When Hershey make Cadbury products in the US, to make it taste like American chocolate, they have to change the recipe by adding vomit and sadness.
there's actually an ingredient in American Chocolate called Butyric acid that is found in Vomit
@@NathansWargamesso they do use vomit in their chocolate!
😂
Americans are fat enough as it is - can you imagine how fat they would be if they had proper chocolate ?
I was in US in 1999, pre internet access for me and obviously well before social media.
I thought I was the only person who thought their chocolate tasted like vomit.
When Anna said crisps all us Brits thank you 😂
As a Brit i love the fact that kids in USA cant have a chocolate egg with a toy in it but can use a firearm.
That's because more kids are killed from choking when a toy blocks their wind pipe than are shot with guns.
@Basilona they don't choke in uk maybe uk kids have more sense
@@chris-ip4pk probably 1 child dies from choking to death every 5 days in the US. It's 1 every 3 months in England and Wales.
@@Weakeyedominant In 2022, the Gun Violence Archive reported that 1,676 children were killed in gun-related deaths in the US. Those figures include homicides, accidental discharges and more but do not include suicides. That is 22.95 deaths every 5 days.
@@sim5361yes but when they need to overthrow their government they can...whereas in the UK we just bend over so they can do whatever they want to us....
To make Vimto even more British i like to add a dash of Gin to it, especially before work.
😂😂😂😂😂
Its the only squash we buy in 2L bottles. And the mixed fruit contains blackcurrsnts.
Wait to they try Irn Bru and vodka
Iron brue is nice
Hahaha nice one or vodka 😂😂😂
"I dont like salt and vinegar" - that is a hate crime in the UK
Sense of humour shortage, Golem?
In more of a cheese and onion man myself but was all about the salt and vinegar as a kid.
I love salt and vinegar.... its my favourite flavour ❤🇬🇧
I don't like salt and vinegar and I'm in uk
It really isn't. Always been my least favourite because the vinegar is too bitter. Plus I once got it in a small cut on my lip as a kid. Give me ready salted, cheese and onion and any meat flavoured.
The secret is in the name.
Jelly babies are NOT GUMMIES, they’re JELLY.
And the white powder is cornstarch. It’s part of the manufacturing process. Where the moulding block is pressed into a slow moving conveyor belt of smooth cornstarch.
As the mould block is removed it leaves an impression of the ‘Babies which is then filled with a hot sugary fruit liquid which turns to jelly as it cools. The cornstarch is there to stop all those warm sugary jelly’s sticking together. Cornstarch doesn’t really taste of anything but it does stop them clumping together in the bag… that’s why it’s left on them instead of using powdered sugar, because if they got warm, sugar would probably get absorbed by the jelly babies and they would end up a big sugary lump.
I'm eating jelly babies as we speak.😋😋😋
Jellybabies (along with jelly tots and fruit pastels) used to be yummy, but now they have all become "vegan friendly" they are all rubbish. Maynards/Bassetts, dump the "vegan friendly" crap and bring back the original sweets 😡
If they don't like the texture wine gums or midget gems* would seem an option * and yes I know some makers are changing their name
You have to translate Jelly for them, in the US, Jelly goes in your sarnies. If you say Jello then I think that Anna and JT will understand.
@ Des-ie3nh
1970s called, wants it's narrow minded opinion back.
As someone from England, hearing an American call our tesco cola laces "gas" is absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂
Get back under your rock blue shite crab 🦀
Videos like this always make me proud to be British, like I personally invented these items 😂
Makes us lucky that we get to eat and drink these snacks whenever we want. Makes me happy to be British.
Especially if its a mars I live right across the road from the factory some times it will make the area smell like chocolate 💯
Haha snap! The cola laces make me laugh too because even looking at the packaging in the shop makes my mouth water.. 😂
...but you didn't...😂🤣
Al Pacaccino 😉
@JTReacts11 Don’t throw away the Jelly Babies… put them in a bottle and fill with vodka… leave for at least a month (shake gently every few days)… you’ll be AMAZED at the flavour of the vodka! Serve cold! You are welcome! 😋
Commenting to boost the comment so he sees it 😊
Delicious 😋
Wow, I've not done that since university!
Hell yeah! Jelly Beans work really well too!
Skittles work just as well if not better
As a person from the uk I have tried hersheys choclate and it honestly tastes like sick to me. I do think we have the best sweets (candy). The reason why I think Cadbury tastes so good is because they don't put in a bunch of chemicals and shit like the us products has.
Cadbury have started adding a lot more sickly Caramel ones, plus the only nut ones are Hazelnuts (cheaper variety, no doubt) to their tins of Roses chocolates, so we only buy Quality Street now. It's a shame really to have lost so many British favourites from Cadburys.
European chocolate is better than British. The EU bent over backwards to allow UK to use the word when the content of essential cacao was SO low in the British brands. But like the arrogant Brexiteers they are, they claim the UK everything to be better than the European variety. They are wrong.
Cadbury were great until they got bought out by, you gussed it, an American company.
Being from the States I've always thought Hershey's tasted like vomit and couldn't understand why anyone liked chocolate
Same. I also tried their cookies and cream drops by Hersheys 🤢 it’s like a powdered milk aftertaste.
Unusual fact about the Freddo choc bars is that the Caramel version used to be a completely different product using a licenced character Taz from looney tunes but eventually Cadbury dropped the license to re-brand it as a Freddo varient :)
Yeah and the frog faced fuck used to cost 5p now he’s worth 30p.. 😂
Really I've been having Freddos for 2p since 1997.
You're right... although I seem to recall they were called Tazzo?
@@epicmonkeydrunk freddo was about at 10p from launch & pure Cadbury chocolate the taz one's were caramel filled
@@edwardholmes91 it was just Taz I'm sure but you know what ppl are like, the freddo as it's called so ppl commonly called them tazzo's to keep similar naming convention & it just subconsciously over took that they were just "Taz" bars
Yes, the nanny state of America thinks kids cannot work out that Kinder Eggs' toys shouldn't be eaten. European states think semi-automatic guns don't belong in schools, but toys are alright. 😂
😁😁😁😁✌
From England here and actually, Those kind of toys are actually banned here in the UK.
@@catsaremylife8946 no there not you can buy them in asda
@@catsaremylife8946 Funny as we had some the other week and they all had toys in. (three pack)

Vimto is a soft drink first sold in Lancashire in the United Kingdom. It was originally manufactured as a health tonic in cordial form, then decades later as a carbonated drink. It contains the juice of grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants (not blueberries), flavoured with herbs and spices.
@@user-oy3yo7qe6o I like the blue lid one
Yep and I love the fizzy one.
Diluted Vimto is great hot or cold
I love the cordial, hate the fizzy.
Nice!
Fun fact: US chocolate contains Butyric Acid to prolong the shelf life of milk whilst transporting it across country, which is also found in vomit and Parmesan cheese. It’s why some American chocolate has a slight sicky aftertaste.
As a Brit , it is so funny watching you taste our sweet and savoury treats 😊 you should have tasted the orange flavoured Timeouts. Sad to say since UK Government was going to introduce a sugar tax, Companies altered their recipes. Our chocolate is nothing like it was a few years ago. I've stopped eating so many products because of it 😢
I know Cadbury introduced a lower sugar version, but I didn't realise the regular bars had changed? Having said that, I can't eat them as I'm coeliac and they're manufactured on a line that handles wheat, so they may contain traces... but buttons are ok!
They were amazing!
This is so true! Nothing is the same since the sugar tax. What did they do to panda pops 😢😢
I’m pretty sure there’s still the same amount of sugar in the regular chocolate that’s not the 30% less branded stuff. You just pay more for the original
They should have tried savory bacon walker crisis !
All the Jelly Babies have different flavours - the white ones are pear drop flavour. I love them - only problem is stopping eating them once a packet is opened. They are also made from natural flavourings and colours so it's sad that when Americans experience something non synthetic they dislike it !
Jelly babies are delicious 😋
You're getting Haribo jelly babies and Maynard's jellly babies mixed up. Maynards don't have white ones. Also you must be the only person to like the white haribo ones.
Wine gums all the way😊
@@jkasaunder228white haribo babies are the best, I agree. I love pear drops 🙂
@@jkasaunder228 I'm not - ASDA own brand do me , I don't know who makes them though. I like the blackcurrant best , then raspberry then pear drop. Less keen on the orange or lemon flavours and the limes are the worst ones !
The only possible reason as to why Cadbury is banned in America is that if it wasn't then our chocolate (Cadbury) would take their chocolate companies completely out of business it would be the only chocolate they would buy 😂
I had to look up the Cadbury thing. Apparently, Hershey's which makes Cadbury products in the US took an importer (Lets Buy British) to court. Hershey’s accused the company of infringing its brand trademark rights and importing U.K. products that were not intended for sale in the U.S. So you can blame Hershey's for your lack of decent chocolate.
They made a chocolate monopoly and eventually USA will prefer the sick scented chocolate 😩😂
With jews you lose!
Yeah, the Hershey's stuff tastes like the chocolate we give to dogs, doesn't have the body of British chocolate. And the insane amounts of sugar. We got that trade tied up nice and early, which is why the Americans tend to dump corn-syrup into everything whereas we drop crazy amounts of cane-sugar into stuff, it became the back-bone of the British Empire, led to British sea-supremacy as the Royal Navy were always up for a fight because they were pretty much always half-laced on rum.
As a brit I remember hearing someone say they pack out American chocolate with wax, everytime I eat American chocolate I feel like I can "feel" the wax hahaha.
British chocolate is elite because it Is chocolate, check the ingredients, it's literally just chocolate and no hidden shit.
The wax is to stop it melting when the ambient temp is higher.
@@Schnorbitz see, we don't have that here in the UK, if it melts then you haven't eaten it quick enough lol, our chocolate is literally just chocolate.
@@jufinda I’m UK too so win win!
Factually incorrect. British chocolate is packed full of shitty additives, and can't approach Swiss, Belgian or even German versions (available at LiDL for example)
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligencelidl choc is so bad its the same as cheap advent calendar chocolate
When my dad worked at an airport, they were allowed to take “snacks which were not purchased by the passengers. My dad said nobody would take the American chocolate as the taste was awful… The best chocolate in the U.K. is galaxy… It is so creamy… Absolutely delicious 😋
Galaxy my favourite too, ripples can be messy if you don't eat em with rite technique though 😅
@@yoyoyo3531 loool, yes they can be… Especially if they have gotten crushed on the way home… I sometimes get up and have melted chocolate on my legs and clothes… But, I just cannot resist Galaxy any thing… I’ve a bag of galaxy minstrel’s by my side lol… Galaxy is like mixing chocolate with cream… When it comes to chocolate there is NOTHING better than galaxy…
Cadbury is best
@@10thdoctor15 No way… Cadbury’s is like American chocolate, no flavour… I want creamy chocolate…
@@jane-bethc6790 There is loads of flavour. Have you only had American Cadbury?
Always put UK chocolate products in the fridge for a few hours before taste testing, as they are not made with the chemicals used in the US to prevent melting in higher temperatures.
That apply to every chocolate imho. Chilled and a glass of milk
Nope. Warm chocolate is best.

Shame about the jelly babies. They're not meant to be gummy, just a soft jelly/jello centre wrapped in a sugar crust and dusted with powdered sugar. Most people eat them by biting the heads off first, whereas I go for the feet first 😂 They're an instant energy hit! Different flavours too ( I adore lemon). Love your channel, guys! From Norfolk, UK
The coating, is representing Talcum powder.
I used to sell these in sweet shop, a lady would often asked for all boys, please. 😊
@@stephenlee5929 It's actually starch. My mother worked at bassets for about 30 years... I remember going on a factory tour when I was a kid, we were allowed to eat anything we wanted off the line. Warm, fresh jelly babies are amazing btw.... And the coconut discs with the liquorice centres...
Ilove the proper jelly babies my favourite
It's not surprising that the quavers taste reminds you of lays, they're part of the same group. Btw, I used to work in a key role working in a crisp (chip) factory producing Walkers crisps and we even created flavours such as chocolate, hedgehog, gammon & pineapple, roast beef & mustard among many others.
Not the feet 1st thats sadistic
Laughing at the reaction of jelly babies🤣 They are Doctor Who’s favourite sweets!
As someone who is addicted to jelly bebs, you got a bad batch. They're normally chewy but then melt into your mouth. The powder is sugar so they don't stick together if heat is around. Also, the fact you didn't give freddos atleast a 15 at minimum puts you in a hitlist in the UK
The powder is cornflour
@@brandywell44Actually it's starch.
I presume that all the items have been exposed to some high temps. As everything was melted or soft.
Being from Birmingham where Cadbury’s was formed, I had a school trip to their factory. BEST. DAY. OF. MY. LIFE!!!! Can’t believe our beloved Cadburys is banned in the US!!!😮
Me too mate, born in Handsworth. Everything about Cadbury's was perfect until greedy shareholders made the takeover happen. What happened then was a travesty. The new owners changed the recipe in the products to satisfy American tastes. I refuse to buy any Cadbury products now. Some better alternatives are available but with all the shareholder greed, more of our traditional, well loved products now taste like s**t. It's like when you burp and bring up a bit of sick - welcome to American chocolate!
To good for them my friend x
I hear they have little orange guys that make the chocolate there.
me too, great chocolate, I hear the US chocolate is inferior, I've not had much of it, some of the American brands are nice though
I used to go to school just across the road from Cadbury's, we got to go to the factory at the end of every school year and it was so much fun. Cadburys is the taste of my childhood
It's about time you guys took a trip to England!
You need to try Cadbury cream eggs. It’s an absolute must
They have them in the States. I saw them in Portland, OR in April 2014. A lot smaller than ours though, and America a don't do Easter Eggs, either.
They used to be until the yanks ra p Ed the sh it out of them.
Vimto is a soft drink first sold in Lancashire in the United Kingdom. It was first manufactured as a health tonic in cordial form, then decades later as a carbonated drink. It contains the juice of grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants (at a 3% concentration), flavoured with herbs and spice
And great when Vimto is used with hot water. Note: a cheeky Vimto is something completely different!
That texture is what makes jelly babies unique. It is weird I'll give you, but I suppose it's something you either love or hate. And it isn't blueberry in vimto it's blackcurrant, which is one of the basic fruit flavours used in the UK
From what I have heard, I think that in the US, they ban blackcurrant.
@@matryoshkadoll american foods:
Allowed: carcinogens
Banned: blackcurrant
Banned because the Yanks say they carry a plant disease, but really its because they taste better than blueberries and cranberries.
I love vimto as well. Better than Root beer from the US which is a flavour we use in mouth wash
I love the texture of jelly babies, the texture is kinda like Turkish Delight. Americans are so used to wine gums that the texture would seem too soft.
If you live in a warmish climate, its probably best to put choccy in the fridge for a while before you eat it.
I'm in the UK and the only place I store chocolate in is the fridge!
@@Ginger_Dalek some agree but it doesn't melt on the draw either lol
@@Ginger_Dalek I once left my chocolate in the cupboard and came back the net day to no chocolate left because it was 35 degrees. i have no idea how others homes in the UK are as roasting as mine because i HAVE to put the chocolate in the fridge
That’s probably what it is. In one of their other videos they had chocolate that was melting and JT had said he’d left the box of goodies in his car for 3 days.
They should put all of the chocolate and drinks in their fridge for at least 15-20 minutes before doing the taste test…. Nothing worse than melted chocolate and warm fizzy drinks. 🤢
Kinder German not uk.
I'm laughing out loud here. You discussing the kinder chocolate. Anna looking through the cardboard tube. 😂
British chocolate tastes different from American chocolate because in America, they add Butyric acid to the milk.
They add Butyric acid because of the distances between dairy farmers and to stop the milk going off.
It's starch powder on the jelly babies to stop them from sticking to your fingers!
Most children are kind, but German children are kinder
😂
😂😂 love this
Strange that kinder are originally Italian.
@@1968johnno oui oui
You clearly haven't been to Britain as most children here are definitely not "kind" - they're horrible little brats
Tesco is a supermarket like Target or Walmart, Cola laces are simply their own brand of candy. Not aware that Hersheys make Cadbury in the US! Cadbury used to be its own company founded by John Cadbury who was a Quaker. He set up his business in a village near Birmingham England known as Bournville and built the town itself as homes for his staff, creating a school, church and other amenities for his staff to be happy. The town still exists today and is home to the original factory which is now a working museum and factory and attracts tourists from all over. Cadbury was brought out in recent years by Craft foods who subsequently moved under a subsidiary called Mondeles as it wasn’t profitable enough, Mondeles then broke away as its own company and continue to own it today. Cadbury also encompasses many different brands from over the years including Fry’s who make Turkish Delight, Bassetts who make Jelly Babies and Liquorice all sorts and Schweppes who make various soft drinks. Bourneville is also the name of Cadburys Dark chocolate bar, they also do a high end high cocoa content product under the Green & Blacks brand. The difference between UK Cadburys and US Cadburys chocolate is obviously in the recipe, the melting point of choc in the UK is different due to climate being generally colder here so additional chemicals have to be added in order to keep it solid at higher temperatures additionally US pallets tend to be different so they change the recipe in order to make it likeable there in any case many of the preservatives and additives in US food are illegal in the UK. You are correct Hershey won the license to make Cadbury chocolate in the US in 1988
I absolutely vote yes to a podcast! I could listen to you guys chat about anything and everything!!
Little tip from the uk. Put yer chocolate in the fridge. Tastes loads better and not so melty😂
I've a feeling the jelly babies had been exposed to heat because they should be like Turkish delight in texture (the proper stuff, not the chocolate-covered bars made by Fry's). When exposed to heat they crystallise and go crumbly.
Vimto is blackcurrant flavour, which is common in Europe but used to be banned in USA as blackcurrant bushes spread fungus to white pine trees (native to USA but not so prevalent in Europe). Blackcurrants (and rose hips) were a good source of vitamin C in the UK during WWII.
Bullshit
They’re disgusting anyway I’ve always hated them and never quite understood how ppl can actually like them 😅
Unfortunately they have made jelly babies recipe vegan,hence why they taste absolutely disgusting now. Tried one last month for the first time in over a decade and spat it out
@@sylsuthss jelly babies have always been disgusting
Guys I love watching you two you are such a joy to watch...I'm not even a big fan of sweets (candies), but your enthusiasm, jollyness and pleasure is adictively wonderful ❤ 👍

As an Englishman trying US snacks I can't get over the fact you eat them most of your life given how heavy they leave you feeling
As one of your newest subscribers, I would like to challenge you and Anna to make a traditional Sunday roast with all the trimmings. That would be a really good video.
A Sunday roast cooked properly eg spuds roasted in beef fat , gravy made properly will be amazing, most people just do the basics on a roast and most turn out nasty and tasteless.

The difference in taste is because your dairy cattle is fed on grain and in the UK dairy herds are fed naturally in pastures on grass with hay in the winter months. Your butter is totally different too for the same reason.
I Visited NYC on holiday and tried the "Candy", so different, the Chocolate in the the states and other Sweets had definitely more additives in them changing the taste
European Children didn't choke on the toy in a kinda, it was just the fear American kids would 😄👍
Probably not as much the fear American kids would choke as much as the fear of “public perception” of it being dangerous. Especially since “The government is supposed to protect the public!”
Since they've been sold, ever - less than a dozen people, worldwide, have died from choking on the contents of a Kinder egg. In the USA, every year, more than 4,500 children are killed by firearms. So which should you be more afraid of?
It was the badly written US legislation intended to stop the adulteration of food - to prevent things like plaster of paris being used to bulk out flour and _intended to be eaten._
So they banned non-food items from bring _in_ food. The toy, being encased in the chocolate in its egg shell, makes an inedible item _in the food_ and so illegal.
Tesco is a british Supermarket chain that tried and failed to expand to the US ( they pulled out in 2013), the reason they failed in the US is complex
Wrong side of highway they catch people going to work. When they should of catch people going home from work.😮😮
@@kIdeoCash_TMGand that would be a good reason why. We don't have highways here, so you can access a property from both directions of travel. The concept of a building being on the wrong side of a highway and therefore inaccessible from that direction of travel is very alien to most people outside North America
If I remember right , Tesco in the US was called "Fresh & Easy" .
@@Hirotoro4692a dual carriageway is like a highway. And the motorway is like a freeway.
With sweets like the Jelly Babies, they make the molds by compressing cornflour into a block and then press a metal form into it, leaving the Jelly Baby shaped recess. After the jelly is poured in and sets, they vibrate them and most of the cornflour falls away, releasing the sweets. It eliminates the need to use a release agent that would normally be used to stop them sticking to the mold.
A late friend of mine used to do a fair bit of travelling across the US and he used to take several large bars of Galaxy Chocolate over from the UK. He said it was practically like a currency over there 🤣😜
Even though kinder is sold everywhere in UK, it's actually Italian chocolate ☺️
German, kinder is kid is german
@@CartineFC the name is German yes but the brand is actually Italian
The brand is Italian as its part of the Ferrero group. However, the chocolate is from Belgium, and its made in Luxembourg

Jelly babies are a life saver for Diabetes low sugar.
That should probably be worded a little more clearly:
Jelly babies can be a life saver for diabetics suffering from low blood sugar (jelly babies are incredibly high in sugar content, 3 jelly babies contain nearly 14g of sugar).
Always chill UK chocolates if doing taste tests in warmer countries, especially ones with gooey caramel in, makes it so much better. The cornstarch on the jelly babies stop them sticking together and spoiling quickly, I do get that they have a weird mouth feel, I believe that they changed the recipe though as they used to be super soft and squidgy but they're kind of firmer now.
To add jelly babies are less of a gummy and more of a jelly, clues in the name.😅
I lick their faces to see which jelly baby I have. 😂
I always thought it waspowder icing sugar not cornstarch
@epicmonkeydrunk you're not alone in your thinking but it's always been cornstarch, gives the jelly babies a much longer shelf life, they'd have just turned into bags of mush if it was icing sugar (they'd be a lot sweeter too)
@@sarahgreen692I always thought it was a mix of cornflower and icing sugar? I can't eat the proper Jelly Babies anymore, as I'm gluten intolerant... but M&S make a pretty good substitute! In fact, I almost want to walk 2 miles into town to go and buy some now!
It's funny watching this being British. My current absolute obsession is the fish and chips, omg I am truly obsessed lol xoxoxox
Fyi the powder around the jelly babies is corn starch , which is used to make the molds up for the jelly to be poured into to set.
Hi, Hershey tasted Cadbury's Chocolate. And found it to be 10 times better than there Chocolate. Then got it banned from America. As they where scared there sales of Chocolate would go down.
Yea read somewhere that Cadbury was out selling Hershey and other American chocolate and thats why it was banned
American company going 5 seconds without lobbying the US government to tighten their monopoly challenge (impossible)
How is it humanly possible to not like Jelly Babies?! 😯
I'll eat them if they're there, but never pick them for myself,
I have never liked them.
Hate them. And jelly beans. Eww
I believe is the flour coating mm
They are nasty
'lashing' comes from when lashing things together such as in bush craft when you tie things together (lashing), the term itself i believe ('lashings of cream' for example) is from when lashing a boat on the docks, it would be better to put more layers of lashing over the mooring to make the boat less likely to untie itself and float off, so it's just another way of saying 'lots of', 'heaps of' or (for comedic value) a 'metric f%$k tone'
although it first come about being used in terms of alcohol "lashings of whisky" which then brought about the slang term for being inebriated to quite some degree "being lashed" or going out to get drunk "out on the lash"
It’s powdered sugar on the jelly babies. They are jellies not gummy sweets. So they do have a softer texture, they’re really popular in the UK. There’s always a box in my Christmas shopping. The quavers are usually cheese flavour too. I’ve not come across the BBQ sauce which I’m not keen on BBQ flavouring. Credo frogs are usually for the kids. Kinder is a more European chocolate. The timeouts have changed too. They used to have a layer of flake inside sandwiched by the wafers. I’m not keen on them now. Cola laces are something I haven’t had since school. I used to love them. Vimto comes in squash form and ice lollies. It originates from Manchester which is where I come from. I grew up with Vimto.
Vimto is a mix of blackcurrant, raspberries and grapes. I find it tastes like American grape flavour which tastes very fake to most people in the uk.
Vimto does not taste like grape.
Blackcurrant is almost unknown in the US - nearest taste to it would probably be cranberry.
As a Brit i wouldn’t choose to eat jelly babies.
Vimto tastes like paint.
Vimto bars where my favourite as a kid, good for removing that loose tooth without grandads help
Love you giving your honest opinions, our tastes are built on our home culture so not surprised you don't like everything but at least you try it. I have tried American chocolate and to us Brits it's usually "nope tastes like sick". Keep it up you two and I hope one day you'll make it to the UK!
Glad you both liked the ‘fish & chip crisps’ they are my favourite too! 👍🏻👍🏻
Anna's reaction to the cola straws was hilarious. I've tried those. Tesco is one of of our main supermarkets. My family usually shop at another of the main supermarkets, Sainsbury's, just because it's closer.
The white powder on the jelly babies is starch powder. It's used as a releasing aid for the mold and is really a byproduct but also helps to stop them sticking together in the packet.
Thanks - I learned something today!
The starch is the mold. The baby shapes are pushed into a sheet of starch then the jelly is poured into the hole.
Mould is not spelled mold - we mustn't let English be corrupted by Americanisms! I've noticed a lot of Brits absorbing US English which is disturbing as most of them are functionally illiterate
Let’s spell it “mould” as it’s about food from the U.K.!!
@@stevea1903 yeah. Autocorrect is so annoying.
My Primary School teacher used to have a jar of Jelly Babies on his desk, if you did something well you got a smiley face and could have a Jelly Baby from the jar... except for the black ones, they were his 😂
Hmmmm. Don't think you worded that very well. For a second, I totally got the wrong meaning there.
Seen lots of these style video's they are always very entertaining ❤
So funny listening to you guys trying to pronounce our words 😂😂😂
Cadburys is now owned by Mondelez International an american confectionery company the british are not impressed as the chocolate tastes slightly different as they changed the ingredients but enough that we can notice it.
As for the jelly babies they are made of what Americans would call jello not gummy the powder is to stop them sticking together in the packet because they are jelly if it was gum there would be no need for powder coz gum is a harder consistency try them again with jello in mind
That is why Cadbury tastes nothing like it did in the 50's and 60's.
When did they change the ingredients? They changed the chocolate around creme eggs but that's it afaik
I just had a bar of Cadbury's chocolate, and I noticed a definite taste for the worse. It's like it has chalk added to it. It is not as smooth as it used to be.
@FilmSetView for sure I prefer Mars and nestle or better yet Lindt Lindor oh I can't stop once I start a box of them I wonder if they are available in america
They have never changed the dairy milk recipe. It's always been the same. They made ONE change to the chocolate around the Creme Egg, as I said in my previous comment, but the Dairy Milk hasn't changed a shred.
That said, chocolate can go stale and quality can change if exposed to heat, which might be why some people think they can taste a difference.
The rest is purely psychological.
My friends mother drew the original Freddo design (and that of Dairy Box chocolate too). My friend did many of the Harry Potter scene paintings too. My friend and her mother are extremely talented artists.
My friend's grandfather invented a rocket ship, and my other friends mum invented a device that saved millions.
My dad won the lottery and my brother single handedly prevented WW3.
Claims are easy to make :)
@@Hirotoro4692 my friend, her name is Beth D'Arcy. She did the artwork for the first movies and also at Warner Bro, Leavesden. I happened to live in the same area at the time, and we became friends having met at a local pub. She gave me a VIP tour of the studio and whilst I have no interest in Harry Potter, I was astonished at the level of detail on things I wouldn't even notice in a film. Again, you can prove me wrong, and call me out for making untrue claims.
Mate, not everyone is as you are. Some of us are proud of the achievements of others.

The classic fizzy cola flavour of these types of candy are usually very similar. Haribo's fizzy cola bottles are pretty much exactly the same thing. If you wanted a drink version of the Haribo cola bottle, there is Fentimans Curiosity Cola.
I am pretty sure uk Cadbury's products are not banned in the US, its just that there is a massive import charge. During Easter, you can buy UK made chocolate eggs, for a cost. Also Quavers were the UKs 1st non crisp (chip) type snack, launched in the 60s. The best flavour is definitely cheese.
Vimto's original name was Vim Tonic (shortened to Vimto). It was originally sold as a healthy drink as part of the temperance movement of the 19th century.
I love your taste videos and Annas' laugh is awesome - guaranteed to put a smile on anyones' dial😁💖😁
"what's a tesco?" , that's like saying "what's a Walmart" in the states
lmfao
The reason why UK chocolate tastes so diffrent is because the chocolate is made with pure whole milk. There is no preservatives added to the milk. In the US because the milk has to travel over a large distance to reach the destination they add preservatives to keep it fresh. In the UK that doesnt happen for 2 reasons, 1 its against our food standards and 2 there is no need as dairy farms are readily avaliable close to the manufacturers.
I love Vimto. If you were brought up in North England you more or less have to .
Yeah vimpto is all I drink but the dilute one
Scotland here, I love Vimto! I used to buy a slushie vimto drink from a local shop, shit was epic
I love Vimto too it’s so good
As a child, sitting in a pub garden, with a packet of Smith’s Crisps, and drinking a bottle of Vimto, through a drinking-straw - sheer happiness! 🥰
"Mackey-Vimto" used to be a pub drink in the Midlands in the 70s. It was a Mackesons stout topped off with a can of Vimto.
Nice for a change, but I couldn't drink a lot of it.
Took my boys to an American candy store we have here in England. Spent about £50 on a bag full of their choice. They got home, tried one thing, won’t touch the bag again 😂
its the Butyric acid they add to american chocolate, its literally a chemical found in human vomit
😂😂
It must have been a Hershey product. 🤢🤮
Same with me. Took my girls to an oldskool American candy store and they didn't like anything they tried 🫤 I ended up taking the bullet caus I hate wasting money but damn a lot of it was just weird tasting 🤷
Fifty quid? You must have been sick those two sweets were not nice.
Thanks for correcting him Anna, I don't think they'd keep very well if someone sent you chips 😅🤣
You’d need lots of vinegar on ‘em! Pickled chips - now there’s a thought! 😁
@@MrPercy112 imagine that...😂
the white powder on your jelly babies is actually starch (cornflour I think) which is used to aid the release of the jelly babies from the mould...so its just starch left over from the manufacturing process.
The bottle Vimto is more popular in the UK it is sold as a concentrated juice which you add water to I don't drink the cans myself if anyone sends you a bottle don't drink it neat add water or 7up or sprite to dilute to taste you have to remember the snacks your tasting generation of people have eaten these from a very young age that's why people here like them.
Time Out is probably my fave from that list though Freddo and the Cola straws are really good as well. Regarding the Cola straws, you used to be able to get something similar but it came in variety of flavours, covered in sugar and usually found in sweet shops/local shops - they were brilliant as were Cola Bottles, sugar covered Cola Bottle shaped sweets that also came in Cherry flavour and can still be found in places
In the UK we use gelatin on sweets like Jelly which is animal fat and not the sugary gum you'd expect it to be. The white powder is raw icing sugar.
I found it interesting that one of you referred to the Walkers crisps as being "similar to Lays" as they are the same product. Walkers crisps in the UK are known as Lays in Europe and the US. Quavers in the UK are usually cheese flavoured, I've not seen any of the BBQ sauce flavoured ones.
I notice one of you expressed interest at the concept of a chocolate bar being named Time Out as well. I'm aware that the phrase time out can mean a child is being naughty and needs to take a time out, but over here in the UK it can also refer to a break, time for a coffee and a snack etc.
I'm a big fan of chocolate and have tried american ones, including Hershey's, and it just doesn't compare with british or european chocolate. It just doesn't taste right. To avoid british chocolate and caramel melting it's normal to keep it in the fridge for a while first. And caramel isn't pronounced "carmel" it's "kA-rA-mEl"
Great video though, have a sub.
Love Anna's facial expressions.
Incidentally, Vimto contains blackcurrant, so maybe that's what she doesn't like.
I understand Blackcurrant is not a common, therefore popular, flavour in America
It is illegal
@ginger3269 The federal ban was lifted in 1966, though many states maintained their own bans. Research showed that blackcurrants could be safely grown some distance from white pines and this, together with the development of rust-immune varieties and new fungicides, led to most states lifting their bans by 2003. Blackcurrants are now grown commercially in the Northeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest. Because of the long period of restrictions, blackcurrants are not popular in the United States, and one researcher has estimated that only 0.1% of Americans have eaten one.
@@iandeare1 interesting. Most Americans I've met that have yried it in the UK like it.
They stopped making Burtons fish and chips some years back…. But they were brought back by popular demand. They also did chicken n chips…
I miss the chicken and chips flavour 😞
@@asseyez-vous6492Me too, they were great!
Banned! Back in 2015, Cadbury products, including the iconic Creme Egg, were banned from being imported into the United States. It all started when Hershey Chocolate Corporation filed a lawsuit alleging that Cadbury copied an already existing Hershey chocolate egg recipe of theirs.
“What’s a tesco” has me cracking up 😂
Tesco is one of the biggest supermarkets here in the UK, I imagine pretty similar to Walmart 😊
Walmart US is Asda in the UK; I think the 'US branch' of Tesco is still Tesco.
@richardrussell7082 Walmart is not ASDA, Walmart once owned them, but they aren't the same, and Tesco never made it in the US they shut down their supermarkets there as it didn't work.
No that would be ASDA.
@@TerryTheNewsGirl note that I said similar, not equivalent :) just a comparison.
I prefer asda or Iceland! If your from UK all mums go to Iceland🫶
Just watched your video for the 1st time. Loved it. Anna's facial reactions were brilliant. Tesco is a store chain over here that you can literally buy everything from your monthly food shop to clothes tv greetings cards, etc. Keep up the great videos and a big hello from across the pond
Vimto is better as a cordial (syrupy stuff you mix with water) than as a pre-mixed fizzy pop. The thing you couldn’t identify is a blackcurrant (which aren’t common in the US because they can carry a fungus that would be invasive there.)
Jelly Babies are made of jelly rather than gummy stuff, which is why the texture is weird; they’re definitely a love-them-or-hate-them snack.
They are called "Jelly" Babies, not "Gummy" Babies, that is why they are textured the way they are.
So here’s the thing - even though your reaction to the cola thingies made me laugh 😂 - if any UK sweets are ever described as ‘fizzy’, they’re almost certainly covered in that super tangy, sour coating. For example, you can get ‘Cola bottle’ sweets and ‘fizzy Cola bottle’ sweets. One is without the coating, and one with.
Do you have Wine Gums in the US? If not, you should try them. My fave gummy sweets. Also Fruit Pastilles 🥰
Gotta be Lions though. Maynards are weak. Looooooove Fruit Pastilles!!
Fruit pastilles went downhill after switching to their vegan recipe, they stick to your teeth so much and leave a weird aftertaste, wasn't like that before. They used to be my favorite sweets but not since the vegan switch
Cadburys rock !! As we say in England , " ya gorra keep yer cholesterol levels up " . Or in the Black Country where I live .. " yowl be jed if yo ate a bally full of that "
Bostin ay it. Yom god saft.

Love those, but they have so much seasoning that you might get chapped lips from eating them, especially the much larger bags. If you didn't like salt and vinegar flavour, you can pick up Mini Cheddars in various cheese flavours (and also a BBQ flavour), which are essentially the same thing.
In the 1970s, Tom Baker's Doctor was always asking people if they wanted a Jelly Baby, in a white paper bag from a sweet shop.
Jelly babies are fantastic
Vimto originated in Manchester; the factory was located on the corner of Sackville Street and Granby Row. There is a wooden sculpture on Granby Row, marking the site of the original factory. It depicts the ingredients, which, from memory, include raspberries, blackcurrants and vanilla pods. (Vimto moved out of the city centre about 1900). The fizzy canned version is not the best way to drink Vimto. Best is the 'cordial/squash' type (mentioned in another comment) that you dilute with water to your preferred strength. It's also great mixed with hot water instead of cold.
The thing about Jelly Babies is that you bite the head off first. It's a rule. Some people drink Vimto with shots of alcohol (like vodka and/or gin) to make a "Cheeky Vimto".
You should do reaction videos to British comedy tv shows such as ‘The Brittas Empire’ ‘Two doors down’ ‘The Royle Family’ ‘Upstart Crow’ ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’ “One foot in the grave’ are a few recommendations! I think your subscribers would like it, I know I would!
I like your taste testing, it's funny seeing/hearing your reaction to something common to us 👌🏻🇬🇧✌🏻
British Snacks? Kinder is a german name, and the brand behind it (Ferrero) is italian 😅 it’s produced in Italy, Germany and Belgium 😉
vimto is big in the birmingham area, but is massive in islamic countries, apparently around eid and it has more sugar in the export version
It's pronounced CAR RA MEL. The powder on the jelly babies is to stop them sticking together, also jelly babies are very good for diabetics as they can work out the exactact carbohydrates per 4 and because they fall apart so easily means almost instant glucose intake when their sugar is low and will bring a sugar low to a stop quickly or bring it up quickly. Basically it is an emergency glucose supply for diabetics even though it was only made for the normal sweet/candie store.
Cadburys freddo was my mums favourite. She always had a pack in the house. She passed away at Christmas and it made me smile when I saw what you were opening…..a nice memory 🥹❤️ x
Maynards also have a variation on the Jelly babies called Jellyatrics, where as you may have guessed the sweets aren't babies but senior citizens! - they don't taste any better though😂
Now that's funny😅😅
I like to stand ‘em all in a queue, and play a game of ‘Pension Day’ - after which, I eat their walking-sticks, and watch ‘em topple over! 😂 PS. I’m ancient, so I can say owt I like. 😉
