00:00Oh hot, oh hot mama. My mouth is on fire.
00:04They're called ding-dongs? Don't even try me with this. Don't even try me with this.
00:14I am about to do a taste test with food and wine. I am trying Asian and American groceries
00:20to see which is which and also to see which tastes better.
00:27Here we go. Ta-da! I see, okay, these are strawberry ice cream and this looks like Wagyu.
00:35If this is secretly like a piece of steak, I'm gonna be shocked out of my mind.
00:42Ice cream doesn't really have a smell. It just smells cold. No, this is strawberry. This is
00:49strawberry. This might be a meaty ice cream, which I honestly never thought I'd ever encounter,
00:58but you know what? In Japan, they do an amazing Wagyu beef like Negroni. So I'm, I'm open.
01:07This is not a Negroni, but I'm gonna pretend.
01:13I panicked for no reason. It's also strawberry. Okay. So this is actually delightful. It tastes
01:19almost exactly like the strawberry ice cream that you get from the ice cream truck, but has it like
01:24all the little coverings on top. Oh, this is also strawberry, but it's much creamier. Okay. I think
01:34this one is American and I think this one's Asian and I prefer this one because it's a little bit
01:40more
01:41subtle. And this is, it feels like there's like, what is that red 40 dye that we're not supposed to
01:48eat? Like how'd they do all that? But I could be so wrong because I also thought this was a
01:54steak.
02:00Damn. Yeah, I'm wrong. This, I think I did say that this, it felt like this was made with real
02:09fruit,
02:09which allegedly it says made with real fruit. So I got that right. But I was super, super, super wrong.
02:15Couldn't have been more wrong. I was delighted that it didn't taste like steak though. That's for sure.
02:20I feel tricked, but I'm just warming up. So this, I needed to get my failures out of the way.
02:27Bring
02:27on the next fried chicken, be fried chicken, fried chicken. Oh, I'm back, baby. I'm feeling better.
02:39I'm feeling better. I was down, but I'm back. I fear this is going to be difficult, but maybe not.
02:43I already have a gut instinct. My gut instinct here is that this is Asian and this is American.
02:48Chicken. You see how this is like, there's all these little like craggly bits and extra kind of
02:54little cragglies versus this is a, is more s or is more smooth in texture. And I kind of feel
03:01like,
03:01like Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, I feel like they use like panko and they use a little bit of
03:07different flowers. And it always feels like whenever I've had chicken there, that it's always kind of
03:12looked like this and been more smooth. So I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure this is Asian. Oh, hot.
03:19It's a hot mama. My mouth is on fire. So good. It's very umami. It's very savory. It's very like,
03:27I want to say maybe it was brined in a little bit of soy sauce perhaps because it's delightfully salty.
03:33This one feels like more, Oh no, no, no, Lana. Don't second guess yourself. See, okay. I was thinking
03:40I've spent a lot of time in like convenience stores in Korea and in Korea, you can go in and
03:48get the
03:48best fried chicken ever at like a, like a 7-eleven. And for a second, I thought, dang, is that
03:54the
03:54popcorn chicken in 7-eleven? But no, I'm still, this is still Asian. I almost got myself there for a
04:00second.
04:00I'm gonna do a little. Okay. So like this tastes like chicken. This does not taste like chicken.
04:08This tastes like processed chicken. I feel so confident about this. It's like this. I really
04:14feel like I'm eating a seasoned to the bone piece of delightful chicken. And this I'm like, oh yeah,
04:21it's a chicken nugget, whatever. Well, this is American and this is Asian and this tastes 100 times better.
04:30I have a good feel. I'm going right in.
04:35I'm the queen of Asian chickens. Okay. This is delightful guys. Get this. This is so good.
04:42Yeah. This is your lightly breaded chicken breast bites, just as I predicted. It's cute,
04:50but it's not as, this is very, very well seasoned. Yes.
04:57Like my palms are, are sweaty. Like I really, okay, come on. You can do this. Okay, Lana,
05:03you can do this. Three, two, one. Don't even try me with this. Don't even try me with this.
05:09Yes. Barbecue. Kettle, probably.
05:16Maybe not kettle. Well, this is a delightful chip. It's a barbecue chip. I personally believe that the
05:24chips that are folded are a far superior chip to one of these. I think you get more crunch. You
05:33get a
05:33little excitement. You're like, ah, what's in there? Love that. I feel that this is a shrimp chip.
05:40I grew up eating shrimp chips. They're my favorite snack. I have a drawer in my pantry
05:45dedicated to shrimp chips. So this better be a shrimp chip. If I'm wrong, I'm going to,
05:50I'm going to call my therapist and then I'll be back. Which do I like better? I mean,
05:57they're both so good. I think I eat more shrimp chips than I do barbecue chips. So I personally
06:03would go with shrimp. All is right. We can carry on. We are okay. Everything is fine. I was wrong.
06:17I thought this was the kettle brand chip. It's not. I've never actually heard of Zaps before. This is
06:23the New Orleans kettle style spicy Cajun craw taters. I don't know if I'm getting spicy Cajun craw
06:30taters, but there's like a crustacean on it, but this is just so far more shrimpy. He is thrilled,
06:38but buddy, like the end is near. Don't be smiling like that. But this one, he knows. He knows he's
06:45cooked. Look at him. He's a little grumpy. I'm really, really happy and I'm excited for the next,
06:52but I'm not going to become overly confident. Right, Lana? Do not become overly confident.
07:02Oh, okay. Well, I'm sure this, this has got to be milk.
07:09Oh, whoa. That's going to be a gut buster later. I think it's like a really, really thick,
07:14like prebiotic yogurt drink. I think it's vanilla. No hate, but it has that artificial kind of like
07:22super sweetness, but it's fruity. See, now I'm thinking maybe it's also strawberry. Okay.
07:31Whoa. That's a special flavor. Let me give it a whiff.
07:36That's not much better either. I think that maybe this is like a creamy probiotic drink. So I'm like,
07:43are they going to give me like a Euclid or something like that on the Asian side? It's
07:47probably going to be something like that. Like it's a very popular Korean yogurt drink, but
07:51I've had them before and I really don't remember them tasting like that. I think this is American.
07:56I think this is Asian and I prefer this one.
08:10I have had this drink on set onto all the boys I've loved before.
08:15Hey, hello, LJ. What is that?
08:17A Korean yogurt smoothie.
08:19This is a drink that we have in the first movie that my character
08:25likes and my little sister drinks a ton of them. And it was exactly what I kind of thought it
08:32was
08:32going to be, but don't remember it tasting this way. I am so sorry to the Yuclid community. I know
08:38how much this drink means to you guys. I wish so badly that I was one of the cool kids.
08:45Unfortunately,
08:46this was not for Lana, but maybe it was for Lara Jean. There we go.
08:51Now this one is, yeah, is what I thought it was going to be like a probiotic. Now, hold on.
08:56Didn't I say strawberry? I said, oh, it kind of tastes like strawberry. So I got that right.
09:02It supports gut health. We'll see. We'll see in a few hours. Alrighty. Well,
09:09I'm a little disappointed in myself again. I don't know what's true anymore.
09:21It's so crazy. Cause I kind of thought that it would like visually be more obvious.
09:26I don't have a sweet tooth. So this will be a little bit more challenging for me. I've never
09:29gravitated towards dessert. I've always thought to myself, if there's more room in my tummy,
09:34I'm always going to like cap it off with like an entree. All right. I don't have any initial
09:39predictions. I'm going to say it's chocolate. This kind of smells like my white friend's
09:46favorite just like little desserts that they have in their lunch boxes.
09:49But I've also like never really seen this. We're going to go in a different way. Cause we're,
09:54oh, that went like butter. I feel like this is a old dessert. I feel like this is something it's
10:00like a, you can, you know, like Twinkies where they'll survive everything and they'll always stay
10:04the same and they'll be alive longer than all of us. This feels like you're a relative of, of a
10:09Twinkie.
10:13It doesn't really taste like anything. It's very subtle. I guess it tastes like,
10:18it tastes like chocolate cake. Like the aftertaste is like chocolate cake and then inside,
10:22I'm assuming it's some sort of vanilla cream. That was wild. Onwards. I have,
10:28I don't, I really don't know. This doesn't taste like anything either.
10:33Maybe it's just that I don't, I don't have the sweet tooth. This one feels like a little bit
10:39richer. It feels like a little bit more decadent. It's like far more moist and it doesn't have like
10:45an extreme aftertaste. I'm going to say this is Asian and this is American. Cause this is more
10:51flavorful and I feel like my people can handle flavor. I'm not certain at all. Cause I'm like
10:58thinking to myself now, should I just go with my gut instinct here? Cause my gut instinct was like,
11:03I was like, oh, I've seen this in like a plastic wrapper squished, like in a car like this in
11:10the
11:10cup holder, squished. I've never seen this. And it's beautiful. Cause it has all these like delightful
11:15little designs, but it just doesn't taste like anything. And I, and so much of what comes out of
11:20Asia tastes like it's amazing. No, but, but then if I betray my initial gut instinct, who am I?
11:26My gut is all I have. And thanks to that prebiotic drink, it's, it's healthy now. So
11:34This one is American. This is Asian. I like the American one better.
11:43That was really, really tough. That was the hardest for sure for me.
11:47Let's see. I'm really curious.
11:51Hell yeah.
11:55I'm feeling really good that I trusted my instinct. I'm so happy.
12:00And this was the win that I, I felt like I needed. I just, I've seen these.
12:06They're called ding-dongs. What's giving ding-dong?
12:09I was surprised how little flavor both had. This is so fun. This is literally red,
12:14white and blue. It's like America. This is called dream cake. You're called dream cake.
12:19And I feel like I was your nightmare. Asian desserts can lead a little bit more
12:23subtle in flavor. So that would make sense. But I've always been like,
12:27I really love punchy, big flavors. Well, how many rounds did we do?
12:31I got four out of the five right? So I'm happy about that. It was so much harder than I
12:37expected.
12:37I really thought I was going to get it good. Thank you guys so much for watching.
12:41I had so much fun being here. Thank you so much for snacking with me.
12:46Peace out.
