You should make 2 merchs one saying “You make my day” and another saying “no chance”
When he says "No sshhhhance" I expect no shit.
The" You make my day" shouldn't have branding, just the words with zero context.
I love it when he says those!
DayQuil and NyQuil are your best friend during a cold. One dose and your feeling much better for a few hours or it allows you to actually sleep the entire night when your sick
Alka seltzer plus was my go to but they took out the best ingredient. Dose not work the same….
Hydrogen peroxide is not bleach.
Yes it is. It just doesn't have chlorine. It does function as a bleaching agent.
@@davidcwitkin6729That's obviously not how she was framing it, though, and such a misunderstanding could have quite serious results.
Of course it is. What do you think is the primary ingredient in "non-chlorine" bleach ? Think of an "Oxygenated Bleach" product like "OxyClean". The active ingredient is "Sodium Percarbonate" which a compound of Sodium Carbonate [aka soda ash] and Hydrogen Peroxide.
So a scientist walks into a bar and orders a glass of H2O
A second scientist walks in behind him, and says
"I'll have a glass of NaClO".
You are so correct, the joke falls flat.
" I'll have a glass of H2O2" he dies. Hahah
I think the point is H2O2 has beaching effects. If if IIRC. It is the Oxygen that does the work with both, but my memory ain't what it used to be.
Too many of you hibernated through biology and chemistry. H3O is not bleach and is not hard to find in Spain. Ask any hairdresser.
Lmao did not expect crest whitening strips
It's a very common request. Americans abroad will ask each other to bring them back as well.
I've seen foreigners visit and they bought like 10 boxes of cereal while they were here.
Every time I see a European reacting to eating cereals from the US, they're shocked at how sugary it is. Not surprised that a few of them have a sweet tooth. They probably have to eat it with the blinds down in shame of what their neighbors would think. 🤣
Dogs know the doorbell is gonna ring because they hear people coming up the steps before they ring the bell.
The amount of cereal in the US is mind-blowing. There is, of course, cereal found everywhere, but also some found only in the area/ region you live in.
My favorite is Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
Ross and TJ Maxx are discount stores. They stock clothes and items which did not sell in the major retailers and people can go to the discount stores to buy the same products at a lower price.
Yes they are very hit and miss. My best hit was a particular brand of suit I would wear to work in the before times of 2020 when I had to work in the office. My suits averaged $400. I found the save brand in my size that I loved at TJ Maxx for $60. Now I wear a nice blouse suit jacket and pajama pants. I still have 3 suits I bought for my new job in Feb 2020 hanging in my closet with the tags on them.
There's a store called Burlington (Coat Factory) that has name brand stuff at lower rates. Also Home Goods, Ollies and Tuesday Morning. But you can find great stuff if you go thrifting too so like salvation army, goodwill, DAV, etc
@brandipalmer2526 thrifting is part of how I paid my bills in college. I made custom childrens clothing. For some, thoughI would buy kids overalls and jeans and embilish them and sell them on eBay. It was very easy to buy a pair of overalls for $1 at a thrift store, customize them to what a client wanted and sell then for $40 to $50. Those were late 90s prices.
I got my favorite bathing suit ever at Ross. It made me look AMAZING. But I accidentally lost it in a move. Sad.
Ross is also the FIRST place to check if you need a formal or semi formal gown. It's very hit and miss, but I've gotten stunning formal gowns for $10 there. Talking like prom dresses, or also like cocktail dresses. Sometimes they have literally nothing in stock, but ALWAYS worth checking first before any more expensive stores.
I want a "HOLY SWEET POTATO!" T-Shirt!! 😂
André im with you on not being much for alcohol. I might have one frozen margarita or pina colada a year.
The Irish girl likes Lucky Charms ! Cracks me up. Men who are handsome only need shampoo! 💜 Andre.
I know, I thought the same thing.
Always after me Lucky Charms.
Lucky Charms. I didn't even make the connection when she said it. 😂😂😂
Most states don't tax food sold in grocery stores. In California the only food taxed in a grocery store is that which has been prepared and sold hot.
Everywhere I have ever been has a tax specifically for groceries. Ours is 7%, and some cities and counties have additional taxes on top of the state tax.
This is largely regional. I find most places that don't have a "state tax" also have legalized gambling, such as Nevada.
@@lilsammywasapunkrockWhere do they tax groceries at 7%?
Kansas now taxes food at 2% effective 1/1/24 that's a decrease from the 4% in 2023. 2022 and back our food tax was 6.5%. our sales tax where I live is 7.5% on anything that is not food items
Nyquill and DayQuill were my go to medications when I was working. I am one who can be completely with a cold with its cough, runny eyes, name a symptom. DayQuill was wonderful! I could feel normal, not get dazed at my desk, and get thru my days work. NyQuil allowed me to sleep through the night not all plugged up or waking up every two hours. As a retiree, I still keep NyQuill around!
I know Europeans who will fly to the US without clothing in their suitcase and will purchase everything once they arrive. The cost of clothing is cheaper in the US.
We Americans really love our Pick up Trucks, and Muscle Cars.
Melatonin is a hormone in your body that plays a role in sleep. The production and release of melatonin in the brain is connected to time of day, increasing when it's dark and decreasing when it's light. Melatonin production declines with age.
Sometimes, with depression/anxiety the melatonin/seratonin (hormone released in the daytime) can get off-kilter, released at the wrong time or become unbalanced. Taking melatonin at bedtime is kind of a 'reset' of the body. I find that I dream a lot when I take melatonin.
I wake up feeling awful when I take melatonin - wife says the same.
One of my doctors recommended it to me because I find it hard to sleep, but have not side affects from it that I know of.
@@ashfordj81 I have chronic insomnia and take melatonin nightly. I've been taking 10mg nightly for a long time with no side effects. I've had no problems either when I've sometimes take 20mg. I'd suggest you try a different brand.
My husband and I both experienced weird dreams when we tried melatonin. Neither of us could handle it, it just didn't feel right..
If that trip she made was within the last 2 years the price increase is because inflation is nuts in the U.S. right now. The products being locked up at Target is probably (depending on where she was) because retail theft is so bad in some places that stores are locking up a *lot* of their items and stores are even being closed down in certain areas in some cities if not in the entire city.
I like whiskey but I've always only drank alcohol when I went out dancing. Since I can't physically do that anymore I also don't drink alcohol anymore except for a sip of champagne at midnight on New Year's Eve.
No, the GREEDflation is nuts, the INFLATION is low, but companies, terrified of being 'reigned in' by Biden (and, just naturally being greedy) have used the actual inflation from when the pandemic was going, full force (14 % inflation) as an 'excuse' to pump up their PROFITS to (75% when the inflation was 14% that's 14% higher than pre-pandemic and 75% HIGHER than what it usually was pre-pandemic hitting). So NOT inflation, my friend, GREEDflation. Thank you so much. :)
Agree its theft that's the reason things are locked up. Stores are told not to bither.. they won't hold them because it's too many.
You really should check the actual numbers. Inflation was really high right after the pandemic, but it's been down to 3+ for about the last 4 or 5 months. It's been a worldwide problem since the Corona virus, but the US has had the fastest economic recovery of any industrialized country, and the quickest return to near normal inflation levels.
@@greeneyedlady5580 Tell that to my wallet after grocery shopping.
@@toodlescae Your wallet would be worse off in other places. home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/the-us-economic-recovery-in-international-context-2023
As an american, i was surprised to find out how many restrictions there are on drugs that can be bought freely in america.
Not just what's available or not, but even the dosages on what is available. It's really bad in japan, you can't even buy tylenol!
Oh wow. Those poor women when their time of the month comes
The reason for this is something called the "Codex Alimentarius". It's worth looking up why and how such restrictions are adopted and implemented.
I tried to buy ibuprofen in greece the lady acted like I was trying to buy cocaine!
Tylenol, interestingly enough, is acetaminophen (known also as paracetamol), which the video asserts is the active ingredient in Day/NyQuil. It is an ingredient, but mainly as a headache and pain reliever. There are other active ingredients for congestion, cough, etc.
Melatonin is a sleep aid. It used to be a very niche thing, but now it's more common. There's a whole subculture of barely-regulated supplements of all sorts, but the quality control has improved over the years, and now it's more accepted and more widely available. I take 5 mg of melatonin right before bed. It doesn't make you drowsy, but it does help you to stop thinking about everything when you're trying to fall asleep, and suddenly it's morning.
Melatonin is a naturally occurring substance in the human body that helps regulate the daily cycle of sleep and wakefulness but by taking exogenous melatonin you can "fool" your body into thinking it's time for sleep. It's a much more natural and milder effect than "sleeping pills" as people usually think of them, even OTC ones like antihistamines (benadryl).
When I was assigned to Kosovo in 2000 to 2003 we would get products like Dayquil for our local employees because nothing they could buy - even with a prescription - worked as well.
On the “no chance?” I love the way you say it. I find myself saying it now, but of course it doesn’t sound at all the same as when you’re saying it.
Tide to go pens are great!
9:30 - It's definitely "t-eye-d" because it's the English word used to describe water on the beach coming up and going down over the course of the day. It's not just a made up brand name.
If you like one product to do it all, she mentioned Dr Bronner's liquid soaps. They're amazing. Super concentrated, so a couple of drops is all you need to wash basically all of you. Being in Atlanta, thus hot most of the year, I prefer the Peppermint scent of it, but have to avoid my head/face because it's very...pepperminty. But another scent could be used for shampoo, though.
Andre, thank you for letting me relive my child hood with your reaction to Reeses Puffs. I remember being a kid and seeing the commercials when they were first introduced. Our reaction was the same 😂
Haha I didn't even know this had already been requested, but when you said we had been asking for merch I immediately thought of merch with "No chance" on it. I think it's because you always say it when you're being astonished by something, and a lot of people watch reaction channels because we enjoy the pure joy and wonder of someone discovering new things.
She got one word wrong: it's Benzoyl Peroxide (not Benozyl). It's most often used in face cleansers, specifically stuff for preventing or getting rid of acne. That lets us know how young she is, because generally people don't need to worry about acne after the mid-20s. (Or at least i didn't.)
Some of us aren’t that lucky. I rarely had acne as a teenager, but as an adult…holy crap! My dad is in his 70s and still has acne. Yay genetics!
No shants would be a cool shirt lol your vids are awesome
W comment. I would buy one 🫡
If people are asking about merch, they are probably or should be asking if you have a P.O. Box...... By the way do you have a P.O. Box you wish to share so Americans can send you Crest white strips NyQuil and everything else you can't get in Portugal.
I would love to see that on Andre's channel. He'll get flooded like the NZ family and not know what to do with it all ❤ I know he said he has a friend in Spain where things can be sent but to get that in Portugal is difficult. Hopefully, he can provide a bit more detail 😊
Andre - do make this a thing, or perhaps you know someone with a business local to you in Portugal where you can give out the address "in care of" you. Just an idea, plenty of people would be happy to spend $$$ on getting you some of these things (like Reese's cereal).
Yes Andre get a PO box. You need to try Dr pepper and our Reese's among other things
My wife is on her way to CVS for Melatonin as I type this lol
I'm awake watching UA-cam because I'm out lol
Reese's Puffs is like candy for breakfast! It's so delicious!!! Since it's basically candy I only get a box once every few years and then I drool and enjoy.
Edit: you need to get a mailing address and ask your viewers to send you Reese's Puffs and other care packages. All the other European Reacts channels do this so it's ok (The Beasleys, Shaun).
The different prices on the shelf is showing you the individual serving price and then the package price. That way you can compare package size so you can decide 😮which size you prefer.
The 2 prices in grocery stores: one is the price of the item (usually yellow) and the other is the price per-unit, typically a standard volume or weight. It is to help you compare prices across brands in different size containers. Is the 12-oz ketchup for $2.25 a better value than the 18-oz ketchup for $3.50? The unit price will tell you that one is $3.00 per 16 oz and the other is 3.11 per 16 oz. So the first is a better value (16 oz is common because it's equal to 1 pound - a bit under half a kilo).
It doesn’t matter where you buy them. They’re from the same company distributed to different stores you could go to Walmart and buy them. Or you can go to target for a little bit more and if Neiman Marcus sold it, you can get it for $500. It doesn’t matter where you get it. It’s the same thing.
Lucky Charms are awesome. They are essentially an older cereal Alpha-bits (sugary cheerios in the shape of letters and numbers) which I believe was a Post product. General Mills added dehydrated marshmallow pieces in a variety of shapes and colors (star, four leaf clover. crescent moon?) to make Lucky Charms.
Alphabits did not originally have marshmallows in it and Lucky Charms only had a few shapes that were “magically delicious.” Both cereals were better when I was a kid. I was a Trixx girl myself, which only had three colors of cereal balls, not the craziness it is now.
I just got a hip replacement three and a half weeks ago and still have some healing to go. I have been having trouble sleeping and remembered I have a bottle of Melatonin in the hall linen closet. It has helped the past few nights.
The cereal thing trips me out 😂. Like why don’t you guys have these cereals? We have like a million different cereals. There’s something for everyone.
Every time you said 'no chance' for about the first hundred times, I thought you were going to say 'no chit'
I said it before and I’ll say it again, he needs to make “No Chance” merchandise. I’d buy a No Chance t-shirt, hoodie, jacket, bumper sticker…
It's "No Shance".
@@humanbeing1168 same, my daughter and I say it to each other all the time now.
I am with you on the not drinking, even when I was in the Army back in the 1980s. When we went out I was always the driver and bouncer per say.
Typically, there is a distinction between coffee cream―a 18% milk fat version of half-and-half (10%) cream―and coffee *creamer*. Coffee cream is simply a mid-fat cream, and *coffee creamer* is a flavoured product, often non-dairy or dairy mixed with non-dairy ingredients.
dogs have extremely good hearing, that might be why they know someones at the door before they ring the doorbell.
"God gifted me with looks so I don't need to day anything to improve" - André. LOL jk. keep up the good work man.
The two prices are, the one on the left is the unit price eg per oz, the price on the right is the actual price at the register. These two prices are used to show the breakdown of per unit prices. Many people shop per unit price as opposed to actual total price per package. Generic items are usually cheaper per unit than brand names.
And Andre our stores do not display the cost including tax. The cost in the aisle is the item price then when you check out it adds taxes (either food and/or sales taxes) so when you shop here unless you're in certain states and locations you have to take tax into account.
Nyquil is a cold medicine with a heavy dose of alcohol. Dayquil is the same stuff with no alcohol in it.
Some of those drugs are great because they are combined decongestants and pain relievers. I just stocked up too on Tylenol Severe Day - great stuff!
I need a "No Shance" t shirt my guy. Great reaction.
The Crest White Strips aren’t locked up because they are expensive. Items that are stolen are locked up. I’ve seen some stores where a deodorant is locked up.
I was recently in Europe. I needed hydrocortisone because my eyelid was really irritated. Needing a prescription for it over there was so irritating. Here I can get it off the shelf at a grocery store.
Not to mention knock off brands you can get at dollar general, family dollar, Kroger, Walmart, dollar tree, etc.
She could save herself a lot of money if she understood the value of all the B vitamins and C vitamins. They sell B complex with C over here in the US in most drug stores and supermarkets. My late brother put me on to them back in the 60’s when he was a pharmaceutical salesman. He said when he had been drinking too much, he took several before going to sleep to avoid a hangover. It replaced the nutrients in your liver that the alcohol destroyed. Like you, I wasn’t that big into alcohol; but I also learned that simple stress depletes these vitamins too. They’re vital to your immune system. Also, they’re water soluble, which means you excrete what you don’t need and can’t overdose on them.
This is not true of Vitamins A and D which are fat soluble; too much of those may mean a trip to the hospital to have your stomach pumped. I have gotten people started taking these over the last 40 years or so and I’m always profusely thanked.The more expensive name brands in the USA are Albee with Cee & Stresstabs. However, B Complex with C is the most common generic name. I’m 78 now and avoided at least a half dozen flu pandemics and countless colds and cases of stomach flu. By the way, my doctor is totally on board with this.
the 2 different prices are usually full price in white and coupon price or customer loyalty club price in yellow.
💡Idea for foreigners traveling to the states and wanting to take things back home with them. Save space in your suitcase for your new clothes! For everything else, for example, take the cereal out of the boxes, pack them in one large box, and ship the box to your house.
the whitening strips aren't in the case because the price, it's because it's a high-theft item. acetaminophen is tylenol.
I think it might be called paracetamol over there.
Night Quil is the best.1 family size bottle for a 2 dose application works the best.
WHAT?! you don’t know about he Quills?! They’re great when you’re sick!
André to be honest, your "No chance" is truly iconic :) My partner and I sometimes imitate you saying this (with appreciation for you, not mockery) and it seems to capture your sunny spirit! Just my opinion...
The dog probably did know. My cat alerts me as soon as someone puts a foot on my front porch! Of course, that alert is a growl followed immediately by him hiding. Andre, you have pretty skin-you definitely don’t need a tanner. Kellogg’s is a company that makes a plethora of different cereals. I try to avoid sweetened cereals, although I do occasionally buy Lucky Charms or Corn Puffs to eat dry as a snack food.
Definitely need a "No shants my friend" t shirt. With a caricature of you with your hand on your forehead. That would be awesome 😂
NyQuil has alcohol in it. That’s why it works with sleep, etc. Andre, we want you to cook some of the easy dishes you crave from the U.S. Just like you did with the peanut butter and jelly!🥳
Great idea
in Vegas you can get an actual IV for hang overs.
Kellogg’s is a company of cereals.
Melatonin is a natural substance.
Acetaminophen is Tylenol - so pain relief - non narcotic. Take over (I think it's) 8 of them the extra strength / day you'll end up in the hospital... w/ your liver. Happened to a friend of my mom's. Fortunately, she ended up being ok.
aka Paracetamol in the UK.
I've sent some images of just some of the Reese's items we have in the states. It's mind blowing. My favorite Reese's is the ultimate peanut butter lovers. It's peanut butter wrapped in peanut butter cream no chocolate at all
My wife’s grandmother in Romania always made us bring her a bunch of aspirin. She thinks American aspirin is a wonder drug.
The price listed never includes the tax.. and in some states groceries aren't taxed.
Was going to ring before the person rang it😅 you got to remember Andre dogs can smell a lot better than us their old factories receptors are very touchy so they smell a lot more than we do that's one way he'd know someone was coming closer plus they also have extremely good hearing he knew that person was coming before that person made it within 50 ft of that door guaranteed❤😅
You put the coffee creamer in a Ziploc freezer bag just by the smaller bottles.
TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshall's are all the same owners. Lucky charms, my favorite cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch is the best ..
Hello Andre, Diane Jennings is from Ireland but I belive she now lives in Spain , right next door to you!
Diane must take a entire empty suitcase to hold all that stuff when she goes home.
Big difference between hydrogen peroxide and bleach. And melatonin is a supposed someone natural sleep aid to help you sleep but there's recent studies that that is actually pretty dangerous
Extended release melatonin is a real game changer!
The first one is whitening strips, or should be, look at those glowing teeth.
Look on the back of the box to see if the active ingredient amount is the same. Typically the Walmart Equate brand is a dup for the name brand ones.🌻
I've looked at a LOT of Equate items in Walmart, and they're always the same as the name brand.
@@greeneyedlady5580 EXACTLY THE SAME!
There are two prices because alot of stores have free discount cards.
Fun fact: I used to work with a woman whose husband invented Crest White Strips....
Baby wipes works good as tide pens I love baby wipes.
I feel like half the cereal industry is
A) kids (ie the parents) and
B) European Tourists who want the "American Experience" lol
Half of what seems to be unavailable in Europe pharmacy wise is just ...normal supplements?
Melatonin is something we all produce naturally to sleep, but is often taken as a sleep-aid for people struggling to do so. I can't really imagine why some of this is impossible to find. Weirder or stronger chemicals or pharmaceuticals I could get. But...
Someone buy this man a box of Reese's Puffs NOW!!
I would if he'd just get a PO box, so he'd be comfortable giving out an address!
I buy the big bag of Reeses' Puffs. 35 oz for $6.77. They don't even bother putting it in a box. They just sell the bag. 😂
So drugs lol, yea makes sense tbh lmao. Yea these are normal for us. Never knew it wasn’t elsewhere and I was born in Germany (army brat) and have been to Romania
I was looking at my other monitor when her doorbell went off. I nearly got up to answer my door.
NyQuil is some of the best stuff on earth. Feel bad? Take some before bed. You'll sleep like a log and feel better in the morning. It just works.
The stronger cold medicine she's talking about contains dextromethorphan, an effective cough suppressant. I think it's available in Europe but only by prescription
No nyquil? Weird.
Of all the things in the world it’s the whitening strips I thought it would be something normal like a converter where you can plug your electric devices into an American plug
This old man doesn't drink alcohol anymore. Been there done that. It all tastes bad!
The reason why Amricans have better looking teeth is bc many of them have braces during their younger years.
"or that"
😂
Yeah... when I'm sick I don't take anything, just sleep it off
DayQuil and NyQuil are very nice, but was the Schizas Robitussin.. Tussin is the Duct Tape of cold and Flu season when I was a kid
Get a PO box and one of us will send you some recess puffs....lol, but you have to try them on camera.
I agree about alcohol
I'm ok w/ and even enjoy the flavor w/ most, it's the effects I could do w/o;)
People like the "No Chance" because, at least where I live, I don't hear it often and never with a little accent to it. It makes you unique. It's nice. Don't worry about the hair products, my husband is so bad that if he runs out of shampoo and I'm not around to find it for him, he uses the hand soap instead and when I see him later, I can tell he needs shampoo again. I thing it may be a man thing, or maybe just my husband's thing.
Neither my husband or I like alcohol. I don't care for the smell. He says it just isn't something he likes. Nothing to be ashamed of. To each their own.
Note: Just a thought, If you do get a P.O. box, it might be good to check to see what items may not be legal or right to import. I know Australia is very careful of products that could bring in crop diseases, like ginger roots, nuts that are not commercially packaged and a few other things and they actually x-ray packages that come in to see if there might be any of that type of material in them.
It's pretty common for Americans to spend a lot of money on dental stuff. It's not surprising that our nonprescription items are stronger. We have a huge pharmaceutical industry in the US.
That's an understatement
Oh wow. Didn't realize you didn't have DayQuil and NyQuil. I agree with her that they are really good when you have a cold/flu.
They make NyQuil for people with high blood pressure, it has a silver foil cap and has HBP on the front of the bottle.
I don't take anything either, but I also don't get sick. My teeth are very important! I go for a checkup and a professional clean twice a year and keep my teeth white. I hate looking at discolored, crooked, unhealthy teeth.
If you ever visit Texas I highly recommend Lockhart Texas it is the BBQ capital of Texas with over 7 different famous BBQ places wich including Terry Blacks BBQ which is the same BBQ place that you have watched the family from New Zealand eat BBQ from and on top of that it is a nice small town with live music almost every night and during the summer every Friday a band comes to the Square and plays amazing music.
My favorite Texas bbq place is in San Antonio and it's called Riskys (sp). Texas bbq is the vinegar based which is so much better the Kansas bbq which is brown sugar based and sweet. I like the tang and some spice in my bbq sauce. A similar grocery store dupe for Riskys is called Redneck Lipstick and it's phenomenal 😊
No Chance is definitely needed on a shirt!
I shop at Ross almost once a week!
I dont drink either
No Dayquil or Nyquil in European????? We never let it go empty in the house. I even ship it from Costco to my kids in college. How do you take care of a cold or sinus infection? Or the 2020 virus that shall not be named. The american way, or maybe southern way, is sprite, homemade chicken noodle soup and dayquil. It is also one of the only meds where i can tell a difference between the e generic and name brand.
