How's it going guys? I am Matthias.
And I am an American,
if you didn't know,
you probably did know,
because of this,
(cue terrible Southern accent) thick, Southern accent that I have.
But today I'm gonna be trying some British candy/foods/pastries/whatever
they have there I don't know, we're gonna try it.
And I wanna thank Lindsey (hopefully that's how you spell your name I'm sorry ;^;)
because Lindsey sent Amanda and I
a big freaking box of British foods, candies, and sweets.
It is enormous and huge.
This video is inspired by Alfie Deyes
because he was a British vlogger trying American candies,
so let's turn it on it's head.
Let's get started.
So I'm gonna start with the "Kinder Surprise,"
Usually Americans only have eggs near Easter time.
Oh, it's just chocolate!
*shakes* *rattling can be heard on the inside*
There's something inside it.
Is it like a prize?!
*sniffs*
Smells okay.
I'm gonna bite it and try and get a piece of whatever's inside of it.
*laughs* Okay?
Maybe it's a toy. I hope it's not a toy.
*muffled* It's a toy!
Why're you putting toys in food?!
*opening it up* What is this?
(confused Matthias is confused) Wha? I got a chore in here??? *laughs*
Do I gotta, like, build something?
Oh wait, there's instructions in here.
Okay.
Basically I'm supposed to build a little ball.
*builds* *fails*
I'm gonna get comments saying, (says in a mockingly voice) "Do it, dude, a two year old could do this."
But whatever, two year old's are smarter than me.
But hey, this is not bad chocolate.
The next thing is "Irn Bru(actually pronounced iron brew)" or "Irn Barr(Barr being the company that makes the drink) Bru."
"Sparkling flavored soft drinks."
"Serve cool."
Whoops.
I didn't cool mine.
Here goes nothin'.
Ooh, this is, there's a lot of energy build up in here.
(Matthias intensifies)
Oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.
*sniffs*
It kinda smells orange-y.
It smells like, orange soda.
It's probably just orange soda, right?
It's like...
Orange soda if orange soda were supposed to taste like medicine.
(*realization occurs*)
It tastes like Dayquil!
It tastes exactly like Dayquil!
If you guys like this, over there in Britain,
and London, and all those places,
then you, you guys oughta try Dayquil,
because you guys can have that and it'll get you hopped up too!
Next is "Fox's Party Rings!"
"No artificial flavors, suitable for vegetarians."
Oh! Well I'm not a vegetarian, but,
that means nothing to me.
In America, ingredients, well they're just chemicals it's not actual food.
Oh okay. So there, there are all different colors here they look like mini donuts.
Ooh~ Fancy. They have, like, textures on both sides!
Attention to detail, I dig it.
I'm gonna try... the hot pink one.
Cause it looks like it has the most flavor.
Matthias: She's just too excited she saw this. Ready? Amanda: *gasps* I saw the pink one.
Matthias: Ready? 3, 2- Amanda: Cheers. Matthias: Cheers. Amanda: Gotta cheers it.
Matthias: Woah, that makes a weird sound, listen.
Matthias: Ssssh.
*hits it together making a clicking noise*
Matthias: I guess it just sounds like a cookie. *laughs*
*both bite into it* *muffled* Matthias and Amanda: Oh, it's harder than I thought!
Amanda: I thought it was gonna be soft.
Amanda: I don't know why.
Matthias: Well put it back if you don't want it.
Amanda: *puts the whole thing in her mouth* *walks away* Matthias: *laughs*
Presentation, taste, shock value, it's got it all!
Next on the agenda, "Bassetts Jelly Babi-." Babies?!
Jelly babies?
"Natural, colors and flavors."
What kind of flavor is baby?
It says the flavors are:
"Brilliant Baby,"
"Boofuls,"
"Bumper,"
"Baby Bonnie,"
"... Big Heart,"
and "Bubbles."
Should I get Boofuls or Big Heart?
I'm a cannibal(you do realise they're not actual babies, right) so let's go with Big Heart.
Awwww, it's tr- oh wait, what is it?
It looks like a baby with it's heart coming out of it's chest.
*investigates packaging to make sure he's not going insane*
What the h***...?
Okay...
Oh, that was unexpected.
It's like, hard on the outside, but then it's like, chewy.
*investigates one more time*
No.
It's tastes like, cheep candies that you get if a relative didn't know you,
and was like, trying to give you something for Christmas,
and got it at the dollar store.
(in an old lady voice) "Any kid likes candy, here you go."
This next one is called, "Fry's Turkish Delight."
I feel like I've heard of a "Turkish Delight."
I have no idea what it is, it doesn't say anything on it, "Turkish delight wrapped in delicious milk chocolate."
It's heavy.
What? It looks like, it's like, gelatin on the side.
Here we go.
*laughs* It's so weird!
I can't even describe it!
It's like a really soft gelatin covered in chocolate,
but, the gelatin is like, not really flavored.
It's just kind of like, gelatin covered in chocolate.
*laughs* It's just like, "Hey... I'm here."
"Cover me in chocolate."
"Multi Millions - The Tiny Tasty Chewy Sweets."
"Seven packs inside."
So they got, "Apple,"
"Bubblegum,"
"Blackcurrant Buzz,"
"Cola,"
and "Apple." (Again?)
(offscreen) Amanda: Try the Bubblegum.
Matthias: No, I'm not gonna try Bubblegum. Amanda: Yeah.
Amanda's making me try the Bubblegum,
but after that I'm trying Cola.
*bites*
It's hard... And chewy.
(Matthias intensifies again)
They're like chewy Nerds.
*coughs/chokes*
We're gonna try... We're gonna try the Cola one.
Blackcurrant Buzz, we'll try this one now.
I know there's some in here that I've gotta like.
Yeah, see that's good.
*adjusts glasses*
It's got a hard exterior,
over a really, really chewy,
*thinks*
interior.
Okay, so the very last thing that we are trying is "Mr. Kipling."
"Six Cherry Bakewells."
I don't know what a Bakewell is.
"With plum and raspberry jam topped with a half a cherry."
Woah...
They're like some kind of like, little danish, like, cup of, tart."
*laughs* I am so good with my adjectives.
It's like a little mini pie.
It doesn't say "bite-sized."
*laughs* That's the American in me. Just wanting to eat it in one bite. *laughs again*
*muffled* That's pretty good.
It takes just like those cheep intimate things in the corner of the isle.
*cleaning mouth* Little paste-y.
(Matthias really likes to intensify)
Can't get it off my tongue.
Alright guys if you want to send Amanda and I fan mail for us to potentially try on camera,
send it to the address down in the description below.
Big thanks to Lindsey for sending all this stuff.
If you guys want to see a Part 2,
because honestly, I have so much more British
... food here,
that I might be willing to try on camera if you persuade me by liking this video.
I would love to know down in the comments below,
"What is your favorite candy and where is it from?"
So I'll see you in the next video.
*eats more candy* High five. *high fives*
