@@zuzuxzu Come to the US to visit , we'll love to have you. As far as product marketing, the pictures are all styled by food stylists and highly Photoshopped. Americans don't buy Chips Ahoy cookies , Oreo cookies and cream ice cream, Cinnamon Toast Crunch cerea , or any product expecting what we see on the package. We know what's on the package isn't what we're going to get in the package when we open it. We are product loyalists to cetain products
I know it’s not much but I’ve missed your videos! I’ve been a subscriber for about 5 years. I haven’t seen a video of yours posted and I also did a search for you a while back and couldn’t find you, I also went through my subscribed list and you weren’t there. I figured you had quit UA-cam to my surprise. Yesterday I was surfing my video feed, and a video of yours was there.! I am so sorry I missed your move to America , but thankfully, I’m able to watch videos of yours from the past, and I am currently catching up with you. My wife also immigrated from India two years ago, so we would both like to thank you for your videos and also welcome you to America !! You’re a great person and we really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming please !!
I have lived in the states my entire life and most of the things you reviewed are the ones that you see, question and walk away from in the store so it’s nice to see someone sit down and try them!!!
As an American watching this, packaging and advertising makes all the products seem amazing. But we all know almost all will not live up to the hype. I am always amazed the few times I have found something that was actually good. I happen to think Digorno pizzas are one of those.
Yes, it's really unfortunate. Some 4 star Executive Chef makes the demo version for commercials and print advertising and then the rest is made in a cheap commissary cooked by 1 star chefs, or people without culinary experience, or a factory. Take for example Burger King. No one makes it like the commercial. Sauce is way too much and dripping or it has been smashed with a mallet.
Thank you for your sacrifice in trying an array of snacks and foods that a lot of us Americans wouldn't even touch but were always curious about how they tasted! Lol! I'm addicted to your videos by the way! Keep them coming!
Ikr? His counter in every video looks like mine does when my young nieces and nephews try to prepare food for themselves. One of them decides to get a bowl of ice cream or make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and the entire counter becomes a mess lol.

The cinnamon toast crunch cookie dough is basically a snickerdoodle cookie. Walmart is really getting all the unique product items lately. They even have fruity pebbles syrup. Some of these products are just money grabs but the other items are actually pretty cool ideas. The oatmeal and the honey bun ice cream were the few items I haven't seen in the grocery store.

Walmart may be cheaper but your really just buying junk thats going to cause health problems in the future. I haven't come across not even a third of these items and I hope not to.
@@3arthandsky I love Kroger!! I’m severely allergic to a lot of things and Walmart has so much unhealthy stuff that I can’t eat, so hard to find anything I can eat there. While Kroger has a big section of healthy, organic, vegan and gluten free food that I can safely eat. I rarely go to Walmart now
Couldn't you just make your own of those Ritz and Oreo cookies? You can just buy a pack of the Ritz peanut butter crackers and a pack of Oreos, and put them together.
Same!! That Mac and cheese ice cream, I legit thought it was an April Fools Day prank! I’ve never seen it in stores before, probably because I can’t eat dairy but my mouth dropped when I realized it was real
Me too, and I've never even seen or heard of half of these products. I wonder where in the US he moved to where he was able to find these? Most of them aren't at any of my local stores. Not that I would want a lot of them anyway, but some of them I'd try.
@@ville666sora you obviously don't watch his videos, because he moved to Florida for right now and his last video shows where he got all this food from.
I am just loving watching you experience new things here in the US. I would love to see you try some restaurants that are only here in the US, such as Sonny's BBQ or Cracker barrel, oh and lets not forget Crumble Cookies.
57:53 i would personally love a comeback of the 24h challenges now that you're in the US!! Things like: only the weirdest foods you could find, only stuff that is illegal in Europe, only frozen restaurant meals etc ~a nostalgic treat for your og subscribers~
Cookies need to be baked on a cookie sheet. Your pan traps the heat and over bakes the edges. Also, make sure the cookie dough is very cold or even frozen if you want them very soft inside.
I've seen your first shopping trip to the grocery stores and the recipe knock offs. I absolutely love your channel and believe that someone would be mean to you. Subscribed
If you paid 200 on the oreo Ritz I feel bad. They are now 40 bucks on ebay tons of them. Also you can make them yourself for the cost of a oreo and Ritz package. You could of just showed us a clip of the package and then made them for us to try. Don't waste so much money for us. I will watch you no matter what you do for your personality
Omg!! Just recently found you and absolutely love your quick sense of humor of all things!! Love watching your videos now..kinda been addicted the last week or so since I found you!! But I have to be honest..I was completely triggered when you poured the milk before the cereal!! If you pour the cereal first you get as much as you wanted…if you do milk first you get the one bowl..and then another bowl to try and finish most the milk!! I’m sorry..already love watching you after a week and a half but I can’t agree with that one!! Please try it the other way around!! Promise it’s much more enjoyable!! Not sure if you even see comments after posting a video this long!! But I’d love to know if you says this!!🤗
I don’t think the French would have any problem with the croissant pizza. When Iv been to France i’v seen bakeries with croissants made into mini pizzas. So having a full size pizza with a croissant base sounds delicious and the French would probably happily buy it.
@@esra72 Italians already have to deal with Americans calling pasta "noodles". I don't get why it's so confusing to America.. Pasta is Italian. Noodles are Asian. . . And I'm not ashamed to say YES it triggers me 😄
Hi Raphael!! Little hack for baked cookies, when you pack up your cookies, include a single slice of white bread. It will keep your cookies soft and fresh.😊
I look forward to your vids so much!!!! As someone who has lived in the southern part of America their whole life and has never traveled to another country these vids are so insightful and interesting
Here's a little secret about America, everything looks great on the outside but most times there's not much going on inside. That goes for people too not just products 😂😂
unfortunately he has one just doesn't really care to use it, it makes me kinda mad but mostly just confused on why he bought it if he didn't want to use it??
I buy those refrigerated pre made cookies all the time, all different brands (can't believe they don't have this product in the UK) but the baking directions are ALWAYS WRONG, no matter what brand. They always instruct to bake about 3-5 minutes too long! Consistently! It's crazy. Always, always underbake by at least 3 minutes for a very good cookie!
I was so excited when you showed your laptop exporting this video! I swear I can watch your videos over and over again. This one will definitely be one of them. I was questioning the DiGiorno croissant pizza when I saw it at the store but now I gotta try them. It surprisingly looks very good for a frozen pizza. And those Cheetos mac n cheese are a staple in my household. I literally hoard them lol
Okay two things: here in Sicily, Italy we have a savoury dish called “mattonella palermitana” which basically has the condiments of pizza, and sometimes ham, inside sort of a sweet croissant dough. So when you think about it that croissant pizza wasn’t that weird. Second thing, the label “gluten free” is written on things that are “obviously” gluten free because celiacs could get sick even just with contaminations. Meaning that if the factory that made that “naturally” gluten free product also made another product that has gluten in it they cannot guarantee that it’s not contaminated and therefore they cannot say it’s safe for celiacs to consume
Imagine worrying about a thickener called carrageenan in jello when ur literally eating hundreds of chemicals & preservatives most of which u can't pronounce & are banned in Europe 😂
Cereal ABSOLUTELY goes FIRST. I cannot believe you put milk first 😭. I think of it like ice. You put ice in a glass of water first so it doesn’t overflow. Also in general the cereal is what you want more of so you put that first. I put cereal first then as I pour the milk, I can see the level that would get me the perfect amount in each bite.
I do milk first. But I also have issues with soggy textures plus i eat slowly, so I just put lil bit of cereal at a time so it never gets soggy.. 😅 highlights of autism with food aversion
@@heavenkaercher9236 I'm autistic but I like cereal first like it's filling the space. I don't tend to have the cereal get too soggy for me.I do however pour the milk off the spoon with each bite and never have a milk filled bite (but still want the cereal not to be dry though but don't really consume cereal milk). I don't drink it from the bowl either, the idea bothers me.
I have a serious question. Rapha, how were you able to open all of those chip and cereal packages at the top without ripping them and the food going everywhere?? You are truly a magical being.
I really feel like telling you that you should consider a Costco membership. You'll find many interesting and better quality items there. Just know that Costco is bulk item buying. The benefit is their member discounts and rebates. Get the premium membership along with the Costco credit card. The two combined will pay you back for your membership cost many times over in the form of cash back benefits. Also, get your butt over here in Tucson! We have a cute airbnb for you (douceur obviously) when you feel like exploring here. I mentioned this before, but I know you're busy. Love that you are here with us in the US. All the best Rafa.
The cookies got over cooked because it was just 4 and the 16-20 min time frame is for all 12 at once.. If I make less cookies at a time I gotta check them early (around 9-10 min for this kind ) and they’re usually done early.
I'm french and all I can say about the croissant pizza is that it had to be be made at some point. Is it a great thing ? Idk but it was necessary for science.
I just had to stop and say, with that Parkay spreadable butter, in the '90s, it also came in blue and pink. It was gross and had a weird texture. I see it's the same way today! There also used to be green and purple ketchup back then, if you didn't know. It was definitely an interesting time in America.
"I bought this myself and I don't even believe this is real" and "They're not shy about the potato chip. They are proud of the potato chip." are some of the most relatable American sentences this American has ever heard.
Your awesome! I love the long videos. I love seeing things through others perspectives. It’s cool to see someone like you that is very creative came up with things not knowing they were real then coming to America and seeing they are. Btw your version of the lucky charms marshmallows are much better then what they made. I’m excited to see if you do some more of that series and make some new things. I hope you get some inspiration here. Even if you don’t love your videos. Always be you no matter what others say.
Awesome. I eas just wishing for somethig good to watch lol hope you're enjoying North America! I am in Canada and we don't have a lot of the American things either.
I love it how you actually are testing new products and not the ones everybody already knows from the ‘testing american snacks videos back from 2012-ich’ It makes me wanna move to america even moooore 🤤
Newer subscriber here. I've spent the last couple of weeks binging your videos, and I could hardly believe that, yes, you did, in fact, invent instant hot cheeto noodles. I think America is banking off of your ideas, my dude.
My favorite videos are when he uses tiny hands to make tiny foods, when he recreates a Gordon Ramsay recipe using only audio, and of course ANY where he gets different cakes or creations from different star-rated bakeries! Ohh, and he has a *bunch* of Advent Calendar ones that are really fun !!!!!
May I suggest retrying the oatmeal with warmed milk. Haven't have any of those just what I do with my oatmeal and might work a little better due to them being cereal inspired.
There was a bakery near my work that served croissant crust pizzas. I walked there every single day. It took my entire lunch hour just to walk there and back. I didn't care. I ate while I walked back. I would have run if I had to. They were that good. I put on a few pounds that year. Not sure why
Pro baking tip: when you bake anything on dark pans or glass pans, you need to reduce the baking temperature by 25⁰ F. For example, if the instructions say to bake at 350⁰ F for 15 minutes, reduce the baking temperature to 325⁰ F and bake for 15 minutes. Glass/dark surfaces conduct heat differently which is likely why your cookies were a bit over done!
We don't realize how lucky we are when it comes to food items in America until Raphael tells us these normal every day things to us is no where else! 😮
I'm not sure if you can say that's lucky though... I live in Europe, we don't have access to part of this chemical junk and I'm not sorry about it! I imagine telling my kids in the store no you can't have this, no not that. Of course we have lots of unhealthy things as well, but American junk food honors the word JUNK.
I wouldn’t say we’re lucky, I discovered I’m anaphylactics to red dye and never realized how terrible red dye, especially red 40 is for you. It’s banned in most if not all countries besides America and it’s in everything here, it’s a leading cause to cancer which is why it’s banned everywhere else!! Even in medicine!! In things that aren’t red I’ve had many white medicine have red dye, it’s terrible.
Daaamn alot of hate here i see...lucky in that fact we HAVE food and A variety of it! Don't buy that bad shit for you then if you don't like it..there is many healthy foods too...
Your food is the reason why you have the largest obesity problem in the world, more isn't always better. You are lucky to have food but most western countries have plenty of food but chose to actually worry about their citizens health. We have a lot less crap than you and we can afford to get big because our health system is completely free!!!!

I don't tend to have the cereal get too soggy for me.I do however pour the milk off the spoon with each bite and never have a milk filled bite (but still want the cereal not to be dry though but don't really consume cereal milk). I don't drink it from the bowl either, the idea bothers me.
The “no” melting off of the plate was iconic
I looked it up and found the flamin' hot Mac n cheese was first available at Walmart on August 8, 2020.
My brain.....No
I have a serious question. Rapha, how were you able to open all of those chip and cereal packages at the top without ripping them and the food going everywhere?? You are truly a magical being.
Yeah he is.. what a legend. I always fuck up the packaging lol 😂
One of my fav series and a 1h video- much love ❤
I really feel like telling you that you should consider a Costco membership. You'll find many interesting and better quality items there. Just know that Costco is bulk item buying. The benefit is their member discounts and rebates. Get the premium membership along with the Costco credit card. The two combined will pay you back for your membership cost many times over in the form of cash back benefits. Also, get your butt over here in Tucson! We have a cute airbnb for you (douceur obviously) when you feel like exploring here. I mentioned this before, but I know you're busy. Love that you are here with us in the US. All the best Rafa.
I feel like I can make that ritz Oreo myself lol
The cookies got over cooked because it was just 4 and the 16-20 min time frame is for all 12 at once.. If I make less cookies at a time I gotta check them early (around 9-10 min for this kind ) and they’re usually done early.
Hey Raf! Pop a couple of the Hershey’s Choco cookies in the microwave for a few seconds and try it warm 🤤
Hi I'm Erica, And I've Done That SO GOOD!!
lmaooo the drag race "It's chocolate" edit when you were opening the willy wonka creamer was so top notch. Hilarious!
Welcome to America
Where you can put anything on the label and not get any punishment for it lmao
😂🤦🏼♀️😭
Don't worry, dude. Us Americans are with you on this one.
The croissant crust pizza is revolutionary
When Raf forgets the French part is the croissant part 😂😂😂
I just have to say I’m LOVING that you are here now!!
I'm french and all I can say about the croissant pizza is that it had to be be made at some point. Is it a great thing ? Idk but it was necessary for science.
Genuinely hope your enjoying your move to America!
You just saved my day with this video! 😮💨💙 Love you Raph!
you really didn't invent the concept of making Mac and cheese with flaming hot Cheetos lol
I just had to stop and say, with that Parkay spreadable butter, in the '90s, it also came in blue and pink. It was gross and had a weird texture. I see it's the same way today! There also used to be green and purple ketchup back then, if you didn't know. It was definitely an interesting time in America.
You had to remind me didn’t you????🤣🤣🤣
Shrek ketchup!!
I miss the ketchups 🤣
Having a delayed reaction to getting your own French/croissant joke was hilarious lol
OMG I'm so hooked on the Firework Oreos!!! jajaja! Tried them last year and loved them! it's the texture and popping for me! 😋
Same!!!! I’ve been stocking up on them I LOVE THEM
He spills everything
Raphael: there’s no reeses
The cookies: have lots of reeses in it
"America is a real country with real products" 😂😂
"I bought this myself and I don't even believe this is real" and "They're not shy about the potato chip. They are proud of the potato chip." are some of the most relatable American sentences this American has ever heard.
This can probably pay your student loans that’s all I needed to here already in my car 🚗 on my way to the market 💃🏽🍦 😭😂😭😂
Your awesome! I love the long videos. I love seeing things through others perspectives. It’s cool to see someone like you that is very creative came up with things not knowing they were real then coming to America and seeing they are. Btw your version of the lucky charms marshmallows are much better then what they made. I’m excited to see if you do some more of that series and make some new things. I hope you get some inspiration here. Even if you don’t love your videos. Always be you no matter what others say.
i'm glad youtube recommended me this video. The creepy music was hilarious lol
Awesome. I eas just wishing for somethig good to watch lol hope you're enjoying North America! I am in Canada and we don't have a lot of the American things either.
I love it how you actually are testing new products and not the ones everybody already knows from the ‘testing american snacks videos back from 2012-ich’
It makes me wanna move to america even moooore 🤤
For $200 I could make you 1000 of those Ritz Oreos 😭
That black baking dishes intensify the heat and adding in the depth of the sides, that is why those cookies over-cooked.
Newer subscriber here. I've spent the last couple of weeks binging your videos, and I could hardly believe that, yes, you did, in fact, invent instant hot cheeto noodles. I think America is banking off of your ideas, my dude.
He made ramen cheetos made mac and cheese two very different things.
My favorite videos are when he uses tiny hands to make tiny foods, when he recreates a Gordon Ramsay recipe using only audio, and of course ANY where he gets different cakes or creations from different star-rated bakeries! Ohh, and he has a *bunch* of Advent Calendar ones that are really fun !!!!!
I’m so glad you’re having so much fun in the US Rapha🇺🇸 very happy you’re here🥰
May I suggest retrying the oatmeal with warmed milk. Haven't have any of those just what I do with my oatmeal and might work a little better due to them being cereal inspired.
Cold milk on porridge
Omg hahah your reaction to the coco puffs oatmeal has me rolling 🤣 😂 💀
There was a bakery near my work that served croissant crust pizzas. I walked there every single day. It took my entire lunch hour just to walk there and back. I didn't care. I ate while I walked back. I would have run if I had to. They were that good.
I put on a few pounds that year. Not sure why
sitting here watching you go off about flavor while i eat my original frosted mini wheats lmao
In the Philippines, cheese ice cream is completely normal, it makes sense that the mac and cheese one is good
Pro baking tip: when you bake anything on dark pans or glass pans, you need to reduce the baking temperature by 25⁰ F. For example, if the instructions say to bake at 350⁰ F for 15 minutes, reduce the baking temperature to 325⁰ F and bake for 15 minutes. Glass/dark surfaces conduct heat differently which is likely why your cookies were a bit over done!
I accidentally used puff pastry instead of pizza dough (similar packages and product shape) and it was delicious! The pizza croissant made me drool.
Raphael looked so attractive @32:17 that my heart skipped a beat. And then he did the 'shake hack' and I was like- "I'm okay, crush over, done" 🤣
America’s a real country with real products. You heard it hear first. 🤣🤣🤣
Hat's off to his mother, what an amazing young man she raised. I just adore him.
We don't realize how lucky we are when it comes to food items in America until Raphael tells us these normal every day things to us is no where else!
😮
I'm not sure if you can say that's lucky though... I live in Europe, we don't have access to part of this chemical junk and I'm not sorry about it! I imagine telling my kids in the store no you can't have this, no not that. Of course we have lots of unhealthy things as well, but American junk food honors the word JUNK.
Lucky?
I wouldn’t say we’re lucky, I discovered I’m anaphylactics to red dye and never realized how terrible red dye, especially red 40 is for you. It’s banned in most if not all countries besides America and it’s in everything here, it’s a leading cause to cancer which is why it’s banned everywhere else!! Even in medicine!! In things that aren’t red I’ve had many white medicine have red dye, it’s terrible.
Daaamn alot of hate here i see...lucky in that fact we HAVE food and A variety of it! Don't buy that bad shit for you then if you don't like it..there is many healthy foods too...
Your food is the reason why you have the largest obesity problem in the world, more isn't always better. You are lucky to have food but most western countries have plenty of food but chose to actually worry about their citizens health. We have a lot less crap than you and we can afford to get big because our health system is completely free!!!!
I love how he was more disappointed by the zebra cake ice cream than the Mac and cheese ice cream😭😭💀🤣
I believe the "golden ticket" would be if the foil seal on your bottle was gold (and probably has some writing on it saying you won.)
Bro why were the gummies hard 😂😂😂😂
Welcome to America. Packaging makes it seem amazing but it’s always a disappointment 🤣
