Americans Try British Snacks and Crisps For The First Time 

His dry humour on Cats Does Countdown was brilliant. He will be missed.

So sad to read about Sean this morning.

Yes, such an incredibly sad day for British comedy, he was a comedy genius and it's a huge loss, feel for his friends and family, he seemed like a great guy, despite his grumpy on-stage persona

Shocked to hear this In Australia here and loved his work on the many shows we get here that he appeared in. We will miss him

So sad, he will be missed. Loved his sense of humour

I tried a pack of them the other day for the first time in decades and hated them. I remember them tasting better than that 😂

Legendary tongue stripper

and you guys didn't try the prawn cocktail ones!!!!!! Blasphemy!!! lol

@@ginjamutha I used to love pink wafers when I was younger had one the other day and they were like cardboard. Definitely better as a kid

Oooh those are my faves

Very good book. Recommend it for reading to your kids.

Yeah the original bfg is a good book and movie love it so does my kids

Why was the BFG on the box of cakes though?

@@reactions5783 It was a promotion on at the time (see the WIN PRIZES' in the top corner).

Even those ones are bad now

Wait there are low sugar ones? But the other guy is right the normal ones aren't as nice as they used to be

@@singlecell2498 I found them so greasy...

@@singlecell2498 Most Mr Kipling cakes are bad.

@@wolvesofthevoid1439 yeah did you notice they only had a line of pink icing on top rather than a whole layer

Mate even cheap supermarket frazzle copies.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ salt salt n vinegar chipsticks 🥰😍omg to die for

She is very witty!

twiglets are dogshit in twig form

Twiglets are so nasty.

They are marmite flavoured and so the 70s, that and the discos

I’ve never seen them in any shop and I’ve lived in England all my life. Never heard of anyone eating them either

@@lmc3307 Sold in Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons etc etc.

Me too I'm a 70, s kid discos and monster munch even pickled onion was a snack of choice with jubblies of course.

sounds like they popped in transit and went stale they should be like a more solid wotsit

@@MrNathanDJNGGiles much crisper than wotsits, at least they used to be.

My mum had them when she was a child...she's 82! They had little twists of salt back then.

Theyre great. Taste better than any other ready salted crisp

Not as good as back then.. not enough salt now

Same!!

Salt and shake remind me of summer holidays by the sea. They were always in the picnic bag my mum used to pack in the car. Never had them any other time.

And the twist of blue paper was filled and twisted in a cunning machine that had just been perfected when ready salted crisps and the salt sachet came along. So unfair.

And there were those tedious jokes about the blue crisps being too soft and salty. And who hasn't chomped on one in the dark of the cinema, or showered the neighbouring seats with crisps when the greaseproof paper bag split under too vigorous a shake. Yes Jemima, when Daddy was your age crisps and other goodies came in paper bags, ice cream in greasy cardboard and fresh cream in cardboard containers. Bring them all back and save the planet! What do you mean does cardboard grow on trees? Potato starch inside the bag and also use it to make the bag maybe?

I did not know that! Interesting.

I remember Walkers Cheese & Onion from the '70's and they were always blue, where as the takeover happened in 1989. Golden Wonder was the main proponent of green, as I recall. There are even pictures on the internet of the old packs 😁

He would bring dreams to children & was the runt of the giants, the larger giants murdered & ate children.

Any good can he harmful if "gone off", regardless of what is written on a packet. A "use by" date is for increasing profit and reducing loss - the latter is the key when understanding the dating. There is a difference. If course, people will always be duped because people are stupid and willing to believe anything if told by government 😕 Precisely how this and other countries have ended up the way they have. Did you research the dating topic before posting, or did you just feel happy enough to pass on the erroneous information because daddy government told you? Do you also load your kids with carcinogens and heavy metals daily, to then question how and why the cancer rates are increasingly high? (Pretty much all processed (beyond naturally produced) food here contain carcinogens). Not saying you are one of the stupid ones, but most are. You just seemed to unquestionably pass on erroneous information - I'm increasingly frustrated with people's attitudes that have brought us to where we are now, then complain, so forgive my somewhat abrupt tone. Not meaning to come across as antagonistic.

You mention "Mr Kippling" brand, which is laces with carcinogens and neurotoxins. I'm not accusing you of anything, but if you consume that, (or allow your family too), or other products that contain such poisons, then you are entirely responsible for the ailments that arise. That was pretty much my point after reading the nonsense about dates. You're correct in saying that [we] were informed of the reason of the dating system, but it's easily proved as nonsense if one just spends 45 seconds finding out! Be safe and enjoy your day :-)

Also, a "Best before" date doesn't mean its OK after that date. Not at all. You are utterly wrong. It means, literally, it is best before said date. There is no mention, nor inference, that it would be safe after, or even before the given date. Again, the date is often confusing for people as they feel it means something. It is nonsense! It would be correct to use absolutely any date as a "Best Before...".

@@WhiteUnicorn82 it’s ironic you’ve gone on a three post rant about passing on incorrect information, when part of your rant is saying that the Mr Kipling brand puts neurotoxins in its products, so shall we ask you the same question that you asked the op? Did you research this for yourself, or did you just believe someone else who told you this. By the way, I don’t know what you mean by “research”, but I hope you don’t mean read or watch or listen too other people who want to do all the thinking for you. What I’m asking is have you molecularly dissected a mr kiplings product, isolated a chemical and proven its a neurotoxin. Then passed peer review. (No you haven’t, given you state that this “research” takes 45 seconds. My friend, in 45 seconds you can find someone confidently telling you that the earth is flat because water can’t curve, or photographs of the earth from space being all globeular, you can find someone telling you that Christianity is all true, Sikhism is all true, Buddhism is all true, Judaism is all true, or that no religions are all true. You can find a man who thinks only he exists and we are all figments of his imagination. You’ve done exactly what you accuse the op of, believed someone, only the people the op believed have peer reviewed research to back up their opinions, you do not, in fact, the people you believed are known liars and conmen)

@@WhiteUnicorn82 I'm afraid that your reasoning is not quite clear here - There has to be a distinction between use by and best before, otherwise why have 2 different formats? I was simply pointing out the distinction. Surely any production of any food is artificial. Even washing and peeling and cooking a are artificial processes. Also how can you be totally sure that the (obviously) organic food on your table is totally free of potentially harmful products from the air, rain, sun, and soil? Oxygen itself can be harmful as it is an oxidising agent. Got to go have an oxidiser to design.

...that just so happens to taste like burnt moldy fungus.

I love them

Or just almost kill you!

@@midwestamericans3806 growing up in the uk you get used to the extremely strong flavour of discos but even when your used to them if you havent had them for a while the salt and vineger will still get a reaction and if you havent tried the prawn cocktail discos yet they have a hell of a kick of flavour to them

If your talking to Americans then say “don’t lash it on like jelly”

Or just don't spread it all and throw the jar straight in the bin! Marmite is controversial!

Depends on how much you like the taste

She might like marmite but clearly he won't from the Twiglets.

On toast with butter. Less is more! Good as a hot drink too.

@Ian Warren same but Like they always say marmite you either hate it or love it

You usually either love or hate marmite. I hate it lol

Prefer prawn cocktail ones

oh my god i remember them from school. that extra flavour pack could take the skin off your mouth! i'm always disappointed in them now as they're never as strong as i remember now.

@@85parrot chip sticks did, they would always put way too many in that the packets too always were pre burst and less fresh tasting then u opened the multipack

I love salt and vinager discos. It's the only good flavour for me though haha

@@coastercreations6126 i agree, i dont like the others either

ah a fellow north easterner yeah

Ooh,boy. That sounds bad! 🤪🤢🤮🥴🥴

Safe to say lesson learned the hard way on that one! Slight tangential experience from my end adding too much salt to a cuppa soup; I was necking water like a lunatic the rest of the day. At least I can laugh at my own stupidity from that experience now 🤣

@@Membratim 😂😂😂

I wonder if all that salt you ate destroyed your tastebuds, and that's why you love twiglets so much... 🤔😆

@@missm9449 Nowt wrang with Twiglets. Food of the gods 😉

Better still, just never have Rich Tea - much easier!

@@charlieboy6315 How could u discredit one of the best British biscuits 😢

If you dip/dunk less than 3 at a time you better have a spoon handy! lol

@@charlieboy6315 Treason!

Rich Tea are absof'kinlutely NOT a dunking biscuit. As Peter Kay says, they should be called '1 dips', cos that's all you get,.... if you're lucky!

Same, marmite tastes best on a hot crumpet 😋 Also love twiglets too

@@Rosebud_XD yeah that's true but it makes hella mess 😅

@@Rosebud_XD Eww :(

Its odd that I love Twiglets but hate marmite...

But both completely inedible.

Yesss the sweet chilli and red pepper are my favourite Tyrells!

Exactly, I get them at Christmas time and then remember why I don't buy them the rest of the year.

Worcester sauce twiglets were awesome, but they aren’t made anymore. No matter how many times people petition jacobs to bring them back, they keep refusing.

Twiglets are amazing ..... yum

One of my favorite snacks

I like the taste but not enough to remember they exist 😅

And good short stories for adults too

Thanks so much!

Surely the Ready Salted were already Salted . The Smith's were unsalted .

Yes! my thoughts exactly. Why have a kettle and not use it?

Almost killed me but I am ok now.

I am planning on it for sure.

Yeah, I remember. I heard they scrapped the machine that twisted the paper into little bags, then when they decided to bring back salt flavour, they couldn't remember how it did it.

Yes I'm a big fan of Prawn Cocktail crisps. I used to love Skips or the supermarket version. Now it seems they do a more chinese style Prawn cracker which isn't as good. I used to love those big bags of own brand Skip type snacks.

@@walterbishop1697 you can still get the original prawn cocktail in places like Iceland and b&m

@@alibali193 Thanks for that!

@@walterbishop1697 I meant skips. I love them but my kids aren't interested. They like Pringles

I had them I my school packed lunch in the late 70s !

They do but like everything else from way back when...they're smaller! I remember buying wagon wheels that looked like a wagon wheel not a 10p piece! lol

@@danosverige The manufacturers say that wagon wheels haven't got smaller. It's you that has got bigger, so they look smaller.

@@henrybest4057 - Well, they would say that wouldn't they!

@@danosverige Unless you have evidence to the contrary, that's a reasonable explanation of the effect.

I think altitude makes some packs pop

@@annother3350 Yea i'm thinking just a small split somewhere in the seam rather than a full on pop as the contents were still contained well

For me, monster munch were always very crunchy going in but once wet (saliva) became a chewy kinda texture same as cheese puffs, cheetos etc.

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender!!

@@moosic2i lol, yeah, but it's only a piece of cake...or 3 lol. He's always got the rest of the French stu....Oh.....well I'm sure he can take solace in _something_ to make the wifey happy.
