Yes it's just potato oil & salt in the UK. It's the same for most products. You can Google it. Crazy how many ingredients are in the American versions of things.
My mother used to give me cereal - all sorts of sugary stuff (that was legal here in the UK anyway). But my son had none of it, and now he's 28 he still doesn't eat anything other than oats or a sandwich. I stopped eating that junk sugar cereal when I left home. Similar to you, I eat oats, a few raisins, yoghurt instead of milk, blueberries, blackcurrants, a pinch each of chia seed, flax seeds, cocoa powder, bran, and some spices. I'm actually quite impressed these school kids are mostly unimpressed with these cereals. A bit disappointed that the responsible adult in the room rather enjoys them and would feed some of this stuff to his own kids.
You can tell it's a good school, because the pupils are smartly-dressed and intelligent and articulate in their reactions. Also the headmaster has a sense of humour! lol
For crying out loud fellas, you only had to taste these foods. To have one spoonful and say “no not for me i” and pull a face, then you picked up the spoon and kept eating! What???????
12 grams of sugar per 39g serving of Trix?! That’s insane. And most people probably have a much larger serving than 39g too (I found reducing to 45g of cereal hard to get used to - I used to have almost double that). Upon learning about American cereal and bread (ie sugar sandwiches) I have a new found respect for Americans like you who manage to stay in shape. I’m almost surprised that there are any slim Americans at all, lol.
You don't get type two Diabetis by eating sugar.you are at risk of getting it if you eat too much surgery foods or carbohydrates that makes you put weight on.but it does not always do it with some people.im a type two Diabetic but mine is hereditary from my Mother's side.all 5 of my Mother's children got it.i was two stone underweight when diagnosed.
@@fmcm7715 ANY bread is bad for you. Don't believe the crap about whole grains. No grain is actually good for you. It all turns to sugar as it digests.
As an American, one thing to realize is that many US folks don’t really eat these cereals and for every unhealthy sugary cereal there are a ton of people who eat healthy breakfast foods.
I'm nearly 77 years old and a Brit and still eat cereals, I have 3 that I eat regularly, Weetabix, which are plain unsweetened flaked wheat biscuits around 2" x 4" x perhaps 1/2" thick served with milk and very little sugar, secondly I may have oatmeal cooked with milk instead of water and usually add chopped fruit (Nectarines, bananas, or berry fruits) to sweeten it, although I may choose instead to have a bowl of Granola which is oats and seeds, uncooked and bound with a little honey, I tend to have the tropical fruit version with dried and chopped or sliced fruits, eaten with lots of plain yoghurt instead of milk. I try to have the very minimum of processed sugar if any on my cereals and rely on the fruit for sweetness -It's not so addictive.
The difference between the US and UK food is that in the UK the companies have to prove that the food is safe before it can be marketed. In the US it's up to the authorities to prove that a food stuff is unsafe, and as you said Joel there's a certain tolerance for how bad it can be. But what you have to take into consideration is that money rules in the US. Feed people with unhealthy food and the hospitals make more money and therefore the government.
I’m Australian and we have the same regulations with artificial colours as the UK, sugar content etc. in Australia and Europe, artificial colours are banned.

Growing up in the U.K. in the 80’s and 90’s cereals were typically full of sugar and very sweet but as concerns grew regarding obesity companies had to tone down the amount of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Especially now with the sugar tax in the U.K.
People complain about the "Nanny State" here in the UK. But sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves. Sugary cereals and snacks for young children should be outright banned. If a child has never had sugar packed foods, they won't develop a want for it.
I grew up in the 60's 70's, only ever had cereal without sugar...weetabix, shredded wheat, corn flakes, rice crispies etc. Ate them mainly in the morning but sometimes for supper. I still eat cereal without sugar. Watching kids eat such sugary things makes me uneasy, no need to make them that way
When i was growing up in the 80s very few Cereals were sweetened at all, the only.ones i can think of are sugar puffs and frosties and they were mildly sweetened towards American Cereals.
Well I'm English and I didn't even know we had fruit loops in the first place. As a child we had winter breakfasts and summer breakfasts. Mom would cook a huge pot or porridge with honey added. Then a boiled egg with soldiers. In the summer we would get cornflakes or rice krispies or fresh fruit and a slice of butter and toast. I was 21 before I had my first ever MacDonalds and never touched them since. Burger King is supreme in our house.
We had a cereal here in Australia 🇦🇺 in the 70s early 80s that were called Kelloggs strawberry pops. with a pink elephant on the box. They took it off the market, they turned the milk bright pink..
The best food is natural. All you need is oatmeal and milk. Of course, without sugar. My son wouldn't eat it. It's the first time I see such colorful petals. Greetings from Poland🙂🙋

7:18 - yeah, it is the same school every time. Josh & Ollie (hence, "JOLLY") are friends of the Headmaster, Mr Smith. Josh has another channel, Korean Englishman, where he gets these high schoolers to try Korean food. The two boys at the end of the clip (in the Express VPN sponsor ad) - Max and Armand, went to Korea with Josh, twice.
Plain oats is the way to go - throw in a chopped apple, a handful of raisons, sprinkle with flax or put some berries and bananas in and that's all ya need - filling, tasty, slow release carbs, lots of fibre. Always with plant based milks.
@@FionaIngrid You do you. Just look into oats not only not being intended for humans (horse food) and what they spray them with, but plants do not produce milk. Therefore, plant based milk is not a real food item.
@@rebeccaa2433 If you’re worried about oats that are sprayed with artificial chemicals then eat organic oats - they’re a powerhouse of nutrition. So far as milk goes, I’ll quote Stephen Fry “Peanut butter isn’t butter, quince cheese isn’t cheese, cream of coconut isn’t cream .. try as the dairy farmers might, history and the nature of language development will decide”. As for myself, I’ve drank soya milk for 30 years now and my vegan daughter, now 26, went straight from the breast to soya milk. We love it - and it’s incredibly healthy. What we would never do is drink the lactation secretion of a large bovine mammal - firstly out of love and respect for the cows who produce milk for their young (as I did for mine) but also because it isn’t healthy (its the most common allergen). Of course, as a species, over the course of history, in times of need and desperation ’some’ groups of humans have developed a tolerance to cows milk (the enzyme to break down lactose) but still today 95% of Asians, 70% of black people, 50% of hispanic people and 70% of Native Americans are profoundly lactose intolerant. In caucasians that figure is 33%. Also, according to many doctors such as Pam Popper, women in particular suffer in westernise countries from having high oestrogen levels (and the associated health concerns) because of drinking cows milk. At any rate, whatever you prefer to call plant based milks, they are arguably much much much healthier than drinking the milk of another species - and my family including my 81 year old vegan parents have thrived on them. nutritionfacts.org is a non-bias scientific website where you can find data about all the milks if you’re interested. On that website it also talks about the latest evidence based research - which includes a population study of 100,000 men and women who drank milk. Researchers found significantly higher rates of bone and hip fractures and other serious health issues. Also Dr T. Colin Campbell (who wrote the China Study - the most comprehensive study of nutrition to date) and who went into medicine to prove the benefits of dairy (having grown up on a dairy farm) eventually ended up finding that casein (the main protein in cows milk) was the most relevant chemical carcinogen ever identified (in research he conducted in laboratories for over a quarter of a century). If you want to know more about that you can read the research or maybe watch Forks Over Knives.

The Korean Englishman also takes the boys and teacher to Korea where they have fun and eat purely Korean food, try their schools, sports etc, he also introduces Korean food to rappers, movie stars etc, great channel. They with their wives were invited to a banquet at the palace and the King talked privately with them - the banquet was for dignitaries from Korea because they speak Korean.
When my cousin moved to America, he was shocked when his wife got a box of cereal from the cupboard and started eating them dry from the box, like they were a packet of sweets 😂😂 That's a thing there. Apparently 🙄
For finnish taste buds british bread tastes sweet. For some reason swedes love sweet bread too. As a finnish person I always felt like my teeth will rot when eating swedish bread both white and dark.
My favourite cereals at the moment are the various 'Fruit and Fibre' bran wheat flakes from various retailers, typically with raisins, hazelnuts, bits of dried banana and coconut. You don't need extra sugar, the raisons are naturally sweet, the wheat flakes have a bit of added sugar, as do the banana flakes. The Aldi one I have by me lists the other ingredients as salt, malt extract, added iron, vitamin E, niacin, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B9 and B12, vitamin D, thiamin, Folic acid and riboflavin. No colourings as far as I can see. So they seem pretty good nutritionally and good for your general health. I quite like the taste and texture. The roughage is good for your digestive system too.

I've been to the US, and I couldn't eat the toast or bacon because it was so sugary tasting, like someone had rolled it in a jar of jam 🤮. This was fun though. We have Fruit Loops here in Oz, I'm not sure of the sugar content, but I'm sure it wouldn't be good.
Ugh, sweet cereal. Give me some good jumbo oats with oat milk served cold (must be done the night before). Sweetened with either a bit of maple syrup or locally produced honey. Don't mind Bran Flakes or Cornflakes. I only eat toast if it has marmite, honey, or seriously strong cheese spread on it.
I never ate serials in my life. As a child I had sometimes grains (plain, without sugar) in my yogurt, without sugar. I gave that to my child as well. These colored serials are just scary.
There’s a couple of points that come to me, and the first is the erudition of these lads, when I was there age I was definitely a trog! The standard of education and teaching has obviously improved since the 1960’s. Secondly if these cereals are typical in the US no wonder the schools there concentrate more on sports than academic studies, you just have to get rid of all that excess energy from the sugar, I’m also really worried about the health of these US kids, especially from the carcinogens in the cereals. I have a hatred of very sweet [UK] things, I won’t bother finding out about US products. Me I like things like Oatabix virtually no sugar.
Lol, I grew in NYC with Iriswh immigrant parents,. We NEVER had cereal. Oatmeal with milk (no sugar) and tea or bacon and eggs for breakfast. Except for the period when I would east only Tuna sandwiches. But even then on Friday I would eat fish and chips at thee local chippies. Fresh fish. Then later I could only eatr a hamburger at a bar or restaurant, not the fast food places. The irish vvard served deligious steak fries,
Can we just agree that serial isn’t made for breakfast or for young kids.. it’s made for adults to destroy when they have the munchies. For breakfast you eat oats with unrefined milled sugar and lots of butter 😋
We had "Fruit Loops" and " Cocoa Pops" and they were so sweet you could eat them out of the box. We mostly eat "weetbix" but you need to add a moderate amuont of sugar and milk. It's wheat and dietry fibre . England has Introduced a high sugar tax to avoid Type 2 diabetes. That would also apply to beer and many other products. How would they tax fructose, the sugar in fruit?
Sugar does not cause diabetes. It may lead to obesity which often leads to diabetes but it is excessive amounts of saturated fat that leads to insulin resistance and eventually diabetes.
Hello Joel. I could never eat breakfast. Give me a full English breakfast at lunch. I did like Nabisco Shreddies for supper, but they seem different since Nestle took them over, so I prefer the much cheaper supermarket copies. I eat them only rarely. These days I even drink coffee black, most times.
Thats the thing question do you have allergies? A friend in the food industry has said they have gone up 40% in the past 30 years. Cancer sued to be one in 26 its now 1 in two people
the packaging is fun. I'd like to have the packets in a travel version like for collecting would be cool. or like miniatures in Fimo or plastic collectibles
On the whole we tend to use natural colouring derived from fruits and vegetables (e.g. Beetroot gives a vibrant magenta colour), especially, rather than chemical colourings and most cereals have little of no sugar so that each individual can add it to their own taste and not be physically programmed to need sweet foods which seems to be the case in the US as sugar is very addictive. I eat an unsweetened wholemeal wheat cereal and only put a tiny amount of sugar on it, perhaps a quarter of a teaspoonful sprinkled over the both large biscuits of Weetabix.
Every Christmas, we stock lots of Reeses chocolate, stocking fillers, etc. Every Christmas, its the last thing to go, and onky after we've reduced it all :D

I have a local made granola. Has no sugar or artifiacl sweetener - just honey. Then i have a banana on it and natural yoghurt. It keeps me going til lunch and i assume a lot healthier than that stuff which doesn’t keep me going til lunch anyhow.
Growing up in the 70's here in the UK, I think our cereals were probably much closer to what the US still sells today. Lot's more sugar and artificial flavourings than would be allowed here today.
Haha I know it was around but there were 5 of us so my parents used to go to the cash and carry and but a bulk box of cornflakes I've never eaten them since I left home
🍶🥣 No disrespect but surely USA has other cereals than these sweet ones, what are their versions of healthier cereals? Would be fun to see their reactions to those ones too. ☺️

We had a cereal here in Australia 🇦🇺 in the 70s early 80s that were called Kelloggs strawberry pops. with a pink elephant on the box. They took it off the market, they turned the milk bright pink..
If u put a white t shirt in it, it will be colorfully lol
Like drinking a period. 🤮
Came I 1987 thankfully missed that one
It doesn't take a scientist to work out what we feed children and the obesity rate.
The best food is natural. All you need is oatmeal and milk. Of course, without sugar. My son wouldn't eat it. It's the first time I see such colorful petals. Greetings from Poland🙂🙋
British girl here love your content dearly! It's really interesting to see both sides, I've been following for a couple of months now, and you're really respectful , so thank you, and keep up the good content dude!
7:18 - yeah, it is the same school every time. Josh & Ollie (hence, "JOLLY") are friends of the Headmaster, Mr Smith.
Josh has another channel, Korean Englishman, where he gets these high schoolers to try Korean food. The two boys at the end of the clip (in the Express VPN sponsor ad) - Max and Armand, went to Korea with Josh, twice.
Plain oats is the way to go - throw in a chopped apple, a handful of raisons, sprinkle with flax or put some berries and bananas in and that's all ya need - filling, tasty, slow release carbs, lots of fibre. Always with plant based milks.
Oats are not healthy at all like you think. Neither are plant based milks.
@@rebeccaa2433 Sure they are .. and have drank soya milk for 30 years now - yummy
@@FionaIngrid You do you. Just look into oats not only not being intended for humans (horse food) and what they spray them with, but plants do not produce milk. Therefore, plant based milk is not a real food item.
@@rebeccaa2433 If you’re worried about oats that are sprayed with artificial chemicals then eat organic oats - they’re a powerhouse of nutrition. So far as milk goes, I’ll quote Stephen Fry “Peanut butter isn’t butter, quince cheese isn’t cheese, cream of coconut isn’t cream .. try as the dairy farmers might, history and the nature of language development will decide”.
As for myself, I’ve drank soya milk for 30 years now and my vegan daughter, now 26, went straight from the breast to soya milk. We love it - and it’s incredibly healthy. What we would never do is drink the lactation secretion of a large bovine mammal - firstly out of love and respect for the cows who produce milk for their young (as I did for mine) but also because it isn’t healthy (its the most common allergen).
Of course, as a species, over the course of history, in times of need and desperation ’some’ groups of humans have developed a tolerance to cows milk (the enzyme to break down lactose) but still today 95% of Asians, 70% of black people, 50% of hispanic people and 70% of Native Americans are profoundly lactose intolerant. In caucasians that figure is 33%.
Also, according to many doctors such as Pam Popper, women in particular suffer in westernise countries from having high oestrogen levels (and the associated health concerns) because of drinking cows milk.
At any rate, whatever you prefer to call plant based milks, they are arguably much much much healthier than drinking the milk of another species - and my family including my 81 year old vegan parents have thrived on them.
nutritionfacts.org is a non-bias scientific website where you can find data about all the milks if you’re interested. On that website it also talks about the latest evidence based research - which includes a population study of 100,000 men and women who drank milk. Researchers found significantly higher rates of bone and hip fractures and other serious health issues.
Also Dr T. Colin Campbell (who wrote the China Study - the most comprehensive study of nutrition to date) and who went into medicine to prove the benefits of dairy (having grown up on a dairy farm) eventually ended up finding that casein (the main protein in cows milk) was the most relevant chemical carcinogen ever identified (in research he conducted in laboratories for over a quarter of a century).
If you want to know more about that you can read the research or maybe watch Forks Over Knives.

The Korean Englishman also takes the boys and teacher to Korea where they have fun and eat purely Korean food, try their schools, sports etc, he also introduces Korean food to rappers, movie stars etc, great channel. They with their wives were invited to a banquet at the palace and the King talked privately with them - the banquet was for dignitaries from Korea because they speak Korean.
we learn sarcasm from a very young age...
Nobody does sarcasm like us Brits 😂
@@diane9656Amen to that 🙏
It seems like all consumables in the US have sugar in them! Good for the pharmaceutical companies.
Good for hospitals!
I'm surprised they didn't include Fruity Pebbles. I was actually looking forward to the kid's reactions.
When my cousin moved to America, he was shocked when his wife got a box of cereal from the cupboard and started eating them dry from the box, like they were a packet of sweets 😂😂
That's a thing there. Apparently 🙄
Not only Uk cereals in most European countries sugar content is significantly lower in most products compared to the USA
I’ve seen this video. The Cinnamon one is available here and I love it. The headmaster is a legend
can you actauly buy anything healthy and edible in the states?
Even standard white bread, which I NEVER eat, in America tastes sweet!!🤢🇬🇧
For finnish taste buds british bread tastes sweet. For some reason swedes love sweet bread too. As a finnish person I always felt like my teeth will rot when eating swedish bread both white and dark.
My favourite cereals at the moment are the various 'Fruit and Fibre' bran wheat flakes from various retailers, typically with raisins, hazelnuts, bits of dried banana and coconut. You don't need extra sugar, the raisons are naturally sweet, the wheat flakes have a bit of added sugar, as do the banana flakes. The Aldi one I have by me lists the other ingredients as salt, malt extract, added iron, vitamin E, niacin, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B9 and B12, vitamin D, thiamin, Folic acid and riboflavin. No colourings as far as I can see. So they seem pretty good nutritionally and good for your general health. I quite like the taste and texture. The roughage is good for your digestive system too.
For roughage, just eat the cardboard box! ☺
The jingle was...apples hazelnuts bananas, raisins coconut sultanas.
Me too , keeps me full
In America them kids would Sue the TH-cam channel for giving them the food before telling them about the chemicals....
They should read the ingredients beforehand!
This what Americans call cereal?
Lucky Charms were a revelation to me when I tried them for the first time. It's one of my guilty pleasures when I come to the US
Gross
I love watching Russell Howard Playground Politics. He asks young UK school students questions and they're so funny
Wow they can't rule out that affects your DNA and chromosomes, so: warning may cause mutation.
Does your brother Ben have 3 or 4 bowls of American cereal before he comes on your channel? 😆
Lol. Probably haha
@@adrianhempfing2042 Where has Arturo gone? And Ben hasn't been on since last year. I am feeling sad. 😢
@MrSimonHubbard I reckon he keeps Arturo and Stefan in the wardrobe / toilet under the staircase .
Ben , he probably just let's him keep playing basketball / out of his hair .
It's almost Easter. Maybe he'll visit home/Ben then
@@adrianhempfing2042Haha! Probably true about Ben. 🙃 But I miss him because he is such a character and he pushes Joel out of his comfort zone like only little brothers can! 😂 I don't think Stefan's heart was in it. He is a nice guy, but said almost nothing. Whereas as Arturo has a great personality, would banter with Joel and ask questions for us to answer in the comments. Maybe he is a TH-camr in the making? I hope he comes back. 😊
I've been to the US, and I couldn't eat the toast or bacon because it was so sugary tasting, like someone had rolled it in a jar of jam 🤮. This was fun though. We have Fruit Loops here in Oz, I'm not sure of the sugar content, but I'm sure it wouldn't be good.
This video finished and the advert that comes up after you talking about how US food isn't always great.... Five Guys. Irony in motion.
I laughed when Joel said about fruit loops the difference between US and America 😊😂
Ugh, sweet cereal. Give me some good jumbo oats with oat milk served cold (must be done the night before). Sweetened with either a bit of maple syrup or locally produced honey. Don't mind Bran Flakes or Cornflakes. I only eat toast if it has marmite, honey, or seriously strong cheese spread on it.
I never ate serials in my life. As a child I had sometimes grains (plain, without sugar) in my yogurt, without sugar. I gave that to my child as well. These colored serials are just scary.
There’s a couple of points that come to me, and the first is the erudition of these lads, when I was there age I was definitely a trog! The standard of education and teaching has obviously improved since the 1960’s. Secondly if these cereals are typical in the US no wonder the schools there concentrate more on sports than academic studies, you just have to get rid of all that excess energy from the sugar, I’m also really worried about the health of these US kids, especially from the carcinogens in the cereals. I have a hatred of very sweet [UK] things, I won’t bother finding out about US products. Me I like things like Oatabix virtually no sugar.
10:19 I was young and I don’t think I’d appreciate Artificially flavoured stuff except for bubble gum.
Lol, I grew in NYC with Iriswh immigrant parents,. We NEVER had cereal. Oatmeal with milk (no sugar) and tea or bacon and eggs for breakfast. Except for the period when I would east only Tuna sandwiches. But even then on Friday I would eat fish and chips at thee local chippies. Fresh fish. Then later I could only eatr a hamburger at a bar or restaurant, not the fast food places. The irish vvard served deligious steak fries,
Can we just agree that serial isn’t made for breakfast or for young kids.. it’s made for adults to destroy when they have the munchies. For breakfast you eat oats with unrefined milled sugar and lots of butter 😋
You HAVE to see their reaction to Trader Joe’s. Hilarious.
We had "Fruit Loops" and " Cocoa Pops" and they were so sweet you could eat them out of the box. We mostly eat "weetbix" but you need to add a moderate amuont of sugar and milk. It's wheat and dietry fibre . England has Introduced a high sugar tax to avoid Type 2 diabetes. That would also apply to beer and many other products. How would they tax fructose, the sugar in fruit?
After the video I had a look at my Weetabix packet and there are only 1.6g of sugar in two (normal amount for breakfast) Weetabix biscuits.
Sugar does not cause diabetes. It may lead to obesity which often leads to diabetes but it is excessive amounts of saturated fat that leads to insulin resistance and eventually diabetes.
Hello Joel. I could never eat breakfast. Give me a full English breakfast at lunch.
I did like Nabisco Shreddies for supper, but they seem different since Nestle took them over, so I prefer the much cheaper supermarket copies. I eat them only rarely. These days I even drink coffee black, most times.
Same, I could never breakfast. I would occasionally have a bowl of cereal in the evening if I got the munchies.
Thats the thing question do you have allergies? A friend in the food industry has said they have gone up 40% in the past 30 years. Cancer sued to be one in 26 its now 1 in two people
This is from Jolly
Dessert for breakfast sounds like fun, but it isn't after a while.
the packaging is fun. I'd like to have the packets in a travel version like for collecting would be cool. or like miniatures in Fimo or plastic collectibles
Nice video, Joel!!
Bran Flakes with raisins, a banana, strawberries and blueberries in there with a double espresso in a cold all milk coffee does me nicely.
Froot Loops are my guilty pleasure whenever I travel.
I'd really like you to react to Little Britain, Fawlty Towers and Hello Hello.
On the whole we tend to use natural colouring derived from fruits and vegetables (e.g. Beetroot gives a vibrant magenta colour), especially, rather than chemical colourings and most cereals have little of no sugar so that each individual can add it to their own taste and not be physically programmed to need sweet foods which seems to be the case in the US as sugar is very addictive. I eat an unsweetened wholemeal wheat cereal and only put a tiny amount of sugar on it, perhaps a quarter of a teaspoonful sprinkled over the both large biscuits of Weetabix.
Every Christmas, we stock lots of Reeses chocolate, stocking fillers, etc. Every Christmas, its the last thing to go, and onky after we've reduced it all :D
4:51 A person of great taste.
Me and my brother when we were younger used to just eat fruit loops plain, I'm from Australia
Damn my phone just posteď by its self ,because it almost died , plug my charger in it posted it here i hadnt even finished talking lol , any way , yeah love the channel 💖💗
They have a full English! Now that is nice!
13:52 Ollie and Joel are twinning
I have a local made granola. Has no sugar or artifiacl sweetener - just honey. Then i have a banana on it and natural yoghurt. It keeps me going til lunch and i assume a lot healthier than that stuff which doesn’t keep me going til lunch anyhow.
Weird I have a very similar breakfast too 😊
When the British tell you some food is "disgusting" they're probably onto something ;)
Boiled eggs..best breakfast!!!
I had cinnamon cereal from Lidl and my mouth blistered.
I think that UK cereals are much sweeter than they used to be when I ate them before school. I am 72 years old now.
I start my day with protein, no carbs or starch
Sugar is one of the most addictive drugs you can take.
Growing up in the 70's here in the UK, I think our cereals were probably much closer to what the US still sells today. Lot's more sugar and artificial flavourings than would be allowed here today.
Haha I know it was around but there were 5 of us so my parents used to go to the cash and carry and but a bulk box of cornflakes I've never eaten them since I left home
I miss the mini toys we had in cereal in the 70s.
🍶🥣 No disrespect but surely USA has other cereals than these sweet ones, what are their versions of healthier cereals? Would be fun to see their reactions to those ones too. ☺️
I’m surprised at the reaction to Reese’s Puffs. I used to be able to buy them in an American section in Tesco and could eat a whole box in around a day.
Those chaps who run the account met the King recently. They posted video.
that headteacher must be blagging a living.
6:40 It's not "slightly bad.'" It's terrible! We have a massive problem with Type 2 diabetes in the US. The solution? MOAR SUGAR!!!
...and we do pooridge with lilly fruits in summer
