- Ugh, oh God. This is not normal seaweed.
- This was really good, actually.
♪ (French accordion music) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we are going under the sea
to try some different flavored seaweed.
- Oh God, I hate seaweed. I've only ever had it in sushi
and that's the main reason why I don't like sushi
is because there's seaweed in it.
- What? Okay.
Oh my God, I love seaweed, actually, so I'm excited.
I've had sushi and I've had seaweed snacks
or just the sheets of nori.
- I've had a lot of seaweed in my life.
I am Asian, so it's kind of built into my blood.
- I like seaweed. Doesn't even fill me up,
but it just tastes good.
- I like just the texture when it's crispy.
I would rather have seaweed than potato chips.
- I've had dried seaweed before and that was pretty good.
Years ago, though, so we'll see if I still like it.
- I like that it tastes like the sea.
It just feels salty and yummy.
- I'm pretty open minded to this flavored seaweed,
but also a little bit scared. I don't know.
Is this gonna ruin my childhood?
- (FBE) Here's your first one. - Looks pretty standard.
I don't know, but this may be a normal one.
- It literally just looks like paper.
It looks like something you would put on your walls
or something.
- Not really getting anything from that.
This just smells like normal seaweed.
Ugh, oh God. This is not normal seaweed.
- Dude. I think I got it out
fast enough, but that was bad.
- It's spicy. It's very spicy.
Oh wait, but it already went away.
Wait, what?
- That's spicy and gross.
- It's not a lingering spice. It goes away pretty quick.
I like it.
- I'm not really a spicy person, but it's good.
- (FBE) This one was roasted wasabi flavored.
- Oh, really? I would have figured
it would have been much, much stronger.
- The first one, I hate you guys.
- (FBE) So, this vegan and gluten free snack
contains kelp from South Korea, which is known for
its large leaves and rich flavor.
- Korea. I'm Korean.
- This is vegan and gluten free and doesn't have
anything in it and it's healthy
'cause look how thin that is and it tastes okay.
Kinda tastes like spicy paper, so if you like eating paper,
here's a nice twist to that.
- (FBE) Here is your next flavor.
- It looks like the same one, honestly.
- I guess I assumed the different flavors
to look different.
- This one smells kind of sweet.
- It kinda smells like a Funion.
- That's sweet seaweed. That's weird.
- Is it sour cream and onion?
- It tastes like barbecue chips. This is really good actually.
I'm a fan. It's like a sweet and spicy
barbecue.
- I wanna say it's onion flavored, just 'cause it did smell
like Funions when I first got it.
- (FBE) This is Maui onion. - Okay.
In my head, I was thinking onion powder.
- It kinda tastes like I'm eating onion rings
now that I think about it.
- (FBE) They suggest breaking off a few of these seaweed sheets
into your eggs in the morning to give them a crunchy texture
and seasoning. - Oh, that would be good.
I gotta start changing it up. Oh man.
I'm just thinking about that and my mouth's watering.
- I could put it in my sandwiches.
I can put it in a wrap. There's endless possibilities.
- (FBE) All right, here's your next seaweed.
- I see slight seasoning on this one.
It smells kinda like hickory.
- It's lighter and it has red spots in it,
which is a little frightening.
- It literally smells like the red pepper flake dish
that you get at a pizza place.
- It's a little spicy. It's a different spice, you know?
Less nasally.
- It's not as strong as the wasabi one,
but it does linger.
- It's not as spicy as the wasabi,
but it's kinda building. I'm trying to think
what pepper is red. Maybe habanero?
- I don't think it's jalapeno. I have no idea what it is.
- (FBE) This is spicy chipotle. - See?
I knew I smelt some sort of smokiness to it.
- Each batch of SeaSnax must pass a rigorous taste test
preformed by the head of R and D, who just happens to be
the daughter of the founders, Jin and Ben,
so if she doesn't like it, it does not get used.
- I kinda wanna meet this person.
Why does she like this?
- That's a whole lot of pressure and this just shows
how diverse this daughter's taste in seaweed is.
That's cool. You get to just taste
seaweed all day.
- (FBE) Okay, here's your next seaweed.
- Oh, that's different.
- What is this white stuff?
- What is that? It's like a sandwich.
It's like a little seaweed sandwich.
This one definitely looks different.
There are little things on the inside
and I don't know if I wanna eat that.
- I kinda don't like this. I thought the texture
was gonna be really crunchy, but it's kinda soft.
- It's seaweed covered coconut. Is it chocolate?
- Interesting. Just gonna put that back.
I feel like the flavors are just very clashing flavors.
I don't know why you would ever put those together.
- Oh, it's chocolate? Oh wow.
- (FBE) This one is coconut and chocolate.
- What the-- see, I don't like coconut,
but there's chocolate in here too?
- (FBE) This new snack is loaded with coconut flakes
layered between two crispy roasted seaweed strips
with Belgian dark chocolate. - I'm a fan.
I never thought of seaweed as a dessert.
- Why would you put seaweed in that?
That sounds so good.
- It's a weird combination, which is surprising that
it's not terrible, but I wasn't expecting this
to be good.
- (FBE) All right, here's your last one.
- Okay, now we're going back to normal.
- I don't see any seasoning or anything on this one,
so maybe it's soaked in something,
like marinated?
- It's seaweed. It's just seaweed.
- See, that one just tasted kinda plain to me.
- That has to be normal seaweed.
- It kinda tastes like ketchup almost.
It has a weird soury taste and then combined
with the seaweed and the ocean taste.
It's not really a great combo.
- It's not as salty and crispy and flavorful
as I am used to.
- (FBE) Well, this one is teriyaki roasted seaweed.
- Where? This didn't taste
like anything to me.
- This isn't the teriyaki roasted seaweed that I've had.
I've had some good teriyaki flavored seaweed.
- (FBE) So, this brand is Ocean's Halo
and it donates 2% of their profits to the Children's
Education Fund, which makes it possible for school children
to visit the aquarium for free.
- Oh wow. I love that.
This is probably a huge thing in food production in general,
so it's really great that they're donating profits
to such a good cause.
- (FBE) So, how was eating seaweed today for you?
- I loved it, 'cause I love seaweed
and I hadn't tried any other flavors before,
but I liked them. They were fun.
- Kelp's really cool, actually. It's really good for
the environment, so I'm all for kelp,
but eating it is just weird.
- All the spicy ones that I had were really good
and I was just imagining all the dishes that
I could have it with. Oh man.
It's a whole new world out there.
