These kids are hysterical! They're so proper and articulate. Their reactions are priceless! I agree that the headmaster is the best and should come to the US for a food tour.
I don’t know why, but I love watching these reactions! I’m an American. I’ve tried all of them, when I was a kid, I would literally bring home 3 pillowcases full of candy and finish it all before Christmas! But I learned to avoid the houses that have hot tamales, Twizzlers, Licorice Taffy and some of the others. Reeces were tops. My sisters and I would trade each other our least favs for our most fav- it was sorta a currency among us! Thanks for making these videos- these kids are delightful!
For Hershey's chocolate, it helps to understand the history because it explains as to why it tastes the way it does. When Milton Hershey made the chocolate bar in 1900, european chocolate was an expensive luxury in United states because it spoiled. Mikton perfected a way kf making chocolate that was shelf stable allowing him to make it cheaper and intorducing chocolate to the masses. The reason it has that off flavor is because the chocolate is alkalized which creates that sharp/sour taste. As an american, Hershey's is not seen as our bedt chooclate however its incredibly cheap and it has been such an iconic brand that most americans have aquired a taste for it even though its sharp and not smooth.
I remember taking one of the dusty bottles in the garage to the store to buy a Hershey bar when I was a kid. The bar was $0.05 and was glorious. As an adult a co-worker picked my name for Secret Santa and gave me a 5 lb. Hershey Bar. I took pieces of the bar off and sprinkled into cake batter, melted and drizzled on peanut butter cookies and Smores (of course). Sometimes I'd just have a small piece with a spoonful of peanut butter.
Cool thing about Hersheys. Milton Hershey built an entire town for his factory, and never had kids. He set up a boarding school that still runs to this day. Thousands of students from tough backgrounds are educated for free thanks to the Hershey company’s endowment to the school.
Milton Hershey had his chocolate bar recipe by 1900. He sold his caramel factory and built his chocolate factory in Derry township which is now called Hershey Pennsylvania. Milton Hershey and his wife Catherine started the school in 1909, which was funded by the money from the chocolate factory. He later on gave all his money to the school and controlling interest in the company.
One of my clients was at the Hershey school after his parents were murdered during a robbery. He's in his 80's and still contributes to the Hershey school. He says it was the best place he could have been to
My mom used to set out candy corn mixed with roasted, shelled peanuts. By the handful, they were the perfect mix of salty and sweet. Haven't had them for many years.😊
Waaaay back in my day, we got homemade popcorn balls wrapped in cellophane, home-baked cookies in various spooky shapes, homemade candy apples, caramel apples and the like. The lady of the house would toil for days before the holiday in order to make enough for the neighborhood. Good memories!
@@janetstephens9563 Really?! Those were my favorite things to get. I'd trade all my Tootsie Rolls, Candy Corn and the like with my sister. Happy Halloween, Janet!
Oh my God my mom would make homemade popcorn balls with cinnamon (the candy, not spice) every Halloween as well! And they werent rock hard either. Man do I miss those! Thanks! lol
I’m 81. When I was the age of these boys, Hershey chocolate was really good. Over the years it’s gone downhill so that I’d never even buy one now. But that’s true of all chocolate candy sold in grocery stores. Back in the late 1960’s, my father & brother in law worked at the plant where they were starting to make Pop Rocks & they brought some home - giving us a chunk about the size of a golf ball. We had to break it up to eat it but we loved them.
I agree! I'm 54 but I think it is different today than it was when I was a kid too. I also thing Cadbury chocolate is different in England than what we have here. I don't care for it either.
@@amberlindsey7112 : Our "Cadbury" eggs are made in Canada for Hershey, licensed by Cadbury. They are smaller, and I find the chocolate to be dry-ish, and quite like a cheap Hershey bar.
I agree with your flavor assessment. I’m 70 and I’m not sure if it’s preservative treatment or infusions of oxygen or what but the flavor isn’t the same, it’s worse now.
5:00 Josh's dad instinct hasn't kicked in yet, he nodded along to the thought of eating a bath bomb. Thankfully Ollie was there as the voice of reason. Oh god, that's a scary thought.
Fun fact I learned during my chemistry degree, hersheys uses a preservative called butyric acid. This molecule is also found in fermented products like cheese and dairy. It’s also present in vomit, which is why Hersheys chocolate has that after taste that puts people off.
I watched a show about how Hershey got started. He went to Europe to learn how to make chocolate, but no one would tell him- so he went back and learned from trial and error. The reason it has a sour taste is Hershey developed a cooking process that causes the milk to curdle- in Europe they avoid that to get the creamy chocolate taste without the sourness at the end.
I worked on a food panel for Kellogg and we always dreaded chocolate review days because of this reason. Out of all the samples…H Bars had the worst aftertaste ☹️
Hi! American here. Quick note about candy corn-- the flavorings in candy corn are honey and artificial vanilla (though the white-orange-brown ones are sometimes chocolate flavored). The only corn in there is corn syrup (which doesn't particularly have a flavor, it's just super-sweet). It's not meant to be corn-flavored, it's corn-SHAPED. If you picked a single kernel (or dent) of feed corn out of the cob, that's (sort of) the shape of a piece of candy corn.
Also the MOST IMPORTANT part about eating candy corn is you are not allowed to eat it all at once. You are Constitutionally required to bite it off bit by bit separating each tier of color.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Agreed! It's almost like these Brits don't honor the US Constitution of Candy Corn 😂 (But also, that would especially be true of the chocolate ones: you must eat the chocolate layer first. Must!)
Most of these in the video no one really gives out except for Reese’s and maybe candy corn . The high staples are ; Snickers, Nerds, Twix, M&Ms , skittles, charms blow pops, Tootie Pops , Jolly Ranchers and Air Heads, oh and starburst!
We’re not big on Halloween. Kids just get ordinary chocolate and sweets. I think it’s awful the way to become a big thing here. Well, the commercial version. Halloween has its Origins in Scotland or Ireland many centuries ago.
The British chocolate is better except for that disgusting orange one. It’s the food laws, our candy companies get away with giving us the very worst version of chocolate while the UK gets a better version of our sweets
@@Catherine.Dorian. Disgusting orange one? You must be among the negligible percentage of chocolate lovers that don't like it. Also, I'd like to see some evidence for your conspiracy theories that the U.S. companies intentionally make inferior chocolate while candy makers export superior products abroad. With all the Swiss, Austrian, German, and Belgian chocolate in American grocery stores, our choco-makers would be suicidal to purposely produce items that don't sell. American chocolate is not just Hershey's, and even its chocolate has improved in the last decade or so. The quality and taste of smaller, independent U.S. companies' chocolate are as good as the best of them. Besides, with the lunatic dark chocolate craze of the 21st c., the taste doesn't seem to matter any more. What is important for the self-styled health nuts is not the milky creaminess but the constipation-inducing high percentage of cocoa in their chocolate bars.
@Catherine.Dorian., I do enjoy the Terry's chocolate orange. My favorite chocolate, I can't seem to find it anymore. I love Tobler, especially the white chocolate. Though, I am not the biggest fan of Toblerone.
I love our British allies!!!!!!! Their ratings were mostly dead on. Somebody should have told them saltwater taffy we’re all different flavors! And let them pick their flavors. Loved the lad who got licorice and hated it 🤣
I've watched a lot of these "British Highschoolers try...." videos and I have concluded that British kids are smart, funny, well-spoken, insightful, witty, and interesting. I'm always happy when a new video is released. More please.
@@Benzy670 Yes, that's what I was thinking. Mr. Smith is headmaster at a private school... you're gonna have higher caliber kids going there. That said, I love them all and esp. Mr. Smith!
Milk Duds got their name because they were supposed to be perfectly round balls but they couldn't make them that way so they called them Duds because of the failure to get the shape. They added the Milk in front of it because of the amount of milk they used to make them.
Dear gosh! I'm Canadian, living on Montreal's Island. Montreal is indeed an Island in the middle of the St-Lawrence River. I have travelled so often to London UK, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.
They're also really susceptible to humidity. There's a big difference between a really fresh, flaky Butterfinger and one that's been on the shelf for a while.
Saltwater taffy originated in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which is a beach town. It's called that because it was originally sold at the seaside, so people associated it with saltwater (and maybe got a little in their mouths if they ate it with wet hands coming right out of the ocean). But it's not made with seawater!
That’s not the story of saltwater taffy. There was a storm and the seawater got into the store where the taffy was made not sure if it was the water or the sea foam but that’s how the taffy became Saltwater taffy. The story is on the box of the original store on the boardwalk
😂. “expired cheese” from Hershey Chocolate… 😂 I agree worst chocolate ever.. Need a Kit Kat, M&M, Milky Way, Snickers, Almond Joy, Skor, and Three Musketeers
When I was in college, a Dutch exchange student sent several packages of Pop Rocks to his dad, who was a school teacher. His dad let his students try them. One of the girls got hysterical and had to go to the nurse!
@ oh, I didn’t know 😊 I just thought it was odd that they gave the boys candy that is not the most popular. I love watching these! The British kids are so polite 😊
I love salt water taffy but no one gives it out for Halloween! I've never ever seen that. It really varies from flavor to flavor though. I love watermelon, any berry kind, but loathe peppermint, licorice etc
Saltwater Taffy is quite widely available in the UK at seaside towns as well so doesn't really fit the bill, though it is American originally. Love it!
The reason you won't see it is because it isn't tamper proof. It just has a flimsy wax paper wrapper. All the other candies are sealed like a Snickers, Milky Way, etc....
Bonomo's Turkish Taffy. Always vanilla and banana. There is something special about the artificial industrial banana flavor and smell. Yum. And, when I was a kid, the taffy was in a sealed foil wrap. It worked quite well at containing all the pieces and little shards of the taffy when you would put the taffy flat in your hand and then slap it flat of a surface to break it up into bite size pieces. It was a bit of a Newtonian product. If you held a piece in your hand it would tend to soften, would readily stretch if pulled apart slowly, but snap if yanked, hence the shatter when slammed on a a flat surface.
The truth about candy corn is. You get hooked on it when you’re of the age where there’s no such thing as too sweet. Then you carry that nostalgia into having some once a year as an adult. 😁
That's what it is. I love candy corn. And I look forward to going to a friend's house to help hand out candy at Halloween. Not only do I get to see the youngsters in cute costumes, but I get to have a few packets of candy corn 🤗😋.
@@RedRoseSeptember22I'm a diehard patriot but the UK completely owns us when it comes to chocolate quality. US chocolate has too many emulsifiers and preservatives.
This is what we call in the U.S. a "private school," meaning it's not a taxpayer funded school, which we call a "public school." In Britain, "public schools" are paid for by parents, not taxpayers.
I heard this growing up. I went to Coto De Caza and New Port Beach and was so disappointed. They had no Halloween decorations and gave us only one fun sized candy at each house. A person there said this is how rich people stay rich by being cheap...
@@jamieblanke8307 When was this? I feel like Halloween has gotten worse. When I was a kid our neighborhood had HUNDREDS of trick or treaters. It looked the way movies look during Halloween, like Stranger Things Halloween. Now on Halloween I don't see almost any kids anywhere. Seems like they all "trunk or treat" which is the worst thing Gen X ever invented.
I love the headmaster of this school. His kids are so lucky to have him. Maybe one day you do a video with him exclusively. We don’t have schools like his here, so I’d love to see what it’s like.
No truly! I visited for the first time two years ago and was simply blown away by their chocolate in particular. Like, oh…that’s how it’s supposed to taste 😂
Having grown up in the UK and then moving to the US (lived here 13+ years now)... most of the Halloween 'candy' is trash to be honest, some of it is good though. I do miss a lot of the UK stuff.
Candy corn have a few fans out there keeping them alive, a few people who like the nostalgic idea of them, and then everyone else who hates them. I tend to like candy corn in small amounts, but I bite the layers separately
I’m a 58-year-old American and I have always hated candy corn yuck. When I was a kid, that was the most disappointing thing you could ever put in my Halloween basket.
@@tammibasso558 as a 30 year old American, I love them. Especially the chocolate flavored ones. I can only eat a handful at a time though because they are so sweet. As a kid I loved to make fake teeth out of them
Salt Water Taffey depends a lot on the flavor you get. And if these kids had a hard time with Hot Tamales, I can only wonder how quickly they'd spit out Atomic Fire Balls. Hot Tamales were my go to as as a kid.
Lol I was just telling my husband about the atomic fire balls. They were so spicy and hurt my mouth so when I was a kid I used to run the fire ball under the faucet to rinse the spicy outer layer off😅
My mother was from Leeds. She had relatives still over there, including a very special aunt (Sis.) who would send US a tin of different toffees every Christmas, We couldn't wait for those candies. I am surprised at the unfamiliar candies. Prob best... our pediatricians are very busy treating kids for diabetes. Love your show!
Exactly! And those are the big brand good American chocolates. There are so many small chocolatiers in the US that make amazing chocolate. And I’m not a huge fan of some of the UK chocolates because I very much prefer really good dark chocolate and they seem to prefer milk chocolate.
I loved pop rocks so much as a kid. I had a step mom from the midwest who had never heard of such a devilish creation. Her whole family soon learned though 😂 My sister and I were huge fans
Get those boys some Red Vines!! Also, even if you grew up eating Hershey’s in all the varieties, you can still appreciate good chocolate. I thank my lucky stars for my husband’s German family who send us quality chocolate.
Halloween candy always includes Snickers, Almond Joy, Mounds, Twix, M & Ms; Kit Kat, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Baby Ruth, Tootsie Pops, Dum-Dum Pops. One will also generally get a few bags of crisps or pretzels. The people who gave out apples were always hated, unless they are candied, or caramel apples. This is not much of a problem anymore.
In the 80’s there was one old lady in our neighborhood who would give us a boiled peanut and a penny. That one boiled peanut would sit in the bucket untouched for weeks!
I will add that while regular Reese's remain popular, it's the Reese's holiday shapes that dominate the holidays. Reese's pumpkins are so much more superior to classic Reese's. Someone needs to send you guys some!
Yes! I always wondered why I liked the shaped ones more, so a few years ago, when I had both kinds, I checked the wrappers for the ingredients. It turned out that I was right: It wasn’t some weird psychological thing; they taste different because they’re made differently! 🤤 @joev2963 I love the bats! They seem to be harder to find than the pumpkins, though. It’s been at least a couple of years since I’ve had them.
I have to disagree. To me, none of the various shapes of Reese's PB treats beats the ratio of the original standard PB cup. It's the perfect filling to chocolate mouthful in each bite. Even the little mini cups aren't as satisfying in my opinion. The slightly thicker fluted chocolate edge with the just enough but not too much pb filling in the middle is perfectly balanced.
I have read that American chocolate, especially Hershey's, uses a chemical called butyric acid in processing that is also found in vomit, so that's why a lot of Europeans think our American chocolate tastes like vomit. It's supposedly added to increase shelf life of the candy.
@@LynnThompsonAuthor - When I was a kid growing up in the 50's and early 60's, Hershey's was actually good. Not the same anymore, it is garbage, as is most candies made in the U.S.A. They do not use sugar anymore, but use High Fructose Syrup, plus the chemicals.
The "expires cheese" comment about the Hershey's chocolate is perfect, because to this day it's made with slightly sour milk, to mimic the original taste before good refrigerated milk trucks. The fact that that key note of sour was immediately obvious is awesome.
I can’t believe you subjected those kids to our chocolate. 😂 I ate bad chocolate until I went to Europe and had Belgium chocolate. There’s no comparison!!
12:49 we also have a candy called Zots, which seem like a normal boiled sweet, but inside, there is tart, sherbet-like powder that becomes foam! They were one of my favorites, when I was young.😜😜😜😃
Great video. Now I can't wait to try the chocolate in England someday. I love these kids. So fun to see their perspective. Such intelligent, funny descriptions and comments. Let's see more 😊
i love the highschoolers series and the fact that they use just the same shool. its now the "JOLLY" school. and the head teacher is a real sport. 10/10 content
Pretty sure the headmaster (Mr. Smith) is an old friend of either Josh's or Ollie's (or both), which is why they've been able to get easier access to film at the school (and film there so frequently). It's been mentioned in videos here and there.
My grandfather-in-law loved candy corn, and kept some available at his house all year round. When he died, and my husband inherited his jacket, some candy corn was still in the pocket. It was such a cute little thing. My children remember Grandaddy-great whenever they encounter candy corn.
A far as Hershey goes it's simple, and one of the boys got it right: it's cheap. When you're little and you go camping, someone will bring marshmallows, graham crackers, and a giant, superpack of the cheapest chocolate: Hershey bars. You make s'mores. Hershey: it is a nostalgia thing.
It's a melt resistance thing. If you take a bunch of British Cadbury chocolate and put it in the back of a truck and try to drive it across America, by the time you open the bed of that truck it's going to be a congealed mess of chocolate and paper. The places in Europe that are famous for chocolate are all like alpine climates and Britain where the sun shined once in 1964 for two and half hours.
With Hershey's, I think they deliberately made it a "cheap" chocolate so that everyone could afford it. Like they weren't trying to make the best chocolate, but they are the most widely used and renowned chocolate 😂
I love to watch the headmaster he is hysterical. I’ve even got my family watching this. It’s awesome. I’m so glad we came across this channel. You guys are a riot and I love when you come to the United States and taste our food.
I love these kid's reaction/ commentary and it's nice that they were willing to try so many foreign candies. I think we have a lot of candy in America, so it's really not easy to give them one of everything, but that was a humble amount of treats ❤️
Them trying to pronounce “tamales” was it for me!! Hilarious!!!😂😂
Even the principal mispronounced it! I was amused by the boys trying to pronounce it, but the principal's pronunciation REALLY got me! LOL
This could be a whole spin off. Brits try to pronounce Spanish words. IoI. You don’t realize how much Latin culture we have in the US until you see people be completely foreign to it.

Chocolate with a touch of orange. Try making a float using orange soda and chocolate ice cream, it tastes just like a toosie roll.

Tootsie rolls were the worst to get at Halloween as a kid. I love them now.
@@cathyhogue3693- No wonder I can’t stand them! I don’t like chocolate and orange together.
2:02 When Ollie is describing the candy corn as boiled down sweet corn juice, my brain is going, "Yes. That is correct. It is called corn syrup."
And we Americans have it in almost everything. lol
Lol, same. I was like, does he realize he's just describing corn syrup
And if you stack them in a circle, they make a corn cob
It’s easier to describe it like that because the UK barely (if at all) uses corn syrup so kids won’t realise you can get syrup from corn
@@RBernsCarter Nah all of EU uses it as well. It's a common myth that high fructose corn syrup is banned or super harshly regulated in the EU or in the UK. It's just labeled different only packaging. They call it glucose-frucose syrup or glucose syrup, or invert sugar syrup, etc

Snickers, Twix, M&Ms, Milkey Way and Reeses are the most popular candy given out and purchased for home consumption. Have to have some for yourself at home!
Nerds, Laffy Taffy, Sweet Tarts, Smarties, Dum Dums, Blow Pops and Tootsie Pops are really big too
KitKats, too
Twix are AMAZING 🤩
M&Ms and Reese’s yes. None of the others are on the top 10 list!

American kids and schools could take a lesson from them.
Well, for one thing, a big difference is UK schools actually TEACH, not just teaching test scores.
@@MJG206 People in education say the opposite, that UK schools are more likely to "teach to the test" while US schools emphasize independent thinking.
To be fair about the candy, we give out a lot of snickers, almond joy, milky way,, sweetarts, and kit kats 😂😂
Yeah, very little (if any) of the candy in this video
They ain't gettin' our Kit-Kats!

I always wanted more butterfingers, tbh

As an adult a co-worker picked my name for Secret Santa and gave me a 5 lb. Hershey Bar. I took pieces of the bar off and sprinkled into cake batter, melted and drizzled on peanut butter cookies and Smores (of course). Sometimes I'd just have a small piece with a spoonful of peanut butter.
I love Hersheys chocolate!
And it's a must for s'mores.
I think it's funny that they enjoyed the Reese's but they're owned by Hershey and it's the same chocolate
Interesting. Well that explains why I don’t like Hersey. Can do without peanut butter cups too.
Cool thing about Hersheys. Milton Hershey built an entire town for his factory, and never had kids. He set up a boarding school that still runs to this day. Thousands of students from tough backgrounds are educated for free thanks to the Hershey company’s endowment to the school.
Hebuilt the factory and town before he had a recipe for milk chocolate
Milton Hershey had his chocolate bar recipe by 1900. He sold his caramel factory and built his chocolate factory in Derry township which is now called Hershey Pennsylvania. Milton Hershey and his wife Catherine started the school in 1909, which was funded by the money from the chocolate factory. He later on gave all his money to the school and controlling interest in the company.
@@dorisbruun1034Should have stuck with his day job lol, but I didn’t know he was such a philanthropist so good on him.
Funny story...one of my dentists was from Hershey, PA...always thought it sounded like a good place to set up shop. Apparently it's a great town!
One of my clients was at the Hershey school after his parents were murdered during a robbery. He's in his 80's and still contributes to the Hershey school. He says it was the best place he could have been to
My mom used to set out candy corn mixed with roasted, shelled peanuts. By the handful, they were the perfect mix of salty and sweet. Haven't had them for many years.😊
Literally the only way candy corn is bearable 😅
Good idea!
That’s such a good combo!
I love candy corn...but it is sweet. As said, really good with peanuts
Waaaay back in my day, we got homemade popcorn balls wrapped in cellophane, home-baked cookies in various spooky shapes, homemade candy apples, caramel apples and the like. The lady of the house would toil for days before the holiday in order to make enough for the neighborhood. Good memories!
I hated getting that stuff, but it is a really sweet memory. ♥️♥️♥️
@@janetstephens9563 Really?! Those were my favorite things to get. I'd trade all my Tootsie Rolls, Candy Corn and the like with my sister. Happy Halloween, Janet!
Oh my God my mom would make homemade popcorn balls with cinnamon (the candy, not spice) every Halloween as well! And they werent rock hard either. Man do I miss those! Thanks! lol
@@Tabbatha083 My Memmie would put salted peanuts in hers. That savory sweet combo was so good!
OMG homemade popcorn balls and caramel apples!
I’m 81. When I was the age of these boys, Hershey chocolate was really good. Over the years it’s gone downhill so that I’d never even buy one now. But that’s true of all chocolate candy sold in grocery stores.
Back in the late 1960’s, my father & brother in law worked at the plant where they were starting to make Pop Rocks & they brought some home - giving us a chunk about the size of a golf ball. We had to break it up to eat it but we loved them.
It used to be more natural - not all the fake flavors, colors, preservatives, etc.
I agree candy was better 50-60 years ago
I agree! I'm 54 but I think it is different today than it was when I was a kid too. I also thing Cadbury chocolate is different in England than what we have here. I don't care for it either.
@@amberlindsey7112 :
Our "Cadbury" eggs are made in Canada for Hershey, licensed by Cadbury. They are smaller, and I find the chocolate to be dry-ish, and quite like a cheap Hershey bar.
I agree with your flavor assessment. I’m 70 and I’m not sure if it’s preservative treatment or infusions of oxygen or what but the flavor isn’t the same, it’s worse now.
5:00 Josh's dad instinct hasn't kicked in yet, he nodded along to the thought of eating a bath bomb. Thankfully Ollie was there as the voice of reason. Oh god, that's a scary thought.
These guys are so darn cute. Their taste buds are the same as everyone else but their reactions are hilarious and fun.
Fun fact I learned during my chemistry degree, hersheys uses a preservative called butyric acid. This molecule is also found in fermented products like cheese and dairy. It’s also present in vomit, which is why Hersheys chocolate has that after taste that puts people off.
I watched a show about how Hershey got started. He went to Europe to learn how to make chocolate, but no one would tell him- so he went back and learned from trial and error. The reason it has a sour taste is Hershey developed a cooking process that causes the milk to curdle- in Europe they avoid that to get the creamy chocolate taste without the sourness at the end.
I worked on a food panel for Kellogg and we always dreaded chocolate review days because of this reason. Out of all the samples…H Bars had the worst aftertaste ☹️
😂😂😂
It’s only good with almonds in it or as part of a s’more.
i tried hershey once and never liked it, that's probably why
Hi! American here. Quick note about candy corn-- the flavorings in candy corn are honey and artificial vanilla (though the white-orange-brown ones are sometimes chocolate flavored).
The only corn in there is corn syrup (which doesn't particularly have a flavor, it's just super-sweet).
It's not meant to be corn-flavored, it's corn-SHAPED. If you picked a single kernel (or dent) of feed corn out of the cob, that's (sort of) the shape of a piece of candy corn.
If candy corn was corn flavored I probably wouldn't eat it 😂 I've tried corn-flavored snacks, most of them don't turn out well
Also the MOST IMPORTANT part about eating candy corn is you are not allowed to eat it all at once. You are Constitutionally required to bite it off bit by bit separating each tier of color.
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat I know they didn't eat them tight!
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat Agreed! It's almost like these Brits don't honor the US Constitution of Candy Corn 😂 (But also, that would especially be true of the chocolate ones: you must eat the chocolate layer first. Must!)
Used to nibble them, color by color.

THE PRINCIPAL DESERVES A VACATION IN AMERICA 🥳
Mr Smith? He's the Headmaster.
The gauntlet has been thrown down. Jolly needs to reverse things and have American highschoolers try British Halloween candy/chocolate.
They did. The only thing the American kids liked was the chocolate 😂
We’re not big on Halloween. Kids just get ordinary chocolate and sweets. I think it’s awful the way to become a big thing here. Well, the commercial version. Halloween has its Origins in Scotland or Ireland many centuries ago.
The British chocolate is better except for that disgusting orange one. It’s the food laws, our candy companies get away with giving us the very worst version of chocolate while the UK gets a better version of our sweets
@@Catherine.Dorian. Disgusting orange one? You must be among the negligible percentage of chocolate lovers that don't like it.
Also, I'd like to see some evidence for your conspiracy theories that the U.S. companies intentionally make inferior chocolate while candy makers export superior products abroad. With all the Swiss, Austrian, German, and Belgian chocolate in American grocery stores, our choco-makers would be suicidal to purposely produce items that don't sell. American chocolate is not just Hershey's, and even its chocolate has improved in the last decade or so. The quality and taste of smaller, independent U.S. companies' chocolate are as good as the best of them. Besides, with the lunatic dark chocolate craze of the 21st c., the taste doesn't seem to matter any more. What is important for the self-styled health nuts is not the milky creaminess but the constipation-inducing high percentage of cocoa in their chocolate bars.
@Catherine.Dorian., I do enjoy the Terry's chocolate orange. My favorite chocolate, I can't seem to find it anymore. I love Tobler, especially the white chocolate. Though, I am not the biggest fan of Toblerone.
I love our British allies!!!!!!! Their ratings were mostly dead on. Somebody should have told them saltwater taffy we’re all different flavors! And let them pick their flavors. Loved the lad who got licorice and hated it 🤣
I've watched a lot of these "British Highschoolers try...." videos and I have concluded that British kids are smart, funny, well-spoken, insightful, witty, and interesting. I'm always happy when a new video is released. More please.
To be fair, they film at a quality school that encourages this sort of thing, so you're gonna be seeing the good apples haha
“Oh that’s nice” 😂
@@Benzy670 Yes, that's what I was thinking. Mr. Smith is headmaster at a private school... you're gonna have higher caliber kids going there. That said, I love them all and esp. Mr. Smith!
@@karencox3235 Fulham Boys School is a state school (not private)
@@karencox3235 FBS is a free aka 'charter' school.
Milk Duds got their name because they were supposed to be perfectly round balls but they couldn't make them that way so they called them Duds because of the failure to get the shape. They added the Milk in front of it because of the amount of milk they used to make them.
I'm in the weird camp, I love Brach's candy corn and the little pumpkins!
Yesss! I ❤ the pumpkins. I buy myself a bag every year.
It's my daughter's and husband's favorite.
I prefer the pumpkins haha. Don't know why.

Dear gosh! I'm Canadian, living on Montreal's Island. Montreal is indeed an Island in the middle of the St-Lawrence River.
I have travelled so often to London UK, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland.
Stickity comment about butterfinger is 100% accurate! Love them, hate the sticking to my teeth
Yikes. I once saw dry rot on our houseboat. I can never eat another Butter finger.
Butterfinger is delicious! But It does get stuck alot
They're also really susceptible to humidity. There's a big difference between a really fresh, flaky Butterfinger and one that's been on the shelf for a while.
That was the funniest part of that one, seeing every single kid picking at their teeth afterwards lol.
They used to be better. Last few years they're kinda dense inside.
Saltwater taffy originated in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which is a beach town. It's called that because it was originally sold at the seaside, so people associated it with saltwater (and maybe got a little in their mouths if they ate it with wet hands coming right out of the ocean). But it's not made with seawater!
That’s not the story of saltwater taffy. There was a storm and the seawater got into the store where the taffy was made not sure if it was the water or the sea foam but that’s how the taffy became Saltwater taffy. The story is on the box of the original store on the boardwalk
I LOVE salt water taffy!❤
@@michellegardenier2174 that's the story on the box 😂
@@kyihsin2917 Yes. The Halloween taffy is peanut flavored and wrapped in orange or black.

When I was in college, a Dutch exchange student sent several packages of Pop Rocks to his dad, who was a school teacher. His dad let his students try them. One of the girls got hysterical and had to go to the nurse!
😂 Oh my that's hilarious 😂
I bet she never got picked at recess...
By far the video with “school kids trying” that gave me the most out loud laughs 😂❤️ looove
I love watching the British kids react to American food! They are so polite! Really though, you left out the best candy.
and what candy is that?
@ snickers, m&ms, skittles, charms blow pops, kit kat
@@allisonrees6763we have most of them in uk and have done since the 1960s so kinda pointless doing them.. (kitkat and skittles are British btw)
@ oh, I didn’t know 😊 I just thought it was odd that they gave the boys candy that is not the most popular.
I love watching these! The British kids are so polite 😊
@@cazareetocaza433Cool. I didn't know that about KitKat, a favorite of mine.
I love salt water taffy but no one gives it out for Halloween! I've never ever seen that. It really varies from flavor to flavor though. I love watermelon, any berry kind, but loathe peppermint, licorice etc
There is a candy store down the street from me that sells a wide variety of SW taffy. It’s one of my fav candies. ❤❤
Saltwater Taffy is quite widely available in the UK at seaside towns as well so doesn't really fit the bill, though it is American originally. Love it!
The reason you won't see it is because it isn't tamper proof. It just has a flimsy wax paper wrapper. All the other candies are sealed like a Snickers, Milky Way, etc....
Bonomo's Turkish Taffy. Always vanilla and banana. There is something special about the artificial industrial banana flavor and smell. Yum. And, when I was a kid, the taffy was in a sealed foil wrap. It worked quite well at containing all the pieces and little shards of the taffy when you would put the taffy flat in your hand and then slap it flat of a surface to break it up into bite size pieces. It was a bit of a Newtonian product. If you held a piece in your hand it would tend to soften, would readily stretch if pulled apart slowly, but snap if yanked, hence the shatter when slammed on a a flat surface.
I am guessing that you are not Gen X...we got saltwater taffy for Halloween... (South Torrance, CA)
The truth about candy corn is. You get hooked on it when you’re of the age where there’s no such thing as too sweet. Then you carry that nostalgia into having some once a year as an adult. 😁
Or you taste it when you’re young and hate it forever , my whole family of 7 hates candy corn
@@cd2_Lol That too! I’m probably the only one who I know that likes it. And it is on a rare occasion. 😂
exactly! I buy one small bag for nostalgia but I do finish it eventually!
That's what it is. I love candy corn. And I look forward to going to a friend's house to help hand out candy at Halloween. Not only do I get to see the youngsters in cute costumes, but I get to have a few packets of candy corn 🤗😋.

Better education system than here in the USA. They are taught manners too.
@steven6709 School uniforms are standard in the UK.
This is what we call in the U.S. a "private school," meaning it's not a taxpayer funded school, which we call a "public school." In Britain, "public schools" are paid for by parents, not taxpayers.
That's called a British child, I really want one lol
Where I'm from (NY), we're given Twix, Kit Kats, Snickers, Milky Ways, Three Musketeer Bars and of course Reeses Pieces
Gotta say! Totally loving the various reactions of the taste testers!!
Love the channel! Rich houses in America give full size candy bars vs fun size!
I heard this growing up. I went to Coto De Caza and New Port Beach and was so disappointed. They had no Halloween decorations and gave us only one fun sized candy at each house. A person there said this is how rich people stay rich by being cheap...
@@jamieblanke8307 That’s sad, guess it depends on where you live! They take it seriously here in Ohio, like Christmas level in Oct.
The rich houses in my neighborhood gave out king size candy bars!
Not near me. The rich houses give the worst candy. They're rich by being cheap.
@@jamieblanke8307 When was this? I feel like Halloween has gotten worse. When I was a kid our neighborhood had HUNDREDS of trick or treaters. It looked the way movies look during Halloween, like Stranger Things Halloween. Now on Halloween I don't see almost any kids anywhere. Seems like they all "trunk or treat" which is the worst thing Gen X ever invented.
I love the headmaster of this school. His kids are so lucky to have him. Maybe one day you do a video with him exclusively. We don’t have schools like his here, so I’d love to see what it’s like.
They have! Check out their other channel, ‘Korean Englishman’ they have 2 videos with the headmaster trying Korean food :)
Having grown up a kid in the USA, when I visited England as a teenager, I could not believe how good their candy was.
No truly! I visited for the first time two years ago and was simply blown away by their chocolate in particular. Like, oh…that’s how it’s supposed to taste 😂
Yes- Chocolate there & in Ireland was so good
You can buy expensive chocolate that tastes good here as well. You buy nestle and Hershey you get what you pay for.
Chocolate in most of europe seems to be taken pretty seriously.
Having grown up in the UK and then moving to the US (lived here 13+ years now)... most of the Halloween 'candy' is trash to be honest, some of it is good though. I do miss a lot of the UK stuff.
I really liked this group of kids. No American hate just appreciation and respectable “not for me”
11:46 Give them a WarHead and see what happens
That would be funny
🤣🤣🤣
There's a video a few years old where Malachi's group tried them. Theo and Lorenzo got eh WarHead soda!
41, 🇺🇸 😀. I feel like that’s important information. 😏. While the Warhead is a childhood favorite, Crybaby Tears are “longevity wise” the best/worst…
Candy corn have a few fans out there keeping them alive, a few people who like the nostalgic idea of them, and then everyone else who hates them. I tend to like candy corn in small amounts, but I bite the layers separately
I’m a 58-year-old American and I have always hated candy corn yuck. When I was a kid, that was the most disappointing thing you could ever put in my Halloween basket.
@@tammibasso558 as a 30 year old American, I love them. Especially the chocolate flavored ones. I can only eat a handful at a time though because they are so sweet. As a kid I loved to make fake teeth out of them
@@DC_Greed I highly respect your opinion. That’s what makes the world so wonderful each of us have our own taste and the things we like and don’t.
Eat them with peanuts, and you have a broken up Payday.
So do I. I love candy corn! I start at the top and work my way down. 😂
Salt Water Taffey depends a lot on the flavor you get. And if these kids had a hard time with Hot Tamales, I can only wonder how quickly they'd spit out Atomic Fire Balls.
Hot Tamales were my go to as as a kid.
I agree, Hot Tamales were the best as kids!
Lol I was just telling my husband about the atomic fire balls. They were so spicy and hurt my mouth so when I was a kid I used to run the fire ball under the faucet to rinse the spicy outer layer off😅
I still ❤them
Love hot atomic balls
Milk Duds! God, I miss those. My fav
My mother was from Leeds. She had relatives still over there, including a very special aunt (Sis.) who would send US a tin of different toffees every Christmas, We couldn't wait for those candies. I am surprised at the unfamiliar candies. Prob best... our pediatricians are very busy treating kids for diabetes. Love your show!
Candy corn is for FALL DECORATIONS. Our moms put them in candy dishes BECAUSE THEY KNOW NOBODY IS EATING THEM and they will last all fall😂😂😂
I think i was in college before I realized it was “edible” at all because my mum and grandma always used the same candy corn for decoration!! Lol
@@brookedegaish1924Pure sugar, don't care for it.

I've always loved them, too. Even with them sticking in my teeth, they're delicious.
Love this new generation of kids. Mr. Smith is always awesome.
i love seeing younger kids' reactions, its so funny! also you can see that ollie enjoying those nice comments as well. i love how honest they are.
I’ve never understood the love for Twizzlers. Like here, eat this strawberry USB cord
Agreed . If I’m doing that I prefer old fashioned red licorice.
I like them but I don’t know why because it really is like eating plastic 😅😂
LOL
for a while in the early 2000's there were starburst flavored twizzles. those where pretty good. regular ones are trash though
The regular Twizzlers are like eating plastic. The pull n peel kind is goated though.
You need to try other American chocolates like See’s and Ghirardelli’s
Exactly! And those are the big brand good American chocolates. There are so many small chocolatiers in the US that make amazing chocolate. And I’m not a huge fan of some of the UK chocolates because I very much prefer really good dark chocolate and they seem to prefer milk chocolate.
And Schaffen Berger...
maybe in a video about what adults eat... but those aren't halloween treats
Pop rocks - childhood memory unlocked!
I loved pop rocks so much as a kid. I had a step mom from the midwest who had never heard of such a devilish creation. Her whole family soon learned though 😂 My sister and I were huge fans
but pop rocks without a coke ? that's like missing 1/2 the fun.
I didn't even know they still made them!
Did you know if you eat pop rocks and drink coke at the same time you'll die?
You can get them from the dispensary (with THC) now, just in case anyone here might be into that 😊
Get those boys some Red Vines!!
Also, even if you grew up eating Hershey’s in all the varieties, you can still appreciate good chocolate. I thank my lucky stars for my husband’s German family who send us quality chocolate.
8:11 doing it right! You haven’t had a true twizzler experience unless you’ve played with the twizzler before eating it!
Halloween candy always includes Snickers, Almond Joy, Mounds, Twix, M & Ms; Kit Kat, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Baby Ruth, Tootsie Pops, Dum-Dum Pops. One will also generally get a few bags of crisps or pretzels. The people who gave out apples were always hated, unless they are candied, or caramel apples. This is not much of a problem anymore.
we hated people who gave out taffy, too
Every year this one old man would give out 5 pennies wrapped in aluminum foil...😂
In the 80’s there was one old lady in our neighborhood who would give us a boiled peanut and a penny. That one boiled peanut would sit in the bucket untouched for weeks!
A neighbor lady gave hot wheels instead of candy!
Oh my g… the dang dentist gave out tooth brushes. I hated that…he hated kids.
you forgot the Popcorn balls!
I love these kids. Such a good representation for schools over there. The headmaster is hilarious. They definitely need to come to the U.S.
Those British boys are so adorable I love these videos, they're so honest yet so polite at the same time....
He said “hot males” 😭😭 3:44
the Hot Tamales are making me want to have these boys try Mexican candy. i wonder how they would do with a mangonada
This content is pure gold!!! I love these kids' demeanors and the way they are so proper and articulate.
And arrogant.
I loved the two young blond boys! they were appreciative and knew what was up with their favorites lol. they were positive and liked the taffys lol
I will add that while regular Reese's remain popular, it's the Reese's holiday shapes that dominate the holidays. Reese's pumpkins are so much more superior to classic Reese's. Someone needs to send you guys some!
I found bats this year. Not sure if they're new, but they're as good as the pumpkins and trees.
Yes! I always wondered why I liked the shaped ones more, so a few years ago, when I had both kinds, I checked the wrappers for the ingredients. It turned out that I was right: It wasn’t some weird psychological thing; they taste different because they’re made differently! 🤤
@joev2963 I love the bats! They seem to be harder to find than the pumpkins, though. It’s been at least a couple of years since I’ve had them.
I have to disagree. To me, none of the various shapes of Reese's PB treats beats the ratio of the original standard PB cup. It's the perfect filling to chocolate mouthful in each bite. Even the little mini cups aren't as satisfying in my opinion. The slightly thicker fluted chocolate edge with the just enough but not too much pb filling in the middle is perfectly balanced.
@@valerievanwinkle6453
Lol that is exactly why I love the holiday ones , there is so much more peanut butter !
Agree the ratio of peanut butter and chocolate is better in the shapes vs the original
They should have tried kit kats, snickers and sweettarts!! Love those!!! Big hugs from Belinda Greene
KitKats are from the UK and you can find snickers in most countries in the world. Do wish you could get sweettarts here though.
Kit Kat’s are British
To be fair Hershey's isn't the only chocolate in America. We have a wide variety, some more premium than others.
I have read that American chocolate, especially Hershey's, uses a chemical called butyric acid in processing that is also found in vomit, so that's why a lot of Europeans think our American chocolate tastes like vomit. It's supposedly added to increase shelf life of the candy.
@@LynnThompsonAuthor - When I was a kid growing up in the 50's and early 60's, Hershey's was actually good. Not the same anymore, it is garbage, as is most candies made in the U.S.A. They do not use sugar anymore, but use High Fructose Syrup, plus the chemicals.
Also, I think most Americans won't ever touch the stuff except for smores which is really the only way I ever see it advertised!
The only two times I see most people eat Hershey's are when it's included in those Krackel/Goodbar mini-bar mixes and S'mores.
@@sushiroll3795mr goodbar is the best❤
The "expires cheese" comment about the Hershey's chocolate is perfect, because to this day it's made with slightly sour milk, to mimic the original taste before good refrigerated milk trucks. The fact that that key note of sour was immediately obvious is awesome.
These kids are awesome. The twins especially are articulate and witty.
Which one are twins?
@@myspinky couple of blonde young men who look for all the world like they are brothers
I can’t believe you subjected those kids to our chocolate. 😂 I ate bad chocolate until I went to Europe and had Belgium chocolate. There’s no comparison!!
12:49 we also have a candy called Zots, which seem like a normal boiled sweet, but inside, there is tart, sherbet-like powder that becomes foam! They were one of my favorites, when I was young.😜😜😜😃
I still buy them every now and then. The Apple is my favorite.
Love Zots, I order them on line every once in a while...so fun!
Zots and Pop Rocks are so 1970's era, but that tart inside is certainly fit for the sour-n-sweet mania of the 2000's decades and generations.
Zotz!
Great video. Now I can't wait to try the chocolate in England someday. I love these kids. So fun to see their perspective. Such intelligent, funny descriptions and comments. Let's see more 😊
i love the highschoolers series and the fact that they use just the same shool. its now the "JOLLY" school. and the head teacher is a real sport. 10/10 content
Pretty sure the headmaster (Mr. Smith) is an old friend of either Josh's or Ollie's (or both), which is why they've been able to get easier access to film at the school (and film there so frequently). It's been mentioned in videos here and there.
"People give these to kids?!"
Ollie: "We just did"
LOL
Fun fact about candy corn...if you stack each one on top of the other in a circle you get.........an ear of corn ! lol Thus the name candy CORN lol.
You guys left out the #1 Trick-or-Treat winner- candy cigarettes!
My grandfather-in-law loved candy corn, and kept some available at his house all year round. When he died, and my husband inherited his jacket, some candy corn was still in the pocket. It was such a cute little thing. My children remember Grandaddy-great whenever they encounter candy corn.
He's always upstaged by the kids but I love that you include the Principal's reactions in these.
A far as Hershey goes it's simple, and one of the boys got it right: it's cheap.
When you're little and you go camping, someone will bring marshmallows, graham crackers, and a giant, superpack of the cheapest chocolate: Hershey bars.
You make s'mores.
Hershey: it is a nostalgia thing.
It's a melt resistance thing. If you take a bunch of British Cadbury chocolate and put it in the back of a truck and try to drive it across America, by the time you open the bed of that truck it's going to be a congealed mess of chocolate and paper. The places in Europe that are famous for chocolate are all like alpine climates and Britain where the sun shined once in 1964 for two and half hours.
With Hershey's, I think they deliberately made it a "cheap" chocolate so that everyone could afford it. Like they weren't trying to make the best chocolate, but they are the most widely used and renowned chocolate 😂
If the hot tamales were hot for them then they have to try atomic fire balls!

always brings a smile...btw Red Vines are the original strawberry licorice and do not have a plastic texture or chemical taste
I love these kid's reaction/ commentary and it's nice that they were willing to try so many foreign candies. I think we have a lot of candy in America, so it's really not easy to give them one of everything, but that was a humble amount of treats ❤️
These kids are smart and quick witted. They’re so laid back.
