British people try American drinks: "It's too sweet!!"
Americans try British tea: "Tastes like water ..."
americans are too accustomed to sweetness
edit: it seems like i've started a war in the replies
@@slugintub You spelled flavor wrong
@@slugintub While that's somewhat true, British people are known for a lot of their bland food offerings. It's something they even make fun of themselves.
@@dbsagacious I'll stick to a 'lack of flavour' if it means I avoid diabetes
@@stephen129 sugar doesn’t give you diabetes. Sugar makes it worse if you have it already lol.
“That sounds like an addiction.”
Somewhere, coffee heaves a sigh of relief that they haven’t been called out yet.
Funny thing, coffee... you suddenly cut it off, and you'll soon exhibit withdrawal symptoms..... like it's a controlled substance.
This made me laugh, thanks.
@@0daadaadaa0 I get terrible migraines if I don't have any after drinking it regularly
I just have 1 a day....but I move more quickly all day if I've had that one.
My thoughts exactly. I've had co-workers who would regularly down 8+ cups per 8 hour working day.
The look on that kids face when Josh said he could easily eat three back to back.....& found out he meant .....literally just three biscuits! 😂😂😂
I know, to be honest it was a pathetic statement, as a fully grown Englishman in pretty good physical condition I could scoff a whole pack easy. 3 biscuits isnt even worth mentioning haha
To use the Oreos comparison they used...
I could eat maybe 10 Oreos at a time if I wanted to (but I wouldn't actually do that), and I would keep coming back to the pack throughout the day if it was left sitting out.
If I buy one of those sleeves that have like 8 Oreos in them, I'll go ahead and eat all of them right then and there, though.
Easy explination....Cowboys Fan
Exactly, like “really? That’s not a lot” i was done😂
Americans. We open the bag & eat the whole thing. 😂 True that!!!
I've watched a few of these videos, both the American kids and the English kids and I have to say, the kids you've selected are a real credit to their countries. Polite, funny and they appear to be nice kids. Loving them, keep it up. Tea with chocolate hobnobs for me. Can't be beaten.
We actually have bourbon biscuits in indonesia. I don't buy it that often since we only have tea in the morning (mum made it a "ritual"), but can't go wrong with bourbon biscuits, really
Yeah they made it seem delicious I want to try it.
I’ll take the chocolate hobnobs but I’ll leave the tea.
You thought the American kids were polite???? Half of them were rude as could be.
Take a few American students to the UK, now that would be a great video.
That would be perfect.
Show them our petrol stations lol
@@FantaStrawberry116 we would be disappointed
@claw374 if they're anywhere near Texas, they've seen Buccee's
I think taking Brits to the US would be better
Tea actually does turn your teeth yellow. He's not making that up based off of sterotypes. It's very similar to drinking coffee because it basically dyes your teeth over time.
Just said the same thing
Yeah, my dentist gets onto me about making sure I brush up good after coffee and tea so as not to stain my teeth.
I heard that that was a myth. What actually stains your teeth is from the sugar put in the tea.
@@Nushka23 not sure regards coffee but it's that tannin in tea that causes it but you would need to be drinking it constantly and not brushing your teeth
@@mightymidas2021 yeah apparently that is the myth re/tannin & actually it’s the added sugar.
I'm an American, and growing up, my best friend was originally from England. We spent a lot of time at one another's homes, and I absolutely love English tea. Her mom would bring us a cup of tea in the morning, and it was just the best! I also love beans on toast, spaghetti on toast, and roast beef with Yorkshire pudding because of having them at her home. Yum!
My brother
I like you. You're alright.
A roast dinner is a staple. Hearing we have bad food is insane.
No, your british, but don't know it
Ur sick
One thing I've noticed that the American high school students do in their taste videos is they seem to really try and finish the whole snack they're offered unless they really really dislike it 😭and they're really quick to share their half with others like at 7:57 how cute! I wonder what that says about us as a culture
We are taught that it's polite to finish any food you are given, whether you like it or not. It's considered very insulting not to finish something.
From a baby I was taught to finish your plate. Than when I was a kid if we did not want to finish our plate we were told "there are staving kids in Africa" finish it. But also taught to share any food you had with others.
@@MrJking065 same!
@@Nightsong001the British high schoolers literally spit the food out, cmon now 😂😂
@@Nightsong001exactly
It’s nice to be watching American Highschoolers react. It’s brutally honest
It's funny though because as an American, watching the British school boys do their initial videos over the year in the school, it feels like English students are also brutally honest but just in a different way. If that makes any sense.
@@ReidGameX so I'm an immigrant. Moved from Southeast Asia when I was a teenager. We were always told to be nice, to say things in a nicer way. Be honest, but deliver it in a nice way. Then I come to America and you get brutal honesty. I loooooved it. There's no miscommunication and friendships are formed with brutal honesty. But I definitely know how to "sweeten" my honesty on certain people and just being forthright on others.
@@akirebara I think it also depends regionally where you live. I live in new england and most people don't care what you do and will leave you alone even if they don't like what you do or agree with it. In the midwest they call it "minnesota nice" where they'll smile to your face and talk about you behind your back.
@@ReidGameX I moved straight to Chicago. Maybe it's because we're in a big city there is that "let's just be honest to each other" kind of treatment. At least that's what i love with the friends ive made over the years here.
@@akirebara you tend to get that sort of mindset in most northern big cities east of the Mississippi mainly due to everyone is pissed off at the cold for half the year they just don't care hahaha
I hope there' part two. These students are brutally honest but they don't come off as rude or anything. I'm really liking their vibes. I would like to see them try the meat pies and other English food.
It's the same with the other teens. They somehow find students who are interested in other food and try it with an open mind so whether they like it or not says more about the individual's taste than an opinion on that country's food. But I guess it makes sense since both Josh and Ollie are of similar minds. They're just out here to taste great food, not insult entire nations
This IS the second part. They released one with traditional English cuisine first (and included marimite. They did the teens dirty there....)
I recall these kids being on here before. I think this is the part two
Yeah, like their chill vibes and the British students are honest as well but easy going and full of expressions. Like the students they choose to taste these food and experimenting new things.
@@fajenthygia5760 On US soil too, this could lead to war.
I lived in the UK for 8 1/2 years. I love the chocolate digestives. I am retired military. I get them on the base every few months. That and some tetley english tea, with a bit of milk.
I'm from the Seychelles Islands and since we gained independence from the British, we also love tea like it's an addiction. It's imbedded in our culture to have tea and biscuits, and we never miss it at 3pm. I love this video.
Kenya too
You kept the British bits you liked 🇬🇧
Oh man when he drank the rest of the tea to wash out the taste of the Jaffa cake and he forced his pinky finger up it made me cry laugh 😂🤣😂
Best part of the video 😂
also his disappointment on Josh for eating only 3 biscuits LOL
@@robmarth2226 and the fact that Josh acted like 3 biscuits was an accomplishment 🤣
@@robmarth2226 Americans eat too much.
As an American I too was confused when Josh said he could go through 3 easily. I too thought he meant three packages. Kids speaks facts. You open a package, you eat (with friends/family) the whole thing in one sitting.
yeah let me open a bag of Chewy Chips-A-Hoy… they gone! 😂
woah i'm from uk and one pack of biscuits would last a few days!
Maybe it's because most Americans don't really eat cookies everyday, so when we do, we go hard.😂
Also the Girl Scouts have been training us for years to eat all in one sitting lol
@@savannah115 MANN, GIRL SCOUTS COOKIES ARE GOOD. Eat them in one sitting for sure. lol. Oreos on the other hand, don't think I can go through it all in one go.
no here we eat one pack by ourselves
Love the American high schoolers series! Just awesome to see cultures being exchanged is awesome!
That poor girl. Her humility captured for eternity on you tube. Took it like a champ. Just like toast a biscuit will land topping side down lol.
Regardless of the British stereotype, tea actually does stain your teeth just like coffee does. That kid was right.
His teeth weren’t exactly white though
@@jaw2112 Lots of things can stain your teeth 🤷🏻♀️ I’m just saying he was right cause the other guy said it was just a stereotype.
@@cecilialoza8552 I agree
Fr
To be fair, stereotypes don't have to be wrong, just generally accepted as fact at face value
These kids are hilarious. Glad they were so honest and open, bless.
The young man in the Cowboys stuff when he purposely put his pinky up at the end 🤣🤣🤣
They were excellent representatives of America, too. Pretty much spot on representations of the various ways most Americans who have tried tea and biscuits tend to feel about them.
🤣 actually when you visit the dentist here in the U.S. as a kid you're taught coffee, tea and soda causes yellow teeth! Not a stereotype but factually proven😉
@@mick6721 have you ever been to the dentist!? From a child you're told what's good and what's bad for your teeth, it doesn't matter how much you clean your teeth,if consume large amounts of coffee soda (fizzy drinks)and especially tea like for example the British with their tea time, you're going to have oral health issues.
@@DaJuan681😂 bollocks re tea
The US has way more teeth whitening options though, in the UK most of that stuff is over the counter (ex. Crest White)
@@NANA-su5ql I don't even know what that means! It's not like the UK is a poor country🤣 or did you just want to matter on the subject🙄
@@DaJuan681 What? No I'm just saying that a lot of what Americans have to make their teeth not yellow while still drinking caffinated drinks isn't as easily accessible and requires a prescription to access.
5:33 the edit, the timing, the delivery so perfect 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jaffa Cakes were officially declared cakes and not biscuits because the company demonstrated so IN COURT by the fact that when cakes go stale they go hard, whereas biscuits lose their crunch factor and go soft
@@bridiesmith5110 if your gonna make a point at least type it in a way that makes sense ...luckily i know what your talking about
Idk what cookies you've been eating, but stale cookies can break your teeth.
@@pwizandtheween3652 "Unlike bread and cakes, which tend to become hard the longer they spend in the air, most biscuits go soft over time. As in bread, starch from the flour in biscuits begins to crystalize after a few days, theoretically making biscuits more brittle." so the only question is one for yourself
@@DeterminedFC I guess I've only been eating some messed up cookies then. I love a soft cookie, but stale ones always have too much crunch.
It’s not that deep.
Digestive sounds like a stomach medicine more than a cookie.
Eat too many at one time, you'll find out 😉
Well believe it or not that what it was ORIGINALLY for. LOL 😂.
Because of the fibre content that is not too far from the truth. In theory they will help you to be 'regular' with your bowel movements if you eat them often.
They're good. Very similar to graham crackers.
Sounds like you should be drinking Metamucil with it
As an American of Irish heritage, I don't think there's been a single day in my life without tea. Growing up in the southern US, in a hot climate, I drink lots of iced tea, in addition to hot, but detest "sweet tea." 😂 I guess it's down to what we get accustomed to growing up. It's strange to hear these kids say that tea tastes like water, though I do know that I brew mine quite strong. The chocolate digestive biscuits look so good!
“an american of irish heritage” 😂😂 americans gotta make themselves feel special somehow i guess
@@e7193America is the land of immigrants. There, I gave you the American attention you were looking for coming on here, you’re welcome.
@e7193 haha I'm thinking heritage means like ginger hair and an Irish surname
I'm American & don't have close European relatives, but I love drinking milk with black tea or chai (no sugar needed unless I'm wanting honey), & sometimes I dip cookies or gingerbread in them (highly recommend). I'm honestly surprised some of the kids didn't like certain combinations, especially jaffa cakes 😅. But I haven't had British prepared tea, so maybe they're not steeped long enough?
If you're Eastern American, you can get British, German, & other European snacks at Aldi, Lidl or Trader Joe's. They have those chocolate oranges too!
That risky digestive dunk made every Brit flinch!
Ik I was like take it out before it’s too late.😂😂
Wouldn't have been an issue had it been a hobnob just would have noticed half their drink missing after dunking it lmao 😂
Yeah right? I was like, “woah, woah! Watch it!” Nothing worse than that splash of hot tea and that soft mess at the end of your brew.
It reminded me of the donut dunking tutorial in "It Happened One Night ".
Omg yeah nothing worse than loosing half a digestive to your tea, and despite knowing it won’t work trying to scoop it out with the teaspoon anyway and watching it disintegrate, that sludge makes the end of the tea undrinkable
Fun fact: sticking pinky finger out when drinking tea is actually derived from table etiquette during medieval period (or maybe earlier). Back then, utensils were not common so they use both hand to eat. During meal, they would kept their pinky and ring finger clean so they will use their pinky finger to scoop up salt, sugar, or spices and add it to their meals. This etiquette usually applies at royal feast. After around the year of 1600, people (including the upper class) started to utilise eating utensils but the habit stays.
I heard that sticking the pinky finger out started at the French court in the 18th century as a way to signal having a sexually transmitted disease, like syphilis.
Fun fact I don't know anyone that does it 😂
Ah so that's why I see so many people in London with really long pinky finger nails!
Very interesting.
@@nahum3557 ha ha!
Bro I've tried making British tea EXACTLY the British way, with Earl Gray Tea, the right measurement of milk and sugar. I was so surprised that it was _so_ bland even though I've tried making it three times. I guess my Asian taste buds just aren't used to it 😭
You don’t have milk with Earl Grey.
Earl Grey is drunk black with a slice of Lemon.
If you want proper english tea you use Yorkshire Tea.
Boiling water and leave the bag for 2 mins before adding the milk.
You need to try Yorkshire tea, the best in my opinion
Earl Grey tea is meant to be drunk with no milk or sugar
@@minecraftmum3436 damn really?? Must've been watching the wrong tutorials man. What tea should I use btw?
@@youtubesresidentfbiagent8735 I'm over 50 and my grandma was very particular about how to make tea. Her favourite brand of tea was Yorkshire tea and when I moved to South Yorkshire many years ago she would make my dad take her some Yorkshire teabags back to her, otherwise she used loose tealeaves. Now Yorkshire tea can be bought anywhere in the UK. My Mum however preferred PG teabags. Earl Grey tea is a speciality tea, not the usual English tea that is drunk everyday here :)
"That sounds like.... an addiction"
In all seriousness, Yorkshire tea with sugar and milk is amazing.
These kids are all really cool and feel like a genuine slice of American youth culture.
@@joshrees3413 cause that’s what they are….
They go to my school😂😂
@@joshrees3413 lol “generic” is a little disparaging, but that’s what I’m getting at. Sometimes when channels do these kinds of videos they get young actors or wannabe TikTok stars that are over-the-top. These feel like genuine reactions and their personalities don’t feel stilted.
Quasi feral.
@@joshrees3413what do u mean bland way and who said they r ambesder., they said they represent American youth culture really good by being themselves it's amazing, u can literally feel American vibe from them (I'm not even American), the kind of image American youth have here like they stand on it (here American youth seems like bold little funny, not holding back and other American vibe
Amanda: *quite literally risks it dipping it for the biscuit*
also amanda: "see, here, when we open a packet, we eat the whole thing."
ah, makes sense why she's a bold dipper.
We here in the south, (Texas), we like our tea strong, we like it sweet and cold. Personally I like my tea strong but lightly sweetened. I like the flavor of tea but if it’s too sweet, it tastes like syrup. And I think that’s what some restaurants do. They sweeten it with corn syrup due to the volume of tea they have to serve.
But the best iced tea is sweetened with regular white sugar or brown sugar. We typically brew the tea and add the sugar while it’s hot and then put the jug in the fridge for several hours.
Josh and Ollie both have such a nice personality.
Eli and Amanda have become my favorite reactors of the bunch. Their chemistry is so chaotic 😂😂😂
Same I’ve been laughing so hard because of them, I hope to see them more
And Eli is repping the Boys!! Good kid.
… and they’re risky dippers!
You should have the British kids react to the American kids when they try these food. Vice versa, too. That would be interesting😊
Tht would be epic. I wish they read ur msg 😆
trying to start another war eh?
@@Bigtasty28 It would be quite on brand between us and make for entertaining news headlines lol
Yeah but kids have a different taste to adults I remember when I was a kid I hated jacket potato's but I love them now 😁👍🏴🇬🇧
@@dianasullivan3285
What's a jacket potato??
6:37 hahah the watch check. Someone’s over it and wants out.
dude at 5:20 is like "I dont even like these and i can finish a package"
I love watching their honest reactions. Their faces tell the story even if their words don't. Lol 😊😊
Also, Jammie Dodgers sound like kids trying to avoid putting on their pajamas. 😂😂
😂
I feel like Ollie would appreciate that joke 😉
@@LindaC616 Lol maybe!
My child dodges her jammies on the regular 🤣🤣
Hahahaaa it does. 😂❤
Out of the bathtub and running around the house "nekid" !
They weren't wanting sugar in the tea, they wanted flavor. Josh and Ollie should have steeped it longer for them.
That's always my thing! When I buy tea meant to be drank hot (like English or Irish Breakfast) and it says 'Steep for 3-4 minutes" I'm like "Bruh, that's gonna be slightly colored water" and I do NOT do milk in tea, that's just horrific to me, but that would overpower the weak 3-minute tea!" I put the teabag in there and leave it while I'm drinking it so it gets stronger as it cools down so the last few sips are REALLY tea-flavored. I'm from the south where when we make iced tea (not with much sugar since I don't like sweet stuff) you put like 7 teabags in 16 ounces of hot water, let it sit until it's cooled down (I put mine in a travel mug, so that's at least an hour or two) and then put it in a pitcher with an equal amount of cold water. Like, tea should be long-steeped and STRONG!
yeah for some reason brits don't steep their tea very long....
@@taradreams3 Even the time they could prove themselves as a delicious country, they even mess up with tea.
I mean that's the point of the video, to make them taste the british way of making tea. If they adjust it for them then it's pointless 😅
@@aldhyembas When I finally get to visit my bestie in England I sure hope when she makes me tea, it's not just hot water haha
3 cookies is so funny to me LOL Their faces were saying “we could eat 3 of these packets in one sitting“ 😂😂 in America we eat it allll
A british reactor saw this, and he was baffled at how little Josh eats.
The average Brit has 3-4 cups of tea every day. 3 biscuits with each one is about a whole pack of biscuits every day.
5:15 three biscuits are nothing😂😂
I wish I had a friend in high school like Amanda the Risky Dipper. They all seem like so much fun. The American students honesty is brutal and I'm living for it! While the British students are trying to remain polite with a "that's interesting", Americans will all out tell you "that tastes like nothing". Cracking up here! The British stereotypes with the tea pinky was hilarious
Tbh I think that’s more of a cultural thing then trying to be nice. They down play a lot of stuff from the things I picked up.
Yet Americans in the comment section were all hating on the one person speaking his mind in the British kids video, calling him stuck-up and pretentious 😛
I kinda have to do the pinky, because the handle is too small for me.
@@ericforsythwhat does that have to do with a completely different person’s opinion
@@ericforsythBc that guy went in hating everything from the get go and being negative. He wasn’t fun or funny to watch. These kids aren’t that. They aren’t going in hating everything from the beginning or talking about their allegiance to their “home country, Italy.” They are being honest, but not condescending. They react with a smile or laughing. It’s more banter than anything. The British kid was just smug “😐” and condescending. It wasn’t entertaining to watch him. A whole video of just him reacting would have been boring and wouldn’t have garnered any views. There’s a reason why many people reacted negatively towards him and ONLY him. It isn’t because he was fun to watch.
It taste like water? Josh, Ollie, we gotta talk about how you brew tea fellas
I was thinking that. I've never had British tea, but this video makes me think it's super weak. Is it not, normally?
@@joshp8535 as a Brit myself i can say whenever I make tea it's never been weak? Let ot brew fir about 4 minutes, and add a splash of milk and you're golden
@@Broski____ Only 4 minutes? That seems a bit weak. Though maybe it's the difference in how we make it. We would use a tea bag and allow it to steep in the hot water for awhile. I don't usually time it, but I would guess 5 or 6 minutes, and never add milk.
Only coffee with a teaspoon of unflavored and unsweetened creamer. No added sugar.
@@jonok42 I'd say typically for tea bag, getting quite specific 100°c water for 4 minutes, if it's leaves and no bag I let it go longer, but thus can also depend on how strong the leaves are too, I've never found the tea I use to be weak after 4 minutes
Hard to believe an Earl Grey or English Breakfast would make them think "water." Josh and Ollie ya gotta let it steep!
These kids are hysterically funny. Definitely love their opinions on stuff and dipping in the tea. They need to learn more about teas.
You can tell the opinion difference between countries. Americans are sometimes more direct and harsh.
Aussie here, love having a biscuit with tea. Love the show, you guys are awesome! ❤
It’s so funny how the uk students were like “iced tea is so good!” And then the American students are like “tea just taste like water...” 😂 I love the contrast
That'll happen if someone has a diet rammed with salt and sugar. It causes desensitisation of the taste buds.
They probably didn't steep the tea due to time constraints, thus the kids got very week brews
@@terranaxiomukNo it just wasn’t steeped as long as an iced, or sweet tea is.
Hot tea and iced tea are two very different drinks.
I absolutely love Amanda's attitude. Dives in with gusto and tells you exactly what she thinks. That young woman is going to go far in her life. :)
I loved tea time when I was a student in England...so good! I just can't recreate that English experience! But I had to make a cuppa while I watched this. I loved these taste tests
I'm an American and studied abroad in the London, and while your dessert and dairy is absolutely way better than ours, generally your food is just SO BLAND, including the tea and coffee. The only thing I missed about the states while I was away was the food.
Tea is bland but also a canvas you can put whatever flavours you want. Typically I put ginger in my tea. I think everyone has their own flavours they put in their tea.
that’s a matter of opinion. I’m American and have lived in Europe for 4 years. I don’t find British food to be lacking in flavor.
American food contains so much added sugar, salt andfat for our palate
@@lindastaines8288 i mean you're not wrong but we also use spices...
I spent a few months in the US and genuinely felt sick after two weeks. It's so hard to find simple healthy food that isn't overloaded with additives or seed oil.
I remember going to buy a little packet of cooked chicken as I'd usually do in England, it's my go to healthy protein snack, impossible to ruin you would think? It's just chicken in a packet after all, but I read the back and it's got abput 3 different types of seed oils.
It's just mind boggling seeing Americans complain about our food, i think these comments must come from eating snacks and ready meals because the quality of food is lightyears ahead of whats available in the US
“You have the LA Dodgers, we have Jammy Dodgers.”
Haha I love this line! Well done 👏🏽
LA Dodgers were the Brooklyn Dodgers and before that the Trolley Dodgers, because Brooklyn had so many streetcars. One of the few sports teams named after public transportation.

So Happy to see Jaffa Cakes, I love those things. After watching the Yogscast for years and hear them talk about them so much, I was overjoyed when I finally found some to try and they were super pleasant, no tea needed to enjoy those! I want to learn how to make them.
hope some day we can see American and British kids on the same episode.
No way! As an American, I'm sure our kids would be SO rude to the British!
@@mt.shasta6097 Hey-ho, as an American student myself, I doubt that'd be true. Most Americans partake in banter, but only with friends.
With the British, while there are some preconceived notions, I don't think... at least in this array of students... that there would be any problems with "bullying" as you say. Kinda rare to find them, at least in my experience. America is super diverse. I doubt they'd say something offensive or mean. 🤷♀️

Im Scottish and I definitely agree tea is good for any time of day
Went to UK last year. Parents (who lived there for a few years in late 80s/early 90s) bought chocolate hobnobs and told me “try these”.
I LOVED them.
The one girl who went for the biscuit dunk so confidently... and succeeded every time.
Me: She knows the way. I'm so proud. 💖👏
Then the soggy chocolate digestive falling on the white top. 'Noooo! Very relatable.' 😂
@@TheBeanMan77 of course lmfao.
Biscuits, cookies and other food items can be dipped in ANY liquids.
To me, they seemed less familiar with hot milky tea and British biscuits... hence my comment.
Hence the decision Jolly made to create this episode. 😂
Really love their relaxed and honest opinions the students got going on. Josh and Ollie really have some amazing students when they do these videos.
😂😂😂 we need more videos with those students 👏👏
You wait til they learn drinking up tea through a penguin biscuit with the corners bitten off.
As a Scottish lady watching this at 10pm local, I can confirm I'm currently drinking my 6th cup of tea of the day 😂 Ollie is not exaggerating!
I have always been curious about tea time. Is it the same thing as lunch time?
@YouRemindMeOfTheBabe. your name and avatar are amazing 😍
As for tea time, a lot of people use that to mean the last meal of the day (5pm ish, "come inside, it's tea time"). However, time for tea can be an offer of a cup of tea at any time of the day or night! ☕️ ☕️
after watching british highschool and american highschool series, i've realized just how different their sense of humor and demeanor are...
American kids are very honest and have fun. British kids act like they’re taking a tough math test.

Yes, that's why I gave up snack food.
That sort of carb-based snack food, ie: all snack food other than jerky and nuts, is so addictive!
I never got how someone can eat like one cookie and then put the pack away.
For health reasons, I just don't buy it any more. It's just better for me to eat real food at meals rather than snacking on crap.
@@rottierumbles9451 Buddy, if you think it really matters you clearly have no concept!
I can easily eat a whole pizza by myself.
That's why, as I've gotten older, I've just given up junkfood.
I can't control myself around it, so it's better for my health to just not tempt myself by buying it.
I could di tht as a kid but now lm older l only can have 6 oreos before puking
@@spirituallyyoujustbeenx185 the older I get, i get the same issues. Doesn’t stop me but I definitely regret it the next day when my jog becomes a walk
I’m not from the States nor England, but I notice the difference between these American teens that are savage and straightforward like a punch, while the English high schoolers were more subtle😂❤, I like the difference tho!
Excuse my English 😞🫰🏻💖
I wonder if the cake gets a bit dry.
Tho = Though
Your English is beautiful!
@@narendra62 I think he/she knows that. The fact that he/she can use the slang version of the word demonstrates an advanced understanding of the English language.
Your English in this comment is almost perfect! Bravo!
Lol the pause whilst they all take a moment to appreciate the stunning combination of hot tea and biscuit 😊
I'm from Singapore and I love tea with rich tea biscuits too. Marks n Spencer has got good tea & biscuits. I don't add fresh milk into my tea instead, I add evaporated & condensed milk!
Yassss fellow singaporean!!
Omg I'm also Singaporean and there are 3 packs of M&S rich tea biscuits in my kitchen right now. They don't sell them in supermarkets anymore, or if they do they label them as marie biscuits.
RE: milk in tea; Yar, cos the English don't brew their tea strongly, so it tastes like water. Our (Malaysian/Singaporean) tea is brewed darker so it's more palatable with fresh milk. Bland. Taste. Buds.
@@averiltiong My mother was born in Singapore to Australian parents so I’ve learned a lot about the country from her.
@@iskisenna haha you're so right! I use the Yorkshire brand Extra Strong Tea but i still have to put two to three bags because i need it super thick or it tastes like longkang water 😝😝
"is there flavor in this" just absolutely sent me haha
Yeah, US Americans prefer bold flavors.
You can get Rich Teas with chocolate on, they're probably my favourite. The french ones that are rectangle (I think they're french, they could be swiss. they come in a blue, rectangle box. Most supermarkets in the UK have them. Aldi have a knock off version as well) and the chocolate comes out further than the biscuit, loads of chocolate on them. check them out, they're amazing.
Cadbury's also did a chocolate rich tea, can probs still get those. hey did chocolate shortbreads as well. The rich tea were the best though. I'm suspired mcvities never made a chocolate rich tea.
The most famous French ones that you are talking about would be 'Petit Ecolier' by Lu. There are others but those are the classical ones.
The word Biscuit is French too coming from Bis and Cuit meaning 'twice cooked' which is why they should be hard.
Originally 'cookies' were softer and crumbly but used for all of them these days.
That girl dipping her biscuit for too long gave me anxiety.
The boy with the long hair & flower hoodie? and dry sense of humor. HILARIOUS kid. Love him
Every British person watching this got a sweat on when she dunked that digestive in the tea too long 😂
Americans are like, deal with it.
Yeah
And her Mum wasn’t there to bring her a spoon!
Nothing more disturbing when taking that last swig of your tea, and feeling the warm kiss of the biscuit blob on your lips. All because you flew too close to the sun.
I always double them up, sandwich the chocolate in the middle (makes them stronger).
So hilarious thanks for posting
As a Nigerian, I grew up on all these biscuits...😂 Except the last two
I love these episodes.. first we got English highschool students trying American food/snacks & now American students trying British food/snacks… so cool 😎
In the future, hopefully you guys can do the same with Korean highschool students & Australian highschool students would love to see 🤩
That's what I was thinking too
interesting fact coffee was taken to Amerca by the Brits in the mid-17th century before that tea was the main hot drink in the American colonies and the word "cookie" is a derived from Dutch koekje meaning little cake
The tea really matters. If it wasn't Yorkshire tea then it wasn't tea. I can really imagine this tasting revolting!
I graduated hs in '02, but put me on one of these. I wanna eat some British food, and tea is amazing.
Milk tea (think chai lattes, classic Hong Kong boba tea) is the best when you use strong flavorful black tea ❤
u mean taiwan boba tea?
@@jen5138 hong kong milk tea is the traditional strong milk tea that is popular in the us now
Because the milk calms some of the astringent tannins in black tea allowing other flavours to compete. Green or fruit tea doesn't need milk
Lotus biscoff, Jaffa cakes, mcvities digestives and penguin bars are my fav. This is one of the few that taste good. I came from Ukraine and I miss our tasty cookies
Lotus Biscoff is awesome. They are Belgian.
Short bread is great too. Glad you are out of the war.
PENGUINS YES
Bite the corners of penguin biscuits, and use it as a straw for your Tea
I kid you not it's so nice!
I can’t find lotus biscoff 😢 because I haven’t tried that but I heard it’s amazing 🥺
2:41 Ollie naming the different times and Josh nodding in full agreement is too funny 😭🤣
Nothing beats a good strong cup of tea with a drop of cream.
I'm really loving this "American highschoolers" series - well done!
Josh and Ollie's panic at that long dip lol. Experience has made them wise
These two Brits are great love their stuff!
Amanda seems like such a cool person. Comes across like she would make a phenomenal actor or entertainer of some sort. Really genuine happy funny character.
i love how Ollie sounds extra-british when he’s in the US hahaha
He doesn't want to lose his childhood by... being in another country that isn't Korea?
‘American high schoolers try British scones’ is all I’m waiting for in my life now
They’re probably gonna be disappointed in terms of our choices of biscuits
Not just scones but sausage rolls & fish & chips probably some black pudding 🤣
@@thatgirl9532 Americans love Fish and Chips, so that won't work.
I’m so thankful that the Jolly Channel exists, no matter which video i click into, it never fails to cheer me up ❤ sorry that the comment is irrelevant 😂
I blushed a little when he said risky dipper!!!!
I went to England years (and years) ago. Was staying at the house of a "penfriend" of mine from high school. On the plane they served tea and its the first time I ever had it with milk. I liked it! At my friend's house in SE London her mother brought out tea and biscuits about 8PM and we had them while watching TV. The next morning there was more tea. Everywhere I went was tea! Of course it was really nice because it was in December and it kept me warm. Oh, to this day I still have milk and sugar with my hot tea. Always use Yorkshire or PG Tips. Complete British tea convert.😄
3:05 - 17 can be summed up in the meme where the British response to ANY situation is "I'll put the kettle on"
You two guys need to come to New England, and visit a sugar house & try sugar on snow plus all the other Maple Syrup treats. If you pick a really good sugar house you'll also get to see the process of collecting and making of Maple Syrup!
The 'pinkie thing' is a hark back to the days when tea shops were a common meeting place for ladies of negotiable affection. The cocked pinkie has been a universal signal worldwide for hundreds of years (quite possibly thousands) signalling the profession. It's still in use today. 🤣
"That sounds like an addiction."
That took me back to the time when I was drinking 8-10 cuppas a day and the next time I went to the dentist they told me my teeth were staining and that I need to start drinking water after having a cuppa to limit the staining...Here I am now, only drinking about 3 cuppas a day. Damn
It's great that you are doing these videos with American high schoolers! this group of young sweet students are the best!! thank you Ollie and Josh, you're really something refreshing within the youtube world! kudos to you and your team!
Loved seeing the DHS students trying new things.
Sounds like an addiction...😂...I love the honesty, lol
Your vids are so entertaining! The teens' honesty and facial expressions are priceless!
