The Bravo weekly magazine has been around since the late 1950s, most teenagers read it. It has articles about the celebrities teenagers like, and sex education (called "Aufklärung" in German), contraception, STDs etc. The readers can also write and ask questions about all sorts of teenager issues regarding sex, puberty, relationships, problems with parents and the like, like what's called "agony aunt" in English.

Spargel is white asparagus. First, mom said the packaged asparagus was not fresh (you can see it at the part where it is cut, if it is moist it is fresh), then he showed her a glass of pre-cooked asparagus and she did not want that either (neither would I)…
*about $ vs € :* when watching youtube videos, you can do some easy conversions that give a rough estimate to quickly understand about prices and measurements in videos, with "rounding errors" of less than 10%. of course you can do exact calculations, but eg exchange rates for money change all the time, you would need to know the date a video was made, then look it up on the internet, and still be wrong when you don't also consider wages, other prices, inflation, taxes, etc. such "10% error estimates" usually are good enough for me while watching and not seeing taxes included, and thus you can simply say 1$=1€ while the exact conversion *today (22aug24)* would be 1$ = 0.90€ (during the last 5 years 0.82-1.03€) or 1€ = 1.11$ (during the last 5 years 0.97-1.22$). for other measurements, 1 mi = 1.6 km, 1 km = 0.6 mi, 4 inch = 10 cm, 40 inch = 1 m, 1 foot = 30 cm, 1 yard = 1 m (more exactly 0.9m), 10 foot² = 1 m², 1 kg = 2 lbs (2.2 rounded down), and a gallon is more or less than 4 liter depending on whether you use US-gal or UK-gal
Oh yes that tin - I'm sure it was an old tin for black tea, but grandma always had sweets for us children in it. Werther's and some cherry things covered in sugarpowder. She also had a larger tin, with biscuits for teatime. I recommend looking up "east frisian tea ceremony"

@8:50: There is the same problem in Germany with food made "in" Germany. Example: If you buy a "really" fresh North Sea crab sandwich, straight from the fishing boat, at the fish market in Hamburg harbor, it is extremely expensive. But in the supermarket you can buy the Breadrolls for 29 cents and the crabs already packed in a bowl for 1/4 of the price. There is a TV documentary that explains that the "so-called fresh crabs" are brought to Morocco in refrigerated trucks, where they are peeled and packaged. Then they come back to the German supermarkets.

Or you forget to take the coin. I saved an old Mark, for this purpose. And what should I say... Sombody stole the coin IN the supermarket, when I took a minute to check something. I never would have expected that, nor I have a clue, how it was done...
11:25 Werthers Original is german, AFAIK.. it might be austrian.. but definately not british! Every german that was a kid in the 90s, knows: "...Heute bin ich der Großvater..". Which was from the commercial, where the grandfather tells a story about his childhood memories, getting "Werthers" from his Grandpa... "Now I am the grandfather... And of course, my grandson gets Werthers Original (Werthers Echte at that time), because he, also, is something special." That was the whole ad... and most of us 80s and 90s kids, still got that engraved in our brains. Not british. ;) 17:20 Photographers need photoshop.. that is what is was made for.. and the AI included, really helps professional photographers make money.

Hi Dwayne, did you know that the famous Scotch whisky is and was much cheaper here in Germany than in Scotland itself? When our friends from Scotland visited us for the first time over 20 years ago, they discovered that a bottle of Glenfiddich cost around 15-20 DM here and around 20 pounds in Scotland. I like your videos, keep it up. Love and peace from Hannover, Germany. Klaus
Wirklich? Ich habe die "gebührenpflichtigen" Einkaufswägen, zum ersten mal in Frankreich gesehen. Das war 1983 und die Franzosen, mussten mit einem 10- Franc Stück arbeiten (dass waren damals ungefähr 3,30 DM). In meiner Gegend, gab es noch 1987 Schüler, die Einkaufswagen auf dem Parkplatz eingesammelt haben...

Lays and Walkers are essentially the same product with different branding depending on the region. Lays is marketed globally, including in countries like the U.S. and Germany, while Walkers is the brand used in the UK and Ireland, though both are owned by PepsiCo.
@Dwayne's Lens You are right Dwayne, the prices are not like two years ago anymore, We have not only Inflation, we also have shrinkflation (shrinking + inflation), so even lesser content in the package. Moneyskimming in both ends and it's getting worser/sicker. For example I used to get 250g Bake Rolls for 1,39€, but now it's 150g AND 1,89€ each pack. That's a +127% rise. Or my favorite's Chips packsize was 175g now it's shrinked to 150g. Roasted Sparerips flavor of a wellknown Brand even have only 110g. Or my favorite Salami-Brand was for 100g and 1,99€, now it's just 80g AND 2,49€-2,99€ The list can fills pages, so much BS nowadays. -_-
Werther's Original (formerly Werthers Echte) is a brand of caramel sweets. The name refers to the small town of Werther, where August Oberwelland founded the Werthersche Zuckerwarenfabrik and today's August Storck KG in 1903, and where the confectioner Gustav Nebel is said to have invented the sweet six years later. According to the manufacturer, Werther's Original is now available in over 80 countries and is Storck's most successful brand worldwide.
What they now call Schaumkuss or Schokokuss was originally called Negerkuss. It actually upsets me that they had to change the name - the German word "Neger" does not carry the same connotations that the similar-sounding English word does, but US influences are slowly changing that. Granted, I do think the new names are better, I just don't like the reason for the change.
@@alidemirbas6566 where i live, we had both and they were completely different things : Negerküsse are made from eggwhite and sugar, while Mohrenköpfe were bigger layerd cakes. they only have in common that they are somewhat round and coated with chocolate, and that some people complain about those names. context is everything ... there really are people who complain that crayons in america are available with spanish labels and the writing "negro" (=black) btw: we also had "Amerikaner" : dough like american donuts, but missing the tools to make them round rings, they were baked on a flat sheet, and thus turning into flat disks). they were mostly available with white sugar frosting or black sugar+cocoa frosting, or also half&half with each half covered by those two frostings
@@Yotanido I once saw an American tourist go to a German restaurant that also had Negerweißbier on the beer menu and he was flabbergasted as to why they called the beer that.
@Yotanido: That's not true, at least not exactly. Quote from Wikipedia: "[...] the word 'Neger' [...] is a loanword from the French nègre, which in turn is derived from the Spanish negro, the successor form of the Latin niger ("black")." That may seem to be the same, but it isn't. It is correct that the Latin "niger" was used at the beginning. But then it was first used by the Spanish and Portuguese slave traders: "negro". After that the French came with "nègre", although it is interesting that at this point it becomes clear that it is no longer about the color, because there has been another word for "black" all along, namely "noir". The easy conclusion "'Neger' is another word for black" or "'Neger' just means dark-skinned" is not true. The slave traders did not use this word to simply describe dark-skinned people, but enslaved people with dark skin (emphasis on "enslaved"). That's when people started to no longer be named according to their origins, but according to "insignificant physical characteristics". It is therefore very closely linked to racial theory, "colonialism, slavery and racial segregation" and was actually meant to be derogatory from the very beginning. Love and peace from Hannover, Germany. Klaus
Nope! The inflation started in October 2021, after Covid was in grip. The damn war in the east, drove the inflation, to the next level. And the war was already started, as the video was done. You can see it clear at the "Bravo" scene. They were stickers inside "Stop the war"...
I can well imagine that pineapples from Hawaii are more expensive there than elsewhere. I live in Germany, only about 40 km from Switzerland. Swiss cheese (e.g. Appenzeller) is much more expensive there than in the supermarket here. Lindt chocolate is also cheaper here 😂
maybe after production (or for canning them) they first send ALL of the pineapples to continental usa, and then send them back for selling, thus causing double transport and high prices ???
@@Anson_AKB I get him those way... I you go to a farmer in Hawaii, they will charge you 5 bucks, for a whole pinapple. And it looks like, the 2 went to Hawaii toghether...
I saw a couple of American tourists getting sweets from a German supermarket there. They got a packet of Dickmann and they started laughing as to why they were called like that .
"Dick" in the name of sweets sounds funny to americans as well as germans, since it would translate to "fat man" :-) but in reality it is just a name like many other brands that also got their names from their owner, founder or inventor, eg haribo = "HAns RIegel from BOnn", and shoes from Adi Dassler (thus "adi das" and not american "a didas")
@@Anson_AKB Sorry to disappoint you but I think that "Dick" was not understood as "fat". "Dick" is also a slang term for what distinguishes men from women 😉. Love and peace from Hannover, Germany. Klaus
@@saintklaus5770 i has assumed THAT (this false friend) to be the cause for the americans' amusement, and only wanted to add that it sounds funny to germans as well, because in german it might mean "fat man" (literal translation). which leads to the interesting question about the origin of surnames. maybe the first one in medieval ages got it as distinctive nickname because he was fat ? :-)

1:45 thats a quiet strange question... "why would you bring it back for the plastic thing, it's just a plastic thing" well, guess what this thing cost? or do they grow on trees in his neighbourhood? if you don't bring it back and buy always a new "plastic thing" for one euro to get a new cart, you can also put the one euro coin in and leave it in the cart where ever you parked... result is the same... yeah ik there are occasions where you'll get these as a promotional gift, but not enough to use a new one for every shopping tour.
Ok, you love MAOAM.. I live near the production fabric. MAOAM is a part of HARIBO since some years. Other point: HD SEAGATE Expansion Portable, Exclusive Edition Festplatte, 4 TB HDD, 2,5 Zoll, extern, black actually 118,49 €/100,43 pounds ( but I do not know if Mediamarkt will deliver to GB)

I'm german, and fall in love with "Walkers" while I've worked in the UK. Back in germany I search for the brand... and the brand of "Lays" looks same but the taste is different. The "Lays" are thicker and you can't get the same flavour. It's so disappointing!!!😢

When he talks about prices he says "dollars", of course he means "euros"!!! 😊 „Schokoküsse“/“Chocolate kisses” (also called „Schaumküsse“/“foam kisses”) were previously called „Negerküsse“/“Negro kisses” or „Mohrenköpfe“/“Moor heads” - the names come from colonial times - but were renamed in Germany because of the racist aspect! Latin German English corona = Krone = crown
HARIBO is akronym from the name of the Founder and the name frome the city where he was lived. it is HA-RI-BO and means HAns - RIegel - where lived in thy City BOnn !
I read something about it in Mirror. As I remember Walker sold it's crisps to an American business company. And Lay's bought this company, because the Walker crisps had a better quality. They kept the name in UK and Ireland, because it was an established brand name, but changed the recipe of Lay's chips or changed the Walker crisps name to Lay's. The reason Lay's is easier to pronounce for immigrants than Walker.
Why for other countries? Hawaii is a US state president Obama (americans still refere to former presidents as president) was from Hawaii and he wonders why after being shipped to LA (additional costs) they´re so much cheaper. Once: mass price reduction compared to buying ONE and since Dole exports around the globe, probably scarcity on the island + tourist tax. Who goes to a tourist place and doesn´t expect getting ripped off 😂 And the german looking guy at the end was a handy man so he propably bought lunch for the guys 😆
As addition ... which company is behind "Kaufland"? Dwayne I guess you know the discount brand "Lidl". As present in the U.K. - and many other countries. Those "Kaufland" (Buy land)-Supermarkets in Germany are run by exactly the same company / group. It is the "Schwarz Gruppe (Group)" - named after the guy who founded it (it is his last name) - and this "Schwarz Group" is - by turnover the biggest commercial enterprise for food (and else) in Europe. Even bigger than ALDI. And any other british, frensh, italian company.Tesco, Asda, Carrefour or else. "Kaufland" is one of their brands - just having a much wider range of products (like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Marks and Spencers) than you get in your Lidl. Some numbers: At Lidl - a normal market offers around 4.300 food and non food products. A Kaufland supermarket has around 30.000 different products - and is usually between 5 up to 10 times bigger (aka has more space) than the Lidls. Lidl: The latest are up to 1.700 square meter - older ones about 1.200 ... or less. Kaufland: 4.000 - to 7.000 sqm - with the "Flagship Kaufland" in Heilbronn/Neckarsulm Germany (Headquaters in walking distance) with 12.000 square meter. For Germany - that thing is huge! And the founder - now in his 80ies - is in the top 3 of the wealthiest germans.
Pasteurized milk is more healthy than fresh from the udder, as you have a 1-10% chance to basically kill your stomach :-D Pasteurized also does not mean .1% fat or sth. usually we have 3.5%, 'light' milk with 1.5% and sometimes 3.8%. Why they chose this number? I don't know.
That's my city that store is maybe 10-15 minutes by car away and I never was there xD it's too big... I have discounter stores on the other side of my street why drive there xD
To be fair the original name there is the west and the east german version of it The east germsn one is a mittle bit more questionable even though but For the west german if this term was not used as an insult i think thdn it could be something nice like kisses are nice and kisses from strongly melanined people like you sure are also nice But of couse some people had to use the word, wich originally just stranslated to the color Black, as an racist slur and now were eating chockolet kisses and dickmans 😅
I'm also surprised about who buys Bravo and other teen magazines nowadays? How do they survive? I mean old people "Fernsehzeitung" fine. But this stuff....?!

Und ich dachte er geht ins Siemens Schuhmarkt. Bin kein Fan von kaufland. Die kleinen discounter sind besser. Und wirklich frisch gibt's bei uns mittwochs und samstags auf dem Wochenmarkt. Dort verkaufen die Bauern aus der Umgebung selbst 😊.
I don't think it's that bad to name a sweet treat after the kiss of a black man. That's literally what it means. It's not related to the American slur against black people (from the slavery back then) It's related to the Spanish word for black. It's literally a black person's kiss, that referes to a sweet and delicious treat
I, a German potato, love the English wine gums. Before the EU, they were available duty-free on the ferry to Denmark, but not, or rarely and then expensively, in the German supermarket. Regarding the milk: I grew up on a farm and basically drank the milk straight from the cow's udder. That's why I never had Corona even though I wasn't vaccinated. ;)
The experience is just identical, cause it's the european way. Only north americans think it belongs only to Germany, but we know it better, isn't it? 😎
Hi, Dwayne! Oh yes, the prices have raised! 😡 The obsession about Harry & Megan comes from at least 2 things, I guess.

This is fascinating for the people. It`s true what you said about the milk! 🤓👍

Schocko Küsse (Chocolate Kisses) used to be called "N-word" Kisses. My parents in Hungary still call them N...-Kisses, and they still call Black people that way too, because that's how, in these languages, they were normally called, without any negative thoughts (mostly). Especially Hungary has no historical connections to Black people, so they never used the N-word in a negative way; it simply meant "black" from Latin. Anyhow, we also have a candy called N... Candy, and the logo of that is a chimney sweep because this candy is black and cleans your throat with its mint-anise flavor, just like a sweep cleans chimneys.
So funny :D :D :D this is the Kaufland where i shop as well :D my city. By the way i think i am with 28 Years a grandma :D I have a glass full of little candys :) And the old name of "Schokoküsse" (Chocolate kisses) was "N*ga kisses" (n*igga kisses) I have a black friend and she say it is a compliment for her because these are sweet and if we call it like this we say that her kisses are sweet. :) I think that the new name is better.

I don't even like react content but I can't stop watching your videos...
'Vielen Dank für ihren Einkauf ' means 'Thank you for shopping'
'Thank you for visiting' would be
'Danke für ihren Besuch' 🤓
On my way to elementary school back then, there lived a friendly grandma along the way. And she always gave me and my friends Werthers Original bonbons/candies. (*µ*)
Werther is a city in Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany and the candy is a German invention
That was a Ciabatta not a Baguette.
Every Oma has to have Werther's Echte 😁
haha, that guy "I don't understand why they want it back when it is just a plastic thing" 😂 Because we want to use that token over and over again? LOL
If something goes wrong and the mechanism is "kaputt", we won't lose money! That simple.
Or you forget to take the coin. I saved an old Mark, for this purpose. And what should I say... Sombody stole the coin IN the supermarket, when I took a minute to check something. I never would have expected that, nor I have a clue, how it was done...
11:25 Werthers Original is german, AFAIK.. it might be austrian.. but definately not british!
Every german that was a kid in the 90s, knows: "...Heute bin ich der Großvater..". Which was from the commercial, where the grandfather tells a story about his childhood memories, getting "Werthers" from his Grandpa... "Now I am the grandfather... And of course, my grandson gets Werthers Original (Werthers Echte at that time), because he, also, is something special." That was the whole ad... and most of us 80s and 90s kids, still got that engraved in our brains.
Not british. ;)
17:20 Photographers need photoshop.. that is what is was made for.. and the AI included, really helps professional photographers make money. I work as a Wedding Pic guy, and it saved my "work" loads of times.
Greetings from Bremen.
Dont know if we will see it in this Video, but if not take notes: "the best supermarket in germany is tegut. The only one that still sells "leberkäsweck" for 1€. In rewe it is 1.90€ right now
Over her in my (German) neck of the woods, there are a lot of trolleys hacked. They're not locked, someone has got them off without leaving anything in the slot. Nevertheless, the trolleys are always brought back to their place...
Hi Dwayne,
did you know that the famous Scotch whisky is and was much cheaper here in Germany than in Scotland itself?
When our friends from Scotland visited us for the first time over 20 years ago, they discovered that a bottle of Glenfiddich cost around 15-20 DM here and around 20 pounds in Scotland.
I like your videos, keep it up.
Love and peace from Hannover, Germany.

I'm sure it's just a slip-up while he is saying Dollars often, but the prices are in Euro in Germany.
At 25:25 is a handyman in work clothes. I think!
The shopping carts with rotating wheels at the front and back were invented by the Wanzl company in Germany, as was the chip deposit system.
Wirklich? Ich habe die "gebührenpflichtigen" Einkaufswägen, zum ersten mal in Frankreich gesehen. Das war 1983 und die Franzosen, mussten mit einem 10- Franc Stück arbeiten (dass waren damals ungefähr 3,30 DM). In meiner Gegend, gab es noch 1987 Schüler, die Einkaufswagen auf dem Parkplatz eingesammelt haben...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Moin, Horst Merchel hat 1979 das Pfandschloss für den Einkaufswagen erfunden , desweiteren auch den klappbaren Kindersitz im Einkaufswagen und vieles mehr. Die Patentnutzung hat Wanzl Deutschland ( weltweit größter Einkaufswagengersteller) und der französische Hersteller Vendoret.
Lays and Walkers are essentially the same product with different branding depending on the region. Lays is marketed globally, including in countries like the U.S. and Germany, while Walkers is the brand used in the UK and Ireland, though both are owned by PepsiCo.
I love his mom
You won't get Haribo for 59 cent anymore - not even as a limited offer.
For 79 cent they sell often at Rewe or Penny
@Dwayne's Lens
You are right Dwayne, the prices are not like two years ago anymore, We have not only Inflation, we also have shrinkflation (shrinking + inflation), so even lesser content in the package. Moneyskimming in both ends and it's getting worser/sicker.
For example I used to get 250g Bake Rolls for 1,39€, but now it's 150g AND 1,89€ each pack. That's a +127% rise.
Or my favorite's Chips packsize was 175g now it's shrinked to 150g. Roasted Sparerips flavor of a wellknown Brand even have only 110g.
Or my favorite Salami-Brand was for 100g and 1,99€, now it's just 80g AND 2,49€-2,99€
The list can fills pages, so much BS nowadays. -_-
"Mohrenkopf "was used for something sweet ,tasty and desired...could be worse!!!😂❤
that curry ketchup is really the greatest ever! i just had it today with schnitzel ❤
Werther's Original (formerly Werthers Echte) is a brand of caramel sweets. The name refers to the small town of Werther, where August Oberwelland founded the Werthersche Zuckerwarenfabrik and today's August Storck KG in 1903, and where the confectioner Gustav Nebel is said to have invented the sweet six years later. According to the manufacturer, Werther's Original is now available in over 80 countries and is Storck's most successful brand worldwide.
What they now call Schaumkuss or Schokokuss was originally called Negerkuss. It actually upsets me that they had to change the name - the German word "Neger" does not carry the same connotations that the similar-sounding English word does, but US influences are slowly changing that.
Granted, I do think the new names are better, I just don't like the reason for the change.
@@alidemirbas6566 where i live, we had both and they were completely different things :
Negerküsse are made from eggwhite and sugar, while Mohrenköpfe were bigger layerd cakes.
they only have in common that they are somewhat round and coated with chocolate, and that some people complain about those names.
context is everything ... there really are people who complain that crayons in america are available with spanish labels and the writing "negro" (=black)
btw: we also had "Amerikaner" : dough like american donuts, but missing the tools to make them round rings, they were baked on a flat sheet, and thus turning into flat disks).
they were mostly available with white sugar frosting or black sugar+cocoa frosting, or also half&half with each half covered by those two frostings
@@Yotanido I once saw an American tourist go to a German restaurant that also had Negerweißbier on the beer menu and he was flabbergasted as to why they called the beer that.
You are wrong, it had the connotation all the time. Just read the Wikipedia article. Please stop using this word, it has racist connotation. period
The connotation was the same as in english. You people just didn't care enough to be polite to people who look different than you.
@Yotanido: That's not true, at least not exactly. Quote from Wikipedia: "[...] the word 'Neger' [...] is a loanword from the French nègre, which in turn is derived from the Spanish negro, the successor form of the Latin niger ("black")."
That may seem to be the same, but it isn't. It is correct that the Latin "niger" was used at the beginning. But then it was first used by the Spanish and Portuguese slave traders: "negro". After that the French came with "nègre", although it is interesting that at this point it becomes clear that it is no longer about the color, because there has been another word for "black" all along, namely "noir". The easy conclusion "'Neger' is another word for black" or "'Neger' just means dark-skinned" is not true.
The slave traders did not use this word to simply describe dark-skinned people, but enslaved people with dark skin (emphasis on "enslaved").
That's when people started to no longer be named according to their origins, but according to "insignificant physical characteristics". It is therefore very closely linked to racial theory, "colonialism, slavery and racial segregation" and was actually meant to be derogatory from the very beginning.
Love and peace from Hannover, Germany.

Werther'S are a brand of Storck, Storck is a German sweets manufacturer, most know brands are werther's, riesen , nimm2 and knoppers
This video was shot before inflation the haribo had a 100% inflstion from original price even more considering the size schrinkage
Nope! The inflation started in October 2021, after Covid was in grip. The damn war in the east, drove the inflation, to the next level. And the war was already started, as the video was done. You can see it clear at the "Bravo" scene. They were stickers inside "Stop the war"...
Yes, I loved that tin of my grandma, and imagine, in the 1960th we seldom got sweets, only my grandma always had some.
Werthers original former name was Werthers echte... Because they are German mate xD
Werthers (Stork) are a german brand, ofcourse we have them
GIV often creates pretty good content. Good to see he's on your radar. When will you visit Germany? Any plans?
I can well imagine that pineapples from Hawaii are more expensive there than elsewhere. I live in Germany, only about 40 km from Switzerland. Swiss cheese (e.g. Appenzeller) is much more expensive there than in the supermarket here. Lindt chocolate is also cheaper here 😂
Good chocolate Austrian ?
@@gregorygant4242 Lindt? No, it's from Switzerland
maybe after production (or for canning them) they first send ALL of the pineapples to continental usa,
and then send them back for selling, thus causing double transport and high prices ???
@@Anson_AKB I get him those way... I you go to a farmer in Hawaii, they will charge you 5 bucks, for a whole pinapple. And it looks like, the 2 went to Hawaii toghether...
I saw a couple of American tourists getting sweets from a German supermarket there.
They got a packet of Dickmann and they started laughing as to why they were called like that .
"Dick" in the name of sweets sounds funny to americans as well as germans, since it would translate to "fat man" :-)
but in reality it is just a name like many other brands that also got their names from their owner, founder or inventor,
eg haribo = "HAns RIegel from BOnn", and shoes from Adi Dassler (thus "adi das" and not american "a didas")
@@Anson_AKB Dick to Anglo-Saxons sounds like a male organ that's why they laugh !
I've tried Dickmann's they are very good .
@@Anson_AKB Sorry to disappoint you but I think that "Dick" was not understood as "fat".
"Dick" is also a slang term for what distinguishes men from women 😉.
Love and peace from Hannover, Germany.
Klaus
@@saintklaus5770 i has assumed THAT (this false friend) to be the cause for the americans' amusement,
and only wanted to add that it sounds funny to germans as well, because in german it might mean "fat man" (literal translation).
which leads to the interesting question about the origin of surnames. maybe the first one in medieval ages got it as distinctive nickname because he was fat ? :-)
You would be great at German. Your pronunciation was awesome! 👍Greetings from Berlin.
Make your own curry and ketchup: You can find the recipes online, there are good, ready-made spice mixtures. have fun, Dwayne🌭🍔🌮 greetings from germany
👵👋
1:45 thats a quiet strange question... "why would you bring it back for the plastic thing, it's just a plastic thing"
well, guess what this thing cost? or do they grow on trees in his neighbourhood? if you don't bring it back and buy always a new "plastic thing" for one euro to get a new cart, you can also put the one euro coin in and leave it in the cart where ever you parked... result is the same...
yeah ik there are occasions where you'll get these as a promotional gift, but not enough to use a new one for every shopping tour.
Ok, you love MAOAM.. I live near the production fabric. MAOAM is a part of HARIBO since some years.
Other point: HD SEAGATE Expansion Portable, Exclusive Edition Festplatte, 4 TB HDD, 2,5 Zoll, extern, black actually 118,49 €/100,43 pounds ( but I do not know if Mediamarkt will deliver to GB)
0% fat milk, but Müllermilch Banane... exactly my kind of humor.
The guy with the beer in the parking lot is most likely a handyman off work doing his shopping on the way home.
Aren't people doing that anywhere else and look like... that?
Hela Ketchup is really good :)
my granny ad a sweet box. that are childhood memories^^ ( born in 86 so old old memories)
I'm german, and fall in love with "Walkers" while I've worked in the UK. Back in germany I search for the brand... and the brand of "Lays" looks same but the taste is different. The "Lays" are thicker and you can't get the same flavour. It's so disappointing!!!😢
Nope. 4 kids in the car along with my purse. I’m not hiking to the entrance to return a cart. I’ll return it to some of those corrals scattered through the lot
i have been to egypt multible times you can go pretty cheap if your out of main seasons but i suggest a 4 or 5 star hotel at best one that friends can recomend
Germans love the Queen and they will hear the news😂
When he talks about prices he says "dollars", of course he means "euros"!!! 😊
„Schokoküsse“/“Chocolate kisses” (also called „Schaumküsse“/“foam kisses”) were previously called „Negerküsse“/“Negro kisses” or „Mohrenköpfe“/“Moor heads” - the names come from colonial times - but were renamed in Germany because of the racist aspect!
Latin German English
corona = Krone = crown
HARIBO is akronym from the name of the Founder and the name frome the city where he was lived. it is HA-RI-BO and means HAns - RIegel - where lived in thy City BOnn !
"Tee trank er, Aal aß sie" is german and means, he drank tea and she ate eel. If said quickly it sounds french. He can´t speak french.
The hat, the hair, the body shape. Everything screams American :)
But his thick "Ruhr aera" dialect tells German...
Walkers ist lays? Whow.... Always Loved Walkers... But lays are Just the Same?
Löffel = Spoon
My guess would be that firms (such as Lays) change their product names in GB because there is already some product by the brand name Lays in GB…!
Walkers was already a popular brand in the UK when Frito-Lay bought it so they kept the name.
I read something about it in Mirror.
As I remember Walker sold it's crisps to an American business company. And Lay's bought this company, because the Walker crisps had a better quality. They kept the name in UK and Ireland, because it was an established brand name, but changed the recipe of Lay's chips or changed the Walker crisps name to Lay's. The reason Lay's is easier to pronounce for immigrants than Walker.
In Finland we had n Word kisses as Well. Now these has been only kisses for A long time
ye egypt vacation is literally to stay in ur hotel
Why for other countries? Hawaii is a US state president Obama (americans still refere to former presidents as president) was from Hawaii and he wonders why after being shipped to LA (additional costs) they´re so much cheaper. Once: mass price reduction compared to buying ONE and since Dole exports around the globe, probably scarcity on the island + tourist tax. Who goes to a tourist place and doesn´t expect getting ripped off 😂 And the german looking guy at the end was a handy man so he propably bought lunch for the guys 😆
Do you have the shopping carts made by WANZL in UK, too? I've seen them all over Europe. They were produced close to my home town.
Reminder: You need a hard drive! 😉
As addition ... which company is behind "Kaufland"?
Dwayne I guess you know the discount brand "Lidl".
As present in the U.K. - and many other countries.
Those "Kaufland" (Buy land)-Supermarkets in Germany are run by exactly the same company / group.
It is the "Schwarz Gruppe (Group)" - named after the guy who founded it (it is his last name) - and this "Schwarz Group" is - by turnover the biggest commercial enterprise for food (and else) in Europe. Even bigger than ALDI.
And any other british, frensh, italian company.Tesco, Asda, Carrefour or else.
"Kaufland" is one of their brands - just having a much wider range of products (like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Marks and Spencers) than you get in your Lidl.
Some numbers:
At Lidl - a normal market offers around 4.300 food and non food products.
A Kaufland supermarket has around 30.000 different products - and is usually between 5 up to 10 times bigger (aka has more space) than the Lidls.
Lidl: The latest are up to 1.700 square meter - older ones about 1.200 ... or less.
Kaufland: 4.000 - to 7.000 sqm - with the "Flagship Kaufland" in Heilbronn/Neckarsulm Germany (Headquaters in walking distance) with 12.000 square meter.
For Germany - that thing is huge!
And the founder - now in his 80ies - is in the top 3 of the wealthiest germans.
Pasteurized milk is more healthy than fresh from the udder, as you have a 1-10% chance to basically kill your stomach :-D Pasteurized also does not mean .1% fat or sth. usually we have 3.5%, 'light' milk with 1.5% and sometimes 3.8%. Why they chose this number? I don't know.
That's my city that store is maybe 10-15 minutes by car away and I never was there xD it's too big... I have discounter stores on the other side of my street why drive there xD
He tells that he can only drink 0,0% fat milk and 2 seconds later he buys a sugared, banana flavoured "Müllermilch" with 1,5% fat? 🤔
It'sw about the banana taste (puke)...
To be fair the original name there is the west and the east german version of it
The east germsn one is a mittle bit more questionable even though but
For the west german if this term was not used as an insult i think thdn it could be something nice like kisses are nice and kisses from strongly melanined people like you sure are also nice
But of couse some people had to use the word, wich originally just stranslated to the color Black, as an racist slur and now were eating chockolet kisses and dickmans 😅
Every German knows: The 'plastic coin' ist way more valuable than the actual Euro!
🦋
IMO Ketchup ruins almost every meal!
Spargel = asparagus
Lays is owned by Pepsi
I'm also surprised about who buys Bravo and other teen magazines nowadays? How do they survive? I mean old people "Fernsehzeitung" fine. But this stuff....?!
Werthers Original...lol...please say it again...but this time you spell it like Germans do, Werthers Echte, you maybe get a clue where they are reale from ;))
Und ich dachte er geht ins Siemens Schuhmarkt. Bin kein Fan von kaufland. Die kleinen discounter sind besser. Und wirklich frisch gibt's bei uns mittwochs und samstags auf dem Wochenmarkt. Dort verkaufen die Bauern aus der Umgebung selbst 😊.
der Schuhmarkt heisst "Siemes" nicht Siemens 😆
@@Blazeor2
_"Siemes"_ obvious since Siemens doesn't really make shoes 😏⚡👟
I don't think it's that bad to name a sweet treat after the kiss of a black man. That's literally what it means. It's not related to the American slur against black people (from the slavery back then)
It's related to the Spanish word for black.
It's literally a black person's kiss, that referes to a sweet and delicious treat
Well, you're best off not drinking any calories but who has the conviction to do that these days? ^^
333!
LIEBE GRÜßE-)
I, a German potato, love the English wine gums. Before the EU, they were available duty-free on the ferry to Denmark, but not, or rarely and then expensively, in the German supermarket. Regarding the milk: I grew up on a farm and basically drank the milk straight from the cow's udder. That's why I never had Corona even though I wasn't vaccinated. ;)
I get English Winegums in the Netherlands 😉
The experience is just identical, cause it's the european way. Only north americans think it belongs only to Germany, but we know it better, isn't it? 😎
don't try any HELA (curry) ketchup in Germany - that brand is awful, imo 🤢🤮 😖
Hi, Dwayne! Oh yes, the prices have raised! 😡
The obsession about Harry & Megan comes from at least 2 things, I guess. First: it reminds people of Princess Diana and second: King Edward VIII, who fell in love with this american woman stepped back and went to America where they got maried. This is fascinating for the people.
It`s true what you said about the milk! 🤓👍
This guy honestly looks like thisbwould be his gsvorit ket hup i think its more sugary thsn hainz i csnt day for sure though and it has a lot of thickeners and starch in it
Ketchups thst dont use this and arent oversweetened are just better in my opinion
Offten the stsrch is modivied stsr h or guarkernel flour wich is actually an e number and nown for slowing down metBolisim 😅 hela is vult ketchup but its not the best ketchup thats for sure
Also even 2 yesrs ago kaufland was not brand new😅 this guy was stuck in the usa for to long
Jeh tipp from me try the curry ketchup from heinz not the hela one its like soaked cardbord with spice
And jeh despite being also bit chubby you look way more heslthy than him guess thsts the us american food harmibg this poor men
Schocko Küsse (Chocolate Kisses) used to be called "N-word" Kisses.
My parents in Hungary still call them N...-Kisses, and they still call Black people that way too, because that's how, in these languages, they were normally called, without any negative thoughts (mostly). Especially Hungary has no historical connections to Black people, so they never used the N-word in a negative way; it simply meant "black" from Latin. Anyhow, we also have a candy called N... Candy, and the logo of that is a chimney sweep because this candy is black and cleans your throat with its mint-anise flavor, just like a sweep cleans chimneys.
Because negro is the spanish and portugese word for black without any negative conotations
So funny :D :D :D this is the Kaufland where i shop as well :D my city. By the way i think i am with 28 Years a grandma :D I have a glass full of little candys :) And the old name of "Schokoküsse" (Chocolate kisses) was "N*ga kisses" (n*igga kisses) I have a black friend and she say it is a compliment for her because these are sweet and if we call it like this we say that her kisses are sweet. :) I think that the new name is better.
Negro was not offensive in the past..the other word was...so please stay with the facts
