I'm quite the same, I'm a bit anxious about junk food, especially that I got into fitness, I prefer to eat healthy, more fruits and vegetables, less sugars, very salty, sweets and junk food
I also like the idea of giving people a gift basket of silly things from your local area that are themed like their own home country. It would be like if I had an Australian friend visit and I gave them a bunch of "Australian" themed products I bought in America. And maybe also I would take them out to Outback Steakhouse, which is an australian-themed American restaurant chain. Which obviously is not authentic in any way but that would just make it more charming.
3:08 It is important to note that liqueur is not interchangeable with liquor -- especially when it comes to chocolate. "Chocolate liquor (cocoa liquor) is pure cocoa mass (cocoa paste) in solid or semi-solid form" "Chocolate liqueur is a chocolate flavored liqueur made from a base liquor of whisky or vodka." Not sure which you read off the package, though I would tend to guess it was just cocoa paste.

Maní my friend are peanuts. Tapitas are usually filled with a combination of crisp rice and peanuts. Thank you so much for reviewing so many things from my town and Costa Rica in general. Cheers!
I actually really like bubblegum taste. The funny enough I have always ended up eating gum is the issue. I normally chew it a minute and then it tastes bland to me so I just swallow it. As a kid I would get a gum called something like bubba yubba which was that gum sold in that pink can and it looked like a roll of tape or toilet paper. I just ate it like candy which it may have been. I heard there is actually a plum named Toka which is supposed to taste like bubblegum.
Loved this episode, it is surprising to me as well the reiterations of loved and known snacks selling in other countries. I especially find their choices of marketing for said snacks, very intriguing and telling. Salt water taffy is an everyday candy consumed in Utah, this is thanks to Sweet’s Candy Company in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I know that they make “special” chocolate for places like Costa Rica. I wonder if the chocolate liqueur as a ingredient is part of the “tropical chocolate” recipe.
Fritos makes "Bar-B-Q" flavor corn chips in their classic strips. They also make a chili cheese flavor that we always used to put on chili along with shredded cheddar cheese when I was a kid. Both flavors are quite heavily seasoned.
20 years or so ago i bought a French Creole confectionery cookbook that was originally MYR180 at MYR10. The recipe that caught my eyes is guava jelly & chocolate truffle. I have tried other recipes (turned out awesome) but haven't tried the guava one yet
by far the hardest part of fasting is the boredom. If you've never done a multiday fast, you have no idea the enormous amount of your daily time is spent thinking about, preparing, or eating food. Depending on your lifestyle, it can be really hard to fill all that extra free time. If you want a fast to be easy, start it when you are very busy
I know I'm very late, and some one else probably already said this, but chocolate liquor usually doesn't mean actual alcoholic liquor when listed as an ingredient. The term is usually used for to liquid that is produced in the process of chocolate making.
I was searching weird fruit Explorer videos because I wanted to show my stepfather your review on noni fruit because I was talking about the only fruit that I was growing successful in my yard in Panama at the moment. Strangely though, this video more suits me because I'm always trying out whatever strange junk food that I happen to come across down here. I have to admit that I haven't been very impressed by much..
hey barrilete and super coco are made by "super de alimentos" here in Colombia, it's weird to see it in costa rica. BTW supercoco it's really good but hard for your teeth
We do have lots of taffy like candy in the US!! Mamba, Now & Later, Airheads, Laffy Taffy...all are pretty popular and not your old-fashioned salt-water taffy.
But then again, perhaps your age is under 30, your BMI is under 20, your minutes of vigorous exercise per week are over 200, and the number of your relatives who have had cancer, diabetes, or heart disease is zero. No? Me neither. We really gotta eat better.
Fyi there are a number of good bbq flavored corn chips in the u.s... although it's not a subtle bbq flavor, none of our flavors are subtle here, and sometimes I'm bothered by that, especially with sweets lol
Your name is Jared?!? I don’t know why I’m so surprised at this but it didn’t occur to me that you had a name other than that cool fruit explorer guy. I’ve watched quite a lot of your videos how could I’ve missed this??
In the the United Kingdom they says "American Pizza" meaning a thick bready pizza dough. Yeah, like the French eat French Fries, and French Toast. Sure we make the thick crust bit Pizza is regional. I personal like New York style pizza. Even if I go in the biggest fast food pizza franchise, ,they ask you waht type of crust you want. In Italy they are currently going through a gourmet pizza revolution. Some Fat-Ass Italian pizza chief is claiming he inveted gourmet pizza. Yeah, fourty years after it was invented in Califonia.
Short of pork rinds or a product like Chicken in a Biskit that contains dehydrated chicken meat, there probably isn’t meat in those. I don’t blame anyone for checking though.
Goodness, what a perfect opportunity you have given me to reference an old Simpsons episode: Linda McCartney accused "other" frozen vegetarian meals of having "big hunks of pork" in them. Lol. I think Paul also claimed that one could hear a recipe for a "really ripping lentil soup" if one played "Maybe I'm Amazed" backwards...but that had to be a lie, because there is no such thing as a "really ripping lentil soup." Sure, plenty of them are good, but "really ripping"? Nope.
Were you allowed to bring all this stuff home or do you have to eat it all or give it away before you go to the airport because customs will confiscate it?
Those are our special newest brand of all, locally produced in Turrialba, they at Lams factory make garlic, ripe plantain, salty or even lemon flavored Tostones (or patacones) packaged in bags, the best in the market, other brands are smaller or harder to eat.

Alas Junk Food is very hard to resist and in the quantity you've got before you ... Toxic ... Find some families you can share this with... You would be contributing ... But at LEAST you wouldn't be on a junk food overload.
Candy marketed as American usually is bottom of the barrel in Germany. Cheap shit. Or the disgusting Hershey's chocolate that appeared recently. But then I went to the States and the American American candy is even more bottom of the barrel (if it ever was in the barrel) there 😂 Except Butterfingers. Those are heavenly. But then there is Candy Corn which should probably be denounced and trialed in Den Hague.

Awesome video as usual, BTW chocolate liquor is not alcohol it’s coco paste 😮
Chocolate liquor is cocoa paste, yes. The liqueur spelling usually means a flavored alcohol.
Chocolate liqueur is an alcoholic beverage, chocolate liquor is not.
well I learned something today. In that case these coincidentally had an alcohol flavor to them.
@@WeirdExplorer yep if I would guess it’s the guava jelly it might be a little off.
Chocolate LIQUOR (pronounced licker) is a cocoa product. Liqueur (pronounced lickoor) is a sweetened alcohol.
Thanks Jared, all of the suffering you do for educational purposes makes me glad that I can leave you a like and a good comment for the channel
Supercoco and Barrilete are also found here in Colombia! In fact, I think that Supercoco might've been imported from here!
My friend’s family owns that company
They make these chocolate marshmallows and they’re so good

Tbf, we definitely do have saltwater taffy and BBQ Fritos 😂 It is interesting to see just what's available in other countries
I haven't been able to find bbq Fritos around here for years, i don't know what happened.
We love ❤️ our Sour Cream and Onion chips here in Australia 🇦🇺 😋 👍
Yes we do indeed 🦘
Sour cream and 🧅 is a classic flavor of potato chip for sure!
We also have sour cream and onion chips in Australia.
We have them in germany aswell, i saw them in Poland and japan too.
Good grief, that gigantic pile of...erm...
I agree about saltwater taffy being mostly a beach thing, but you forgot about Laffy Taffy and Starburst are technically taffy too!

Hubba Bubba?
I was just thinking as you said "I have never tried bbq corn chips" that I have not either, and I imagine they would be pretty good.
Fritos makes a barbecue flavor that tastes pretty good.
@@KorinNicole they're oddly sweet

BBQ Cornchips are very popular here in Canada.
sourcream and onion as a chips flavor is actually not too uncommon. we have it in germany too even though we dont really have sour cream
We even have Sourcream and onion Plantain tostones! The brand Lams that Jared didn't review on this episode makes them on a pink package!
Hi Jared! We have a lot of sour cream and onion flavors here in Costa Rica! Thank you for visiting!
I love bubblegum flavor so I've gotta try that barrilete stuff!
Im a big fan of the Jelly Belly jelly beans, bubble gum, and tuti fruity flavors specifically.

it certainly is.

Hey thanks for your Pawpaw video, I watched it and was lucky enough to find some at farm stand. It's my new favorite fruit!
How you dare only eat 3
Junkfood gets out of hand! 😂💖
3:56 is would definitely watch a series of you trying different meats from around the world, think about it once you conquer the fruits of the world..
amazing content as usual
Much appreciated
We have sour cream and chive/onion quite a bit here in the UK!
What?!? You’ve never had BBQ flavored corn chips? Where do you want a bag of honey bbq Fritos sent to? 😂
I love guava alone. No chocolate needed! Lol
All powdered cheese tastes like powdered sour cream and onion. Same flavour
Fritos has bbq and honey bbq corn chips as well as chilli.
I absolutely love salt water taffy anytime of the year
Aggressively double checking the - a very relatable vegetarian move
Holy cow. I never noticed your werewolf arms. ^_^
Too much junk food? I'm jealous :D.
"chocolate liquor" is actually just the term for pure cocoa paste, and is not alcoholic.
Yes. I buy Luker unsweetened chocolate made in Colombia and it’s pretty much chocolate liquor despite being fairly solid at room temperature…
TAPITA is my all time favorite!
Can you still turn into a pretzel after eating all that?
BBQ Fritos were my favorite then they stopped selling them around here. Haven't seen them in YEARS. ( I don't mean the honey bbq twists)
Do another #DAB you can finish that pile in 15min 😜🤣🤣🤣
Junk food? ... thats snacks. Its ok to treat yourself well one or two days in a week. Junk food for me is a visit at mcdonalds or subway ;)
To me they are both junk food.

That's not chocolate liqueur. It's chocolate liquor, which is just the liquid version of chocolate, non-alcoholic. And we have bbq Doritos.
Sour cream and onion is everywhere in Europe
KEEP EATING THE JUNK!!!!!
"Chocolate liquor" usually doesn't contain alcohol
More please May I have some more please
