  • - (FBE) So today, you'll be trying some Mexican snacks.

  • - Okay, now I'm nervous.

  • They all have spicy stuff, so then I get so scared

  • because I don't know if my tongue's gonna burn off.

  • - Ooh, hope it's chocolate.

  • - Ooh! This is cool.

  • Oh, okay! Let's go!

  • - I feel like it's gonna be spicy.

  • - I've seen Mexican candy before.

  • Some of these involve something spicy.

  • - If this is either Takis or Hot Cheetos

  • and you give me a cup of them, I will eat all of them,

  • and you cannot take them away from me.

  • - (FBE) Here is your first snack.

  • - What is it?

  • It looks like... kind of like a pretzel, but red.

  • - I've seen these before.

  • These are Takis. The spice!

  • (crunching)

  • - They're spicy!

  • (moaning gutterally)

  • - Uno, dos, tres! (crunching)

  • Spicy. Oh my god, that's hot.

  • It's hot. Help.

  • (crunching) - Takis.

  • Takis. You're not taking these away from me.

  • - The first time I tried them a couple years ago,

  • I started crying because it's too hot,

  • but now I really like them.

  • - (FBE) So these are Takis.

  • It's a tortilla chip flavored with chilli pepper and lime,

  • but Takis comes in a lot of flavors,

  • including guacamole, habanero cucumber,

  • and chilli pepper cheese.

  • - Okay, that's probably why it was so spicy.

  • - Cucumber? That sounds weird.

  • - Those are not good.

  • Who would make that into a chip?

  • - All those are spicy!

  • How come they can't just be like Cheetos?

  • - This is their regular and they have a jalapeno one?!

  • - (FBE) Here's the next one. - It looks like candy.

  • - I've seen stuff like this before.

  • It's squeezable, pretty much like squeezable candy.

  • (smacking lips)

  • - It's spicy but then it was--

  • then it got more fruity.

  • - Ew! It kind of looks like my dog's food.

  • Oh. It looks a lot worse than it tastes.

  • It looks so bad. It smells so bad.

  • But it's actually kind of fine.

  • - I'm only taking one little lick.

  • (smacking lips)

  • I like it. It's sweet.

  • - (FBE) So this is Pulparindo.

  • You just push out a candy made from the pulp

  • of the tamarind fruit. - (giggling)

  • Every time we push it, it gets bigger and bigger.

  • - It's like a Mexican Push Pop.

  • - Time to squirt out the icing.

  • (mimicking airplane zooming)

  • - (FBE) So here is your next snack.

  • - It looks like a cookie.

  • (gasping) Whoa!

  • - The texture is just like a powdery texture

  • that just breaks apart.

  • - I love these. Oh my god. I'm digging in.

  • Mmmm! (giggling)

  • - Cheers.

  • Hmmm.

  • It tastes like peanut butter.

  • - Mmmm. So good.

  • It's peanut butter.

  • - Ugh.

  • It tastes like a good kind of candy,

  • but it tastes a little too sweet.

  • - I'm getting a nutty taste, and then it's kind of like--

  • everything else is kind of dusty.

  • - It's just a little peanut buttery.

  • Like, people who really love peanut butter, like my dog,

  • would like it-- I'd recommend it for them.

  • - (FBE) This is marzipan.

  • It's a peanut and sugar candy. - Yeah, it does have sugar in it.

  • - I love it. It's just really good.

  • - As soon as you bite in, it crumbles,

  • but then you have it and it's like...

  • - (FBE) Here's another one.

  • - Milk and cake?

  • - This looks like a ginormous Kit Kat bar.

  • - What the heck is this?

  • Mm-mm, I don't like it.

  • - It's good.

  • It tastes like strawberry, like a little bit like

  • strawberry pink-- like a little strawberry cream,

  • then there's vanilla and chocolate.

  • It just tastes like really good cake.

  • - Mmmm! This is good.

  • It's like cake covered with chocolate.

  • - I really like the chocolate part of it

  • and not the, um, spongy part.

  • - (FBE) This is Gansito. It's a spongecake with cream

  • and strawberry jelly filling. - Nope.

  • This is terrible.

  • You just get a whole bunch of bread with a teeny bit of flavoring.

  • - It's really good. I like it.

  • I would have this a lot.

  • - Yeah, it does taste like strawberry.

  • Mmmmm!

  • - Wow, I just realized it has jelly filling, and this is good.

  • That was my favorite one so far.

  • - (FBE) Here is your last one.

  • - It looks like a baby bottle.

  • - What the heck is at the bottom? That looks like sand.

  • - See, I already know it.

  • Okay, come on, Sydney! Let's go!

  • Aah! Okay... it's spicy.

  • Not as spicy as I expected.

  • - This is gonna be spicy, I just know it.

  • Spicy!

  • - This is my name. I call it the "Lucas candy."

  • Ugh! No, no, ugh, ugh.

  • (gagging) It's salty to me.

  • Ugh, I don't-- (groaning)

  • - Ew! It tastes like I just had some raw spices

  • that my mom was cooking.

  • - It's kind of like a spicy orange-ish taste.

  • - It's like that baby bottle thing, except that this

  • is a spicy version.

  • - (FBE) This is Lucas Muecas.

  • It's a lollipop with spicy mango chilli powder.

  • - Why would you do that?

  • Why would you put chilli powder on a lollipop?

  • Isn't-- a lollipop is supposed to be sweet.

  • - I really like Fun Dips and stuff like that,

  • so if they just added some more sugar

  • and make it less spicy, then yeah.

  • - (FBE) So which one of these Mexican snacks

  • would you recommend people eat? - The Gansito.

  • - Gansito.

  • - Takis. Feel the heat!

  • - The Taki one.

  • That was the best out of all of them.

  • - I would recommend you eat the Gansito.

  • It's really good.

  • - The Takis is off the chart of goodness.

  • - The Gansito because it's really good.

  • It's just like chocolate mini-cake.

  • - The Gansito.

  • I really like it. This is getting fun.

  • I want to try some more

  • different cultural snacks or whatever.

  • So I'm ready for more!
