In the context of food "damp" is much grosser than "moist". Good cake is moist, but no good food is damp.

The chef on those "booger" sweets is Chef Excellence's evil twin; Chef Abhorrence.

Should have busted out the packbuster on the Gummi Mark.....

"Next time you make 'em in China, lads, don't feel you need to send them over!" Loved that :D

Oh no Ashens, never drop the soap... flavoured gum.

As soon as I heard "Canadian sweets" I knew the molasses kisses would be in the video. I hate those so much. Half of your trick or treat bag would be filled with them. I used to throw them at my sisters. Thrills though, I love Thrills. It's an experience. Strangely addictive.

Love the fact you describe Thrills gum as equivalent to eating your grandparents floral soap, that's how most people in Canada describe it as well. It's was first created as a joke gum and because it was so popular as a prank it caught on. If you ever run into a Canadian mention "soap gum" to them, they'll know what you mean.

'And finally I can take away the toast!' -Ashens 2014

Saw ashens today at comic con, really friendly in person (and took the Simon pegg joke lightly). Was really nice to meet you in person :)

I met Ashens today and he gave me a signed dvd cover for free- he's way too awesome for me to even comprehend

Actually the gum is meant to be a "gag" thing. as in you: "hey, you want some gum? it's delicious and doesn't taste like soap at all!" Friend: "yeah sure! non-soap tasting gum sounds great!" *friend chews gum* Friend: "friend, y )':"

who’s quarantine binging ashens vids?

Who thought of chef excellence when he saw the dead chef?

Snot candy: oh look, it's Chef Excrement.

I love this video, because I myself am Canadian, and all of his reactions were like, "Yep, that is exactly how baby me reacted on Halloween."

My mum loved that gum, and I always said it tasted like soap; she said "no it doesn't, its lovely".

There's always that ONE thing that people are so horribly horribly wrong about. Some people think dogs love chocolate, some people think Raccoons are nice, Until today, I thought Molasses were a type of clam.

I absolutely love the Molasses Kisses. As a kid in Canada, getting those in my Halloween Bag was something I always looked forward to!

''And finally I can take away the toast...''

Molasses Kisses are a traditional Canadian Halloween candy from the '50's to the '70's. I loved them. Most kids don't care for them today. Thrills are awful. They really do taste like dish soap.

"Something ain't right about that Gerard" - Honk Holl star of popular series Hill King

Cool stuff mate

Got this in my recommended and my first thought was, "Ashens is doing the Halloween special this early this year?" Then I recognized the pop rocks and gummy maggots and realized the video was over half a decade old. Ahh...never change

"Thrills gum" Someone still remembers the trick part of halloween :3

Oh, I forgot Hank Hill had a son named Gerald. Always thought it was Bobby. Thanks and stay fresh, Ashens.

I grew up with Thrills they're probably my favorite gum!! after you get used to the lavender-y flavor you get a nice sweet flavor. lol but most cant get past the old lady's kitchen sink flavor.

I loved Kerr's kisses as a kid (late 60s - early 70s), but I think the ingredients might have changed a bit since then. And Thrills were great, too. Dammit I'm old.

I'm from Canada, and I actually like the soap gum. It's definitely not for everyone though, because it really does taste like soap. The molasses kisses are proper nasty though. I remember that every year I'd get a good handful of those bastards in my trick-or-treat bag, even though I didn't see anyone put them in. I think they materialize inside the bags of bad Canadian children to punish them. You can't even use them to bargain for better candy with even the dumbest or youngest of siblings.

Looking at those boogers box: screw Ghoulicious, I think we just found Chef Putrescence

3:00 "An excellent zombie"

0:50 is the first time i've laughed out loud at a youtube video in months, thank you basedashen

As soon as I saw the Molasses Kisses and the Thrills, I pretty much knew what your reaction would be :) I had the same. EVERY year since I was a kid, those molasses wads would be in our trick'or'treat bags. Even my kids have gotten them every year. Who the hell keeps buying these?

As a 35-year-old Canadian, I remember getting those molasses kisses in my Halloween bag. I never liked them either, but my dad would eat them lol Not sure if the recipe changed, but I can taste them as I watched you eat them.

Ahh yes ^^ I remember the good old days when my dad would prank me every haloween by tricking me into eating thrills. Coincidentally I kinda like the taste now :)

"i don't eat my grandmother's soap"

I really love the molasses candy when soft and fresh. But I understand why its not for everyone.

I LOVE molasses kisses! Though the softer ones are preferable to the harder ones.

5:45 WE HAVE ENOUGH GODDAMN DONKEYS UP HERE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

08:10 "And finally I can take away the toast... And finally I can take away the taste of soap with some Thrills gum!" I lost it there.

Ashens, mate, the best you can do next year is do another one of these and show you still fiddling with the Gummi Mark packaging, it would literally be several years

ASHENS YOU HAVE DROPPED THE SOAP 8:58

How in the hell did I miss this video? I live in the 'States and have a Canadian buddy. We swap food with each other a couple of times a year and she recently sent me some Thrills. I actually really liked them for some reason.

Now ashens can feel the pain of all of us who have tasted thrills. His life will be forever changes

Jolly good scare at the beginning intro m8! I had a fright I did I did.

3:06 Chef Excaliance has really let himself go has he not. lol

OMG!! MARK means WORM in norwegian! is those norwegian?? o.O? i've never seen them before! AWESOME! XD

One of these days, someone is going to send Ashens a fruit scented pencil eraser and tell him it's a gummy snack or something.

Imagine LSD popping candy. I just need someone to fund my idea...

"Finally, we can take away the toast"

The molasses kisses were the bane of my childhood. Horrible stuff. Props to my fellow Canadian for sharing it with the world.

And finally I can take away the toast!

1:38 Don't eat them, Ashens! You'll anger the Ohmu

who is in the legion of chefs? Chef Excellence Chef Advance Chef Excellence's puppet Chef Excellence: the live action movie version

In the US we have "peanut butter kisses" which are of a similar texture as the molasses ones, but are in a saltwater taffy type shape and, of course, are peanut flavored. Taste more like play dough than anything.

I loved Hank Hills catchphrase "God dammit, Jarrod". lmao

I bought that Box of Boogers on clearance after last Halloween and I thought they were pretty good.

Gummi Mark is from Norway as it was bought in "Nille"

Thanks for the video! I thought it was really funny and cannot wait for your next video.

Can't wait to see what you release on the 30/31st for my birthday, lol. Your videos always make turning that little bit older nice. =P

At the beginning I was doing the intro "beep boop beep boop beep boo HEL OH SHI* wtf"

The Thrills sound like a trick treat, works in that sense!.

'You super bastards' i am literally laughing so hard that my sides are aching!

As soon as you said the molasses candy tastes soapy I thought "oh man, this guy has for to try Thrills..." And there it is!

"super bastards" I'm dying!

LOL He dropped the Soap ;) HAHAH

This video really made me 'laugh out loud' I love your type humour Stewart.

"And then sent for me for some reason" God damn I love you

"It still tastes like soap". Actually laughed! Someone thought that would enhance the attractiveness of a food product? Hmmm, soapy tasting goodness!?! Keep up the good work, Ashens :)

The molasses disaster Ashens mentions - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Molasses_Disaster

Those thrills sound amazing! I love parma violets!

Spot on about not wanting Molasses Kisses at Halloween, I hated finding them in my candy bag, but I've never had Thrills. We got those little Chiclets 2 packs.

Chef ghoulicious _An excellent booger_

I actually really enjoy the molasses candy. Please don’t hate me everyone. All of my friends always gave me really good trades for them because they all hated them. For example all of their molasses kisses for a can of pop or a bag or two of chips. I also love thrills gum. Making me feel bad over here (I realize I’m an outlier.) I never got any for halloween though. Sadly the flavour only lasts a few minutes.

O CANADA!! Love your vids Ashens!

Awesome catching you at comicon today! Great guy!

Unwanted molasses kisses can be sent my way. /*L* I think it's an east coast/Nova Scotia + Newfie thing. These things, the homemade version, are my earliest Hallowe'en candy and I still love them. :P

Generic flute flavour. GENERIC FLUTE FLAVOUR.

Chef Ghoulicious had better be the antagonist of the next Chef Excellence Mysteries.

"Chef Ghoulicious" - Chef excellence's best friend

the kisses are actually like my favorite thing. its usually just by the time you actually get them theyre fucking hard as rock. but if you do get them fresh, they're like some a caramel chew type of thing and they're really good. but also my mom used to give me molasses by the tablespoon when i was young for iron so maybe that's why i like them. i also think soap flavoured candy is just lowkey a thing here. tons of my friends and i love soap candy--also known as floral gums--that literally are just hard jub jub things that taste like soap. they're actually one of my favourite candies.

What's the difference between a cup of sand and a cup of boogers? You can't gargle with a cup of sand.

I loved that World of Warcraft refrence with the chef(i normally thought you wanted to do a Chef Exellence)

Hahaha, 8:11 "And finally I can take away the toast."

I live in Canada, and I've never heard of either of those things. We have soap gum? Why?

I actually like Thrills Gum. And being from Canada, I can buy it anytime I want. No, I'm not insane.

3:00 Chef Excellence, 40 years later.

YESSS, been waiting for this.

Hank Hill's son was not named Gerard, He was named Ferdinand. Gerard was his niece or something..

What is a 'Canada'?

I went to poundland today and got loads of stuff for Halloween! I am kinda sad!!!!!!! Great video

Chef Excellence has a nemesis!

Ashens, have you ever seen Chef?

They can't be serious ! Molasse ? Really ? I though this ingredient (a brown thick and sticky residue from the extraction of sugar from the sugar canes) was only used nowadays to make bio ethanol gas ! In early 20th century, it was the poorman's sugar, until in 1919 a giant container of molasse broke in Boston, killing over 20 people under a giant wave of brown sirup (it's gotta be one of the worst way of diying, drowning in a tar like substance). It took monthes to clear up the mess and years to get rid of the smell. I would have thought molasse would be pretty much banned from any food after such a tragedy... Oh and also because it tastes like sh...

Rewatching during quarantine

Ashens and his hilarious comedy jokes.

Tire à la mélasse... Does'nt compute. (i'm french) Maybe it means something in Québec.

'If you've ever had Parma Violets, imagine those magnified by 10 and sent to me for some reason' So they taste amazing?

AHHH, the Kerr's molasses sweets...I grew up on those for Halloween.

I'm from Canada and usually on Halloween I get many candies similar to molasses kisses/tootsie rolls. But most often they are fruit flavored and aren't as bad as the original flavour. They all go to my friends LOL
