You need to be a Canadian to understand EVERY aspect of the "take shoes off" video. We take our shoes off by reflex all year round because we are so used to taking them off to avoid snow, sleet, dirt or rain throughout the house, which honestly is almost the whole year 😅, but what you failed to notice is just how many DIFFERENT type of footwear there is, because with our weather we need footwear of all seasons at all times all year round 😂.
Okay it is true that we all take our boots off in a single movement haha. We don't necessarily spend time tying or untying - we just find the happy middle point and leave it at that. But the main joke there is that she had footwear for every possible weather condition, which is definitely a Canadian thing. The mud room is usually a huge pile of in and out of season footwear.
When I lived in the US, there was nothing more aggravating than having someone come over, offering them a polite invitation “take off your shoes and come on in”, only to have them march right in with their footwear still on. It really pushed the limits of what Canadian hospitality and politeness will tolerate.
Mainly when it's cold and wet outside, you don't want to track mud and dirt all over the house. So everyone tosses their dirty shoes and boots off near the entrance. Just so that, you aren't worrying about tracking dirt all over someoneelses house.
In Canada you take off your shoes when you come in the house. It’s second nature like putting on your seatbelt when you get in the car. At a house party the door is usually blocked by shoes. For me it’s not just about mud and dirt, it about the germs you track in. Think about it you wear those shoes in stores, nasty public bathrooms, public transportation etc.
THIS! My mom cared way more about a clean house-including no germs. WHY would want shoes that have been in public places on your clean floors and carpet??
At home, I usually take off my outside footwear, and put on my house slippers. If I run around without any shoes on at all, I stub my toes and I hate that.
Icebergs routinely show up on Newfoundland's coast; I was there in May 2023. Counted 27 icebergs on the horizon from a lookout at the lighthouse in Twillingate; did an iceberg boat tour following day - got very close to some - they are truly massive in size - also got to take away a small chunk of ice from an iceberg; enjoyed the 10 000 year old ice with a fine whiskey.
I'm a Canadian living in Canada and even I find it bizarre when I see people in the cold of winter wearing shorts, tank top and flip flops while everyone else is bundled up trying to stay warm. There's ALWAYS the odd person that defies the cold weather by dressing in summer clothes!😂😂
I'm croat living in Saskatchewan, and i love to get out on deck in winter with my shorts on, snow boots, and a jacket filled with cobra chicken feathers. To be honest if my torso and feet are warm, my legs are burning and nice -35 breeze is kinda nice, like a wind in summer 😂
Tyler I'll explain the shorts and flip flops in winter. -10 in the fall is waaay colder than -10 in the spring. We become acclimatized to cold during the -30 season so in the spring when the sun is hot, -10 is almost nothing. In the fall we are used to +30 so anything below 8 is getting chilly.
Bingo. You win a Timmies! Ironically, I always see people walking from Tim Hortons in mid Feb and March with a tray of coffees, in their shorts, breathing steam everywhere. It's a joy 'cos you know it means Spring is coming!
Hey Tyler, Start a go fund me page to travel Canada coast coast and let your viewers know about it with a link to contribute. I would think your fans would definitely contribute. Your personality is fantastic and I love your show. Don't think of it as charity rather an education in Canada scholarship. Keep up the good work Tyler! I never miss a show. Your friend in High River (basically Calgary)Alberta. I would definitely take you on a sight seeing trip to our local sights. Your show is wonderful, keep it up bro!!!!
When we were visiting my relatives in Scotland, my cousin came home and saw the shoes at the front door. He said, "The Canadians are here!". At that point I realized that we Canadians were sort of known for taking our shoes off before entering a house.
We do the same thing in Norway. It’s unheard of to not take your shoes of. Maybe it’s got something to do with the weather, there’s snow, salt and dirty snow from the streets, muddy in fall, in the spring it’s a lot of dirt from what was laying under the snow etc. You don’t wanna bring that into your house!
I'm Canadian and did graphic design. Fun Fact: Legally packaging in Canada has to have a accurate nutrition label and everything has to have English and French. They are called "Food labeling regulations". In Canada packaging has to have a "Best before" date and can't have health claims such as whole grain or organic. (those product need special certifications, I believe.) Also, I think the capitol of the USA is Washington D.C.!? Do I get money ;P.
As a Canadian, I'm more focused on the wide assortment of shoes for different weather conditions. It's October currently, so I have sandals, wet boots, warmer boots, and running shoes currently on the go, lol I also have inside shoes and slippers 😅 Once the weather is more stable then I put shoes away on a rack.
Taking shoes off helps keep the house clean. It's about being considerate. Our grandmothers would hit us with wooden spoons if you forget, and you don't want to mess with a Canadian grandmother armed with a wooden spoon.
😂 yes I have witnessed gran's spoon. It was shocking when I had invited in-laws to our home & father-in-law didn't remove shoes...I wouldn't use a spoon but verbal direction worked. I don't think he liked me much but I adored Lady mother-in-law.
my granny was chill about that because: 1-she was raised on a chicken farm. 2-she was a "garden grandma" who tracked more dirt than anyone else in her house. 3-WHEN it was required to take off your shoes there was a hedgerow of bootracks pass the front door.
In Canada, that "Yeah, no, yes, no" conversation is technically not a conversation, but more so just how you respond to someone talking to you, but it usually depends on the context. On the phone that's usually what I'll overhear other people say when making plans, but it will still have some actual talking sprinkled in. The TikTok is more of an exaggeration, but yeah, a lot of "yeahs", "nos" and "sures" when talking with someone you know in Canada.
Canadian here. I winter down in Arizona. It drives me nuts that American neighbours just walk on in with their shoes even after seeing me take mine off or my having asked them previously. I will be hanging a "Remove Shoes Please" at the door next winter. Wish me luck 🤞.
Canadians learn American and world history and geography in school. It is mind boggling to us that Americans don’t learn about North America as a whole and world history, not just about themselves in school.
maybe they don't talk about us in American schools so the teachers have a map to show American kids how BIG their country is without needing a comparison that wouldn't make sense? Idk
I'm Canadian and we always do that so that we don't drag in mud and sand and snow and whatever ,, and get the floors dirty , since we walk barefoot in the house , or with slippers
For the most part yes. We ABSOLUTELY leave our shoes on at the mall or in restaurants or in stores. There are some businesses, however, where they will have mats and signs requesting for you to take your shoes off and leave them at the door. Spas, Medical offices, nail salons... etc. I guess places where cleanliness is paramount.
@@crystalmprincess15 ALL healthcare in Canada is public. Most hospitals actually require footwear. And, a 8 hour wait? The most I have ever had where I live was 10 minutes, and even that was rare (they were very busy that day).
@@klondikechriswell, no…. Not all healthcare is public. Secondly, I’m a huge fan of our healthcare system…. I am part of it…. But it is flawed. That’s AMAZING that you can get in to see someone in ten minutes. I’ve worked across the country in ED and I can say that maybe 2-4 hours is an average.8 hours may be an over exaggeration, but given the context I had to wait 8 hours in is unreal.
The shoes off is definitely a part of being a Canadian, sometimes mostly during the summer when I go into a home and the host says “it’s ok keep your shoes on” I start panicking and I have to look underneath my shoes to make sure there’s no dirt! 😂
It's called courtesy, something the US doesn't seem to get! When my sister and I visited family in Iowa, they were shocked that we immediately removed our footwear when we walked in. Wearing outdoor footwear inside is a big No-No!!
Do you take off and put on your boots without tying/untying? That's an important Canadianism. That whole scene was loaded, 'cos we also always have every possible weather footwear ready to go as needed.
In Canada you also take your shoes/boots off when you go to a doctors office in the winter. They usually provide slippers or other footwear if you don’t want to be in just your socks
We have different bakeries and restaurants in my city based on the main nationality of the church in the area :) I’ve been buying lots of pirogies from the Ukrainian church lately ❤
When I used to watch US shows I'd see characters wearing shoes inside homes and even in bed! I thought it was just a actor/production thing for filming. After seeing some RUclipsrs talk about it though, I realized that's how it is in parts of the US. I was shocked, since I would never think of wearing shoes in someone's house unless I was specifically told to do so. If you wore shoes inside my mom's house, you wouldn't be invited back. Even now, if I wear shoes inside my own house, I can feel my mom's disapproval as she stares down at me.
I'm a Brit living in Canada and, sure, it's common to take your shoes off when entering a house but not universal. If the host does not say otherwise then you take your shoes off or you see some neatly arranged slippers in all sizes you take the hint but some hosts will just say "no, it's okay, leave your she's on" I found it really weird when I first came to Canada as its just not an expectation in the UK but I soon got used to it and now take my own slippers when visiting friends.
Icebergs show up every year off the coast of NL. One that showed up earlier this year was nicknamed the "D!ckyberg" and it was hilarious. You can go on tours to get close-ish and ice is harvested from them to make things like liquor and beer.
I think it's April and May when the icebergs start to make their way by NFLD. Iceberg Alley stretches from the coast of Labrador down to the southeast coast of Newfoundland. Lastly, as someone who has lived in Alberta most of her life, except the year I spent abroad studying in France, Albertans only wish they were the capital of the country, because if this was the case, Alberta would be at the seat of power and that would be an unmitigated disaster. Catastrophic on so many levels.
In Alberta we will be politely asked to take off shoes and boots in rainy or snowy seasons when in some office, clinics and such. But not in restaurants or grocery stores and larger buildings.
In the fall, people put on scarves and gloves as soon as it hits 10 °C because we just lived through +20 °C and +30°C, but in the spring, after we were hit by -20 °C and -30 ° temperatures, then 10 °C, suddenly feels very warm and people are ready for shorts and sandals lol!
Here in Newfoundland, we get Icebergs drift by and sometimes come into coves and inlets. Usually, they will be seen between April to June. They are very impressive to see.
Have spent about 80% of my life in Newfoundland, went on an Alaskan Cruise some years ago and going by a Glacier to see "icebergs calving" - me, that's just growlers and bergy bits.
@@eytonembury2858 If she lived in Alberta, for sure. My sister lives in Canmore, and loves telling me about the extremes she goes through in a day sometimes.
@@davidedwards3838 You're right, you take off your shoes in summer, too, again not to mess up the house, They showed a winter scene, though, which is why I wrote about winter. There's also rock salt on walks, steps, porches, etc.
Lol! The shoe vid is less about taking one's shoes off when entering a home, and more about the excessive number of pairs of shoes needed to handle the weather 😅
Absolutely. Each family member has shoes, winter boots, rubber boots, sandles, house shoes, slippers, dress up shoes, and sometimes crocs. I swear the footwear multiplys at each door. 😂
There are differences between a washroom, restroom, and bathroom. A washroom consists of 2 types of plumbing fixtures, a toilet(s) and sink(s) so you can "wash" your hands after using the toilet. A restroom (normally found in large department stores back in the day) consists of a washroom area and a second area which would have seating, usually one or two couches and some chairs, and have infant change tables (women's restroom). Restrooms were primarily in the " women's washroom", as it was mostly the women that did the bulk of shopping and/or searching for furniture and household items, often with infants/young kids in tow. This area would be where a mother could breast-feed her infant, rest her feet (heeled shoes were always worn back then), and have a cigarette if she smoked. There was normally some smaller toys, colouring books, and crayons to keep any other young children occupied. The men's restroom would have just couches and chairs. A bathroom consists of three or more different plumbing fixtures - a toilet, a sink, and a bathtub and/or shower.
This is a pretty good description but it hasn't held true with respect to "restrooms" in the US for a long time. Facilities at gas stations are called "restrooms". I'd say "washrooms" in Canada is the equivalent as "restrooms" in the US - these are usually public places where you can pee.
Of course you can throw concern to the wind and just declare "I need to go poo." And then start counting down from 30. Someone will start directing you. @@margaretjames6494
Yes, it’s extremely important to take your shoes off in someone’s home. It’s almost sacred. My American relatives visited once and didn’t take their shoes off. I watched my mother stare at their feet the entire visit. They had no idea how rude they were being. Now as a parent I ensure my children know to take their shoes off, even in American homes! They take their shoes off at the door and carry them through to the back door and put them on again.
For some reason this reminded me of a story from my parents about my brother dating a hippy girl in the 70s that didn't wear shoes and was barefoot all the time. My parents were dismayed when she visited the house barefoot. They were still upset decades later. 🙂
For this tiktok, I think the shoe thing isn't just taking them off in a home, but also the variety of shoes for different climates (boots, sandals, shoes). You need them all and who is wearing which ones when is sometimes surprising!
I love Coffee Crisp Chocolate bars. Here in Canada, Candy and Chocolate bars are considered two different things. Candies are those coloured things from boxes or bags, some of which have been sitting in the same glass bowl, in a doctors office or at grandmas, since the 1950's while bars are not candy.
tbh even coffee crisp isn't considered chocolate because in Canada it cannot be classified as "chocolate" or sold as "chocolate" unless it's made with cocoa butter. so look at the Coffee Crisp package closely and you'll see it called a "chocolatey candy"
I get annoyed when Americans in movies call a chocolate bar a “candy bar”. Candy makes me think of something gummy or visibly covered in sugar, or a hard candy lol.
The only mass produced bar available in Canada that would be called a candy bar that I've ever seen are the Planters nut bars. They are similar to Oh Henry but without chocolate. @@elishamk88
The man who guessed the capital correctly... DEFINITELY sounded Canadian to me (and I am a fellow Canadian). He had a very distinct way of saying Ottawa... lol
One of the guys who said Toronto said it in such a perfect Toronto accent that I think he must have been trolling. I've lived here most of my life, and he nailed the accent big time.
I am so surprised by how many Americans are shocked by ketchup chips. Ketchup is one of the most popular things to put on French fries (fried potatoes) so why wouldn't it be on potato chips (fried potatoes)?
Same with Salt and Vinegar chips. Apparently that's something only a few Americans have heard of. But to us it is normal for the same reason Ketchup chips are normal.
This American loves ketchup chips, and is sad that Humpty Dumpty is the only brand that routinely has them in the US (Well, the northern northeast US, anyway). There’s a brand called Herr’s based in PA that sometimes makes pretty good ripples ketchup chips, but I can only find them every once in a great while.
I’ve asked Americans what the capital of Canada is myself. The answers carried depending on where I was in the US. On the west coast people said Vancouver. One person said Alberta. I finally found one person who knew! He said that he had lived and worked in Canada for a few years though.
I was at a work convention in Wisconsin once (I'm Canadian) It was -13 celcius. I went for a morning jog, runners, shorts, T-shirt. Quite a few Americans looking at me like I was totally insane😂 A couple of guys changed direction and bee-lined toward me...couldn't figure out why - my American buddy suddenly yelled at them "ITS OK! HE'S CANADIAN! 😂😂😂 Turns out these fellows did think I had a screw loose, and were coming over to talk to make sure I didn't freeze to death. Personally I find it great to run in that weather. Don't get all hot and sweaty.😏 Also, it shows many Americans are caring to total strangers 👍
😂😂 funny. I did something similar in Vegas ,I went for a swim in the morning when it was 4degrees outside , some Americans and Mexicans thought I was crazy 😂
One of the reasons Canadians know a lot about the US is because for the most part at one time most of the TV stations were American due to the fact most people in Canada live not too far from the US border
Another reason is that I (and many other Canadian students who came up in the 80s and 90s) actually learned American history, geography and politics in elementary school and high school. I don’t believe (but could certainly be wrong) that Americans are taught any Canadian knowledge in their school system.
We have a lot of canadian TV since the start of tv! I'm from Québec, we have a lot of FRENCH tv stations! We know a lot about because of internet (and we are curious of others culture)! The only US program I was watching growing up was Fresh prince of Bel-air.
Keeping your shoes on indoors is the height of rudeness here! I have family in the States and when we go visit they insist that we leave our shoes on. But it feels too strange!
My partner is Asian, so I have double the footwear weirdness - take off shoes, put on the sandals. I can't stand wearing footwear in the house, and I get nagged for destroying socks, so I just go pagan barefoot hahah.
The "oh yeah no sure yeah!" Is absolutely right. We're addressing questions/ambiguity in advance, whether ours or our interlocutor. I dont know if I explain it right. It allows to skip over explanations and whatnot
5:45 yup a lot of us do this. From the video you can tell it’s not that cold from the snow melting plus the sun is out and a lot of us Canadian’s just don’t really about being cold for short periods of time. I used to do the exact same thing if I was going to the gym.
All dressed are all chip flavours mixed together. Ketchup, BBQ, sour cream and onion and salt and vinegar. They’re actually really good and can be found in some American stores
To answer your question about shoes in establishments there actually are several places that its common to be asked to remove your shoes, physiotherapy, chiropractors, massage practices, hair salons, nail salons, kids play places, etc. Also in our schools kids are expected to have a separate pair of indoor shoes to prevent wet floors
I’m 51, born and raised in BC (West Coast) we briefly had bagged milk in the 80’s , it was a novelty, then it disappeared. I haven’t seen bagged milk in decades. Many things are very region oriented because we are such a vast country with few people
I’ve been on trips to both Ontario and Quebec where I’ve seen bagged milk in stores, but the only place I’ve ever seen it here in the States was in my school’s cafeteria in the early 90s.
Yeah we had it in the 90s when I was a kid. I'm in BC as well and while I think maybe Island Farms or Dairyland might still have bagged milk out here... it is way more rare. Though, I am a little lactose intolerant now so I go for oat/rice milk now.
26:00 Milk bag tip. Everyone cuts one corner to pour out of. However pouring fast enough to fill the entire hole with milk creates a vacuum and the soft bag collapses, likely spilling milk. Wise people cut an additional small hole in the OPPOSITE corner to allow air to flow into the bag as milk flows out, producing a smooth, steady flow.
@@RandomNonsense1985 It still does, apple juice at the very least... but it's banished to the bottom shelf now because it hardly moves. I still have my old triangular hole puncher for them, getting rusty in the back of the utensil drawer.
In Canada you always take your shoes and boots off as soon as you enter someone's home. They will supply you slippers or you walk in the house in your socks. I don't allow anyone to wear shoes in my home unless they want to mop the floor or vacuum my rug.
growing up and in elementary school we had to learn the names of every state and their capitol cities plus all the geography, names of mountain ranges, where different minerals were ( coal, copper, iron ore etc. plus names of all the major rivers, history etc.
Because in Canada, it doesn't matter whether it's 10° on a winter day or 10° on a Spring day. It's the same, and when you're used to such cold temperatures during the winter, 10° in the Spring feels rather warm so we can wear shorts on both occasions
@@catherinelachapelle7222 i understand each response as a stand alone, and we all would with context. If we were having the conversation. But as it’s presented here. It sounds like gibberish to me too.
Snow on the ground does not mean that it's actually freezing. It could be a nice 5 degree Celsius day (perfect Canadian shorts weather) where the snow has not yet melted from the ground.
FYI that clip of the giant iceberg in Newfoundland isn't that unusual. The area itself is known as Iceberg Alley and it happens every year. This giant iceberg is pretty unusual though.
The “no no yeah yeah… no yeah for sure” thing is SO ACCURATE lolll I didn’t even know it was a Canadian thing only. No yeah I for sure talk like this. =P
I've noticed that in American TV shows and movies, shoes are seldom removed at the door. Especially on a rainy or snowy winter day. My ex-brother-in-law walked all the way through my parents' home once and a friend of mine, who was visiting, screamed at him to take his "blank" boots off. I loved it because it would have been impolite to tell him ourselves, and, he was a jerk lol.
The shoes thing.... my ex used to call and make false complaints to places like child services and the cops all the time (he's not well mentally). When they arrived once, they saw a bucket, mop and a wet floor. They hesitated for a full 30 seconds, looking at each other like it was the worst decision they'd ever have to make. I laughed and said "It's fine b'ys, the water's still hot and I can just give it another pass when you leave." One of them said "My grandmother wouldn't have been that nice". They had to keep their shoes on, but they stood in the hallway the entire time so that they wouldn't mess up the rest of the house. Hahaha.
Here's the thing about your reaction to the guy wearing shorts in the winter... you specifically point out that the woman walking by is "bundled up", yet fail to note that because she's wearing a skirt or dress, her legs are also bare. Women do this every winter, all the time, yet it's the guy in shorts that you find amazing. 😅
It didn't look like a freezing cold midwinter day to me anyway. It's just a guess, but the snow looks like the kind of March/April snowfall that isn't very heavy and falls at near freezing temperatures. It may have already been melting. It was probably above 0°C although it's impossible to tell how far above.
Back in the 70’s and 80’s (in my 20’s and 30’s), walking to work from the bus and subway in Toronto, in winter, I’d be wearing a mini skirt and a light coat. Maybe a heavier coat In really cold weather. I swapped out the heels for runners and carried my “dress” shoes in a bag, so I didn’t slip on patchy ice or slush. I don’t see any difference in wearing shorts for the fellas. 🇨🇦
In schools in Canada, it’s actually not completely uncommon for students to keep an extra pair of shoes at the school for either walking around inside or gym class for us. It’s a respectful way to keep the janitor from getting more than when they signed up for.
The shoes thing, the best I can tell, is because of the snow and sloppy weather, so we just do it all the time. Also kudos, I am very pleasantly surprised that you are more well versed regarding the "censorship" of Canadian news on Facebook than many Canadians.
Shoes off, when entering someone else's home, is certainly the default. Also many doctor/dentist offices and clinics will ask the same of you, and have a little basket of slippers for you to swap your shoes with. Exceptions exist. When my income was lower, I lived in a rooming house (an old, large house renovated to rent out the individual bedrooms to multiple tenants). We attempted to institute a shoes-off-at-the-entrance policy to keep the floors clean, but only a couple of us cared to do so, therefore unless we wanted to step on road stones and mud in our socks, the more civilized of us also had to keep our shoes on at least until we got to our own bedroom doors, and put them back on to go to the bathroom or cook in the kitchen, do laundry, etc. I'm glad I don't live there anymore.
@@kyleellis1825 My family doctor, and my dentist, both have shoe trays outside their carpeted waiting rooms, in the hallway, and a sign explaining what they're for for the slow types. My mother's physiotherapist has his own clinic (renovated from a house). Shoe rack and a basket of house slippers there. It might depend on the building. You don't take your shoes off in a hospital, for example.
@@kyleellis1825 (blink blink) I would not have considered that. ...Also, none of my doctors or dentists have been interested in my income level. Not especially fancy places, their offices, but the shoes ARE being removed and left inside the hallways, not outside the building. Office buildings, not apartment buildings, so it's not like folks are just wandering through without reason.
@@hinoron6528 Yes, I understand what places you're talking about. Just be happy you don't have at least one person high on who knows what in the waiting room every time I show up.
So in TikTok Part 5 it was pointed out that we get higher pitched as we talk and finish in a lower tone. Well watching this one I've noticed that he STARTS OUT higher pitched and gets deeper the longer he talks. LMAO
I wear my outdoor shoes/boots to work and then change into my indoor/work shoes! We do this as kids in school, and maybe it’s because most of the year is winter and wet/snow we don’t want to track it into some places. At my doctors office, physical therapy clinic, Nerologist’s office we take our shoes off entering the medical clinic and leave our shoes/boots at the door. 😊
Ketchup may be Malaysian in origin but it's a popular condiment in Canada. We put it on lots of things: French fries, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers, etc. Putting it on chips isn't a stretch as it's really just potato and ketchup.
Ketchup is an absolute staple in our house and we literally can’t eat if we’re out of it. I will NOT eat grilled cheese without ketchup. My kids are worse, we were out once and as I called out their lunch options it was all “No”, “No”, “Not without ketchup”, “you know I can’t eat that without ketchup Mom”. In the end I had to make a ketchup run lol
The reasoning behind ketchup flavoured chips is as you guessed, ketchup on fries. Fries and chips are both potato, so it shouldn't be that strange to have ketchup chips. As for the popcorn seasoning, I think that stems from the chips, so many people love ketchup chips.
The best I can understand it- whether or not you take your shoes off when entering a house is regional in the USA but here in Canada it seems to be a thing from coast to coast..
When a Canadian say “you’re welcome, eh?”, and you haven’t said “Thank you.”, they’re telling you off. They’re making a point that you should have said “Thank you.”.
We used to joke in University or at staff parties that you wrap up 45min before you want to leave the party. So you have enough time to dig through the pile of shoes by the door to find your matching set
As a female who grew up in the fifties and sixties, it amazes me that people express surprise about men wearing shorts in the winter. What makes that different from the skirts I was forced to wear to school in Michigan? In fact I developed a sensitivity and often ended up with hives on my knees, which were between the skirt and the knee socks.
We found your channel recently and thoughoughly enjoy watching each episode. Your information is very good, although I can definitely say that there are Cheetos here. I appreciate the fact that you're an American with an open mind who realizes that things may different in different places and the fact that you definitely want to learn. Keep up the good work!
I always suspected you were not American, but Canadian. Now that you said "If I was 100 meters aways, 20 meters away" and then corrected yourself by saying feet, I was satisfied. Got you! Thanks! You're entertaining.
That’s how my teenagers talk when they are on their phones - they don’t want their parents to know anything about their personal lives, so they talk in “code”.
I think the pattern of the Canadian "no, yeah, no, for sure" reply comes from the way our questions are phrased. For instance, a friend may say something like "You wouldn't mind picking me up, would you?". If you break it down and answer each part of the sentence, it turns into - "You wouldn't mind? > NO / picking me up? > YEAH / Would you? > NO, i wouldn't mind....SURE, i can do that."
I am a shorts-in-the-winter person and I can explain! There are just some Canadians who's antifreeze blood seems to only flow through our legs. Our upper half doesn't seem to keep warmth like our lower half, so we regulate our body temperature by exposing the heat-making part so we don't overheat.
As a born and raised Ontarian who moved to Alberta 5 years ago, I never thought much about the bagged milk thing until I moved here, and can only get milk in cartons or jugs. From what I understand, bagged milk is only an Ontario and Quebec thing and only came about because of the switch from gallons to litres. Also fun fact, the colours on milk bags or container are associated with the fat content, skim is green, 1% is white, 2% is blue and 4% homo (homogenized or whole milk) is red, not sure if that's a thing in the US.
Every spring in Newfoundland icebergs show up from Greenland. (Greenland is all about the ice while Iceland is green) There is such a place as Iceberg Alley. Every year there are some pretty amazing photos. I have been but not seen the huge ones.
So the proper ritual for the shoes things is - guest says “I’ll just take off my shoes” - host says “no, no, no don’t worry about it - guest has already started taking them off and say “no, no it’s ok, I already started anyway”
Dude, I'm in Newfoundland, we get icebergs every year in the early summer. They are tracked 100% from beginning to end. We are not alarmed. There was no iceberg the size of London here, this is bulshit which you should have gotten from the voice and music
As far as the milk bag hole goes, many of us Canadians master the hole at a young age. It is if you do not double tap the milk carton, or so, the bag does not travel down into it far enough then you make a huge mess :P Thanks for these vids, Give some good laughs and to know some do not think we are all stupid !! lol.
Not all Canadians know what a milk bag is. We don't have them in Alberta, although I do remember we had them briefly in the 70's when I was in elementary school more than 40 years ago. My mom had one of those blue pitchers for the bag.
Canadian here and EVERY time you mentioned ketchup flavoring my mouth waters, the all dressed chips are like an all dressed pizza but salty, coffee crisp is super airy with wafers and a mello flavor. Evjoy
You should order a Canadian snack box and do a reaction to trying our snacks, it would be worth it. You'd be able to try Ketchup chips (don't really taste like ketchup), All Dressed (not really sure what they taste like) and Dill Pickle chips as well as our great assortment of unique chocolate bars and candies.

You need to be a Canadian to understand EVERY aspect of the "take shoes off" video. We take our shoes off by reflex all year round because we are so used to taking them off to avoid snow, sleet, dirt or rain throughout the house, which honestly is almost the whole year 😅, but what you failed to notice is just how many DIFFERENT type of footwear there is, because with our weather we need footwear of all seasons at all times all year round 😂.
Yep, and it's impolite to wear in shoes in someone's house unless you ask if it's okay first.
The salt from the roads in winter is another reason you gotta be careful not to be wearing your footwear through the house
That to - what registered to me was the whole socks getting eaten by the boots situation😂
Okay it is true that we all take our boots off in a single movement haha. We don't necessarily spend time tying or untying - we just find the happy middle point and leave it at that. But the main joke there is that she had footwear for every possible weather condition, which is definitely a Canadian thing. The mud room is usually a huge pile of in and out of season footwear.
Several times I've taken the trash out with my house slippers on. Only to take them off after coming back in.
When I lived in the US, there was nothing more aggravating than having someone come over, offering them a polite invitation “take off your shoes and come on in”, only to have them march right in with their footwear still on. It really pushed the limits of what Canadian hospitality and politeness will tolerate.
I've had people take off their shoes and have sweaty socks or be barefoot, leaving marks all over my floor. In that case - keep your shoes on!
I wouldn’t think about walking in someone’s house without taking my shoes off!
@@j.h.3777 id rather have your wet sock on my floor than your dusty shoes to scrape my wooden floor.
Mainly when it's cold and wet outside, you don't want to track mud and dirt all over the house. So everyone tosses their dirty shoes and boots off near the entrance.
Just so that, you aren't worrying about tracking dirt all over someoneelses house.
Capital of the US is Washington, DC.
In Canada you take off your shoes when you come in the house. It’s second nature like putting on your seatbelt when you get in the car. At a house party the door is usually blocked by shoes. For me it’s not just about mud and dirt, it about the germs you track in. Think about it you wear those shoes in stores, nasty public bathrooms, public transportation etc.
THIS! My mom cared way more about a clean house-including no germs. WHY would want shoes that have been in public places on your clean floors and carpet??
At home, I usually take off my outside footwear, and put on my house slippers. If I run around without any shoes on at all, I stub my toes and I hate that.
Clean house, in my indigenous community it was about the energy too
Icebergs routinely show up on Newfoundland's coast; I was there in May 2023. Counted 27 icebergs on the horizon from a lookout at the lighthouse in Twillingate; did an iceberg boat tour following day - got very close to some - they are truly massive in size - also got to take away a small chunk of ice from an iceberg; enjoyed the 10 000 year old ice with a fine whiskey.
Bergie Bits!!!
I'm a Canadian living in Canada and even I find it bizarre when I see people in the cold of winter wearing shorts, tank top and flip flops while everyone else is bundled up trying to stay warm.
There's ALWAYS the odd person that defies the cold weather by dressing in summer clothes!😂😂
Some people are just built different clearly (As a fellow Canadian I too am baffled, and usually/most often it's the guys I see do this)
I'm croat living in Saskatchewan, and i love to get out on deck in winter with my shorts on, snow boots, and a jacket filled with cobra chicken feathers. To be honest if my torso and feet are warm, my legs are burning and nice -35 breeze is kinda nice, like a wind in summer 😂
It's always that ONE person lol
That video was obviously in the spring..not dead of winter.
March or April probably.
All the snow had melted but they got a skif overnight.
The “open door” thing still happens more often than you think.😂💕🇨🇦😊
Tyler I'll explain the shorts and flip flops in winter. -10 in the fall is waaay colder than -10 in the spring. We become acclimatized to cold during the -30 season so in the spring when the sun is hot, -10 is almost nothing. In the fall we are used to +30 so anything below 8 is getting chilly.
Bingo. You win a Timmies! Ironically, I always see people walking from Tim Hortons in mid Feb and March with a tray of coffees, in their shorts, breathing steam everywhere. It's a joy 'cos you know it means Spring is coming!
and is why i'm happy with a -40 day. cause anything after that feels like spring
@@itsLemontreeI just googled the C to F conversion, and, holy shit, -40F is also -40C, despite 40F being only 4.5C.
Truth!
I remember when the temperature dropped to -54C for a week.... then -38C felt warm....
Day 9 petitioning for Tyler to go on a cross Canada trip 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I support this initiative. We should crowd fund it.
If he does not have the money he could do a go fund me I am sure a lot of people including me would help him out
I think he's ready.
Hey Tyler, Start a go fund me page to travel Canada coast coast and let your viewers know about it with a link to contribute. I would think your fans would definitely contribute. Your personality is fantastic and I love your show. Don't think of it as charity rather an education in Canada scholarship. Keep up the good work Tyler! I never miss a show.
Your friend in High River (basically Calgary)Alberta. I would definitely take you on a sight seeing trip to our local sights.
Your show is wonderful, keep it up bro!!!!
There nothing to see sadly.. 😢
When we were visiting my relatives in Scotland, my cousin came home and saw the shoes at the front door. He said, "The Canadians are here!". At that point I realized that we Canadians were sort of known for taking our shoes off before entering a house.
Loll too funny. Y track dirt in the house
It's automatic, we take our shoes off at the front door and I put my slippers on.
We do the same thing in Norway. It’s unheard of to not take your shoes of. Maybe it’s got something to do with the weather, there’s snow, salt and dirty snow from the streets, muddy in fall, in the spring it’s a lot of dirt from what was laying under the snow etc. You don’t wanna bring that into your house!
@@MonicaMaria2175 exactly
Many cultures remove their shoes before entry.
I'm Canadian and did graphic design. Fun Fact: Legally packaging in Canada has to have a accurate nutrition label and everything has to have English and French. They are called "Food labeling regulations". In Canada packaging has to have a "Best before" date and can't have health claims such as whole grain or organic. (those product need special certifications, I believe.) Also, I think the capitol of the USA is Washington D.C.!? Do I get money ;P.
As a Canadian, I'm more focused on the wide assortment of shoes for different weather conditions. It's October currently, so I have sandals, wet boots, warmer boots, and running shoes currently on the go, lol
I also have inside shoes and slippers 😅
Once the weather is more stable then I put shoes away on a rack.
🤣I too have all those & balcony/patio flip flops, & take-away slippers when going to someone's home. lol
Yep. We can barely open the front door right now for all the shoes.
Yep, I have a rack for all my shoes, bootsand sleepers when I come home😂
Taking shoes off helps keep the house clean. It's about being considerate. Our grandmothers would hit us with wooden spoons if you forget, and you don't want to mess with a Canadian grandmother armed with a wooden spoon.
My mother always called it her “magic wand”. When she waved it, the kids were good!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH THE CANADIAN GRANDMOTHER PART IS TOO TRUE
😂 yes I have witnessed gran's spoon. It was shocking when I had invited in-laws to our home & father-in-law didn't remove shoes...I wouldn't use a spoon but verbal direction worked. I don't think he liked me much but I adored Lady mother-in-law.
My grandmother preferred for us to keep our shoes on... it was the oils in our feet that ruined the carpets (according to her)
my granny was chill about that because:
1-she was raised on a chicken farm.
2-she was a "garden grandma" who tracked more dirt than anyone else in her house.
3-WHEN it was required to take off your shoes there was a hedgerow of bootracks pass the front door.
I love how Tyler is so well versed in Canadian Geography, he cringed when someone said Alberta and laughed when someone answered Quebec.
In Canada, that "Yeah, no, yes, no" conversation is technically not a conversation, but more so just how you respond to someone talking to you, but it usually depends on the context. On the phone that's usually what I'll overhear other people say when making plans, but it will still have some actual talking sprinkled in. The TikTok is more of an exaggeration, but yeah, a lot of "yeahs", "nos" and "sures" when talking with someone you know in Canada.
Canadian here. I winter down in Arizona. It drives me nuts that American neighbours just walk on in with their shoes even after seeing me take mine off or my having asked them previously. I will be hanging a "Remove Shoes Please" at the door next winter. Wish me luck 🤞.
Canadians learn American and world history and geography in school. It is mind boggling to us that Americans don’t learn about North America as a whole and world history, not just about themselves in school.
the US has a massive ego. And they show it in their schooling.
No we don't talk like that. Yeah yeah no no
maybe they don't talk about us in American schools so the teachers have a map to show American kids how BIG their country is without needing a comparison that wouldn't make sense? Idk
The reason lots of Americans don't know the provinces or capitals is because the map just fades off when it gets to the edge.
I'm Canadian and we always do that so that we don't drag in mud and sand and snow and whatever ,, and get the floors dirty , since we walk barefoot in the house , or with slippers
For the most part yes. We ABSOLUTELY leave our shoes on at the mall or in restaurants or in stores. There are some businesses, however, where they will have mats and signs requesting for you to take your shoes off and leave them at the door. Spas, Medical offices, nail salons... etc. I guess places where cleanliness is paramount.
In Dawson City, Yukon the hospital has a sign telling us to specifically keep our shoes on!
@@klondikechris I guess I can understand both sides to that. But removing your shoes to wait for 8 hours in a public healthcare line???? Unacceptable.
@@crystalmprincess15 ALL healthcare in Canada is public. Most hospitals actually require footwear. And, a 8 hour wait? The most I have ever had where I live was 10 minutes, and even that was rare (they were very busy that day).
@@klondikechris oh I work in healthcare, so I understand. I didn’t mean to criticize our healthcare. It’s very good, just could be better.
@@klondikechriswell, no…. Not all healthcare is public. Secondly, I’m a huge fan of our healthcare system…. I am part of it…. But it is flawed. That’s AMAZING that you can get in to see someone in ten minutes. I’ve worked across the country in ED and I can say that maybe 2-4 hours is an average.8 hours may be an over exaggeration, but given the context I had to wait 8 hours in is unreal.
The shoes off is definitely a part of being a Canadian, sometimes mostly during the summer when I go into a home and the host says “it’s ok keep your shoes on” I start panicking and I have to look underneath my shoes to make sure there’s no dirt! 😂
It's called courtesy, something the US doesn't seem to get! When my sister and I visited family in Iowa, they were shocked that we immediately removed our footwear when we walked in. Wearing outdoor footwear inside is a big No-No!!
I take them off anyway while apologizing for it.
I need orthotic insoles and can't walk barefoot, so I bring a clean pair of shoes when i go to people's houses and change shoes when I enter.
Haha same! Summer is the only time I allow people to wear shoes in my house
Do you take off and put on your boots without tying/untying? That's an important Canadianism. That whole scene was loaded, 'cos we also always have every possible weather footwear ready to go as needed.
In Canada you also take your shoes/boots off when you go to a doctors office in the winter. They usually provide slippers or other footwear if you don’t want to be in just your socks
Yep! At my doctors office it’s a requirement year round, same with the dentist and massage places!
As a cleaning lady, I love offices that do this. Makes my life so much easier in winter.
Canada is very diverse. We have many non Canadian food items in our grocery stores, not just German candy.
We have different bakeries and restaurants in my city based on the main nationality of the church in the area :) I’ve been buying lots of pirogies from the Ukrainian church lately ❤
When I used to watch US shows I'd see characters wearing shoes inside homes and even in bed! I thought it was just a actor/production thing for filming. After seeing some RUclipsrs talk about it though, I realized that's how it is in parts of the US. I was shocked, since I would never think of wearing shoes in someone's house unless I was specifically told to do so. If you wore shoes inside my mom's house, you wouldn't be invited back. Even now, if I wear shoes inside my own house, I can feel my mom's disapproval as she stares down at me.
I'm a Brit living in Canada and, sure, it's common to take your shoes off when entering a house but not universal. If the host does not say otherwise then you take your shoes off or you see some neatly arranged slippers in all sizes you take the hint but some hosts will just say "no, it's okay, leave your she's on" I found it really weird when I first came to Canada as its just not an expectation in the UK but I soon got used to it and now take my own slippers when visiting friends.
Icebergs show up every year off the coast of NL. One that showed up earlier this year was nicknamed the "D!ckyberg" and it was hilarious. You can go on tours to get close-ish and ice is harvested from them to make things like liquor and beer.
I love how it was first spotted by a man from Dildo NL. This makes me proud to be a maritimer.
I think it's April and May when the icebergs start to make their way by NFLD. Iceberg Alley stretches from the coast of Labrador down to the southeast coast of Newfoundland.
Lastly, as someone who has lived in Alberta most of her life, except the year I spent abroad studying in France, Albertans only wish they were the capital of the country, because if this was the case, Alberta would be at the seat of power and that would be an unmitigated disaster. Catastrophic on so many levels.
In Alberta we will be politely asked to take off shoes and boots in rainy or snowy seasons when in some office, clinics and such. But not in restaurants or grocery stores and larger buildings.
In the fall, people put on scarves and gloves as soon as it hits 10 °C because we just lived through +20 °C and +30°C, but in the spring, after we were hit by -20 °C and -30 ° temperatures, then 10 °C, suddenly feels very warm and people are ready for shorts and sandals lol!
Here in Newfoundland, we get Icebergs drift by and sometimes come into coves and inlets. Usually, they will be seen between April to June. They are very impressive to see.
Have spent about 80% of my life in Newfoundland, went on an Alaskan Cruise some years ago and going by a Glacier to see "icebergs calving" - me, that's just growlers and bergy bits.
As large as London might be a little of an over exaggeration
Iceberg alley. Haven’t you heard about it?
Part of the shoe joke is that we need so many different kinds of shoes throughout the year
Or, that many shoes in one day.
@@eytonembury2858 If she lived in Alberta, for sure. My sister lives in Canmore, and loves telling me about the extremes she goes through in a day sometimes.
You take your shoes off in winter so you don't track road salt around the house. It stains things.
You take your shoes off year round in canada. Not just the winter.
Also not every province uses roar salt.
It’s done in Japan and Korea too
Including your car
@@davidedwards3838 You're right, you take off your shoes in summer, too, again not to mess up the house, They showed a winter scene, though, which is why I wrote about winter. There's also rock salt on walks, steps, porches, etc.
You are right,, Americans get confused easily.
Lol! The shoe vid is less about taking one's shoes off when entering a home, and more about the excessive number of pairs of shoes needed to handle the weather 😅
Absolutely. Each family member has shoes, winter boots, rubber boots, sandles, house shoes, slippers, dress up shoes, and sometimes crocs. I swear the footwear multiplys at each door. 😂
I never understood needing some many types of shoes I only ever have Winter Boots and Sneakers for any given time
I am from Saskatchewan and I understood that conversation completely 😂
Same here lol
There are differences between a washroom, restroom, and bathroom. A washroom consists of 2 types of plumbing fixtures, a toilet(s) and sink(s) so you can "wash" your hands after using the toilet.
A restroom (normally found in large department stores back in the day) consists of a washroom area and a second area which would have seating, usually one or two couches and some chairs, and have infant change tables (women's restroom). Restrooms were primarily in the " women's washroom", as it was mostly the women that did the bulk of shopping and/or searching for furniture and household items, often with infants/young kids in tow. This area would be where a mother could breast-feed her infant, rest her feet (heeled shoes were always worn back then), and have a cigarette if she smoked. There was normally some smaller toys, colouring books, and crayons to keep any other young children occupied. The men's restroom would have just couches and chairs.
A bathroom consists of three or more different plumbing fixtures - a toilet, a sink, and a bathtub and/or shower.
As a liscensed plumber, the technically correct term is water closet. Rest/Wash/Bath is just regional nowadays.
This is a pretty good description but it hasn't held true with respect to "restrooms" in the US for a long time. Facilities at gas stations are called "restrooms". I'd say "washrooms" in Canada is the equivalent as "restrooms" in the US - these are usually public places where you can pee.
Of course you can throw concern to the wind and just declare "I need to go poo." And then start counting down from 30. Someone will start directing you. @@margaretjames6494
I just say I’m going to the can!
Yes .. I remember the restrooms in large department stores.. like Towers.... KMart.... Woolco/Woolworths... Sears... and The Bay.
Yes, it’s extremely important to take your shoes off in someone’s home. It’s almost sacred. My American relatives visited once and didn’t take their shoes off. I watched my mother stare at their feet the entire visit. They had no idea how rude they were being. Now as a parent I ensure my children know to take their shoes off, even in American homes! They take their shoes off at the door and carry them through to the back door and put them on again.
For some reason this reminded me of a story from my parents about my brother dating a hippy girl in the 70s that didn't wear shoes and was barefoot all the time. My parents were dismayed when she visited the house barefoot. They were still upset decades later. 🙂
Down here in the States whether or not you take your shoes off inside differs from house to house.
For this tiktok, I think the shoe thing isn't just taking them off in a home, but also the variety of shoes for different climates (boots, sandals, shoes). You need them all and who is wearing which ones when is sometimes surprising!
I appreciate and respect how you make an effort to learn about our country.
4:03 we actually have iceberg season on the east coast where tons ice drift around the east coast
I love Coffee Crisp Chocolate bars. Here in Canada, Candy and Chocolate bars are considered two different things. Candies are those coloured things from boxes or bags, some of which have been sitting in the same glass bowl, in a doctors office or at grandmas, since the 1950's while bars are not candy.
tbh even coffee crisp isn't considered chocolate because in Canada it cannot be classified as "chocolate" or sold as "chocolate" unless it's made with cocoa butter. so look at the Coffee Crisp package closely and you'll see it called a "chocolatey candy"
I get annoyed when Americans in movies call a chocolate bar a “candy bar”. Candy makes me think of something gummy or visibly covered in sugar, or a hard candy lol.
The only mass produced bar available in Canada that would be called a candy bar that I've ever seen are the Planters nut bars. They are similar to Oh Henry but without chocolate. @@elishamk88
Same with Heinz not technically being ketchup in France.@@kweeniepiez

One of the guys who said Toronto said it in such a perfect Toronto accent that I think he must have been trolling. I've lived here most of my life, and he nailed the accent big time.
@@KarstenJohanssonI thought the same! 🤣 Only someone who has spent a lot of time in Toronto says “Trawna”.
@karenneill9109 I've never been to Toronto & I pretty much say it like that
I am so surprised by how many Americans are shocked by ketchup chips. Ketchup is one of the most popular things to put on French fries (fried potatoes) so why wouldn't it be on potato chips (fried potatoes)?
Same with Salt and Vinegar chips. Apparently that's something only a few Americans have heard of. But to us it is normal for the same reason Ketchup chips are normal.
Fun fact: In Belgium they use mayo. I use tartar sauce. Hey a dip is a dip. I would never put a tomato on a baked potato! 😂
@@leecox6241 But do you have Mayo chips !?
This American loves ketchup chips, and is sad that Humpty Dumpty is the only brand that routinely has them in the US (Well, the northern northeast US, anyway). There’s a brand called Herr’s based in PA that sometimes makes pretty good ripples ketchup chips, but I can only find them every once in a great while.
@@KarstenJohanssonSalt and vinegar chips are pretty damn common where I am in northern NY. They used to make me pucker when I was a kid.
Thankyou for the laughs. I was almost crying at Puffs Souffles. Omg
I’ve asked Americans what the capital of Canada is myself. The answers carried depending on where I was in the US. On the west coast people said Vancouver. One person said Alberta. I finally found one person who knew! He said that he had lived and worked in Canada for a few years though.
I was at a work convention in Wisconsin once (I'm Canadian) It was -13 celcius. I went for a morning jog, runners, shorts, T-shirt. Quite a few Americans looking at me like I was totally insane😂 A couple of guys changed direction and bee-lined toward me...couldn't figure out why - my American buddy suddenly yelled at them "ITS OK! HE'S CANADIAN! 😂😂😂 Turns out these fellows did think I had a screw loose, and were coming over to talk to make sure I didn't freeze to death. Personally I find it great to run in that weather. Don't get all hot and sweaty.😏 Also, it shows many Americans are caring to total strangers 👍
Strange, because Wisconsin gets as cold as Canada in the winter.
@@terryomalley1974 Yep it sure does!, (hence the cold temp while I was there) but at least where I was, nobody was wearing shorts.
@@dallasburgess5329 They're obviously smarter than these young twerps in Canada trying to make a misguided statement.
😂😂 funny.
I did something similar in Vegas ,I went for a swim in the morning when it was 4degrees outside , some Americans and Mexicans thought I was crazy 😂
"ITS OK! HE'S CANADIAN!" That's awesome! 🙂
One of the reasons Canadians know a lot about the US is because for the most part at one time most of the TV stations were American due to the fact most people in Canada live not too far from the US border
Another reason is that I (and many other Canadian students who came up in the 80s and 90s) actually learned American history, geography and politics in elementary school and high school. I don’t believe (but could certainly be wrong) that Americans are taught any Canadian knowledge in their school system.
We have a lot of canadian TV since the start of tv! I'm from Québec, we have a lot of FRENCH tv stations! We know a lot about because of internet (and we are curious of others culture)! The only US program I was watching growing up was Fresh prince of Bel-air.
Keeping your shoes on indoors is the height of rudeness here! I have family in the States and when we go visit they insist that we leave our shoes on. But it feels too strange!
My partner is Asian, so I have double the footwear weirdness - take off shoes, put on the sandals. I can't stand wearing footwear in the house, and I get nagged for destroying socks, so I just go pagan barefoot hahah.
It's unnatural
The "oh yeah no sure yeah!" Is absolutely right. We're addressing questions/ambiguity in advance, whether ours or our interlocutor. I dont know if I explain it right. It allows to skip over explanations and whatnot
5:45 yup a lot of us do this. From the video you can tell it’s not that cold from the snow melting plus the sun is out and a lot of us Canadian’s just don’t really about being cold for short periods of time. I used to do the exact same thing if I was going to the gym.
As a Canadian, I love your videos! Very entertaining, and I lived in Florida for a while so I can relate to a lot of the topics you cover. Great job!!
Canada has a free trade agreement with the EU so we have all kinds of wonderful European candies and foods now. It’s quite nice 👍🏻
Haribo is certainly a thing here in Toronto. I didn't know it was German, and actually thought it was Japanese. D'oh!
We have all kinds of Haribo gummy candies in the USA. It's not just a Canadian thing. They are sold at Dollar Tree as well.
All dressed are all chip flavours mixed together. Ketchup, BBQ, sour cream and onion and salt and vinegar. They’re actually really good and can be found in some American stores
To answer your question about shoes in establishments there actually are several places that its common to be asked to remove your shoes, physiotherapy, chiropractors, massage practices, hair salons, nail salons, kids play places, etc. Also in our schools kids are expected to have a separate pair of indoor shoes to prevent wet floors
I’m 51, born and raised in BC (West Coast) we briefly had bagged milk in the 80’s , it was a novelty, then it disappeared. I haven’t seen bagged milk in decades. Many things are very region oriented because we are such a vast country with few people
I'm 35 in saskatchewan and haven't seen bagged Milk since childhood
Im 35 in New Brunswick and I saw bagged milk in sobeys yesterday.
I’ve been on trips to both Ontario and Quebec where I’ve seen bagged milk in stores, but the only place I’ve ever seen it here in the States was in my school’s cafeteria in the early 90s.
They have bagged milk in Ontario but I think it's changing soon or already has.
Yeah we had it in the 90s when I was a kid. I'm in BC as well and while I think maybe Island Farms or Dairyland might still have bagged milk out here... it is way more rare. Though, I am a little lactose intolerant now so I go for oat/rice milk now.
Like i have said before, you need to set up a P.O. Box so we can send you some awesome Canadian treats.
I second this. I will send you every kind of ketchup and all dressed chips, and a coffee crisp
Agreed!
We need an address to send you Canadian things to try!
26:00 Milk bag tip. Everyone cuts one corner to pour out of. However pouring fast enough to fill the entire hole with milk creates a vacuum and the soft bag collapses, likely spilling milk. Wise people cut an additional small hole in the OPPOSITE corner to allow air to flow into the bag as milk flows out, producing a smooth, steady flow.
I do this with 1L juice boxes. Keeps splash back from blurping.
Same concept as poking two holes in a juice can, back when juice still came in cans.
@@RandomNonsense1985 It still does, apple juice at the very least... but it's banished to the bottom shelf now because it hardly moves. I still have my old triangular hole puncher for them, getting rusty in the back of the utensil drawer.
In Canada you always take your shoes and boots off as soon as you enter someone's home. They will supply you slippers or you walk in the house in your socks. I don't allow anyone to wear shoes in my home unless they want to mop the floor or vacuum my rug.
They're called bathrooms when there is a bath or shower to bathe. A washroom is just toilet/urinal and a sink
growing up and in elementary school we had to learn the names of every state and their capitol cities plus all the geography, names of mountain ranges, where different minerals were ( coal, copper, iron ore etc. plus names of all the major rivers, history etc.
It was grade 5 in Saskatchewan that I think I had to learn the states and capitals
From Northern Ontario we learned the exact curriculum. I enjoyed it immensely, who doesn't like learning about other countries on our planet.🇨🇦
Americans don't even know their own country.
Because in Canada, it doesn't matter whether it's 10° on a winter day or 10° on a Spring day. It's the same, and when you're used to such cold temperatures during the winter, 10° in the Spring feels rather warm so we can wear shorts on both occasions
I think when people see big snow banks they assume it’s super cold but there are often really nice days even though there is snow on the ground.
We call it shorts & sweater weather

I’m Canadian and it confused me too. Still don’t get it lol.
@@catherinelachapelle7222 i understand each response as a stand alone, and we all would with context. If we were having the conversation.

Probably on more than one occasion! 😂
As a canadian, the oh yeah no no, bit made me cackle xD
I love the phone conversation 😂😂 we definitely talk like that and sounds like shes basically just saying yeah and definitely alot
Snow on the ground does not mean that it's actually freezing. It could be a nice 5 degree Celsius day (perfect Canadian shorts weather) where the snow has not yet melted from the ground.
FYI that clip of the giant iceberg in Newfoundland isn't that unusual. The area itself is known as Iceberg Alley and it happens every year. This giant iceberg is pretty unusual though.
You are on your game today Tyler. Very bright and witty and animated. Good example of how one of these kinds of reactions should be done. WTG Bud. 👏🍻
When Travelling to Hill City, SD, it is so nice the local grocery store brings in Clamato and Ginger ale-Two essential Canada beverage mixes.
The “no no yeah yeah… no yeah for sure” thing is SO ACCURATE lolll I didn’t even know it was a Canadian thing only. No yeah I for sure talk like this. =P
I've noticed that in American TV shows and movies, shoes are seldom removed at the door. Especially on a rainy or snowy winter day. My ex-brother-in-law walked all the way through my parents' home once and a friend of mine, who was visiting, screamed at him to take his "blank" boots off. I loved it because it would have been impolite to tell him ourselves, and, he was a jerk lol.
That always annoyed me about American shows.
The shoes thing.... my ex used to call and make false complaints to places like child services and the cops all the time (he's not well mentally). When they arrived once, they saw a bucket, mop and a wet floor. They hesitated for a full 30 seconds, looking at each other like it was the worst decision they'd ever have to make. I laughed and said "It's fine b'ys, the water's still hot and I can just give it another pass when you leave."
One of them said "My grandmother wouldn't have been that nice". They had to keep their shoes on, but they stood in the hallway the entire time so that they wouldn't mess up the rest of the house. Hahaha.
That is one thing, I wish more Canadians understood that repairmen usually can't take off safety boots. It's your home, it's their jobsite.
A lot of repairmen in Canada put covers on their boots when they come in to a home.
@@kyleellis1825I've never had a repairman not take his shoes or boots off when coming into my house.
What kind of repairs? Because if power tools come out, technically they should have steel toes on. @@carolmclean8513
Here's the thing about your reaction to the guy wearing shorts in the winter... you specifically point out that the woman walking by is "bundled up", yet fail to note that because she's wearing a skirt or dress, her legs are also bare. Women do this every winter, all the time, yet it's the guy in shorts that you find amazing. 😅
It didn't look like a freezing cold midwinter day to me anyway. It's just a guess, but the snow looks like the kind of March/April snowfall that isn't very heavy and falls at near freezing temperatures. It may have already been melting. It was probably above 0°C although it's impossible to tell how far above.
Back in the 70’s and 80’s (in my 20’s and 30’s), walking to work from the bus and subway in Toronto, in winter, I’d be wearing a mini skirt and a light coat. Maybe a heavier coat In really cold weather. I swapped out the heels for runners and carried my “dress” shoes in a bag, so I didn’t slip on patchy ice or slush. I don’t see any difference in wearing shorts for the fellas. 🇨🇦
I noticed that too.
Don't hold the door open in winter. Heat costs money
@@barrylangille3523yeah looked mild
You are very well versed in Canadian culture for laughing at the lady saying Quebec. 😂 I laughed, and I'm from Quebec!
In schools in Canada, it’s actually not completely uncommon for students to keep an extra pair of shoes at the school for either walking around inside or gym class for us. It’s a respectful way to keep the janitor from getting more than when they signed up for.
It also preserves the floors. Salt is so hard on the finish.
The shoes thing, the best I can tell, is because of the snow and sloppy weather, so we just do it all the time. Also kudos, I am very pleasantly surprised that you are more well versed regarding the "censorship" of Canadian news on Facebook than many Canadians.
you take your shoes off coming in a house, no matter the season.
Shoes off, when entering someone else's home, is certainly the default. Also many doctor/dentist offices and clinics will ask the same of you, and have a little basket of slippers for you to swap your shoes with.
Exceptions exist. When my income was lower, I lived in a rooming house (an old, large house renovated to rent out the individual bedrooms to multiple tenants). We attempted to institute a shoes-off-at-the-entrance policy to keep the floors clean, but only a couple of us cared to do so, therefore unless we wanted to step on road stones and mud in our socks, the more civilized of us also had to keep our shoes on at least until we got to our own bedroom doors, and put them back on to go to the bathroom or cook in the kitchen, do laundry, etc. I'm glad I don't live there anymore.
Not very common at doctors anymore. HAven't encountered that once in 30+ years.
@@kyleellis1825 My family doctor, and my dentist, both have shoe trays outside their carpeted waiting rooms, in the hallway, and a sign explaining what they're for for the slow types. My mother's physiotherapist has his own clinic (renovated from a house). Shoe rack and a basket of house slippers there.
It might depend on the building. You don't take your shoes off in a hospital, for example.
@@hinoron6528 I realized the issue. My doctors/dentists are usually lower income, so they don't want homeless people stealing the shoes.
@@kyleellis1825 (blink blink) I would not have considered that.
...Also, none of my doctors or dentists have been interested in my income level. Not especially fancy places, their offices, but the shoes ARE being removed and left inside the hallways, not outside the building. Office buildings, not apartment buildings, so it's not like folks are just wandering through without reason.
@@hinoron6528 Yes, I understand what places you're talking about. Just be happy you don't have at least one person high on who knows what in the waiting room every time I show up.
So in TikTok Part 5 it was pointed out that we get higher pitched as we talk and finish in a lower tone. Well watching this one I've noticed that he STARTS OUT higher pitched and gets deeper the longer he talks. LMAO
Tyler needs to do a video of trying canadian snacks because i swear they’re all so good and not weard
I wear my outdoor shoes/boots to work and then change into my indoor/work shoes! We do this as kids in school, and maybe it’s because most of the year is winter and wet/snow we don’t want to track it into some places. At my doctors office, physical therapy clinic, Nerologist’s office we take our shoes off entering the medical clinic and leave our shoes/boots at the door. 😊
Ketchup may be Malaysian in origin but it's a popular condiment in Canada. We put it on lots of things: French fries, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, burgers, etc. Putting it on chips isn't a stretch as it's really just potato and ketchup.
Ketchup is an absolute staple in our house and we literally can’t eat if we’re out of it. I will NOT eat grilled cheese without ketchup. My kids are worse, we were out once and as I called out their lunch options it was all “No”, “No”, “Not without ketchup”, “you know I can’t eat that without ketchup Mom”. In the end I had to make a ketchup run lol
The reasoning behind ketchup flavoured chips is as you guessed, ketchup on fries. Fries and chips are both potato, so it shouldn't be that strange to have ketchup chips. As for the popcorn seasoning, I think that stems from the chips, so many people love ketchup chips.
Gravy, and apple sauce, are two that break that trend for some strange reason.
Ketchup is a sweet flavour, compliments the savoury flavour of the chip so it’s a great contrast
The best I can understand it- whether or not you take your shoes off when entering a house is regional in the USA but here in Canada it seems to be a thing from coast to coast..
When a Canadian say “you’re welcome, eh?”, and you haven’t said “Thank you.”, they’re telling you off. They’re making a point that you should have said “Thank you.”.
We used to joke in University or at staff parties that you wrap up 45min before you want to leave the party. So you have enough time to dig through the pile of shoes by the door to find your matching set
As a female who grew up in the fifties and sixties, it amazes me that people express surprise about men wearing shorts in the winter. What makes that different from the skirts I was forced to wear to school in Michigan? In fact I developed a sensitivity and often ended up with hives on my knees, which were between the skirt and the knee socks.
Exactly.
Women go through childbirth. Deep down, we all know women can endure more pain.
Same here. Skirts and knee socks up till highschool, when females were allowed to wear pants.
We found your channel recently and thoughoughly enjoy watching each episode. Your information is very good, although I can definitely say that there are Cheetos here. I appreciate the fact that you're an American with an open mind who realizes that things may different in different places and the fact that you definitely want to learn. Keep up the good work!
Yup, I just had Cheetos a couple days ago. Definitely prefer the other kind more though. Cheetos should be called Saltos.
At my age, my doctor has a kniption fit if I eat anything that makes life worth living.@@KarstenJohansson
I always suspected you were not American, but Canadian. Now that you said "If I was 100 meters aways, 20 meters away" and then corrected yourself by saying feet, I was satisfied. Got you! Thanks! You're entertaining.
Icebergs are very popular for tourist to go to Newfoundland and Labrador - best season is between May and June
‘No yeah” is very very common-it means you understand what they’re saying and agree.
I use “oh eh bud” more personally but that’s my part of Canada, I sometimes use “no yeah”
That’s how my teenagers talk when they are on their phones - they don’t want their parents to know anything about their personal lives, so they talk in “code”.
I think the pattern of the Canadian "no, yeah, no, for sure" reply comes from the way our questions are phrased. For instance, a friend may say something like "You wouldn't mind picking me up, would you?". If you break it down and answer each part of the sentence, it turns into - "You wouldn't mind? > NO / picking me up? > YEAH / Would you? > NO, i wouldn't mind....SURE, i can do that."
Exactly!
That's the best explanation ever!
I am a shorts-in-the-winter person and I can explain!
There are just some Canadians who's antifreeze blood seems to only flow through our legs. Our upper half doesn't seem to keep warmth like our lower half, so we regulate our body temperature by exposing the heat-making part so we don't overheat.
Awesome description. It's likes sleeping under a huge ass douvet. You have to stick a leg out, otherwise you'll overheat and never get to sleep.
Funny, because I've had several of these people admit it's just for bragging rights/to seem tougher.
@kyleellis1825 well, I don't know about those people, but I moved from The Yukon to Southern Ontario. I actually just don't get cold anymore.
@@beccanatorthe-only-one7479 That's fair. I was more talking about the highschool/collge guys who wear basketball shorts.
I'm one of those guys that shovels snow for 2 hours at minus 17 in shorts and t shirt.
The first one is about the sock falling half off your foot when you take your boot off
As a born and raised Ontarian who moved to Alberta 5 years ago, I never thought much about the bagged milk thing until I moved here, and can only get milk in cartons or jugs. From what I understand, bagged milk is only an Ontario and Quebec thing and only came about because of the switch from gallons to litres. Also fun fact, the colours on milk bags or container are associated with the fat content, skim is green, 1% is white, 2% is blue and 4% homo (homogenized or whole milk) is red, not sure if that's a thing in the US.
I would never think of leaving my shoes on when entering someone else's house. And yes, he do talk that on the phone.
Me shoes off - yes
talk like that on phone - no
You weren't expecting to hear Quebec, I wasn't expecting to see the blueberry from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Every spring in Newfoundland icebergs show up from Greenland. (Greenland is all about the ice while Iceland is green) There is such a place as Iceberg Alley. Every year there are some pretty amazing photos. I have been but not seen the huge ones.
So the proper ritual for the shoes things is
- guest says “I’ll just take off my shoes”
- host says “no, no, no don’t worry about it
- guest has already started taking them off and say “no, no it’s ok, I already started anyway”
Lol, I've done that "you're welcome" thing @ least a dozen times alone this week!! It's tourist season. 😉
We take shoes off in summer also. This reduces the workload of the person who cleans the floors. Usually mom.
Dude, I'm in Newfoundland, we get icebergs every year in the early summer. They are tracked 100% from beginning to end. We are not alarmed. There was no iceberg the size of London here, this is bulshit which you should have gotten from the voice and music
Yep. Never trust an AI voice on social media sites.
As far as the milk bag hole goes, many of us Canadians master the hole at a young age.
It is if you do not double tap the milk carton, or so, the bag does not travel down into it far enough then you make a huge mess :P
Thanks for these vids, Give some good laughs and to know some do not think we are all stupid !! lol.
Milk bag is only the middle of Canada really.
I don't think I've ever seen bagged milk in person. I live in British Columbia.
We don’t have bagged milk in Manitoba and we are the geographic Centre of Canada.
Not all Canadians know what a milk bag is. We don't have them in Alberta, although I do remember we had them briefly in the 70's when I was in elementary school more than 40 years ago. My mom had one of those blue pitchers for the bag.
I wish we still had jugs in Ontario. I would use them for winter seed starting.
Canadian here and EVERY time you mentioned ketchup flavoring my mouth waters, the all dressed chips are like an all dressed pizza but salty, coffee crisp is super airy with wafers and a mello flavor. Evjoy
Bagged milk is definitely depending on location. Here in Saskatchewan we don't have bagged milk anymore.
You should order a Canadian snack box and do a reaction to trying our snacks, it would be worth it. You'd be able to try Ketchup chips (don't really taste like ketchup), All Dressed (not really sure what they taste like) and Dill Pickle chips as well as our great assortment of unique chocolate bars and candies.
