- Oh my God! I can't eat this.
- This is weird, but I'm gonna just eat it,
'cause YOLO, you only live once.
♪ (ambient arcade intro) ♪
- (FBE) We have brought you in today to try
some Trader Joe's snacks.
- I love Trader Joe's!
- Okay, let's get started.
♪ (accordion music) ♪
- (FBE) Here is your first snack.
- Bum bum, bum bum! Ba dum!
- Smells good. Kinda granola.
- Pumpkin spice granola? (screams)
- This is really good!
I don't know, like, Christmasy, like cozy stuff.
- Mm-hmm.
It's so crispy and crunchy.
- I like it.
- It kinda tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch,
but with a little less cinnamon and crunch.
- Tastes like fall in a single bite.
- (FBE) This is Ginger Turmeric Granola,
this granola is made with rolled oats, brown rice crisps,
and candied ginger, and can be eaten by hand,
or in a bowl of milk with a spoon.
- I knew it tasted a little spicy.
- I love it.
- If you would've told me this was like ginger and turmeric
in the beginning, I would've never
like even thought to buy this at Trader Joe's.
But it tastes like pumpkin spice, and it's really good.
♪ (accordion music) ♪
- Seaweed?
I thought there was gonna be seaweed in this.
- Oh, I love seaweed! Yes!
- Ugh!
Oh my God.
I kinda smells like a soy sauce or something?
- I love seaweed so much, it's so good!
- I love seaweed.
- (laughs) I don't like it.
Well, it does taste like sushi, I kinda like sushi though.
- Oh my God.
Pretty good. Better than I was expecting, actually.
- It's kind of like cotton candy when you bite in it
and it just like almost dissolves in your mouth.
- The flavor is amazing. What flavor is this?
- This isn't like regular seaweed,
it has a little flavor to it.
Like almost like a teriyaki flavor?
- (FBE) This is actually teriyaki flavored seaweed.
- Oh, this is better than teriyaki chicken.
(laughs) I'm sorry, it was just so yummy.
♪ (accordion music) ♪
- What's this?
- Is that colorful cheese?
It looks like somebody painted it!
- It kind of looks like a cheese.
- Ugh! (whimpers) I really don't wanna try this.
I don't, ugh!
- I can taste it with Pepper Jack mixed with all the flavors.
It's really good, actually.
- Oh my. Oh God!
The taste was kind of like soy sauce,
but then at the end, it was like mustard taste.
And like... (squeaks)
- It's not that bad.
I feel like it has jalapeno in it somewhere.
- I don't like it.
- When you first take a bite of it,
it tastes like you're eating like a freshly picked carrot.
Like, it doesn't taste bad. It's just kinda weird.
Like what kind of cheese tastes like plants?
- (FBE) This is tricolor spicy kaas cheese.
From the Netherlands, it's actually made up
of three different flavors, goat cheese,
green bell pepper flavored cheese, and a spicy chili pepper cheese.
- No wonder I didn't like it.
(laughs) I hate cheese.
- It's not extremely spicy, but I could definitely taste
a little bit of a kick in there.
- I don't really think this cheese
should be in the market for young kids.
Even though I'll just take another bite.
Just to be sure.
♪ (accordion music) ♪
- Ooh yay!
- Crackers and what is this?
- Okay, crackers and hummus, question mark?
- Kinda smells like parsley, I think?
Pretty sure it's hummus, it might be some mix or something.
- Hey, this is pickle, pickle, pickle, pickle stuff.
I think I'd like this!
- Ah!
Oh, okay, oh, okay.
I'm pretty sure it's hummus, but there's something in it.
I'm looking, I'm trying to like search,
I feel like I'm gonna find like buried treasure.
Like, I'm looking for something when there's not.
- I don't like it.
I think it's better than the cheese, but...
I don't like it.
- Hmm, okay.
Kind of a salty taste.
- So at the start, it tastes the same,
and then at the end, kind of the sweet, lemony one,
and then it's really good.
- (FBE) If you could taste some vinegar,
and maybe a little bit of dill,
that's because this is dill pickle hummus.
- Oh!
- I know my pickles. The pickled beans,
the pickled carrots, the pickled, what other pickled stuff?
Pickled onions, pickled corn.
I know my pickles when I taste 'em.
♪ (accordion music) ♪
- Ba dum, ba dum!
Hmm, what in the heck?
- Is that?
It's a burger!
- Is this shrimp? I love shrimp.
- I feel like I'm actually gonna like this,
but I'm just afraid because it's something new,
and yeah, okay. It's like a shrimp burger.
It's shrimp, but a burger.
This is weird, but I'm gonna just eat it.
'Cause YOLO, you only live once.
- I just quit my vegan diet, so this is great.
Yes! - Oh my God!
I can't eat this! Bleh, okay.
Okay.
I ate a big bite.
It tastes good, but it's too big for me.
- I love it!
- Oh my gosh. That is so good!
Mmm! 'Cause it looks like a burger,
but then just like fish just got like stuck in it,
and it just couldn't get out.
Ooh, it all just mixes together beautifully.
I'm gonna have another bite!
- (FBE) This is actually a shrimp burger.
It can be baked, grilled, or pan fried.
Or for a healthier option, even put on a salad.
- Hmm, that's a shocker, 'cause I love shrimp.
I can kind of taste it now.
It's like combined, warmed up shrimp.
- It was my favorite one.
- I love seafood a lot. It's really good.
My dad, he like goes fishing for tuna a lot,
so I've had a lot of tuna burgers,
like ahi tuna, in a burger.
It's not that different had it for dinner multiple times.
♪ (accordion music) ♪
- Please be sweet, please be sweet!
Let me get my little knife to tear it apart.
Veggie checker.
I don't like certain veggies.
- What is this?
- Is this just like a triangle egg roll?
- It looks like a square shaped, I mean a triangle shaped burrito.
- Oh, are these samosas?
Ah, these are definitely one of my favorite Trader...
I think we have these at my house right now.
These are super good.
- Nothing too different coming to me.
I'm a little scared,
'cause I can't see what's inside, but...
Oh!
- Hmm, woops, it's very hard to chew.
It's soft, but a little crispy, so you gotta watch out.
- Is there pumpkin in this? Ah!
It's not like my favorite ever, but I'm like,
I'll go in for a second bite.
Mmm! Okay.
- (FBE) Trader Joe's makes a variety of seasonal goodies,
especially around fall
In an effort to put pumpkin flavor into just about everything,
they created these pumpkin samosas.
- Very cool, I mean, I'm gonna go have to
go to Trader Joe's next time and grab these pumpkin samosas.
- Pumpkin samosas?
That's pretty weird.
- I've never had a samosa before,
so this is really new, actually.
- (FBE) Usually they're filled with like vegetables.
- No vegetables filled! I got it easy, woo, woo!
Can I get an amen? Amen!
- (FBE) How does this one compare to all the other snacks
that you've had today?
- 4 out of 5,
but for the shrimp burger, 5 out of 5.
- Very good, I've had Trader Joe's, their butternut squash pasta,
which is seasonal for fall, and it's very good.
And it's giving me kinda this vibe too.
Mmm!
- (FBE) Jayden, you've now made it through six Trader Joe's snacks.
Which one would you recommend someone else to try?
- Shrimp burger!
- Next time we go to Trader Joe's for groceries,
I'm gonna definitely grab some pumpkin samosas.
- I would recommend the first one.
- I'm gonna have to go with the burger.
It tasted like a regular burger, but really good!
I'm pleasantly surprised.
- I would recommend the pickled hummus.
I give that pickled hummus a 10 out of 10, 100 out of 100.
