Harry trolling everyone by his different eating methods was top notch.
He’s learned from Joe it seems

WTF, The uk has had chunky kit kat for years! The vid had one job to do. Boo.
@@christhebritt22314 finger the best tho
The way that they are eating the Kit Kats is criminal
thats the hole point LOL
I love that grammar 💀😭😭
I eat kit kat like those guys sometimes
Harry pointed out they removed the two finger's iconic paper wrapper and foil I loved to unwrap as a kid, but then they both bit into them like a regular bar!
IKR ITS DESPICABLE
there was a UK popcorn and salted caramel flavour for chunky and it was mindblowing
Who remembers when there was a competition two years ina row to choose the next kitkat chunky flavour? - aslo they brought back kitkat pops last year, but i dont think they’re available anymore
Do you know what else was mind-blowing?
JFK
yeah
There was a cookie and creams kit Kat and a cookie dough one I'm certain
and cookie dough
It says “ why contain milk” on the vegan on as it’s made in a factory that uses milk so it’s there for people who are deathly allergic to milk as there is a minuscule chance of cross contamination. It is a vegan recipe though with no milk in the ingredients. Any item that doesn’t have the allergy in it but is made in a factory that handles allergy ingredients has to state this for legal reasons in the UK. So you’ll see it often on vegan items.
It's the same reason a package of suger cookies may warn you about nuts.
If you see peanut butter with the warning "may contain peanuts", on the other hand... it also makes perfect sense. People have made that mistake before...
I literally bought a tub of sweet and sour chicken and it had may contain nuts it’s just for legal reasons
He does know that I’m sure, he was just making a joke.
Fk vegans and people who can't handle something simple as milk lol
@@Benlovescheese This is not common knowledge to anyone who isn't vegan or has some sort of allergies.
I think Joe got a lot of pleasure from biting the KitKats the way he did knowing that it would wind people up 😆
Kind of wish that they'd shipped a UK KitKat to Joe for comparison purposes.
I think in the Japan episode that they had a UK v US v Japan taste test
I'm American and British Kit Kats rule! Those Orange ones are insanely good. I have moved to the UK and the chocolate is incredible compared to back home. As for the price, prices in the US are getting out of control. I took a trip back home recently. 6 bucks for a dozen eggs!! WTF! The same in the UK is about £2.80 which is like 3 bucks 50!
Where you getting 12 eggs for2.80? I bought a 12pk from tesco two days ago and it was 4.70
@@christobin8108 Has it ever occurred to you that different shops have different prices?,
@@christobin8108 CoOp £2.85 for 12. You need to get out more mate. 😂😂
That’s because they are originally English..you just stole them and ruined them with your crap chocolate…😂
@@Ionabrodie69 No. Nestle stole then when the English company that made them sold out.
This video just made me miss the cookies and cream kit Kat we used to have here in the UK, god it was beautiful
I used to have those at school
I used to love that kitkat flavour!
my fav of all time
I'm a proud American, but the UK does chocolate better, period. Not as well as the Swiss or Belgians, but better than the US. All of it comes at the expense of historically exploiting Africans and South Americans so ya know... Cadbury is at least honest about that.
*God 🙏
Just came back from a trip to Japan and good lord the variety of Kit Kats they have there! Would love to see a video on that!
there already is one
Instead of stopping UK chocolate import, why don't Hersey's just make better chocolate😂
Money
Because we already have dominating brands so it would just be too much effort and cost a lot of money
Hershey's should just shut down in the USA and let Nestle take over.
hersey's has American politicians in their pockets.
I needed some cheering up today - thanks for a new Food Wars episode Joe and Harry.
Fun fact. I'm coeliac so can't eat normal kitkats but in the UK they have made the festive Easter Bunnies and Father Xmas characters using gluten free biscuit pieces rather than wheat wafers, so they are gluten free! Don't taste the same but its a nice touch
The Japan Kit Kat episode will be very interesting with all the weird and wacky flavours they have
They've already compared Japan with America
Have they?
@sctrains3687 but I'd love to see a UK VS Japan episode of that - when George returns from his trip around the world of course.
It is an interesting episode tbf
@@sctrains3687 sure have! and it was weird and wacky
My mom brought me some Canadian KitKats because I missed them due to USA KitKats being different. And it was wonderful! The chocolate is so creamy outside of the USA, while inside, it’s a little grainy. Much like Hershey’s-made Cadbury chocolate versus actual Cadbury chocolate
Canadian here. Bought a US kitkat at the airport flying out of JFK and ended up throwing it away after one bite, it was so gross I thought it had gone bad. Did not realize the US has a different recipe.
The us recipie uses corn starch instead of sugar so that is probably the main reason for the difference.
I am happy I am not the only one who notices this. Every time I go to Canda I have to pick up the kit kats because they are so much better.
US KitKat is garbage
Hershey kitkats are an abomination.
The review we didn’t ask for, but the one we needed.
The popcorn chunky Kit Kat was the best chocolate bar ever! So sad to see it discontinued, until I found them being sold off in B&M for 20p each, so I bought loads! 😉
I miss the Kit Kat Chunky Ice Cream that we used to have in the UK.
It was a larger than normal Chunky bar with ice cream inside it.
6:52, I love how they quietly added a scream sound effect when Joe at the Kit Kat the wrong way.
the fact that even EastEnders talks about chicken shops, and US candy stores, being fronts for money laundering, is honestly insane.
the way they have been eating the kitkats
I MUST RIOT
I've got to be honest, that birthday cake kitkat sounds sickly sweet, but I like the sound of the hazelnut thins. Chocolate and hazelnut is the best combination ever
Love you all! Thanks again so much for your videos!
What about the UK chunky KitKat?
yh man those r so good
I've had so many different types of kitkats: there was this dried raspberry and dark chocolate kitkat, a mint chocolate kitkat, a new york philidelphia cheesecake kitkat, golden kitkat, matcha kitkats (I love these) and this popcorn kitkat that was real tasty. I got these in the UK, although the matcha flavoured ones were imported from Japan, but I got them in a HMV.
Kit kat is made by a completely different company in the US to the UK, which is why they are all so different, because they are actively not allowed to be the same.
I love the mint and the strawberry KitKats!! I also seen the KitKat cereal here in WV in Walmart a couple weeks ago.
The video we all been waiting for .
All right another kit kats episode i love kit kats so i will always love videos like this ❤❤🎉🎉
i’m from the uk and there are flavours i have had that aren’t in this video, these being the ruby kitkat and the zebra kitkat! i used to love the ruby one although haven’t seen it in a while
Japan's KitKat video is going to need its own documentary 🤣
I’ve waited so long for this video!
KitKat chunky peanut butter is an S tier chocolate bar. They did a popcorn one as well which was also banging.
For shelf stable they should ship each other the main example. For direct compare and contrast.
dislocated my knee recently so been re-watching all your guys' Marathon episodes recently while i rest up
feel better!
@@JoeAvella thank you!
First, apple pie Kit-Kat is amazing. Second, we have white chocolate Kit-Kats here in the U.S. That isn't a U.K exclusive. As well as the Kit-Kat cereal.
We’ve have orange too during Halloween
I had the Japanese apple pie Kit Kat’s when I was in Hong Kong a few years ago, wonder if they taste the same as the American ones.
Listen pet.. you got them from us not the other way round…you however did do something…you ruined them with your shite chocolate..🙄👍🇬🇧
Yeah, but I bet it tastes different (worse). 😂
when i saw the kit kat cereal i thought it was American.
I love Kit Kats! Forgot all about the old wrapping till Harry mentioned
One of the small joys of life was rubbing the foil into the chocolate logo & peeling it away. Bring back the old packaging. They say this new one is more recyclable, but because it doesn't look it, I keep forgetting & bunging it in the bin 🙄
One thing to note, many many moons ago in the UK... Kit Kats used to have their own vending machines, they were that loved! :D
I’ve seen loads more flavours in the uk. there (was?) like a zebra one and a “cookies and cream” flavour which was like milk and cookie flavour white chocolate. I’ve seen a lot more flavours of chunky too
probably discontinued
They've all been long discontinued sadly.
Who remembers when there was a competition two years ina row to choose the next kitkat chunky flavour? - aslo they brought back kitkat pops last year, but i dont think they’re available anymore
If you're going to do Kit Kat it's got to be Japan vs Everyone Else.
There's an insane variety of flavors in Japan.
Yes, they've done one for Japan but it didn't really scratch the surface, a full episode explaining all the variations would last about 4 hours I would think!
Well it’s a U.K. invention so it probably should be compared to the U.K. 😂
It was invented in the Uk though
Invention vs Innovation.
Apple didn't invent the mobile phone and yet it's an industry driver.
@@teruphoto kitkat was first made in Britain
I was just on the US v JPN episode moments ago, this was unexpected yet welcomed!
The Uk invented the kitkat
the one we've been waiting for
That kitkat cereal with Banana Milk is Awesome ❤️🇬🇧❤️
Love these videos
kitkat lemon drizzle was always my favourite
Wow amazing great job you guys
i actually said the same thing about the UK packaging yesterday.. i bought slme kitkats for the first time in a long time and was shocked to see plastic... i didn't like it
KitKat chunky is one of my all time favourites they’re so good
5:41 Oooh… I love White Chocolate Kit Kat! It’s my favorite! I know that I got that at Walmart in Canada!
Wow my friend food video was amazing! It made me hungry just watching it
There are Kit Kat Pops in the UK. They have the layers but are round like Maltesers
Mmmm the kitkat cookie dough was amazingggg
Mint duo Kit Kats are bangers but the way he ate them 😭
i swear we used to have kitkat duos here, i remember the white and milk duo in the UK, but just like the Ruby Chocolate ones disappeared without warning or trace
The kitkat chunky biscoffs are my favourite
Yo I was SO HAPPY JOE liked the mint, mocha, and strawberry ones! Cause all three are my favorite. I was like 😅…hahaha
Japan's KitKat game is on another level
In the uk I have also seen white choc biscoff chunky, caramel popcorn chunky, a mixed bired bag with salted caramel and hazelnut minis which r they new flavours that r in the bag
The kitkat cereal did make it to us grocery stores
The UK also has the KitKat mix sharing bag and a couple of varients you didn't mention
American candy storea in the uk especially in London are often fronts for money laundering
7:38 looks like crown is the hot topic in UK 😂😂
Joe, there’s a cookies & cream Kit Kat that I bought at Tesco’s recently.
He knew the rage he would cause eating it like that
The UK also has mint flavour and used to have cookies and cream, but haven't seen those recently.
Joe got a red jacket to match with kit kat for this episode. love it
6:53 who eats KitKat like that!?! 😵😵😵
i miss the cookies and cream kitkat in the uk and i remember that they had an actual honecomb on i believe or did i just get the caramel and while i was at work experience at costa they had kitkat drinks
joe, nice color you're wearing but confused with the kit kat packages. Is it orange or red?
I love kit kat, it's extremely popular in japan aswell
There used to be a ruby chocolate kitkat in the uk and it was gorgeous
The lotus biscoff chunky is technically different to the bites, as it is a white chocolate bar with the biscoff spread compared to milk chocolate
I think Australia wins the debate with their New Milkybar flavour.
Well, there’s a rare treat. A product that’s available and invented in the UK.
KitKats are good. I haven't had them in a while but also why are they biting the KitKat like that WTF lol.
chomp chomp!
I’m a Kit Kat conservative
Classic one or nothing
Cheers from San Diego California
why deprive yourself? Try something new!
We have a chunky size too in the UK, btw. I know it is somewhat mentioned later on but not in the sizes part.
Fun video. I hit up the H-Mart here in Seattle just for the Japanese KitKat lol.
British invention ;)
Love the Food Wars Series! I hope the next US vs UK series are Cheetos, Gatorade, Hershey’s, Jack in the Box, and Chick Fil-A
I don't think Jack and chick are outside the US
I wished they made the seaonal flavors all yr round. The strawberry and lemon kitkats need to stay. Also yes, please explain the Hershey's relationship...Cadbury's in the 00s (better quality) do not taste like the ones in the US stores now.
I want to try the UK peanut butter KitKat! Sounds amazing.
It is amazing. Only Reece's beat that great peanut butter flavour. Is it odd that as a Brit, my favourite sweet treat is a Reece's peanut butter cup? 😄
It's insanely good. I'm American but live in the UK and honestly the food is so much better here. It is nice to eat stuff with natural ingredients and not full of stuff that sounds like it belong in a science lab. Oh and there is no high fructose corn syrup here either. Period!
peanut butter chunky's are an immaculate creation,
We love kit kats! My son aged 7 has juat watched this (he loves your channel!) And he wanted me to let you know that he approves of the kit kat cereal and we have just finished a box of it lol! (We are in the uk) and by tbe way that is not how you eat a kit kat you break off the fingers lol x
US & UK: We have all these KitKats'
Japan: Hold my saki.
The kitkat cereal is in co-op aswell
Not so long ago in the UK, we had a ruby chocolate 4-finger Kit Kat which was literally pink in colour
I wonder if it's possible to do an episode of Canada vs US food Wars... I know we are often very close, but for example our Kit Kats up here are the Nestle variety.
We have more Kit Kat varieties than either the UK or the US (possibly combined).
I think Japan would have most flavours as they would likely have Japanese flavours along with standard western kit kat
You can also buy a three pound Kit-Kit around Christmas time.
I got a Kit Kat chunky biscoff easter egg. Insanely good.
The lotus chunky is so good🤤
In the uk we get hazelnut chuncky, caramel chunky, zebra (white and milk chocolate) kitkat and peanut chunky butter kitkat and cookies and Creme kitkat
I’ve been eating a lot of Kit Kat bars recently, they’re very good 😋
I love that the chocolate inside kitkats is just other kitkats mashed up (at least in the UK it is, not sure about elsewhere)
Then how was the first KitKat made, lol 😋
Man I'm gonna be so sad when they run out of foods to compare 😢.
I love kitkats because everyone gets so pissed when I snap them across the middle horizontally
Joe absolutely knowing what he's doing when eating the 4 fingers in one bite. You absolute heathen 😅
In the UK you used to be able to buy cookies and cream flavour kit kat but they discontinued them.
Calling a candy "chunky" leaves *so much* innuendo potential. 😂😂😂
Really you should do a uk vs Japan kit kat video they have crazy stuff
because big kitkat is the best, i wish the japanes join in this episode their kitkats are wild
Is the KitKat chunky not a thing in the UK anymore?
How do they sell the American food colorings in the UK? Are American stores exempt ?
