I'm one of the weirdos that loves Thrills gum. Even here in Canada, it's not popular; it's just one of those things that a few people love. So, it sticks around. It's a vintage candy that came back several years ago.
You can't say something that has been around for over 60 years is unpopular. Companies aren't in the habit of trying to sell things that people don't want to buy.
I think its the surprise they cant buy there buy nor can they have it shipped there by law. Look it up its true. Also I have tried to send some to my girlfriends son (Im in the UK) and got into some trouble from customs.
I am in the UK - fortunate to live fairly close to the Cadbury factory in Bournville - so crunchies have been a staple part of my diet for many years!!!! The local school had a before school club called the crunchie club!!! Xx
As a Canadian, thrills gum is a childhood gum that every kid including me chewed! I am totally surprised you didn't get an Oh Henry bar, you can't get them in the US. When we go to Arizona for the winter my hubby buys dozens of them to last him for the 5 months we live there! True story! Fun to watch, thanks for sharing!
Christine, this was SO entertaining! Always love seeing you and Steven together. Steven is right, smarties are so superior to plain M&M’s, and the peanut ones are lovely. Lauren looks exactly like your mom!!! If Lauren does come back for another video like this, I’d love to see your mom with the 3 of you! 🥰
As a Canadian living abroad the only snack I really miss is Hawkin’s Cheezies!! Can’t wait to see what you think. Edit: omg, they’re totally different than Cheetos. They’re way crunchier!!
Speaking up as a fellow Canadian who lives in Ontario, thrills gum is what I think of as a nightmare from my childhood. Nobody here chews that gum willingly. Also the explanation of a crisper is that it’s half chip and half cracker and it comes in a lot of flavours. they are delicious.
When I saw you had Thrills gum, in my head I was like “ DEAR GOD NOOOOOOOOOOO”. Thrills is not a joke gum, people actually eat it. I do not understand those people.
This is hilarious I'm from Canada so this is all very familiar to me and I agree with you on everything. And I'm always amazed at the low food prices you find we just can't get them that low in Canada
There is a special way to eat the Viva Puff cookie...crack the chocolate shell covering the marshmallow, peel each piece off and eat it. Once the marshmallow is completely exposed, eat the marshmallow puff, which will leave you with the cookie base with the little bit of jam. Tada! Perhaps I'm the only Canadian who ate it that way. I agree with the Crunchie bar - FAVOURITE!
Fellow Ontarian here :) Thrills are the WORST!! The smell alone makes me gag lol and sadly not a joke, people actually enjoy it Big Turks are yummy!! Oh and the Hawkins cheezies are better than cheetos. Hawkins are the BEST and crunchiest cheezies out there ;)
Great video. I'm a fairly new subscriber. Saw this older post since I was born and raised in Canada (Alberta). Have been in US (NY state) for 16 years - also a dual citizen like you. All the snacks are good now I'm craving Cheezies - however I disagree with you and your brother and sister - they are NOT the same as Cheetos - they are 100x better! lol!
So you have the best relationships...not just your hubby and kids and with your lovely mum and now your brother and sister...you are a very lucky girl x
The marshmallows covered in chocolate are very much like the tunnucks tea cakes you had in your Scottish box, personally I love them. Im surprised you don't get the variety of flavours with the areo bars. Everywhere else seems to. If you want to try to make your own crunchie bar its melted to almost dark caramel coloured sugar and bicarbonate of soda mixed to give the bubbles, leave it to set, slice it and dip in your favourite tempered chocolate
both Thrills gum and the Turkish Delight in the Big Turk bar are flavored with Rose Water, which is why Thrills "Still tastes like soap". Rose water has been used as both a scent and a flavoring since Egyptian times.
I can picture the Research & Development team sitting around a conference table and someone says, “Hey, let’s make a gum that tastes like the lint in the bottom of Nana’s purse.” That person is now the VP of the Gum Division. On a serious note, my favorite Cadbury bar was the Orange Kit Kat they sold in the UK during the 1990s. Bring it back and bring it to America! Great energy with the siblings! More please!
@@nldube0012 Oh, I’ve never seen that flavor! 😋😋😋 I’ve see white chocolate, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate Kit Kat’s. What area of the country do you live in? I know sometimes companies have test markets. I’m in New Hampshire and we often get overlooked for new products. We are often referred to as Cow Hampshire due to the number of farms throughout the state, but there are no cows in my immediate area. 🐄🐄🐄
As a Canadian, the soap gum is my favorite. It's a minute of joy then it doesn't taste anything. Oh and you are wrong about Smarties! M&Ms are way better!!!! Also, you need ketchup chips! Caramilk is my favorite chocolate of all time!
I loved watching this....and I laughed along with you all. As a Canadian I of course, recognized ALL of those snacks!! I have cousins in New Mexico and they requested MacIntosh Toffee when we were down that way. It was something I didn't see in your video. Do you remember trying that?? (I'm still smiling at this)....
I love this and your siblings are wonderful! I hate to tell you this but Thrills gum is a real thing. There is a whole group of people here that love it! I agree with you ‘why’??? Nasty stuff! Enjoyed the video so much!! 💖
What a fun video! So nice to see you all enjoying being together. Sadly, I have a sister who because she's afraid, would never sit that close to us. Haven't seen her in 13 months.
I need to say that you would probably prefer Whippet better than Mr. Puff, because it's almost the same but without the raspberry part. 😋 It's pretty good
@@Dree_Lavoie i have a package of Whippit here now and it does have a blob of a fruity substance in the ones I bought. They were called Black Forest Whippits. There were two other flavors available though.
FIrst off, Ketchup chips are totally Canadian. Smarties will melt in your hands, make sure you add raisins when making your Butter Tarts. Glad she threw in thrills...and its not a joke its been around forever, coffee crisp chocolate bar (missing). The thing I missed when I lived in US for 3 years was Swiss Chalet. Crunchie bar is just sponge toffee covered in chocolate ....smash it and put it in ice cream is nice.........btw I am from the Capital
I’ve been binging your channel and I’m trying the Asian pork ribs tonight. You and your siblings are hilarious together. Love your zest for life, you’re very inspiring.
Have you ever tried Violets? It's a square purple chalky mint that tastes very much like old lady perfume. I would think that the taste is very similar to that gum.
Omg your brother is hilarious😂. I would love to send you Mexican snacks for you to try!!! Funny video Christine. It would be a fun series. It’s caramel not caramel 😂
I loved this video. You should do more sibling videos. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood. Yes we used to eat Thrills gum as kids and we'd always say "it tastes like soap". I'm not sure why we ate it. I think it was all we could afford.
When Thrills first came out there was a flood of complaints about "that gum that tastes like soap" so they discontinued it only to be met with a tsunami of complaints from people wanting to know what happened to "that gum that tastes like soap". So they brought it back and now the package states that it still tastes like soap. I love it and usually have a couple packs floating around.
Oh my the three of you are hilarious together and the resemblance between you and your sister is incredible. I am thumbs down to raso erry anything as well, except black raspberries. They make great pies or jam. Try to find some! So ayyyy!
As a fellow Ontarioan this is awesome And all dressed crispers are the best flavor no one can change my mind!! I was thinking of viva puff in the last taste video you did with Dave and hailey when you had a marshmallow smore type dessert thing lol I love that you knew the smartie song Yes plain m and m are garbage
Agreed! All dressed crispers are the only ones! Also I hate smarties lol and also think plain m and m’s are awful, gotta be peanut or my very favourite are the caramel ones
You brother and sister are just hysterical! And the trio of you together was just plain fun to watch! Thank you for sharing this!!😁
I think we need more sibling videos in the future. They're adorable.
I'm one of the weirdos that loves Thrills gum. Even here in Canada, it's not popular; it's just one of those things that a few people love. So, it sticks around. It's a vintage candy that came back several years ago.
You're right, it's been around for decades. I can't help but like it.
You can't say something that has been around for over 60 years is unpopular. Companies aren't in the habit of trying to sell things that people don't want to buy.
You're missing the Kinder Surprise and a Coffee Crisp! Maybe I'll have to send you some... Hello from British Columbia!
My son LOVES the kinder eggs.
Coffee crisps sound interesting
I think its the surprise they cant buy there buy nor can they have it shipped there by law. Look it up its true. Also I have tried to send some to my girlfriends son (Im in the UK) and got into some trouble from customs.
Coffee Crisps are my fave! I stick up when visiting Canada to bring back to Australia
@@samstevens7888 yep! That is why I didn't send it!
I was just gonna comment why didnt they send coffee crisp!!!
Lol soap gum comes in different flavours and yes you have to stick with it it gets better as you go along
I am in the UK - fortunate to live fairly close to the Cadbury factory in Bournville - so crunchies have been a staple part of my diet for many years!!!! The local school had a before school club called the crunchie club!!! Xx
This was too funny! As a Canadian 🇨🇦 I totally enjoyed this video!!
Thrills gum.... so good. Reminds me of my childhood - it’s an acquired taste 🙂 it was very cheap - that’s why little kids all got hooked 😂
So true. You have to start this at a young age
As a Canadian, thrills gum is a childhood gum that every kid including me chewed! I am totally surprised you didn't get an Oh Henry bar, you can't get them in the US. When we go to Arizona for the winter my hubby buys dozens of them to last him for the 5 months we live there! True story! Fun to watch, thanks for sharing!
Oh Henry used to be sold here. It was an "old timey" candy bar. We can still get it at specialty stores.
As a Canadian this was the funniest thing I've ever seen. You have made my year lol
Turkish delight comes in lots of flavours in Turkey, but by the most usual flavour is rose. And Thrills gum is apparently rosewater flavoured.
Christine, this was SO entertaining! Always love seeing you and Steven together. Steven is right, smarties are so superior to plain M&M’s, and the peanut ones are lovely. Lauren looks exactly like your mom!!! If Lauren does come back for another video like this, I’d love to see your mom with the 3 of you! 🥰
I was thinking the same thing about Lauren!
As a Canadian living abroad the only snack I really miss is Hawkin’s Cheezies!! Can’t wait to see what you think. Edit: omg, they’re totally different than Cheetos. They’re way crunchier!!
They really are different! Hawkins are special
Yes so different! Lol
Agreed! And cheesier!!
Speaking up as a fellow Canadian who lives in Ontario, thrills gum is what I think of as a nightmare from my childhood. Nobody here chews that gum willingly. Also the explanation of a crisper is that it’s half chip and half cracker and it comes in a lot of flavours. they are delicious.
I'm from Ontario as well and I agree. As soon as I saw the gum I thought Oh No!
Same. Newfoundlander living in Alberta here and nobodyyyy chews that gross gum Lol
Nooooooo. Thrills gum is life! I used to love to get that in my Halloween candy. As an adult, I do buy it regularly.
Thrills is AMAZING! I have two packs in my pantry as we speak
Live in Ontario and I remember getting the thrill gum in my Halloween candy. Never really ate it. The Alldressed crisper are amazing
When I saw you had Thrills gum, in my head I was like “ DEAR GOD NOOOOOOOOOOO”. Thrills is not a joke gum, people actually eat it. I do not understand those people.
There are people who drink Moxie on a regular basis - I consider them to be people without stomachs
I think this could be used as a lazy way to punish a kid instead of washing their mouth out with soap.
I actual said no no soap at the same time as them
Me too! Thrill gum is so wrong... I was yelling "DON'T DO IT!"
My husband loves it. He's not allowed to kiss me if he's been chewing Thrills. 😆
That was fun! I love Steven's channel it's silly and fun just like this video!
The gum reaction priceless LOL
Your sister looks so much like your mum! 😊 X
I noticed that too! So fun.
Love the interaction with your siblings!!
Oh yay! Watching from Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Love seeing you and your siblings together. You can tell you genuinely like each other. Lots of fun watching y'all.
Y'all are so fun to watch! I love the hysterical running commentary😁 please make more of these! 🌻💕
The mint areo bar was the favor at my wedding. Wrapped in a paper sleeve with Thank you and our picture.
Thrills are not a joke. Every kid has had them in Canada. I haven’t had any in years!
I have to say I have never tasted that gum and I don't want to. Bleh.
@@Crackrzz you're really not missing anything
Don’t diss Thrills gum! It is well loved here...I love it so much!
I love these taste test videos.. omg your brother and sister are a hoot. Y'all's personality is so much alike.
This is hilarious I'm from Canada so this is all very familiar to me and I agree with you on everything. And I'm always amazed at the low food prices you find we just can't get them that low in Canada
So true!! I sent Christine some flyers to see the comparison!
Love the family videos! Your sister is completely your mom but younger! Love the dynamic. Thank you for the fun video!
Your brother is absolutely wonderful!!!!!! Lauren and your daughter are like twins .....
I have been watching your videos for 2 years now and how did i not know you had a sister??? Y'all look so much alike! loved this sibling video!
Thrills gum isn’t a joke, I love it and have ever since I was a kid, it’s a strange flavour but crazy lol
I loved it as a kid too but haven't had it in years. It's definitely an acquired taste.
Me too!!
You all are way funny together! LOVE IT!
This was fun and so honest! Thank you for the video. Have a blessed Sunday.
There is a special way to eat the Viva Puff cookie...crack the chocolate shell covering the marshmallow, peel each piece off and eat it.

That’s the only way to eat a Viva Puff, in my opinion!
Mine too!
Fellow Ontarian here :)
Thrills are the WORST!! The smell alone makes me gag lol and sadly not a joke, people actually enjoy it
Big Turks are yummy!!
Oh and the Hawkins cheezies are better than cheetos. Hawkins are the BEST and crunchiest cheezies out there ;)
This might be my all time favorite video of yours....loved the adult sibling/right back to childhood sibling interactions.
U guys r sooo funny! Pls do more videos with ur sister and brother! Happy Sunday everyone!
It was fun to watch you guys together. I’m an only child and always wished I had a sibling especially now that I’m older. Great video!
Great video. I'm a fairly new subscriber. Saw this older post since I was born and raised in Canada (Alberta). Have been in US (NY state) for 16 years - also a dual citizen like you. All the snacks are good now I'm craving Cheezies - however I disagree with you and your brother and sister - they are NOT the same as Cheetos - they are 100x better! lol!
I definitely want to get the subscription snack box for my family! I think this would be fun to do as well!
So you have the best relationships...not just your hubby and kids and with your lovely mum and now your brother and sister...you are a very lucky girl x
We need more content with this trio. Would love to hear all three discuss growing up frugal.
Pour middle sister she can't get a word in lol 🤣😆😂and they keep squishing her 🤣😂😅
I bet y’all were a riot growing up. Loved your taste test today.
Whaaaaaaaat!!! I feel like I should've been consulted first hahahaha!!!! THIS IS WICKED!!!! From your fellow admiring Canadian 😉🇨🇦💕🙃
I LOVED this video! The three of you together are hilarious! 😆😆

I love these! And have never managed to watch so early on! :)
Love, love, love the siblings! The thrills gum must be for when your kid uses a bad word!
Your special guests were awesome. So funny.

"It tastes like a urinal cake?" You guys are too cute together
OMG your faces when you all tried the gum. I almost spit out my drink.
Lauren's face was the best.
I found the All Dressed chips at our Sams Club here in NC the other day. My kids devoured the whole bag.
Oh I love to see how nothing changes in the relationship between siblings 🤣🤣🤣
Loved the chemistry with your siblings
What a fun video! So nice to see you all enjoying being together. Sadly, I have a sister who because she's afraid, would never sit that close to us. Haven't seen her in 13 months.
The gum that taste like soap, we also have that here in the states. I can’t remember the name, but came in a silver and purple box. I LOVE IT ♥️
As a Canadian, I'm looking forward to this 😂
I need to say that you would probably prefer Whippet better than Mr. Puff, because it's almost the same but without the raspberry part. 😋 It's pretty good
Omg the soap gum! It's disgusting and I've never figured out WHY ?! 😂😅

@@meluvs2read Oh, is it a special edition or something like that? And it's cherry flavor, right?
@@Dree_Lavoie i don't think it said special edition on the package. I threw the package away.. I got mine at Red Apple.
I love seeing you guys all together! You guys are a total hoot! Lauren should definitely start her channel again 😃🥰
I always get the canadian national anthem mixed up with the Genovian one from princess diaries because the tune is the same lol
I'm seeing a sibling series...yall are the cutest and I watch yall talk about anything
😂🤣
Your sisters face and the "Why?", made this video for me!
FRUGAL FIT SIBLINGS!!! Yay it's so great to see you guys together! And doing a tasting no less! I miss seeing your sis on the channel!
As a Canadian, Hawkins Cheezies are NOTHING like Cheetos. Not even close. Not in the same universe. Cheezies rule.
Turkish delight is Rose water flavoured

OMG, 1 MINUTE IN AND I'M LOVING YOUR SISTER. SHE'S SO FUN!
Oh man, Crispers are my guilty pleasure, can easily eat a whole bag if Im not careful. All dressed for classic canadian flavour too!
Have you ever tried Violets? It's a square purple chalky mint that tastes very much like old lady perfume. I would think that the taste is very similar to that gum.
The Thrills gum is great! I do enjoy it regularly... and I am NOT 70!
Never had the gum....but as a kid in MI remember purple candies that were violet color and tasted like soap and very fragrant.
Omg your brother is hilarious😂. I would
love to send you Mexican snacks for you to try!!! Funny video Christine. It would be a fun series. It’s caramel not caramel 😂
So cool 😎 hope u send them

As a Canadian, Crispers are amazing! Also, try Jos Louis if you can find them. They are chocolate covered red velvet cakes with cream in the middle!
Thrills are so good!! My dad and I love them,
an acquired taste if you like old lady soap 🤣
Oh my the three of you are hilarious together and the resemblance between you and your sister is incredible. I am thumbs down to raso erry anything as well, except black raspberries. They make great pies or jam. Try to find some! So ayyyy!

Yes plain m and m are garbage
Agreed! All dressed crispers are the only ones!
Also I hate smarties lol and also think plain m and m’s are awful, gotta be peanut or my very favourite are the caramel ones
Great to see Lauren again! Glad she will be moving closer!
I have never laughed so hard at one of your videos but thought was hilarious!!!
The Thrills gum I loved as a teenager & I still love them when I can find them & I’m 68😂
Your siblings are adorable. You and your sister look so much alike. So freaking cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lololol!! The soap gum Sadly is Not a joke. It's available all over Canada.
I’m amazed at how much Hayley looks like Lauren
Lmao very funny. I am Canadian so was funny to watch! The puffs omg I gotta go get some lol
Love your siblings, too funny!!
Wow your daughter expressions really favors your sister!
I am Canadian....Have to say your reactions to our Snacks was the Best so For.
