Red Bull was developed in corporation with Chaleo Yoovidhya, the creator of Krating Daeng, and the Yoodvidhya family actually owns 51% of the Red Bull company. that's how they are "getting away" with it. both companies are simply owned by the same people. also, Krating Daeng means "red gaur" - a bovine native to South-East Asia.
Dietrich Mateschitz adapted it for the European/American markets but never changed the branding or really even the name since it's as close to a literal translation as possible. The thing he brought to Red Bull was the marketing, first as a party drink for students and then through extreme sports.
I need you boys to know that when the marmite was revealed, me and my partner (both Aussie) immediately started chanting "VEGEMITE, VEGEMITE, VEGEMITE" and then cheered like our bloody sports team won a game when vegemite was revealed.
Vegemite has such a stronghold in Australia. There’s a classic line in the original puberty blues movie where the girl is home sick and the Mum’s instant reaction is to offer her “Vegemite toast and a cup of tea?”. We have cheeseymite scrolls (Vegemite and cheese) in our big chain bakery stores, and it’s offered as a condiment at every cafe or hotel brekky. Even on our hospital breakfast trays. We’re happy little Vegemites as bright as bright can be 🙃

As a lifelong KitKat lover in the US, the quality of chocolate in ours has gone down hill in recent years. Hopefully the ones in other countries are still better quality.
There is a Marmite in NZ, it is very different to British Marmite. In NZ it contains caramel. In NZ UK Marmite is sold in the same jar and lable except it is sold as Our mate.
while watching this video, my computer started lagging all through the marmite vs vegemite segment. Jamie's frozen faces were priceless. They should be on T-shirts.
I don't bother spreading it thinly. I could eat it by the spoon. It has had a decades long absence from my life, because I moved to the Netherlands as a kid and could only get it whenever I visited the UK. It would take years for me to finish the bottle (it one of those things that never go off). Then I found a store in the Netherlands, but had to travel a bit. Luckily, there's an expat store now in the neighborhood and I can get it there.😋🤩
I'm glad Barry mentioned soft cheese with Vegemite. A classic school sandwich, at least in the 80s, was a Vegemite and cheese sandwich, the cheese of choice usually being Kraft Singles. Sitting in the hot summer Aussie sun, the cheese melted slightly as well. Even today, at 51, I love a Vegemite and a Kraft Singles slice on hot buttered toast for brekky (breakfast).
When my mom was a kid, she grew up in the extreme NW corner of Minnesota. At the time KitKat wasn’t available in the States. One of her aunts was the postmistress at a post office in a border town. In the summer when visiting her aunt, she would walk across the border into Canada and buy KitKats.
As an Australian, I applaud Ben for spreading the correct amount of Vegemite as opposed to every American late night show that eats entire spoon fulls.
So then was the Australian that introduced me to it fucking with me? Because she SLATHERED it on everything we tasted Vegemite on. I didn't hate it, but MAN was it too intense the way I had it.
@@kJ922-h3j We do - we just don't care and can't be bothered mentioning it. They're not quite the same - share some common ingredients and have the same flavour intentions, but they are distinctly different taste and texture wise.
I love that KitKat is a goodlucks charm, cause Kitto Katsu (きっと勝つ) sounds so cute but Japan basically has a flavor for every person which makes it that much more sentimental
@@simbryce4475 Nope. We got nothin' like it. Or at least it's not popular. I'm sure there are yeast spreads here... somewhere, but not at chain grocery stores.
New Zealand Marmite is apparently different too. According to my Father UK Marmite has changed over the years as Lager became more popular. I do remember the London Pride Marmite being different. I love the stuff, so expensive in the US... (Even though so many chefs use ut in cooking)
If Spaff likes the experimental KitKat flavours, there's plenty to find (JP only usually, though). Apart from the sake one that Ebbers mentioned, I recall red wine, soy sauce, wasabi (not too spicy), strawberry + red bean, and a creme brulee one that was designed to be lightly toasted before eating.
As a Kiwi I was so disappointed that when you lifted the closh on the vegemite that it wasn't New Zealand Marmite. I do highly recommend comparing NZ Marmite to UK Marmite and AU Vegemite. I imagine it tastes perhaps closer to the UK Marmite, but has the texture of the AU Vegemite. People here in NZ are so obsessed with our Marmite that when the Sanitarium (brand who makes Marmite) factory had to close due to earthquake damage in 2012 all the newspapers were screaming about "Marmageddon" and stories about ludicrous sales of Marmite on the blackmarket. For reference, a 500g jar would be $7.19, but was then found to be sold in one instance for $1110! This wasn't an isolated case either. They have since reopened their factory and it's all good again but people went absolutely hysterical.
I was disappointed too. Definitely hoping for a three-way face off! UK vs AUS vs NZ. They are all so different yet similar in the way that they divide the room
American here. I've bought both Marmite and Vegemite to experiment with. Marmite spread on warm toast -- crucially, with butter! -- is a good breakfast, actually tastes good if you get over the childish impulse to spread it on thick. Both work as bouillon for broth or stock, but I like the Vegemite better that way. Mostly I would prefer to add nutritional yeast to my food over either, though.
As a pom living in Australia for over 20 years, I was brought up on Marmite, there is a Australian version of Marmite called mymate. Great that you mentioned cheese going with vegemite as we have a version called cheesymite which is a combination of vegemite and cheese spread, also all bakers over here in Australia also do cheese andvegemite scrolls which are to die for.
What you need to try is Cenovis- the Swiss version of Marmite! It's gentler, softer, much less of a kick in the teeth. It always makes me think of the bottom of a ready-salted crisp packet. Comes in tubes or in pots, and it's ICONIC here. So good on bread with butter. Invented 1931.
Wow you just hit me with nostalgia! I went to Japan back in May last year and I also came back with a huge variety box of Japanese Kit Kats that I brought into work for everyone to enjoy. Suffice to say, they were VERY popular and the contents of the box was polished off in the space of a few hours! I asked our tour guide the best place to buy them and she recommended a place called “Don Quixote”. She was right and I had a bought a bunch of Kit-Kat products! I wonder if Jamie purchased his stash from there also.
I am Canadian... I love you guys so much. I whish we could do such a thing, where everyone is honest and not trying to be more than they are. Ebbers what are you putting in your pocket here ? You guys are my absolute favorite brits bloke. You are just the sweetest people. How the F you manage that ? If it was done in a Canadian way. The weak guy, would be considered gay. I absolutely love how all you guys accept your weaknesses and you all love each other. Real friendship. That is amazing to me. You all embrace each others strenght and weaknesses. I love you blokes!
7:48 In a similar-ish vein (I don't know if the UK uses this phrase) Okkie dokkie in English sounds very much like tokidoki in Japanese which means sometimes. 時々=ときどき = sometimes. (toe'key doe'key)
If they are to do surströmming again they must first make sure that the can is transported cold - it is supposed to be refrigerated, and second that they eat it with the correct accompaniments.
We had Macha and Raspberry Kit 10:17 Kat bars in the shop I work at. It was a limited time. Most of them expired and I was the one that had to destroy them all.🙂🇨🇦
I have a Korean friend who shared multi-flavoured kit-kat's with me. We have only had the original milk chocolate here in the States until a couple of years ago when they expanded to dark and white chocolate. They do come in all shapes and sizes, though!
3:41 Chat pataka from my understanding is isn't necessarily like a direct flavour its giving but like saying we give zingy zang to a food with a addition of X or if you chaat your fingers you lick them one by one like you had a sugary doughnt say. Pataka means firework.
Red Bull Austria is part owned by the original Thai company and the drink is licensed by the Thai company too. Dietrich Mateschitz partnered with the owner, who is 51% shareholder I believe.
Marmite FTW :-) I'm from South Africa and we grew up with Marmite, Oxo and Bovril spreads ... after school toast, one with any of the aforementioned spreads and the second with fish paste, Redro or Peck's .. yummmm
In Thailand there are dozens and dozens of energy drinks, all in bottles like the Thai Red Bull. Any 7-11 (are there are lots and lots of these) will have a whole section of the cold drinks section with at least a dozen different brands.
I think you could make a whole yeast episode. In Germany I once bought a drink called Vitamalz. It tasted a lot like marmite. When it's room temperature it smells and tastes like a compost heap, when it's cold it's really sweet tasty and more-ish. Really fascinating!
Vegemite is great as a beef flavour enhancer in stews and soups, and I eat it on toast as thick as Baz and its great with cheese. But my best one is buttered toast with vegemite, fried runny yolk egg on top and covered in baked beans. Best combo ever. Bit of cripsy bacon is nice as well.
As a Thai myself, I want to share the history of Red Bull. Red Bull was first started in Thailand since 1975 with the same product that you have in this video. After that, an Austrian billionaire founded a new company together with the Thai owner, Chaleo Yuwidraya. The export version in the aluminium can was created afterward for the international market.
As a New Zealander, I am so offended that you guys didn't try NZ Marmite which has a texture in between British Marmite and the Australian vegemite. However I still thoroughly enjoyed the video.
When I used to live in Japan I would try to get all the new flavours of everything that would come out, specially Kit-Kat, my favorites were the ones that would come in easter, the banana flavour ones!
Here in South Africa we also have an alternative to marmite called Bovril, which is the meat version of Marmite but my family also has a sweet and salty dessert in marmite cake. Which is essentially a vanilla sponge cake with marmite mixed with melted butter poured over the cake while hot and then topped witb cheese.
In Canada 7up and Pepsi are both sweeter and flatter than Sprite or Coca Cola. My favourite candy bar is a Coffee Crisp but I often default to a Kit Kat if I want a hit of stronger chocolate. We also have a local favourite chocolate bar called a Cuban Lunch which was discontinued for years until the recipe was bought and it is again produced for all of those that grew up loving it.
I've heard a lot about Marmite and Vegemite but never heard how different they are to each other. Nice to see a side-by-side taste test. I must have only tried Vegemite and was told Marmite was going to be the same but just another brand. Totally different texture and ingredients! The explanation of the names was nice to hear as well.
We get a version of Marmite in Australia from NZ, it is a spread like Vegemite, it was my first exposure to Marmite before trying the English version and I do not like the English version at all. I actually prefer Promite personally.
Dunno if someone has mentioned this already, but the kitkats in Japan are also a regional thing. If you go to major railway stations across the country they will stock the kitkat flavour associated with their region so when you buy some to gift to your friends and colleagues they will probably expect that region's delicacy! Haha.
2:50 "Chatpat ka taste" the "ka" directly translates to "of" so that statement essentially means "taste of chatpat" and "chatpat"is used to describe a tangy-spicy sort of taste.
I'm an Aussie & I recently had an unopened 150g squeezable container (how it was sold) of Vegemite, confiscated by Australian customs when leaving Aus to go on hols to Bali. I tried to argue that it wasn't a liquid as they took it away, quite possibly to their Staff tearoom. Had to have Balinese Pineapple jam or grilled tomatoes on my morning toast, poor substitutes as no B vitamins in either
Kit Kat also had (or has, dont know, dont live there) a shop in Melbourne AU where you could create your own block. Using whatever fillings, coating, and topping (Like popping candy on the outside of the choc)
The first time I tried Vegemite was about 25 years ago in a backpacker hostel in Turkey which was run by an Australian couple (and 99% of the guest were from Australia too). The breakfast consisted of just 3 items: slightly burnt toast, milk tea and Vegemite. I can't say that I liked it. Same goes for Marmite: I was introduced to this "treat" almost 40 years ago in the UK, when my girlfriend and I stayed at a B&B in Nottinghamshire and the lovely old landlady insisted that we should have it for breakfast because "it will help you with those things that young couples do when the light is switched off" (I will never forget her wink when she put generous amounts of Marmite on our toast). Lately I started to like Marmite (Vegemite is not so easy to find here in Germany) but I usually eat it with something fruity like quince jelly or lemon curd.
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 I don't know if it's still sold there but I found them in my local Edeka... And I think when it was still Real, that one had it, too. In my region it was Vegemite over Marmite in terms of availability. I like neither, so I haven't looked for it for a few years now..
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 either on amazon or in some of the world's cuisine type of stores / aisles. There are also some Australian food / items specialty stores in Frankfurt and Münster and probably in other cities, I imagine in Berlin or München you could find anything.
Another great video and interesting to see comparable products from around the world. My favorite of the KitKats from Japan was the Rum Raisin that I got on a trip back in 2019.
There is a kiwi Marmite which is much closer to British Marmite! Would definitely recommend giving that a whirl because there's a difference between Vegemite and Marmite here in NZ!
@@DizzyBusy it's created by a brand called Sanitarium but you can get typically British marmite, it just trades under a different name. The NZ marmite is quite similar texture to Vegemite but lots of people prefer marmite I would say!
@@DizzyBusy It's a different brand, made by Sanitarium who bought the rights for the Australasian region, with a slightly changed recipe. It seems to be less potent. You can get it in the UK under the name of 'NZ-mite'. Marmite is available Down Under under the name 'Our Mate'.
Hi from Brisbane, Australia… For those interested try these Vegemite combos. Note: butter has a better taste than margarine. * Bread, butter, Vegemite * Toast, butter, Vegemite. * Bread or toast, butter, Vegemite, cheese (any type, including cheese spread) * Bread, butter, Vegemite, plain potato chips. All very yummy!
Great video, i think you should expand the series to cover different version of the same item. E.g. New Zealand Marmite, Australian Promite, MightyMite, AussieMite, OzEmite, German Vitam-R, and Swiss Cenovis.
If mad scientist was a profession I feel Ben would be right at home with it. Just with the way he takes such delight with explaining things, while some of the things he says with such a straight face.
About Baz mentioning using marmite with cheddar and vegemite with softer cheeses, in Aus we usually have vegemite with "Tasty Cheese" which is cheddar that's been aged longer than usual so it's got less moisture and a sharper flavour
The Marmite divide, people seem to have, I find fascinating, I grew up in the Netherlands with salty liquorice (and the root I chewed on as a kid as well), and since that also divides a lot of people, I wonder if getting used to that taste (and liking it) also makes me like marmite. Love it on a bit of cheese.
The vegemite/Marmite segment was so funny to me because when my Aussie friend brought me vegemite, she said the trick was, don't slather it on. Just use a thin layer, on buttered toast. Here comes Barry with that absolute schmear of Marmite 😅 But of course she meant for when you arent used to the flavor, so it was Jamie I was concerned for. I love to use it the way Sorted uses miso, to add a bit of umame depth to sweet things
The thai red bull used to be consumed by night bus drivers in Thailand, to keep them awake for the long overnight trip. After several still went to sleep, whilst driving (hence causing really bad accident), it was "banned".
@@_ashraya_ Did you really have to say it has to be consumed? I don't think anybody would think they would fail a breathalyzer by merely holding a unopened can in their hands.
I'm french, however loooove Vegemite. It's the best on a toasted buttered crumpet. When I came back to France, Marmite couldn't help with my vegemite cravings, was so surprised how different the taste is I blame the look of the jars lol. Thanks @sorted food for trying it the right (as a spread) compared to so many youtubre videos where they try it on a spoon ... and of course can't appreciate it properly or give a proper analysis of the product.
1:59 I’m not a fan of Masala Thums Up/Soda but I like the Nimbooz as it is. Also, we used to have a brand called LMN (Lime Cordial meets Soft Drink) that was just brilliant.
Please try the German Vitam-R, it's also a yeast extract but way smoother and creamier. I'd strongly recommend it as a followup! Also with butter, and preferably cheese on toast.
I was wondering if you guys could do a electric tea kettle and maybe other appliances care episode. How do you clean them since you can't wash it in the sink and other items like that maybe a coffee machine and other basic kitchen equipment. ( Especially a tea kettle one for people who don't live in the UK that don't have as much experience with one )
Just stir a couple of tablespoons of citric acid (powdered) into recently boiled water in your kettle and leave it for 30-60 mins. It will disolve limescale better than practically anything. The fact it is a safe cooking ingredient, means that you don't have to do anything other than rinse it out. You can repeat the treatments as needed. The outside can just be wiped down. I've cleaned my kettles/water heaters like this for years.
Blows my mind that 2 foodies and chef that run a youtube channel have never tried vegemite. It's been my go to for 10+ years now. Buttered toast with a smear of vegemite is elite; even Jamie might enjoy it.
As an Australian, Vegemite is the best. It is ideal on hot generously buttered toast, that's my goto remedy for when I have an upset stomach. But also just because it's yummy. Vegemite also works well as a seasoning for the lack of a better word. I add it to beef stews, in my version of a meat ragu for pasta, cottage pie, etc. I'm not a fan of it with cheese, but it is wonderful on toast with avocado and pepper.
I’m an American who uses marmite or Vegemite mainly to add umami to stews, but if I’m wanting a nice savory spread to eat as the primary flavor, it has to be Vegemite. The texture, taste, everything just more what I need.
I can tell you guys are in a cool climate because you can touch the chocolate and not make a mess! Down Under, I freeze it, then eat it from the wrapper and put it on a plate between bites, otherwise the chocolate melts and gets everywhere.
I really like this format, it's really interesting to hear the comparison. On thing that I'm surprised that you didn't mention about original flavor Kit Kats is that the filling between the wafers is made of ground up, rejected Kit Kats.
So Ben was right about the gift culture for kit kats in japan, but it actually has to do less with limited editions as far as time but more location! When traveling it is typical to return with Omiyage or souvenirs for family and friends and these tend to be local delicacies, there is a whole market surrounding this culture. Kit Kats have capitalized by having their flavours localized to specific prefectures, cities, and even train stations!
Red Bull was developed in corporation with Chaleo Yoovidhya, the creator of Krating Daeng, and the Yoodvidhya family actually owns 51% of the Red Bull company. that's how they are "getting away" with it. both companies are simply owned by the same people. also, Krating Daeng means "red gaur" - a bovine native to South-East Asia.

The comic timing of Ebbers telling Baz which way to vom swiftly followed by the impromptu 7UP explosion had me crying laughing 🤣
I came searching for this comment cause I just had to pause the video to deal with me literally crying laughing 😂🤣
Pretty sure Ben's comment didn't help either! It prompted just the tiniest bit of a laugh, which gave way to all the rest! 😂
I rewatched that moment so many times that I forgot what the video was supposed to be about.
I never usually laugh out loud watching anything. This made my head hurt.

Yeah but the thing is that marmite is stronger
Marmite, the British one, is the original 😂 we know it better than the Aussies
You can keep your vegemite it's awful. Marmite thickly spread on hot buttered toast - delicious.

Vegemite (spread thinly) on toast (with butter), eaten with eggs-fried, scrambled, or poached.
Breakfast perfection at any time of day or night!
Mix with butter and use as a basting sauce for roast chicken. It's phenomenal 😍
Vegemite and peanut butter on toast is excellent too!

It has had a decades long absence from my life, because I moved to the Netherlands as a kid and could only get it whenever I visited the UK.

Apart from the sake one that Ebbers mentioned, I recall red wine, soy sauce, wasabi (not too spicy), strawberry + red bean, and a creme brulee one that was designed to be lightly toasted before eating.
As a Kiwi I was so disappointed that when you lifted the closh on the vegemite that it wasn't New Zealand Marmite. I do highly recommend comparing NZ Marmite to UK Marmite and AU Vegemite. I imagine it tastes perhaps closer to the UK Marmite, but has the texture of the AU Vegemite. People here in NZ are so obsessed with our Marmite that when the Sanitarium (brand who makes Marmite) factory had to close due to earthquake damage in 2012 all the newspapers were screaming about "Marmageddon" and stories about ludicrous sales of Marmite on the blackmarket. For reference, a 500g jar would be $7.19, but was then found to be sold in one instance for $1110! This wasn't an isolated case either. They have since reopened their factory and it's all good again but people went absolutely hysterical.
yeah i was not impressed by that either, especially when they didnt even mention it, sure their research team is not that bad?
I was disappointed too. Definitely hoping for a three-way face off! UK vs AUS vs NZ. They are all so different yet similar in the way that they divide the room
I always feel like a bad kiwi for preferring Vegemite, but it did mean it was fine during marmageddon!
NZ Marmite is closely related to axle grease. Both in taste and texture, a whole jar of wrong
Ahh! Feels like a blast from the past. Just thinking about Marmageddon and how we as a whole country just wents nuts about not getting marmite!
American here. I've bought both Marmite and Vegemite to experiment with. Marmite spread on warm toast -- crucially, with butter! -- is a good breakfast, actually tastes good if you get over the childish impulse to spread it on thick. Both work as bouillon for broth or stock, but I like the Vegemite better that way. Mostly I would prefer to add nutritional yeast to my food over either, though.
Jamie, the faces you made trying to eat the marmite and vegemite made me laugh out loud. 😂 Just perfect!
As a pom living in Australia for over 20 years, I was brought up on Marmite, there is a Australian version of Marmite called mymate. Great that you mentioned cheese going with vegemite as we have a version called cheesymite which is a combination of vegemite and cheese spread, also all bakers over here in Australia also do cheese andvegemite scrolls which are to die for.
My mate is the dick Smith knock off of vegemite
What you need to try is Cenovis- the Swiss version of Marmite! It's gentler, softer, much less of a kick in the teeth. It always makes me think of the bottom of a ready-salted crisp packet. Comes in tubes or in pots, and it's ICONIC here. So good on bread with butter. Invented 1931.
Wow you just hit me with nostalgia! I went to Japan back in May last year and I also came back with a huge variety box of Japanese Kit Kats that I brought into work for everyone to enjoy.
Suffice to say, they were VERY popular and the contents of the box was polished off in the space of a few hours!
I asked our tour guide the best place to buy them and she recommended a place called “Don Quixote”.
She was right and I had a bought a bunch of Kit-Kat products!
I wonder if Jamie purchased his stash from there also.
Vegemite does work well with Cheese.
Do a grilled Cheese but put vegemite on the bread. It's amazing.
A grilled cheese and some bouliion is nice, so I guess this would work as well.
It's also fantastic as a flavour enhancer in risotto. A tablespoon of vegemite in the pan as the stock is absorbing will do wonders
Or even better, through the Vegemite in the bin and use some of the proper stuff!
Watching this after eating a Vegemite grilled cheese ✌️
I am Canadian... I love you guys so much. I whish we could do such a thing, where everyone is honest and not trying to be more than they are. Ebbers what are you putting in your pocket here ? You guys are my absolute favorite brits bloke. You are just the sweetest people. How the F you manage that ? If it was done in a Canadian way. The weak guy, would be considered gay. I absolutely love how all you guys accept your weaknesses and you all love each other. Real friendship. That is amazing to me. You all embrace each others strenght and weaknesses. I love you blokes!
An old coworker of mine regularly visited Japan, and always brought back big packs of different kinds of Kitkats for everyone. It was the best
7:48 In a similar-ish vein (I don't know if the UK uses this phrase) Okkie dokkie in English sounds very much like tokidoki in Japanese which means sometimes. 時々=ときどき = sometimes. (toe'key doe'key)
Barry doing food challenges without throwing up series when?
Ohhhhh YYYYEEESSSSSSSSSSS - I SECOND THAT ONE! Full menu of Surstömming, 7up to down it and Durian for dessert....
Eat a banana then drink a Sprite and try to keep it down
If they are to do surströmming again they must first make sure that the can is transported cold - it is supposed to be refrigerated, and second that they eat it with the correct accompaniments.
@@mikeljenkswhen he said the 7 up challenge my mind went to the 2 banana and 2 litres of sprite that professional eaters do.
Because watching some be sick will make me sick as well, and i dont feel.like vomitting b.c you have some mental sickness for liking that content.
We had Macha and Raspberry Kit 10:17 Kat bars in the shop I work at. It was a limited time. Most of them expired and I was the one that had to destroy them all.🙂🇨🇦
Jamie’s reaction to Marmite is a silent movie in itself.
😂
Vegemite smells like burning tire rubber and dog food. Tastes...Like that, but with a ramen seasoning packet mixed in. Blech.
I have a Korean friend who shared multi-flavoured kit-kat's with me. We have only had the original milk chocolate here in the States until a couple of years ago when they expanded to dark and white chocolate. They do come in all shapes and sizes, though!
Omg I was watching this at the gym and tripped on the treadmill because I was laughing so hard at Barry! 😂
3:41 Chat pataka from my understanding is isn't necessarily like a direct flavour its giving but like saying we give zingy zang to a food with a addition of X or if you chaat your fingers you lick them one by one like you had a sugary doughnt say. Pataka means firework.
Red Bull Austria is part owned by the original Thai company and the drink is licensed by the Thai company too. Dietrich Mateschitz partnered with the owner, who is 51% shareholder I believe.
Other way around. The Thai business man owns 51% and didi owned 49%. Didi passed though October 2022, not sure who is the new owner of those shares
@@EvLSpectreDietrich’s son took over his shares
@@EvLSpectre yeah that's what I meant. The Thai business owner, Yoohvidhya, owned 51%. My phrasing was just a bit ambiguous😂
Yea ended up checking who took over shares right after and left a comment about it. Though RB is more marketing company now than drinks almost. Haha
@@EvLSpectreIt always was.
Jamie, over here the jingle in the 90s went : “Gimmie a break! Gimmie a break! Break me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!”
Others may know the tune in the US as "Break me off a piece of that Fancy Feast!"
iykyk
@@MrCocoloco FOR THE WIN, SIR! *hands MrCocoloco a gold yogurt lid attached to daisy-chained paper clips.
I recited that immediately!
That’s going to be stuck in my head for days.
Marmite FTW :-) I'm from South Africa and we grew up with Marmite, Oxo and Bovril spreads ... after school toast, one with any of the aforementioned spreads and the second with fish paste, Redro or Peck's .. yummmm
In Thailand there are dozens and dozens of energy drinks, all in bottles like the Thai Red Bull. Any 7-11 (are there are lots and lots of these) will have a whole section of the cold drinks section with at least a dozen different brands.
I think you could make a whole yeast episode. In Germany I once bought a drink called Vitamalz. It tasted a lot like marmite. When it's room temperature it smells and tastes like a compost heap, when it's cold it's really sweet tasty and more-ish. Really fascinating!
Jamie's Cat No Banana faces over the marmite/vegemite killed me
100% agree with Barry's way of eating a KitKat. I do it that way every time!
Vegemite is great as a beef flavour enhancer in stews and soups, and I eat it on toast as thick as Baz and its great with cheese. But my best one is buttered toast with vegemite, fried runny yolk egg on top and covered in baked beans. Best combo ever. Bit of cripsy bacon is nice as well.
07:03 Of course that's how Jamie eats a KitKat. That evil laugh. I had the exact same reaction as Barry.
As a Thai myself, I want to share the history of Red Bull.
Red Bull was first started in Thailand since 1975 with the same product that you have in this video. After that, an Austrian billionaire founded a new company together with the Thai owner, Chaleo Yuwidraya. The export version in the aluminium can was created afterward for the international market.
It’s always been interesting to me how brands have to slightly alter their products to suit the different pallets and tastes around the world
Same here! Super interesting.
As a New Zealander, I am so offended that you guys didn't try NZ Marmite which has a texture in between British Marmite and the Australian vegemite. However I still thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Would love a series on dishes that have been influenced by elsewhere or even come from elsewhere, but are now viewed as local to the UK
Tea, sugar, chips, kebabs, curry and even black pepper came to be British through conquest and genocide.
Wouldn't that just be all of Northern Indian food? 😅
When I used to live in Japan I would try to get all the new flavours of everything that would come out, specially Kit-Kat, my favorites were the ones that would come in easter, the banana flavour ones!
There is a NZ Marmite that is different from both. The factory shut down in the Christchurch earthquake and lead to hoarding it like gold for a while.
Here in South Africa we also have an alternative to marmite called Bovril, which is the meat version of Marmite but my family also has a sweet and salty dessert in marmite cake. Which is essentially a vanilla sponge cake with marmite mixed with melted butter poured over the cake while hot and then topped witb cheese.
In Canada 7up and Pepsi are both sweeter and flatter than Sprite or Coca Cola. My favourite candy bar is a Coffee Crisp but I often default to a Kit Kat if I want a hit of stronger chocolate. We also have a local favourite chocolate bar called a Cuban Lunch which was discontinued for years until the recipe was bought and it is again produced for all of those that grew up loving it.
I've heard a lot about Marmite and Vegemite but never heard how different they are to each other. Nice to see a side-by-side taste test. I must have only tried Vegemite and was told Marmite was going to be the same but just another brand. Totally different texture and ingredients! The explanation of the names was nice to hear as well.
We get a version of Marmite in Australia from NZ, it is a spread like Vegemite, it was my first exposure to Marmite before trying the English version and I do not like the English version at all. I actually prefer Promite personally.
Episodes like this will always remind me of why Baz is my favorite. 😂😂 So chaotic. Also explaining the best way to eat a Kit-Kat! Yes!
Exactly, who doesn't eat a kit kat that way?!
Dunno if someone has mentioned this already, but the kitkats in Japan are also a regional thing. If you go to major railway stations across the country they will stock the kitkat flavour associated with their region so when you buy some to gift to your friends and colleagues they will probably expect that region's delicacy! Haha.
2:50 "Chatpat ka taste" the "ka" directly translates to "of" so that statement essentially means "taste of chatpat" and "chatpat"is used to describe a tangy-spicy sort of taste.
I'm an Aussie & I recently had an unopened 150g squeezable container (how it was sold) of Vegemite, confiscated by Australian customs when leaving Aus to go on hols to Bali. I tried to argue that it wasn't a liquid as they took it away, quite possibly to their Staff tearoom. Had to have Balinese Pineapple jam or grilled tomatoes on my morning toast, poor substitutes as no B vitamins in either
Barry's hubris gets him again 😂 "surely"
Kit Kat also had (or has, dont know, dont live there) a shop in Melbourne AU where you could create your own block. Using whatever fillings, coating, and topping (Like popping candy on the outside of the choc)
The first time I tried Vegemite was about 25 years ago in a backpacker hostel in Turkey which was run by an Australian couple (and 99% of the guest were from Australia too). The breakfast consisted of just 3 items: slightly burnt toast, milk tea and Vegemite. I can't say that I liked it. Same goes for Marmite: I was introduced to this "treat" almost 40 years ago in the UK, when my girlfriend and I stayed at a B&B in Nottinghamshire and the lovely old landlady insisted that we should have it for breakfast because "it will help you with those things that young couples do when the light is switched off" (I will never forget her wink when she put generous amounts of Marmite on our toast). Lately I started to like Marmite (Vegemite is not so easy to find here in Germany) but I usually eat it with something fruity like quince jelly or lemon curd.
How or where could one find Vegemite in Germany?
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 I cant answer that question. But if you are not far away from Switzerland, you can get cenovis there, which is like marmite.
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 I don't know if it's still sold there but I found them in my local Edeka... And I think when it was still Real, that one had it, too. In my region it was Vegemite over Marmite in terms of availability. I like neither, so I haven't looked for it for a few years now..
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 either on amazon or in some of the world's cuisine type of stores / aisles. There are also some Australian food / items specialty stores in Frankfurt and Münster and probably in other cities, I imagine in Berlin or München you could find anything.
@@erzsebetkovacs2527Amazon
Another great video and interesting to see comparable products from around the world.
My favorite of the KitKats from Japan was the Rum Raisin that I got on a trip back in 2019.
There is a kiwi Marmite which is much closer to British Marmite! Would definitely recommend giving that a whirl because there's a difference between Vegemite and Marmite here in NZ!
That's interesting. Is it a Marmite product or a different brand altogether?
@@DizzyBusy it's created by a brand called Sanitarium but you can get typically British marmite, it just trades under a different name. The NZ marmite is quite similar texture to Vegemite but lots of people prefer marmite I would say!
@@DizzyBusy It's a different brand, made by Sanitarium who bought the rights for the Australasian region, with a slightly changed recipe. It seems to be less potent. You can get it in the UK under the name of 'NZ-mite'. Marmite is available Down Under under the name 'Our Mate'.
Hi from Brisbane, Australia…
For those interested try these Vegemite combos. Note: butter has a better taste than margarine.
* Bread, butter, Vegemite
* Toast, butter, Vegemite.
* Bread or toast, butter, Vegemite, cheese (any type, including cheese spread)
* Bread, butter, Vegemite, plain potato chips.
All very yummy!
Great video, i think you should expand the series to cover different version of the same item. E.g. New Zealand Marmite, Australian Promite, MightyMite, AussieMite, OzEmite, German Vitam-R, and Swiss Cenovis.
As soon as Barry started describing how to eat a kit kat I felt so validated. That's EXACTLY how I do it. He's right, it's the best way. 😂
If mad scientist was a profession I feel Ben would be right at home with it.
Just with the way he takes such delight with explaining things, while some of the things he says with such a straight face.
About Baz mentioning using marmite with cheddar and vegemite with softer cheeses, in Aus we usually have vegemite with "Tasty Cheese" which is cheddar that's been aged longer than usual so it's got less moisture and a sharper flavour
1:18 Barry is having problems there guys!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What gives you that impression? 🤣
@@SortedFood a hunch 🤣🤣🤣
@@danielsantiagourtado3430 your instincts are top notch😆
Now tell him Diet Coke and Mentos are a little known flavour combination
Gonna need this as a reaction gif
The Marmite divide, people seem to have, I find fascinating, I grew up in the Netherlands with salty liquorice (and the root I chewed on as a kid as well), and since that also divides a lot of people, I wonder if getting used to that taste (and liking it) also makes me like marmite. Love it on a bit of cheese.
The correct way to eat a Kit Kat is take a bite getting a piece of all four sticks (across the grain) just to annoy your friends.
😡
Psychopath like my wife…
And eaten like a banana while most of it is still in the package. Only an animal touches food with their hands.
What sort of antisocial behaviour is this? Next you'll be telling me you bite into a mandarin like eating an apple.
Are you part of the church of fuckery? XD The Goddess of fuckery even ate like this with the wrappers still on!
The vegemite/Marmite segment was so funny to me because when my Aussie friend brought me vegemite, she said the trick was, don't slather it on. Just use a thin layer, on buttered toast. Here comes Barry with that absolute schmear of Marmite 😅 But of course she meant for when you arent used to the flavor, so it was Jamie I was concerned for. I love to use it the way Sorted uses miso, to add a bit of umame depth to sweet things
The thai red bull used to be consumed by night bus drivers in Thailand, to keep them awake for the long overnight trip. After several still went to sleep, whilst driving (hence causing really bad accident), it was "banned".
That's super interesting!
I have also seen it used by many taxi drivers in Thailand.
It comes in 8 or twelve packs. After six my heartrate was a million a minute😂
Redbull in Nepal when consumed gives a positive result in the breathalyzer.
@@_ashraya_ Did you really have to say it has to be consumed? I don't think anybody would think they would fail a breathalyzer by merely holding a unopened can in their hands.
I'm french, however loooove Vegemite. It's the best on a toasted buttered crumpet. When I came back to France, Marmite couldn't help with my vegemite cravings, was so surprised how different the taste is I blame the look of the jars lol. Thanks @sorted food for trying it the right (as a spread) compared to so many youtubre videos where they try it on a spoon ... and of course can't appreciate it properly or give a proper analysis of the product.
1:59 I’m not a fan of Masala Thums Up/Soda but I like the Nimbooz as it is. Also, we used to have a brand called LMN (Lime Cordial meets Soft Drink) that was just brilliant.
Thank you for keeping the 7-Up challenge in the video. I was almost crying from laughter 😂
I was unaware Japanese Kit Kats came in flavours like "Steak", "Bacon" and "Chorizo" to appeal to the Spaff demographic
Please try the German Vitam-R, it's also a yeast extract but way smoother and creamier. I'd strongly recommend it as a followup! Also with butter, and preferably cheese on toast.
I was wondering if you guys could do a electric tea kettle and maybe other appliances care episode. How do you clean them since you can't wash it in the sink and other items like that maybe a coffee machine and other basic kitchen equipment. ( Especially a tea kettle one for people who don't live in the UK that don't have as much experience with one )
Just stir a couple of tablespoons of citric acid (powdered) into recently boiled water in your kettle and leave it for 30-60 mins. It will disolve limescale better than practically anything. The fact it is a safe cooking ingredient, means that you don't have to do anything other than rinse it out. You can repeat the treatments as needed. The outside can just be wiped down. I've cleaned my kettles/water heaters like this for years.
Blows my mind that 2 foodies and chef that run a youtube channel have never tried vegemite. It's been my go to for 10+ years now. Buttered toast with a smear of vegemite is elite; even Jamie might enjoy it.
Barry eats a Kitkat the way I eat it. Except that after the sides, I go layer by layer.
Same that is the only correct way
The ONLY way to eat a KitKat!
have you tried ferrero duplo? much easier to eat with this technique.
Kit Kat has always been a favorite for me. On the west coast of America Kit Kat and Coffee was a huge thing over here and still is quite popular.
In Switzerland, our "marmite" is called "cenovis" and you either love or hate it (I love it).
Interesting!
In Australia, cenovis is a kind of multivitamin tablet range lol
@@nikijade8317 Really interesting to know, thanks for sharing that.
As an Australian, Vegemite is the best. It is ideal on hot generously buttered toast, that's my goto remedy for when I have an upset stomach. But also just because it's yummy. Vegemite also works well as a seasoning for the lack of a better word. I add it to beef stews, in my version of a meat ragu for pasta, cottage pie, etc. I'm not a fan of it with cheese, but it is wonderful on toast with avocado and pepper.
Jamie: Breaks KitKat
Barry: *Weird noises that I have yet to decipher*
Pretty sure that was the sound of part of Barry’s soul dying
I’m an American who uses marmite or Vegemite mainly to add umami to stews, but if I’m wanting a nice savory spread to eat as the primary flavor, it has to be Vegemite. The texture, taste, everything just more what I need.
Considering how much Ireland uses 7UP when we're sick, it's kind of funny that made Barry throw up a bit. It's definitely way too fizzy to chug.
Yes, but it has to be FLAT 7-up! 🇮🇪
Wow, the Irish are posh! In the UK (or at least my house) it was always flat own brand lemonade.
I can tell you guys are in a cool climate because you can touch the chocolate and not make a mess! Down Under, I freeze it, then eat it from the wrapper and put it on a plate between bites, otherwise the chocolate melts and gets everywhere.
@ 8:06 jamie lost his composure at the words do do lol
I was waiting for someone else to comment this lol 😂
I really like this format, it's really interesting to hear the comparison. On thing that I'm surprised that you didn't mention about original flavor Kit Kats is that the filling between the wafers is made of ground up, rejected Kit Kats.
For the real story of Vegemite you have to read Terry Pratchett’s The Last Continent 😂
Fantastic comment! No worries, No worries 🦘
She'll be right. No worries.
No worries indeed. Btw, they got Nanny Ogg's Cookbook as a Christmas present. I'm looking forward to a video covering the book, perhaps?
@DizzyBusy I would absolutely LOVE that!
@@DizzyBusy That is great video idea. I want see that 😄
More of these please it was really fun!
Lmao! You know it's going to be a fun video when it leads off with Barry going for it that quickly.
So Ben was right about the gift culture for kit kats in japan, but it actually has to do less with limited editions as far as time but more location! When traveling it is typical to return with Omiyage or souvenirs for family and friends and these tend to be local delicacies, there is a whole market surrounding this culture. Kit Kats have capitalized by having their flavours localized to specific prefectures, cities, and even train stations!
