They might not of been expecting it because to the name Tastykake they were probably expecting a cake not a pie. As someone that's never heard of them before I figured it was going to be cakes.
I think the “kakes “ in the name threw off their expectations. Imagine the company name was “Jelly Pies” and the boxes contained cupcakes. Just kinda misses what your brain pictures.
In the UK we don't really eat jam pies, they tend to be with pieces like an apple pie or a tart so maybe Ireland is the same, but also the "jam" filling looks really thick and cornflour/flavourings based, rather than a thinner fresh egg/butter based lemon curd or fruit puree which is why it looks so unappealing and goopy to me.
The one with the dark blue shirt and glasses... she seems like the girl who shows up uninvited to a party, sits in the corner, and starts every sentence with, "Well, actually..."
* yet doesn't realize she's been dragging a three foot length of toilet paper around which has been stuck to her shoe since she exited the bathroom complaining about the water pressure
tasty cakes are a big northeast thing. It's rare to see them anywhere but in philly cheesesteak shops here in western US. And even then, it's usually just the basic cake with frosting variety.
I've never seen them in Oregon. Even in Dollar Generals we don't have them out here (mind you, we also only recently got Dollar Generals and I don't go to them that often.)
My point was Tasty Cake is junk food most Americans don't eat. I have never had one. Why would I since I can go to a Diner and have an excellent piece of fresh made pie or cake. While I'm at it, do you know why there are no Irish Restaurants in America? Because your food sucks!!! lol
They have done “American Pies” a few though fucked them up each time cause their ingredients must be different - always to thin and just not cooked right
Back in their hayday, Tastykake could only be found in the southeast of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and northern Delaware. When they expanded their market to more of the Northeastern states they began adding more preservatives to lengthen shelflife and the tastiness suffered greatly. I'd gladly see their recipes return to the original formulas. I haven't had a Tastykake in years.
Back in the 90s when I went to London I bought bunch of Tastykake snacks with me. It was so much fun to share them with the people that I met. But these were before they put the 'baked' title on. At that time Lemon and Blueberry were my faves! But I also had some Tandykakes, Butterscoch Krimpets and Oatmeal-Raisin bars as well... Everyone liked the ones that I took over.
For those of you in the rest of the world...... the people who live around Philadelphia have no taste buds. Even Cheese Steak tastes better the further away you get. A Cheese Steak in the rest of the Country has provolone, onions, and green peppers. Philly gives you some kind of fake yellow cheese whiz product. Oh, and Tastykakes are awful too. :-)
Well this went slightly better than the last Tastykake tasting. I sent a box of various Philly area snacks to an Australian friend, who was living in Japan and included a Lemon Tastykake pie. First of all it was a challenge to make sure it got there before the expiration date was up sinceit's 10 days shipping to Japan from here. But she loved that pie, it was her favorite thing of the box.
My fav people trying foods all always so positive n open to try new foods! The ones the show in the beginning on video , girl with bear festive sweater and guy with black sweater
Same or similar product, different contributors. I'm ok with that. Fare thee well Clare! You will be missed. The fb group will echo that once this is posted there.
In my area of the US, Tastykake has sort of picked up the slack left when Hostess stopped manufacturing for a short time. I think they actually put out a better product (for factory manufactured pastry cakes).
Facts--TastyKakes (the bakery is still in Philadelphia at the old Navy Yard) were part and parcel of a 1950s child's packed lunch (before the government-sponsored hot lunch program was instituted in most schools). The best ones--which had a great value as coin of the realm in a child's life back then, were the TastyKake Juniors--light yellow cake, chocolate mousse-like filling, and rich dark chocolate frosting. Since you didn't grow up back then, I'll tell you that no self-respecting child actually ATE the pie shell of a TastyKake pie. We sucked out the insides and tossed the crust.
Robert Brown, my dad grew up in Philadelphia and I had them growing up. I think it is an east coast thing. I live in the midwest and they are just now in stores here.
Just found this channel. I am from Philadelphia. Tastykakes are baked in Philly. Our Tastykakes are delivered fresh, twice a week. Tastykakes are a way of life in Philly. Just like Cheesesteaks & Hoagies.
I just want to let everyone here know that our dear sweet innocent Paul had his first sip of alcohol last night and is no longer an alcohol virgin!!! I fully blame the producers for this lmfao, but i will admit it was absolutely hilarious to see how trashed he got after a few drinks. 😂😂😂 That said i think we'll be seeing Paul in future drinking videos now!
As a native of Philadelphia, where Tastykakes originated and is iconic, you'd have a lot of people up in arms by putting down Tastykakes. Practically every kid has grown up with them, for about the last 100 years and I've never met anyone who didn't love them and have eaten them since they got their first teeth. In Philadelphia, there pretty much considered a food staple.
The Chandlers Rose I'm aware of that. I've lived in the Philadelphia area my entire life. But, even since the 80's, they haven't changed enough that the average Philadelphian doesn't still eat them and they certainly aren't bad, like they seem in the video. It probably has a lot to do with people outside of the US not being used to some of the ingredients. They always seem to complain about "artificial" flavors. But, people from other parts of the US tend to love Tastykake products, when they try them.
Lisa Heisey I like to warm mine up for 10-20 seconds to enhance the flavor. That ticks me off with Facts they don't seem to know how to properly enjoy our foods.
They're still made in Philly proper. The Naval Yard, as was, is just as much Philly as Nicetown {the world's most inaccurately named neighborhood}. They did used to be better, though. All that fancy packaging holds a pie half the size it used to be. It does enable you to send it around the world, of course. Tastykakes and pies have far more in the way of preservatives than they used to. Time was Tasty was unknown outside a 100 mile radius because they were so fresh they couldn't be shipped and had to be replaced quite frequently because they staled as easily as a home-baked product.
No, apparently they are big in Philadelphia and not many other places--east coast, I guess, though I never saw them there even when I lived 20 minutes from Philadelphia for six months.
@@xDarkTrinityx sure, but that's the brand. What they are is pies though. Except for the eclair. Eclairs aren't pies or cakes, they're more like a pastry like a doughnut.
If I knew nothing of Ireland except the Facts videos, I'd say all the ladies are gorgeous, all the guys are hysterical and I need to vacation there immediately!
They down here just not real popular because they taste like crap. Mainly found in gas stations. The "fruit" filling some artificial goop with fake flavoring. Even if you stumble across one I'd suggest leaving it on the shelf. Besides you from the south. Ya know right up the road is some lil old lady selling homemade fruit pies cooked with real ingredients for a buck or 2.
The thing everyone seems to be missing here is that the special "goodness" that commenters talk about is sentiment, driven by reminiscence of childhood and after-school "treats". Objectively, Tastykakes are standard industrial-bakery products, neither better nor worse than any other industrial bakery's products.
A _lemon_ Tasty Kake. Sounds good. A _blueberry_ Tasty Kake. Eww. No thanks. Eclair Tasty Kakes? Hmm. Sounds a bit rich. At an earlier point in my life, I probably would've gone for them without hesitation, but now... Oh, but what's this about French Apple Pie Tasty Kakes? Sounds definitely worth a try.
The best American mass produced handpies were Hostess pies. They're disgusting now, as my adult taste buds reject that much sugar, but were amazing as a kid. Plus in the 80's they probably just used good old fashioned lard and butter for the crust.
majr72 I saw them last week in a Sams Club in D/FW... First time I had ever seen them...They seemed to be the regular ones that looked like some kind of cup cakes... It was after I watched their last video on tastykakes so I wasn't brave enough to try them...
"Is this gonna be goopy in the middle as well?" Dude, it's called "filling." Like what pies have? I mean, how in the hell would it be an eclair without filling?
"This is what it feels like to eat placenta." From one of the _female_ members of Facts, this would raise an eyebrow. Coming from a _male_ member, _what the hell, man?!_
Especially since placenta has the texture of cooked beef. It's a protein, so it coagulates when cooked and especially if it's chopped up finely can be fairly indistinguishable from ground beef. It would actually be fairly difficult to make it "goopy". Unless, I suppose, if you tried to eat it raw. Placenta sushi anybody?
Wombo They're not generally known outside of the Philadelphia area. But Philadelphians, who have moved to other parts of the country, love them so much that they have them shipped out to them. So, they're getting a broader "audience", now.
Tori Green Most people, including me, wouldn't agree with you. Just because you find something "disgusting", doesn't mean it is disgusting. An opinion shouldn't be stated as a fact. Millions of people like and buy Tastykakes. So, they can't be very "disgusting".
I've never tried the pies from the video, but the cakes and donuts are pretty good. We lived in Philly when I was I kid and got really excited when I saw they expanded out to my part of the country.
Tastycakes were a necessity back in the 70’s n 80’s class trip or snack at school..along with a sub and can of coke wrapped in aluminum foil! But there are certain favorites..krimpets, peanut butter n chocolate, cupcake with the white frosting and black line..it was creme filled! I know wtf I’m talking bout lol!
Donald Parlett jr we all stopped eating the cherry ones because you rarely ever get an actual cherry in them anymore. The quality of the pies have gone downhill, but the rest of the products are still great.
David Roberts because they're fine to anyone without unrealistic expectations for a store bought shelf safe pie and not someone with a gigantic branch up their ass who snarks any time some obviously mass produced snack doesn't meet their expectations that all food (even pre packaged nonsense) should exclusively be be cooked to the highest chef standards and instead of being able to enjoy something for what it is (a quick, cheap snack) they decide their uneducated food critiques based solely on wanting to look cool and sophisticated somehow mean anything. Or something.
Yep! They don't make em' like they use to. The peanut butter Tandycakes use to have a thick layer of PB, now they don't. Too many changes. Hardly buy them anymore.
Hey guys. I love your videos. Can you try Quebecois food next? My suggestions are as follows: poutine, guédilles, oreilles de Christ (crackling), ragout boulette (meatballs and gravy with potatoes), maple beans, Schwartz's smoked meat, and maple tarts (or lemon meringue). These foods are staples of Quebec culture, and I think it would be a delight to see the honest reactions of people from abroad. P.S.: cabbage rolls are also hugely popular among the masses, as a "dare food" for children, and are local "delicacy". If possible, I would love to get a shout out as well
Fright Power Ranger Mys-tic Knights of Tir.Na.Nog! x5000 Awwwwww yeah. Maybe a selection of old 90s battle shows? Big Bad Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, Masked Rider...
I’d like the hoodie better if the Facts logo was small in the “pocket” spot on the front and the quote was on the back. If they modded the design, I’d buy it right away!
Hostess use to be awesome. Whatever bakery bought out their recipes messed with them. Not good anymore. Little Debbie, is still great for the price, a not too expensive treat.
Daemon To be fair all of our snacks are artificial, toxic, GMOs, unhealthy and do taste like crap compared to snacks in many European countries. Our chocolate is really awful when compared to just Britain's. American manufacturers spend most of their research money on figuring out how to cover up the cheapest crap ingredients with artifical flavoring to justify what they charge you. We do have incredible ingenuity in coming up with great combinations and new ideas in food, but shit ingredients are still going to taste like shit.
1. Eh, Tasty Kakes are an acquired taste, being Irish, you haven't acquired it. Pumpkin (Autumn) and Chocolate Lovers (February) are the best flavors, but they are seasonal. 2. Why is Nicole so F cking hot? Seriously, the facts videos are all going to get demonetized because you aren't allowed to be that hot on youtube.
never come across these in the Pacific Northwest, I think part of the misconception of the foods in the U.S.A. is because we don't eat or cook the same things from one coast to the other, Ireland is 1/4 the size of Oregon, about the size of Indiana(38th in size in U.S.)
I absolutely love watching you guys reaction videos. Where the hell is Justine? I do want to point out the fact that the pie tins are not to be reused four bombs. I know it took the Irish thousands of years to figure out that pie tins were not just for bomb-making.
Tom is not allowed open any packaging from now on. Neither is Nicole.
Who'd have thought that'd be a difficult thing to master. xD
And I fully agree that 5 cakes in a row is a healthy breakfast!
Magick O'Daly haha there was a knack to them!
Maybe that’s why he knows placenta texture. He can eat those without opening any packaging. 😂
I dont blame you guys for not liking that stuff. No American that I know of, eats these pies.
lillyscarlet ewww
My last video working for Facts! It's such a pity the merch run didn't manage to turn things around. Find me over here! #RIPFACTS
I was so confused by the title. Baked pies as opposed to what? Raw pies...? And then I started watching the video. Derp. 🙃
R Kelley yeah, me as well
As opposed to fried pies.
Loyal Yeah but we specify no bake pies because you normally bake pies. It’s weird the other way around.
If there's a way to fry a pie America(and Scotland) will find a way.
Some fast food places deep fry them, that's what McDonald's used to do before they changed the recipe.
Of course they are "goopy" inside. What are Irish lemon pies filled with? Powder?
They might not of been expecting it because to the name Tastykake they were probably expecting a cake not a pie. As someone that's never heard of them before I figured it was going to be cakes.
It clearly describes it as "pie" on the box.
I think the “kakes “ in the name threw off their expectations. Imagine the company name was “Jelly Pies” and the boxes contained cupcakes. Just kinda misses what your brain pictures.
In the UK we don't really eat jam pies, they tend to be with pieces like an apple pie or a tart so maybe Ireland is the same, but also the "jam" filling looks really thick and cornflour/flavourings based, rather than a thinner fresh egg/butter based lemon curd or fruit puree which is why it looks so unappealing and goopy to me.
"This is what it feels like to eat placenta..." ....err Tom, i have questions...
We all have questions.
Nadia Mohamed , I started to have my suspicions when he was tweeting all that stuff about cannibalism haha
We always knew Tom was special...
Bye, Clare and good luck with everything
The one with the dark blue shirt and glasses... she seems like the girl who shows up uninvited to a party, sits in the corner, and starts every sentence with, "Well, actually..."
*while giving everyone a dirty look.
😂
That's hilarious
Lol, at least she still swallows it.

ExaltedDuck they sell them in every gas station ive been to from maryland to florida?
Was wondering why I'd never heard of them... (in MN)
ExaltedDuck
You can buy them in all the dollar generals. All over the US. Don't know what the he'll your talking about.
Jackles lover Forevers ikr lol they are everywhere
I've never seen them in Oregon. Even in Dollar Generals we don't have them out here (mind you, we also only recently got Dollar Generals and I don't go to them that often.)
Its goopy.... Hey bro, it's pie not cake
No, it's high fructose corn syrup and palm oil.
I don't know dude, you tell me?
nah bro
I kept thinking, "Do you not know what pie is?"
But why are they called TastyKakes then?
It's American CHEAP junk food. What did you expect? Try some real American Pie from a diner that makes them fresh.
John Vapes they’re never fresh. They’re always several days old at best.
My point was Tasty Cake is junk food most Americans don't eat. I have never had one. Why would I since I can go to a Diner and have an excellent piece of fresh made pie or cake. While I'm at it, do you know why there are no Irish Restaurants in America? Because your food sucks!!! lol
they've done real pies, several times i think.....??3
adrasdea I live in the Philly area, trust me, I know all about diners.
They have done “American Pies” a few though fucked them up each time cause their ingredients must be different - always to thin and just not cooked right

A Philadelphia favorite. I love Tastykake. Lemon and Tastyklair are my favorites.
geoffrobinson those are both my favs too
As a kid the French Apple was my favorite but as an adult it's too sweet for me. I stick to the lemon ones now.
I like French Apple, but I agree. As I get older too sweet. Pumpkin is fairly good as well.
For those of you in the rest of the world...... the people who live around Philadelphia have no taste buds. Even Cheese Steak tastes better the further away you get. A Cheese Steak in the rest of the Country has provolone, onions, and green peppers. Philly gives you some kind of fake yellow cheese whiz product. Oh, and Tastykakes are awful too. :-)
We have onions and provolone. Sounds like you may need to spend more time in Philadelphia.
Byeeeeeee guys 😭😭😭 👋🏻 👋🏻 💙💙
Miss you!!!😥
Not.
This isn't an airport no need to announce your departure
Was this the last facts video?
As a convenience store desert, they're not totally reprehensible.
Well this went slightly better than the last Tastykake tasting. I sent a box of various Philly area snacks to an Australian friend, who was living in Japan and included a Lemon Tastykake pie. First of all it was a challenge to make sure it got there before the expiration date was up sinceit's 10 days shipping to Japan from here.

I've never had tasty kakes before but since when is "goopy" a bad thing when it comes to sweet treats?
Irish people watch peaky blinders
T-Bone R.
I back this.
I actually went to a restaurant were they offered you placenta, the cervix was terrible though
I would have given them just the tip.
Sweet god. Cervixes are not a part that should come out unless it has cancer! Placentas regenerate with each pregnancy!
Did you not get the joke or are you trolling?
My fav people trying foods all always so positive n open to try new foods! The ones the show in the beginning on video , girl with bear festive sweater and guy with black sweater
Same or similar product, different contributors. I'm ok with that.
Fare thee well Clare! You will be missed.
The fb group will echo that once this is posted there.
Not to my knowledge. I know she's getting married, workwise, no idea, check out her youtube channel.
In my area of the US, Tastykake has sort of picked up the slack left when Hostess stopped manufacturing for a short time. I think they actually put out a better product (for factory manufactured pastry cakes).
Wait, didn't they already do a tastykake episode?
They did do another Tastykake video. But, this one was only about Tastykake pies, not things like Tastykake Krimpets, etc.
They did tastykake snacks but not pies back in November.
"This is what it feels like to eat placenta" LOL. You had placenta before?
you have to pop them in the toaster oven for a couple mins tatse awesome then

"It's like those jam tarts we get here, what are they called??? Jam Tarts..." ;p
The two most positive Facts "tasters" are John and Diane. They always seem to have something nice to say about American snacks and food.
I'm an American and I'v never heard of Tastykakes
Robert Brown, my dad grew up in Philadelphia and I had them growing up. I think it is an east coast thing. I live in the midwest and they are just now in stores here.
+ Robert Brown Apparently you don't live near Philadelphia or on the East Coast.
Yeah I’m from Boston and we have them here. They’re not nation wide because they are not the least bit tasty 😂
I’ve lived on the east coast my entire life and am now just learning about them.
I live in Michigan,...I've not heard of them.
Just found this channel. I am from Philadelphia. Tastykakes are baked in Philly. Our Tastykakes are delivered fresh, twice a week. Tastykakes are a way of life in Philly. Just like Cheesesteaks & Hoagies.

Oh no!
Good lord I cannot even imagine that man any more mental than he is when he's sober
Ah bless, that false sense of security new drinkers get when they think they don't get hangovers, I remember it well xD
They're why I barely ever drink anymore, just not worth it to me ^^
I must say, the redheaded woman is exquisite. Absolutely amazing she is, looks wise, and a fun one to be around. Top shelf.

Yet another reason (other than their sports teams) to feel bad for Philly.
Tastykake. Company is located in Philadelphia, but tastykakes are in Western Pa. too.
Clisare will be missed❤❤❤
unfortunately, she didn't stay away long
The peach pies are the best, especially when you microwave them!
Harker in the video = Insta like
Best of everything, always Clare!!!!! Good luck where ever you go!
Apologies Facts crew. These used to be better when they were made in Philly proper and before the local government regulated the fat/sugar content.
They're still made in Philly proper. The Naval Yard, as was, is just as much Philly as Nicetown {the world's most inaccurately named neighborhood}. They did used to be better, though. All that fancy packaging holds a pie half the size it used to be. It does enable you to send it around the world, of course.

Yayyyy that guy's back! Missed him
Is it bad if I'm american and I haven't had tastykakes?
Same here, think it may be a regional brand.
John Smith No, because I haven't either.
I think they are a north east regional thing. Here in the Midwest we have Hostess and Little Debby and recently Entemanns
You haven't missed anything. Theyre cheaper than Hostess, so we get them in " the hood."
No, apparently they are big in Philadelphia and not many other places--east coast, I guess, though I never saw them there even when I lived 20 minutes from Philadelphia for six months.
I was hoping they'd do a TastyKake pies video eventually. (I'm from Pennsylvania.)
Why do they keep calling pies cakes??? Two totally different things...
Probably because they're called Tastykakes...
@@xDarkTrinityx sure, but that's the brand. What they are is pies though. Except for the eclair. Eclairs aren't pies or cakes, they're more like a pastry like a doughnut.
If I knew nothing of Ireland except the Facts videos, I'd say all the ladies are gorgeous, all the guys are hysterical and I need to vacation there immediately!
Tasty Cakes has to be a Northern American thing... because we do not have them in the south
They down here just not real popular because they taste like crap. Mainly found in gas stations. The "fruit" filling some artificial goop with fake flavoring. Even if you stumble across one I'd suggest leaving it on the shelf.
Besides you from the south. Ya know right up the road is some lil old lady selling homemade fruit pies cooked with real ingredients for a buck or 2.
I grew up in NY, have lived in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma, W. Virginia, and California, and I've *never* heard of them. =/
Best of luck, young lady! I have enjoyed your videos, and wish you only the best!
Irish people try White Castle! Only they have to come to America to do it.
Alvious White Castle are horrible!
They are awesome! Especially when drunk!
I love White Castle, even though I start getting sick after I've eaten two of them.

Anyone else a pie and never heard of these americans?
The best American mass produced handpies were Hostess pies. They're disgusting now, as my adult taste buds reject that much sugar, but were amazing as a kid. Plus in the 80's they probably just used good old fashioned lard and butter for the crust.
WTF is tastykakes where are these from never heard of them in Texas or out west in California never even seen these in the grocery store.
They originate from Philadelphia.
Agreed.
You gotta look in the back. The far back
You know those cakes that you loot from the supermarket in Fallout 3? They're that.
majr72 I saw them last week in a Sams Club in D/FW... First time I had ever seen them...They seemed to be the regular ones that looked like some kind of cup cakes... It was after I watched their last video on tastykakes so I wasn't brave enough to try them...
My understanding is that they taste different outside of the Philadelphia area. But try the fruit pies frozen, not bad.
"Is this gonna be goopy in the middle as well?"
Dude, it's called "filling."
Like what pies have?
I mean, how in the hell would it be an eclair without filling?
having grown up with PROPER eclairs...you know...from france...those look like poorly made replicas that should be binned.
You should try pudgey pies. Bread and filling toasted over the fire. You can also make pizza ones.
Second TastyKake video. I like the fat Pop Tart analogy. This proves bigger is not always better.
Hostess or Little Debbie are so much better snacks
No, it's better. It's a pie. I'm not sure if they have pies so I'm confused about why they keep saying "cake".
Tastykake is the brand name
You will eat one pie and have a toothache immediately after here in America we don't believe that there is such a thing as too much sugar
"This is what it feels like to eat placenta."
From one of the _female_ members of Facts, this would raise an eyebrow. Coming from a _male_ member, _what the hell, man?!_

azdgariarada I didn't need to know this. Thanks for this insanely gross fact.
Glad I could be of assistance. :-)
lazyperfectionist1 A lot of people, including men, actually eat the placenta after the birth just letting u know 😂
Love you all. Your accents make my day.
I see Harker, I like. I'm a simple man.
Tactavious awww 🖤
Absolutely HONOURED to be in Clare's last video, even if it was while eating mediocre to decent Kakes! 😆😆😆
dont think ive ever even seen these in any american stores before
Wombo They're not generally known outside of the Philadelphia area. But Philadelphians, who have moved to other parts of the country, love them so much that they have them shipped out to them. So, they're getting a broader "audience", now.
They sell them in most grocery stores where I live. maybe it's an east coast thing.
Lisa Heisey No they are, just not outside of the east coast. They’re also disgusting.
Tori Green Most people, including me, wouldn't agree with you. Just because you find something "disgusting", doesn't mean it is disgusting. An opinion shouldn't be stated as a fact. Millions of people like and buy Tastykakes. So, they can't be very "disgusting".
I've never tried the pies from the video, but the cakes and donuts are pretty good. We lived in Philly when I was I kid and got really excited when I saw they expanded out to my part of the country.
Tastycakes were a necessity back in the 70’s n 80’s class trip or snack at school..along with a sub and can of coke wrapped in aluminum foil! But there are certain favorites..krimpets, peanut butter n chocolate, cupcake with the white frosting and black line..it was creme filled! I know wtf I’m talking bout lol!
I'm from Maryland and we have Tastykakes. The strawberry is really good and the cherry pie is excellent. Beware of cherry pits as it is real fruit!
Donald Parlett jr we all stopped eating the cherry ones because you rarely ever get an actual cherry in them anymore. The quality of the pies have gone downhill, but the rest of the products are still great.
HOSTESS and the ones from Sheetz are better
Never heard of Tastykake. Must be a regional snack.
I Liked just for John Sharpson
To be honest, I've never seen Tasty Kakes or however you spell it except on here. In what part of the US is it from? Or what store?
Surprised no one had any tea.
Not sure where in America these are from because I've never heard of them. I'm guessing somewhere in east.
I wish i could ship Paula's donuts to Ireland, but i can't.
Man, I want a peanut jelly donut right now...
they are so good, they can feed a family of 4 easily.. but dang they are good donuts
I want a t-shirt that says "this is what it feels like to eat placenta" XD
"it's fake chocolate" it's cheap pies not Gourmet ... So posh.
David Roberts because they're fine to anyone without unrealistic expectations for a store bought shelf safe pie and not someone with a gigantic branch up their ass who snarks any time some obviously mass produced snack doesn't meet their expectations that all food (even pre packaged nonsense) should exclusively be be cooked to the highest chef standards and instead of being able to enjoy something for what it is (a quick, cheap snack) they decide their uneducated food critiques based solely on wanting to look cool and sophisticated somehow mean anything. Or something.
As Canadians we call those pies . Pastry filled with fruit or berries or meat and veggies .3cheers from Canada
Back in the 1960's and 70's they were a LOT better.
Back when Twinkies were actually good.
Yep! They don't make em' like they use to. The peanut butter Tandycakes use to have a thick layer of PB, now they don't. Too many changes. Hardly buy them anymore.
Tastykake rules!The Tastyclairs and chocolate juniors are the best.
Harker wearing red!?!!?! What is going on???? She lookin hot hot hot
Jonny Rager haha it wasn't my jumper.
Hey guys. I love your videos. Can you try Quebecois food next?
My suggestions are as follows: poutine, guédilles, oreilles de Christ (crackling), ragout boulette (meatballs and gravy with potatoes), maple beans, Schwartz's smoked meat, and maple tarts (or lemon meringue).
These foods are staples of Quebec culture, and I think it would be a delight to see the honest reactions of people from abroad.
P.S.: cabbage rolls are also hugely popular among the masses, as a "dare food" for children, and are local "delicacy".
If possible, I would love to get a shout out as well
Harker is a tasty cake.
J. P. Smooth af
Harker Ryan 🖤 🖤 🖤
Cake or is she a tart :D
Pale too. Get pasty, get tasty.
jb05 Welcoming Harker to center stage. Ireland's own pasty tasty cake. Say that 5 times fast.
Going off on a tangent, can you PLEASE extend the tea shirt offer another week? I don't get paid until Wednesday!
*Irish People Watch Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog*
Fright Power Ranger Mys-tic Knights of Tir.Na.Nog! x5000 Awwwwww yeah. Maybe a selection of old 90s battle shows? Big Bad Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, Masked Rider...
YESSS. I would absolutely LOVE to see this! I adored that show as a kid!
I’d like the hoodie better if the Facts logo was small in the “pocket” spot on the front and the quote was on the back. If they modded the design, I’d buy it right away!
This is why I bake from scratch...
Irish people try Southern homemade candies. Kentucky cream candy, divinity, potato candy, pralines...
What do you expect for $1?
Are those an East coast thing? Never seen those before over here in California.
Good gawd, tasty kakes are NOT tasty!
Actullay, they are.
Extremely tasty.
bull...they are gloopy and taste like oily sugar!
stephanie reeves That's your opinion buddy.
buddy? the last time i checked i have a puss not a dick so i'm no where near a "buddy"..and these "kakes" need to be off the market!!!
Where in America do you get Tasty Kakes? This is the first I've heard of them.
Entenmann's is better.
Nelson Ricardo homemade is better.
Depends on whose home...
Well I won't be missing Clare, because I'm subscribed to Storytime.
*Irish people watch Doctor Who.*
Sean M nooo! don't give up on abstract art!
Doctor who is shit
Aww Clare you’ll be missed. I wish you well in all your future endeavors. 💕👏🏼
Yeah that didn't last long!!!
Come on. Hostess and Little Debbie are so much better than Tasty Kakes
Hostess use to be awesome. Whatever bakery bought out their recipes messed with them. Not good anymore. Little Debbie, is still great for the price, a not too expensive treat.
Ew. Gross!
Daemon Havok No way.
Daemon To be fair all of our snacks are artificial, toxic, GMOs, unhealthy and do taste like crap compared to snacks in many European countries. Our chocolate is really awful when compared to just Britain's. American manufacturers spend most of their research money on figuring out how to cover up the cheapest crap ingredients with artifical flavoring to justify what they charge you. We do have incredible ingenuity in coming up with great combinations and new ideas in food, but shit ingredients are still going to taste like shit.
You can go to hell.
1. Eh, Tasty Kakes are an acquired taste, being Irish, you haven't acquired it. Pumpkin (Autumn) and Chocolate Lovers (February) are the best flavors, but they are seasonal. 2. Why is Nicole so F cking hot? Seriously, the facts videos are all going to get demonetized because you aren't allowed to be that hot on youtube.
Everyone knows you get Hostess or Little Debbie pies, not Tasty Cakes
Experiment 13 Hostess is straight chemicals. As are Little Debbies.
No, I get Tasty Kakes.
If Twinkies are any indication of the quality of other Hostess foods then I'll give that a miss.
Michael Parker
Twinkies are the worst Hostess item, that's like judging Coke by New Coke
Everyone with bad taste that is.
They need to try "fried pies" with the same filling. Not sure why, but anything deep fat fried tastes so much better.
I don't think I have ever had or seen one of those. what part of the US are they from?
i have never eaten anything from TastyKake. Never expect that to be as good as real pie.
never come across these in the Pacific Northwest, I think part of the misconception of the foods in the U.S.A. is because we don't eat or cook the same things from one coast to the other, Ireland is 1/4 the size of Oregon, about the size of Indiana(38th in size in U.S.)
I absolutely love watching you guys reaction videos. Where the hell is Justine? I do want to point out the fact that the pie tins are not to be reused four bombs. I know it took the Irish thousands of years to figure out that pie tins were not just for bomb-making.
