug]

I was born in 1972 and I totally remember the candy cigarettes... They had 2 types... 1 was bubble gum and had a powder coating inside the wrapper of the cigarette and when you blew out the powder would come out like smoke...and the 2nd was the hard white ones with the red tip and I agree with the comment above they tasted like Pepto bismol.... What I wouldn't give to go back in time to back then ....simpler happier times in the world. But terrible to make kids think smoking was cool 🤦🤦🤦

[@beehappy1740]

14:40 Candy cigarettes back in the 70s also had a red center to make it look like it was lit. AND it had powder sugar and you could "blow smoke" one or two times.

[@jimhoyt5]

When I was a kid the candy cigarettes did have red on the ends. They became less popular and remarketed because certain groups said that the candy companies were "promoting smoking". I think you should try items you already have in NZ because they may taste differently because you may have a different manufacturer. Such as Kit Kat - the ones you have are made by Nestle but in the U.S. they are made by Hershey, so they may taste slightly (or drastically) different.

[@stephanievivier290]

I knew there was a cigarette bubble gum. I just mentioned that up top. LOL 🤣😂

[@charlenecorbin4815]

I remember all those candy cigarettes! The pebbly textured solid candy ones, the bubble gum ones and chocolate ones. The gum and chocolate ones came individually wrapped in paper sleeves to look just like real cigarettes and they were both lightly dusted with powdered sugar under the wrappers so if you held them just right you could act all cool blowing out sugar "smoke" at the beginning. All three kinds used to be available everywhere back in the day before they put the Surgeon General's cancer warning on tobacco products.

Beanie weenies: Hotdogs cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces and cooked in baked beans. Baked beans: 1 can of pork and beans, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of mustard, bring to a boil, turn them down to low, and cook for about 15 minutes. Stir often.

[@mikea1714]

When you guys get something like Rolo’s that you already have there you should still try it as there’s usually changes with ingredients when US products go to different countries. Maybe even start a occasional series called US vs NZ where you do back to back taste tests of things you get that you get that you do have there.

Ben's Sugar Shack is the company name. The item is "Maple Candy" and is available like that one which was Flower shaped, as well as Heart shaped, Bunnies, and Maple Leaf shapes. Interestingly, the actual first letter of "Ye Olde" is the letter "Ч" and isn't pronouned like a Y. It's actually the Old English letter representing a "TH" so "Чe Olde" is just "The Old."

Hello from Georgia, USA. Love your videos. The juicy fruit brings back childhood memories for me. We used to visit my grandfather every Sunday. He would meet me and my brother on the front porch with a dollar bill and a pack of juicy fruit gum. Sadly he passed when I was still very young but whenever I see juicy fruit, it puts a smile on my face.

[@joanneperry8021]

The Maple Sugar Candy isn't usually that rock hard...I guess the "travel time" took its toll. (You could try to reconstitute it as maple syrup with a little bit of warm water and heat or just crush it down and sprinkle on top of frosting on cookies or cake.) I'm pleased you had so much fun with the contents of the box... Oh, the Boston Cream Pie Atlanta made looked delicious. Good show Atlanta! I would only say that the chocolate frosting looked a bit light in color, like milk chocolate...most of the B.C. Pies I've eaten had a darker frosting, not actually bitter, perhaps a bit more semi-sweet. The worse B.C. Pie I ever ate was from a grocery store (in Pennsylvania) and it was made with chocolate cake. I had never seen such a thing, so I had to try it. Just shockingly untraditional. However, Pennsylvania bakers make wonderful Shoo Fly Pies (made with molasses, so the filling is quite dark in color). I'll send you recipes.

[@marydavis5234]

I live in Vermont, We have two versions of Maple Candy, one is soft and melts as soon as in goes in your mouth and one that is a Hard Maple Candy, the one in the video looks like it should be the softer version

The latest loss are the Cain's pickles and relishes...the company bought out in 2021 and off the shelves now. I'm of the English Perry lines but I knew that it was also a Portuguese name.

Snacks that we grew up on were Little Debbie's snack cakes (Peanut Butter Bars were my favorite), and being that I grew up in Texas, there were many Mexican candies that were sold in all the stores as well. I also enjoyed Atlanta's vlog of her making the Boston Cream Pie and believe that you might also enjoy Chess Bars. (Chess... not cheese). Enjoy watching y'all !

When you guys come to the US, you have got to take a day for Hershey, PA. They have plenty to do there but y'all will absolutely love the Hershey Chocolate Factory tour. (Granted I have only been once way back in the '80s, but I just checked to make sure and it looks like it's still a wonderful and fun attraction to visit.) Great video. Sam, the peppermint stick gum you would like is called Doublemint. Also, I think the baked beans and "hot dogs" she may have been referring to is also called "beanie-weenies". A lot of people just call hot dog weenies "hot dogs". But I could be wrong. Baked beans on a hot dog would be an interesting combo actually. One more thing.

I remember some of my favorites were: Anise; Butterscotch; Cherry; Horehound; and Root Beer (made of actual sassafras that grew wild around where I lived.) We also had elderberry trees; blackberry plants; and boysenberry and blueberry farms where we could go pick our own every autumn. There were apple trees and cherry trees available too. I digress now though back to the "sweet" sticks that cost us a nickel a stick so we went often. One of my sister's liked licorice as well and the other lived sour apple. All in all, there were a wide variety of flavors to choose from. The store even sold rock candy as well. You guys trying these different older candies reminded me of them.

In some places on the interstate there are Russell Stover outlets. They have everything. Growing up in Missouri, Russell Stover candy was always everywhere.

The candy called Boston Baked Beans are, I think, supposed to look like a bean after baking. But it's candy-coated nuts & bears no relation to baked beans. Use navy beans, or small white beans, cook forever, mix with minced onion, molasses, etc. & bake. You can find recipes online or any standard US cookbook. Or take the easy way out & get either Bush's or B&M canned baked beans. Beanie Weinees: boil hot dogs (weiners) for 2 minutes, slice into "coins," and add to baked beans while you heat up the beans. Very popular for quick & easy lunches, "kiddie food," or a fast Saturday supper.

Oh, and I also lived in Pennsylvania for a little while, and they do indeed have a lot of local brands of candies, snacks, even a particular flavor of chewing gum / ice cream called Teaberry that you just can't find anywhere else.

The candy cigarettes bring back memories of Halloween in the 70’s & 80’s here in Virginia. Didn’t see them much other times of the year here outside Washington, DC. We would see them in convenience stores in the southern part of the state where tobacco farms were common.

I love Boston Baked Beans! When I eat them, I hold them on my mouth for a few seconds to soften them up before eating. We had the candy cigarettes when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. They used to have the red tip on them when I was a kid, but eventually that disappeared and the candy is now called candy sticks. They typically are only found in novelty stores and/or shops now.

The first maple syrup candy was made by pouring hot maple syrup into fresh snow, the syrup hardens and turns into candy. I could buy candy cigarettes when I was a kid, they did have a red tip and there were different brand boxes. We didn't buy them because they tasted good, we bought them because they were fun.

Candy cigarettes - growing up in the late 50s and 60's. It was a special treat when in the 5 and dime store. Then smoking was big back then. Grew up in a smoking house - mom and dad smoked but later quit smoking. None of us kids smoked (4) and glad we didn't ever start. Take care - Be safe and have a good winter. Just getting warm up in the midwest. Was 85F Sunday but todays high is a mere 40F. But better then our low for the year of -15F.

I really enjoyed watching your reaction to American snacks. Thank you

Baked beans with hotdogs is actually made with hotdogs cut up and mixed in with the baked beans -- baked beans are rather sweet, so the saltiness of the hotdog pieces give it a nice sweet & savory flavor blend. Nice! When growing up in Michigan during the 60s & 70s, candy cigarettes were still very common. As young boys who occasionally wanted to act "grown up" or "rebellious" -- but wouldn't dare steal any of Dad's cigarettes -- these did the job for us.

We still had the candy cigs in new york during the early 2000s when I was a kid they had the red on the end as well. I haven't seen them in a long time.
