- This actually, this is a great representation of the
snacking habits of Americans versus the rest of the world.
- U.S.A
(Greek music)
- Hi I'm Rachel, I'm from America.
- Hi I'm Yiannis, I am Greek Cypriot.
- Hi everyone, my name is Korrina and I'm from
Athens, Greece.
- I'm Brendan and I am from the US of A
and today we are going to be
swapping snacks - swapping snacks!
- I'm excited to try the American snacks to be honest.
I'm kinda curious to see like what you guys grew up on
and kinda try that.
- How about you? - Uh.
- Have you had any Greek snacks?
- I mean I've had Greek food, well I don't know
is like, is Greek food and just like "Mediterranean food"
kinda the same thing?
- Mediterranean food is Greek food.
- Yeah okay, great.
- Alright, are you ready to try some snacks?
- Been ready.
(Greek music)
- I am so excited!
- Oh my god, I am so excited.
- Yay, Fudge Stripes! - I know exactly what this is.
- See that I've never seen before,
- Yemista. - These,
- Oh, okay that sounds a lot cooler than Fudge Stripes.
- I'm already excited about that.
- I am so proud of us right now
(laughs)
this is a great choice!
This is gonna kick your butt, well no it's not.
- They're very simple, it's just like a little,
I think it's like a butter cookie kinda thing,
but it's got the chocolate on the the bottom
with the aforementioned fudge stripes on top.
- So this Yemista.
You wanna try to, Yemista.
- Yemista.
- Which means stuffed.
- I'm sad that I have to give these away to you.
- Alright ready?
One, two, three, bam.
- Ooh, - oh it's some rolls.
- This is a big pack.
- Yeah, you do have to - eat the whole thing?
- You do have to eat the whole package, yeah.
(moans)
- Okay, well we're a little late on the cheers, but cheers.
- Cheers!
- I'm loving this.
- You like it?
- Cause I love biscuit and I love chocolate.
- Yeah.
- So, this taste perfect.
- The main difference for me for versus like an Oreo,
is that the flavoring of the acutal cookie part is a lot
more kind of like subtle and nice, it's not just like
overwhelmingly sweet. - Not too sweet.
- The flavor is not so aggressive, this would be great
in coffee.
- I'm gonna eat another one.
These are, these are great. - I'm just gonna take
- Okay you don't, lets, listen I only have like
five of these cause they're not American,
you have 600 of those.
Here, you know what, you can have one.
- Oh.
(squeals)
- I think I like these more
because
this is very chocolatey and you can still feel the
chocolate in the biscuit part.
- Yeah.
This, you get a cup of both worlds.
- Of these two, which do you prefer?
- ♪ Ta da ♪
- These are an absolute American classic,
I prefer these.
(gasps)
- Yes!
- These are great.
- I think I'd pick the Fudge Stripes.
- Yeah?
- I've always liked this cookie, like it's just not
that aggressive - yes.
- or anything like that, and this one is
totally wonderful, like I actually love both of them.
- Uh huh.
(upbeat music)
- I don't like sour cream, I don't eat sour cream
on anything, but I love sour cream and onion chips,
that's how good these chips are.
- Well, let me tell you.
These are way better.
- Wow okay.
- Because
it's with oregano.
- Oh, I love, I put oregano in everything.
- It smells interesting - It smells Greek like
Greece.
- That's what Greece smells like?
- It's everywhere, it's oregano everywhere,
it's like sprinks
(psh psh)
- Do we have to swap?
- Yes we have to swap.
(laughs)
Take my dumb chips.
(laughs)
(chews loudly)
- These are so interesting, wow.
- You like them?
- Yeah.
- Oh my god, I'm gonna eat the whole bag.
- It's like they're trying to be those.
- They are very similar.
Let me, let me get a hit of these real quick.
I gotta compare.
(eating loudly)
- It's really, really interesting.
I love it a lot.
- I love the onion in here.
- Yeah.
- Adds that boost.
- I'm just gonna be honest, I prefer the
sour cream and onion.
- These.
- Tsakiris chips.
- Okay.
I don't, I don't think there's a wrong answer here.
- Do they have any of these with ridges?
- That's a good questions, yeah, they do.
Uh but no - You didn't even think
about that - no, well
(laugh)
- You were like she'll never find out
(laughs)
so I'm just gonna say yeah.
(upbeat music)
- Oh!
I was hoping you would bring these!
Oh my god.
So these are mini croissants as it says on the package.
- These are mini croissants - Oh my, yes.
- with cream filling?
I've been living in a world in which I did not know
that mini stuffed croissants were available,
by the bag.
- We would have these when we were young at school,
like these were our snacks.
They have them in chocolate flavor
and they have vanilla flavor - mini croissants
- Now I gotta eat this dumb cupcake too, oh no wait!
You have to eat
- the dumb cupcake. - Wait wait.
I get these!
- You gotta smell it as well.
- I'm gonna, smell it.
Oh my god.
Smell it.
(sniffs)
- Ah, I can feel
- It smells like happiness and joy.
- Ready? - Yeah.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
- (beep) off, this is great.
- You like that?
- Yeah I like the combo.
- Also that has a
- And it's so soft.
- It has a lot more filling inside.
- It's so squishy.
- Dude there's cream in the middle
and it's not overwhelming at all.
- Yeah?
Sometimes I would get annoyed when I was young
when one of the croissants didn't have enough filling it it
- Yep, doesn't have enough.
- I'm like where's the filling.
- Yeah we don't have that problem in America.
- These are very good, I do wish that the filling was
like a little more present.
- Here's the thing, I think I would only be
able to have two of these.
- Oh yeah.
- And maybe the whole bag of those.
- This is dangerous
- Uh huh.
- Like I'm nervous that I've tried these, cause now
I can't go back, I can't untaste how good this is.
- Nope.
- I mean those are great.
For me, this is, this is the winner.
- Out of the two,
these all day.
- Seven days a week.
(upbeat music)
- Kool-Aid Jammers!
- I have never had this,
and always wanted to.
- When you're a kid, you either had Kool-Aid Jammers
or you were a loser.
So I've never had a Kool-Aid Jammer in my life.
These pouch drinks are fun because they're the only
single serve drink that comes with an obstacle course,
and that is you have to put your little javelin
through this hole and try not to puncture the back,
which will happen about 40% of the time.
- [Rachel] If he gets this on the first time,
I'm gonna be really embarrassed.
- Oh!
Got it.
- Here we go.
(cheerful music)
(squeals) - Expertly Done.
- Expertly done - I did it.
Good job, high five.
(high fives)
(music)
(disgusted)
- Nothing?
- Nope.
- Wait, not even like
- No.
- Ooh, this is too sweet.
- It's Kool-Aid.
- Yeah, but it's like I'm literally drinking sugar.
- Yeah.
- This is like a, a thing that you guys love?
- Yeah.
- Oh my god.
- I, I would (beep) this up.
This is great.
- That is my favorite
- This is very good - every time I got to Greece,
I down that.
- Then it sure is a shame that you don't
have any Korrina.
- Oh, I'll just take that
- Interesting.
- Home.
Thank you.
- Let me try it, the Kool-Aid again.
(upbeat music)
- No.
(laughs)
This.
- I don't even need to hit that one again, this one.
- No forget, no comparison.
- This is.
- Do you feel disappointed that I didn't like it, like
- If you were eight, you would've fricking
loved this.
(laughs)
- I'm very impressed by Greek snacks.
I feel like the Greek snacks were a little more creative,
I feel like instead of just like a cupcake,
it was like a mini croissant
with cream filling, like in a bag.
Why don't we have those all over the place here?
- My favorite American one was definitely the Fudge Stripes
at the beginning.
- I like the Hostess snack.
- Okay.
- I love the chocolate part, but I felt like the filling
was a little too much.
- These snacks would definitely make me wanna visit Greece.
- That's good, I'm happy.
- Yeah.
- That was my goal today, to make you wanna visit Greece.
- I would go to Greece in a heartbeat.
I would probably come back weighing significantly more
than I currently weigh.
- Great, I'll show around.
- Yay.
- Let's go.
