A surprise package from the Philippines pops up!

What's in the mail? Is it an old T-shirt? A lunchbox full of rusty knives? Video game treasures? Canadian energy drinks?

We have one of those barrel guys! It always made me chuckle and think it was "naughty" when I was a kid, hell it still does.

Cool to see the weird stuff my mum buys, we have a bag of garlic Boy Bawang in the cupboard and I love those dried mangoes!

Great ending, too, Alexis!

Haha, when Ryan was reading the note and read out a carved statue of humor, of whatever, the first thing that came to mind was that thing. I bought one for my uncle a couple years ago as a gag gift, though it was much bigger than that one. Priceless.

'Bawang' means garlic in Tagalog.

Which is now ruined for me, because I now think it's an innuendo of some sort.

Im not sure how I'd feel putting Cracker Nuts into my mouth. Is it made by the same company that makes Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls?

So i figured the 'bawang' word would inevitably receive some type of innuendo laced joke but then the wooden guy sorta covered that and then some.

DUDERS, no joke, I eat Boy Bawang all the time. If you can suffer the fact that boy _wang is right on the label, they are the tastiest of the corn nuts. Tempted to get up on some Spicy Garlic after that video.

I live in Thailand, my fiancee is Filipina and I eat Boy Bawang every time she goes there and returns or we wander over to the Philipines store in Bangkok. I hate to tell you guys this, but she pronounces it Boy BA-WONG, it's a soft A. Now, the Philipines has over 80 dialects, so some pparts might pronounce it your way, but the Occidental Mindoro region is Bawong.

Being a Filipino, not sure if i should be proud? It's always been awkward seeing those figures and in the same souvenir shop, there will also be penis keychains cause they are funny somehow. As for those cracker nuts, too bad they didn't send the superior garlic flavor. And now I know how it feels when a foreigner mispronounces a common word of your dialect. Tagalog has no accents so its just ba-wang (short a).
