Hi Alex and Kate! Just wanted to say that those crisps from Hawaii might only be produced in Washington bc they don't want to destroy their beautiful state with a crisp factory:) love from Germany
Hey, ‘dunker’ here 😁 wanna know how to stop the crumbs at the bottom of a tea (which no one likes). Dip half the biscuit and eat the dunked half, TURN the biscuit around and dunk the other half, but be careful not to fully dunk the other half otherwise you’ll have the original problem of crumbs at the bottom of your tea. Give it ago! 😁♥️ from 🇦🇺
Im impressed! not only by your presentation but the fact that you actually remember every thing you try, from brands, to textures, to flavor combinations, to style. you try so many things in every video and you can actually remember most of the times from what country the snack you tried that this reminds you of comes from! that's talent! and shows how much you truly care and how seriously you take whatever your audience sends you. I really wanted to send you something but my Israeli friends really gave you a great representation of israeli snacks!
Hawaii is so awesome! I love the people. They are so friendly and kind. I didnt think i would like Hawaii, so funny how wrong i was. Arts and crafts there are so beautiful and a part of the culture, i think you would love it Kate.
Hawaiians a sooooo generous and their culture is absolutely incredible. I never left the island without my clients giving me so many gifts, hosting lunches and being generally wonderful. Big hugs and aloha to all the Hawaiians here!
Hawaii has a very large Japanese-American population. There is a huge influence on Hawaiian culture from Japanese and favorite dishes in Hawaii are usually a mix of Hawaiian and Japanese.
I'm lucky enough to live on Maui. Hilo is on the Big Island. Pronounced He Low. Kona is on the west side of the Big Island. The active volcano is on the south side. Favorit juice here is POG - Passion Fruit-Orange-Guava. The old fashion round bottle caps were the basis of the POG game of the 90's.
I flew to Hawaii, with my parents, and we took a Norwegian cruise around some of the islands. I do not remember much, even though I think I was in high school at the time, but I do remember loving the views and the history (my family visited the Pearl Harbor museum and it was so cool getting to see pieces of what I learned about in history classes in school).
I never can watch an entire tasting video from you guys in one go. I watch it in compartments especially when I'm eating or I'm resting. Looking at food from different parts of the world is really a great experience. I'm always happy to know more about a country through their food.
I was born and raised in Hawaii!!! Every snack I've tried. Some are an acquired taste and not ment for everyone. The sweet Maui onion chips are my favorite!!!
I live in Hawaii too, it’s so funny to hear someone who doesn’t live here talk about it 🤣 It’s so funny because we see a lot of these snacks when you go grocery shopping at Foodland. 🤓
@@happymommaa No need to bring them home with me cuz i know they will be there when I go lol. I need some manapua in my life though. I miss so many snacks
My wife and I went to Maui for our honeymoon and spent a week there. Loved stopping at different places along the island as Maui has very distinct areas. We visited a winery there that makes pineapple wine from their pineapple crop they grow on site, it was awesome!
I’ve been waiting for Hawaii!! Family born and raised in Hawaii. But now we live in California! We get care packages every few months from family with all our favorites. Li hing dried apples are my favorite. I’m so happy you liked li hing mui!!
Haven't been there but attended a conference that had administrative professionals from all over the globe and my Hawaiian sisters gifted me with real leis and the flowers were amazing and fragrant. I managed to preserve them all the way home and then dried them as a keepsake. Best gift ever. They even gifted us all with a great hula dance. Simply beautiful.
Much of the Islands hotels and such are owned by the Japanese. In fact in Japan Vacation time often includes a trip there paid for in one of that companies holdings. When I was there with my kids they left Honolulu bowing to people as riding the elevator it was done every time. One of the great things about the state is its very multi cultural. So lots of Asian snacks and flavors.
I never go a night without watching you guys! Your videos are so uplifting and fun to watch. I think I must of rewatched all your taste test videos about 10 times each if not more haha 🥰
I've been to Hawaii twice - once to the Big Island and the second time to Honolulu. It is as beautiful as you are imagining! And the Food is amazing and the people are also so wonderful!
You had me Kate when you actually hugged the pineapple gummy candy! I guess it was like "yum" at first sight! It really is so refreshing to listen to all the positive affirmations When I generally spend my days watching CNN news and all the seriously depressing and frightening news so again i thank you for creating so much positive content and giving me a much needed dose Of sweetness to this deprived diabetic!! I live vicariously watching you enjoy the sweets! I heard either Bob or Penney barking in the background at some point!! Miss those cute doggos c u guys Sunday for WTF!
Haha it really was yum at first sight 🤣 the news can really get you don’t atm can’t it! We all just need a bit more positivity in our lives 💕 It’s so nice to hear you can live vicariously through usb haha yes you did. I think it was both of them 🤣 🐾 see you on Sunday! 🥰
There is a big Japanese influence in Hawaii - yes, primarily because of the location. I've been to Hawaii twice - once on my honeymoon (Kauai) and once with family to renew our vows (Big Island and Oahu). We are going to Oahu in June for our 25th anniversary. If is wasn't so pricey, I would live there in a heartbeat - it is absolutely beautiful and relaxing.
I live in Hawaii, it’s so funny to hear someone who doesn’t live here talk about it 🤣 It’s so funny because we see a lot of these snacks when you go grocery shopping at Foodland. 🤓
Hawaii is absolutely amazing. Never too hot or too cold, when it rains it never lasts long enough to spoil any plans. The only downfall is that for me it is a 13 or more hour flight with several plane changes. I'd go back in a heart beat except for the flight.
I have been to Hawaii, a number of times, my parents loved it. Only time I ever flew first class was to Hawaii in 1972. Boy was I shocked at what flight really is as an adult. LOL. Kauai is my favorite Island. Been there 3 times never saw it rain during the day but did rain almost every night and it was SOOOO green. Called the Garden Isle for a reason I suppose. There was an amazing little hole in the wall called the Koloa Cafe best breakfast I have ever had. Also best luau I have ever been to at the Fern Grotto. The state is magical.
I have been fortunate enough to have holidaied in Hawaii 6 times. Being from Western Canada, it was the place to go in winter. Eastern Canadians tend to go to Florida. It is more beautiful than you can imagine. My husband and I were there when the Japanese tsunami hit and there were warnings that it would hit Hawaii, so it was a scary experience. If you ever have the opportunity to go to Hawaii, go. You will have the experience of a lifetime.
I’ve been to Hawaii four times, once with my family when I was a teenager and three times with my husband. We went on our 19th Anniversary and stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, then my husband surprised me and took me to Hawaii the following year for our 20th Anniversary, late September, to Oahu, (where Honolulu is), then flew to Kauai a few days later and to Maui for our 25th Anniversary, stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in Maui...my hubby told the lady at check in it was our anniversary and she upgraded to a Suite! It was amazing and rented a car to drive around the island, saw and did as much as we could, and ate really good food and shopped! Lol... the only thing about September in Hawaii, it’s much more humid and hot. But we went swimming in the ocean, laid by the pool, had dinner at these restaurants with gorgeous views and took a lot of awesome pictures. There’s a store called ABC store, has a lot of Hawaiian souvenirs, snacks, candies, and beverages, and there’s ABC stores in Vegas too. So if you can’t go to Hawaii, check out the ABC stores in Vegas, you can still get those Hawaiian snacks and gifts. My mom lives in an Asian community in the Los Angeles area, there’s also a lot of Japanese and Hawaiian influences there also. When I visit my mom, I know where to get authentic Japanese and Hawaiian food and sweets, and chips. Plus there’s a Japan Town near the L.A. downtown area I visit when I can... Also, I visit Olvera Street, everything Mexican! Lol... I don’t live in the L.A. area for several years now but I know all the different ethnic communities around the L.A. county. I’m hungry, I think I’ll make myself a cheesy Quesadilla! Lol 😂. Btw, the Hawaiian chips, I have that in my food pantry! They’re so hot but so addicting, so are the Sweet Maui Onion, my two favorites!! 😁💖
I lived there for 6 years and both my kids were born there. It really is as beautiful as it looks and the people are so laid back and no one is in a rush like in the continental US. I miss it and definitely plan on going back for a visit. I could live there again for sure.
Hawaii is one of those places you either love or can't wait to leave. My sister and I both went to Hawai'I Pacific University on Oahu, I was there 1 year and I am disabled so it was gorgeous but I couldn't do the things I wanted but my sister was there 4 years and had a blast.
When I saw the title of this video I clicked on it right away I was so excited! I was lucky to have been born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Maui to be exact. I live in Las Vegas now but will always consider Hawaii my first home. It really is as beautiful and amazing there as everyone says it is and the people are so friendly. If you ever get the chance to visit I hope you get a chance to visit Maui. It is incredibly beautiful there, the beaches are amazing and there’s so many things to explore there. I would recommend the road to Hana. It’s incredible. I’m so excited that you guys are trying snacks and candies from Hawaii because they truly are unique and representative of the culture. Mochi crunch is one of my favorites and it tastes absolutely amazing with popcorn. It’s a game changer for sure! So glad you guys did this video!
Yaaay! Oh wow. That is so so cool you were born and raised on the island of Maui 😱😱😱 I really hope I do get chance to visit one day! We were in love with literally everything in this box. It was all so delicious 😋😍 thank you Kayla!
We’ve been to Hawaii and it truly is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. We visited Oahu and Maui. Driving into Maui from the airport we had the mountains on one side of the highway and crystal blue ocean on the other. Amazing and highly recommend trying to go at least once. Lots of pineapple and macadamia nuts everywhere, but Hula pie was the best thing I had there. Several restaurants had their own version. A must try if you ever go.
Haiku, Maui about 15 times over the past decade, luckily. My mother's side of the family is from there and owns a sailing charter and school. I'd love to relocate, though a life in Hawaii is quite an expensive step up from my current life in Chicago. 😁
Wow...awesome box!! Honolulu shortbread are absolutely delicious...the ones with the dried fruit in them are my favorite. We get most of these items here on Guam...I really love hawaiian snacks. I love the new segment of the video(about beer)💯Kona brew are a couple of my favorite beers as well Alex...my top one though is from the Philippines, it's called San Miguel pale pilsen...it's a pale lager beer...if you see it try it out. Outstanding video again guys...as always!!
So awesome you get most of those in Guam!! Haha he will need to actually drink some beer next time he does that segment 😂 not sure if he’s tried that!! Will let Alex know 😀thank you so much Tam!!
I have been to Hawaii. It’s absolutely amazing. I went to the Polynesian cultural center and it was so much fun and interactive, and so informative to learn about all the different customs of the islands of Polynesia. The only drawback is the humidity. But it’s 100 percent worth visiting and I would love to go back
I've never been to Hawaii, but I have family who went and brought us back some treats. This was a number of years ago, so I don't remember the brand or anything, but we had macadamia nuts and chocolate covered macadamia nuts, as well as a whole fresh pineapple
I lived in Hawaii for 3yrs as a child in the late 60's when my dad was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base on Oahu. I loved it, most of the kids went to school barefooted. We had dozens of fruit(mango, banana, papya, coconut, lychee, starfruit,guava)& flower (plumaria,hibiscus) trees & bushes in our yard. My dad & our neighbors all loved the Hawaiian beer called Primo Beer. I loved living there and there is alot of Asian people from Japan mostly that live there also along with the fantastic Asian food. I loved the( Li -he-moy seeds) or sour plums that are salted & dried, that I chewed on until it got soft then it's sweeter & softer. & the squid jerky my mom thought I was eating something rotten because of the smell but it tasted good. Then got to live on Kadena Air Force Base on Okinawa Japan as an adult (for 4yrs) which is called the Hawaii of Japan because it's a tropical island also. I don't drink very often but when I did I loved the longboard version of the kona beer because it has passion fruit in it they have a variety sampler case u can buy or order.
WOW..........treats from my honeymoon destination!!! Smashing vlog as usual Kate & Alex, love the list of boxes you have, top of my Christmas list this year, hopefully get 2, hee-hee. hugs
You guys are the best! I’m from Hawai’i born and raise, and love hearing your reviews on our snacks. Hope you guys made it to the islands. Mahalo nui loa and e mālama pono. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Yes, the Hawaiian crisps are made by Tim's Cascade snacks in WA state (Cascades being a mountain range in the region). There are also a lot of Japanese immigrants in Hawai'i, so you'll often see some very Japanese snacks there.
Great video some very interesting flavors. I’m a sometimes dunker I will dunk a spice or hard cookie but not a soft cookie I don’t enjoy crumbs in the bottom of my tea... have a sede week💕🦋
Very interesting flavours in this box. So nice to try for the first time 😍 yeah the crumbs at the bottom of tea is horrible 🤢 have a safe week too Donna 💕
I have been to all of the Hawaiian islands. Maui is the most beautiful and relaxing island out of all the other islands. The surfing there is great 🏄♀️ the snorkeling is two thumbs up.
My Father grew up in Northern Maine on the Canadian border. His retirement wish was to go to Hawaii, the complete opposite side of USA, which he did. His favorite thing was he took a helicopter ride into an active volcano. I had no idea Hawaii had so many volcanoes much less that you could fly inside one! He got a videotape of the excursion which someday I want to get put into digital media so my daughters can see it! He brought me back some lovely jewelry made from quartz and shells!
Yay finally Hawaii! Nice selection, pretty good mix of touristy things and local favorites. My favorite is the li hing version of the hurricane popcorn but it’s even better when you get it fresh from kiosks or candy stores. I think Big Island Candies and The Cookie Corner are far superior to the Honolulu Cookie Co, personally I think they’re a bit overrated lol. I’d really love to see you folks try some of the odder selections from crack seed stores like lemon peel, olive cakes, prune mui, etc and you should definitely try to make goodie goodie/guri guri and butter mochi! They’re both super easy and yummy!
I went to Hawaii (Oahu) 2 years ago and it absolutely blew my mind!!! I had high expectations but it was so much more amazing than I could have imagined!! Its soooooo amazingly lush and green with tropical plants eeeeverywhere!! The air is phenomenal, it smells so fresh and floral! (Plumeria apparently?) But I thought it was amazing and I want to go back so bad. Also the people there were so wonderful and friendly :)
Enjoyed watching this! Everything looks delicious. My brother-in-law and sister went once with his family to Hawaii and then they went again with their 3 year old son. I sometimes dunk stuff in my coffee.
I love hearing The Hawaiian language being spoken and I must also say I love the macadamia nuts and the fresh pineapple. I never had the chance to try much candy and now I wish I had because it’s way too expensive to order it and have it shipped to another part of the US. Maybe someday I will get to go back there and visit.
Diamond Bakery in Honolulu has an online store and they have some sweet snacks I think you would love. Their Guava and Lilikoi Biscuits are so flavorful.
I have been to Hawaii about 10 times it is only a 10 hour flight from Australia my first trip will be Hawaii when the borders open. I love Hawaii lots to do and you can just relax if you want to.
Now we have another reason that we need to visit Hawaii aside from the beautiful sights and weather....all of their delicious candy! Loved the video guys!
That box looked really good. I like snacks that have "natural" elements to them like seaweed and macadamia nuts instead of just eating sugar and food coloring. As always, a really enjoyable video. Have a good one. Later.
Funny Wasabi story - My mother in law tried sushi for the first time on a cruise and didn't know what wasabi was; she thought it was guacamole! She took a huge spoonful and popped it into her mouth. She thought she was going to stop breathing! We laugh about it all the time! PS.... Never been to Hawaii, but I love Kona coffee from Hawaii! You need to try it if you even go there :)
Hahahaha 😂😂😂 poor her! That must have been awful. At least she can laugh about it now with you all! we literally have a story like that with our dad trying it for the first time. 🤣 very powerful especially when you have too much!
My husband and I just came back this week from Hawaii! It is absolutely beautiful thats for sure. The sweet Maui onion is great, i was surprised from it. This time of year (covid) made things difficult but it was very understandable. We went to Maui and Kauai. Maui had a lot to offer with touristy things to do and natural things. Kauai is very naturally beautiful with stunning snorkeling beaches. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful in both! We have decided to go back when its fully open again, hopefully luau will be open .... dang this Covid! So much food we tried, even things I didn't think I'd like .... its all great and I can't wait to go back again!
Las Vegas has become home to many Hawaiian residents. It's dubbed the 9th Island. You will find many of these Hawaiian snacks and a couple locations of the Honolulu Cookie Company there. Also some amazing Hawaiian food in Las Vegas
FYI...@8:0...Since >1920s, people from China, Japan, Philippines & Portugal immigrated to Hawaii to work sugar cane & pineapple fields. In doing so, they also brought their cuisine & traditions. After WW2, immigrants from Puerto Rico, Korea & Vietnam, among others, all contributed to local Hawaiian culture. P.S...1st time viewer
It was a really great and tasty sounding video. I think I would like almost everything in that box. I have never been to Hawaii but maybe someday You said something about trying something in a video 10 years ago, and I didn't realize you guys have been around that long online, I thought you are only in your mid-twenties if that.. you both look so young.
Hi Guys-two things-if I can suggest trying the guava jam over cream cheese on a cracker! That would be awesome. Secondly, the Japanese Matcha Kit Kat’s-so yummy. They are my favorite. My nephew and his wife gave a small parcel or Japanese candies as wedding favors and I have been obsessed with those Kit Kat’s since❤️❤️.
What’s great in Las Vegas they have a store called ABC where you can buy aloof these treats. Also Neimans Marcus carries them.They are not overpriced and very good.
Alex and I are on the same page when it comes to wasabi, I love the heat better than pepper heat! The hawaiian chips are produced by the Tims brand here in washington. I've loved the sweet onion for years! I've had the hurricane popcorn mix with fresh popped popcorn and it's amazing with the warmth and freshness! Oh I also love Long Board beer. A few summers back it was my go to beverage! I lived across from a specialty beer store and definitely indulged lol
Ahh we wondered that!! Thanks for letting us know 🥰 woah having that popcorn warm must have been amazing 😍 That’s pretty cool you lived near a specialty beer store. Haha yeah Alex would have if he lived near one too 😆
Hawaii is indeed as beautiful as you think. Can't wait to get back there again. By the way, my favorite snack in Hawaii is Li Hing Mui strawberry belts. Hope they included some in there.
Macadamia nuts are my favorite type of nuts from Hawaii. Have been there twice. Very expensive place to visit, but beautiful expansive scenery and a wonderful melting pot of cultures!😊🤗
Yes, it’s as amazing as it looks. You have to go. I have been several times to most of the islands and there is so much diversity that you see some new plant or animal everywhere you look. And, when you step off the plane...the warm trade winds, floral aromas and bird sounds hit you straight in all your senses. Wowza...and the colors and rainbows. And the water....Yeah, it’s spectacular. 🌈☀️🌊 PS- Honolulu Cookie Co. is THE BEST. My friend always gifts them to me and I have to hide them from other family members because they don’t last long. They are delicious. Also...as others have mentioned, huge Asian and Japanese influence in Hawaii, as you can probably tell from the food selection they sent.
Big thank you to Karie and Masina for this amazing box from Hawaii!! 💗
Hi Alex and Kate! Just wanted to say that those crisps from Hawaii might only be produced in Washington bc they don't want to destroy their beautiful state with a crisp factory:) love from Germany
P
One of the islands of Hawaii is known as the wettest place in the world.
Hawaii is also the only American cocoa plantation too.

Jealous, my favorite vacation
Maui is so beautiful! You are very lucky to live there. I also loved the Big Island. It’s really cool seeing the lava flow and black sand beaches.
I flew to Hawaii, with my parents, and we took a Norwegian cruise around some of the islands. I do not remember much, even though I think I was in high school at the time, but I do remember loving the views and the history (my family visited the Pearl Harbor museum and it was so cool getting to see pieces of what I learned about in history classes in school).

They’re so hot but so addicting, so are the Sweet Maui Onion, my two favorites!! 😁💖
I lived there for 6 years and both my kids were born there. It really is as beautiful as it looks and the people are so laid back and no one is in a rush like in the continental US. I miss it and definitely plan on going back for a visit. I could live there again for sure.
Hawaii is one of those places you either love or can't wait to leave. My sister and I both went to Hawai'I Pacific University on Oahu, I was there 1 year and I am disabled so it was gorgeous but I couldn't do the things I wanted but my sister was there 4 years and had a blast.
When I saw the title of this video I clicked on it right away I was so excited! I was lucky to have been born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Maui to be exact. I live in Las Vegas now but will always consider Hawaii my first home.
It really is as beautiful and amazing there as everyone says it is and the people are so friendly.
If you ever get the chance to visit I hope you get a chance to visit Maui. It is incredibly beautiful there, the beaches are amazing and there’s so many things to explore there. I would recommend the road to Hana. It’s incredible.
I’m so excited that you guys are trying snacks and candies from Hawaii because they truly are unique and representative of the culture. Mochi crunch is one of my favorites and it tastes absolutely amazing with popcorn. It’s a game changer for sure!
So glad you guys did this video!
Yaaay! Oh wow. That is so so cool you were born and raised on the island of Maui 😱😱😱 I really hope I do get chance to visit one day! We were in love with literally everything in this box. It was all so delicious 😋😍 thank you Kayla!
We’ve been to Hawaii and it truly is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. We visited Oahu and Maui. Driving into Maui from the airport we had the mountains on one side of the highway and crystal blue ocean on the other. Amazing and highly recommend trying to go at least once. Lots of pineapple and macadamia nuts everywhere, but Hula pie was the best thing I had there. Several restaurants had their own version. A must try if you ever go.
WOW!!! You’ve really sold it to me. I hope I can go one day!
@@ThisWithThem I hope you do and I hope I get to go back. Haha! 😊
Haiku, Maui about 15 times over the past decade, luckily. My mother's side of the family is from there and owns a sailing charter and school. I'd love to relocate, though a life in Hawaii is quite an expensive step up from my current life in Chicago. 😁
Wow you’re so lucky!! Yeah I hear it’s pretty expensive 😆
Wow...awesome box!! Honolulu shortbread are absolutely delicious...the ones with the dried fruit in them are my favorite. We get most of these items here on Guam...I really love hawaiian snacks. I love the new segment of the video(about beer)💯Kona brew are a couple of my favorite beers as well Alex...my top one though is from the Philippines, it's called San Miguel pale pilsen...it's a pale lager beer...if you see it try it out. Outstanding video again guys...as always!!
So awesome you get most of those in Guam!! Haha he will need to actually drink some beer next time he does that segment 😂 not sure if he’s tried that!! Will let Alex know 😀thank you so much Tam!!
I have been to Hawaii. It’s absolutely amazing. I went to the Polynesian cultural center and it was so much fun and interactive, and so informative to learn about all the different customs of the islands of Polynesia. The only drawback is the humidity. But it’s 100 percent worth visiting and I would love to go back
I've never been to Hawaii, but I have family who went and brought us back some treats. This was a number of years ago, so I don't remember the brand or anything, but we had macadamia nuts and chocolate covered macadamia nuts, as well as a whole fresh pineapple
Mmm yum!!!!
I lived in Hawaii for 3yrs as a child in the late 60's when my dad was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base on Oahu. I loved it, most of the kids went to school barefooted. We had dozens of fruit(mango, banana, papya, coconut, lychee, starfruit,guava)& flower (plumaria,hibiscus) trees & bushes in our yard. My dad & our neighbors all loved the Hawaiian beer called Primo Beer. I loved living there and there is alot of Asian people from Japan mostly that live there also along with the fantastic Asian food. I loved the( Li -he-moy seeds) or sour plums that are salted & dried, that I chewed on until it got soft then it's sweeter & softer. & the squid jerky my mom thought I was eating something rotten because of the smell but it tasted good. Then got to live on Kadena Air Force Base on Okinawa Japan as an adult (for 4yrs) which is called the Hawaii of Japan because it's a tropical island also.
I don't drink very often but when I did I loved the longboard version of the kona beer because it has passion fruit in it they have a variety sampler case u can buy or order.
WOW..........treats from my honeymoon destination!!! Smashing vlog as usual Kate & Alex, love the list of boxes you have, top of my Christmas list this year, hopefully get 2, hee-hee. hugs
Oh wow. What an amazing place for your honeymoon 😍😍😍 thank you Tanni! Ah thank you so much! 🥰
You guys are the best! I’m from Hawai’i born and raise, and love hearing your reviews on our snacks. Hope you guys made it to the islands. Mahalo nui loa and e mālama pono.
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Watching you guys enjoy the snacks made me so happy. I love your vibes! And yes Hawaii is that beautiful and much much more in person.
Yes, the Hawaiian crisps are made by Tim's Cascade snacks in WA state (Cascades being a mountain range in the region). There are also a lot of Japanese immigrants in Hawai'i, so you'll often see some very Japanese snacks there.
Great video some very interesting flavors. I’m a sometimes dunker I will dunk a spice or hard cookie but not a soft cookie I don’t enjoy crumbs in the bottom of my tea... have a sede week💕🦋
Very interesting flavours in this box. So nice to try for the first time 😍 yeah the crumbs at the bottom of tea is horrible 🤢 have a safe week too Donna 💕
I have been to all of the Hawaiian islands. Maui is the most beautiful and relaxing island out of all the other islands.
The surfing there is great 🏄♀️ the snorkeling is two thumbs up.
Hawaii is amazing!!!! So much better in person than on screen or in pictures.
I went to Hawai'i right before coronavirus was a problem. I loved it and can't wait to go back some day!
Amazing and so lucky you managed to get a trip in before rona took over!
I absolutely love watching these videos by you guys. Y’all are amazing ppl
My Father grew up in Northern Maine on the Canadian border. His retirement wish was to go to Hawaii, the complete opposite side of USA, which he did. His favorite thing was he took a helicopter ride into an active volcano. I had no idea Hawaii had so many volcanoes much less that you could fly inside one! He got a videotape of the excursion which someday I want to get put into digital media so my daughters can see it! He brought me back some lovely jewelry made from quartz and shells!
Woah!!! That’s amazing. You should definitely get that videotape on a laptop or something like that so you can keep it!! How lovely!
Yay finally Hawaii! Nice selection, pretty good mix of touristy things and local favorites. My favorite is the li hing version of the hurricane popcorn but it’s even better when you get it fresh from kiosks or candy stores. I think Big Island Candies and The Cookie Corner are far superior to the Honolulu Cookie Co, personally I think they’re a bit overrated lol. I’d really love to see you folks try some of the odder selections from crack seed stores like lemon peel, olive cakes, prune mui, etc and you should definitely try to make goodie goodie/guri guri and butter mochi! They’re both super easy and yummy!
Having that popcorn fresh must be AMAZING 😍 oh wow. They sound so interesting. They would be awesome to try one day.
I went to Hawaii (Oahu) 2 years ago and it absolutely blew my mind!!! I had high expectations but it was so much more amazing than I could have imagined!! Its soooooo amazingly lush and green with tropical plants eeeeverywhere!! The air is phenomenal, it smells so fresh and floral! (Plumeria apparently?) But I thought it was amazing and I want to go back so bad. Also the people there were so wonderful and friendly :)
I’m so happy to hear this. Hopefully one day I can visit 😍 it smells floral. That’s crazy how amazing 😱😱😱
Fantastic box.
It really was 😍
This will be cool and fun
Love Hawaii went there once when I was 10. So pretty! Cool seeing all the different places you guys try and I love hearing the random facts ❤️🙂
So pleased you enjoy us trying all of these awesome places! ♥️
Happy American Thanksgiving, Kate. Keep that beautiful smile going, my dear British friend.
Happy thanksgiving Byron!
Best dried mango in the UK has got to be sainsburys, not too dried and no added sugar, its amazing!!
No way!! I’ll have to get some. Thanks Katy!
Ah just what we all need during these trying times, a tropical vacay! Thanks for that!!!
Those pineapple gummies are the prettiest gummies I’ve ever seen! They would be so cute on cupcakes or the rim of a tropical cocktail 🍹 😋🍍
So beautiful aren’t they! So glossy. Yes!! You’re so right 🍍
I went to Hawaii in 2006. There was A LOT of Japanese tourists so that’s probably why the food is quite geared towards Asia.
My husband and I got married in Hawaii 2 years ago (Oahu), we love it and plan to go back next year as an anniversary trip.
Enjoyed watching this! Everything looks delicious. My brother-in-law and sister went once with his family to Hawaii and then they went again with their 3 year old son. I sometimes dunk stuff in my coffee.
Thank you Amy! How lovely they’ve been a couple of times
@@ThisWithThem You are welcome and yes I have seen my brother-in-law’s pictures, he loves taking photos like me and he has been there by himself too.
I love hearing The Hawaiian language being spoken and I must also say I love the macadamia nuts and the fresh pineapple. I never had the chance to try much candy and now I wish I had because it’s way too expensive to order it and have it shipped to another part of the US. Maybe someday I will get to go back there and visit.
33:01 C. Howards makes a "Violet" candies similar to the Guava, my father LOVES them.
Just Googled! They look just the same but violet 😀😀
Diamond Bakery in Honolulu has an online store and they have some sweet snacks I think you would love. Their Guava and Lilikoi Biscuits are so flavorful.
Hi Kate and Alix I loved ♥️ it so much. Keep up with the good work . Stay safe and have a wonderful day
Thank you!! 😀 stay safe too and have a great week ♥️
@@ThisWithThem your welcome
I love Hawaii and have been fortunate enough to visit 3 times so far with #4 hopefully this year.
I have been to Hawaii about 10 times it is only a 10 hour flight from Australia my first trip will be Hawaii when the borders open. I love Hawaii lots to do and you can just relax if you want to.
This was so fun to watch! I’ve never seen or heard of 99% of these before.
So glad you enjoyed it Deanna! Love when we try new things to everyone 😀
Hi guys! I enjoyed this box. I am in the emergency room today. Not for the Virus. Just some cronic pain and Vertigo. Hope you have a good week.
Oh no! So sorry to hear this Kirsten! Sending you lots of well wishes ♥️♥️
Now we have another reason that we need to visit Hawaii aside from the beautiful sights and weather....all of their delicious candy! Loved the video guys!
I live in Hawaii and I been here since my whole life
That box looked really good. I like snacks that have "natural" elements to them like seaweed and macadamia nuts instead of just eating sugar and food coloring. As always, a really enjoyable video. Have a good one. Later.
Yes we do too! They’re so very delicious like that! Thank you Brandon 🥰
Funny Wasabi story - My mother in law tried sushi for the first time on a cruise and didn't know what wasabi was; she thought it was guacamole! She took a huge spoonful and popped it into her mouth. She thought she was going to stop breathing! We laugh about it all the time! PS.... Never been to Hawaii, but I love Kona coffee from Hawaii! You need to try it if you even go there :)
Hahahaha 😂😂😂 poor her! That must have been awful. At least she can laugh about it now with you all! we literally have a story like that with our dad trying it for the first time. 🤣 very powerful especially when you have too much!
@@ThisWithThem oh no!! Poor guy!!
Hawaii is as stunning as the pictures in the calendar. If you have never been I highly recommend visiting
My mom and sis and I went to Maui about three years ago. It was amazing. I would love to go back. You would love it.
My husband and I just came back this week from Hawaii! It is absolutely beautiful thats for sure. The sweet Maui onion is great, i was surprised from it. This time of year (covid) made things difficult but it was very understandable. We went to Maui and Kauai. Maui had a lot to offer with touristy things to do and natural things. Kauai is very naturally beautiful with stunning snorkeling beaches. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful in both! We have decided to go back when its fully open again, hopefully luau will be open .... dang this Covid! So much food we tried, even things I didn't think I'd like .... its all great and I can't wait to go back again!
Mac crunch is my favorite!!!
😍😍
Las Vegas has become home to many Hawaiian residents. It's dubbed the 9th Island. You will find many of these Hawaiian snacks and a couple locations of the Honolulu Cookie Company there. Also some amazing Hawaiian food in Las Vegas
FYI...@8:0...Since >1920s, people from China, Japan, Philippines & Portugal immigrated to Hawaii to work sugar cane & pineapple fields. In doing so, they also brought their cuisine & traditions. After WW2, immigrants from Puerto Rico, Korea & Vietnam, among others, all contributed to local Hawaiian culture. P.S...1st time viewer
It was a really great and tasty sounding video. I think I would like almost everything in that box. I have never been to Hawaii but maybe someday
You said something about trying something in a video 10 years ago, and I didn't realize you guys have been around that long online, I thought you are only in your mid-twenties if that.. you both look so young.
I love The boxes, this is totaly warming and I love The vids always, in rough Times 2020 we all need uplifting things, spread love always 💟❤️💟❤️
Thank you so much Anette love to you ♥️💕♥️
They sell mochi covered ice cream in the US too. OMG DELICIOUS! Hopefully you can try it one day.
Omg the big wave and longboard are some of my stepdads favorite beers
Hi Guys-two things-if I can suggest trying the guava jam over cream cheese on a cracker! That would be awesome. Secondly, the Japanese Matcha Kit Kat’s-so yummy. They are my favorite. My nephew and his wife gave a small parcel or Japanese candies as wedding favors and I have been obsessed with those Kit Kat’s since❤️❤️.
Very tropical candy box!!!
Can't wait to send You some candies.
Mahalo for the video
😀😀😀
What’s great in Las Vegas they have a store called ABC where you can buy aloof these treats. Also Neimans Marcus carries them.They are not overpriced and very good.
Awesome!!
Who else noticed the little squirrel on the fence near the start or the video??
Ahh I missed that! They love that fence
I don't see it.
I saw it too.
I saw it as well
It’s at 2.33 🐿
I have been many times yes it’s as beautiful as it looks in pictures but better 😍
Did you see the grey squirrel 🐿 on the back fence in the beginning! How cool!
Alex and I are on the same page when it comes to wasabi, I love the heat better than pepper heat! The hawaiian chips are produced by the Tims brand here in washington. I've loved the sweet onion for years!
I've had the hurricane popcorn mix with fresh popped popcorn and it's amazing with the warmth and freshness!
Oh I also love Long Board beer. A few summers back it was my go to beverage! I lived across from a specialty beer store and definitely indulged lol
Ahh we wondered that!! Thanks for letting us know 🥰 woah having that popcorn warm must have been amazing 😍
That’s pretty cool you lived near a specialty beer store. Haha yeah Alex would have if he lived near one too 😆
Hawaii is indeed as beautiful as you think. Can't wait to get back there again. By the way, my favorite snack in Hawaii is Li Hing Mui strawberry belts. Hope they included some in there.
the shirts are amazing i love
Yay thank you 😀
I have been to Maui and it’s simply beautiful..you must try to get to the islands one day!
I really hope we can one day!
Macadamia nuts are my favorite type of nuts from Hawaii. Have been there twice. Very expensive place to visit, but beautiful expansive scenery and a wonderful melting pot of cultures!😊🤗
I never used to be a big fan but love them now. I’ve heard it’s expensive but very well worth it! 🥰🥰
A homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dipped in Yorkshire tea.... that is my comfort food. I crave it on the regular 🥰
I lived in Hawaii my Daddy was a Marine. We were stationed there. People are so nice.
Big wave is sold in Panama city fl as well.
Like the shirts u 2 r wearing to coordinate with the video
Thank you Natasha 😀 perfect box for our shirts!
My sister just moved to Hawaii this year. She lives in Honolulu. Sadly I have never been. Someday 😁 She says the food there is amazing.
Yes, it’s as amazing as it looks. You have to go. I have been several times to most of the islands and there is so much diversity that you see some new plant or animal everywhere you look. And, when you step off the plane...the warm trade winds, floral aromas and bird sounds hit you straight in all your senses. Wowza...and the colors and rainbows. And the water....Yeah, it’s spectacular. 🌈☀️🌊
PS- Honolulu Cookie Co. is THE BEST. My friend always gifts them to me and I have to hide them from other family members because they don’t last long. They are delicious. Also...as others have mentioned, huge Asian and Japanese influence in Hawaii, as you can probably tell from the food selection they sent.
