Hey, kids!
I've received your feedback on 'Quality Street' and 'Galaxy Chocolates' being British, not Middle Eastern. So, I've done some research.
Galaxy is a brand from Mars, Incorporated. But, this chocolate in specific (Dates chocolates) is originated in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Galaxy is sold worldwide and they produce different chocolates targeted for different countries.
Quality Street is INDEED a chocolate originally from Britain, currently produced by Nestlé. I don't see any difference between the ones we tried and the ones that are sold in Britain, other than Arabic descriptions at the back of the can.
Thus, I've taken down Quality Street from the thumbnail to prevent more confusion in the future. I apologize for not having done enough research before filming the episode. Please do not blame the person who kindly sent us the snacks, since it is my job to check everything before making a video. If you're reading this, thanks again, Edwin!
Anyways, thank you for watching and hope you have a great day💚
ReacThing You too you have a good day💙💜❤️
Tins of Quality Street ARE Christmas for anyone born in the UK in the 70s and onwards
It’s not your fault the person sent you that they probably didn’t realise either 😂 as long as you guys enjoy the snacks that’s all that matters 💜
ReacThing hey, big fan of yours, Quality street is British, it’s undoubtedly much more popular in the Middle East
@@kirstyodonnell2628 same for us during Ramadan and eid gatherings 😋 along with the maamoul and small other snacks that weren't included
Guys, please consider that the person who sent this was traveling so she wasn't familiar with what's most representative! and also, she wanted to send chocolates bc Zoey and Yumi enjoy them!
Thank You for actually writing this comment ❤
Yes I live in middle east and there are many other things apart from dates and chocolates and the person was not from middle east than why did send the package named 'Middle East' really confused!!!
Right we don't only have dates to snack on
We have snickers mars and all that but dates are cultural and they go with everything in middle east and only in middle east so it's new for any foreigners that's why the sender was mainly focused on dates. X
Shagufta Varsi it’s middle eastern treats since they come from the Middle East
Middle Eastern snacks are normally packaged well because they are given as gifts for different occasions such as moving into a new house.
So not snacking-while-watching-netflix kind of snack? They really are built different
@@milkeyway7105 in my house we make sweets
@@milkeyway7105 yesss! These snacks are usually for guests or like special occasions and could be gifts! My mom would always buy these sweets as a gift for relatives or friends and she wouldn’t let me have some and I would be so grumpy about it 😂
I like your profile pic I hope I survive watching this last season😬
We would also give them gifts once they invite us to their house.
yumi speaking english is so cute
Yumi doing literally anything is so cute.
my little middle eastern self is so happy🥺💕
just to clarify,when i saw the title i was really excited so i commented when early!i’m still happy that they at least got something close to our snacks🤷🏽♀️
Oh my goodness same! I clicked so fast!

I only understand the word 'espero' 😂 ⬅ failed in Spanish
Nice job! 👍
Rusty? Your spanish is awesome!
Periodt 😌🇪🇸
Yumi speaking English is a blessing. I need more :’))
“The golden package yells oil money” 🤣
Love hearing Yumi speaking English. 😋
I have a big middle eastern family spread out between the UK and the USA and when I see some they bring a massive plate of homemade baklava from their local arabic shop and 🤩🤩
A box full of baklava...deadly 😍💀
@@DasherzloseMaedchen exactlyy
Baklava is amazing
Or zaatar and a WHOLE bunch of spices when you come back from the Middle East idk if this is just me 😂😂
I dont think this actually represents middle eastern snacks well ill try sending some that are actually popular
Yesss!!!! Represent us!!
true this is more of a guest spread
Too late they've already done it
Exactly 😭 where is the Baklava?
Please do!
Best line “ Why is this open?....”
Zoey had nothing to do with it😂
My friend and coworker is from Morocco. He went home for a couple months and when he came back he brought me an ENORMOUS bag of dates from his uncle’s trees.
I love dates from the store. But oh my, these were the best food I’ve ever eaten. It was like having dessert nuggets. I made myself sick eating them but I have no regrets, lol.
I agree! So different! We have a date farm in Palestine and when I went to visit over there, it was like eating caramels off a tree. I was craving them so much back in America, so one of my mom's patients (from Kuwait) brought me a huge expensive gold box of macadamia-stuffed dates. I tried to pace myself and only eat them as treats, but they were CRACKKKKK. I can't remember the name of the brand she ordered for me, but I NEED to find it and hoard them for my last meal when I'm about to die. Heavennnnnn!!!! 😍😍😍
YourMajesty143 if you find the name post it here!!! Y’all got me so curious!!!!
@@nancyhernandez2271 - You're just in time, I texted my mom yesterday asking her if she remembers the name and she did! Or at least her coworker did lol, since everyone in her office was addicted as well 😆 It's called "Bateel". They have their original bakeries based overseas, but they also now have a corporation in the US, so you won't have to pay for customs! And after looking at their website, I now understand why it tastes so much better. In the US, the only dates we eat are *Medjool,* but there's many more varieties of dates (just like apples or berries have varieties). The kind of dates that Bateel uses like *Segai, Sokari, Wanan, Ajwa, Khidri,* and *(my fave) Kholas* have a higher moisture content, so they require less chewing and melt in your mouth, like a super soft caramel. There's various options for fillings, but the one I tried had caramelized macadamia inside it. I recall it had a nice balance of crunchy & soft, sweet & salty, nutty & fruity. Remember, it's gourmet, so it's expensive. But it'd make a great Xmas gift....

@@YourMajesty143 wow I’ll have to order some to try a bit! TY!!! :)))))
Omgosh I went and checked out The website and they look spectacular!
During the lent (basically the Christian version of Ramadan)we'd bring date syrup as an alternative to chocolate cream 😋 (because during the lent you cannot eat meat or dairy and also middle Eastern Christians exist)
I think it was very nice of this person to think of Zoey and Yumi, "The Girls" while traveling abroad. What a very kind compliment.
“Oil money”
Now im certain that koreans actually think that everyone in the Middle East have their own oil in their houses 😂😂😂
It's true and we also live in the desert with camels as transportation,towels ad hats,mosques on every city block and bombings as alarm clocks and we all own ak 47s as well as a hostage room were captured journalists are raped tortured and executed in public it's real fun here give us a visit
@@Xerxes2528 💀💀💀
As a middle eastern i hate this kind of jokes, it's like I'm FUCKING brock i bearly could afford a meal and people look at us in that way makes me upset, i mean even if i gone to a foreigner country and People look at us as rich because we're from gulf
@@darkknight8222 Hollywood always protrays us as monstrous terrorists and they need "America" To stop them
I mean even in indonesia (which have a large arabs population) we still have this stigma of rich arab because of "oils money" 😂
The person who sent this bought all chocolate things specifically because you seemed to like it! So it was catered to treat you guys with chocolate.
I screamed “YESSS!!” I’m so excited for this!!!
Yumi's english accent is very cute. don't know why she doesn't speak english more often. Hi Miss Yumi, looking very pretty as always.
Representing your own culture is a powerful thing. Do you think the leaders of some countries don't speak English when the talking in front of the UN or with other world leaders? Bring people into your frame and worldview is power.
Well this isn't the UN and they aren't speaking to any world leaders. it's a youtube channel. i love hearing her speak korean. she has a very sweet voice either way. but, also love hearing her accent. that's not taking anything away from her culture. we all know she's a beautiful korean woman and respect her culture as well. speaking english every now and then wouldn't change how the world see's her or think any less of where she's from. i do understand what you're saying and respect it. Yumi may want to speak only Korean to bring us into their world and we are the guest in their home, so to speak. i get it. but it still doesn't change that fact that i love her english accent.
Zoey & Yumi were both on FIRE this episode!! Yumi throws some English words , and Zoey, wow grrrrl your humour is on point!
OMG finally you guys tried middle Eastern snacks , I wanted to send you some Egyptian snacks so you can try it out
Junglebook please doooo Egyptian snacks are the best!! I’m an Egyptian but i live in dubai
@@jannakhalaf7416 I'll collect a bunch of popular Egyptian snacks and send them to her
Yalah!! I’m so ready for that 😄
@@junglebook4605 yes yes please! Send me some too heheh, jk
@@junglebook4605 wallahi I stock up on snacks when I go to Egypt so good 😂😂
Yumi's English is so nice!
SO much fun to watch!! Your facial expressions are hilariously darling and so cute!
Yess my lebanese self is so happy right now 💗 glad you enjoyed
As a middle eastern, I am thankful for this person. However, I think they chose the most interesting ones and focused solely on chocolate while we do have more variety of snacks.
Yumi mentioned the difference in sizes for the chocolate but truly it's the dates. Dates come in a variety of sizes and tastes. As a person who grew up in the middle east and has been living in the US for a bit I can see how it is confusing espically since in the US the only type available is Californian dates which are completely different. Since many of the middle eastern countries have dry weather, it is easier to grow dates there. I am saudi Arabian and specifically in my family's hometown, you can go to date farms and festivals to see the diversity of dates.
Mamoul (the cookies) come in different looks depending on the region.
I can't wait until I go back to my country in the summer to find the most popular snacks (with chocolate too) and maybe a box of Arabian coffee to go along with it!
Thats so cool that your form Saudi! i'd love to visit there someday.
I am so happy u did this ( from the Middle East: Lebanon🇱🇧) love ur vids 💙
Omg i don’t think I’ve heard yumi speak in English before! Come on, multilingual queens! Also the reason why it might look like that person wrote in Spanish is because Spanish shares similar word to Arabic since Spain used to be an Islamic country so they share similar cuisines, words, and even phrases. Like Rice, in Spanish it’s arroz but in Arabic it’s roz both sound very similar to one another. Truly mind bending how many cultures are intertwined with one another.
i'm spanish and the person definitely wrote in Spanish hahaha! but i agree with what you said!
@@HarunaMaurer
You're right, Edwin was traveling in the Middle East, per his postcard
YESSSSSS FINALLY IM ARAB AND IM SO HAPPY
You're arab? Idk sir. You look japanese in your pfp

But that's just my p.o.v.
I'M SO SO HAPPY YOU TRIED SOME MIDDLE EASTERN SWEEEETS AAAAAAAAAAHH
I WISH THAT SOMEONE WHO REALLY KNOWS ABOUT THE MIDDLE EASTERN SWEETS COULD SEND YOU MORE CAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY THINGS BESIDE DATES AND CHOCOLATE >> I LOVE YOU😭😭😭💜
galaxy chocolate is good. i especially like the orange infused ones
Aw! Thank you for posting today! You always make my day better! 🥺👉👈💕
땡큐 ㅜㅜ
I’ve Been waiting for this one :)
Brroooo!! Yuki speaking English is ADORABLE!!!!
“This golden package yells oil money” I’m cryinggg😭😂you’re literally so funny🤣
I was born and raised in K.S.A and ligite quality street chocolate was what my dad would buy for us if we got into a fight cus it was the best.
And the wrapping paper was so cool too. My favorite were the caramel ones cus I didn't know the meaning of cavity
(~￣³￣)~
Yumi's English is so adorable. It's so nice hearing her speak it as well haha
These aren’t really a good representation of middle-eastern food, but I’m glad you guys enjoyed them nonetheless 💜
I don’t think your Middle Eastern.
@@AkAk-vy7oh I’m British South Asian but I have tried a fair amount of Middle eastern food 😊 Also Quality street is a British item so I would know that!
I'm a middle eastern but agree
Most people: associate middle east with wealth and prosperity
Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Palastine: am I a joke to you
Iraq is the richest or one of the wealthiest countries in the middle east, they just unfortunately get attacked and the people don't know how to run the country anymore.
The people are poor but the country itself really isn't.
And Iran to that lost we’re literally dying here haha
The person probably sent things they liked it doesn't have to be the most popular in that region, some of the UK snacks I'd never heard of but I didn't have a problem with it.
when ur here at the vid is uploaded 32 seconds ago... love u guys
My dad grew up in the Middle East, this video was so fun!
I get so jealous of my parents when they tell me they travelled/lived somewhere else 😂 I hope you got to see it as well! Or will one day have the chance to
We have Quality Streets in Britain too, its a household staple at Christmas time!
"yells oil money"
Still RUclips's sweetest ladies, can't get enough of you two lol, Yumi's English is superb btw ✌️🧡🇨🇦
I was just thinking about you ❤️❤️❤️ because I’ve switched from my phone to my tablet I opened RUclips on my phone and your the first thing I see 😍😍😍 thank God I’ve been depressed all week
Omg I was waiting for this!
You should try out lebanese snacks as well such as “unica and tarboosh “ and many more wish I could find a way to send but God knows with our postal service prices if I’ll be able to
As a Lebanese myself, I would also send Bzourat, Dabke,...
Serenity Lara yesss that’s a good idea kamen
also top juice and ringo chips!
thehollyrecyclebinsun you reminded me of those triangle juice from our childhoods bonjus

RUclips auto-translate has a reeeally hard time with Korean and it makes auto-generated subtitles hilaaarious xD
Love your videos! You ladies are sooo cute
This just made my day!!!
We have Quality Street in the UK at Christmas just with different packaging, those look a bit more classy! I saw the same in Oman Airport for ~£20 when the tin can cost sometimes 2 or £3 in the UK! I hope they taste less sickly than they do in the UK but I doubt that!
We also have the Quality Street chocolates in Canada! ☺️
I really like em so i sure hope i dont just have bad taste buds
omg yumi's english is so cute AHHHHHHHH
We get quality sweets in canada around christmas. They're awesome.
The quality street tin is a very common christmas gift in England. I remember being so excited about it, the green triangles are the tastiest!
Omgggg thank u I didn’t expect this aaaaa
yumi and zoe are the exact epitome of the chocolate fish in spongebob 😂

Ahh love you two~Yumi~Zoe~ Thanks for another snack video they're always so fun to watch

Im middle eastern and this meant so much to me 🥺❤️
"get it together, girl" - okay mom!
WOAH IM SO EARLY
Thanks for another amazing video
dates in the middle east are naturally enormous and I'm surprised the dates in the video are that small.
Not only do you make me smile and laugh but you answer questions about foods from other countries that I've wondered about! They must eat A LOT of dates in the middle east! Please, keep up your great work I really enjoy these videos! "Bye kids!!!"
Your channel is underrated you guys deserve at least 10 million subscribers.

YES IM TURKISH AND WAITED FOR THIS 👏🏻
Yaaay🥰, love you channel from Egypt 🇪🇬♥️
The water that yum was drinking looks so refreshing omg
I saw Quality Street in the thumbnail, clicked, and was immediately confused by the packaging. Up until this point, I assumed Quality Street were a solely UK thing, as I hadn't heard of them anywhere but the UK. So, seeing the box of Quality Street in different packaging, and with a different brand name (the brand is Nestlé in the UK), I paused the video and did some digging .
First I looked into Mackintosh's, figuring it was the original company the was bought out by Nestlé. I was right.
With a quick Wikipedia search, I found that the company was founded in 1890 when a sweet newly married couple bought a pastry shop in Halifax, England, and they decided to make toffees to reel in customers. The recipe was developed a bit, and the toffees were so successful that they were able to expand their business outside of Halifax, in 1894 (these toffees are also the reason toffees are called toffees, as before the word 'toffee' was defined as any sugar or boiled sweet).
Skipping ahead a fair few years, Mackintosh's started expanding their business overseas, starting in Asbury Park, New Jersey, in1904, which soon failed. However they tried again in Krefeld, near Dusseldorf, in 1906, and by 1914 they had been established in Canada and Australia.
Skipping some more details, I found on the Quality Street Wiki page that the business was inherited by the couple's son (Harold) when his dad died, and in 1936 he invented Quality street. This bit I'd heard before (presumably from adverts or I read it on the tin as a kid). Harold's aim was to create affordable chocolates for the working class, as only the rich could afford boxes of chocolate at the time.
The Mackintosh's brand was bought out by Nestlé when the bought 'Roundtree Mackintosh' in 1988 (that brand is a whole other bag of worms. I've only skimmed over the page but I think there was a merger at some point.).
The fact there's other business overseas, makes sense of the difference in packaging, but apparently the difference in brand name is because it's known as different things in different countries. For example, in Western Norway it's known as 'Shetlandsgod' /'Shetland Snoops' because it was commonly brought home by fishermen visiting Shetland, and in Iceland it's simply known as 'Mackintosh' (they didn't explain why for that one though).
I thought I'd report my findings cos I found it interesting, and there's gotta be some other confused Brit's besides me out there.
In the UK, Quality Street are really popular, especially round Christmas, but they're sold all year round (usually given as birthday or anniversary gifts, from what I've noticed). I've not had Quality Street for many years because I have a dairy intolerance, but they're a British staple and I envy the other people in my household (just a little bit), as there's a tub of Quality Street sat in our living room. With all that said, I can finally watch the video. I hope you all found this as interesting as I did (I recommend looking at the Wiki pages).
@Gi Gi Our Quality Street have Toffee Penny and a Toffee finger (which is basically a stick of toffee wrapped in chocolate). I noticed a silver wrapper with blue writing in the video, and I'm not sure what that is (I think we had that here and it was discontinued), but (to my knowledge) the toffee's have always been un the UK box. DO you not have any toffee in the Canada box? If not, I wonder why.
@Gi Gi I don't know if we have the separate toffees here. We definitely have other Quality Street products, but if we have separate toffees then they're not as popular here.
When most of us think of having dates with Yumi, this isn't what we have in mind.
Yumi is yummy.
You two together are so entertaining!!💖💖💖
We actually more normal chocolate than chocolate dates and basically have everything everyone else does. Galaxy is also a huge chocolate brand here i dont really find it anywhere else and its very unique. My childhood i mostly remember having different chips, alot of different biscuit brands that were arabic and that one blue biscuit box, jammie biscuits, crackers. Defenitley carmel candies for some reason theyre popular here and i remember as a child always getting them from my grandma.
(Ps this is how it was for me so if it was different for u dont hate just comment if u want)
I feel like sending a bigger variety of middle eastern snacks, so they can taste other snacks like Baklava, Gandour chocolates, Arabian mixed nuts and so on
I love your expressions, thank you for your content and videos :)
It's amazing the differences in snacks across the world and cool there are some ways to get them. US has boring snacks compared to other countries I've seen.
I actually enjoy eating all of these snacks.. glad you liked them 🥰
Now grandma ok needs to try some before zoey and yumi eat it all 😂❤️
Fun new game: Watch Yum's eyes during the vid, especially when Zoey is teasing her 🤣
유미의 눈이 이리저리 날아 굉장히 재미있어! 고마워요!
I love the wrappers on Quality Street chocolate. It's like a box of jewels.
You girls are so beautiful keep up the good reacts, doin a good job
I have a Saudi office mate and when she goes home for a visit she always brings dates back from her parents' farm as a gift. Soooo good.
@ 4.35mins Haha that side glance from Yumi when Zoey wants to do the whole 'cheers' and it's already been in Yumis mouth/licked hahaha
I replay her speaking english so much. SO CUTE
I think this is the first time I’ve heard Yumi speak English. She’s so good! 😱😇
YUMI'S ENGLISH IS SO CUTE OMG QUEEN
I’m surprised, quality street are a classic English chocolate. Very common in big tins like that around Christmas
lol im dumb when your friend was reading the postcard i thought she was speaking in the senders language and i understood it in english. my brain didn't put together she was speaking english till 5 minutes later. oh my god i need jesus
Can you guys please do Pakistani snacks next? 🥺 Thank youu
edit: I just noticed that the last snack you guys tried is actually one of the snacks I would eat ALL THE TIME when I was like 8 years old haha
yumi speaking in english!! !! the platonic love never ends! T_T
Yumi!!! I love your English! Please use it more often 👍❤️
I've seen the Mcintosh chocolate selection here in the UK. Its very 'Quality Street'
