      I’m with Andy. Anderson lives in NYC and saltwater taffy is a Jersey Shore boardwalk staple. Is he admitting he’s never been ‘down the shore’ before? I know he’s rich and from the Vanderbilt family, but still come on.

      “Where is my beer! I want my beer…”

      So incredibly relatable 😭😂

      I’m going to go out on a limb and say that most Americans have never had salt water taffy.

      Now make them get the overpriced old timey pictures done for the full boardwalk experience!

      Anderson is notoriously not a “food person.” He just doesn’t like food in general. He tried his first waffle in his 40s and didn’t like it.

      OP, have you possibly got this in a lower quality? I can almost read the subtitles

      He’s a Vanderbilt and taffy seems too déclassé for the blue bloods.

    9. Lived my whole life on the beach, legal decades, SWT sold all around me, never ever tried it. I get it.

    10. I just never imagined that the slick, buttoned-up Anderson Cooper I watched so lovingly on the news as a child would end up on this trajectory – giggling like he’s stoned and has the munchies… with Andy Cohen.

      Love that for him lol.

      Sidenote: Anderson Cooper was my first big crush as a kid and I was *devastated* when my mom told me he was probably gay. I refused to believe it for years lmao.

    11. I remember the time when Anthony Bourdain just got signed to CNN and he had Cooper eat Korean army stew, which is a spicy soup made from luncheon meat. Cooper looked so reluctant and had the most insincere “it’s good” lol

      Anderson and Andy’s different childhoods are really showing off here

      I love how he cracks him up continuously, they hang out off air for sure.

      Okay weirdo.

      (But also: banana is the best flavor. You’re welcome, Anderson Cooper, ya silver spooned silly.)

      Elites: tell me more about this hot dog all of the peasants are yammering about.

      I’ve had salt, water, and taffy, but I’ve never had salt water taffy

      I’ve never even heard of saltwater taffy. Is it an American thing or more a white thing? Cause that might explain it
