Canadian snacks get put to the test this week, and not by Canadians. A pair of American snack reviewers work their way through a care package of Canadian classics, and the reactions land somewhere between confusion and genuine love.

 

The lineup includes butter tarts, tracked back to a printed recipe from a 1900 community cookbook in Barrie, Ontario, along with Smarties, Coffee Crisp, and the beloved All Dressed chip. There is also a quick life hack for finding snacks anywhere using nothing but a map app, and a shoutout to another American reviewer using snack content to raise awareness for muscular dystrophy.

 

If you have ever wondered how Canadian snack culture actually holds up outside the country, the scores might surprise you.
