You're not supposed to go and lift weights,
and come out and go,
"Hmm, feel like a protein snack,
pass me to pork scratchings," are you?
[CONNOR, PRODUCER] If one of the fighters
fighting one of your cards was eating them pre-fight,
what would you be saying?
I mean, can you imagine?
You know, it's like he's in the hotel lobby,
and I walk over, "All right mate, what you got there?"
"Oh yeah, pork scratchings."
What's going on?
All right, this is Eddie Hearn,
and this is Snack Wars for SPORTbible,
and it's US versus UK snacks.
[CONNOR] Do you like American food?
I do like American food.
It's a different level, isn't it?
It's different levels of obesity.
For me, that's good.
Oh-ho-ho, naughty.
I am absolutely starving.
So we've got a Big Mac, and my mouth is watering.
And we've got a sausage roll.
What a great day.
Hm!
Ah, so good.
Do you know what?
I've never had a Big Mac.
[CONNOR] What's your order...
I've had a Quarter Pounder with cheese,
and the normal burger.
And I've grown to love the gherkin,
I think it's a necessity,
to be honest with you.
It's still warm as well.
[CONNOR] Only the best.
I've never had a Greggs sausage roll.
Hmm!
It's a tough one actually,
but I haven't eaten all day,
and that first bite was epic.
I'm gonna go for the Big Mac.
Cor, that was really nice.
I'm on a real strict diet, and I haven't eaten all day.
That was so nice.
I feel like you need a bigger cloche.
Okay.
So we've got
a nice Bud, oh, nice and cold as well.
But it has to be so cold, a beer.
Never really liked Budweiser.
[CONNOR] What do you think of
American beer in general?
Poor.
I like the bottled beers in America.
So like Michelob Light, Coors Light,
all the real hardcore stuff.
And then we've got Scrumpy Jack.
Quite emotionally attached to Scrumpy Jack,
because in my first ever job
I used to represent sportsmen,
and one was Ian Botham, obviously the cricketer.
And my first ever deal that I did
was with Scrumpy Jack and Ian Botham.
It's fascinating!
I mean this,
I'm not really a cider fan.
If there's anyone out watching this who's my age,
or anyone in here, you remember K Cider,
which was the black bottles with the red...
You used to take four or five of those
to a house party, gone for the night!
Oh,
that is absolutely dreadful.
But I'm sorry,
we've gotta go USA.
Okay, this is my go-to in the hotel lobby.
Pork crackling, really?
It's kind of become like a health food.
Look, 18g of protein and only 134 calories,
but will clog up your arteries all day long.
Um, I really like, I really like this.
But when I eat this, I start thinking to myself,
"What part of a cow is that?"
When you look at those, you know,
they can't be good for you, can they?
Smell terrible.
Like, funnily enough, if you went into a pigsty, right,
that is what you'd smell.
Do you remember before everyone went healthy,
and they just had the Mr. Porkies,
and you knew they were filth, you know?
So you ate it, and you went,
"These are just so bad for you."
I kind of feel these ones are a bit confused.
So they're like,
we're trying to make this a protein health snack,
but at the end of the day, it's still pork scratchings.
That's not what pork scratchings are meant to be.
You're not supposed to go and lift weights
and come out and go, "Hmm, I feel like a protein snack,
pass me the pork scratchings". Are you?
[CONNOR] If one of the fighters
fighting on one of your cards was eating them pre-fight,
what would you be saying?
I mean, can you imagine?
He's in the hotel lobby and I walk over,
"All right, mate, what you got there?"
"Oh, pork scratchings."
What's going on?
That's okay, 'cause they're 18g of protein,
and only 134 calories.
See what you're trying to do,
but I'm a bit old school.
For me,
the beef jerky gets the win.
Ohh!
My dad loves liquorice.
I think they're one of the most disgusting things.
Ah, the smell, awful!
So bad!
Natural colours and flavouring.
So natural, it might have come out the ground, I'm not sure.
Awful, but what is this?
Oh, Toxic Waste, green sour candy.
Jesus Christ!
Jesus, sour!
I can't eat that.
That is unbelievably rank.
I never ever thought I would say this in my lifetime.
I'm going with the Liquorice Allsorts,
which is absolutely revolting,
versus this Toxic Waste thing,
that should just be banned from all stores.
Oh, this is, this is bad news for the UK,
because I hate Twiglets.
These are serious crisps,
and I'm very passionate about crisps.
If you would've put Monster Munch there,
I wouldn't have even opened them.
But not Twiglets.
Awful.
It's a bit like pretzels,
you know like plain pretzels.
I don't understand who would buy them.
How can you eat that and go, "Ah, hmm, Twiglets,
hmm, my favourite."
Sorry, Twiglets.
But, look, this is what I'm saying about America,
look at the size of that!
Now, if that was a Wotsit, it would be half the size.
Every trip to America, I eat these.
You know like in the hotel lobby,
they've got that little shop.
They've always got Cheetos in it.
This is an absolute drubbing.
I'm gonna have to go with the US.
Don't ever come around my house with Twiglets,
always come loaded with Cheetos.
Right, come on, it must be sort of dessert time.
Yes!
Absolutely awful,
the worst chocolate you could possibly get
is Hershey's Kisses.
Now these, these are the governor!
When you go into the petrol station,
and you see the magic sign: one pound. For the snack bags.
You're like, Minstrels, Galaxy,
like the smooth Minstrels as well, Buttons.
I'll throw up!
You know, when you find some chocolate
that you hid like four years ago in your house,
and you eat it, that's what they taste like.
Hmm, I love chocolate.
[CONNOR] Is that your vice?
Bad, yeah. Really bad.
Take 'em away.
Buttons for the win, UK, baby.
I feel bad saying it,
but it was a big victory, USA for the win.
I actually feel sick.
Started off so well.
When you get home to the Missus, she goes,
"Have you been drinking today, on a Tuesday?".
It's like, "No, I swear, what it was was,
we were doing this Snack Wars."
She's like, "Oh, f**k off."
