- Oh, that's disgusting.
- That's something I've never experienced before.
- I'm just going through like 200 countries,
like no, no, maybe, no.
♪ (upbeat electronic intro) ♪
- (FBE) How big of a sweet tooth do you have?
- Oof, I have a really, really bad sweet tooth.
- I know all of the desserts.
- I used to have a huge sweet tooth, and then I worked in a candy store
for a year and a half, two years.
- (FBE) Well, we're gonna be giving you some unwrapped candy,
that originates from different countries around the world,
and you're going to have to guess which country each one comes from.
- Oh, how cool. - Cool, okay.
- I'm so bad at that, but I'm so excited to try it.
- Yeah, I don't care about losing! (laughs)
- Oh my God, I know. You don't lose,
you just try everything! - Exactly!
- (FBE) So for each round,
we're gonna give you a piece of unwrapped candy.
You'll each write down which country you think it originated from
on the whiteboards that we're gonna give you,
and then on the count of three, we'll see who got it correct.
The person with the most answers correct wins!
- Okay. - Alright, let's do it.
- The hard part is kind of just like what specialty that country has.
- Hmm. - I think like
the biggest thing though is textures in chocolate
is really different from country to country.
- Alright. - Ooh!
- I think I know what these are.
- (Mikaela) I think I do too.
- It's a green tea Kit Kat. - Yeah.
Hmm, I'm not a big fan of green tea. - Yeah me neither.
- But I'm kinda interested.
- Oh, mmm, mm! - Mm-hmm.
- We seen this. - I think we have too.
- We've seen this!
- I feel like I already know. - It's matcha Kit Kats isn't it?
- Oh, already know.
- I feel like this is the green tea Kit Kat.
That is the green tea Kit Kat. - Mm-hmm.
- It's good, but I don't think I'd eat it like on my off time.
- No, I definitely wouldn't have like a whole pack of it.
But it's not as bad as I thought. - Yeah.
- I already know. We sold these in our work.
We actually sold like a huge variety, it was kinda nuts.
There were some weird flavors, and you're just like
why is this a flavor of Kit Kat?
- I'm trying to remember the wrapper, and I know it's like
some sort of Asian writing on it,
and I don't know if it's either Korean or Japan.
- I think we both know where this is from.
- I think so too. - (FBE) Pretty confident?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- (FBE) Okay, let's see your answers!
- Japan? - Japan.
- Alright.
- (FBE) So this was actually a matcha green tea Kit Kat from Japan.
- (FBE) So Jeannie got it right! - Oh, okay.
Yes, good job Jeannie! (bell rings)
- I feel like everyone always goes to Japan and like brings these back.
That's like the thing. - Yeah.
- That's the only reason I know.
- They have a Kit Kat store in Japan,
so I think that's the only reason I knew this,
because we actually got to go to the Kit Kat store,
and I got this one too, it was really good.
- I remember seeing these, and like, there was a whole,
all over Japan, there's vending machines,
like coffee vending machines, and candy vending machines.
- Yes! - I remember seeing these a lot too.
- I've seen these in like the YouTuber eat all the candy videos.
All the mukbangs or whatever.
- Not my cup of tea, no pun intended.
- (FBE) Alright, where does this candy come from?
- Ugh, this is hard.
- What are you? - I don't...
- (Mikaela) Look at you.
- (Troy) So there's probably something inside.
- Yeah, I have to assume it's a chocolate covered something.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Look like Duds? Is it Duds?
- Yeah. - The movie candy.
- I know which one you're talking about, yeah.
- What are you from? - Like some sort of animal?
I don't know, it looks like a little pellet.
I can't make out what the taste in the middle is.
- It tastes like a better version of Buncha Crunch.
It's very rich. - A little thing.
- Really good chocolate.
It makes me think Europe.
It makes me think something like either,
like England or Germany, 'cause they have really good chocolate.
- God, I don't know, what country likes chocolate?
All of them?
- I feel like there might have been a little malt in the chocolate.
The chocolate itself seemed a little waxier, not as creamy.
- I'm feeling European, for some reason.
- Yeah. - I don't know why.
I thought these were American. - 'Cause it's very sweet.
- Yeah, yeah. - That's why.
- I've had candy from Ireland once, and I'm trying to remember
if like that's something that was there.
It tastes like a Whopper. - Yeah, but better.
- You ready? - Yep.
- Three, two! - (laughs) Is it Belgium?
- Germany, yeah. - Germany's a good one.
- What'd you say? Australia, okay.
- I did.
- (laughs) I didn't have an educated guess,
so I made an uneducated guess.
- The thing itself reminded me of Maltese, or Maltesers.
It's like essentially the Whoppers, but the UK version.
- (FBE) So these are Violet Crumble Nuggets from Australia.
- Are you [bleep] kidding me? - What!?
- Are you [bleep]? - How?
Oh my gosh! Jeannie's playing me.
She's like an expert on candies from other countries,
and she's just pretending not to know, wow.
- Oh, it's Violet. I hate myself right now.
- Wait, I still don't know the answer.
- Violet Crumble is an Australian candy.
We didn't sell 'em in the nugget form, so it threw me off.
We sold the bar, and there wasn't a lot
of like the crumble nougat that was on the inside,
so it was throwing me off.
- I like the name of that, Violet Crumble Nuggets. (laughs)
- Oh my.
- Those are good though, I really like those.
- Really good.
- Hmm, like I could see myself eating the whole bag on accident.
- Honeycomb, ooh. (buzzer rings)
- Honeycomb double dipped in milk chocolate.
Okay Australia. - I would eat that whole bag.
- You are so much experienced than me. - Bro, I worked in a candy,
in a candy store that pretty much specialized in international candy,
so I'm frustrated with myself right now.
- (FBE) Here is our third candy. Do you know where it's from?
- Wow, it looks like a log. - (Chelsea) Yeah, that's cute.
- It doesn't even look real. Like, this doesn't look real.
- This is a cool little design on it. - I have never seen this.
- Neither have I, it looks like a milk chocolate.
- Oh, it's kinda like a Kit Kat.
- Yeah, but it tastes like a broken up Kit Kat on the inside.
- This is interesting. - Mmm.
- It's like a Kit Kat bar. - Mm-hmm.
- It's so familiar, but I can't... - Do you know what it tastes like?
- Ugh. - Crunch.
It's that same type of chocolate. - Mmm.
I feel like I've definitely tasted this particular chocolate before.
- I'm just cycling through this library of candy in my head.
- I'm just going through like 200 countries, like no, no, maybe, no.
- You ready? Go!
- Ook.
- Ooh, Italy! - We both have Is.
- Yeah! - We're both thinking Is.
- I said Paris. - I said Sweden.
- Oh, Sweden's a good one. I just thought it looked bougie,
so I was like Paris. - I think Paris,
but that's not a country. - Holy [bleep] I meant (laughs)
Wait! (laughs) - It's okay.
- (FBE) These are Ferrero Duplo, and they're from Germany.
- No way! - (FBE) So Mikaela you got that right!
- Really? (bell rings)
Wow, that was totally like a shot in the dark.
- (Troy) Damn, good guess. - I was just like eh,
a little tree.
(Ethan yells)
- This doesn't seem that long.
- This was really good. (buzzer rings)
- I'm going to Germany. - Probably my favorite so far.
- I gotta get some of this.
- (FBE) Okay, we've got some sugary goodness for you.
Do you know where it comes from?
- I have a couple ideas.
- (Mikaela) I do too. - Off the bat,
but let's see if it's like spicy, sour.
- I used to eat these in high school all the time.
- That's not fair, he already knows the answer!
- Oh, that's disgusting. - Mmm!
- That tastes like I just took sea salt and threw it in my mouth.
- This is my favorite. It's, what's it called?
Tamarind?
- It's like a, yeah, sweet chili type sauce.
- Yeah, or like a chili paste. It's like a chili paste,
wrapped in like a watermelon or mango flavored lollipop.
- The ones that I'm thinking of though tend to be spicy.
- I usually eat off brand ones, so I don't know the official name.
(laughs)
I used to eat really [bleep] off brand ones,
but they were good.
- Dude, I love it. - You bit into it?
- Yeah. - See, I wanna try that part.
- And then you get a mix of the sweet too.
- Yeah, I wanna try it.
- (laughs) All the salt comes down. - Mm-hmm, that's better.
- Mm-hmm! - It's not the best though. (laughs)
- I love it!
I don't know, I like salty. Oh my God! (laughs)
- Alright, you ready? - Yes.
- Let's go!
- Okay!
- (FBE) Both said Mexico. - Yeah!
- (FBE) Okay, so these are Rebanaditas from Mexico.
- Yes, nice. - Yep, oh yeah.
I literally used to eat these til like my mouth
would start to taste like blood, like, I just loved them.
- Oh my. (Mikaela laughs)
- We actually sold these by the strip,
so there would be hanging in strips of like 10 of these.
- Ooh! - Just in one strip
and the strip would be like maybe three bucks?
- All this type of candy is like super popular.
They put that like powdered chili on everything.
You can get like mangos and like fruit.
- Yeah! - And fresh fruit,
when they put it on it. (bell rings)
- It tastes like Tajin.
Tajin is like a very like, they put it on top of fruits,
and it's supposed to be the shape of a watermelon,
tastes like watermelon when you bite into the hard candy.
But I feel like growing up in L.A., you see this all the time.
- Mm-hmm.
- (FBE) Here's the next one.
So where do you think this comes from?
- Mmm. - It smells funky.
- Oh, they're like hollow. - Yeah.
- I thought there was cream inside.
- Oh, they smell funky, not funky, but,
not what I expected them to smell like.
- This just looks like a cookie. - (Eric) That's what I was thinking.
- But a sugar cookie. Wow, that is crunchy.
- It tastes like ceral that's really bad for you.
- Yeah, I know exactly what it is.
I don't know what country these come from.
- I like the taste though. It tastes like Christmas.
It almost feels like it does have like a cherry filling, but it doesn't.
- Oh cherry, that's what it is.
- It's an almond cookie, for sure.
It could be anywhere from like,
anywhere in like France. - Mm-hmm.
- To again, going back to like Asia area.
I don't know.
- You ready, three, two, one! - Yep.
- What'd you say? - You're doing Paris again?
- [Bleep]! (laughs)
- So I believe they're called Amaretto cookies, something like that.
I said it in my head with a French accent,
but then before I wrote it down,
I was like oh, it could be Spanish, actually.
- (FBE) Eric, you were right!
- I told you! - Oh!
- You surprised?
- (FBE) These are Amaretti Cookie Snaps from Italy.
- I could feel it in my bones. - (laughs) Interesting.
- I thought it was leaning slightly.
- Italy! - Okay.
I'm so bummed that I knew what they were,
but I still got the country wrong.
- Anything you can dip in coffee, I'm down for it.
I'm going to Italy. - Mm-hmm.
- Let's do it.
- Ooh!
- (FBE) Alright, from which country does this candy originate?
- (Danny) Very, oh, oh!
- Yeah! - What is this texture?
- Smell it. - It's like moon sand.
- It's like if a Rice Krispie Treat was made of tofu.
It's weird, 'cause you like bite into it, and it's semi-solid,
and then as soon as it hits your saliva, it just kinda melts
and coats your throat.
- Feels like I'm about to eat chalk. - That's what it looks like.
- Oh, it's good though.
(Brittany coughs) She didn't like it.
(Brittany laughs)
- (FBE) You both look very unsure.
- Oh, what.
- I liked it and then I didn't like it. (laughs)
- It's kinda peanut buttery.
- It's like if peanut brittle was soft.
- I know what this is!
I tried this for the first time the other day,
and like, me and my friends got it because we thought it looked gross
and we're like let's just try it,
and it was actually really good, to our surprise.
But I forget where it's from!
- I'm thinking more like Indian or like Central American.
- Alright, you ready?
- Yep. - Let's do it.
- Is it Thailand?
- Sorry.
- (FBE) These are actually Halva, and they're from Greece.
- (Troy) Oh! - Oh!
- Halva, that's it, Halva! (buzzer rings)
- (FBE) The main ingredients are tahini and vanilla,
but you guys were mostly mentioning peanut butter.
- Oh, it's just 'cause it tastes a lot like peanut butter.
- That's so gross.
- That's something I've never experienced before.
But I just think it's interesting that we are like no, that's so gross,
but on the other side of the world, they're like wow, we love this.
Like it's a candy they eat.
- (FBE) Here's the last candy, where's it from?
- Okay, this looks like Tamarind.
- It tastes like an all natural Dot. Remember the Dots?
- I like Dots, yeah. - Like that candy.
It kinda has the same texture.
- Oh yeah, that consistency was immediately different.
- It's a lot gummier than I thought it would be.
- Yeah, I thought it was gonna be more chocolate consistency.
- Mmm, they taste like those like natural fruit bar things.
- Yeah. - Like the fruit bar things,
but covered in sugar. - From like Trader Joe's.
Kinda almost like a rasin. - Mm-hmm!
Like a big raisin. - Like a date?
- This could be a lot of places.
- It definitely tastes like a date.
I feel like I've had this at a relative's house,
so I'm associating Asian countries with this.
- I really, really, really liked that one.
This one, I'm getting like, very like...
- I have no idea. - Tropical vibes.
- Ooh, I see where you're coming from.
- I'm also trying to picture parts of the world
that we haven't covered yet, 'cause we've done a lot of Europe.
I feel like, I don't know, what's something outside.
- Yeah, I'm leaning really strong South America right now.
- Alright, let's do it. - Ready.
I said Brazil.
- Brazil.
- I wrote Puerto Rico. - Oh cool, okay.
- (FBE) So these were dried mango tamarind balls
from the Philippines. (buzzer rings)
- Mango!
- I frickin' knew it was an Asian thing!
- That's what that is.
- If I had picked up on mango, (buzzer rings)
I think it would have been easier to make the transition
to Philippines. - I mean, that's part of what like,
was messing me up, 'cause I was like there's tropical fruits
that show up all across the globe,
specifically trying to narrow it down to one place is hard.
- I'm not a big like fruit person, like in my desserts and stuff,
or like my candy, but that's pretty good.
- (FBE) So with the final score of 2-2, you tied!
- Yeah! - We did that [bleep]!
- Love us, like I'm happy with us!
- (FBE) Jeannie you won! - Yay, good job!
- It's really cool to see that there's so many
different flavors across the world
that aren't similar to like our own home country, so...
- Yeah, that Greek one. - Oh my God, yeah!
- Dude, so gross but people love that. - They like it.
And they probably taste our stuff like "what the hell?"
- I like seeing how chocolate
is done differently throughout different countries.
'Cause it's the same basic concept,
it's just like little details that are different.
I'm a big candy fan overall, so I'm just happy
that I'm an international candy fan now.
