Snacks. We all love them. There's something about just cuddling up at night after a really long day and just eating a bunch of yummy snacks. Everybody has their own guilty pleasures, right? Some people seem to like cereal at night. Not joking. I know a bunch of people who just make a nice big bowl of cereal and crunch down at night. Other people are classic. They go with chips or popcorn. And then you got that giant bucket of people that love their sweets. Now, don't get me wrong. I got a sweet tooth, but I'm not really a big dessert person. But when I say sweets, this can literally mean anything. But I'm a little bit all over the place right now. Let's talk about what we're doing today. Of course, it has to do with snacks.

But this video is going to be a little bit different because, yeah, we'll do a little bit of cooking. We always have to. But I have worked really hard for the past month or two to secure some of the rare snacks from all around the world. Some of these things were made in really small batches by companies we know and love, only to suddenly be discontinued at some point, but somehow I've gotten my hands on one of them. Others are products that are sold throughout the world. Think really unique flavors of your favorite bag of chips, or Skittles cookies, or really weirdly flavored Oreos, or even super interesting sodas, like Strawberry Fanta. Also, a few videos back, we made that amazing creme brulee video and we got almost 7,000 comments on it because I wanted to give back to you for helping us as a channel to reach 2 million and send one of you with a plus one to a three Michelin star dinner.

It's a special opportunity that quite frankly, even I have only done once in my entire life. Because as we all know, there aren't even that many three Michelin star restaurants on the planet. Now, I picked out the winner and I'm going to announce it at the end of this video. It's my hope that we can do many more giveaways like this down the road, but check that out at the end of the video to see who won. I am so excited for you. Now, enough talking, because I know you want to see the goods. So here they are.

What rare snacks did the host source and why are they special?

Nick DiGiovanni 1:34

Now, before we dive in and start eating, I want to show you a couple of what we're dealing with today. Since I already mentioned it, let's start first with these Skittles cookies. Now, theoretically, this is exactly what it sounds like. It's cookies made by the company Skittles. It says they're crunchy and not chewy, and it looks like it's literally just plain old cookies with some Skittles inside. So I'm curious to try these out. Next, we have something that I am incredibly excited for. And those are a good old bag of Doritos, which frankly are one of my guilty pleasures. But these aren't just any regular Doritos. These are nacho cheesier Doritos. You can see that this is quite clearly from a different country.

And like I said, that's how we get a lot of these things. These are probably constantly sold elsewhere in several countries, but I was somehow lucky enough to find a set of them. Next, we got some Cheetos mac and cheese. Now the idea of Cheetos making something that you actually have to cook yourself, it's pretty funny to me, especially considering you can go into any gas station or any market out there and grab a bag off the shelf and eat it like that. But I believe this is the only thing in all of our snacks that we actually have to cook today. So it looks like they're still gonna put me to work a little bit. Here, we have some Dr. Pepper cotton candy. Honestly, I'm actually a huge fan of cotton candy myself.

So this one's gonna be a treat. The last thing I'm gonna call out before we begin tasting are these Sour Patch Kids that are mango flavored. I love mango, and I'm not sure why this isn't a flavor literally everywhere. Let's first start with our chips. We're gonna go through in categories. I'm gonna open this thing up here, and what it looks to be is chips and dip, clearly Doritos. I open this thing up and there's this silver bag inside, which is actually really interesting.
