Watch Californians' Hilarious Reaction to Michigan Foods

Pannukakku might just be Michigan’s secret weapon when it comes to attracting Californians away from the beaches and oceans. Just don’t tell them about Faygo.

Movoto, which calls itself the "fun" real estate blog, recently sat six Californians down and introduced them to some of Michigan’s most beloved food traditions — pasties and coneys, as well as pannukakku and Faygo.

Let’s start with the best responses.

One of the taste testers, Chris, would eat pannukakku all the time if he could.

“I want to have that on my birthday, I want to have it the day after my birthday, every day between that and my birthday and on my birthday again,” he said.

This is a guy who lists processed carbohydrates as his religion on his Facebook page. “This is Jesus,” he said after trying the baked Finnish pancake.

But if pannukakku is like a communion wafer, don’t expect Faygo pop to be the blood of Christ — though one of the Californians said the Rock & Rye variety looked like blood.

That was one of the nicest things said about Detroit’s original party pop.

This is harsh, so Faygo fans may want to mute their computers when they watch the video below.

“It tastes like someone took a couple of Jelly Bellys, left them in cream soda for a science experiment, died and then we tasted it 10 years later, something like that,” taster Maggie said.

Ouch.

The four were so-so on pasties, and pulled out every weather-related stereotype they could think about Michigan, comparing it to the tundra or Siberia. But they seemed to like it OK after getting past the confusing foray into geography.

And coneys just plain deserved better. Adam and Manny gave it the “mmm” seal of approval.

But it was hard to know what the others thought because they got caught up in the belief they may have eaten heart — no, it was just a possible digestive complication that rhymes with heart — and the discussion spiraled into a weird alternate reality where they turn into cows when the Moon is full.

Oh, California, don’t ever change.
