Girl Tries CZECH Snacks 🇨🇿 _ 17 Types of Candy!

Oh my god, that's like somebody hit me in the face with a bag of sugar. Or should I say ahoj? Welcome to my channel. I'm really glad you decided to click this video and as you can tell from the title, today we're going to be testing Czech sweets. And I know this is a little different from my usual content, which for those of you who are new here is normally travel, eco-friendly living, and vegan food. But today I thought I'd kind of combine the whole travel and food thing and introduce you to some Czech sweets. And the reason I've picked Czech sweets in particular is because I was actually born in Czechia and I lived there until I was 13. And I hope you just appreciated what I did there. I said Czechia and not the Czech Republic because they recently changed the name of the country. I feel like I'm going to be one of those old people who are still saying it wrong when they're 90, but that's fine. So because I don't like half-assing things, this is how many sweets I bought. So apparently I'm going to be trying 17 different types of Czech candy today. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. 17, that's 17 and that marks the end of the lesson portion. And now bring on the sugar! Actually, no. I bought three savory snacks, so we're going to start with those to give this like some semblance of logic. And the very first bag that I have right here is Bohemia. This is called Bramburke in Czech, but it's just your standard potato chips. So let's try these. Okay, I remembered these being very salty and they do not disappoint. These are very salty, but the salt is really fine. So it's not like too in your face. And I just quickly want to point out that these are jemně solené, which means lightly salted. And these are really, really salty, so I don't know what the normal ones taste like. I don't really remember. But these are very good, but very salty. All right, next up we have Flippy. And I don't think this is like a particularly famous brand, but these were just the cheapest. This is normally called křupinky, or that's what I would call it at least, but it's just made with peanuts. I don't really know how they make it. I mean, you really don't want to know how they make most of these things. So I'm going to open this now and try it. Oh, okay. I think when I just said now that it doesn't matter if you buy the cheapest ones or the more expensive ones, it probably matters. These are pretty bad. They just dissolve on your tongue really quickly, so you keep shoveling them in. And before you know it, you've finished three bags of them and you're lying on the floor just clutching your stomach. But it's kind of worth it. They really stick to your teeth. Okay, so our final savory snack is slane tečenka, which just means salted sticks. These I really, really remember from my childhood. And by the way, for a lot of these, I have already tried them before, so I just wanted to put that out there. But I haven't had them in years and years and years, so it's still kind of new for me. You know, I'm like remembering the flavors and it's really bringing me back to my childhood, which is really nice. But yeah, back to slane tečenka. Slane tečenka. Okay, you probably know these in pretzel form. This is what they look like. But there's something about having them in this shape that makes me feel very nostalgic. So let's try if they are good at all. Here we go. They're fine, but they're just not really as good as I remember them being when I was a kid. The thing is, actually, with these, it was never really about the taste. It was about the acting. So as a child, I did this and literally every child I know did this. We would smoke them. Not actually set them on fire, but we would do this and be like, mom, dad, lung cancer. I'm sorry, that got really dark really quickly. I apologize. But this next thing is only half dark and it is delicious. This is probably my favorite snack ever. I really, really like these, but I can never find them abroad. So I'm really excited to dig in again because I haven't had these in years and I am so excited. I really, really hope these don't let me down. I can't. You see that? They really stick to your teeth. Oh, they're so good though. I'm sorry, this is disgusting. So I'm just gonna cut it right here. Alright, next is something called pernik. So this is essentially gingerbread, but like doughy gingerbread that's been dipped in chocolate and it's got jam in the middle. So this particular one right here says it's borovkovy, which means blueberry, which is not really a flavor I tried before, so I'm very excited. So it's good, but it's very, very, very dry and it's almost so dry. I mean, it's like doughy, it's not crunchy, but it's really, it just needs some moisture. It almost makes me want to dip it in my tea or something, but I think that's just a sign I've been in the UK for too long. Here is one of my favorite snacks. I'm probably gonna keep saying this, like this is my favorite snack, this is my favorite snack, but I just like a lot of snacks. Let's, I mean, let's be realistic, a lot of people do. So these are called polomaczne, which means half-dipped, and they, just like lenetskie rohliczki, are half-dipped in chocolate and half-plain, and they're, I mean, they're essentially just your kind of butter, butter biscuits, butter cookies. This is the back, so it's got a sunrise on there and opavia, which is the name of the company that makes these. Okay, you cannot go wrong with these. These are so incredibly delicious. I mean, they taste so buttery. The chocolate is delicious, but not overpowering. I could be in an ad for these, and I would sell them by bucketloads. All right, we are getting through these pretty quickly, so I'm quite proud of us. And the next one is called vieneczke, which means wreaths, and it's because of their shape. So I don't really have a strong opinion about these, to be honest. My mom really likes them. I eat them if they're there. I wouldn't really go out of my way to buy them, but maybe I remember wrong, so. No, I don't. They're fine. It tastes like a really dried-out brownie and not quite as sweet. Not bad, but not amazing. I am gonna finish it, though. I'm not a barbarian, aside from the whole talking with my mouth full thing. All right, this next thing called tatranke is very popular in the Czech Republic, but it's also very popular in neighboring Slovakia. And I feel like tatranke are actually the Slovakian ones because they have the Tatra Mountains there, and maybe ours are called horálke. If you do know about the whole tatranke horálke thing, then let me know in a comment below. All right, yeah, I actually love these. I never really liked them when I lived in the Czech Republic, but they're one of those things that I've really come to appreciate as embodying the entire Czech sweets experience. They're very good. And now I'm gonna try these two, and I'm gonna try them at the same time because they're kind of complementary. So these are the really famous ones. Banane v čokoládě means chocolate-dipped bananas, and it's, how would I, I mean, it's like this jelly, banana-flavored jelly dipped in chocolate. I feel like everything is dipped in chocolate. I feel like I'm spotting a trend there, but that's fine. But there's a bit of a controversy about banane v čokoládě because a lot of Czech people, I think, really don't like them, and I kind of get it. They're very, very sweet. I think I have quite a high tolerance for sugar, which is not something to be proud of at all. It's kind of terrible, but what you gonna do? All right, so here we go. Yes, this was the first time ever that I spotted another flavor, strawberry. So I'm gonna test that now. Mm-mm, mm-mm. I think I dipped them too soon. That's okay, actually. Both of them, I mean, they taste very artificial, but at the same time, you really do get that strawberry or banana flavor. I apologize. You didn't deserve that initial criticism. The next thing I'm gonna try is the Deli Bar, and this one is pistachio-flavored. I don't really like these, to be honest. I don't know. There's just something about them that strikes me as very unexciting, but I don't think I've ever tried the pistachio one. It might be like a new flavor, so we'll see. No. Oh my God, that's like somebody hit me in the face with a bag of sugar. You know how I literally just finished saying how I have a high tolerance to sugar? Not for this. Oh, I'm not even gonna, mm-mm. All right, on that negative note, I'm gonna try another chocolate bar that I never really liked. This is called Cofila, and it's like a coffee-flavored chocolate bar. I don't know. I'm not really big on coffee. I do like the smell, but that's kind of where it ends, and I can't handle caffeine at all because I'm quite a hyper person naturally, in case you haven't noticed, so it just doesn't really, it's not a very good combination. Okay, it's filled with some kind of white cream. I actually remembered it being brown, so I don't know if they've changed it or if I just remembered wrong. No. Mm-mm. If you like artificial coffee tastes, you're gonna love this, but because I don't, I don't love it at all. It's still there. Okay, next. So this little bar I'm not really familiar with. I think this is gonna be the one thing that I've never tried before. Oh, okay. Hmm. It kind of tastes like, um, rum-soaked raisins or something. Speaking of which, actually, margot. That's literally rum-soaked raisins, in my mind, anyway. So we're gonna try that next, and margot is, um, kind of billed as being a coconut-flavored chocolate bar, but it's all about rum-soaked raisins for me. It's kind of my, it's kind of my thing in life. Mm. Mm. It smells a lot like marzipan, so if you don't like marzipan, you would probably not like this, but I love marzipan, so I'm down with that. What do you know? We only have three things left, and these are actually all very good, so I'm quite excited. We're gonna start with Fidorka, and this one is mleczna z orzyszkową napoń, which means it's milk chocolate with hazelnut filling. So it's gonna be pretty good. My favorite is the white chocolate one, but this is the one I got now, so we'll see if I still like it. Mm. I do. It's a very inoffensive flavor. It's the kind of thing that I can't really imagine anyone hating with a vengeance, but it's also not my favorite because it's just a bit eh. Studencka peče is a bit of an institution in the Czech Republic. Who makes this? Orion. You'll notice that Orion, Orion, is a brand that makes a lot of these popular Czech sweets. This one is, um, if you can see that, chudí hrušek, which means pear-flavored, and this is what it looks like, and it always has these little pockets of jelly, which I love. Loads of nuts. They're quite generous when it comes to the fillings, so I'm a big fan of that, and I think that right here is one of the pear things. Mm. Okay. If I'm being perfectly honest, the standard one or the cherry one, they're definitely a lot better than this one because, I mean, cherries, pears, cherries. You should know what's coming after I'm done filming this video. What I'm gonna do is I'm put on Vampire Diaries or The 100, they're like my two favorite series right now, and I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna finish all of this. Hopefully I'll fall into a deep, deep sugar coma before that happens, but eh, we'll see. Very last item on our list is Hašlerky, and I love these. They're like your minty, licoricey, bonbons, bonbons, heart candy, yeah, and they are excellent, and what I did is I bought the extra strength ones, extra strong, so I hope they don't blow my face off. Matches my nails. Okay, so, mm, it's strong. It's good though. Oh, it's such a, it's such a beautiful, deep, like, familiar flavor for me. I don't really know how to eat heart candy on camera. This is getting a bit awkward. I think I'm gonna, like, finish this and then come back to you guys, because I'm not just gonna sit here, like, bye. Alright, that marks the end of this video, and I am very hyper right now, so I'm gonna keep this very short and very sweet, so here comes the sweet bit.
