Most of those snacks are iconic because they are our childhood treats but honestly we all grew out of pineapple lumps and chocolate fish. Also production moved from NZ to Australia because of cost and tbh they arent as good as they were in NZ

New Zealand is obviously a small country and creates alot of iconic items, but we adopted alot of traditional food recipes from the English. If anything was once from New Zealand, huge Australian companies will buy it, cause they can afford it. Arnotts and nestle is definitely Australian, but Cadbury was and kinda is still English, then made in New Zealand, but now Australia.

Pineapple Lumps are a New Zealand creation. Not sure if Australia bought the company or if it was a New Zealand side of the company. But production was stopped in NZ and moved to Australia, and the products are not as good.

Hello beautiful couple💖. I love these vlogs where you're together, interacting, trying, and sampling different things. Your descriptions of the products are great! Tx for sharing. Although watching all these snacks makes me gain 5 lbs 🤣🙉. Some of these snacks are very interesting and look delicious. 🤤 Funny thing is, I recently found a forgotten Whittaker's chocolate bar with nuts in my pantry, half-eaten 🤣. Can't remember where we got it from, but it seems this brand is in Ottawa. Really good and tasty!👌 Enjoy the rest of your time in NZ. Lots of love to both of you. 💖

Try Lemon and Te Aroha, which was the first fizzy drink in NZ and instead of having carbonated water has naturally fizzy soda water from a spring in Te Aroha, plus naturally flavoured lemon. Went out of business about 50 years ago but had been reopened in last couple years. Soooo good

L & P, Lemon & Paeroa I believe originated in the town of Paeroa south of Auckland. Apparently using spring water from the town, happy to be corrected if I'm wrong, I remember my parents telling me this as a kid.

Put the original cookie time ones in the microwave for 15-20sec. Awesome. how dare you insult pineapple lumps! glad you got the green jet plane eventually. they're the best flavour. also the purple ones. that chocolate fish looked a bit pretentious. just the basic one from the dairy does the trick. best snack when on the run though is a steak n cheese pie, with a perky nana for afters.

First of all paeroa in L&P is said like pie raw say that quickly pie raw and that's the pronunciation of that word and paeroa is the town the drink is made in. Google it and you'll see the giant bottle. Shapes are a NZ company in Australia. And Feijoa is pronounced fee Joe a. Pineapple lumps are best left at room temperature as the are chewy when soft. A great crisp over twisties is Rashins. So rich as are salt and vinegar chips or crisps with Maggi onion dip not needing the vinegar or lemon added. Jaffas are best sucked those jet planes are also known as ducks feet as they look like them too. Moro and snickers are basically the same. Cookie time is best dunked in tea or hot chocolate. And Cadbury luxury flakes are the best most rich chocolate. Hope this helps.

I love these types of videos 😂 I think I would have to agree with your ratings though. Some of those snacks are iconic or nostalgic but don't taste great. RJs, Cookie Time and Whittakers are amazing though. I found RJs licorice in eastern Canada when I lived there. It was just the plain red licorice and it did taste a bit old/stale... but we were so excited to find it! Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in NZ!

Twisties, Burger Rings & Rashuns all had a recipe change a few years ago; and are now far inferior products to what they used to be. Its almost as if they changed factories, equipment, cooks and recipes all at once they're so unlike what they used to be.

Great video! I pretty much agree with you on everything, but you should have had Snackachangi vinegar and salt chips - sooo good. Every now and then I need a pineapple fruju, just because it reminds me of childhood summers at the beach - same with L&P, really (I usually dilute it with 2/3 soda water though, to cut the sweetness 😅). RJs raspberry logs are one of my favourite things in the world - so, so good!

I think when Mondelez brought Cadbury, they consolidated a lot of manufacturing to Australia, they closed their factory in Dunedin and pascals went overseas who were a subsidiary of Cadburys NZ operation. All of Pascals confectionery once came out of a factory I used to pass all the time on Rosebank Road in Avondale, Auckland.
