- Today I am going on a
- First date snack swap.
(upbeat music)
- I've been on like, Tinder, like Hinge,
like dating app dates, but never like a full on blind date,
so this is terrifying.
- I have been on a blind date, thirteen years ago.
We remained friends, I don't. . . we like. . .
had like a small fling, or whatever.
But, uh, no love blossomed.
- I'm nervous about the other people's snacks
because spicy is way in right now,
and I can do a little bit of spicy,
but like, I don't want anything that's gonna like
burn out my mouth.
- I don't think my opinion would change
on someone's choice of snack.
But, then again, I've never went on a date with anybody
who had these crazy snack choices. So, maybe.
- And I'm also gonna judge people
if they don't like my snacks,
because my snacks are pretty basic and pretty classic.
And that's what I'm looking for in life.
I don't want anyone with like "fancy snacks."
- My favorite "go to" snacks are: Oreos, Lay's Potato Chips,
I love Swedish Fish too.
I'm a very picky eater,
so there are certain snacks that I'm not going to try.
- I don't eat meat. Some sort of animal by-product,
that came at the cost of some animal's suffering.
I'm gonna have to take a hard pass.
- I have no expectations, I guess.
Hoping to get some good snacks,
hopefully somebody else has a love for Oreos like me.
- I don't expect to fall in love over snacks today,
but I could be pleasantly surprised.
Buzz Feed, let me know.
- Okay so I'm ready to meet my date.
- There's snacks involved, how could it go wrong, right?
(upbeat music)
- Yes! I knew it! - Yeah (laughing)
- I knew it.
- Yes.
(regal music)
- Full disclosure to the audience,
Troy and I have been "snack dating" all week.
(laughing)
- Yes we had, uh,
- Didn't know it was going to be a
blind snack date today though. - Yeah.
- I'm very excited though, - Yeah.
because I think that you'll appreciate my snacks.
I'm a little nervous.
- Don't be.
- Cause I know that you and I have very different like
eating styles, i.e., you like meat.
- I do. But, I have faith in you, Bekki.
- I didn't pick any vegan snacks.
- [Troy] Okay I appreciate that.
- So, well I didn't know it was you,
I might of if I knew it was you.
- Someone told me that Oreos were vegan,
I don't know if that's true.
- They are, that is true.
Oreos are vegan,
but there's a controversy, because they use palm oil.
- Ahhh.
- Internet you decide.
(upbeat music)
- [Bekki] The first category is chips.
Troy, I'm going to let you go first.
- You can't go wrong with classic Lay's.
I mean, it's so American, I love it.
- I was so scared whoever was here
was gonna pick like Takis, and I was like I can't eat these.
- [Troy] No I don't, I don't eat Takis.
- Yeah, no. I too went a very classic route,
the original Cheetos.
- Good.
- I think they're losing to Spicy Cheetos,
or like Hot Cheetos, - Hot Cheetos.
- And Hot Cheetos are fine, they have their place.
- I'm not, I'm not a huge fan of hot Cheetos.
- But classics, just classic American snacks.
- That's it. Should we do it.
- Should we do it like - We should 'Cheers.'
- I was gonna say, we could do it like,
the "fancy" style.
(crunching)
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Hey, um, I appreciate you even more, Bekki.
- These are just good.
They're like a good foundation of a chip.
That's all you really need.
You can only find Hot Cheetos everywhere,
and they're fine, like they're whatever.
But like, a classic regular Cheeto.
- I feel like people are gonna hate me
for not liking Hot Cheetos, but I like this.
I love them.
- Um hmmm, I'm stoked.
- You know you can't go wrong with just,
don't give me nothing fancy,
just some good old cheese and puff, whatever the heck.
First swap, was definitely a success.
(upbeat music)
- Next up, the dessert.
- What do ya got, what do ya got?
- Boom! Oreos.
- Classic wonderful snack.
- [Troy] I love 'em.
- Traditional.
- Love 'em too much, you know,
blood sugar is uh, not where it should be.
- My snack is the classic.
It is my favorite of all time.
- That's nice. Oooooh! Yeah!
I love these things too!
- [Bekki] Rice Krispie Treats are, they're the best!
- They are so good. - Again you don't a lot,
you just need a little butter,
a little marshmallow, and a little crunch.
- That's it, that's it.
- I was terrified that whoever got paired up with me
was just going to be like, "I only eat beef jerky."
- Oh, no no no. - And I was going to be like
I can't eat that, my stomach will hurt for a week.
- Yeah, no, I wouldn't do that.
- Um. I am so stoked that my blind date
was so considerate to think about the environment,
and the environmental impact
that vegan and vegetarian items don't have.
And to provide a classic snack.
- For me a Rice Krispies Treats,
it just takes you back to being a kid.
You know like, I remember like
people would bring in treats for like uh,
a classroom party or whatever,
and someone's mom always made Rice Krispie Treats,
and I always was excited about it.
So simple, but so damn good.
- But it's the same thing with Oreos,
they're just like, a classic good snack.
See you don't need to be fancy.
The reason these snacks have been around since forever,
is 'cause they're good.
Swap number two, a flying, smashing success.
- Whoo hoo.
(upbeat music)
- [Bekki] The last swap is candy.
I feel like I still have Oreos in my teeth.
(laughing)
- Ready? - Ready?
- Yes. I hope you enjoy these.
- Oh, I'm nervous now.
Again, you know me
- I'm a simple girl, I like simple things.
- Okay.
- Yes. I you know what? - Kit Kats.
- Okay, I haven't had a Kit Kat in a long time.
Those are underrated.
- It's because they're hard to find
- Yeah that's true.
- Cause everyone takes them first.
- Now I feel like they're all these these like
white chocolate ones - [Bekki] No.
- And dark chocolate ones.
- Nope, you just want a classic Kit Kat.
- So yeah, I. . . - With that sweet crunch.
- Take, take me back, I like it.
All right, here we go.
- I'm nervous.
- Swedish Fish.
- Those are also vegan.
- Yes!
- Ah. They're an underrated snack.
Oh they are so good.
- Yes. I could eat, just eat the whole box
right now if you'll let me.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's why - Please don't, you can't eat
the whole box because this is my box.
I got you a Kit Kat.
- Yeah, I can't remember the last time I had a Kit Kat.
It was one of those things
that I really, really, really, really liked.
- And you eat it correctly.
You break it apart, and not just bite it like a monster.
- Yeah, man, I'm no savage.
- Okay. Mmmmm. Genius Kit Kat company.
If you want to endorse me I'll take it.
I love it, it's so good.
Yeah, again, I don't want White Chocolate Kit Kat,
or dark chocolate, I just want a Kit Kat.
- It's a classic red Swedish fish.
They come in other flavors which are also good.
- [Troy] Mmm hmmm.
But not as good as the red.
- [Troy] They come in other flavors?
- Yeah, yeah, you have to find, it's hard.
If I ever find a bag.
(bomb exploding)
- This is great. This is the best snack swap ever.
This is so much better than my expectations.
- Yeah.
- It was also the best first date I've been on
in a really long time.
- Yeah, I'm happy that now, you know other than this hat
then I'm okay with Bekki, you know.
- For you Troy, (trumpets sounding fan fare)
because you picked out good snacks.
- Look at that.
- But the shirt's staying on.
(laughing)
- Troy, how do you think this date went?
- I think it went really well.
I'm looking forward to more snack dates with you.
- Yes. Snack dates, snack dates.
(laughing)
- I am baking this week-end.
- Ooooh, can't wait for Monday then,
so that we can enjoy another, a snack for lunch.
- I think it went great. Uh. Good company,
even better snacks.
- Um hmm.
- Nothing to complain about.
(clinking glasses)
