    • @MenTry
      @MenTry  Před 3 lety +7

      A little confusing, but knowing that Hi-Chew is from Japan, I meant that it wouldn't surprise me if they had direct competition in Japan!

    • @HappyMornings

    I think chewy is something that does have “bounce”when it’s being chewed. Just because something takes along time to chew doesn’t mean it’s chewy. A rock for instance would take forever to chew but it is not chewy. 😂

    I remember having those lemon, edible wrapping things as a kid. My GMA used to go to a hairstylist that was Japanese. These candies and others were given to me and it was a trip. And the weirdest part is.. I don't remember being told it was edible.. but I def remember eating it🤦🤣

    Hi chew is actually a Japanese candy says right on the package. Just bought two big bags for my wife. Ahe loves the original flavors like grape, apple, cherry, strawberry, orange, pineapple. You all are great love the reactions

  • @amypliskin3736
    @amypliskin3736 Před 3 lety +4

    The Japanese absolutely love their kit-kats. Over the years they come up with all different flavors. Around now they may have a pumpkin flavored one. Also, if you can try and get eel cookies. Yes I said eel. I'm told that the oil is in the pastry itself. These can be found in Hamamatsu City, where eel is a local delicacy.

    My sister, her husband and son lived in Japan for 5 years. I got care packages from her a lot. I was screaming at you to NOT eat the rice paper packing. I made that mistake. Also, Japanese candy, as well as most European candies and chocolates are usually lower in sugar.
    If you liked the mint stuff, Ramunè has stuff too! It’s super minty chewing gum. I think you can buy it on amazon. Or if you have an Asian market, it should be there too. Also, I know on amazon they have a ton of amazing flavors of Japanese kit-Kat’s. I love the cheesecake KitKats, the smoked tea ones, the pancake ones. I could go on about Japanese foods. I, too, want to go to Japan. Badly. Loved this video.
    Ramune soda is good too. I think you’ve done a video with Ramune soda.

    There's gummi bear chewy (haribo has a tougher bite), then there's mamba/ starburst chewy, soft, but takes effort, and finally now & later chewy. That kind has to be "kneaded" as Cam mentioned. I might have to add mentos in between the last two. Lol

    She didn't to be there, but dad went and we did...
    Couple of things, you know, Japan drove on left side...mom said they all drove crazy...ok, yes, lots of islands...lots of volcanos...and the stability of 300 islands

  • @MitchieDuckie
    @MitchieDuckie Před 3 lety +1

    The reason why chocolate isn't a very hot commodity in Japan is because chocolate is considered a luxury food item, and Japanese people tend to eat healthier anyway. So that's why the cheaper stuff won't taste as good, because they tend to make the pricier stuff taste good.
