(Wheezy gasps)
(Hameda laughs)
- The sugar's kicked in! (Ev and Wheezy laugh)
(Ev and Wheezy scream)
- But if this is good, I'm set for life.
[Hameda] Today, we are ranking vegan ice creams.
(Sybil cheers) - Hey guys!
This is my first video at Buzzfeed Oz.
I'm a new producer here. I'm so excited.
- I'm Wheezy, I'm new to Buzzfeed.
I've just joined as a writer.
- In the last ice cream ranking video,
we got a lot of requests to do vegan ice creams,
and that's what we're going to do today.
- I have high expectations,
because I am pretty convinced that plant-based desserts
are the best kinds of dessert. - Wow!
- I don't, you know, I don't,
can I swear on this?
- Yeah. (Ev laughs)
- I don't, I don't screw with cream, man.
(Ev laughs)
- So even though it's vegan,
I do expect this ice cream to be creamy, full of flavor.
- It needs to taste as good as the real stuff
for me to really want to convert.
- There are five tiers from super god to nah.
So let's see how these vegan ice creams measure up.
- [Ev] So this is
the Connoisseur plant-based vanilla brownie.
- Looks very appetizing. Smells like chocolate.
(Ev hums) - Oh my god.
- I feel like I'm just going to love everything.
- It's airy. Does it feel airy to you?
- It does disappear very quickly. (Sybil hums)
- Considering I'm not a huge dark chocolate fan,
that's a really nice... - It's a really, yeah.
- Crunch. - It's very smooth, I'll say.
- If you gave me this,
and you didn't tell me it was plant-based,
I literally wouldn't question it.
- Yeah, same!
- The middle is kind of
bland.
- It's also not delivering anything special.
- An OK for this one.
- I'm going to agree. I think this is an OK.
It's not, it's not phenomenal.
- Yeah, it's forgettable. So I reckon it's OK.
- Yeah, same, same, same.
- I love Magnum chocolate! - Magnums are the best!
- But the chocolate, like have you had the one in the tub
where you have to crack the chocolate?
- No! (Ev groans)
- Oh, I feel nuts in this. - Yeah, they're really...
- So I'm excited.
- There are nuts. You were right.
- There are? - Yeah.
- Dig in. Cheers!
(Wheezy hums) - I miss dark chocolate.
- I really like the chocolate.
It's got a crunch. - Yes!
The chocolate tastes better than the Connoisseur.
- Ooh! The ice cream popped.
- It's so vanilla-y, right?!
You feel it straight away, like knocks you out.
- Does it vanilla-y to you?
- No. - No!
- I prefer this one.
- Yeah, definitely. (Ev hums in excitement)
- Sorry.
- I actually like the ice cream on the inside.
I'm not mad at it.
I'd go OK.
- If I could do like a high OK for this one,
then this is where I'm putting it.
- [Hameda] There's five tiers.
(Ev laughs) - Well...
- We need 12 tiers! - We need more!
- I think I'm going to have to give this one a Meh.
- Really? - Yeah.
- No!
- I think I like the Connoisseur one better.
- I'm gonna go god.
Maybe like a low god?
- Yeah, a low god!
Yeah, see we need the high lows!
(Wheezy gasps)
[Wheezy] Oh, my god, it's an affoga,
it's an affogato!
I'm already here for this.
- Dru, okay, - Yay!
- I love drumsticks, like the original ones,
because of that tiny little chocolate thing at the bottom.
- It's got coffee in it,
which already means that this is going to be stunning.
- It looks so pretty.
- It's beautiful.
This is stunning.
- The cone!
(Wheezy gasps) - Oh my God! It's so dark!
(Ev hums)
- No! My new skirt! - Oh, no!
- What I like about this is that I can actually now taste
the ice cream without the chocolate.
What I don't like about it is that now I know that I don't
like this vegan ice cream.
(Sybil and Hameda laugh)
- Ooh. It even looks like poo. (Wheezy laughs)
- It's not creamy to me at all.
- It's very airy.
- [Wheezy] Okay, you're back.
- [Ev] Slight accident.
The coffee, I'm not like, I'm just, I don't,
I'm not, I'm not.
- I'm gonna do the bite.
- [Ev] Yeah, it's necessary.
(Cones crunching) (Sybil hums)
- Oh, my god!
- That takes like the real thing in the bottom.
- Yeah.
- Love the cone!
- That was the best part of this whole ice cream.
Just biting the bottom off.
I'd say just do that and toss the rest.
(Hameda laughs)
- Get rid of the top, and just suck the bottom.
(Ev and Wheezy laugh)
- This is going to get a meh for me.
- Yeah, me too.
- Top is like a, like a meh,
or a, maybe even like a nah for me.
(Ev hums in agreement)
but the bottom is like maybe a super god!
- Yes! I have to agree!
So where the hell do we put this in?
- Maybe we just... - Split it?
- Yeah, split the difference? In the middle.
- Yeah, okay.
- It's an OK. - It's an OK.
- [Hameda] This is the Weis dark chocolate and raspberry.
- [Ev] The color the pink. - [Sybil] Yeah.
- You seem very excited about the smell.
- It smells coconut-y. Do you smell it?
(Hameda sniffing) - I can just smell chocolate.
(Wheezy and Ev hum)
- Oh my God. Yes!
- Oh my God. (Sybil hums in agreement)
- Some other coconut ones, they kind of bowl you over.
This is subtle. This adds to the flavor.
- Ooh!
- I love the combo, the raspberry and the chocolate.
Beautiful! Ugh!
- How does that raspberry actually tastes like raspberries?
Like you even get like that tartness at the end.
I'm expecting to chew on seeds at some point.
- Oh, my god, yes! - Party!
- So good!
- The chocolate is super creamy and thick.
This is hands down super God. - Same.
- God? - Super god!
- And super god.
- And a chef's kiss for added benefit.
- Non-vegans watching. Just go and buy this to eat it.
It's so good. Like, don't be deterred by the vegan label.
I know some of you are.
- [Ev] Ooh! - [Wheezy] This looks fancy!
This looks like, straight up like cookie dough.
- I think it is!
- Is this Ben & Jenny's? Ben & Jenny's?
- The Ben & Jenny's?!
- The cookie dough ice cream at Ben & Jerry's is a classic,
so I'm really excited they've made a vegan option.
(Hameda laughs)
- I don't know what you're trying to tell me.
(Hameda and Sybil laugh)
- It's giving me like a...
(Ev clicks her tongue) feeling,
because this ice cream side hasn't got that creaminess.
- Yeah.
- It's crunchy.
(Hameda laughs) - That'd be the cookie dough.
- I've had two chunks of this cookie dough,
and, look, I can't remember what Play Doh tastes like,
but I'm pretty sure it tastes a little like Play Doh.
- I think it's really good.
- I would be happy to eat this as a vegan.
As a nonvegan, I really like the chunks of cookie dough.
- The chocolate chips are good,
but are they enough to save the ice cream?
I don't know.
- I'm gonna give this one a god.
- Super god for me.
- I'm actually gonna put this one,
I'm sorry, Ben & Jerry's, because I do love you, but,
it's a meh for me.
- I think this is a nah for me.
I love Ben & Jerry's, but I'm sorry, I have to do this.
(Ev and Wheezy gasp)
- Oh, my god! - Oh, my god!
- It's the Netflix one!
- Netflix and Chill'd! - Oh, my god!
I'm so ready for this!
- They have a vegan Netflix?! My troubles are over.
- We are very hyped about this one!
- I'm both excited and frightened
by the prospect of eating a vegan version
of my favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream,
because this could go horribly wrong.
But if this is good, I'm set for life.
(Ev and Wheezy munching)
(Ev and Wheezy hum)
- Heaven!
(Sybil hums)
(Wheezy and Ev hum in agreement)
- So the Netflix and Chill'd is peanut butter ice cream,
sweet and salty pretzel pieces, and fudge brownie chunks.
And this literally tastes just as good as the original.
- Melt. In. Your mouth.
Which now that I say that out loud sounds ridiculous
when you're eating ice cream.
- I love the like salty and sweet combo.
- Super god! - 100%!
- Super god!
(Ev laughs)
- The sugar's kicked in!
(Ev and Wheezy laugh)
- [Sybil] So the next one we have is
Halo Top oat milk with triple chocolate cake.
(Ev cheers)
- I'm so excited about this one!
- Oh! Chocolate!
- So, Halo Top are like these ice creams,
they come in tubs like this big.
- Okay.
- And each one is like less than 200, or like maybe...
- [Ev] Less than 400 calories.
- 400! - Oh!
- [Ev] So I have like one a day, like they're amazing.
- Literally!
The greatest thing about them is
that you can finish off a whole tub
and it's like not that big of a deal.
- And this looks like a really rich chocolate.
- Yeah it looks thick!
(Wheezy hums)
- Oh, my god! This is good!
- It totally tastes like a brownie.
- Maybe not a cake, but definitely mousse-y.
- I was about to say cake!
It tastes like a birthday cake!
- It tastes like birthday cake.
- It tastes just like a cake.
- It's too chocolate-y for me.
- I was literally gonna say, the reason I'm not thrilled is
because it's very choc,
like it literally tastes a brownie.
- You know when someone's like,
oh that's just too decadent of a chocolate dessert for me.
I'm like, give it to me!
(Wheezy laughs)
- So, if you love chocolate, and you love oat milk,
you're gonna love this ice cream.
And you know what, it's god for me.
- This for me I think is a god.
- I will put this in meh
because I don't like chocolate that much.
And it's too chocolate-y.
- Let's do a battle of the chocolate haters, Zeta and Sybil.
- I'm gonna put it in super god.
(Wheezy gasps)
- Super god? - Yeah.
- [Wheezy] Oh!
- [Ev] We have a white vanilla.
- [Wheezy] Oh, my god, this looks so beautiful!
- And you can see the vanilla spots in this,
which is making me very excited.
- Oh, I smell, I mean vanilla, right?
(Ev laughs) I smell vanilla!
- Look at how easily this just...
- [Sybil] Oh! Oh!
- Very coconut-y.
- Very coconut-y, straight off the bat.
- In fact, I can't even taste the vanilla that much.
- I love this so much.
- So when I saw this, I was like,
ooh, this looks like the fake snow
on like a movie set or something.
And in a way, it tastes like the fake snow on a movie set!
- This is coconut.
(Sybil gasps) - Yes.
- This is coconut, and I'm obsessed with it.
- I do not like it.
(Sybil laughs)
- I feel like they should rebrand it, coconut vanilla?
- Yeah.
- I know I requested not to be paired with Zeta anymore
because of her food opinions, (Sybil laughs)
but I'd like to bring Zeta back.
What do you mean you don't like it?
- Snowy ice cream.
- It's Snow-kay. (Ev gags)
- It is! (Wheezy laughs)
- It's really inoffensive to the palate. It's creamy.
I'm obsessed with this.
Super god!
- It's okay for me.
- Ev said it all, it's snow-kay.
- It's snow-kay. Oh my god, we're so cheesy!
(Wheezy laughs)
- But for me it's somewhere like, OK.
- Oh my god, are you joking?
- [Ev] Oh!
- [Wheezy] Oh! This one looks good!
- [Ev] Already happy with another chocolate!
- It's the Pana organic double chocolate.
- I hope this one's coconut milk again.
- And if it's that double or triple chocolate,
you know you're winning in life.
- You know you're on to something good.
(Sybil and Hameda munch)
Oh, the chocolate chips are interesting!
I was expecting something with heft!
And this has... no heft.
- It's so bitter!
- It's literally not bitter at all!
- It's bitter!
- It tastes like really good quality like cocoa.
It's super creamy. I'm obsessed with this.
(Sybil hums) - I am not!
- I know I like it if I'm going back
for like seconds or thirds.
If I stop after the first bite, I'm like...
(Ev hums)
- Yeah, it tells you what you need to know.
- It tastes like dark chocolate.
Doesn't? It tastes like dark chocolate!
- I think I'm gonna put this one in a god, but a low god.
And I'm gonna assume... - I agree!
No, I, it's a low god for me.
So just, give, chuck it in god.
- Super god.
- This is meh!
- [Hameda] So this the Woolworth's kind of like,
their own brand,
it's called Plantitude. (Sybil hums in agreement)
This is the cookies and cream flavor.
- Now cookies and cream, I have high expectations!
(Sybil and Hameda chew) (Sybil hums)
I like this one! - Me, too.
- You already know. (Hameda laughs)
I didn't even have to say it.
- It's not super coconut-y, is it?
Oh, no, it is.
(Sybil and Hameda laugh)
I just tasted it.
- I was just gonna say, wait for it.
It's the aftertaste.
That's why I paused a bit at the beginning.
- Again, I'm really tasting the coconut base in this.
The cookie pieces are really good.
- The cookie pieces are what's saving this
ice cream so much. - Yeah. Definitely.
- It's not as structurally sound, you know?
- But I don't care, it's delicious.
- [Ev] Do you like it when ice cream goes a bit melty?
'Cause I'm quite a fan of that, like I just drink it up.
- I do not like soupy ice cream. (Hameda laughs)
- [Ev] Hameda just looked at me
like I was some sort of alien.
- Big fan!
- It's lived up to the cookies and cream expectation.
Super god!
- You already know what I'm gonna give this.
This is super god.
- It actually gets a OK.
- I don't wanna finish on a low,
but this is just another god for me.
- Just another god.
- Just another god I worship at many altars.
- [Sybil] Do you want to guess what the best ice cream was?
- I think I know.
- I feel like it's gonna be the Netflix and Chill'd.
- I think it's that one.
- [Sybil] It's the Netflix and Chill'd!
(Wheezy and Ev cheer)
- Oh, my god, okay! That makes perfect sense.
(Sybil hums in agreement) It's so good!
