As someone from Puerto Rico, hearing people hate chocolate and coconut is wild. We love dried coconut and coconut shavings over to death, it's a common topping on desserts.
There’s actually a common dessert in Newfoundland called snowballs that’s just marshmallows rolled into a ball and covered with chocolate and coconut. It’s actually pretty popular, especially around the holidays because of its wintery name.
I used to love them as a kid, my school would hand out a few as rewards. As an adult though, it's cloyingly sweet to me. I can't eat more than a couple without reaching for something salty to get all the overpowered sweetness out of my mouth.
Never did I hear about our Smarties being one of the most hated sweets, as I personally grew up eating them and have enjoyed getting them from time to time, especially the white chocolate variety! What a strange world, we live in!
I tried Circus Peanuts for the first time a year ago and they were SO confusing to me. Both the texture and flavor were completely different than I expected. I didn't like it.. lol
My step family are Dutch, and I can confirm that licorice is definitely a European thing. My mom gets my stepdad licorice for Christmas as his candy in the stocking, and my sister and I can never understand how he is able to eat those things without cringing.
For those of us who remember the schoolyard Halloween candy currency exchange, we coconut lovers made out like BANDITS! I have always loved coconut! The going rate of one Mars bar to 3-5 coconut bars meant I could easily triple my candy haul.
For those who don't know, Bounty Bars aren't available in the US, but are similar to what we have called "Mounds," with the nut version called "Almond Joy" I adore Almond Joys.
I felt so bad for Strider while I was watching him eat that generic brand Easter Egg chocolate. You know a candy is truly terrible when it sparks early childhood mental trauma in someone almost in their mid 30’s.
@@nine_tails137 milk chocolate that's been left to go bad for a year. I suspect it was the good chocolate left over from the Easter previously repackaged for poor people.
I´m lucky I live in Belgium. Even generic branded Easter eggs taste good because they´re still made from Belgian chocolat. I´m sorry for the rest of the world. 😅
The Bounty debate brings to mind Mounds and Almond Joy. I can't help but wonder if the addition of whole almonds to dark chocolate and coconut only makes matters worse.
Personally the flavor of Bounty ain't my issue. It's the texture. The mix of soft creamy chocolate mixed with rough flakey coconut is just not a good combo.
Generic easter chocolate is one of my guilty pleasures Its really hard to match the "unique" taste of bottom of the barrel chocolate like that, but man do I love it, in very limited moderation
Omg thank you!! Me and my mom also have one or two bags each year, like when theyre still in stores months after easter and are 50% off. The experience of unwrapping them and trying to bite only one half off makes them almost taste better than actual good chocolate
Reminds of how much I actually enjoy Sixlets, which are cheap chocolate (I think they don't have any actual chocolate in them, just the flavor). They are oddly addicting.
In defense of the original twinkie... When Hostess was purchased by Andy and Dean, all of the products have a different recipe. The filling is different in all of the products, not just the twinkie. For instance, the fruit pies don't have fruit in them. I grew up on them and abandoned them after the change. Just not worth the calories anymore 😢
In sure the new filling is toxic in its raw natural form where has mat suits and o2 respirators are required ppe. The filling might melt you like that bad guy in robocop if you got it on you.
Yeah. I got some recently out of desperation because I needed some quick sugar... and that's what I got. Just tasted sugary creme and the cake had no flavor to speak of. I remember when they had that light scent and flavor of banana. Now it's less flavorful than plain angel food cake.
As someone with a nut allergy, I'm actually a fan of British smarties and generic Easter eggs. They might not be the best tasting chocolates out there, but there's a lot to be said for not needing to worry about whether or not a dessert is going to kill me.
I don't have a nut allergy but as a child I preferred Smarties to M&Ms. As an adult, I prefer the M&Ms but I still like Smarties and I will eat them if they're on offer. I think the colourful branding of Smarties probably appeals more to children so maybe that's why.
There is a better option pick up generic organic or cooking chocolate and make your own chocolate eggs using a mould. Of course double check about if they are near nuts but as it’s such a serious allergy there has to be some never near nuts.
I've always found it weird that people hate coconut and chocolate. I'm from Puerto Rico, and coconut and chocolate is one of our favorite candy combinations!
I actually love candy corn and I couldn't get enough of them. I am that proud to be the minority when it comes to the taste of these waxy confections. Also, I found it really hilarious that Moose & Zee of all characters are desperate and willing enough to decide that they would resort to hacking just so they don't have to see a single kernel of candy corn in store shelves.
Damn I didn't knew Bountys were so hated, they're one of my favourite bars, also I was really confused when you mentioned the dry coconut, in my country at least the coconut in the Bounty bars is super juicy and moist.
Same. Bountys rocks! (I'm from central Europe). Americans seems so delusional about their sweets. They have the worst chocolate bars in the world but still complain about mixing coconut with milk chocolate. WTF?!
wait people don't like em? i think they're nice, chocolate and coconut is one of my favourite combinations! clearly they haven't tried marshmallow snowballs, those are really nice :)
Seeing you juggling those tiny, wonky-shaped, foil-wrapped eggs is even more impressive than your usual juggling! They look so awkward to handle, so kudos to you!
@@phantomstrider chocolate coins are worse. Imagine the worst chocolate you could imagine, shaped into coin shapes and surrounded in bright gold foil, then put in bags and left to sit for (years?) in shops. For worst savory snack, try dry loathsome Combos.
I've always been a mint-chocolate junkie, so I legitimately liked the mint M&Ms; was sad to see them vanish. As for black licorice, I can't stand the stuff. I'll always remember Codename: Kids Next Door literally associating black licorice with a curse and portraying even candy pirates as despising the stuff.
you would hate to meet my dad at a party then, i think they're okay but i wouldn't go out of my way to eat them, whenever someone brought favourites over he'd be the only one eating them
I never realized bounty's were so hated, always enjoyed them every once and a while. Not my all time favorite as peanut butter & chocolate is always my favorite combo, but I always thought the cocoanut & chocolate combo was nice too. Guess you learn something new every day lol.
Memories of a 90's kid from Hungary: way back when, the Bounty bar used to be something new and exciting for us. It was one of the first "Western" chocolate bars distributed in my area, available for a larger consumer base, not just the super rich. There were TV commecials for it, I still remember it showing a tropical island with the tagline "Bounty: The tase of Eden" or similar. We used to love it! And there were some really good generic Easter eggs, right from the "100 forintos bolt", the Hungarian equivalent of the dollar store. I think they were made from real chocolate, not nougat or similar. They were available for a couple of years. What you can get now are really bad
Yeah, I think that if the UK were a dictatorship like Airstrip One and someone somehow smuggled in a mid candy bar, it would be seen as the most delicious thing ever.
“Caramels, they’d get stuck in your braces wouldn’t it? Lollipops, what we called ‘cavities on a stick.’ Then we have all this, all this chocolate.” Dr. Wilbur Wonka
I can't believe I grew up thinking a lot of people liked American Smarties. I actually really enjoy the taste and I still take them from friends to eat lol it's definitely an acquired taste with the chalk texture.
I like both American and Canadian Smarties (I like the chocolate better in Canadian Smarties than M&Ms). I like that they are little pieces that you can eat rather than a bar . And there is something about American Smarties (known as Rockets in Canada) that are really addictive
The problem with American Smarties, is that they are mostly just compressed tablets of dextrose sugar, and little else. Whereas the British, and Canadian Smarties are chocolate buttons with a candy coating. I personally will take a bulk bag of them to snack on whenever I can, over one of M&M's almost any day, as the M&M's are just too sweet for my palette at least. But this is just a personal opinion of mine and should in no way be construed as a generalized statement about British/Canadian Smarties vs. American Smarties.
i honestly had no idea there were a different kind of smarties, tbh i like american smarties, they aren't something i'd seek out but honestly i think they're pretty tasty, but also i ate chalk as a kid so it might just be a result of that lmao
As an american, smarties were always decently popular among young boys, due to the fact some would crush them into a fine powder and recreate drug usage. Yes, some turned the mouth candy into nose candy. I kinda like them, but i also remember liking circus peanuts, and I love Bounty, so maybe I'm just a scientific anomaly.
As someone who has a peanut allergy and avoids M&Ms due to cross contamination concerns, British Smarties are rather special to me cause they were about as close as I got lol
@@phantomstriderIf I would fix the mint m&Ms I would actually put mint leaves in there grounded up. That's how it should have been Eminem's with mint leaves grounded up in there
It's really funny that at first I was offended that Smarties was on this list, but then I realized that I loved to eat chalk as a kid, so the entire reason I loved Smarties was because they had the taste and texture of something you shouldn't even be eating XD
One candy I hate and don’t see mentioned enough is the generic strawberry hard candies. I don’t even know what they’re called, who makes them, or where people even get them, but they always seem to show up around Halloween, and every old person will probably have them if they’re the type to have a candy dish/bowl somewhere around the house. The outside is okay, but they have this thick, gel-like center that has such an overly strong taste to it, it honestly reminds me of a cough medicine.
People don't like pretzel M&M's?! But pretzels and chocolate go together so well!! It's salty and sweet!! Who doesn't like salty with sweet?!!😱 I miss pretzel M&M's. Edit: Thank goodness we always got Hershey's eggs. I didn't know they had generic ones, but the wrappers look almost identical to the Hershey's!! I imagine the packaging is the only way to tell them apart, so if you just saw them in a bowl or Easter basket you'd never know!
Yeah the pretzel M&M's are my favourite probably helps that I usually have to go to a bigger city to get it because it's not that common were I'm at so it feels kind of special. Also I just tend to like savoury and sweet combos.
Personally, I really like American smarties. I'm not really a fan of very overly sweet things, so the more, I guess, mild taste of smarties is appealing to me. In fact, when my friends and I were staying in a hotel together we got a bunch of smarties, opened them, put them all in a cup, and took "sips" of the cup, which was really just eating a mouthful of smarties
I have a three pound bag of them in my room. Odd thing is I got it before I had my gall bladder removed, and afterwards, I had issues with heartburn, so started buying the store brand of Tums chewables, which taste exactly like Smarties candy, much to my delight.
My husband did an experiment similar to that Twinkie one, but with a Devil Dog. It's similar to a Twinkie but chocolate cake. He left one on the dashboard of his car and didn't want to eat it, so he decided to see what would happen if he left it there. Apparently, the plastic wrapper decayed and fell apart, and the Devil Dog still had no mold on it.
I like Twinkies, and I'll get them if I can find them on the Manager's Special shelf. I liked Suzy Qs, too, but I can't find them anymore. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to find some copycat recipes on the internet.
Oreo Exectutive: Alright, what type of new oreo flavor should we make next? Some random worker: SWEDISH. FISH! Oreo Executive: Give this man a raise he's a literal GENIUS!!!
What is it with Oreo and all these whack-ass flavours? Give it up, Nabisco, you’ve already made the world’s favorite sandwich cookie. You don’t need to do anything else
im one of the very rare people who loves bounty chocolate. I just love coconut flavored things, and it never bothered my throat personally. I totally understand why some dont like it, but ill be here in my corner loving them. (theyre not hated where i come from too, i had no idea people didnt like them in other parts of the world until this video) The coconut inside is also never dry, its always very juicy in my country.
Over here in the States, we have Mounds bars instead, and they are a beloved candy bar, so I don't know what Bounty is doing wrong, though I did read they only have the milk chocolate version available now, while Mounds uses a less sweet dark chocolate. Bounty is more like an Almond Joy bar, sans almonds.
As a person from the uk the smarties hate is unbelievable. I bet most kids in the uk would pick smarties over m&m's. m&m's chocolate might just be different here in the uk but it tastes far better as well imo. The colours are all natural which even leads the orange one to have an orange fruit flavour to it. I do understand though that they are more ment for kids which is why they might be less sweet and have more 'healthy' attributes to them...
I'm American and while we do have smarties there the crappy chalk like candy and not M&Ms brother in law. As far as I know, you can't get *_real_* smarties in the states, or at least I can't find them here in Michigan.
i have always loved smarties and didnt like the nutty m and ms. especially now that i know m and ms are not vegetarian. smarties are so so cool and i used to always love it as a kid. it is like skittles but with chocolate. i didn't know that american smarties are chalky wth
Those pretzel ones are so good! I remember buying them throughout my high school years, crying when they stopped production, and crying again a year or so ago when I saw them while checking out at Walmart. They're one of my favourite chocolates!
I used to eat a ton of chocolate eggs. I once ate a 1 lb. chocolate rabbit during a school trip. I eat any milk chocolate that lacks a filling. These days it's Jersey Milk, Dairy Milk, AERO, and Lindt Bars. I think I might be a Chocoholic.😆
@@OriginalContent89 Not when I was young. I have a high tolerance. I'm in my 40s now, so I only eat a bar a day (plus Malteasers). So I don't know if I have the same tolerance. During Christmas I eat many Lindt chocolates and I feel fine.
As a Gen Z American Im shocked candy corn is so hated. I always loved it when i during Halloween, alongside peanut butter cups and twix. I totally agree with the Easter egg candy, i still ate it as a kid, but it used to give me headaches if i ate more than a few bites.
up here in brazil we have this candy called "prestigio"- it's basically a bounty bar except it's quite crunchy and the coconut is in the perfect level of sweetness, and in fact it's my favorite chocolate bar of all time! so yeah, i think coconut + chocolate is actually a very nice combination; if you ever go to são paulo or pretty much anywhere in brazil, i very much recommend trying it out
I'm German, and I absolutely love Black Licorice. The more south you get to Europe, the sweeter they seem to be, but only the real salty Scandinavian one is the best. But I also don't like sweet candies, so give me all the licorice you don't want!
I'm the weird one here with the Mint Chocolate MnMs. I absolutely love them! That said I kind of had a feeling it's not very popular. My entire family hates them meaning when I get them I don't have to share lol. No one else will touch these and I feel like I have my very own snack in my big family. I thought they were discontinued but thanks to your video I looked them up and I guess I can still buy them from the company directly. Just ordered 12 large bags
I'll never forget buying a family pack of strawberry twizzlers thinking they'd taste like any strawberry gummy, and finding out then and there that I despise anything resembling licorice.
8:35 I keep forgetting that Hoodlum and Strider are friends! 😂 whenever Hoodlum appears on screen it takes me back to when I used to watch his TH-cam channel when I first got into Creepypasta and 😂
It's funny hearing you bring up the generic Easter egg chocolates. As a kid my mom exclusively bought Easter chocolates from the Dollar Tree. I noticed it tasted kinda weird but I still liked it enough to eat them all. Maybe I had an acquired taste from eating then for so many years. I wonder if adult me would still like it as I haven't had them for years now 😂
As far as the Oreo/Swedish Fish combo goes,some candy stores actually sell chocolate covered Swedish Fish. They sell fairly well and the combination in that form isnt as bad. I used to be a stock supervisor at a candy store in Las Vegas and tourists were in love with these.
I feel like the oreos weren’t as enjoyed because of two factors. For one the cookies aren’t exactly the same as straight up chocolate. And you also have the fact that the cream only attempts to emulate the taste of a Swedish fish, and that attempt is going to be hit or miss. It’s not really the same as taking a swedish fish and completely covering it in milk chocolate or something.
I love dirt. (It sounds gross but bare with me) Dirt (or dirt cake) is a delicious combination between chocolate cake mixed with a chocolate cream that also has gummy worms in it, and It's soooo good. I've only ever gotten it at a barbeque place in Tennessee, because it is unfortunately uncommon. It's basically Mississippi mud, but with gummy worms, and It comes from the south (I'm pretty sure it might not) where I have roots from. (My grandpa was born in Kentucky)
During the Twinkie Panic of 2012, my family managed to get a single box because my brother and I had never actually tasted them. That was the last Twinkie I've ever had. I tasted it and promptly decided it would not be a tragedy if they were discontinued.
Ironically, when the company that owned twinkies went out of business and we bought up a few years later, they had to increase the shelf life to make them profitable again.
*Rockets or Smarties?* Here, in Canada, we have both! Funny story: my mother used to be under the unfortunate _care_ of a doctor who would prescribe her lots and lots of pills. This meant that there were lots of empty pill bottles around the house. Since my favourite candy, at the time, was the chocolate Smarties, I would sort them by colour, put them in cleaned pill bottles and create my own little Smarties medecine cabinet in an old shoe box. When my mother would be taking a pill, I would eat a Smarties button candy to mimic her. Seeing me eat so many candies made her realize just how many pills she was gulping down so she eventually quit the pills and the doctor. So did I, lay off the Smarties... Another triumph for Smarties!
Sadly, I actually really enjoy the generic rate eggs, candy corn, and licorice (and I would probably LOVE bounty bars) but I get where others are coming from. I think my not so good taste in candy comes from only being allowed sugar free stuff as a child. 🤣
The red filling Oreos made me remember some holiday Oreos that also had red filling, but still tasted the same of the regular white filling. I honestly almost gagged when I saw them because I ate said holiday Oreos when I was a kid, and I ate a little too much then I should have, because I got sick in the middle of the night and didn’t even make it to the bathroom. My mom came in, and we both were disgusted by the mess. It looked like I threw up blood. Nowadays I can’t even look at Oreos without gagging, whether their red or not.
@soaringfox1620, me too, except mine was Hershey's Snow Caps. One time, I stayed at my mom's friends' house with her and my brother in 2000 on a weekend. That night, my babysitter let me have snow caps and I ate too many on accident and threw up in their downstairs bathroom but on the floor in front of the toilet ☹️. That was in the middle of the night. Once I woke up my mom and told her what happened, she helped me clean it up. 😢
I love every little Strider morsel we get, no bad "strider snacks" in this package! For an episode idea, why not look at banned or wacky commercials? Perhaps look at the "Blank the rainbow taste the rainbow." commercials from Skittles, I know they got StRaNgE.
I think the mint m&ms are best used in baking. Mix them in chocolate cookies and you get a flavor as delicious as those overpriced Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies 🍪 😋
Man, I remember having Bounty as favorite candy in my childhood. It was kinda surprising hear about them being hated. I didn't taste it in a long time, so I don't know if my relationship with it now would've been the same
Marshmellows in general are already way too sweet for me but peeps take it to another level. They are so grossly sweet. Thise heart candies are similar on hoe gross theu are but theyre both hross for a different reason, those heart things are rock fucking hard and taste like paper sprinkled with a microgram of sugar while peeps feel like my tongue is being violated and is itchy. I dont like intense amounts of sugar, hell i cant even finish a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. Most american "foods" are too overloaded with sugar for me so i may just not be used to clogging my arteries but eugh
Agree Marshmallows are perfectly fine on their own, doesn't need to be covered in disgusting sugar. Peeps and Neco Waffers are the worst candy, Change My Mind. I actually like Swedish Fish, Licorice, Circus Peanuts, Artificial Banana. Don't mind Candy Corn in moderation.
Oreo makes a peanut butter Oreo. They are my absolute favorite ones. I don't know if they are Reese's or not though but they are good either way. I live in the Mohawk Valley area of NY so maybe they don't have them in to many areas around the world. The mint m&m's were my neighbor's favorite ones so I would get him a bad once in a while when I saw them. The pretzel one are good to. Chocolate and pretzels go good together. Candy corn was the worst of all I think, but to each there own.
I love bounty chocolates, whenever I've had celebrations it's always the mars bars chocolates that nobody wants and are left in the celebrations box. That's disappointing to find out that they have removed bounty bars from celebration boxes. Jenna xx 😀
I love the Swedish Fish. Truly a very unique flavor for candy. That being said I never tried the Swedish Fish Oreos. Because they kind of grossed me out. And never really found them appealing from the get go.
I'm starting to wonder if mint was the victim of some sort of thousand-year long slander campaign or something like that. Also, coconut and chocolate are a good combination, dammit!
I always liked Zingers more than Twinkies though I was never huge into either. They were occasional cravings. It's actually been so long since I've had one that I don't even know if Zingers are still around or not.
I *LOVE* Bounty bars. They are easily my favourite chocolate. And always my first choice when opening a Celebrations tub. I am genuinely going to be sad to see them gone from the tub.
I completely understand the “who’s buying this stuff?” Sentiment. I work at a grocery store and I’ll see some of the most disgusting sounding stuff on the shelves. Who thought Peeps flavored Pepsi would be tasty?
I adored the generic easter chocolate eggs as a kid. No one would ever eat them so I would munch on them for weeks on end. I still seek them out at times as an adult!
From what I’ve could tell, unbranded easter eggs might taste better or worse depending on the manufacturer. I remember Canada having decent enough off-brand eggs. They weren’t amazing, but the sugar didn’t really overpower me. A lot of people I know tend to buy them for baking and cake decorating. UK/Canada smarties are also a popular choice for cake decorating because of their muted taste compared to other chocolate buttons.
There are 2 types of licorice: bitter one and salty one. I despisethe salty ones, but the bitter ones are one of my all time vavourites. Also, I really like Bounty. As a matter of fact, I truly love the coconut in chocolate combination :)
I work for Fred Meyer which is owned by Kroger and was working there when the Swedish Fish Oreo cookies came out. As you know the Swedish fish Oreo was exclusive to Kroger and it was no surprise that they didn’t sell well.
I can confirm that we love black licorice in Iceland, most popular candy in the country is basically chocolate-covered licorice bits. There also variety like salt and pepper flavors licorice, one of the main snack that I eat while working pepper flavored chocolate almonds.
I used to look at candy corn on tv and wonder what flavour it had (I had fantasies of it tasting like buttery sweet popcorn) then I finally tried one as a young adult and found that they taste like a crumbly old honey scented candle.
18:46 the apple cheddar chips were probably thinking of a savory version of apple pie with cheese. However the cheese you use with apple pie is NOT smoked.
I think there was probably a point in time where Twinkies were made in smaller batches and resembled baked goods. The last time I had a Twinkie was probably in the year 2000 it was pretty bad lol.
Im glad you can enjoy the weird cum colored chunks covered in 20 year old chocolate that I can't eat without vomiting. But don't be surprised when bounty and mounds bars end up discontinuing.
I actually liked Twinkies. I even tried them recently during my break at my job at Fred Meyers. But one junk food I didn't like was chocolate flavored Skittles. I tried them from my college vending machine and I regretted it and couldn't even finish the bag.

That’s true. In a Halloween bag you were almost certain to get almond joys, so if you were the rare bird who liked them you had a lot of leverage.
For those who don't know, Bounty Bars aren't available in the US, but are similar to what we have called "Mounds," with the nut version called "Almond Joy"
I adore Almond Joys.

I remember when Family Guy made fun of Mounds bars
Personally the flavor of Bounty ain't my issue. It's the texture. The mix of soft creamy chocolate mixed with rough flakey coconut is just not a good combo.
I personally enjoy bounty I remember my brother doesn’t like the taste of the candy lol

Omg thank you!! Me and my mom also have one or two bags each year, like when theyre still in stores months after easter and are 50% off. The experience of unwrapping them and trying to bite only one half off makes them almost taste better than actual good chocolate
I bought some Palmer brand Easter bunnies after Easter along with some Lindt ones. I also bought Reese's eggs and Hershey.
This is exactly how I feel as well! I have always loved those terrible Easter eggs. I don’t know why. Nothing hits the way that they do.

In sure the new filling is toxic in its raw natural form where has mat suits and o2 respirators are required ppe. The filling might melt you like that bad guy in robocop if you got it on you.
I had one new Twinkie. No thanks. They were never my favorite but they were ok. The new ones? Not so much.
Yeah. I got some recently out of desperation because I needed some quick sugar... and that's what I got. Just tasted sugary creme and the cake had no flavor to speak of. I remember when they had that light scent and flavor of banana. Now it's less flavorful than plain angel food cake.
I love Twinkies
I once loved to get a few coins to grab Twinkies or Hostess Pies. The new recipes are horrendous.
We may hate these junk foods. But man, we will always love Strider and his amazing videos. Keep up the good work man.
True
Tbh I enjoy the videos about junk food but I’m beginning to miss when he used to make videos about cartoons
He should be a taste tester someday, but he should definitely stay away from Coca-Cola since he hates it so much
Lol here before this is popular

As someone with a nut allergy, I'm actually a fan of British smarties and generic Easter eggs. They might not be the best tasting chocolates out there, but there's a lot to be said for not needing to worry about whether or not a dessert is going to kill me.
Same!! :)
Don't diss my childhood snacks
I don't have a nut allergy but as a child I preferred Smarties to M&Ms.
As an adult, I prefer the M&Ms but I still like Smarties and I will eat them if they're on offer.
I think the colourful branding of Smarties probably appeals more to children so maybe that's why.
There is a better option pick up generic organic or cooking chocolate and make your own chocolate eggs using a mould. Of course double check about if they are near nuts but as it’s such a serious allergy there has to be some never near nuts.
Or make the chocolate using cocoa powder etc (sieve it for smoothness)
I've always found it weird that people hate coconut and chocolate. I'm from Puerto Rico, and coconut and chocolate is one of our favorite candy combinations!
I actually love candy corn and I couldn't get enough of them. I am that proud to be the minority when it comes to the taste of these waxy confections.
Also, I found it really hilarious that Moose & Zee of all characters are desperate and willing enough to decide that they would resort to hacking just so they don't have to see a single kernel of candy corn in store shelves.
Love might be a strong word, but they aren't terrible. I'll eat them if they're there, but it's not like I'll go out of my way to get some.
Smarties are actually one of my favorite candies, but I can see why they’re despised. I personally like the chalky texture
Glad there widely available then.
Same here. Idk why but I always preferred the "chalk" candies to chocolate.
Same here, Smarties are my favorite candy.
same with Necco Wafers which my dad loves
@@Garyisubercool For me, I have the same deal because I'm sensitive to caffeine (it gives me a headache)
14:48 It was good enough to convince Edmund to sell out his siblings
The lion, witch and the wardrobe. That was my first thought too!
tbf it probably didn't have chocolate coating on it.
I like Turkish Delight myself but the idea of coating it in chocolate seems weird.
Damn I didn't knew Bountys were so hated, they're one of my favourite bars, also I was really confused when you mentioned the dry coconut, in my country at least the coconut in the Bounty bars is super juicy and moist.
Same. Bountys rocks! (I'm from central Europe). Americans seems so delusional about their sweets. They have the worst chocolate bars in the world but still complain about mixing coconut with milk chocolate. WTF?!
@@isabelaeyris6932 Whoa! Hold up, there. I'm American and I *like* coconut and chocolate combined. Especially in the form of 7 Layer Cookies. 🙂
I love bounty, and never had it be dry? how strange
I'm American, I prefer Mounds with the dark chocolate and coconut.
wait people don't like em? i think they're nice, chocolate and coconut is one of my favourite combinations! clearly they haven't tried marshmallow snowballs, those are really nice :)
Seeing you juggling those tiny, wonky-shaped, foil-wrapped eggs is even more impressive than your usual juggling! They look so awkward to handle, so kudos to you!
Do you remember when bits of the Foyle would actually get stuck on the chocolate
Are they as bad as the generic peanut/choc flavour eggs in America at easter? Had them on a family holiday, revolting things!
Thanks! 😁 Had to do 3 takes of that one lol.
@@phantomstrider chocolate coins are worse. Imagine the worst chocolate you could imagine, shaped into coin shapes and surrounded in bright gold foil, then put in bags and left to sit for (years?) in shops. For worst savory snack, try dry loathsome Combos.
The lidl chocolate coins are ok ish. Not unlike galaxy in taste. I raise you with the chocolate In generic advent calendars 😩(not the branded ones)
I've always been a mint-chocolate junkie, so I legitimately liked the mint M&Ms; was sad to see them vanish. As for black licorice, I can't stand the stuff. I'll always remember Codename: Kids Next Door literally associating black licorice with a curse and portraying even candy pirates as despising the stuff.
The best part of actually being a fan of Frys Turkish Delight is that whenever a box of favourites is pulled out I won't have to fight anyone for it
you would hate to meet my dad at a party then, i think they're okay but i wouldn't go out of my way to eat them, whenever someone brought favourites over he'd be the only one eating them
I never realized bounty's were so hated, always enjoyed them every once and a while. Not my all time favorite as peanut butter & chocolate is always my favorite combo, but I always thought the cocoanut & chocolate combo was nice too. Guess you learn something new every day lol.
Yeah, it is common in Puerto Rico. We eat coconut things all the time XD. I was just so surprise that people hate it. Love from Puerto Rican ❤🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I always liked these. I don't get them very often, but Bountys and Mounds are both on my 'good' list.
You must be everyone's favourite family member.
"Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't; Almond Joy's got nuts, Bounty don't..."
Memories of a 90's kid from Hungary: way back when, the Bounty bar used to be something new and exciting for us. It was one of the first "Western" chocolate bars distributed in my area, available for a larger consumer base, not just the super rich. There were TV commecials for it, I still remember it showing a tropical island with the tagline "Bounty: The tase of Eden" or similar. We used to love it! And there were some really good generic Easter eggs, right from the "100 forintos bolt", the Hungarian equivalent of the dollar store. I think they were made from real chocolate, not nougat or similar. They were available for a couple of years. What you can get now are really bad
Yeah, I think that if the UK were a dictatorship like Airstrip One and someone somehow smuggled in a mid candy bar, it would be seen as the most delicious thing ever.
“Caramels, they’d get stuck in your braces wouldn’t it? Lollipops, what we called ‘cavities on a stick.’ Then we have all this, all this chocolate.” Dr. Wilbur Wonka
I instantly remembered Sir Christopher Lee protrayed Wilbur Wonka .
I can't believe I grew up thinking a lot of people liked American Smarties. I actually really enjoy the taste and I still take them from friends to eat lol it's definitely an acquired taste with the chalk texture.
I really like them too although I'm in Canada
I like both American and Canadian Smarties (I like the chocolate better in Canadian Smarties than M&Ms). I like that they are little pieces that you can eat rather than a bar . And there is something about American Smarties (known as Rockets in Canada) that are really addictive
@@jacquelynrich5864 taking your time with them with slowly sucking on them makes them taste great
The problem with American Smarties, is that they are mostly just compressed tablets of dextrose sugar, and little else. Whereas the British, and Canadian Smarties are chocolate buttons with a candy coating. I personally will take a bulk bag of them to snack on whenever I can, over one of M&M's almost any day, as the M&M's are just too sweet for my palette at least. But this is just a personal opinion of mine and should in no way be construed as a generalized statement about British/Canadian Smarties vs. American Smarties.
i honestly had no idea there were a different kind of smarties, tbh i like american smarties, they aren't something i'd seek out but honestly i think they're pretty tasty, but also i ate chalk as a kid so it might just be a result of that lmao
As an american, smarties were always decently popular among young boys, due to the fact some would crush them into a fine powder and recreate drug usage. Yes, some turned the mouth candy into nose candy. I kinda like them, but i also remember liking circus peanuts, and I love Bounty, so maybe I'm just a scientific anomaly.
As someone who has a peanut allergy and avoids M&Ms due to cross contamination concerns, British Smarties are rather special to me cause they were about as close as I got lol
That's completely understandable. I hadn't thought of peanut allergies before and I definitely should've mentioned that :)
@@phantomstrider :)
@@phantomstrider You forgot to show a celebrations commercial where they advertised Bounty to come back to the box.
They have changed recipe smarties used to be unbelievable and moreish could easily eat a tube in one sitting now they’re overly sweet and taste awful!
@@phantomstriderIf I would fix the mint m&Ms I would actually put mint leaves in there grounded up. That's how it should have been Eminem's with mint leaves grounded up in there
It's really funny that at first I was offended that Smarties was on this list, but then I realized that I loved to eat chalk as a kid, so the entire reason I loved Smarties was because they had the taste and texture of something you shouldn't even be eating XD
Good to know.
One candy I hate and don’t see mentioned enough is the generic strawberry hard candies. I don’t even know what they’re called, who makes them, or where people even get them, but they always seem to show up around Halloween, and every old person will probably have them if they’re the type to have a candy dish/bowl somewhere around the house.
The outside is okay, but they have this thick, gel-like center that has such an overly strong taste to it, it honestly reminds me of a cough medicine.
Lol those be the ones at the bottom of grandma purse. She'll dig it out and blow the crumbs away before she hands it to you when sitting in church.
I never tried the Swedish Fish Oreos, but I feel like it would've been more palatable if they used the golden Oreo cookie instead of the chocolate one
I love the golden oreos... and you might have something there. Vanilla goes with damn near everything.
Two howdys in one video? This MUST be a special video!
People don't like pretzel M&M's?! But pretzels and chocolate go together so well!! It's salty and sweet!! Who doesn't like salty with sweet?!!😱 I miss pretzel M&M's.
Edit: Thank goodness we always got Hershey's eggs. I didn't know they had generic ones, but the wrappers look almost identical to the Hershey's!! I imagine the packaging is the only way to tell them apart, so if you just saw them in a bowl or Easter basket you'd never know!
Pretzel M&M are still on store shelves soo…..
People also pretend that pineapple pizza is an abomination, even though though the saltiness of pork and the sweetness of pineapple is a classic combo
@@NecromancyForKids nah. Fruit and cheese together is disgusting. Period.
I like Rold Gold which are fudge coated pretzels. For M&Ms I'll stick to the peanut M&Ms.
Yeah the pretzel M&M's are my favourite probably helps that I usually have to go to a bigger city to get it because it's not that common were I'm at so it feels kind of special. Also I just tend to like savoury and sweet combos.
18:51-18:56; 21:06-21:08 Seeing those clips of Moose and Zee singing about not liking candy corn took me back. Thank you for using those in the video!
Same!
I guess those "Circus Peanuts" that taste like nothing were so bad, he couldn't even rate them without vomiting
Personally, I really like American smarties. I'm not really a fan of very overly sweet things, so the more, I guess, mild taste of smarties is appealing to me. In fact, when my friends and I were staying in a hotel together we got a bunch of smarties, opened them, put them all in a cup, and took "sips" of the cup, which was really just eating a mouthful of smarties
I have a three pound bag of them in my room. Odd thing is I got it before I had my gall bladder removed, and afterwards, I had issues with heartburn, so started buying the store brand of Tums chewables, which taste exactly like Smarties candy, much to my delight.
My husband did an experiment similar to that Twinkie one, but with a Devil Dog. It's similar to a Twinkie but chocolate cake. He left one on the dashboard of his car and didn't want to eat it, so he decided to see what would happen if he left it there. Apparently, the plastic wrapper decayed and fell apart, and the Devil Dog still had no mold on it.
I like Twinkies, and I'll get them if I can find them on the Manager's Special shelf. I liked Suzy Qs, too, but I can't find them anymore. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to find some copycat recipes on the internet.
Preservatives dipsh!t duh
Oreo Exectutive: Alright, what type of new oreo flavor should we make next?
Some random worker: SWEDISH. FISH!

What is it with Oreo and all these whack-ass flavours? Give it up, Nabisco, you’ve already made the world’s favorite sandwich cookie. You don’t need to do anything else
im one of the very rare people who loves bounty chocolate. I just love coconut flavored things, and it never bothered my throat personally. I totally understand why some dont like it, but ill be here in my corner loving them. (theyre not hated where i come from too, i had no idea people didnt like them in other parts of the world until this video) The coconut inside is also never dry, its always very juicy in my country.
Over here in the States, we have Mounds bars instead, and they are a beloved candy bar, so I don't know what Bounty is doing wrong, though I did read they only have the milk chocolate version available now, while Mounds uses a less sweet dark chocolate. Bounty is more like an Almond Joy bar, sans almonds.
I personally love candy corn but I kind of understand why others don't like it. It's definitely an acquired taste
As a person from the uk the smarties hate is unbelievable. I bet most kids in the uk would pick smarties over m&m's. m&m's chocolate might just be different here in the uk but it tastes far better as well imo. The colours are all natural which even leads the orange one to have an orange fruit flavour to it. I do understand though that they are more ment for kids which is why they might be less sweet and have more 'healthy' attributes to them...
I'm American and while we do have smarties there the crappy chalk like candy and not M&Ms brother in law. As far as I know, you can't get *_real_* smarties in the states, or at least I can't find them here in Michigan.
i have always loved smarties and didnt like the nutty m and ms. especially now that i know m and ms are not vegetarian. smarties are so so cool and i used to always love it as a kid. it is like skittles but with chocolate. i didn't know that american smarties are chalky wth
British here, Smarties top normal M&Ms, I like the peanut ones though
@@TheBestCat1290vegetarian? Get a life
The way I died laughing at the comment 'GO HOME NABISCO, YOU'RE DRUNK' 🤣🤣
I thought minty chocolate would be a home run, had no idea people disliked the pretzel one
Same! The pretzel ones are my favorite
Those pretzel ones are so good! I remember buying them throughout my high school years, crying when they stopped production, and crying again a year or so ago when I saw them while checking out at Walmart. They're one of my favourite chocolates!
Yeah. I'm surprised to hear that too.
Pretzel was my fav flavor
Also suprised to hear that one is towards the bottom
I loved Pretzel and Crispy Mint
I used to eat a ton of chocolate eggs.
I once ate a 1 lb. chocolate rabbit during a school trip.
I eat any milk chocolate that lacks a filling.
These days it's Jersey Milk, Dairy Milk, AERO, and Lindt Bars.
I think I might be a Chocoholic.😆
@@OriginalContent89 Not when I was young. I have a high tolerance.
I'm in my 40s now, so I only eat a bar a day (plus Malteasers). So I don't know if I have the same tolerance. During Christmas I eat many Lindt chocolates and I feel fine.
As a Gen Z American Im shocked candy corn is so hated. I always loved it when i during Halloween, alongside peanut butter cups and twix.
I totally agree with the Easter egg candy, i still ate it as a kid, but it used to give me headaches if i ate more than a few bites.
Millennial here, is candy corn popular with Zoomers?
I assumed it was mostly popular with Boomers due to nostalgia.
As a Smarties lover, I can see how a lot more people hate it.
Which ones?
smarties give you the smarts also :D but these on list do not!
I also like smarties
there were chocolate buttons also called Smarties? i've only had the tart like candy version

Glad this channel has been so amazing for so long
up here in brazil we have this candy called "prestigio"- it's basically a bounty bar except it's quite crunchy and the coconut is in the perfect level of sweetness, and in fact it's my favorite chocolate bar of all time! so yeah, i think coconut + chocolate is actually a very nice combination; if you ever go to são paulo or pretty much anywhere in brazil, i very much recommend trying it out
I'm German, and I absolutely love Black Licorice. The more south you get to Europe, the sweeter they seem to be, but only the real salty Scandinavian one is the best. But I also don't like sweet candies, so give me all the licorice you don't want!
I'm the weird one here with the Mint Chocolate MnMs. I absolutely love them! That said I kind of had a feeling it's not very popular. My entire family hates them meaning when I get them I don't have to share lol. No one else will touch these and I feel like I have my very own snack in my big family. I thought they were discontinued but thanks to your video I looked them up and I guess I can still buy them from the company directly. Just ordered 12 large bags
They’re just so satisfying to eat!! I like how the mint compliments the chocolate
I love them too
18:34 Strider maybe you could have said once you pop you’ll want to stop 😂
I'll never forget buying a family pack of strawberry twizzlers thinking they'd taste like any strawberry gummy, and finding out then and there that I despise anything resembling licorice.
Oh yeah they taste awful...like wax with very artificial flavour
Australian licorice that tastes of molasses is much better than the not-much of Red Vines.

How to eat candy corn:
1. Buy candy corn
2. Put straight into trash
It's funny hearing you bring up the generic Easter egg chocolates. As a kid my mom exclusively bought Easter chocolates from the Dollar Tree. I noticed it tasted kinda weird but I still liked it enough to eat them all. Maybe I had an acquired taste from eating then for so many years. I wonder if adult me would still like it as I haven't had them for years now 😂
I always got the generic chocolate Easter eggs on Easter, I like the ones covered in foil but I hate the ones with the hard shell
As a danish person it sound unreal that licorice would be such a hated thing especially among kids. It's simply a delicacy.
Different Cultures. Different Taste buds.
I love liquorice, they sell these liquorice sticks at a shop near by and I always have to grab one for a snack!
Popular in Sweden.
Im danish too.
I think the idea of a banana split oreo sounds amazing if done well but I guess it wasn't done very well 😅
As far as the Oreo/Swedish Fish combo goes,some candy stores actually sell chocolate covered Swedish Fish. They sell fairly well and the combination in that form isnt as bad. I used to be a stock supervisor at a candy store in Las Vegas and tourists were in love with these.
I feel like the oreos weren’t as enjoyed because of two factors.
For one the cookies aren’t exactly the same as straight up chocolate.
And you also have the fact that the cream only attempts to emulate the taste of a Swedish fish, and that attempt is going to be hit or miss. It’s not really the same as taking a swedish fish and completely covering it in milk chocolate or something.
@@AiLoveAidoru That's definitely understandable. I'm just pointing out why Nabisco probably thought it was a good idea lol
I love Swedish Fish. The Swedish Fish and Friends is also great, I can see why some people don't like it.
I love dirt. (It sounds gross but bare with me) Dirt (or dirt cake) is a delicious combination between chocolate cake mixed with a chocolate cream that also has gummy worms in it, and It's soooo good. I've only ever gotten it at a barbeque place in Tennessee, because it is unfortunately uncommon. It's basically Mississippi mud, but with gummy worms, and It comes from the south (I'm pretty sure it might not) where I have roots from. (My grandpa was born in Kentucky)
During the Twinkie Panic of 2012, my family managed to get a single box because my brother and I had never actually tasted them.
That was the last Twinkie I've ever had. I tasted it and promptly decided it would not be a tragedy if they were discontinued.
Same here I tried one last year the chocolate one and the original they’re disgusting! Never again!
Ironically, when the company that owned twinkies went out of business and we bought up a few years later, they had to increase the shelf life to make them profitable again.
Surprised to see bounty at no. 2. I actually really enjoy it. It's like my 2nd favorite chocolate bar, right after snickers.
*Rockets or Smarties?*
Here, in Canada, we have both!
Funny story: my mother used to be under the unfortunate _care_ of a doctor who would prescribe her lots and lots of pills. This meant that there were lots of empty pill bottles around the house.
Since my favourite candy, at the time, was the chocolate Smarties, I would sort them by colour, put them in cleaned pill bottles and create my own little Smarties medecine cabinet in an old shoe box.
When my mother would be taking a pill, I would eat a Smarties button candy to mimic her.
Seeing me eat so many candies made her realize just how many pills she was gulping down so she eventually quit the pills and the doctor. So did I, lay off the Smarties...
Another triumph for Smarties!
21:48 Almond Joy has left the chat
Sadly, I actually really enjoy the generic rate eggs, candy corn, and licorice (and I would probably LOVE bounty bars) but I get where others are coming from. I think my not so good taste in candy comes from only being allowed sugar free stuff as a child. 🤣
I like red licorice, but not black.
How can someone not like chocolate and coconut?? It's like one of the best combinations ever
You tried coconut with dark chocolate it’s next level taste!
I agree
I love chocolate + coconut!
I definitely hate coconut.
Mounds
19:24 People are so desperate even Moose and Zee joined the fun!
Moose: Thanks, Zee! Now everyone will all know I don’t like candy corn.
The red filling Oreos made me remember some holiday Oreos that also had red filling, but still tasted the same of the regular white filling. I honestly almost gagged when I saw them because I ate said holiday Oreos when I was a kid, and I ate a little too much then I should have, because I got sick in the middle of the night and didn’t even make it to the bathroom. My mom came in, and we both were disgusted by the mess. It looked like I threw up blood. Nowadays I can’t even look at Oreos without gagging, whether their red or not.
@soaringfox1620, me too, except mine was Hershey's Snow Caps. One time, I stayed at my mom's friends' house with her and my brother in 2000 on a weekend. That night, my babysitter let me have snow caps and I ate too many on accident and threw up in their downstairs bathroom but on the floor in front of the toilet ☹️. That was in the middle of the night. Once I woke up my mom and told her what happened, she helped me clean it up. 😢
I love every little Strider morsel we get, no bad "strider snacks" in this package! For an episode idea, why not look at banned or wacky commercials? Perhaps look at the "Blank the rainbow taste the rainbow." commercials from Skittles, I know they got StRaNgE.
😮
I think the mint m&ms are best used in baking. Mix them in chocolate cookies and you get a flavor as delicious as those overpriced Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies 🍪 😋
As someone with peanut allergy, i love the british smarties because its pretty rare to have peanut free chocolat candy.
Man, I remember having Bounty as favorite candy in my childhood. It was kinda surprising hear about them being hated. I didn't taste it in a long time, so I don't know if my relationship with it now would've been the same
I love bounty’s
My favourite was Snickers, I never hated Bounty but I always preferred everything over Bounties.
I still love it
I actually liked the pretzel m&m's. Nice texture. Pretzels and chocolate are a rather classic combination.
To me, one of the most prominent 'why do these exist' foods that come to mind is Peeps.
Marshmellows in general are already way too sweet for me but peeps take it to another level. They are so grossly sweet. Thise heart candies are similar on hoe gross theu are but theyre both hross for a different reason, those heart things are rock fucking hard and taste like paper sprinkled with a microgram of sugar while peeps feel like my tongue is being violated and is itchy. I dont like intense amounts of sugar, hell i cant even finish a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. Most american "foods" are too overloaded with sugar for me so i may just not be used to clogging my arteries but eugh
Agree Marshmallows are perfectly fine on their own, doesn't need to be covered in disgusting sugar. Peeps and Neco Waffers are the worst candy, Change My Mind. I actually like Swedish Fish, Licorice, Circus Peanuts, Artificial Banana. Don't mind Candy Corn in moderation.
I actually find Twinkies good (I’m 22) and I haven’t had Candy Corn in a while, but I thought they were not bad at all.
Thanks for the video, Strider!
I'm 22 as well. I turned 22 a few weeks ago on the 8th.
I also like candy corn. But it's one of those candies that I love but I can only handle it in small portions.
Agreed!
@@Twinklethefox9022 Yes pretty much agreed
@@christianparrish3292 happy late birthday, Christian!
I absolutely love licorice. I even loved it when I was a child, It was so weird to me when I realized people actually hated the candy.
Smarties actually started out as having different flavors for the candy coating. I don't know when or why they stopped doing that.
The only flavour I remember is the orange ones tasting of orange
Perfect timing! Now i have something to watch while waiting for the zelda presentation
22:00 mounds are good
I've never had Swedish Fish Oreos before but the Reeses Oreos were seriously amazing and it was a mistake for them to be limited edition.
Same with the mocha latte oreos.
Oreo makes a peanut butter Oreo. They are my absolute favorite ones. I don't know if they are Reese's or not though but they are good either way. I live in the Mohawk Valley area of NY so maybe they don't have them in to many areas around the world.
The mint m&m's were my neighbor's favorite ones so I would get him a bad once in a while when I saw them. The pretzel one are good to. Chocolate and pretzels go good together.
Candy corn was the worst of all I think, but to each there own.
THEY HAD REESES OREOS??!
@@mrsmilesthevtuber Yes and they were awesome.
I love bounty chocolates, whenever I've had celebrations it's always the mars bars chocolates that nobody wants and are left in the celebrations box. That's disappointing to find out that they have removed bounty bars from celebration boxes. Jenna xx 😀
I love the Swedish Fish. Truly a very unique flavor for candy. That being said I never tried the Swedish Fish Oreos. Because they kind of grossed me out. And never really found them appealing from the get go.
Phantomstrider has gifted us today with content! I am grateful 🙇
I like your profile picture. Metal sonic is awesome!
I'm starting to wonder if mint was the victim of some sort of thousand-year long slander campaign or something like that.
Also, coconut and chocolate are a good combination, dammit!
I always liked Zingers more than Twinkies though I was never huge into either. They were occasional cravings. It's actually been so long since I've had one that I don't even know if Zingers are still around or not.
I *LOVE* Bounty bars. They are easily my favourite chocolate. And always my first choice when opening a Celebrations tub. I am genuinely going to be sad to see them gone from the tub.
I completely understand the “who’s buying this stuff?” Sentiment. I work at a grocery store and I’ll see some of the most disgusting sounding stuff on the shelves. Who thought Peeps flavored Pepsi would be tasty?
Wait what?
@J Turner yes it is unfortunately a thing
Or just plain peeps in my opinion
Peeps Pepsi is just overly vanilla Pepsi. I too work in a grocery store and stock the candy aisle. I'm surprised at what's sells.
they tried Cinnamon-flavored Pepsi Spice and we also had Taqui-flavored Mountain Dew
I adored the generic easter chocolate eggs as a kid. No one would ever eat them so I would munch on them for weeks on end. I still seek them out at times as an adult!
From what I’ve could tell, unbranded easter eggs might taste better or worse depending on the manufacturer. I remember Canada having decent enough off-brand eggs.
They weren’t amazing, but the sugar didn’t really overpower me. A lot of people I know tend to buy them for baking and cake decorating.
UK/Canada smarties are also a popular choice for cake decorating because of their muted taste compared to other chocolate buttons.
There are 2 types of licorice: bitter one and salty one. I despisethe salty ones, but the bitter ones are one of my all time vavourites.
Also, I really like Bounty. As a matter of fact, I truly love the coconut in chocolate combination :)
I work for Fred Meyer which is owned by Kroger and was working there when the Swedish Fish Oreo cookies came out. As you know the Swedish fish Oreo was exclusive to Kroger and it was no surprise that they didn’t sell well.
Phantomstrider uploading a video brightens my day. Especially when I really need it brightened.
I can confirm that we love black licorice in Iceland, most popular candy in the country is basically chocolate-covered licorice bits. There also variety like salt and pepper flavors licorice, one of the main snack that I eat while working pepper flavored chocolate almonds.
I used to look at candy corn on tv and wonder what flavour it had (I had fantasies of it tasting like buttery sweet popcorn) then I finally tried one as a young adult and found that they taste like a crumbly old honey scented candle.
19:10 The only time my fav show offended me
I personally love bounty bars. Not as an everyday treat, usually I got for milk chocolate almonds, but once in a while I enjoy a bounty bar.
18:46 the apple cheddar chips were probably thinking of a savory version of apple pie with cheese. However the cheese you use with apple pie is NOT smoked.
I think there was probably a point in time where Twinkies were made in smaller batches and resembled baked goods. The last time I had a Twinkie was probably in the year 2000 it was pretty bad lol.
Anyone who hates Bounty and Mounds... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love them and y'all just leave countless amounts for me, yay!💗💗💗💗
It's good until they call to ban them
Leave some Bounty bars for me :)
Im glad you can enjoy the weird cum colored chunks covered in 20 year old chocolate that I can't eat without vomiting. But don't be surprised when bounty and mounds bars end up discontinuing.
@@Slaymisi why does everyone hate bountys? I also really love them ;-;
@@heavy-purple-mixx3779 same!
I actually liked Twinkies. I even tried them recently during my break at my job at Fred Meyers. But one junk food I didn't like was chocolate flavored Skittles. I tried them from my college vending machine and I regretted it and couldn't even finish the bag.
Hey Phantom! I love every time you make a video. Like a birthday gift, or a Christmas gift. You’re awesome!
He sure is.
