- Ooh.
- Ugh!
- Oh!
- Oh wow.
(gasping)
- Hmm!
Mmm.
(laughing)
- Hey, I'm Sohan from Australia.
- I'm Amelia from New Zealand.
- And today, we are swapping chocolates
to see which is better.
- I suspect that the New Zealand chocolate is gonna be
creamier, especially Whittaker's,
if we're having Whittaker's.
- Ooh!
- There's nothing that can beat that.
- So you think that yours is gonna be better.
Is that what you're saying?
- Yeah.
- Clinkers.
I've never had these before.
(laughing)
Colorful candy centers.
- Are there flavors? - No artificial colors.
Really?
- These are the classic Kiwi quintessential chocolates.
- Okay. - So good thing
we're starting with them.
- Let's swap.
- You would find these in sort of
every grandma's pantry. - Ah, that's cute.
- Doesn't sound very appealing.
Like, pineapple lumps?
- They are delicious.
- Here you go.
Ooh!
That's chewy!
It's like chewing gum.
- I'm confused.
I didn't like it at first,
but then the chocolate kinda takes over.
- Mm-hmm.
- This is what it looks like in the middle,
it's like stretchy, foamy, like marshmallow-y stuff.
- It's like pineapple,
like immediate hit of pineapple lolly.
- Tangy. - Mm.
- A little bit tangy.
- And then you get the chocolate.
I'm not a fan. - I know we're
eating lots of chocolate today,
but I'm gonna keep eating it, 'cause I love that.
- Definitely rate that.
Okay, so these are an awesome Australian chocolate,
they're called clinkers.
The texture is like chalk, but in a delicious way.
So what you do is you get a clinker,
and before you bite into it, you have to guess
what flavor or what color you're about to get.
- Oh my god, I hope I get a pink one.
If I get a yellow one, I'm gonna be mad.
- My instinct is telling me green.
What are you? - I reckon I've got pink.
That's the best one.
Mm! (laughing) (dinging)
I won!
- Oh, it's hard!
- Ow!
Oh.
Oh my god, you got a pink one, I got a yellow one.
I'm pissed.
Ow.
Ow!
- Listen to this.
Samaya Samoa for you there.
- I don't know about that, look,
it's way harder than I expected.
- Ow! - It also doesn't
taste like much.
- Like chalk, but good.
- I really like that.
- Mm. - Yep.
- Mm-mm. - Mm-mm.
What is that?
- Bin.
- I reckon pineapple lumps win this round.
These are a new favorite thing of mine.
Like, I'm gonna go out and buy these after this.
- I choose this and suck the chocolate off that.
(laughing)
- I'm gonna go with these ones.
- You keep them, I'll keep these.
Thank you! - Yep.
- The hell is this?
I've never seen this before?
Where is this Aussie chocolate?
- [Producer] But you know Haigh's, right?
- No.
- [Producer] Oh.
(laughing) Okay.
Okay.
- This is some Haigh's chocolate, very beautiful,
very fancy, bougie stuff.
- And this is L and P Whittaker's mini slabs.
- Okay, this is actually L and P flavor.
So this is flavored after a drink,
it's actually a soft drink.
- Oh my god.
- Lemon and pao, peroa?
How do you say that? - Lemon and paeroa.
I don't know what the ingredient paeroa is.
- Okay, is it native to New Zealand though?
- Yes. - Yeah, okay.
- All I know is it's a place.
- It takes like the town, it's delicious.
- It tastes like the town?
What does the town taste like? - Lemon and paeroa.
That's the name of the drink. - What is that?
What is that? (laughing)
- Maybe it's the water, I dunno.
- The water?
- But, it's got a surprise in it,
when you eat it. - Oh my god.
Oh my god. - It's gonna be fun.
- Oh wow, it's like a party in my mouth.
- Oh my god, it's popping!
(laughing) Oh my god, it's popping!
- Again, this is one of those,
you can hear what's going on here.
- Yeah. (laughing)
I'm not into that.
- Okay. - The mouth eating ones.
- Oh my god, this is so good!
It tastes like Christmas and lemon.
- I dunno how I feel about it.
- I've never tasted anything like it!
- Very citrusy, very different.
- Oh my god, I'm shook, I'm shook.
- They had the concept right, but maybe it was too much.
I don't think I liked this one that well.
- I think I agree with you.
This particular paeroa doesn't do it for me.
(buzzing)
- Australia.
- All right. - Hell, hell we gonna-
- How do you say, is it Hias, Haigh's?
- Hias, Haigh's? - Haigh's.
- [Producer] Haigh's. - Haigh's.
- Mm. - Mm, mm.
- That's good chocolate.
- Mm. - I feel like it's very safe.
Like they didn't experiment as much as the L and P one.
- It kinda tastes like a strawberry cheesecake milkshake.
- Oh, what are you going with?
- Think I'm gonna go with, yeah.
- I'll probably go with that. - Haigh's wins this one.
Yeah.
- Oh, mm.
- Kiwi. - Yeah.
- There is nothing like this in the world.
Like, I would pay $2 - Put an order in.
- for one of these, like just one.
- For that? - Yeah.
- Curly Wurly.
- Perky Nana, this is so cute.
Seriously. - Yeah, these are iconic.
- Perky Nanna or Nana?
- I think everyone says Perky Nana.
I've never heard someone say Perky Nanna.
(laughing)
Unless Nanna's perky.
(dinging)
- So this is a banana flavored, like a marshmallow, I guess.
- Banana?
Swap.
Oh, it's squishy. - I've never had
- Is it meant to be - A Curly Wurly.
- this squishy, or is this melted?
- It's pretty squishy.
- I remember these being
a tougher texture than the pineapple ones,
if I remember correctly. - Oh okay.
- They're more sticky and chewy.
- What?
- Would you give that to a small child in the car?
- No, I'd give them a banana,
and then I'd give them a chocolate.
- Wow.
- Look, it's very soft and chewy, and very stretchy.
- Oh, what do you mean?
You just take a bit?
- Sure. - Oh my god.
- Oh wow!
I was expecting it to taste like,
you know those banana lollies?
But it actually tastes like a real banana.
- I feel like this one might be a little worse for wear.
- Mm.
- Oh!
I forgot how good these were.
- No, that shouldn't exist.
(laughing)
- Ugh!
(laughing)
- Fruity chocolate.
- You can keep that.
- Okay, this is awesome, it's called a Curly Wurly.
It's caramel and chocolate,
the caramel's been curled and wurled.
- Yeah it's caramel. - It's like caramel,
it's kinda like this, but in the middle, it's like,
there's more chocolate ratio,
and there's caramel in the middle.
- It's a shape. - A shape!
I mean, that's kind of fancy.
- It's healthier, because there's holes in it.
- Mm.
Mm-hmm.
I'm being taken back to my childhood now.
How good is the caramel flavor?
- Yeah.
- So far, that's my number one.
- Mm-hmm. - That is so good.
- Mm-hmm.
- I feel like I could eat that whole thing
in about 10 minutes.
- How, it's so chewy.
- I would say Curly Wurly.
- I'm gonna say Perky Nana's this time.
I just got such a buzz from reliving this.
- The winner's gotta be Curly Wurly, like hands down.
- No word of a lie. - What is that?
- Sorry New Zealand. - Hundo percent-o.
- So I have for you here some dark chocolate with cardamom.
It's a Haigh's chocolate.
- Oh. - Well you know this is bougy,
'cause it's dark chocolate and cardamom, like,
two of the worst things on the planet.
- Cardamom?
Yum!
I'm quite excited about this. - Quite excited.
I'm excited about that, another Whittaker's
New Zealand specialty.
- So this is pear and manuka honey.
Mmm. - Okay, I wanna try this ASAP.
- Oh! - I have to say,
the packaging. - The packaging!
It's beautiful! (laughing)
- I'm sensing a really funny thematic
through all the chocolates that we're getting.
- Yeah.
- It's things that you've never seen in chocolate before,
they all exist in New Zealand.
- Got a nice little pattern on the front.
- I'm really getting the pear note.
Not much of the honey.
- Mm. - Hmm.
- It's okay, it's a bit like, funky.
- I see what you're trying to do.
I feel like if I was 50, I would like it.
- Yeah, I liked it at first,
and then the pear started swirling around.
- Mm. - And sort of took over
my whole mouth.
- I feel like this is definitely
the kinda thing you would eat if you're 55 years old,
you've eaten chocolate your whole life,
you're bored of it, you wanna try something new.
(laughing)
- It's just gonna be some bougy chocolate that
has some spice in it.
- Oh, I can smell it.
- Oh, it smells like cardamom and dark chocolate.
- Yeah, it's quite powerful.
(gasping) (laughing)
- Oh my gosh.
- Wow.
- It definitely dances.
- Mm. - Mm, mm.
(upbeat music)
(laughing)
- That hit us both at the same time.
- Yeah.
It was like dark chocolate and a hint of cardamom,
and you're like, ooh!
And then the cardamom - Chocolate and
- just goes, - chocolate cardamom.
Blah!
And then you're like ah!
- A little bit too much for me.
Maybe like one little square
a fortnight. - Yeah.
I like it, I actually rate it.
- Cardamom's-- - I would get this again.
- Again, I feel like this is like a 65 year old's chocolate.
- This one, the Australian.
- This one, the New Zealand one.
- Maybe that, 'cause it's dark.
- Mm, I'm gonna go with this.
New Zealand wins for me.
I feel like I prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate.
- I feel like we're quite divided.
- Yeah.
- I love those! - Yes!
- I already know what those are and I love them!
Milk roasted macadamias?
Oh! - Whittaker's peanut slabs.
- They're really good, I will just say that.
- Yeah, you're really selling it to me,
I really wanna try it. - Yeah.
- Yeah. - Yep.
- I have very high expectations.
- Yes, get in my belly!
- I'm gonna eat it all. - Oh my god.
Mm, mm, mm.
- That is sweet and creamy. - Mm-hmm.
- Got like the peanut all through it.
- That is delicious to me.
- Yeah, I love it. - That's the best so far.
- I love it. - Mm.
- I love it, I love it.
- And now you can finally taste the true
Whittaker's creamy essence.
- Go New Zealand.
- Shall we go with these?
They're chocolate coated macadamias.
- Yes. - The superior peanut.
- Oh wow.
(laughing)
Oh wow. - Mm.
- Oh yeah.
- [Producer] You can hear that crunch.
- Mm, mm!
(laughing)
Those are really good!
- I thought there was no way
that something would compare to that.
That is absolute bliss.
- I feel like this one's, again, it's stronger,
I feel like you could just inhale a packet of those
quite easily.
- Yeah, I agree.
- I think-- - I'd probably go peanut slab.
- I think I would too, because this is actually very rich.
- It is, you can only have one.
Like I'm done. - Mm.
But I could eat about five of those.
- I'm also getting over chocolate now.
I'm like, oh god.
Ahh!
Yay!
Tiny Teddies!
Are these the half coated in milk?
These are the best.
- And these are the original chocolate chunk rookie cookies,
cookie time cookies.
- Wow, it's like cookie monster but red
- Yeah. - on a packet.
- I wanna put it in the microwave for you.
- Oh! - We would microwave these
in the school canteen for like a second,
and they go a little melty. - A second.
- I can hold it close to the lights.
- Yeah.
- I don't think they're that soft.
- No, they're not soft.
- Yeah, you sounded disappointed. (laughing)
- Mm, I can see how if you warmed this up.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's not sweet, it's sort of like bread.
(laughing)
- It's delicious. - Mm-hmm.
- Delicious.
- I had very high expectations.
I was let down.
- Okay.
- But, - Wow.
- We can save the day with Tiny Teddies,
they're pretty good. (laughing)
- My mum wouldn't let me have these growing up.
- Me either!
So now I eat them as an adult.
- This is what I did when I was younger,
in primary school I used to get a pack,
and I used to take the Tiny Teddy out,
and like eat the ear, and then eat the head,
and eat the arms and legs all individually.
- Okay. (laughing)
- I don't know why. - Wow.
- Oh, yes, they're so good! - Look at his little legs.
- Look at how cute they are!
Look!
And then the chocolate side.
- Yeah.
- He's still doing it.
- I just bit the ears off, and then, we'll go
- Yeah. - to the feet.
But they're so crispy and just munchable,
and you can just be like, yum yum yum yum yum.
It's just really, really good, I love them.
- Yeah, I like them too.
- Mm. - Mm.
- I'm gonna pick tiny teddy. - Mm-hmm.
I am too.
- Like, this is really good,
but nothing can beat a Tiny Teddy.
I'm really surprised with New Zealand chocolate,
I thought that you were gonna be like,
same as Australian but like taste a little funky,
but you've actually blown me away.
- Yeah, I think the things that surprised me
were the flavor combinations for New Zealand chocolate.
It's definitely things that we don't see over here,
or you wouldn't have typically thought of.
- I think New Zealand chocolate,
like the chocolate itself is so good,
I think they could hold back a little bit on the fruit.
- You're trying to like, you're eating chocolates,
so you're not trying to eat fruit
when you're eating chocolate,
you know? - No one wants a salad.
- Some of them work, some of them don't.
Pineapple ones definitely do. - Mm.
- Perky Nana, yeah, I'm back, I'm back with you Perky Nana.
- [Producer] Would you do this video again?
- Not right now, I am crashing hard,
like the lights are hurting my eyes,
I'm getting a headache, I feel like I'm in a dream.
Maybe next week I'll do it again.
(laughing)
