Americans Try Italian Candy

Guess who's back, back again. Sophie and I are! Last week you may have seen our Italian Makeup Haul. Well this here is part two to the videos we filmed for you guys. This time around we're trying some Italian candy. We really went all out and just grabbed everything that we could find at the supermarket that didn't look familiar. After this there will be one more vlog about our travels in Italy and then that's it! I go home on Friday and start school on Monday.

Note that we kept commenting about how weird their chocolate tasted. I actually read an article today about how Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars are only 11% chocolate and they add a ton of milk, sugar, and other acidic components to make it taste how it does. Americans have gotten so used to the taste of "our" chocolate that they have to do this so it tastes good to us. Fun fact though: Apparently it tastes like vomit to everyone else. Crazy! I love Hershey's Bars!

This has been such a whirlwind of an adventure and I literally would not have been able to survive without Sophie. This video was so fun to film and I hope you all enjoy! My next blog goal is to reach 10,000 page views and my next YouTube goal is to reach 100 subscribers (only 83 away) so please be sure to share! Let us know if you've tried any of these candies before and what your favorite candy is.

  1. I'm a huge fan of Hershey's bars too, so it's funny to think that people from other countries hate them! As far as candy from other countries go, I haven't met chocolate I didn't like!

  2. Haha I love Hershey bars but have my family is from (and still lives in) Europe, so I am used to both kinds of chocolate. There's a big difference though.

  5. I've always loved watching YouTube videos of people trying foreign candy. It's so crazy how people from around the world have such different tastes. Eating and tasting the culture is always one of my favorite parts of traveling.

  11. I always thought everyone loved Hersheys because it's classic chocolate but I guess not! Never would've thought. This sounds like such a fun idea.
