Good morning from Bobby's! Thank you very much for reviewing our snacks and most importantly for enjoying them so much! As you have asked and a few people are wondering who we are, here's a quick Bobby's history..... 'In 1972 Michael Hancock and Bob Isaac started selling cakes and sweets at local markets and delivering to local stores in and around Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. Over 10 years later, we started supplying our snacks, sweets and cakes to the whole of the UK! Now here we are, tastier than ever!' Hope that helps and thanks again! Kind regards, Bobby's
I accidentally came across your channel..... I normally wouldn’t have any interest in your subjects ...... but I must confess I’m completely hooked ..... your doing a great job and making me smile 😊 that has to be a good thing.
Awesome welcome to the junk food revolution, BARR is a Scottish company famous for making IRN BRU drink. Suggest Tunnocks Caramel Logs and Tea Cakes for future treat possibilities. Dont forget the classic lion bar and crunchie awesome video as i think many people watching it had the same kinda day you did .
only discovered your channel a day or 2 ago and you do seem so natural in your style of video. Also loved the surprise in how much you seem to like some of the new foods youve tried in the couple of those vids of yours i've watched you should defo make more of these vids
When it comes to snacks that hurt you, I'd put "Real Crisps" Jalapeno or Sweet Chilli way up there. They should come with a health warning; they'll literally make your mouth bleed.
I love your videos. You approach the weird stuff we do in this country with a great open mind, and let's face it, we can be pretty quirky. We need people like you!! x
Scampi Fries, Nik Naks and KP Skips-prawn cocktail flavour snacks! In Scotland they'll deep-fry you a Double Decker to ward-off the cold! Best to walk home to burn it off!
In 'Comfort and Joy' Bill Patterson got two halves of a warring Chip Van/Ice Cream Van family to get together by deep-frying ice cream. Oh, spoiler alert...
Recommendations for stuff to try... Picnic bar, lion bar, topic, caramac, galaxy caramel. Nice and spicy nik naks, beef monster munch, salt and vinegar chip sticks. Tizer, Vimto. Oh and marmite crisps...
You should do more Vlogs around England, I'd love to see that. Take us outside more often :-) I'm living vicariously through you lol. One day I hope to live in The UK.
ajadrew believe it or not but double deckers used to be little bit bigger.... plus Turkish Delights are 1/4 to 1/2 the size compared to how big they were when I was a kid
Cadbury changed the recipe of Double Deckers, I'm sure - there seems like more rice and less tack than there used to be (and less chocolate) - they used to be heavenly.
MrFlazz99 I worked for Cadbury and I can confirm the recipe of Double Deckers has been changed several times over the years - mainly due to cheaper ingredient substitutions. It bears no resemblance to the original product.
Pickled onion "monster munch" are the best. Check 'em out. and if you are REALLY a salt and vinegar girl, there his a brand called Smith's "square" crisps. They will take your head off they are so strong! Double decker's, you should really eat the top layer first then nibble around the bottom chocolate, THEN eat the crispy bit. Yes I live in England and am obsessed with crisps and snacks! Nice video's btw. Just watched a few. Keep up the good work and remember you can never do too many crisp videos!
You are just delightful to watch and your ''One more just incase'' mentioned more than once, just shows how natural you are in front of the camera...looking forward to the next vid
I find it so fascinating!! Things that I take for granted as common knowledge are foreign to English people, just like common things to English are new to me! Lots to learn :)
She will hate it! I know because (almost) everything she dislikes i dislike too, Blackjacks, Liquorice etc. & I HATE D&B! lol. (D&B is the devil's WEE!!) :-D
Great vid as always. Was the corner shop just selling 39p items? Lol. Have you tried a Frys Turkish Delight yet? Have yet to find anyone from outside the UK who likes them.
As a child 55-60 years ago Turkish Delight was my absolute favourite, I tried a bar a year or so ago and whilst still OK, my tastes have changed. By the way, I hope your regular diet is healthier than the items you feature in this video ;) Your videos are amusing though.
I moved to the UK from Australia 2 months ago so this is actually interesting to me! I haven't tried any of these things yet aha! I need a Double Decker asap...
Best Canadian crisps: covered bridge dill pickle. Best British crisps: Yorkshire crisps Hendys relish flavour. It does annoy me that they don't sell multipacks in Canada (except giant boxes of the things) Those bobbys spirals looks like the rubbish that would have been 20p a few years ago.
No way, best Canadian crisps are Ruffles All-Dressed. I've been searching so long to find a similar British taste. Would also accept Miss Vickies Salt and Vinegar as a runner-up (or Lays Salt and Vinegar as an extra back-up)
You are just so adorable when talking too cam and you’re reactions are sooooo honest especially when you love something. I’ve only just discovered your channel 😝
When I was young, Smiths Crisps came with a "Blue bag" twist of salt, that's before the day's of "ready salted". You would open the pack of crisps which was in like a grease-proof paper bag and then rummage around for the little blue wrap of salt. It was like the blue touch paper on a firework - a square of paper with a pinch of salt in it and twisted closed. That was part of the fun when I was little.
David Parkinson yeah david parkinson... It is cheap? Bags of (crisps) chips are usually about 60 pence the cheap nasty junk is about 20 through to about 40p... 60p is the premium crisps price...
Try Kendal Mint Cake. It originated in Cumbria (The Lake District), and it's not really a cake, more of a solid block of sugar, which gives you lots of energy if you are a hardy hill walker or any pursuit where your energy is likely to flag. You can probably buy it online.
Excellent reviews, thanks for being so complimentary of most of the snacks. Black Jacks are an acquired taste and I've never been a fan of custards. Can't believe you made dinner after all that, I was full watching you sample the delights. Take care
Boosts are good, but they have those biscuity bits floating randomly in the caramel. They can catch you unawares and hurt my teeth if I bite down on them unexpectedly.
MeFreeBee Agreed. The Boost bar trumps them all. The peanut-butter KitKat comes in close seconds @Alanna, Cream soda is great too. I haven't ate/drank any of the above in loooong time though, so I hope they haven't changed the formula!
The original Coconut Boost was the best, so annoying that they don't make it any more :( You can still get Peanut Boost, escept they changed the name back to Star Bar, which it was called *before* they renamed it Peanut Boost! Aargh so confusing! But Star Bar is better than Biscuit Boost :P (and toasted coconut Boost woukd be better than both if it still existed!)
I believe the reason behind the small bags of crisps are for ease of transport post purchase. So you can easily add them to a packed lunch or to eat on the train or whatever. Whilst the traditional large bag is too big for a travel lunch and generally too much for a single sitting at home... Especially going by the amount of salt in them.
M DNY calories are calories ..? Usually shown in metric (what is this English system?) Ie in grams either by 100g (so your can get the percentage) and/or by weight on packet (in standard grams)
So happy that you stumbled upon the Double Decker. It's my favourite chocolate bar to get! I also like Snickers, Mars and Twix, but DD is definitely my fave.
Here are some more things you should try: Mcvities Mini Cheddars (cheese biscuits) Lion Bar (chocolate bar) Danelion and burdock (fizzy drink) Monster Munch (crisps) bourbon biscuits jaffa cakes you can get coffee crisp bars here btw.
hearing you say "not being funny" in such a relaxed way really warmed my cockles :) P.s frazzles are amazing!!!!! and the bubblegum is the best Barr drink
I love frazzles, but if you can find them (usually found in older pubs on a cardboard square) try bacon fries! They're something else, and scampi fries too, both are made by Smiths.
Spirals are delicious. Have you tried Burton's Fish & Chips? They are salt and vinegar in a little packet with a newspaper print. Oh Disco's are super strong too!
The Royal Mint has been minting coins since the year 886. The Bingley Arms, in Bardsey, Yorkshire, supposedly has been operating since the first half the 10th century and so claims to be both the oldest business and the oldest public house in England. Balson's butchery business in Bridport, Dorset, has been operating since 1515. That makes 1875 (7:50) seem like last week.
Great video. You're a natural. I love salt and vinegar too. You should seek out and try Walkers Pickled onion crisps. They seem to be a rare item but I get the feeling you will love them. If you can't find any I will happily send you some.
So, first off , Mcoys Crisps are o.k., but you really need to try some Brannigans. (roast beef and mustard are the best crisps ever) second, my grandparents on my fathers side lived in Birmignham right close to the Cadbury factory, and every time we'd go see them, they'd take us on the factory tour where we'd eat SO MUCH CHOCOLATE. So as a lifelong Cadbury fanboy, I'm so glad you found us!
Fantastic presentation.You really made me smile. I was certain you'd like the Double Decker. You missed a trick with the Black Jacks - which is to stick them over your front teeth and pretend you've got a couple missing - hours of fun.
salt & vinegar spirals are best tried with ice cream, twist the crisp into the ice cream then pull it out - just like taking a ice core sample. Then eat the whole thing - it's a great mix of flavours and textures.
Perhaps Bob Isaac, one of the founders of Bobby's Foods, who, along with his business partner Michael Hancock, began selling and delivering cakes and sweets to supermarkets in and around Bromsgrove, in Worcestershire, in 1972. Big company now, with eleven depots throughout the UK.
If you like the tang of salt and vinegar, then you'll love walkers prawn cocktail flavour crisps, the pink packets, and yes you Can get a multi bag with 6 little packs inside!
A few other things to try would be Fish and Chip snacks which come in salt and vinegar sold in most big chains again. And for flavour has to be Brannagans sold in Poundland, ham and pickle are the faves but ham and mustard are pretty strong.
Toffee Crisp, Lion Bar, Wispa are other British classic chocolates, Space Raider pickled onion crisps, also try Tango, and bottles of pop called Cream Soda, Vimto, Dandelion & Burdock, Cherryade, lots of classic British junk food and drink
If you like strong salt and vinegar crisps then you need to try Co-ops Sea salt and Chardonnay vinegar crisps, they are stronger than McCoys and are SO GOOD!
If you think saying "Crisps" is hard, Honey - try saying "Mixed Biscuits". Quickly. Ten times. Perfectly. It's an Elocution exercise that stage actors used to practise. Try it ! And then try it on your friends next time you're down the pub. Believe me, "Crisps" will seem a LOT easier afterwards ;-)
Reach Faith Limited - " find "crisps" the harder of the two." Interesting: are you from the UK - or somewhere else ? I don't think I've ever known anyone who had trouble with 'crisps' . "Twelfth" , yes - but never "crisps" ! Hey, ho :-)
You really need to try 'chipsticks' if you love salt and vinegar flavour crisps. They're a similar texture to frazzles (made by same company). I'm not a big fan of salt and vinegar, but I do love chipsticks. Worcester sauce french fries are awesome too.
My mum works for Barr (the company who made your Limeade) their 2 best drinks are Tizer and IRN BRU. Also try Dandelion and Burdock drink if you like Dr Pepper its a little similar. Food snacks: Try Space Raiders 20p a pack. Try salt and vinegar flavour Thingies, also come in other flavours and cost around same. Also cadbury Freddos 30p. Try chocolate covered Hobnobs. And try strawberry Fruitellas they are sweets. Our drinks all have so many sweeteners in now they were so much better in the late 90s/early 2000s. If you love crisps try any flavour of Golden Wonder and my favourite are any SEABROOK crisps but s&v, Prawn cocktail and cheese and onion are all good.
If a shop sells alcohol it is an 'offie'. That is the owner has a licence to sell alcohol for consumption Off The Premises. Hence Off Licence and 'Offie'. A typical pub or 'boozer' (as we old folks used to call them) has a licence for consumption On The Premises. Other than that, it's just a shop, as "I'm off to the shops, do you want anything?"
love your videos here, note: our crisps and choc bars used to be bigger, but we pay the same price or more, so we're all being ripped off, but its to do with "portion size" they think less crisps or smaller chocolate will help with the obesity crisis, and as others have commented, never mind the limeade, you need to try IRN BRU, it used to (might still?) out-sell Coca-Cola up here in Scotland
As a native brit I can confirm to you that the most popular british snacks (and not the mass produced and there for international ones that you appear to be highly trying) and there for the mainly locally produced and british ones) which are amongst the most famous and popular that you should film yourself trying are: Malteasers, Galaxy chocolate (most popular british chocolate brand as Cadburys is American), Jaffa cakes the English kitkat, and the most popular crisp brands, Walkers and Hoolahoops.
Good morning from Bobby's! Thank you very much for reviewing our snacks and most importantly for enjoying them so much! As you have asked and a few people are wondering who we are, here's a quick Bobby's history..... 'In 1972 Michael Hancock and Bob Isaac started selling cakes and sweets at local markets and delivering to local stores in and around Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. Over 10 years later, we started supplying our snacks, sweets and cakes to the whole of the UK! Now here we are, tastier than ever!' Hope that helps and thanks again! Kind regards, Bobby's
Thanks so much for watching, love the Spirals!!
No problem and thank you! Would you like to try some more of our snacks at all? We can promise they're just as tasty as the Spirals!
say yes alanna, onion rings my fave lol
I ate a big bag of your onion rings today...are you sure you dont sprinkle them with crack because they are uber addictive!
Bobbys onion rings are addictive soooo good.
They are for kids, but if you see Pom Bear crisps buy them they are amazing!
I do like your natural delivery to the camera, almost as if I'm sitting right there, and you're just telling me something. :)
creep! lol
Hands off she's mine ☺I know her name it's Me because she always says hello it's Me
Andrew The Highlander UK No she's mine how very dare you 😀
Andrew The Highlander UK I don't think we all know each other well enough for that kind of arrangement 😉👍
Guys. We can all read this lol
This is a video of you trying all of the really cheap stuff you'd get at the corner shop on the way back from school, love it haha.
Pickled Onion Monster Munch rules!
I accidentally came across your channel..... I normally wouldn’t have any interest in your subjects ...... but I must confess I’m completely hooked ..... your doing a great job and making me smile 😊 that has to be a good thing.
Awesome welcome to the junk food revolution, BARR is a Scottish company famous for making IRN BRU drink. Suggest Tunnocks Caramel Logs and Tea Cakes for future treat possibilities. Dont forget the classic lion bar and crunchie awesome video as i think many people watching it had the same kinda day you did .
Bazza UK nothing junk about Tunnocks caramel bars. Just supreme. Lions bars pretty good too
tunnocks are my favorite since i was 5
A *Lion* bar is just a *Toffee Crisp* except it's not as good as it includes a wafer. Same goes for all wafer based bars like *Tunnocks Caramel* bars.
Barr cream soda tho! Yep
I love how excited you are for all this stuff.
Great to see someone discover the utter joy of a Double Decker.
only discovered your channel a day or 2 ago and you do seem so natural in your style of video. Also loved the surprise in how much you seem to like some of the new foods youve tried in the couple of those vids of yours i've watched you should defo make more of these vids
So much food to eat, so little time!!
You should try Discos if you want strong salt and vinegar
So naturally presented, my dear! Clearly spoken, no stumbling or stuttering and a nice smile as well! You should be on TV! Well done!
And have you tried salt and vinegar chipsticks yet? They will turn your face inside out they're that strong!
Wonderful!
Mark Legg I have there disgusting
I love them ahha
The cheaper the better.
When it comes to snacks that hurt you, I'd put "Real Crisps" Jalapeno or Sweet Chilli way up there. They should come with a health warning; they'll literally make your mouth bleed.
I love your videos. You approach the weird stuff we do in this country with a great open mind, and let's face it, we can be pretty quirky. We need people like you!! x
You need to find Smiths Scampi Fries. And pork scratchings.
Lots of people have mentioned this Scampi fries!!
You'll often find them in your local pub. I suspect they're an acquired taste. :)
Scampi Fries, Nik Naks and KP Skips-prawn cocktail flavour snacks! In Scotland they'll deep-fry you a Double Decker to ward-off the cold! Best to walk home to burn it off!
JohnD640
We'll deep fry you anything lol. Don't know which madman decided to deep fry a pizza!
In 'Comfort and Joy' Bill Patterson got two halves of a warring Chip Van/Ice Cream Van family to get together by deep-frying ice cream. Oh, spoiler alert...
salt and vinegar McCoys and a double decker. you snack like a champ
If you see them, try Salt & Vinegar Chipsticks, they are nice too. Ooh, and quavers.
Ooh, I like Quavers!
Richard Dybowski hlow
Listen body
SaLman aLi - you are not making any sense Salman.
Richard Dybowski if you dont mind i can talk with you so please
Recommendations for stuff to try...
Picnic bar, lion bar, topic, caramac, galaxy caramel.
Nice and spicy nik naks, beef monster munch, salt and vinegar chip sticks.
Tizer, Vimto.
Oh and marmite crisps...
LiamE69 Topic and Pickled Onion Monster Munch mmmmm
LiamE69 marmite??? Hate it... Btw you either hate it or love it and it's pretty much true
Double deckers are the ultimate king of chocolate bars. Give salt and vinegar "Disco's" a try if you want a strong flavour 👍🏻
Oh yeah! I had a pack of S&V Discos the other day and I had a slight cut on my lip I was in AGONY! SOOO nice though!
Twirls, out of the fridge, amaaaazing!!
Kenny, in my fridge are 3 multi packs of double deckers, they are lame. You are welcome to them.
S&V Discos FTW!
Kenny Barnett:... oh yes!! Disco's!!! I'd quite forgotten about them! Good call!!! 😂
Double Deckers are an unsung hero of the confectionary world.
What a masterpiece!!
You should do more Vlogs around England, I'd love to see that. Take us outside more often :-) I'm living vicariously through you lol. One day I hope to live in The UK.
Mmmmmm, Double Deckers are up there with Wagonwheels!
ajadrew believe it or not but double deckers used to be little bit bigger.... plus Turkish Delights are 1/4 to 1/2 the size compared to how big they were when I was a kid
Yes, I know!
Cadbury changed the recipe of Double Deckers, I'm sure - there seems like more rice and less tack than there used to be (and less chocolate) - they used to be heavenly.
MrFlazz99 I worked for Cadbury and I can confirm the recipe of Double Deckers has been changed several times over the years - mainly due to cheaper ingredient substitutions. It bears no resemblance to the original product.
Andrew Austin they make wagonwheels at the end of my street. You can smell when they are making them if the wind is in the right direction!
If you like those crisps you should probably try salt and vinegar Discos.
Everyone's been saying Discos, never heard of them before!
Agree! Discos salt and vinegar are so intense! Bobbys are great too. For an unknown brand their flavour is great. Not just S&V but other flavours too.
Everybody knows them, but you don't see them around much anymore.
Yes yes Yes! Or...salt and vinegar Squares. They're my top favourite along with prawn cocktail walkers.
Good shout, I definitely think Discos are the most intense S&V flavour
More tastings please. They are fun to watch and I so enjoy the delivery of your opinions.
You need to try 'wotsits crisps' you would love them, you can get them at most uk sweet shops and supermarkets and yes, if from the UK
Wotsits are OK!
Wotsits are nasty. Don't bother.
Daniel Spaniel yeahhh I love them
I see your wotsits and raise you skips
I see your Skips and raise you Monster Munch Pickled Onion Flavour
I think most people in the UK would just call it ‘the shop’, as in “I’m going to the shop, do you want a can of Tizer?”
Pickled onion "monster munch" are the best. Check 'em out. and if you are REALLY a salt and vinegar girl, there his a brand called Smith's "square" crisps. They will take your head off they are so strong! Double decker's, you should really eat the top layer first then nibble around the bottom chocolate, THEN eat the crispy bit. Yes I live in England and am obsessed with crisps and snacks! Nice video's btw. Just watched a few. Keep up the good work and remember you can never do too many crisp videos!
Was just about to post about pickled onion Monster Munch, love em.
You are just delightful to watch and your ''One more just incase'' mentioned more than once, just shows how natural you are in front of the camera...looking forward to the next vid
you've discovered my kryptonite, double deckers.
HowzaWooldridge They look like Mars bars! lol!
smallpicture pffft they wish lol
Loving this channel, I find it so entertaining how things which are so normal to me are so alien to someone else.
I find it so fascinating!! Things that I take for granted as common knowledge are foreign to English people, just like common things to English are new to me! Lots to learn :)
you should try wotsits, don't eat them if your pregnant though they'll give your baby ginger hair
True, can confirm.
Great videos! If you've not had dandelion and burdock yet, you should give that a go.
It's on the list, thank you!
She will hate it! I know because (almost) everything she dislikes i dislike too, Blackjacks, Liquorice etc. & I HATE D&B! lol. (D&B is the devil's WEE!!) :-D
Dom Newman elderflower cordial- don’t smell it before drinking!
Great vid as always. Was the corner shop just selling 39p items? Lol. Have you tried a Frys Turkish Delight yet? Have yet to find anyone from outside the UK who likes them.
Can't say I've tried those particular ones - I've had a basic Turkish Delight before and definitely wasn't for me!!
I don't think anyone likes Frys Turkish Delight. It's like eating perfume jelly ?!
As a child 55-60 years ago Turkish Delight was my absolute favourite, I tried a bar a year or so ago and whilst still OK, my tastes have changed. By the way, I hope your regular diet is healthier than the items you feature in this video ;) Your videos are amusing though.
I like them too.
cs atlantic they are also about 1/4 to 1/2 size now compared to when I was a kid... they really are
I am chuckling at my desk at work, at your reactions... funny, funny, funny!
I moved to the UK from Australia 2 months ago so this is actually interesting to me! I haven't tried any of these things yet aha! I need a Double Decker asap...
Ahh I hope you're enjoying your time in the UK!!
Yeah you do, and a Star Bar. Oh, and Boost!
become my wife and property!..im trying to change the world with brain chemistry and serotonin
A&N, I just found your channel and I have to say I am loving the content. I am just watching through a load of your videos. Keep up the great work :)
Thanks so much, means a lot!!
Best Canadian crisps: covered bridge dill pickle.
Best British crisps: Yorkshire crisps Hendys relish flavour.
It does annoy me that they don't sell multipacks in Canada (except giant boxes of the things)
Those bobbys spirals looks like the rubbish that would have been 20p a few years ago.
No way, best Canadian crisps are Ruffles All-Dressed. I've been searching so long to find a similar British taste.
Would also accept Miss Vickies Salt and Vinegar as a runner-up (or Lays Salt and Vinegar as an extra back-up)
I like my ruffles undressed.
Miss Vickies and Lays are very good. Wish they had those British brands here. Maybe one day.
As an ex-pat Brit in Ontario. The best chips are Loblaws no name Ketchup chips (crisps).
Best British crisps are roast beef and mustard Brannigan's.
Another great video. I love your sense of humour. I think I've watched them all now. Take care and keep it up.x
Really appreciate it, thank you!!
you have to try barr irn bru it out sells coke and pepsi up here in scotland and barr cream soda with 2 scoops of ice cream in a glass its delish
I thought Irn Bru is way too sweet, tastes like liquefied cotton candy! Thanks though!
I’m with you on that - the diet version isn’t as aggressively sugary though, quite nice as long as it’s cold.
Irn Bru isn't the same.Not nearly as peppery but still the best hangover cure known to man.
You are just so adorable when talking too cam and you’re reactions are sooooo honest especially when you love something. I’ve only just discovered your channel 😝
Nik naks are amazinggggg. I would recommend the nice n spicy flavour 😂
When I was young, Smiths Crisps came with a "Blue bag" twist of salt, that's before the day's of "ready salted". You would open the pack of crisps which was in like a grease-proof paper bag and then rummage around for the little blue wrap of salt. It was like the blue touch paper on a firework - a square of paper with a pinch of salt in it and twisted closed. That was part of the fun when I was little.
Everything is 39p!
What a ridiculous number!!
Adventures and Naps some of them say 3 for a pound in my local shop might be the space raiders not sure lol
you should do more 39p snacks
Adventures and Naps they say 39p to make it sound cheap lol
David Parkinson yeah david parkinson... It is cheap? Bags of (crisps) chips are usually about 60 pence the cheap nasty junk is about 20 through to about 40p... 60p is the premium crisps price...
Try Kendal Mint Cake. It originated in Cumbria (The Lake District), and it's not really a cake, more of a solid block of sugar, which gives you lots of energy if you are a hardy hill walker or any pursuit where your energy is likely to flag. You can probably buy it online.
Try Jaffa cakes
Excellent reviews, thanks for being so complimentary of most of the snacks. Black Jacks are an acquired taste and I've never been a fan of custards. Can't believe you made dinner after all that, I was full watching you sample the delights. Take care
Boost is our best chocolate bar, you must try that one next time, you won't be disappointed. Double Decker is a close second though.
Boosts are good, but they have those biscuity bits floating randomly in the caramel. They can catch you unawares and hurt my teeth if I bite down on them unexpectedly.
Love a boost!
MeFreeBee Agreed. The Boost bar trumps them all. The peanut-butter KitKat comes in close seconds
@Alanna, Cream soda is great too. I haven't ate/drank any of the above in loooong time though, so I hope they haven't changed the formula!
The original Coconut Boost was the best, so annoying that they don't make it any more :( You can still get Peanut Boost, escept they changed the name back to Star Bar, which it was called *before* they renamed it Peanut Boost! Aargh so confusing!
But Star Bar is better than Biscuit Boost :P
(and toasted coconut Boost woukd be better than both if it still existed!)
No no no Starbar!
I believe the reason behind the small bags of crisps are for ease of transport post purchase. So you can easily add them to a packed lunch or to eat on the train or whatever.

I nearly wet myself laughing the look on your face when you bit into the double decker, hilarious!
Double Deckers rule!!!!
So happy that you stumbled upon the Double Decker. It's my favourite chocolate bar to get! I also like Snickers, Mars and Twix, but DD is definitely my fave.
Nice to see some of our long lost relatives come back to their ancestral home. You are adorable. Hope you love living here.
Very much so, thank you!! Always something to learn here!
love your reactions, could listen to you talk all day too
I love the fact that even if your not sure or you don't like it.... you just keep going 😂
Yes we do call them convenience stores or corner shops. Years ago all housing estates had one on most corners of the terraces.
Here are some more things you should try:
Mcvities Mini Cheddars (cheese biscuits)
Lion Bar (chocolate bar)
Danelion and burdock (fizzy drink)
Monster Munch (crisps)
bourbon biscuits
jaffa cakes
you can get coffee crisp bars here btw.
Barrs Iron Brew and Dandelion & Burdock
hearing you say "not being funny" in such a relaxed way really warmed my cockles :)
P.s frazzles are amazing!!!!! and the bubblegum is the best Barr drink
I love frazzles, but if you can find them (usually found in older pubs on a cardboard square) try bacon fries! They're something else, and scampi fries too, both are made by Smiths.
Double deckers are the best. Put one in the fridge overnight then eat it like that, it's just the best
That Double decker hit the spot eh
I really like that you can swear without sounding aggressive or rude
You're so sweet! Had to watch three of your videos tonight
Welcome, great to have you in UK. ☺
Loving your videos, I can’t stop watching them👍🏻 your naturally great 👍🏻
Spirals are delicious. Have you tried Burton's Fish & Chips? They are salt and vinegar in a little packet with a newspaper print. Oh Disco's are super strong too!
The Royal Mint has been minting coins since the year 886. The Bingley Arms, in Bardsey, Yorkshire, supposedly has been operating since the first half the 10th century and so claims to be both the oldest business and the oldest public house in England. Balson's butchery business in Bridport, Dorset, has been operating since 1515. That makes 1875 (7:50) seem like last week.
"Salt n Vinegar Spirals !", how did you find the "Avalon of Snacks?". Respect, only a chosen few know of their real worth...LOL
oh those frazzles will stick to your teeth. This is so much fun, watching you try all these things we've known since we were kids
You really make me laugh - thanks!
Wooh! Fellow Canadian here, I loved this!
I loved it when you said "I'm not being funny but...". You must have picked that up from us!
Great video. You're a natural. I love salt and vinegar too. You should seek out and try Walkers Pickled onion crisps. They seem to be a rare item but I get the feeling you will love them. If you can't find any I will happily send you some.
The bit about eating salt 'n' vinegar crisps with a cut (or ulcer) in the mouth: relatable content.:)
So, first off , Mcoys Crisps are o.k., but you really need to try some Brannigans. (roast beef and mustard are the best crisps ever)
second, my grandparents on my fathers side lived in Birmignham right close to the Cadbury factory, and every time we'd go see them, they'd take us on the factory tour where we'd eat SO MUCH CHOCOLATE. So as a lifelong Cadbury fanboy, I'm so glad you found us!
I do find myself watching you with a huge grin on my face. Don't know why. Nice video.
Fantastic presentation.You really made me smile. I was certain you'd like the Double Decker. You missed a trick with the Black Jacks - which is to stick them over your front teeth and pretend you've got a couple missing - hours of fun.
salt & vinegar spirals are best tried with ice cream, twist the crisp into the ice cream then pull it out - just like taking a ice core sample. Then eat the whole thing - it's a great mix of flavours and textures.
Frazzles are a poor man's pork rinds. Barr's is a Scottish company best known for a variety of fizzy drink/pop called Irn Bru (Iron Brew).
Perhaps Bob Isaac, one of the founders of Bobby's Foods, who, along with his business partner Michael Hancock, began selling and delivering cakes and sweets to supermarkets in and around Bromsgrove, in Worcestershire, in 1972. Big company now, with eleven depots throughout the UK.
If you like the tang of salt and vinegar, then you'll love walkers prawn cocktail flavour crisps, the pink packets, and yes you Can get a multi bag with 6 little packs inside!
Everything you bought was 39 pence; was the shop called the 39p shop. I can't believe they are still selling Frazzles. Great video btw.
You should try Kettle Chips, Balsamic Vinegar and Salt Crisps.
If you left and had to return to Canada ... What would you miss most about the UK ... Maybe do a video on that subject ...
Yes, Double Deckers are good, like sailor expletive good,
Flakes are good, and and MONSTER MUNCH
Tony Ripple is nicer than flake
You've made me laugh so hard! "Crisps" - it has honestly never occurred to me that it is indeed, horribly difficult to say.
That's some old school snacks you managed to dig out. I love all of these but haven't had most since I was a kid
A few other things to try would be Fish and Chip snacks which come in salt and vinegar sold in most big chains again. And for flavour has to be Brannagans sold in Poundland, ham and pickle are the faves but ham and mustard are pretty strong.
The purpose of the multi-bag crisps is that if you open them and store them for a long time, they don't get soggy.
Toffee Crisp, Lion Bar, Wispa are other British classic chocolates, Space Raider pickled onion crisps, also try Tango, and bottles of pop called Cream Soda, Vimto, Dandelion & Burdock, Cherryade, lots of classic British junk food and drink
If you like strong salt and vinegar crisps then you need to try Co-ops Sea salt and Chardonnay vinegar crisps, they are stronger than McCoys and are SO GOOD!
If you think saying "Crisps" is hard, Honey - try saying "Mixed Biscuits".
Quickly.
Ten times.
Perfectly.
It's an Elocution exercise that stage actors used to practise. Try it !
And then try it on your friends next time you're down the pub.
Believe me, "Crisps" will seem a LOT easier afterwards ;-)
I actually found the reverse. Most oddly. I expected to fail. But I find "crisps" the harder of the two.

" find "crisps" the harder of the two."
Interesting: are you from the UK - or somewhere else ? I don't think I've ever known anyone who had trouble with 'crisps' .
"Twelfth" , yes - but never "crisps" !
Hey, ho :-)
You really need to try 'chipsticks' if you love salt and vinegar flavour crisps. They're a similar texture to frazzles (made by same company). I'm not a big fan of salt and vinegar, but I do love chipsticks. Worcester sauce french fries are awesome too.
My mum works for Barr (the company who made your Limeade) their 2 best drinks are Tizer and IRN BRU. Also try Dandelion and Burdock drink if you like Dr Pepper its a little similar. Food snacks: Try Space Raiders 20p a pack. Try salt and vinegar flavour Thingies, also come in other flavours and cost around same. Also cadbury Freddos 30p. Try chocolate covered Hobnobs. And try strawberry Fruitellas they are sweets. Our drinks all have so many sweeteners in now they were so much better in the late 90s/early 2000s. If you love crisps try any flavour of Golden Wonder and my favourite are any SEABROOK crisps but s&v, Prawn cocktail and cheese and onion are all good.
If a shop sells alcohol it is an 'offie'. That is the owner has a licence to sell alcohol for consumption Off The Premises. Hence Off Licence and 'Offie'. A typical pub or 'boozer' (as we old folks used to call them) has a licence for consumption On The Premises.
Other than that, it's just a shop, as "I'm off to the shops, do you want anything?"
love your videos here, note: our crisps and choc bars used to be bigger, but we pay the same price or more, so we're all being ripped off,
but its to do with "portion size" they think less crisps or smaller chocolate will help with the obesity crisis,
and as others have commented, never mind the limeade, you need to try IRN BRU, it used to (might still?) out-sell Coca-Cola up here in Scotland
How can you only have just discovered a double decker. They are the best thing ever invented. Ever. In the whole of human history!
As a native brit I can confirm to you that the most popular british snacks (and not the mass produced and there for international ones that you appear to be highly trying) and there for the mainly locally produced and british ones) which are amongst the most famous and popular that you should film yourself trying are: Malteasers, Galaxy chocolate (most popular british chocolate brand as Cadburys is American), Jaffa cakes the English kitkat, and the most popular crisp brands, Walkers and Hoolahoops.
Haha! You are BRILLIANT! Double Deckers have been around for years, so not ‘new’ as such.
