    I absolutely love your personality and of course grandma's too. You're both gems!
    Your editing is on point too, makes it so much funnier.
    Have been watching you for years and don't remember if I replied to your video's. I mean I must have, but I don't remember.
    Just found you again after not getting any notifications for a long time and I thought the youtube algorithm was messing with me again, but then I saw you haven't been uploading for a long time.
    I rewatched your "apology" video, which is so beautiful yet heartbreaking.
    Don't feel the need to upload or apologise for not uploading because you owe us nothing. You have given us soo much and I just hope you are doing well.
    Of course I hope to see you again, but if you don't feel like doing it anymore, or are not capable of doing it now, don't feel bad.
    I wish you and grandma raaawr Ok all the best and want to thank you for all the wonderful, wholesome and funny video's you have made for us over the years.
    Love and greetings from The Netherlands! ❤
    p.s. I've never had Kimchi, but apparently they sell it in dutch supermarkets now and because of your video's I now know how to eat it. WIth rice and some nice pork ;)
    So I will buy it very soon!

      @@HallfridurBeck i just thought it was hilarious. but Yumi would have happily eaten it all, but Zoey's face kept falling which made me laugh. I get it though, when I first moved to the northern part of USA years ago, everyone up here at pumpkin flavored things, and there's a pumpkin festival. Now everyone in the USA makes things flavored with Pumpkin, including Starbucks and I think its weird! We ate sweet potato pie where I'm from, not pumpkin.

    I've read that it's possibly a gene that we have, that makes us like licorice.

    I can't stand licorice either. It tastes medicinal. Lovely video as usual!

    Hi! I am from Little Rock, AR in the USA. We are a southern state. I would like to send you something to your P.O. Box from my hometown. How do I find out what it is? Love your channel. Love you and your sweet, sweet, grandma!

    Wow this person didn't go easy on you, to send so much licorice. At most I'll prank my foreigner friends with djungelvrål (extremely salty and bitter licorice that guarantees a disgusted expression) but then I'll drown them in tasty cocolate, snacks, and sweet/sour candies because their tastebuds aren't accustomed to such bitterness/saltiness... XD

      I saw some finished chocolate raspberry licorice in a local store. I couldn't bring myself to buy it because, like Zoey, I hate black licorice

      Well considering what else we have that has licoris, i kinda did try going for the "easy" ones. The pepperopal was probably the "worst" but that one is one of my favorits.
