I like how you guys were like “Crab flavoured crisps! Who would do that?” After extolling how much you liked prawn cocktail crisps lol
“Crab crisps” aren’t based on crab, but “Old Bay Seasoning” - an iconic crab boil (and other foods) salt and celery seasoning. They just can’t use the Old Bay brand name
The only brand that uses the Old Bay name is Herr's. Those have a strong vinegar flavor to them. I like the Utz version better.
Whats even better before saying "Who makes a crab crisp?" He also said "We love some prawn walkers" lol
@Miles Doyle I’m not reading all that.
Lays is dominant in the US, but to be fair there are tons of other competitors. Especially regionally. It's a big thing for Chip/Snack brands to based out of different States in the US, and expand to neighboring states, then sometimes eventually nationally. Although at that point the conglomerates often buy them.
Fun fact for the Blokes. You mentioned Thousand Islands dressing. That's actually an American invention. The Thousand Islands is a real place in Upstate New York. There are a few different possible origin stories for the dressing, but all tie in to the place.
Lays isn’t good though lol, it just tastes like your eating straight salt
That American dude is hilarious with his honest reactions haha
Who?
@@Grovel007 did you not watch the video??
@@User_32 huh
@@Grovel007 you said ‘who’ there’s an American guy in the video we’re both commenting on. Did you not watch it?
@@User_32 what?
To be fair, the "air" in the bags is actually a preservative gas that is added to keep the chips fresh.
Also, I love Dill Pickle Lay's. I didn't think I would, but they're amazing.
It keeps the chips more intact during transport and stocking as well. I worked for Frito Lay for years, and when I'd grab a less inflated bag out of a case the chips were almost always just crumbs at the bottom. It makes the bags look nice on the shelves too when they're all popped and laced, and as ridiculous as it sounds if it looks good on the shelf it'll sell better. Every once in a while you'd open a case and one bag would have just air in it and the bag next to it would be filled with double the amount lol.
The crab crisps aren’t based on crab but the crab seasoning. I don’t know about that particular Lays flavor but Utz makes one and I love them.
The Utz ones are delish!
DMV stand up
i believe it’s Old Bay seasoning
Are u from Baltimore?
It is based on Old Bay seasoning (used to cook seafood) which is a huge seasoning in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area where I'm from. Also Delaware too.
Please consider reacting to “Conan Visits Sam Adams Brewery” or “Conan Visits the Dublin Guinness Brewery” 😁
I'm from the Chesapeake area (MD) and we specialize in crabs the one in the sea not in your pants 😂 so that's why we have crab flavored everything lol
Are you Blokes old enough to remember 'twin packs' of 2 bags of chips sold in a carboard box (like a cereal box, yet bigger) that kept the chips from being crushed to powder by the gorillas that sling them out of the delivery truck or stock the shelves in the shop or put them under a dozen big cans in your bag by the checker? Damn I miss having 2 dozen big chips ('crisps') in a bag instead of a cup of dried potato flour in the bottom of the bag!
We do have Kettle brand chips in the US. But various brands have their own "kettle cooked" version of their chips
Kettle Chips are indeed American. Lays is just trying to occupy every corner of the chip market.
I have the largest Frito Lay factory in 🇨🇦 very close to my home. When the wind blows from the east, we can smell the lovely smell of the cooking oil. 😄
the crab crisp are just Old Bay seasoning which is like a major seafood seasoning here in the DMV but it’s used everywhere
I love Daz 🤣, guy picks up a bag of ready salted, “that’s mikes go to” 😭 😂
They should have taken an unopened bag and submerged it in water to measure the volume of the bag. Then taken the chips out to measure the volume of the chips. And then subtract chips from bag.
You damn genius
Love salt and vinegar chips. Many do not because you either love or hate them. If u mix them all up I am so damn happy. I love all flavors and most taste the same or better with dip.
"Love a bit of squirrel." Nice homage to Friday Night Dinner, Daz!
Kettle cooked chips are my favorite. Especially the jalapeno ones.
I like kettle cooked ones too. They are kind of like Cap’n Crunch though they tear up the roof of my mouth but I just keep eating them. Lol
Lovely bit of Squirrel.. From Friday Night Dinner. Great show
Is Mike really coming to NY? Would be great to buy him a beer.
In May 👍🏻
1:22 come on Dave, you gotta say it right: "wun pawwnd fitteh"
You guys are hilarious! Thanks for covering for the Missing Mike. So funny.
As an American who hunts and eats squirrel regularly. I would eat tf outta Cajun squirrel chips
I like the poppables but I can't help but feel like I've just given Lay's the green light to sell me even more air in my bag.
I love how KFC is like such a big brand in other countries. No one goes to KFC in America, unless your 65+ or legit there are no other options. Its like a ghost town over there...or at least in the south. I have been maybe 2 times in the last 15 years.
KFC is only big in a few European countries. You have to really scout for one in Scandinavia or Eastern Europe.
Huge in the UK and Germany tho, countries with my truck stops too
@@TrashskillsRS well that’s relieving to know haha. I always feel awkward when people say American food or even casual fast food is kfc because that stuff is trash and we definitely do not eat it here haha.
Popeyes is way better
You don’t have BARBECUE!! Wow. Those are my go-to, along with original
So basically US snacks are generally tastier but unhealthier as well lol
7-11 has TURKEY & GRAVY POTATO CHIPS & PUMPKIN PIE POTATO CHIPS for Thanksgiving
We used to be able to buy a tear n share bag which has 900g of crisps in it
It has been discontinued so it's no longer available
Dill pickle lays are soooooo good omg
i feel like if you hate pickles tho, theyre def your least favorite lol
also, theyre one of my favs
@@xxjabarri2xx well yea lol
I just watched this video and I figured I would tell you guys that Pepsi co. owns both Walker's & Lay's chip's. Walker's is just the British version of Lay's here in America. I worked on both the retail and wholesale side's in groceries. You would be surprised to know how many companies you think are exclusive to Britain that are owned by American companies.
Sour Cream & Cheddar is what we generally have on tacos or baked potatoes. To me, that's why it took off 20yrs ago.
Our cocktail sauce in the US is horseradish and ketchup
The crab crisp isn't crab flavor. It's off of the seasoning (Old Bay) that used in crab boils. Not a fan and I love the seasoning
If the flavouring on crisps doesn't burn the roof of my mouth, or tongue, they ain't real crisps!
Thus was gold chips on a sanga so good g'day from your Aussie fans
1st their was Lays Then Fritos merged for Fritos Lays Then in 65 it merge with PepsiCo. PepsiCo owns Lays , Fritos Lays chips, Doritos , Tostitos Walkers Chips , Sun Chips and many more .
Canada ketchup chips are the best if you can get them. I live in the US and get it on Amazon
Speaking of salt and vinegar puffs I wonder where mike is
i audibly cackled
Who's buying 25/25g bags? It's like 3 chips in it?
I think it's worth buying these chips from less known brands. They taste very similar and are much cheaper.
Why does Dave look like his mother combed his hair lol
Edit: OMG! The rats 😂
Oooooh Dave just won my heart when he mentioned Takis 😍🔥
I'd wager the boys loved the therapeutic action of crushing of the bags to "vent" some aggression. 😅
Lays in China sells the prawn cocktail chips, quite tastey. Does not taste like ketchup.
Fun fact: Lays biggest seller, Doritos, have been around for over 50 years (1966) and were created at Disneyland.
Joe must not be from the Mid-Atlantic US because we looooooove our Old Bay/Chesapeake Seasoning chips, cheese curls, etc.
The bags are filled with nitrogen to prevent chip crush and oxidation
26:24 Balsamic Vinegar .. that’s a big word for Elmo 😅
Always getting BBQ in kettle cooked or regular style.
My favourite flavour of walkers was the bbq that they stopped selling in UK it was sooo good
lmao the Mike impressions are fantastic
i love chicken and waffles lays
Bruh Those “sensations” chips are branded like cond0ms 🤨
Oh man this is the perfect video for me
I can eat a party size bag of those classic lays in 2 sittings or 3 depending on what I eat
I can go through about 10 of those bags in 2 weeks because most of the food I like goes with those chips (mostly because I like the chips)
I’ve probably eaten AT LEAST 1000 party size bags of chips in the last 18 years (I’m not 18 so I’m accounting for childhood) and I even did the math at one bag every 3 days which actually comes out to over 2000 bags but I don’t finish one bag every 3 days no matter what because usually I have other foods too
But recently for the past few months I’ve been getting a shit ton of burnt bags and they taste COMPLETELY different and I hate them
They don’t even have the potato flavor or salt
They just taste burnt and stale
But when you get an actual good bag with nice crunchy (but not stale extra hard crunchy) chips that dissolve in your mouth then it’s just heaven
Any one too Ruffles classic wavy bbq
They all taste good when they’re not burnt
I'm eating some Scorchin' Cheddar Pringles right now. I know it's a Kellogg's brand and not Walker's/Lay's, but I suddenly got a craving for chips while watching this video and it was within arm's reach lol
14:10 Smoky bacon sounds good! I'm going to have to remember to try those when I go to the UK.
Known as Smith’s in Australia
Cajun is southern USA word for Canadians.
Cheddar and Sour Cream Lay's is my favorite chip just period. XD
Crab crisps don't sound right, but prawn does? 🤢🤮 They both sound gross, lol! 😂🤣 I would like the pickled onion, I think; I love onions, pickles and pickled eggs. My fave chip flavors are dill pickle, salt and vinegar, buffalo wing, and barbecue. Oooo, sour cream and onion as well.
Daz, there are lots of chip brands that have buffalo wing flavoring, some with ranch flavoring as well!
I like Laura Scudders bbq potato chips. Lays are meeh, ok. But just barely ok.
I'm still searching for Kebab flavoured chips
I liked the Cheddar Beer chips, so they quit making them. I still prefer Laura Scudders, though they are hard to find.
It’s not a matter of which is best, just Yorkiest.
This sounds like a fill the PO Box challenge
I'm not familiar with the UK but here in Canada, our 175g was 200g up until last few years. They went up in price for less content. Mind you, we are lucky, we have all the Lays here. Even the party bags. The ones that lessened their content were the Canadian companies like Old Dutch. Before Lays came to Canada they were likely the top seller.
Frazzles!!! Giant Wotsits are the best imo! Wheres all the ham + mustard crisps gone!!???
Does Dave ever take time off? I always see him here lol
Holy crap I'm buying a party size when I get off work.
Never thought about mixing chips up like that, doesn't sound too bad actually.
1 pound 50 and all that😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💪
My favorite chips are Old Dutch dill pickle. Lays version are nasty.
Beef puffs was the best omg but at this current time its royston t-bone stake
Frito Lay have been going crazy with the flavors in recent years. Some are good, some are just ok.
Over the summer lays had a BLT flavor and those are the best ones ever
No one can eat just one ...unless it's strongly poisoned
Lays in india we have 6 piece of chips with 5 rupees packed lays
I have to disagree wit the American host, the Dill Pickle flavor is AMAZING!!
🇨🇦 flavours such as All Dressed and Ketchup. 😋
Worcester Sauce is Highly Demanded here in the States Daz. POOL CLOSED. Thats why we took all the Worcester from You our Cousins...
WORCESTER FOR TEA!!,
sorry, had to.
He says the air is in the bag to keep the chips from getting smashed in transit... Well that failed. Lol
The Jalapeno and Cheddar is great. Back in the day HEB here in Texas had a Jalapeno and queso chip that was amazing. Then they fucked it all up by changing the formula.
What's the point of having 5 portion sizes if the jumps are so small?
British chips are only nasty to us Americans because our tastebuds are different. So, British chips arent nasty, it's just different.
I know some people who never ate cheese before.
If you haven't grown up eating cheese, you will think it taste like fart and rotten eggs if you eat it as an adult.
Just gotta get use to the different flavors
It’s almost making my head hurt
Daz, I'm with you. Chips on a sandwich? Nothing better. I like ruffles better than regular Lay's. Cheddar & sour cream ruffles!!! Make ya slap your momma.
Both Canada and the states have huge bags of chips 😂
Are you guys going to do more internet historian?
What is the point in having a 25, 32, 45 and 65g bag? Like 2 extra chip upgrade? Lol i think the US has the portion sizes perfect. The smallest bag is a lunch size bag sold in vending machines.
Are nunchucks still illegal in the United Kingdom?
The air is to keep the chips from getting crushed.If you get crushed bagof chips then what wou whine aboutl
LAY'S KETCHUP CHIPS ARE THE BEST
OUT OF ALL FLAVORS!!!!
Do you, in the UK, have Walker's sausage roll crisps?
Baked BBQ is the best lays chip IMO
pickeled eggs are the best
Damn never been this early
Here's a list of things that *doesn't* cause cancer in California:
deez nutz
These reinforce the stereotype that the british don't know what flavor is.
I think the Sweet Southern BBQ used to be KC Masterpiece but I guess they don't partner with KC Masterpiece anymore. I hate sour cream and onion also hate the sour cream and cheddar. I would love to try the cheese and onion and the marmite chips though. I can get a jar of marmite in the British section of the grocery store but I haven't been brave enough to try it yet.
R I P Mike 😔✊
Squares sounds lyk Cheese it's
What the bleepity-bleep is marmite, lol?
Dill pickle is my sh
