  • Here's a reaction video about myself, a Japanese-American, and my South African friend Sihle trying and tier ranking a heck ton of South African snacks! 🇿🇦
    Sigz came over at 1pm, and we finished filming at 6pm (I had told him it will take an hour)...... So thank you Sigz for committing to the hectic shooting that you didn't sign up for 😇🙏🏼
    Also! Massive shout out to Kirsty and Jean-Mari for helping the filming, Helé for sponsoring some of the snacks, and to Matt who helped me with the thumbnail! Loooots of love 🤍
    Thanks so much for watching this video, hope you have a beautiful day ❤️

      ​@@emigrace​​I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge. Pick any 10 languages video yourself taking the challenge and inspire us. (whether you have studied are familiar with or not). This is a fun opportunity to showcase your talent with a little bit of humility proving you too are human and still a language learner. You can put the flags of the 10 languages you choose for the challenge in both the thumbnail and the title and tag the video as #takingtheclozemaster 10 languages challenge. While also tagging the languages of the challenge. When choosing from a diverse variety of languages consider this, to include some of those you're familiar with, those that you are not, and those that you will later learn. Choosing to include a conlang like Interlingua and an ancient language like Latin will keep the challenge diverse while bringing recognition to these languages (you may surprise yourself). Consider getting a hold of Clozemaster they may be interested in sponsoring the video. We as a community of language Learners need a challenge that we can all appreciate and try together. To get the most out of the video challenge adjust the settings as follows: put the skills to listening, the question count to 10, and the mode to multiple choice. Then you can adjust the account to dark mode (as it's more attractive) and the default speed to 75% for better hearing the questions. Doing a dry run will ensure all the settings are correct. Keep a notepad by your side to keep track of the language scores. Before you end the video it would be nice if you encouraged other polyglots and language Learners to take up the challenge.
      Buenas suerte

    The Champion Toffee you didn't like is actually deeply rooted in many older generations of South Africans. The iconic toffee brand produced by a company known as Candy Tops and which was for a long time actually known more popularly as Wilson's Champion Toffees (or just "Wilsons") has actually been around since the 1940's and synonymous with many a South African childhood memories. Later the company changed hands and subsequently from there on things went down hill. So much so that hundreds of people lost their jobs after legal battles at it's plant in the Eastern Cape in 2016. That said, its great that such an icon is still around... eventhough not liked by all but still loved by many.

      Nice to know the full story - and that it's not just that my tastebuds changed since childhood! Used to have such a distinct cola flavour, like Iron Brew in sweet form. Three other things I wish we could retrieve from the 90s/2000s: Vanilla Coke, Cream Soda that didn't just taste like carbonated green sugar water, and Black Cherry Magnum ice creams.

    As a south african, I really don't like how he called her the n word and I generally view the n word as a filth word used initially to describe black people. I also don't feel comfortable when he says that she sounds white because if the roles were reversed she would have been called a racist. I really love your content and I think u are a nice person but don't let this guy make these racial slurs to u , and don't keep quiet just because you are white, I don't like using the term white, black, Indian whatever because we all came from Adam. We just have different shades. Although I am classified as 'black' I view myself as dark skinned. Keep living in God's will🙏🔥

You have to be a South African to appreciate those black toffees, those were the bomb! Fizzers, again, you had to have grown up eating those to appreciate them, adults buying them is a bit too childish. Chomp! weh ma mehhhh!!! It was the best chocolate for kids on a very tight budget, that's a legacy chocolate and deserves BOKKE position, other people just won't get it! And who in their right mind doesn't put Creme Soda and Granadilla twist in Bokke? Crazy people, that's who! As for ouma rusks and all this "Its dryyy" nonsense..Tsek!! Dip it in tea or coffee first before saying its dryyyy! (I just can't at this point!, no more destroying my entire childhood here!)
