Yaay! Really enjoyed watching you guys open your second box. I am so pleased to see that you loved this one ☺️ This box was definitely more up your alley compared to the Christmas box. So interesting watching you try our things for the first time!
Great idea having tea 👌🏻 goes so well with chocolate. Also, your dog is sooo cute!!! Thanks for uploading another tasting video 😀
Thank you SO much! 😄 We definitely enjoy trying all the British treats you send us.
The tea was perfect and we will be having it with our tasting videos from now on.
We will pass on your compliment to our pup 😊 🐕
@@FromtheHobbitHole May I, as a Brit, point something out? You don't leave the teabag in the mug! Once the tea is strong enough for your taste, remove the bag. If you don't, the tea will get stronger and stronger...
You can also add a little cold milk (and I mean a little!) and a little sugar or a sweetener - although these additions are down to personal taste. You may prefer the tea without milk or without sugar (or without both!).
As for "Dairy milk", you'll find that it is simply "Cadbury's Dairy Milk" chocolate (read the packaging). This simply denotes that Cadbury's chocolate contains dairy (or full cream) milk. There is no separate brand called "Dairy Milk".
Thank you for specifying the Dairy Milk thing! As for the tea, we typically do take the tea bag out of the cup once it’s properly steeped, but we forgot this time as we were wrapped up in making the video 😝 We do like to add creamers to certain teas, depending on the tea. Thanks for commenting and have a great day!
Another fab tasting video. I am so glad that kate and Alex sent me your way and that you have lots of things for me to bi ge watch. Enjoy your week x
Thank you! And we are so glad that you came and checked us out and stuck around! We love hearing from you...so keep watching and commenting! 😁 Have an awesome day!!
Hello guys, I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching you taste test UK sweets and crisps, I would class Quavers as more of a savoury snack than actual crisps, the Yorkie bar also comes in Raisin and biscuit flavour which would knock your socks off I hope. lol.
If you get another wagon wheel try dunking it in your tea and see what you think. Us Brits are dunking mad.. thanks for a great video and I'm looking forward to the next one.. Have a lovely Sunday..
Thank you SO much! We cannot tell you how much we enjoy your comments and viewership 😊
If we ever get our hands on those other Yorkie flavors, we’ll let you know if they knock our socks off 😉 (Hailey is pretty confident that they will). We will also have to try dunking things in our tea to get the full British experience. Once again, thank you and have a wonderful day!
Another lovely video. I really love watching you both. The make Barratts rhymes with carrots.
Just saw your xmas video so glad to see you've done another. Shame none of my suggestions I made on there were in this box but fingers crossed for the future!
Yes, hopefully we will get to try your suggestions as they sounded really good!
Okay, first of all Hailey's hair looks amazing 😍😍😍 and second I really enjoyed watching this 😊
Why thank you, darlin’! 😁😁You make me feel so good about myself. 😄 And I’m glad you liked the video.
@@FromtheHobbitHole well, that is what friends are for
good video, i like that you took your time to comment and compare between similar items
Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed it 😁
You likely won’t be seeing this but in the U.K. we have two main brands of chocolate.
Cadbury is the classic one- it’s rich and milky. Dairy milk and bournville are products of Cadbury.
Galaxy- it’s less rich and creamy than Cadbury, but it’s very silky and smooth.
A bit of Cadbury history for you. The company started in the early 1800s by the Cadbury family. Being a Quaker family they decided to build their factory and then own ‘village’ or town called Bournville around the factory for all the workers to live in a pleasant atmosphere. Google Bournville if you’d like to see what a wonderful place it is - still to this day. The Cadbury chocolate recipe was very secret of course and totally unchanged for many many years - then Cadbury was bought by the American Kraft group who a) changed the recipe, b) moved production to Poland c) closed down production at Bournville and d) lost the plot. I understand the decision to close Bournville has been reversed and the recipe is being slowly resumed. Note - there are lots of ingredients in chocolate that can be substituted or quantities changed to save money. Kraft are learning -slowly- that it doesn’t work when you’re dealing with a brand so well established. That was a bit of a rant - sorry, my father worked at Bournville making chocolate bars for over 40 years and I worked there myself too for a while so it’s in the blood. We used to get cheap “waste” from the factory shop. Anything that was not perfect was waste and we loved it ! Subscribed as I enjoy your quiet style and honest opinions.
Thanks for sharing this historical facts with us! It’s so much fun finding out these things.
Dolly mixture's are my childhood 😊🍬
Wagon wheels and dolly mixtures are a throwback to my childhood!! Didn't know you could still get either of them!!
Sounds like you need to make a store run to relive your childhood!
Yes....... Cadbury's chocolate rules!!!😁
The familiar Hershey taste dates from WW2 when hershey's developed a process to ensure the chocolate survived travel to Europe by ship followed by military distribution delays.
Dairy milk is Cadbury’s way of saying "this is just milk chocolate", their dark chocolate is Bournville and everything else is the dairy milk mixed with something/air rated or layered.
It’s really cool that Cadbury came up with their own unique terminology. We had an air rated bar in our previous British Candy Box.
Kinder happy hippos are a mini kids treat the bigger version is called Kinder Buenos! Which have a chocolate outside and hazelnut creme inside! Im from the UK! :)
That’s good to know! Especially since we have another British Candy Box waiting for us to try that has the Kinder Buenos! in it 😁
We are super excited for it!!
Thanks for watching our video all the way from the UK 🙏☺️
Good video. In the UK there's been a return of old style sweet shops over the past few years and they sell sweets loose, by weight, with lots of choice - sherbet lemons, American hard gums, wine gums, cola cubes, blackcurrant & licorice, fruit thins, pastilles and so on - hundreds of different individual sweets. You could have a field day !
I think my favourite sweets are tootie frooties (chewy fruit flavoured sweets), curly wurly (a chocolate coated caramel bar) and wheat crunchies (a savoury snack that comes in various flavours).
Now I'm hungry !
Ps - a little tip. If you leave the teabag in the cup the tea becomes what we called "stewed" where the flavour spoils. It's better to infuse until you get the strength you want, then remove the bag. Most Brits add milk to their tea, which I don't think you do in the US.
Great...now we’re hungry for those things too! Haha 😆 All of those sound wonderful and we’d love to try them one day! As for the tea, we typically do remove the tea bags once the tea steeps but we found ourselves wrapped up in making the video and totally forgot 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏻♂️ Some Americans do add milk to their tea. A popular thing to add for us is honey. In our own personal “hobbit hole,” we find ourselves using coffee creamers and eggnog around the holidays.
But not many brits would put milk in earl grey which is what they were drinking
chewy strawberry bonbons!!!
Simple explanation is that “Dairy Milk” is chocolate made by Cadbury’s. You ought also to try Galaxy chocolate... that’s delicious too! Oh, and also Nestlé’s “Milky Bar”.
Hopefully one day we will get the chance to try those chocolates! 🍫
And a caramac
@@paulmoore4223 Which isn't chocolate.
@@yedead1 i bet your fun at parties
Omg squasies are my favourite sweet!!!! You can get different flavours too
We have tried 3 flavors so far!
I tried them and the flavour just hung around in my mouth for far too long. I think it's one of the few UK sweets still using artificial flavour. Euch
We need to read the packaging better because we didn’t notice that they’re using artificial flavors...
Thanks for watching our video! Have you had any of these British treats, and if so, which one is your favorite? Let us know!
Rowntree's is an English confectionery business based in York. Rowntree developed the Kit Kat, Aero, Fruit Pastilles, Smarties brands, Rolo's, Yorkie and Quality Street brands when it merged with Mackintosh's in 1969 to form Rowntree Mackintosh Confectionery. Inturn Rowntree's were boughtout by Nestle.
The history of chocolates and candy is quite interesting. So many buy-outs over the years. Would’ve never known that Kit Kat started in the UK with a company by the name of Rowntree. Thanks for sharing!
I learnt the phrase 'Rowntrees of York give best in value' to learn the colours of the rainbow. There was another phrase for this, but this was the one that stuck 😀
That’s a fun way to learn/remember that!
It's nice to see you enjoying the sweets. I had a Canadian great aunt who used to bring me and my brother Canadian candies and bubblegum when we were kids and I used to like seeing the different packaging and tasting the flavours. ( I know you are in the US :).
Quavers are not crisps, I would describe them as snacks.
Even though we reside south of Canada, they still have things we do not. How do we know? Well...just wait several weeks and you’ll see! 😉
I don't know if anyone's mentioned it before, but when it comes to tea 'etiquette', you have to take into account the type of tea & how it's prepared.
If your tea is called just 'tea', it's generally made with a little milk & sugar, but if it's a bit 'posh', you just drink it on it's own, or perhaps with a lemon wedge.
My personal favourite is what's known over here as 'builders' tea, meaning any brand, as long as it's strong & sweet, & usually in the largest mug you can find! 🤣
We’ve been told some things about tea “etiquette” but not the terms that you mentioned. We have been told that our mugs are too big, though 😜
@@FromtheHobbitHole
Around a half-pint is perfect! 😁
Ohhh Kita 😭❤️
Hey you guys, if you really loved the kinder happy hippo, you'll deffo love a kinder bueno 💕💗
Since making this video, we have been able to try the kinder bueno in a more recent tasting video.
@@FromtheHobbitHole yes, I've watched that video. Lol.
Galaxy chocolate when you tried that I think it kinda like I think you got dove chocolate? Which is what the British version of that is. We have dove here and it's a bath soap too.
Dairy Milk is Cadbury's flagship line, known for its creaminess as it contains a glass and a half of milk per individual bar. It tends to be used for the solid chocolates such as bars and the buttons. Whereas other products Cadbury make, that have alternative textures such as aerated or flaky chocolate use a different recipie that is richer and less creamy. Hope that helps!
That does help! Thank you!! 😊
I have have family in NE North Carolina about 1.5 hours from Pigeon Forge and they have a candy/general store in town
That’s cool! Hailey is familiar with the Pigeon Forge area as she’s been there once before. If we ever get down there again we will have to stop and check it out.
you really need to try the jam wagon wheel which is 100% nicer than the original .. great video
That sounds really good! Hopefully we can get our hands on one someday...
Your dog is sooooo cute
Thanks! We think so too 😁
Earl grey isn't suitable for a British try video, you need Tetley's or Yorkshire tea with milk. Also Cadburys line of milk chocolate is called "dairy milk" the dairy milk oreo bar is pretty much crushed Oreos covered in melted giant buttons
Sadly we didn’t have any Yorkshire tea on hand. We do need to get some for future tastings. Thanks for sharing about Dairy Milk and the Oreo bar! We very much appreciate your comment 😁
Hi. Kinder was produced by Ferrero and is therefore an Italian brand :o)
The Yorkie chocolate bar there advertising slogan was for truck drivers and only Man Chocolate back in the day! LOL They do have different flavours now..............
That’s quite the slogan!
if you get another wagon wheel try the ones with jam in them. you should also try wispa gold and freddo that is childhood for me
A wagon wheel filled with jam sounds yummy! We actually have tried the wispa gold and freddo in other videos 😁
what a beautiful pooch.
Thank you! 😁 Kita knows he’s good looking and tries to use it against us 😂
What a patient boi though...
Yorkies are so called, because the original manufacturer, Terrys, was based in York.
It's lucky their factory wasn't in another Northern town called Goole, because 'Goolies' is a slang term in the UK for testicles!! 😂😂😂
Hahaha! That is a good thing!! Thanks for the bit of info there too 😁
Dairy Milk is a brand made by Cadbury.
The striped yellow bag is called a pick and mix. Sweet shops in the UK commonly sell these mixed bags based on price. You will say can i have a (whatever price you want) pick and mix. You will then get random sweets to the value. Big stores and cinemas do a pick your own style. They come in 2 types. By weight and by container. By weight you pay based on how heavy it is. By container you get to put as much in the container as you like for a set price.
Almost all shops have the same selection of sweets gummies chocolates and sweets. The biggest and most famous supplier of these is called Candy King.
Also it's not recommended to leave your teabag in the cup while drinking.
Oh how fun is that! We have a slightly similar thing in which we can go to a candy store and bag our own loose candy pieces, but it’s not quite the official pick and mix concept.
And thank you for the tea bag tip. We actually are aware of that but we got wrapped up in filming and completely forgot. 😝
I couldn't agree more about cadbury Oreo. We love Oreos in England which is imo the best biscuit or cookie around and as your allies weve added our best chocolate to produce a sensational snack... nice video again btw it's nice seeing two genuine people reacting rather than people being over dramatic and pulling faces as if everything we produce is like marmite .
Thank you for your wonderful comment! We’re so happy to hear you like our style. We try to be as real as possible. 😀 So far, everything we’ve tasted has been good to some degree. But we’re really curious about this marmite now! 😉
@@FromtheHobbitHole be careful with marmite given you don't have a national health service over there .good luck guys ..
Hahaha! Thanks. When we get our hands on some we will be super cautious 😝
@@FromtheHobbitHole
With Marmite, caution is good, but be very sparing with it!
A little goes a looooong way, in the tasting stakes!!
Really good to know!! Thank you!
Kate and Alex sent me :) great to see others enjoying their boxes, have a beautiful weekend
Thank you, and welcome! We are glad you came over and said hi 😃
Kate and Alex are the best! Have a great weekend, too!!
You need to try after eights I love um but it depends if you like the mint chocolate thing.
One of us LOVES mint with chocolate! 😉
Dairy milk is Cadbury's flagship brand and it's very big.
We’ve been getting more things to try in more recent videos that are made with Dairy Milk so we are starting to see how big it really is!
I can't wait for you guys to get TH-cam famous so I can say I got in at 250 subs.
Hopefully that happens for us, and you! Feel free to tell your friends about us so we can get there faster 😁👍
@@FromtheHobbitHole your videos are high quality.
You don’t know how much that means to us!!!! We put our heart and soul into these videos ❤️
If you like Cadbury's chocolate, you should try Galaxy chocolate, it'll blow your mind :)
We just tried Galaxy for the first time in our most recent video, which can be found here: th-cam.com/video/GzSkErnJ410/w-d-xo.html
And you’re right...mind blowing! 🤯
You should try & get hold of Midget Gems, Coconut Mushrooms, Liquorice Allsorts, Munchies, Fry's Chocolate Cream, Sharp's Extra Strong Mints, Black Jacks & Fruit Salad chews, Sweet Tobacco, Pear Drops, Pineapple Cubes, Walnut Whip, Cadbury Milk Tray Chocolates, Double Decker, Jammy Dodgers, Orange Cream Biscuits, Ginger Nuts, Rich Tea Biscuits (for dunking!) Hobnobs (especially the chocolate ones!) Tunnocks Tea Cakes, Lees Macaroon Bars, Scottish Tablet! (drool!!!)........etc etc etc!!!
That is quite the list!! And the only item that we have had from that list so far is the Double Decker. You’ll have to watch through our other tasting videos to find us trying it as we can’t remember which one it was in. Lol 😝
Hey guys, not sure how available they are to you over in the States, but you should try British drinks. What we have are really different to what you have. Even same named drinks taste different
We’d love to try British drinks! We may be getting some sent to us in the near future!! 🤞
Just remember we're fond of our squashes/cordials, which need diluting before drinking, roughly 1:5 though adjust to taste - Vimto is a particularly good one & most things by Robinson's are pretty tasty.
If you want something really quintessentially British, keep an eye out for Bovril - it's far nicer than Marmite & pretty versatile, you can make it into a drink, spread it on toast or add it to a number of meat dishes to add extra richness.
Vimto sounds familiar. Here in the states we call drinks that need diluting concentrates since they’re in their strongest form until you add water.
Someone else mentioned Marmite to us and it made us want to try it. We definitely will keep an eye out for the Bovril. It sounds super interesting!
Quavers are found in the crisp isle in the supermarket so I would class them as crisps but we just call quavers quavers and crisps crisps lol
Lol. Good to know because we really weren’t sure!
We have Oreo here in Sweden. Kids love it. We even have Oreo icecreams, but Oreo is not my cup of tea!
We’ve seen a lot of Oreo mixed with chocolates at Sweetish.
@@FromtheHobbitHole we have Ballerina cookie and singoalla cookie here in Sweden made by Götebotgskex. Similair style as Oreo, but totalky diffrent. Maybe you can try those
A mere 7 for quavers? Grounds for divorce right there 😀 another lovely vid, love from the north of England. I hope you 2 get to come over, i suspect you would like our history as much as our chocolates
😆 Thank you! We’re assuming your a fan of quavers, are we correct? They were really good! ...and maybe we scored them lower than what they deserve.
We’d love to visit England one day! We are definitely fans of British TV shows like Downton Abbey and The Great British Baking Show (along with many others).
@@FromtheHobbitHole quavers are pretty good 😀 side note, the start of your vid didn't go unnoticed, excellent. I do hope you get to visit, im in Yorkshire, recently moved from York, worth a look on the web, historic roman city. There is so much to recommend, wispa, aero (mint) unfortunately I've just been made redundant, hence the move or i would gladly send you a box of goodies. Have a wonderful day and thank you for taking the time to reply
Ps, never watched downnton, LOVE bake off but then we all do, its very British 😀
Thanks for noticing the intro to the video! We had fun making it 😁
We’ve seen Yorkshire on another British show we like, Escape to the Countryside. Looks like an awesome place. If you ever want to send us anything in the future, message us on either Facebook or Instagram and we can talk details. Best of luck to you with unpacking from your move!
@@FromtheHobbitHole London is Amazing! But its a shame that more visitors dont travel north. Lovely walking here. Have a great day!
Although the name is German/Austrian, Kinder is an Italian ‘sub-brand’ of the brand “Ferrero”. So, it’s not British and therefore shouldn’t have been in the box.
See:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Happy_Hippo
How interesting! Thanks for sharing and even including a reference link 😁
From the Hobbit Hole
You’re welcome 😊
Daniele Iannarelli thank you. I have been saying this on several vlogs, but then I keep being told it is ours because we sell it which is ridiculous. It is like us saying just because we sell Hershey’s in the U.K it is ours. Which horrifies me as Hershey’s is terrible and should be banned for its chemicals. Dairy milk is just what we class as milk chocolate whereas sometimes there is more cocoa in the ordinary Cadbury’s but it has to have an even higher percentage to be classed as our plain chocolate and then again with our dark chocolate. The name chips is the original name and it comes from game chips invented in the uk to serve with roast game birds.
@@vickytaylor9155 Completely agree. That's interesting... so the American use of "chips" for "crisps" is actually the original British word for "crisps" in the first place? Is that what you're saying? Wow!
zilo
Ah, I see the art of ignorance still flourishes strongly...
Dairy milk covers all the Chocolate bars or their products and then there is dark chocolate and milk chocolate
Good to know! Thanks!! 😁
Gum here is apparently made from cows intestine. After the flavour leaves, it is like chewing on rubber not plastic.
How interesting!! Knowing that you aren’t allowed to use artificial/fake ingredients in your foods in the UK, it makes sense as to why cow intestine is used.
No, it’s gum arabica like always.
Hershey's chocolate contains butyric acid, which is essentially stomach acid, so it has a vomit like taste.
You’re the second person that has mentioned this to us. We never noticed Hershey’s chocolate having that kind of taste, but that could be due to us eating it all our lives. Though, Hershey’s isn’t the best American chocolate out there. Wilbur Chocolate is the best!
I like Hershey's. As a brit, Cadburys gets boring!
Oven bake contains less fat. Im sure you are aware of the many different teas available "clipper "teas even produce "unbleached" tea bags the red bush tea is very nice.
Honestly, we were not aware of those teas you mentioned 😐
@@FromtheHobbitHole Also green tea,white tea black tea and many variations on a theme with different spices. Some are from the stem rather than the leaf. I prefer those without the additives such as lemon and different berries etc: but like everything in life it comes down to personal choice but dont be afraid to try something new because thats the way i got hooked on red bush ...until i try something else different.
We definitely aren’t afraid to try something new! And we love tea, but only know so much about it. Thanks for sharing a little bit more about it with us! 😊
Just wondering - since you are fan of the Hobbit/LOTR, have you been to visit us here in New Zealand?
Sadly, no 😢 But we really want!!! It’s on our bucket list of places to visit!
@@FromtheHobbitHole If you ever do - you should vlog your trip - at least the LOTR related parts! I would love to see that!
We most definitely would vlog our trip!! Thank you for expressing interest in wanting to see us do that...it means a lot to us! 😁
Since you live in New Zealand, have you gone to the filming locations?
@@FromtheHobbitHole Yes a few of them - i came to live over here from the UK 9 years ago so i have done the touristy things. I think you would definitely love Hobbiton in Matamata in particular.
Hi guys, what you need to try is a bar of Cadbury’s fruit and nut
We haven’t tried that yet...so we agree!
we are allowed to use artificial flavours in certain things but it is heavily regulated and most are either illegal or restricted use. Kinder is German but is heavily imported by Europe.
You are the first person to mention that some artificial is used. Everyone always tells us that none is allowed.
@@FromtheHobbitHole By artificial I mean sweeteners in some drinks and stuff but yeah sweets generally are natural unless they're European imports even then it is low. Sorry if I confused you.
Hi
Thought you should be made aware that although (British) Cadbury’s Dairy Milk chocolate is available in other countries, it is made locally “under licence”.
Therefore, under such licence, there are often ‘tweaks’ to both the ingredients and the manufacturing process.
This can result in (often, in my experience, negative) variations in taste.
Hello! Thanks for commenting. We do have Cadbury in the US, but like you said, it’s under license to the Hershey Company. And, like you said, isn’t as good as the Cadbury we’ve tried through these British Candy Boxes.
Simplifying is usually the best answer. Even though some of those unique flavors can be fun and really good tasting, it stinks when they discontinue them if you actually liked it.
@Dermot O'Logical do you remember the Snow Flake was around for a few years then went away randomly
You can call them chips if you want it's just what you know them as your not offending anyone
Your comment means a lot to us!! Thank you for saying this!
Came here to say this, no one really cares but we're a nation of moaners so give us an opportunity and we will. Calling football soccer though is sacrilege, you've been warned! Good vid keep it up! x
Haha...thanks!
In 6-12 grade Nathan played futbol...football...eh hem...”soccer.” We definitely no the correct name of that sport 😉
I saw that again what was that furry black thing that walked past
Dairy Milk is a product of Cadbury.
You're right we don't add any artificial colourings or flavours. Also alot of our chocolate sweets and crisps are coming with alot less sugar and salt...we are a Wiley old bunch us Brits😂
It’s very refreshing having less unhealthy things in unhealthy foods!
@@FromtheHobbitHole don't get me wrong, we make up for that with our weird food combinations😂....pie sandwich being my personal favourite!!
Cadbury dairy milk is the standard chocolate bar that Cadbury's do. If you get anything that mentions "dairy milk", it'll be the same chocolate as they use in those bars. If it doesn't say it, it'l be a different chocolate recipe
Your explanation was very helpful! Thanks for making everything really clear and easy to understand.
@@FromtheHobbitHole All Cadbury chocolate used to be the same recipe and Dairy Milk was just the name of their regular milk chocolate bar. However, around 15 years ago they decided to turn Dairy Milk into an umbrella brand for many of their products (including Cadbury Buttons which became Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons). From then on, any products with the Dairy Milk brand used the original Cadbury recipe, and anything without it started using a different (cheaper) recipe. So what used to be the distinctive Cadbury taste is now the Cadbury Dairy Milk taste. It was basically a way of introducing two different tiers of chocolate recipes. Hope that makes sense!
All of that made sense! Thank you for sharing all that great info!! It’s nice that they still kept the original recipe in some fashion instead of throwing it out all together.
Oh how very British making cup of tea. How typically American leaving the teabag in the cup!
We do love tea! ...and we do know better than to leave the teabag in the cup, but with being wrapped up in making the video we completely forgot to remove it after it properly steeped 😝
Your home looks like a film set
Thank you! That’s quite the compliment 😊
@@FromtheHobbitHole as if you just said to the set designer "I want a homely corner" it was your cute dog that convinced me you were at home.
You've quite the decorators eye. Homely with that feminine touch.
I've just discovered you tonight on a cold and stormy night in Scotland. So your videos will keep me entertained for the rest of the night.

Weekly weekend visit to town for all of my childhood involved me going to the sweet stall in the market and getting a quarter of Dolly mixture for 40p the little squares were like gold dust. I didn't like the brown ones.
That’s a great childhood memory! Some of those pieces were definitely better than others
They've changed the recipe a bit. 😔
kinder is German and was introduced in 1968
Im from the UK . You need to try a Turkish delight
We recently tried Fry’s Turkish Delight
@@FromtheHobbitHole what did you think of it . It's one of my favourite
Cadbury are an American owned company
It did start as a British company and through a buyout is now owned by Kraft, which as you stated is an American company.
I don't actually know anyone that drinks Earl Grey ~ Yorkshire Tea is the usual brew. ~ Dairy Milk is made by Cadbury.
We were given a list of teas that would be good to have, and though Yorkshire tea was on that list, the only tea we had in our cupboard from the list was Earl Grey. Next time we’ll see if we can get Yorkshire tea! Thank you for clarifying that Dairy Milk is Cadbury 😁
@@zilo2322 Haha! If it's what you enjoy... I'm not a tea drinker.. Recently I've been trying fruit/herbal teas.. Trial and error.. Pukka, Echinacea and elderflower tea. I'm liking. For now
From the Hobbit Hole
It’s coffee for me...
Dairy milk and Cadbury is the same cadbury is the company that make it dairy milk because it's made with real milk
Thank you for explaining that to us! 😁
Having tried some American candy I am not sure I like the amount of corn syrup used. I believe it is meant to be quite bad for you.
Corn syrup isn’t horrible when used in moderation. But, the fact that it’s a a LOT of things here in the US, that’s what makes it so bad. We bought a bottle of honey one time that had corn syrup in it...HONEY!! It should just have honey in it!! 😟
... And don't get me started about GMOs - also banned in Europe...
Try irish snacks
We would love to! We both have Irish heritage ☘️
Do you know of an Irish subscription box company or any other way we could get our hands on some Irish snacks?
I think you need to know that English tea has milk in it. Drinking it black is a SIN. A SIN I SAY.
😱 oh no! Lol. We will definitely have to make sure there’s milk in our tea next time 😉
@@FromtheHobbitHole generally if you like it sweet add a tea spoon of sugar, and a small amount of milk to turn it slightly paler and it's great.
Sacreligious Sausage i only really have tea to dunk biscuits in and I still have to make the tea with milk and sugar. Black tea seems so wrong 😷 ha
Only a tiny splash of milk! Milky tea is horrendous!
Dairy milk is just plain milk chocolate
Good to know! Thanks 😁
Most UK snacks use real fruit juice
We like that about UK snacks.
I enjoy your videos and reactions to British Candies. One of my Uncles was a Journalist until a very series accident ended his career. He still has all his old Journalist Friends and his old contacts. He told me something yesterday which should GREATLY worry All Americans. One of his old contacts told him that some American Companies that make the Sugar you buy are putting Micro Plastics in their Sugar. That is VERY Dangerous. It can cause multiple Health Problems and Death. All your Sugars 'Should Be' tested and the Companies doing that should be shut down and their Board of Directors imprisoned.
Interesting... 🤔
From the Hobbit Hole. The good news is...If you were one of the People who bought Sugar with Micro Plastics in it, you could Sue that Company for a hell of a lot of Money.
Good point. Hopefully we won’t have to worry about that, but it’s always good to be mindful of it.
