Yeah we have a shop near me that is an import only shop, it has so much american candys and drinks. Compare the sugar content to UK drinks it's crazy. But it's suppose to be a treat so why not lol i got some jolly ranchers (normal version) and then the jelly beans, grap sour patch kids, dr pepper popcorn lol but the prices are insane@@jimmyking1382
We just pack them with artificial sweeteners instead :( I wish that when the sugar tax came in, the manufacturers just reduced the sugar slightly and left it at that, rather than taking out almost all of the sugar and replacing adding other sweeteners.
It probably is that drinks in America are much sweeter than the UK. Even more so since the sugar tax come in. If a drink has above a certain amount of sugar it costs more as the tax rate on it is higher.
Ohhh, I love Flying Saucers and Rainbow Drops, they’re a real sugar hit. For me they are really nostalgic because I had them when I was a kid….and that was a long time ago. Enjoy😊.
The whistle lollies are the best fun. Rainbow Drops and flying saucers are my favourite sweets. Sainsburys is a British Supermarket. What you'd call a grocery store.
@@marydavis5234 oh thanks for clearing that up. Several videos I’ve watched with sherbet sweets, Americans have reacted like they have never seen it before. One even said about some sweets with sherbet inside, that they were filled with baking soda? 😂😂. I just presumed that it wasn’t a thing over there.
Aw that whistle lolly has me 😂 reminds me so much of my childhood,... type of sweet you'd find on the ice cream van 💛 every night, around 6 the van come up the street signal all the kids with a loud nursery rhyme so we could get our treat after dinner/tea now they were the days 🤣🐻🏴
I absolutely love rainbow drops I’d shake some into my hand and then use my tongue to pick some up and then I’ll eat them and then do it again and again and again until they’re gone
Watching this brought back a childhood memory i once managed to fit 16 of the flying saucers in my mouth at once and ate them lol and the outside is sugar paper but i do agree about the styrofoam comparison 😆
Ughhhh, those whistle lollies are the best. They're just my whole childhood going up to the shop with 10p and getting them for a few pence and some 1p chocolates 😂 I loooove rainbow drops. I see what you mean about them tasting stale, that's just how the texture is. My best friend and I made a pact that if we never got married, we would marry each other and instead of confetti, it'd be rainbow drops 😂 Also, I'm with you JT. Flying saucers all my family and friends love, but to me it really is just like eating polystyrene 😫 Love you guys, you both make my day! ❤
I didn’t know they still made Rainbow Drops, not had them for like 20 years. I always found they’re best eaten loads at a time otherwise there’s not much flavour.
I don't think I've ever eaten those crisp onion rings? We have onion rings, the saverory food thing, but have never eaten as crisps? But could just be me. Rainbow drops I've had, they're just meant to taste like sugar but yes the texture is odd! Flying sauces are great! Mainly the sherbet inside though, ha! I personally love the sherbert inside! I think you and our sherbert are a bit different? The fudge I think depends on a lot on where you get them from, they vary a lot. As a kid sometimes we would like to bite into the flying saucer to great a hole, then lick the sherbert out with our tongues :D

2 of my faves in here - rainbow drops and flying saucers. Rainbow drops can be used as a cereal! And try letting the saucers dissolve😅 they’re less styrofoam-y. Also, Sainsbury’s is one of our supermarkets, so anything with their name on it is the shop’s own brand products.
I've absolutely loved Flying Saucers since 1964 when I first discovered them, aged 7!! The outsides are (or at least were then - can anyone tell us if they're the same today?) made of rice paper. (You're right though, Anna, they are a bit like communion wafers.) Great reaction folks, and HILARIOUS at regular intervals! 🤣
I can confirm they are still(as of last year) made from rice paper, although they tasted much more cardboard-y then I remembered them from when i'd last had them as a kid back in the 1980's.
You can get vimto flying saucers from "The Range". But in general, I don't think they've changed much. Fun fact: they were originally used for medication before pills and capsules. The powder was measured out in these rice paper saucers.
We've always used Rainbow Drops as an Ice Cream topping! Just sprinkle a few on top along with Ice Creams Sauces , flakes and hundreds and thousands! :D
every time i ever wanted one of those lolly pops my mum would be like "Oh no im so sorry they were out" and if i pointed to them she'd tell me "Oh no they are display" and i fucking believed her hahaha
Many years ago my aunt and uncle had a corner news agent store (UK). Every New Year my parents, my brother and I would stay-over and spend three days stocktaking. My, negotiated, payment was a large box of the flying saucers and a large box of marshmallow strawberry shrimps. As a six year old they would allow my brother to serve at the counter, standing on a box. Customers would queue up to be served by him. His math has always been excellent and they would by several small items to see how quickly he could calculate the total cash in his head. Often they would be so impressed that they told him to keep the change.
You guys need to remember that some snacks are marketed for toddlers/kids and not for grown ass adults. Things like Rainbow Drops are great for keeping little ones quiet for 5 minutes.
Sainsburys are a large supermarket chain, they do a bunch of own brand products, I used to work as a product developer and we worked a lot with large stores doing their seasonal own branded ranges for them, we actually did stuff for Walmart too, all the buyers we had to work with when designing products were absolute idiots, it was always so frustrating, they had zero knowledge of how business worked, they were just good salespeople (just like on 'The Apprentice'), which is ironic as in the UK buyers are often given the job title 'Business Development Manager', they act like they run the show and are insanely arrogant, glad I'm out of that industry!... rant over, I'm not bitter honest! 🤣

I've loved Flying Saucers since I was really little and my other half, as part of my Christmas presents, puts me a box of sweets together each year and there's usually about half a dozen packets of Flying Saucers in there, along with White Mice, Parma Violets, jellies and others. I'm guessing by your reactions that sour/fizzy sweets aren't that popular in the States? Also, I think the brand you were thinking of with the fudge was Werther's (as in Werther's Originals)?
I'm glad you enjoyed the flying saucers I sent 😅. JT, you gave me the reaction I was hoping for and then some 😂 so glad you liked them Anna.

Flying Saucers were made back in the Victorian era for containing a dose of medicine powder to make it more convenient, then someone had the better idea of putting sherbet in them and selling them as sweets.

Flying Saucers and communion wafers are made from a form of rice paper. Also Tango used to have a catchphrase of "You know when you've been Tangoed". By the faces you made when you tasted it, you both were Tangoed.

When you say that the Rainbow Drops remind you of cereal, you're not wrong. It's just that artificially-coloured puffed rice that's covered in sugar is something that you eat for breakfast in the US. Here it's a special sweet treat for children! 😂
I remember eating Melody Pops in the 1980's. I still buy one now and again for the nostalgia alone. Burst out laughing when JT jumped out his chair in excitement. 😂
When you were blowing the Melody Pop you were speaking a language called Clanger which is what the alien creatures from the kids TV show The Clangers spoke.(Clangers (usually referred to as The Clangers) is a British stop-motion animated children's television series, consisting of short films about a family of mouse-like creatures who live on, and inside, a small moon-like planet. They speak only in a whistled language, and eat green soup (supplied by the Soup Dragon) and blue string pudding. The programmes were originally broadcast on BBC1 between 1969 and 1972 There is an American Version narrated by William Shatner which has.been going since 2015 which actually has more episodes than the Original Series.
The reboot isn't entirely American, it was made in collaboration between Cbeebies (British) and Sprout (American). The episodes are narrated by William Shatner in the USA, and by Michael Palin in the UK.
Love your reactions. Brits, overall, prefer things with less sugar. When I visit the states I find your drinks way too sweet but Reece’s peanut butter cups are a 10+ sending love from Scotland ❤️
Literally no Brits who arent toddlers eat rainbow drops or flying saucers lol. That's the shit you ate when you were 2 years old and your parents bought you some sweeties. And even back then I didnt like them.
Hilarious vlog JT and Anna 😂 I absolutely love the 2 of you, you never fail to put a smile on my face 😀 Some of those sweets took me back to my childhood, especially the flying saucers and rainbow drops. Thank you for brightening up my day ❤
Used to love those whistle sweets as a kid, my mother how ever hated them lol. 😂 the flying saucers are rice paper with sherbet inside, your faces lol.😂 Sainsbury's is a supermarket (large grocery store) like Tesco and our other ones are Asda and Morrisons. 😊
Has Sainsbury changed so much since I last lived in the UK, just over 20 yrs ago? It was then a supermarket chain chiefly, though not exclusively, focused on grocery, greengrocery, and household consumables. Walmart carries everything from tyres and toys to camping goods and cruises.

I love these tasting videos. Rainow drops are delicious, I could eat bags and bags of them. I also really like the Popped chips or crisps, they make a sweet and salty flavour which are amazing.
i love flying saucers i could eat them till they come out my ears Flying Saucers sweets are small capsules of rice paper filled with a Sherbet Filling. First produced in the 1950's, these have become a retro favourite. Each flying saucer is made from rice paper that has sour sherbet, which creates a zingy, explosion that melts in your mouth

I remember eating Melody Pops in the 1980's. I still buy one now and again for the nostalgia alone. Burst out laughing when JT jumped out his chair in excitement. 😂
When you were blowing the Melody Pop you were speaking a language called Clanger which is what the alien creatures from the kids TV show The Clangers spoke.(Clangers (usually referred to as The Clangers) is a British stop-motion animated children's television series, consisting of short films about a family of mouse-like creatures who live on, and inside, a small moon-like planet. They speak only in a whistled language, and eat green soup (supplied by the Soup Dragon) and blue string pudding. The programmes were originally broadcast on BBC1 between 1969 and 1972
There is an American Version narrated by William Shatner which has.been going since 2015 which actually has more episodes than the Original Series.
The reboot isn't entirely American, it was made in collaboration between Cbeebies (British) and Sprout (American). The episodes are narrated by William Shatner in the USA, and by Michael Palin in the UK.
Love your reactions. Brits, overall, prefer things with less sugar. When I visit the states I find your drinks way too sweet but Reece’s peanut butter cups are a 10+ sending love from Scotland ❤️
Look up Jolly and Ollie’s little girl, Juno, trying Reece’s pieces. Hilarious and adorable at the same time.
Sainsburys is a chain store like Walmart, they have their own brand! 💖
Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.....
Literally no Brits who arent toddlers eat rainbow drops or flying saucers lol. That's the shit you ate when you were 2 years old and your parents bought you some sweeties. And even back then I didnt like them.
Can anybody tell me if Mr & Mrs JT have ever tasted Scampi & Lemon Nik Naks?
I ate Rainbow Drops and Flying Saucers when I was a kid, I've tried them as an adult and wondered how I ever enjoyed eating them! 🤣
They are a bit of a let down these days. Lots more flavour in the 70's/80's.
I still love flying saucers but yeah rainbow drops aren't as good as they used to be. You have to eat a big handful to get any flavour now
We need more newsagents with the old sweets
Hilarious vlog JT and Anna 😂 I absolutely love the 2 of you, you never fail to put a smile on my face 😀 Some of those sweets took me back to my childhood, especially the flying saucers and rainbow drops. Thank you for brightening up my day ❤

He actually got Tango'd like in the old adverts!
Sainsburys ( sAnes-brEeze) is a store here in the uk , the candy u ate has sherbert inside
I loved Flying Saucers when I was a kid,I'm 73 now and still love them!
Glad you tried the melody pops 😂 we used to get one after going to the doctor because the chemist next to the doctor sold them.
Exactly when i used to get em as a kid in the chemist :D
You honestly want a 10 ?
I'm from northern Ireland - UK
And a STAR BAR is the best chocolate you'll get 😜
Used to love those whistle sweets as a kid, my mother how ever hated them lol. 😂 the flying saucers are rice paper with sherbet inside, your faces lol.😂 Sainsbury's is a supermarket (large grocery store) like Tesco and our other ones are Asda and Morrisons. 😊
Waitrose, M&S, and, at the other end of the scale, the German interlopers, Aldi and Lidl.
@@allenwilliams1306 Wasn't gonna go through the lot lol.
No idea why they don’t know about the flying saucers, we have had them in the US ,since the late 1960s.
Flying saucers and rain drops was my childhood sweets
You guys are freaking awesome. Come to the UK, it'll blow your mind
I adore rainbow drops and flying saucers 😅
Laughed ahd had tears in my eyes when you tried the flying saucers. I am 70 and we had them as treats when we were kids.
You're welcome, my doing 😆
Sainsbury's is a supermarket in the UK like a Walmart but more expensive
Tbf, food in Walmart ain't cheap (grocery prices in the US are actually pretty shocking). They do have clothes priced like Primark though!
Has Sainsbury changed so much since I last lived in the UK, just over 20 yrs ago? It was then a supermarket chain chiefly, though not exclusively, focused on grocery, greengrocery, and household consumables. Walmart carries everything from tyres and toys to camping goods and cruises.
@@t.a.k.palfrey3882can get all the usual suspects still in Sainsburys as well as clothing and anything that Argos stocks, Sainys bought Argos and a lot of the bigger ones have Argos collection points now
THE FLYING SAUCERS, DONT CHEW, LET THEM MELT !!!!!! 👍
I love these tasting videos.
Rainow drops are delicious, I could eat bags and bags of them. I also really like the Popped chips or crisps, they make a sweet and salty flavour which are amazing.
Your experience with the can drinks would be so much better chilled!
Or with vodka...Tango is best for vodka ❤
Flying Saucers used to be one of my favourites when I was a kid.
I don't know why but i find Rainbow drops addictive but they don't taste of anything. 🤷♀️
rainbow drops, to us its candy to you its a breakfast cereal.
i love flying saucers i could eat them till they come out my ears Flying Saucers sweets are small capsules of rice paper filled with a Sherbet Filling. First produced in the 1950's, these have become a retro favourite. Each flying saucer is made from rice paper that has sour sherbet, which creates a zingy, explosion that melts in your mouth
