Mexican Moms Try BRITISH Candy For The First Time! 

It's a bit worrying lol

I was thinking the exact same thing 😂😂

When she said Smarties *AREN’T* sweet i was like huhhhh 😮

Yeah same

The crazy thing is that UK sweets have more actual sugar than USA candy... But the American stuff is sweeter because of all the HFCS they use!

Remember our dumb government putting on a sugar tax

@@joesheppard5960 that and the fact that the FDA also allow harmful stuff into public consumption which is banned in other countries, especially in candies. Our stuff isn't a huge amount less sweet than before just because of sugar tax either. There's always lots of local healthy eating campaigns across the UK and because we're a small country, the manufacturers can't help but react to that too.

We don’t put essence of sick into our chocolates.

@@joesheppard5960 sugar tax is only for fizzy drinks

I think is more to do with both the different National tastes and because the US pumps everyng with High Frucrose corn syrup and the UK is more likely to use pure Sugar. Indeed the use of artificial thing in UK food is frowned upon.

haha marmite is the marmite of our confectionary! I get what you mean though, I personally love Turkish delight, even the fry's one gives me a crazy hit of nostalgia from when my grandmother used to give me one every time I left her house. very floral flavour and the fry's one obviously isn't the best quality so I can understand why people wouldn't like it apparently some people think it tastes of soap. I was more amazed that all of the mums liked the fruit salad sweets, I always assumed it was one of those very English flavours that most other places would hate. nothing like a tin of tizer or lilt and a packet of fruit salads of the way home from school as a kid though.

I thought of the exact same thing!

Love turkish delight, but i also love Marmite haha well NZ Marmite

I only heard of Turkish delight from a 3rd grade teacher who read the Chronicles of Narnia to us every day after lunch. I didn't think it was a real food, so my brain was coming up with a real fantasy of it - maybe it tastes like bubble gum or clouds, or creamy like milk candies. Now there is a chain in the US called World Market where they sell mostly imported goods. I happened upon a beautiful box of Turkish delight there, and I was initially so excited to take it home and scarf it all like Edmund did, since it must be that good. Sorry to say that I was let down by the rosy flavor and very powdery-gummy texture. 😅 I was a kid though, expecting something sweet and fruity in most of my colorful snacks. I'll probably hunt down a box again and see how it is as an adult, since I really enjoy botanical flavors now.

I love it 🤣

i feel like i'd actually prefer that, bc oftentimes i find the candy here to be too sweet

@@novaflorencia our sweets/candy still has lots of sugar, I think we're known to have the most sugar in our sweets in the world! But definitely give it a go, Amazon do selection boxes 🙂

Jesus is King

@@matthewlawrence4899 Dios te Ama

Up my alley then, I stopped enjoying most of my childhood candies because it feels like my teeth are about to dissolve when I eat them

How come I got some British sweets and it had both artificial colours and flavours? Must be a Belfast thing

It's not to do with artificial colours and flavours, plenty of UK food uses those, but its down to two big things probably; different laws on the formulation of chocolate and the use of high fructose corn syrup. Chocolate in the US doesn't need to include nearly as high a percentage of cacao, so the resulting chocolate is much sweeter as sugar makes up a higher proportion of the product. The US also frequently uses HFCS as a sweetener in place of sugar in a wide range of things like sweets, fizzy drinks etc. This is for political and economic reasons; the government offers huge subsidies that encourage US based farmers to grow corn (the reason for this is the enormous lobbying power of the agricultural industry on local and federal politics), which makes it much cheaper to use the corn derived HFCS instead of sugar.

@@VirtuReality360 There are quite a few artificial ingredients that are permitted, but a lot of our sweets like to take pride in and advertise the fact that they have neither. For a long time we never had light blue smarties because of the colouring having adverse effects on kids' attention and hyperactivity- I don't recall if that colouring was outright banned or just dropped out of use. I know one colouring we used to banned, but technically don't anymore after Brexit is called "Titanium Dioxide". It's commonly used in the US as both a food and *paint* colouring...

Yup!

I think that’s good actually, so kids normalize eating candies with less sugar

Afraid starburst was invented in the uk

@@user-jake272 That's what I said though.

They're still Opal Fruits to me.

@@christinamoxon recently they. Brought opal fruits limited pack back out. I seen them last week. I was talking to my partner and told her they used to be called opal fruits as she didn’t know. And I walked past them in the shops like 2 days later. I was like what are the chances

Sweets*

As an Englishman living in England, I love Mexican women!!

@@gabbzthe1st984 🤦🏻

@@Steve-xz9gp Go and play with your lizards Steve

I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME HERE

We don't have many mexican people in England for some reason

As a european who has been to america many a time you are right. They dont do sweet stuff well. They do savory food very well but anything sweet is sickeningly sweet imo.

@@moldveien1515 that sounds disgusting

@@pinksunoo9799 it is rank mate. It will make you since they same way as if you’ve ate a lemon except it being too sweet. They are all on the level of maple syrup

@@Belisarius536 lemons are good ngl. I'm really good with sour stuff but sweet things definitely have a border and can definitely go too far

@@pinksunoo9799 lemons and limes are awesome and the super sour acidic sweets, I’ve loved them since I was a kid. Yeah I agree, I’m the same when it comes to sweet things. If things are too sweet it overpowers the other flavours. What about lemon curd, do you like it? I used to hate it and I always thought it as an old foggy’s sweet or something your gran would eat. You know how they would have stuff from their time like, dark chocolate or eating a packet of mints lol. It’s kind of growing on me now I’ve started to like it, since I’ve gotten older or maybe I’m a foggy now lol

Aww, our mamás cannot wait to try more!🇬🇧❤️

it's always twiglets, marmite and monster munch 😂

Current TCO just falls apart. It used to be a solid lump with a chocolate core but it hasn't been that way for years.

@@AntonGully yeah I noticed this during Christmas. All my Choc Oranges just fell apart?! I also think the wedges are smaller 😅 I’ve smashed them on the floor in previous years

what do u mean hard work?? all they are doing is trying new foods and getting paid for it. if anything, they should consider themselves lucky already for that jobs that they have.

@@arc24CH I think eh. m is referring to their hard work in relation to being mums. Also everyone deserves a vacation.

These ladies would be welcome to England anytime I'm sure. Adios bonitas.

@@barbaratg5230England is beautiful

I like you guys BAKEWELL TARTS. They should try that next time!

@@GlobalAdventurer Yes indeed they should they are truly delicious 🍒🥧 ❤️

I’m from the states and VERY jealous of the candies from the UK.

@@CreativeCreatorCreates I’m the total opposite haha

@@CreativeCreatorCreates I’m kinda jealous about the things that you have in the USA that we don’t here in the Uk I could write a book of how much cool stuff you guys have

Lucy liked it

I love Fry's Turkish Delight

We don’t all agree with you 🤣

I like Turkish delight

i love turkish delight

We don’t call it candy

😂😂 same!

😂🤣

My nephew was banned from eating Smarties when he was a kid in the 90s, then again, any E numbers were banned from my sister’s house because he’d be a tiny hyper monster!

As a Brit, I love the explanations of our sweets/chocolate… then the end made me spit out my tea 💀

I also have,smacked my sister upside the head with a chocolate orange

@Neal Grimes, Did she also get the chocolate orange as compensation?

Mars bars do contain caramel. Caramel is made from sugar. Sugar is from a plant....ergo vegan.

IKR

Get your suitcase ready because we do sell these year round 😉 but they’re amazing to have over Christmas!! If you go to a British supermarket over Christmas you’ll see the shelves would be empty of those because they’re so popular.

You can get them everywhere all year round. They also sell a bar version. Around Christmas, they reduce the price to £1 for a whole chocolate orange.

Yep they're everywhere all year round, there are different types as well like dark chocolate orange which is lovely. Cheap too.

Yup, you buy them in most shops usually for about £1.

@@misterprecocious2491 🤯 They are between $3 and $5 here in the US, if I'm not mistaken that's around £3 or £4

Just makes you think how sweet americans sweets are. Honestly they are so sweet it makes you wince like the same reaction if you’d tasted a lemon juice except from the sweetness

@@Belisarius536 a lot of it is because of artificial favouring, they aren't used to real flavours, actual natural colours etc. Ive seen Mexican sweets before and a lot of em I wouldn't classify as "sweet", they are made from tamarind or had chilli in em!

yeah they made me sick once ive hated them ever since

Just the thought of jelly babies gives me a headache they are so sweet

it makes me wonder how sweet their sweets must be haha

Come and visit us if you can 🤗

@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 I hope to go soon! Ty 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Please visit us but don't say "candy"!! We never use this term as it's a ridiculous Americanism.

@@questionmark9819 sorry! I’m used to the American expressions, but then how can I replace the word “candy”?

@@petcheetahh hello, please don't apologise, I thought I was being helpful. A lot of the time we use the brand names but generally candy makes us think of candy canes hanging on a Christmas tree. If you want chocolate you would specify whether you want a bar of chocolate for baking or something but if you're after a twix or Mars for example, you would just say the name. We generally say "sweets" but I think this can ambiguous, skittles are considered as sweets but they're sweet and sour flavoured but then another type of sweet is jelly beans which are again different but sweets, it depends whether they're sugar or chocolate based, sorry this is long lol! Whatever flavour, you're after, we'll have it. Whether it's milky chocolate or dark chocolate, filled with caramel, nuts and marshmallows or just plain (which for some reason plain chocolate is known as dark chocolate, no idea why!) or if you biscuits which Americans refer to as cookies, we have them. We have twinkies too and other hostess brand stuff too but I don't if hugely popular, I have tried them and they a horrendous chemical taste and it's really off putting. I have seen videos where people try our various snacks and it's strange to see them being that way, like the Turkish delight bar in this video, you bite in to it, turkish delight is thick and you would never tear it. Also, our chocolate is not as strong apparently, I have heard many people say American chocolate is revolting. Hope this helps?

Not Cadburys...its made by Mars inc...love Milky Way Magic Stars also

Milky Way was advertised as the sweet you can eat without filling you up when I was a lad

That sounds so condescending lol

​​@@RuubinSelena loll really, I think it sounds like all immigrant parents. I grew up pronouncing words wrong because of my parents, but I wouldn't change anything. I don't think it sounds condescending tbh, I think it's just something they noticed, and I don't think it should be taken as an insult, it's not a bad thing to pronounce some of these words wrong

​@@RuubinSelena Don't you mean it sounds condensation?

It’s called an accent

My Canadian friends loved when I took prawn cocktail crisps over for them

What did these poor women do to deserve this?

Do include Jaffa Cakes, they all loved the chocolate/orange combination.

We do have some lovely sweets. If you come over, be sure to try our puddings/desserts as well :)

@@faithpearlgenied-a5517 yeah, for sure! :D

if you live in the US most popular british candy can be found in Publix

@@lilacfields where is that?

@@phoenix2.020 publix is a grocery store and it has a huge international section! however, it might not be in some parts of the US i’m not really sure 🥲 still many big stores have international sections with british candy if you’d like to try some. look the next time you go shopping bcs their candy is very good!

She's my favourite, she's so lovely.

Parce que le Québec a beaucoup d’influence européenne

@@mar754 C'est vrai! mais pour dire, je vis à Montréal depuis plus de 30 ans...donc sincèrement, on est influencé par tout les continents! Perso, j'apprécie de pouvoir manger de la nourriture de tout les pays sans voyager! Mais je me demande vraiment pourquoi j'ai toujours pensé que les Smarties type chocolat, était unique au Canada!

A long time back - we're talking several decades! - an uncle who lived in Canada (he passed away a few years ago) brought over a couple of Hershey bars for my brother and I to try. It's so long ago I barely remember it now, but compared to British chocolate it was definitely second division; far less chocolate taste from distant memory.

I like them a lot, but I'm one of those annoying people who eat the chocolate off and then eats the Turkish Delight!

Ahora que recomiendas Cadbury, de hecho, no sé porqué sera, pero Cadbury me parece muy muy dulce, como excesivo, no se si solo seré yo, pero es como que demasiado.

@@asshh1114 ahh si, en cuanto a Cadbury estoy de acuerdo, sabe bastante dulce, pero sabe distinto de chocolate americano, y hay muchos sabores diferentes como 'wholenut', 'fruit n nut' , 'caramilk', 'oreo milk', 'oreo white', 'darkmilk' , y más.

Should have replaced wine gums with curly wurly.

Winegums are 🔥

Then that woman’s teeth really would’ve fell out with a curly wurly! 😂

Yes it would be, because chocolate isn’t sweets. If you want to refer to chocolates and sweets collectively, they are called confectionery.

@@lovepeace5845 incorrect. Cocoa is not sweet. You may not refer to chocolate as "sweets" where you are from, but in Australia we do. We refer to basically all non chocolate sweets as "lollies".

Book that flight. We are many nationalities, you'd love it here. Except for the lack of sun!

@@eumaeusEngland has only one nationality, English

In Australia we have mars and Milky way they taste different

​@@CandyMsp-gw2qu We have both Mars and Milky Way in the UK too.

Yes!! I've had them covered in dark chocolate from Trader Joe's. Scrumptious!!

A chocolate orange isn’t chocolate covered orange slices. It’s chocolate flavoured with orange oil.

@@amyw6808 Okay, but it's made to resemble orange slices is it not?

​@@amyw6808 It was obvious what they meant 🙄

So fun fact the 'white candy bag' is how use to buy a lot sweets in the UK, so youd go to the corner shop buy them by the weight and they'd come in those bags.it's Shame do see as much nowadays, loved it when was a kid, as meant you could get more or less depending on your budget.

I prefer the real Turkish ones without the chocolate and preferably with pistachio.

I think it’s because England is too expensive for us and too far away as well, yes British music here is very popular. England is my favorite country thanks to my favorite rock bands, can u imagine i’m 25 and since i was little i wanted to go to the UK but i know someday i will be somewhere in England drinking beer with the lads in a pub watching football and singing some good tunes, we love British people :).
