The same dudes did just a McDonalds specific UK vs US TH-cam video and in that one they show all the ingredients in both. It really highlights the 'poison' in US food.
I've seen this it's worth a watch.
The US has some balls to say anyones food is bad .IVe been and my teeth near rotted and my belly not only was too small for their portions but it was always tasteless
I love the radioactive glow of USA Mcdonalds fries
Fries:
UK: "Potato, salt, oil..."
US: **rolls up sleeves and puts on reading glasses**
My friend, on holiday in the US, kept forgetting not to order the Large Coke, no ice. "I've got a bucket of coke, again!"
11:50 It‘s called Venti (20 in Italian) because it‘s twenty ounces. However, nobody in Italy (or Europe) has any idea what an ounce is, and anyone drinking a 600ml coffee would be declared insane in Italy.
This is a compilation of snippets from multiple videos, just focusing on size comparison. If you watch the full videos for each fast food restaurant, you get details on what ingredients are in each. They also include differences in the full menus showing what each country has which the other doesn't
it's just crazy, yall don't need the large of anything, the medium is plenty and matches a lot of the worlds large
It's surprising the steritype isn't even more accurate, i don't know how you could avoid getting fat if you eat fast food there, especially with less time off work to try and keep fit
Id need extra small there. I always have loads left over when i get food in the US. The in'n'out double double can feed a small family tbh even without the fries
You should check out the ingredients in the longer videos. The amount of ingredients in the American version was immense for chips🍟
Why was he struggling to find a word for a 3 foot long sandwich? It’s a yard for God’s sake. I thought Americans were supposed to be better at those sort of measurements than us.😂
They were also a bit out on the fluid measurements. I think most people are aware that UK gallons/quarts/pints are about 20% bigger than US ones. What not so many people know is that our fluid ounces are different too. In that case, the US fluid ounce is bigger by about 4%. Not only is a UK pint, 20 fluid ounces, but they are different sized fluid ounces. There’s only 19.215 US fluid ounces in a UK pint. So when they were comparing drinks in the UK and US saying they both come in 12, 16 and 20 ounces they’re not the same size, the US ones are still slightly bigger.
The US Domino’s pizza is made with bromide which is considered a toxin in the Uk and banned.
Actually, because of the relationship between diameter and area when it comes to circles, that 0.5 inch difference mounts up to more than you'd intuitively think it would. An 11.5 inch diameter pizza has an area of 103.37 square inches. A 12 inch diameter pizza has an area of 113.10 square inches. Americans are getting just under an extra slice's worth of pizza (assuming 8 slices as shown in the video).
He broke the 30 second rule!
I'm not really surprised by the quantity of food. A friend of mine went to Orlando in Florida and told me about the baskets of fries you could get for a dollar. It sounded like you can eat for a week on US portions.
While the Starbucks coffee might seem the same, the Customary system used in US is not the same as UK Imperial. Also in UK the drinks would be rounded up or down to the nearest 10ml because, like it or not, we have been using the metric system for 57 years!
20 fl oz in UK would be a pint, so just like a 'pint' of milk the Venti would be rounded down to 500ml, so our British guy did well to get 18oz tbf. The Venti in US however would be closer to 600ml or 1 pint 4oz in American Customary system.
I’ve seen these guys doing breakfast and burger reviews in London.Really entertaining to watch.
What they didn't say here is the US food contains so much more salt than here in the UK. Infact our fast food here in the UK has some of the lowest salt levels compared to the EU and Australia aswell.
Im always amazed at how huge the us small drink is. can i get an extra extra extra small?
Did anyone notice the UK BK drinks could all fit in the US BK Large, with little left in the UK drink cup
all the individual videos of comparisons themselves on foodwars will show ingredients
The whole BK friegate is a recurring theme when they’ve done Food Wars with other countries
I haven't had a Burger King meal in over 5 years. The stuff of theirs I like has just gotten really expensive for what it is.
Crap in a box 😅😅😅i like it !
The "Poison levels" you talk about, they've done that. And some of your contempoaries have reacted to it.
I enjoyed you saying ‘whopper’ in a British accent 😂
With the Dominos, remember that the size is the diameter. So, a 12" pizza has a 20% larger diameter than a 10" pizza, but that means an area of 157 square inches versus 79 square inches... which means the 12" pizza is actually double the size of the 10".
30 Oz coffee is insane. That's 1.5 pints. Who needs that much coffee?
3,7% smaller vs the quantity sold per day and you get your benefits. here of there, you still get'em.
They did another video about the comparative ingredients of UK vs US McDonalds
They’ve also done videos showing how many more additives there are in US food! The US McDonald’s fries are shocking!
In Canada we get a Bucket of Popcorn Chicken, it is like a 1/4 of the bucket sizes.
That was interesting- in that there were a few things that were the same! And Burger King fries - Uh-oh!
You should watch their McD's only video- they go into ingredients in that one, and frankly- we in the UK win!
I also checked on sizes/ prices after watching that video - and although you in the US get bigger portions, the cost per weight is roughly the same, so you don't get better value for money with your big portions.
Okay, a few comparisons from a kiwi.. I think Mcd's and BK have around the same size drinks, 12oz, 16oz and 22oz, which is halfway between the UK and US sizes.
With the fries, our small is the size of the UK small/medium, and medium and large look basically the same as the American. Except for the KFC ones, I'm not sure there but I think they'd be in between the two like the drinks.
As for the chicken I think we have the American sized buckets. People love KFC here. LOL
Our pizzas are generally the same size as the American ones, except we don't really have small or individual ones anymore(pretty sure Pizza Hut used to) just Large(14") and XL(16') sometimes they'll sell an XXL size "New York size" pizza that's 18". What they're selling in the UK is abysmal.
Not sure if we even have Starbucks here, but coffees most places generally come in regular or large, a regular is 8oz and a large is 12oz.
I remember being told a long time ago that in general, in fast food, you never get the medium. Either smal or large.
I don’t know if it’s just the Mandela effect but I swear we used to have the popcorn chicken box over here
Well, this video is making me really hungry 😂
i kinda want the 3 foot party sub here in the uk, thatll do me for a few days of food
When I went to New York,I thought I would try some fast food chains out to see if there was any difference in food portions. I was shocked by the huge difference. Even in Subway I had to tell them to stop with with the crazy amount of fillings. Every morning at the hotel,there would be a huge buffet,including chips/fries and so much more. It actually put me off my breakfast looking at so much crap first thing in the morning,when all I wanted was toast and maybe cereal. That’s when I realised why America has such a high obesity problem. And now it is growing in UK.People are so lazy going to fast foods regularly,not even having to do any walking,just sit on their big behinds and drive on through. It should be a treat now and again! Home cooking is the best and so healthy and easy to do!People of today have just become lazy gits. Mae’r Bwyd yn ofnadwy! Llawn o sbwriel,cachu! 🍟🍔💩😬🏴❤️🌎🇺🇸
I've never shared a 20 box of chicken nuggets in my life. Just as well I rarely go to McDonald's. I probably average about once a year.
You'd think, considering that the US is forty times larger than the UK, and with its densely populated cities, that they'd be stricter with their portion sizes. And yet, for most, theor smallest portions in the US were larger that the largest portion in the UK
🎉🎉🎉
Whose ounces are they using? UK or US.
I've not had any of this crud in 3 years. And for a while I missed it. Now I'm happy I don't miss it.
I call all this " fast diabetes " .......... Rather than fast food, food?? I wouldn't feed my dog this crap! 💩😆
Although I do partake in a mccafe once in a while 👍
The US small Burger Drink was larger than the UK large, Jesus
I could not eat all that huge food, after that massive drink I would have no room for food! feel sick ... been to Vegas and ate at just really nice restaurants so didn't see the diff, and McDonalds once but had just walked 4 miles so I would have eaten most of the menu I don't remember
That half inch difference on Dominos is deceptively large. The area of a 11.5inch pizza is 103square inches, the area of a 12 inch pizza is 113square inches. That's almost 10% difference.
I've seen the separate videos of theirs before, and one thing that gets me is how unappetizing the US's KFC looks. It looks like the kind of fried chicken you get a cheap independant place.
of all the fast foods i thinked I prefer pizza you more from it and feel that you have had something tasty and there are more ways to be healthier and more nutritional that burgers and chips
I just looked it up. There are 3 different sizes of fluid ounce, and the USA uses two of them.
I am going to go and have a quiet lie down.
I stopped eating fast food years ago.
me too, got a BK delivery just arriving.
Did homer simpson get his hogie from subway the one that makes him very poorly when he eats it.
Comments being deleted, why? 😕
I do enjoy pizza hut meat feast stuffed crust, but it is rare, may be three times per year. Fast food should not be a staple.
Yuk I Hate McDonalds 🤢
3 feet=1 metre
A 12" pizza is about 8.5% bigger than an 11.5" pizza.
Our foods have Les additives by law
yo
Ooh, I just looked it up - because our fluid ounces and US fluid ounces are different, when they measured them, they got the same amount. 18 British fl Oz is the same (roughly) as 17 US fl oz. That's a coincidence.
Hate KFC chips they are like slugs
So where is the video about food ?
