Iâm south african too and when they brought up Dove I was confused, because dove makes soap not chocolate đ
Yes bru, I was tripping on that as wellđđ.
Same in Spain
Same in Czechia (and the rest of Europe probably)
in Portugal too
Ikrrr
In Portugal the ice creams we call it OLA like South Africa, and DOVE is a soap ;)
Dove is soap in the UK too, I'm surprised they didn't mention it. Dove chocolate does not sound appetising to me!
@@hannahk1306 right? I was like "why are you eating soap?" until I realized it's a chocolate đđ
Dove is a soap in South Africa too
In Austria we call the ice cream brand Eskimo

That girl from South Africa is so positive and fun to watch. Loving her vibe!
South Africa does not have only English as an official language , of course the accent and some words are different , there are 11 if I'm not mistaken, I'm not used to the accent or words from there, but it's good to see people from there on the channel to learn
We have 11 official languages here in South Africa, you're correct. But there are also people from different parts of the continent and world.
My barber is from Burundi, as well as some other folks I know, people from Madagascar and other French speaking countries in Africa, so there are people who speak French here. There are lots of Arababs, so Arabic is also spoken here. I'm Muslim, and a lot of learned Muslims (like Sheiks and Imaams) speak Arabic. There are Indians, Chinese, people from Portuguese speaking countries (like Angola or Mozambique).
It's not just South African languages spoken here.
But then how do people communicate. Do they just all know 11 different languages?
@@thetragicghostking. Most people can speak English, albeit to varying degrees. However, it also depends on the area.
In one area English and Afrikaans are the dominant languages, other areas, just by reading the names of the places you can tell that Afrikaans is the main language. Then you'll find areas wherein mainly Zulu or other "Black languages" are spoken. So it really depends on the area you're in.
But to be perfectly honest with you, you can live here in South Africa by only speaking English. The vast majority of South Africans can speak English, as a 1st 2nd, 3r, or even 4th language. As Henri correctly stated in his initial comment, we have 11 official languages here, so the vast majority of us here speak more than one language, which often includes English.
Really, wich really matters is that south africa is anglophone country.
12 if you count sign language.
Interesting that in South Africa all soda is also coke. In the American South we also call all sodas coke, which can lead to the fun exchange:
"What would you like to drink?
-Coke
What kind of Coke?
-A coke coke"
(meaning a normal coca-cola as opposed to say, a sprite)
Not all soda, but all coke soda (dark ones), whether it's Coca-Cola, Pespi or other smaller brands. For example, we don't call Sprite coke. Instead we call all soda "cold drink".
No she's wrong we don't call all soda coke. We say cold drink
@@InfoHubZA yet we also actually don't say "cold drink" but rather "cool drink" when we actually say it out loud.
@@smileprincess6834 we use both "cold drink" and "cool drink". But I hear a lot more people just say "drink" nowadays, or just specify Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Oros đ
@@InfoHubZA Igroovie?
I've had Hershey's in South Africa. I saw it being sold at a store and was curious. Worst chocolate I've ever tasted đ I'll stick to the usual top deck thanks
đđđ
So true. As an Aussie itâs so bitter and almost burnt
We do have some Hershey's chocolate products in South Africa, unfortunately the majority of the products are quite expensive due to them being imported from the US
Way too expensive
i stayin SA and it is expensive
As Indian i can Mostly relate to the with south African
In Portugal we call the Ice Cream brand "OlĂĄ", which means Hello haha
The Dove one had me shook, when you started talking about chocolate, all I could think about was Soap and creams
Dove is soap and nothing else
@@mthunziphakathi4215 here in the US itâs chocolate to
Dove is just Bath essentials in India too
@@mthunziphakathi4215 Yeah, and ointment and stuff! Here in Belgium too!
Funny thing is - it's soap in the US too. I had it Google it once to see if one company decided to brand themselves on hygiene and chocolate LOL, but alas, they are two different parent companies
It's funny, in Belgium we do the same thing as in South Africa. We use a popular brand as the slang word for all of that stuff. Like, a pen could be called 'bic', glue could be called 'pritt', diapers are also called 'pampers'... That's in Flemish (Belgian Dutch) slang though, I don't really know if they do this in French-speaking Belgium too.
Speciality stores will sell imported Hersheyâs in South Africa at crazy prices. On a side note, I found Lucky charms cereal from the states at like R200. My son is soo excited and totally rationing it.
South Africa has a lot of Englishes. There's always words that's being left out cause they used by different communities or in different regions. The brand name thing is true though đ
Like here in Durban we call fizzy drink minerals lol
@@dionlinda6737 đđđ ahh another Durbanite đ
In Jamaica, it could be frosted flakes, coco puffs, lucky charms, we call them all cornflakes đđ€Ł
Hahaha In Germany itâs the same!
Im south african and when they said dove i thought they meant the soap, and when they started talking ab chocolate i was SO confused lol
I live in South Africa so when they said dove was chocolate I was so confused because dove chocolate is not in South Africa I thought they meant dove lotion and soapđ
Wow, this has been the wildest video I've seen on this channel thus far. I'm also named Christina & also from New England, so it was super interesting to hear all of these brand differences.
SA should consider it's self lucky that Hershey's vomit food never invaded it's shores :)
YES!!
We do have Hersheys it's just very pricey and sold in certain demographic areas.. lol
And we have most of the Coke Variations...We have Coffee infused and one point and vanilla Coke to..We have coke zero,light, Diet Coke with stavia (sp)
We have Hersheyâsâs but they are like r200
Wait, as an aussie I was confused because I thought dove was a Deodorant brand... it is, I just checked but I have never ever heard of dove being chocolate
It is and has always been a Deodorant or a bird
I thought it was soap and Iâm an Aussie
@@Bestiebooboogurls I think it's both... maybe
@@elie1468 I googled it and itâs called galaxy in Australia but Iâve never heard of it
@@Bestiebooboogurls neither
Same
Do one with Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, British, and Americans
I need a moment to appreciate the outfit Lauren is wearing , it's very good , perfect mix of white and green , green probably her favorite color as well as mine đđ€
Agree
In the shopping stores, I see a lot of Green. đ
@Ralphomatic Wood The one from the UK
I get mad excited whenever I hear "in South Africa..." đ
đ€đ€đ€
In India cornflakes are usually called Cornflakes or Kellogg's and we have Chocos too so we call it that. And regarding the Good Humour, Ola thing we call it Kwality Walls, that's the brand name. Dove chocolate is something that I've never seen but if you look at the texture it looks like what the British girl said, it's called Galaxy here as well. For us, Dove is more of a shampoo and soap brand.
last time i checked, we donât have frosted flakes/frosties in south africa (or at least in cape town where iâm from). whenever i go overseas, itâs literally my favorite thing. i wish we had it here
We do have Hersheys in South Africa thoughđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łthey just sell them at importing candy stores
Ok, y'all, did some Googling on the Chocolate-Soap conundrum...
Dove Chocolate was created in Chicago in 1939. It became wildly successful and was eventually acquired by Mars in the 1950s. Mars decided to keep the branding as "Dove" In the US, but then created their own Galaxy branding for distribution in the UK and other countries.
As for Dove Soap, that was invented in the 1940s by an American chemist and became a company in the mid-50s, around the same time Mars bought the chocolate. Seems to be a situation of two separate brands that rose to prominence at the same time in completely different industries.
Yeah I'm from South Africa and we just call it coke unless you're looking for a spesifiek type then we would say diet coke
In the UK and Cyprus I love Paprika flavored crisps!! Also love chocolate covered Digestives!!!
In Germany Paprika is the most common flavor regardless of brand (besides simply salted ones). Itâs as prevalent here as salt & vinegar flavored chips in the UK or bbq ones stateside. I remember being shocked that there are no Paprika flavored Pringles when I moved to the States đ
It's interesting how globalised firms keep the name of the brands they buy in those contries.
In Australia most places donât have frosted flakes or hersheys they arenât very popular
Also we have lays chips as well they are two completely different brands
In South Africa we say Coke Light. Funny enough, if the brand becomes synonymous with a particular product, the product in question will be forever known by that brand's name (as well as the given product name, like Bakers' Lemon Creams) regardless of whether it's produced by a different brand. The brand Sparletta produces a wide variety of flavoured brightly coloured soft drinks, including but not limited to: Sparberry, Pineapple, Gingerbeer and Cream Soda. The Cream Soda version is so popular that with it's distinctive green colouring, nobody even calls it a "Sparletta" anymore, cuz the only other brand that makes Cream Soda here is Frankie's, but it's not nearly as widely popular as the Sparletta version, it's like we don't even need to see the label, cuz if it's bright green and near the Cokes, it's most likely a Cream Soda. The Sparletta Gingerbeer flavour is branded as a Stoney. Regarding Coke Zero, when it was first introduced it was branded as "Coke Zero" or "Coca-Cola Zero", but the name "Coke Zero" has stuck despite them rebranding to "Coke No Sugar". We do often generalize the Coke flavours as just "coke", but there is a large group of people with diabetes and/or high blood pressure, so Coke Zero and Coke Light are often specified as well.
I don't think that works with everything though, 'cause like, if I ask for Ultra Mel and get given some other brand of custard, we're gonna have some issues
You gotta try Lay's lightly salted in the light blue bag.
The regular ones in the yellow bag taste too greasy and oily since they switched to a "healthier oil" to cook them in.
The lightly salted are perfect for getting more of that potato flavor.
in Australia we also have coke zero which i see more than diet and i have also seen galaxy chocolate aroud and never dove and dove is a soap brand, i think the galaxy/dove chocolate is mostly imported from us/uk same with hersheys.
Coke , Diet Coke , Light Coke , Sprite , Soda , Fresh Drink , Soft Drink , Cooler , Refrigeratory , too many words actually , i also can say just "Coca-Cola"
I just call it Cola
I'm a Pepsi drinker so I just call it Pepsi lol đđ I do love Vanilla Coke though đâ€ïž XxXxX
i call it cold drank
In Brazil we call it Coke Zero and it comes from zero sugar, the can is also different, it's got black accents instead of white. There used to be light and diet cokes but I haven't seen one since the early 2000s...
"Coke, for us is coke, no matter what the kind of coke, coke is always coke". Underrated thought N phrase đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€đđđđŒđŒđŒđŒđ
So accurate. In New Zealand coke is coke too. We have alot of different types of coke but in general conversation it's just called coke.
That Ice cream logo we have the same in Sweden but we call it GB Glace
Heartbrand Ice Cream is owned by Unilever and they use the local Ice Cream brand they absorbed in each country
Good Humor, Walls, Ola, Streets ... But also Tio Rico, PingĂŒino, Miko, Frigo, Eskimo etc. etc.
In Peru we have Coke Zero. We used to have Diet Coke but for some reason it went away when Coke Zero came.
From NZ a brand that represents us is the Witherlea hills wine hand made in Blenheim (Where I used to live!)
Interesting! Iâm not a Kiwi myself but I worked for some time in NZ & Iâd have said L&P or Whittakerâs straight away. But being German I rather drink beer than wine đ even though NZ has some great wines!
In Dutch the icecream is called Ola as well and together with Luxembourg, Belgium and Portugal (OlĂĄ) weâre the only ones in Europe as thereâs a looooot of names. Frisko, Frigo, Langnese, Miko, lusso, Eskimo, GB Glace đ
Tbh the only way I got a Hersheys bar in South Africa was in the candy/slushie section in the willy Wonka part at Carnival city
The ice cream brand is Ola in Belgium too!
U.S- Good Humor
U.K- Walls
Australia-Streets
South Africa- Ola
but for us Filipinos, its "Selecta" xD
Here in germany it's langnese. How strange that it's different everywhere
Just like in South Africa, it used to be common here in the southern USA for people to call any soda a "coke" no matter which brand you were talking about. Younger generations don't really do that anymore. It's more likely that one would ask for a "cold drink."
Most Louisianans I know say cold drink. My grandparents were from Alabama and they called all sodas as âdrinkâ no matter what kind it is.
In Mexico, Lays is Sabritas. Frosted Flakes is Zucaritas (meaning the sugary ones đ) The ice cream is Holanda (no h sound) similar to South Africa
I'm an Aussie and this was so fun watching
It's interesting how brands market differently in each country~ Definitely learned something new! -Christina đșđž
Loved the video , your return has been great , hope for more đđșđžâ€
Lays bought quite a few potato chip brands from around the world and just kept the same names in those countries while having the logo all basically the same. I just wish they'd make some of the flavors from each country available everywhere.
You are awesome đ
We French đ«đ· and Europeans đȘđș rather say coca not coke đ Christina
in the uk for the juice we also call it fizzy juice
Good humor đ so funny and low. I never heard of Streets in Australia or may be i missed. Walls yes. Definitely.
Streets is the brand with that heart shape logo design. All the single wrapped ice creams you'd buy from a corner store are generally that brand.
@@emmah3 Too bad I can't remember i had a single ice cream in Australia when i studied there for 4 years! All i remember was Home Brand XD. Im from Malaysia. That red love logo is written Walls instead. No Good Humor though....No Good Humor XD....
Australia does have streets, like the cornetto i think thats streets.
Iâm from the south, everything is coke except sprite. Sprite is sprite
yes sprite is different đ€Łđ
But what about Fanta and Appletiser?
SA has Hershey's now, it's just not sold on the same commercial level as Cadbury, Lindt or Ferrero Roche
The ice cream one is so interesting, it has so many different names in different countries. Here in Austria we call it Eskimo and in Germany it's called Langnese. As a child I used to eat almost all their ice creams and popsicles, but these days I mostly only get a Magnum, Twinni or Cornetto.
We have an ice cream called Eskimo in the USA too.
in india we call it kwality wall's. so yeah ig it has a lot of names for different countries
In Sweden itâs GB glass đ
in the Netherlands it's called Ola
In Turkey itâs called Algida!
As an Australian, I only know dove as a soap or moisturiser and we do have galaxy chocolate here
Wall's was founded in 1786 by Richard Wall, when he opened a butcher's stall in St James's Market, London. In the 1900s the business was led by Richard's grandson Thomas Wall II. Every year the company had to lay off staff in the summer as demand for its sausages, pies and meat fell, so in 1913 Thomas Wall II conceived the idea of making ice cream in the summer to avoid those lay-offs
This is what these brands are called in Israel.
Diet Coke/Coke Light: Diet Coca-Cola
"soda"/fizzy pop: "cola" if it's coke or Pepsi, but we use our words for carbonated or soft drink for any other kind. Soda is something completely different and I don't get why Americans confuse coke with soda XD
McDonald's: McDonald's, no nickname
Burger King: Burger King (very unpopular tho, we only have 16 locations)
Dove/Galaxy: I've seen Galaxy but it's not popular at all.
Hershey's: we do have it but it's very rare and considered as an American exotic XD
Lays/Walkers: "Tapuchips", it's our combination of our words for potato and chips. Not sure why they didn't call it Lays here too.
Kellogs Frosties/Frosted Flakes: Frosties
Good Humor/Walls/Streets/Ola: "Strauss". It's called that because the branding rights were bought here by a huge company called Strauss
The reason for the different ice cream brand names is that they were all different companies that got bough up by British Unilever. They get to keep their original name but get the Heartbrand logo to show they are all connected.
The Good Humor name came from the belief that a person's "humor", or temperament, was related to the humor of the palate (taste). So the idea was that the ice cream made you happy and less angry. They are apparently the first who came up with the idea of having ice cream on a wooden stick.
Do some germanic languages (English, German, Afrikaans, Icelandic, Norwegian) comparison
For Switzerland (Swiss German):
Diet Coke: Coca-Cola Light (full name), but usually we would just say Cola Light or Coci Light
Soda: SĂŒessgetrĂ€nk (translates to sweet drink)
McDonalds: McDonalds (Full name), but usually we just say Mac
Burger King: Burger King
Dove: I donât think we have that here. We have all the Swiss Chocolates. Here Dove is a brand for skin care, soap and such things.
Lays: I donât think we have them here. We have Zweifel instead.
Frosted Flakes: Frosties
Good Humor: Lusso
Dove is also a brand for skin care here in US.
In Germany, itâs the same as with our southern neighbors. Only we usually say MĂ€cces or Mecces for McDonaldâs and the German heart brand variation is Langnese. Also funnily enough, at least where I live, weâd usually say Softdrink but everyone would understand the Swiss German word which is actually more German than the German German word đ However, Coci light Iâd never have guessed as Cola đ We do have Lays but itâs not as popular as other brands like funnyfrisch, Iâd say.
Dove is also a soap in South Africa
As a South African here are some "corrections" (she's not necessarily wrong just maybe forgot a few things/calls things by less common names)
-Popular South African brand I would say is Nando's
-We call diet coke coke light, when someone asks for a coke at a restaurant they will always give you a regular coke. You would have to specify that you want a Coke Light or a Coke Zero
-We call frosted flakes frosties, I don't know anyone who would call them just Kellogg's and I'd imagine most people would be a bit confused if you were to ask for "Kellogg's"
-The heartbrand is Ola and the do make ice cream called "Rich and Creamy" (which is not expensive)
I would just like to add that throughout South Africa we have different dialects and so while what she is saying may seem confusing to me, they could easily make more sense to someone from where she is from
The ice cream brand is called Algida in Poland. Now I'm really confused why it's different in different countries.
Here in Portugal the ice cream brand is called OlĂĄ, just like in South Africa. OlĂĄ means "hello" in portuguese
I am curious... we have here, in Brazil, a company with the same logo. Its name is "Kibon". I don't know if it's a brazilian brand for the same thing.
And in spanish
@@its.me.khanyo in Spanish itâs spelled hola.
the good humor ones we used to call it selecta here in ph
In my country, Poland, as Lay's we saying it with english pronunciation, but we adding "y" on the end, it's like plural form in polish. To many english words we adding that "y", even if english word is alrwady as plural, we adding our plural form, for example to "chips" we use word "chipsy". :D
And, if I'm correct, Good Humor in my country is as Algida, it have the same heart symbol and I found that both are from Unilever, so.
Can you put more New Zealand people
Please
South African lady is spot on đđ
I'm not sure what they're talking about with the ice cream, I've never heard of any of those đ
Ola is the Dutch name Unilever uses for the brand.
On the Wikipedia page it lists 25 different brand names. And in Finland the logo is blue not red.
We have Lays in Australia, smiths is a different brand
In SA we have dove as a soap and as a funeral parlor đđ
Australia has dove soap too.
For me in Australia, it's
Coke zero
Fizzy/soft drink
Maccas
Hungry jacks
tf is dove chocoloate??? i've never seen that in my life
smiths chips
I don't think we have frosties in my city but I've heard of it in Melbourne
streets
Scenario [very true]
America: McDonalds
Britain: Mackie
Australia: Maccas
South Africa: McD's
[ROBLOX COMMUNITY] Databrawl: McDod
I think in mexico we have something like south africa because we would say "Holanda" the ice cream brand so its kind of familiar for me to hear "Ola" its almost the same so its nostalgic
Eso estaba pensando!
En España es Frigo, tienen un nombre para cada paĂs o quĂ©? Jajaja
Here in Greece, when we say soda, we mean sparkling water. All the sodas are called beverages, in Greek "anapsiktika". Also, Good Humor ice creams are called Algida.
It's Algida in Italy too!
New Orleanians (and plenty other south Louisianians) say âcold drinkâ [cole drank] when referencing soda. But, âCokeâ may also be used to refer to different kinds of soda.
Yes. Iâve heard people in and around NOLA say cold drink a lot. Itâs common. Also what people in other parts of the country call the median they call the neutral ground.
I live in South Africa and Iâve never heard of kellog for the cereal
Same
As an Aussie I can guarantee that dove chocolate doesnât exist in Australia itâs called galaxy but Iâve never heard of it
The only dove I know is moisturiser, soap, deodorant and basically bathroom stuff
Might be regional cause there's dove in wa
I'm also From S.A I call it soda cold drink or coke
where was this filmed ?
â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
I was so confused when they said Dove is a chocolate because I always thought it was just a shower brand.
Funny thing with the ice cream. It comes originally from Germany and there it's still called Langnese. The surname of the founder's biscuit company.
In Sweden we say "Donken" which translates to "The Donk". Which is of course McD.
I'm too
In Australia Lays And Smith Chips are different pretty sure unless I just go to asian grocery store too much
The whole thing about Hershey's process is not that it's "low quality" per se, regardless of cocoa solids in the finished product. It's the taste: their process makes something called butyric acid which gives it a very smooth, melty consistency but... for non-Americans not raised eating it makes it taste like.... sick. Butyric acid is also found in sick, so a lot of non-Americans who try it don't like it. I was raised on it and I no longer like it (too sweet in addition to the acid thing). The European method gets a slightly rougher texture but a smoother taste. (To me, anyway.)
In India Hersheyâs is seen as Luxury chocolate that people bring back from
Abroad and is seen as generally superior than Cadbury or Nestle. Plus Hersheyâs I feel is better anyway. Maybe it must European elitists Who always wanna compare themselves to America that say Hersheyâs is sick. Hersheyâs is amazing especially their âKissesâ and those Mini chocolates.
So what youâre saying is that itâs found in vomit (âsickâ as a noun = British slang for vomit). I had to look that one up.
@@StuartSimon Yeah I assumed he meant vomit when he said "sick", but I never heard it called that before.
Whyâs the image pop up after theyâve spoken about it?
Lol is it just me or when u saw the dove u thought about the soap đ§Œ đ
Good Humor comes from the idea of humours, the whole fluids that regulate health idea, but brought forward to the 20th century. Not that actual belief system, but that our moods are largely governed by our humours and those can be influenced by the palate. So a good humour is the result of something pleasing to the palate. In other words, tasty. A long way to go for that idea, but it was thought up in the 1920s along with crap like goobers lol.
POV your looking for a comment that isnât talking about South Africa
In the Philippines, we call the ice cream Selecta and dove is also soap/shampoo (:
Awesome đ
When they they were taking about the Herseys I was like what in South Africa we do but itâs a bit new
You guys should do one of these videos with an Indian person.
In indonesia we called mcdonald McDee without s.
Wait walls ice cream in SA called ola? Thats kinda same with either in netherland or german, I forgot but when I was teenager I went to those 2 countries and saw walls called ola (i forgot which one called it ola)
In the Netherlands its called Ola, I am not sure about Germany
@@rudyvb_braids2908 I guess it is netherland, I think it's diff in germany
@@firstofall21 yeah it's ''Langnese'' in german haha.
@@gruezi.miteinander3205 ah thanks for the info lol
That "heartbrand" logo belongs to Unilever, which has been buying well established ice cream companies in each country. In Spain, Unilever bought *Frigo* in 1973, but that brand existed since 1927. Nowadays has almost 30% of Spain market, as its major rival is the swiss brand Nestlé based in local *Camy* and *Miko* bought in the 60's, owns another 55% of the market.
Iâm Australian and for the cold drink we say cool drink
How is Subaru mate
FUN FACT: Burger King came to Australia only to find an Adelaide small business burger outlet trading under the name "Burger King". The mega franchise took the small business owner to court and expected to steamroll over the man and out of court with a victory. Burger King lost the case! In order to trade in Australia, Burger King had to spend millions on rebranding with a new name. In 1971, it settled on the name "Hungry Jack's". Years later, Hungry Jack's had violated a renewed franchise agreement by not opening a certain amount of franchises. In order to meet terms and conditions, Burger King went into partnership with Shell Australia, a subsidiary of Shell Petroleum, and opened joint Hungry Jacks restaurants built within Shell petrol stations. Hungry Jack's and Burger King, though one in the same, are in constant litigation with one another.
Australia is the only place in the world where Burger King is called Hungry Jack's.
Christina always looks som beautiful
South Africa: We just call this-
Australia: I'm sick of your shit, buddy
