- Don't snort it!
(lady with bob cut snorts and laughs)
- [Off Camera Female Voice] Oh no, no, no!
- Did you really snort it?
(upbeat jazz music)
- Hello everyone, today we are doing a snack swap.
- Hi, I'm Tony.
I'm representing the Philippines.
- Hey y'all, it's yah girl Bre,
and I'm Mexican-American, and I'm representing
some Mexican snacks today!
- Hey, I'm Cheska, and I group up in the Philippines.
- I'm Maya, I'm representing Mexico.
Obviously, I'm Mexican-American.
I've never tried Filipino snacks before.
- I'm really excited to try the Mexican snacks.
I do know that Filipinos and Mexicans specifically,
have very similar--
- Colonizers. (Cheska laughs)
- I'm pretty familiar with some Mexican snacks.
I grew up in San Diego.
- I used to live in Bakersfield, CA.
Shout out Bako!
There's a lot of Filipinos that live there.
But I've never tried any Filipino snacks ever in my life.
- I read the comments of the last Mexican Snacksoff video.
You guys were very pressed that I picked
a bunch of spicy snacks.
Because, yes, I know we don't have just spice snacks.
So this palate is more of a sweet, chewy side.
- Let her eat what she wants to eat!
- Thank you!
(upbeat jazz music)
- So what we have here is Polvoron.
It's chalky.
It's powdery.
It's a dry snack.
They come in a lot of flavors.
- This is the ube flavor, 'cause we love ube.
But we have like a--
- I saw that in "Steven Universe."
- Yeah. - Yeah, the purple cake!
- This is quintessential Philippine flavor.
- So this is actually like a Mexican style
of your heard of marzipan.
And so, instead of almonds, it's made with peanut.
- De la Rosa Marzipan.
- And it's kinda like a little of the crumbly texture.
(Bre smacks) - Oh, it's very similar.
- But it's, yeah, it's very similar.
- So we have a thing with this.
If you open it, and it breaks,
it means you are a heartbreaker.
- But it's like sweet, but like a dull sweet.
It's not too crazy, but just don't be surprised
by the little (Bre smacks)
texture. - It's a grownup.
This one is more like...
(loud buzzer) - A snack swap.
- Snack swap! - Snack swap!
- I feel pressured to open this right now.
My heart itself has been broken many times.
And so I don't want to put that on anyone else.
Okay, it's pretty solid. (Maya gasps)
Wow, this is easy.
- Ooh, it's covered in sugar.
- All right, your turn.
- Well, I break hearts, so.
- Oh my gosh.
- All right, try it?
- Oh!
It tastes like a cookie.
- Mm! - Oh my God!
This is very similar to a snack from Cebu.
My dad's from Cebu and they have a snack that's...
I forgot what it's called, but it's very similar to this!
- Are there real peanuts in here?
- Mm hm. - Oh, that's awesome.
(Maya clears her throat)
It's a little dry. - Yeah, a little dry.
- But it's good! - Yeah.
- What's the original flavor?
- It's really just like vanilla-ee.
- See, look how similar they are?
Ours is a little more smooth.
- Hm. (Bre smacks)
- I feel like the taste the same.
Those two? - Like this and that.
- Oh.
- I like this a lot!
- I definitely would eat this again with like coffee or tea.
(upbeat music)
This is the paleta payaso.
- Like a clown lolly pop.
But it's like a marshmello-ee chocolate.
Has gummies on it. - It's sweet.
- I's sweet. - Okay.
- But this is actually a really important snack to me.
Because this the candy in my life
that taught me how to catfish people.
Because, if you look, that is not what's inside.
- Oh! - Yeah.
- So this is sweet corn.
- I grew up in the Philippines and then
there were vendors sometimes outside.
And I would buy this all the time.
- Yeah, it's really more like chips.
You would eat it like chips.
- It's a little sweeter.
- Snack swap.
- Snack swap!
- Snack swap! - Snack swap!
- I love corn.
(reel fast forwarding)
(Maya giggles) (reel fast forwarding)
- So we're just gonna open it like this.
- The reveal!
- I'm glad that you said that
it doesn't look like this face.
Because, that scared me.
- What!
(Tony laughs)
- He doesn't look the same!
- So it's like the chocolate covered marshmallow.
- Thumbnail. (tinkling cymbal)
- This is me on like Instagram with my contour
and like my lip gloss on.
And this is me in real life, my real number of chins.
- Marshmallow-ee inside, chocolate outside.
- Mm marshmallow?
I love marshmallows.
- Wow, these are kinda like mini corn puffs.
But like also Cheeto Puffs, but without the Cheeto!
Give it a little try. (Bre crunches loudly)
(Bre laughs) - Wow!
I love these!
- It does taste like corn.
- Oh, that's very fluffy.
Mm, that's very fluffy!
- I think this is great for kids.
They just want sweet stuff.
- This is super-good.
Maybe a little Tajín on it to make it like
really like culturally mixed.
Get a little spice, a little bit a sweetness--
- Make it Mexippino.
- Yeah, Mexippino!
- Marry the two snacks, whoa!
- And when I was in elementary school,
people use to snort this for fun.
(Cheska laughs)
(Bre shakes bag)
- Why didn't I do this-- - Damn!
- in my youth?
- Damn!
- Oh my God!
- Don't snort it!
- There was a gummy.
Ooh, I like that mixture.
- Wanna get a little bite bite?
- Yeah.
- This-- - It's a little flavored.
- is so good!
- This needs more gummies.
- This,
mm, this was so freaking good!
- Teamwork.
Teamwork. - Cultural exchange.
- It just hits the spot.
- This was really good.
I did enjoy the combination of the gummies
and the chocolate and the marshmallow.
I just want more gummy though.
(Maya sighs) (upbeat guitar music)
- This is call Duvalin.
- It's a strawberry in this little chocolate.
Actually, no, hazelnut, excuse
(Bre speaks in foreign language)
- These are the things that you get in a pinata
when you hit it and it comes down.
- This one is Bowy Bawang.
It just literally translates to boy garlic.
- Garlics!
I'm excited about this.
This is my favorite Filipino snack.
- Nutty things with a garlic flavor.
- I'm familiar with nutty things
that have a garlic flavor to them.
Just I general, my life. (Bre gasps)
(Cheska laughs) You being nasty?
Oh my God!
- Snack swap!
- Snack swap. - Snack swap.
- Ooh, I'm gonna take, I'm gonna have both like this.
- Mm, they smell like garlic.
- Close your eyes.
And then feel the flavor.
- Mm! - What do you think?
- Oh my God, wow!
- It was delightful.
It's like Nutella.
(Bre crunches loudly)
(off camera laughing) - I do eat like this at home!
Leave me alone you guys!
- This is so good!
Oh my God!
I'm a big garlic fan.
And I love corn nuts.
And it's such a beautiful strong flavor.
But it's also like not over powering.
- This tastes real crunch.
I can't stop eating them.
- What if we put Lucas on this?
(Maya crunches) - Yeah?
Okay. - Yeah,
I'm a freakin' genius!
I'm a chef.
- Duvalin?
- Duvalin. - Dubalin, I like it a lot!
- Do you like imagine like long road trips?
- Um hm, or if I had like a little bit of a party.
And like-- - You have (Cheska murmurs).
- Yeah, and if you don't wanna get like too crazy
but have some little carbs.
You know what I'm talin' 'bout?
- This one's for the kids man.
Like really, like it's just all sugar.
(upbeat music) - What'd you think
of my people's snacks?
- Maybe you guys love the sweetness.
And they're very good!
- I really love that, what's that cookie name again?
The cookie. - The Polvoron.
- Yeah, that was real delicious.
I would definitely eat it again.
- Yeah, your guy's snacks were really, really good.
And I feel like there's a lot of similarities
within our culture, which I think is cool.
- Yeah. - My favorite
is the Marzipan because it also reminds
me a little bit of my dad's hometown.
- All right.
I can go back for more.
- Really? - Oh wait,
oh I ate all the gummies.
- I like the Duvalin.
I would like buy a bunch of those in a party.
(in foreign language)
- Cultural exchange.
- Cultural exchange!
- Culutural exchange.
(upbeat music) Cultural exchange.
