Fun fact: Coca Cola is the biggest selling soft drink in every country in the world in which it’s sold….EXCEPT in Scotland, where the top drink is Irn Bru
Probably because without the import tax it’s cheap as chips here. Obviously inflation has taken its toll but I mind a bottle of Irn-bru used to cost 69p as well so thats one of the reasons personally I prefer coke but when I was younger I would buy irn-bru coz it’s cheaper. Also I heard Pepsi outsells Coke in the states but Coke is much bigger worldwide.
Chilli Heatwave Doritos are elite tier crisps for sure. Orange chocolate is defo a love or hate it chocolate, but if you’re gonna judge Terrys, you’ve got to try the original milk chocolate whole orange, it’s a classic.

@@TheTwoFingeredBulldog ah so my family didn’t force it on me. Infact they banned me drinking it from 11-16 as I would go hyper on it. I just really love the taste.

The Daim bars used to be called Dime in the UK, it's still pronounced the same way. For Terry's Chocolate Orange, avoid the Easter release eggs and just go with the proper Chocolate Oranges themselves 😉👍
The DAIM chocolate and toffee bar was originally named the DIME bar in the United Kingdom. It was renamed in 2005 from DIME bar to DAIM bar. The name was changed in the UK to come in line with the rest of Europe where it was always DAIM, only in the UK and Ireland was it named DIME bar. There is also another DAIM bar made by Cadbury's that is called Milka Daim Bar. The one you have there is originally made by Marabou a Norwiegen and Swedish company, but now owned by Mondelez international an American multi national company. Daim bar is not sold in the USA.

Irn Bru used to be called Iron Brew but the trading standards authority told the makers to change the name because there is no iron in it and it isn't brewed. I think the new name is clever because it makes no claims and sounds about the same as the Scots would have pronounced the original name. It's made in Scotland and outsells Coca Cola there.
It used to be made a couple of miles from me in Mansfield, England. Glad they now make it in Scotland, because 'made in Mansfield from girders' just doesn't have the same ring to it.

As a Scottish girl, not many people that aren’t from here like irn bru, I remember it not even being popular in England u til the last 10 years but I absolutely love it, nothing compares to the flavour 😂❤️ it’s a great hangover cure!
I just found out that my local small store has irn bru, So going to buy one just to try it out of curiosity, lol. Edit. Tasted it today, not bad at all, reminds me of one bubble gum we have and one caffeine drink called Vita Nova. Would not drink it often though because of lots of all the ”bad” things in it.
I genuinely gave a brief clap when you said you'd actually refrigerated the Irn Bru. It really is one of those drinks that's not great at room temp, but really good cold. Randoms are amazing. Love me a bag of Randoms. Chilli Doritos aren't too hot. There are definitely way hotter crisps out there. Aaah, Daim bars. chewy on the outside, crunchy on the inside.

@Melanie Kendall Yes they fucking are! Stop being so bloody pedantic. Technically they are tortilla chips. Which is a kind of crisps. Crisps isn’t defined by what makes it it’s just a category of snacks regardless if they’re made from potato’s or corn or whatever the fuck!
@Paul Leach Are you actually trolling mate? Like this new ads where they try and guess the flavour. I hope you are coz you’re embarrassing yourself if you’re serious about the ginger or iron lol
I got so excited when I saw Irn Bru at the local Publix because I grew up overseas and loved them, got one just for myself , thinking the kids (11 and 7) would hate it. They took a sip and both loved it. Now I have to get 3 every time I go to Publix lol
Daim bar the UK bar is called Dime... not Daim... It says the same thing - just with a different spelling. The UK, however, held out in the face of pressure from Swedish manufacturers Marabou.

the Iron bru recipe did get changed to accommodate the implementation of sugar tax in the UK, has less sugar in it now, but can get glass bottles of original 1901 recipe though which is better.
Irn Bru is an aquired taste, even here in the UK. It's more popular in Scotland. If you can get your hands on a Terry's Chocolate Orange (a whole one, milk chocolate) that's the one we all love over here. Do you have a PO Box or something similar, your viewers would send you so many snacks! 😂
No, I don't think that's true, we definitely don't all love it. Everything is subjective I suppose, we all have different palettes, but I can't stand Terry's Chocolate Orange's. I suppose it's worth a try if exploring new flavours, after all none of us know what we like until we've had an experience, but ALL is way too much of a blanket statement.
Terry's chocolate orange is my favourite 😍 for Christmas a few years ago I heard they were going to be smaller sizes I was gutted and because i was gutted i got 7 Terry's choc oranges 🤣 my family though it would be funny and keep me quiet for a while to all get me 1 each 🤣
Technically M'n'Ms taste like smarties rather than the other way around... theres a historical reason why. In WWII an American soldier was given some smarties by a British soldier, he then went on to start the Mars and Murray corporation in the US.
Great video! I love how you "clink" the crisps or sweets before you eat them! 😂 Love your reactions too - the facial expressions, especially by Anna say it all! LOL! I love Doritos too - I use them instead of nachos and put about 3 bags of them (different flavours) into an ovenproof dish, add some chili con carne, top with sour cream, guacamole dip, tomato salsa, cheese sauce (usually from a tex-mex dip selection) and extra chilies and warm it all up in the oven! 😜 Or add the toppings afterwards if you'd rather have them cold. Either way, they make a great meal...quick and easy, I love 'em! 😊
Iron brew needs to be cold from the fridge,your smarties are sort of like our refreshers but without your additives,but there's def better uk snacks to try
I'd love to see the aftermath of this video, when the Sugar Rush kicks in, followed by the inevitable crash 😂. Love these videos, you're a very likable couple
I think a lot of these things have childhood connections. Like the memory of putting the hula hoops on your fingers and biting them off. Or chocolate oranges and quality streets being something you'd get at Christmas so you grew up seeing them as a treat. I would never say yuck to a chocolate orange lol. Orange and mint flavour chocolate was always a thing here
You should try the cadburys crunchie bar. Every American I know that’s had one have said it’s the best thing they’ve had. Also - try out crumpets with a large spread of butter
Currently in the UK we have Doritos Chilli Heatwave Chicken Fries. They're good. Also with crisps, no-one ever seems to get/try Nik Naks. I highly recommended the Nice N Spicy flavour.
Chilli heatwave Doritos are sooo good dipped in Camembert that’s been cooked with garlic clove slices and honey. My favourite snack at Christmas time. Also the Daim bars are pronounced Dime. Love watching your videos!😊
'Dime' bars were a feature of my childhood. I thought Daim were imported Dimes (there's some shops selling exactly the same as our products but reduced price with foreign packaging), but they just changed the name. Apparently it's the original Swedish name.
I'm from Scotland, love irn bru, but you got the new recipe stuff. With changed sugar laws you got the drink with less sugar in it. You need to try and find the irn bru 1901. That's the original full sugar recipe- it costs more due to the sugar content, hear in the uk the sugar content affects the cost of the drink to buy! So try irn bru 1901
You guys are awesome. 😂 Have you ever thought about trying the traditional "English breakfast"? Im personally not a huge fan, but 90% of us in UK are. Check it out and let us know.
You should try. (In no particular order). Fry's Turkish Delight. Cadburys Caramac, Everton Mints, Fisherman's Friends, Lion Bar, Skips, Parmaviolets, Trebor Softmints, Sour Cheese and Chive Snack a' Jacks, Cadburys Crunchie, Milky Way, Double Decker, Toffee Pop, Mint Clubs. After Eight Mints.
Cold drinks taste better because (counter-intuitively) you're tasting less of the flavour. Your taste buds are temperature-sensitive and chilling a drink reduces their sensitivity and results in a muting of strong sweet, acerbic, or bitter flavours. Also, as a result of chilling, the molecules in the drink are moving around less and so fewer of the molecules responsible for the flavour make contact with the taste buds. The same applies for scent, btw, which is why bread fresh out of the oven smells more strongly than it does the next day and why fresh, wet manure smells less strongly than old, dry manure; fewer of the molecules responsible for scent have the energy necessary to aerosolise and make it to the receptors in the nasal cavity. As for the glass vs. plastic thing, that's pretty easy to explain too. Glass is chemically inert - the drink and the glass don't chemically react with one another at all, no matter how long its in the bottle. The same cannot be said of plastic, which does chemically react with the drink inside (especially if its acidic, which almost always is the case - especially for soft drinks) altering the taste as polymers from the plastic leech into the drink.
@@johngreen6375 I'm a truck driver and so far I've only found the glass bottles in Scotland, if I find a source anywhere near Manchester, I'll be visiting regularly 😀
The IRN BRU glass bottles are available in England, they have them in B&M stores. Also the Corner shop local to me in Eastern England sells all Barrs soft drinks in glass bottles, IRN BRU, cream soda, cola, orangeade, Pineapple and ginger beer. They even gave you 20p back for returning the bottles but sadly they stopped that about 7 years ago, but they still sell the glass bottled drinks but you just recycle the bottles now.
British Smarties are like M&Ms, but the shell of some smarties is actually slightly fruit flavour, if you seperate them and eat them separately you'll notice a subtle difference, the orange ones are orange flavoured, they sell them separately, or did for a while.
Heya guys, sorta stumbled across your channel and glad i did, im from the UK, wales in fact so im welsh, seein you react to wat our evryday things are is pretty hillarious, keep it up 👊🇬🇧🇬🇧😎
You definitely need to try a selection of Cadbury's Chocolate. Hersheys have the rights to sell Cadbury in the USA but they banned it in 2015 because they know it's so good it would put them out of business
Like has already been said, since Cadbury was bought by Kraft it has gone downhill. I would have a bar of Dairy Milk on the way to work most mornings and since Kraft bought it I have probably had a few bars which have been thoroughly disappointing in comparison. It was destined to go downhill being bought by an American company I guess 😅😅
I try to avoid Cadbury's Chocolate products since the US Kraft takeover changed the recipes and moved production out of the UK. But if given the choice between Cadbury and Hershey, Cadbury would always win.
@@shady8479 It happened 13 years ago now. If you weren't eating them regularly at the time you may never notice but the quality decreased a noticeable amount if you did.
The DAIM bars used to me called DIME bars until they changed the name to fall in line with Europe ( ? )!! They contain almond caramel pieces which give the slightly nutty taste
Forget Doritos, you need some haggis and cracked black pepper flavoured Mackies or Thai sweet chicken flavoured McCoys. Mackies also make good ice cream. And if you want to experience proper Scottish cuisine then all you need to do is cover anything you want in batter and deep fry it. 🤣 Deep fried battered pizza is a delicacy here in Scotland. Fun fact, the American smarties were originally made using machines that made gunpowder pellets during the war.
Smarties are usually just given to kids. They have less artificial colourings & sugar so they are given to younger ones. More (but not all) Adult in uk will eat M&M’s.
@@sarahigham4381 Never noticed them, although I don't shop at ASDA regularly. A quick Google says they are a Swedish-Norwegian brand. Maybe I'll give them a try.
I like it when the Irrn Bru goes flat and the flavour is a bit different, more metallic, especially because it's too fizzy for me. Daim actually has ground nuts in it too which makes it taste a bit better than plain toffee. Randoms are basically a UK producers version of the famous German candy Haribo because Rowantrees are rivals. I love heatwave doritos ❤❤❤
We also have these M&M chocolate bars where the chocolate of the bar itself isn't the same as what's inside the M&Ms, it's Mars chocolate (Galaxy) instead. Very nice actually.
I'm not sure if you read comments but if you do you seriously need to try putitng a good layer of Chilli Heatwave Doritos on a cheese sandwich 😀😀 it's life changing trust me 😊
Iron Brue has changed recently the sugar has been lowered and changed for more sweetners, original is still obtainable in some parts sells at a premiun cost , best hangover cure!
Sadly it's no longer available in its proper form due to the sugar tax. At least in England, maybe in Scotland you can still buy the OG Irn Bru but last time I bought one in London it had been ruined by sweeteners. Same with Ribena.
Jaffa cakes are pukka, Orange first favourite, lemon and lime second favourite, the other flavours I don't care for. Although the Orange Jaffa cakes are not actually Orange and never have been, they are actually made with Apricot jam with a little Tangerine oil added, so the marketing has always been a little misleading.
Smarties came before M&Ms. Hell, M&M's even lost a patent for a tube shaped pack because it was pointed out Smarties did that long before them. Admittedly as a kid in Canada (where the majority of them are made) they often were treated as the cheaper alternative to M&Ms. But I find they are an interesting alternative since the coating plays a more important role with Smarties as it is thicker, more prominent and creates more variety of flavour than a pack of M&Ms. I had my favourite order of colours for Smarties, but never noticed any difference for M&Ms. Once upon a time (before I was born) the different coloured shells even had different flavours of chocolate within, but that's long gone.

Hi guys those chilly Doritos are just amazing with cheddar cheese 🧀 Doritos open the two bags or more together on a plate and grate lots of cheese on them an pop them in the microwave for about 30 or so mins until the cheese melts in and viola you’re in for a kick of the lux 😋 yum , also smarties are yum eating a few together as well , my favourite hula hoop s gotta be salt n vinegar the flavours are really really bril and stick them on every finger for fun way , Also starbursts are a massive hit they are fruity and mouth watery, dime or diam bars are my favourite I put them in the fridge yum they taste fabulous, I’m not a iron Bru drinker much but if I get one I’ll drink ice cold it’s better cold irun bru makes me burp a lot 😂 I love your videos don’t stop love chez 🇬🇧
Gonna throw some recomendations for you guys to try, for Nestle bars you can only get in the UK Toffee crisp, Yorkie, Rolos and Aero bars. For cadburys theres Wispa gold, twirl, Crunchie and Star Bars. And in terms of crisps/chips Walkers max hot wing flavour and KP Roysters T-bone steak flavour are decent. More so the Roysters as they have the USA flag on packs despite being made in England lol
You gotta try American cream soda we call it the green stuff not the minging white/clearish cream soda. And tizer. A cool can of tizer on a hot day is awesome and bass shandy
The best way to eat Daim (or dime as it was once called) is to refrigerate it, then suck all the chocolate off and finally let the centre dissolve in your mouth. Mwah chefs kiss !
Daim bar used to be spelt Dime bar, not sure why they changed it. We have a drink called Lucosade, a bit better than Irn Bru in my opinion. Used to come in big glass bottles with cellophane around the neck and we used to get it as kids when we were sick "Give 'im some Lucosade, He'll be right". Tizer is another great British pop You should do something about UK snacks we don't get anymore in the UK. Spangles, we used to call Snickers Marathon. Ooh and Texan bar, there's no one here who doesn't wish they still made Texan bars

Yeah, it's pronounced Dime, but the packaging definitely currently matches what we saw here.
@@mlee6050 Say it how it's spelt. Remember, "you never forget your first Dime!" Harry Enfield, Dime Bar ads.
"That bloke's a nutter, oi, nutter!"
"Armadillo, soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside!"
Nah it’s called daim now. They changed the name from dime
@@DonnyRP yeah he said that, it used to be spelt dime, but they changed it back to daim. we still pronounce it dime though
The orange smarties actually have orange chocolate inside. the others are just chocolate. I used to save the orange ones for last.
Not anymore, the orange ones she’ll is now infused with orange oil, chocolate is the same inside now
Surprised no chilli heatwave doritos over the pond. Keep your eyes peeled for McCoy's meaty flavours. The flame grilled steak is a beeeeefy boyo 👌🏻😉🔥
the Iron bru recipe did get changed to accommodate the implementation of sugar tax in the UK, has less sugar in it now, but can get glass bottles of original 1901 recipe though which is better.
Irn Bru is an aquired taste, even here in the UK. It's more popular in Scotland. If you can get your hands on a Terry's Chocolate Orange (a whole one, milk chocolate) that's the one we all love over here. Do you have a PO Box or something similar, your viewers would send you so many snacks! 😂
I love it in a milkshake
We actually do have Terry's chocolate Orange here in the US, during Easter and Christmas only,
No, I don't think that's true, we definitely don't all love it. Everything is subjective I suppose, we all have different palettes, but I can't stand Terry's Chocolate Orange's. I suppose it's worth a try if exploring new flavours, after all none of us know what we like until we've had an experience, but ALL is way too much of a blanket statement.
Walmart sells about ten different flavors of Terry's chocolate orange but only at Christmas. I love the one with the popping candy.
Terry's chocolate orange is my favourite 😍 for Christmas a few years ago I heard they were going to be smaller sizes I was gutted and because i was gutted i got 7 Terry's choc oranges 🤣 my family though it would be funny and keep me quiet for a while to all get me 1 each 🤣
Love your reaction when you bit into the Daim bar JT 😂
Facial expression was like "holy crap what is this!?" 🤣
Technically M'n'Ms taste like smarties rather than the other way around... theres a historical reason why. In WWII an American soldier was given some smarties by a British soldier, he then went on to start the Mars and Murray corporation in the US.
& he printed m's on every one of them, to avoid court battles!
I've been telling people this for years!!
@@jamespasifull They lost a case in one of the Scandinavian countries though because that 'm' looked too much like the 'm' on a local sweet/candy.
I never knew that 😂 I love how he made that company though, cause I love M and Ms.
Great video! I love how you "clink" the crisps or sweets before you eat them! 😂 Love your reactions too - the facial expressions, especially by Anna say it all! LOL!
I love Doritos too - I use them instead of nachos and put about 3 bags of them (different flavours) into an ovenproof dish, add some chili con carne, top with sour cream, guacamole dip, tomato salsa, cheese sauce (usually from a tex-mex dip selection) and extra chilies and warm it all up in the oven! 😜 Or add the toppings afterwards if you'd rather have them cold. Either way, they make a great meal...quick and easy, I love 'em! 😊
We definitely need a part 2
You guys are adorable 😊 I’d love to see you react to the videos of British high school kids trying American stuff
Over here in Britain, it's tradition to get a tube of smarties in your stocking at Christmas.
Yeah, a great big tube. 😁
OMG can’t believe the Jaffa cake disrespect. They are fire 🔥🤣
Anna saying smarties taste like M&M's is funny because my first impression of M&M's was that they just tasted like big smarties.
Smarties are older than M&Ms, so we can guess where the Yanks got the idea from.
Smarties are way better, M&Ms are too hard
Yes. Smarties are better but peanut M&M's are quite nice too.
I love u guys!!! LOL. You both work well together and have a fantastic sense of humour! 🤣😗
Iron brew needs to be cold from the fridge,your smarties are sort of like our refreshers but without your additives,but there's def better uk snacks to try
I absolutely love you both as you both make me laugh and go weak at the knees when you do a po box video
I'd love to see the aftermath of this video, when the Sugar Rush kicks in, followed by the inevitable crash 😂. Love these videos, you're a very likable couple
I think a lot of these things have childhood connections. Like the memory of putting the hula hoops on your fingers and biting them off. Or chocolate oranges and quality streets being something you'd get at Christmas so you grew up seeing them as a treat. I would never say yuck to a chocolate orange lol. Orange and mint flavour chocolate was always a thing here
You should try the cadburys crunchie bar. Every American I know that’s had one have said it’s the best thing they’ve had. Also - try out crumpets with a large spread of butter
Currently in the UK we have Doritos Chilli Heatwave Chicken Fries. They're good.
Also with crisps, no-one ever seems to get/try Nik Naks. I highly recommended the Nice N Spicy flavour.
If you don't start pronouncing Irn Bru correctly, we'll start pronouncing Mtn Dew as Mutton D'yoo in retaliation.
The chilli heatwave with the sour cream dip is my ting ❤❤
I would say try the original Terry's milk chocolate orange. And monster munch crisps pickle onion flavour
Hello from Scotland! sorry to see you didn't like irn-bru, its personally in my top 5 maybe 3 of fizzy drinks (soda)
"We're not orange chocolate people"
*eats the orange flavoured Smarties*
"They're good!"
I was going to say Smarties don't have flavours. Then I found out they don't, EXCEPT the orange one 😮
@@zoeadams2635 Yeah, I always thought that was weird lol
Apparently there was once a coffee one too but people didn't like it
Chilli heatwave Doritos are sooo good dipped in Camembert that’s been cooked with garlic clove slices and honey. My favourite snack at Christmas time. Also the Daim bars are pronounced Dime. Love watching your videos!😊
In fairness though... Dip most things in camembert and it's awesome
Daim not any toffee its Butterscotch
'Dime' bars were a feature of my childhood.
I thought Daim were imported Dimes (there's some shops selling exactly the same as our products but reduced price with foreign packaging), but they just changed the name. Apparently it's the original Swedish name.
You really should have the salsa dip with Doritos, of which there are several types.
I'm from Scotland, love irn bru, but you got the new recipe stuff.
With changed sugar laws you got the drink with less sugar in it. You need to try and find the irn bru 1901. That's the original full sugar recipe- it costs more due to the sugar content, hear in the uk the sugar content affects the cost of the drink to buy! So try irn bru 1901
You guys are awesome. 😂 Have you ever thought about trying the traditional "English breakfast"? Im personally not a huge fan, but 90% of us in UK are. Check it out and let us know.
How can u not like a fry. Its amazing
Has to have fried bread
A Scottish is better, basically a full English but with tattie scones 😋
@@scotland638 don't forget the haggis and black pudding 🤤
@@scotland638 and a slice of haggis. Mind you, just a slice of haggis and a fried egg in a roll is delicious.
You should try. (In no particular order). Fry's Turkish Delight. Cadburys Caramac, Everton Mints, Fisherman's Friends, Lion Bar, Skips, Parmaviolets, Trebor Softmints, Sour Cheese and Chive Snack a' Jacks, Cadburys Crunchie, Milky Way, Double Decker, Toffee Pop, Mint Clubs. After Eight Mints.
For me, the best tasting irn bru is ice cold from a glass bottle. I can only find it in Scotland tho, I don't know why there's a huge difference.
My local Sainsbury’s sell the glass bottles of Irn Bru and I live on the south coast of England.
Cold drinks taste better because (counter-intuitively) you're tasting less of the flavour. Your taste buds are temperature-sensitive and chilling a drink reduces their sensitivity and results in a muting of strong sweet, acerbic, or bitter flavours. Also, as a result of chilling, the molecules in the drink are moving around less and so fewer of the molecules responsible for the flavour make contact with the taste buds. The same applies for scent, btw, which is why bread fresh out of the oven smells more strongly than it does the next day and why fresh, wet manure smells less strongly than old, dry manure; fewer of the molecules responsible for scent have the energy necessary to aerosolise and make it to the receptors in the nasal cavity.
As for the glass vs. plastic thing, that's pretty easy to explain too. Glass is chemically inert - the drink and the glass don't chemically react with one another at all, no matter how long its in the bottle. The same cannot be said of plastic, which does chemically react with the drink inside (especially if its acidic, which almost always is the case - especially for soft drinks) altering the taste as polymers from the plastic leech into the drink.
@@johngreen6375 I'm a truck driver and so far I've only found the glass bottles in Scotland, if I find a source anywhere near Manchester, I'll be visiting regularly 😀
The IRN BRU glass bottles are available in England, they have them in B&M stores. Also the Corner shop local to me in Eastern England sells all Barrs soft drinks in glass bottles, IRN BRU, cream soda, cola, orangeade, Pineapple and ginger beer. They even gave you 20p back for returning the bottles but sadly they stopped that about 7 years ago, but they still sell the glass bottled drinks but you just recycle the bottles now.
@@martinwebb1681 I think I'll have to drop into b and m tomorrow then, 👍
British Smarties are like M&Ms, but the shell of some smarties is actually slightly fruit flavour, if you seperate them and eat them separately you'll notice a subtle difference, the orange ones are orange flavoured, they sell them separately, or did for a while.
If you like barbecue flavour, you should definitely try bbq cheddars they are banging
Heya guys, sorta stumbled across your channel and glad i did, im from the UK, wales in fact so im welsh, seein you react to wat our evryday things are is pretty hillarious, keep it up 👊🇬🇧🇬🇧😎
The next time I find the original recipe version of Irn Bru I will send some. Its much better than the standard stuff.
That's not the original? Where can I get the original?
@@MonkeyButtMovies1 You'll have to travel back in time 😂
@@MonkeyButtMovies1 the last place I saw it was home bargains. Its called something like 1902.
No, it’s all nasty
😂😂😂 the way you say Jaffa Cakes is brilliant!
You definitely need to try a selection of Cadbury's Chocolate. Hersheys have the rights to sell Cadbury in the USA but they banned it in 2015 because they know it's so good it would put them out of business
It's not as good as it used to be before Kraft bought the out and changed the recipe.
Like has already been said, since Cadbury was bought by Kraft it has gone downhill. I would have a bar of Dairy Milk on the way to work most mornings and since Kraft bought it I have probably had a few bars which have been thoroughly disappointing in comparison. It was destined to go downhill being bought by an American company I guess 😅😅
I try to avoid Cadbury's Chocolate products since the US Kraft takeover changed the recipes and moved production out of the UK. But if given the choice between Cadbury and Hershey, Cadbury would always win.
I didn't know that craft had bought Cadbury, and changed the recipe, wtf did they do that, ijits
Haven't had cadburies in a long time now
@@shady8479 It happened 13 years ago now. If you weren't eating them regularly at the time you may never notice but the quality decreased a noticeable amount if you did.
The DAIM bars used to me called DIME bars until they changed the name to fall in line with Europe ( ? )!! They contain almond caramel pieces which give the slightly nutty taste
You need to try those chilli Doritos dipped in sour cream and chive dip 🤤
I don’t even think we sell ironbru anymore. Love the randoms, the ones with the white squishy stuff on the back rare amazing
You can tell you’ve been brought up on Hershey shit chocolate 😂
Forget Doritos, you need some haggis and cracked black pepper flavoured Mackies or Thai sweet chicken flavoured McCoys. Mackies also make good ice cream. And if you want to experience proper Scottish cuisine then all you need to do is cover anything you want in batter and deep fry it. 🤣 Deep fried battered pizza is a delicacy here in Scotland.
Fun fact, the American smarties were originally made using machines that made gunpowder pellets during the war.
Imported Haggis is Banned in the US, due to the sheeps lung that is used.
Used to be the old advert for Terry's, wit
h the catchline "It's not Terry's, it's MINE' xD
Smarties are usually just given to kids. They have less artificial colourings & sugar so they are given to younger ones. More (but not all) Adult in uk will eat M&M’s.
Na downing a whole £1 Christmas tube of Smarties as an adult gets me through the year 😅
I'm 61 & I have loved Smarties my whole life!! 😋
@@jamespasifull great. I did say usually and not only.
@@Unhelpful_Goose great. I did say usually and not only
I prefer Smarties, and I ain't no kid. I have always preferred Smarties because they are far better. 😉
I've never seen Daim bars in the UK. Your Smarties look like what we call "Refreshers".
They sell them in Asda
@@sarahigham4381 Never noticed them, although I don't shop at ASDA regularly. A quick Google says they are a Swedish-Norwegian brand. Maybe I'll give them a try.
They sell them in Ikea aswell and you can also buy the Daim cake from the restaurant ☺
You can get Daim cheesecakes and Daim cake!
They sell Daim bars everywhere in the uk every shop I go to sells them
I live in Scotland and have just come across this channel a.d have to say loving all the videos xx❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'd like to see a review of Brits trying American chocolate 👍🇬🇧🤢😉
Projectile vomit everywhere 😂
The only Brit I would subject to that kind of punishment is James Corden.
Pretty sure there’s international law about torture by Hersey’s, or there should be.
Is it even technically real chocolate?
@@morbidsnails1913 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like it when the Irrn Bru goes flat and the flavour is a bit different, more metallic, especially because it's too fizzy for me. Daim actually has ground nuts in it too which makes it taste a bit better than plain toffee. Randoms are basically a UK producers version of the famous German candy Haribo because Rowantrees are rivals. I love heatwave doritos ❤❤❤
We also have haribos but I’d say ransoms are nicer 😅
I'm similar if i have Irn Bru i usually open it and let it sit for a while
The sweets that you call Smarties are called Refreshers in the UK
i thought love hearts. are smarties fizzy?
@@scottythedawg love hearts are similar, but refreshers are definitely the American style smarties
We also have these M&M chocolate bars where the chocolate of the bar itself isn't the same as what's inside the M&Ms, it's Mars chocolate (Galaxy) instead. Very nice actually.
I'm not sure if you read comments but if you do you seriously need to try putitng a good layer of Chilli Heatwave Doritos on a cheese sandwich 😀😀 it's life changing trust me 😊
Highly doubt it
Iron Brue has changed recently the sugar has been lowered and changed for more sweetners, original is still obtainable in some parts sells at a premiun cost , best hangover cure!
Irn Bru is a bit of an acquired taste. I like it, but it's rather unique in flavour compared to other soft drinks.
Sadly it's no longer available in its proper form due to the sugar tax. At least in England, maybe in Scotland you can still buy the OG Irn Bru but last time I bought one in London it had been ruined by sweeteners. Same with Ribena.
Daim is a Swedish chocolate. We call it a Dime Bar as that was what it used to be called before they standardise the name across EU
Irn Bru is the only soft drink around the world that has removed Coca Cola from the Number 1 best selling soft drink
The old irn Bru is better than the new one. They replaced a lot of the sugar with artificial sweetener giving it a bitter aftertaste.
With the hoola hoops you have to put one on every finger to eat them. ❤️🇬🇧
love you and anna , you guys are awsome love from west yorkshire guys
Great reviews, funny! A lot of British snacks and sweets have been ruined due to the sugar, fat and salt police. 😠
Hula hoops are round and they will be around forever!
This quote is off a hula hoop advert with Harry Enfield doing the advert.
Jaffa cakes, nasty!! I’m outraged 😂
They are nasty cheap cake and dried marmalade with chocolate 🤢
@@thebristolianmackem2039 😂 each to their own! I love them with a cuppa.
I can take them or leave them,the bottom taste like a baby rusk to me🤷🏴
Jaffa cakes are pukka, Orange first favourite, lemon and lime second favourite, the other flavours I don't care for. Although the Orange Jaffa cakes are not actually Orange and never have been, they are actually made with Apricot jam with a little Tangerine oil added, so the marketing has always been a little misleading.
@@belindakennedy5828 I have a niece, nephew and many god children, but I’ve never tasted a rusk! Also, hello from a fellow Scot!
Smarties came before M&Ms. Hell, M&M's even lost a patent for a tube shaped pack because it was pointed out Smarties did that long before them. Admittedly as a kid in Canada (where the majority of them are made) they often were treated as the cheaper alternative to M&Ms. But I find they are an interesting alternative since the coating plays a more important role with Smarties as it is thicker, more prominent and creates more variety of flavour than a pack of M&Ms. I had my favourite order of colours for Smarties, but never noticed any difference for M&Ms. Once upon a time (before I was born) the different coloured shells even had different flavours of chocolate within, but that's long gone.
I remember some were dark chocolate
Smarties look like refreshers we have in the UK. I’m heading to USA in July so May bring some stuff and post whilst I’m in the US
The photo on your wall is from my home town Lincoln! I thought I recognised it when I saw it! It's showing the view from the overpass bridge on Melville Street of Lincoln Cathedral!
You guys are great! Like the videos. Keep on posting
Love how you have my home city in your back ground! Lincoln Cathedral
Hi guys those chilly Doritos are just amazing with cheddar cheese 🧀 Doritos open the two bags or more together on a plate and grate lots of cheese on them an pop them in the microwave for about 30 or so mins until the cheese melts in and viola you’re in for a kick of the lux 😋 yum , also smarties are yum eating a few together as well , my favourite hula hoop s gotta be salt n vinegar the flavours are really really bril and stick them on every finger for fun way , Also starbursts are a massive hit they are fruity and mouth watery, dime or diam bars are my favourite I put them in the fridge yum they taste fabulous, I’m not a iron Bru drinker much but if I get one I’ll drink ice cold it’s better cold irun bru makes me burp a lot 😂 I love your videos don’t stop love chez 🇬🇧
Gonna throw some recomendations for you guys to try, for Nestle bars you can only get in the UK Toffee crisp, Yorkie, Rolos and Aero bars.
For cadburys theres Wispa gold, twirl, Crunchie and Star Bars.
And in terms of crisps/chips Walkers max hot wing flavour and KP Roysters T-bone steak flavour are decent. More so the Roysters as they have the USA flag on packs despite being made in England lol
Love your channel, you guys are great! Big love from the UK!
You gotta try American cream soda we call it the green stuff not the minging white/clearish cream soda. And tizer. A cool can of tizer on a hot day is awesome and bass shandy
The best way to eat Daim (or dime as it was once called) is to refrigerate it, then suck all the chocolate off and finally let the centre dissolve in your mouth. Mwah chefs kiss !
Still call it Dime Bar. Crunchy on the outside Soft in the middle Armadillo. Love you both
Daim bars are actually Swedish, but very popular in the UK.
Daim bar used to be spelt Dime bar, not sure why they changed it. We have a drink called Lucosade, a bit better than Irn Bru in my opinion. Used to come in big glass bottles with cellophane around the neck and we used to get it as kids when we were sick "Give 'im some Lucosade, He'll be right". Tizer is another great British pop
You should do something about UK snacks we don't get anymore in the UK. Spangles, we used to call Snickers Marathon. Ooh and Texan bar, there's no one here who doesn't wish they still made Texan bars
Try and get hold of a jar of cockles. I also recommend Bombay mix or more spicier Balti mix as snacks.
We have the equivalent of your smarties here in the UK, but they're called refreshers over here.
