0:00Welcome back to new video guys. Today
0:02we're going to be trying food at a
0:03Chinese convenience store in Beijing.
0:07We're going to try to find some of the
0:08weirdest snacks, chips, drinks, and any
0:12other weird item we can find. The first
0:14thing we see when we come in here are
0:15very minimalistic. You see birch sap.
0:19Wait. But it is vacuum [music] sealed,
0:21so it obviously is fine to eat in terms
0:23of variety.
0:24>> Same app that I used to rent this, I can
0:27use to rent the bike. I find sap better
0:28whenever I try it. Okay.
0:29>> You guys be the judge. Look at the
0:31packaging.
0:32>> Obviously the tuna mayo is the go-to.
0:34>> These chips, nothing special. These
0:36chips, I probably wouldn't. So let's go
0:38in and find some stuff. Okay, so the
0:40first thing we see when we come in here
0:42is the hot food section here. And I
0:45don't think I've seen a hot food section
0:47this big. What about you?
0:48>> It's fully loaded. I'm going to be
0:50honest.
0:50>> They got like three different [music]
0:51types of chicken thighs, and then
0:54chicken cutlets, fish cutlets.
0:56>> What's this up here? It's like a taco.
0:58>> This one?
0:58>> Yeah.
0:59>> Dude, what is this one? Dude, you see
1:01that? Like
1:01>> Yeah, I don't even know if I could
1:02translate it cuz it's handwritten.
1:04>> Dude, what? They have a lot of stuff. I
1:05kind of want to try that. Let me
1:06translate that. See what it says. Okay,
1:09shrimp balls and chicken balls with
1:11eggplant.
1:13That does not sound good at all.
1:14>> Dude, let's go further into this store.
1:16This will be the last stuff we buy. They
1:18also have slushies.
1:20And here they have more hot food. This
1:22is like more like Japanese food.
1:25>> Yeah.
1:25>> I guess 7-Eleven is Japanese. Anyway,
1:27let's keep going. What gummies here look
1:30>> just Chinese. I've never seen these.
1:32Like the peeling ones. These honestly
1:33kind of look good.
1:35>> Which gummies should we get? [music]
1:37I've already had these uh sour ones.
1:39They're not that good.
1:40>> These look kind of crazy.
1:42>> Dude, these look good. Like you have to
1:44peel [music] these gummies, and I guess
1:45it's mango flavor or the shape of a
1:47mango.
1:47>> you should get these ones to get your
1:49reaction.
1:50>> Sour? Dude, I love sour. And it's from
1:52the same one. Actually, you know what? I
1:54will get the sour ones cuz I've tried
1:56these sour ones from the same brand, not
1:59sour at all. So, you know what? I'll try
2:01these. I'm pretty sure these are all
2:02Japanese. Oh.
2:05Oh no, this is Korean. Maybe this is
2:07Chinese. Ooh, these grape ones look
2:09[music] really good. Okay, I think we'll
2:10get these grape ones and these sour
2:13ones.
2:143,000. That is the amount of words you
2:17need to understand up to 95%
2:21of spoken English. But if you want to
2:24keep improving after that, I've now
2:26added the next 2,000 most common English
2:29words, so you can build the full 5,000
2:32word set and understand up to 98%
2:36of spoken English. So, now you can start
2:39with the 3,000 word PDF, continue with
2:41the next 2,000 word PDF, or get both
2:45together as the full 5,000 most common
2:48English words PDF that will allow you to
2:51understand up to 98%
2:54of spoken English. And in these new
2:56versions, there are now images as well
3:00to help you learn even faster. Each PDF
3:03includes clear definitions, real
3:05examples, and simple organization to
3:08help you stop studying random words and
3:12focus on the vocabulary that actually
3:15matters. You can get them from the link
3:18in the description or at
3:19vocaenglish.com.
3:21Here we are inside a convenience store
3:24standing in front of a shelf filled with
3:27brightly colored products.
3:30The display is packed from top to bottom
3:33and every row catches the eye. There are
3:35pink, yellow, blue, green, purple, and
3:39red packages all arranged closely
3:43together. The store feels bright, busy,
3:47and full of choices.
3:49Convenience stores are designed to
3:51attract attention quickly, So, many of
3:53the products come in bold, colorful
3:56packaging.
3:57We can see candy, gummy sweets,
4:00chocolate, chewing gum, chips, crackers,
4:04cookies, and small snack packs. Some
4:07packages look playful and fun, while
4:10others look cute or unusual. The colors
4:13help customers notice products
4:15immediately, especially when they are
4:18choosing something quickly. In stores
4:21like this, we can also find bottled
4:23drinks, juice, tea, water, yogurt
4:27drinks, and sometimes small desserts.
4:30Near the snacks, there are often mints,
4:33jelly cups, and flavored sweets with
4:35fruity pictures on the front. Even if we
4:38do not recognize a brand, the display
4:41still feels interesting because
4:43everything looks so vivid and different.
4:46A convenience store is a simple place,
4:49but it can also be surprisingly
4:51exciting. When the shelves are full of
4:53colorful snacks and drinks, even a quick
4:56stop can feel like a small adventure.
5:00>> One thing I like is that these ice
5:01creams are very minimalistic. You see
5:03banana flavor, chocolate, matcha, milk.
5:07Oh my gosh, mangosteen ice cream.
5:10That's crazy. I would try that.
5:12>> Dude, I would try it, too. I'll take it
5:14before we leave. Okay, I'm I'm not going
5:16to lie, this is the best tuna mayo
5:20onigiri I've ever had, and I'm going to
5:22get this one so I can show you guys.
5:25What else do they got here? They have
5:27cake. Ooh, these egg tarts are super
5:29good. Here they have a bunch of
5:30different packaged goods that I don't
5:32even think you need to cook or anything.
5:34You can just open up the package and eat
5:36it. I've never had a chicken thigh
5:38before from a package or anything like
5:40this. Let me know in the comments if you
5:42guys have. I personally have never. I
5:44feel like think get a soy milk. Which
5:46one do you think is good?
5:48>> I think you should get these chicken
5:50hearts. Is it like like chicken
5:51gizzards?
5:52>> Uh, I'm good on that one. This is soy
5:55milk, right?
5:56>> Yeah.
5:56>> I wonder which one is good. This one
5:58they got the guy riz you, so I might get
6:00this one. They got the riz the riz layer
6:02on this. So, let me get this one. I have
6:04been marketed to. Jasmine coconut water,
6:08that looks amazing. This Pepsi bottle
6:10looks very weird. The Pepsi zero sugar.
6:13This Coke bottle looks weird, too. Oh,
6:15yeah. They have a small bottle of Coke,
6:17but I wonder what other flavor they have
6:19here we should try. Dude, look at the
6:21size of this beer. These beers are huge,
6:24man.
6:25>> Oh, no.
6:25>> Like that's for like a family.
6:27>> You have to try this. Birch sap.
6:29>> Birch sap?
6:31Wait.
6:32>> You have to get that.
6:33>> What?
6:34Birch sap? Jasmine birch sap? Wouldn't
6:37that be very bitter?
6:38>> It's No, it's going to be like maple
6:40syrup water. That's basically going to
6:41be it.
6:42>> I'm going to get it cuz I've had sap
6:44before from trees, and it's just very
6:45bitter. But, I'll get that one and we'll
6:47see we'll see how it tastes. Okay, let's
6:49get some chips. Dude, they sell I don't
6:51even know what this is.
6:52>> Lunch and meat. That's uh
6:54>> Spam?
6:55>> Yeah, that's literally spam.
6:56>> What What is this? Macro? They also have
6:58some oyster sauce and chili sauce. Ooh,
7:01this is so convenient. This is so
7:03convenient. Oh, not the peanut butter.
7:05>> This is what I was telling you about Lao
7:06Gan Ma. It's like one of the most famous
7:09toppings. It's chili crisp.
7:10>> most famous. No one comes close to that
7:12one. Okay, I think let's grab a couple
7:14bottles of wine, some vodka, some other
7:18Chinese alcohol, and let's get lit in
7:20the park.
7:22>> I'm good. What about peaches?
7:24>> What the fudge? What is this? Are these
7:28just grapes?
7:29>> It's peach something. Like a peach
7:30candy, probably.
7:31>> Dude, this is like sleep paralysis demon
7:34food. Look at that. Hell, no. Dude, the
7:37fact that they sell eggs like this, I
7:40don't know. To me, it's very odd, but it
7:42is vacuum sealed, so it obviously is
7:44fine to eat. We'll leave that there.
7:46Bro, out of all the stuff you're going
7:47to get a wrap?
7:48>> Yeah, but look at this. Look at this
7:49interior.
7:50>> You sure you don't want to try this?
7:52>> I already ate that.
7:53>> This? This?
7:54>> I wouldn't eat that.
7:55>> This? Uh you don't want to try chicken
7:56feet? You don't want to have these
7:58chicken gizzards or heart or whatever
8:00that is?
8:01>> but you got to warm them up first before
8:02I do.
8:03>> You can warm it up here before we go to
8:05the park.
8:05>> breads?
8:06>> Bro, you don't want to try tiny
8:08crawfish?
8:09>> You don't want to try this.
8:10>> Nah, it looks it looks too mushy for me,
8:12you know? It doesn't look good. Okay, so
8:14right now I'm walking through the
8:17doorway.
8:18And now I'm going to close the door.
8:23If one of your biggest problems with
8:24English is that you understand a lot,
8:27but when it comes time to speak, you
8:29start translating everything in your
8:31head, then let me show you what I've
8:33been doing about this. So, this is an
8:36image. No question, no prompt, nobody
8:40telling me what to talk about. I just
8:42look at it and start describing what I
8:44see out loud.
8:46>> Describe this in English.
8:48>> It looks like a girl just graduated from
8:52university. Her parents are both hugging
8:55her, and she has her parchment paper in
8:57her left hand.
8:59>> Exactly. They all look so happy. Have
9:01you ever been to a graduation ceremony?
9:04>> This is Big Brain, and my favorite
9:06feature is their visual AI tutor. The AI
9:10can actually see the image, so it
9:12responds to what I said, corrects my
9:13grammar and pronunciation, asks me
9:16questions about the picture, and keeps
9:18the conversation going. I really like
9:20the idea behind this because you're
9:22connecting what you see directly to
9:24English instead of seeing a word,
9:26translating it into your first language,
9:28and then trying to remember the English
9:29again. And if you want to learn new
9:31vocabulary, there's also this visual
9:33feed. You scroll through different
9:35words, but every word has its own image
9:38or video and an example sentence. So,
9:40you're learning the word in context
9:42instead of just memorizing a definition.
9:44You can also tap a word, say it out
9:46loud, and Big Bean will analyze your
9:48pronunciation and give you a score out
9:51of 100. So, you can actually practice
9:53saying the vocabulary you're learning
9:55instead of only recognizing it. If you
9:57want to try Big Bean for yourself, use
9:59my link in the description or pinned
10:01comment to check it out. Thank you, Big
10:02Bean, for sponsoring today's video.
10:04Here, you see the chips and also the
10:06chocolate bars. The thing is there's not
10:08many chocolate bars. I always see this
10:11brand everywhere, Dove, Dove. I've never
10:13tried it. We'll see if it's good. I like
10:15white chocolate, so we'll get a Dove
10:17chocolate. Is this one filled with
10:19caramel?
10:20>> No, I think that's just milk chocolate.
10:22Yeah, this is just plain. This one's
10:23filled with
10:24>> Okay, I just got this one to see how
10:26[music] it is. What else?
10:28>> This looks kind of interesting.
10:29>> This one? I've never seen this, so let's
10:31just get one of those. Kinder chocolate,
10:33those are the best. Okay, what else?
10:35What kind of chips [music] should we
10:36get?
10:36>> Oh, this is where it gets interesting.
10:38>> Yeah, we low-key have to try cucumber
10:39flavor. I literally see it all the time
10:42everywhere.
10:43>> bag.
10:43>> Yeah, cuz it probably just tastes like
10:45[music] water.
10:47Ooh, these look good.
10:49I love curry.
10:50>> I've never seen those. You should get
10:51one of those.
10:52>> I've never seen those either, but let's
10:54see if there's a more like authentic
10:55flavor.
10:56>> What about this? It's like a noodle, but
10:58like they have it in chip form. Are
11:00these like bricks here? Or get this one
11:02that's just like a big chili.
11:03>> That one looks too spicy, but this I
11:05like the packaging and it looks
11:07flavorful. So, let's get it. Add that to
11:09the basket. What else are we missing?
11:10[music]
11:11>> Bread.
11:11>> No, we should get a hot food, some hot
11:13foods there.
11:14>> true. But we should get like a legit bev
11:16cuz birch sap and soy milk
11:19>> Like what What do you mean?
11:20>> Something carbonated, maybe a tea cuz
11:22you can't be in China and not have tea,
11:25right?
11:26>> I got water.
11:27>> Oh.
11:27>> Right here.
11:28>> What about the meat sticks?
11:29>> So, So is just a bunch of packaged dry
11:31[music] meats. I don't know, I think I'm
11:33good on bev. Those two bevs kind of good
11:35for me.
11:36>> You're going to drink that?
11:37>> Well, that's the point of it is to try
11:39it. Ooh.
11:40>> Is that just like a bunch of eggs?
11:42>> Yeah, soy sauce eggs.
11:43>> I know these are super popular, all
11:45these like uh chewy foods.
11:47>> Dude, these are just like literal
11:48skewers.
11:49>> Oh, this is that famous snack that you
11:51always see in those [music] videos, like
11:53the gluten fried sticks with spicy
11:55sticks.
11:57>> Should we get some?
11:58>> Yeah, they're just spicy gluten.
12:01>> Okay, let's get some hot food. And here
12:03they have even like a buffet. This is
12:05one of the nicest 7-Elevens I've been to
12:08in terms of variety. What should we get
12:10here now? Okay, so
12:12I got this chicken cutlet to compare to
12:15Japan's.
12:16>> I got this
12:16>> did you get?
12:17>> On the very end.
12:18>> saucy one. But they have so much to
12:20choose from, dude. You could have lunch
12:21here [music] every day for like a week
12:23and still not try everything. These are
12:24all the choices if you guys want to
12:26screenshot.
12:30I think we're going to skip the coffee
12:31and all this stuff and this slushy.
12:35>> Oh.
12:36>> Bro.
12:38Forgot one.
12:38>> Yeah, small chocolate.
12:41I don't even need to bring my wallet
12:42anywhere. I just bring my phone and when
12:44my phone is dying, I could rent a power
12:46bank for like 10 cents. Like not even 10
12:48cents. It's like 5 cents
12:51a minute or something. I don't know,
12:52until it's charged and it charges really
12:54fast. Like just in that time we went in
12:56there, it's charged from less than 50%
12:58to almost 80%. Anyway, we got all the
13:00goods here. Now let's go to the park and
13:02try everything. But let's rent some
13:04bikes. So now I'm going to take my bag
13:06of food and put it in the basket here
13:09and then I'm going to open up the same
13:11app, Alipay, scan and rent this bike. So
13:14the same app that I used to rent this, I
13:16can use to rent the bike and I can pay
13:18for everything everywhere. And now it's
13:19unlocked. So we're going to get on the
13:21bike, cycle to
13:23park, right?
13:24>> Yep.
13:25>> We're going to cycle to a park and then
13:26try all the snacks. Hopefully not sweat
13:28to death. We forgot the ice cream. We'll
13:30do that in another video or I'll make a
13:33short form video out of it, but let's
13:34head over there and let's go try the
13:36food before it gets cold. Although it's
13:38hot as heck today, so I don't think it's
13:40going to be getting cold. Let's bounce
13:41though. Got to put on the glasses so I'm
13:43legal. I'm blind.
13:51Okay, you guys. So we found a spot here
13:53in a park. So now my brother and I are
13:56sitting in a park here. These are
13:57snacks. The chips, these things, spicy
14:00sticks, spicy sticks, cucumber chips,
14:03>> Damn.
14:04>> gummies,
14:05onigiri.
14:07We got two onigiri, one pork knuckle and
14:09one tuna mayo.
14:10This is the best tuna mayo onigiri I've
14:13ever had.
14:14We also got super sour food. We got two
14:17chocolates. One is a white chocolate
14:19bar, the other one is this small cube.
14:21We have jasmine birch sap.
14:24>> [clears throat]
14:24>> Jasmine birch sap.
14:26>> We went craziest on the bevs.
14:27>> And then we have two hot foods.
14:31>> Brutal.
14:32>> So that's that's what we got. I feel
14:34like what should we eat first? Are you
14:36thirsty?
14:36>> I'm thirsty. You can tell.
14:38>> So we're thirsty.
14:39>> Kind of had a detour there, so
14:40>> We went one way cuz we thought there was
14:42a park. No park. We were riding for 20
14:44minutes on the bicycles, but
14:45>> Yeah. Should I try first if you want to?
14:47Oh, maybe you shake it up a little bit
14:49like spin it upside down. Get it nice
14:51and I don't even see anything in there.
14:53>> Yeah. Anyway, let's try.
14:55>> I'm guessing it's going to taste like
14:57like raw maple syrup that comes straight
14:59out of the tree. It's like slightly
15:01sweet sugar water.
15:02>> Okay, why Okay, you tell me when you try
15:05it. First you try it.
15:06>> Well, that's my prediction. That's what
15:08I think it's going to taste like.
15:09>> First try it and then I'll tell you what
15:11I think it tastes like.
15:13>> Yeah, so super slightly sweet and then
15:16just jasmine tea. So that's basically
15:18what this is.
15:18>> I'mma be honest, to me this tastes like
15:21if you put a bottle of this size with
15:23like a shot or less of soju,
15:25non-flavored soju. You put a little bit
15:27of soju and you mix it with a bunch of
15:28water. This is what that is.
15:29>> That's what that tastes like?
15:30>> Doesn't it? Like think about it. Try it
15:32again.
15:32>> tastes like jasmine tea with like a tiny
15:34bit of sweetness.
15:35>> Try it again and think about it. It
15:36tastes like the most watered-down soju
15:39ever, like the fresh one.
15:41>> Not to me.
15:41>> it? Can you kind of like
15:42>> Like a maybe a tiny bit, but
15:45>> I'm right.
15:45>> To me it tastes like just a tiny bit of
15:47jasmine tea with sugar water. That's
15:49basically what it is cuz sap is normally
15:52just sweet water, right? Like it's the
15:54it's the water that the tree sucks up
15:56and brings up its trunk.
15:58>> I don't know. I find sap better whenever
16:00I try it. Okay, that was kind of mid.
16:02I'm still thirsty.
16:03>> a little refreshing though.
16:04>> So let's try let's try this. I hope this
16:06is good.
16:07>> Shake it up.
16:08>> It's very white, like it's very white
16:10and clear. It's kind of giving like
16:12bleach.
16:17It's like flavorless milk.
16:21It's soy milk, right? Yeah.
16:23>> That tastes just like milk.
16:24>> It's like It's like milk but without the
16:25milk flavor.
16:26>> it is regular milk. I think you should
16:28translate it.
16:29I don't speak
16:29>> I've never been a
16:30>> Chinese, what does this say?
16:31>> I've never been a fan of soy milk.
16:33>> It's not not anything crazy. Cucumber
16:35chips.
16:36>> Actually I think we should try the hot
16:38stuff first.
16:38>> Oh hell no. All my stomach is not
16:41>> Before it gets cold.
16:42>> not eaten anything all day and this
16:44guy's over here. We should try the
16:46hot stuff. We're going light.
16:49Cucumber.
16:50Let's try this at the same time.
16:52>> Okay, I'm going to predict what it's
16:53going to taste like. I think it's just
16:55going to be a sweet regular Lay's chip.
16:57There's not going to be like any
16:59cucumber flavor.
17:00>> Based on smell, I'm going to say it kind
17:02of tastes a little fishy, like seaweed.
17:07>> A sweet chip. It it kind of tastes like
17:09a not sweet plantain chip, you know?
17:11Like a plantain chip but not
17:13>> Like toothpaste.
17:14>> Yeah, a green plantain chip.
17:15>> It's just like sweet and kind of like
17:17slightly like a seaweed flavor.
17:19>> It does smell like cucumber, though.
17:21>> We're not going to get to this one yet.
17:22>> I think you should try the hot food.
17:24>> Bro, you try the hot food and you let me
17:25know how that goes.
17:26>> it right now.
17:27>> Okay. Purple gummies. They look very
17:29good. The package says 4D, but under it
17:32says 3D delicious.
17:34>> Wow.
17:37>> Okay, wow.
17:38>> Oh, wow.
17:39>> So, I'm going to predict what these are
17:40going to taste
17:41>> You don't need to predict everyone.
17:42>> I will because there's like a It looks
17:44like there's something in the middle
17:45there. Maybe like a jelly filling or
17:47something.
17:47>> extremely chewy. No filling.
17:50>> There's filling in it.
17:51>> No. It's so chewy. There's no filling.
17:54>> 4D or is it 4D delicious?
17:59>> Okay, there is filling, but you don't
18:01even notice it.
18:01>> That's something you wouldn't eat.
18:03I'm not much of a gummy gummy guy.
18:05>> Very chewy.
18:06I think we should try the sour one.
18:07>> Yeah. Those look good.
18:09>> Oh, I hope they're sour. I love sour uh
18:12sour foods. Ooh, my gosh.
18:15I'll give you two.
18:16>> Damn. They smell like grape. I like that
18:19smell.
18:19>> Let's try them. Bon appetit.
18:26>> Holy, they're chewy.
18:27>> Very, very chewy. It's like chewing
18:29rubber.
18:30>> This is less sour than like a sour gummy
18:32worm.
18:32>> They are not sour.
18:34This packaging is a lie. These things
18:36are not sour at all, but they are pretty
18:38good.
18:39>> Yeah, they're good. I always like
18:41sugar-coated gummies more than like
18:42regular plain gummies.
18:45They are really good, though.
18:46>> They're not sour like the slightest bit,
18:48but not really.
18:49>> Spicy chips, the first spicy thing.
18:51>> Oh.
18:53Ooh. I think we should try the hot food
18:54first.
18:56>> It's like a paper package.
18:57>> That's actually a really nice bag.
18:59>> Well, I like this bag a lot. I do like
19:01this bag.
19:02>> Reminds me of like artisanal chips or
19:03something.
19:04>> You guys be the judge. Does the
19:05packaging look like the product?
19:09>> Yeah, pretty similar.
19:09>> No, not at all, bro. You blind?
19:12>> Well, maybe it Oh, wow.
19:14>> I thought that was going to be really
19:15fluffy. It's so crunchy. It's so so
19:17crunchy.
19:18>> Ooh, some nice chili flavor.
19:20>> It kind of was looking like it was going
19:21to be puffy and like, you know, puffy,
19:23but it's very very crunchy.
19:27>> It's a rice chip.
19:28>> It's very crunchy. These are like
19:29probably the crunchiest chips I've ever
19:31had. These are crunchier than Miss
19:33Vickie's.
19:34>> Ooh, a little spicy though.
19:36>> A little bit. 1 to 10 spice, probably
19:38like a 0.5.
19:40>> Yeah.
19:41>> Barely any. Soy milk, you want water or
19:43milk?
19:44>> Water. That's the birch sap.
19:46>> Oh, wait, we're smart as hell. We got
19:47the milk for the spicy food. Let's keep
19:49that.
19:49>> There you go, birch sap.
19:50>> low-key good. Why is this the best drink
19:52they have?
19:53>> Chocolate, then onigiri, then the hot
19:56food.
19:56>> Oh, the hot Oh my god, dude. You meant
19:59like the food that's warm.
20:00>> Yeah.
20:01>> Actually, I think we should try the hot
20:02stuff first. I think we should try the
20:03hot food.
20:03>> I think we should try the hot food
20:05first.
20:05>> What in the hell, bro?
20:07>> You thought I was saying spicy food.
20:08>> was saying hot food as in spicy food. He
20:11was saying hot food as in
20:12>> trying to piece together why you said,
20:14"Oh, I don't want to eat that cuz I
20:15haven't eaten anything yet."
20:16>> He was saying hot food as in the hot
20:17food behind me.
20:18>> Wouldn't that be this best to eat first?
20:20>> Oh,
20:21>> Oh, it's still pretty hot though.
20:23>> No, it's really warm still.
20:25Hot food. I was like, "Why do you want
20:27to eat spicy food?" Okay.
20:29This is just a regular uh chicken
20:31cutlet.
20:33>> Dude, this is the sauce pro max. Look at
20:35this thing.
20:38>> Damn.
20:40>> What was this called? Something fried
20:42chicken?
20:42>> Yeah, something fried chicken.
20:44>> Fried teriyaki.
20:46>> Let me get some sauce.
20:47>> Oh my gosh.
20:50That's really good.
20:51>> This thing is not crispy at all.
20:53>> But the sauce is pretty good. Let me try
20:54it.
20:59>> Not a fan.
21:00>> Yeah, this one's
21:01>> Not a fan of that one.
21:02>> That's all yours, big dog.
21:03>> The one my brother had?
21:05Not a fan because I feel like it's a lot
21:07of dough.
21:07>> I think you just ate bread and
21:09>> Yeah, maybe.
21:14>> Save that one for later. What do you
21:15want to try?
21:16>> Spicy sticks. Oh, hell. Actually, the
21:18onigiri.
21:19>> Oh, you didn't get the pork knuckle. You
21:20got whatever this one was.
21:22>> It's ribs.
21:23>> Ribs. I thought you got pork knuckle. I
21:25was wrong.
21:26>> No, I don't think fatty meat should go
21:27into the onigiris.
21:29>> This is tuna mayo. This is the best
21:31onigiri I've ever had. Let me try it
21:33again.

22:15>> Oh, wow. Okay, let's try this one. Oh,
22:18wait, they didn't warm it up, did they?
22:20>> No.
22:23>> Obviously, the tuna mayo is the go-to,
22:25but I wanted to try something different.
22:27Barbecue ribs.
22:34>> Okay.
22:35>> Let me get a bite of that one.
22:36>> Get the hell out of here.
22:37>> This would be better with mayonnaise.
22:38[clears throat]
22:39It's got a lot of garlic flavor, too. I
22:40don't know if I like that. Oh. Oh,
22:43really garlicky.
22:44>> Really?
22:44>> Yeah.
22:45>> You want a bite of this?
22:46>> No, you should have gone for the pork
22:47knuckle.
22:48>> No, that one would have been worse.
22:49>> How do you know?
22:50>> I can tell.
22:51>> Mhm.
22:51>> I don't think I can eat this.
22:53>> Really?
22:54That bad?
22:55>> So garlicky. Just try it.
22:59>> You didn't tell me.
23:00>> I did.
23:01>> You didn't I've been eating it.
23:05>> Well, garlic is good.
23:06>> It's not that bad. Maybe I just had a
23:08big piece of garlic. Here, try this
23:09piece.
23:09>> Oh.
23:10>> He's trying to get me. He's not going to
23:12get me.
23:12>> Just try a piece.
23:13>> All yours, big dog.
23:14>> It's like freaking garlic has been
23:16sitting out on a counter for a long
23:18time, and you just get that taste.
23:19>> Correction, you just get that taste.
23:22>> I can't eat this.
23:23>> Chocolate. Dude, this looks good.
23:25>> Need to wash it down with the birch sap.
23:27>> White chocolate. Dove. I see this brand
23:29all over China. Is this Chinese?
23:31>> Oh, it's like Dove soap.
23:32>> Ooh. Is that rice inside?
23:34>> I didn't get any texture.
23:36>> Maybe that was the sugar I was chewing.
23:37Really good.
23:41Next chocolate, milk. So, I just open
23:44the package. It's like a rocket ship.
23:50Oh, wow. The inside is like white
23:52chocolate.
23:52>> Is it?
23:53>> Look at that.
23:54>> Mosquito.
23:58It kind of reminds me of Kinder.
24:00>> Kinder chocolate.
24:00>> Mhm.
24:01>> Pretty good, eh?
24:01>> That is pretty good.
24:03>> Slightly bitter.
24:03>> But for three yuan, I think that's a
24:05little expensive. You can get that
24:06full-size Snickers for six.
24:08>> Was it three?
24:09>> Yeah.
24:09>> Oh, it must be a higher quality
24:11chocolate, then. What's the last thing?
24:13>> Spicy stuff.
24:14>> this is the last thing.
24:15>> Yeah, I've seen this in like so many
24:17TikToks.
24:18>> I've never seen this.
24:19I don't know how I feel about this.
24:21>> Pretty sure it's just like spicy coated
24:24gluten fried sticks.
24:26>> Like a rice cake thing?
24:27>> Like pure gluten.
24:29>> Is it chewy?
24:29>> Probably. Let me take a bite.
24:36>> I'll take a stick.
24:40Oh, yeah. Ooh.
24:41>> That's spicy. Okay, that's the spiciest
24:43thing we've had.
24:44>> In the videos, they always make it look
24:45spicy. They go
24:47>> It's not that spicy, but it's like a
24:49I'll say three out of 10. Probably a
24:50three out of 10 spice.
24:52>> Wow.
24:53>> The noodles we had the other day,
24:55six, seven
24:56out of 10.
24:58>> Yeah, those are way spicier. Those
24:59noodles were very very spicy. Okay, out
25:02of everything here, everything we've
25:04tried, what is your favorite thing? Are
25:07you talking to me?
25:09Probably these spicy sticks. Bro, stop
25:11the cap. Who you trying to LARP for?
25:16Nah, probably these spicy sticks. You
25:18got to ask. Yeah, they got a really good
25:20flavor. They're They're not just spicy.
25:22They're like chewy, fragrant, but
25:24compared to everything else, like I
25:26could say white chocolate, but I don't
25:27really like white chocolate that much.
25:29I'd rather have milk chocolate instead
25:30of pure white chocolate. I guess I'd say
25:32my favorite salty thing was these salty
25:34snack, these spicy sticks, and my
25:36favorite sweet thing was the small piece
25:38of chocolate with the white chocolate
25:41inside. My turn. My favorite
25:44I don't know. I just like white
25:45chocolate. I don't even like it. I love
25:47it, but I feel like it's That was just
25:49the same white chocolate as anywhere
25:50else in the world. These chips, nothing
25:52special. These chips, I probably
25:53wouldn't get again. Nothing special.
25:55These gummies made and chewy. Spicy
25:57sticks, not really my thing. I I
25:58>> [clears throat]
25:58>> it's kind of weird. Like not not my
26:00thing.
26:01The soy milk, not a crazy flavor. So, I
26:03would have to give it to the sour
26:04gummies. They're not like that sour.
26:07Onigiri is too basic. It's not like
26:08something Chinese, but that's the best
26:10onigiri I've ever had. But, it's too
26:11basic. I'd have to give it to this.
26:13They're both nice and sour. They're not
26:14crazy sour, but the flavor is very nice.
26:16It has a very nice grape flavor, and you
26:18can see they're like these long sticks,
26:20this rectangular shape, and they are
26:22coated with like sugar and also like I
26:24guess the stuff that makes it sour.
26:26That's all the food we had today to show
26:28you guys. This was the studio. Camera on
26:30there. Backpack as a table. And these
26:33were the snacks. Chips, milk, chocolate,
26:36gummies, hot foods. Leon drank that
26:38whole drink and those. Chinese LARPer
26:41right here. I love Chinese food. Chinese
26:43LARPer. And this is the park we were
26:44filming in. And there were just like
26:46people going about their day. And if it
26:48was loud, you can blame those
26:49construction guys. My bad. We couldn't
26:51find another park.
26:53We have now finished trying all the
26:55snacks we bought from a Chinese
26:57convenience store. Some were familiar,
27:00while others had flavors and textures
27:02that surprised us. Trying local snacks
27:05is an enjoyable way to learn about a
27:07country because even an ordinary bag of
27:10chips or candy can taste completely
27:13different from what we are used to. When
27:15describing snacks, we can talk about
27:18flavor and texture.
27:20A snack might taste sweet, salty, sour,
27:23spicy, savory, or slightly bitter. Its
27:28flavor may be mild at first and then
27:30become stronger, or it may leave an
27:33unusual aftertaste. Some snacks combine
27:37several flavors, such as sweet and sour,
27:39or salty and spicy. Texture describes
27:43how food feels when we bite and chew it.
27:46Chips may be thin, light, crispy, and
27:50crunchy. Candy may be soft, sticky,
27:54chewy, or firm. Crackers may feel dry
27:58and crumbly, while a drink can be
28:00smooth, creamy, or refreshing. Not every
28:04snack became a favorite, but that was
28:07part of the fun. Some were delicious,
28:11some were unusual, and a few were
28:14difficult to describe. By the end, we
28:16felt full, entertained, and glad that we
28:20had tried something new.
