Red Bull was developed in corporation with Chaleo Yoovidhya, the creator of Krating Daeng, and the Yoodvidhya family actually owns 51% of the Red Bull company. that's how they are "getting away" with it. both companies are simply owned by the same people. also, Krating Daeng means "red gaur" - a bovine native to South-East Asia.
Also, the "UK" version is actually Austrian.
Exactly @@Zelmel
Dietrich Mateschitz adapted it for the European/American markets but never changed the branding or really even the name since it's as close to a literal translation as possible. The thing he brought to Red Bull was the marketing, first as a party drink for students and then through extreme sports.
Red Bull allows your grandchildren to get away with running down a policeman.
How did they not know that (or bother to google Red Bull's history before recording) 🤣
The comic timing of Ebbers telling Baz which way to vom swiftly followed by the impromptu 7UP explosion had me crying laughing 🤣
I came searching for this comment cause I just had to pause the video to deal with me literally crying laughing 😂🤣
Pretty sure Ben's comment didn't help either! It prompted just the tiniest bit of a laugh, which gave way to all the rest! 😂
I rewatched that moment so many times that I forgot what the video was supposed to be about.
I need you boys to know that when the marmite was revealed, me and my partner (both Aussie) immediately started chanting "VEGEMITE, VEGEMITE, VEGEMITE" and then cheered like our bloody sports team won a game when vegemite was revealed.
Ben's mispronunciation of Muay Thai as Mai Tai has me picturing a martial art based on cocktails. 🤣
Hey, I've had a few too many Tiki drinks and gotten a little too rowdy.... maybe thats what they're alluding to?
A sport I could get behind😂
I believe that's called Flair 'Tending
martial art based on cocktails?
Drunken master Wushu? :D
Drunken kick boxing. Seen plenty of pissed idiots attempting that martial art after a night out.
6:30 cheeky Ben sneaking a kit kat there 😂
I missed that, you’ve got some sharp eyes!!
I saw that too
I saw that too and was waiting for the boys to call him out, haha! I went back to check, I think it might have been the wheat one?
Benjamin "Fast Fingers" Ebberell
We all saw it Ben
😂😂😂 that spontaneous challenge failure from Barry was pure comedy gold.
I almost peed my pants laughing.
Everyone here must be 12.
Vegemite has such a stronghold in Australia. There’s a classic line in the original puberty blues movie where the girl is home sick and the Mum’s instant reaction is to offer her “Vegemite toast and a cup of tea?”. We have cheeseymite scrolls (Vegemite and cheese) in our big chain bakery stores, and it’s offered as a condiment at every cafe or
hotel brekky. Even on our hospital breakfast trays. We’re happy little Vegemites as bright as bright can be 🙃
you forgot also at Mc dolands with the free huney and jam till they stoped doing that
'm in canada now, and Cobbs (the Canadian Bakers Delight), does a pesto scroll (in place of vegemite). It's close but not the same
Men At Work, "Down Under":
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
i dont eat vegemite often, but when i do, i love a good cheese and vegemite sandwich.
And we have all sorts of Vegemite flavoured items, Kraft singles being the first that comes to mind.
Lol - every Australian going NO NO NO NO NO watching Ben spreading out Vegemite for Barry. And then going 'whoa' when no one spat it out. Well done gentlemen - that probably makes you honorary Aussies.
They grew up eating marmite and bovril. Used to salty, dark brown spreads.
I wanna know where was the butter! Toast with melted butter and Vegemite is Sunday breakfast of KINGS ❤
Yeah but the thing is that marmite is stronger
Marmite, the British one, is the original 😂 we know it better than the Aussies
You can keep your vegemite it's awful. Marmite thickly spread on hot buttered toast - delicious.
Watching Jamie eat that marmite will be the best thing I watch all week. 😂
I have the same face when forced to eat it. My mum who loves it, would always say we had to eat it ‘it’s nice, you do like it’ which we did NOT
Jamie, thank you.. I know I don't need to eat it.
I'm so glad I watched the entire video.
When i was a kid we called them "yukky sandwiches" as in "Jims mum gave us yukky sandwiches for lunch"
Close to barrie burfing (barfing/burping) the 7up 🤣🤣
Jamie’s reaction to Marmite is a silent movie in itself.
😂
Vegemite smells like burning tire rubber and dog food. Tastes...Like that, but with a ramen seasoning packet mixed in. Blech.
Jamie's evil lil laugh when he broke the kit-kat weirdly gave me such a good giggle given that's what I do when I cause chaos :'D
I literally feel there are only a few channels I actually enjoy that aren't depressing and that actually lift my spirits. Y'all are one of them. You don't know how much your videos help my mental health. Even if I don't cook anything you make, your banter and lightheartedness pull me from the deepest, darkest depths. Laughing at a time like that is priceless. Thanks for continuing to post. ❤
I too watch the sorted lads when I'm in a bad place mentally, always light hearted and you can't help but smile along with them! Hope your having a good mental health day today!
Barry doing food challenges without throwing up series when?
Ohhhhh YYYYEEESSSSSSSSSSS - I SECOND THAT ONE! Full menu of Surstömming, 7up to down it and Durian for dessert....
Eat a banana then drink a Sprite and try to keep it down
If they are to do surströmming again they must first make sure that the can is transported cold - it is supposed to be refrigerated, and second that they eat it with the correct accompaniments.
@@mikeljenkswhen he said the 7 up challenge my mind went to the 2 banana and 2 litres of sprite that professional eaters do.
Because watching some be sick will make me sick as well, and i dont feel.like vomitting b.c you have some mental sickness for liking that content.
Barry doing the 7up challenge was unexpected and I am so glad it was included in the video. That was hilarious!
As a Norwegian, I've never had a KitKat. It's simply not marketed over here, as the market was already taken by our own version Kvikk Lunsj.
As a lifelong KitKat lover in the US, the quality of chocolate in ours has gone down hill in recent years. Hopefully the ones in other countries are still better quality.
@@rachelp2468the kvikk-lunsj is miles better, always has been :)
I’ve had both kitkat and kvikk lunsj, but kvikk lunsj is just superior because we have better chocolate in norway!
Catchy name! Simply rolls off the tongue. ;)
@@MagikGimp It's in Norwegian 😂
As an Australian, I applaud Ben for spreading the correct amount of Vegemite as opposed to every American late night show that eats entire spoon fulls.
I seriously thought Aussies knew vegemite was a version of the British original…Marmite
So then was the Australian that introduced me to it fucking with me? Because she SLATHERED it on everything we tasted Vegemite on. I didn't hate it, but MAN was it too intense the way I had it.
@MissingmyBabbu I feel like with any unique food from another country you shouldn't introduce it in huge amounts.
@@RedDevil_Joe We do - we just don't care and can't be bothered mentioning it.
They're not quite the same - share some common ingredients and have the same flavour intentions, but they are distinctly different taste and texture wise.
It’s nice to see the casual sit down format again. I see that table and I’m assured no one’s under duress. Unless it’s their taste buds or something.
But can you be sure they aren't under dressed? They could be totally naked from the waste down and we wouldn't even know.
As an Australian who loves Vegemite, I immediately noticed how much more liquid Marmite was. Vegemite is really nice with cheese or avocado on toast.
I hadn't realised (or remembered) how like Promite Marmite is.
while watching this video, my computer started lagging all through the marmite vs vegemite segment. Jamie's frozen faces were priceless.
They should be on T-shirts.
When my mom was a kid, she grew up in the extreme NW corner of Minnesota. At the time KitKat wasn’t available in the States. One of her aunts was the postmistress at a post office in a border town. In the summer when visiting her aunt, she would walk across the border into Canada and buy KitKats.
There is a Marmite in NZ, it is very different to British Marmite. In NZ it contains caramel. In NZ UK Marmite is sold in the same jar and lable except it is sold as Our mate.
Yes I wish they had done NZ marmite! I moved to the UK for a while and tried their marmite and was so confused
@@serenemolly What is the taste difference? the UKs one looks so runny
Aussie marmite is more closely aligned to vegemite, than British marmite
Yeah definitely need to feature some NZ marmite/NZ products. I think our marmite is really interesting and not often featured.
NZ marmite is just gross, sweet and gross. Vegemite is the best.
Vegemite (spread thinly) on toast (with butter), eaten with eggs-fried, scrambled, or poached.
Breakfast perfection at any time of day or night!
Mix with butter and use as a basting sauce for roast chicken. It's phenomenal 😍
Vegemite and peanut butter on toast is excellent too!
I don't bother spreading it thinly. I could eat it by the spoon. It has had a decades long absence from my life, because I moved to the Netherlands as a kid and could only get it whenever I visited the UK. It would take years for me to finish the bottle (it one of those things that never go off). Then I found a store in the Netherlands, but had to travel a bit. Luckily, there's an expat store now in the neighborhood and I can get it there.😋🤩
Vegemite, avocado, chicken and cheese toasted open face
It's great added to soups and stews too.
08:05 jamies reaction to „do, do“ is so hilarious😂😂
he's such a dad lol
I do the same thing every time. Childish amusement 😅 doo-doo
Barry's obsession with Marmite is magical. As a USA viewer (that didn't develop our own version) I appreciate Barry's love of Marmite.
Isn't Promite a US version of Marmite? It's a similar yeast/black breakfast spread type thing, but sweeter imo
@@simbryce4475 nah mate, promite is also Australian
@@simbryce4475 Nope. We got nothin' like it. Or at least it's not popular. I'm sure there are yeast spreads here... somewhere, but not at chain grocery stores.
I love that KitKat is a goodlucks charm, cause Kitto Katsu (きっと勝つ) sounds so cute but Japan basically has a flavor for every person which makes it that much more sentimental
Even cuter, each bar has a little space on the back that you can write the person's name on it, just to personalize it that extra little bit
Ben really butchered the pronunciation. 😂
@@Qrofol That's uncalled for 😕
As a Kiwi I was so disappointed that when you lifted the closh on the vegemite that it wasn't New Zealand Marmite. I do highly recommend comparing NZ Marmite to UK Marmite and AU Vegemite. I imagine it tastes perhaps closer to the UK Marmite, but has the texture of the AU Vegemite. People here in NZ are so obsessed with our Marmite that when the Sanitarium (brand who makes Marmite) factory had to close due to earthquake damage in 2012 all the newspapers were screaming about "Marmageddon" and stories about ludicrous sales of Marmite on the blackmarket. For reference, a 500g jar would be $7.19, but was then found to be sold in one instance for $1110! This wasn't an isolated case either. They have since reopened their factory and it's all good again but people went absolutely hysterical.
yeah i was not impressed by that either, especially when they didnt even mention it, sure their research team is not that bad?
I was disappointed too. Definitely hoping for a three-way face off! UK vs AUS vs NZ. They are all so different yet similar in the way that they divide the room
I always feel like a bad kiwi for preferring Vegemite, but it did mean it was fine during marmageddon!
NZ Marmite is closely related to axle grease. Both in taste and texture, a whole jar of wrong
Ahh! Feels like a blast from the past. Just thinking about Marmageddon and how we as a whole country just wents nuts about not getting marmite!
There is a NZ Marmite that is different from both. The factory shut down in the Christchurch earthquake and lead to hoarding it like gold for a while.
Jamie's Cat No Banana faces over the marmite/vegemite killed me
Jamie, the faces you made trying to eat the marmite and vegemite made me laugh out loud. 😂 Just perfect!
Omg I was watching this at the gym and tripped on the treadmill because I was laughing so hard at Barry! 😂
Jamie, over here the jingle in the 90s went : “Gimmie a break! Gimmie a break! Break me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!”
Others may know the tune in the US as "Break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast!"
iykyk
@@MrCocoloco FOR THE WIN, SIR! *hands MrCocoloco a gold yogurt lid attached to daisy-chained paper clips.
I recited that immediately!
That’s going to be stuck in my head for days.
I'm glad Barry mentioned soft cheese with Vegemite. A classic school sandwich, at least in the 80s, was a Vegemite and cheese sandwich, the cheese of choice usually being Kraft Singles. Sitting in the hot summer Aussie sun, the cheese melted slightly as well. Even today, at 51, I love a Vegemite and a Kraft Singles slice on hot buttered toast for brekky (breakfast).
Me too. Vegemite and processed cheese - breakfast of champions.
An old coworker of mine regularly visited Japan, and always brought back big packs of different kinds of Kitkats for everyone. It was the best
It’s always been interesting to me how brands have to slightly alter their products to suit the different pallets and tastes around the world
Same here! Super interesting.
Thank you for keeping the 7-Up challenge in the video. I was almost crying from laughter 😂
As a New Zealander, I am so offended that you guys didn't try NZ Marmite which has a texture in between British Marmite and the Australian vegemite. However I still thoroughly enjoyed the video.
New Zealand Marmite is apparently different too.
According to my Father UK Marmite has changed over the years as Lager became more popular. I do remember the London Pride Marmite being different.
I love the stuff, so expensive in the US... (Even though so many chefs use ut in cooking)
I was unaware Japanese Kit Kats came in flavours like "Steak", "Bacon" and "Chorizo" to appeal to the Spaff demographic
As soon as Barry started describing how to eat a kit kat I felt so validated. That's EXACTLY how I do it. He's right, it's the best way. 😂
We had Macha and Raspberry Kit 10:17 Kat bars in the shop I work at. It was a limited time. Most of them expired and I was the one that had to destroy them all.🙂🇨🇦
1:18 Barry is having problems there guys!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What gives you that impression? 🤣
@@SortedFood a hunch 🤣🤣🤣
@@danielsantiagourtado3430 your instincts are top notch😆
Now tell him Diet Coke and Mentos are a little known flavour combination
Gonna need this as a reaction gif
Vegemite does work well with Cheese.
Do a grilled Cheese but put vegemite on the bread. It's amazing.
A grilled cheese and some bouliion is nice, so I guess this would work as well.
It's also fantastic as a flavour enhancer in risotto. A tablespoon of vegemite in the pan as the stock is absorbing will do wonders
Or even better, through the Vegemite in the bin and use some of the proper stuff!
Watching this after eating a Vegemite grilled cheese ✌️
More of these please it was really fun!
8:04 J laughing at Ebbers saying "do do" lol he's such a dad
Jamie: Breaks KitKat
Barry: *Weird noises that I have yet to decipher*
Pretty sure that was the sound of part of Barry’s soul dying
For the real story of Vegemite you have to read Terry Pratchett’s The Last Continent 😂
Fantastic comment! No worries, No worries 🦘
She'll be right. No worries.
No worries indeed. Btw, they got Nanny Ogg's Cookbook as a Christmas present. I'm looking forward to a video covering the book, perhaps?
@DizzyBusy I would absolutely LOVE that!
@@DizzyBusy That is great video idea. I want see that 😄
This is such a fun video! I learned a lot of things, thanks SortedFood!
If Spaff likes the experimental KitKat flavours, there's plenty to find (JP only usually, though). Apart from the sake one that Ebbers mentioned, I recall red wine, soy sauce, wasabi (not too spicy), strawberry + red bean, and a creme brulee one that was designed to be lightly toasted before eating.
The correct way to eat a Kit Kat is take a bite getting a piece of all four sticks (across the grain) just to annoy your friends.
😡
Psychopath like my wife…
And eaten like a banana while most of it is still in the package. Only an animal touches food with their hands.
@@toolbaggersthis man eats bread with a knife and fork.
What sort of antisocial behaviour is this? Next you'll be telling me you bite into a mandarin like eating an apple.
07:03 Of course that's how Jamie eats a KitKat. That evil laugh. I had the exact same reaction as Barry.
Vegemite was re- named "Parwill" at one point in history in competition with Marmite. The catch phrase being "if Ma might, then Pa will" Terrible pun.😂
I was told there was a competition to fund the name of the Australian yeast extract spread, and "Parwill" was a strong contender, but "Vegemite" eventually won out.
@rachelwoodcraft3783 You may well be right. I just happened to be reading the Wikipedia page for vegemite last week, in reasearch for a video, and it said the name was changed for a period. Wikipedia's not always the best source of factual information though 😊
American here. I've bought both Marmite and Vegemite to experiment with. Marmite spread on warm toast -- crucially, with butter! -- is a good breakfast, actually tastes good if you get over the childish impulse to spread it on thick. Both work as bouillon for broth or stock, but I like the Vegemite better that way. Mostly I would prefer to add nutritional yeast to my food over either, though.
Would love a series on dishes that have been influenced by elsewhere or even come from elsewhere, but are now viewed as local to the UK
Tea, sugar, chips, kebabs, curry and even black pepper came to be British through conquest and genocide.
Wouldn't that just be all of Northern Indian food? 😅
Red Bull Austria is part owned by the original Thai company and the drink is licensed by the Thai company too. Dietrich Mateschitz partnered with the owner, who is 51% shareholder I believe.
Other way around. The Thai business man owns 51% and didi owned 49%. Didi passed though October 2022, not sure who is the new owner of those shares
@@EvLSpectreDietrich’s son took over his shares
@@EvLSpectre yeah that's what I meant. The Thai business owner, Yoohvidhya, owned 51%. My phrasing was just a bit ambiguous😂
Yea ended up checking who took over shares right after and left a comment about it. Though RB is more marketing company now than drinks almost. Haha
@@EvLSpectreIt always was.
When I used to live in Japan I would try to get all the new flavours of everything that would come out, specially Kit-Kat, my favorites were the ones that would come in easter, the banana flavour ones!
I am Canadian... I love you guys so much. I whish we could do such a thing, where everyone is honest and not trying to be more than they are. Ebbers what are you putting in your pocket here ? You guys are my absolute favorite brits bloke. You are just the sweetest people. How the F you manage that ? If it was done in a Canadian way. The weak guy, would be considered gay. I absolutely love how all you guys accept your weaknesses and you all love each other. Real friendship. That is amazing to me. You all embrace each others strenght and weaknesses. I love you blokes!
100% agree with Barry's way of eating a KitKat. I do it that way every time!
I think you could make a whole yeast episode. In Germany I once bought a drink called Vitamalz. It tasted a lot like marmite. When it's room temperature it smells and tastes like a compost heap, when it's cold it's really sweet tasty and more-ish. Really fascinating!
I'm an American that wasn't raised with Marmite or Vegemite. In high school we had an Australian foreign exchange student who brought Vegemite for us to sample. I loved it from first bite.
Fast forward several decades and the internet let me buy Vegemite online, yum! Fast forward again and our local grocery store started carrying Marmite.
I prefer the flavor of Marmite but the texture of Vegemite. They need to invent MegeVarmite.
As a Thai myself, I want to share the history of Red Bull.
Red Bull was first started in Thailand since 1975 with the same product that you have in this video. After that, an Austrian billionaire founded a new company together with the Thai owner, Chaleo Yuwidraya. The export version in the aluminium can was created afterward for the international market.
Barry eats a Kitkat the way I eat it. Except that after the sides, I go layer by layer.
Same that is the only correct way
The ONLY way to eat a KitKat!
have you tried ferrero duplo? much easier to eat with this technique.
What you need to try is Cenovis- the Swiss version of Marmite! It's gentler, softer, much less of a kick in the teeth. It always makes me think of the bottom of a ready-salted crisp packet. Comes in tubes or in pots, and it's ICONIC here. So good on bread with butter. Invented 1931.
Wow you just hit me with nostalgia! I went to Japan back in May last year and I also came back with a huge variety box of Japanese Kit Kats that I brought into work for everyone to enjoy.
Suffice to say, they were VERY popular and the contents of the box was polished off in the space of a few hours!
I asked our tour guide the best place to buy them and she recommended a place called “Don Quixote”.
She was right and I had a bought a bunch of Kit-Kat products!
I wonder if Jamie purchased his stash from there also.
The vegemite/Marmite segment was so funny to me because when my Aussie friend brought me vegemite, she said the trick was, don't slather it on. Just use a thin layer, on buttered toast. Here comes Barry with that absolute schmear of Marmite 😅 But of course she meant for when you arent used to the flavor, so it was Jamie I was concerned for. I love to use it the way Sorted uses miso, to add a bit of umame depth to sweet things
The first time I tried Vegemite was about 25 years ago in a backpacker hostel in Turkey which was run by an Australian couple (and 99% of the guest were from Australia too). The breakfast consisted of just 3 items: slightly burnt toast, milk tea and Vegemite. I can't say that I liked it. Same goes for Marmite: I was introduced to this "treat" almost 40 years ago in the UK, when my girlfriend and I stayed at a B&B in Nottinghamshire and the lovely old landlady insisted that we should have it for breakfast because "it will help you with those things that young couples do when the light is switched off" (I will never forget her wink when she put generous amounts of Marmite on our toast). Lately I started to like Marmite (Vegemite is not so easy to find here in Germany) but I usually eat it with something fruity like quince jelly or lemon curd.
How or where could one find Vegemite in Germany?
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 I cant answer that question. But if you are not far away from Switzerland, you can get cenovis there, which is like marmite.
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 I don't know if it's still sold there but I found them in my local Edeka... And I think when it was still Real, that one had it, too. In my region it was Vegemite over Marmite in terms of availability. I like neither, so I haven't looked for it for a few years now..
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 either on amazon or in some of the world's cuisine type of stores / aisles. There are also some Australian food / items specialty stores in Frankfurt and Münster and probably in other cities, I imagine in Berlin or München you could find anything.

Episodes like this will always remind me of why Baz is my favorite. 😂😂 So chaotic. Also explaining the best way to eat a Kit-Kat! Yes!
Exactly, who doesn't eat a kit kat that way?!
South Africa also has Marmite, but also another yeast extract spread called Bovril. It is a toned-down marmite. You should try it!
I have a Korean friend who shared multi-flavoured kit-kat's with me. We have only had the original milk chocolate here in the States until a couple of years ago when they expanded to dark and white chocolate. They do come in all shapes and sizes, though!
Great video, i think you should expand the series to cover different version of the same item. E.g. New Zealand Marmite, Australian Promite, MightyMite, AussieMite, OzEmite, German Vitam-R, and Swiss Cenovis.
If mad scientist was a profession I feel Ben would be right at home with it.
Just with the way he takes such delight with explaining things, while some of the things he says with such a straight face.
Awesome video guys! The blueberry muffin kikat is my favourite!💜
Baz gave a whole new meaning to "Make 7 Up Yours"
@ 8:06 jamie lost his composure at the words do do lol
I was waiting for someone else to comment this lol 😂
Marmite FTW :-) I'm from South Africa and we grew up with Marmite, Oxo and Bovril spreads ... after school toast, one with any of the aforementioned spreads and the second with fish paste, Redro or Peck's .. yummmm
Another lemon drink from Australia is called SOLO and it is low carbonated 'So you Can Slam it Down'.
Ah, someone who knows how to eat a KitKat. Ends, sides, middle. Exactly like the Coffee Crisp technique. Bravo Barry.
Barry's hubris gets him again 😂 "surely"
In Canada 7up and Pepsi are both sweeter and flatter than Sprite or Coca Cola. My favourite candy bar is a Coffee Crisp but I often default to a Kit Kat if I want a hit of stronger chocolate. We also have a local favourite chocolate bar called a Cuban Lunch which was discontinued for years until the recipe was bought and it is again produced for all of those that grew up loving it.
the way barry eats the kit kat, he clearly needs ferrero duplo in his life! it is much easier and satisfying to eat the ends, sides and top part of the duplo first before eating the wafer part. this is why i never thought about eating a kit kat that way.
Hey Gen your style is getting so distinct! It looks good!
The thai red bull used to be consumed by night bus drivers in Thailand, to keep them awake for the long overnight trip. After several still went to sleep, whilst driving (hence causing really bad accident), it was "banned".
That's super interesting!
I have also seen it used by many taxi drivers in Thailand.
It comes in 8 or twelve packs. After six my heartrate was a million a minute😂
Redbull in Nepal when consumed gives a positive result in the breathalyzer.
@@_ashraya_ Did you really have to say it has to be consumed? I don't think anybody would think they would fail a breathalyzer by merely holding a unopened can in their hands.
Watching Jamie do the marmite/vegemite taste test was the highlight of the video for me 🤣
You should try New Zealand Marmite! It's much nicer than the UK version. A few years back the earthquakes in Christchurch damaged the production factory and there was a shortage of Marmite across NZ, so people started buying/selling Marmite online for hundreds of dollars. It was a national catastrophe!
Ben sneakily pocketing a KitKat had me cackling xD
2:50 "Chatpat ka taste" the "ka" directly translates to "of" so that statement essentially means "taste of chatpat" and "chatpat"is used to describe a tangy-spicy sort of taste.
Considering how much Ireland uses 7UP when we're sick, it's kind of funny that made Barry throw up a bit. It's definitely way too fizzy to chug.
Yes, but it has to be FLAT 7-up! 🇮🇪
Wow, the Irish are posh! In the UK (or at least my house) it was always flat own brand lemonade.
Another great video and interesting to see comparable products from around the world.
My favorite of the KitKats from Japan was the Rum Raisin that I got on a trip back in 2019.
As a pom living in Australia for over 20 years, I was brought up on Marmite, there is a Australian version of Marmite called mymate. Great that you mentioned cheese going with vegemite as we have a version called cheesymite which is a combination of vegemite and cheese spread, also all bakers over here in Australia also do cheese andvegemite scrolls which are to die for.
My mate is the dick Smith knock off of vegemite
Lmao! You know it's going to be a fun video when it leads off with Barry going for it that quickly.
Quote of the Day: “I have a feeling my relationship with 7UP now will haunt me for the rest of my life.”
Accurate 😂
Fun fact, Marmite hasn't been seen in Canada since the start of the pandemic and Vegemite is illegal in Canada
Not true re Vegemite. It's interesting though - seems a lot of people think it is. A quick google search shows that it isn't and can in fact be bought there or imported.
There is a kiwi Marmite which is much closer to British Marmite! Would definitely recommend giving that a whirl because there's a difference between Vegemite and Marmite here in NZ!
That's interesting. Is it a Marmite product or a different brand altogether?
@@DizzyBusy it's created by a brand called Sanitarium but you can get typically British marmite, it just trades under a different name. The NZ marmite is quite similar texture to Vegemite but lots of people prefer marmite I would say!
@@DizzyBusy It's a different brand, made by Sanitarium who bought the rights for the Australasian region, with a slightly changed recipe. It seems to be less potent. You can get it in the UK under the name of 'NZ-mite'. Marmite is available Down Under under the name 'Our Mate'.
In Switzerland, our "marmite" is called "cenovis" and you either love or hate it (I love it).
Interesting!
In Australia, cenovis is a kind of multivitamin tablet range lol
@@nikijade8317 Really interesting to know, thanks for sharing that.
I love how Ebbers just pocketed one kit-kat for himself XD
I fell for the Mint KitKat HARD. To the point, I even ordered a retailer box of the things and that was me sorted for a month or two...
Definitely my favorite flavor of KitKat
Awesome, a fellow extreme connoisseur. I did that with Cadbury Creme eggs. I think it was 48 in the box, you know the ones they always had on the counter top near the till of every paper shop. Took me 3 days to eat them. 🤢 Took me several years to eat one again after that. This was back in the 90's before Cadbury sold out and ruined their chocolate by making it cheap tasting crap. Kind of felt like the first time you get seriously drunk on cider or Thunderbird and vow to never drink it again. The thought makes your tummy turn over.
Regarding 7up, whenever I visited family in the UK, coming from Canada, I remember being |so| confused when I would order a lemonade and be served a 7up.
Depending on where you were visiting in the UK, lemonade can be a catch all term for a fizzy drink but if it was specifically something called lemonade you were being given, then it wasn’t actually 7Up. As 7Up is lemon and lime and we do have a drink called lemonade that looks like 7Up or Sprite but is only lemon flavoured. We also have a carbonated version of cloudy lemonade, in some shops you can get the traditional still and cloudy lemonade and sometimes you can even get the likes of pink or raspberry lemonade which too is still and cloudy but coloured by whichever fruit has been added to the recipe.
@@lynnejamieson2063 It came in a 7up bottle
@@Psyforged so it was just the catch all term for a fizzy drink but the lemon and lime flavoured drink.
*edit* or just someone who wasn’t paying enough attention or maybe didn’t realise that 7Up was lemon and lime.
@@lynnejamieson2063 And no matter where you are in the US - if you ask for lemonade you'll get a non-fizzy drink made with lemon (or just lemon juice), sugar and water. Taste will vary depending on the ratio of the ingredients - but it's always good. Especially on a hot summer day.
@@jeandiatasmith4512 yeah, I know it’s like the word pudding. They each describe one single type of food/drink in the US but in the UK for both it’s tagged onto multiple things and we just grow up learning what they’re referencing via context…and yet are slightly baffled by the fact the rest of the world doesn’t get it 😳
6:30 Am i the only one who saw Ebbers hide a Kitkat in his Pocket from the others so he wouldn't have to share it? 😅
I noticed that as well 😂
@@srishtikhurana4487 but tbh he was pretty sneaky with it 😂
Kit Kats are gifted as good luck gifts for students at exam time in Japan.
So Ben was right about the gift culture for kit kats in japan, but it actually has to do less with limited editions as far as time but more location! When traveling it is typical to return with Omiyage or souvenirs for family and friends and these tend to be local delicacies, there is a whole market surrounding this culture. Kit Kats have capitalized by having their flavours localized to specific prefectures, cities, and even train stations!
I was wondering if you guys could do a electric tea kettle and maybe other appliances care episode. How do you clean them since you can't wash it in the sink and other items like that maybe a coffee machine and other basic kitchen equipment. ( Especially a tea kettle one for people who don't live in the UK that don't have as much experience with one )
Just stir a couple of tablespoons of citric acid (powdered) into recently boiled water in your kettle and leave it for 30-60 mins. It will disolve limescale better than practically anything. The fact it is a safe cooking ingredient, means that you don't have to do anything other than rinse it out. You can repeat the treatments as needed. The outside can just be wiped down. I've cleaned my kettles/water heaters like this for years.
