Unless the Brits are using a toothpick to dispense their mayo, there's no way it's only 6 calories. It's a mixture or eggs and oil. Any measurable amount of either of these would be more than 6 calories. I just checked in my fridge. I have Mayo made with olive oil and it's 50 calories per tablespoon serving.
So, funny thing: at about the same time the blokes uploaded this video, Food insider uploaded their UK vs US Popeyes video, so it's the next video down in my sub box
I noticed that too😂😂😂
The croissandwich is delicious with either sausage and egg or bacon and egg between a sliced croissant.
🤮
Mayo is just oil and egg yolk, which is pretty much just fat and more fat with some protein thrown in, so it should have a hefty calorie count. I have to wonder what they're passing off as mayo over there.
Yup. Ironically the US gets dumped on in these Food Wars as all chemicals. But in this instance it sounds like the UK might be even worse. Of course the US version probably also has tons of preservatives, even if also legit oil and egg. Even a "healthier" oil like Olive or Avocado is still going to be calorific.
Right? I'm suspicious about mayo that is only 6 calories, I mean like how? 🤣
@@Wiley_Coyote Nah you just dont list the "chemicals" like UK and most of the EU doesnt on the food labels, which means it has none in it, big brain move.
Kraft Light Mayo is a common brand in the UK (also in the US too, although not nearly as much as Hellman's or Best Foods mayo). Its 35 calories per serving, not 6. Here are the ingredients. water, soybean oil, modified food starch* sugar, maltodextrin*, vinegar, contains less than 2% of salt, natural flavor, egg, lactic acid*, mustard flour, phosphoric acid*, dried onion, dried garlic, beta-carotene* color), potassium sorbate* and calcium disodium edta (to protect flavor). Now imagine what further changes are needed to go down to 6 calories.
15:20 Dave: "There's no way they have a vegan fryer"
With a big enough blender, you could easily fry up all the vegans you'd wanna fry, though.
if only.
There was a similar thing at the stadium of, I believe, the Seattle Seahawks football team involving the sizes of their beers. A small beer was served in a short, wider cup and the large, for several dollars more, was served in a tall, skinny cup. Both held exactly the same amount. They poured a small beer from it's cup into the large one and it filled it exactly to the rim.
The croissant breakfast sandwich is really good. It's the only reason I would got o BK for breakfast
9:10 The American whopper is only 33 calories more than the English while the American fries is actually 7 calories less than the English. The real culprit is the soda. And that doesn't even tell the real tale of the tape cause we also give in-restaurant diners unlimited free refills. So the maximum calories, if you're downing all the soda, is infinite.
One thing I’ve noticed about Burger King in the UK is that they don’t really change the sizes of their burgers like McDonald’s in the UK does. The taste is similar too. On the other hand, McDonald’s might as well be a completely different restaurant.
Being in New Zealand, "sandwiched" between the US and the UK we seem to have half of the UK special items and half of the US special items haha.
Well, we definitely have the Bacon King here in the states too, I used to grab one all the time in college.
That's my go to order for drunken door dash lmao.
@@Meracog Lol!
McDonald's breakfast sandwiches with bagels 🥯weren't, at least to me, that good. The bagels were always too heavy and thick. I have, however, had a Burger King croissant 🥐breakfast sandwich and those are incredibly good. 👍
12:00 Absolutely untrue. It's mandatory in the U.S. except when it comes to proprietary spice blends.
I'm from South Africa and my normal order is Smoky Bacon King, 2 12 piece chicken fries, large chips and a large 7UP, and a side of 12 Jalapeno bites.
I've been waiting for more of these!!
I like food wars because of the two hosts.
america has the bacon king and one-upped the brits on it: TWO whopper patties, 4 cheese, 6 bacon, mayo, and ketchup. i get mine without mayo.
Hershey pies are really good
19:40 They got rid of the steak egg and cheese bagel in the U.S. two years ago and I haven't eaten McDonald's since. Lol
The UK small drink is the about same as our kid's size drinks.
And where I'm at in the US we don't have the small fries "box" we have the small bag like the UK guy had. The medium fries are in the box like the US guy has. Apparently it's supposed to be small bag, medium box and large box on both sides of the pond.
We've got the jalapeno chicken fries too.
Idk where he is or what US menu they looked at, but the BK where I live has ALMOST all of the "UK exclusive" items. And has for years😂
I love the Impossible Burger from BK. It’s the only thing I get from them.
There's a reason that Burger King didn't make any of the 50 state favorites (nor did McDonald's).
Adding on, a few years back the BK near my old-old house sold Hotdogs.
They were stupidly good.
When I am on a bulk I am not against getting the fully loaded croissan'wich. Bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, cheese. Easy 1,242 calories if you eat 2 to start the day when you're trying to hit 4,400-4,600 a day.
I can't eat McDonald's, but a friend told me the move is to order doubles with big mac sauce. You get more for less money.
I wonder how many viewers found themselves getting Burger King for lunch after watching this. Couldn't have been me, obviously..☺
It’s insane how us food companies and culture run the world
That bacon on the UK sandwiches look nasty.
They prefer thick cut bacon that’s not crispy
They use the loin for their bacon cuts
Weird it only goes up to double stacker where he is. Quad Stacker for life in Chicago, BABY!
In my local Burger King if you ask them to cut something (like the Mayo) but when I ask for mustard as the dressing, the people behind the counter get blerrie-eyed. They carefully build it because they aren't used to such a thing. Then they get it all wrong. The cut everything besides the mustard and you have to send it back. Then the people start having nervous facial ticks & put everything back on with extra ketchup. It really is sad to see. I have stopped going to BK because they just can't handle anything not on their assembly line procedures. I have tried some out of town it was about a 50-50 shot of getting what you ask for.
That's funny, cause in America one of their biggest advertising points is "have it your way." They started offering customization to your order as a selling point way way back. I guess in America we're more familiar with preparing that specific food?
McDonalds got rid of the bacon egg and cheese bagel in the states and it truly was a sad day. imo it was the best thing on their menu 😩😭
To be fair, if you don't ask for no ice from most fast food chains, the drink will be at least 50% ice/melted ice by the time you finish it.
I just went through Taco Bell drive-thru this evening. I watched them fill the cup clear to the top with ice before adding the Pepsi.
@@Andres64B Yeah. It's common practice since ice is cheap. If you let it melt though the volume really only comes to ~50-60% I like ice because soda is too sweet for me without it being watered down lol.
Also don't let the fries sizes fool you for the USA either. A large fry is basically a a medium fry just in a bigger box
The fastfood where i used to work have 2 fryers. One for fries only and the others for the rest. The impossible is for vegetarian.
There’s a sauce in Cajun cuisine called remoulade that’s basically a fancy version of hot sauce and mayo mixed together.
Burger King in the US is worse than McDonald's. Interesting to hear its the reverse in the UK. It probably also used to be the reverse in the US too, during the 1970s and 80s, but changed after that. It actually WAS British owned (a company called "Grand Metropolitan") during the 90s and early 00's. It didn't improve AFTER that era though, so its not like that's the whole story of the chain going crap.
I feel like Burger King still had better quality here in the 90s. Then it went downhill from there
Lol, Impossible meat is actually all plant based, there is no meat in Impossible meat.
It actually tastes good! I was very skeptical until I tried it.
Y'all should watch Keith eats the menu! guy goes through everything on the menu.
Mark Rober has a great video about Impossible meat. I haven't tried it yet. Bill Gates is on the thumbnail.
Burger King has better sandwiches. McDonalds has better fries, or at least they did when they gave out crushed salt which is vastly better than granulated for fries. I actually keep a bottle of crushed salt in my car's console for when I stop by fast food drive throughs, and I encourage everyone else to do so. Try it: order fries from any fast food place and separate them into two piles. Sprinkle one with regular table salt and the other with crushed salt and taste the difference.
Yayyyy!! Finally more food reactions 🔥
Mayo and Frank's is a good dip for french fries
So I use to work at burger king here in the US and can say that their is no difference between the small and medium fries.
Sausage, egg, and cheese Croissan’wiches are so good. If I’m eating BK for breakfast, that’s what I’m getting.
With tater tots!
Please react to more from this channel. The guys are great. They have a price comparison video up that I think you will find very interesting.
I don't eat at fast food restaurants anymore. Except for Chipotle.
2022 burger king been closed here in LA
Burger King tacos are one of the best things on the menu
So this tells me when I visit the UK, definitely go large on the meal. Here in the US, i tend to go for small or medium since the large portions just feel excessive for a skinny-fat fella like me 😂
Sucks that there's no Hershey's sundae pie option in the UK though, i love those!
Was the Bacon King once exclusive to UK?
That's my go to order over here haha when I'm drunk for some reason lmao
I've never had a Big Mac in my life.
6:45 Mike set em up, and he was just waiting... waiting... waiting...
Funny here in the US there is a meme we all keep wondering how is Burger King still in business when it's almost universally "not liked" everywhere here
So true. There is a Burger King right next to the McDonald's where I live. The McDonald's always has a line and the Burger King is empty.
@@Andres64B same here in Ogden Utah, I never understood in one intersection we have: Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Burger King, Sonic Drive in, Wendy's and 2 minutes up ahead Arby's. I am always buffeled and Burger king is always empty but its still there
McDonald’s is like equivalent to middle school lunch in the states……
There's no way Mayo is 6 calories. Even the "lite" versions would usually be like 15, unless the serving size defining things is being messed with. It probably tastes like Poop as a result.
And no... Impossible is not lab grown meat. Its soy, potato, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and food starches/binders. The one lab component is something called "heme". It sounds gross but actually isn't. They extracted DNA from Soy and put it in Yeast. Yeast can be mass grown easily. This IS a GMO but not dangerous. The heme (a very unfortunately gross name) acts like blood in meat. We don't usually want to admit it, but that's what makes beef taste good.
Impossible meat it plants made to look like meat, including bleeding while cooking. It's like yellow peas, beats, squash a couple other veggies and seasonings,
It bothers me to no end how every time I go to BK and you ask for regular sized meal, they try to shame you into getting an enlarged meal. They're like "large?" and I'm like "No! I said regular!"
I think the impossible meat is just a Vegan burger. (Plant derived)
Impossible meat is a plant based Whopper, not lab grown meat.
The first word I think of when the Burger King in my area of the States is mentioned is, Cardboard. I can stomach the Classic Chicken Sandwiches though.
The US' small is bigger than the UK large. And people wonder why we're so fat. 😂🤣
The crazy thing is, the USA small drink at every fast food spot can fill a medium & large cup up without the ice smh lol
Why do people make this out to be such a big deal?
@@Kirinketsu_ I don't know lol.
OMG i agree SO MUCH, MCdonalds only has the BigMac thats of any interest, rest is always a disapointment.. Burgerking is KING!
i moved to a rural shithole and they don't have bagels at mcdonalds, kind of removes any reason to go to mcdonalds for me
The breakfast croissants are pretty decent, at least from Jack in the Box. Idk about BK.
The impossible burger is just a vegan burger patty.
Daz mate you need to try a mega-mac (2 big macs squashed together)
its amazing :)
Put your hands down Dave.
I tried a vegan meat burger from bk once, just to see what it tasted like, and then after taste was so horrid it made me sick 🤢
Some of those things they said aren't in the u.s. actually are, the bacon king for sure but a few others he mentioned I recognized but never ordered myself
The audio seemed to lose synchronization.
What we're putting in our mayo is mayo. No mayo should be 6 calories when it's literally made up of 60 percent oil. Mmm, enjoy your soy lecithin mate.
Those songs are good don't down yourself mate
Dave's Mayoanks lol
BK's breakfast game in America isn't great in my opinion. The crossainwich stuff is popular but it's so-so to me. I'd rather have a McMuffin any day. BK's eggnormous burrito is good too, but I'd rather have a couple of McDonald's breakfast burritos. One thing that didn't exist yet when this video was made was the Ch'King sandwich and I love that damn thing, so good.
Not the Mayo wank!!! hahahahaha
I have have been given bigger cups to take a piss in at the doctor than the UK small lol
Skip the combo and have a White Claw instead.
They found kangaroo in Micky D's back in the1980sin the states who put the roo in my stew
I'm not big on Fries and find that ordering a large drink only goes to waste. I rather get a small diet drink and fries. I also hate the fries at Burger King so I will sub for onion rings instead.
More food!
The 🌮 from BK is great. They deap fry the shell.
I miss the BK stackers 😢
Somebody is lying bout that 6 calories to. And I don't even like mayo.
I cannot un-hear "Dave's mayo wank."
Ugggggghhhhh
Impossible meat is plant based
Impossible Whopper is disgusting. I got a coupon for a free impossible Whopper if you order a regular Whopper (to compare).
Not even close. 😅
Burger King's breakfast croissant sandwiches are actually pretty good.
That said, Burger King is my least favorite fast food burger place. There was one near me but now there is Taco Bell there instead.
do they have onion rings
in uk
Their fries sck any how and I don't know what the grey slab of meat was you can have your exclusive in UK did Brits sell Booger kingbacktoan American co?
They should react to blackish elevator scene
Every time I return from an international trip, first stop is a US McDonald's. It is crap but, it's my crap. The crap I grew up with.
And, I'm from the Midwest USA so, I end a majority of my sentences with propositions.
prepositions......wow.
Most drinks are cons. A lot of businesses will use different wider shaped glasses/cups that appear bigger but fit the same amount as a smaller size. Also you have to ask for no ice otherwise they deliberately add more ice to larger sizes to give the illusion your drink is more when it may have less of the actual drink than a smaller size. So many businesses should get their asses handed to them for these dishonest tactics.
Big Mac no middle bun that’s my way.
I think I would take my American butty over any Burger King butty. Also Big Macs are 🤮🤮. I’ve never seen so much drama over the worst fast food fries. Lol! One last thing lol the croissant breakfast sandwich is delicious.
Burger kings sandwiches are always a mess drowned in sauce
"it doesn't look good" that's how fast food is it never looks good then again i always was aware how much i disliked it since i was young and i don't eat fast food anymore but the biggest clue is the food never looks appealing
Just watched the review of Popeyes 1st before yours .
Similar sadness going on in Sweden. Government trying to control our fatness.
impossible meat is plant based
