- Well, I am a snack!

(laughing)

You're a snack.

And we're gonna swap the snacks.

(laughing)

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

- I'm Q. I'm American.

- I'm Hitomi.

I am Japanese American.

- Hi, I'm Rie.

I'm Japanese.

- Hi, I'm Alix.

I'm American.

- And today we're gonna be swapping some snacks.

- Yeah.

- Seeing which ones are better.

I don't think I've ever tried

a Japanese snack before in my life.

- Oh, what?

(upbeat music)

- These are classic. - Yeah.

I mean, they're pretty much the same shape, style,

maybe not flavor, which we'll try out,

but they're chips in a can.

- I can't believe you have a tube snack too.

- Yeah, but it's shorter, look.

- Yeah, that's true. - Portion control.

- Yeah, what is this?

- These are pizza-flavored.

This is like as American as you can get.

- And the flavor, it's lemon.

- Whoa!

- This is really cute. - Yeah.

- This is like, get ready to ruin your life.

(laughing)

(gasps) (laughing)

- All right, cheers. - Cheers.

- Hmm.

- These are great.

- It tastes like artificial pizza.

(laughing)

- The pizza's the best, 'cause it's like,

it really does taste like pizza.

- This is lighter.

Like, the texture is a little bit crispier.

And this has a lot more density to it.

- I like mine.

- I like mine.

- Hmm.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- Whoppers!

- This is like a six dollar movie snack.

- Yeah.

- But they're good though.

And I promise you, the only time I've ever eaten it

was at a movie.

- My sweet snack is Mochi Mochi Chocolate.

- Ooh!

- It's mochi, but have you had roasted tea?

- Yeah, actually,

I think I have. - Okay.

- Because it's roasted, it has more depth.

You know?

- That sounds magical.

These are just like, there's no depth.

It's just like,

you eat it, you're just there.

- How cute is that though?

It comes with a little fork. - Yeah.

- Okay, so.

Well, we know, for sure,

Japanese snacks are not accessible.

Or, they're accessible but it's like

when you open 'em you gotta open 'em again.

- So cute.

- Cheers.

- Do I eat the whole thing? - Yeah.

Maybe.

- I'm gonna bite it.

- It's pretty good. - Yeah?

- I like it.

The texture though, it's like 100% like--

- Yeah.

- This is a very light chocolate,

and like the tea flavor comes through.

And so I really enjoy it.

- Mochi has like this "mmmrrreeeeeep."

- This is good though.

- I'm gonna try hoopers.

- Hoopers? - Whopper! Hoopers!

- I love Whoppers because,

I don't know, I guess because its a malt.

It's a fun thing happening in my mouth

but, no, Whoppers--

(laughing)

- I like it, but,

let me tell you.

- What?

- I like-- I'm a dark chocolate person.

(upbeat music)

- Baby Crabs.

(laughing)

So, these are literally just itty, bitty, tiny crabs

as you can see.

(laughing)

- I have a hard time eating things

that look like they do when they're alive.

- I've been clawed by a crab.

What is it? Pinched?

I've been pinched before. - by a crab?

It's okay. It's dead.

- It's like an irrational fear.

I don't know like it might come alive

in my mouth or something.

Well these, (laughing)

are Flaming Hot Cheetos.

These are a classic. - Yes!

- Try it. - Okay, here.

- And it comes in this little dish, another dish.

- Yeah.

- Good luck!

(laughing) - Ugh.

Everything I try to open is so--

I feel like I'm going to open these

and they're just going to pop in my face.

- Don't think it's crab,

or don't think it's fish. - Yeah.

- Or like seafood.

(crunching)

- Ooo this is really--

- Oh.

(crunching)

- Uh! (laughing)

(crunching)

I got a leg.

- Alright.

(crunching)

Ugh!

- I can't. I can't eat anymore fish.

- Oh yeah.

(bag crinkling) (laughing)

- I can't.

Rei!

What are you doing to me? (laughing)

(crunching)

- They are a lot crunchier than I ever imagined.

- Yeah. - Oh my goodness.

- Gonna have a Cheeto.

Yes!

Yes, this is a good snack! (laughing)

- Like, it's looking at me.

Ugh, I can't.

- Oh Wow! Spicy!

- It's spicy, right?

- It's spicy. - See, Oh.

- Man, I love hot Cheetos.

They're just a perfect teenager snack.

- Yeah, Cheetos are great.

They're nice crunchy.

The flaming hot are spicy.

A lot of flavor.

- I think I like it better,

for this round. - I do too, for sure.

(upbeat music)

- So I have for you jalapeno flavored potato chips.

Everybody loves a potato chip.

It's easy, it's delicious.

- These are squid chips.

But, it's actually more like

tempura chip--

chip fried squid.

- It's just a drawing.

- There's a little drawing of a squid on the bag.

(bags crinkling) (laughing)

What have you done again, Rei?

- Don't think of a squid squid.

It's just a drawing.

- See how excited I am to try these.

The last ones, just because they looked like crab,

they were way off.

If they were like this, (laughing)

I'd eat the whole bag. - Yeah.

- I'm sure of it.

- It smells like jalepeno.

- Yeah cause they're jalepeno flavored.

- Lizard fish paste.

(laughing) - Oh my god.

That just changed--

Never read the ingredients. (laughing)

- I mean, I like calamari so--

- Uh-huh. - I might like this.

- Yeah.

(crunching)

(crunching)

- Mmm, they smell a little lemony.

- These are not spicy.

- Is it fishy?

- No. - Yeah.

- It's lemony. - Told you.

- These are so good. (crunching)

- No heat though.

Like, there's no spice in this.

- There's not very much heat.

- These taste like a sweet and spicy type of deal.

I'm all for it.

- I'll give you this one.

- Good.

(hands clap)

(upbeat music)

- Wow! I wonder what this is?

(laughing)

- They're crab flavored crackers.

- Everything is crab.

Everything is like a fish.

- Bugles. - They're like a corn chip.

- Oh, we have similar ones. - I wanna say.

They're kind of like a corn chip.

And they have the coolest shape.

You put 'em on your finger. - Yeah.

- Like a little hat.

- I haven't had these in so long.

(crinkling)

- Yo, why have I struggled with like three of these--

(high pitched voice)

- I got two.

(laughing)

- One.

(crunching) Two.

- Don't do more.

(crunching) (laughing)

- Whoa.

(laughing)

- It doesn't taste like crab.

(crunching) Does it?

(crunching)

(crunching) - This is really good.

- Do you see the crab leg in there?

I'm just kidding.

- Yo!

(laughing)

- Yeah, you know, its not bad.

But I choose the Bugles.

- Maybe.

- More flavor, right? - Yeah.

- It has a crunch.

- But it's almost--

it's like,

if styrofoam could be a chip,

this is it.

- Finger hats.

(laughing)

- Add your hat.

(laughing)

(gasp) (laughing)

(upbeat music)

- Bonus round.

This is a very nostalgic treat.

It is called Botan Rice Candy.

It's something you would find

in a grocery store,

in the aisle when you're checking out

and you have gum, and your candy bars and stuff.

This is most likely gonna be there.

I present to you

a little present. - Wow.

I feel like this is going to be way easier to open.

Oh my gosh, it's always another layer.

- Oh but these guys, - Oh Okay.

- You could actually eat the wrapper.

If you open it.

- This wrapper. (wrapper crinkling)

- Yeah.

- So, I don't even have to

take this off anymore - Nope.

That's part of it.

- Okay.

- Do you bite it?

- I do.

- Oh, okay. Okay.

These are good.

- Right?

- So this is the bonus snack.

- Ooo bonus snack.

- It's sushi. (gasp)

But it's candy.

- Oh my gosh. - And we're going

to make it together.

- It's so cute!

- Yeah, right?

- Oh my gosh. It comes with a dropper.

- Put water.

- Just a little? - Just like, after this line.

You see it's rice.

- Rice? - Mm-hmm.

- Like actually? - Mm-hmm.

- Oh wow.

- It's color oil. (gasp)
