A Hershey's "chocolate bar" is not allowed to be called a chocolate bar in the UK due to its low standard of ingredients. Its label says "Milk Chocolate Flavour Candy". In the UK, chocolate has to atleast contain around 20% cocoa to be called a chocolate bar. Hershey's is around 11%
They're eating Hershey's purchased in the uk. Hershey’s does adjust its recipe for different markets, including the UK. Whilst produced in america, it's why it states flavour. Also, we have rules for chocolate content in uk that hersheys will need to abide by locally.
The reason is has to say flavour is because it doesn't contain enough cocoa solids to be legally called chocolate. The recipe is kept almost the same for non-american markets but they have changed the process so it no longer uses Butyric acid. If the kids had been given proper US Hersheys the reaction would have been of far more repulsion.
The reason Americans pronounce is Zee instead of Zed is because of the ABC song. The song is from the 1800s, and zed was changed to zee solely to make the song rhyme. This was then used in Websters dictionary too not long after. Thus influencing Americans pronounciation forever
I think you need to relisten to the Hersey's section. They didn't respond well. Their comments included 'old, stale chocolate that's gone off', 'good but not the best', 'steri milk mixed with galaxy'. These are not compliments.

Grammar lesson: In Britain the school year you turn 12 is called Secondary/Senior. Before that age 5-11 is Primary and are divided into Reception, Infant and Junior.
That's not the case in Scotland, so as usual not Britain: England and probably Wales. We just do primary and secondary there's no fancy terms for what those are just primary 1-7 and 1st year to 6th year.
I think Hershey is tasty to younger people since Cadburys was bought by mondelez which makes Hershey and the recipe was changed to add dry milk which means that it develops into butyric acid which is found in Hershey and makes it taste like sick so they ate used to it and think it’s normal. We older ones know what Cadbury used to taste like.

Hersheys was in our local shops for a while. Didn’t sell,it had to be taken down!I certainly wasn’t going to try it😂I tried Root beer when I went to New York. To say it was awful, is putting it very politely. I had been so excited to try it.🤦🏻♀️
That Hersheys bar was made in Britain by Kraft, the parent company, probably at Cadbury. The wrapper said Milk Chocolate Flavour, therefore not our milk chocolate. Let's face it kids sweet cake, yuk, they're bound to like it. A lot of your sweets we cannot eat due to the preservatives and carcinogens they contain. That goes for some drinks, too. A lot of your meats, cheeses and groceries have such a long shelf life which ours do not. I've seen cheese on ordinary shop shelves, not chilled.
Back in the 80s and 90s when I worked in London as a nurse, I'd go to The Swiss Centre to stock up on Lindt and Suchard chocolate. And when I was engaged to a Swiss chap and visited Switzerland a lot, I'd come home with lots as well. Nothing compares to it but sadly now I'm much older I can't eat sweet things with equanimity!
On Hershey's tasting "like M&Ms", that's because it is. M&Ms were developed in a joint venture by Mars and Hershey's due to the chocolate rationing at the time, and are named after Forrest E. Mars Sr. and Bruce Murrie, the son of the Hershey Chocolate's president.
I have no evidence for this, but my theory about why Americans say Zee instead of Zed is because it rhymes with V in the alphabet song and give it a more satisfying ending.
I don’t think Hershey’s is bitter - mostly it just tastes cheap, dusty and as if it’s past its expiry date. Remember being given a load of American chocolate when I was there around Halloween and I thought it had all gone off, I later realised that’s just what it tastes like
Lmao it’s funny that that’s how we’re taught in school and we keep doing it in a childish way all the way through school😭 you’re right tho I didn’t realize we sound like a children’s tv character 💀
@@StayMadLmfao I have a friend in the USA, aged 74, who once told me I sound like one of The Beatles. Hardly surprising as I'm from Liverpool with a Scouse accent. 😁 I then asked them to tell me the alphabet. When they finished I asked them if they could tell me how to get to Sesame Street? 😂 Accents were never made fun of again. 🤣
@@skemite do you guys not like The Beetles anymore or something?😂 I remember really appreciating them when I was in high school. Don’t get me wrong I agree the Stones are way better
Steve, every letter of the Alphabet has a name and a sound. The word Alphabet comes from the first two letters in Greek: Alpha Beta (Gamma Delta Epsilon etc). When you say the Alphabet, you’re naming every letter. Zed, from the Greek zēta, was originally one of many words for Z, which included izzard, uzzard, and zod.
The boy who used to live in America, one as of his parents might be in the military & came to the uk boarding school, a lot of children from abroad come to uk boarding schools
It's only the US that uses Zeee No other countries use it. The pilgrims left the UK with Zed and it got buggered up somewhere along the way. American HERSHEY uses Butyric acid (vomit enzyme) 🤢 not some thing chocolate lovers enjoy.
We have something kinda similar to combos in the UK, peperami pizza buns. Made with "cheese preparation with vegetable oils", and doesn't even need to be refrigerated
You've probably been told to watch this loads but PLEASE watch Educating Yorkshire or Greater Manchester. I'd love to see what americans think of our public schools. Brings back so many memories and the show is so entertaining and funny. Episodes are available on RUclips too!
This in a hilarious video, guys. This same group of year 10-13 boys also tried a typical American Thanksgiving dinner in another video, as well as various other selections of US cuisine and fast food outlets. You'd enjoy their reactions too. 😅
Marmite is not a snack, it's a condiment, like spicy sauce. Peanut butter is just not a big thing here in the UK, it might occasionally be spread on toast, but very little else, certainly never with jam or anything else, that's just weird. When I was a kid in the 60 s we had a thing of a cream soda drink with vanilla ice-cream float, it was great.
It’s used extensively by vegans and turns up in cheesecakes and cookies. A couple of supermarkets have sold jars of peanut butter and jelly. You can see by the amount of them in the shops that it’s reasonably popular.
I don't think the UK Hershey's milk in their UK chocolate contains the Butrylc Acid that the US version does. Which is what causes most Europeans to comment about it tasting vile.
FYI: There’s no such thing as Hershey’s _'Chocolate'_ in Europe. It is all imported, BUT it is not legally _'chocolate'_ and cannot be sold as such. In the UK, it must be sold as a “chocolate flavour candy bar”. You actually noticed that the label says “Milk Chocolate FLAVOUR”. Anything that says 'flavour' does NOT contain what its suppiosed to be i.e. Prawn 'flavoured' OR Bacon 'flavoured' crisps contain NO hint of prawn and have never been touched with any real bacon (just additives and chemicals)... 🤗😄
A few years ago, in the UK, I had a meal at McDonalds and ordered a Coke. It tasted awful, thw3re was obviously something very wrong with it. I took it back to the counter and said "I can't drink this Coke, it tastes like dental mouthwash" "Oh, sorry" he said, "I must have given you root beer by mistake, we've only just started selling it" ....McDonalds no longer sell root beer in the UK
I tried root beer once. It was vile. I had nothing else to drink at the time so i chugged it down, also so I didn't waste my money, but I would never buy it again.
Not all American food is bad, but we do associate Twinkies with the US. When we think of US snacks Twinkies and Pop Tarts come to mind immediately. Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish and Gator are some of my favourite foods. With Gator season just starting my niece will be sending me some over, love this time of the year, out of 50 tags I'll claim 1 😂😋
I cannot stand a standard Hershey bar, but I love the cookies and cream variant. Not surprising that that is the one you see in most shops over here, far more than the regular.
This channel has exactly what you asked for! American high schoolers trying British food (marmite included). All their ‘high schoolers try’ videos are really funny ruclips.net/video/inaUCiJVZ9A/видео.htmlsi=0eqySWv4xCL7O0yp
Here's a couple of things about Hershey's. It says on the packet, 'chocolate FLAVOUR' (my emphasis). I would never, on principle buy anything that had 'flavour' on it, because you know at once it's a chemical pretend food, never the real thing. The second thing is (please forgive me, this is a bit gross) I once saw a programme investigating the chemical flavour profiles of UK vs US chocolate. it seems that chocolate in the US has a profile which contains an element similar to vomit .... I'm sorry. That's just what it said. From Mental Floss, 'Hershey’s chocolate bars have a different reputation overseas than they do in America. Writing for The Guardian, Arwa Mahdawi compared the taste of American chocolate to, “sawdust that’s been drowned in sugar and soaked with baby vomit.” But bias alone doesn’t account for this perception; certain ingredients in Hershey’s milk chocolate contribute to its controversial flavor. The sour notes in America’s most popular chocolate are commonly attributed to butyric acid-a compound found in spoiled butter and, yes, vomit. Hershey denies adding it to their product, and the ingredient isn’t listed on the label, but that doesn’t mean it’s not part of the recipe.' www.mentalfloss.com/posts/why-american-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit
Maybe Hersheys had to alter their recipe to meet UK food regulations. I would love to see a side by side comparison to American chocolate versus American Chocolate produced in Europe
Fun fact, the reason us british use “ZED” and not “ZEE” is because it originated from the french word “zède” and the greek and latin word “zeta” which both mean the letter “z”.
The quote ' chocolate is chocolate ' says it all, we have cheap chocolate in the UK also but it's not that good so everyone pays the extra for Cadbury's
On honeymoon is USA, husband's first trip. Keen to try twinkies after seeing then in Ghostbusters. Was very disappointed and still can't be persuaded to try them again.
I’d rather go hungry than try any of those things 😂 - also wondered about the legal ramifications because you literally get fined if you own a bakery and put American sprinkles (probably with illegal dyes) on your baked goods. Great video guys, love from Scotland! 🏴 ❤
Ice cream floats!!! In the 80’s and early 90’s I remember my mum taking me to a local fish and chip shop as a treat to have a lemonade and vanilla ice cream float. I don’t hear of them anymore! Thanks for the reminder x
I remember at one time they did Coke Floats in McDonald's. Trouble was, because they had not only the ice cream, but also a lid stopping the gas escaping from the Coke, as soon as you pushed a straw into the cup and through the ice cream, the gas escaped, taking some of the Coke and ice cream with it. The whole thing erupted like a volcano!! How do I know? Because it happened to me as I was walking out of the shop! They weren't around for long...🤔
@janrogers8352 I've never liked floats made with lemonade, somehow vanilla ice cream just doesn't go with the lemon flavour. In my family it was always vanilla ice cream and Cream Soda.
As far as I know, most if not all Commonwealth countries (ie English-speaking) pronounce "Z" as "zed" as well as the UK. Perhaps Canada matches the US pronunciation; but I'm not sure on that one.
Just to address, Doritos are distributed via Walkers in the UK and I believe Lays in Europe so I don't think they are considered American in the same way as Cheetos are as we don't distribute them because the recipe can't be produced in the UK therefore they are imported.
Hershey's is absolutely putrid, i remember serving in Afghanistan with the Royal Marines and traded my Cadbury's to an American from the US Marine corps for his Hershey's bar and i took 1 bite and begged to have the Cadbury's bar back.. he refused LOL .. apparently British Cadburys is like Gold dust to them. they will sit and eat like 5 bars in 1 go if they get the chance. best chocolate ever. i'm pretty sure Hershey's in Europe is called a candy bar legally as it's not proper chocolate and would be illegal to sell it as such
Josh and Ollie have recently done a couple of USA food tours that are fun to watch! Including the best BBQ in the south? And deep fried twinkies! Be sure to check them out @jolly ❤
I remember ice cream floats, growing up in the 80s. Was my weekly treat every Saturday from an Italian ice cream parlour! Twinkies were to me, disgusting & fake, & Hersheys tastes like vomit! With the exception of Tootsie Rolls & Swedish Fish, I will stick with our UK snacks n treats!
The Hersheys in UK is not the same as the traditional USA version. The Hersheys in the UK is made in Asia and doesn't have the vomit smell from the Butyric acid. Well spotted about the spelling.
We're so sensitive to severe allergy reactions in kids now that I can see a day when peanut butter will be outright banned here. Oh yeah, always was zed for Z. The English language preceded the rhyme! 🤣👍 Hersheys is my guilty pleasure I can't confess to, it gets such a bad press here. But if I get hold of a bag of 'kisses', once I get past the awful smell, I love em!
I actually saw a piece on BBC breakfast not that long ago as it happens. They said that they were desensitizing people with allergies by giving them miniscule amounts of what they are allergic to and gradually building up the body's tolerance levels to the particular allergy. I'm lucky I'm not allergic to anything to my knowledge and I'm 57 so you'd have thought I'd discovered my allergies by now.😁😁
That Hershey's Bar in the video was made in Britain hence the phrase "Chocolate Flavour" on the wrapper. It can't be called "chocolate" as it doesn't contain the right amount of cocoa solids.
If an American school does try British snacks, I hope they get advice first and do the Marmite the right way, not like it's a chocolate nut spread. Done correctly, it is very enjoyable. Done incorrectly, it's almost toxic. You guys need to try it again, done right. This method works: MIX the Marmite with the butter - a ratio of 8 teaspoons of butter to 1of Marmite, maximum. Then spread that thinly on warm toast or fresh bread. The way I see so many American channels trying Marmite and Vegemite really turns my stomach, so maybe you can become the advisors to others by showing how to do it right!
@@marydavis5234 that's way too much for a first taste - even I wouldn't go 50/50 and I've been eating it all my life! The ratio I quoted was given in a pamphlet in the 70's, to Mum's who were starting to vary a toddlers meals. My Aunt had a new baby and wanted ideas to expand her palate more than her siblings, and it worked.
We overwhelmingly use 'zed' over 'zee'. It's the same in French 'double-vay, iks, y-grec, zed' = W X Y Z. In German it's 'tset'. However, I've heard young people use 'zee' so it's certainly catching on! We also use 'zee' for American names, titles and brands like 'Jay Zee' and everyone says 'Dragon Ball Zee' for the anime because the American dub was huge in the UK even though it's pronounced 'dragon ball zed' in the original Japanese version 😂 It's really interesting to see language change in real time! Love the video ❤
We only ever say 'zed' for that last letter. However...now I find myself having to say (or choosing to say) the abbreviation 'Gen Zee' because there is no way that Gen Zed or Generation Zed will ever sound right...! 🤔
Strange thing about Peanut Butter. I do like peanuts, but with Peanut Butter not a fan. It's mainly the smellf so dry I find it difficult to breath. I have had Hershey's many years ago assumed the American version where it's known for tasting like babies vomit. I know it's due to the process making them last due to war rations. Then did have one a few years ago and the one I had was okay.
Z is not a word anymore than any other letter of the alphabet, you can spell out every letter of the alphabet as a word if you want. Aye, Bee, See, Dee etc... But the one letter that is the most confusing as to what it is called is not Zed, It is Aitch or H
Nobody in the uk would favour Hersheys over what europe calls chocolate, and as pointed out in the comments its wrapper states milk chocolate flavour as it does not come close to the term chocolate at all, its down to how its made and the reference in the video to xmas chocolates is interesting. you were able to purchase cheap little chocolate santas here in the UK to hang on your xmas tree, these were the worst tasting things you could imagine and were similar in taste to hersheys again not exactly proper chocolate.i doubt any american chocolate will conquer europe anytime soon,mind you laura secord of north america made chocolates which were decent,ive had them a long while ago.
I've tried the root beer as they sell it here in the UK in home bargains, and the only way I can describe the taste is.... It's tastes like the smell of germolene. It's not for me that one!!
British kids are naturally funny. Their sarcasm is world class. I’m a retired teacher, and that’s what I miss most.
Love it!

A lot of your meats, cheeses and groceries have such a long shelf life which ours do not. I've seen cheese on ordinary shop shelves, not chilled.
Back in the 80s and 90s when I worked in London as a nurse, I'd go to The Swiss Centre to stock up on Lindt and Suchard chocolate. And when I was engaged to a Swiss chap and visited Switzerland a lot, I'd come home with lots as well. Nothing compares to it but sadly now I'm much older I can't eat sweet things with equanimity!
On Hershey's tasting "like M&Ms", that's because it is. M&Ms were developed in a joint venture by Mars and Hershey's due to the chocolate rationing at the time, and are named after Forrest E. Mars Sr. and Bruce Murrie, the son of the Hershey Chocolate's president.
I have no evidence for this, but my theory about why Americans say Zee instead of Zed is because it rhymes with V in the alphabet song and give it a more satisfying ending.
Yeah, that definitely makes sense!
I don’t think Hershey’s is bitter - mostly it just tastes cheap, dusty and as if it’s past its expiry date. Remember being given a load of American chocolate when I was there around Halloween and I thought it had all gone off, I later realised that’s just what it tastes like
Yes you nailed the alphabet with the ZED 👍👍
We'll have to send you a Hershys bar from the UK so you can compare it to your own lol
That would definitely be interesting to see if there's a difference!
What a great idea!
Is an American capable of saying the alphabet without singing it like a character from Sesame Street? 😂
Lmao it’s funny that that’s how we’re taught in school and we keep doing it in a childish way all the way through school😭 you’re right tho I didn’t realize we sound like a children’s tv character 💀
@@StayMadLmfao I have a friend in the USA, aged 74, who once told me I sound like one of The Beatles. Hardly surprising as I'm from Liverpool with a Scouse accent. 😁 I then asked them to tell me the alphabet. When they finished I asked them if they could tell me how to get to Sesame Street? 😂 Accents were never made fun of again. 🤣
@@skemite lmao I mean it could’ve been a compliment,saying you sound like one of The Beetles is actually really dope😂
@@StayMadLmfao Nah, the Rolling Stones were much better. 😁
@@skemite do you guys not like The Beetles anymore or something?😂 I remember really appreciating them when I was in high school. Don’t get me wrong I agree the Stones are way better
Steve, every letter of the Alphabet has a name and a sound. The word Alphabet comes from the first two letters in Greek: Alpha Beta (Gamma Delta Epsilon etc). When you say the Alphabet, you’re naming every letter. Zed, from the Greek zēta, was originally one of many words for Z, which included izzard, uzzard, and zod.
Youngsters generally don't have discerning palates. There are things that I used to eat when I was young that turn my stomach now.
Check out Ingredient content, I think a lot of "American" goods are different. A lot of the addatives etc. are avoided in Europe.
They already have
The boy who used to live in America, one as of his parents might be in the military & came to the uk boarding school, a lot of children from abroad come to uk boarding schools
Except this school isn’t a boarding school. It’s the Fulham boys school which is a state school in London used in a few of the Jolly reaction videos.
It's only the US that uses Zeee
No other countries use it.
The pilgrims left the UK with Zed and it got buggered up somewhere along the way.
American HERSHEY uses Butyric acid (vomit enzyme) 🤢 not some thing chocolate lovers enjoy.
Probably one of Noah Websters abominations 😂😂
Wrong, Zee is used in Canada, South America and Central America.
We used to have something like the Sourhead spray when I was a kid
Our equivalent to a twinkle is a Swiss roll probably
We have something kinda similar to combos in the UK, peperami pizza buns. Made with "cheese preparation with vegetable oils", and doesn't even need to be refrigerated
You've probably been told to watch this loads but PLEASE watch Educating Yorkshire or Greater Manchester. I'd love to see what americans think of our public schools. Brings back so many memories and the show is so entertaining and funny. Episodes are available on RUclips too!
This in a hilarious video, guys. This same group of year 10-13 boys also tried a typical American Thanksgiving dinner in another video, as well as various other selections of US cuisine and fast food outlets. You'd enjoy their reactions too. 😅
haha, yeah I'm sure we would!
Marmite is not a snack, it's a condiment, like spicy sauce. Peanut butter is just not a big thing here in the UK, it might occasionally be spread on toast, but very little else, certainly never with jam or anything else, that's just weird. When I was a kid in the 60 s we had a thing of a cream soda drink with vanilla ice-cream float, it was great.
It’s used extensively by vegans and turns up in cheesecakes and cookies. A couple of supermarkets have sold jars of peanut butter and jelly. You can see by the amount of them in the shops that it’s reasonably popular.
I wouldn't say peanut butter isn't a big thing here. There's a lot of peanut butter choices and lots of peanut butter flavour things.
I’ve tried it with jam. Got to say I’m still having nightmares😬
It's always Zed, never Zee here in the UK.
I don't think the UK Hershey's milk in their UK chocolate contains the Butrylc Acid that the US version does. Which is what causes most Europeans to comment about it tasting vile.
Yes, only time I ever tasted Hersheys it literally tasted of sick. Definitely not good!
Came here looking for this comment. The lack of instant revulsion on at least some of the tasters’ faces made me suspect this was the case.
These Jolly guys have done vids with American kids trying uk food. Really funny xx
The lads who made that video have some with American students trying marmite..
FYI: There’s no such thing as Hershey’s _'Chocolate'_ in Europe. It is all imported, BUT it is not legally _'chocolate'_ and cannot be sold as such. In the UK, it must be sold as a “chocolate flavour candy bar”. You actually noticed that the label says “Milk Chocolate FLAVOUR”. Anything that says 'flavour' does NOT contain what its suppiosed to be i.e. Prawn 'flavoured' OR Bacon 'flavoured' crisps contain NO hint of prawn and have never been touched with any real bacon (just additives and chemicals)... 🤗😄
A few years ago, in the UK, I had a meal at McDonalds and ordered a Coke. It tasted awful, thw3re was obviously something very wrong with it. I took it back to the counter and said "I can't drink this Coke, it tastes like dental mouthwash" "Oh, sorry" he said, "I must have given you root beer by mistake, we've only just started selling it" ....McDonalds no longer sell root beer in the UK
I tried root beer once. It was vile.
I had nothing else to drink at the time so i chugged it down, also so I didn't waste my money, but I would never buy it again.
Not all American food is bad, but we do associate Twinkies with the US. When we think of US snacks Twinkies and Pop Tarts come to mind immediately. Gumbo, Jambalaya, Crawfish and Gator are some of my favourite foods. With Gator season just starting my niece will be sending me some over, love this time of the year, out of 50 tags I'll claim 1 😂😋
Hersheys is not chocolate guys it’s chocolate flavour as it cannot be advertised as chocolate in the UK.
I cannot stand a standard Hershey bar, but I love the cookies and cream variant. Not surprising that that is the one you see in most shops over here, far more than the regular.
This channel has exactly what you asked for! American high schoolers trying British food (marmite included). All their ‘high schoolers try’ videos are really funny
ruclips.net/video/inaUCiJVZ9A/видео.htmlsi=0eqySWv4xCL7O0yp
I like Hershey's chocolate! I've never tried any other American candy.
😳Talk about letting the side down🏴😂😂
And me my welsh friend loads of American treats in Sainsbury's. I also like a m Donald's I don't get the hate
When's the "Americans react to British Teens reacting to Americans reacting to British Teens trying American snacks" video coming out?
Hi, we always say Zed. All the best.
"peanut butter makes sense nutritionally, because..." would've loved to hear the end of that sentence
If you wanna make more videos like this, stick with jolly. They're very good
😂😂😂😂😂 - that is all 😂😂😂
When the Christmas stuff starts coming out, I'll send a tub of mini cheddars for Sophia 😊
Here's a couple of things about Hershey's. It says on the packet, 'chocolate FLAVOUR' (my emphasis). I would never, on principle buy anything that had 'flavour' on it, because you know at once it's a chemical pretend food, never the real thing.
The second thing is (please forgive me, this is a bit gross) I once saw a programme investigating the chemical flavour profiles of UK vs US chocolate. it seems that chocolate in the US has a profile which contains an element similar to vomit .... I'm sorry. That's just what it said. From Mental Floss, 'Hershey’s chocolate bars have a different reputation overseas than they do in America. Writing for The Guardian, Arwa Mahdawi compared the taste of American chocolate to, “sawdust that’s been drowned in sugar and soaked with baby vomit.” But bias alone doesn’t account for this perception; certain ingredients in Hershey’s milk chocolate contribute to its controversial flavor.
The sour notes in America’s most popular chocolate are commonly attributed to butyric acid-a compound found in spoiled butter and, yes, vomit. Hershey denies adding it to their product, and the ingredient isn’t listed on the label, but that doesn’t mean it’s not part of the recipe.'
www.mentalfloss.com/posts/why-american-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit
Maybe Hersheys had to alter their recipe to meet UK food regulations. I would love to see a side by side comparison to American chocolate versus American Chocolate produced in Europe
Yeh, that's UK Hershey's, have it says chocolate flavour, they can't legally call it chocolate
When we say the alphabet each of the last three letters kind of gets its own full stop. X. Y. Zed.
Fun fact, the reason us british use “ZED” and not “ZEE” is because it originated from the french word “zède” and the greek and latin word “zeta” which both mean the letter “z”.
The quote ' chocolate is chocolate ' says it all, we have cheap chocolate in the UK also but it's not that good so everyone pays the extra for Cadbury's
Cadbury's is also cheap chocolate, that's why we are blessed to have it
@@flawedgeniusCadburys is expensive chocolate, but the best.
Speak for yourself.
Galaxy, Nestle and Supermarket Own Brand chocolate, are all better than Cadbury.
@@danielgardecki1046 yes I do, Cadbury’s is the best..
Supermarket own brand chocolate?? Disgusting.
On honeymoon is USA, husband's first trip. Keen to try twinkies after seeing then in Ghostbusters. Was very disappointed and still can't be persuaded to try them again.
I’d rather go hungry than try any of those things 😂 - also wondered about the legal ramifications because you literally get fined if you own a bakery and put American sprinkles (probably with illegal dyes) on your baked goods. Great video guys, love from Scotland! 🏴 ❤
Ice cream floats!!! In the 80’s and early 90’s I remember my mum taking me to a local fish and chip shop as a treat to have a lemonade and vanilla ice cream float. I don’t hear of them anymore! Thanks for the reminder x
Use to have them made with vanilla ice cream and cream soda
I remember at one time they did Coke Floats in McDonald's. Trouble was, because they had not only the ice cream, but also a lid stopping the gas escaping from the Coke, as soon as you pushed a straw into the cup and through the ice cream, the gas escaped, taking some of the Coke and ice cream with it. The whole thing erupted like a volcano!! How do I know? Because it happened to me as I was walking out of the shop! They weren't around for long...🤔
Floats were popular in the 60s, we'd make them with vanilla ice cream and lemonade. But you could also get coke floats at a Wimpy Bar.
@janrogers8352 I've never liked floats made with lemonade, somehow vanilla ice cream just doesn't go with the lemon flavour. In my family it was always vanilla ice cream and Cream Soda.
As far as I know, most if not all Commonwealth countries (ie English-speaking) pronounce "Z" as "zed" as well as the UK. Perhaps Canada matches the US pronunciation; but I'm not sure on that one.
It's supposed to be zed in Canada but a lot of people do say zee due to being close to the US
Smores? 😲
Just to address, Doritos are distributed via Walkers in the UK and I believe Lays in Europe so I don't think they are considered American in the same way as Cheetos are as we don't distribute them because the recipe can't be produced in the UK therefore they are imported.
Hershey's is absolutely putrid, i remember serving in Afghanistan with the Royal Marines and traded my Cadbury's to an American from the US Marine corps for his Hershey's bar and i took 1 bite and begged to have the Cadbury's bar back.. he refused LOL .. apparently British Cadburys is like Gold dust to them. they will sit and eat like 5 bars in 1 go if they get the chance. best chocolate ever. i'm pretty sure Hershey's in Europe is called a candy bar legally as it's not proper chocolate and would be illegal to sell it as such
Cadbury tastes gross to me. It almost has a vomit flavor to it, in the after taste.
@@PhxVanguard is it the American Cadbury? or the British one? it should taste sweet and milky.
Josh and Ollie have recently done a couple of USA food tours that are fun to watch! Including the best BBQ in the south? And deep fried twinkies! Be sure to check them out @jolly ❤
I remember ice cream floats, growing up in the 80s. Was my weekly treat every Saturday from an Italian ice cream parlour! Twinkies were to me, disgusting & fake, & Hersheys tastes like vomit! With the exception of Tootsie Rolls & Swedish Fish, I will stick with our UK snacks n treats!
Just one thing to remember guys its called the English language so its a zed not a zee😂 thank go were seperated by a damn big ocean 😂😂😂😂
Yanks try and be different from England, think they invented the language. That’s why they change the spellings.
Zed is actually Greek in origin.so try again
The Hersheys in UK is not the same as the traditional USA version. The Hersheys in the UK is made in Asia and doesn't have the vomit smell from the Butyric acid. Well spotted about the spelling.
They only liked the Hershey candy because they had had a warhead just before!
We're so sensitive to severe allergy reactions in kids now that I can see a day when peanut butter will be outright banned here. Oh yeah, always was zed for Z. The English language preceded the rhyme! 🤣👍 Hersheys is my guilty pleasure I can't confess to, it gets such a bad press here. But if I get hold of a bag of 'kisses', once I get past the awful smell, I love em!
I actually saw a piece on BBC breakfast not that long ago as it happens. They said that they were desensitizing people with allergies by giving them miniscule amounts of what they are allergic to and gradually building up the body's tolerance levels to the particular allergy. I'm lucky I'm not allergic to anything to my knowledge and I'm 57 so you'd have thought I'd discovered my allergies by now.😁😁
We do have some super sour sweets in the UK called toxic waste that used to be a big thing. Surprised none of them had tried those before.
We’ve had Doritos here for years 😁 I don’t think we’d see those as ‘American’
That Hershey's Bar in the video was made in Britain hence the phrase "Chocolate Flavour" on the wrapper. It can't be called "chocolate" as it doesn't contain the right amount of cocoa solids.
Maybe its a special British recipe for the Hershey's, very few people like the American version so its doubtful that they would try to sell it here.
If an American school does try British snacks, I hope they get advice first and do the Marmite the right way, not like it's a chocolate nut spread. Done correctly, it is very enjoyable. Done incorrectly, it's almost toxic. You guys need to try it again, done right. This method works: MIX the Marmite with the butter - a ratio of 8 teaspoons of butter to 1of Marmite, maximum. Then spread that thinly on warm toast or fresh bread. The way I see so many American channels trying Marmite and Vegemite really turns my stomach, so maybe you can become the advisors to others by showing how to do it right!
Jolly did one where Americans students tried British snack, it was 50/50 on the marmite.
@@marydavis5234 that's way too much for a first taste - even I wouldn't go 50/50 and I've been eating it all my life! The ratio I quoted was given in a pamphlet in the 70's, to Mum's who were starting to vary a toddlers meals. My Aunt had a new baby and wanted ideas to expand her palate more than her siblings, and it worked.
I’d rather have a baby puke in my mouth than eat a Hershey chocolate bar. 😂
Same taste 😂
You can see on the label “ chocolate flavour”. Even Hershey’s is not claiming that it is actually chocolate, but is chocolate- like food substitute.
Lindsay, sophisticated palate is what you were searching for. Some of the boys agreed Hershey’s it tasted stale, like really old chocolate.
Chocolate in UK and Europe has to contain a certain percentage of cocoa solids in order to be classed as chocolate -whether milk or dark.
Mars Galaxy > Nestle > Supermarket Own Brand > Cadbury
We overwhelmingly use 'zed' over 'zee'. It's the same in French 'double-vay, iks, y-grec, zed' = W X Y Z. In German it's 'tset'. However, I've heard young people use 'zee' so it's certainly catching on! We also use 'zee' for American names, titles and brands like 'Jay Zee' and everyone says 'Dragon Ball Zee' for the anime because the American dub was huge in the UK even though it's pronounced 'dragon ball zed' in the original Japanese version 😂 It's really interesting to see language change in real time! Love the video ❤
We only ever say 'zed' for that last letter. However...now I find myself having to say (or choosing to say) the abbreviation 'Gen Zee' because there is no way that Gen Zed or Generation Zed will ever sound right...! 🤔
Gen Zee spunds like something you'd say to a baby called Jenny - "Come to daddy, Gen Zee Wen Zee!"
Strange thing about Peanut Butter. I do like peanuts, but with Peanut Butter not a fan. It's mainly the smellf so dry I find it difficult to breath. I have had Hershey's many years ago assumed the American version where it's known for tasting like babies vomit. I know it's due to the process making them last due to war rations. Then did have one a few years ago and the one I had was okay.
I love peanut butter, banana and peanut butter is my favourite sandwich 😁🇬🇧💕
There are a couple shops in town that sell american candy, I've tried hersey bar and the kisses and yeh, not nice
Die hard the cop loved Twinkies 😂
Z is not a word anymore than any other letter of the alphabet, you can spell out every letter of the alphabet as a word if you want. Aye, Bee, See, Dee etc... But the one letter that is the most confusing as to what it is called is not Zed, It is Aitch or H
Z has never been a word in the U.S., it is a letter
You have to have something super sour first to like Hersheys.
The same duo called jolly do get americans to try marmite
Nobody in the uk would favour Hersheys over what europe calls chocolate, and as pointed out in the comments its wrapper states milk chocolate flavour as it does not come close to the term chocolate at all, its down to how its made and the reference in the video to xmas chocolates is interesting. you were able to purchase cheap little chocolate santas here in the UK to hang on your xmas tree, these were the worst tasting things you could imagine and were similar in taste to hersheys again not exactly proper chocolate.i doubt any american chocolate will conquer europe anytime soon,mind you laura secord of north america made chocolates which were decent,ive had them a long while ago.
I once tried hersheys in florida and it tasted like vomit, literally the only way I could describe it
I've tried the root beer as they sell it here in the UK in home bargains, and the only way I can describe the taste is....
It's tastes like the smell of germolene. It's not for me that one!!
You can get Marmite flavour crisps (chips).
Hersheys used to be made in York at the Rowntrees factory.
