First i find out that Montana WMs' makeup selection is much worse than average, and now i learn we dont get the crappy store brand choclate here either 😂 i just buy the $1.25-2 mini packs of fun size bars, I cannot eat chocolate responsibly, and my GI system would prefer I stop altogether...
As someone who has been making Twix for 30 years in Cleveland, Tennessee, thank you for pointing out that they’re made here. Buy American-made whenever possible!
You've literally been helping to make one of my favourite candy bars for as long as I've been alive. For that, I thank you. It's entirely possible, and even probable, that I've eaten a Twix made by you.
Interestingly, and bizarrely, the filling between the wafers in Kit-kats is... Kit-kats. Their factory seconds get ground up, whole, into a chocolatey paste and are then used to fill the Kit-kats.
I've eaten three different ones of these and I will buy the Great Value ones. The difference isn't great enough to me to pay 2 dollars more. They are like 78 cents in my area.
I’ve only had the Great Value “snickers” and they really aren’t that bad. Plus they are larger than the actual Snickers bar. A king size is not quite two full size bars.
@@jstoeck784 I had them all when I saw them... they really arent bad at all. The chocolate is different, but not like cheap easter candy which can be really bad (I'm talking about you Palmer). Nice substitute for the current economy.
The Great Value KitKat probably tastes the way the KitKat used to before Nestle changed their chocolate recipe and everything tastes like it has honey in it now.
I worked for the Walmart company for 20yrs. The thing you should know about the GV brand is that every 5yrs ot so the contract to make the product is up again, so on the bidding of the contract it will ALWAYS go to the lowest bidder.
If those were the Nestle KitKat according to the logo then they were made in Canada with Nestle chocolate. In the US KitKat is made with Hersey Chocolate. The Canadian KitKat does taste different
In my pre to early teens, I used to put a Milky Way in the freezer, then cut into bite sized pieces. Eating those with the old school yellow can Pringles with a glass of milk was salted chocolate caramel heaven. Back before salted caramel was a crazed fad. Snickers in high school electronics class, we’d eat the chocolate, then the nugget, then the caramel and peanuts. Blessed memories.
I don't like the full size Twix... the small ones though are great. I also don't really care for snickers but a snickers Ice cream bar is fantastic. Best thing I stumbled upon was milky way midnight ice cream bar... I found it twice years ago at two different rat hole convenience stores. It was delicious, I asked about it and they said the delivery guy had a carton that none of the other stores would take so they did. Apparently it isn't a consistently available item in my area. Just ends up here on accident.
My husband drives truck for a company that distributes candy to Walmart, etc. Sometimes when they have things sent back he gets to bring stuff home. He brought those great value 3 musketeers and I almost threw them away. You had to chew them so long that it hurt my jaw. Furthest thing from pillowy goodness.
The GV three musketeer's is the only one that is horrible the others are pretty good I actually like the kit Kat and twix knock offs better. Plus you need to try the chocolate bars they taste like dove chocolate to me
I think the biggest difference between these is that the name-brand bars are fresher than the Walmart ones. let's face it, Wally-World keeps most things in storage for t least 6 months before shipping them to stores. That's how they save money.
maintaining storage space is expensive. keeping a warehouse full of candy bars is in no way going to make things cheaper then shipping them out as soon as possible.
I can't comment on what our Distribution Centers do, but the Walmart I work at barely has enough space for the day's pallets. We definitely do not have space to keep candy bars around for 6 months.
I think you're right. The nougat gets stale faster than caramel and chocolate. Since NOBODY buys budget chocolate it sits on the shelf forever. Hence the Milky Way and the Three Musketeers copies being a lot worse then the other copies/originals.
Actually Walmart saves money by keeping as little product as possible in storage so it constantly has to order and ship product at the last possible minute.
I do like the spicy sausage, but I got a VERY bad package once (opened the package and the smell that came out made rotting flesh seem pleasant by comparison) and got turned off to them for awhile. 🤢🤮
I feel the same way about the name brand Milky Way bar. That and the other one will all that fluff in the center, Three Musketeers. Yup, door stop or paperweight.
I haven't had a milky way in a zillion years but it was always my absolute numero uno favorite, specially that dark milky way, gd oh man so good. If they taste off now, imma be pissed.
I've noticed a difference in taste between the king size bars and the regular size bars. I think the ratio of caramel to nougat is higher in the king size bars. The regular ones seem to have much less caramel, and thinner chocolate on top.
Milky Way used to be my fav but then naw. Something changed. But then companies are always changing the recipes and always to the worse. Remember when Totino's pizza rolls changed the recipe, yuck. We went to the store brand and then the store brand was yuck. Well, the budget doesn't allow for pizza rolls so ok.
Actually donuts from the bakery section of walmart are pretty good. Since I like just plain old donuts with nothing on them. No sugar just fried dough. Whoever makes them at our Walmart knows how to make them for sure.
I feel like they should have been cut into same -size pieces cause the GV ones are so much bigger! Also, I bought some Kit Kats for Halloween and they tasted bad! Not at all the same. Good job Matt!
Hi Matt I love all your episodes. For Bless your rank, could you try different flavors of Oreo Cookies? So many these days, could be a fun one. Thanks buddy! 🍻
We just got the new cosmic ones (I think that's what they're called). They taste just like a regular oreo except after the bite, you get the popping candy sensation. Kind of cool actually.
Soda pop is getting so expensive you should do a comparison video on that. Who knows, maybe Dr. Thunder will pull off a miraculous upset. NCAA basketball Cinderella season *is* right around the corner
@@janettamcgee8124 Dr Pepper knockoffs are probably the most accurate because the ingredient that makes it taste that way is just a chemical they can all get access to. Dr Thunder ain't bad. Still not exact when they're fresh enough tho
Like Cola. Pepsi, Coke, Big K, Winn Dixie brand, Publix brand & Walmart are all slightly different from each other. Doesn't mean they're bad. Like the candy bars they taste a little different. I just enjoy the savings
To me, many brands can make a good tasting pop,(soda for you weirdos :P). The issue I find with the lower quality brands is that they seem to have too much carbonation on first open. Then shortly after, they have too little carbonation. That then makes the taste feel slightly off
I wasn't expecting a new upload in this series, but here we are! And I'm here for it. I will tell you a GV category I pick to win...potato chips. They nail potato chips based on the price difference
Best chips I ever had are Golden Flake. They are a true southern chip made in Alabama. There aren't many places that sell them but I can find them at my local small town grocery store and also sometimes at Dollar General if they're not sold out.
@@JohnThomas-tb5kd Almost, but I'm afraid I watched WML here on TH-cam during the pandemic. I find a lot of those old shows are a whole lot more fun than what's on TV today. Glad someone caught the reference!
Thank you. I was.just looking at the GV candy bars whwn I was food shopping the other day and was curious. Bought Brand, so thank you for saving my money and my tastebuds!
Great Video Matt!! Loved your comments when you picked up the great value 3 Musketeers bar! "feels like a hair brush!" all those candy bars are top favs.
I don't know Matt... I used to work in a pork and bean factory. The ONLY difference in the 3 different 'brands' we shipped was the label. I know this for an absolute fact. The colorful glossy label brand at that time sold 3 cans for a dollar. The colorful matt finish label sold 4 cans for a dollar. The white label with simple black letters sold 5 cans for a dollar. ABSOLUTELY the exact same product inside.
My boss used to work at a factory that knitted clothing. The finely-tuned machines ran at a certain speed... until Wal-Mart placed orders. In that case, the machines would be sped up (to match the huge orders). Thus, quality and quality control would be sacrificed. This is why you'll often hear "I hear Great Value is made in the same factory as...." because the items ARE. But quality is sacrificed
No. I did this with my kids and they ended up in the trash. Edit: after watching the video, we agreed that the GV Twix was the most acceptable, but my kids said they’d eat broccoli over them! And I’m so glad there’s another 3 musketeers fan!!!! I love them! Always my favorite.
I'm wondering about the little Drbbie honey bun reference. That's all they had at Family Dollar, no regular ones, and the Debbie ones were chemically and gross, even if heated up.
Might want to let your graphics department know the logo they used for KitKat was the Nestle version, which is typical for most countries. But, in the US, KitKat is made and sold by Hershey's. So, unless your KitKat was also imported from Turkey, then you had a Hershey's brand KitKat.
Ingredients: milk chocolate (sugar cocoa butter, chocolate liquor dry milk, sunflower lecithin, salt, artificial vanilla flavor ), wheat flour, vegetable (palm oil) shortening, more sugar, more dry milk, lactose, more dry milk, whey, cocoa powder potato starch, more sunflower lecithin, soy lecithin , baking soda, more artificial vanilla flavor , salt. That is the ingredients for the Walmart version of Kit Kat. Indeed, it says Distributed by Walmart, Bentonville (or whatever), AR 72716. Product of Turkey. I agree that we should support making things in the USA again.
The only Great Value candy bar I've had is the plain chocolate bar. It was cheap chocolate for sure but I liked it. The stuff between the wafers in KitKat is ground up KitKat bars.
My favorite WAS alwats the Butterfinger. Until a few years ago when they changed it. A lot of consumers git involved with that. Did they ever change it back?
Oh yeah, they ruined the heck out of Butterfinger! But Dollar General is carrying 5th Avenue bars now and they are still as great as ever. If you liked old school Butterfinger, then give 5th Avenue a try.
Matt- did you actually have a Nestle KitKat or the standard american version? That may be why the taste was off on the kit Kat if you had the UK version.
For some crazy reason, I like the other flavor KitKat bars better than the regular. Matt, have you tried different pop-tart brands? I like many of the off brands better than the Pop-Tart brand.
I agree fully with your closing: if you're saving money to splurge on crap, you're still getting crap, just buy the smaller size. Or go for the family/party pack.
It's sad that since the old man died, Walmart has been selling less and less American-made stuff. Walmart used to be an American company through and through.
When will this stop being chewy, when can I swallow this safely? I can't answer the first part of the question but I am fairly sure that the answer to the second part of the question is never.
Damn, how do I report a sponsorship for spam? So damn tired of seeing Draftkings EVERYWHERE. I've blocked them so many times and they just have more accounts. It's on all of my podcasts. It's on the damn RADIO. JUST MAKE IT STOP.
Thank you for the video! I completely agree with the points made about the increasing prevalence of anger in the US. Despite its problems, growing up in the US, I didn't perceive as much anger as I do today, I earn over $370000 in investment.
I'm not surprised because my wife and I started so little with just $2000. I was skeptical about investing but fortunately now I regret not starting bigger.
9:20 I saw the Great Value candy bars and wanted to try the Kit-Kat. The chocolate was fine, but it almost tasted like dark chocolate. And the wafers were too prevalent. The candy in between the wafers? Undetectable.
Are they the originals, though? Companies have been using cheaper and cheaper ingredients lately to maximize profits, so a lot of packaged foods don’t taste like they used to.

Pretty new I didn't know until this week when I saw them.

One of my favorite candy facts.
So how was the first KitKat made?
You would like the tater tot story when they first made them from french fry scraps
This is very Soylent Green. 🟢

I’ve only had the Great Value “snickers” and they really aren’t that bad. Plus they are larger than the actual Snickers bar. A king size is not quite two full size bars.
A HUGE thing to consider is the price. It is 60% of the price of the brand name bars and goes 90% of the way there on texture/taste
@@jstoeck784 I had them all when I saw them... they really arent bad at all. The chocolate is different, but not like cheap easter candy which can be really bad (I'm talking about you Palmer). Nice substitute for the current economy.
@@georgeburgmeyer7274you speak absolute truth on Palmer. Forget chocolate, it’s barely even food!
The Great Value KitKat probably tastes the way the KitKat used to before Nestle changed their chocolate recipe and everything tastes like it has honey in it now.
I know the secret to that. You'd bury it right away, if you knew the truth.
In the US Hershey makes em so that could be the reason
Canada sells Nestle Kitkat that taste drastically different than the US kitkat which is made with Hershey Chocolate.
I live in Japan, where I daily mourn the lack of Twix, 3 Musketeers, and Reese’s, but my one consolation is that KitKats are considerably better here.
Kit Kats used to be good. Never eat them now.
I worked for the Walmart company for 20yrs. The thing you should know about the GV brand is that every 5yrs ot so the contract to make the product is up again, so on the bidding of the contract it will ALWAYS go to the lowest bidder.
Unfortunately it's the same with military equipment.

I need to conduct my own comparison of these...ya know, for the integrity of the ranking.
Please report your findings.
Most like the name brand to least like the name brand. KitKat, 3 Musketeers, Twix, MilkyWay then Snickers.
A double-blind research comparison 😂
Your sacrifice will be appreciated.
Integrity is important
Like the Braves, you did really well right up until the end.

I do same with snickers! My kids make fun of me! I pull nutty buddy's apart too😂
@@jewel65 You gotta pull the nutty buddies apart
Who didn't?
In Canada we get the Turkish versions of many of these brand name bars at our version of Dollar General, Dollarama.
The Great Value Twix-knockoff says "product of Turkey" on the back of the wrapper, so those are probably the same thing.
The dollarama versions are AWFUL!!
I felt in my soul what you said about the “bite” on the Twix 😂 It can’t be duplicated.
Absolutely. I rarely even eat Twix, but that soft caramel setting you gently into the cookie is THE thing.
Absolutely correct. Twix is the worst candy bar in the world so there is no need to duplicate the disgustingness.
@@mt_navyviking Boo hisss. d
Twix are the king of candy bars in my opinion. Chocolate, caramel, and a crispy cookie? Sign me up!
I don't like the full size Twix... the small ones though are great. I also don't really care for snickers but a snickers Ice cream bar is fantastic.

The more you know. :)
Cookie cannibalism…
I have noticed a difference between the Nestle Kit Kat and the Hershey Kit Kat. That may be what you are tasting.

He brought those great value 3 musketeers and I almost threw them away. You had to chew them so long that it hurt my jaw. Furthest thing from pillowy goodness.
That's the only GV one I've tried was terrible
Perhaps you could cut them into smaller pieces and melt them down on top of warm brownies just after they get out of the oven.🤔

I think I'll run down this morning and get a Great Value "Milky Way." I need a new door stop.
I feel the same way about the name brand Milky Way bar. That and the other one will all that fluff in the center, Three Musketeers. Yup, door stop or paperweight.
I don’t play around with my chocolate - I will NEVER buy an off-brand Milky Way … Good job, Matt! (I love your videos!)
Haven't watched yet, but I already know it's going to be the BEST candy bar ranking video EVER!
Milky Way has tasted off for several years now.
I haven't had a milky way in a zillion years but it was always my absolute numero uno favorite, specially that dark milky way, gd oh man so good. If they taste off now, imma be pissed.
I've noticed a difference in taste between the king size bars and the regular size bars. I think the ratio of caramel to nougat is higher in the king size bars. The regular ones seem to have much less caramel, and thinner chocolate on top.
I give out Snickers to the little kids at Halloween, Milky Way and 3 Musketeers to the high school kids

We went to the store brand and then the store brand was yuck. Well, the budget doesn't allow for pizza rolls so ok.
‘member how good crunch bars were when they had the foil wrapper?
In Great Value's defense, they had a great showing in the donuts episode. Matt had me hankering for GV donuts out of curiosity.
Actually donuts from the bakery section of walmart are pretty good. Since I like just plain old donuts with nothing on them. No sugar just fried dough. Whoever makes them at our Walmart knows how to make them for sure.
Was it a left or right Twix?
Right twix bars don't exist.
Every twix I have I open it and eat the left Twix then flip it over and eat the other left Twix.

Hi Matt I love all your episodes. For Bless your rank, could you try different flavors of Oreo Cookies? So many these days, could be a fun one. Thanks buddy! 🍻
Yes! I get so tempted to buy some of the weird flavors, but I can not have too many cookies in the house so I end up sticking with original.
@@qwispery I'm the same way. One cookie = 1 box. 🤦♂️😄

3 musketeers super fan here too! My husband thinks it's weird. Lol he's a Snickers guy.
Years ago when I was a security guard at a refrigerated warehouse, I found out that Snickers are made in Waco Texas.
Nougat is made.....you know, no one seems to know....the matrix can't figure out how it should taste.
Soda pop is getting so expensive you should do a comparison video on that. Who knows, maybe Dr. Thunder will pull off a miraculous upset. NCAA basketball Cinderella season *is* right around the corner

I will tell you a GV category I pick to win...potato chips. They nail potato chips based on the price difference
Every GV potato chip bag I've bought has chips that were chips at one point....they're crumbs when I get them.
Not that hard to be better than Lay's. I grew up with the good chips and stock up when I go home to visit instead of ever buying Lay's.
GV flavored tortilla chips are the best IMO. We love the chili garlic, and I haven’t seen a name brand that makes anything close to it
Best chips I ever had are Golden Flake. They are a true southern chip made in Alabama. There aren't many places that sell them but I can find them at my local small town grocery store and also sometimes at Dollar General if they're not sold out.
In the cigar world, the mess up cigars are known as "Factory Smokes"... so it seems like Wallmart bought the rejected candy bar's! 😂
you gotta try the Aldi peanut butter cups
Aldi has the best chocolate candy anywhere. Can't be beat!
Aldi has their own brand?
I guess it is an Aldi brand, I haven't seen it anywhere else. They all seem to be good but they are not copycats of everyday brands. Give it a try.

The Kit Kat filling is actually ground up Kit Kats that fail QC in the plant
I’m going to check this out. I’ve had a gv regular chocolate bar & since I don’t eat that much candy, I actually enjoyed it
KitKat filling is just crushed up KitKat, so a thin paste of crushed wafers and chocolate.
Oh God, the audible *thunk* when he dropped that Great Value 3 Musketeers...!
So excited for a blind test!!
Great Video Matt!! Loved your comments when you picked up the great value 3 Musketeers bar! "feels like a hair brush!"
all those candy bars are top favs.
Supermarket KitKats tend to be interchangeable with actual KitKats. Very fun video!
FYI, the filling in a Kit Kat bar.... is Kit Kat bar. The damaged bars are ground up and used as the filing between the wafers.
KitKat is my all time favorite, but you have convinced me to at least give GV a chance on that one.
“Like a dorm mattress that’s nothing but springs…”
As someone watching this while sitting on their dorm mattress, I approve that message 😆

Oh yeah, they ruined the heck out of Butterfinger! But Dollar General is carrying 5th Avenue bars now and they are still as great as ever. If you liked old school Butterfinger, then give 5th Avenue a try.
@squirrelprincess3596 thanks, I will.
Have you ever put peanut butter on a 3Musketeers bar? If you haven't, try it now. You're welcome.
Matt- did you actually have a Nestle KitKat or the standard american version? That may be why the taste was off on the kit Kat if you had the UK version.
I love 3 Musketeers, too!!
For some crazy reason, I like the other flavor KitKat bars better than the regular.
Matt, have you tried different pop-tart brands? I like many of the off brands better than the Pop-Tart brand.
Question: could you rank different canned meat like cornbeef hash, hamburger, etc. Love your videos
I agree fully with your closing: if you're saving money to splurge on crap, you're still getting crap, just buy the smaller size. Or go for the family/party pack.
I might eat 1 candy bar a year. As such if I'm going to do so, I'm going to spend the money for the real deal.
That's nice and all Matt but why do you display the tokens of the enemy on the wall behind you?
Why is the Tide not more present?
Well...I'm waiting.
I absolutely adore Matt!
😂😂😂
Have you ranked hash browns? If not, you should
The great value thin mints are amazing too!
It's sad that since the old man died, Walmart has been selling less and less American-made stuff. Walmart used to be an American company through and through.
Matt should rank super market chocolate milk. Because I just fell in love with Wegmans chocolate milk, the one in the glass jar, that's why.
Ok but why are great value candy bars sm bigger 👀
When will this stop being chewy, when can I swallow this safely? I can't answer the first part of the question but I am fairly sure that the answer to the second part of the question is never.
The Greatest of Value!😂
This is the hard-hitting journalism that can make a real difference in my life
A BLIND TEST😮😮 the question the world needs answer too!!! Get ready for judgment
Not really a "blind" taste test when great value products he's eating are bigger than the name brand and it's easy to tell before trying
I've read that the substance between the KitKat wafers is kitkats that fell apart in the process of making them. Crushed and smeared between wafers.
GreatValue probably just filled it with nougat, because they just dump chocolate over imperfect candy
Do a girlscout cookie version compared to DG version. Pleeeeease.
DG Thin Mints are better.
Now i want to try the great value “kit kat”. I dont think they can fool me as that is one of my faves
Damn, how do I report a sponsorship for spam? So damn tired of seeing Draftkings EVERYWHERE. I've blocked them so many times and they just have more accounts. It's on all of my podcasts. It's on the damn RADIO. JUST MAKE IT STOP.
Have you already done Dollar General/Clover Valley candy bars to big brand?
Thank you for the video! I completely agree with the points made about the increasing prevalence of anger in the US. Despite its problems, growing up in the US, I didn't perceive as much anger as I do today, I earn over $370000 in investment.
Financial education is the key to unlock the door to wealth and a growth mindset is the golden ticket.
I'm not surprised because my wife and I started so little with just $2000. I was skeptical about investing but fortunately now I regret not starting bigger.
Larry Marshall is highly recommendable, having confirmed he's excellent track record after meeting he's at a seminar in United States
I'm new at this, please how can I reach Mr Larry Marshall?
Thanks so much
I heard kitkat uses kitkats as the filling between the wafers. (Off cuts and damaged ones to reduce food waste.)
When you need to get your 'Beetus on the cheap- Great Value Candy Bars.
Where's your water to cleans the palette between chocolate bars?
9:20 I saw the Great Value candy bars and wanted to try the Kit-Kat.
The chocolate was fine, but it almost tasted like dark chocolate. And the wafers were too prevalent. The candy in between the wafers? Undetectable.
air mattress comparison had me rollin!
Are they the originals, though? Companies have been using cheaper and cheaper ingredients lately to maximize profits, so a lot of packaged foods don’t taste like they used to.
I've been living abroad for the last 5 years, and I'm having a really hard time processing that even a king-size candy bar costs $2.50...
