00:00Alright guys, Mark Rodriguez here, Johnny Rodriguez, and this is Drew Channels in the
00:07living room.
00:08You can call me Wendy.
00:09Hi guys!
00:10Yep, and today we're going to be doing some taste testing with some of these foreign chips
00:14and things that we bought from the VA Comic Con, just kind of a little follow up.
00:18We didn't really buy too many things.
00:20I bought some classic Batman and Detective comics, but you know, just regular comics.
00:25Drew did buy something a little special here.
00:27Yeah!
00:28And I found something else that I wanted too, but I couldn't buy it.
00:32I'm sorry.
00:33I just had to get the little Alolan Vulpix.
00:36It's just so cute!
00:39Yep.
00:40Just uh, zipping in real quick.
00:43But, um, yeah, similar to the last one that we did at the con, we got more international
00:50sweets here, international like Oreos and chips and stuff.
00:55So we'll do a quick taste testing on what they are like and everything.
00:59Now some are repeats because, yes, there's people fighting on TV.
01:02There's like a repo show on Latino vibes.
01:04But why are we sharing that info?
01:07Because, I mean, it'll explain our reactions.
01:09If someone tells you what the show is, we're going to be like making faces every five minutes.
01:14But anyways, some of the snacks are repeats because I bought some personally.
01:18I bought some, like some to show off for the video and others that I want to just enjoy,
01:24you know, like regularly.
01:26I'll start with mine because I got a smaller haul.
01:29So, no actually, well I can't even tell anymore.
01:32So we've got Gourmet Thai Sweet Chili Flavor.
01:37Slow cooked, exquisitely crafted, crippled chips with, uh, what, what, uh, creativity
01:43and laughter and surprises.
01:45But, uh, we can try that one out first.
01:48Let me just kind of get them all out real quick.
01:51Uh, we've got Lay's Potato Chips.
01:54Uh, Texas Grilled Barbecue Flavor.
01:57We're trying that one out.
01:59And finally, we've got, um, Doritos Smokin' Barbecue Flavor.
02:05And I'll hold it up here so you guys can kind of admire the, uh, unique packaging.
02:10Because I think part of it's the packaging.
02:12I'm pretty sure Doritos and other chips have had, like, barbecue flavors and stuff before.
02:17Flavors aren't, like, too out of this world.
02:21Now this one that I have here, I'm pretty sure I got this the last time.
02:25It's the Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor.
02:28I'm pretty sure we got that last time.
02:32Interesting.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Good to know.
02:35And of course, now we have a couple here that I picked up.
02:40But, um, a certain somebody don't know how to follow good directions.
02:46And I cannot figure out the, uh, what it is.
02:53I just know they're both types of beef, I believe.
02:57And they're both from China.
02:59Yeah, unfortunately, um, we actually asked the guy at the store to tell us what they are.
03:06And I filmed it, or I was supposed to film it, so we could look back and remember in case we forgot.
03:12Yeah.
03:13But unfortunately, since the camera is both, like, you know, picture mode and, uh, and video mode,
03:20I got the picture of the guy pointing to it, but I didn't get, like, the actual photo.
03:24I'm sorry.
03:26Yes, yes.
03:27I can't read Chinese.
03:29You know how I'm with the Chinese.
03:31Ugh.
03:32Okay, so I think those are more of the same, though.
03:34This is another pack of Gourmet Sweet Thai Chili and the Smoked Barbecue.
03:39And you also got yourself, uh...
03:42Peach Green Tea.
03:44Peach Green Tea.
03:46And then Johnny got himself something.
03:48Just show off real quick what you got.
03:50Oh, it's not in here.
03:52Oh, where'd you put them?
03:53Oh, it's still over there.
03:55Oh, go get them and everything real quick.
03:57So everyone got something different.
03:59It says that Johnny, instead of getting chips, he got something a little different there.
04:05I decided to go with cookies because I found these very interesting.
04:09This is the Oreo Strawberry Cream.
04:16And I believe this is...
04:20Korean?
04:21I thought it possibly Korean.
04:24Yes, Korean.
04:25Because it says, uh, thenamebrand.com.akr, so it's Korean.
04:30And the writing.
04:32And the writing, but yes.
04:35I just find this interesting.
04:38Interesting, it's in Korean here, and then it's English, you know, Oreo.
04:42And then we also have this one from China.
04:48This is Peach Oreo.
04:51And it's Peach flavor.
04:55Okay, so we're going to do some taste testing, except we'll leave the repeats alone.
04:59So, what do we start with?
05:01Why don't we...
05:03We'll just go with the order here.
05:05Let's start with that one.
05:07The Texas Chili...
05:09Yeah, Texas Grilled Barbecue flavor.
05:11Want to start with that one?
05:13And we'll give our thoughts real quick.
05:15We're trying to also not make it a 30 minute video, guys.
05:19So, we're all going to taste one?
05:21Can we just taste it and see what we think?
05:23See what we think of it.
05:25So, wait a minute.
05:27It's like the way that I think it is.
05:29Oh, I see.
05:31Mmm.
05:37It sure has that crunch.
05:39Mmm.
05:41It's the Texas Grilled Barbecue flavor.
05:45Wow, I like this one.
05:49I don't know why, but...
05:51It almost tastes like cornflakes chips or something.
05:53Cornflakes chips?
05:55Like a giant Kellogg's cornflake,
05:57instead of regular chips with the flavor.
06:00The texture is like cornflakes.
06:02That's interesting.
06:04But it still has that...
06:06Mmm.
06:08Next, we've got
06:10Smokin' Barbecue flavor.
06:12Mmm.
06:18Smokin' Barbecue flavor Doritos.
06:20Here we go.
06:24And don't worry, guys.
06:26When we don't finish, we'll probably just seal up
06:28Mmm.
06:30Mmm.
06:32Smokin' Barbecue.
06:34This is good.
06:36Strong smell and flavor.
06:38Mmm.
06:40It still tastes like...
06:42The texture is a lot thinner
06:44than a regular Dorito chip.
06:46Or, I guess, a regular
06:48American Dorito chip.
06:50But yeah, the texture is like
06:52a thinner chip.
06:54It's crunchy, but it seems
06:57a little less crunchier than American ones.
06:59In my opinion.
07:01It has like a softer texture to it.
07:03Mmm.
07:05Thai Sweet Chili flavor.
07:11I think this one opens more traditionally.
07:13No.
07:15It all opens in the corner or whatever.
07:17Yeah.
07:19Because it's meant to be...
07:21I think because if there's anything like
07:23how it is with Japanese ones,
07:25Mmm.
07:31Okay.
07:33Now this is the one that really
07:35caught my eye when we were
07:37you know, there. This one.
07:39This one has a more
07:41regular chip type texture.
07:43And um...
07:45I do taste a bit of the Thai
07:47Chili flavor.
07:49You have a little bit of a kick there.
07:51A little bit of a kind of spicy aftertaste there.
07:53Mm-hmm.
07:55Mmm.
07:57Oh, this man.
07:59Mmm.
08:01So far, I don't know.
08:03So far, I like the Doritos
08:05because I like the texture.
08:07Mmm.
08:09You know, sometimes you don't always want to
08:11do something super traditional.
08:13Mexican Chicken Tomato flavor.
08:15Like you said, it might be a repeat from last time.
08:17Oh, I know it's a repeat from last time.
08:19I'm pretty sure I had this last time.
08:22You heard him there, boy.
08:24Open it up the other way.
08:26I'm so used to it like
08:28just the other way around.
08:30Yeah, because like I said, it's meant to be shared.
08:32I love the chips.
08:34Well, I'm sorry.
08:36Other coins, we share our chips.
08:38Unlike here, we don't share our chips.
08:40There you go.
08:42There you go.
08:44We got it through the top, but it's not going to work out right.
08:46Okay.
08:48Oh my goodness.
08:50It's getting busted open on TV.
08:52I don't know if the car was in neutral
08:54or what, but
08:56Mmm.
08:58It's got a lot of flavor.
09:00I mean, I liked this last time.
09:02I'm pretty sure we had this one last time.
09:04Mmm.
09:06It's really flavor and so far it's the most normal
09:08of what we got.
09:10Yeah.
09:12So here we got some that kind of looks like bacon
09:14on the chip.
09:16To me, this just tastes a little powdery.
09:19Mmm.
09:21A little bit on just the salty side.
09:23Yeah.
09:29But again, the chip still seems to be thinner than the other.
09:31I'm going to show this real close guys
09:33so you guys can get a better idea of what it is
09:35because we can't name this, but
09:37I knew it was
09:39some kind of bacon-y beef or something.
09:41So let's try that out.
09:43I don't know what some kind of beef.
09:45Again, it's my bad. Sorry guys.
09:47I was supposed to film it, but
09:49I took a picture instead.
09:55It all can't be perfect.
09:57Just for that, your brother gets to go first.
09:59Go ahead. Go ahead Johnny.
10:01Let Johnny taste first.
10:03Mmm.
10:07He is the food expert.
10:09We go by his word.
10:11Mmm.
10:13So like I said, let's have a good taste here.
10:15I like the waviness there.
10:17That's what kind of also brought my eye to it.
10:19The waviness.
10:21Isn't that an overpowering flavor, right?
10:23It tastes like shredded beef.
10:25Mmm.
10:29It tastes like stewed beef.
10:33Like beef stew.
10:35It's a very...
10:37It tastes very meaty.
10:39You don't expect that kind of flavor
10:41on a potato chip.
10:44I like the ridges and everything.
10:46The flame thrower and the cheek.
10:48Yeah, but that's like the part of the intro.
10:50But yeah, I like the waviness.
10:54I like the thicker
10:56ruffles wave there.
10:58You know?
11:00I definitely like the flavor.
11:02It's very interesting.
11:04It's so flavorful
11:06in a potato chip.
11:08Yeah, it's not overpowering.
11:10It's not too strong.
11:12It's not...
11:16The other mystery chip
11:18but it does have this image
11:20of meat and stuff like in the corner
11:22top corner.
11:26It's all Chinese, Johnny.
11:28It's all Chinese.
11:30Everywhere, like all sides.
11:32Yep, all Chinese.
11:34I mean, the most it says
11:36is country of origin is China
11:38but it's not giving you the name of the chip.
11:41Yeah.
11:43I said there was a little bit of Japanese here.
11:45I can help but
11:47this is also another chip with beef.
11:49A beefy flavored chip.
11:51And here you go.
11:55Johnny gets to go first.
11:57Uh-huh.
11:59Johnny with a recorder.
12:01What are you busy eating to record it, man?
12:03That is also true.
12:07There's another ruffled one
12:09It's not as bad and thick as the other ones were.
12:11Yeah.
12:13It tastes like seaweed.
12:19Yeah, it tastes um...
12:21It's like something else.
12:23Beef, like there's a bit of beef
12:25but there's also a bit of a seaweed flavor.
12:27It also smells seaweed-y.
12:29And the flavor's a little strong
12:31on the seaweed side of it.
12:33Yeah, you're right.
12:35It has that oily taste.
12:37It tastes like wheat as well.
12:41I like it though.
12:43Maybe there's onions in there as well.
12:45I like it though.
12:47It tastes pretty good.
12:49Personally, I prefer the beef one.
12:51Yeah, I like the other beef.
12:53I like the one that tastes like...
12:55That's my favorite.
12:57The thick ruffled ones with the beef flavor.
12:59Okay, now that it's starting to cook
13:01and I'm starting to taste the beef
13:03but it's weird because at first
13:06I didn't taste the beef flavor.
13:08See, I don't even know which one
13:10I would savor out of all these chips, honestly.
13:12I mean, I like something about all of them.
13:14Yeah, my favorite is the one
13:16with the thick ruffled design.
13:18And then Johnny has the two
13:20cookies there.
13:22Okay, so let's go first with
13:26peach one.
13:28I hope these taste good.
13:30They're working.
13:32Oh, okay.
13:34So they're in the individual packaging.
13:36There's another packaging.
13:38No, I'm not much for strawberry flavor stuff.
13:40You guys can try the strawberry one.
13:42Oh, you're going to still eat it.
13:44It's a taste test.
13:46I agree.
13:48It's a taste test.
13:50It's just one cookie.
13:52I could have eaten something
13:54that didn't taste good.
13:57I'm still doing it for the views, guys.
14:03Yeah, for those millions
14:05and billions of views out there.
14:07Okay, I probably don't like this one.
14:09But anyways...
14:17That's the strawberry one?
14:19That's the peach one.
14:21You're still going to eat the strawberry one?
14:23I don't guess.
14:25Smells peachy.
14:27Smells good to me.
14:29Oh gosh, this is overwhelmingly peachy
14:31with the syrup.
14:33I don't know what to say.
14:35I might use the fruity fruit with chocolate soda.
14:41I'm not sure I can detect
14:43the actual peach, but it does taste
14:45different from a regular Oreo.
14:47But you definitely smell it.
14:49You can really smell the peach.
14:51I'm not 100% sold on
14:53the chocolate on top of the peach.
14:55If it was just the peach cream
14:57by itself, then that's pretty good.
14:59I think I'd like to eat it.
15:01It's the chocolate.
15:07Peaches, peaches, peaches.
15:09I can't picture myself...
15:11I mean, I also eat it, but I can't picture myself
15:13saying, hey, this is my favorite cookie in the world
15:15and I can't wait to buy more of this.
15:17Yeah, and that's something I would actually
15:19go out and buy for myself.
15:22Only because
15:24I'm not a chocolate fruit person.
15:28Oh, it kind of...
15:30Unless you can drink it with peach juice,
15:32maybe it's meant to...
15:34No, no, that's just a picture of the cookie.
15:36I know, but I'm just saying.
15:42Okay, we didn't get that one, so we can wrap it up.
15:44Not bad.
15:46But now, since I've eaten a bit more, I'm going to taste more of the peach.
15:48The aftertaste.
15:52I noticed a lot of these...
15:54I love the smell.
15:56A lot of these kind of foreign-type foods,
15:58I'm starting to notice that you don't get the flavor right away,
16:00but it's like the aftertaste.
16:02And I guess with American snacks,
16:04you taste it right off the bat,
16:06right off the first bite that you order.
16:08American did say that they use natural ingredients,
16:10so it doesn't have
16:12all that artificial cuttering.
16:14Okay.
16:16I'll just wrap it up with the strawberry one
16:18because I think that's the last one of all our different ones here.
16:22Okay.
16:26Since I'm actually a fan of strawberry,
16:28anything strawberry,
16:30let's see if this one will satisfy my taste buds.
16:34For me, I've always liked...
16:36I like actual strawberry.
16:38I just never like strawberry-flavored candies
16:40and strawberry-flavored things
16:42because they always have that weird
16:44artificially overly sweet thing.
16:46But you know, I like strawberry shortcake.
16:48Like Japanese-style strawberry shortcake.
16:50No, like a strawberry smoothie, I wouldn't mind.
16:52I said Japanese-style strawberry shortcake.
16:54Yeah, I know. I'm talking about other snacks.
16:56Like a smoothie, I wouldn't mind.
17:00So that would be actual real
17:02ground-up strawberry.
17:04I love the smell.
17:08Wow.
17:10The smells are just so...
17:12Overpowering.
17:14Yeah.
17:17Oh, God.
17:19Yeah, it smells like that
17:21you know, artificial sweet strawberry
17:23thing that I don't like.
17:27You're getting power-bombed on the...
17:29Okay, well, they say they're being power-bombed,
17:31but anyways, yeah, these
17:33Bale Claim Jumper guys,
17:35they don't fuck around.
17:37But anyways...
17:39No, but they're repo people.
17:41Yeah, yeah.
17:43Okay, so...
17:45I'd say I like this better
17:47than the peach one.
17:49You know what this is?
17:51Mmm.
17:53I think I could still snack on this.
17:55On the strawberry one.
17:57This actually tastes like it compliments
17:59the chocolate with the strawberry.
18:01Yeah.
18:03Yeah, peach does still go with strawberry.
18:05I don't like it too much, but
18:07I can tell that the flavor
18:09is stronger right off the bat.
18:11You already can taste the strawberry while the peach one
18:13you can kind of eat it, and you're kind of like
18:15okay, there's the peach flavor, but this is like
18:17right off the bat. And you're right,
18:19because we got chocolate-covered strawberries
18:21and stuff like that, but
18:23no, no, no, no chocolate-covered peaches.
18:25You know, this is what it tastes like, actually.
18:27It tastes like chocolate-covered strawberries.
18:31Alright, guys, so that was our little
18:33taste-testing here.
18:35Lots of different kinds of chips,
18:37and we got some Oreo cookies thanks to Johnny.
18:39Because I don't think we would have gotten any
18:42if Johnny wasn't there.
18:44I have a difference having Johnny with us, you know?
18:46You know what I mean?
18:48I'm more of a savory person, so I saw
18:50all the chips today, so I went straight for the chips.
18:54But you know one thing I do notice
18:56in all of these snacks,
18:58it could also be because
19:00maybe they're
19:02exported, so it might
19:04kind of take a little bit away the original
19:06quality of the product,
19:08but I'm noticing that these products are not
19:10as crunchy
19:12as the American counterpart.
19:14Yeah, it could be.
19:16But it also could be a thing over there,
19:18maybe that's just how it is.
19:20Maybe they don't like it overly crunchy.
19:22Like, they want you to eat the chip,
19:24they want you to actually enjoy the chip
19:26and not bite it and just have it snap apart
19:28all over the place in crumbs or whatever.
19:30Because these ones aren't really
19:32leaving a lot of crumbs.
19:34Not even the cookies, I'm noticing even the cookies
19:36it's more smoother to eat.
19:39It's a nice concept to actually eat.
19:41Maybe with a little individual package thing?
19:43Well, not only that,
19:45but just the concept in general
19:47that the food is not necessarily super
19:49crunchy.
19:51It's more easier to
19:53chew on.
19:57So guys, that wraps up this episode here
19:59of the food tasting.
20:01I don't know if it counts as part of the review
20:03sanctum or food tasting or whatever,
20:05but this is Margarito signing off here.
20:09Johnny Rodriguez
20:11and this is Juby Chan
20:13enjoying some chips.
20:15One last thing I wanted to add,
20:17another thing I'm noticing is that maybe the portion sizes
20:19are a little smaller too.
20:21Well, yeah, that too.
20:23Also, like I said, even in Japan
20:25with bags like these,
20:27y'all open on that little side thing
20:29because it's meant to be open like this
20:31and you set it out that everyone's
20:33supposed to be able to get something from it.
20:35So it's pretty much meant to be shared.
20:37Alright, we'll catch you later guys.
20:39We'll see you next time.
20:41Bye!
