As someone who is from Switzerland but recently moved these videos help so much with the feeling of being homesick! Listening to you guys review some of my favourite childhood snacks makes me feel so at home! Thank you and im so glad you enjoyed some Swiss goodies!

Hello from ... Switzerland 😍 First of all, I don't like ice in my drinks (except for martini or other drinks), but they have to be cold, so you were absolutely right to take ice with Sinalco, because it was definitely not chilled. Ovomaltine, I don't know if you know that, but the chocolate is actually only "secondary", the main component is malt (that's why it's crunchy) and the name actually says it (Ovo-MALT-ine). The Ovomaltine (as a drink) was originally developed "to strengthen exhausted people", and is still considered "healthy" and strengthening during or after sports/hiking. The Ovaltine powder for milk drinks is also exported, but differs in that the Swiss version does not contain granulated sugar. Darvida, I find this a "terrible" product, when I open a packet of my favorite Darvidas (with sesame seeds) I can't stop until I'm either about to burst or the packet is empty. 😀 Well, it's just that, chocolate heaven is in Switzerland, and of course that also applies to chocolate drinks. At least you've known one for a while, Nesquick, because this is from Nestlé in Vevey/Switzerland. However, I don't know if yours was made in Switzerland (I suspect not, but that doesn't necessarily make it worse). Your video is great, you seem to be having fun, enjoy and share with us. 👍

I love ice in my drink especially iced tea, but the small pellet ice is the best!

My cousin-in-law served his Latter-day Saints (aka LDS or Mormon) mission in Switzerland and visits often. He always brings back chocolate and other food for everyone to try. 😋😋

Great box! Looking forward to the rest of the box. Everything looked yummy.

Oh my goodness! What a great start for this box! And the details she went into for it all! Just wow. Hope that you all are having an amazing week and can’t wait till the next part next week! Cheers you guys, and have a beautiful weekend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

What a brilliant box.we haven't seen Swiss things featured so much so this was a real treat thank you 🙂🙂

No one would eat Dar-vida with wine 😂 It’s actually more like a little snack for kids or when you go hiking, but I guess you can eat them whenever ! 😄

Love the hair, Kate! Looks great!

I completely agree with Alex on when the small ice gets in the way when you're drinking!

Here in Canada & the US we have a chain of stores called Spirit Halloween that open just for Halloween. They sell Halloween decorations, as well as costumes and makeup. They are already open in most places! These stores are well known for their in-store displays Our craft stores like Michaels (or Joann Fabrics & Hobby Lobby in the US) have had Christmas items out for quite awhile already, however, that makes sense, when you think that they are marketed towards crafters, many of whom are selling their products at holiday craft sales, so they need time to create

Hey guys I just love Thursday cause I get to watch your new vid u guys are awesome

🐮 What a FANTASTIC selection from Lorraine !! Luv seeing the pictures of how beautiful it is in Switzerland. Speaking of ice , I am in a tea group. And even in winter I ask the server for iced tea. I do get some weird looks. My saying is the glass is half empty and it needs 🐻‍❄️ ICE. I always ask for an extra cup of ICE at restaurants. At the tea with my group last weekend, they have a tiny British 🇬🇧 Shoppe and I bought alot of chocolate 🍫 bars for my granddaughter and a friend (and me of course). They were Lion Bars and my fav Aero (mint) and regular. You both describe everything in such detail now l NEED some chocolate.🧀 I luv Swiss Cheese. Blessings from California. 🐻

Thanks guys keep up the hard work 🌻

I was taken back to my childhood when I saw the Sinalco! I always thought it was icelandic 🤣 if I remember right, it was made by Sana in Akureyri.😉😘

I much prefer a thicker crisp. Not about the delicate crisps you know but all looks so so nice

Wow that’s a high scoring box! 📦

Very different flavors. Interesting facts about Switzerland. The UK is close to so many different countries. We have Mexico or Canada. Even one of our states , Hawaii, is far away. And Alaska.

Thanks for all the reviews, I like your real reactions to each snack. Here in America, I live in Wisconsin, we are famous for cheese, and a danish called Kringle. It’s funny because the shelves are filled with Christmas decor at our local Hobby Lobby stores. Too early for me. Continue to enjoy life and all the snacks, cheers, Elizabeth S, Wisconsin USA 🇺🇸

ovomaltine does not originally male chocolate but malt products

The reason why the Vogel Nestli is so nutty on the outside is, because you onyl use haselnutpoweder, eggwhite and sugar :)

You pronounced «Caramel Salé» perfectly !

Never knew it was an American thing to put ice in drinks. I did know that free refills aren't really a thing in the UK so maybe that's why we're ok with a ton of ice in our drinks because we know we'll be able to get more lol. I'm starting to put together a list of items to send again because they're starting to announce new items being released for the fall so I'm hoping they start popping up in local stores soon!

@ThisWithThem

Yeah I feel like with the free refills maybe that’s why you get so much ice. Where as here if we order a pint of a soda and get half ice it’s very annoying as you just get hardly any drink and no refills! No way, Lindsey!! You don’t need to send us more ♥️♥️ you’ve already sent us so much!! That is so cool new fall items are being announced! Love hearing about new items!

Well, I’m a massive malt fan, and thought I’d buy the Ovomaltine biscuits, on a certain website they’re £34.99 for three packs 😵 I’m going to search the internet. Are you aware of malt syrup? I’m 71 and, as a child was given a teaspoon of malt each night before teeth and bed. My grandmother had quite a large jar of malt in the bottom of a floor cupboard, she walked into the kitchen to find me sitting on the floor in a pool of malt syrup, my hands covered in it, stuffing as much as I could get into my hands, into my mouth!

I grew up in the "village" and still live here, where the "Lindt & Sprüngli" chocolate factory is located. I can assure you that there are far better chocolate manufacturers in Switzerland. Even the big ones like "Cailler" and "Frey" are better than "Lindt". But the little ones are really good, like "Max Chocolatier" from Lucerne, or "laflor", " Taucherli" and many more! By the way, my favorite chocolate comes from Denmark - "Friis-Holm". :)

I'd love to send you a box of Alabama-made Golden Flake chips and snacks! Hopefully I'll be able to do that soon! :) All the snacks in this box sound so good - of course I've always heard that Swiss chocolate is very good. Have a great week guys!

Alot of sit down restaurants put ice in drinks as a filler. It saves them money 💰 You can order without ice 🧊 or ice on the side so you can add what you like.🤗

Hey Kate & Alex how are you doing?

Most places put extra ice so they can skimp on the soda and still charge full price 🤷🏻 if you ever say no ice they don't fill the cup. I don't like ice in anything really, occasionally I will have it in a blended coffee but other then that 🤔

That all looked delicious. I filled out another form last week. Hope I get an address in my email soon as to where to send the box of goodies I have for you.
