I'm a Texan who works for a British company (and travels there for work a few times a year) and the reaction from the Monster Munch is by far the most entertaining cultural exchange I've seen all year. Also, the first time I was in London they took me out for Mexican food and it was so awful I told them not to do it again lol.
@@LeahInAnotherLife I know what it is as I have had many and sauder too...I just meant Brits wouldn't know so maybe translate to IKEA is closest they know is all.. I used to have a mainstays VHS tape drawer thing long time ago. It had this fake golden pinstripe deal. Lol. Total pressed board garbage. Hate to think a cookie reminded Matt of Mainstays furniture but laughed hard too. Thanks
@@LeahInAnotherLife I thought WalMart's store brand was Great Value. Never heard of Mainstay's. Then again, I don't really buy furniture at Wal-Mart on a regular basis, so maybe I'm just not aware. (The first place that pops into my head for buying furniture, is Value City.)
A few years ago there was a big court case here in UK to determine if jaffa cakes were a cake or a biscuit. It had something to do with different level of taxes to be paid. It was legally determined that because a jaffa cake went hard when it's stale then it's a cake, whereas a biscuit would go soft when stale 😄
The show you are thinking of is "Are you being served?" And that was a hysterical show! "Keeping up appearances" and a few others are also awesome and I can't think of the names at present!
how many of these were you thinking of? miranda, a bit of frye and laurie, little britain, blacks books, fawltey towers, the league of gentlemen, the thick of it, the catherine tate show, black adder
@@iamnobody2 Miranda and black books are amazing! One I was thinking of has Mother in the title. And one of the others has Dame Judy Dench and I think the title of it is also the theme song.
Matt while trying the Jaffa Cakes: "I wouldn't eat a whole sleeve of these, you probably don't do that in other countries", Brits watching this: "OH HOW WRONG YOU ARE SIR!" ETA: As a Brit myself, I can devour like 2 sleeves in one sitting and not feel bad about it.
You can get a big Terry's orange that's all put together like an actual orange in the US around Christmas. The best part, besides eating them, is you have to smack them on the table to get the slices apart.
You can get them all year long these days but I do remember getting them around Christmas too. Loved it and they also have a raspberry version that's just as amazing! And remember a friend struggling with theirs and they thought I was stupid when I told them you gotta wack it down hard against a hard surface haha. Finally I just had to take it from them and do it! 😆
Yup, I put one in each of my kid’s stockings each Christmas along with a real orange as well because that is traditional here in Massachusetts. I already bought them and they are hidden away til Christmas eve
Walker's is owned by Frito-Lay so that explains the logo! Also, I think a lot of British cookies/biscuits are better when dipped in tea or coffee or milk and that's possibly why they are otherwise a bit dry. 😉
I'm sure someone has already responded with this info in the comments, but the British comedy you were talking about that takes place in a department store was called "Are You Being Served?" - absolutely classic show. I have fond memories of watching all the British comedies on PBS in the 80s and 90s (Are You Being Served, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted, Red Dwarf, Black Adder, etc.)
Hey Matt, just to let you know that Terry's Chocolate Oranges are at Wal-Mart, depending on which one you are at, which flavor you can get, I do believe all have the orange flavor, but I did come across one that had pop rocks in it too, my late wife and I made a tradition of having the chocolate orange at Christmas time and yes they are very delicious.
@@GrandDuchessAniya I did one of those "Close your eyes and open your mouth." to my wife a couple of years ago. Gave her a piece of orange slice candy with a piece of dark chocolate. Her face went from puzzled to bliss. Only time I've come close to that reaction was making her a sandwich with Nutella and strawberry jam.
My son moved to England and sent us a box of snacks. No country has as much sugars & salt & additives in their food as the USA, so most of the English stuff tasted bland and a bit “healthy.” But the chocolate was FANTASTIC! Their chocolate is much better than ours! (Also, I wish our foods didn’t have as much sugar & salt & additives - even though they surely are tasty!)
English chocolates are divine ! My late husband's bosses wife was English and she brought me a box of chocolates back from a trip home - best chocolates I ever ate ! I've heard it's because their candy makers use cream, and the ones here use milk.
Because in Europe, to be classified as a chocolate product, it has to be at least 20% cocoa, whereas in the US it's only 10%, the difference tends to be made up with fillers and additives. There aren't a lot of things Europe is better than the US at, but making chocolate and starting wars sure are 2 of them!
Terry’s chocolate orange is excellent. I actually like Chocolate Hobnobs, the oatcake is toasty and nutty. Btw, Lay’s is owned by the same company that owns Walkers. And I cannot imagine you watching Are You Being Served, Matt. My family watched it too. You were hysterical! Your little girl is an angel!
I also love the chocolate orange slices! You need to send your Liverpoolian Little Debbie oatmeal cream pies, pork rinds(from the gas station of your choice), Cheerwine, cream drops, and Entenman’s coffee cake
Late to the party here, but the proper way to refer to people or things from Liverpool is Liverpudlian. Said like puddle and not poodle because a puddle is a small pool, obviously. The More You Know 🌈
Thank you for waiting, red dwarf, black adder, mr bean. I was also poor growing up and the only channel I had on my tv in my room as a teenager was pbs. Loved British comedies
After being stationed in the UK for 4 years, I can say I’ve had most of these snacks…however, most of them are meant to be consumed with a cup of tea. I always enjoyed some jaffas with my tea. And you definitely have to send some peanut butter his way. Side note: if you ever get your hands on some Sticky Toffee Pudding (Costco has some, that is the closest tasting to what you’ll find in the UK) it’ll be the best thing you’ve ever had.
Yeah, they are expensive. I've started buying mine from Amazon. There are a lot of importers in upstate New York across the border from Canada who sell the same items for a more reasonable price.
Definitely bundle a bag of Lance Peanuts and a bottle of Coke-cola together. Include instructions on how to put the peanuts in the Coke. Also send a jar of Duke's Mayo and a spoon. Or straw. Either way. GO DAWGS!! GATA!
"Are you being served"!!!! Oh my word...I found that show a few years ago and I just found it again a few days ago...been going through it again!! So funny!! 🤣👍
I can't speak to any of the rest but that Terry's Chocolate Orange, we get one each for Christmas every year - like the big ones, that are the size of an actual orange, but they're pre-sliced. AMAZING.
Love the baby!! I also want to see Wayne try the American snacks!! Snacks to consider: Oreos, moon pies, double chocolate chip chocolate cookies, Little Debbie Christmas tree cakes
You should send southern states specific snacks from local shops that you really like. A lot of major brands are sold overseas so something they can’t get because it is regional to the US.
I’m a Tennessean and learned about Monster Munch from Steve-O on First We Feast. I ordered a bag off Amazon, and I LOVE THEM!!! It tastes like Funyun and Salt and Vinegar blended into a chip.
My husband is from the UK, and I would die for ANY of these. I have come to love anything picked onion. Though a good Bakewell tart is my absolute favorite.
Oh, Alice is TOO CUTE!!!!! What a little angel!!!! I hope there is someone in your life that makes you laugh as much as you make me laugh, Matt! I would send my Brit friend some Slim Jims and maybe a pack of goldfish crackers? Merry Christmas!!!!!
How about Buckee’s Beaver Nuggets, a Snickers Almond bar, Lance cream cheese and chives crackers, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and Dott’s original pretzels? That should be a pretty good cross section of American favorites.
@@brandonweeks "the south" is a big place. I don't know Dott's original pretzels, but I know the rest. I knew the ones that I know when I was just a little girl, so obviously, you've just not been out much.
I’m with you on the Terry’s Chocolate Orange 🍊! They show up in NC around Christmas, the full size ones and you have to smack the end of the orange to break the wedges apart. It is Heaven & they are only around for a few weeks a year.
The reactions are very funny - I'm not sure why pickled onions are a candy. I thought we pickled some weird things. Also - the TV show mentioned should be Are You Being Served - and is a great one to watch
We have a British food section in the Publix here and I'm always after the "Digestives" or digestive biscuits, those are what my online gaming buddies in the UK are always munching on after dinner.. I think that might be the sole purpose of cookies over there so that's why they're fiber rich. They also have better regulations on what crap can be added to food as far as bad chemicals and preservatives.
They're called "Digestives" because when they were introduced, it was thought the simple ingredients would prevent farting. Could be worse. Graham crackers were invented in the hopes that they'd stop teenage boys . . . getting urges.
As a southerner living abroad, I’d recommend Utz’s Crab Chips, a Goo goo cluster and definitely some Little Debbies. I suppose it depends on if you’re going for taste or weirdness :). Reese’s, Poptarts and Oreos are all available here (though they can be quite expensive.)
The sitcom he speaks of is called "Are you being served?" and not only is it England's best sitcom but one of the best satirical class observations ever made.
A slight bit of background, at 12.40 that is Tower Bridge. The original London Bridge from the song was a mediaeval bridge with structures atop which were crumbling, it was replaced by a Victorian Bridge (well technically Georgian, Victoria did not take the throne for 6 more years) which was purchased by an American and moved block by block and after modifications, the facade reassembled upon a concrete frame in Arizona. The current “London Bridge” is a 1970s concrete arch bridge which can support modern traffic which the 1830s bridge could not. The opulent Tower Bridge remains, the main difference being it is now hydraulically opened instead of steam powered.
I'm surprised he didn't send you a Cadbury Flake. I agree with you on the chocolate orange. I get whole one that is the size of a real orange each Christmas in my stocking. You slam it into the table, and all the slices fall out. Yummy and fun!
As everyone is suggesting moon pies and other Little Debbie snacks are obvious choices. The problem with many of our snacks is they have them in the UK too like Pringle or Lays (which sells as Walkers in the UK) or even Doritos. So you could also veer off into the classic candy selection with things like Squirrel Nut Zippers. Things that they are certain not to have over there.
@@Polythene_Pam LOL. Where do you think that band got the idea for the name. It's a well known candy from the South (it may be available elsewhere in the country but it's well known in the Southern USA.)
Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets would also be good one. Also send them a can of boiled peanuts(not as good as homemade or roadside but those won't ship very well).
@@Polythene_Pam Really? I grew up mostly in south Georgia and all the local grocery stores had that candy. Admittedly this was many many years ago. Can't say that I've seen it in a store in decades, but I do know it's still for sale as it showed up in a video not long ago.
Here are a handful of American snacks I don't think you can regularly obtain in the uk: butterfinger, peanut butter m&ms, oatmeal pies, chex mix or muddy buddies, fritos corn chips and bean dip or queso, BBQ flavored chips, and a real shocker - candy canes (or any minty treats for that matter)
Yes this is a good starter list! I'd nominate nutty buddies or oatmeal creme pies from the little Debbie line as being both not in UK but also probably palatable. I do miss butterfinger, but they often don't ship well and we all know stale butterfinger is 😬 I'm not sure if there's really a chip/crisp flavor/flavour from the US that doesn't have an analogue in the UK 🤔 (obv a lot aren't exactly the same) but corn chips are really underrepresented. They have bad Doritos here, but nothing like Fritos. A bag of *crunchy* regular Cheetos is like unobtainium tho, send some of those!
They do have XXX mints in a roll. We love the extra strong mints from Trebors too. They are hard to find in the states. I usually order them from Amazon.
Jaffa cakes are great and you can get them lots of places in the US, including Amazon, they are also a snack that grows on you as you continue to eat them.
Tunnock's are fantastic! They do come in a dark chocolate flavor. Jaffa cakes are good. You can find similar ones via Canada/or Turkey(iirc). I've found those in cherry, raspberry & orange.(& perhaps strawberry)
Usually you can get the Terry's oranges around Christmas. The whole orange version is my brother's favorite. You can smack the chocolate orange on the counter and it breaks into orange slices.
As usual an entertaining segment. You said once they figure out peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect paring, send him some Reese cups or Little Debbie Nutty Buddy bars.
Monster Munch are straight 🔥. Don't what you're on about, Matt. It's like a cheeto, but onion flavor with a little tang you get from salt & vinegar chips.
LMAO I'm chewing up the dog toy! Good one mate. Is this what happens when college football is over? Send him the fun yums or vinegar and salt tater chips.
As an Alabamian that lives in the UK, the Monster Munch reaction is the correct one. Also send Wayne some Cheetos, they don't have them very commonly here and it makes me want to cry (also send me some, Jalapeno please).
@@jamestabbron8124 Never, I will die on the hill that flamin hot are the superior monster munch. The same way Spicy Tomato are the best of the Wheat Crunchies.
as an american southerner who happens to love the pickled onion monster munch from the uk,....ouch,matt. ouch. 😔😭 And this very quickly escalated from a friendly little international exchange of snacks to a "let's trash talk all of great britain" free-for-all 🙃
Thank you for having a sense of humor! I always maintain the same attitude when the jokes start flying from the UK re: the USA. It's just family making fun of each other. 😃 @4svennie
Tunnock's chocolate tea cakes sound like Mallomars which are made here in New Jersey. Not sure if they are available nationwide, but I've been known to kill a whole row of them in one sitting. "Mallomars cookie snacks feature round graham crackers topped with marshmallow and covered in dark chocolate." They are only available September thru March every year
walkers was a british company for years then frito lay bought the company from us in 1979 i belive because it was so popular in the uk already they kept the name walkers in the uk because was already well established, same company just the name got changed for the rest of the world as before they were bought out they were only sold in the uk. The biggest crisps/ chip factory in the world is in england and they produce over 11 million bags a day the factory is in leicster its crazy
Ziggy Stardust is definitely the best Bowie. I lived in London for a couple of years in the mid-80s, & had my grandmother send me some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups & Mtn Dew for Christmas one year. Both were universally reviled by every Brit I shared them with. Too salty, too sweet, respectively. I also developed a keen taste for pickled onions while I was there, but I still wouldn't eat a pickled onion-flavored puff! Next time you're trying to think of a well-known British animal, might I suggest the English Sparrow, a delightfully invasive species you can find in all 48 of the contiguous United States. They're the noisy little brown birds you see everywhere. That's an adorable baby you got yourself there! ✌🏼
the original full size terry's chocolate orange is great, i didn't realize they were british, i'm american and lots of stores have these especially around christmas!
Matt, you are in luck. You can get the full size Terry’s chocolate oranges in the U.S. I have gotten one in my Christmas stocking every year for the last 30+ years!
Our ingredients lists are considerably smaller than yours because they tend do have a lot less crap than American stuff. Like some of the American food that I have tried, when I read the ingredients it looks like I’m reading the periodic table. 😅
No, we have to list all ingredients, but European laws on additives are far more strict than the USA. A lot of additives in American foods are banned in Europe.
River Street Pralines from Savannah GA to go with the New Orleans beignets!! Mmmmm ooh and some southern fudge too like you get at festivals or at Rock City, TN
I had to walk outside to prevent from waking up the family, as I was laughing so loudly. Loved your reviews!! 🤩 If you have a Publix in your area, the International Food section may have the Terry's Chocolate Orange, and the McVitties Hobnobs and Digestive Biscuits, and the Tunnocks Carmel Wafers. I haven't seen the Tunnocks Tea Cakes. 🥳

You should send southern states specific snacks from local shops that you really like. A lot of major brands are sold overseas so something they can’t get because it is regional to the US.
Are you being served? That was such a good show!!!! Memory unlocked! Hey from Nashville! ❤️
Are You Being Served?
Classic! I loved that show!
Beaver nuggets, snowballs, and for a savory snack- some sort of spicy beef jerky
Oh yes! From Bucces
Alas, it is illegal to bring beef jerky into the UK from the US. I do miss that particular snack. I'd even take a Slim Jim.
@@noracamann3371 Okay. I have to ask why?
just describing my last trip to buccees
@@RottenRogerDM transport of any food really unless it's screened through customs. We have weird laws too.
I’m a Tennessean and learned about Monster Munch from Steve-O on First We Feast. I ordered a bag off Amazon, and I LOVE THEM!!! It tastes like Funyun and Salt and Vinegar blended into a chip.
I learned about it from Karl from “An idiot abroad”…it was the only food he insisted on taking to every country they went to. 🤣
You pegged it! You have to want the vinegar edge, not settle because it’s there.
Hobnobs and Jaffa Cakes definitely need tea/coffee. They're both pretty good then.
Loved this one! The show about the department store was “Are You Being Served”.
My husband is from the UK, and I would die for ANY of these. I have come to love anything picked onion. Though a good Bakewell tart is my absolute favorite.
Oh, Alice is TOO CUTE!!!!! What a little angel!!!!
I hope there is someone in your life that makes you laugh as much as you make me laugh, Matt!
I would send my Brit friend some Slim Jims and maybe a pack of goldfish crackers? Merry Christmas!!!!!
Seventeen whole minute's with my favorite comedian Matt! My day just got way better.💯💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!
I'm so happy you did another testing episode! These are my favorite ❤️
How about Buckee’s Beaver Nuggets, a Snickers Almond bar, Lance cream cheese and chives crackers, Reese’s peanut butter cups, and Dott’s original pretzels? That should be a pretty good cross section of American favorites.
peanut butter cups are yummy but can only eat one.
Yes to the beaver nuggets and it needs to be the Captain"s Wafers (with or without cream cheese and chives).
As an American from the south I can tell you I’ve only heard of two of those things and I’m 32
@@brandonweeks "the south" is a big place. I don't know Dott's original pretzels, but I know the rest. I knew the ones that I know when I was just a little girl, so obviously, you've just not been out much.
@@brandonweeks Well, okay, not the almond bar because that's fairly new.
I absolutely love Terry's chocolate oranges and Jaffa cakes....I guess I just love chocolate and orange lol
I’m with you on the Terry’s Chocolate Orange 🍊! They show up in NC around Christmas, the full size ones and you have to smack the end of the orange to break the wedges apart. It is Heaven & they are only around for a few weeks a year.
The reactions are very funny - I'm not sure why pickled onions are a candy. I thought we pickled some weird things. Also - the TV show mentioned should be Are You Being Served - and is a great one to watch
The TV show was "Are You Being Served", funny as all get out. (Alice is positively adorable).
We have a British food section in the Publix here and I'm always after the "Digestives" or digestive biscuits, those are what my online gaming buddies in the UK are always munching on after dinner.. I think that might be the sole purpose of cookies over there so that's why they're fiber rich. They also have better regulations on what crap can be added to food as far as bad chemicals and preservatives.
They're called "Digestives" because when they were introduced, it was thought the simple ingredients would prevent farting.
Could be worse. Graham crackers were invented in the hopes that they'd stop teenage boys . . . getting urges.
As a southerner living abroad, I’d recommend Utz’s Crab Chips, a Goo goo cluster and definitely some Little Debbies. I suppose it depends on if you’re going for taste or weirdness :). Reese’s, Poptarts and Oreos are all available here (though they can be quite expensive.)
Baby cameo was the best part of the whole video. And it was already pretty good.
Dill pickle potato chips, double decker oatmeal cream pie, Texas honey bun, fried peach pie, and cheese straws
I'm a big Bowie fan so I was pleased to see him being used as a rating system 😆
The sitcom he speaks of is called "Are you being served?" and not only is it England's best sitcom but one of the best satirical class observations ever made.
A slight bit of background, at 12.40 that is Tower Bridge. The original London Bridge from the song was a mediaeval bridge with structures atop which were crumbling, it was replaced by a Victorian Bridge (well technically Georgian, Victoria did not take the throne for 6 more years) which was purchased by an American and moved block by block and after modifications, the facade reassembled upon a concrete frame in Arizona. The current “London Bridge” is a 1970s concrete arch bridge which can support modern traffic which the 1830s bridge could not. The opulent Tower Bridge remains, the main difference being it is now hydraulically opened instead of steam powered.
I'm surprised he didn't send you a Cadbury Flake. I agree with you on the chocolate orange. I get whole one that is the size of a real orange each Christmas in my stocking. You slam it into the table, and all the slices fall out. Yummy and fun!
Oh a Bounty bar is the best, beats Mounds or Almond Joy by a mile
Cadbury Crunchie bar is amazing...
I second the Crunchie bar! That and Dairy Milk is what I horde or request when friends travel to or from the UK.
I lived in the UK for a couple of years as a kid and I LOVED Cadbury Flake bars! Melt in your mouth deliciousness.
As everyone is suggesting moon pies and other Little Debbie snacks are obvious choices. The problem with many of our snacks is they have them in the UK too like Pringle or Lays (which sells as Walkers in the UK) or even Doritos. So you could also veer off into the classic candy selection with things like Squirrel Nut Zippers. Things that they are certain not to have over there.
What??? That's candy? Here in the States, Squirrel Nut Zippers is a band! 😮
@@Polythene_Pam LOL. Where do you think that band got the idea for the name. It's a well known candy from the South (it may be available elsewhere in the country but it's well known in the Southern USA.)
Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets would also be good one. Also send them a can of boiled peanuts(not as good as homemade or roadside but those won't ship very well).
@@nanoflower1 I _am_ from the South (Nashville), and I've never heard of the candy. Just the band. 😄
@@Polythene_Pam Really? I grew up mostly in south Georgia and all the local grocery stores had that candy. Admittedly this was many many years ago. Can't say that I've seen it in a store in decades, but I do know it's still for sale as it showed up in a video not long ago.
Alice is adorable! Kroger carries the whole Terry orange, milk,dark chocolate and even one with toffee bits.
The show you're thinking of Matt, is called Are You Being Served and it was really funny! I miss it! I loved this video! Please do a part 2!
Adorable babies will always win us over 😩❤️
Here are a handful of American snacks I don't think you can regularly obtain in the uk: butterfinger, peanut butter m&ms, oatmeal pies, chex mix or muddy buddies, fritos corn chips and bean dip or queso, BBQ flavored chips, and a real shocker - candy canes (or any minty treats for that matter)
Yes this is a good starter list! I'd nominate nutty buddies or oatmeal creme pies from the little Debbie line as being both not in UK but also probably palatable.
I do miss butterfinger, but they often don't ship well and we all know stale butterfinger is 😬
I'm not sure if there's really a chip/crisp flavor/flavour from the US that doesn't have an analogue in the UK 🤔 (obv a lot aren't exactly the same) but corn chips are really underrepresented. They have bad Doritos here, but nothing like Fritos. A bag of *crunchy* regular Cheetos is like unobtainium tho, send some of those!
They do have XXX mints in a roll. We love the extra strong mints from Trebors too. They are hard to find in the states. I usually order them from Amazon.
@@bieuxyongson I've found most UK mint stuff is spearmint, which is a totally different flavor from the US which is usually peppermint.
@@katyweaver7689 Oh I gotcha! Yeah, we love the spearmint. I always forget the difference. 🤔🥰
Yep! I just had to send a care package to my brother in Australia with Oatmeal Cream pies and Cosmic Brownies 😂
Alice is absolutely adorable .
The Britcom set in a deprtment store is called "Are You Being Served?".
Jaffa cakes are great and you can get them lots of places in the US, including Amazon, they are also a snack that grows on you as you continue to eat them.
Hey Matt.. fun fact, the London bridge is actually now in Arizona. What you showed was actually Tower Bridge.
Send over a couple of those giant Tabasco flavored Slim Jims and some fudge covered Oreos.
Tunnock's are fantastic! They do come in a dark chocolate flavor. Jaffa cakes are good. You can find similar ones via Canada/or Turkey(iirc). I've found those in cherry, raspberry & orange.(& perhaps strawberry)
Usually you can get the Terry's oranges around Christmas. The whole orange version is my brother's favorite. You can smack the chocolate orange on the counter and it breaks into orange slices.
It is called Are You Being Served. I love British comedy.
Man I just found this channel and boy is it funny! Keep it up Matt I’m laughing my ass off up in NY!
As usual an entertaining segment. You said once they figure out peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect paring, send him some Reese cups or Little Debbie Nutty Buddy bars.
Reese's cups are around in the UK
what should I send back to Wayne in Liverpool?
I think my advice would be too 'friend'-like. Hannah's pickled sausage, among other more palatable things.
Moon Pies, Pork skins, Beaver bites, Little Debbie variety, Cheerwine.
Bucee’s beaver nuggets, Christmas Cakes (we all know why), random gas station beef jerky, Zapp’s voodoo potato “crisps”
Lays pork rinds, Double-decker Vanilla Moon Pies, Jalapeño Cheetos, Peanut-butter pretzel bites, Snack Factory Dark chocolate pretzel crisps
Stuckey's pecan roll
I wondered what you’d do considering the Army-Navy “game” on Saturday. This was hilarious.
Monster Munch are straight 🔥. Don't what you're on about, Matt. It's like a cheeto, but onion flavor with a little tang you get from salt & vinegar chips.
Don’t play wid monster munch don’t matter which flavour
Dude, you make me laugh so damn hard. I have to pause your videos you make my eyes hurt and you make me cry. You make me laugh so hard thank you.❤
LMAO I'm chewing up the dog toy! Good one mate. Is this what happens when college football is over? Send him the fun yums or vinegar and salt tater chips.
Too funny, Matt! Send ‘em some beaver nuggets, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Big League Chew, beef jerkey, sriracha peas, and pop rocks
As an Alabamian that lives in the UK, the Monster Munch reaction is the correct one. Also send Wayne some Cheetos, they don't have them very commonly here and it makes me want to cry (also send me some, Jalapeno please).
Monster Munch are nice but the pickled onion ones can be slightly over powering.
Flamin Hot and Roast Beef are the far better flavours.
@@AshleyClarkey
Get out.
@@jamestabbron8124 Never, I will die on the hill that flamin hot are the superior monster munch.
The same way Spicy Tomato are the best of the Wheat Crunchies.
@@AshleyClarkey I just tried all of the flavors for the first time this week and they all made me gag
If you like Crunchy Cheetos, you can substitute with NikNaks. If you prefer Cheetos Puffs, get Wotsits.
Would love to watch matt try some Japanese snack foods
The name of that sitcom is are you being served. It is one of my favorite sitcoms.
Born and raised in America, and we get a Terry's Chocolate Orange every year at Christmas. No idea that was British.
Love you rating foods. Even more fun when it's "foreign" foods. Great Job
as an american southerner who happens to love the pickled onion monster munch from the uk,....ouch,matt. ouch. 😔😭 And this very quickly escalated from a friendly little international exchange of snacks to a "let's trash talk all of great britain" free-for-all 🙃
Yeah, not a fan of that bit.
"let's trash talk all of great britain" free-for-all
Lol. Nah, we're good mate. We do the same to the US. It's just banter.
Thank you for having a sense of humor! I always maintain the same attitude when the jokes start flying from the UK re: the USA. It's just family making fun of each other. 😃 @4svennie
That reaction to Jaffa Cakes was perfect 😂 “woah. Very orangey and spongy and I don’t really taste a whole lot of chocolate” haha. You are correct.
Tunnock's chocolate tea cakes sound like Mallomars which are made here in New Jersey. Not sure if they are available nationwide, but I've been known to kill a whole row of them in one sitting. "Mallomars cookie snacks feature round graham crackers topped with marshmallow and covered in dark chocolate." They are only available September thru March every year
Yeah, exactly: they're basically Mallomars. Speaking of Mallomars, I recently read that they're only made seasonally, these days.
@Beedo_Sookcool correct, they are only made Sept thru March I believe so they don't melt during shipping and storage
Don't forget to send RC cola with the moon pies! Also a bag of pork rinds!
The UK has pork rinds, but we call them pork scratchings. They're popular as a pub/bar snack
Dude, can we talk about the awesome collection of arcade games you got behind you!?
NBA JAM: "He's on fire!!!"
Dude's got some classics
walkers was a british company for years then frito lay bought the company from us in 1979 i belive because it was so popular in the uk already they kept the name walkers in the uk because was already well established, same company just the name got changed for the rest of the world as before they were bought out they were only sold in the uk. The biggest crisps/ chip factory in the world is in england and they produce over 11 million bags a day the factory is in leicster its crazy
Are you being Served is an amazing show!
Ziggy Stardust is definitely the best Bowie.
I lived in London for a couple of years in the mid-80s, & had my grandmother send me some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups & Mtn Dew for Christmas one year. Both were universally reviled by every Brit I shared them with. Too salty, too sweet, respectively. I also developed a keen taste for pickled onions while I was there, but I still wouldn't eat a pickled onion-flavored puff!
Next time you're trying to think of a well-known British animal, might I suggest the English Sparrow, a delightfully invasive species you can find in all 48 of the contiguous United States. They're the noisy little brown birds you see everywhere.
That's an adorable baby you got yourself there! ✌🏼
the original full size terry's chocolate orange is great, i didn't realize they were british, i'm american and lots of stores have these especially around christmas!
He should do a Mexican snacks review next! 💚🤍❤️🇲🇽
Send him a package of various snack items and I bet he will
Mexico got it goin on with snacks
Can I get an amen??
@@efraim3364 Can I get an amen?
@@Whatthechuckttv How we (I) will do that?
Matt, you are in luck. You can get the full size Terry’s chocolate oranges in the U.S. I have gotten one in my Christmas stocking every year for the last 30+ years!
Are you being served. Is the department store show. 😂 So funny I loved this.
Our ingredients lists are considerably smaller than yours because they tend do have a lot less crap than American stuff.
Like some of the American food that I have tried, when I read the ingredients it looks like I’m reading the periodic table. 😅
Lol yes, because the UK is known for its exceptional diet and fantastic dental hygiene
@Reece Freeman at least the periodic table is more enjoyable; try more like reading "War and Peace"!
@@ViktoriousDead the shade! 😂😂
More like the uk still has most of the same things us food products have, they just don’t have to label it like the US does
No, we have to list all ingredients, but European laws on additives are far more strict than the USA. A lot of additives in American foods are banned in Europe.
Moon pies, bengiets from New Orleans, some Dreamland BBQ, pecan pie, and little debbie christmas tree cakes
River Street Pralines from Savannah GA to go with the New Orleans beignets!! Mmmmm ooh and some southern fudge too like you get at festivals or at Rock City, TN
I miss Little Debbie Spice Cakes. Haven't seen any since the 1990s.
awesome! please do more of these snacks from other places please and thank you!
Great video! You should definitely send moon pies and pork rinds (barbecue flavor)!
The show was Are You Being Served!🤣 I used to love that show!
I had to walk outside to prevent from waking up the family, as I was laughing so loudly. Loved your reviews!! 🤩 If you have a Publix in your area, the International Food section may have the Terry's Chocolate Orange, and the McVitties Hobnobs and Digestive Biscuits, and the Tunnocks Carmel Wafers. I haven't seen the Tunnocks Tea Cakes. 🥳
