US vs UK Snickers | Food Wars
The reason for the vomit aftertaste in US chocolate is the use of Butyric acid in the production, which can also be found in vomit!
Someone has been watching QI ;)
@@Rubix78 funnily enough I've never watched a full episode lmao
Cheddar channel info I guess
@@dakshjhamb5514 I mean maybe. But not all get to see all this info, share all the info you can! :)
I guess I love the vomit taste 🤷🏾♂️
In the UK, you're missing the snickers within celebrations boxes! They're tiny! But still so good 🤤
I thought the same thing !
They are tiny tho
@@nathanjw93 nice name btw
@@nathand5294 You too 🔥
Was just going to comment they forgot celebration snickers - and I’m sure we have fun size in UK?
They should've done things like the snickers ice creams, milkshakes and proteins bars too! Would've been a good addition to the episode
Omg he actually tasted real chocolate I'm so happy for you bro
He should have had a chocolate bar that just straight chocolate thats the one thats really real
In the UK most chocolate bars have been decreasing in size but the price has remained the same. It’s also known as Shrinkflation
I think it's the same in most places
They do it to ceral as well!
Same in my country but the prices are increased thats called enflation x2
The taste has also gone downhill
It's partially cost saving/profit increasing, but it is mostly to try and keep the healthy-eating lobbyists off their back to avoid having sin taxes put on their products making the products more expensive with the company not getting the additional money off the consumer. That didn't work for the soft drinks industry (who spiked almost all their regular products with sweeteners to reduce the sugar content per serving well before the tax was passed), but seems to be fairing better for the confection industry.
I had a Kit Kat on my Italian honeymoon in 2019, on account of all the “chocolate in the EU is better than chocolate in America” stuff I’ve heard over the years. It’s 100% true. It’s so much better over there than over here.
Only one?
There is nestle company Kit Kat and Hershey company. The nestle company is so good the Hershey company ew.
I couldn’t believe how different the chocolate tasted when I went to the states for the first time, I honestly couldn’t put my finger on what was worse about it. It just was for some reason
I've not been to the states but I've had stuff brought by relatives. Peppermint bark and Ghiradelli are both nice. Hershey's isn't terrible like many other Brits say but I think its fairly average - it's not Dairy Milk (though I gather Hershey's does a licenced version of that). I didn't know they did KitKats in America until recently tbf
wait a second, you guys don’t have kit kat in the us??????
The editing in this one was hilarious as always. These videos keep getting better!
both of them just personality-wise feel like what we think of their perspective country
Yes😂 Joe is quite eccentric, and I love how charming Harry is.
Please never stop this show. These hosts are absolutely awesome, and love the content. Y'all got a perfect formula here!
The one thing I'm hoping they do when international travel opens up more is flying Harry to the US for Joe to take him on a tour of typical US eateries that aren't part of chains and vice versa.
These hosts are so bland 🤣
@@pantrywarriors9577 yes one hundred percent!!!!
@@pantrywarriors9577 they're the perfect combination of easy to listen to without being ~painfully~ boring, at least that's what I get out of em
So right love it
The vomit after taste is because of a a process called controlled lipolysis.
This breaks down the fatty acids in the milk and produces butyric acid - the chemical that gives vomit its very distinctive smell and acrid taste.
And since butyric acid is found in parmesan cheese, rancid butter - and vomit. People associate american chocolate with vomit
U good bro?
@@Lalo555 it’s true
USA the country that don't know how to eat properly. We in Mediterranean we have so good food. How American eat so many trash food and fast food?
Wtf does your vomit taste like, slightly weird milk?
@@mike0near Most Americans don’t eat fast food regularly🤷🏻♀️Because of the capitalism crisis, produce can be very expensive. This means that poorer people cannot always afford to buy “healthy” foods all of the time. The fast food industry targets impoverished people and supports extremely low minimum wages. This is all a cycle of capitalist greed! In wealthier areas, people are generally much healthier. And I agree…Mediterranean food is amazing!
3:45 The reason (at least I'm pretty sure after my extensive 30 minuter research) that our chocolate is different to the chocolate in Europe is because during WWII, soldiers were given an altered version of chocolate that contained Butyric Acid which made it last longer. After the war, the soldiers grew so used to that chocolate, Hershey's (and subsequently all other chocolate) was made to that altered formula.
Hope that helps!
Very interesting thanks
not true
@@cx3622 don’t just say that and not provide a reason why
@@crazyhiphopp i am a chocolate expert and i would know. What about you?
@@cx3622 no I don’t know at all I should just shut up
Love the revelation that UK / EU chocolate is so much greater than US
''Maybe we should do a food wars candy bars episode'' - Joe in the Christmas special
A million unknown restaurants later, we finally have it
in dislike people hate snickers
Greetings from Dc . please i know this info might not be for everybody but anyone finding it difficult to trade / invest should work with Helen Howard pratea on google she is an expert advisor i came across in a conference
@@ryanthompson8256 I think you're on the wrong website...
I’m surprised that the Celebrations size Snickers weren’t in the UK bits, I know you can’t buy them individually, but they do very much exist.
Same and you can actually get Snickers bites in the UK, too
You might be able to idk, I'm irish but I was in a shop around Christmas where they were selling the Maltesers celebrations individually - like basically celebrations but only maltesers
Love these videos - please don't stop making them
I seem to remember another missing bar. I don’t know if it was discontinued, but the us had a delicious snickers ice cream bar.
Not discontinued. I bought one and devoured it two days ago. My favorite form of snickers!
It's still around but it would be so much better with UK chocolate instead of the shitty American chocolate it's made with. That extra creamyness would just be 👌
The Mars one is unreal too, better when you let them melt a bit .. sometimes difficult to do
@@alicedoors4826 they do make UK snickers ice cream bars, and they are amazing
@@Jack-cq9pv I bet they are 😫
Do M&M’s next! In the UK we have loads of varieties
America has even more!
@@wil2209 are you sure
We even have a m&m's world
Never really had M&M's before because we don't have them in India we only have gems which is similar form of candy
@@prachiverma2605 where do u live bruh? They do sell M&M's in India
Really didn’t know the UK had more than just a regular snickers haha defo gonna have to look out for them!
I'm sure there's a Protein version (I guess for people that are at the gym but want a snack) and the bitesize ones in a packet. I don't recommend the Protein version.
@@DarrenBoss1984 they are in every sports direct and ive never seen anyone pick one up😂😂
You can get a white snickers bar from a post office store
Ireland
There was also a limited edition selection at one point
You Guys Should Do Soda(Example: Coca-cola, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr.Pepper Etc)
!!!
Yassss.... what I've been waiting for!!!💪🏽
I need that Slice n’ Share bar in the UK right now, but I will not be sharing
Absolutely!
I ordered one in as my birthday 'cake' about 6 years ago.....UK should totally make their own (yummier) version!
😞
Yh I’d eat that by myself, all alone and then listen to Pure Comedy by Father John Misty and feel intensely depressed. Then I would reassure myself that i’m fine by telling myself I need to fatten up. And then after that I’d get KFC and repeat the depression cycle. r/oddlyspecific
You deserve one 😊 That said, I'm disappointed that you referred to chocolate bars as candy bars lol
There's actually also a protein snickers bar in the uk
They missed the Snickers Protein we have in England. They're sooo good.
they missed some for the us as well
4:29 I laughed way more than I should have 😂
Lies again? Eat Snickers Institute College
Fun fact: The vomit taste from Hershys is actually from the Butyric Acid. It is also generated in our stomach. So you know why it tastes like vomit.
Copycat
Why is it in a candy bar though
Please tell me they don’t extract the acid directly from a human stomach? I literally don’t trust American food standards at all…..
@@Kratos-005 no, it's just a byproduct from their processing.
@@aefinn Thanks. It was a joke comment tho. :)
In the UK, some stores sell white chocolate Snickers!
I really do love the editing in these videos
I love this series!!
Looking forward to Kit Kat. They have so many varieties.
They should get Abroad In Japan to join in for that one, as they have hundreds of Kit Kat flavours in Japan.
@@alisonshellum9870 Or unfortunately (arguably) there isn't a host from Japan in this show.
@@jackryder5683 spoke too soon 😂
US v UK v Japan KitKat would be cool
We need a walkers v lays !!!
YES!
Lays are superior, every time I go on holiday to Europe or America I always have to bring some back. The dressing on lays are far superior
@@jamesverm_ Lay's Extra Virgin Olive Oil flavour is the best thing in the world
I’ve only tried lays OG it’s hard to find here in Australia at least different flavours but I would like to try more….
Cheese and onion walkers sandwiches mmmm. I still think walkers are the best, but maybe that's just my childhood talking.
There have been some great limited editions in the UK. There was an amazing hazlenut one, one with extra caramel and one with extra peanuts.
Theres also been a pecan one in the US and a 'More chocolate' one in germany i think
@sannio komi brug are you really gonna reply without liking my comment? You just broke the yt code my ex- friend
No Harry!!! You called the Snickers a CANDY BAR! Usually you’re true to our British terminology. Chocolate bar 😀. NOT candy bar!
Please do a Wendy’s UK vs USA! There’s finally a Wendy’s in the UK
If you ever go start with the JBC!
Wendy were actually in the UK until around 2001 when they buggered off for whatever reason. There used to be one by Kings X Station.
Its not a good thing....dont want to turn into america with lots of fast food....we don't need it
@@atlanta9286 oh shut it
there used to be loads but they closed down. i’m so glad they’re bringing them back tho!
The US Chocolate has Butyric acid in it which is one of our stomach acids and that's why to Europeans US Chocolate tastes like vomit
I'm European and it doesn't taste like vomit to me.
@@ottovonbismarck1375 That might be because your breath already tastes like vomit.
I’ve not tried much US chocolate but someone came back to our UK office. and brought some Hershey’s - I think they were called Hershey’s kisses or something? Might be wrong.
Anyway can entirely confirm - tasted and smelt like vomit. Was so bizarre! Obviously doesn’t to Americans so shows that it’s something you acclimatise to.
@@bganonimouse2754 😂😂
That's why Brexit exists...
Loved the video - UK Chocolate is amazing and I think you guys should make a video comparing UK chocolate brands like dairy milk to US brands - I know it’s been done but you’re so funny it would make a great video
Keep these videos rolling ❤️❤️❤️
i’ve never been early to one of these, but they’re very enjoyable so thanks for the content!
The hare in there made me laugh far more than it should, but thank you for making me smile :)
I now need a show of joe trying all us and uk chocolate variants
The almond snickers were available here in the uk for a while they were more expensive but one of the most enjoyable chocolate bars I’ve ever tasted - far superior to regular snickers x
I just love the US guy like he is just so damn funny
thanks!
You guys should do US Vs UK Costco food court.
Ooh, that sounds like a good video.
I'm sure someone has said this but US milk is transported long distances to the chocolate factories and it needs to be preserved so it doesn't go off. They add in butyric acid to preserve it which can also be found in vomit hence why you get the vomit flavour from a lot of US chocolate.
Please start to compare the taste more often, loved that part ^^
Honestly this series just make me not want to try anything that comes from the US more and more
I live in the US and I agree LOL
US food industry's number 1 priority is whatever is the cheapest and most cost-effective. You have to look specifically for products that aren't packed with chemicals and processed, but of course their prices are marked up. It'd be so easy for the US to use real cane sugar in their cokes like Mexico does, but using corn syrup is cheaper, even though Mexico is a 3rd world country and manages to use real sugar.
Lol it’s funny when Joe says “give me a break” on a video about snickers
Can I ask why?
We have Kit Kat’s in the UK that refer to “having a break” - is that a similar slogan / marketing message that’s used in the US for Snickers?
Lucinda Jane I’m from the uk as well, I just thought It was a coincidence that’s all
@@nyancs7098 ah gotcha!
So glad ur back!😩😩👌👌👌
Auntie Anne’s would be an interesting one to do! (Especially on portion sizes)
4:55 Legit lost my breath laughung at this🤣
There's white choc snickers in the UK now. I think it's limited time only
Food Wars was the only reason I subscribed to this channel
Great information. LOVE UK Chocolates!!!
We have fun size bars in the UK, and mini ones in Celebration boxes as well as Snickers ice cream bars and protein bars! 😁
Now we need Twix
I love this series mannn
No idea why but this may be my favourite episode
8:36 damn harry said that with much confidence
I just want to appreciate the editor 😂
I'm in Australia and I never really thought too much about Snickers bars before. I'm about to do food shopping and now my mind is going to be all on Snickers and the sizes and grams and what flavours we have here. I'm going to be so distracted on what I need to get because all I'll be thinking about is Snickers. Cheers, hahahaha
This was interesting to watch.
Bloody hell. Just when I thought they'd ran out off shops to compare, they drop this. That's it, they'll never run out of content lol
No matter how different they are, together they are a masterpiece
Great video. Love a snickers bar :))))
On my trips to NY, I would take a large amount of chocolates and shortbread biscuits for the teams there.
The flavours of KitKat from Tokyo were a revelation!
Fun to watch! You should do a Kit Kat one next. USA has a ton of different ones lately! I know we’re nowhere near close to Japan in flavors lol but still.
USA vs Japan: KitKat Edition
The matcha flavoured ones are amazing.
Addendum to the video, for those who are interested in Snickers: Snickers exists in an ice cream bar variant in the US, too, with possibly some more ice cream variants.
same here in the UK we have the snickers icecream bars too in regular and the crisp version.
When I first arrived in Florida on a 2 week holiday, me and my parents picked up some food from a shop nearby to where we were staying. I saw a Hershey’s bar and was like ‘OOH THATS THE THING’ and my mum bought it for me
I tried it, and I have never been so close to throwing up in a supermarket before
I have tried British chocolate as well as chocolate from other countries and they generally are better than the American versions. I grew up with Hershey's chocolate, but once I tried chocolate from Britain, Germany, and Belgium, Hershey seems kind of lame.
I like the Snickers of the UK since it has way less calories and a smaller size than the USA.
My dad went to america for Christmas last year and bought back the big snickers, I un assembled it and made a lovely moist cake. 😂
American Chocolate is made with Butyric Acid which comes from Lipolysis on Milk. The lipolysis makes the milk go sour and last longer which in turn also makes American Chocolate last longer. The Butyric Acid gives off the vomit taste to a lot of Europeans. Butyric Acid is found in vomit but also in other foods like Parmesan cheese.
Lil bits… perfect reference!
I think the main difference is not the portion sizes, but how many bars are in a bag. The bag sizes are ridiculous in the US.
i like how they are both funny but in completely different ways 💀
Why do I see the skull emoji eveywhere
@@samanthanobody5091 💀💀
Interesting video 👍
you guys are reaching for comparos! i'll keep watching
10:45
When you realize this bar has more veins than yours...
I hoped they would also include the other non-candy Snickers products - ice cream, shake, etc.
For another Food Wars ep. maybe?
We used to have Snickers flapjacks in the UK. Can’t find one for love nor money now.
Loved them.
In the uk we do get fun size snickers inside the ‘family favourites’ bags which are usually only bought around Halloween or to give out on birthdays at primary school.
and the tiny ones in Celebrations!
There is a hare on there. So whimsical. I still laughed
11:17 Literally the most American thing to do
Don´t hate, you would do it too if you had one.
@@longlivingdude as an American I can confirm to have done it...once.
@@longlivingdude *laughs in allergies*
If I found a snickers bar like that in my country I'm gonna eat it like that too
We have a white chocolate snickers, protein snickers bars and powder and tiny snickers in the box of ‘celebrations’ in the UK as well
I love the two hosts on this channel would love to have a pint with either of them and compare. Lol
Aren't there tiny snickers bars in UK celebrations boxes?
Thise is the type of content I subscribe for 🤤
THE BROWNIE ONE IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!! I AM LITERALLY EATING ONE RIGHT NOW!!!!!! HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE IT??????
I'm from Lithuania (a very far and small EU country) - we had Snickers Crisps for ages. Ours double size also is called 2x 75g. Bonus - we have candy sized ones. They all are franchized, made locally.
But we do have the fun size in the UK and we have the even smaller size within a celebrations tub!!!
We need an updated video!!!
8:17 Rick and Morty reference
We do have a fun size Snickers Bar in the UK & Ireland. But you usually find it in a Pick & Mix.
Thanks
5:22 what did I just hear😱😱😱
Ikr
We need lays vs walkers next
I was just thinking this
In the UK, the manufacturers agreed to get rid of the king size chocolate bars to reduce calories, then came out with the duo bars which had more calories but they were for "sharing"
I remember in the UK, in the 90s the King size version. Actually thought they were better the regular size.
Let's gooooo!!! The early bird catches the video! Is Joe going to be moving to the UK now for the chocolate?
We do have funsize bars in the UK, just only at Halloween 👍
Do a US vs UK Ben & Jerry's ice cream!
I would love to give the Snickers "bites" a try and will look!
