17:51 - THE RESULTS - บันเทิง
I was very surprised that you didn't get ahold of an American Mars bar. Then I found out they were discontinued a long time ago. Then brought back. Then discontinued within a year. Then brought back. Then dropped. I feel old. It was in essence but not precisely what are sold as Snickers Almond bars. It was my favorite, back when I ate candy bars.
The most recent version of the American Mars most resembled the Almond Snickers Bar.
I loved the USA Mars bars.
How funny they kept coming and then going! Did your original Mars bar look like our Mars bar? Hopefully you enjoy the Almond snickers even though it's not quite the same
wish we could have tried one
@@ThisWithThem The bar itself more or less did, the four bars (Three Musketeers, Milky Way, Snickers and Mars) were all made the same size as the others at any particular period and looked identical until bitten. The wrapper was not the same logo as UK Mars Bar. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it had the color scheme that Snickers Almond now has. The main difference between the two is that Mars had whole almonds while Snickers Almond has fragments. I don't eat candy bars routinely, any particular year I am most likely only to have whatever is left undistributed after Halloween is through.
The filling on the American Milky Way may have more air whipped into it.
There used to be something called a Mars Bar in the U.S.. It was like a Snickers with almonds instead of peanuts. It was discontinued in 2002, and in 2003 it was reintroduced with the name Snickers Almond.
The Three Musketeers bar originally had three flavors in one package: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. They eliminated all but the chocolate because of sugar shortages during World War II.
There used to be a lot more brands of candy bar in the U.S. than there are now. One of my favorites was the Milkshake bar (like a Milky Way but with malt flavoring). It was discontinued decades ago. I also liked the O'Henry bar (like a Snickers with fudge inside).
I used to love Milkshake...haven't thought of that in probably 40 years!
I always thought the nougat in the Mars bar always tasted different from the Snickers. I liked the Mars bar much better than the almond snickers.
I was just about to talk about the American version of a Mars bar, as I remember it as a kid.
How funny they brought it back as the Snickers Almond!!
I wonder if they will bring back all 3 flavours for a special anniversary?! That would be cool!
Oooo that Milkshake bar sounds amazing! I love that malt flavour. That O'Henry bar sounds delicious too! Shame they're not around anymore
It sounds delicious 😋
Now watching your show down videos makes me want to try the UK variations of candy bars.
The reason why they stopped making all three flavors of the 3 musketeers bar. Rationing of sugar began during the war in 1942 and it became too expensive to continue producing all three flavors. Since chocolate was the favorite by popular demand, Mars only continued to produce the chocolate flavor.
I wonder if they would ever consider making it for a one of celebration or anniversary!
Several years ago I learned that the standard pack of British Starburst candy still contained a lime flavor (I seem to remember the original Starburst pack in America had lime in the 80s?) and also contained a red currant flavor. Loving lime candy flavor and Starburst, I ordered British Starburst from Amazon. I was rather disappointed to discover that the British Starburst are more muted in flavor (and color) as well as having a bit of a grainy texture. I found the American Starburst to be far better.
Yes you're right. We have the lime and is yours now apple? Ahh that's a shame. They have really cracked down over here about not using as much sugar and trying to use mostly natural flavours & colours as possible so that probably changed the flavour and texture!?
@@ThisWithThem It was our lime Skittles that were replaced by green apple in 2013, but lime triumphantly returned (green apple removed) in 2021, dates per Google Search. Google also confirmed for me that lime was removed from our Starburst in the early 80s and replaced by cherry. I believe that lime remained available at least for periods of time in alternate flavor variety packs of both Starburst and Skittles. Our long-term standard Starburst flavor line-up is cherry, strawberry, orange and lemon.
Love your videos. Thank you for beeing you. You are my inspiration. You have made my day ❤
Thank you so much! Such a lovely comment ❤️
I think you should absolutely add UK candy that are the same name or same combination as an USA one. It would be a fun family activity comparing the bars! Edit adding about frozen candy bars, I freeze the small snack bars and have 1 while washing dishes at night...it takes longer to eat and satisfies my craving!
Really awesome to hear this!! Will definitely consider putting it in now! Love that! I need to freeze more of mine now!
Hey Kate and Alex always love your videos!
I had a chocolate bar in England years ago that I don't remember the name of it was very light and seemed to be aerated with small holes through out. It was simple but yummy. Any thoughts of what it was? I also liked one I think was called Flake because it was flaky am I remembering that correctly? Now I need chocolate!
😋✌️💖
I'm guessing Aero...?
Hey!!! Yes I belive you'll be talking about our Aero bars! We now have lots of different flavours but you probably just had the milk one. Other than that you could have had a Cadbury Wispa bar! They're kind of the same but even smaller little aerated bubbles! So delicious
I wanna try the UK milky way. I used to love 3 musketeers but they just taste differently lately. I do love the mars bar though
You must!!! They're soooo delicious 😋 Yeah a Mars bar is soo good too
I have always loved a 3 Musketeers but after having a Milky Way from a candy box, I fell in love with the UK version.
Yaaaay so happy to hear you enjoyed our Milky Way!! ❤️
Love those showdowns ! Thank you very much. Kate and Alex lots of love!!!!
Thank you so much Cristina! ❤️ Lots of love to you too 🥰
The reason 3 Musketeer their got rid of the strawberry and vanilla flavor was because rationing during WW2
I live in Colorado but i am from Manitoba, Canada originally. I was visiting my family recently and brought back kit kats, smarties and aero bars. Was so happy to have a good kit kat again. Sooo different.
So nice when you can enjoy your favourite chocolate bars from home
Our Mars and Snickers here in Canada are the same as yours. We do have 3 Musketeers here too. Mars is one of my favourites and so is the 3 Musketeers.
How funny! Where does it say your Mars bar is made? Funny you get 3 Musketeers too. Canada seems to get UK items and US too!
@@ThisWithThem Ours have been made in Newmarket Ontario since 1987. That's about 2 hours away from me. Newmarket is north of Toronto.
Mars bars are so good, that and caramilk are in my top 5 easily. For value though we have a bar here called the titan bar sold at dollarama and it's similar to a mars but with peanuts and you get essentially 4 bars for a little over a dollar....so...yeah.
They're just so delicious aren't they!! Oh wow that makes a difference! Here in our Uk supermarkets there are some own brand versions and I don't taste much of a difference so sometime gets them too!!
LOVE this idea!! Highly recommending you both do a video trying a variety of random and bizarre food combinations:
a few popular in the US:
1) Nacho doritos, original cheetos, and harvest cheddar SunChips dipped in whipped cream cheese
2) Broiled/roasted bell peppers stuffed with peanut butter
3) Roasted turkey or grilled chicken dipped in cranberry honey mustard, or mango chutney, or applesauce
4) English muffin toasted with marshmallow fluff and two reeses peanut butter cups slightly melted
Where are these popular?! I’ve never heard of these combinations.
oh wow!!! These are such good ideas! I also think number 4 sounds absolutely fantastic. Have you tried these yet?
Loved the video as always guys, years ago our UK Milky way was also more choclatey and malty rather than white in the middle and I much preferred that. I don't like the updated version. You are prob far too young to remember that being much younger and less dusty than me 😂😂😂 xx
Thank you Helen!! Do you know what, I did only just say the other week about how white the inside was!! So maybe I have a vague memory from the old version with them being darker. Haha less dusty 😂 never heard that before, so funny xxx
Have you tried the smooth Snickers, with smooth/creamy peanut butter in it instead of actual peanuts? I love them!
ooooo I'm not sure we have but that sounds fantastic!! I will definitely be on the look out for that next time we are in the US
@@ThisWithThem I get them in France. I need to get some morewhen I go out shopping tomorrow
I really want to try the UK Milky Way now! I had no idea!
If you have a Cost Plus World Market near you, look there - I found some there a couple months ago.
It's sooo good!!
Nothing beats a snickers. 😋
such a good classic isn't it!!
We sometimes get strawberry 3 Musketeers for Valentine’s Day. I think I’ve had them🤔but it has been a while
ooooo what a good idea to bring the strawberry back for Valentines!!
🇨🇦Love Snickers they are so good😋MillyWay i’ve never tried it before🇨🇦Mars this one my favourite one🏆 The other two never heard that before🇨🇦 when he was 🇨🇦coming to Canada 🇨🇦going to Vancouver 🇨🇦BC 🇨🇦Canada 🇨🇦beautiful🇨🇦
Such good chocolate bars! You'll have to try the others
@@ThisWithThem Love Snickers can I send you guys a card?
What’s different s between British Candy 🍫 & United States
Surprisingly it can be quite a lot some times we are finding
@@ThisWithThem I guess so be so sweet sugary
❤Kate’s t shirts
repping Buc-ee's! ❤️
America has milky way bars.
We tried the US Milky way 😃
I believe that you had a king sized snickers
I did think it was pretty large!!
Im Australian i think u could send a Mars to Americans but we get mars bars in Australia
Ahhh good thinking!! I didn't think about Australia and I think also Canada having Mars bars! Maybe I could do something else for countries that get them!
As a proud half-Canuck half-Brit, UK has won every round in every video!
Don’t know what videos you’ve been watching but that absolutely isn’t true. Unless you just mean your personal opinion.
❤️❤️❤️
I rarely eat a 3 Musketeers bar, but I am always surprised how much I like it. Hey Kate, when are you going to have a baby? When you do, give us a look. I'll be as proud as Uncle Alex.
Maybe she isn’t… that’s such a rude question! 😳
And I just un
I'm on the American side all the way and I will never change that
American win wether y'all say it or not
I'm American and when I went to England I discovered British chocolates rock! 😋
Yaaay love to hear this! ❤️🥰
I just unsubscribe for not choosing American
how CRINGE
see ya!
I'm not a hater or anything I just get offended by comparing place to place I was subscribed for a really long time since when y'all tested American items the first time.
Sorry to see you go 👋🏻 but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we never disrespect anyones food! If you watch the other snack showdown episodes some of the American bars win. You win some and lose some!
