Have you tried any of these? What is your favorite?
Hi
Raspberry truffles are to die for
You need to try ripples ,galaxy counters midget gems malteasers , malteaser bunnies, smartie bar .
I’m from the U.K. and love all the snacks that you have tried. You need to do a British crisp sandwich. This is where you put crisps between two buttered slices of bread. They are the bomb and was my favourite way to eat crisps as a child x
Oh my gosh! We will try this!
Easter Eggs are hugely popular in the UK. You will find several aisles devoted to hundreds of different types. Cadbury will make an Easter egg in all of their chocolate bars as well as many other unique types. Cadbury cream eggs are very traditional for Easter but there are also galaxy eggs and many many others. You will probably be quite shocked to see just how many chocolate eggs are bought in the UK at Easter. They tend to be much larger than the eggs I have seen sold In the states and are normally presented in boxes filled with smaller treats.
Yip and they usually start appearing on the shelves in early January
We do have regular skittles too. We don’t have grape flavour usually, you will find purple sweets are normally blackcurrant.
Thank you! Black currant is so different and we don't see it here
I love This With Them. 😃 I can't wait to see what is coming next.
Us too! We really enjoy them so much! Just nice people putting out nice little videos. We are very excited for our next box!
Fun fact:Rolos, Kitkat and Starburst are all British inventions that are now made around the world by non British companies. The original name for Starburst in the UK was Opal fruits.
WOW! Thank you so much for all of your information. This is great!
Snickers too.
@@RichardBarclay You mean Marathon. 😉
To add to that you mentioned m&ms in the video those are supposedly based off our smarties, the story goes that during the Spanish civil war this guy Forrest Mars noticed that the soldiers had these little candy coated chocolates as part of their rations and was impressed, partly because they were a good little snack but also that the sugar shell preserved the chocolate and stopped it from melting, he has an idea.
So he goes back to the states and teams with a guy from hershey to make his own version and sells it exclusively to the us military, and so for the duration of World War 2 American troops had m&ms just like the soldiers in the Spanish civil war had their smarties. After the war the returning troops still wanted those little chocolate things so Forrest started selling m&ms to the general public and yeah the restis history
@@RichardBarclay don't forget the Twix, or was that just sold in Britain first, either way we had it a year before America
Whenever i see you with a box of British snacks about to taste test I’m as excited as you two. Also I can’t watch these vids without having an assortment of snacks of my own because I have a craving when watching them.
Hi Cassie! That is so sweet! Thank you! We do the same thing. Watch some of our favorite food youtubers while we eat our dinner. It's like having company for dinner :)
I love it when you eat the bar labelled Fudge,then ask what it is...ummm it is Fudge!
LOL. I know! I had never seen fudge in a candy bar before. I didn't know if it meant fudge covered or on the inside. We loved this box and have another on the way! Thank you!
@@loveandjunkfood I heard that in the US your fudge is normally chocolate flavour and brown, right? In the UK fudge is normally vanilla flavour and a much lighter brown/beige colour.
@@loveandjunkfood Generally you can`t go wrong with anything made by Cadburys. Flake and Crunchy bars are Amazing but Nestl`e Munchie`s are a winner too. If you get a chance, get a Bar of Cadburys fruit and nut, you will fight over it. Lol. Best wishes from the UK.
I like this vid, I like this couple, subscribed! And yes our crisps and chocolate are mostly that good
Thank you so much! We can not wait for our next box to get here! YUM!
So I noticed that you said you thought he was going to pick grape Skittles. No sweets in the UK are ever grape flavour. The purple ones are always blackcurrant, and probably the most popular flavour over here. In general. The blackcurrant berries are really tart, a tiny hit of something at least as tart as lemon, but concentrated into a tiny berry. As children, we used to pick and eat them from our garden. We did the same for gooseberries, and they are just as tart. Guess the UK has a lot of tart fruit lol. Ok, so I paused the video, going to watch the rest now. Great video so far by the way.
Thank you so much!!! I love a good pucker. I didn't know what the flavor was but everything we had, we just loved! We just received another box from the UK to review so look for that one soon. We love the feedback. Thanks so much for watching!
Percy Pig do grape flavour - the sheep from 'Percy Pig and Pals'.
The fudge bar is often given to children. The adverts always used to say 'a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat'.
How sweet!
And now I've got the whole damn song stuck in my head!!!
It's full of Cadbury goodness and very small and neat...
Loved your video. I like Kate and Alex (ThisWith Them) too and get their British Candy Boxes
Thank you so much! They are great, we really enjoy watching them!
Congratulations! You are probably the first person ever to dunk a Wotsit in tea.
Btw,, looking at all the food reaction videos around, I don’t think it will be long until Lays bring Prawn Cocktail to the US.
I can't believe he did that! He was being silly! New box just arrived and will be giving tea another try!
@@DrDaveW That would be amazing! We absolutely love them!
Loved watching you guys trying our sweets/ Candy's if you liked the flake you should try a twirl or a ripple or another nice chocolate bar is areo 🤤🤤 x
Thank you so much! I hope we can try it all! An awesome viewer box will be out later this week!
Hello found you from Kates Instagram. Nice unboxing and taste test
That is so sweet! Thank you, we adore them!
The UK have very strict rules on what can and can not be put into food and sweets(candy) Cornsyrup is banned for example and if you read the back of each packet you will see a list of how much fat etc is inside.
Also when you look at the ingredients list anything that can be an issue with people's allergy's is printed in bold and The words contains nuts are very clear.
A certain UK chef who will remain nameless has just got the UK Govt. to put a sugar tax on Pop (soda) which mean that a can of normal coke costs more then a can of diet coke.
Lol I’d put my hands up and say a lot of his recipes are very average to what you can expect from a big chef in my opinion but I praise him for going to government for things like this because when I was in school the food went from just pizza and chips every day to lots of different types of soups and more exciting healthier things in a year, plus the price of a dinner ticket wasn’t too high as well. I brought in a packed lunch a lot because as much as I loved pizza I couldn’t eat it everyday for lunch
Yea he'll remain nameless that damn Jamie Oliver, but we won't mention Jamie Oliver by name🙃
Tyrells vegetable crisps are really good, too. Beetroot and parsnip amazing
I like coffee in the morning and tea after lunch. Strong black Yorkshire tea with a little milk is awesome.
Jelly tots slogan is love them lots like jelly tots x
I love that! So cute!
You always surprise me when you say you don’t have certain flavours over there because I always imagine you have everything going in the states lol. Xxx❤️😘😍🇬🇧
That flake bar, you can get smaller versions of them. They are commonly used to put in ice cream cornets, what you would call cones. Typically using vanilla ice cream, we call them 99's. Another thing you can do is crumble any flake bar over a bowl of ice cream. That's really lush.
Most British people if drinking Earl Grey would not have milk in it. Tea we have milk in would be what we call "Builders" Tea. A strong black tea with no extra flavours or oils (such as Earl Grey as these can cause the milk to curdle) and then add Milk and/or sugar to taste. In many places a variant on this would be called English Breakfast Tea, but we rarely call it that.
We just received our second box, will try again! Thank you!
Try Earl grey with a slice of lemon ... .. defiantly NO milk....
You both need to take a trip to the uk 🇬🇧 have a holiday . I like 40 minutes away from the cadburys factory where you can buy tickets and have a look around some parks of the factory 🏭 x
Yes we get Cadbury creme eggs but they are only on sale for a limited amount of time each year, we also get the Caramel mini eggs, Oreo, reeses, milky bar (white chocolate), & probably have more which I can’t think of. My favourite is Crunchie I also love Fry’s Turkish Delight which is a required taste (rose flavoured jelly covered in chocolate yum. Xxx❤️🇬🇧😍😘
We have ridiculous amounts of sweets, chocolate and snacks in the UK. Biscuits too. Munchies are lovely. They come in a mint flavour too.
Munchies are good but 20 years ago they were insane.... somethings changed
A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat, a finger of fudge is just enough until it’s time to eat, it’s full of Cadbury goodness but very small and sweet, a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat 😂 it’s amazing how adverts stick in your head, that one was from the 70s. God I’m getting old…
Can’t wait for them to review your box
Thank you Julia! This was a great box and we can not wait to try the next one!
I think you have most of my favourite treats this is why iam cuddly lol
We absolutely loved this box. Another one is on the way with different treats!
Vimto is a fizzy drink from Northern England. The chew you have is the same flavour and is a secret blend of many herbs and fruits.
It is also a squash (concentrated fruit cordial).
I presume you don’t put the price on packaging because each state has a different tax amount. Hershey chocolate contains butyric acid in it which has the same taste profile as vomit apparently. I don’t like the texture of Hershey’s as it has the feel of a Lego brick.
Explains why hershies kisses taste sour to me..
The reason there’s a price on the packaging and not usually like that in the US is because different states add different amounts of taxes whereas in the UK tax is solid and already added on to everything so it’s the one price across the UK.
Yes, that makes sense!
Love you lots like jelly tots lol.
Also we do have creme eggs over here in the UK and they use to be lovely but they changed the recipe when a new company bought cadburys and the cadburys creme egg is horrible now.
Oh no! I have heard that people liked them better before. I wonder if they will change the recipe
Hi from London! 👋🏻 Have you tried Marmite? It's delicious on toast with generous amount of butter. 😍
Hi to you!!! Not yet, but it is on the list! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
@@loveandjunkfood You're most welcome. When you do get round to trying it I would highly suggest not to add too much! Not a layer but a patchy light spread lol. I'm thinking of both of your taste buds! It's very strong. 🤣
Hi guys! xx I'd like to see your reaction to British adverts for the sweets/candies you've been eating and enjoying. Another thing you might enjoy are our Major food store Christmas adverts. The USA does not do these 'minifilms'. Some stores to search for are M&S (Marks and Spencer), Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Tesco, Lidl and Aldi. Laura have a tissue to hand.
Cadburys sold the rights to Herseys to manufacture their brands in the US. However, the recipes are different and it amazes me to watch videos like this, where Americans prefer UK chocolate over there own 😊
We have REALLY been enjoying these boxes! Thank you so much!
I think you would be on 7th heaven if you visited our confectionary shops. Your eyes would pop out 😀.
We have lemon, mint, orange, cookies & cream, strawberry, peanut butter, Ruby chocolate (pink) we have just got two new flavours Honeycomb & Hazelnut. Not all the flavours hang around long if they aren’t popular but the main ones orange & mint. Xx❤️😍😘🇬🇧
Sounds really fun to randomly try from another
Country
It is super fun! We always learn a lot! Still learning of course!
Walkers did Brussels Sprouts crisps a few Christmas's ago. I loved them
Munchies are good, but I love the Mint Munchies even more :D Aww I'd love to send you some of my faves and some retro / unusual ones!
The Crisps - Prawn cocktail is my fave of those. Then the Tyrrells, then the Wotsits and cheese and onion would be joint last place.
The sweets - None of them would be my go-to absolute faves I'd pick in a shop, but would pick the minstrels as number one, maybe munchies, flake and mint kitkat 2nd. the fudge would be last, not a fan. (The middle is actually called fudge, proper fudge pieces are better. very sweet though).
Was actually curious how you made your tea, as seen/heard so many horrors haha! Do you have a kettle?
My fave tea at the mo is called Lady Grey - it is black tea with a slight citrus-y hint of orange - so good! Ceylon is also nice as it's again quite a nice refreshing tea. My mum doesn't drink tea with sugar but I have to have it in mine haha
We are going to do a video (following a youtube video) about making a proper cup of tea. Right now we use a plug in water pot to boil the water. Laura really loves citrus tea!
@@loveandjunkfood I'm going to post the snacks tomorrow I got for you to try, I was shocked how expensive it would be so I'm sending them in 2 smaller parcels as it works out cheaper than one big one and will be sent with the slower shipping so they may take a bit if time to get to you, but hopefully not too long. Let me know when you get them so I know they've got to you all ok x
The significant difference between British and American chocolate is the milk used in its manufacture. It's fresh in the UK whilst, due to the greater distances between manufacturing and farm in the US, the milk's life has to be artificially extended. Apparently that makes American-made chocolate less "creamier" and fresh tasting.
In uk and never seen giant skittles, must be really new.
Vimto is a type of juice but the bars come in lots of flavour.
The fudge advertisement used to be “ a finger of fudge is just enough “ that’s why it’s small, just like enough for a small treat, they are sold along with the larger bars, the price is on things so the shop can’t make the price up ( more expensive then should be )
Wotsits come in other flavours, I think maybe bbq? I’ve only ever had original though. Cheese and onion is the most popular flavour in the U.K. for crisps.
To answer your question if they sent you the best we have. Not really, they are good snacks but the are all run of the mill and could fill the box 5/6/7x over with snacks just as good.
The tyrrels are just “ fancy “ which is why the packet is nicer 😂.
Fancy!!! Yes, a word we use too. Thank you so very much for that information. We are really loving these boxes and can't wait to see what comes next!
The purple skittles in the UK are Blackcurrant flavour we rarely have anything grape flavour unless its wine lol
We don't get anything black currant flavor that I am aware of. Thank you so much!
That is the way flakes are meant to be. We eat ours in the UK by putting it in the top of a vanilla ice cream cone and we call that a 99.
They are so great! We don't have anything with that kind of texture here. Can't wait to have another!
British person here; out of that selection, my favourites are the Crunchie and the cheesy Wotsits :)
Oh my gosh! Both, so good!
You want to try english breakfast tea or yorkshire tea you dont have milk with earl grey tea
Thank you, we have so much to learn! That is the fun part for us, you letting us us know these kind of things. So fun! We can't wait for our next box to arrive!
Yorkshire tea, the only thing to get me through a tough day of teaching science to feral 11-16 year old kids lol
@@loveandjunkfood British Tea Basics.
Tea comes in various forms, but 'breakfast' Tea is what 99.9% of brits drink all the time, very few people drink grey or green tea.
To make a proper brtish cup of tea (Gordon Ramsay voice), put one tea bag in a large mug, not a little tea cup, were not having tea with the queen. Pour BOILING water onto the tea bag and stir, it's important to make sure your water is really boiling well or your tea will come out weak, do not allow any cold milk or water to wet your tea before the hot water goes in, leave to 'brew' for 1 or 2 minutes, squeze the teabag aginst the side of the mug with a spoon and remove it from the tea. Then add milk and sugar to taste, up to two tea spoons of sugar is common, some people drink tea without sugar. Builders and workmen often use two teabags and brew their tea longer, so it looks almost orange once milk is added.
Yes we have Cadbury cream eggs here. Acquired taste for some Brits as they are sweet but one of my personal favourite treats!
We didn't think we liked them for years and now one of our favorites! They are very sweet so it's a once in a while treat but we do really love them! Thanks for sharing!
Probably the worst Cadbury along with crunchers imo dairy milk caramel will knock your socks off
It was a good selection. I haven't had fruit pastilles in years but used to get them as a treat when I was a kid, so you used to try to savour every one. And we pronounce it pastel, like the paint, we're not fancy.
Fudge bars were a favourite as a kid too, the jingle was "a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat" and are small so kids don't spoil their appetite. Or that's how they sold them to us anyway.
Americans always love prawn cocktail crisps too, I guess because its an unfamiliar flavour. When I was young crisps were either
Ready salted
Cheese & onion or
Salt and vinegar
and that was it, then they started doing prawn cocktail and frazzles ('bacon' flavour).
Its funny how taste and cultural food norms independently evolve innit?
Thank you for those answers! This box was amazing! Can't wait for the next one. I will be dreaming of all of those crisps...So dang good!
Flakes have been around for so long. They are one of the oldest chocolate bars and are often served in a soft serve ice cream cone and are called a 99.
That sounds amazing!
Im a Brit and I’d definitely say that British snacks beat American snacks😂 I’m glad you liked the crisps though we do have the best selection of them. Although I do wish we had flaming hot Cheetos here because they are great. And the blue raspberry tootsie frooties are my fave American candy.
Late on the viewing of this one. Did you know Tyrell crisps are top of the range ones? Also, on the back of the packet it actually tells you the variety of potato used and where it was grown!!
Most people do not buy individual bars of chocolate as they work out much more expensive. Every bar type is sold in a multipack that are usually 4 or 5 individually wrapped in an outer wrapping. Each brand also offers fun size multipack sizes of each type and a small selection box of minis such as Cadbury heroes or Mars Celebrations. They are all mini versions of different chocolate bars. My favourite chocolate bars are Cadbury Wispa, cadbury boost bar, cadbury star bar, Cadbury fruit and Nut and Cadbury old Jamaica.
Thank you so much for sharing! I feel like we just barely scratched the surface of all of the wonderful treats from the UK! Can't wait for the next box.
Kitkat in the UK comes in mint, mint dark, orange, cockies and cream, peanut butter, salted caramel, lotus biscoff, lemon drizzle and Ruby cocoa. I am sure there are other limited editions I have missed but these I can think of off the top of my head. I have read recently that there are new flavours of gingerbread, honeycomb and chocolate hazelnut but I haven't tried them.
Oh wow! I think that I would like most of those!
There used to be a dark chocolate kitkat
Really enjoyed watching this video. I like most of the Crisps, Sweets and Chocolate (haven't tried the mint kitkat though - I think its limited edition for Christmas). What you may be interested in is that our supermarkets in the UK: Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi, Waitrose, M&S Food do their own line of food (non food products also). I rarely buy brands. For example the supermarkets will have their own version of Wotsits at a cheaper price. I got the impression that grocery stores in the US just carry brands. Is that right? Sorry if I am wrong. The only exemption I know of is the Target Up and Up line. I have subscribed. I like your channel. Looking forward to more videos.
Wow! Thank you so much for watching and for the comment. We filmed our second box today so watch for that to come out here soon! Welcome to the family!
@@loveandjunkfood Oh yes I will look out for it. Thanks for making it. ...... A very random question I know but how do you boil water? In the UK we use electric kettles that you plug in the wall. They are as common as ovens over here. Just discovered that they are very uncommon in the US. I am very intrigued by it. Have you heard of electric kettles before?
Yes, we have electric kettles. We use one at home all the time. Mostly for French press coffee. They are all over here but I think a lot of people still use a cooktop kettle. Also, for your previous question, we do have many store brands in the States. Our Walmart brand (Asda in UK) is Great Value. Other stores have their own knock-offs as well. We typically buy the store brands except if it is for a video. One of our favorite crisps is from Canada. Their Great Value brand had a Chargrilled Chicken crisp that was amazing! We have a video on that if you're interested!
@@loveandjunkfood Thank you for replying to me again. You must think I am so odd asking such a random question. Sorry if you think I am rude. I get a very limited view of America by other vloggers. I went to LA in 2018 but it was very brief. I mainly went to tourist attractions. I so want to go back to America. Maybe a road trip. Thanks for clarifying information on both kettles and the food. The Canadian crisps sound good. I will definetly check out that video soon. As its around Christmas, its a UK Christmas staple to have Christmas Crackers. We put them on our dining tables next to our plates and we pull them togther as a family with crossed arms just before we eat. Its a group activity we look forward to (2020 has changed that of course. Not meeting family in the same way. Going to be weird). There is party hat, a notourisly bad joke/factoid and a toy inside. Thanks again. Happy/Merry Christmas 🎄🎉😀🔔🎈
Point of note for the chew bars; Vimpto, Wham, Refresher whatever to break bend slowly 90 degrees then jerk it back straight quickly, it will snap ^^
We have regular skittles, no grape, it’s blackcurrant, would love to try grape flavours, you have so many different sweets than us, Jelly tots are a childhood favourite. Kate and Alex have sent you a great selection. I don’t like tea, it’s a coffee for me. Can you suck a pastille with out chewing it🤣 we pronounce it ‘pas tell . we don’t get many cherry or grape flavour sweets in the UK.
Welcome to our amazing food,even the snacks are lovely.
Harry Potter chose to be born English for many reasons,our sweets right near the top.
So good! We filmed a holiday box from the UK today that will go up soon! We have now done 4 British boxes and fall in love with something every single time. Thanks for watching!
We do have a couple of different kitkats I know there’s a cookies and cream one .. fudge is the last on my list lol
Crumble a Flake on top of a bowl of ice cream. It's sold in our McDonald's sometimes
My favourite crisps are walkers prawn cocktail or spicy flavour monster munch!
Golden Wonder is a very od brand that has been around a long time. Walkers is by far the most popular crisps brand in the UK. You should try Worcester Sauce flavour and Marmite flavour. My favourite crisps of all time are Scampi Fries. They are a corn snack shaped like a pillow and covered in a scampi and lemon flavouring that is unlike any other crisps flavour I have tried. They are dangerously good as the flavour is intense.
Oh wow! Thank you for sharing! That all sounds amazing! Can not wait to see what we get next time! Worcester sauce we use a lot in cooking so I'm sure that we would love those too!
Best golden wonder crisps are discos and frisps
Cadbury fugde is normally sold as a single bar. Its much cheaper than others and as kid I remember getting them for 10p (getting old). Was good when as a kid you had limited money. Unsure of current price. You can buy things like Crunchie or Double Decker in multipacks of 4.
Thank you! That's so great! We usually see little fruity candies or hard candy that is sold very inexpensively like that, I wish it was chocolate. We do have little machines that we put coins in and get a little treat like m&ms or something like that though.
42.30 favs Cheese and Onion Crisps for savoury. Anything Cadbury for chocolate esp Crunchie and Fruit Pastils for fruit candy
Thank you for your comment! We loved those cheese and onion crisps!
Mint and orange is much more commonly used in chocolate bars in the uk than in the States. You would probably like a mint aero.
Oh my gosh! We did a Canadian video and we tried Aero and REALLY liked it. I mentioned in that video that I wondered if Aero came in mint because I thought that texture would be perfect! Eek! Excited. Going to try to see about ordering some!
Aero mint comes in a bar type and also in round chocolate balls in a pouch bag.
Wotsits used to only be cheese flavour but over the past few years they have started to branch out. ive had a beef flavour wotsit and a flaming hot flavour one.
Fudge is chocolate covered fudge. They come individually, in packs and in Heroes, alongside Flake, Crunchie and others.
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed it!
Rowntrees was another very old UK brand, which made KitKat, Smarties, Rollo and Munchies etc and bought out by Nesle back in the 80s.
Oh really? Thank you for sharing that!
I will surprise you now by saying I don't find Flake messy. The reason is that when you grow up eating them you learn a precise way to eat them easily with no mess. It usually involves tipping the remaining crumbs into your mouth through the packet. If I had to buy any of that here in the UK I'd opt for prawn cocktail crisps and a Flake. Munchies and Minstrels would be my next choice. I'm not a fan of chewy sweets.
You are correct! We are surprised lol! I liked the Flake bar so very much. I will have to see about getting some more and trying again!
Great way of eating a Flake is with vanilla ice cream, bash the Flake with a rolling pin and sprinkle into the ice cream and mix together....delicious.
Finger of fudge can be sold separate or I mini family bag size. The market for them is really more for children. That's why they are small.
I love crisps but prefer kettle style the best. I have also had everything you have in the box. Anything you think is grape flavour is Blackcurrant flavour, we don't have grape flavour.
Thank you so much for the comment. We are filming another box from the UK today! Welcome to the family!
The ultimate question is.
Can you put a fruit pastille in your mouth with out chewing it 😄
lol. good question!
@@loveandjunkfood if you try it good luck, I've never manged it and I've tried a few times, but sooner or later I always end up chewing
Wotsits come in regular size or giant size. Cheese is the traditional flavour followed by flaming hot and I think sizzling steak. They used to sell prawn cocktail Wotsits which were the most amazing snack ever but sadly they were discontinued. No idea why as everyone I know loved them.
Thank you so much! I want to eat those Wotsits, they sound amazing! I wish they would sell those again because we would order those for sure!
@@loveandjunkfood very late to the party, but prawn cocktail wotsits are back!
Yes wotsits u can get 2 more flavours .. we get Cheetos too lol have u tried skips ?? They are prawn cocktail skips the melt in your mouth... walkers crisps and golden wonder normally come in cheese and onion, salt and vinegar, prawn cocktail,ready salted (plain) and marmite flavour, chicken ,Worcestershire sauce and at Christmas we even get a Brussel sprout flavour and lamb and mint Sauce the list goes on lol
McCoy does a variety of including Thai chili and what's also coming beef flavour walkers does a sensation and that is mango and sweet
There were a series of Flake adverts in the 80s which basically sold the idea that women could indulge in this chocolate and that they loved it so much that they didn't care that it make bits everywhere. For example, a woman is in a rowing boat, eating a flake. The oars fall into the water and she now has no way to control the boat but she just lies down in the boat and enjoys the flake. Hence, she doesn't care because she's enjoying the flake so much. Similar one with a bath that is overflowing, but she doesn't care, she just lets it overflow while she eats the chocolate. Very memorable adverts that put across the message well. Also, it used to be called, 'The crumbliest, flakiest milk chocolate in the world.' But they stopped advertising the 'world' part. I'm guessing another crumbly chocolate company complained lol
Oh wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Here in the UK we have lots of variations on just plain milk chocolate. Wispa, Flake, Dairy Milk, Twirl, Spira (now discontinued), Chocolate Buttons. All essentially the same chocolate just with different forms and textures.
My favourite was Praline Flakes, sadly no longer available.
Bring back Spira!
I forgot about spira oh the childhood memories thanks dude 👍
Fudge bars would go into a school pupils lunchbox, hence the small size.
Oh how sweet! Thank you!
We have the RRP (recommended retail price) on alot of snacks when the company want to promote a reduced price and get people to try/retry. The reason it doesn't happen in the US is your tax rates vary state to state somiys not practical to do.
Re fudge is sold singular in the tiny bars but they Re usually only 10-15pence and not the 85p-£1 of the bigger bars.
Oh wow, thank you! Good to know. The tax issue completely makes sense although we do have some items with the msrp (manufactures suggested retail price) but it is not that common here at all. Thanks for watching!
We have Skittles Shots here to. They get you very drunk!
WHAT???!!! WOW!
british made confectionary (chocolate and candy ) does not contain lots of chemicals and be over sugared,as for cadburys it will taste superior to US chocolate. however cadburys is now owned by a us company(mondelez) and its not the same taste as it was once.walkers is just english made Lays but on the whole we do have good chocolate which is mass produced and there are similar types in the states but they will not taste the same i guess we are spoilt a bit.
Thank you so much for sharing. We are really enjoying these boxes and trying it all!
Cheese and onion is a classic British sandwich
We have Creme Eggs, caramel eggs, Screme Eggs, Goo Heads, Creme Egg Twisted, mini Creme Eggs and mini caramel eggs, all very popular.
Thank you so much! I will have to look up screme eggs, we don't have those here (I dont think)
@@loveandjunkfood They're like Creme Eggs but the yolk is a different colour and flavor.
Mint kitkat my favourite 😍
They are so good! We loved this whole box and have another one on the way!
@@loveandjunkfood sounds good looking forward to watching 😊
No no no peanut butter kitkats are the best and been voted as the best
Galaxy chocolate is called Dove apparently in America. If you ask for Dove in the UK, you will be disappointed because Dove is a brand of soap and beauty bar in the UK.
LOL! I wouldn't want to eat that!
i cant believe you were not sent a mars bar, its like the best ever
Hopefully, it will come in a future box!
@@loveandjunkfood my wife and i are just making a list of what we will include in the box we send you,you sent us your address just before christmas i think. will you record it when you try them for us? thanks
matt
The flake is sold line that but I'd say mainly eaten when it comes in ice cream from ice cream vans.
We have to get another one and try that! Thank you!
Guys it's crisps not chips. Chips in the UK is what you refer to as French fried. Walkers is the best.
Old habits are sure hard to break!
Omg if u love crips with flavour u should get disco crips omg
Like lots of flavour
We have a flake stuck in an ice cream with a cone and smothered in syrup
What??? Can you put one of those in an envelope for us? LOL Seriously sounds amazing!
Flake is best served with a vanilla ice cream cone and known as a 99 in the uk
Red is almost always strawberry, orange is orange, yellow is lemon, green is lime, and purple is blackcurrant. You almost never get any apple flavour sweets/candy. Sad really, I prefer that to lime.
Thank you so much! Apple is not very common here but shows up more in the Fall.
The fruit pastels the ad is u got to suck it with out chewing lol no one can lol that’s why it said that on the packet .. jelly tots normally we buy those for the kiddies lol
Golden Wonder crisps used to be the market leader until Walkers came along which is a pity because I've always found Golden Wonder to be more flavourful. Wotsits as far as I'm aware only come in cheesy or beef flavour. We're not allowed to put artificial colours or additives in our products only flavourings so they then to be more sedate colour wise. I find a lot of US crisps/chips look like they've come out of a nuclear reactor.
LOL! Yes on the American Chips! We just loved all of these chips and can't wait for our next box to arrive! Thank you so much!
The flake was discovered by accident when a worker noticed the run off to the milk chocolate machine was curling up, setting and having to be cut off thus the flake was born.
WOW, really? So cool! Thank you for that info! We love learning new things from these boxes. Thank you so much!
Twirls are the better version basically a flake wrapped in choc
You have a very small selection there, they are our 'bog standards' 😂
Good thing we have another box that just arrived. Hoping that we get all new things!
Minstrels are made with milk chocolate
Glad to see you two loved the treats, in Britain we call them sweets but can I just say the first thing I saw was your awful tea you had it was just milky water you should have your tea much stronger than that try Yorkshire tea if you can get it. ( then again you may like your tea really weak!) take care both of you.
Thank you lol! I ( Laura ) don't drink hot beverages much. When I do, it is usually light. I actually couldn't believe that Jon put milk in his as he is a black coffee drinker so I assumed that he would have preferred his tea with no milk as well. Live and learn! Our next box just arrived and we will be filming that in a couple of days and will try the tea thing again!
@@loveandjunkfood I shall look out for that. x
Wotsits also come in flaming hot flavour.
And once upon a time, bacon flavour.
There’s also sizzling steak flavour
its prounouced “fruit pas-tles” :))
You thought a bar called "Fudge" would be biscuit? ..Don't you have fudge over there? 😂🤦🏻♂️
Haha! I'm not sure what exactly what we said in this but we have learned a LOT in the 3 years since this video was put out. Our sweet UK subscribers have sent us so many amazing things. We absolutely have fallen in love with the snacks and sweets from the UK. Thanks for watching!
@loveandjunkfood Thanks for trying our delicious confectionary 😜🤤 ..I hope you have some Quality Streets ready for Christmas 🍬🎄🎅
