US vs UK Cinnabon | Food Wars | Insider Food
As someone who does food delivery, I’m not shocked the drinks spilled when there were that many of them. Most drivers aren’t equipped to transport that many drinks.
Fr dude woulda had to take an oil tanker to carry all those drinks
Thank you for that insight Kataifi
I've never actually been to a Cinnabon. Actually, I never knew it operated in the UK - thanks for teaching me something Harry.
I'm in the US and never seen a Cinnabon in person.
I've never heard of them, just looked on the map and the nearest one to me is 12 miles away.
They only have 15 locations in the UK mostly at petrol stations so it's not that much of a surprise.
They have it in the asda I shop in it’s acc so good
I know there is one in Manchester 🐝
For portion sizes, I've worked at Cinnabon at a Cedar Point in the US and we did have the 2-pack
Also, can confirm, the Center of the Roll is just a cut up Cinnabon with extra frosting and caramel drizzle.
At Cedar Point we made the rolls fresh, then after awhile they were put in the warmer to cool down to be put in the 2 & 4 pack boxes to go and be warmed back up later, then finally, any of the to-go boxes that didn't sell that day were then cut up the next day and made into the center of the Roll.
Like how Wendy's uses left over beef, and turns it into chili? LOL
@@cyclopsvision6370 I mean, waste not want not. It's better put to good use then to just dump it.
Did not know we had cinnabon in UK
Probably only in London
@@RizPlaysYTgaming nope I live up north and we have them the Asda I sometimes shop has them
@@andrewmorley3497 there’s one in derby and Corby
Neither did I
@@RizPlaysYTgaming I live in London never seen them
Joe giving the health scares while periodically eating is hilarious
Fun Fact: Some Cinnabon locations warm up sheets of just cinnamon and brown sugar so the smell is always there when you walk by.
I think that's standard business practice.
No one cares
@@TravNationyou did enough to comment
@@seek7697 And so
@@TravNation I’m right bro
6:16 I love how you can see the exact moment when joe just blanked out, forgot he was recording, and was just enjoying the food.
From a former Schlotzsky's/Cinnabon employee: The center of the roll is day old buns chopped up and covered in more icing. We also pack our classic rolls in the same sizes as in the UK.
I don't think anyone really minds.
Can vouch as a former employee from India.
I can't be the only Brit, who has never seen a Cinnabon in the UK. Apart from that one The Simpsons episode
That's what I though.
They are in some ASDA’s in London. :)
Whenever this happens you just know there are a handful of shops in London, and London only.
Yep, I've had one in Egypt of all places but not the UK.
I have noticed they seem to be in eg services I've seen one in Hutton Leeds and Wakefield
Hong Kong has freshly baked Cinnabons that any quantity can be purchased as long as stock is sufficient. For boxed Cinnabons (cooled down), 4pcs & 6pcs. Original/ Chocolate/ Caramel Peacan are available regularly with special flavours (Black sesame, honey raspberry, caramel macchiato, peanut butter choco, caramel apple)
I'm keeping that Pibb rant on loop! That was priceless!
Harry is a madman for not liking Biscoff Lotus 😂
Never knew we had them in the UK, now I really want one.
Yh i've never seen one, and I live in London. Google'd it, they have 21 stores mostly in ASDAs, only 1 in london and it's Heatrow airport.
@@manicagencythere is one in Leyton ASDA
I order mine online
I didn't know we have Popeye's, which is now top of my bucket list of food places.
Joe I love the Mr. Pibb rant! I grew up often alternating between Pibb and Pepper, but when they introduced Pibb Xtra I largely stopped drinking it unless I had no option for Dr P. Can we get a petition started for this? 😂
I’ve never had Mr. Pibb or Pibb Extra.
Keep these VS videos coming 😊we love it
🎵THEY FORGOT THEM 🎵🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying
Talking about the smell, in Lakeside (a shopping centre in the UK) back in the 90's, we had a Cinnabon at one end, you could smell it from about half way through the centre and they got loads of customers because of that.
After a while they opened a large coffee shop opposite (I think costa, they weren't really a thing in the UK before this) and then all you could smell was coffee, that killed Cinnabon's business and they closed shortly after, they have spent years and years closing stores then opening others trying to get a foot hold over here, but so far not been massively successful, I hope they are this time and we get stores all over so I don't have to either travel for hours or mail order.
If memory serves for years the only store in the UK was on a US military base.
In America, we order the catering tray to start our day and drink the frosting tub for Happy Hour.
Coming from growing up with Swedish cinnamon buns, I'm equal parts horrified and absolutely drooling from wanting to try these
Just be grateful for your cinnamon buns lol.
Having had Swedish cinnamon rolls and buns, don’t be sad. This is exactly what you’d expect an American version to be about. Diabetes.
There are like 2500 calories in a regular size one, it's enough calories for almost 2 days
@@episodesglow Not for a grown person
Go try only one.
Yes. I LOVE Food Wars. Hope to see more Food Tours as well.
Of all my memories of the mall the smell of Abercrombie and Fitch and Cinnabon are the key ones I can still recall clearly
Love these videos ❤
Can confirm as a previous Cinnabon employee - Center of the rolls have the outer layer removed (then used for samples), we cut up the “center” and add more frosting on top with a drizzle 🤤
Auntie Anne's is where i have all my nostalgia when at the mall. As soon as you enter the mall you can just smell it.
Never had cinnabon but I heard it's so good. The amazing flavors of sweetness and the bakery. I got to try it soon. Great video! Love you Harry❤ Keep it up Joe😅
oh yea you have no idea bro :) holy shiiiiiiit it's DA BOMB
Considering how much Joe seemed to enjoy the Carmel Pecan I was surprised by the "Who cares" on the pecan topping. Also Mr. Pibb didn't change to Pibb Extra to compete with Dr. Pepper. Mr. Pibb (originally called Peppo) was created originally to compete with Dr. Pepper. The name was changed when they added cinnamon to the originally recipe.
Such a passionate protest about Mr Pibb! Wish we had it here in the UK
I always imagine both these guys eating a bunch of food and then just nonstop throwing up. It's the stuff they don't show you
thanks for sharing 😊
I work less than a hundred yards from one. Worst time to be working is the opening shift because the entire area, including our entire store, smells of Cinnabon.
I just started at a restaurant called Chuck lagers and we have dr. Pip xtra on the soda fountain. Locations are in Chicago, New Jersey, Delaware and Florida with more to come. I’m here in Delaware
My local airport has a Cinnabon right across from TSA. So after you wait in line, smelling them for a bit, of course you’re going to buy one.
Man I love these! Cool concept
A 9 pack for catering seems pretty small tbh, I thought it be like 24 and 50 for corporate events and things
Used to be one in West Quay, Southampton about 20 years ago, not seen one since.
Growing up my mom would often make cinnamon buns for breakfast but I’ve never had this brand before.
For everyone that doesn't like biscoff, try it how i grow up with the cookies. We would dip them in coffee (to get them soft) and put them on bread. Maybe you like it that way. Some genius thought the paste was a good thing, but I think it's too sweet.
Fun fact: biscoff original name is speculaas.
I think it's also known as speculoos as I've seen a few products in the UK sold by other brands to Biscoff with the speculoos name (ice-cream makers and "healthy" snack brands, to be exact)
@@chlcrk I know, but that's the thing with Belgium. It depends where you are from. Some say speculoos and others speculaas. I still like it more with 2 aa 's. Fresh made from a bakery would be still better but I don't know if you will find outside Belgium
Dutch Speculaas is not the same as Biscoff, sorry.
@@claudiavanherp correction speculaas/biscoff is Belgian, not dutch. And it is the same thing. They changed the name for getting more fame outside Belgium/Europe
I'll see if a ok tx ex xxx ex xxx
Great video as always. could you do one on TIC TACS.
The lemonade confusion hit us in a Las Vegas casino when my husband asked the waitress for a gin and lemonade. She looked rather taken aback before telling him they didn’t have lemonade. He ended up just gotta G&T because Sprite just isn’t the same.
Wait, they’re a bar and don’t have lemon juice? Lemonade in the U.S. is basically just that, simple syrup or sugar, and water.
@@elphive42 nah but it has to be sparkling to be lemonade.
@@elphive42 British lemonade is lemon flavoured pop/soda. Like sprite but no lime.
Classic schweppes style lemonade is not readily available in the US. Try making a beer shandie (radler) using sprite...gross.
Most of the videos has the US guy sad and struggling...nice to see him smile a little and enjoy an item or two for once!
We're very familiar with Cinnabon, as there's a Cinnabon kiosk at the Asda we sometimes shop at
Harry "Lotus Biscuit's are too sweet" meanwhile Strawberry Lemonade "Refreshing". Lmao classic Harry
Now I know why I've never had cinnabon. The prices in the us crazy. Also for me the mall always smells like auntie Anne's. Love that place
I'm so sad the mall I work in doesn't have a cinnabon, we have an auntie annes though so that makes up for it just a little bit
I don't go to Cinnabon often, but I really enjoy it when I do
We have Cinnabon nearby me. I don't think I've ever physically seen a location though. They're not in any local malls, only freestanding.
Went to cinnabon impulsively in Liverpool with my gf, we both smelt it on the way past and couldnt resist. Quite possibly my all time favourite desert to date. Tops literally everything in my books.
you guys need to get up to Derby so you can do Little Caesars US vs UK
It will always be Mr Pibb to me. My daughter wanted a Pibb Xtra and I referred to it as Mr Pibb and she gave me a confused look 😅
honestly i have never tried Mr Pibb but i hear it's great tbh i first thought it was a fictional soda invented by American Dad that's not the first time i thought something was made up by American dad or Family guy then realized it was real
hell when David Bowie died i only recognized him because the news played that song video he did with Mick Jagger Dancing in the street and i was like OMG THAT'S THE GUY FROM THE FAMILY GUY CLIP
Haha smelling the cinnabon first is something I hundred percent agree XD
I miss the chocobuns here in Canada. They had them for a very limited time and then got rid of them.
I miss their Cinnasticks. Don't know if they may still have them, I haven't seen or been to a Cinnabon in over 15 years, haha. But damn do I miss them.
I always took Harry as a calm guy, but then I went over to the uk myself I figured out that they’re really all just that mellow as well. Struck me crazy
Do not go to Cardiff on a night out then. Or to any football match! Us Brits are only mellow most of the time.
Cinnabon #1 opened december of 1985 at Sea-Tac Mall in Federal Way, WA. I was 16 and being the mall rat that I was, ate there the first day.
A perfect opening for Keith eats everything.
Glad to see the energetic dude again
now i am craving at this holy hour for some cinnabon..
“Their blanks” had me dead 💀
Love the rant
I'm not convinced I've ever actually eaten Cinnabon before but it definitely has always looked good
My local Cinnabon in Valley Stream NY has pretzels too, including pepperoni pizza bites.
I'm always surprised to hear a lot of these places operate in the uk. Must be mainly in London.
None at all in central London, for a change!
we used to have a cinnabon here but they shut down a couple years back... they were constantly getting flagged IIRC with health code violations
“Cream cheese ambient” 😂
We had Cinnabon in Cambridge for ages and I never went in there (I was very young). Once I discovered my love for cinnamon buns, I was heartbroken it had gone
Harry should really try Biscoff ice cream sometime, it’s the best.
I'm with you, Harry, lotus Biscoff tastes like cheap gingerbread cookies you get in the supermarket.
The worst things about these episodes are the fact that we are getting diabetes from watching without ever getting to taste
buddy buddy don't think about it don't read the ingredients just eat one every now and then
Mr Pibb was around before and in 2000, it was changed to Pibb Xtra in 2001. I looked it up.
I've had this :) not many places to get them I mine from asda
"A side of pecans, who cares." 😂
I have know US Cinnabon since I was about 13, I'm 51 now and live in the UK. When I fly home, it's on my list of things to do, to get a Cinnabon. Now in the UK, for years there was one Cinnabon in London, so I would frequent that, then it closed. Now it's 2023 and the EG Group has bought into the franchise and is opening up Cinnabon's in our UK Asda grocery stores. I have visited three times and I can say I will not be back. NEVER have I ever had a Cinnabon that wasn't gooey. They did not spread the cinnamon/sugar/butter mixture when they rolled out the dough. The result equals a very DRY basic cinnamon roll. They dabbed a little bit of gritty, greasy sugar frosting on the top. The was not one ounce of gooeyness in my six pack. I know they are supposed to use a cream cheese frosting with a hint of lemon, nope it's standard greasy sugar frosting. Lucky for the English, they don't know any better so whether the group who bought into the franchise is cutting corners by altering the recipe or well to put it simply, the English are conservative with portions and believe in moderation (when it comes to food), the Cinnabon's I've been served on three different occasions have left me so disappointed that I woke up the next morning feeling so robbed because in almost 40 years, I've never had dry Cinnabon's! Corporate Cinnabon.....our UK franchise needs an intervention immediately! Don't get me started on their Taco Bells lol! But I do have to add that my English hair dresser loves Cinnabon, so I don't dare tell her that if she had an American version to compare our local one to, she wouldn't love our Milton Keynes one.
They should do a US vs México edition of food.
Their coffee is so delicious with and without creamer, iced and hot brew. I buy the coffee at Walmart in k cups and brew it at home myself, plus Taco Bell has it too on their menu.
Cinnabon is my most favorite place ever. Cinnamon Buns are top tier delicious, would buy instead of a any other dessert.
lol couple of years back my Mother literally brough a Box of them home from NYC to Ireland they were all easten LOL
That seems mental that they're so much cheaper in the UK. Really wonder what that's about (also paying £5 for a single roll?!)
Dollars dont go as far as a pound does in the u.k
At my local store here in the US, they're 5 US dollars. Still quite an increase though.
missed this duo
Do a US vs Canada food wars!!
Better call saul!
Gene Takavic?
Yaaay!! New food wars episode!! Incredibly awesome ❤❤❤❤❤😸
Center of the roll is the GOAT and the only reason I clicked on this video
I agree on the Cookie Bonbites. You'd think a cookie mixed with a cinnamon roll would taste good but it's just...average.
If they used something like a snickerdoodle maybe it would taste good.
sometimes Frankenstein creations don't go well lol
Cinnabon Bites are always a delight.
good video
I'm watching this video without having a Cinnabon and I had not heard about it before
Never seen Cinnabon in the UK.
Looks delicious bring this here to NZ
I like how this show makes me go, never knew we had one. Probably in London.
None in Central London at all, for a change!
@@heidilou1985 wow that's unusual because usually when something American comes to the UK it gets Flung at London Wall to see if it sticks
can confirm. cant eat 2 full cinnabons. 1 and a half was my limit. had to leave the other half until hours later to finish
Right when I was craving it
No Cinnabon in our mall. I remember being out of town and remembering how expensive they were. Not surprised they're still expensive.
Watching this while I make cinnamon rolls for iftar 1:00
Harry what's wrong with you? I always have Lotus biscuits with tea when I get chance to, they're really nice!
超愛肉桂捲！！
yummy 😋
6:22 the food court pic is literally dolphin mall in miami 🤣
Canada has the cinnamon roll chill (drink) also and it's soooo damn good. Best sweet drink I ever had and they also put small chunks of cinnamon rolls in there.
This series should be renamed "Brands British People Never Knew Existed In The UK". Catchy!
My Uncle Paul, who was not a healthy eater by any stretch of the imagination, once ate an entire 6 pack of Cinnabons in one sitting. How he did NOT have diabetes is beyond me.
Because you don’t get diabetes from eating sugar directly, man!
I love Cinnabon but I normally just get the classic so it's nice seeing how many more things they have!
PS - Since I'm in the UK, I normally get it from the mini stores in gas stations.
No idea UK has Cinnabon, thanks Food Wars for the knowledge!!!
I always heard about Cinnabon. But I never knew what it actually is.
