These are some Taiwanese authentic supposedly authentic Tony said snacks
I made sure when I bought them that one I bought him a 7-eleven the official store of Taiwan
Okay, too. I made sure they said made in Taiwan right so it wasn't like it
So I wasn't getting like bamboozled. We're gonna try them out and let you guys know what we think a lot of varieties here
Let's start off with
This
It's kind of cute so from the packaging. It looks like a Pokemon. It's
More less
Drowsy yeah
Drowsy pooh oh that looks like a drowsy. Oh my gosh. Yeah with a baseball yeah in his mouth Chinese it says
Swans has one chance homie nice shot. Yeah, so sweet and sour strawberry filling whoa the seven different types
Oh, I think in here, okay, so I think this is just chocolate balls
Like a kinder egg, there's nothing something inside. Yeah, it's like a cracker jack box
Kinder egg
It looks like spider-man trying to get into a box of snacks
No, here's the thing that you use these you can put them on your cup there. We go. Oh
Oh, yeah
Show them what's it all about I like that
Wait can you just hang out in your house and have this just hanging on your dad is just not stable though
They're basically chocolate balls. Oh, yes chocolate-covered strawberries. Thank you. They smell like chocolate-covered strawberries. Yeah
They look like
Nuggets
It's not crunchy hard
Not even chewy
Hard to chew you consider those chewy. It's hard to chew but the chocolates dissolving so it's kind of weird like the inside
It's really hard
This is I like it I'll tell you what there's nothing unique to it
It literally just tastes like anything any chocolate-covered
cranberry
Next let's try something salty
She's open
What she's open. This is she's open. He's open. It has a cute character on the bottom
It says young you young little potato ball
Okay, little balls got like a bunch of creepy honestly creepy looking characters in the back
Like they have no eyeballs
How's calm let me ask you guys looking at this thing house comes the potato has an eyeball and below characters
They're like they look like literally like so little zombies. Oh, yeah, I love puffy crispy salty snacks
Me too savory snacks. Oh, I
Look it's almost like it's 3d. It's like a it's like two chicks mixes. Yeah
Addiction city right? Oh, wow. Oh it melts in your mouth. Oh, this is a winner. This is airy. It's crunchy
It's perfect amount of saltiness
It's better than a potato chip
You know, but you can find something really similar like this in a Japanese
Yeah, this melts. It also isn't so greasy that you can't stand it. No, we see at all
I'm gonna give this one and nine out of ten Wow
You guys taste the cheesiness. Yeah. Yeah, I can't go back in only seconds. All right next
This that looks good. Oh my gosh, they have the equivalent of this in mainland China
Made by this brand called Oishi. Okay, and it's really good. Wow. This looks up. It's it's ketchup flavor
Okay, happy. Yummy, Texas fries. Okay, yo, I'll tell you right now
I love anything ketchup flavored but they don't on from the
Packaging doesn't look like there's ketchup
So they kind of look like those vegetable chips you like
I love them. I mean, they're definitely ketchup flavored. You can't tell but there's minuscule
Ketchup flavoring on there. I love this. It doesn't match well with the texture of the chip
I feel like they're just they don't they don't mesh. I like this. I'll give it an 8 out of 10
Oh, let's do something weird here
You may show Paul food, whoa, I'm a since 1934 Wow, mini pops
Manila, I like snacks with guts. Really? I want to take it to take a bite
I can yeah, they're guts, but you don't have a preference on guts. Like I only wanna see guts
Yeah, I don't want salty guts stops calling it guts
It's a filling. They're a little harder than
Were you supposed to put them in the fridge or no, no, okay. All right, let's try it
That's a winner, that's good, I wonder if I wonder check it out
See, yeah iced tea. Okay
Why would you dip it cuz you dip it it's vanilla
Y'all are crazy. Oh good. No good. No good one. See you dip it in there
That's a winner right here this works with milk as well
We're gonna do a ramen video later, it's not brought back
But cushion. Yeah, it's the number one. I don't know science science little size noodles size noodles in the brand
Yeah, it's the number one ramen brand in Thailand. It's hot. Everybody loves it. I never had this before
Oh, it's uni that that that that brand it makes a lot of like instant food, right?
So this is basically a this is basically a dry ramen. Oh
It's called so seeing the art, which is be careful
Because it's gonna bite you because look at how much ramen it put is in the mouth
They literally they look like just a little piece of dry ramen. Okay, I like that
So you just what you just going for like a little? Yeah
Yo, favorite thing in the world
9 out of 10 that's literally dried ramen right there
Love it the regular ramen when you try to break it up though. Don't be surprising sharp pieces. Yeah
Yeah, this is literally made for you to like
Like it deep-fried it, you know, it's not healthy, but it's very good. It's so good
I'll tell you something really interesting when I was little and I broke up the ramen
I should step on the ramen back before I open it
So it's all because I couldn't break it with my hands strong enough, but when I step on it, it breaks up
Really? Oh, that's cute. Well, that's better than what we did
Like just like this body slamming. Oh, that's what I did first. Boom. Boom. Boom
This I think I will like
First of all, it is beautiful. Yeah, like that's it. That's a beautiful looking fish. So this is fish flavored fried
Not fried actually not fried guns guns. Wish you tell you Wow
It's crispy. It just literally translates to miles will be a fish. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it's so cool. Oh, there's a fish world
There's a comic in the back. Yeah, we'll be all low hole guns. We didn't change him
But what so the sort of boss fish is like we gotta move forward. Yeah, and this is a shopping women woman fish
Watch and y'all got to eat it. Thank you. Oh, yeah, that's you. That's me. That's you fish
Don't say go. What's I eat?
Yeah, what's almost right? You shouldn't die. Well, I'm so handsome all the girlfish loves me all the girls
So this fish is got fish is trying to hit on this girl fish and finally there's a NASA fish
Yeah, I love savory snacks. Oh
That's a winner, I like it I like it
I'm a little disappointed though, because it doesn't taste anything like fish
It tastes a little bit like a little bit like fish tiny bit like a shrimp. No shrimp. But a tiny yes
Like um, like it tastes it has the texture of a shrimp chip is glazed with something sweet and sesame eat
So a little sweet and salty. Oh
So they made me buy this like I took I took one off
And then 7-eleven was like no since I mean you put on the young
But you have to get this in a group so okay, this is like this looks like literally a cat on crack
Yes
I think they're like cartoon characters. Yeah
They're literally the creepiest things ever seen my life. I mean if you saw a cat like that, you're gonna run. Yeah
I've come to the realization that I think all of these are the same. So we only need to try one
There's what so he chipped you bro. No, they got to be different. They're different packaging. No
Snacks this is seaweed. They're all seaweed. These are ghost cats, by the way, they're definitely ghost cats
This is the Taiwanese version of like Digimon right here. Well, actually guys, I don't know that might be an actual anime
We haven't seen oh, oh they're pieces. Oh, they look good. Oh, they're pieces
fries with seaweed on them, but see weekly like
Yeah, normally literally look like little bits of french fries. Can't tell you anytime. I see little powdery speckles of green
I'm in because it's seaweed. I'm in
That's very Japanese tasting
They're literally tastes like dried french fries. They are with that sesame
Oh, there's an exact it almost like exactly the same snack in Japan. Okay, that tastes just like this
Yeah, so this is definitely a Taiwanese snack
But maybe they ripped it off from Japan. Yeah
I still can't put my finger on this. I've never tried french fries. What is this?
Open chan, I'm my chance. Oh, you might bumpy. This is milk sticks. Yeah milk. Oh, oh seaweed again. Oh
My god, you know, I like this little
Wait, this is savory. Can I ask you guys something same character?
Is it because I was gonna say how come Taiwanese characters never have souls?
It's the same brand or there's actually a cartoon with these guys. Well, that's very similar to these eyeless guys
Yeah, there's this cat who's eyeless I'm all this and it was another thing we had that was
Bro, can I just ask so is this soulless company? Yeah, like in America we have very recognizable
mascots, right cheeto cheeto cheetah
Chester cheetah. Yes, and then there's the
Captain Crunch
Tony the Tiger. Yeah, and the bunny, you know, they all have a comic tricks. Well, they all have souls
Yeah
So this must be the Taiwanese equivalent the soulless brand. It looks very crispy
I mean you want to eat more. No, you got each. No, we got it all either. Oh, what is it?
So come on, that's yo
Because when you take one, I'm gonna eat the whole thing
I just want to eat a little bit because this looks like could be something that good to me. I
Don't like textures like this
I've had this many times
because
It's really doughy like it's filling. It's like it's literally a condensed olive garden breast stick. Yeah
And what says what seaweed? No
Either you need a whole one
Thanks. Everyone says good goodies again soulless girl. No, I've no eyeballs now. She got eyeballs
No, those are her eyeballs, where's her eyes
Yo, it's again, it's seaweed
Well, I think everything's I think everything's seaweed Shantou. Yeah, so maybe what that's her name. Yeah, don't you? Yeah
Yeah, I guess how would they how do they do this back after someone? So it's a little little sister. Dang
I'll tell you what though. It looks like a fried meatball. It looks very interesting. Oh, you know what this is
It's literally look like little
Hey balls of ramen. Yeah, you know if I had if I was still into Barbies
I would make Barbie make herself a pot of ramen with perfect size of that. I wonder what if you put this into a little pot?
You know, you know those guys that make miniature foods
What if you put this into a little pot and you boil it would this be a perfect bowl of ramen soup?
It would be well, I'm not doing this flavor. There's no worry flavor. It's not good
Everything has to be seaweed flash snack
Yeah, this is the most type of yellow based snacks I've ever seen how one these people love
Like at least the other one they kind of made it bigger
This is literally like if you broke a bag of ramen, this would fall out. This is good. This is good
Only thing that's missing. I'll be right back guys
Yeah
I think I think I can make it better. Okay, do it put hot oil in there. No
Well, you could put it
Yeah
Chili pepper. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Oh my god. Shake it up. Oh, yeah
Shake it. Shake it
I'll take a picture. That's awesome. Yeah, what do you I would even put more?
Yeah, I want I want this to be covered in red
Yo
This is dry ramen upgraded
Yo, yo, you just said bro, you just invented a new snack. We haven't had a lot of spicy snacks
I feel like Taiwanese people just don't maybe you don't like spicy flavor
Oh
Mmm, everything's better one spicy, which snack was you guys fear the cheese puffs? I like something that's soft not too crunchy
I don't want to hurt me and just cheat you could do a lot with this
Yeah, this kind of powder thing because the powder you get it in the US not that spicy. No, this is really good
These are the ones I think all of us think it's really let's try it
Yeah, oh put that big giant chunk in there oh
Wait, wait
This is fully have the big
Ready shake it up. I'm so excited. Check out what it turned into
Yo guys guys
Look at these. These are like red hot chili. Do you remember what they look like before?
Oh
No, it goes right in here Wow, that is spicy
Spicy. Oh my god
You know that that spicy cheeto challenge people do where like some cheeto might be really spicy got nothing on this
Those are pretty enjoyable. I feel like Taiwanese snacks. A lot of them are very similar
Yeah, you know like if you're gonna like I don't know maybe I got like just
Just I don't know because I got them all at 7-eleven. I went to two places
I'm gonna go 7-eleven and I went to a snack store
And there's a lot of dry stuff like dry squid and stuff like that's pretty typical
We get that everywhere so these are only ones I've done like I felt was really authentic in Taiwan and
Someone really good. I feel like I'm really good. What was your favorite that that cheese puff potato thing that that's really good
I would say it's a tie between that and the ramen snacks. Yeah, but I think we add some chili powder
Yeah, absolutely I think that uplifted all those snacks and guys I mean I'm sure a lot of you are like
What kind of chili butter is I'll put that in the description box for you guys
