38 yo Asian-Canadian here... in all 38 of my years, I have yet to understand why ketchup chips are not a thing anywhere else in the world, esp in America. Fried potatoes + ketchup is like the staple food/side dish of America. Served everywhere from McDonalds to steakhouses. Somehow the line was drawn between fried potatoes in thin circle form, and fried potatoes in long rectangular form. lol..please help me understand why!
In Germany they used to sell these little bear-shaped potato snacks that were ketchup flavored. I haven't been back for a visit in the last 12 years so I'm not sure they still make them but they existed!
Yeah I don’t like crunchy texture to my chocolate I love caramilks and arrows. But won’t eat coffee crisp or Kit Kats. MnM’s I’ll eat but won’t buy I like peanut enough that it’s not that bad
I love watching people try our snacks for some reason but oh man youre one of the first to actually bring out the hawkins cheezies such an S tier snack
You missed Jos Louis (chocolate cake rounds), butter tarts (a unique pastry), Nanaimo bars (chocolate treat) and Flakie (fruit-filled pastries). On the chocolate bar side, you missed Aero (bubbly chocolate), Oh Henry (peanut bar, available with or without peanut butter), and Caramilk (chocolate with caramel-filled pockets). That's enough to do an entire sequel episode :)
Haha a lot of my favs in there. Both of you with the maple cookies. Yes - that. Even no name maple cookies are fire. Coffee crisp with a coffee or tea is divine!
Canadian here and smarties are actually not a big deal for me but they have a song for these that say "when you eat your smarties, do you eat the red ones last" lol I agree with her on the ketchup chips, they are one of my favorites but I love coffee crisp. It just goes to show that everyone's palate is different. Thank you for reviewing our snacks. It's fun watching people from other countries try out things from Canada!
My favorite video of yours. This hit home for me 😭 My mom told me I used to steal Coffee Crisp from the convenience store shelves while I was still in a stroller. Toronto in the 80’s was good times 🇨🇦
As a Canadian I agree with your choices. Hickory sticks are great in wraps and on burgers (summer time fav). I don't eat a lot of sweets but Coffee Crisp is my go to when I do get the craving!!!
Since you both enjoyed the Miss Vickies so much, please PLEASE try the Lime and Cracked Pepper flavor. It is SOO GOOD!!! Great selection of snacks you had there.
Love this idea! Please consider more!! Apparently the Hickory Sticks are a great addition to soups, sandwiches, dips, salads, and as addition to grilled chicken dishes
Lol! Including your wife was awesome and wholesome! You should try the Chinese food (downtown and Richmond Hill areas) and Korean food for your wife, and you can find the newer Korea town in the Yonge and Finch to the Yonge and Sheppard area.
Whenever our cousins from California come up to visit us in Canada we always go out and buy Ketchup chips and All Dressed chips for them. Also butter tarts.
CC is massively overrated and has become worse. Maybe it's nice dipped in actual coffee or hot chocolate. That said, smarties actually taste like cardboard and chalk. I seriously don't know how they managed to make candy coated milk chocolate taste like that.
Coffee Crisp is a great, not too sweet chocolate bar. M&M’s have always been better than smarties. Smarties melt color into your hand and, the coating is too thick.
!!!! *Honoured* to have accidentally bumped into you both!! And (in true Canadian fashion), I am sorry for mistakenly calling ringlady "ringleader", although, she does give serious badass energy. Hope you guys have had an amazing time in Toronto!! All the good vibes from CA! 🍁🇨🇦
You should've tried Ruffles Sour Cream and Bacon. For texture I would go with Hard Bites (cooked in Avocado Oil) Black Truffle chips or their Wasabi or their Honey Mustard.
Hey! , This is my first video of yours and as a Canadian you picked great snacks to try, The trick to Smarties. is to put them in your mouth and let the chocolate melt a bit and then bite into them, Its a much better chocolate then M&Ms in my opinion. Subbed!
it was really nice to see other people try Canadian snacks. If you don't have these products in South Korea, open up a business and sell it. I truly believe it would do very well.
Mrs. Vicki's is a hidden gem in Canada. Maybe not so hidden anymore. But you need to taste all the flavors. They don't have many but the ones that they have are amazing, also, they tend to be unique, not the usual treading flavors. Many chip companies try and copy their flavors. Due to the combination being unique. They lean a little bit more towards a savory flavor.
As a person who has citizenship to multiple countries, I really like watching people try other countries snacks. Main food dishes are very traditional and carry a lot of pride, but it’s the snacks that people hang out and share more regularly than anything else. Just to give you the heads up however they were all Canadian snacks with the exception of smarties. Smarties have been around for quite a while however they are British. Canadians have taken a lot of British and French food and snacks as part of their culture, but smarties traditionally are British. As I’ve done most of my growing up in different parts of the British Isles, I grew up eating smarties. I prefer them over chocolate M&Ms, not the peanut ones, but I do prefer smarties over chocolate M&Ms. Sorry, M&Ms, but smarties is the original.
I love eating the coffee crisp in layers, one of my favourite bars. And smarties are best if you let them melt in your mouth, savour the taste instead of crunching them fast 😊
You guys did well in picking some iconic Canadian snacks fun fact for you guys: Many of the "Canadian" snacks are really British and with our close ties to Britain we inherited them. Most of them are from the Nestle, Cadbury, or Mars chocolate companies. For potato chips "Hostess" was the Canadian iconic brand which has just been re-released by another company who bought the brand. They invented many of the iconic "Canadian" flavours like Ketchup. Other have mentioned some of these but you really have to try MARS (chocolate), MALTESERS (chocolate and me and my late Mother's absolute fave), CARAMILK (chocolate), SWEDISH BERRIES (soft candy), BUTTER TARTS (pastry invented in Canada), JOE LOUIS (snack cake), CRUNCHIE (chocolate), KINDER SUPRISE EGG (illegal in U.S. because there is a toy inside ?), AERO (chocolate) - all available at the Dollar store except maybe butter tarts but they are best from a local bakery anyway Last fun fact the "Christie" company is a historic Toronto cookie company. We even have a "Christie" street and "Christie" subway station named after the man who once worked for another cookie factory and bought it out after working there and changed the name. Another Canadian cookie brand is LeClerc from Quebec but also some varieties available at the dollar store :) P.S. You will bring Maltesers home I promise and Nanaimo Bars although invented in B.C. are love or hate 'em trust me
As a Canadian, these videos are really cool to see
Same!
We agree
Coffee CrrrrrRiissp
@ meow
I agree.I love this.
Your wife is lovely, Ben! Great personality. Wishing you the both the best and a long, nurturing marriage.
they are cringe as fck
That first 30 seconds is now permanent Deen lore
those 30 seconds will go down in the books fr
I laughed out loud 😂
his wife is the reason I quit cornhub
and 9:04. Nik Naks Giant Canadian cousin
"I'm back, with Ben, the goat eheheheh" 😂
Miss Vickies is an S tier chip. Especially the Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar. Jalapeño and the Sweet and Spicy Ketchup flavors are also amazing
The spicy ketchup is fire. Tastes like McDonald fries.
Sweet Chili and Sour Cream are my favourite Ms Vickie’s!
I love those spicy pickle ones
Miss Vickies the GOAT, Chili Pepper Sour Cream and Honey Dijon also good. I dont think they can make a bad chip.
@@txtualytomg all these flavors I’ve never heard of! I’ve tried the honey dijon it didn’t have any flavor to me :/ but smokehouse bbq is my fav😋🤤
Ben is resistant to her tom foolery. I'd be busting out laughing lol.
he's a major dweeb

kerrs makes ketchup chips in the states, afair, way overpowered, now we've got double flavouring chips that compete for punch.
Actually in UK walkers has a Heinz ketchup flavoured crisps (chips if you are American) they are an amazing flavour.
In Germany they used to sell these little bear-shaped potato snacks that were ketchup flavored. I haven't been back for a visit in the last 12 years so I'm not sure they still make them but they existed!
I'm Canadian and your picks are pretty much spot on. But you forgot the caramilk bar. You have to try it
Yeah I don’t like crunchy texture to my chocolate I love caramilks and arrows. But won’t eat coffee crisp or Kit Kats. MnM’s I’ll eat but won’t buy I like peanut enough that it’s not that bad
And Aero
@@philippehanna96my favourite!
Oh Caramilk and Aero Bars...my faves
Wunderbar is GOAT for me. Putting Smarties above Coffee Crisp is wild.
I love watching people try our snacks for some reason but oh man youre one of the first to actually bring out the hawkins cheezies such an S tier snack
Theyre disgusting lmfao. Thats old people food
Such an accurate reaction to the smell too 🤣 They're damn good but it absolutely hits you hard lmao
We need more episodes with RL, love the energy she brings to the table!!
You missed Jos Louis (chocolate cake rounds), butter tarts (a unique pastry), Nanaimo bars (chocolate treat) and Flakie (fruit-filled pastries). On the chocolate bar side, you missed Aero (bubbly chocolate), Oh Henry (peanut bar, available with or without peanut butter), and Caramilk (chocolate with caramel-filled pockets).
That's enough to do an entire sequel episode :)
100% I completely agree
Jos Louis and Flakie are so trash tbh. But god damn, I had no clue Aero, Oh Henry and Caramilk were Canadian exclusives.
@@Forgotten_Fables aero and caramilk aren't Canadian lol
The milk chocolate version of caramilk is canadian, its produced only in toronto. The australian version is made with white chocolate. @@Shambo214
@@Forgotten_Fablesaero is british, oh henry and the milk chocolate version are canadian though

Canadian snacks are literally GOAT tier, I love them (I am definitely not Canadian)
Sure

@@CarloS-ii6hrTrader Joe’s has maple cookies
@@CarloS-ii6hreventually we might export em you never know :)

Coffee Crisp is a legendary Canadian chocolate bar. My American friends always ask me to bring when I visit.
Oh Henry as well! They don't have any down there!
I’m not Canadian, but Miss Vicky’s chips are delicious and we have those in the states. So yay for Miss Vicky’s chips!❤
My favorite video of yours. This hit home for me 😭 My mom told me I used to steal Coffee Crisp from the convenience store shelves while I was still in a stroller. Toronto in the 80’s was good times 🇨🇦
Finally people who actually enjoy them lol Ms Vickies is the GOAT every flavour slaps!
The fact that I have watched your videos for years and you are currently in my home city is so exciting, love watching you try our food! Makes my day
This content deserves an award!
lol, BenDeen gets it... happy wife, happy life 😂
i know right? it took me years before i learned about this! kudos to Ben!
I don't see any humor in Ben's videos but with ring lady I laugh the whole time. lol
6:14 Bro sighed knowing if he argued he'd lose
As a Canadian I agree with your choices. Hickory sticks are great in wraps and on burgers (summer time fav). I don't eat a lot of sweets but Coffee Crisp is my go to when I do get the craving!!!
This has to be one of the best RUclips couples. Honestly. I love both of their energy they put into the video!
Damn you don’t have ketchup chips,I thought this an American thing,fries and ketchup .
6:50
Ben: Smells pretty good 👍🏾
Ring Lady: *smells bag* 😵💫
😂😂😂
What a cute video. I also like you'll showing us the variety snacks in Canada. Thanks!
Since you both enjoyed the Miss Vickies so much, please PLEASE try the Lime and Cracked Pepper flavor. It is SOO GOOD!!! Great selection of snacks you had there.
Your wife seems reall chill Ben wish you both the best and hope you have a great time in Canada!
Ring Lady antics and Ben facial expressions be funny asl 🤣
Hawkins Cheezies are the best.
The crunch is absolutely savage.
MORE RING LADY. Such a fire duo you guys
lmao, your wife's reaction to the cheezies is gold
Love this idea! Please consider more!! Apparently the Hickory Sticks are a great addition to soups, sandwiches, dips, salads, and as addition to grilled chicken dishes
She defers to Ben, then overrules him. 😂 We KNOW who the boss is. 😂😂😂
Lol! Including your wife was awesome and wholesome! You should try the Chinese food (downtown and Richmond Hill areas) and Korean food for your wife, and you can find the newer Korea town in the Yonge and Finch to the Yonge and Sheppard area.
When my uncle moved to Michigan whenever we visited him we had to bring him coffee crisps. Still my fave chocolate bar too.
Wifey is too funny 😂❤ So cute!
Same like me. I have a high affection towards all kinds of crispy crunchy snacks.
You two are making me hungry. As a Canadian, you picked out great snacks to try and review
Hickory Sticks were my jam as a kid.
Ben, I have been watching you for YEARS. So happy you found your person, she's gorgeous!
Get the Ring Lady Miss Vickie's Spicy ketchup. Her reactions are the best 😂
I’m proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦
glad you’re enjoying our food!😋
Bro you gotta try Oh Henry and Mr. Big!! Probably some of the best chocolate bars you can get in Canada
I thought Ben wouldn’t like the maple cookies
@@maranpakeer I don't. Too freaking sweet!
Yo, isn’t oh Henry in other countries too? I always thought it wasn’t just Canadian and people in the US had it too.
@ShelleyBeanMartin he already did a video on purine
@@sahandforoozanfar9069Oh Henry has been around in the USA forever. I remember my dad buying Oh Henry bars in the 1970s.
Every one of these snacks is FIRE. You should review Canadian music too. Matthew Good, Tragically Hip, etc.
New from the start they would like the jalepeno dill kettle chips, honestly one of the best chips ever made
You are so lucky to have this lady by your side!! She stole the show ❤
Yeah I only really use hickory sticks on stuff like you said. Hamburgers, sandwiches, burgers, wraps even hodogs 😂
Try it on a Grilled Cheese
Nachos too
Seeing people's reaction to things I take for granted and see every day growing up is a real pleasure
I'm glad you liked all those snacks and they were definitely snacks I've eaten in the past so good assortment too!
as a canadian why does this make me smile. Love this
Whenever our cousins from California come up to visit us in Canada we always go out and buy Ketchup chips and All Dressed chips for them. Also butter tarts.
It’s always fun to watch people experience food/snacks I’ve had since I was 7.
Just stumbled across your channel today and I absolutely love watching you both try our Canadian snacks and Tim Horton's lol. New subscriber here!
You were absolutely correct about the all dressed ruffles, should be 1st or 2nd on that lineup!
I appreciate the "loose leaf" joke. Well played.
Miss Vickies has a "Sweet and Spicy Ketchup" flavour that is leaps and bounds better than Lays, imho.
The point you made about the salt with Hawkins Cheezies is absolutely spot on. So good but super salty.
Smarties over coffee crisp diabolical
CC is massively overrated and has become worse. Maybe it's nice dipped in actual coffee or hot chocolate.
That said, smarties actually taste like cardboard and chalk. I seriously don't know how they managed to make candy coated milk chocolate taste like that.
Hell nah smarties all day. Especially smarties McFlurry. Classic
Agreed smarties are trash
Coffee crisp sucks, smarties over it ANY day
Coffee Crisp is a great, not too sweet chocolate bar. M&M’s have always been better than smarties. Smarties melt color into your hand and, the coating is too thick.

Gotta try Canadian Doritos flavours and Ketchup. Also the fast food spot A&W!
Never been on your channel before. This chick is brutal.
hahah my man so glad u came to canada absolutely beenenjoying this. thanks brother and ring lady!!
Hickory sticks are a great addition to a grilled cheese 🤤 loving the Canadian content ❤
Or a peanut butter sandwich 😅😊
Me living in Canada, not knowing that these were "Canadian snacks". This warms my heart to see y'all trying them for the first time 💓.
I love the videos with your wife, she is beautiful of course but also hilarious!🤩
It's funny that you gave smarties extra points for the packaging. Growing up, Smarties were most known for being the candy packaged in boxes.
Old Dutch potato chips are iconic simply because they come in a cardboard box, two bags inside what is like a big cereal box.
Not any more,
Your wife is not only beautiful, but I love her goofy and light hearted personality. You struck gold, Ben.
The dills crunch with a good yogurt...also cheezies with moisture...
cheezies are often rancid tasting.
AHAHAHA shes so silly I love her... shes really perfect for your videos haha im lovin the balanced vibes
the beginning was so funny lol
These videos are oddly relaxing to me
Hickory sticks are still my favorite!!! 💯
I crush them super fine and use them to coat my baked porkchops, so good.
Ruffles all dressed are my fave chip ! As a Canadian I love these ! They are addictive and so yummy !!! ❤
Old Dutch ketchup chips are elite. Hope you two are enjoying Canada !
Love your shows as a Canadian 😂❤

You must try a beaver tail while you're in Toronto. Should be a stand near the aquarium
or the one on lakeshore!
these are great choices of canadian snacks... all classics
Should go to the frozen section in a grocery store and get a Delissio frozen pizza. Pepperoni or deluxe are the bomb.
Delissio frozen pizza? LOL. Serious?
Delicio is discontinued😪

Yeah it’s discontinued they said they would rather focus on other products or something 🤷♂️

22 usd for all that, as a canadian that would all cost $30+
Hickory Sticks are more of a nostalgia thing for me. My mom enjoys mixing them with a container of store bought cottage cheese
Ketchup chips used to taste way better. They taste like shit now, unfortunately. 😒
How do you know what shit tastes like?
They literally taste the same they did 20 years ago lol
I love the two of you together. I hope Ring Lady can also do her own reviews as well!
