Joe: From hot sauce to ranch,
we wanted to try all the exclusive sauces
at fast food restaurants in the US, the UK, and Japan.
This is "Sauce Talk."
Exclusive sauces.
It's sauce talk time.
Sauce Talk.
We have sweet 'n sour sauce.
They gave me
hot mustard.
This was supposed to be honey mustard.
You guys have hot mustard?
I know you don't have honey mustard.
Of course, ranch.
Ooh, spicy Buffalo.
Now, these might be promotions
'cause of that singing group BTS,
but we have right now a
Cajun sauce and a sweet chili sauce.
This sauce is fantastic.
This is the sauce. This has to stay on the menu.
So, these two are new ones.
This one right here is
soy sauce, best sauce.
Man. This is fantastic!
Good job!
Very good taste.
So, this one right here is called
Louisiana hot sauce.
Ooh, it does look like very spicy one.
This is not spicy at all.
I think that these sauces are also specific
only to the US and not the UK.
The KFC Finger Lookin' Good Sauce, see that?
We also have the summertime barbecue sauce.
Honey mustard.
And, of course, buttermilk ranch.
Harry: There are a few sauces which are exclusive to the UK.
For example, we have this Spicy Supercharger dip,
which is kind of like a spicy mayo-type thing.
We have some sweet chili sauce, garlic mayonnaise,
another really good option.
Garlic mayo on chips is just fantastic.
Joe: Why don't we have those sauces here?
Oh, man, I want those.
So this dip pack,
it comes with this fries
and also
these three dipping sauces.
And now for the quickest Sauce Talk ever.
Sauce Talk.
KFC sauce.
If you need something to dip your veggie bites
or anything else into,
then we have a couple of exclusive sauce options as well.
Harry: We'll start with this one, which is a garlic mayo.
And then our other exclusive sauce is this one,
which is a pot of Heinz sweet chili.
We love sweet chili sauce here in the UK.
I don't know why, but it's just offered
by a lot of big fast-food chains.
I got a whole bag here.
Dipping sauces.
Buttermilk ranch.
Ooh, creamy sriracha.
Side of S'Awesome.
Something called the hot chili seasoning.
Harry: Now, the default dipping sauce that will come
with your pizzas is this garlic and herb dip in the UK.
But there are also a couple of sauces
which are exclusive to the UK.
These include a little pot of Frank's RedHot sauce,
and we can also get a honey mustard.
Joe: The Domino's in the US has their own exclusive sauces.
This kicker hot sauce, the sweet mango habanero sauce.
This one is really good.
Ranch. You guys don't have ranch?
Thought you did. Guess not.
Blue cheese dressing, mm.
And, of course, marinara sauce.
So, here is extra sauces.
So, if you want,
you can get green chili sauce or honey syrup.
So, the WingStreet wings you can get at Pizza Hut
also come in exclusive flavors you can't get in Japan.
Here are all the sauces.
Spicy garlic is really good.
Joe's sauce seal of approval.
Teriyaki, this seems like a no-brainer,
but we're not gonna leave it to chance.
No!
Ugh!
I stand corrected. This is terrible.
Doesn't pass.
Garlic Parmesan.
Oh, look, there's Parmesan on top of it.
Oh, yeah!
That might be the best one.
Lemon pepper dry rub.
Why do I have to apply it?
Yeah, not into that, man.
I don't get it.
I don't know what Drake's going on about, man.
The lemon pepper is not very good.
Crucify me, internet!
I don't like lemon pepper dry rub wings!
Should I be -- I think maybe I should be rubbing it,
that's what I'm doing wrong.
Is that too much?
Whoops.
Yep, you were right. Too much.
But it's good.
Also, sauces, real quick,
we got blue cheese.
We got ranch.
You can also get exclusive sauces on the side,
for instance, blue cheese.
You can get yourself some ranch,
a cup of marinara,
and the Buffalo sauces of various temperatures,
honey barbecue sauce.
We've got a tartar sauce.
The Creole cocktail sauce.
Creole is a type of cuisine in Louisiana.
Blackened ranch.
Was this supposed to be for the blackened chicken,
do you think?
And of course we have regular buttermilk ranch.
Well, we already know what ranch is.
Ranchy.
Blackened ranch.
Oh, that's way better.
The sweet heat.
Had this earlier with the tenders,
can confirm, fantastic sauce.
Wild honey mustard
and the bayou Buffalo sauce.
In the UK, we have the following exclusive sauces:
we have this voodoo sweet chili sauce,
which could be quite similar to the US's sweet heat sauce.
Then we have a garlic mayo
as well as a mango habanero sauce,
which sounds really good.
It's not an exclusive,
but shout-out to the Mardi Gras mustard,
because this stuff slaps.
Now, it's not exactly an exclusive,
but it's worth a shout-out.
Musician Megan Thee Stallion
recently launched a collab with Popeyes
and released the Hottie Sauce.
You can get it as a side for dip
or pre-add it to your chicken sandwich.
Or if you're in the UK,
you can dip a hot wing into the Hottie Sauce
and have a hot wing summer.
She's also becoming a Popeyes franchisee,
as she is opening her own Popeyes soon.
And then underneath this, it says,
"Need some 'WAP' content here, open to ideas."
I'm assuming she is the one who did the song "WAP"?
I don't know who this person is.
I've never heard "WAP."
I just know it as a reference on the internet.
And I am going to bask in the glory
that only some my age can,
of not having any idea what a popular thing is.
Ah.
I couldn't get any of them on the side,
but we have exclusive sauces here at the Subway in the US.
We can get a red wine vinegar, a yellow mustard,
a creamy sriracha, a Buffalo sauce, of course,
we also have ranch, chipotle southwest, marinara sauce,
sweet onion sauce, and MVP Parmesan.
The most valuable Parmesan, apparently.
We have four sauces that you won't find in the US,
and they are as follows:
We have a Buffalo sauce; sriracha mayo,
which in my opinion is one of, if not the best, condiment.
Then we have a sweet chili sauce,
and, finally, we have an Asian ginger chili sauce.
Creamy sriracha, ranch,
I'm very fascinated with this,
a pineapple barbecue.
I've never tried the Asian ginger chili sauce before.
Ooh, I like it.
Yeah, that's good.
Ooh, some heat.
Whoo! Definitely hot.
You can see, like, chili flakes
kind of floating around in there,
and that's not a red herring.
Pineapple barbecue.
Pine apple barbecue.
That's fantastic barbecue sauce.
This tastes a lot like
a sweeter, creamier version of McDonald's
standard barbecue sauce.
If they sold this in retail, I would absolutely buy it.
That's very good. Wow!
I love you, Jollibee. OK.
There's only one option in the UK
that you won't be able to find in the US,
and that is HP Sauce.
I won't go into too much detail
in case Joe accuses me of Brit-splaining again,
but for those who don't know, HP sauce is like a --
Joe: The only customization in the US
that you can't get in the UK
is actually something
that everyone in the United States
knows exactly what I'm talking about,
and that is A1 steak sauce.
It looks a lot like the HP brown sauce, but it is not.
It doesn't taste anything like it.
It is the most popular steak sauce.
Ad: A1. It's how steak is done.
Joe: I don't know if it even exists outside of the US.
So, for exclusive wing flavors,
you can get these two,
the Bayou BBQ and the lemon hot.
So, fun fact about me,
I've never actually had ranch before.
This is not a common dressing in the UK.
It's just not really on menus.
We prefer, like, a garlic mayonnaise or a ketchup.
So I'm about to try my first-ever ranch.
See how it goes.
[chicken crunching]
Hmm. OK. OK.
I don't know if Wingstop ranch differs to
the classic ranch you might find in the States,
but it's nice.
If you want, like, a kind of cooling thing
with a similar effect to mayo in that regard,
but, like, a little bit more tang, bit more seasoning.
Yeah, you guys are doing it well.
Now, what this is,
is 10 chicken wings of varying spice levels.
The idea, I guess, is that you order
a plate of these for yourself and your friends,
you all pick one or two,
and the loser gets blasted with some extra-hot sauce.
Now, obviously we have to try this ourselves.
So myself and our cameraperson, Laura,
are going to give this a go and see who loses.
however, due to a reduced menu,
Laura: Are we doing this now?
Harry: I think we are. Laura: All right.
OK that one looks...
yeah, you're going dangerous, aren't you?
Harry: I'm going for, like, a menacingly red one.
Laura: Yes, you are. I'm going for
the less menacing-looking one.
Harry: Well, hopefully it's a red herring
and I've done this to deceive you.
Harry: Cheers. Laura: Cheers.
52-fluid-ounce Simply Lemonade.
And finally, in the UK,
you can finish off your meal with some churros.
Laura: Absolutely fine.
Harry: It was OK? Laura: Yeah.
It is spicy. It's not, like, blowing my head off.
I feel like mine's maybe hot?
But if that's extra hot,
then I'm, like, very underwhelmed.
including Oreo or Lotus Biscoff.
Slight anticlimax.
I think Laura maybe just got, like, a medium
or a plain one, because she was not fazed at all.
I think maybe I got hot?
If that was extra hot,
I'm very disappointed. All I'll say.
Little cocky there, buddy.
Mm.
So, I got myself a bottle
of the Nando's Peri-Peri XX hot sauce,
and I too want to try the spiciest level that they offer.
OK. Whoop, that might've been too much.
Did I say that in the right order?
That's extra hot, huh?
No, not very strong.
I like the flavor a lot on it, but – wait.
Hm, definitely manageable.
Yeah. I mean, like, I love the flavor of all this stuff.
It's just not that hot.
[sneezes]
Now, for those of you who think I got off lightly
and actually want to see me in pain,
you're in luck, because in the UK
we have an exclusive spice level
that goes above extra hot.
Here we have three chicken wings coated in Vusa XX sauce,
which is one level above extra hot
on the Nando's Peri-ometer.
These already look hotter
than anything that was in the roulette box.
There's lots of chili flakes on them that are visible,
and it's just that kind of, like, alarming red color
that if you see a snake that color,
you're supposed to run away from.
Some snakes are friendly. [laughs]
Grass snakes. Grass snakes are cool.
And, of course, because I hate myself,
I'm going to try one of these.
They didn't give us gloves,
like they did in the Wingstop episode,
which I guess is a good sign?
I'm not great with spice, so let's see how this goes.
Hm.
Bit of a slow burn.
Really slow burn.
Not really getting much from this, I'll be honest.
Maybe if I just rub my eyes.
I'm not really getting it.
That's disappointing.
I, like I say, I'm not good with spice.
But I'm handling that with ease.
Nando's, come on.
It would have made for better content
if you made me cry, guys, so.
It's about the same as what I got from there.
Y'all tried your really hot wings, right?
Well, I just wanted a taste of the hot sauce
that they provided us with here.
If I can get it open at any point in my life.
Hulk.
Nando's peri-peri sauce, hot. Gluten-free.
[coughs]
Excuse me.
[coughs]
Committing su–[laughs and coughs]
No.
That's for the camera.
[laughing]
I should get an Oscar.
[crowd cheers]
It was a little hot.
But it wasn't, like, too hot, like I'm dying.
I did that to trick you.
Do you see how I became a double agent?
I actually did have a reaction.
It just hits you in the throat.
It's like...[whacks throat]
Now, at the other end of the heat scale from Vusa,
we have one more exclusive baste,
which is the Peri-Tamer.
This is described as mild and sweet,
and it's just for people who don't really like spice.
Of course we're adding white and red sauces, right?
OK.
The white sauce pouch.
One of these is roughly 330 calories,
37 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat,
420 milligrams of sodium.
420. [bell dings]
And 2 grams of carbs.
See this guy right here?
Each package of their hot sauce adds only 7 calories,
but 89 milligrams of sodium.
Let's talk about the red sauce.
Now, according to the Halal Guys website,
their red sauce ranges from between
100,000 to 130,000 on the Scoville scale.
To put that in perspective,
sriracha is somewhere around 2,500
on the same scale,
and the infamous "Hot Ones" Da Bomb sauce
is around 135,000.
So pretty close to this.
Halal Guys has something called
the Hot Sauce Challenge.
What it is, is a small platter
with 20 lines of their hot sauce,
and you've got to be able to eat
the whole thing in 10 minutes
with no assistance of any beverages,
not only during while you're eating it,
but also five minutes after.
Sorry, what are we doing?
So, one, two --
It's times like this where you're like,
"I should have a will written, just in case."
That's four. Oh, my God.
If I don't make it out of this,
someone tell my cat that I love him.
20. I'll just put this whole thing in there.
[laughs]
This is such a bad idea.
Yeah.
All right.
[ominous music plays]
Whoa. Yo!
[coughs]
Oh, my God. This stuff is really hot.
Oh, man. I'm getting a metallic taste in my mouth,
like my mouth might be bleeding.
[laughs]
[coughs]
OK. Yep, that's immediately spicy.
No slow burn here.
Oh, God.
This was a mistake.
[coughs]
It's, like, really good, dude.
Oh, God. More.
How long's it been?
[cry-laughs]
OK, OK. I think I can manage this.
[laughs]
My eyes are watering.
The throat is hurting.
[clears throat]
This is really hot.
My tongue, back of the mouth, everything.
[pounding]
No way I'm lasting five minutes.
I'm breaking early. God.
[steam hisses]
I'm throwing in the towel. I can't do it.
Producer: Yeah? Joe: Yeah. Holy s---.
How long was that?
Producer: Three minutes and 10 seconds.
See, Nando's? That is spice.
If you advertise something as spicy, at least deliver.
And that's what Halal Guys have done.
[production crew laughing]
Whew!
