Hey everyone! Dana here, and Stefan.
And right now we're in the U.S., and today I will try some American candy.
I'm gonna introduce each piece of candy without Mr. German Man listening, without him on camera
so that when he tries it, he gets the full effect of the surprise without even really
knowing anything about the candy that he's trying.
Pixy Stix: as far as I remember from my childhood, I think these are basically just sticks filled
with flavored sugar.
Here are two little straws. - Okay, what should I do with them?
Um, you eat them...you can eat them one at a time, and you just rip them open and then
pour some in your mouth. - Like Brause. - Oh yeah that Ahoj Brause. Yeah. - Like Ahoj Brause.
But that's supposed to make a drink. I mean, technically, right? - Okay.
And this is not a drink.
Bottoms up! - Here it goes.
That's...amazing.
It's not Ahoj Brause because Ahoj Brause is, like, rough crystals.
This is like sand.
You put basically sand in your mouth.
I'm feeding Mr. German Man sand. - And then it's not, it's not, it's not fizzy,
but it gives off this, like, sour, nice taste. It's really good.
You're getting a lot out of it. I just thought this was flavored sugar. It's more than that? - Yeah.
Ring Pop! Oh, I loved Ring Pops as a kid.
This is like a lolly pop that you put on your finger as a ring, and this one is
blue raspberry watermelon flavor.
This is for you.
Aw, yes, I will marry you. - Aw, thank you.
And I think we had them in Germany - Aw. - in the 90s. - Ooh! It doesn't fit.
That's the most interesting flavor I've ever had in my life.
Yeah, I can see how kids might like that, but...
But it's still fun. - It's super fun. - It gets fun points, right? - It gets, it gets 9 out of 10 fun points.
Fun points. - And it gets, like, 5 out of 10 deliciousness points. - It still fits me!
Pop Rocks: little candies that kind of explode and tickle your tongue when you eat them.
I think Mr. German Man might have already had Pop Rocks before.
I think I introduced them to him before.
But these ones are cotton candy flavored and I'm pretty sure he hasn't had that.
We're cheating. I had them already.
I had them the first time I went to the U.S. - Oh, I thought you had them when we went to Legoland.
When we went to Legoland? - Yeah, I gave you the strawberry flavored Pop Rocks.
Oh, right. I, I think that was ice cream that was popping.
Yeah, in, right. The first time you went to the U.S., we had Dippin' Dots. - Dippin' Dots. - Yeah.
But then I know them. I think we have Pop Rocks in Germany.
You can even hear 'em.
Okay. - My turn.
(crackling)
I love it so much. Oh Stefan. I love it so much.
What happened? We had a, just a small pause to wash our hands after the Pop Rocks,
and Dana put the Pop Rocks from her hand in the sink.
And we had like wait 5 minutes because the sink was popping.
Watch out, Mr. German Man because this is an Atomic Fireball.
I have a present for you, Stefan.
Oh my gosh, I can smell it.
So these are Fireballs, and we grew up having, like, Fireball challenges to see how long
you could keep the Fireball in your mouth before spitting it out.
So you're doing really good.
You're doing really good with the Fireball. Okay, are you ready to spit it out now?
I'm ready to spit it out. - Okay, here you go.
Hey! You got most of the stuff off. You did pretty good. That's pretty good, Mr. German Man.
Nice job, Stefan. Look at that. It's disgusting.
Lindt chocolate bar. Wait, what? That's not American. How did that get in there?
Just kidding! Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Oh my God, anything with chocolate and peanut butter, yes!
I, ugh, chocolate and peanut butter...I love chocolate and peanut butter.
I am sure that Mr. German Man has had this before because I love chocolate and peanut butter.
Oh yeah, that's nice. Um, I know them. Since we are together, I love peanut butter.
Peanut butter has become, seriously, favorite taste whatsoever.
And chocolate, yeah? You've had a lot of peanut butter and chocolate. - Peanut butter and chocolate.
So you've already eaten this, so I'm just gonna eat it too, yeah? - Yeah.
This is not a new thing. - Okay.
So, it has like a biscuit, or what was it?
Um, no, I think it's just like sweet peanut butter.
Oh yeah, that is the peanut butter. - Uh-huh.
So it has, like, the peanut butter in the middle and chocolate on the outside. - Uh-huh.
And we will eat it completely now. On video. On camera.
Well, I'm actually planning to save mine for later. - No, I need it.
You need it? - Uh-huh.
The Tootsie Roll! A classic from my childhood. This is, like, chocolate meets candy.
So if you take chocolate and you take candy and you put those two ideas together then
I would say, you've got the Tootsie Roll.
Have you heard of it?
I've maybe heard of it in TV shows maybe - Okay. - as a reference or something.
Yeah, it's pretty well known. - Like pop culture. - Yeah.
I don't know what it smells like.
That's amazing. - Yeah? - So I kind of think that it's like people either love it or hate it.
That's how I think of the Tootsie Roll. - No, I love it
So you're a fan. - I really like it. - Awesome.
Extra Sour Cry Baby Bubble Gum.
And this is green, so I'm guessing this is green apple flavor.
And, yeah, as a kid I loved sour candies.
We'll see what Mr. German Man thinks of them.
This is the most natural color that exists on Earth.
Well it's the color of a lime. - I bet a million limes have died for this. - Ohh. - Let's try it.
Oh my God!
Oh my God! - It's a sour one. - Oh my God.
Okay, do you want to spit it out? - No. - No? - It's delicious.
Ah! - But it's so sour! - But you like it right? - Uh-huh. - It's like, it's sour but you like it. I know.
Bubble gum, so you have to chew it.
Whoa!
Okay. Whoa, I can smell it.
Oh my goodness, it's...so it's, I guess, is it green apple flavor? Sour green apple?
Yeah. - Blow again. Yeah, that's green apple. Oh my gosh.
It's delicious. I will keep it. - Okay. He's gonna keep it for later.
It's bubble gum. So you're supposed to chew it. - Uh-huh. There's no chance I will chew this.
These are Nerds, and they're a little sweet.
They're a little...not sour but, yeah it says on here tangy.
So yeah, they're a little sweet, a little tangy.
Teeny, teeny, tiny little candies.
Don't want to bend your hand off. - Yeah, do you see them?
So they're red and green.
They're hard. - Can you taste the two different flavors? Are they sour?
I don't remember them being sour.
Not as sour as the ball, but yeah sour. - Oh.
Cow Tales and Bull's Eye.
This is chewy caramel on the outside and then, I think you can see in this one, there's like,
this creamy center part.
Oh.
It's hard on the outside.
And there's something soft in the middle.
So I always thought, though, that these two things were the same.
But they look kind of different. So now try this one.
I mean, this is also caramel on the outside and...
I'm sorry! - It's Stefan trying American snacks. - I'm sorry! But I really wanted to try it.
Okay, okay.
Mh, I like that one.
Are they the same? - No.
The caramel is softer, and you actually taste what is in the middle.
I couldn't taste what was in the middle. - Okay, okay.
And there the caramel is, like, brittle. - Okay. - But this is, this is really good.
Okay, so this... - You want another bite? - No you can finish it.
Double Bubble: this is pink bubble gum flavored bubble gum.
America's original.
I think...I'm not sure, please let me know in the comments below, if we had that in Germany.
I can remember something.
There was a candy, but it was not thick as this. It was, like, thinner.
And I think the colors and the Double Bubble. - Okay.
Yeah, let me know in the comments below.
I just noticed your tongue is such a weird color now.
Whoa, and that has such a strong flavor too. Or a smell. - Uh-huh.
It is the same taste as the thing that I remember.
I think they threw them at Carnival, you know what I mean? - I can imagine that, yeah.
This is a Lemon Head.
So a, a lemon candy.
Yellow. - Yeah. - What could it be? - I would say lemon.
I think it tastes like dish soap.
So I guess you want to spit it out. - No. - No. So it's dish soap that you like.
Cotton candy flavored taffy.
That's dangerous. It doesn't say what it is. - Okay, I'll just tell you it's taffy. - No.
Do you know taffy? - No. - Okay, so you don't even know what it is, anyway. - Yeah.
But it's dangerous. It's...
And it's again in the most natural color there is. - Blue!
So with this blue color, - Yeah. - what flavor would you think would be blue?
Blue raspberry. - It is not blue raspberry.
There's another blue color flavor in the U.S.
The, the, the the...Blaubeeren in Germany. - Nope. Blueberry. Nope. - Blueberry. - It's not
blueberry flavored. It's something else.
Blue candies could be blue raspberry.
Okay, they sometimes could be blueberry.
But most of the time they're either blue raspberry or cotton candy flavored.
Cotton Candy. - Flavored. - I don't think we have that flavor in Germany.
Super soft. Super, super soft.
Taffy is the stuff that you see, um, them making where they pull it and then they pull
it and they pull it, and they do that over and over again.
I would describe it like this: if pulled pork is the softest meat you ever had, then this
is the softest candy that you ever had.
Super Sour Spray candy.
I really loved sour stuff so much as a kid that I would spray this sour candy right on
my tongue.
I'm really curious to see what Mr. German Man makes of this one.
What do I have to do? - It's a spray. - Spray? - Yes. You spray it on your tongue.
Don't worry, I did actually eat these kinds of things as a kid. - The last moments
of Mr. German Man on camera.
A spray? - It's a spray. You spray it on your tongue. Go ahead. - I'm kind of scared.
Okay, you have to pump first.
Let me try.
That is super sour, but it's... - You missed my mouth! - I'm sorry. - It's okay.
But it's not as sour as the gum.
Because this just is a second there - Yeah. - on your tongue.
It's not like the gum. - But it is pretty sour still. - It is pretty sour.
So our question for you is: Do you have these candies or something similar to them wherever you live?
And have you ever tried these candies?

We really hope that you enjoyed this video, and we also hope that you'll enjoy the bloopers
that are coming up next. We definitely have bloopers. - Definitely a lot of bloopers.
Until next time, auf Wiedersehen!
It's not really raspberry, and it's not really watermelon. It's like... - Blue raspberry watermelon!
Caramel on the outside and then like a creamy center part. That make any sense?
They're dancing on your tongue, yeah? - They're super nice.
Cleansing my pallet with some cold coffee. - Yeah.
