  • We're back with more German chocolate! We love taking any opportunity that we can to sit down and eat a whole bunch of chocolate. Over the past few months, we collected as many unique and strange flavors of Ritter Sport as we could find, and in this video, we taste them all and share our opinions with you. Let us know how many flavors of these you have tried, and which one is your favorite!
    If you missed our first Ritter Sport video, you can find it here: • Americans Try German C...
    We also put different types of Kinder Chocolates head-to-head in a March Madness video: • Americans Try German C...

    About us: In July of 2021, after a long time of hoping, dreaming, and planning, we sold or gave away almost everything we owned and left the United States to begin our journey with four children as an expat family. We moved to Leipzig, Germany, a beautiful city in the state of Saxony. This is our story.

    I have a confession to make: The flavors taste very different when you don't eat 16 varieties in a row! 😂 I ate some of the Kaffee Knusper bar on a different day after this video and it tasted much better! So if you want to get the most from your Ritter Sport, don't eat them all at once!
    What's your favorite flavor? What brand of chocolate should we try next?

    • @georgdrache7858
      @georgdrache7858 Год назад

      Maybe some chocolate from other companies: Milka also has a lot og good sorts, Lindt has some great and special flavors. And by the way.. you can smell a slightly difference between chocolate from common companies and cheaper ones. From for example Aldi or Lidl....

      @@OnwardMJ Lindt has a huge numbers of chocolates. From the common ones: Milk, some nutty flavors, etc. But they also have some great special fruits. Personally I prefer the bitter ones (much less sweet), like 85% cacao and a nice cup of coffee. But this is only my personal favor.

    First of all: your daughter is so sweet and did a great job 😍!
    When I was younger I ate a lot of strawberry yoghurt chocolate (different brand). But I guess I ate too much once 🤪, got sick 🤢 and that was the last time I ever touched it 🤭
    You are definitely an expert in Rittersport now 😁 In my 35 years living in Germany I definitely haven't tried as many flavors as you did in this video 🤣😁
    Honestly, my favorite is the very boring "Alpenmilch". My dad sent us a box of nice German things for Christmas and I have to confess that I ate the Alpenmilch Rittersport before my kids came home from school 🤣🙊
    The security tag on the Lebkuchen one was hilarious 🤣 I mean it was there for a reason 🤔 Guess it means it is popular flavor 😁
    PS: Your pronunciations is not as bad as you think😁More German please! 😃

      Alpenmilch is my son's favorite too! And I would totally do the same thing that you did. Sometimes parents need to get the treats!
      And...I'm thinking about doing a video in German soon...we'll see if I can work up the courage!

    My favourites are Honig-Salz-Mandel (honey salt omen), Nougat, Marzipan and Rum-Traube-Nuss (rum-grape-nut). The last 3 are standard flavors. The first is a special. And check out Milka collage. Btw your german is fantastic for that short amount of time.

    Highly recommended: Toffifee, Duplo, Ferrero Küsschen, Halloren and Leipzigs own: Knusperflocken and Bambina. All mentioned brands come in different flavors! So I'm waiting for Part 3. =)
    Btw. if you are longing for American sweets, there is a shop in the city center called "House of Sweets". It is at Brühl 18.

      @@OnwardMJ considering inflation in the states the stuff is expensive but considering inport duties. I get koolaid and a few things. Basic reeses peanutbutter cups just get at kaufland. Sourpatchkids Rossmann is cheaper, and the Mekong asian shop has some of the asian kitkats and stuff cheaper. I wait for pop tarts to go on sale at kaufland. I found them at penny cheap sometimes too. Though yeah house of sweets has mac and cheese, ranch dressing and alot of stuff. I dont bother with chips and not a big enough fan of takis to spend the money on them. I get a&w rootbeer sometimes too.

    It would be better to take a sip of water between each chocolate to wash away the flavors in your mouth. Otherwise the strawberry chocolate will taste like coconut afterwards.
    Try chili chocolate e.g. by LINDT. *The daughter speaks stunningly good German!* 👍👍

    • @OnwardMJ
      @OnwardMJ  Год назад

      Yes, we did drink water between (most of) the flavors. It just might not have been quite enough to really wash all of the taste out. Might try something else next time.
      I definitely have to try that chili chocolate - other people have also recommended it. Sounds good to me!
      And yes, my daughter (well, all of our kids) speak much better German than me! My 6 year old corrects my pronunciation! 😂😂

  • @Likr666

    My favorites are the "traditional" flavours like Nugat and the combinations of nuts (hazelnut, peanut, cashew,...), rum and grape/raisin. On wikipedia is complete list of flavours. Lots flavours are not availble in 100 gr.
    For Milka I like the caramel/toffee and cookie best. You may want to try Merci, because there are mixed flavours in one box. And the name is a good working marketing trick, because a lot of people give them as a present to say "thank you/merci".

    • @OnwardMJ

    what always wonders me about vegan stuff that originally was not vegan right?
    But contained lot of vegan incredients anyway
    how do they manage to make it worse
    what i mean by that almonds have lots of oils so does any nut so they arent nessesarrily dry
    mild bitter chocolat is not nessesarrily dry it still can melt on your tounge they use milk powder anyway there is no fresh milk in it
    so how? is it barely ever good
    exeptions though
