Basically anything Cadbury eg: Cherry Ripe, Freddo Frogs, Flake are popular. As for lollies,try Spearmint leaves & Eucalyptus drops. If you need a supply let me know. Just a few tips...Mars bars are best served cold...different experience if served from a Fridge. Flake bars are also good in sundaes. Violet Crumbles are popular here they now come in their own ice cream flavour. Love your work team, keep the enthusiasm going.
I used to love the lollies Raspberries and Strawberries & Cream when I was a kid. Don't know if you can get them over there but maybe if you start a Patreon to raise $ for that PO box (!) someone from Oz can send them to you.
Australian Cadbury’s used to be much better, virtually the same as the British Cadbury’s but sometime in the last 20 years, the supermarkets complained that in the summertime the Cadbury chocolate would melt on the shelf and lobbied Cadbury for an improvement. Cadbury made the chocolate more resistant to melting and we lost that melt in the mouth deliciousness of the old Cadbury’s. As a result, Lindt and other European chocolates started to become more popular here. Cadbury should have told the supermarkets to take a hike. However, anyone from Australia or Europe finds American chocolate to be the worst in the world. Waxy and sugary is a good description of it.
@@twotravelingkings You guys need to have the original Nestle coconut rough first! Right now I've been enjoying the NZ Whittaker's mini coconut slabs which probably beat them both!
I went through university on a diet of Violet Crumbles and Smalls Club Roasted Almond (now Nestlé, I believe)...a very dark chocolate. Most of the Violet Crumbles I let melt in my mouth.
Favourite way to eat a Violet Crumble/Crunchie is... While it is still in its package beat it on the edge of a table or kitchen bench. If opened hold it tight. Better if it is sealed. Once satisfied that it is broken to your preference, stir it through softened vanilla ice cream. I like smaller pieces with the occasional bigger chunk. Enjoy.
@@imaginativeteacher8508 They make great chocolate! I must try to make an order online for those cherry chocs! I hope to one day visit South Aus. Some of my past relatives are from Adelaide. It's only one of two states I have left to visit! I'm Aussie born and love to travel my own unique country 😁
Hi Jenny and Logan.We positively love all your videos and your bloopers are very funny.Five thousand subscribers and many more to follow we are sure.Take special care always.🇺🇸🇦🇺❤️🤍💙💚💛
Violet Crumble is chocolate coated honey comb - melts in your mouth. American chocolate is too sweet. You need to try the KIT KAT dark chocolate - bloody delicious !!!!
Great to see you back vloging.You both make me laugh.I would love to send you my favourite childhood lollies clinkers,freckles and caramel koala.Keep them coming my shout for the first schooner if you return to oz
When my wife worked in Seattle as an MD for a year, she met a nurse there who absolutely loved Maltesers and one of my main tasks before leaving Sydney on my periodic visits was to pack a generous supply of them in my suitcase. Luckily US Customs always went easy on me! Also she hates Bounty bars but I absolutely love them. Anywhere you go in the world, chocolate bars can be a polarising issue! 😆
@@londonbeatz check the wiki, there seems to be different versions of the picnic and the UK version is different and looks terrible compared to Aussie version made in Australia since 1967. Cadbury has had a manufacturing facility in Australia since 1922 in Tasmania.
My other reply was removed, youtube silently does this a lot i've noticed from my channel, i get a notification of a response with some of it shown in the notification, but go look at the comments and it's not there. I basically said you should try them, and i described them and posted a link to an advert of the picnic bar and it's slogan "Deliciously Ugly". I'm sure you can look it up if you like :)
The sugar they make the chocolate from is different in the USA too, I don’t think they use cane sugar in the USA. Great video! Now I want a Whopper.... a real one... from Hungry Jacks. Another thing is the ratio of actual cocoa mass as Hershey uses chocolate liquor not as much actual cocoa.
Most chocolates in USA are made of corn syrup and cocoa not cacao. My parents grow cacao plants so I know what's real chocolate taste. I grow up drinking real chocolate.
I recommend to crush some maltesers up and sprinkle over ice cream.Personally I find Cadburys milk chocolate too sweet. Love Bounty, Cherry Ripe, Snickers, Summer Roll, Turkish Delight, Twix and of course licorice bullets. Lately I've been enjoying the plain dark chocolate you can get at ALDI, not too sweet or bitter, nice smooth texture.
G'day guys, just found your channel and wanted to let you know that I'm enjoying your Aussie content. Such a shame you weren't able to stay through covid. Hope you can come back and experience all that Australia has to offer.
Hey there, I watched your review video about USA vs Australia: Chocolate (Cadbury, Mars, Hershey's ???) | Two Traveling Kings on RUclips and you really have done a great job on this. I love your video style very much. We are setting up a new business on gift boxes and hope to extend our business. So, can you test the product for us? We will appreciate it and we can pay for your effort. Best Regards
Pollywaffles don't exist anymore. There was a copycat called the Great Australian Waffle Log but its not the same. They are coming back though in the next two years. South Aus brand Robern Menz bought the rights to it and the Violet Crumble.
Good fun, enjoyed the vlog. Interesting to note, while honey comb was around, its was a n Australian invention to put it in a bar form by a company called Hoadleys ( now owned by Cadbury)...he named the bar after his wife Violet. Unfortunately (killjoy here) I think that's as close to Australian you have got..Cadbury is an English company and so is Mars which make the Bounty and Maltesers, they have produced chocolate in Australia for a long time ...so I guess its a fair competition. We have lost so many of our local manufactures here,Mac Robinsons, Hoadley, Rowntree (Cherry Ripe) Darrel Lea...now thats something you MUST try..Darrrels Lea's Rocky Road!!!!! and mentioned below The Wagon Wheel. A personal favorite is the Picnic Bar...looking forward to your next video.
Logan: "Why we liked it - and why". Haha. Jenny, sharp as a tack, pulls him up on it straight away. Nice. IT'S A TIE, people!! Looks like you're just going to have to try more chokkies/candy in a future tiebreaker showdown. Pay per view on Cable for sure. Then you get your PO box faster so we can send you some Aussie stuff.
I’m an Aussie butterfinger fan. Check out Aldi around July 4th or when they have American foods plus some specialty lolly shops have them. They occasionally pop up in Coles international food section- good luck!!
You all are sounding more Australian with every video! 2 1/2 minutes' in and I love this already! Round 2, honeycomb-wise the Cadbury Crunchie dissolves in your mouth more efficiently than the Violet Crumble, so there's less of that packing-your-molars feeling - Round 3, you *can* get Bounty with dark chocolate and it definitely compares more pound-for-pound with Mounds - the biggest difference between Australian and American chocolate bars is the amound of cocoa butter that is in Australian typical chocolate compared to American chocolate. FWIW, I am a big fan of the Butterfinger and also the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and I think it's because we really don't use peanut butter regularly in our chocolate confectionery here in Oz. We do use a lot of mint, which I know you don't use so much in the US. If you really want to be decadent, take the Scottish route and deep-fry your deeply-frozen Mars Bar (or Milky Way, for you all!)... the Scots will deep-fry anything.
My current favourites are a dark chocolate and ginger Bunderberg block, or Whittaker's Dark Ghana. But l do like Twix, Picnic, and Bounty bars. I suppose what you had as children influences what you like as an adult.
I have some vegemite news. If you get a mouth ulcer - common when you bite your cheek accidently, after you clean your teeth, but a decent dab of vegemite on the effected area and de-da-de da it is always gone next day! Malocclusion sufferers often get this problem also. Hope this helps.
A very fair comparison. But I do suspect that the flavours you were brought up on make a big difference. For example, Hersheys was released in Australia and didn't sell until they slightly changed their formula for Australian tastes. And I found that returning to Australia after years in the USA, I had to readjust to the local chocolate treats too.
I don't eat many commercial chocolates anymore (too much sugar for this middle-aged palate!) but your video reminded me of Aussie chocolates from my childhood 😊 My fave was Cherry Ripe, which I think you tried in another video. I did have an American chocolate bar once (Hershey's, I think) and found it kinda grainy & tasting of chemicals. BTW, the "Malt" in Maltesers is pronounced the same way as the malt in malted milk 😊
I love Reeses, butterfinger...anything that is chocolate and peanut butter. Have you guys tried Whittakers? The are New Zealand though but they The have peanut butter( crunchy)chocolate slab and also a peanut butter (smooth) chocolate family size block...both A-Mazing!
An American friend once gave me a Hershey's Bar and I thought it had gone slightly "off" on it's long journey to Oz. Then I watched a documentary on the American food industry on the History channel and they mentioned that during the original development of Hershey's milk chocolate, they slightly soured the milk and decided that added an interesting feature to the taste. Personally, I completely disagree and find Cadbury's superior in taste, texture and mouth feel -- but I understand that Americans have grown up with Hershey's so all other chocolate tastes a bit dull to them. As an aside, I'd be surprised if the similarity between your Milky Way and our Mars was a coincidence. The Milky Way was invented by a Minneapolis candy maker called Frank C. Mars. It seems likely that they're the same product but named differently for trademark reasons with the differences you noticed in taste and texture probably attributable to local manufacturing variance.
You pronounced "Malteser" correctly only once. They contain malt. That's the clue. "Moll - teezers". I have to say I was disappointed by the American chocolates I tried when I was over there. The sugar level was almost sickly to me. After I discovered cann olis there, I was expecting a revelation or something. I think ours have increased the sugar over time as well. European chocolate will always be the best. You are unlikely to be able to get them there, but if you could taste the Cadbury Picnic chocolate slab (based on the Picnic chocolate bar), I'm sure you would love it. As for the "honeycomb" in the Violet Crumble, you can make it at home by boiling sugar with a small amount of water until it starts to brown. Remove from the heat and add a spoon of bicarb soda and stir well. It begins to puff up like crazy. Pour it onto parchment/baking paper, then put it into the fridge to set. Other classics are the Flake - which won't melt over heat! - Kit Kats, Caramello, Rocky Road, and Lollygobble Bliss bombs. (Although I haven't seen the latter for a long time. They are a nutty, caramel popcorn deliciousness. )
Only rocky road, Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs and caramello koalas are Aussie, the rest are originally from the UK and we share them. The US has honeycomb but its under multiple names like cinder toffee or sea foam candy. Woolies sells LGBB still!
@@lmaree200886 I haven't seen them for a long time. I must look next time. But I'm in woop-woop, so the local Woolies doesn't stock everything. Yes, many of our sweets are made by the British company Mars, but they are still what we eat, regardless of who makes them. Some of the recipes made in Australia differ in flavour from the UK version, as well as NZ.
How good is a Frys/Cadbury Turkish Delight or a Europe/Cadbury Summer Roll,Honey Nougat Bar. As for chocolate blocks...Cadbury Coconut Rough is THE BEST ever 😋😋😋🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
We tried Hershey’s when we were on holidays in Canada several years ago and we all hated it. First bite seemed okay, then it left an aftertaste in our mouths like vomit 🤮 Cadbury on the way
Fun fact: American chocolate apparently has butyric acid in it (for improved shelf life). Butyric acid is in stomach acid and smells like... (you guessed it) vomit 🤮.
Wait a few years Hershey actually grows on you, (like a fungus)..... but none the less it does. I was the same, yet my experience maybe a little different.. my ex uncle in-law.. (if there is such a thing) use to work for Hershey, many moons ago we visited him and toured the factory. Being a chocoholic I bought myself a 5lb (~2.3kg) Hershey bar. Bought it all the way back to Australia and tried it and thought... WTF... so I gave It away.. fast forward many years and I actually enjoy Hershey. It is a different mind set.. don’t expect the smoothness.. I always use to say Hershey tasted like it was made from Gravox (an Australian gravy mix)... but a good gravy. 🤣
I don't know why but I got hooked on the fact they said Mal-teasers other then Mol-teasers even though it's spelt as Malteasers I would always say Mol-teasers. Am I the only one? 🇦🇺
Wait; what? You managed to eat ONE Malteeser??! That's impossible! You must have a secret super power that means you can stop before eating the entire packet. :D :D
Cadbury sold in usa isn't the same as cadbury in oz alas :-( soooo so very glad Publix now sells violet crumbles!!! Next you should compare Boost bars to 100 Grands. Glad my ma has a box on the way to me, oh, you guys trying Allen's lollies would be fun to watch. Jaffas and Freckles too!
Noone has mentioned Darrell Lea. Their red green and black licorice bullets (chocolate coated bites) are the best. Reece's chocolates are here too. They're excellent! 🇦🇺
Check the wrapper, you'll find the "Aussie" Bounty isn't made in Australia any more, they are from the Netherlands. They've been imported for the last 3 years.
Given I'm nearly 40, it's sad to admit that one of the main appeals to Maltesers was teaching my toddler children the old school way of rolling said spherical choccies down the aisles at cinemas for distraction value. So if you the taste isn't quite your thing and you enjoy going to 4th rate movies - Maltesers are a great entertainer. Boost Bars...if you get them, indulge your senses
Logan how can you not like Violet Crumble! It’s the best. Bounty however.... yuck. I really want to try a Butterfinger. Peanut butter and chocolate is a great combination.
What additives are these? The only difference between Cadbury chocolate made in Australia and that made in the United Kingdom is the breed of cow that provide the milk.
That Cadbury chocolate isn't Australian cause our packaging isn't currently shiny purple and plain with no pictures of the cups of pouring chocolate. I was confused and had to go check my own blocks in the cupboard! It looks like something that's imported into the US as it has the US weight conversion on the front. Even the size of the squares looked flat and odd! You won't get the full experience as Australian Cadbury has slightly different ingredients to stop it from melting. That Mars bar looked different too! Was it the UK one? You guys DO have honeycomb but its named something else! Check out sponge toffee, sea foam candy, cinder toffee or hokey pokey. It's a very old fashioned candy.
It's the same everywhere in Australia but sometimes it has different packaging for a limited time because you can win prizes for different things. I'm from Sydney.
I know what the Aus blocks look like in person people as I have 3 blocks myself in front of me and I have grown up on it for years. It was really nice to be bombarded with commente like that! I found this in a simple Google search: The Hershey Company owns the rights to manufacture Cadbury chocolate in the US. It banned imports of British-made Cadbury chocolate in 2015. British expats claim that Cadbury's chocolate in the US tastes nothing like its UK counterpart, but according to Hershey, there's barely any difference in the ingredients. I knew that I have seen this packaging elsewhere as I like to browse those imported lolly shops online! All they have to do is look on the back of the packaging to see where it was made!
Good video. But it's really impossible to compare such dissimilar bars, When Hershey tried to introduce their product to Australia it failed miserably because it was considered to be such low quality. In Europe Hersheys doesn't even qualify as chocolate, but is called chocolate-flavoured. While we do accept it as chocolate, it's insufficient amount of cocoa made it unpopular here. Btw we pronounce them as car-a-mel, noogah (nougat) and mollteaser (malteaser).
Fark the subsciption value (now I went to the end of the vid), your channel is lots of fun. Im sure I, as well as many other Aussies, will happily send you stuff because you now have Biden. Of course, speaking for myself I'll send you your faves because it's a cool thing to do and lots of fun and sans politics.
From Australia: didn’t you guys ever make honeycomb yourself with your mum in the kitchen with golden syrup and bicarb? It’s so easy to make! Plus we pronounce “nougat” the French way. I am surprised you don’t as you use Middle French to pronounce “herb” without the H, which no other country does!
Mate, they don't really use golden syrup in the US! It's very rare and expensive. They mostly use corn syrup. And they do have honeycomb but its under many other names like sponge candy, cinder toffee, sea foam candy, sponge toffee and hokey pokey.
Cadbury isn’t exactly Australian. We have a very different Milky Way, which is promoted as being light and won’t spoil your dinner. It’s so strange to me that an American company, Mars, is assumed to be Australian - Mars makes Mars Bars, M&Ms and lots of other bars etc, so there should be Mars bars and so on in the us as well.
Aussie chocolate? Don’t know of much good original Aussie chocolate, Cadbury is British although we try and claim it as Australian. My opinion best main stream chocolate in Australia is Lindt, once again not Aussie. We have Haigh’s which is good but over priced. I use to hate Hershey chocolate, but I actually quite enjoy it now.
Out of curious, what would be the American equivalent of the Australian MilkyWay? Two American friends sent my family us packages of American chocolates(including Kisses) a bit of a decade ago. We didn't like them at all. All we could taste was a sickly sweet chemical taste. It just didn't taste like anything but fake. At the same time, I did not grow up on much sweet foods and tried to do this with my children too.
all if not most mars products in australia are made in china takes 6 months from factory on to the loading docks and ship and into warehousing before it hits the shelves that is why lots of people are boycotting the products
American chocolate has a very small % of cocoa & a lot of additives, whereas our chocolate is much more pure chocolate in the ingredients - Aussie choc wins....
Hershey is the worst chocolate I’ve ever eaten. Vile. They tried to enter the Aussie market in ‘87, but it was a dismal failure ‘Can’t hide a Hershey smile’. Within 6 months they had closed up and left. They’ve never officially returned.
There is just no comparison between Cadbury and Hershey. Hands down Cadbury. Same as coffee. Almost any Aus cafe coffee far superior than that awful Starbucks dishwater.
We did our best to find Aussie chocolates over here in the US. Any other chocolates/lollies we should be on the lookout for?
We crunch bar fans feel left out but it’s all in good fun
Basically anything Cadbury eg: Cherry Ripe, Freddo Frogs, Flake are popular. As for lollies,try Spearmint leaves & Eucalyptus drops. If you need a supply let me know. Just a few tips...Mars bars are best served cold...different experience if served from a Fridge. Flake bars are also good in sundaes. Violet Crumbles are popular here they now come in their own

@@savagesurpreme7856 & for clarity, Jenny and Logan, that’s a Crunch bar, not a Crunchie. Two different bars. Both good 👍
You need a Polly Waffle...
Try the wagon wheel from Aussie, marshmallow, jam and milk chocolate. hello from Perth Western Australia
Sounds great!!

One Coconut Rough please!

Cadbury with coconut? Sounds good to me 😊
@@twotravelingkings You guys need to have the original Nestle coconut rough first! Right now I've been enjoying the NZ Whittaker's mini coconut slabs which probably beat them both!
@@twotravelingkings they are both Nestle products but go back in time to the 1970s child hood for me
So excited to see you are trying a Violet Crumble, one of my favourite chocolate bars. They now have a dark chocolate version as well.

American food regulations is
Chocolate must contain 5% Cocoa
Australian regulation is 30% Cocoa
👍
You need to try fruchocs..... sooo yum! A South Australian tradition.
It's great that Robern Menz now owns Violet Crumble AND they are planning on bringing back Pollywaffles in the next two years! 😋

Also a shop in Melbourne
Sounds good 😊

Game show style.. gotta love it!!!
Haha thanks!
have you tried white knight in australia its a choclate bar with mint inside
Have not, sounds good!
Twix, Pollywaffle and liquorice Allsorts.
Pollywaffles don't exist anymore. There was a copycat called the Great Australian Waffle Log but its not the same. They are coming back though in the next two years. South Aus brand Robern Menz bought the rights to it and the Violet Crumble.
Pollywaffles are the Australian equivalent of the bar that got thrown in the pool in Caddyshack.
Ooo all sound awesome 😊
I think the crunchie would have been a better option over violet crumble. Bit softy and nicer in my opinion
Nice!
Try the cherry ripe and a Turkish delight
Haven't tried the turkish delight before! Love a cherry ripe tho 😊
I love a Cherry Ripe! 🍒🍫
Same here!! 😊

That all sounds good! Yeah did our best with what we had 😊
As much as I appreciate the effort, that is not an Australian Mars Bar. It is in fact a British one, and they really don’t compare
The Cadbury block was the US Hershey's made one too!
Eh, we did with what we could find, close enough 😊
Logan: "Why we liked it - and why". Haha.
Jenny, sharp as a tack, pulls him up on it straight away. Nice.

Wish we had butterfingers in Australia, they look good.
Not as good as reese's tho 😊
My 7/11 sells reese's, i like them too
I’m an Aussie butterfinger fan. Check out Aldi around July 4th or when they have American foods plus some specialty lolly shops have them. They occasionally pop up in Coles international food section- good luck!!
I'll eat them all.
We might've... 😊
I personally prefer violet crumble, to crunchie, which tastes more of the bicarb soda which causes the holes and lightness.
Nice 😊
Malteasers are the best for movie snacks. The name also makes more sense than whopper because it actually has the word malt in it
Malteasers much better than whoppers!
G'Day you goons! lol love it. I like some American candy too. But damn I do like a violet crumble - the small tv packs are the best size imho.
Lol nice!
Just try a Maltesers with a piece of popcorn, sounds weird but tastes good.
That sounds pretty good!
You all are sounding more Australian with every video! 2 1/2 minutes' in and I love this already!

And I found that returning to Australia after years in the USA, I had to readjust to the local chocolate treats too.
Tru tru
Nailed g’day and howyagohn.
Cheers 😊
I don't eat many commercial chocolates anymore (too much sugar for this middle-aged palate!) but your video reminded me of Aussie chocolates from my childhood 😊 My fave was Cherry Ripe, which I think you tried in another video. I did have an American chocolate bar once (Hershey's, I think) and found it kinda grainy & tasting of chemicals.
BTW, the "Malt" in Maltesers is pronounced the same way as the malt in malted milk 😊
We did! Love cherry ripe 😊
I love Reeses, butterfinger...anything that is chocolate and peanut butter. Have you guys tried Whittakers? The are New Zealand though but they The have peanut butter( crunchy)chocolate slab and also a peanut butter (smooth) chocolate family size block...both A-Mazing!
That sounds great, haven't tried it tho
An American friend once gave me a Hershey's Bar and I thought it had gone slightly "off" on it's long journey to Oz. Then I watched a documentary on the American food industry on the History channel and they mentioned that during the original development of Hershey's milk chocolate, they slightly soured the milk and decided that added an interesting feature to the taste. Personally, I completely disagree and find Cadbury's superior in taste, texture and mouth feel -- but I understand that Americans have grown up with Hershey's so all other chocolate tastes a bit dull to them.
As an aside, I'd be surprised if the similarity between your Milky Way and our Mars was a coincidence. The Milky Way was invented by a Minneapolis candy maker called Frank C. Mars. It seems likely that they're the same product but named differently for trademark reasons with the differences you noticed in taste and texture probably attributable to local manufacturing variance.

Yeah love cadbury 😊
You pronounced "Malteser" correctly only once. They contain malt. That's the clue. "Moll - teezers". I have to say I was disappointed by the American chocolates I tried when I was over there. The sugar level was almost sickly to me. After I discovered cann
olis there, I was expecting a revelation or something. I think ours have increased the sugar over time as well. European chocolate will always be the best. You are unlikely to be able to get them there, but if you could taste the Cadbury Picnic chocolate slab (based on the Picnic chocolate bar), I'm sure you would love it. As for the "honeycomb" in the Violet Crumble, you can make it at home by boiling sugar with a small amount of water until it starts to brown. Remove from the heat and add a spoon of bicarb soda and stir well. It begins to puff up like crazy. Pour it onto parchment/baking paper, then put it into the fridge to set. Other classics are the Flake - which won't melt over heat! - Kit Kats, Caramello, Rocky Road,
and Lollygobble Bliss bombs. (Although I haven't seen the latter for a long time. They are a nutty, caramel popcorn deliciousness. )
Only rocky road, Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs and caramello koalas are Aussie, the rest are originally from the UK and we share them. The US has honeycomb but its under multiple names like cinder toffee or sea foam candy. Woolies sells LGBB still!
@@lmaree200886 I haven't seen them for a long time. I must look next time. But I'm in woop-woop, so the local Woolies doesn't stock everything. Yes, many of our sweets are made by the British company Mars, but they are still what we eat, regardless of who makes them. Some of the recipes made in Australia differ in flavour from the UK version, as well as NZ.
Lolly gobble bliss bombs are still around. Woolies online sells them.
👍
Bounty is THE best!
Very good 😊
Guys you should try to get som Whittikers Chocolate fron NZ that is the best !
Someone commented that. They sound good!
You must try Maltesers with popcorn, in the one mouthful
Ooo that sounds good
Hershey's tastes disgusting. European and Australian chocolate is far better.
Lol our favorites were UK Dairy milk 😊
@@twotravelingkings Nice!
Lovely couple. Hi from oz
Cheers 😊 and hello 👋
How good is a Frys/Cadbury Turkish Delight or a Europe/Cadbury Summer Roll,Honey Nougat Bar. As for chocolate blocks...Cadbury Coconut Rough is THE BEST ever 😋😋😋🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Need to try some of those!
We tried Hershey’s when we were on holidays in Canada several years ago and we all hated it.
First bite seemed okay, then it left an aftertaste in our mouths like vomit 🤮
Cadbury on the way
Lol
Fun fact: American chocolate apparently has butyric acid in it (for improved shelf life). Butyric acid is in stomach acid and smells like... (you guessed it) vomit 🤮.
Wait a few years Hershey actually grows on you, (like a fungus)..... but none the less it does. I was the same, yet my experience maybe a little different.. my ex uncle in-law.. (if there is such a thing) use to work for Hershey, many moons ago we visited him and toured the factory. Being a chocoholic I bought myself a 5lb (~2.3kg) Hershey bar. Bought it all the way back to Australia and tried it and thought... WTF... so I gave It away.. fast forward many years and I actually enjoy Hershey. It is a different mind set.. don’t expect the smoothness.. I always use to say Hershey tasted like it was made from Gravox (an Australian gravy mix)... but a good gravy. 🤣
I don't know why but I got hooked on the fact they said Mal-teasers other then Mol-teasers even though it's spelt as Malteasers I would always say Mol-teasers. Am I the only one? 🇦🇺
Wait; what?
You managed to eat ONE Malteeser??!
That's impossible!
You must have a secret super power that means you can stop before eating the entire packet.
:D :D
May have had a few more off camera 😊
@@twotravelingkings Shhh. I promise I won't tell anybody :)
Cadbury sold in usa isn't the same as cadbury in oz alas :-( soooo so very glad Publix now sells violet crumbles!!! Next you should compare Boost bars to 100 Grands. Glad my ma has a box on the way to me, oh, you guys trying Allen's lollies would be fun to watch. Jaffas and Freckles too!
Nice!
Noone has mentioned Darrell Lea. Their red green and black licorice bullets (chocolate coated bites) are the best. Reece's chocolates are here too. They're excellent! 🇦🇺
Not a licorice fan lol
Check the wrapper, you'll find the "Aussie" Bounty isn't made in Australia any more, they are from the Netherlands. They've been imported for the last 3 years.
Interesting!
OMG Logan, a Malteser is pronounced “malt-teaser” ... “mawlt” as in Walt Disney and “tee-zuh” as in Julius Caesar
In his defence, he did pronounce it correctly later in the video. Maybe Jenny elbowed him and whispered in his ear? 😀
Lol oops 😬
What about Jaffas?
Had to Google what those were... Chocolate orange?... Never been a fan of that combo 😬
You may wish to try a deep fried Mars bar.
Sounds intense haha
G'day mate! how gos it?
😊 all good here
Given I'm nearly 40, it's sad to admit that one of the main appeals to Maltesers was teaching my toddler children the old school way of rolling said spherical choccies down the aisles at cinemas for distraction value. So if you the taste isn't quite your thing and you enjoy going to 4th rate movies - Maltesers are a great entertainer. Boost Bars...if you get them, indulge your senses
We've had a Boost bar! Very good 😊
I much prefer Violet Crumble over Crunchie. Perhaps a factor of my age demographic. 😊
😊👍
Yummy video
😊 thanks for watching!
You picked some of the best Aussie chocolate bars.
Did our best! 😊
@Logan, you're getting closer with that accent 😁
Lol getting there
Logan how can you not like Violet Crumble! It’s the best. Bounty however.... yuck. I really want to try a Butterfinger. Peanut butter and chocolate is a great combination.
Lol it's just not... My favorite 😊 yes butterfingers are great!
Keep in mind that Australian chocolate has additives to prevent melting in the hot Aussie sun!
What additives are these?
The only difference between Cadbury chocolate made in Australia and that made in the United Kingdom is the breed of cow that provide the milk.
Interesting
@@alexanderdickson419 I am open to be further informed by superior information
That Cadbury chocolate isn't Australian cause our packaging isn't currently shiny purple and plain with no pictures of the cups of pouring chocolate. I was confused and had to go check my own blocks in the cupboard! It looks like something that's imported into the US as it has the US weight conversion on the front. Even the size of the squares looked flat and odd! You won't get the full experience as Australian Cadbury has slightly different ingredients to stop it from melting. That Mars bar looked different too! Was it the UK one?
You guys DO have honeycomb but its named something else! Check out sponge toffee, sea foam candy, cinder toffee or hokey pokey. It's a very old fashioned candy.
Yes it is Australian lol.
I've seen Cadbury milk chocolate in similar packaging in Melbourne Australia
It's the same everywhere in Australia but sometimes it has different packaging for a limited time because you can win prizes for different things. I'm from Sydney.
The Mars bar is definitely the uk version. The logo is different
I know what the Aus blocks look like in person people as I have 3 blocks myself in front of me and I have grown up on it for years. It was really nice to be bombarded with commente like that!
I found this in a simple Google search: The Hershey Company owns the rights to manufacture Cadbury chocolate in the US. It banned imports of British-made Cadbury chocolate in 2015. British expats claim that Cadbury's chocolate in the US tastes nothing like its UK counterpart, but according to Hershey, there's barely any difference in the ingredients.
I knew that I have seen this packaging elsewhere as I like to browse those imported lolly shops online! All they have to do is look on the back of the packaging to see where it was made!
Good video. But it's really impossible to compare such dissimilar bars, When Hershey tried to introduce their product to Australia it failed miserably because it was considered to be such low quality. In Europe Hersheys doesn't even qualify as chocolate, but is called chocolate-flavoured. While we do accept it as chocolate, it's insufficient amount of cocoa made it unpopular here. Btw we pronounce them as car-a-mel, noogah (nougat) and mollteaser (malteaser).
Doing what we can :)
I think the biggest difference is that US chocolate uses corn syrup instead of cane sugar. IMHO corn syrup crests a nasty aftertaste.
👍👍
I made American buck eyes for Christmas, nobody like them here, to. Sweet.
Haha love buckeyes. Mainly because the peanut butter chocolate combo 😊
I’m Aussie and when I tried a Hershey bar for the first time I thought it was rancid. Aussie chocolate is so much better!
Fark the subsciption value (now I went to the end of the vid), your channel is lots of fun. Im sure I, as well as many other Aussies, will happily send you stuff because you now have Biden. Of course, speaking for myself I'll send you your faves because it's a cool thing to do and lots of fun and sans politics.
Thanks for the support ☺️
From Australia: didn’t you guys ever make honeycomb yourself with your mum in the kitchen with golden syrup and bicarb? It’s so easy to make! Plus we pronounce “nougat” the French way. I am surprised you don’t as you use Middle French to pronounce “herb” without the H, which no other country does!
Nope! Honeycomb is more of a breakfast cereal over here in the US than a candy 😆
Mate, they don't really use golden syrup in the US! It's very rare and expensive. They mostly use corn syrup. And they do have honeycomb but its under many other names like sponge candy, cinder toffee, sea foam candy, sponge toffee and hokey pokey.
@@lmaree200886 Ha ha funny names hey!
@@twotravelingkings Wow, you will eat anything for brekkie hey! Lol
Cadbury isn’t exactly Australian. We have a very different Milky Way, which is promoted as being light and won’t spoil your dinner. It’s so strange to me that an American company, Mars, is assumed to be Australian - Mars makes Mars Bars, M&Ms and lots of other bars etc, so there should be Mars bars and so on in the us as well.
Yep your milky way is just like our three musketeers 😊
Peanut brittle is the equivalent to your peanut butter bar
Australian snacks are the best :)
We've tried lots of them lol 😆
I'd be shocked if anything was better than most Aussie & Kiwi chocolate
😬
Aussie chocolate? Don’t know of much good original Aussie chocolate, Cadbury is British although we try and claim it as Australian. My opinion best main stream chocolate in Australia is Lindt, once again not Aussie. We have Haigh’s which is good but over priced. I use to hate Hershey chocolate, but I actually quite enjoy it now.
Out of curious, what would be the American equivalent of the Australian MilkyWay?
Two American friends sent my family us packages of American chocolates(including Kisses) a bit of a decade ago. We didn't like them at all. All we could taste was a sickly sweet chemical taste. It just didn't taste like anything but fake. At the same time, I did not grow up on much sweet foods and tried to do this with my children too.
Your milky way is our 3 Musketeers bar. It's in a silver packaging with blue and red text. it's pretty good but I'd rather just have a Snickers 😊
I feel that you should not have shoes zthe butter finger no won really likes them so I am surprised that you liked butter finger
Love peanut butter and chocolate 😊
I do to but I can’t stand the butter fingers 🤢🤢💩
all if not most mars products in australia are made in china takes 6 months from factory on to the loading docks and ship and into warehousing before it hits the shelves that is why lots of people are boycotting the products
POLLYWAFFLE!! o.O
hey ya go N / how ya garn
👍
Australia has a Milky Way too..
Our 3 Musketeers 😊
Im honestly not a fan of coconut in chocolate
It's good every now and then :)
American chocolate has a very small % of cocoa & a lot of additives, whereas our chocolate is much more pure chocolate in the ingredients - Aussie choc wins....
Jaffas
Hershey is the worst chocolate I’ve ever eaten. Vile.
They tried to enter the Aussie market in ‘87, but it was a dismal failure ‘Can’t hide a Hershey smile’. Within 6 months they had closed up and left.
They’ve never officially returned.
I have yet to find a chocolate I don't like.
I mean it's chocolate after all.
Also if you like honeycomb it's so easy to make.
Tru tru 😊
There is just no comparison between Cadbury and Hershey. Hands down Cadbury. Same as coffee. Almost any Aus cafe coffee far superior than that awful Starbucks dishwater.
Deep fried mars bars...there different
😊
