Hi Kate and Alex I like your videos. I have not looked at all the comments on this one, but wanted to add some trivia and apologize if same is repetitive. Switzerland does not have an official capital. Berne is 'only' the seat of the federal goverment, but the federal court is for example in Lausanne. Our founding fathers did not like to have so much power concentrated at one place. Swiss kids learn three languages in School: Their native language, English and the most spoken language after their native tongue. It is 60% German, 30% French and 10% Italian (this are only rough numbers and does not account for Romansh which is not widely spread). So if you grow up in the French speaking part, you learn French, English, German in this order. If you grow up in the German speaking part you learn German, English and French. If you grow up in the Italian speaking part it is Italian, English, German.
As someone who is from Switzerland but recently moved these videos help so much with the feeling of being homesick! Listening to you guys review some of my favourite childhood snacks makes me feel so at home! Thank you and im so glad you enjoyed some Swiss goodies!
Hello from ... Switzerland 😍 First of all, I don't like ice in my drinks (except for martini or other drinks), but they have to be cold, so you were absolutely right to take ice with Sinalco, because it was definitely not chilled. Ovomaltine, I don't know if you know that, but the chocolate is actually only "secondary", the main component is malt (that's why it's crunchy) and the name actually says it (Ovo-MALT-ine). The Ovomaltine (as a drink) was originally developed "to strengthen exhausted people", and is still considered "healthy" and strengthening during or after sports/hiking. The Ovaltine powder for milk drinks is also exported, but differs in that the Swiss version does not contain granulated sugar. Darvida, I find this a "terrible" product, when I open a packet of my favorite Darvidas (with sesame seeds) I can't stop until I'm either about to burst or the packet is empty. 😀 Well, it's just that, chocolate heaven is in Switzerland, and of course that also applies to chocolate drinks. At least you've known one for a while, Nesquick, because this is from Nestlé in Vevey/Switzerland. However, I don't know if yours was made in Switzerland (I suspect not, but that doesn't necessarily make it worse). Your video is great, you seem to be having fun, enjoy and share with us. 👍
To be fair, im bilingual but I never learned swiss germen, couldn’t stand the language so I stick to french and English 😅 still feels odd that I can’t communicate with half the people in my home country
🐮 What a FANTASTIC selection from Lorraine !! Luv seeing the pictures of how beautiful it is in Switzerland. Speaking of ice , I am in a tea group. And even in winter I ask the server for iced tea. I do get some weird looks. My saying is the glass is half empty and it needs 🐻❄️ ICE. I always ask for an extra cup of ICE at restaurants. At the tea with my group last weekend, they have a tiny British 🇬🇧 Shoppe and I bought alot of chocolate 🍫 bars for my granddaughter and a friend (and me of course). They were Lion Bars and my fav Aero (mint) and regular. You both describe everything in such detail now l NEED some chocolate.🧀 I luv Swiss Cheese. Blessings from California. 🐻
Oh my goodness! What a great start for this box! And the details she went into for it all! Just wow. Hope that you all are having an amazing week and can’t wait till the next part next week! Cheers you guys, and have a beautiful weekend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Well, I’m a massive malt fan, and thought I’d buy the Ovomaltine biscuits, on a certain website they’re £34.99 for three packs 😵 I’m going to search the internet. Are you aware of malt syrup? I’m 71 and, as a child was given a teaspoon of malt each night before teeth and bed. My grandmother had quite a large jar of malt in the bottom of a floor cupboard, she walked into the kitchen to find me sitting on the floor in a pool of malt syrup, my hands covered in it, stuffing as much as I could get into my hands, into my mouth!
My cousin-in-law served his Latter-day Saints (aka LDS or Mormon) mission in Switzerland and visits often. He always brings back chocolate and other food for everyone to try. 😋😋
Here in Canada & the US we have a chain of stores called Spirit Halloween that open just for Halloween. They sell Halloween decorations, as well as costumes and makeup. They are already open in most places! These stores are well known for their in-store displays Our craft stores like Michaels (or Joann Fabrics & Hobby Lobby in the US) have had Christmas items out for quite awhile already, however, that makes sense, when you think that they are marketed towards crafters, many of whom are selling their products at holiday craft sales, so they need time to create
I have been to Switzerland three times and I just love their chocolate. I always bring home my carry-on bag full of goodies. They also do a Paprika potato chip which is excellent as well.
Never knew it was an American thing to put ice in drinks. I did know that free refills aren't really a thing in the UK so maybe that's why we're ok with a ton of ice in our drinks because we know we'll be able to get more lol. I'm starting to put together a list of items to send again because they're starting to announce new items being released for the fall so I'm hoping they start popping up in local stores soon!
Yeah I feel like with the free refills maybe that’s why you get so much ice. Where as here if we order a pint of a soda and get half ice it’s very annoying as you just get hardly any drink and no refills! No way, Lindsey!! You don’t need to send us more ♥️♥️ you’ve already sent us so much!! That is so cool new fall items are being announced! Love hearing about new items!
That all looked delicious. I filled out another form last week. Hope I get an address in my email soon as to where to send the box of goodies I have for you.
Thanks for all the reviews, I like your real reactions to each snack. Here in America, I live in Wisconsin, we are famous for cheese, and a danish called Kringle. It’s funny because the shelves are filled with Christmas decor at our local Hobby Lobby stores. Too early for me. Continue to enjoy life and all the snacks, cheers, Elizabeth S, Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸
That was a good box. Everything looked really good, especially the cookie danish with the jam in the middle. There's a store here called Hobby Lobby and the already have about 8 aisles of Christmas decorations. Yikes!!!! Have a good one.
Switzerland is a wonderful place to visit😍. I was expecting to see some Lindt goodies in the box because you can't have a Swiss box without having some Lindt chocolate in it!! I reckon there'll be some Lindt stuff in the next Swiss video 🤔
I grew up in the "village" and still live here, where the "Lindt & Sprüngli" chocolate factory is located. I can assure you that there are far better chocolate manufacturers in Switzerland. Even the big ones like "Cailler" and "Frey" are better than "Lindt". But the little ones are really good, like "Max Chocolatier" from Lucerne, or "laflor", " Taucherli" and many more! By the way, my favorite chocolate comes from Denmark - "Friis-Holm". :)
Very different flavors. Interesting facts about Switzerland. The UK is close to so many different countries. We have Mexico or Canada. Even one of our states , Hawaii, is far away. And Alaska.
Most places put extra ice so they can skimp on the soda and still charge full price 🤷🏻 if you ever say no ice they don't fill the cup. I don't like ice in anything really, occasionally I will have it in a blended coffee but other then that 🤔
I'd love to send you a box of Alabama-made Golden Flake chips and snacks! Hopefully I'll be able to do that soon! :) All the snacks in this box sound so good - of course I've always heard that Swiss chocolate is very good. Have a great week guys!
Alot of sit down restaurants put ice in drinks as a filler. It saves them money 💰 You can order without ice 🧊 or ice on the side so you can add what you like.🤗
I may have bought my first Halloween item in homesense this week!!! Two ghost candles! I love them. 👻👻Crazy getting first bits for Christmas too!! I’ll have to go to my big homesense!! Love when they have the seasonal bits in!
Ich wohne in der Schweiz und bin sprachlos über die Bewertungen. Wow. Danke dafür.

Hey guys, we are gonna try to go to Switzerland next year. I hope it works out. Maybe we will be able to try some of these treats.
Oh wow!!! That would be awesome if you get to go!! Hopefully you do and you can try some of these treats
just bring loads of money, switzerland is expensive.
There is a grocery store called "Migros", you have to try the ice tea and try the brand's crisp call Zweifel
@@valeriebersier9525 and migros ice tea chewing gum. Yes that's a thing and it's glorious.
@flatterkatz i'm honestly surprised you guys can live there with such little pays and everything being so expensive
“Nature” in French, for describing a food item, means plain.
As someone who is from Switzerland but recently moved these videos help so much with the feeling of being homesick! Listening to you guys review some of my favourite childhood snacks makes me feel so at home! Thank you and im so glad you enjoyed some Swiss goodies!
I love ice in my drink especially iced tea, but the small pellet ice is the best!

Kate, have you had more blonde put through your hair. It looks lovely and really suits you 😍
Yes I have! Thank you Beverley 🥰🥰 it had been a while since I last had my hair highlighted so it looks very blonde doesn’t it!
You're comparing the cold chocolate milk with the leftover from a "Nesquik cereals". - You are aware that that's a Swiss product, too, aren't you.
Spitzbueb is a swissgerman word for a mischievous behaving boy when it is not to worse
Hey guys!! I'm back, I hope you guys remember me.. I haven't been commenting for a while now but I still watch your videos.👍
Hey Nour! Of course we remember you!! Hope you’ve been enjoying our videos 🥰
Do you people not know the difference between crispy and crunchy , they're TWO entire different things
ovomaltine does not originally male chocolate but malt products
Was that sweet penny in the background I love when she is on the vids she is soooo 🥰 cute
No one would eat Dar-vida with wine 😂 It’s actually more like a little snack for kids or when you go hiking, but I guess you can eat them whenever ! 😄
Thats amazing guys..send us some american sweets amk

I was taken back to my childhood when I saw the Sinalco! I always thought it was icelandic 🤣 if I remember right, it was made by Sana in Akureyri.😉😘
Thanks guys keep up the hard work 🌻
Thank you Will!! Means a lot
I have been to Switzerland three times and I just love their chocolate. I always bring home my carry-on bag full of goodies. They also do a Paprika potato chip which is excellent as well.
Oh wow!! How lucky 😍😍 haha love that. You couldn’t not bring back some chocolate! Mmm sounds delicious 😋 love Paprika!
Yes I love the paprika chips!!
Great box! Looking forward to the rest of the box. Everything looked yummy.
What a brilliant box.we haven't seen Swiss things featured so much so this was a real treat thank you 🙂🙂
Love the hair, Kate! Looks great!

never knew this either and I’m not American
I just know my dad don’t like ice in coke because it gets too watery
That all looked delicious. I filled out another form last week. Hope I get an address in my email soon as to where to send the box of goodies I have for you.
Ooo thank you for filling in the form Sue! I’ll check 🥰

Ahh yes our lovely friends sent us some Kringle to try and it was absolutely delicious 😋 you’re joking!!!! Christmas items 😱😱😱 that is crazy!!
That was a good box. Everything looked really good, especially the cookie danish with the jam in the middle. There's a store here called Hobby Lobby and the already have about 8 aisles of Christmas decorations. Yikes!!!! Have a good one.
That cookie was delicious 😋 such a nice flavour and texture! That is so crazy they already have Christmas items out already 😱😱😱 have a great one too!!
I don't know much French, but in New Orleans people speak French. My step family speaks Polish and they are from Minnesota origionally.
The reason why the Vogel Nestli is so nutty on the outside is, because you onyl use haselnutpoweder, eggwhite and sugar :)
Switzerland is a wonderful place to visit😍. I was expecting to see some Lindt goodies in the box because you can't have a Swiss box without having some Lindt chocolate in it!!
I reckon there'll be some Lindt stuff in the next Swiss video 🤔
Really hope that one day we can visit!! Ahh what a classic. Love lindt!

I'm with you, Kate - chocolate with hazelnut is played out!! Lol Hazelnut is not my fave

I don't like ice in anything really, occasionally I will have it in a blended coffee but other then that 🤔
You pronounced «Caramel Salé» perfectly !
I much prefer a thicker crisp. Not about the delicate crisps you know but all looks so so nice
omg, the people who send these giant candy boxes are crazy!
Hey guys I just love Thursday cause I get to watch your new vid u guys are awesome
I completely agree with Alex on when the small ice gets in the way when you're drinking!
Hey Kate & Alex how are you doing?
Wow that’s a high scoring box! 📦
What's the smiley face you eat

Hey Helena 😀 Hope you’re doing well!!
I'd love to send you a box of Alabama-made Golden Flake chips and snacks! Hopefully I'll be able to do that soon! :) All the snacks in this box sound so good - of course I've always heard that Swiss chocolate is very good. Have a great week guys!
Ooo they sound delicious 😋 they were all so delicious 😋 Yeah the Swiss chocolate was absolutely delicious! Hope you have a great week too
Alot of sit down restaurants put ice in drinks as a filler. It saves them money 💰 You can order without ice 🧊 or ice on the side so you can add what you like.🤗
Yes!! That’s so true! And if you don’t get free refills you gets hardly any drink!
Yeh Americans always ask where's the ice machine in the Hoteles. In the summer it makes sens but in the winter it's a bit weird for me.
Ahhh the ice machine in the hotel!! I remember that.
Kate, I wish I had Swiss chocolate right now.
They were so delicious 😋
We started selling Halloween things at the end of June in home sense and are in full swing , also getting first bits of Christmas stuff in too .
I may have bought my first Halloween item in homesense this week!!! Two ghost candles! I love them. 👻👻Crazy getting first bits for Christmas too!! I’ll have to go to my big homesense!! Love when they have the seasonal bits in!
I love shortbread and jam. They both looked good.
Such a great combo!!
I never woulda guessed you could grow sugar cane in Switzerland.
It's because we use beetroot... Not sugar cane!

Hey
Hey 👋🏻
What's going on
"Spitzbueb" basically means "naughty boy"
No
In USA, I drink only ice water after lunch. I don't ever just drink water.
I love ice water 😍😍
