@don't feel bad I've done it before with twix. I also do it with combos or cheese filled pretzels. I eat the outer layer and then eat the bit with the cheese last.
For the chicken selects/nuggets, the difference is McDonald's deep-fry theirs while you did the store ones in the oven. That might make the selects taste better especially given the crispier coating.
Just to let you know.... that Oreo cookies are NOT the original. They are in fact a copy of Hydrox cookies. Hydrox being the orginal sadly Hydrox no longer exist.
6:52 funny thing about that is that... oreo's are also fake versions... Hydrox were the originals, then oreo came along as a knockoff and actually overtook them.
I will be turning 21 this year and will unapologetically be having a Colin the Caterpillar on the day. I am truly devastated too see it not get the recognition it deserves😢
I’m glad Ciarán is finally expanding his tastes with some healthy adult food… and the Hello Fresh must be alright for him too! Honestly though, Aldi’s own-brand stuff is amazing, I actually like their versions of Pot Noodles more than the real ones. Not their potato waffles though, they taste like cardboard.
I don't remember the last time we've brought branded items, majority of the time the knockoffs are better/just as good. By the way the same goes for paracetamol etc. I feel like some people get put off by using store brand medication but it's more than likely placebo effect that "it's not as good" when in reality they have the exact same ingredients🙂
Editing was flawless, but I love the Caramel + Biscuit bars.. so creamy, good to see a video like this - very enjoyable + I'm staying clear of those fake, farting, fridge raiders haha !
Ive had the cheap fridge raiders aldi one the packaging was also hard to open so prob made in the same place as lidl and I thought they tasted good but I haven't yet tried them side by side but tasted similar to me
Being an avid Lidl & Aldi shopper I can say 90% of the products are almost identical in taste and Id rather save £40 a week. However... The fraud version of kinder Bueno is so much better than the original BUT somewhere you can't cheap out is heinz tomato sauce where as the fraud version is just red water
Great video idea, about time someone tested this for us UK lot. Sadly on the list of "TH-camrs whose opinion on food I trust" Ciaran Carlin is somewhere near the very bottom.
Thanks you our great country, i am fully converted to the 'knock-off' brands of snack items. Whenever I see the price for the genuine/ original items, i legit lose my apatite
That "Select & GO" range feels a bit insulting to me. The way they've capitalised the "GO". They're basically saying "Take this and get the FUCK out of our supermarket"
The Oreo - Neo bit reminded me that I can't even eat Kellog's Nutri-Grains any more. They are SO dry. Aldi's ones are so much better. Lidl's are also very different, still better than Kellog's. They're almost crispy. Oh and when I tried the Neos years ago, I thought they were awful. Maybe they've changed?
As someone who grew up in pretty extreme poverty in the UK a really special treat would be to have one of the knock-off bars from brands like Mr choc, after growing up and buying my own food I realise that the real stuff is no where near worth it except for the fake walkers sour cream (absolutely revolting)
Having a cuthbert over a Colin is considered a war crime to some it was really the only time I got something that wasn’t a dupe in my house so Colin holds a place in my heart

I have the same first name as u lmao
To be fair, buying a sandwich, taking it apart and eating the individual bits does sound like something you would do...
I HAVE BEEN SEVERELY MISCHARACTERISED
@ 🤣🤣
@don't feel bad I've done it before with twix. I also do it with combos or cheese filled pretzels. I eat the outer layer and then eat the bit with the cheese last.
It's how most people eat Oreos lol😂
Funny of all people that you're making Prince Andrew jokes, have you seen and heard yourself mate?
For the chicken selects/nuggets, the difference is McDonald's deep-fry theirs while you did the store ones in the oven. That might make the selects taste better especially given the crispier coating.
No matter where i buy my nuggets from i always deep fry them instead of oven cooking, it just tastes nicer imo
Need some more of these, proper Greg Wallace content. Try custard creams, sausage rolls and ice cream next time for absolutely no reason
“Proper Greg Wallace content” hahahaha

Masterclass performance here Ciaran 9/10, should move up from adolescent food and try it with adult food next.
lmaoo why did i find this comment so funny pls
aww yeah lemme get a choc ice with 74% frostbite and that weirdly rough ice cream
LONG LIVE BEING CHEAP
Love your vids mate.liked the tcc tccs😂
Y'know oreos are a copycat? They just made it sweeter and called the other company a copycat.
8:46 has bro not heard of Hydrox? COUGH COUGH 4 YEARS BEFORE OREO COUGH for part 2 probably
For the twix you should’ve got a jive from Aldi the jives are top tier
A Racer from aldi is elite
Jives are pure shite, they taste horrible nothing like a twix at all
Jives are pure shite, they taste horrible nothing like a twix at all
@@zagreus3449 agreed
lidl quality is better tho, aldi always claims to be cheap when theres like 20 supermarkets that are cheaper
That face tho 'do we have any Mr chocs in' 🤣 1:05 disappointed child or pushing an hefty steamer out 🤷🤣
Someone arrest that man 😂 the best PSA ever 😂😂 subscribed !

Colin’s goated
I’m so glad mr lenny freed you from his sweatshop so you could make gourmet food content
This is definitely my top 10 favourite TH-cam channels. Every time I watch you you make me smile.
I’m glad Ciarán is finally expanding his tastes with some healthy adult food… and the Hello Fresh must be alright for him too!
Honestly though, Aldi’s own-brand stuff is amazing, I actually like their versions of Pot Noodles more than the real ones. Not their potato waffles though, they taste like cardboard.
I am almost a grown man
How you make something so simple so entertaining is amazing. You absolute jester.
Ciaran Carlin, such a underrated TH-camr!
Thanks mum! Love you
@ hahaha. Keep shining, and keep buying Neo's
As soon as I saw the Fridge Raiders knockoff, I knew it’d take the piss for you to open them 😂
I don't remember the last time we've brought branded items, majority of the time the knockoffs are better/just as good. By the way the same goes for paracetamol etc. I feel like some people get put off by using store brand medication but it's more than likely placebo effect that "it's not as good" when in reality they have the exact same ingredients🙂
Same ingredients and same percentages at least according to the packaging.
@@Midala87 also serial codes but literally the only reason big brands sell for more is to make up for money lost with research & marketing😂
The Neo Oreos (large ones) are so good
Indeed
6:40 So out of the blue it made me spit out my tea in laughter.
Kat kot😂😂that one got a giggle
Oh my gosh is this to help people find alternatives from brands that they don't want to buy from? This is genius!!!
Editing was flawless, but I love the Caramel + Biscuit bars.. so creamy, good to see a video like this - very enjoyable + I'm staying clear of those fake, farting, fridge raiders haha !
🤮 🤮 mine had some muscle connective tissue so wrong think am gonna 🤮
Please the fart raiders are grim
Titan bars go off😂
I bite each end off a twix and drink my coffee thru it like a straw it also makes the twix delicious to eat when it softens x
I’m hearing the prices then and seeing them now and it’s such a big difference
i like that the neos are also vegan like oreos are too
Nice cameo in the max fish video 🍌
Ciarán, why did I get genuinely hyped to see a silhouette of Colin the caterpillar?
No, I used to bite the biscuit off a twix and be left with the caramel.
STOP IVE ATE THESE
Another outstanding video from you. As a homesick Brit abroad this absolutely made my day. 10/10, dry humour and sarcasm on point sir.
i was really hoping for some kat kot content in this video
You forgot Charlie, the co-op caterpillar, he was the best imo!
I think I’ve found my new favourite channel
Aldi fakes are so so much better, let’s get that straight.
There is a very particular method to opening the Southern Style Chicken Bites 😂
What a great introduction to a channel, "Children Goood"
Ive had the cheap fridge raiders aldi one the packaging was also hard to open so prob made in the same place as lidl and I thought they tasted good but I haven't yet tried them side by side but tasted similar to me
This guys a legend. Yes your a legend m8
You could give Andy Serkis and Gollum a run for their money 😂
By far the funniest food comparison vid ive seen. Youve earned a subscriber.
Turning on the oven and not falling asleep. Quest failed, so many times.
Aldi do a Twix knock off called Jive and I absolutely love them😆
4:43 that's me when I let out a silent fart
Being an avid Lidl & Aldi shopper I can say 90% of the products are almost identical in taste and Id rather save £40 a week.
However... The fraud version of kinder Bueno is so much better than the original BUT somewhere you can't cheap out is heinz tomato sauce where as the fraud version is just red water
Same thing as cheap beans, heinz is a thicker sauce and the cheap cans taste soapy.
Love these videos the quality is unbelievable
Much appreciated!
Unpopular opinion: Aldi’s Titan bars are nicer than Mars. I SAID WHAT I SAID 🤷🏼♀️
True
He is back if only for a little bit :)
i think we can all agree that titan bars are sm better than a mars bar
Love coming home from a long hard day down the mines and reaching for a Titan bar. Nothing comes close.
Great video idea, about time someone tested this for us UK lot. Sadly on the list of "TH-camrs whose opinion on food I trust" Ciaran Carlin is somewhere near the very bottom.
NEO go hard
Agent Smith be like!!!!:
Thanks you our great country, i am fully converted to the 'knock-off' brands of snack items. Whenever I see the price for the genuine/ original items, i legit lose my apatite
Tik tok also sounds like it could be a knock-off brand too😂
Titan bars are lit tho
Finally an update, been checking for the last month 👌
Titans honestly do go hard tho you have to admit
i'm a normal person. i see lidl on the thumbnail. i click.
Should of tried the jive bar from Aldi so much better than twix
That "Select & GO" range feels a bit insulting to me. The way they've capitalised the "GO".
They're basically saying "Take this and get the FUCK out of our supermarket"
Been buying generic brands and fair to say prefer imitations still tasted good to me and saves money
The Oreo - Neo bit reminded me that I can't even eat Kellog's Nutri-Grains any more. They are SO dry. Aldi's ones are so much better. Lidl's are also very different, still better than Kellog's. They're almost crispy.
Oh and when I tried the Neos years ago, I thought they were awful. Maybe they've changed?
What a random yet very hooking video idea! I'm glad Cuthbert won like he did in court
Neos and bellonas are GOATED
And the mister chocs are great too
As someone who grew up in pretty extreme poverty in the UK a really special treat would be to have one of the knock-off bars from brands like Mr choc, after growing up and buying my own food I realise that the real stuff is no where near worth it except for the fake walkers sour cream (absolutely revolting)
Funfact: oreo is a knock-off of hydrox
Big brain boy
@@ColeWilliams-nz8sl :D
@@cheese_productions :)
Never thought I'd hear the phrase raw dog during a biscuit review
Bellona to me tastes so different to Bueno but I absolutely love both. I love a bootleg. Thanks for this video.
"Pom bears? I think you mean teddy faces, you bumbling idiot" I need to use that at some point in life😂😂
Having a cuthbert over a Colin is considered a war crime to some it was really the only time I got something that wasn’t a dupe in my house so Colin holds a place in my heart
🎉do your tasst buds have a lisp too. Colin is the best.
Bellonas are elite ngl, especially straight outta the fridge
Always love your content CDotR
Hey, I love some Danpak, as well as Nordpak, honestly can't tell the difference.
Lidl mcdonalds dupe nuggets. Put them in airfryer, came out hollow inside, literally was just hot bread no chicken. Every single one
soon as i saw the title i was thinking about those cheap orange packeted knock off twixes they are the goats of knock offs for sure
It’s funny because Neo Oreo’s are a knock off of a knock off that being oreos themselves 😂
Had mister choc bar last night and you're so right mate 😂
Unpopular opinion but Macdonalds chicken nuggets are not nice at all. Everyone seems to LOVE them but even for fast food they are bland and grim!
As an American y’all have to explain to me the chocolate caterpillar .
It's like $8.00 here for 20 piece chicken mcnuggets for about 4 more dollars you can get 40!
Always have lidl knockoff chocolates when I go on vacation, those things are elite
8:13 LOL
What is fam so shocked about on the thumbnail💀
What time we going breakfast then?
“Technically you can drink piss”
Farm foods do what they called Battered takeaway nuggets and they are the same shape and batter and taste of the Classic old McD nuggets
0:16 Pom-Bärs are a thing outside of Germany?
Aldi teddy faces are banging though ngl
Did you know? In the place where I live there is a copy of Kit kat called Tik Tok for ₹5
mars bar and titan are almost identical
i bought caramel and biscuit after seeing this video, i will agree, it is great, and very affordable, £1.59 for 15 mini bars
tcc tcc got me
So why did the chicken selects / nuggs get a blind taste test and nothing else did?!!!
Nah those titan bars are so good i can't lie
I mean would it be a Ciaran Carlin video without a willy joke?
Do I make that many
@ Oh dw, I live for it, Willy jokes, c*m jokes, it’s all there haha, I hear less innuendos in the p0rn I make 😂
Did you just tell me to go dieee!???
Lovely content Ciarán, our nutmaster
Crazy nickname but you may just be on to something there
I took a sandwich and took it apart when you said it😄
