I’m south african too and when they brought up Dove I was confused, because dove makes soap not chocolate 😅
Yes bru, I was tripping on that as well😂😂.
Same in Spain
Same in Czechia (and the rest of Europe probably)
in Portugal too
Ikrrr
In Portugal the ice creams we call it OLA like South Africa, and DOVE is a soap ;)
Dove is soap in the UK too, I'm surprised they didn't mention it. Dove chocolate does not sound appetising to me!
@@hannahk1306 right? I was like "why are you eating soap?" until I realized it's a chocolate 😭😭
Dove is a soap in South Africa too
In Austria we call the ice cream brand Eskimo
@@keabetsoemyeni4236 or roll on / deodorant
That girl from South Africa is so positive and fun to watch. Loving her vibe!
It's funny, in Belgium we do the same thing as in South Africa. We use a popular brand as the slang word for all of that stuff. Like, a pen could be called 'bic', glue could be called 'pritt', diapers are also called 'pampers'... That's in Flemish (Belgian Dutch) slang though, I don't really know if they do this in French-speaking Belgium too.
Interesting that in South Africa all soda is also coke. In the American South we also call all sodas coke, which can lead to the fun exchange:
"What would you like to drink?
-Coke
What kind of Coke?
-A coke coke"
(meaning a normal coca-cola as opposed to say, a sprite)
Not all soda, but all coke soda (dark ones), whether it's Coca-Cola, Pespi or other smaller brands. For example, we don't call Sprite coke. Instead we call all soda "cold drink".
No she's wrong we don't call all soda coke. We say cold drink
@@InfoHubZA yet we also actually don't say "cold drink" but rather "cool drink" when we actually say it out loud.
@@smileprincess6834 we use both "cold drink" and "cool drink". But I hear a lot more people just say "drink" nowadays, or just specify Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Oros 😅
@@InfoHubZA Igroovie?
Im south african and when they said dove i thought they meant the soap, and when they started talking ab chocolate i was SO confused lol
South Africa does not have only English as an official language , of course the accent and some words are different , there are 11 if I'm not mistaken, I'm not used to the accent or words from there, but it's good to see people from there on the channel to learn
We have 11 official languages here in South Africa, you're correct. But there are also people from different parts of the continent and world.
My barber is from Burundi, as well as some other folks I know, people from Madagascar and other French speaking countries in Africa, so there are people who speak French here. There are lots of Arababs, so Arabic is also spoken here. I'm Muslim, and a lot of learned Muslims (like Sheiks and Imaams) speak Arabic. There are Indians, Chinese, people from Portuguese speaking countries (like Angola or Mozambique).
It's not just South African languages spoken here.
But then how do people communicate. Do they just all know 11 different languages?
@@thetragicghostking. Most people can speak English, albeit to varying degrees. However, it also depends on the area.
In one area English and Afrikaans are the dominant languages, other areas, just by reading the names of the places you can tell that Afrikaans is the main language. Then you'll find areas wherein mainly Zulu or other "Black languages" are spoken. So it really depends on the area you're in.
But to be perfectly honest with you, you can live here in South Africa by only speaking English. The vast majority of South Africans can speak English, as a 1st 2nd, 3r, or even 4th language. As Henri correctly stated in his initial comment, we have 11 official languages here, so the vast majority of us here speak more than one language, which often includes English.
Really, wich really matters is that south africa is anglophone country.
12 if you count sign language.
We do have some Hershey's chocolate products in South Africa, unfortunately the majority of the products are quite expensive due to them being imported from the US
Way too expensive
i stayin SA and it is expensive
I've had Hershey's in South Africa. I saw it being sold at a store and was curious. Worst chocolate I've ever tasted 😂 I'll stick to the usual top deck thanks
😂😂😂
So true. As an Aussie it’s so bitter and almost burnt
Speciality stores will sell imported Hershey’s in South Africa at crazy prices. On a side note, I found Lucky charms cereal from the states at like R200. My son is soo excited and totally rationing it.
As Indian i can Mostly relate to the with south African
In Portugal we call the Ice Cream brand "Olá", which means Hello haha
The Dove one had me shook, when you started talking about chocolate, all I could think about was Soap and creams
Dove is soap and nothing else
@@mthunziphakathi4215 here in the US it’s chocolate to
Dove is just Bath essentials in India too
@@mthunziphakathi4215 Yeah, and ointment and stuff! Here in Belgium too!
Funny thing is - it's soap in the US too. I had it Google it once to see if one company decided to brand themselves on hygiene and chocolate LOL, but alas, they are two different parent companies
In Jamaica, it could be frosted flakes, coco puffs, lucky charms, we call them all cornflakes 💀🤣
Hahaha In Germany it’s the same!
South Africa has a lot of Englishes. There's always words that's being left out cause they used by different communities or in different regions. The brand name thing is true though 😂
Like here in Durban we call fizzy drink minerals lol
@@dionlinda6737 😂😂😂 ahh another Durbanite 😎
It's interesting how brands market differently in each country~ Definitely learned something new! -Christina 🇺🇸
Loved the video , your return has been great , hope for more 😁🇺🇸❤
Lays bought quite a few potato chip brands from around the world and just kept the same names in those countries while having the logo all basically the same. I just wish they'd make some of the flavors from each country available everywhere.
You are awesome 👌
We French 🇫🇷 and Europeans 🇪🇺 rather say coca not coke 😆 Christina
I get mad excited whenever I hear "in South Africa..." 😂
🤗🤗🤗
Wow, this has been the wildest video I've seen on this channel thus far. I'm also named Christina & also from New England, so it was super interesting to hear all of these brand differences.
Do one with Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, British, and Americans
I need a moment to appreciate the outfit Lauren is wearing , it's very good , perfect mix of white and green , green probably her favorite color as well as mine 💚🤍
Agree
In the shopping stores, I see a lot of Green. 💚
@Ralphomatic Wood The one from the UK
SA should consider it's self lucky that Hershey's vomit food never invaded it's shores :)
YES!!
We do have Hersheys it's just very pricey and sold in certain demographic areas.. lol
And we have most of the Coke Variations...We have Coffee infused and one point and vanilla Coke to..We have coke zero,light, Diet Coke with stavia (sp)
We have Hershey’s’s but they are like r200
I live in South Africa so when they said dove was chocolate I was so confused because dove chocolate is not in South Africa I thought they meant dove lotion and soap😂
In India cornflakes are usually called Cornflakes or Kellogg's and we have Chocos too so we call it that. And regarding the Good Humour, Ola thing we call it Kwality Walls, that's the brand name. Dove chocolate is something that I've never seen but if you look at the texture it looks like what the British girl said, it's called Galaxy here as well. For us, Dove is more of a shampoo and soap brand.
last time i checked, we don’t have frosted flakes/frosties in south africa (or at least in cape town where i’m from). whenever i go overseas, it’s literally my favorite thing. i wish we had it here
Wait, as an aussie I was confused because I thought dove was a Deodorant brand... it is, I just checked but I have never ever heard of dove being chocolate
It is and has always been a Deodorant or a bird
I thought it was soap and I’m an Aussie
@@Bestiebooboogurls I think it's both... maybe
@@elie1468 I googled it and it’s called galaxy in Australia but I’ve never heard of it
@@Bestiebooboogurls neither
Same
It's interesting how globalised firms keep the name of the brands they buy in those contries.
We do have Hersheys in South Africa though🤣🤣🤣they just sell them at importing candy stores
In Dutch the icecream is called Ola as well and together with Luxembourg, Belgium and Portugal (Olá) we’re the only ones in Europe as there’s a looooot of names. Frisko, Frigo, Langnese, Miko, lusso, Eskimo, GB Glace 😆
In South Africa we say Coke Light. Funny enough, if the brand becomes synonymous with a particular product, the product in question will be forever known by that brand's name (as well as the given product name, like Bakers' Lemon Creams) regardless of whether it's produced by a different brand. The brand Sparletta produces a wide variety of flavoured brightly coloured soft drinks, including but not limited to: Sparberry, Pineapple, Gingerbeer and Cream Soda. The Cream Soda version is so popular that with it's distinctive green colouring, nobody even calls it a "Sparletta" anymore, cuz the only other brand that makes Cream Soda here is Frankie's, but it's not nearly as widely popular as the Sparletta version, it's like we don't even need to see the label, cuz if it's bright green and near the Cokes, it's most likely a Cream Soda. The Sparletta Gingerbeer flavour is branded as a Stoney. Regarding Coke Zero, when it was first introduced it was branded as "Coke Zero" or "Coca-Cola Zero", but the name "Coke Zero" has stuck despite them rebranding to "Coke No Sugar". We do often generalize the Coke flavours as just "coke", but there is a large group of people with diabetes and/or high blood pressure, so Coke Zero and Coke Light are often specified as well.
I don't think that works with everything though, 'cause like, if I ask for Ultra Mel and get given some other brand of custard, we're gonna have some issues
In the UK and Cyprus I love Paprika flavored crisps!! Also love chocolate covered Digestives!!!
In Germany Paprika is the most common flavor regardless of brand (besides simply salted ones). It’s as prevalent here as salt & vinegar flavored chips in the UK or bbq ones stateside. I remember being shocked that there are no Paprika flavored Pringles when I moved to the States 😂
You gotta try Lay's lightly salted in the light blue bag.
The regular ones in the yellow bag taste too greasy and oily since they switched to a "healthier oil" to cook them in.
The lightly salted are perfect for getting more of that potato flavor.
Here in Portugal the ice cream brand is called Olá, just like in South Africa. Olá means "hello" in portuguese
I am curious... we have here, in Brazil, a company with the same logo. Its name is "Kibon". I don't know if it's a brazilian brand for the same thing.
And in spanish
@@its.me.khanyo in Spanish it’s spelled hola.
Coke , Diet Coke , Light Coke , Sprite , Soda , Fresh Drink , Soft Drink , Cooler , Refrigeratory , too many words actually , i also can say just "Coca-Cola"
I just call it Cola
I'm a Pepsi drinker so I just call it Pepsi lol 🙈😆 I do love Vanilla Coke though 😁❤️ XxXxX
i call it cold drank
I’m from the south, everything is coke except sprite. Sprite is sprite
yes sprite is different 🤣😂
But what about Fanta and Appletiser?
The ice cream one is so interesting, it has so many different names in different countries. Here in Austria we call it Eskimo and in Germany it's called Langnese. As a child I used to eat almost all their ice creams and popsicles, but these days I mostly only get a Magnum, Twinni or Cornetto.
We have an ice cream called Eskimo in the USA too.
in india we call it kwality wall's. so yeah ig it has a lot of names for different countries
In Sweden it’s GB glass 🙈
in the Netherlands it's called Ola
In Turkey it’s called Algida!
That Ice cream logo we have the same in Sweden but we call it GB Glace
In Brazil we call it Coke Zero and it comes from zero sugar, the can is also different, it's got black accents instead of white. There used to be light and diet cokes but I haven't seen one since the early 2000s...
Just like in South Africa, it used to be common here in the southern USA for people to call any soda a "coke" no matter which brand you were talking about. Younger generations don't really do that anymore. It's more likely that one would ask for a "cold drink."
Most Louisianans I know say cold drink. My grandparents were from Alabama and they called all sodas as “drink” no matter what kind it is.
Ok, y'all, did some Googling on the Chocolate-Soap conundrum...
Dove Chocolate was created in Chicago in 1939. It became wildly successful and was eventually acquired by Mars in the 1950s. Mars decided to keep the branding as "Dove" In the US, but then created their own Galaxy branding for distribution in the UK and other countries.
As for Dove Soap, that was invented in the 1940s by an American chemist and became a company in the mid-50s, around the same time Mars bought the chocolate. Seems to be a situation of two separate brands that rose to prominence at the same time in completely different industries.
From NZ a brand that represents us is the Witherlea hills wine hand made in Blenheim (Where I used to live!)
Interesting! I’m not a Kiwi myself but I worked for some time in NZ & I‘d have said L&P or Whittaker‘s straight away. But being German I rather drink beer than wine 😂 even though NZ has some great wines!
Tbh the only way I got a Hersheys bar in South Africa was in the candy/slushie section in the willy Wonka part at Carnival city
In Mexico, Lays is Sabritas. Frosted Flakes is Zucaritas (meaning the sugary ones 😋) The ice cream is Holanda (no h sound) similar to South Africa
The ice cream brand is Ola in Belgium too!
Ola is the Dutch name Unilever uses for the brand.
On the Wikipedia page it lists 25 different brand names. And in Finland the logo is blue not red.
"Coke, for us is coke, no matter what the kind of coke, coke is always coke". Underrated thought N phrase 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤭🤭🤭💛💛💛🌼🌼🌼🌼😉
So accurate. In New Zealand coke is coke too. We have alot of different types of coke but in general conversation it's just called coke.
I'm an Aussie and this was so fun watching
SA has Hershey's now, it's just not sold on the same commercial level as Cadbury, Lindt or Ferrero Roche
Wall's was founded in 1786 by Richard Wall, when he opened a butcher's stall in St James's Market, London. In the 1900s the business was led by Richard's grandson Thomas Wall II. Every year the company had to lay off staff in the summer as demand for its sausages, pies and meat fell, so in 1913 Thomas Wall II conceived the idea of making ice cream in the summer to avoid those lay-offs
In Australia most places don’t have frosted flakes or hersheys they aren’t very popular
Also we have lays chips as well they are two completely different brands
in the uk for the juice we also call it fizzy juice
Good humor 😂 so funny and low. I never heard of Streets in Australia or may be i missed. Walls yes. Definitely.
Streets is the brand with that heart shape logo design. All the single wrapped ice creams you'd buy from a corner store are generally that brand.
@@emmah3 Too bad I can't remember i had a single ice cream in Australia when i studied there for 4 years! All i remember was Home Brand XD. Im from Malaysia. That red love logo is written Walls instead. No Good Humor though....No Good Humor XD....
Australia does have streets, like the cornetto i think thats streets.
Yeah I'm from South Africa and we just call it coke unless you're looking for a spesifiek type then we would say diet coke
Heartbrand Ice Cream is owned by Unilever and they use the local Ice Cream brand they absorbed in each country
Good Humor, Walls, Ola, Streets ... But also Tio Rico, Pingüino, Miko, Frigo, Eskimo etc. etc.
in Australia we also have coke zero which i see more than diet and i have also seen galaxy chocolate aroud and never dove and dove is a soap brand, i think the galaxy/dove chocolate is mostly imported from us/uk same with hersheys.
The ice cream brand is called Algida in Poland. Now I'm really confused why it's different in different countries.
U.S- Good Humor
U.K- Walls
Australia-Streets
South Africa- Ola
but for us Filipinos, its "Selecta" xD
Here in germany it's langnese. How strange that it's different everywhere
I think in mexico we have something like south africa because we would say "Holanda" the ice cream brand so its kind of familiar for me to hear "Ola" its almost the same so its nostalgic
Eso estaba pensando!
En España es Frigo, tienen un nombre para cada país o qué? Jajaja
Do some germanic languages (English, German, Afrikaans, Icelandic, Norwegian) comparison
Here in Greece, when we say soda, we mean sparkling water. All the sodas are called beverages, in Greek "anapsiktika". Also, Good Humor ice creams are called Algida.
It's Algida in Italy too!
The reason for the different ice cream brand names is that they were all different companies that got bough up by British Unilever. They get to keep their original name but get the Heartbrand logo to show they are all connected.
The Good Humor name came from the belief that a person's "humor", or temperament, was related to the humor of the palate (taste). So the idea was that the ice cream made you happy and less angry. They are apparently the first who came up with the idea of having ice cream on a wooden stick.
Why’s the image pop up after they’ve spoken about it?
the good humor ones we used to call it selecta here in ph
where was this filmed ?
As an Australian, I only know dove as a soap or moisturiser and we do have galaxy chocolate here
In Peru we have Coke Zero. We used to have Diet Coke but for some reason it went away when Coke Zero came.
In my country, Poland, as Lay's we saying it with english pronunciation, but we adding "y" on the end, it's like plural form in polish. To many english words we adding that "y", even if english word is alrwady as plural, we adding our plural form, for example to "chips" we use word "chipsy". :D
And, if I'm correct, Good Humor in my country is as Algida, it have the same heart symbol and I found that both are from Unilever, so.
South African lady is spot on 👍💜
I live in South Africa and I’ve never heard of kellog for the cereal
Same
Dove is also a soap in South Africa
As an Aussie I can guarantee that dove chocolate doesn’t exist in Australia it’s called galaxy but I’ve never heard of it
The only dove I know is moisturiser, soap, deodorant and basically bathroom stuff
Might be regional cause there's dove in wa
We have Lays in Australia, smiths is a different brand
Awesome 😎
As a South African here are some "corrections" (she's not necessarily wrong just maybe forgot a few things/calls things by less common names)
-Popular South African brand I would say is Nando's
-We call diet coke coke light, when someone asks for a coke at a restaurant they will always give you a regular coke. You would have to specify that you want a Coke Light or a Coke Zero
-We call frosted flakes frosties, I don't know anyone who would call them just Kellogg's and I'd imagine most people would be a bit confused if you were to ask for "Kellogg's"
-The heartbrand is Ola and the do make ice cream called "Rich and Creamy" (which is not expensive)
I would just like to add that throughout South Africa we have different dialects and so while what she is saying may seem confusing to me, they could easily make more sense to someone from where she is from
I'm not sure what they're talking about with the ice cream, I've never heard of any of those 😅
For Switzerland (Swiss German):
Diet Coke: Coca-Cola Light (full name), but usually we would just say Cola Light or Coci Light
Soda: Süessgetränk (translates to sweet drink)
McDonalds: McDonalds (Full name), but usually we just say Mac
Burger King: Burger King
Dove: I don‘t think we have that here. We have all the Swiss Chocolates. Here Dove is a brand for skin care, soap and such things.
Lays: I don‘t think we have them here. We have Zweifel instead.
Frosted Flakes: Frosties
Good Humor: Lusso
Dove is also a brand for skin care here in US.
In Germany, it’s the same as with our southern neighbors. Only we usually say Mäcces or Mecces for McDonald’s and the German heart brand variation is Langnese. Also funnily enough, at least where I live, we’d usually say Softdrink but everyone would understand the Swiss German word which is actually more German than the German German word 😂 However, Coci light I’d never have guessed as Cola 😅We do have Lays but it’s not as popular as other brands like funnyfrisch, I‘d say.
❤️❤️❤️
Can you put more New Zealand people
Please
New Orleanians (and plenty other south Louisianians) say “cold drink” [cole drank] when referencing soda. But, “Coke” may also be used to refer to different kinds of soda.
Yes. I’ve heard people in and around NOLA say cold drink a lot. It’s common. Also what people in other parts of the country call the median they call the neutral ground.
In the Philippines, we call the ice cream Selecta and dove is also soap/shampoo (:
When I have bad mood - Christina and Lauren can entertain me
In SA we have dove as a soap and as a funeral parlor 😂😂
Australia has dove soap too.
Lol is it just me or when u saw the dove u thought about the soap 🧼 😆
I’m Australian and for the cold drink we say cool drink
In Sweden we say "Donken" which translates to "The Donk". Which is of course McD.
Funny thing with the ice cream. It comes originally from Germany and there it's still called Langnese. The surname of the founder's biscuit company.
Walls in Italy is "Algida", still completely different :D
In Australia Lays And Smith Chips are different pretty sure unless I just go to asian grocery store too much
When they they were taking about the Herseys I was like what in South Africa we do but it’s a bit new
I'm too
I was so confused when they said Dove is a chocolate because I always thought it was just a shower brand.
I hope you see this comment. I'm an Iranian fan and I love your contents. Please make a video with an Iranian and compare the language or the culture and foods. There are many Iranians living in South Korea. That would be awsome :)
POV your looking for a comment that isn’t talking about South Africa
In indonesia we called mcdonald McDee without s.
Wait walls ice cream in SA called ola? Thats kinda same with either in netherland or german, I forgot but when I was teenager I went to those 2 countries and saw walls called ola (i forgot which one called it ola)
In the Netherlands its called Ola, I am not sure about Germany
@@rudyvb_braids2908 I guess it is netherland, I think it's diff in germany
@@firstofall21 yeah it's ''Langnese'' in german haha.
@@gruezi.miteinander3205 ah thanks for the info lol
That "heartbrand" logo belongs to Unilever, which has been buying well established ice cream companies in each country. In Spain, Unilever bought *Frigo* in 1973, but that brand existed since 1927. Nowadays has almost 30% of Spain market, as its major rival is the swiss brand Nestlé based in local *Camy* and *Miko* bought in the 60's, owns another 55% of the market.
Scenario [very true]
America: McDonalds
Britain: Mackie
Australia: Maccas
South Africa: McD's
[ROBLOX COMMUNITY] Databrawl: McDod
How is Subaru mate
In Brazil good humor is called kibon
You guys should do one of these videos with an Indian person.
🇿🇦 And we call those frosties, corn flakes.
The whole thing about Hershey's process is not that it's "low quality" per se, regardless of cocoa solids in the finished product. It's the taste: their process makes something called butyric acid which gives it a very smooth, melty consistency but... for non-Americans not raised eating it makes it taste like.... sick. Butyric acid is also found in sick, so a lot of non-Americans who try it don't like it. I was raised on it and I no longer like it (too sweet in addition to the acid thing). The European method gets a slightly rougher texture but a smoother taste. (To me, anyway.)
In India Hershey’s is seen as Luxury chocolate that people bring back from
Abroad and is seen as generally superior than Cadbury or Nestle. Plus Hershey’s I feel is better anyway. Maybe it must European elitists Who always wanna compare themselves to America that say Hershey’s is sick. Hershey’s is amazing especially their “Kisses” and those Mini chocolates.
So what you’re saying is that it’s found in vomit (“sick” as a noun = British slang for vomit). I had to look that one up.
@@StuartSimon Yeah I assumed he meant vomit when he said "sick", but I never heard it called that before.
Omg I love the South African girl
In New Zealand I’ve never heard of Dove brand chocolate; I t’s Whittikers or Cadbury. For Coke, we have Diet Coke, but we also used to have Coke Zero and Coke No Sugar, but they are changing those two into a single called Coke Zero Sugar, which I am not fond of any of them. It’s just plain Coke / Coca-Cola for me.
Chips/crisps are usually Bluebird, Ripples or Eta, we don’t really have that Lays/Walkers brand here, only in the Chinese supermarkets really.
