Jateen - Biltong is preserved meat, it does not go off. The reason why biltong was not sent are because of laws preventing people sending certain foods over the world spreading diseases. However, It can be done after A SHITLOAD of legal paperwork which makes it not worthwhile for a single package.
Very limited range, most of which are lower quality and price. Strange that they only sent you a bite-size Tex. South Africa really has a wide variety of snacks.
Hi Johnson Family. Yours is one of the most pleasant "taste test" videos on TH-cam. None of the funny faces and condescending comments that one see in most of the "taste test" videos on TH-cam. Best regards from South Africa.
Thanks. Those are international names and are pronounced differently in different countries. But is is cool to know how they are pronounced in South Africa.
Lol interesting pronunciation, we call it a "my low" bar in South Africa (the Milo), we can also get it in like a hot chocolate powder, to drink with hot milk. Cool video :)
Cheap Snacks - Can you give us the names of a few "Not so Cheap" Snacks? I'm assuming a Milo Bar costs 4 times more in Cape Town than it does in Johannesburg?
The TeX bar is way more popular😂😂 you people are mal, you can get like 3 TeX bars for one cadbury chocolate, it appleals to everyone cus it is so much cheaper. I am south african btw
Hi guys, you look like a realy friendly family. By the way, I'm from South Afrika and just love your comments and facial expesions from every taste. You guys rock! You had but a very small sample of the wide spread of snacks from SA, but it is obviously not possible to send all the snacks in a handy little box. From my point of view (taste) I do not think you had some of our better snacks in that box, although those aren't too bad at all. To my taste, our best snack is unique to SA and is called biltong. It is made from meat (dried and spiced to taste), so not for vegaterians, but they are simply delisious. google it?? Since it is made from meat I'm not sure if it would be easy to get them into your country, but if you can, do try! However, you're welcome to visit SA and taste to your hards content.If you would ever visit, you'll find the dollar Rand exchange well in your favour, thus a tour to SA will be relitively cheap for you. Hope to see you guys over here soon. By the way, I live in the Gauteng province in the city called Centurion.....
It is basicly Jerky... but i could be wrong Not sure how Jerky is made but i heard its not made the same... Here in South Africa it piece of meat covered in spices and Air dried for a few weeks *
Haha that's all our cheapest snacks. I really hate some of them! Start an 'exchange' page where people can send each other snacks from their country. That would be pretty cool!
looking at that packet of Flings and thinking "There's probably only going to be like 2 flings in that packet at best..If you guys are lucky" 😂😂 #SouthAfricanStruggles
by watching videos like this you truly do realise that South Africa is not that bad of a country and by the way just so you know South Africa is a country not a direction
JSMK stone cold crazy oh yeah 😁 I think Americans normally pronounce it Mylo, it's just that we live in Indonesia where it's pronounced Meelo, so that's how we pronounce it haha
Pleased ou like our snacks, but you definitely didnt get our best. Toppers are a cheap biscuit (cookie) as is fizzers and wonderbar. You would love our snacks if you did like those.
Droëwors,Beef biltong are nice meat snacks.dont know if i may be sent to you.Rusks (or beskuit in Afrikaans) must eat with tea or coffee.Chappies Bubblegum, Wilsons Jelly Tots,Wilsons Toffees, Simba Mrs Balls Chutney Chips,Cadbury Lunch Bar,FreshPak Rooibos tee,Oros.ther are some nice stuff that afrikaans people like
I feel like the company ripped you off. Most of the mini things came in bigger sizes. The fizzers, the tennis biscuits, the tex and the milo bar for example. Good video though!!
Martin Johnson okay I understand now. Great Video and am glad you enjoyed some of our South African Snacks. Biltong and some Rusks would have have been good to try to. After this video I think I will try give this a go and get a box delivered by the company. Looks very fun.
Oh well, there are Americans and South Africans who've said that there should be more cultural exchanges between the two countries. An example I'd say is with music, and an example is country music. Another is food, and an example is pumpkin recipes. South Africans generally tend to have a fascination for all things American. The two countries have also had similar histories. For instance both started as partly Dutch, and then British, colonies. Preferably no politics. It also seems like almost whatever happens in the one country also happens in the other. For instance in 1994 both moved more away from isolation and into the international community. In South Africa it was with the first democratic elections, and in the USA it was with the Soccer World Cup. (And then, South Africa moved more towards that with the 2010 Soccer World Cup.)
Tex is the perfect chocolate bar. It's a cross between a Kit-Kat and an Aero. You never have to choose between those two if there's a Tex on the shelf.
they sent you guys the baby versions of everything... I recommend you find a website that ships to America to try out everything properly and we do actually have a lot of snack companies Bakers is just the best
You should try Simba Chips Creamy cheddar flavour as well. very nice. TEX comes in different sizes too. OH and Milo is spelt as my-lo Lol. Shout from South Africa
I am from South Africa as well, and I don't think the Tex is the most popular chocolate here haha, don't know where they got the facts on that one. Not a big fan of the Wonder Bar either, there are much better treats that they could have added to the box.
Enjoyed watching this video. It's been nearly 3 years - Have you guys visited South Africa yet? Pity about the Fizzers that melted and the Tex Chocolate being so small. The Milo Chocolate bar is pronounced (My-low). You guys will definitely survive in South Africa - We have an abundance of delicious snacks, treats and AMAZING food!
The fact is in America your guys choclates are rubbish and your guys deserve better. We feed flings to babies here when they start eating solids. Creme Soda is a soft drink here in South Africa. Most of stuff you"ll received comes in regular size. Toppers come in several flavours and made by Bakers in South Africa. Pronounced My lo here comes as an instant drink, powdered form or as a choclates bar.
I love wonder bar when I can't open my mind what I want. Fizzers is also nice my kids slap it against a table to brake it. Milo bars is ok, toppers as well.
Hey, I'm from South Africa and these are not the best we have! The Milo bar is pronounced Mye-low. Fizzers are incredible but not when melted! They're supposed to be fairly rigid. There should have been some better chips, some drinks and at least some biltong! That would've been awesome. But good video!
Martin Johnson lol, here? most Americans haven't even heard of Milo. I've heard it pronounced mee-low in other countries, like Australia, but in South Africa it's my-low, which is where those snacks are from. ;)
Proudly South African. Lol!! The little boy so cute when he says "Meelo" well the way he pronounced the Milo Chocolate.. it is pronounced 'My-Low'.. Tennis biscuits are delicious when it comes to using them for a dessert.. Tex chocolate my favorite of all time. Thanks for the cool video.. what a fun activity to do as a family. Really interesting.
wow you guys sure do live up to the hype... totally rock out! 👌very accomodating feel to be able to have the chance to join in on the fun (tho coming across ur vid only just now.) also thumbs up for epic comic relief element mixed up for some good ol laugh!!!👍👍
Anyone besides me from south Africa🇿🇦
A lot of people from South Africa have commented on this video.

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving you should visit south africa

I'm surprised they didn't send you biltong
Keegan Foster yeah biltong is better
Jateen - Biltong is preserved meat, it does not go off. The reason why biltong was not sent are because of laws preventing people sending certain foods over the world spreading diseases. However, It can be done after A SHITLOAD of legal paperwork which makes it not worthwhile for a single package.
They wanna save costs
Keegan Foster yeah biltong is the main of all snackies here!
Jhoxi Hum that and also biltong is vrek expensive so it's pricey to send...
No Biltong? Biltong is South Africa's trade mark treat lol
Nevermind trademark its DELICIOUS
Very limited range, most of which are lower quality and price. Strange that they only sent you a bite-size Tex. South Africa really has a wide variety of snacks.
sending you much love from South Africa
+Simone Ventura thanks! You are very nice. And you have good snacks!
Wow they sent all the cheap stuff 😂😂😂😂😂 sorry, you're really not getting much of a South African experience
Asher Pardey true but considering the other videos I've seen...rather this than bad made koeksisters
lol awe
And they sent all the small things. But there's so many other things that they should try
lool but why? ithought i was the only one to notice that.. they should try biltong
Asher Pardey ik righ
it's pronounced my-lo
+Martin Maré in which country?
Martin Johnson South Africa
Martin Johnson South Africa
Martin Johnson it's pronounced my-low
I LITERALLY TWITCHED every time they said 'mee-lo'! HAHA!
Hi Johnson Family. Yours is one of the most pleasant "taste test" videos on TH-cam. None of the funny faces and condescending comments that one see in most of the "taste test" videos on TH-cam. Best regards from South Africa.
It's pronounced (My-low)
Not (Me-low)
I'm from South Africa
And it's Nestle (Nest-lay)
They literally sent you all the cheap stuff
Thanks. Those are international names and are pronounced differently in different countries. But is is cool to know how they are pronounced in South Africa.
blame it on too much sugary sweetness munchies i'd say 😫😫
Interesting...we (South Africans) also say Nes(t)-LAY, not Nes(t)-LEE.
Goose 609 oi gedra jouself!!!
Shané Lodewyks ?
I am so glad you tried our sweets, but they really could have sent you something better. We have truly great stuff here.
I think a Bar One is our favorite chocolate bar not Tex , remember you just got small mini's from every brand , the Tex bars is HUGE
they got a small bar i know you get a big tex as well as a bar one.I also say the bar one are more popular then tex by far here
Thank you
it is 1 big giant pleasure
Lol interesting pronunciation, we call it a "my low" bar in South Africa (the Milo), we can also get it in like a hot chocolate powder, to drink with hot milk. Cool video :)
Haha. They send you the cheap snacks. We have snacks tasting alot better. - From Cape Town
Reinz I agree 😂
Reinz jip do you speek afrikaans
Mila Kruger Ek doen ja.
baie lekkerder goed ja
Cheap Snacks - Can you give us the names of a few "Not so Cheap" Snacks? I'm assuming a Milo Bar costs 4 times more in Cape Town than it does in Johannesburg?
Hi, im from South Africa, good to see other countries like our snacks!!
they are good!
Martin Johnson, you should come here some time to try out more
+MiloDiggz 17380 I would love to!
tex is not the most popular. anything that is cadbury is the most popular
Darkart2 nope definitely not I've never even heard of that
Never heard of cadbury? Its a british chocolate company.its not my fault you dont know it lol
I agree with you. I've never even heard of the Tex
The TeX bar is way more popular😂😂 you people are mal, you can get like 3 TeX bars for one cadbury chocolate, it appleals to everyone cus it is so much cheaper.
I am south african btw
But TeX and bar one are probably equals
hahahah they loved the wonder bar, no one in SA buys wonders bars
+black opps 3 hadheid Why haven't they gone out of business?
black opps 3 hadheid so true😂
The last time I ate those was like 4 years ago
I ate Wonders Bars in Primary school I think I had one this year but Wonder Bars aren't that bad, I would recommend Lunch Bars.
LOLS for days - NO ONE buys Wonderbar!
Get over the pronounciation already...glad you guys enjoyed our treats! :) -❤ from SA
:)

+Paul de Beer wow. Thanks for the info! That meet snack sounds good. Maybe it is like Jerky in the states. I would love to visit SA some day.
It's a lot like jerky.
It is basically jerky, but we call it biltong here.
Isn't Centurion a suburb of Tshwane? Near Irene mos? Just checking as me and geography don't always agree😂😅
It is basicly Jerky... but i could be wrong Not sure how Jerky is made but i heard its not made the same... Here in South Africa it piece of meat covered in spices and Air dried for a few weeks *

From South Africa✌🏻️
looking at that packet of Flings and thinking "There's probably only going to be like 2 flings in that packet at best..If you guys are lucky" 😂😂 #SouthAfricanStruggles
KOMOREBI ja bruh
My thoughts exactly 😂😂
last time I counted there were exactly 6 flings 😂😭
Soooooooooo true
KOMOREBI funniest thing😂😂 the South African life.
by watching videos like this you truly do realise that South Africa is not that bad of a country and by the way just so you know South Africa is a country not a direction
No BarOne? I think that is the most popular chocolate bar in South Africa.
Pretty cool snacks! My favorite was the wonder bar!
Sarah Johnson 😂 Wonderbars are literally the cheapest chocolate. It's about R4 or in dollars 0,30c but the are very good though 😊
one time i went to spar and it was R2 one time even R1,50
Hello, Im from South Africa. Its funny watching how your family reacts to our snacks. The tennis biscuits are teh best!!!!
JSMK stone cold crazy oh yeah 😁 I think Americans normally pronounce it Mylo, it's just that we live in Indonesia where it's pronounced Meelo, so that's how we pronounce it haha
qhawe mamana Hi! It was fun trying them!
The bigger Tennis biscuits are actually for tea
Pleased ou like our snacks, but you definitely didnt get our best. Toppers are a cheap biscuit (cookie) as is fizzers and wonderbar. You would love our snacks if you did like those.
It is also pronounced "Maai-low"
The way they Milo and nestle hahaha
you need biltong!!
Milo = MY-LO and Nestle = Nest-LAY
I am from South Africa and i am still in it u guys have to try the bar one
South African 🇿🇦 proud
I'm from south Africa 🇿🇦 I get those treats everyday for school Ps there are way better chocolate in joburg in south Africa
pppft lunch bar isnt there?
All S.A's are triggerddededededegegegegegedgegdegdgedgegdegdgedgegdegdgd
Hannah Robinson OVIAS!!
Yeah,I love Lunch Bar.
Droëwors,Beef biltong are nice meat snacks.dont know if i may be sent to you.Rusks (or beskuit in Afrikaans) must eat with tea or coffee.Chappies Bubblegum,
Wilsons Jelly Tots,Wilsons Toffees, Simba Mrs Balls Chutney Chips,Cadbury Lunch Bar,FreshPak Rooibos tee,Oros.ther are some nice stuff that afrikaans people like
Is anyone else irritated by the fact that the girl bit half the tex and yet didn't give her dad ?
kaitlin samuel yes!
I'm irritated by the fact that they say me-low.
and also get some ghost pops they are nice too
Some of these I haven't had since the 90s. These aren't top snacks here. Biltong is a huge one for us
Biltong is the ultimate superior snack! King of all snacks!! Mmm!
why did the company send them smaller packages of everything???
It's a FREE Sample Pack !!
Omg i can't be the only one that used to roll up there fizzers
"Meelo"
*Angery South African noises*
the little peicec in the "mylow" bar are corals of the hotchoclate that thei also make
aweh wheres all my Cape Town mense❤
Here Jn lmk
Im from the eastern cape
They had to give you marvelous creations and biltong
The Wonder bar is one of the Cheapest chocolates in South africa 🤣
Really?
Martin Johnson yes If you buy it its like R2 maybe R3 and thats like 20 cents in us dollars ($0.20)
Martin Johnson Even Cheaper i Think
Martin I don't think it's that cheap, maybe close to R11 but R3?
You must be joking
joshua wentzel You dont even Pay For N Flake Aero Nothing R11
Should have included some Romany creams and Nutticrusts! Yum.
Katharine Forsyth its true
And Oumas!
I live in South Africa and i dont know what Flings are. Wow
Fizzers tend to melt quite easily and they're also really sticky so that's why there was that accident
Makes sense :)
I feel like the company ripped you off. Most of the mini things came in bigger sizes. The fizzers, the tennis biscuits, the tex and the milo bar for example. Good video though!!
the box was full. I guess they could have sent larger sizes but then they probably would have had less variety.
Martin Johnson okay I understand now. Great Video and am glad you enjoyed some of our South African Snacks. Biltong and some Rusks would have have been good to try to. After this video I think I will try give this a go and get a box delivered by the company. Looks very fun.

Interesting! You have some good snacks :)
And, that's just snacks. There're also others, like some cooked foods.
I am South African and Toppers and Tex are horrible. The choices in that box are quite average, we have better snacks here.
Jilly A I love Tex😍😍
Nik Naks and biltong best snacks :P
Jilly A I love toppers! 😍
No ways, Tex is the best
you need to try some biltong from south africa
I would love to try them. Martin Johnson
P.O. Box 1016
Yogyakarta DIY 55000

wow
I'm impressed... Although Tex isn't the most popular chocolate here
They should have had cheese curls instead of flings
They sent you cheap snacks Bro
Like if u agree
Tex is the perfect chocolate bar. It's a cross between a Kit-Kat and an Aero. You never have to choose between those two if there's a Tex on the shelf.
Indomie very popular in africa ,maybe you can make video indomie indonesia vs indomie africa :)
You missed out on a lot of amazing snacks but I love these too!
+Somari De Wet Maybe we can visit someday and try them all :)
milo is pronounced my-low not me-low
they sent you guys the baby versions of everything... I recommend you find a website that ships to America to try out everything properly
and we do actually have a lot of snack companies Bakers is just the best
I wonder why they sent you such cheap things though like in cape town I'm south africa here I live all these snacks are under R20😂
That's not even 2 dollars worth.
I love how excited you guys got about South Africa...
:D Are you from South Africa?
Martin Johnson I am indeed
Maize and corn are 2 different things. those are the cheapest snacks. Not doing S.A much credit,
hi there, milo is pronounced a bit different. from Johannesburg, South Africa.
I'm also afrikaans
Mary Sion ek ook!
Baie geluk!

I am from South Africa as well, and I don't think the Tex is the most popular chocolate here haha, don't know where they got the facts on that one. Not a big fan of the Wonder Bar either, there are much better treats that they could have added to the box.
+Euline Botha maybe the cheap stuff is considered most popular because they sell the most? Maybe it was judged by volume sold. I don't know.
+Euline Botha maybe the cheap stuff is considered most popular because they sell the most? Maybe it was judged by volume sold. I don't know.
I am not sure if Tex is necessarily cheaper than other chocolates, I will check the prices and let you know :)
lol why did they send you guys the cheap things?...
Enjoyed watching this video. It's been nearly 3 years - Have you guys visited South Africa yet?
Pity about the Fizzers that melted and the Tex Chocolate being so small. The Milo Chocolate bar is pronounced (My-low). You guys will definitely survive in South Africa - We have an abundance of delicious snacks, treats and AMAZING food!
The fact is in America your guys choclates are rubbish and your guys deserve better. We feed flings to babies here when they start eating solids. Creme Soda is a soft drink here in South Africa. Most of stuff you"ll received comes in regular size. Toppers come in several flavours and made by Bakers in South Africa. Pronounced My lo here comes as an instant drink, powdered form or as a choclates bar.
So you've tasted most of the Chocolates in America?
I love wonder bar when I can't open my mind what I want. Fizzers is also nice my kids slap it against a table to brake it. Milo bars is ok, toppers as well.
They should have added biltong
Hey, I'm from South Africa and these are not the best we have! The Milo bar is pronounced Mye-low. Fizzers are incredible but not when melted! They're supposed to be fairly rigid. There should have been some better chips, some drinks and at least some biltong! That would've been awesome. But good video!
Mi lo chocolate bar😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You also get a Milo malt drink that you mix with hot water and milk.
The little pieces in the chocolate bar is milo
milo is prenouced my-lo
+Gideon Botha not here.
Martin Johnson lol, here? most Americans haven't even heard of Milo. I've heard it pronounced mee-low in other countries, like Australia, but in South Africa it's my-low, which is where those snacks are from. ;)
Wow guys it was so cool seeying you enjoyed our products from South Africa its the most delicious goodies and the Tex choclate is my fav by far

I'm more of a Choc-kits, Eat-Sum-Mor and Nuttikrust girl myself... now I'm hungry...
They give you most of the cheapest stuff from South Africa
The milo is pronounced My-low, also those little pieces are milo which is a powder like coffee you mix with hot water and milk.
Hi! We have Milo over here in Indonesia too :) Here it's pronounced Meelo.
I am really happy you guys like our snacks i just have one problem you dont say Milo like that the I is almost pronounced like eye 😌
+Mia van Heerden that is how we pronounce it in Indonesia.

These are definitely our mini versions . Toppers are very cheap in South Africa. Our midrange version of business are fantastic!
the fizzers are usually hard and we sometimes freeze them and snap them then they're like toffee
+Dan Kearney cool.
Second American video where they pronounce Milo wrong and I love it. It's so pure
