I used to work at HEB. They have someone in produce making the fresh guacamole and salsas
True, but that ( 12:48 ) isn’t Salsa, that is Pico de Gallo.
I can't believe you guys came to Texas and didn't try Blue Bell ice cream. What an absolute failure of the people who were aware of your trip and didn't inform you of that.
Yep have try Blue Bell Ice Ceam 💥💥💥💥💥💥 cheers from a Texan in Mississippi
They can only do so many things in a lifetime, much less a small trip. Maybe they will next time cuz Blue Bell is everywhere even in Florida
they didnt really eat many local foods or texas staples. they mostly ate fast food.
I’m sure they’ll come back and have a different experience. Most foreigners who come try all the commercial places. Then the next time they don’t to the tourist thing and more of the local things, kind of like Jolly. 😂🎉
They did try Blue Bell ice cream
Put that honey butter on the warm tortillas!!!
I've mentioned this in the comments in their video that I used to live in the town his daughter lived. She married an ambassador to Australia named William Crook. When she married him, her name became Eleanor Butt Crook. I didn't know her & their kids were older than me, but they are a very good family & have given a LOT back in charities, etc. Their brand foods are good & they have good prices on most stuff. They have stores in Mexico too.
MILLIEVISION!

Blue Bell is a big thing in Texas. About 30 years ago one of my childhood friends, still friends today, moved to Vegas after college and everytime anyone went to visit were asked to bring ice chest of Blue Bell for him and neighbors he got hooked on. I love Blue Bell coffee flavored 😊 !!!! HEB makes lots of stuff fresh in house like tortilla chips, guacamole, sushi, floured and corn tortillas. I'm half Japanese, mom (100% ) and we eat HEB sushi all the time.
H.E.B is the initials of the original owner.
Bluebell ice-cream started in Brenham, TX ( you can tour & get ice cream to your hearts content)... the cows eat the bluebells that grow in the fields... the story goes... happy cows produce better cream 😅
They are such a fun group of guys. Always entertaining and always wholesome.
I love watching you two interact together on most of these videos- but what a treat to see you go solo! Love your beautiful smile!
It is H..E..B. just the letters.
Howdy from Texas! I've shopped at H.E.B. my entire life. Not exclusively mind you. I do shop at other grocery stores now and then. But H.E.B. has been around since before I was even born. My mother actually worked at one during the sixties. And many years later my wife worked at one during the early two thousands.
I really love their store brands because they are always a bit cheaper than the name brands. But also because all too often, they taste even better than the name brands. Which is very uncommon for any grocery store's branded products.
H.E.B is also in Mexico too. 😅
The secret to the "store bought chocolate chip type cookies is to put a few in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds...and then they taste just like you got them fresh from the oven!!! Just something to remember!!
just a couple things
1: no they don't
2: no they don't
My brother-in-law is an Architectural Engineer who helped design this store. He also has worked on Chick-fil-A restaurants, Whataburger restaurants, Target stores, Grocery Outlet stores, banks and others. However, I think that he really appreciates the HEB stores (because he lives in Texas).
@6:39 lol not me automatically busting out.... The stars at night are big and bright.... (Clap clap, Clap)
Deep in the heart of Texas... im from tennessee and never been to texas and that came out so Naturally... to be fair I LOVE REBA so i watched her show on repeat and theirs where i learned/ and heard the song lol
I go to HEB in Texas This video had me laughing so hard 😂enjoyed this video Millie🎉
Blue bell ice cream is superior. The homemade vanilla will change your opinion on vanilla if you’re not a fan. It’s soo good and not bland. They have a flavor called the Texas Two Step and it’s personally one of my faves.
You ARE on your way to 300k, every journey begins with one step! I'm sure you never realized when you started this channel where it would take you, who you would meet, what you would learn, and how much you would teach us as well. The journey is the thing. Great job!
Love to the family.
Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla is the best ice cream ever. You have to try Homemade Vanilla!!!!!
I always thought H•E•B stood for: Here • Everything's • Better 😂
I wish we had an H•E•B in my city it's supposedly America's favorite grocery store. You know when the store brands are as good or better than the name brands then it's a really good store & you can save money buying the store brands. I love watching both you & James & Josh & Ollie seeing all the varieties of items & seeing how excited you get over cupcake goldfish & anything else. Realizing how lucky we are but we grew up with it all & don't know any other way. When I lived in Okinawa Japan for 4 years we had the military commissary (grocery stores) we could get most foods we love plus some local groceries. I remember going into Japanese stores & seeing all the strange & different foods we wanted to buy & try. Both of you are so funny & entertaining & Archie is so adorable & growing so fast. 💜🙏
Millie,
I am sure you remember that in the stores over here, ok, the non small stores, we have 20 to 30 or more flavors of cookies, and each flavor has several brands. This means that you can find cookies to suite your tastes… likely.
Yes, there is a difference between fresh baked and packaged cookies, but you can find ones that are packaged that come close to the fresh baked ones at most places. But when you go to the right bakeries, you can’t beat their fresh baked cookies. I so totally agree.
Our Aldi in Florida has fresh salsa too in the fridge aisle. I always got that and their Mexican Street Corn dip.
Yep Aldi is also in California.
12:48 For the record, that is not salsa with the guacamole. It is Pico de Gallo. Salsa is more blended into more of an actual sauce.
I'll be glad when you have enough subscribers that Jolly is reacting to YOUR videos.
Grabbing food with a tortilla like that at 11:43 is the correct way to fill a tortilla. It's the Mexican way.
those cookies need to be able to sit on a shelf so i imagine they all taste similar
HEB is definitely a step up in quality from Walmart.
Pecan shortbread HEB cookies those are so good
You guys will just need to come back and visit more!
If I'm not mistaken, the one in the Hat is drinking a 16oz 300mg caffeine Monster Coffee energy drink. It looks like the can.....I drink em so I'd know 😂
My mom would make tortillas from scratch twice a week. They were delicious with butter when heated😋. We had a lot of kids in our family
You can’t imagine the difference between fresh-baked tortillas and any packaged tortilla, warmed up or not. Fresh-baked is just profoundly good. The fresher the better - best is to stand by the HEB oven and get a sample of one just come out.
11:53 That's how oldshool Hespanics eat, no utensils, just tear off a piece of tortilla aand scoop with your fingers. All my uncle ate that way.
They grabbed the larger shooping cart. That one is so 2 toddlers can sit in the front.
Many states have their own version of massive food stores😊
Yep here in California we El Super which is the American version or Chedraui.
I agree with you, Millie, about the taste of store bought cookies vs bakery or homemade cookies.
Howdy from Tx..I live around Austin area..H.E.B..is a great store almost feels like being around family ,kinda sounds strange I know..I go every week..not a big Walmart person
.Blue Bell is the best Ice cream imo..Creamy Creation is good also..a wee cheaper also..
Loves yalls channel
Traditionally, in Europe, you go food shopping two or three times a week. Perhaps because you have smaller freezer/refrigerators or you prefer you fresh foods to be fresher. I go food shopping once a week and sometimes not even then. So, we buy more at one time. The trolley/carts are larger. And we tend to be larger people. Food stores have the smallest profit margins in all of retail, mostly because there are actually too many of them. Several of the major chains have been closing their stores that are underperforming compared to other stores in the chain. This is just econ 101. The rise of Walmart, HEB, Costco, Amazon is in fact more pressure to identify and close the lowest profit/cost stores. But what do the growth stores offer? Good old fashion DEPARTMENT stores of the past. One stop shopping. Again, Europeans have a long tradition of going to the butcher shops to buy meat, pastry shops to buy pastries, etc. We don't, Why? Because in no small part, frozen items are going to turn to soup by the time we get home.
HEB is only in central Texas, I think the eastern most locations are around Houston, northern most around Dallas, and most others are in the Austin / San Antonio areas. As a side note Blue Bell Ice Cream started in Brenham, Texas (about half way between Houston, and Austin), expanded outside of Texas around 1980, and is now sold in about 30 states, for a long time their slogan was "We eat all we can, then we sell the rest". They have a visitor center with an ice cream parlor in Brenham, where you can watch the factory from from an observation window, and get ice cream for $1 per scoop, they will typically have a dozen or so flavor 3 or 4 of which are trail flavors not yet available in stores. p.s. on a couple of trivia notes, Blue Bell is also the only ice cream ever served in space, and Blue Bell sent special weekly deliveries to the White House when George Bush was president as at the time Blue Bell Ice Cream was not available in Washington DC
They’ve been opening some around north Texas (finally!!)
HEB is out in Odessa, Lubbock and maybe other areas in West Texas. Also down in the Valley.
@@tosweet68 They must have really expanded recently, when I checked a couple of years ago their western most stores were in the hill country about 75 miles west of Austin.
One in Lubbock has the most awesome BBQ restaurant inside with a drive thru on the side.
Also in South Texas
If you ever come back to the States, go to Jungle Jim’s in Ohio. You won’t believe it’s real until you go there. So massive
No worries. H E B is letters, not a word. When it comes to food, you can't go wrong at HEB grocery store. HEB is mainly a Texas grocery store, but they have been expanding into mexico.
I really miss Blue Bell Butter Pecan ice cream. They don't sell it in the region I live in now.
Blue bell is definitely good ice cream. It's probably the best you can get in the grocery store. Certainly the most varieties of flavors.
Never had an HEB tortilla but they are so much better fresh.
Find a recipe for cowboy cookies, they're good.
As far as I know HEB is only in Tx..not all parts though..Central,South mostly..
HEB is also in Mexico.
11:10 "In a car park Texas just eating a plain tortilla and absolutely loving life". Here in Texas we call that being homeless
I just moved from Austin, TX, after 20 years there….😢 (Moved to the northeast for family.) I MISS HEB SO MUCH. I almost cry sometimes at the local grocery store here, because while it’s just fine, it’s no HEB! I would give anything for those buttery freshly-made tortillas and the Creamy Creations ice cream! 😭😭😭
In the East the massive 100-150K sq. foot supermarkets with 70-80,000 items are Wegmans. There are like 3 people in each department like meat, cheese, fish, floral, wine, bakery, pizza, burger, sushi, etc. H-E-B are huge but Wegmans are actually a food mall in a bigger sense.
i mean oillie it is the lone star state lol @6:48
HEB is a privately owned family grocery chain found only in Texas. HEB’s fancy upscaled chain is called “Central Market” and can be found outside Texas. fyi
It's not just found in Texas it's also found in Mexico.
Millie, I noticed that when people make guacamole here in the states they put Too Much Lime in it. You are supposed to taste the avocado. I am Mexican so I know a little bit on the subject
I live in Houston. H-E-B is one of the BEST grocery stores. Blue Bell ice cream belongs in your family's freezer. It's the BEST.
Shortly after my wife and I married, she was at the store and I asked for vanilla ice cream. I didn’t think I needed to tell her (a Texas girl mind you) that there is only one, blue bell. She came home with something less than blue bell, I was shocked.
Blue Bunny is much better. It's all in the container when it comes to ice cream. Plastic > paper.
@@ahoyforsenchou7288 hell no
Blue Bunny is nice too.
Bluebell is the Texas state flower.
It’s not the “bluebell” but the BIUEBONNET !
I really miss HEB since I left Texas 7 years ago. Small or large, they were always a pleasure to shop in.
More than that, though, HEB takes being part of the community seriously. The company sends huge portable kitchens to areas hit by storms, flooding, etc. And when the electric grid failed and shut down an HEB, and its registers, they told all those in the store to go ahead and bag up what they had and take it, no charge.
I have an H-E-B less than 2 miles from me or a little over 3 kilometers away.
There all in TX I think they have 330-345 stores.Most HBE Stores are in the more southern to the Eastern part of the State.
Blue Bell Cream ,is the only Ice Cream brand I will buy for my Family!
I only know of Blue Bunny.
I went to my local HEB after watching their video and seeing the Carolina Reaper Cheetos. I ate half the bag in one sitting and they weren't really that hot, they had a fantastic flavor though!
Chick fil a sauce is easy to make. Google a recipe, i'm sure the ingredients are locally available.
Well, obviously y’all need to come back to TEXAS and pick up on the things you missed. HEB is the lifeblood of TEXANS, it a mandatory place to visit! It was started from my hometown of San Antonio. The company has really grown in recent years and has only gotten better. It’s an impressive chain, got everything and more! 😋
Millie ❤ when you next visit Texas, I highly recommend visiting HEB & when you're there get a BBQ brisket from their freezer section, take it home & bake it you'll LOVE it even better than the BBQ places you went to 😉👍 it's the BEST❤❤❤🎉
We need to get together and buy the Beasleys a TH-cam Premium account….they don’t need to see ads while they are recording
I’m in West Virginia and never heard of HEB, must be a Texas thing.
the taste that, apparently, everyone on Earth knows from commercial cookies is baking soda.
not likely to have baking soda in fresh/bakery cookies.
But here in states people shop for the day or the week but most shop for the month hence the big carts.
If HEB (said like you are spelling it) isn't totally in Texas, it is mostly there.
Its Texas only, it's one of the reasons I miss Texas so MUCH!! (I think its the only reason that's still available in Texas only any more🤔? ) YEP my kids have all had to leave, & the atmosphere is gone as i knew it when i grew up there 😭 RIP Texas⚰️
Millie, please have a look at this video. It is Jolly as well. (Brits go noodling for catfish in the south.)
We say, "Aitch-E-B."
I don't think anyone in America says "Haitch."
Correct. In about half the words starting with the letter "H," it's not pronounced.
Figuring out which ones is a problem.
When in TEXAS, forget Walmart for food! Only HEB! So much better in every way.
Hope they (and you all) visit a better grocery store (IMHO)... and pretty much just as big at most locations. Wegmans. Wegmans in Dewitt, NY (biggest at 160,000 square feet not including the adjacent liquor store), Wegmans in Pittsford, NY (flagship), or Wegmans in Johnson City, NY (busiest store with the most registers)... or a most unique one (and only 90,000 square feet) Astor Place in Manhattan, NYC.
HEB is only in Texas and I'm not sure whether Wegmans is anywhere but New York. I've never been even though I did live in Albany for a while. Maybe it was pre-Wegman.
@@jmcg6189 There are Wegmans in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Delaware, North Carolina, DC, and soon Connecticut. No Wegmans in Albany area yet.
@@todaresq Guess they're not in my area of North Carolina and weren't in Maryland when I lived there.
@@jmcg6189 Currently some in the Raleigh area, and soon Charlotte.
@@todaresq Guess I'm out of luck then. I'm near Asheville.
Thank you 🙏 great 👍 single ☝️reaction ☝️and great 👍 comment and it looks 👏🍰🥞🥓🧁🌮🍔freshly made 👍👋☮️
It would be great if the next time you're in the USA, that you venture away from California and Texas because there's a whole lot of America you haven't seen yet. If you do a southern tour, I suggest Gerogia, and specifically Atlanta. It's a great state and city. I'm biased of course, being from Atlanta. But regardless, get out and see some more of America!
Has H-E-B made cr4ppy cookies and pastries? Yes, they have... BUTT (see what I did there?) Cowboy cookies are great!
Chips Ahoy have gone to heck, along with most packaged food in the US.
H - E - B: Here Everything is Better.
God, I love you, Millie! 🇺🇸❤️😘
It's Just Me But I Wouldn't Eat Raw Fish(Sushi)
Sushi is sticky rice, not raw fish.
Certainly you can get raw fish in it and it’s probably the most popular but some sushi is cooked.
Sashimi is raw fish or meat.
I wouldn't either, so not just you.
Hi
she knows less now than when she started.
👍👍
Heb is only in Texas and some in Mexico
Yep HEB might mostly be in the Monterrey region of Mexico.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like, if anything deserves strikes from youtube, it's reacting to another reactor's reaction video.
I retired from HEB
I like your videos, but you should edit in a close up of the food you're trying out for the first time. A clear visual of what you're eating makes the video a lot more interesting than just watching you eat it.
First off I would not have visited Texas 🤦♂️
It could have been yours too.😢
Its H. E. B.
Texas having their own power grid is stupid.
It’s not. We’re the biggest state and our population keeps increasing annually. We NEED our own source for our hot summers. The only down side, big freezes, which aren’t common but went to shit during the great freeze a few years ago.
@@natattack_95
that's why it's stupid because of what happened a few years ago with the deep freze.
Why, pray tell, would one want to be subject to regulation by the feds? Masochism or even more of a sillyass green than Texas regulators?
Yep which is why California's power grid is top notch.
Opening themselves to Federal regulation? As if that is a good thing?
HEB sucks and I live in san antonio texas.👎
Friggin kids in a candy store!!!
