Do we have KELLOGGS in the US? Yes, it’s an American Company & brand. “Corn Flakes” were invented in Michigan. This English girl made a video saying if Americans didn’t like baked beans it’s because we have never tasted “British ones” the right brand is Heinz! When she was told that Heinz is an American Brand & we have tons of Heinz products, she didn’t believe it until she googled it.
her punishment should be to spend a week with Teresa Heinz Kerry, then she'll thank her lucky stars that Heinz is not a British company
Yup, Kellogg's, Post, and General Mills all started in Battle Creek, Michigan... the city where I was born and raised.
And, yep, Brits are clueless to how much we enjoy beans, too... we just don't eat them for breakfast, lmao.
fun fact. Corn flakes were invented as an anti-masturbation measure
@@kramermccabe8601, by Dr. Kellogg at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Dr. Kellogg was also instrumental in the spread of 7th Day Adventist... which originated in Battle Creek.
The eggs here are washed and that's why they need to be refrigerated. There's not that protective coating on the outside
By USDA standards. Eggs must be washed with a minimum of 169 degrees Fahrenheit water. That destroyed the protective layer of the egg.
I'm curious which egg lasts longer since I've eaten refrigerated eggs 3-4 weeks after buying them, and they were still perfectly good.
Yes this is true ,🎉
@@AnAmericanMusician an unwashed/unscratched egg stored at 45F with proper humidity can usually last 6 months, or indefinitely in a completely sterile environment (theoretically.) Float test an egg to see if bacteria have produced enough gas to change buoyancy. It all depends on what gets into the egg first of all, and how fast it multiplies (depends on heat.)
Edit: Foreign contaminants can be present on eggs since hens only have one exit, this is why the US industry must wash them.
@@AnAmericanMusicianI’ve heard there’s virtually no difference. But you might get a little chicken poo on egg shells in England.
7:18 Kellogg's is an American based company.
The eggs here are washed which washes the cuticle off which means bacteria can penetrate the shell and spoil the egg unless you refrigerate it.
If you get eggs from a farmer's market or something like that then they are shelf stable.
I was thinking the same thing
Yep, I am a farm boy and never had store eggs until I was almost 18-years-old... I had NO idea you were supposed to refrigerate eggs bought in a store.
Boiling an egg removes the cuticle as well, obviously.
From what i understood while hauling fresh eggs, American eggs must have the outside cleaned and sanitized before being sent out for commercial sale... The protective outer layer is washed off. All commercial raw eggs must be temperature controlled as well, so no shelf, only cooler
Yes, we not only have bins outside our doors but at each cart return as well....lol. In answer to your partial question, no black currant is not a thing in the US. Cookie dough is everywhere in everything you can imagine in the US. With all the things she's never seen before I'm wondering what planet she has been living on. Those ice cream flavors are available in backward Arkansas so I'm sure they are elsewhere as we are usually one of the last to see new stuff.
Same, I don't think they have every actually been in a grocery store lol.
black currant is a thing in the US, its just not as popular
"Do you have Kelloggs?" Me as a Michigander 😲
A lot of it looks familiar, but definitely not pie in a can or any meat pie, actually. Some things that British people think of as British food are American brands, like Kellogg’s or Heinz.
We actually do have meat pies in the US. We just call them pot pies. Never seen one in a can though. 😂
Yours is a small nation. Be proud of what you have. The 3.50 deal is very good. Another good video.
It is nice to get to see a UK grocery store as well. There was a lot that looked similar, but different brands. However, the tinned pies were definitely a surprise. I would give it a go.
not really different brands just they same brands with different name. Walkers is owned by Frito lay TJ Maxx=TK Maxx, Dove (chocolate)= Galaxy, milky way= mars bars, Good Humor= Walls, Dannon=Danone, 3 Musketeers = Milky Way, Exxon=Esso. The list is endless
The USA has a lot of the same products. They are just labeled differently to meet the demographics of the area they are marketed to. Same for flavors. Example would be Coke Cola has a ton of flavors that we would consider disgusting but other countries love. Also, the UK has different criteria for what is considered safe to consume, so ingredients are varied to achieve the same product.
And the labels change to meet the required labeling in usa
3:06 They scrub the eggs to get all the dirt and feces off and use chemicals that kill bacteria. Scrubbing takes the protective outer coating off which causes the eggshells to become permeable enough that they have to be kept cold or bacteria can get inside.
it's hardly "scrubbing"
The cold temperature actually slows down the metabolism of microbes so they don't reproduce much at all.
Blackcurrants were removed from the US in 1911 and made illegal to import. It's still illegal to import blackcurrant from your country, most of the EU, and most of the UK. Consequently, there's almost nothing that flavor here, and almost no Americans eat them. Starting in the early 2000s some production in some US states started, but it's still extremely rare.
A lot of flavors of B&Js are stocked depending on the sales numbers. A certain location will start stocking a different flavor, and if it doesn't sell well immediately, it's replaced by another flavor. I can find certain flavors depending on what neighborhood the store is in.
The hardest thing about this video is that they didn’t show anything but the snack aisles so it makes it look like you have nothing but baked sweets. Also the woman in the video is flat wrong, you can get bread twists and all kinds of Ben and Jerry’s. I’d be curious to see how your meat and produce sections look
Like all the ice cream she was talking about in small containers. She doesn’t think we have those in the USA and we do.
she doesn't look like she shops in the produce aisle very much
@@pointlessmanatee weird take
Well, they're travelling, and hotels with rooms that include a kitchen are even less common in the UK than they are in the US, so they probably weren't in a place where they could actually prepare and cook a meal.
Hmmm....she said we don't have those particular flavors of Ben and Jerry's.
The ice cream in those small containers we do have those in the USA
I continue to be fascinated at your fascination with us
We have all kinds of Ramen in a cup. From chicken to beef to shrimp. They cost 53 cents at Walmart. They do make hot ones too in larger sizes.
And, they're in styrofoam, which is why she was surprised the cup of noodles there wasn't styrofoam.
Kellogg's originated in Battle Creek, Michigan... where I was born. In Battle Creek, several cereal companies started there. In that city, it is ALL about the cereal.
Yes! Pure Michigan 💙💙💙
nothing "bad" persay is done to the eggs here, they're just washed, which washes off the cuticle causing them to be more susceptible to bacteria unless refrigerated, also we share a lot of similar items except for the cadbury brands and tesco brands and most of the fizzy drinks lol
From what I can see in this vid, Tesco seems similar to a store in the NE US called Wegmans. If you can find a video of someone in a Wegmans, you might dig it.
When I studied in Britain I found the grocery stores to have great variety and interesting mixes of flavors I couldn't find in the US. I grew up in Alaska shopping at Safeway and when I was in university in London I shopped at Safeway. My only major complaint is I hate currant berry but love black licorice. I found black licorice in the UK but it was difficult and if you see any candy that is black it will most likely be currant flavor. I still hate currant. It taste like a good berry that went went bad after a few weeks.
What surprises me is how many similar products there are. The imported food aisle in my local U.S. grocery has a wider variety of foods than most stores and none of them are similar to American foods. I would be led to believe the cuisine is totally different but it's not.
Hopefully no spiders on this one
Kellogg's from michigan that's where it started
This looks like a normal grocery here. Like equivalent to our Vons, Ralphs, Food Lion, etc (we all dont' shop at Costco or Super Walmarts all the time). Some of the things that were the same brands I'm used to did have flavors we don't have. And there were brands you have that we don't, but we might have the same types of stuff in a different brand, if that makes sense. There were a few things that I saw in their vid that'd I'd love to try. :D
Also, beans on toast is delicious.
It just looks like there are fewer brands in our isles. It does look like you have more flavors within the brands than we do.
Only real thing I saw that was familiar was the Lipton tea in the bottle..Heinz beans..yall chips Pringles 😊 Capri sun
.not a whole lot I recognized..be proud of what Yall have..love your Channel
Pringles are actually crisps. The only ones British people say correctly. 😂
4 minutes and 9 seconds into this video, and i still have yet to see something i've heard of in this store.
The eggs look vaguely familiar 😂
Tried beans and toast, liked it (made sure the toast was nice and crunchy). It's difficult to find tarts, pies and crumbles with rhubarb here in the states. Love rhubarb. Saw many things I'd love to try, especially the sweets, jams and sodas, lots of flavors we don't have here. Your grocery stores are very good, going by this one. Would love to shop in one.
The US has about 5 times as many grocery stores as the UK in more than 40 times its area. Your stores are smaller but much more accessible. It's a very different strategy.
I wish someone would show a spice aisle.
Yes, I have grown up with beans on toast, potato scones, mince and tatties, tablet, and Mum's homemade 3-2-1 jello.( Jello pack , half hot water and half milk and whip it good). Even though Happy Valley, Labrador, Canada is nowhere near the British coast, Scotland came to us... in the form of our 5ft tall Mum from the Isle of Cumbrae. And since our town sprung up because of the airport established due to a secret WW2 agreement between the USA and the UK , we played host to both the American and British air forces for years. Not to mention the later arrival of the West German and Dutch air forces. So , yeah, we had all sorts of internal goodies growing up . Needless to say there was also a greater influx of blondes uniform too. Many a teenage girl took notice. Just saying good times were had my many.
I'm from Texas, go to the middle of our nation on a map, you'll find Kansas, go due south till just before Mexico and that's Texas. We have many types of grocery stores, many of them large, and this one of yours looks great, very comparable. Before covid, our stores were really well stocked. Then, it was very iffy, now it's better but I don't see holes in your isles like I see here and guess now this many years later always will. I don't know if every state still has this issue but we do here in Texas and it's ridiculous. You've nothing to hide your eyes about.
We have a brand of cup noodles called cup of noodles that are in a styrofoam cup and ramen noodles not pot noodles. There’s no iron bru or oasis or black currant flavored stuff.
There are a few black currant flavored things you can get in the US, but it isn't very popular.
Black current plants are illegal in USA so we don't have products with that flavorm
@@peggykrech69That isn't true.
Nissin Hot Garlic Chicken noodles is a gift from the Gods! Don't even get me started on the molten chili chicken bowls...
@@DavidWalton-g8w By 2003 restrictions on blackcurrant cultivation had been lifted across most of the states, though some bans remain. Most Northeast states either ban blackcurrant or require a permit to grow harvest or transport them. Nationally, a prohibition on the import of blackcurrant plants from Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and several EU countries remains. A special permit is required to import it from Chile.
Your baked beans look like pork n beans here not the baked beans we sell. Bush's is one of the biggest brands for canned beans.
It cracked me up to see her wonder if Kellogg's Special K is the same here as it is there. Um...yes sweetie, lol.
No we have various flavors for Capri-Sun, but it's the black currant flavor specifically that will probably never be a thing or anything black current. It's a banned plant in most of the US and up until recently it was banned everywhere because it's an invasive species to pine trees can only be imported from Chile with a special permit.
You should be aware of the fact that those guys showcasing Tesco's as a big shopping spot ISN'T the same as Walmart shopping. Most people choose not to shop in Walmart or target, Costco and Sam's Club.... America has smaller chains that tons of us shop at instead
Something too is that walmarts food section isnt much different to our large Asda stores(owned by walmart) and Tesco Xtra's. The difference with walmart is they have so much other stuff like garden furniture, pets, guns sometimes, garden store etc in this one huge store, when generally in the uk we have these stores seperate but built close together in a retail park. So right beside the big tesco youll have a b&q (like home depot), next to that a pc world(electronics) even other supermarket/home stores like 'Home Bargains' and ASDA living and maybe some clothing stores.
I really enjoyed this video! Would love to see more about the UK. You have a beautiful country, so be proud.
US Law requires eggs to be washed; this apparently renders them more likely to rot so they have to be refrigerated.
They have quiet time in us too well its not quiet time but its like 2 hours before the store opens certain customers like older ppl and disabled get to come shop alone before the entire public comes
Actually, while it is an extremely common misconception, it’s not called Cup O Noodles!
It’s just called Cup Noodles!
It’s like a small town grocery store here with different brands
I didn’t recognize a lot of brand names until they got to the snack aisle. The pie in a tin is definitely not something I’ve seen before. Beans on toast is a big nope for me but don’t be offended since I won’t eat an egg on my toast either. A little butter is it for me.
Can't argue with you on the taste and reasonable uses of Marmite. They jar it because the cattle and pigs won't eat it.
Yeah, they have to wash the eggs here and they remove some part of the embryo so it has to be refrigerated and you cannot leave it out on the counter for more than three or four hours! So far I have not recognized anything other then the some of the chips, some of the ice creams, a few of the sodas n Kellogg’s cereal but we have like 10 different types of just that particular Kellogg cereal which is ridiculous! Don’t get me started on Cheerios and how many different flavors or have I seen anything like them and Styrofoam noodle cups? Where the hell is she buying her food from? You can’t microwave Styrofoam cuz that’s how we would make ours.
Walmart has quiet time in some cities in America. 7 to 9 am. Of course it's quiet, who shops at that early hour? Kelloggs originated in Battle Creek, Michigan. I've eaten beans on toast all my life. My Grandfather was born in London UK and moved to the U.S. when he turned 18 for college. He never went back.
When I went to school in London there was a small market around the corner from my dorm and us students would go into it and be like, yall are buying like 4 things. We buy 40 or more at once. It was like people only bought for a couple of days at a time and then went back. Actually liked the concept alot.
And I didn't recognize hardly anything outside of the drinks. Also you had me belly laughing during this video.
Our eggs are washed and then a light coating of mineral oil is added to keep things from penetrating the shell.
Chocolate chip or Toll House cookies are completely American (biscuits) hence Chocolate Chip cookie dough ice cream is also American. Jeepers! sometimes, y'all!!
From my experience visiting London two years ago, and going to a Tesco's, the only real difference I noticed was the number of things available. We have pretty much the same stuff, just more of it here and in slightly different packaging. Yeah, of course, there are differences, but I didn't exactly feel like I'd landed on an alien planet walking through a Tesco's or Sainsbury's. I did try Marks and Spencers, and that was just to get some custard tarts. Couldn't find 'em anywhere else. Big fan of As Time Goes By, so had to try one. As others have mentioned, we have plenty of grocery stores other than Walmart, so don't think they're all the same and all huge. Local markets are everywhere here too.
texas here!! it's the jolly channel. they vlog all over the us eating food!
Well, what's wrong with our eggs is that Cletus really, really likes chickens, and that makes fools of us all. lol Seriously, though, others have stated the real reason: washing.
The store doesn't look too bad, and there were things they said we don't have, but we do. Also, birthday cake flavor is basically buttery vanilla with sprinkles. I don't care for it, but a lot of people seem to. My favorite ice cream flavor is difficult to find, even here: Tin Roof Sundae.
11:00 They're referring to something else because we have cookie dough.
All of my previous knowledge of UK groceries came from Navid's store on Still Game......
We do to have cheese twists. We also have cheese filled pretzel sticks.
The things that she seemed to not recognize looked perfectly normal to me. Different states have different groceries and stuff though, so maybe her state is deprived compared to mine.
A lot of people are talking about how eggs have to be refrigerated in the US because they're cleaned, but I wonder if the fact that many parts of the US also get super hot is a factor as well.
Watching this video I googled "American fast food UK". 🤣
"Lucozade, like True Blood, but fizzy." Adam Couser, June 6, 2024
Eggs are made shelf stable by coating them with oil or wax. So basically..it is what we do not do to our eggs😉
Pot noodle for 80p?!? €2 (£1.70) down here for Pot Noodle! Tunnock's caramel bars are gorgeous!
Adam's videos are always good. 💚💚💚💚
Isn't it fun to see how people react to things that are common for you but new to them? 😊
The reason she thought the container would be Styrofoam is because we have a similar product called cup o noodles that come in Styrofoam container
I don't know where they shop at but we have all of that. It's just with a slight difference in the name. And we have more options. That is like the grocery selection at a Walmart. Go to winco. Much better
Adam, take us with you when you grocery shop...Pretty please!
Just found your page a couple days ago. Like it and subscribed. You mentioned about sending you food. I saw viennetta in this video. Miss that from my childhood. Send me a couple. Lol. Just kidding
I remember Viennetta! Please bring it back!!!
why no unit price on the shelf label. Comparing price per gram is simple when it's in bold numbers for you
Our eggs 🥚 have to be washed. Which means the natural protective coating is washed away. So, Once eggs are washed, they have to be kept refrigerated to keep them from spoiling. But seriously, who wants to buy eggs with chicken poop and other things all over them. If you raise your own chickens, then of course you can better ensure a more sanitary egg producing environment. But hard to do that in huge egg production farms.
Hell no to beans on toast.
I would try some of the stuff in the video one thing caught my attention Viennetta ice cream cake that used to be here in Canada but got discontinued I used to eat one of them in one sitting
Never had beans on toast but I do like baked beans on bread and butter. And baked beans mixed with apple sauce lol
Wrong about Lucozade it's gorgeous, you described Irn Bru.
That seemed like a standard sized grocery store in America. We have a lot of regular grocery stores besides Wal-Mart & Costco. I actually prefer to go to Aldi. So much cheaper than most of the other stores here. Where I live, we have Publix, Harvey's, Winn Dixie, Rowe's, Sprouts, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's, Aldi, Save a Lot, Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market (a small Wal-Mart that only sells groceries), & of course, Target & Wal-Mart. We also have Costco, Sam's Club, & BJ's wholesale clubs. I like to go to Aldi, & then Target for anything Aldi didn't have. Don't really like to go to Wal-Mart that much.
You can immediately tell the difference between a U.K store and a U.S. it's too quiet. If that was a store here in the States, believe me, you could literally hear 250 people talking at one time.
They went during a special quiet time. Whatever that is. 😂
Another good one! Our eggs are shelf stable when they come right out of the chicken in the backyard. Once you refrigerate them, though, that's it. You can't let them warm up.
Nah it's because we wash them... Takes some protective coating away or something...
American eggs gets washed during processing and it removes the protective coating so they go bad quicker if not refrigerated, farmers and such that use their own egg supplies dont have to refrigerate, but i believe if you sell the eggs they HAVE to go through that process
"I think your cereal aisle here is smaller than out cereal aisle in the US" ... ya think, Captain Obvious??
Um, what? Why are you bent out of shape over that?
@@spirals73 that's "bent out of shape" to you?
First day on the internet, little lady?
I grew up on beans and cornbread in the southern USA.
My mom made the best cornbread and navy beans - they were one of my favorites!
Bro, everything there is so cheap... Like if I wanted to buy four cans of a shandy would be $2 and change for each can. A 2L of diet Coke is almost $4. I saw a watermelon a few weeks ago and they wanted $17 for it. Chicken over $14 a kilo, $6 for a dozen of eggs.
From what I can see prices there are a third of the price that we pay here. In the mid-2000s you could fill your shopping cart for 150 bucks, and now you might be able to fill two bags for that price.
There's a lot of things in this store that are not available in the US. And you have flavors of things we don't have
We definitely have every flavor of ben and Jerry's possible my grocery stores have entie sections for them.
texas here!! you have to watch brits try terry blacks texas bbq. they are hilarious! i've eaten where they went & it's REALLY that good!
She expected the pot noodles to come in a styrofoam cup because that's how those sort of cup noodles are always packaged here in the US. I would have expected styrofoam as well.
Those prices seemed good. My experience with US vs UK supermarkets has been that your produce is much cheaper, while our junk food is usually cheaper. But these junk food prices seemed pretty congruent with ours (and of course, they weren't in the market for anything except for junk food yet because they have no way of storing perishables until they reach their AirB&B).
I've never seen Heinz brand beans, just the ketchup.
It all looks different. Special K is all I have recognized.
As someone who is in the place to place Kellogg's no way kids!
Although it's interesting to see what foreigners think of America I also like to see the reverse like this; Americans visit stores in other countries.
I love Tesco when I'm in the UK.
There are TWO things I miss from my time in the UK, and they are related...Ribina, and black current jam. Of course hand drawn english ale served at the proper temperature!
Mall and grocery store...not the same. Mall is a building with more than 100 stores
welcome to how it feels when u europeans record in our grocery stores
A lot of what she was talking about is wrong we have the ice scream in small containers to
We have pot noodles. I saw it at dollar general. Most of the stuff we have…probably not much of the same brands though. She was overwhelmed with choice of different brands of stuff that she hasn’t seen before. I’ve never seen Marmite in stores or the Angel Delights. We have some Dairy Milk products but not the things she showed. We have cookie dough and the chocolate fudge brownie flavors she showed…maybe there were others there and she just filmed the wrong ones.
I see you only have the one stand up reaction
I would love to see more of that. Bill Burr is great . You should see some more of his stuff.
Hahahaha!! That's a tiny grocery store... And their cart 🛒 is small good enough for a week of groceries
I don’t like the large American grocery stores. Sometimes, more doesn’t necessary mean better. You can’t just run in and quickly pick up a few things
The meal price is a good deal, assuming the sandwich is good quality. The US washes the eggs to get rid of chicken poop on them. So, they have to be refrigerated.
I havent been to Europe in 15 years to be fair, but I can't lie, I loved every part of your country and then i walked into a market in York and thought I was in a 3rd world country.
Ye our cup/pot noddles are in styrofoam 😂😂
