      @@Lizzo13 it's more ubiquitous than that. They're not sold in the American/world section. Doritos are sold in the crisp section with a dozen varieties. They even do Doritos dips. Oreos are sold in the cookie section but in the UK there's only one or two varieties, unlike the US. Pop-Tarts have been in the UK for 30 years. Lay's are known as Walkers in the UK. Like Paul says, Snickers exists in the UK but with different chocolate. Paul and Prue have definitely tried all the brands I mentioned. They are downplaying their familiarity with the products for the sake of the video's theme.

Especially if they're shopping at idk, Waitrose and going straight for the fresh food, maybe popping over to the biscuit aisle - if they EVEN are shopping themselves.

Doritos maybe, but again there are much fancier crisp selections, even corn-based ones.

    For those confused on the US vs UK Snickers - In the UK chocolate manufacturers uses more milk and less sugar compared to the US recipes. This is true for each of the major international brands (Nestle, Cadbury, Mars etc.). In my opinion the US versions have a nice instant sweetness, but an unpleasant oily aftertaste. The UK versions are highlighted with creaminess rather that instant sweetness.
