SEATTLE, Wash. — It's unscripted, unpredictable, and with millions of views on YouTube, it's no doubt HiHo Kids, "Kids Try" videos are unbelievably entertaining.
"Our mission statement is to promote empathy through play, which means we give kids a plate of food, but they can do whatever they want with it." said Marina Taylor, Creative Director for HiHo Kids. "So if they want to throw it across the room, that's fine. If they want to put it in their hair, we don't care."
In each Kids Try food video, kids try food from all over the world. While the stars are adventurous eaters, they're quick to admit they don't always love everything.
"I would say a duck leg because it looked weird, like really weird," said Desmond Vieg, one of the Kids Try stars. "I didn't even taste it I licked it."
But the masterminds behind the viral video series, which is produced in Seattle, say that's what makes the videos so special.
"They want real reactions, not fake. They want real personality," said Crystal Anne Martin, who's one of the most adventurous eaters in the group.
"One time I tried pigs blood," said Martin. "And I liked it!"
The one thing she really hates? Nachos.
Like we said, these kids are unbelievably entertaining.
HiHo Kids produces several other series, and if you need a good laugh (who doesn't) we highly recommend you check them out! They release new videos every day.
