I suggest that you try the All dressed Ruffles chips with the Ruffles ranch dip :) It is delicious ! The all dressed chips are a mix of salt and vinegar, bbq and ketchup chips ;) The Smarties are 2 times shorter than the original. My favorite sugarished drink is Pepsi but for the snacks All dressed Ruffles are on my top 3 with pickles Lay's chips, ketchup Lay's chips and pickles Doritos. Also, the Smartfood cheddar popcorn is awesome. For the chocolate bars, I love Wunderbar, Cadbury milk chocolate, Caramilk and Mirage bars.
You missed out on the 2 best candy bars. Crispy Crunch and Caramilk. Next time you visit. BTW, Canada is a bilingual Country. That's why all packaging in is this Country has to be in English and French by law. Also highway signs but not everywhere.Enjoyed your review, looking forward to your next review.
Alot of the recommendations I would make for your next trip to Canada have already been mentioned, but I didn't notice anyone say Nanaimo Bars. It's something you could likely make at home, if you wanted. There are recipes online and the ingredients should be readily available. Also, Beaver Tails are delicious (to be clear, it's a pastry that's thin, oval and slightly resembles a beaver tail, usually coated in cinammon and sugar). There are locations throughout Canada, but I believe there are some in the USA now as well. Also, maple cookies, maple taffy, and REAL maple syrup.
Hickory Sticks, Hawkins Cheesies, Wonder Bar, Mr. Big Bar, Eatmore bar, also go to Tim Horton's for Donuts & Coffee a true Canadian staple. Come to Winnipeg in the summer time and go to a CFL Football game a see the Winnipeg Blue Bombers or the Jet's in the winter time. Thanks for the post.
I agree in coming to a football game. Specially if the bombers are facing rough riders from Saskatchewan. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are like twins siblings and have a wonderful rivalry relationship between the two provinces.
Great reactions. Only thing I wanted to suggest is when you have an Aero you are not supposed to bit it. You put on your tongue and let it melt. The bubbles in the chocolate make it melt different than other chocolates. Sometimes you can feel the bubbles as well. When I am down in the US, I like to try all the different snacks as well. A favorite of my kids were Funyuns for many years. My current favorite are the Flaming Hot Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles. Way better than our chips up here.
Thanks for coming to Manitoba. Melita is actually pronounced Meh lit ah. If that makes sense. Americans anyway line the All Dressed chips and Coffee Crisp chocolate bar. Hope you had fun.
Quite a few of the things they tried weren't the traditional versions of the chocolate bars. The bite size might be the same but it's not the same. That didn't look like a regular Coffee Crisp. Every Canadian taste test has to include Vachon products: Jos Louis, Ah Caramel, Passion Flakie, Billot Log etc. The video Irish People Try Canadian Cakes shows the great Vachon snacks.
Try Fuzzy Peaches and sour cherry Blasters and Swedish Berries candy for Maynard everyone Alway's forgets to try most of the Candy Brans when they try Canadian stuff 😂
Definitely get the Miss Vickie's Spicy Dill Pickle chips next time you are in Canada! It's what the Lay's were based on, but Miss Vickie's chips are far superior - they are a kettle chip. Miss Vickie's has many great flavours, so check out more of their chips. Salt and Malt Vinegar, Sweet and Spicy Ketchup, Applewood Smoked BBQ, All Dressed Up, Lime and Black Pepper...also try Hickory Sticks and Hawkins Cheezies. Also Wunderbar, Big Turk and Crispy Crunch for chocolate bars (the latter is not a Butterfinger, and was in fact invented a decade before). If you can get to a bakery, try a butter tart and Nanaimo bar. Even at the gas stations, there should be a Jos Louis and a Billot Log, which are packaged pastries from Vachon, a company that's over 100 years old. :)
Oooo looks like such a fun trip ❤ So many different Kit Kats from the ones we have in the UK. Wow so many Canadian snacks we have in the UK! That's awesome to find out xx
I was surprised to learn that when I was a kid. I went to UK to visit an aunt who wanted to meet me and was surprised how many Canadian snacks there was. Some had a slight difference in flavour but was pretty much the same.
Girl in the back is the brightest and most refined for she did not let her cognitive bias against ketchup chips prevent her from realizing they are a phenomenal chip!
You should have come to Winnipeg!😭 the city of Winnipeg alone in the province of Manitoba is larger than the population of North Dakota. So much to see and do. It’s such a quick drive!
The ketchup certainly grow on you quickly. You wouldn't think you could eat the whole bag but..... Many have fallen into that trap. Doritos Ketchup are the best. Definitely need some poutine next time.
We Canadians love All Dressed chips. Most brands sell a version now. I like Lays All Dressed better than Ruffles. I hate Ketchup chips. My personal favourite is Dill Pickle, which has been a popular flavour here since I was a kid in the 70’s/80’s. I have a hard time finding Dill Pickle anywhere in the US. I couldn’t even find fresh dill or dill weed at any grocery store in Florida (it is wonderful on Salmon). All of the packaging here has both French and English. You should try Cadbury Caramilk (similar to Carmello), and Crispy Crunch (similar to Butterfinger).
If you come to Saskatchewan you could look me up I live to close to the border we have some amazing restaurants at Estevan and show you some cool stuff about Saskatchewan
Regular (non spicy) dill pickle chips are great, Hawkins cheesies are good and actually the brand Old Dutch chips are made in Manitoba - there should be a few different flavours you might not have, or it’s just a taste of Manitoba :)
For drinks that is Canadian I suggest Cream soda from Crush. It’s Pink! Also if you visit other provinces, Crush has 2 unique drinks that are province lock. In Newfoundland you can find pineapple crush and also in Newfoundland and Northern Alberta you can find Birtch beer pop made by Crush. I order them to Saskatchewan and takes 6-7 months to get them but darn they are good. I was also kinda sad you three didn’t stop at a restaurant for a Poutine, even if it was from a McDonald’s
Oh Henry! Is actually an American candy bar. Surprised you never saw any of those chips while you were here in PA, we had them as a "limited edition" a few times. Thanks for rhese videos. I was born in Minot at the Airforce base but my father retired when I was 3 and moved back to his home state of NJ. As an adult I've been unable to travel to ND so it's neat to see these vids.
OH! WAIT...just did some more research on Oh! Henry and found that the American version was cancelled out in 2019. So it's just the Canadian version now. (made in Canada funny enough for Hersey)
Hope you continue to do videos. The car might not have had the best light, but the three of you work well together for a video like this. The main reason for the difference in flavour and texture is that Canadian chocolate needs to have a higher percentage of cocoa to be called true chocolate rather than "chocolatey" or "chocolate flavour". There are also some processing differences. I'm not sure if it's still true, but I grew up in Winnipeg in the 80s at which time many food companies, both American and Canadian, used Winnipeg as a test market for new flavours. Like mid-sized prairie cities on both sides of the border, Winnipeg has too much industry to shrink too much, but isn't really expanding either since no one chooses to move there. This makes it a great destination for trials like this since they'll have all the classic Canadian stuff, but will also occasionally have new products that you can't get anywhere else.
Delicious, so I wonder I have to travel on Canada and buyed a Ruffles and lays ketchup, and since in Mexico back in 80s on Barcel Ketchup chips got discontinued, I will buyed both of them, and I know those mentioned chips are not available on USA, only in Canada right?
Next time try hickory sticks, a French vanilla from Tim hortons and rockets (a chalky candy). Our rockets are your smarties. As a Canadian, I love our snacks.
@@Olivia_Simone_Vlogs fun fact: my home town in Ontario had the most timmies per capita in Canada. One time I applied for a job at a couple and they were across the street from each other and they called for an interview and I had to clarify which side of the street they were
Congratulations on travelling to another country just to get decent chocolate, lol. Some of those are UK favourite sweats. Aero, KitKat, Smarties and crisps. Sadly is seems the Canadians are obsessed like America which huge bags, why I never buy them in the US. Had a joke in the UK pavillion in June when I purchased two Aero's and said at last decent chocolate, cast member laughed. I live 14 miles from the Nestle factory in York where most of the chocolate is made. A kitkat bar previously cost me $2.59 and in June the price gone up to $3.45. In the UK it costs around £0.70 or $0.84. I thought it was down to importation costs for Disney. Turns out the products we thought was manufactured in the UK and shipped out, is infact produced under license in the US. Mars Bars, Milkyway, snickers (we preferred the name marathon) are nice too. Sadly not a fan of US chocolate at all.
Think you didn’t get the real taste of Oh Henry! The bite sized don’t taste as good as the chocolate bars. You need to try Tim Hortons if you haven’t already… timbits of course and suggest their iced cappucino.
Good to know the full size bar is better! And yes, unfortunately the nearest Tim Hortons is like... 3 hours away lol Wasn't willing to make it a full day excursion but maybe I'll put it on my ND bucket list!
Smarties have a thicker candy shell, which impacts the taste. 🇨🇦 here and I prefer M&Ms. KitKat is made by Nestlé around the world ex USA. Hershey picked up the rights to manufacture the brand from Rowntree who first introduced KK back in the day. The US KK uses Hershey chocolate. Nestle uses real milk chocolate.
But when you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Back in the 1970s , Rowntree, the then producer of the candy, ran an advertising campaign on that question (you can find the video on RUclips) and the question appeared on larger boxes ever since. Original Aero doesn’t include the mint. You also missed out on Hawkins Cheesies - Canadians flash deep fry the corn puffs before adding the cheese powder, making them crunchy, smaller, and far less likely to leave the cheese dust everywhere. You also should have grabbed some butter tarts and Nanaimo Bars - while much of the world teases Americans for how much sugar or equivalent (eg. Corn starch) ends up in so many foods, those two baked goods put them to shame. Much better for an energy boost than an energy drink.
Listen I get it. MB is boring... but not having a curiosity for things at a much earlier age is not healthy. The fact that Americans don't have passports is really bad! @@MK-fc2hn
Hickory sticks are amazing too, theyre little potato sticks with a smokey taste
Those sound AMAZING 🤩
@@Olivia_Simone_Vlogs they are, they're surprisingly crunchy too considering how thin most of them are
My FAVOURITE canadian chocolate bar is the crunchie bar, its chocolate covered sponge toffee! I also love sour keys.
OMG THAT SOUNDS SO GOOD
I used to have friends of mine that went to Canada regularly pick me up Lay's Ketchup chips, Ketchup Doritos, and All Dressed. They are so good.
Ketchup Doritos?! Now THAT I cannot imagine
@@Olivia_Simone_Vlogs They were quite interesting. Tasted nothing like the ketchup chips.
@@Olivia_Simone_Vlogs They are the best Ketchup chips ever.

From a homesick Canadian living abroad thanks for the video.

Aw I'm glad you enjoyed it!
If you make it back to Canada you should try butter tarts. Very Canadian and taste really good.

It seems people rarely try Eat More bars. They are so good! ❤
I like them too, not too sweet. Some people think they are like nutrition bars
I'll keep an eye out for these next time I head up! Thanks for the recommendation!

Old Dutch is far better than Lays, especially ketchup chips!
