- Crunchatize Me Cap'n.
Crunchatize Me Cap'n.
What does that mean?
- Cereal.
The breakfast of people who are too lazy to make anything.
Cereal is one of the greatest things.
And today I am going to be eating some British cereals.
And on the other end, I have sent Ada, BuzzFeed producer,
and real life British person, some American cereals.
And the two are surprisingly different.
- I love cereal, because all you need
is milk, cereal and a bowl.
(upbeat music playing)
Cap'n Crunch. Oh my God.
There's like a word search on the back.
For each cereal doesn't have games with it.
I like the Captain.
Crunchatize Me Cap'n.
What does that mean?
Sugar.
Straight away.
Okay.
I see where this is going. I predict a good time.
Slaps.
I can feel the sugar going through my veins.
I can see why people are into it.
It tastes good, but like,
I don't know how you give this to kids
before they go to school.
Captain.
I salute you.
- Next up we got this monstrosity, Weetabix.
The name Weetabix does not do it for me.
How was this Britain's favorite cereal?
Even that logo, it's shaped like a capsule.
This is medicine.
I don't wanna eat medicine for breakfast.
This kinda fell apart a little bit.
Oops.
Let's try to get one intact one outta here.
This looks like horse food.
I don't even know what's holding it together.
Is it like sheer force of will?
I'm not giving this a fair shot.
Let's pour some milk into this.
Cause apparently you're supposed to let it get
a little bit soggy or something.
Mash it up with a big boy spoon.
Let's see.
Oh it's just high on fiber, so much (bleep),
so we're gonna be good.
Soaking it in the milk makes it better.
Somehow, this is growing on me as I eat more of it.
Yes it's a soggy mush,
and yes it doesn't have really any flavor,
but like it's kind of satisfying to eat.
- Grape-Nuts, which I don't know,
it's like something that your mom would like make you eat
when you had like constipation or something.
Damn, maybe I do need this Grape-Nuts
cause I'm weak as (bleep).
It doesn't look great.
It tastes like the cardboard box it came in.
Like it's not even softening up with the milk.
It's (bleep) solid, what is this?
I'm chewing for so long.
Power through power through power through.
Nah. Why, why would you do this to people?
- Honey Monster.
Ada said it was good.
She said she used to eat it when she was a kid.
It's got vitamins.
Sorry.
It's got vitamins.
He's eyes are just staring deep into my soul and making me
question all my life decisions up to this point
and really making me want cereal.
Let's eat some Honey Monster.
This is a big box.
This is what they'd call in America, a single serving.
I use the big boy spoon because I'm a big boy now.
Mom.
Yeah, the texture is definitely kinda like puffed rice.
The cereal is already starting to get soggy
and it's been in this bowl for like 20 seconds.
This is not too sweet,
the honey isn't an overpowering flavor.
You can still taste the grain underneath it.
It tastes like the healthy kinda sweet
rather than the just sugary kinda sweet.
- Next on the list.
The old, Reese's Puffs.
(chuckles)
I know about Reese's chocolaty things.
The only ones I've had were filled with like weed.
When I went to LA.
So those are really fun.
I don't know if it's gonna give me the same
amount of excitement.
(laughs)
If you've got an allergy, this ain't for you boo.
That (beep) is potent.
You've got these little balls.
A dark ball and a light ball, unity.
(music playing)
I think this cereal is all smell because the smell was like,
I've stuck two peanut butter chunks up my nose
and it's entered my brain.
But then the taste ain't that peanut buttery.
I think it was quite nice.
It definitely wasn't as sugary as Captain Crunch .
So it's like more of my level.
That's my favorite so far because it wasn't too much.
- Curiously Cinnamon.
This one reminds me a lot of like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
I like these little guys on it.
I like their eyes.
I always found it a bit weird when companies
anthropomorphize foods that you're eating,
because it's just like,
"Why are you giving the thing that I'm eating a face?"
Pour that cinnamon in there?
There's like little patterns on the cereals.
That's a lot like Cinnamon Toast Crunch,
but these pieces are a little bit like puffier, I guess.
They seem a little bit denser.
I do really like it though.
Well, I'm 25 years old and eating cereal at 7:00 PM.
Thriving.
As with the Honey Monster, the cinnamon flavor on this
isn't super overpower.
It's subtle enough that you still get the flavor,
but you can also taste the underlying grain of the cereal.
Which is nice cause it kinda balances the sweetness out
a little bit.
- So, Sour Patch Kids.
Kids, you are gonna be buzzing your tits off
after you have is if you're going to school.
Has a thing on the back.
You wake up in a blank place crack then.
I'm so sorry.
Oh my God.
You can not tell me,
you guys are giving this to kids in the morning?
I'm starting to understand America's health problems.
I don't have to eat another one.
That (bleep) sweet and sour like a Sour Patch Kid.
You might as well just put the gummy bears
and then put some milk on it.
I'm sorry.
I'm apologizing to my stomach.
"You are gonna (bleep) yourself straight after this."
(bleep)
(laughing)
I'm so sorry.
I can't eat it.
The second that touched my it was like, "Nah."
I'm sorry I can't believe I just spat that out.
I cannot believe that this is even a product.
You guys are crazy.
That was an experience.
- Krave.
They're not even trying to disguise
the fact that this is straight sugar.
I was talking to Ada before this and she was like,
"Oh, American cereals are so sweet."
And then you come at me with this.
Literal just chocolate inside of cereal.
I don't know what I expected.
It just tastes like milk chocolate wrapped in cereal.
The actual cereal outside itself
is actually pretty flavorless.
You break through into the chocolate and the chocolate
has such a strong, sweet flavor that you forget
that the outside was flavorless.
I do like it, but it is so sweet.
I'm definitely not gonna be able to eat
this whole bowl right now.
If I were a child, I would think this was perfect.
I thought I wasn't gonna finish it,
but I'm lying to myself
if I say that I don't like sweet things.
I am still a child I'm just trying not to be.
(upbeat music playing)
- American cereals, yeah.
You guys are doing too much.
I hope Dakota has fun with the cereals that I sent to him.
We went through sugar tax and then the government
sort of taxed the sugar more,
and then like all of that stuff kind of got a bit blander.
I might actually finish the Reese's Puffs
cause that was hitting like that was really hitting.
But the rest of them,
I'm gonna give them to my boyfriend or I have siblings.
- So what did we learn here today?
We learned that British cereal
can be just as sweet as American cereal.
I'm gonna say my favorite cereal today was probably
Curiously Cinnamon.
Overall, I'm a pretty happy guy.
I've got four boxes of cereal here that I can eat
for the next week or two for breakfast,
and what's better than that?
Thank you so much for watching.
Don't forget to like and subscribe and let me know
what your favorite cereal from your country is.
Maybe I'll try it sometime.
