As an American I can say that we don’t drink half of those things. We drink Sprite, Rootbeer, Dr. Pepper, cream soda, orange fanta, coca cola, and others not shown in the video.
@@woodcider I suspect they have not ever had actual root beer. Most major brands use root beer "flavors" and not a recipe for the real deal. Same with ginger ale ... the real stuff has ginger in it, most big brands do not have real ginger in it at all. Just ginger "flavor".
As an American I’m assuming the warhead soda is a novelty item just like beanboozled. No one sits and just eats sock flavored jelly beans lol same with that
In my opinion they brought the wrong drinks. Besides the mountain dew should've came Pepsi or Coke, Sprite, Snapple ice tea, or regular Arizona lemon ice tea, Sunkist orange soda and Turkey hill Lemonade.
I don't get it? Tried to look it up, but the internet was no help. What IS Cla? I called it Chlamydia juice myself. The ingredients made it sound horrible.
I'm a 44 year old American woman and I've never heard of it either. Maybe it's regional. Just looked it up on wiki and it says it's popular in the Southern US.
@@lynntaylor9681After reading both of your comments I can confirm that yes, it is definitely regional. I’m from Texas and Big Red is ubiquitous down here. We even have a Big Red and Barbacoa (type of taco meat) festival (those two items are considered to be complimentary here). For the record I hate it 😂
Big Red is a cream soda originally from Waco Texas. The first flavors are citrus with a smooth vanilla after taste. Almost like an "oaky afterbirth" - sorry had to say it.
This entire sampling was like it intentionally had the worst of the worst. I too had never heard of some and would not want the others. Fanta was the only one I would care to drink and only if cold on ice, but not much of it. Maybe another flavor.
You have to remember the big drink companies like Pepsi coke 7up Dr Pepper already exist in the uk. That’s why they’re finding all these obscure drinks we don’t know about. Pretty sure Mountain Dew tried to get in on the market here but it got banned or something cause of the colourings or something
I have not laughed so hard in quite a while.The minute the headmaster said "Cla"? I about died! So glad I had already finished my food, or I would have choked on it. Somebody had to have wet their pants laughing in that scenario🤣

Big Red - a classic, old-school American soda, absolutely tastes like medicine - because that's what it is. Soda shops started as a bar in your local pharmacy, and you'd purchase a medical drink. Pepsi is so named because it contained pepsid - a stomach medication. Coca-cola, named for the primary ingredients of Coca leaf and Kola nut, root beer, being a small beer made from various medicinal roots... Yeah, old soda flavors are medicinal in nature. And freaking delicious if you grew up drinking them recreationaly.
Grape-flavored anything in America is based on the Concord Grape, one of the few grape varieties native to the USA. The fresh grapes have a sweet, but tart profile kind of like a sweet wine (and that's before the grapes have been fermented). Most Americans will recognize the familiar taste of Concord Grape jelly from their PB & J's but Concord Grapes apparently taste VERY different from the grapes used in Europe. Also, Mountain Dew was originally created to be mixer for liquor, particularly whiskey and homemade moonshine, it only became popular as a standalone drink later.

The mistake made on the Arizona Tea was that they sent the boys Green Tea with Ginseng. If it were the Green Tea with honey, it would've played out differently. 😂
Clamato is not a drink that should ever be drank on its own outside of a Ceasar. For Americans or Brits wondering, its basically a Bloody Mary made with Clamato, but it is x100 times better. Clamato is basically a mixed drink base, and I refuse to believe anyone ever drinks it on it's own. In Canada our bottles of Clamato were literally branded as a Ceasar base and not as a drink. I mean the picture on the bottle you have even shows it as having a garnish on the glass, in Canada our bottles show the glass having a spiced rim and often come in "party packs" with a bottle of vodka too.
clamato is used in a mexican beverage called a “michelada.” it’s got beer, limes, chili spices, and other flavors as well. that’s the only way i’ve ever seen clamato used but i’m in the southwest US, we do things a little differently down here!
With the irony being that Arizona tea isn't actually made in Arizona. But, the diet versions of their beverages are just gross. The standard fare Arizona tea (any flavor, really) would be infinitely better.
Gas is short for gasoline, not the state of matter. That’s what it is, gasoline. They call it petrol. Short for petroleum. But petroleum is crude oil. Would make more sense to call the motor oil ‘petrol’ because it’s significantly less refined than gasoline.
Ironically the term "gasoline" was created in the UK, then brought over to the United States and by the time it was adopted in the United States it was forgotten in favor of "Petrol" in the UK.
As an American, I just love watching these particular videos. All the participants are familiar by now, and their reactions are priceless. This was the best one yet!
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.

3:47 In San Antonio, we have a Big Red and Barbacoa 🌮festival every year. Not my favorite soda but It’s custom for us to drink this soda with the tacos on Sundays
The hardest I’ve laughed in awhile 🤣 “what’s a cla?” followed by that serious look by headmaster Dave. This series will never get old keep ‘em coming lol! Also, as a Texan I can’t believe not one person liked Big Red 🥲 the only drink I will actually drink among all of the ones they tried.
The medicine taste from the drinks comes from their history. When soft drinks were first made they were promoted as 'healthy' drinks. Coke had cocaine in it and 7-up had lithium citrate also other drinks had medical ingredients added. Root beer was promoted as an alternative to alcoholic beer. This had both of us laughing so much!
Big Red is bubblegum flavored and was very popular in the southern part of the U.S., when I was growing up. I could never quite figure out the flavor and ended up Googling it about 10 years ago. 🙂
Throwing in the Clamato wasnt really fair though! No one drinks that straight, its like a mixer for cocktails. I love watching the kids try our American foods- ❤️❤️
@@valentineyves ok thanks i try it one day, maybe with tequila since thats form mexico too. we use britvic or big tom or tomato juice for bloody marys but you can also drink it without alcohol, with this clam stuff not sure if i could handle it without being a cocktail, lets see
@@drinkwater9891Do NOT try it with tequila 😂 I’m Mexican, we mix it with our beer (michelada) or like the other person said, in shrimp cocktails (coctel de camaron)
Fun fact about Mountain Dew, if someone else hasn’t already commented it, it was originally created to be mixed with whiskey to make whiskey taste better.
That's why if you look at old ads for Mountain Dew it had a hillbilly with a moonshine jug (mountain dew was slang for moonshine). The original lemon-lime flavor was supposed to make whiskey taste like fine Tennessee moonshine. Not sure the same could be said today since it's more of a mix of orange and lemonade flavor now.
No wonder it's a favorite for hillbillies. I once saw a documentary about hillbillies that said many even babies are addicted to it. It's too harsh for my stomach. I cant drink it and haven't in decades.
@@dustinduncan2444I remember those commercials when they first came out. I actually liked it back then, but the last time I tried some I may as well been drinking antifreeze. It was horrible and I never tried it again, regardless of the many flavors out now.
I just love watching the boys react to things but Dave is something else, he never fails to make laugh or smile. I was nearly like Josh with his reaction 😂
They picked some really weird choices for this. Our most popular sodas are Mtn Dew, Pepsi/Coke, Dr. Pepper, MUG Rootbeer and Ginger Ale. Edit: apparently you guys have most of these already. Whoops.
Pepsi coke Dr Pepper already exist here that’s why they ain’t give them those. Edit ginger beer is here too but nobody drinks it cause it’s disgusting lol
"Made with cane sugar" is a selling phrase because some years ago, cane sugar was replaced in many soda recipes with high fructose corn syrup, which people haven't liked as much (and may be even less healthy).
@@SuperCoolZomb1e Unfortunately, a few factories in Mexico have started using artificial sugar in their sodas to save money, but don't disclose that it's not cane sugar anymore.
From an American - me 🙋🏼♀️ - I am SO SORRY for the garbage drinks they gave you!! I’ve never even seen warheads in a can!!! Hopefully next time, they will get you some better stuff! 😂😂🤦🏼♀️
@@lelenene3644 I already knew they would hate mountain dew lol. I only get in once in a while, but it is a really weird one same with big red. But I like my grape soda, but even better is cherry or classic coke/pepsi
@@loxhisk2243theres tons if sodas that are actually popular here in the USA but aren't as obscure as big redd or warheads soda. Also the diet decaf version of the green tea? Really?
@@go-away-5555 and most of those are already popular outside of the US or not surprising. Most western places are very americanised so the only point to a video like this is to try weird drinks
Omg!!! I literally almost peed myself when the dean said “cla” instead of clam. 😂🤣 I even have my 12yo and his buddies addicted to your channels. MORE CONTENT PLEEEEEASE! 🤩
I believe the person from America who sent these didn't send very well known drinks that you can readily buy in England, that is why some of these are rather wack and are more or less regional ones. Never had even heard of Big Red and a couple others but I bet if you go to certain parts of the US they are heavily consumed. It would have been rather stupid to send them Cokes and Sprites. Loved the bit about "...why do Americans call it gas when it's literally a liquid" and also the "What's a Cl?" This has got to be the best headmaster in all of England. This is such fun and I bet the students are enjoying every minute at that school and behaving and learning like I wish they would in the US.
@@TheEWFX29 Big Red soda is, funny enough, basically bubble gum flavor. It's common in the southern US, but not most people's first (or second... or third) choice.
I am American, and the only soda in here that I recognized was Mountain Dew. I also know Crush and Fanta, but you got weird versions. It feels like you got a lot of those weird soda flavors that are there just for the sake of having them. Collectors items almost.
What I find refreshing is having reactions of these kids as honest as they can be. Adults reactions is the very common on a majority of UA-cam videos no matter where you are from, but having British highschoolers react to American products - comedic, truthful, and to the point! Love the headmaster having a great time, with Josh and Ollie and YES gas is a liquid... LOL. Very entertaining video!
Never even knew Warhead soda existed and I live in the US. Seeing the Clamato come out, I knew the results were going to be hilarious and I was right!! LOL!! Truly, Clamato was made for mixing, not drinking straight. Trust Olly and Josh to make this the last one to try.. LOL!!!
You have to PREPARE the Clamato! Ice cold, mix in lemon juice, Tabasco, Worchestire sauce, pepper, some salt and mix it. Add an ice cold beer....HEAVEN! especially on a Sunday morning with a hangover. Guys, im telling you! Greetings from Mexico.
Outside of Mountain Dew, Arizona and a few others, they chose some very niche drinks that you would not find in every grocer. Never drank or seen Big Red, warhead soda or blue fanta, and some soda’s you have to go to a beverage store like BevMo to find.
I love how Josh and Olly do all the nice eating of Michelin star food but when there is any whiff something could be gross it’s time for an episode with the school kids 😉😉😂😂
I gotta say, Clamato juice is Canadian, at some restaurants it’s one of the options instead of soup or salad, sprinkle salt and pepper and drink it up! Love it!
Clamato was an EXTREMELY hilarious choice 😂 ....it's a beverage that you either LOVE it or HATE it....there's no middle area of uncertainty. Great video guys, keep up the great work 😃 👍
Mtn. Dew originated in Northeast TN - Appalachia, and was originally a kind of mixer for hard liquor. "Mountain Dew" was the nickname for it, and it was usually mixed with whiskey (lots of Scots/Irish immigrants to this area.)
just for the record, Big Red is a very texan/southern thing(like sweet iced tea) it is very much regional. the "official" flavor is "citrus cream soda" but most of us natives say it tastes like cotton candy or pink chewing gum. even here in the states outside of our region, it is not well liked
I was wondering! I'm from the southern US (Georgia) and I've actually never even heard of it. I assumed it had to be a regional thing I was just unaware of
@@ashliel4111 it was originally created in san antonio. i think by the 7 up company. its now owned by dr pepper, also a texas company coming from the waco area.
Big Red is a Southern drink. My dad is from Kentucky and loved this drink. He would have family members bring it when they came to visit us in Florida. I never liked it. 😜
Amazing to see OG's Theo, Lorenzo, Arthur & Henok grow up before our eyes. Long term Jolly viewers will fondly recall the 7 students of the same school taking a 2 week trip to Korea. I wonder whether another overseas trip maybe planned for these classmates? (Maybe elsewhere this time, many an Asian destination e.g. Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand or America perhaps?)
as a brit, i'd say although UK sweets and chocolate clear US chocolate and sweets, there's something about US soft drinks that i love so much. whether it's the 50g of sugar in a 350ml can, cancer causing colouring, i literally don't care. fanta grape, major melon and voltage mtn dew, cherry vanilla coke. all just insane.

I agree, I am not from Arizona but I work at the company that makes it I’m like why gives kids decaf/diet? Lol
4:29 😭😂💀 we don’t even drink that stuff
“I don’t know why Americans call it gas, it’s a liquid” sent me 😂 I’ve never thought of that before haha
To be fair, I've always used "gasoline" and not "gas" as a descriptor for it - which is more accurate, but not accurate still lol
@LordLOC I think we can get away with gas because it DOES become a gas when it gets lit up in your car. It's a bit of a stretch I guess lol
@@jamesedwards147 thats like calling a candle - gas.
Gas is short for gasoline, not the state of matter. That’s what it is, gasoline. They call it petrol. Short for petroleum. But petroleum is crude oil. Would make more sense to call the motor oil ‘petrol’ because it’s significantly less refined than gasoline.
Ironically the term "gasoline" was created in the UK, then brought over to the United States and by the time it was adopted in the United States it was forgotten in favor of "Petrol" in the UK.
Mountain Dew is just described as "citrus". It has lemon, lime, and a bit of orange juice in it for flavoring.
thats not even close to what is all in a mtn dew
@@ThatEmoGirl technically yes, but those are the main flavors that most people can taste.
@@ThatEmoGirlyeah, people just class it as a citrus soda.
Don't forget grapefruit. That's its main constituent flavor.
Those of us that don't like original men dew call it "carbonated goat p*ss". Yet, I like the Code Red flavor. Yeah, I'm weired.😂
As an American, I just love watching these particular videos. All the participants are familiar by now, and their reactions are priceless. This was the best one yet!
Fully agree except not close to the best one 😂
3:46 I’m from the US and I’ve NEVER heard of Big Red before today.
What?! How? What state are you from?
me to
Same
I lost it at “Cla. What’s Cla?” 😂 I have tears!!
He said 'Cl' 😂😂😂
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.
Romans 6:23
John 3:16
The fear in his voice😂
Never change, Grace. Your laughter fills up the room
Yeay Grace! 🎉
What's a "cla" was the best... had Josh literally rolling on the floor laughing 😂
100th like
I rewatched that moment like 10 times
That was a comedy moment when I saw that happening.
he knew what he was doing, but he's a headmaster lol
3:47
In San Antonio, we have a Big Red and Barbacoa 🌮festival every year. Not my favorite soda but It’s custom for us to drink this soda with the tacos on Sundays
The hardest I’ve laughed in awhile 🤣 “what’s a cla?” followed by that serious look by headmaster Dave. This series will never get old keep ‘em coming lol! Also, as a Texan I can’t believe not one person liked Big Red 🥲 the only drink I will actually drink among all of the ones they tried.
Leave it to Ollie with his impromptu humor Big Red Flag😂😂😂
I think big red is something we Texans grew up on, I seen people form other states try it and think it’s weird taste.
Yes, Dr Pepper, Big Red, Creme Soda, RC Cola, and sweet tea made the correct way, with the sugar cooked in not just poured in cold.
Big Red is one of those things if you grew up with it you love it, and if you didn't grow up with it you hate it.
Because it's trash. Sorry pal.
@@DrewGalyen agree to disagree sir lol
The medicine taste from the drinks comes from their history. When soft drinks were first made they were promoted as 'healthy' drinks. Coke had cocaine in it and 7-up had lithium citrate also other drinks had medical ingredients added. Root beer was promoted as an alternative to alcoholic beer. This had both of us laughing so much!
oh the good old days!
As Tyrone Biggums said, cocaine in a can baby!
Some of those I don't think exist everywhere. Big red?!
@@kdcbattlecreek It may be a southern drink even so I've found it hard to find it around my area (south of Chattanooga TN).
It exists. Mostly in the south but I've seen it around.
@@kdcbattlecreek
The reason it points out that it’s made with cane sugar, is because most sodas use high fructose corn syrup instead of real sugar.
That’s a US thing. In most other places in the world most sodas are made with real sugar
That's what I was gonna say. You get a Mexican coke for the same reason. LOL.
Big Red is bubblegum flavored and was very popular in the southern part of the U.S., when I was growing up. I could never quite figure out the flavor and ended up Googling it about 10 years ago. 🙂
Throwing in the Clamato wasnt really fair though! No one drinks that straight, its like a mixer for cocktails. I love watching the kids try our American foods- ❤️❤️
My boy loves drinking it n my mom n my self is good n healthy
but why you got to put clams in it thts just wrong
@@drinkwater9891because it’s a mixer for a shrimp cocktail,, it’s a Mexican dish
@@valentineyves ok thanks i try it one day, maybe with tequila since thats form mexico too. we use britvic or big tom or tomato juice for bloody marys but you can also drink it without alcohol, with this clam stuff not sure if i could handle it without being a cocktail, lets see
@@drinkwater9891Do NOT try it with tequila 😂 I’m Mexican, we mix it with our beer (michelada) or like the other person said, in shrimp cocktails (coctel de camaron)
11:05 "that's the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life 😃😃😃" - I love that he said it with the calmest smile! 🤣🤣
Love how headmaster Dave is still a child at heart, loving all the artificial colors and flavors 😂
I have never in my life even seen a warheads soda. bless your hearts. I can't believe they let you guys make them drink that, lmao.
Fun fact about Mountain Dew, if someone else hasn’t already commented it, it was originally created to be mixed with whiskey to make whiskey taste better.
wait really?
that's interesting, I'll have to try that out.
Wut
That's why if you look at old ads for Mountain Dew it had a hillbilly with a moonshine jug (mountain dew was slang for moonshine). The original lemon-lime flavor was supposed to make whiskey taste like fine Tennessee moonshine. Not sure the same could be said today since it's more of a mix of orange and lemonade flavor now.
No wonder it's a favorite for hillbillies. I once saw a documentary about hillbillies that said many even babies are addicted to it.
It's too harsh for my stomach. I cant drink it and haven't in decades.
@@dustinduncan2444I remember those commercials when they first came out. I actually liked it back then, but the last time I tried some I may as well been drinking antifreeze. It was horrible and I never tried it again, regardless of the many flavors out now.
Ain’t no way they just poured Arizona green tea into a cup that clearly had big red remnants in it 😂
The Arizona green tea is disgusting. The Big Red could have only improved it and I don't even know what Big Red taste like.
It was also the diet version!
@@vadave311 arizona green tea doesn’t really taste like much, but big red is pretty gross so it definitely wasn’t helping anything
@@Diamond_Skiesand caffeine free!!😅
Those boys are probably scared for life and will never know the joy of sweet tea done right😂
I've watched these kids so many times that now I feel as though I can anticipate their reactions. They need their own show.
“Big Red is a classic American soda.”
Me, an American: “wtf is Big Red?” 😂
I just love watching the boys react to things but Dave is something else, he never fails to make laugh or smile. I was nearly like Josh with his reaction 😂
“What is a cla?”Possibly the best question of the 21st century. I haven’t laughed this hard in a decade. 😂😂😂😂
"It tastes how you expect it to taste. You can taste the red" - an English kid who could probably pursue a career in comedy.
The Clamato reactions are absolute gold! I'm laughing so hard, tears coming out.
The headmaster is a comedian I swear 😂
These kids are just so darn adorable and the principal is hilarious!!! I love these!
Hahaha Im amazed at how funny/witty some of them are!
This series keeps getting better and better. The laughter and thoughts of everyone was the highlight of this episode 😂😂😂
6:42 wrong Arizona flavor they need the iced tea lemonade
Why did they give them decaffeinated diet tea? That's so gross.
They picked some really weird choices for this. Our most popular sodas are Mtn Dew, Pepsi/Coke, Dr. Pepper, MUG Rootbeer and Ginger Ale.
Edit: apparently you guys have most of these already. Whoops.
Exactly. Never heard or seen some of those. Ugh 😫.
You spelled Barqs wrong
@@comicbrandon yeah, Barqs, A&W and MUG are all solid
Yes!!!!
Pepsi coke Dr Pepper already exist here that’s why they ain’t give them those. Edit ginger beer is here too but nobody drinks it cause it’s disgusting lol
"Made with cane sugar" is a selling phrase because some years ago, cane sugar was replaced in many soda recipes with high fructose corn syrup, which people haven't liked as much (and may be even less healthy).
High fructose corn syrup destroys your liver and pancreas much worse than sugar. Much less is required but the bodily harm is exponential.
Mexican coke and some other Mexican sodas are really good with cane sugar in a glass bottle
High fructose corn syrup frys your pancreas!
@@TheSheepDogPatriot1776your pancreas can't tell the difference between sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
@@SuperCoolZomb1e Unfortunately, a few factories in Mexico have started using artificial sugar in their sodas to save money, but don't disclose that it's not cane sugar anymore.
Mr. Smith is low-key hilarious. I wanna grab a beer with that guy
He doee seem like a wildman 😂😂😂😂
Rory makes these videos worthwhile.
As a southerner…. Their reaction to Big Red is exactly what I assumed it would be 😂😂😂
Okay it’s a southern drink. I never heard of it on the west coast so I assumed it must be regional
Acquired taste.
As a New England boy, i couldn't tell you what Big Red is for all the tea in China.
@@thesketchyleo3038 Its literally cream soda with a bite.
@@westhoodqualzini7884 You can get it at some gas stations here. I know because I love it and am always trying to find some lol
From an American - me 🙋🏼♀️ - I am SO SORRY for the garbage drinks they gave you!! I’ve never even seen warheads in a can!!! Hopefully next time, they will get you some better stuff! 😂😂🤦🏼♀️
I was about to say these were the worst drinks in America 😭 I don't drink/like anyyyy of these except the berry Fanta is so good
The only good one they gave was mtn dew 🥱sprite tastes better
Yeah out of the drink options only like two of them are drank regularly
To each their own , I like them myself.
@@lelenene3644 I already knew they would hate mountain dew lol. I only get in once in a while, but it is a really weird one same with big red. But I like my grape soda, but even better is cherry or classic coke/pepsi
Now its time to try a classic American soda
_pulls out a drink I’ve never seen in my life_
Wouldn’t be a very good video if they drank coke and sprite 😐
@@loxhisk2243 they weren’t talk about that
@@citrusz6561 yes they are?
@@loxhisk2243theres tons if sodas that are actually popular here in the USA but aren't as obscure as big redd or warheads soda.
Also the diet decaf version of the green tea? Really?
@@go-away-5555 and most of those are already popular outside of the US or not surprising. Most western places are very americanised so the only point to a video like this is to try weird drinks
Big Red was created in my hometown in Texas!
Technically “strawberry” flavor. Some people make Big Red ice cream in the summer.
Omg!!! I literally almost peed myself when the dean said “cla” instead of clam. 😂🤣 I even have my 12yo and his buddies addicted to your channels. MORE CONTENT PLEEEEEASE! 🤩
Love that you include the Principal.
" what is a cla" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
9:09 bro had that pinky out for the tea
I believe the person from America who sent these didn't send very well known drinks that you can readily buy in England, that is why some of these are rather wack and are more or less regional ones. Never had even heard of Big Red and a couple others but I bet if you go to certain parts of the US they are heavily consumed. It would have been rather stupid to send them Cokes and Sprites.
Loved the bit about "...why do Americans call it gas when it's literally a liquid" and also the "What's a Cl?" This has got to be the best headmaster in all of England. This is such fun and I bet the students are enjoying every minute at that school and behaving and learning like I wish they would in the US.
The U.S. and U.K. both called it gasoline, but they just changed it. Same with airplane.
I heard of Big Red gum but not drink. But they said its old so maybe its like Moxie which you hear about in black and white films.
@@TheEWFX29 Big Red soda is, funny enough, basically bubble gum flavor. It's common in the southern US, but not most people's first (or second... or third) choice.
@@FuzzyPuppetFactory Yeah I am from New England so we probably haven't had that here in a long time. I was never a fan of Cherry cola or Dr Pepper.
We have Big Red in the Midwest, but I’m not sure of any one who drinks it on the regular. Growing up I used to for a very short period.
I am American, and the only soda in here that I recognized was Mountain Dew. I also know Crush and Fanta, but you got weird versions. It feels like you got a lot of those weird soda flavors that are there just for the sake of having them. Collectors items almost.
“I don’t know why they call it Gas when it’s a liquid” too funny! I have to say as an American I have never even had most of those drinks.
They don’t know it’s short for gasoline
When he said “what’s a cla” I laughed so hard I work my husband up. 😂😂😂
*woke
What I find refreshing is having reactions of these kids as honest as they can be. Adults reactions is the very common on a majority of UA-cam videos no matter where you are from, but having British highschoolers react to American products - comedic, truthful, and to the point! Love the headmaster having a great time, with Josh and Ollie and YES gas is a liquid... LOL. Very entertaining video!
Mr Smith is finally getting more camera time! He’s hilarious and a super star ❤
And a Lord, don’t forget. In a previous video they bought him a square foot of land. Now, he is Lord Smith. 😀
I'm an American retired ESL instructor and I did this on occasion with my foreign adult students. The responses were the same as your school boys. 😁
Never even knew Warhead soda existed and I live in the US. Seeing the Clamato come out, I knew the results were going to be hilarious and I was right!! LOL!! Truly, Clamato was made for mixing, not drinking straight. Trust Olly and Josh to make this the last one to try.. LOL!!!
I have seen warhead soda but I would never buy it, it's like a gag drink
Clamato is used for making bloody Mary’s. I’ve never heard of one single person drinking that stuff straight
You have to PREPARE the Clamato! Ice cold, mix in lemon juice, Tabasco, Worchestire sauce, pepper, some salt and mix it. Add an ice cold beer....HEAVEN! especially on a Sunday morning with a hangover. Guys, im telling you! Greetings from Mexico.
A Michelada is completely different drink but yea they prolly woulda liked it way better
I could go for either one right now!@@aaronramirez408
"What's a cl?" "Why do Americans call it gas. It's literally a liquid." I snorted out my hot tea. The pain was worth the laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah they're all fun but Rory (I even went back to find his name) came out with some brilliant stuff!
Those kids are great.
But we call it gas for gasoline (for those who didn't know).
Y’all are dumb it’s called “gas” which is just short for “Gasoline” which is a liquid
@@-Subtle-And they call it petrol, which it isn't. At all.
5:53 gas is short for gasoline
“That’s fizzy wee” 😅🤣
These kids are my favorite reactors. They’re hilarious!
Outside of Mountain Dew, Arizona and a few others, they chose some very niche drinks that you would not find in every grocer. Never drank or seen Big Red, warhead soda or blue fanta, and some soda’s you have to go to a beverage store like BevMo to find.
that arizona tea was diet and decaf idk how they managed that
@@JustEchoes Yeah personally I would have went with the Arizona Sweet Tea over whatever the hell Diet Decaf Green Tea is.
What part of the country are you from because we have Big Red in the Midwest. It taste like bubble gum flavored toothpaste I like it on occasions.
@@cjboyer4355we have it in the South also
I love how Josh and Olly do all the nice eating of Michelin star food but when there is any whiff something could be gross it’s time for an episode with the school kids 😉😉😂😂
HAHAHA!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
11.30 headmaster is the funniest thing I've seen in ages 🤣 😂 what's a cla? Ffs I'm dead 💀 😂😂😂❤
CLAMATO is used to make Bloody Mary's. It isn't meant to be drunk all by itself but I love it. I use it for a chaser after a shot of Tequila.
The Head Master cracks me up. Great sense of humor.
O
"Whats a cla?"
Lol
That was hilarious! Why did you give those boys the worst version of sweet tea...decaf, diet, and ginseng ? They never stood a chance with that one😂
Should have given them Milo's.
I gotta say, Clamato juice is Canadian, at some restaurants it’s one of the options instead of soup or salad, sprinkle salt and pepper and drink it up! Love it!
Fun fact: the term "Mountain Dew" was originally used to refer to moonshine or homemade whiskey!
Mountain Dew was made to be a mixer for that moonshine.
The song is pretty explicit on this too.
@@PatrickDaviswimiwamwamwazzle Yeah, but I wouldn't expect any given person to recognize the song TBH.
Clamato was an EXTREMELY hilarious choice 😂 ....it's a beverage that you either LOVE it or HATE it....there's no middle area of uncertainty. Great video guys, keep up the great work 😃 👍
The Headmaster’s amazing laugh after the “cla” moment is goals.
What is it?
Mtn. Dew originated in Northeast TN - Appalachia, and was originally a kind of mixer for hard liquor. "Mountain Dew" was the nickname for it, and it was usually mixed with whiskey (lots of Scots/Irish immigrants to this area.)
The "cla" thing had ME on the floor.😂 All are such good sports!💕👏
just for the record, Big Red is a very texan/southern thing(like sweet iced tea) it is very much regional. the "official" flavor is "citrus cream soda" but most of us natives say it tastes like cotton candy or pink chewing gum. even here in the states outside of our region, it is not well liked
I was wondering! I'm from the southern US (Georgia) and I've actually never even heard of it. I assumed it had to be a regional thing I was just unaware of
I would agree with that. I’m definitely more of a cheerwine fan myself or grapico
I knew I haven’t seen it in years for a reason, I moved from TX abt over 10 yrs ago and haven’t seen it since 😂
@@ashliel4111 it was originally created in san antonio. i think by the 7 up company. its now owned by dr pepper, also a texas company coming from the waco area.
@@RaySw89 you can find it in more specialty stores and grocers now days, but its pretty hard to find outside of texas.
11:11 what's a Cla? . That had me rolling on the floor😂😂
Big Red is a Southern drink. My dad is from Kentucky and loved this drink. He would have family members bring it when they came to visit us in Florida. I never liked it. 😜
Amazing to see OG's Theo, Lorenzo, Arthur & Henok grow up before our eyes. Long term Jolly viewers will fondly recall the 7 students of the same school taking a 2 week trip to Korea. I wonder whether another overseas trip maybe planned for these classmates? (Maybe elsewhere this time, many an Asian destination e.g. Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand or America perhaps?)
as a brit, i'd say although UK sweets and chocolate clear US chocolate and sweets, there's something about US soft drinks that i love so much. whether it's the 50g of sugar in a 350ml can, cancer causing colouring, i literally don't care. fanta grape, major melon and voltage mtn dew, cherry vanilla coke. all just insane.
I love you! I most choices of the sodas are weird.
Absolutely. When I lived in Europe, even the cheapest chocolates were amazing.
But the snacks could be very underwhelming.
YES. Voltage Mountain Dew is SO GOOD.
