Honestly, seeing South Africans featured in these videos makes me so happy, we have such a wide range of cultures and seeing one of them represented made my day. If you ever need another South African, I volunteer!
I thought South Africans spoke Africaans I also started to learn this language... 🤔 I am really confused right now! Edit : I search it there is a lot of languages does all of them beeing used and if they do on what extent? 😁 Did I start to learn a new language which people don't speak anymore! 🤔😁 (that would be funny)

Also, we made you speak American because it’s better than you’re european language.
@@sliat1981 Afrikaans ya twat, don't confuse it with Dutch, German and French because there are way more European nationalities amongst them, heck my great grandmother was a Scottish Afrikaner.
Talia Reinstein I know a couple chantelles (although maybe some are Chanta/els), that are not Afrikaans! Also when you say french do you mean that, because ...stein is definitely German!

Hi everyone! Walter here! As for the "Macca's/ McDonald's" story, I have since then looked online and have found that there is not a lot of information on this topic. I actually heard this story a long time ago, and actually heard it recently from a very funny Australian comedian. My fault for not looking it up completely. I'm sure you will still rip into me anyways, but thought I'd clear it up! hehe! Stay safe everyone!
Hey, Walter! American here. I'm sure he explained this off camera, but John wasn't necessarily saying that Axe/Lynx smells bad; it's just that it has a really bad reputation here for being a body spray that 13-14 year old boys will absolutely drench themselves in to cover up unregulated body odor. Hope that clarifies that. P.S. I looked up the Axe equivalent to Lynx Africa, just for the hell of it, and we do have it under the name Axe Kilo.
Agree. Simba chips beat Walkers, Lays, Kettle, Monster Munch, Crinkle Cut and all the other chips hands down. No comparison! What a shame they havent really exported to other countries in a big way! (Probably coz they have MSG!)
When the axe body spray came up I had middle school flashbacks and I almost died a little when a kid came out of gym class smelling like he threw the whole Can on himself.
Good thing I was from a time where the spray didn't exist yet. Once it did, I already finished my physical education (P.E.) requirements. Fuck Axe Body Spray. Old Spice is tolerable but not the spray.
Neither. Smith's and Lay's are both owned by PepsiCo and have similar logos, so I'm pretty sure Smith's is basically Lay's pretending to be Australian.
@@Aw3some98 Thry used to make crinkle cuts too. Maybe still? There used to be cool Bravheart tazzos in them when I grew up. Before the whole Pokémon thing became popular.
Oh that makes sense. When scandal (starring Kerry Washington) aired world wide, in south Africa the name had to be changed to The Fixer because we already had a popular telenovela called scandal. Which still made sense, coz Olivia Pope fixes everything😄
Roy Hoeksema Yes - it applies to all the European stores. The European parent company is called TJX Europe but they are all branded as TK Maxx outside of the US.
McDonald's started in San Bernardino California by brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald in 1940. There's literally a film about it called The Founder. That Australia story is a local myth that was debunked long ago.
I am happy that I can look at this knowing exactly what you're talking about, I've seen the documentary and live close to where it first originated. The Founder was both about how it started and spread across the world.
I was about to say the same thing I’m like uh yea no it’s American originating in America in California my great grandma told me stories every time we went to McDonald’s. Good thing I checked to see if someone said it
Yeah I can't find any info on Bradman ever opening a Restaurant let alone something called Mcdonalds. I'm guessing some Aussie larrikin started the rumor as a joke (probably because his name was donald) and it carried on as most Myths do.. Maccas certainly started in the US and the people that started it got ripped off.
In Korea, it's Burger King, and Mcdonald. Usually we call it Mc-nal or just Mcdonald :) The chips are not very common in my country, might only can see at kind of "foreign chips shop". And we don't have Vodafone, the 3 biggest mobile companies are SKT, KT, LGT and you might heard from game team names like LOL :)
McDonald's was started in the USA . If I recall correctly it was originally a shake/soda shop started by Ray Crock, which turned into McDonald's when it became a chain.
This was super cool! I’ve seen a ton of videos and lists comparing words between the countries but never brand names, I didn’t know about any of these differences!

@@livingaschantelle2997 to be honest with you, about having your own national brands.

South Africa is not always late, we just have our own brands, we have a saying that 'local is lekker' which means that local is great or better. We only recently started get the American brands
We Australians call Burger King a hungry jacks is because as Walter said, when the hamburger franchise was about to grow rapidly, there was a Chinese restaurant called Burger King in WA. :)
@@roy_hks Yeah being Asian and owning a burger joint is different from owning a Chinese restaurant, whose purpose is to sell Chinese food. A pub close to my place - Shoeless Joe's is owned by a Korean family. Their menu is American/Canadian and the thing that is closest to Korean taste are duck wings in gochujung sauce. Ok hopefully this differentiation helped.
Yes. Same company. They gave the Aust franchisee a list of names currently registered to the company and from the list he chose 'Hungry Jack' which was for a pancake batter (flap jacks).
@@Krenisphia It's closer to a scone than a biscuit(UK) in appearance, but biscuits(US) and scones have a very different texture and flavor even if they look similar at a glance. And to make it more confusing, US scones are slightly different from UK scones. What I wouldn't give for an English scone with some clotted cream right now (you can't find clotted cream here in the US, it's not a thing here, and it's also very hard to find cream that hasn't been ultra-pasteurized which makes it difficult to make at home)
@@Krenisphia The British used to have a quickbread very much like a southern biscuit, and they called it a Bisket, Bizkit, or Bizket. Now its forgotten. And Americans used to call many cookies & crackers "biscuits" too. Nabisco is short for The National Biscuit Company. We do still have dog biscuits. And McVitie's now sells its digestive biscuits in the US, but here they're labelled "digestive cookies". Apparently many Americans find the word "digestive" off-putting.
John's description of Axe is perfect 😂 Axe actually got banned in my middle school bc the hallways always freaked and boys would go around spraying it in other kids' eyes
Lol garage. Another word they need to chat about and how to pronounce. That will be a lol moment for SA. Oh and chappie, dust bin, oh yes and it's not a cookie it's a biscuit..... lol
Living in the middle of the atlantic, some wholesales buy from US and some from UK. That's why we can go between stores and see both Lay's and Walker's or Axe and Lynx.
It’s TK Maxx in Australia. It’s a more recent addition to the Australian market (probably in the last 6-7yrs). TK Maxx replaced Trade Secret which was a very similar store but more focused on clothing
I really like this channel everyone seems to be having fun, the members seem to be friends with eachother so click well, and based on the comment section, know enough about their own countries that there aren't many complaints. 9/10
I worked at a TJ Maxx and in the US it is owned by TJX Companies (HomeGoods is also owned under this company heading). It's not necessarily a brand per say as the other are as the premise of the store is to receive overstock and unsold brand name goods from larger department stores and/or direct from brand websites. These new overstock goods are then sold from anywhere from 80% or lower the original retail price.
I almost died when the Aussie said McDonald's actually started there in Australia. No it started in 1940s with a small business owned by Richard McDonald. And expanded to a franchise around 1960. It made it's way to Australia in 1971. The discrepancy I think the Aussie is referring to is they wanted a more Australia sounding name and changed it to Macca. Which I think made McDonald's Corp upset.
They can't be too upset at it being shortened to Maccas, they have embraced it enough that they have trademarked the word Maccas. Have no idea what the Aussie guy was going on about saying that Maccas started in Australia either.
I'm from New Zealand and when we go Aussie I eat hungry jacks, they're so good ik they're supposed to be like burger king but ngl it taste better than burger king
When I was a young teenage girl I was obsessed with lynx Africa. I thought boys who wore it smelled so good. I bought one and sprayed it in my room I loved it so much. I tell you there’s something in that Lynx Africa
This is what these brands are called in Israel. Lays/Walkers: "Tapuchips" Burger King: Burger King (very unpopular tho, we only have 16 locations) Vodafone: we don't have it, our top communication companies are Bezeq, Hot, Cellcom and Partner McDonald's: McDonald's, no nickname TJ/TK Maxx: we don't have it Axe/Lynx: Axe
@@michaelau5159 Before moving to Korea I used to live VERY close to there (I would go out there drinking lots of beer). The spelling is very silly, but it it pronounced Wus-ter. The only people who say Wor-ses-ter are people not from the UK, who are reading it literally. Even the Scottish/Welsh say Wus-ter. The spelling is really stupid, it's just one of those things...
@THE TWO FINGERED BRUTE well, as someone from the Black Countries posh town of Stourbridge, your "taaan" is pronounced "Wooster" here in this neck of the woods, ya posh twat from woostersheer. Love you too fellow Brit.
In Australia, the TK Maxx shops we have now actually used to be called Trade Secret. I think it was only relatively recently (by that I mean last few years) that TJX bought out/acquired Trade Secret and changed them into the TK Maxx brand.
For those who don't know: Vodacom is a company that was started in South Africa in 1994 as a 50/50 partnership between Telkom and vodafone, and - along with MTN - was one of the first mobile netework operators in the country. In 2008, Vodafone took over the majority of the company and they rebranded a few years later with the logo, but not the name.
There's also French Fries and Samboy which are still around. One upon a time, Australia had Lays (best flavour from them were barbecue) and, before that, Ruffles and Colvan.
I always have myself just sitting on the edge of my seat hoping someone doesn’t steal the Australian words for things as I wait for it to get to him at the end of the table
Hungry Jack's Pty Ltd. is an Australian fast-food franchise of the Burger King Corporation. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Competitive Foods Australia, a privately held company owned by Jack Cowin. Hungry Jack's owns and operates or sub-licenses all of the Burger King/Hungry Jack's restaurants in Australia.
In South Africa Lays crisps(chips) are made by Simba Chips and when I went to Australia I saw that Lays was made by Smiths. Another interesting one was that in South Africa Dairy Maid ice cream is part of Nestlé and in Australia it is made by Peters. Also what we have in South Africa as Ola ice cream was made by someone else, it may even have been the old Walls brand but I can't remember now
In my middle school many of the boys and girls knew Axe as a shower in a can, because they didn't shower, but they would basically shower in Axe body spray

South Africa is not always late, we just have our own brands, we have a saying that 'local is lekker' which means that local is great or better. We only recently started get the American brands
Agreed
We Australians call Burger King a hungry jacks is because as Walter said, when the hamburger franchise was about to grow rapidly, there was a Chinese restaurant called Burger King in WA. :)
It was a burger joint in Adelaide, mate. Not a Chinese joint in WA.
why would they call a chinese place burger king 😂😂
Cora Halverson Most ‘snackbars’ (burger/fries joints) in the Netherlands are owned by Asians so u never know
I don't even know why the guy gave you a heart because sounded fishy from the jump lol
@@roy_hks Yeah being Asian and owning a burger joint is different from owning a Chinese restaurant, whose purpose is to sell Chinese food. A pub close to my place - Shoeless Joe's is owned by a Korean family. Their menu is American/Canadian and the thing that is closest to Korean taste are duck wings in gochujung sauce. Ok hopefully this differentiation helped.
5:00 Fun Fact: Hungry Jack is brand of Dry Goods here in the US.
They mostly make pancake batter and biscuits
Fun fact: What the US call biscuits, the UK and AUS call scones.
And what the UK / AUS call biscuits, the US call cookies.
Yes. Same company. They gave the Aust franchisee a list of names currently registered to the company and from the list he chose 'Hungry Jack' which was for a pancake batter (flap jacks).
@@Krenisphia It's closer to a scone than a biscuit(UK) in appearance, but biscuits(US) and scones have a very different texture and flavor even if they look similar at a glance. And to make it more confusing, US scones are slightly different from UK scones.
What I wouldn't give for an English scone with some clotted cream right now (you can't find clotted cream here in the US, it's not a thing here, and it's also very hard to find cream that hasn't been ultra-pasteurized which makes it difficult to make at home)
@@Krenisphia
The British used to have a quickbread very much like a southern biscuit, and they called it a Bisket, Bizkit, or Bizket. Now its forgotten. And Americans used to call many cookies & crackers "biscuits" too. Nabisco is short for The National Biscuit Company. We do still have dog biscuits. And McVitie's now sells its digestive biscuits in the US, but here they're labelled "digestive cookies". Apparently many Americans find the word "digestive" off-putting.
Steers in SA I’m pulling up it closed down in Kenya and I miss it so much
John's description of Axe is perfect 😂 Axe actually got banned in my middle school bc the hallways always freaked and boys would go around spraying it in other kids' eyes
Wait what about Lay's salt and vinegar?
BRUH THEY'RE LITERALLY GONE? Not even the garage has them? I'm shoook
Lol garage. Another word they need to chat about and how to pronounce. That will be a lol moment for SA. Oh and chappie, dust bin, oh yes and it's not a cookie it's a biscuit..... lol
Who remembers this: MTN everywhere you go.
Along with glo and etisalat.
There is more but i can't remember them😞
Thecla Okwara Hoekom het hulle dit rooi en wit geverf? 😂😂
why is walter my favourite person, it must be the Aussie bias
He does seem a great guy
Love south Africa, that country is so developed,
Yellow Kirby thank you! Us South Africans love our country so much as well❣️
Thank you❤
Most developed in Africa
Thank you
In area it's a big-ass country too.
Why is it that whenever I see John, I expect him to talk in an English accent and whenever I see Sam I expect him to talk in an American accent??
Living in the middle of the atlantic, some wholesales buy from US and some from UK. That's why we can go between stores and see both Lay's and Walker's or Axe and Lynx.
I though she was going to mention 'Simba Chips' 😭but awesome video nonetheless 😁🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
There's even a song for them
Simba chips do they have a lion flavour?
@@rods6405 no but they have a lion in the cover
@@rods6405 lion flavour???
Ok I get it simba lion in the movie lion king
McCafé started in Australia tho. The first location was in Melbourne :)
eilana40 Most McCafe’s are being removed in Europe cuz nobody likes them tho
Roy Hoeksema They’re a big thing here in Australia. Pretty decent coffee most of the time too
Jack Cowan opened the first Hungry Jacks in Perth in 1971. I went to the second store to open in Australia that year
It’s TK Maxx in Australia. It’s a more recent addition to the Australian market (probably in the last 6-7yrs). TK Maxx replaced Trade Secret which was a very similar store but more focused on clothing
I forget that Axe used to be called Ego. Props to Chantelle for remembering.
I love how korean people are always so surprised when you tell them something
I like the British guy, he acknowledges regional differences and isn't just stereotypical "posh" Hugh Grant OTT "British accent" guy.
My scottish self got mad at the british flag for england but ill be quiete
I just realised our Australian Hungry Jacks is actually Burger King... Mind blown 😂
A bit like how Australia's "Holden" car maker was derived from "Vauxhall" in the UK in the 1960's ;)
@@TomGB-81 And how both are derivatives of Germany's Opel brand.
Really? They used to have Burger King cardboard crowns and other merchandise with Burger King on there
I really like this channel everyone seems to be having fun, the members seem to be friends with eachother so click well, and based on the comment section, know enough about their own countries that there aren't many complaints. 9/10
I worked at a TJ Maxx and in the US it is owned by TJX Companies (HomeGoods is also owned under this company heading). It's not necessarily a brand per say as the other are as the premise of the store is to receive overstock and unsold brand name goods from larger department stores and/or direct from brand websites. These new overstock goods are then sold from anywhere from 80% or lower the original retail price.
English Sam❤.. Does he has his own youtube channel? I would love to follow it....
I m so happy for this video, have been waiting for so long.
I'm from Australia and we do indeed have T.K Maxx here. THere's one at DFO (One of our Queensland shopping districts)
Nobody - one in West Ipswich as well 🙂
i’m just here for british sam and australian walter being buddies and campaigning for lynx rights
I almost died when the Aussie said McDonald's actually started there in Australia. No it started in 1940s with a small business owned by Richard McDonald. And expanded to a franchise around 1960. It made it's way to Australia in 1971. The discrepancy I think the Aussie is referring to is they wanted a more Australia sounding name and changed it to Macca. Which I think made McDonald's Corp upset.
Yes you CANT take our McDonald’s away from us! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😂😂😂 my precious
Honestly I would be happy to give Australia credit for McDonalds, take it, and maybe take credit for justin bieber while you are at it.
They can't be too upset at it being shortened to Maccas, they have embraced it enough that they have trademarked the word Maccas. Have no idea what the Aussie guy was going on about saying that Maccas started in Australia either.
You do realise that he said he wasn't sure and that he was talking about a different franchise?!
I'm from New Zealand and when we go Aussie I eat hungry jacks, they're so good ik they're supposed to be like burger king but ngl it taste better than burger king
I needed google to tell me that hungry jacks is our burger king
When i lived in South Africa, i used Cell C due to the cheap price.
It's no longer cheap😭
😭😭😭😭
I used to use it for the WhatsApp data plan😂😂
Now I use MTN
When I was a young teenage girl I was obsessed with lynx Africa. I thought boys who wore it smelled so good. I bought one and sprayed it in my room I loved it so much. I tell you there’s something in that Lynx Africa
This is what these brands are called in Israel.
Lays/Walkers: "Tapuchips"
Burger King: Burger King (very unpopular tho, we only have 16 locations)
Vodafone: we don't have it, our top communication companies are Bezeq, Hot, Cellcom and Partner
McDonald's: McDonald's, no nickname
TJ/TK Maxx: we don't have it
Axe/Lynx: Axe
Lynx Africa is just the automatic gift you get at Christmas if you didn't get one did you even have Christmas?
I legit got like 5 of them
The shower pack 😅
I'm falling in love with Sam and Walter as we speak.
Never in my life have I seen my BRITISH city of Worcester (Where I'm from) said so much in a video
Planet07 how do I say what do you mean all thesr
Did they say it correctly though?
@@michaelau5159 Before moving to Korea I used to live VERY close to there (I would go out there drinking lots of beer). The spelling is very silly, but it it pronounced Wus-ter. The only people who say Wor-ses-ter are people not from the UK, who are reading it literally. Even the Scottish/Welsh say Wus-ter.
The spelling is really stupid, it's just one of those things...
We also have a town called Worcester in SA
@THE TWO FINGERED BRUTE well, as someone from the Black Countries posh town of Stourbridge, your "taaan" is pronounced "Wooster" here in this neck of the woods, ya posh twat from woostersheer. Love you too fellow Brit.
Small parts of the U.K. in south Essex use a lot of Australian Language and we all it “Maccers” here.
The Australian guy has all the facts on everything. 😂
😂😂 I noticed
In Australia, the TK Maxx shops we have now actually used to be called Trade Secret. I think it was only relatively recently (by that I mean last few years) that TJX bought out/acquired Trade Secret and changed them into the TK Maxx brand.
Gurl! You are representing SA so well! ❤️
She understand the assignment❤
I live off smith’s I sometimes eat red rock and adequately eat kettle
For the life of me, I don't know why the Australians would even want to claim McDonald's.
Because it was a joke and he misinterpreted that. You would know that if you actually read what he wrote here & above..... ^^^
Kudos to Walter for bulshitting everyone with the clearly bogus Australian McDonald's story. Up there with drop bears.
Lol you can tell the American dude was squirming internally n not buying any of the bullshit
Aussies are always trying to claim other people’s stuff
Ahh yes the McBradman burger
@@elifowler7150 its all fun, and it humorous
@@elifowler7150 Like what?
Fun fact, in Mexico we call the chips/crisps Sabritas (the brand) but I've heard that in some South American countries, the brand is called Fritolay
For those who don't know:
Vodacom is a company that was started in South Africa in 1994 as a 50/50 partnership between Telkom and vodafone, and - along with MTN - was one of the first mobile netework operators in the country. In 2008, Vodafone took over the majority of the company and they rebranded a few years later with the logo, but not the name.
these need to be longer i could watch a whole hour of this stuff lmao
Such a cool challenge actually
Just Some Guy without a Mustache I know right it’s actually really entertaining
Dude I see you everywhere.
I’m from Australia and I’ve literally never seen lays chips before. Literally the only three brands I’ve EVER seen are Smiths, Red Rock and Kettle
*cough* Thins *cough cough*
I’m 30 and I remember lays, they are called thins now. The old light and tangy was my favourite
There's also French Fries and Samboy which are still around.
One upon a time, Australia had Lays (best flavour from them were barbecue) and, before that, Ruffles and Colvan.
Lays: PepsiCo.
Thins: Formerly independent, then Arnotts, now independent again.
Ohhhh. Thins...ok. Yeah.
I don’t really like thins. I feel like smiths are the go to
I live in south Africa and I didn't even know we had salt and vinegar lays I probably forgot about them 😅
In india, we have private operators like Jio, Airtel. Vodafone & Idea got merged and become VI recently and we have a government run BSNL
I always have myself just sitting on the edge of my seat hoping someone doesn’t steal the Australian words for things as I wait for it to get to him at the end of the table
Australia just out here given their own names to things 😂 Respect!
Yeah, I've always loved the way they come up with their own names for almost everything.
Bring back Salt and Vinegar Lays!!!!
We want Salt & Vinegar
Consuming lot of salt and vinegar it is not good for our body.
Hungry Jack's Pty Ltd. is an Australian fast-food franchise of the Burger King Corporation. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Competitive Foods Australia, a privately held company owned by Jack Cowin. Hungry Jack's owns and operates or sub-licenses all of the Burger King/Hungry Jack's restaurants in Australia.
In South Africa Lays crisps(chips) are made by Simba Chips and when I went to Australia I saw that Lays was made by Smiths. Another interesting one was that in South Africa Dairy Maid ice cream is part of Nestlé and in Australia it is made by Peters. Also what we have in South Africa as Ola ice cream was made by someone else, it may even have been the old Walls brand but I can't remember now
In my middle school many of the boys and girls knew Axe as a shower in a can, because they didn't shower, but they would basically shower in Axe body spray
