Oh my goodness was this ever a great box! Have you ever been to New Zealand or tried any of these treats before? Tell us all about it, we have never been but it is on our bucket list!

I have never been there. I do have family there and they always bring whittakers chocolate when they come to visit. It's like British chocolate used to be.
Hi from a Kiwi!! In regards to the Pineapple lumps, there has been limited edition flavors that have been bought out. Currently feijoa lumps which are so good. Feijoa is a fruit that I'm pretty sure is unique to NZ. You can eat it cut in half and scooped out with a teaspoon, you can make muffins or loaf with them ( the loaf is so so good) it is an acquired taste for some who has never had it before. I love love love Whittakers creamy milk chocolate ( they make the Peanut slab). It is 10 times better than Cadbury chocolate and (sorry to say) leagues above American chocolate but that's just my opinion lol.
@@rebeccarigg3002 Feijoe icecream from Rush Munroe icecream parlour Hastings is the best homemade icecream ever and is dam expensive to buy all of their flavours are awesome.
At the University I used to work at in Auckland, New Zealand, actual bribery with money was a big no no. BUT.. the currency of getting favours done between departments was chocolate fish, a big favour might stretch to 3 chocolate fish. We had an unofficial box of them in the dept for such purposes.
At Canterbury University back in the day, chocolate fish were the official currency of official student social club/assassination cabal KAOS (Killing As Organised Sport.) Any club officers, from the Dictator right down through the Politburo, could be bribed for specific favours. (The amount of fish per favour was spelled out in the rule book.) In wider society, chocolate fish were about the cheapest individually wrapped treats available, so became the go to "thank you" for small favours. "Give that person a Chocolate Fish" was a widespread saying, indicating a person was deserving of praise and recognition.
Thanks for posting, it was fun to watch you try our snacks. A couple of things if I may...chicken chips are best eaten in a sandwich with soft, thick white bread, real butter and as many chips as you can fit between the two slices. Whittikars is hands down the BEST chocolate in the world ;) and although people on the internet will tell you us kiwis usually put pineapple lumps in the freezer and eat them frozen, I've never done this and I've never met anybody in real life who's done it!!! (although to be fair, 'do you freeze your pineapple lumps' is not a question I ask many people).
It means hello welcome its Maori the indigenous language of New Zealand.and if you put the pineapple lumps in the freezer they are better and last forever.
Hi Andrew! Thank you soooo much for that tip! We took your advice on the lumps! And thank you for explaining the greeting, we love to learn about other countries and cultures. This was such a fun box for us, can't wait to try more!
you guys need some reduced cream onion dip, to go with the chips... THe chocolates were all pretty good, I think you need to try whittakers dark chocolate, you tried the peanut slab but thats only 33%... Also some sanitirum marmite with cheese would go down well.
store the pineapple lumps in a air tight container, they last for days. We buy a mix of bags and fill the container allowing for homework treats, smaller than a full chocolate bar as bribes lol
Kia ora is a Maori greeting that has become a standard part of speech in New Zealand. ETA is pronounced ''eat-a''. Whittaker's chocolate is the best and you can get other flavours.
Yes New Zealand do come out with Limited Edition lumps we have had in the past Perky Nana's, Peach Lumps , L&P Lumps ( L&P is a Soda) but currently we have Feijoa Lumps.
Moro bars are basically the NZ version of a Mars Bar - NZ had very high import taxes until the mid-1980s, so we really had very few US snack products before then, whereas Cadbury and Nestle had production plants in NZ. Cadbury in NZ is all Australian imports now (which have different recipes to the previous NZ-made products, so they're no longer as popular). Another former NZ-owned snack brand is Pascall's, is now also Australian owned (I can't remember the original NZ brand) and is another company which also changed some recipes - I think Pascall's Pineapple Lumps now are revolting, but they did used to actually taste good. The ripple style chips like the ETA chicken chips are called "chippies" in NZ English ; "crisps" - are the US Lays' style; while "chips" are US' "french fries". We do use the term "French Fries" or "Fries" but only when talking about the US style food.
The original Pineapple lumps were made in my home town Oamaru, South Island, NZ The company was called Regina Confectionaries, has had a change of name and now is Rainbow Confectionaries. The ones you tried are made by Pascall, I prefer Rainbow (Regina) ones which are made with real pineapple juice. Kia Ora is a greeting in the Maori language.
Kia Ora from Tauranga NZ. It is so beautiful here. I would recommend if you do come give yourself at least a month to travel both islands. We may be small, but there is a lot to see.
I am a kiwi and you got a pretty good boxed selection the first thing I'll say is you can get all of these items as individuals or as a mixture at your local corner store or as we say in New Zealand Dairy the pineapple lumps it can be soft as well but I have noticed Pascal tends to be hard to begin with and then softens up as I said a lot of these products can be bought individually. Now to my favorite apart from Pineapple lumps chicken chips try this take one packet of powdered onion soup mix a squeeze of lemon or dash of vinegar One Tin of nestlé's reduced cream mixed together in a bowl place in the fridge for half an hour to 1 hour then dip the chips into the mix and enjoy as I made my comments at the start of your video I do not know if you got L and P drink in your box, this drink is world famous in New Zealand and best served ice cold enjoy with the chip and dip mix. I will admit that being a kiwi I am biased but as I live overseas in Southeast Asia now and cannot obtain my favorite lollies and treats after 14 years I still find myself craving for all of these items I've seen a few of these reaction videos now to New Zealand treats and snacks and it just makes me homesick. Cheers bro
A tip for opening the packets. You'll notice at the sealed end of the packet there is a serated edge. Tear the packet at right angles by placing your thumbs close together on each side of one of the low points of the packet and tear at 90 degrees. Easy when you know how.
I have a nut elergy too, I can't consume anything Trump. Cheers from Aotearoa New Zealand. Come and visit, have a meat pie, a pavlova, a hangi, a roast lamb, paua, crayfish, cheese, wine and an amazing time. Scenery to die for.
since Maori to English is semi scuffed in translation, Kia Ora doesn't just mean Hello it actually means "Hello n i hope your in good health or Bye n i hope you stay in good health"
pineapple lumps are great frozen as to get some crunch. they have tried a couple of flavours but no one likes them as much as pineapple. the licorice company called RJs which makes licorice which is out of this world. Whittikars is hands down the BEST chocolate in the world and makes lots of great flavours. hi from NZ
So glad you liked our kiwi snacks. The gooey Moro bars are my fave too, best left in the fridge for a while to firm them up a bit, even more yummy. But you'll pay with your teeth if you put the pineapple lumps in the fridge!! They put those fruitburst sweets on the table at conferences, naturally they go pretty fast and have to be topped up at breaks.
The Snickers came AFTER the Moro bar. Or if it was made prior it wasn't available in NZ. I grew up with the Moro and then Snickers came along. Looking at some of the textures of your chocolate and candy. They are wrong. The change in temperature has affected it! The candy centers are not soft and chewy, they are harder than they should be. My family who have moved to Australia actually end up buying a extra suitcase for the trip home which is full of the kiwi snacks not easily sold over there.
Hi Sharon! My gosh! We would love to visit BOTH! It just looks gorgeous! We have watched a few travel shows and a couple of tv shows filmed in Australia and New Zealand and WOW!
ETA Chips and Griffens biscuits are both owned now by a Phillipino billionaire and his sons bikkie empire. They have put massive investment into both factories so good on them and good for our country.
How come the lady ( sorry don’t know name ) didn’t try two of the snacks. Bummed you didn’t try the peanut slab bar. My favourite, I have them all the time. 🎉😮 try it. Eat it all, not just a bite. Then you get the full taste. There are lots of fantastic snacks here that aren’t in the box that I would have put in instead. Enjoy from New Zealand 😊
Freeze the pineapple lumps a few minutes for crunch...pity they didn't add instructions for onion dip as I think the chips look naked without it...Moros are more for working out as it eases muscle strain...the rest are great....nice job...
Does the game "Lumps" involve hammers? lol. I'd love to send you the new cadbury winter orange crisp, smooth choc with crispy zingy orange pieces inside.
My Nephew has the same allergy as you he has to be careful especially when eating curry's and Asian food in case of nuts hidden in the recipes he almost died when he found out he was allergic to nuts he was rushed to Perth hospital. I almost forgot about his allergy to nuts and bought him some thai curry that used peanuts in the curry sauce .he told me thats the second time I tried to kill him causes i ran him over when he was a kid he ran behind my car and i didnt see him when I was reversing out his parents drive way. Now hes in his 30s.

Handing in your PhD thesis at the University of Otago earns you a chocolate fish

also ,,,pineapple lumps are made to be savoured not eaten like a soft toffee

Put your moreover in the fridge when it's good and cold dip and batter deep fry until golden brown and enjoy
Pity they didn't get a "Crunchie Bar" in there.
Best Chocolate Bar is crunchy
We took pineapple lumps to our sons wedding in the USA and they were a hit. Along with toffee pops and squiggle cookies which were also very popular.

Need to eat more than one to get the full taste! Yep i am from New Zealand!
The fruit chews are best if you leave them in your pocket for a while as they turn soft.....much easier to eat.
Thank You for showing us the actual item of the chewy chocolate chew

Hi Sharon! My gosh! We would love to visit BOTH! It just looks gorgeous! We have watched a few travel shows and a couple of tv shows filmed in Australia and New Zealand and WOW!
Pineapple lumps are nice when you freeze them
Thank you! Going to try that with the leftovers!

Pineapple lump chocolate, Pineapple Lump easter eggs and the Orange Lumps

Hi Marianne! I'm Laura. I am allergic to all nuts so I couldn't try those. It's so sad because I love nuts and peanut butter especially!
@@loveandjunkfood ooh ok all good. Funny reaction. Sad about the nuts. Sorry to hear that. 🌺
Years ago Whittaker’s bought out a raisin slab which was awesome especially if you had nut allergy
Freeze the pineapple lumps a few minutes for crunch...pity they didn't add instructions for onion dip as I think the chips look naked without it...Moros are more for working out as it eases muscle strain...the rest are great....nice job...
Bro, the best way to have some pineapple lumps is straight out of the freezer.
Does the game "Lumps" involve hammers? lol. I'd love to send you the new cadbury winter orange crisp, smooth choc with crispy zingy orange pieces inside.
Oh wow! That sounds amazing!!! Hahaha Lumps like lumps of coal. It's a little dice game.
Yes it is the Maori greeting Maori is my country’s second language
Kia ora hullo, welcome
For the sherbet fizz, the mango flavour is better
we have a new kind of toffee pops you might like
I had that snack crate and I liked everything but the pineapple, I don't like pineapple, but did try them.
Those hard little fruit candy have sherbet in it to.
You lucked out with the Pixie Caramel. Usually they're so hard you can barely bite a piece off.
The original Pixie caramel bars were so different in shape years ago.
From NZ, Pineapple lumps are best eaten frozen!
Oh wow! Now we have to see if we can find them again! Thanks for the tip!
@@loveandjunkfood the Moro bars are good frozen too.
Moro is more like a Nicer version of a Mars Bar.
Put the pineapple lumps in the freezer first
I meant deep fried Moro bars.
"Key-ora (or ah)"
How come he's doing all the eating?
I have a nut allergy and so there were some things in this box that I couldn't eat
My Nephew has the same allergy as you he has to be careful especially when eating curry's and Asian food in case of nuts hidden in the recipes he almost died when he found out he was allergic to nuts he was rushed to Perth hospital. I almost forgot about his allergy to nuts and bought him some thai curry that used peanuts in the curry sauce .he told me thats the second time I tried to kill him causes i ran him over when he was a kid he ran behind my car and i didnt see him when I was reversing out his parents drive way. Now hes in his 30s.
I live in nz
That brand of pineapple lumps is not very good. The soft kind is much better
Also Kia Ora is pronounced ki-ora
Sue snackrate for not giving you anyway whittikers chocolate
Kia Ora... approximately pronounced key aura
Whoever put this snack crate together has boring taste buds,most of it anyway.
I’m curious, what do you think should have been in there?
bro its pronounced Ki Ora
Thank you!
Kia-ora is a Maori greeting, it is also a brand of Cordial (squash) here in the UK owned by coca cola
