- I was a big hot Cheetos fan, Starburst--
- Stardust? - Starburst!
- Stardust! (David laughs) - Starburst!
- Starburst! - Starburst!
Oh my goodness.
(upbeat electronic music)
- Today we're swapping American and German snacks.
- The TV and snacks were my best friends.
- I was pretty much the kid
that never used his lunch money at school,
and then just ran to the gas station, bought up everything,
then go home and watch cartoons.
- So what American snacks have you tried?
- I haven't had an Oreo before I came to the states (laughs)
I know, I know, I know!
- But you've had an Oreo?
- I had an Oreo, yes!
- I'm a big chips fan, I like chips sometimes.
We basically had the world championship in Germany in 2006,
and we ate a lot of these chips that we call Chipsfrisch.
So what are you guys eating
when you watch American football?
- Lays, Ruffles, and like bean dip.
- So you ready to try American snacks?
- Absolutely, yes!
- All right, let's do this!
- So these are Ruffles.
It's a staple in any party, or the Super Bowl.
This is mozzarella and marinara flavor.
Any type of food that we have in America,
we turn it into a chip.
- Here we go people!
But the interesting thing about it
is it's called Chipsfrisch, right?
Which is chips, like you know.
And then frisch is fresh,
and this is very interesting too
because it's-- - Ungarnished?
(both laughing)
- Wanna know what it actually means?
- What does it mean? - Hungarian.
- Any Hungarian that I decide to lick or eat will--
- No! (laughs)
If you have a party,
you would usually bring this or have it there.
Just as Ruffles.
- So, this is for the Super Bowl,
that's for the FIFA World Cup?
- Absolutely, yeah!
- I'm trying to read this.
- Before you open that, try one, please!
- That's some good chips, yo!
- Is it not bad or is it good?
Let me get another one.
- It's like a potato dressing up as another fruit.
- It's the paprika!
- That's what paprika tastes like?
- They kinda tastes like barbecue lays,
I ain't even gonna lie.
- Wow, it actually tastes like what it says on the bag.
- So you don't even have to,
do we eat mozzarella sticks anymore?
(both laughing)
- I like those, but I'm not sure if I would buy them.
- I would still go with those,
because it just brings back so many memories.
- I think I like this more-- - Yay!
- Than that.
- These are good-- - They're good.
- But if I'm gonna be doing snacking for a while,
I'm running with these. - You're half German now.
I mean he's half German, I made him half German right now.
- Those are called Hanuta.
It's like a hazelnut cream between two..
- Wafers? - Yes!
(speaking in foreign language)
(repeats foreign language) (both laughing)
- I mean honestly guys Hanuta
is I think is one of the most popular snacks
that we have in Germany.
- I had those as a kid many many times.
- Nutter Butter's.
Peanut-buttery flavor.
Real bold.
- It's peanut butter in the shape of a peanut.
(laughs)
- There you go!
- The smell is very strong.
- It's okay.
- Yeah, I like these.
(both laughing)
- It's a mini sandwich!
- Yeah!
- So you don't have to spread the Nutella.
- It's not too big, you know?
It's not really like, you see?
- No. (Ben laughs)
- The crackers are basically almost like, bigger
than the actual cream.
- The peanut butter is still somewhat savory,
like not as sweet, but the cookie makes it super sweet.
It's very interesting, but I love it.
- I'll run with this.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I'm just, Germany snacks are just killing it.
- I'm actually very partial to Nutella.
So, I think I would pick this.
- I have to try one! - Oh, yeah!
- Oh man.
- I think I would go with this.
Because this is more exciting,
this is new and interesting, and weird,
and just, I can't explain why I love it, but I do.
(speaking foreign language)
- It tastes like Coca Cola.
- In the shape of a Cola. - Yes!
- It's a very German traditional company.
It's like from a guy out of Bonn, which is a German town.
His name is, I think it was Hans Riegel from Bonn.
So Hans, H-A-R-I for Rieglal,
B-O Bonn, Haribo.
- And I love, by the way, this says "share size,"
(both laughing) and it's a fairly small bag.
- We got the Trolli Sour Brite Octopus.
Are you a fan of sour candy?
- Yeah.
- This is obviously not share size.
- Yes! - You expect--
- But it's the same! (laughs)
- It does tastes like Coke.
Since there's no fizziness, it's just like flat Coke.
- This is actually not sour at all.
- This does not taste like Cola!
(laughs)
- I would never buy them,
but I would eat them if somebody offered me some.
- I mean-- (laughs)
- I feel duped!
(speaking foreign language)
(both laughing)
- It was so good!
- Okay, I like them.
They're actually not too sour actually,
these are right in the middle.
I like it.
It's not too crazy.
- It is very sweet, and it tastes very artificial.
I don't know what flavor they're going for--
- Sour!
- I'm gonna just have to go with the Trolli's.
Just because they're sour man.
- I go with them too.
- Nice, we got one! - I do.
Sorry Germany!
I mean I love you, you know that right?
- I would choose this. (laughs)
- No question, I would choose this.
- My favorite thing was the Hanita.
- Hanita?
Oh it's Hanita now.
- Yeah, well I don't know what it's called guys--
- You got it, you got it.
Hanuta. - Hanuta!
- So I would say my favorite today was the Nutter Butter.
I just liked the weirdness of it.
- For me, I'm the opposite.
I love chocolate.
So my favorite is the Hanuta.
- Definitely the Trolli sour gummi bears or like octopus.
That's definitely also one of my favorites now.
I think in the future,
if I'm just somewhere at a party or whatever,
and they have stuff like that,
that's the first thing I'm gonna look for.
- A lot of weird combinations and very intense flavors,
but overall very interesting.
- I like the German stuff obviously,
so I can't really say anything bad
also about the American stuff.
It's just different, right?
And I really feel just depends how you got raised,
and where you're coming from.
- I'm more into the American candies,
but it seems like cracker and the potato chips,
I like the German versions.
