Truth right there. Once they delivered my niece's Christmas present to my neighbour and I never got the parcel back because they decided to keep it (but we couldn't prove it). And every now and then I have to walk to my neighbours mailbox and deliver her mail because I keep getting it in mine 🙄
@@misstrystlast Christmas my siblings and I broke into an argument over what was more kiwi - burger rings or rashuns. We in our late forties and older. Our young folks who joined in part way through then raised what was up with hellers using those flavours 😂
Kiwi here. Algorithm brought me here. I appreciate you are trying less known kiwi foods (others have mentioned the more common ones) so it's a bit different and a bit more interesting than others. Good work! 😊
another Kiwi, my son used to take a pack with him skiing, and sprinkle in on a clean patch of fresh snow... scoop it up in a cup to freak everyone out... with the yellow snow...
Also I recommend buying Maggie onion soup sachet and a tin of reduced cream. Mix and chill. Then dip your chips and eat. You won’t want to share. Every kiwi party has it dates from about 1960
I am a New Zealander, my wife is Irish. When she came to N.Z. 45 years ago she fell in love with L and P. It is a very popular mixer with bourbon. In a bar you ask for a bourbon and Paeroa.
L&P is short for Lemon and Paeroa in the olden days the town of Paeroa has a carbonated water spring people started adding lemon to the water it got popular started selling it and then it got shorten to L&P
Dude, there was a limited edition L&P white chocolate slab with popping candy that were fire. If they ever come out again or if I find some I'll send some to you.
Hey Kyle, i’m from New Zealand and I really enjoyed this video. It made me happy seeing someone enjoy our snacks! I enjoy jolly ranchers from the US or your Sour Patch, I haven’t tried too many other US snacks but I would love to
Very much an acquired taste if you haven't been brought up on them I think. Sweet & sour and kind of grainy. I've given some to backpackers I've worked with over the years and it's about 50/50 love them or hate them.
Cool video! Glad you like Whittaker’s chocolate it’s very famous here in New Zealand! The Raro drink is just mixed with water, you must have been reading a “recipe idea” on the packaging. It’s just like a sweet fruit juice 👍🏼
Thanks for the reaction. New Zealand likes sweet food. Whittakers is my favourite chocolate. I don’t really buy biscuits but those “cameo cremes” I remember from the 80s and they were always last to go from the cookie tray lol. Those Kiwifruit and Feijoa (fe-jaw-a) candies I’ve never seen before. They look like something from a souvenir shop to sell to tourists. Once chips are opened you can place remainder in freezer and it keeps them fresh and crisp for weeks. Raro is our no frills orange juice. You mix one packet to one litre of water and stir and it’s ready. That recipe you read I’m sure no one does lol. Keep up the good work.
As a kiwi I recommend Raro (raw), L&P, Jaffas, Milkshakes (lollies), jet planes, pineapple lumps, toffee pops, squiggle tops and any Whittaker’s chocolate and blue bird chips
Raro is actually made just as you thought, just mix up with water (make sure to make it reasonably thick, or else it's a bit too watery and tasteless). It's very much a kids drink. Making it up with lemonade/ice cream is more of an extra/treat suggestion. Esp with ice cream, you'd only really give that to kids at a party or similar...I've never heard of mixing raro up with ice cream, you'd usually do a lemonade and ice cream combination, called a spider. Feijoas are amazing, delicious fruit. Most kiwis love them, but some people do hate them, so maybe you'd fall into the latter category if you didn't like the lollies. It is quite a distinctive, unique taste. We have feijoa flavour everything lately, they're so popular.
I would like to try the actual fruit at some point! I’m usually not big on lollies. I don’t care much for jolly ranchers or hard candies we have here but I figured it’d be worth a shot! Lol
Feijoa jelly would be the way to go, so good on buttered toast. The clear jelly not the pulpy stuff, and if you don't like it just hide it in the fridge at work haha. Lemon coconut and dates sounds like a really odd mixture.
One of the things you'll find with snack foods made in New Zealand is that we have very strict regulations about what can and cannot be included in the food. As a result, we make our snacks with a lot of natural ingredients that wouldn't be used in the USA because they're more costly than that the artificial equivalent.
Paeroa - (pie) roa.. you need to taste "Kettles" sea salt and vinegar. Youll never want another brand of salt and vinegar chips.. other chips are munchos, twisties, burger rings and rashans. Biscuits id go for mellow puffs, toffee pops, Krisps and Digestives.. Thanks for the reaction
Fee a Joe a. Is a fruit also called pineapple guava. Lemon and pay roll a is named after a town in New Zealand. Enjoy. Vogels bread is best toasted with butter and peanut butter
next time, you wanna get chicken chips and also you get the raro or whatever juice and dunk the cookies. (or milk/warm drinks of course) they are a little harder because we have a strong coffee culture.
@@thehangmansdaughter1120 Paeroa is a Maori word meaning long ridge - pae (ridge) roa (long) Lemon and Pie-raw-ah is closer to the correct Maori pronunciation. If you can roll the /r/ in Paeroa (as in Spanish or Mexican) then pronunciation is perfect.
Fee -jo-a ----> Feijoa , oh and Kyle the Raro does not have to made with lemonade unless you want to drink it carbonated most of us here in New Zealand just drink it by adding it to water. How much Raro you add to the water depends on personal taste. Paeroa is said like this -----> Pai-row-ah you can replace the Pai with pie if that makes it easier. And we just call the drink L&P. Thank you for trying some of our snacks, hope you get to try some more 😊
My favourite snack from your pile would be the chocolate, mind you I wasn't in NZ when they released the flemmings new short bread bar. The RaRo sachets can be mixed with just water for a cool drink bro. Its pronounced RAR ROW. The fejoia Lollie you disliked is pronounced FE JOE A. I have a fruit tree with Fejoia,we love the authentic flavor of this fruit. We live in Australia now and love that we can still access lots of our faves here down under.
Hey there I'm in NZ, firstly salt and vinegar chips are good or bad depending on how strong the taste is of vinegar and they come in chicken as well. The Raro drink sachets you have are individual and can be mixed with 1litre of water well shaken and refrigerated. The drink you couldn't pronounce is better known as L and P. And Tim tams chocolate biscuits are the best single layer and double layer chocolate if you ever try them as are twisties which are like crisps. Happy eating you made me laugh because I also spat the coconut balls out. But never have never seen the lollies 😂
As for the raro kyle dont follow the instructions just throw the entire packet in a plastic bottle then fill ot with water then shake it up after u put top on then put it in fridge then drink when cold but its isnt essential at all you could just put the raro in a big jug serve it cold or after mixed so yeah us kiwos dont follow instructions on the raro at all
Not to mention, I had never heard of those directions in my life. Admittedly I haven’t bought Raro in years, but the only way I had ever known to drink it was to mix in water and chill as you said. I guess they needed to up their sales pitch somewhere along the way.
Generally in NZ, biscuits are crisper and crunchy like those ones, and cookies are softer. If you want to try our cookies go for Cookie Time Cookies, I also suggest pineapple lumps, and peanut slab :-)
I'm a Kiwi and there are no Pineapple lumps, no Jaffas, no chocolate fish, no peanut slab, no Milky bar, no fanta. But I'm glad you got the Whittakers.
I've never seen those lollies either, the ready salted chips put them in a sandwich with 2 slices of bread is the best, and order the reduced cream and onion dip and combine them both to make a dip, then eat them with the green onion chips. That's to die for, cameo creams are my favs with the chocolate chippies my second, then Shrewsbury biscuits.
I'm also a kiwi (New Zealander) L&P is the best and it's also good with bourbon. Green onion chips are great with dip. Here people make Maggi french onion soup mix into dip for chips. Whittakers blonde is definitely great chocolate.
Also you also gotta try blue bird burger rings and blue bird rashuns and popa jacks youll love them. Had these as a kid growing up when going to primary school or as u like to call it elementary school
No raro changed much like all these foods Kyle eating in my view when I grew up in the late 1970s it didn't taste like it did today back in the days all of these foods were made with real fruits and ingredients lots changed since then it's more expensive for real ingredients in the 90s food here in Aoetearoa changed alot of the real ingredients were either delisted from our food chains because of health concerns or it was just to expensive to get the real materials in so they did what most countries do and replaced the real ingredients with bs azz Fake ingredients even I noticed in the early 90s foods that are processed started to taste strange and or unknown to kids born in the old days upto the early 90s
Also Kool aid was banned here in Aoetearoa aka new Zealand many yrs ago so idk where you get ya Kool aid assumption we have laws here that prevents stuff that kills u all everyday in America from killing us all I know for sure is America processed food has outlawed ingredients that will never ever make it to these shores ever so get that cool aid assumption out of ya mind man because ya wrong wrong and wrong raro was originally a Pacific island made drink eventually raro made it here to my shores
Hi, I'm from New Zealand, and that drink raro what you do get a ltr jug of water put one pkt in stir well and drink what they are suggesting is another sort of drink you can make with it.
Whittaker medium dark for me, (they have a wide range of dark chocolate). L&P of course and Cookie Time too. The soft pineapple lumps and Griffin's Gingernuts, (dunked in hot tea.)
pronounced fee-jo-a, if you aren't used to the fruit you probably wont like them, personally love them. also as you call them fiber bars we call the muesli bars. the raro, just use water, the drink on the back is called a "spider" its not the actual drink
Raro sachet just add to 1ltr water, mix it up , cool in your fridge, pour over ice in a glass and enjoy ❤ you should get the Whittaker peanut slab if you like peanuts. I don't know about those lemon drops, I don't remember those as a kiwi favorite but ic you like gum, try Wrigley's juicy fruit and to pronounce the Paeroa on the drink it would sound like, Lemon & Pie roarrrrrr like a lions roar. I would love to try some of American sweets n snacks, what is your fellas favorites. ❤❤❤
The RARO is just a flavoured water drink. The lemonade and ice cream is just an option. Paeroa is Pronounces (PIE RO A) It's a small town in the Waikato in the North Island, Waikato is pronounced (Why cat O) Great video.
Seems the algorithm has thrown this video New Zealands way😂 as others have suggested Raro with 0.26 gal of water (1 litre). Paeroa is pronounced pie-roe-ah. Not everyone like Feijoa or passionfruit! Glad you liked most of our treats. There are plenty more recommendations in the comments from fellow kiwis.
Kiwi here... or New Zealand local. L&P is Lemon and Paeroa ... Pronounced pie raw a. Feijoa pronounced as Fee joe a. The raro you can mix with water, tgats how most of us would do it. 1 packet of raro to 1 litre of water. Also the L&P is much nicer cold 😊
btw lemonade over here is different to over in USA it kinda like your sprite it's like sweet flavorless soda basically so you could have that raro with sugar and water or anything
Arnotts are another good biscuit company. Try their Tim Tams, Mint Slices , or Farmbake Cookies. Griffins Gingernuts are great for dunking in a hot drink. They go well with tea or hot chocolate, not sure about with coffee. Copper Kettle chips are better than Bluebird. You also need Pineapple Lumps and Machintosh Toffees. Heard's Barley Sugar is nice - the sort of thing my grandma would stock in her pantry as a treat, along with Oddfellow peppermints.
Hello Mr man from the USA. White chocolate is a favourite of mine. All the other products are great favourites here in New Zealand. Thanks for tasting a small sample of our products. You should try our chocolate biscuits and popcorn, why not give them a go next time. 🇳🇿👍😊
You can mix the Raro with water, you dont have to add lemonade etc! Some of the stuff you’ve tried I’ve never even heard of and I’ve lived in NZ for so many years! Get someone to pack you some of the actual NZ favourites lol
Also I have never mixed Raro with lemonade. You mix with water. Most Kiwi kids(like me) grew up on it. Maybe it's changed, been years since I drank it.
The raro is a drink that you mix with water. The biscuits are just basic nothing to rave about. In fact the biscuits are not even made in nz anymore. The lemon roll things I’ve never seen. The chocolate is the best and the lollies I’ve seen in tourist spots but really unpleasant to taste. You call the fruit Kiwi we call ourselves a kiwi and the fruit kiwi fruit. Fijoa is an acquired taste and a little like Guava fruit from South America but the lollie tastes like petroleum. Many commenters have made some excellent suggestions if you were to try this again. From an old Kiwi😊
You just mix the Raro with water, it's a juice sachet. The other recipe must have been some sort of desert recipe (which sounds gross) but it isn't actually the main way of making it. Standard is you just mix it with 1litre of water (or slightly less if you like it sweeter) - those candies I've never seen in my life
For the cookies, you can microwave them to make them softer, and for the raro, dont bother with the instructions, just add to water (or sometimws we just snort it)
In NZ we just put the RARO into cold/chilled water, hardly ever into lemonade. Sometimes we'll put it into soda water (sparkling water). As kids we would lick our finger and dunk it into the RARO packet and then lick the powder off our fingers.
I agree with you. Hokey pokey biscuits or bars, pineapple lumps things like that. I have never seen those lollies he didn't like. Maybe it's touristy items you pay heaps for at main centre resorts, eg Rotorua. Queenstown etc.
New Zealander here, you definently got a few good things, but honestly this wasn't the best haul u could have gotten. You missed the Tim tams, the cookie times, the bumper bars. And the heartland chips they are the best cookies and chips u can get for sure! Also, next time get the oinion soup sashet and reduced cream can to make an instant dip and try the Whitakers milk chocolate too! ❤
Greetings from NZ! quick tip get yourself a water mellon cut the top off sprinkle a thin layer of the RARO into the mellon, scoop and eat rinse and repeat! Enjoy!
Oh you got the Vogel's! Toasted with spread and a thin layer of Marmite and a slice of tomato and pepper, yum. PLease try making teh kiwi onion dip - it's amazing and a staple here (chill it for a little while). Points for leaing the Whittakers and L&P til last to go together! They're a great combo. Paeroa is a place in NZ (pronounced pie-rower). They used to put Paeroa spring water in L&P til the plant closed down 40yrs ago. Now it's made at the Coke factory in Auckland NZ, still with spring water, just not Paeroa water.
Hello from NZ, just come across your video,. Feijoas, (fe-jo-as) we grew heaps of bushes in Napier, My family loved them, I cant stand them, cant get past the scent of them, its like perfume. If you like savoury biscuits, Huntley & Palmers Sesameal Crackers with 5 grains are yum, with cheese, Avo, tomato, or just about anything.on top.
Paeroa is pronounced pay-row-ahh. Feijoa is pronounced fee-Joe-ahh. The lollies are really for tourists…no one else eats them. Pineapple lumps are kiwi lollies and super addictive.
Love the review mate, awesome work! For those Raro packets, you need to mix one packet with a liter of cold water. Stir until dissolved, then drink it with ice - beautiful!!!! ✊🔥🔥🔥
Paeroa is pronounced Pie-row-a (well the way that is easier for other countries to pronouce) and feijoa is pronounced fe-joe-a its very loved over here in nz
New Zealand chocolates the best in the world l reckon. I been to Switzerland land of the best chocolates but too rich for me can only eat small bites at a time as to eating a half of a large bar of any flavour of NZ chocolates in minutes. I am so thrilled watching your video especially because you favoured almost all of them. The Raro item l was surprised but quite excited to see it on the table there. Raro is short for Rarotonga the biggest & capital of the Cook Island where the product originated from. I am from there & now living in Australia. You are right thinking it’s a drink because that’s how it all started also comes in cans. Well the canning factory in Raro closed decades ago but it appears the brand lives on. I don’t drink fizzy drinks but would only buy Raro or Vita fresh sachet drinks, brought my kids up on that & fizzy drinks only as a treat. I have watched a few other channels trying out NZ snacks & like you they loved all of them. I’m proud oh incidentally we Cook Islanders are also New Zealanders we carry NZ passports grew up on NZ imported food products. It took me a while to get used to Australian butter & of course chocolates well been here 34yrs lol & loves it. Thank you for your channel my 1st time watching it.
I've never seen anyone buy those coconut balls lol. 🥝 is kiwifruit, and a kiwi is a bird native to the country. Paeroa is pronounced as pae (pie) and with a rolling r is roa. My bro if you going to buy more nz food ill make a list.
Please make that list! Lol I like kiwi the fruit and the snacks, what I was talking about is Feijoa, it wasn’t very good! Thank you for your help and please again make that list! I’ll try and make it happen(shipping is expensive lol)
Try get these items Just juice bubbles tropical. Pineapple lumps. Twisties,rashens and burger rings. Chips, i don't know if you would like them but never know. Cookie time cookies. Heat for 10-15 seconds trust me on that. Puhoi chocolate milk or Whittakers chocolate milk. Steak and cheese pies. Meat pies soo good Pavlova, make sure you get whipped cream, kiwifruit,strawberries and chocolate flakes from your local. Nestle reduced cream and Maggie onion soup mix in bowl and leave in fridge for 1hour and eat with those bluebird onion chips.
Next time you need to get Eta Munchos (Cheese & Onion), Burger Rings, and Rashuns. Also, Arnott's Kingstons (my favourite biscuit/cookie), and Cadbury Mallowpuffs.
Bluebird chips are owned by PepsiCo, who also happen to own Lays chips. Copper kettle chips are also owned by Bluebird. You'll find the same people own your brands that own ours, at least that's my guess.
The raro u mix it with water its like cool aid but u dont add sugar , that thing u read at the back of the packet was just a dessert u could make with it lol
The raro is supposed to be with water. One of those packets to 1-2 litres of water depending how strong you want it. The recipe with lemonade must be some special extra one to try.
If there ain't no Pineapple Lumps or Peanut Slab it ain't a real reaction video
lmao
pineapple can go but peanut can stay
Hello Tim tams? Lamingtons?
I came on here to say that, also no Jaffers.
But the chipssss
Crikey takes longer to get a parcel within NZ then to send one overseas.
That's right haha.
I can agree with that one as im a kiwi citizen!
Truth right there. Once they delivered my niece's Christmas present to my neighbour and I never got the parcel back because they decided to keep it (but we couldn't prove it).
And every now and then I have to walk to my neighbours mailbox and deliver her mail because I keep getting it in mine 🙄
straight up ive been waiting for a week to get my controller and its only down the road
@shetaidocx186 then it shows its with the courier, and sits there for days. Frustrating man
Best Snack Box would be L&P, Jaffas, Pineapple Lumps, Jetplanes, Milk bottles, Chit-Chat, Toffee-pops, Squiggle tops, Whittakers, Cookie-Time, Macs Ginger Beer, Pics penutbutter, OSM Bars
And lolly cake (might have to make it yourself) and Burger Rings
@@misstrystlast Christmas my siblings and I broke into an argument over what was more kiwi - burger rings or rashuns. We in our late forties and older. Our young folks who joined in part way through then raised what was up with hellers using those flavours 😂
And chicken Chips
Milk bottles are not good now. Milk shake Lollie's still good.
Here in the nz we like flavour over anything else
I must say I love seeing other people from around the world eating out New Zealand snacks 10/10 video
Kiwi here. Algorithm brought me here. I appreciate you are trying less known kiwi foods (others have mentioned the more common ones) so it's a bit different and a bit more interesting than others. Good work! 😊
I'm from New Zealand, the Raro actually is traditionally a mix with water only drink, add one of those packs to 1Ltr of water, shake up and drink 👌
@@venomnz6799 fvck ur dumb I fuvkin get 250mls then Pour half then eat the other half
By lemonade they mean sprite, not American style lemonade.
Or put some in your hand and lick it 😂
@@Awhi at my old school people would snort it
another Kiwi, my son used to take a pack with him skiing, and sprinkle in on a clean patch of fresh snow... scoop it up in a cup to freak everyone out... with the yellow snow...
Now you need to order the kiwi onion dip. It goes with most chips. You will absolutely love it.
Yup agreed
Can't go wrong with reduced cream+onion soup
Don't buy that pre made crap it disgusting.
Facts! Get you some kiwi onion dip my bro it’s amazing and I don’t really eat dip
Facts, my favorite dip.
Also I recommend buying Maggie onion soup sachet and a tin of reduced cream. Mix and chill. Then dip your chips and eat. You won’t want to share. Every kiwi party has it dates from about 1960
add the malt vinegar to that mix as well. yum yum boronies.
YESSS, ONION DIPP >:D
Add a dash of lemon juice, I used sour cream rather than reduced cream.
I am a New Zealander, my wife is Irish. When she came to N.Z. 45 years ago she fell in love with L and P. It is a very popular mixer with bourbon. In a bar you ask for a bourbon and Paeroa.
damn I've never tried that one, I'ma give it a try
B&P is great... easy way to finish a L of Jack
Wow, that brings back memories, I used to use it as a mixer with Southern comfort… a few decades ago 😂😊
Is her name amy
L&P is short for Lemon and Paeroa in the olden days the town of Paeroa has a carbonated water spring people started adding lemon to the water it got popular started selling it and then it got shorten to L&P
Also there's another drink thats very similar in Te Aroha, the next town over...
Lol olden days its called back in history
Lemon & Paeroa
Pronounced ... Pie-raw
Pronounced as Pie-row-a
Dude, there was a limited edition L&P white chocolate slab with popping candy that were fire. If they ever come out again or if I find some I'll send some to you.
It was so delicious 🤤 wish it was a standard line.
Maybe you should send him the white chocolate mango coconut one 😅
@@jarlairess I haven't tried that 1 yet.
I’m from New Zealand I’ve never seen those lollies
lol these aren't lollies it's just crap from new world
I'm from Aoetearoa too and I've seen and eaten all of these where you live in the country side 😂🤣 every kiwi knows these
Mite of been the black and white Annaseed? Lollies.
I assume they are sold in souvenir/tourist shops.
Hardout bro me from Aotearoa too and I've never tried feijoa lollies 🤔
Hey Kyle, i’m from New Zealand and I really enjoyed this video. It made me happy seeing someone enjoy our snacks! I enjoy jolly ranchers from the US or your Sour Patch, I haven’t tried too many other US snacks but I would love to
the other hard candy that looks like a kiwi is call a fee-joe-aa (feijoa), Its a winter fruit here in new zealand and its amazinggg!!!
Very much an acquired taste if you haven't been brought up on them I think. Sweet & sour and kind of grainy. I've given some to backpackers I've worked with over the years and it's about 50/50 love them or hate them.

Woooohooo!!! Trying our tasting snacks!!!! Love these kind of videos
Thanks cuz up da wahs supporting you ❤🤙🏻🤙🏻
Funny how you tried the LnP after the chocolate, we have an LnP flavoured white chocolate here.
AND it's from Whittakers.
*Had. I don't think they make it anymore unfortunately. Maybe I've just been missing it though.
Too funny when you tried the lemon, coconut, date balls! The corners of your mouth literally turned down into a frown. 😂
I just laughed my ass off because no one here even eats that shit either...bummed out he went bluebird s&v instead of like kettle or snackachangi lol
Feijoa jelly would be the way to go, so good on buttered toast. The clear jelly not the pulpy stuff, and if you don't like it just hide it in the fridge at work haha. Lemon coconut and dates sounds like a really odd mixture.

You need to try peanut slab chocolate
Dairy milk choc, pineapple lumps, and I agree peanut slabs yummmmmmmmmmmmm

That’s exactly how I was going to spell it 👍
correct
Kiwi dip will take the ready salted chip next level ,diip is made with onion soup powder and reduce cream
Bacon and onion soup powder,, reduced cream with crushed salted cashews and crushed garlic.... next next level
Add Chilli if you are thst way inclined... I tend to use a tablespoon of Culleys Creamy Carolina Reaper sauce

Lovely review Kyle - I have been in the US for 20 years and miss a lot of NZ snacks. Go to NZ - the pies, fish and chips and seafood are to die for.
My favourite snack from your pile would be the chocolate, mind you I wasn't in NZ when they released the flemmings new short bread bar. The RaRo sachets can be mixed with just water for a cool drink bro. Its pronounced RAR ROW. The fejoia Lollie you disliked is pronounced FE JOE A. I have a fruit tree with Fejoia,we love the authentic flavor of this fruit. We live in Australia now and love that we can still access lots of our faves here down under.
Shout out from New Zealand bro you had a nice large selection of our snacks! Awesome video
oh and the lemon and Paeroa drink is a fave with brandy. Pronounced Pie raw (Paeroa) It is a small town where it was invented.
Hey there I'm in NZ, firstly salt and vinegar chips are good or bad depending on how strong the taste is of vinegar and they come in chicken as well.

As for the raro kyle dont follow the instructions just throw the entire packet in a plastic bottle then fill ot with water then shake it up after u put top on then put it in fridge then drink when cold but its isnt essential at all you could just put the raro in a big jug serve it cold or after mixed so yeah us kiwos dont follow instructions on the raro at all
Not to mention, I had never heard of those directions in my life. Admittedly I haven’t bought Raro in years, but the only way I had ever known to drink it was to mix in water and chill as you said.
I guess they needed to up their sales pitch somewhere along the way.
I dont know how i stumbled upon this but im sure his catch phrase is "that taste gooooood"
Generally in NZ, biscuits are crisper and crunchy like those ones, and cookies are softer. If you want to try our cookies go for Cookie Time Cookies, I also suggest pineapple lumps, and peanut slab :-)
I'm a Kiwi and there are no Pineapple lumps, no Jaffas, no chocolate fish, no peanut slab, no Milky bar, no fanta. But I'm glad you got the Whittakers.
Mix 1 sachet of the Raro in 1 litre of water... I think its kind of like your cool-aid.
I've never seen those lollies either, the ready salted chips put them in a sandwich with 2 slices of bread is the best, and order the reduced cream and onion dip and combine them both to make a dip, then eat them with the green onion chips. That's to die for, cameo creams are my favs with the chocolate chippies my second, then Shrewsbury biscuits.
Forgot the pineapple lumps and kiwi onion dip
Good night from New Zealand 🇳🇿
I'm also a kiwi (New Zealander) L&P is the best and it's also good with bourbon. Green onion chips are great with dip. Here people make Maggi french onion soup mix into dip for chips. Whittakers blonde is definitely great chocolate.
Also you also gotta try blue bird burger rings and blue bird rashuns and popa jacks youll love them. Had these as a kid growing up when going to primary school or as u like to call it elementary school
Nah don't try them! Recipe and the shape has changed so much, they look and taste nothing like the OG ones unfortunately!
and twisties....
kJ is kilojoules. 1117 kJ is equal to 266 Calories. Raro is basically cool-aid from my understanding.
No raro changed much like all these foods Kyle eating in my view when I grew up in the late 1970s it didn't taste like it did today back in the days all of these foods were made with real fruits and ingredients lots changed since then it's more expensive for real ingredients in the 90s food here in Aoetearoa changed alot of the real ingredients were either delisted from our food chains because of health concerns or it was just to expensive to get the real materials in so they did what most countries do and replaced the real ingredients with bs azz Fake ingredients even I noticed in the early 90s foods that are processed started to taste strange and or unknown to kids born in the old days upto the early 90s
Also Kool aid was banned here in Aoetearoa aka new Zealand many yrs ago so idk where you get ya Kool aid assumption we have laws here that prevents stuff that kills u all everyday in America from killing us all I know for sure is America processed food has outlawed ingredients that will never ever make it to these shores ever so get that cool aid assumption out of ya mind man because ya wrong wrong and wrong raro was originally a Pacific island made drink eventually raro made it here to my shores
Hi, I'm from New Zealand, and that drink raro what you do get a ltr jug of water put one pkt in stir well and drink what they are suggesting is another sort of drink you can make with it.
Whittaker medium dark for me, (they have a wide range of dark chocolate). L&P of course and Cookie Time too. The soft pineapple lumps and Griffin's Gingernuts, (dunked in hot tea.)
Chip sandwiches with lettuce and marmite...yummmm
pronounced fee-jo-a, if you aren't used to the fruit you probably wont like them, personally love them. also as you call them fiber bars we call the muesli bars. the raro, just use water, the drink on the back is called a "spider" its not the actual drink
Raro sachet just add to 1ltr water, mix it up , cool in your fridge, pour over ice in a glass and enjoy ❤ you should get the Whittaker peanut slab if you like peanuts. I don't know about those lemon drops, I don't remember those as a kiwi favorite but ic you like gum, try Wrigley's juicy fruit and to pronounce the Paeroa on the drink it would sound like, Lemon & Pie roarrrrrr like a lions roar. I would love to try some of American sweets n snacks, what is your fellas favorites. ❤❤❤
The RARO is just a flavoured water drink. The lemonade and ice cream is just an option. Paeroa is Pronounces (PIE RO A) It's a small town in the Waikato in the North Island, Waikato is pronounced (Why cat O) Great video.
I ❤ belgian biscuits...out of this world!
Seems the algorithm has thrown this video New Zealands way😂 as others have suggested Raro with 0.26 gal of water (1 litre). Paeroa is pronounced pie-roe-ah. Not everyone like Feijoa or passionfruit! Glad you liked most of our treats. There are plenty more recommendations in the comments from fellow kiwis.
Kiwi here... or New Zealand local. L&P is Lemon and Paeroa ... Pronounced pie raw a. Feijoa pronounced as Fee joe a. The raro you can mix with water, tgats how most of us would do it. 1 packet of raro to 1 litre of water. Also the L&P is much nicer cold 😊
btw lemonade over here is different to over in USA it kinda like your sprite it's like sweet flavorless soda basically so you could have that raro with sugar and water or anything
belgian biscuits are my favorite bro glad to see you enjoy them too
Arnotts are another good biscuit company. Try their Tim Tams, Mint Slices , or Farmbake Cookies.
Griffins Gingernuts are great for dunking in a hot drink. They go well with tea or hot chocolate, not sure about with coffee.
Copper Kettle chips are better than Bluebird.
You also need Pineapple Lumps and Machintosh Toffees.
Heard's Barley Sugar is nice - the sort of thing my grandma would stock in her pantry as a treat, along with Oddfellow peppermints.
Good video but as a Kiwi I have to say peanut slab, Cookie Time and Ginger nuts needed to be present.
Hello Mr man from the USA. White chocolate is a favourite of mine. All the other products are great favourites here in New Zealand. Thanks for tasting a small sample of our products. You should try our chocolate biscuits and popcorn, why not give them a go next time. 🇳🇿👍😊
You can mix the Raro with water, you dont have to add lemonade etc! Some of the stuff you’ve tried I’ve never even heard of and I’ve lived in NZ for so many years! Get someone to pack you some of the actual NZ favourites lol
Heart warming video glad you tried our snacks 🇳🇿
Also I have never mixed Raro with lemonade. You mix with water. Most Kiwi kids(like me) grew up on it. Maybe it's changed, been years since I drank it.
The raro is a drink that you mix with water. The biscuits are just basic nothing to rave about. In fact the biscuits are not even made in nz anymore. The lemon roll things I’ve never seen. The chocolate is the best and the lollies I’ve seen in tourist spots but really unpleasant to taste. You call the fruit Kiwi we call ourselves a kiwi and the fruit kiwi fruit. Fijoa is an acquired taste and a little like Guava fruit from South America but the lollie tastes like petroleum. Many commenters have made some excellent suggestions if you were to try this again. From an old Kiwi😊
Also we dunk all our biscuits in hot coffee, tea or milo. Or just straight up cold milk
You just mix the Raro with water, it's a juice sachet. The other recipe must have been some sort of desert recipe (which sounds gross) but it isn't actually the main way of making it. Standard is you just mix it with 1litre of water (or slightly less if you like it sweeter) - those candies I've never seen in my life
as a new zealander this vid is great
sour cream and chives thin cuts are my favourite chips, i actually teared up a little
love the vids man i live in nz too and you got the best stuff
I’m late to this video but thanks for making this video? I’m a kiwi and found your reactions super sweet 😭
For the cookies, you can microwave them to make them softer, and for the raro, dont bother with the instructions, just add to water (or sometimws we just snort it)
In NZ we just put the RARO into cold/chilled water, hardly ever into lemonade. Sometimes we'll put it into soda water (sparkling water). As kids we would lick our finger and dunk it into the RARO packet and then lick the powder off our fingers.
you absolutely need to try pineapple lumps,chocolate fish,peanut slabs and kiwi fruit
Toast a slice of Vogels then stand it on its edge to cool. Add a favorite topping and munch that sucker down!
I want to try some of that stuff next time I’m in town!!!
You got yourself a deal!
I agree with you. Hokey pokey biscuits or bars, pineapple lumps things like that. I have never seen those lollies he didn't like. Maybe it's touristy items you pay heaps for at main centre resorts, eg Rotorua. Queenstown etc.
raro is a juice, like cool aid, u put the flavour into a bottle and then add 1 litre of watrer and yummy yum yum
New Zealander here, you definently got a few good things, but honestly this wasn't the best haul u could have gotten.
You missed the Tim tams, the cookie times, the bumper bars. And the heartland chips they are the best cookies and chips u can get for sure!
Also, next time get the oinion soup sashet and reduced cream can to make an instant dip and try the Whitakers milk chocolate too! ❤
The L&P drink is made in the town of Paeroa. Pronounced pie-row-ah.
bluebirds sour cream and chives thinly cut is the best form of chips imo
Greetings from NZ! quick tip get yourself a water mellon cut the top off sprinkle a thin layer of the RARO into the mellon, scoop and eat rinse and repeat! Enjoy!
Oh you got the Vogel's! Toasted with spread and a thin layer of Marmite and a slice of tomato and pepper, yum. PLease try making teh kiwi onion dip - it's amazing and a staple here (chill it for a little while). Points for leaing the Whittakers and L&P til last to go together! They're a great combo. Paeroa is a place in NZ (pronounced pie-rower). They used to put Paeroa spring water in L&P til the plant closed down 40yrs ago. Now it's made at the Coke factory in Auckland NZ, still with spring water, just not Paeroa water.
Hello from NZ, just come across your video,. Feijoas, (fe-jo-as) we grew heaps of bushes in Napier, My family loved them, I cant stand them, cant get past the scent of them, its like perfume. If you like savoury biscuits, Huntley & Palmers Sesameal Crackers with 5 grains are yum, with cheese, Avo, tomato, or just about anything.on top.
Paeroa is pronounced pay-row-ahh. Feijoa is pronounced fee-Joe-ahh. The lollies are really for tourists…no one else eats them. Pineapple lumps are kiwi lollies and super addictive.
Whitaker does peanut blocks hmmm yum and almond all delicious
Love the review mate, awesome work! For those Raro packets, you need to mix one packet with a liter of cold water. Stir until dissolved, then drink it with ice - beautiful!!!! ✊🔥🔥🔥
Paeroa is pronounced Pie-row-a (well the way that is easier for other countries to pronouce) and feijoa is pronounced fe-joe-a its very loved over here in nz
New Zealand chocolates the best in the world l reckon. I been to Switzerland land of the best chocolates but too rich for me can only eat small bites at a time as to eating a half of a large bar of any flavour of NZ chocolates in minutes. I am so thrilled watching your video especially because you favoured almost all of them. The Raro item l was surprised but quite excited to see it on the table there. Raro is short for Rarotonga the biggest & capital of the Cook Island where the product originated from. I am from there & now living in Australia. You are right thinking it’s a drink because that’s how it all started also comes in cans. Well the canning factory in Raro closed decades ago but it appears the brand lives on. I don’t drink fizzy drinks but would only buy Raro or Vita fresh sachet drinks, brought my kids up on that & fizzy drinks only as a treat. I have watched a few other channels trying out NZ snacks & like you they loved all of them. I’m proud oh incidentally we Cook Islanders are also New Zealanders we carry NZ passports grew up on NZ imported food products. It took me a while to get used to Australian butter & of course chocolates well been here 34yrs lol & loves it. Thank you for your channel my 1st time watching it.
I've never seen anyone buy those coconut balls lol. 🥝 is kiwifruit, and a kiwi is a bird native to the country. Paeroa is pronounced as pae (pie) and with a rolling r is roa. My bro if you going to buy more nz food ill make a list.
Please make that list! Lol I like kiwi the fruit and the snacks, what I was talking about is Feijoa, it wasn’t very good! Thank you for your help and please again make that list! I’ll try and make it happen(shipping is expensive lol)
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 it's a small fruit that grows on a tree. Best way to eat them is straight of the tree. They are good to eat
Looking back at it the candy may have been the worst way to try that fruit! Stay tuned I’m going to attempt…..ATTEMPT! to make a pavlova here soon.
Try get these items
Just juice bubbles tropical.
Pineapple lumps.
Twisties,rashens and burger rings. Chips, i don't know if you would like them but never know.
Cookie time cookies. Heat for 10-15 seconds trust me on that.
Puhoi chocolate milk or Whittakers chocolate milk.
Steak and cheese pies. Meat pies soo good
Pavlova, make sure you get whipped cream, kiwifruit,strawberries and chocolate flakes from your local.
Nestle reduced cream and Maggie onion soup mix in bowl and leave in fridge for 1hour and eat with those bluebird onion chips.
Got it, I will see what I can get! Thanks for the suggestions!
Lemon and Paeroa which sounds like pie-row-a. Maori name from the town of the same name. Name means " Long Ridge "
Next time you need to get Eta Munchos (Cheese & Onion), Burger Rings, and Rashuns.
Also, Arnott's Kingstons (my favourite biscuit/cookie), and Cadbury Mallowpuffs.
Good start, but mainly a cut below the best. Heartland chips & most Whittakers are supeiror. But you did well
Problem all those Griffins iced biscuits are not as they used to be when made in Lower Hutt NZ.
Now they made in Thailand ☹️☹️
Bluebird chips are owned by PepsiCo, who also happen to own Lays chips. Copper kettle chips are also owned by Bluebird. You'll find the same people own your brands that own ours, at least that's my guess.
Bro im from nz wheres the bluebird chicken chips bro your missing out
The raro u mix it with water its like cool aid but u dont add sugar , that thing u read at the back of the packet was just a dessert u could make with it lol
Griffins biscuits aren't a patch on what they used to be. Baker Boys make the best biscuits and slices.
The raro is supposed to be with water. One of those packets to 1-2 litres of water depending how strong you want it. The recipe with lemonade must be some special extra one to try.
