- Why crisp?
- I don't know, why chip?
- Chip.
- Crisp, it's crispy. - Chip.
(dramatic music)
- Hi, I'm Chloe and I am from Great Britain.
- Hi, I'm Joyce, and I am from America.
- I'm Ifelola, I'm from Cambridge, England.
- I am Emily, and I'm American.
- Have you ever had British snacks before?
- No, but I have watched a lot of British television.
- Oh, that's the same thing.
- And I've always wanted to go to the pub at 16.
- Oh, yeah.
- And that was my biggest dream in life.
- I think what I miss most about English snacks
is just that they don't really make sense to other people
who are outside of that culture.
- I am so excited to show you because they are so good.
Oh my god, I'm so excited, yes!
So these are Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps,
not chips, crisps. - Okay.
- We have a classic here,
these are salt and vinegar potato chips.
They got tang, they make you sweat sometimes.
- They make you sweat?
- Yeah, 'cause of the vinegar.
These are really good with a sandwich,
a hoagie or something.
- Let's switch. - All right, let's do it.
Oh, I don't want to, it's mine.
- I mean you can take some of my bag.
- What, okay great.
Walkers, I guess, it looks like Lay's.
Is it just like a different? - They're very similar.
- So they're the same company,
but they're just different names in different countries.
- They just have a really good kick.
But you can't eat too many of them.
- It's really strong right,
kinda zaps your taste buds a little bit.
- This is delicious, 'cause salt and vinegar
is too tart for me, but this is perfect.
- So these definitely don't taste like
what I know shrimp cocktail tastes like,
which I think is good.
But this tastes a little bit like ketchup,
it's like a ketchup chip.
- Can I have one, I really want one.
- Please, this is absolutely delicious.
- I really love these!
- And we tried some crazy stuff together, kids.
- What do you think, if you had to choose one?
- I'm bias, I still prefer those.
- I think I prefer these, too.
- All right, next snacks.
- These are my all-time favorite snack ever.
I freakin' love these.
Whenever my mom comes to stay,
I have to make her bring big bags of them.
- Cheez-its are incredible, these are truly
the most addicting snack.
- If you eat one Cheez-it and you're done, you scare me.
- I like to eat them like a little bunny,
just little bites. (Ifelola laughs)
Here you are. - There you go.
- This is dense, this is a heavy little bag.
Smells kind of like bunny food, though.
- So it's prefect for you. (both laughing)
- It smell like Easy Cheese, canned cheese.
- Don't say that, they're better than that.
- I'm not happy with this box of Cheez-its.
- I do like them, I don't think as much as that,
but they are pretty comparable.
These are more salty, they have more of a tang.
Where as they aren't as salty,
but they have a strong cheese taste.
- So this is how I eat them like a bunny,
I can't be the only one who does this, but you.
(crackers crunching)
- [Woman] Does it change the experience for you?
- You really get more of a cheese flavor.
- There's more of it, right?
- I 100% prefer the Mini Cheddars, I can't leave them alone,
and they're only a pound.
- I like the Cheez-its way better than the Jacob's crackers.
- Sorry, Jacob's.
- Aero is a classic English chocolate,
everyone knows what Aero is.
- So Aeros are little bubbles in chocolate.
And you take a bite, and you'll feel the bubbles
inside of your mouth. - Ooh.
- They also do a mint version which is amazing,
mint chocolate, and it's better than this one actually.
Oh my god, oh my god!
If you ask, you shall receive.
(Joyce laughs)
- Fun fact, I'm from about an hour away
from Hershey, Pennsylvania.
- Oh wait, Hershey's is a real place? (laughs)
- Hershey, you didn't know this?
- No.
- So I switch, I think this one.
- Yeah, have all the beautiful chocolate.
I'll have this one bar.
- I have to say, I'm just very jealous right now.
(both laughing)
I just wanna eat the Aero.
- If I had a s'more right now, I'd be really happy,
'cause I like Hershey's in a s'more.
- Love it in a s'more.
- I do prefer this way more than Hershey's.
There's a hard-chocolate shell,
but a soon as you make contact with it,
it goes in your mouth.
- How do you feel about the texture?
- It's weird, but I'm into it.
- So I have a whole speech about American chocolate.
- Let's hear it, hum it out.
- It just doesn't take real,
Aero's, it's light and fluffy and airy,
and it's just a dream to eat.
- I think the flavor's way more creamier.
It's absolutely delicious.
- Aero, for sure. - I'm gonna go
for Aero, for sure.
- Yeah, we like Aero a lot better.
- Aero. - Aero.
- Yeah, Capri Sun, yeah Ribena, oh god.
- What is this?
- This is great?
- Is this just like Australians
and their detergent-cleaner-juice thing?
What is with this packaging Australia?
If I saw this I'd wash my dishes with this.
- So it's cordial, okay. - It's cordial.
- Ribena is black currant, which I don't know
that you have black currant here.
- I've never heard of that before in my life.
It's like a blackberry, blueberry, is what it looks like.
- There's no way of describing this other than
it tastes purple.
- There are a few things in America worth fighting for,
and the one thing's for sure is that Capri Sun
is the greatest kid's drink in the whole entire world.
- I'm intrigued by the water.
- Okay, so it's a concentrate,
so you have to put it in water.
- Shake it. - Shake it.
- I'll shake this too, I don't know if it's supposed--
- Oh ho!
- Is that the color that you usually go for,
like a light pink? - Yeah, this is the,
this might even be too sweet for me personally,
but some people like to drink it
as though it's just the syrup.
And I think that's awful.
- Here's you're Ribena. - Thank you.
It smells like grape juice. (scoffs)
- We don't normally have grape juice. (laughs)
- No, you idiot, it's Ribena.
- Num, num, num, num.
- You know, it's refreshing.
- Mm, this is tasty. - Right?
- Mm-hmm. - This is very light.
- You can put more concentrate in there.
- I think I might, just so I can see
what black currant actually kind of tastes like.
- It's interesting how people make home drinks,
in American we're so used to powders.
And then I feel like everywhere in Europe it's all liquid.
- When I first came to American
and saw the Kool-Aid thing, I was like what!
- Yeah. - A powder in water?
- Do you ever mix that
and make a cocktail out of this (speaking faintly).
- I haven't, I feel like people probably would.
- I actually like both of them,
it's really hard to choose 'cause I really do love these.
- It's like wine for kids.
- Yeah, oh my god it is.
- For me, Ribena wins.
- I think so, too.
I have my childhood memories with Capri Sun,
but this just tastes better.
- But this is fun. - Yeah, right.
- Yeah.
- I learned that England has a lot
of cool, fun words for things.
Still don't know what a black currant is,
(Ifelola laughs)
but I know now that it exists.
And this was just lovely, it was delightful.
- It was delightful, yeah.
- There's this stereotype of English food being bland.
Where I feel like our snacks are not bland at all.
- Not at all, most of the snack swaps I've done before,
the taste isn't as intense as America's.
And I think Britain's one of the first one
where it's like pow ho.
- I would say that this has been a great experience
in terms of remembering the things I love about England.
It's not persuaded me that American snacks
are better than English snacks, I'm afraid.
Some people do things better than others,
and that's the English way, I guess. (laughs)
- Spoken like a true British person.
