- (Katie) Today, you are going to try snacks from Brazil.
- 'Ey! Exquisite.
- I like foreign things.
- I know nothing about Brazilian food or snacks.
- Brazilian food, I have not tried any, so I'm excited.
- They're probably gonna be not as processed and horrible for you.
- Maybe, because it's South American, it could be something similar
to Mexican food, but I mean, I've never been to Brazil.
Who knows?
- (Katie) Universalyums.com sends snacks from all over the world,
and they were able to get these snacks specially from Brazil for you.
- Wow, so it's actually from Brazil.
- You don't have to go to Brazil to have Brazilian snacks sent to you.
Now I can try things from all over!
- I'm ready. I love food so much!
I'm so excited.
- (Katie) Here is your first snack to try. - Ooh... Funyuns.
- Are these like pork rinds?
- It looks like a puffy Frito.
- Yeah, oh-- ooh, it smells like maple syrup.
- It smells like bacon.
- I'm gonna eat this.
(crunching)
- That's really good.
(crunching)
- It tastes like I'm chewing on styrofoam .
(crunching)
- Mmm! It tastes like barbecued Fritos.
- It kind of just tastes like puffed up chips that are kind of salty,
but I don't know what it is.
- (Katie) This snack was Yokitos Bacon.
It is a bacon-flavored chip.
- Yokitos Bacon. That sounds like Spanish for "I want bacon."
- That seems so American, bacon-flavored chips.
- I don't like bacon!
This is not something up for debate, but I like these.
This chip's giving me some mixed feelings.
- (Katie) Here's the next one.
- This looks interesting.
- These look like packaging peanuts.
- I'm a little scared to try these! (laughing)
(crunching)
- (negatively) Mmm-mmm. No.
- Are these just, like, buttered chips?
- What's the point of that? It's like literally styrofoam in there.
- Just like a plain wheat flavor.
- It doesn't even taste good, but I kind of want to keep eating it.
(munching)
(uncertainly) Hmm. I don't know, what is it?
- (Katie) This snack was Biscoito de Polvilho.
It's a traditional Brazilian snack
made from the sour starch of the yucca plant.
- Okay, well, the yucca plant tastes like nothing.
- Maybe my palates just aren't advanced enough to appreciate it,
but not for me.
- (Katie) The next snack.
- I'm actually really intrigued by this one.
It's really squishy. It looks something a fish would eat.
- It looks like a little poop.
- This kind of looks like a fiber bar that just makes you poo.
- Is this fudge?
- It's not chocolate.
It looks like something that's gone bad.
- It's so chewy! (gags and laughs)
I don't like that.
- It's either fig or plum or maybe something.
I think this is fig.
(audible chewing)
- Is it made from fruit? It's like mashed fruit.
And it's good. I like it.
- It tastes like the inside of a Fig Newton.
- I thought it was gonna taste bad
just because it kinda looks like poop on a plate,
but once you put it in your mouth, then it's like,
"Oh, this is actually kind of pleasant."
- (Katie) This snack was Bananinha Paraibuna.
It's made from overripe bananas and is eaten as a protein bar in Brazil.
- Okay, that definitely doesn't taste like bananas.
- For all the people who like fruit snacks, but they can't eat them
'cause of the artificial flavors, this is perfect.
Get Brazilian food!
- (Katie) Let's try this one! - Oh, these look fun.
- Ooh! That smells good.
- This is gonna be spicy. These are like jalapeno something.
- I feel like these could be some sort of Brazilian corn nuts.
(munching)
- Oh, wow, that's salty. And it's a little spicy.
(munching)
- I like that. It's kind of like a Frito.
(munching)
- Mmm! That packs a punch.
(crunching)
- Hey!
That's not that bad. I like it.
- Oh my god. That's so good.
Yes! This is really good!
You put this in and it's like, "Whoa, there's a lot goin' on,"
and I like that a lot.
- It's like every really flavorful chip ever created into one.
- (Katie) This snack was Torcida.
It's made with Mexican jalapenos
and is a very popular snack in the São Paulo region.
- Oh my god. I'd be all over this.
- I'd eat a whole bag of these.
- I think we should have some of these down to the USA.
- I'm gonna keep eating these until you bring over the next thing.
(loud crunch)
- Last snack. - Interesting.
It looks like a granola bar.
- More random pastes shoved in-- oh shoot!
(laughing) Oh my god!
I just picked it up and it exploded!
- It kinda looks like it's a brick.
- Oh, it smells like peanut butter.
- This is a peanut butter something.
- Here we go.
I definitely tastes nuts or something.
- Oh, that's good.
It's like the inside of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
- Oh my god. Okay.
Brazil makes amazing snacks apparently.
- It tastes like peanut butter,
like a little peanut butter cookie or something.
- It's really messy.
And I'm a very messy eater, so this was, like, ten times worse.
- (Katie) This snack was Yoki Pacoquinha.
It's a ground peanut snack made from just three ingredients:
peanuts, sugar, and salt.
- That seems very unhealthy, but it was very delicious.
- These would just be amazing on an ice cream.
Like, could we bring out some ice cream right now
so that I can just eat the whole thing?
- (Katie) So which one of these snacks was your favorite that you'd recommend?
- Torcida, definitely the Torcida.
- I loved the Torcida a lot.
- Definitely the Torcidas.
- I recommend Torcidas.
- Jalapeno chips. They were really good.
- Yokitos Bacon.
I'm a big fan of bacon, so that's a plus.
- Torcida! Bring me some spicy chips and I'll love you forever.
- Torcida.
I could see myself buying a bag of those
and just fricking full-blown addiction,
like I'm at Jalapeno Chips Anonymous with a problem!
