US vs UK Coca-Cola | Food Wars | Food Insider
![Coke VS Coke Zero - Time lapse [4K] (TOP REQUEST)](/img/n.gif)
I'd love to see a behind-the-scenes episode of Food Wars where it's the planning and shopping phase for each episode. I imagine the reaction of the store clerks seeing whomever buying hundreds of dollars worth of a single product would also be funny.
Take my money 😂😂
I would totally watch this.
I thought they bought all their stuff online
Whoever
Oh please
It's not as if I am against the US vs Japan series, but nothing can beat the classic UK vs USA! Harry and Joe forever man!
@Bibi Blue And why are you against that series? Do you hate the Japanese?
@Bibi Blue I mean as long as US vs Japan doesn't completely replace US vs UK, why would you be against more Food Wars content?
Completely agree
B
@@Kagetora- I love how the guy with an anime profile pic immediately jumps in with a defensive “do you hate the Japanese” it’s just so funny
I'd be interested to see an episode on US VS UK Fanta, as they're quite literally two completely different drinks.
Canadian Fanta is the same! I was surprised how artificial the colour was
FANTA! I though it was almost gone from the US...(still in Japan, yes)?
I never hear any Americans talk about Fanta so I automatically see it as a British exclusive drink almost. It's good too
@@triplea5293 i find that interesting, as here in the uk imported american drinks have skyrocketed in popularity - there are many 'american candy' stores in cities now (although apparently quite a lot of these are fronts 😂) and corner shops usually stock imported american soft drinks, the most commonly found brand being fanta. id always assumed that people were big into fanta in the US because of how many varieties there were (grape, pineapple, two varients of apple, strawberry, cherry, mango, grape, peach and that bright blue berry one) - in the uk we just have orange, lemon (goated), fruit twist (a kind of red tropical flavour) and a couple other gimmick no-sugar only flavours that i dont really count. do most american drinks have this many flavours? because i dont understand why they sustain such a large product range if their customer base is shrinking rather than expanding
Look at south african fanta
normally i tend to stick with very specific channels for my reccomended, and food doesn't tend to be one of them. but what i am absolutely fascinated by as a british person is how much diffrent it really is to the US, and that always makes me flock to this channel, because i know most of the people here are probably on the other side of the lake, so seeing it from the less common perspective is always fascinating.
as another Brit myself, same, honestly
also wow you're subbed to a lot of people i'm subbed to-
So if Coca-Cola is the only company legally allowed to import Coca leaf extract then they don't need to hide the recipe. We couldn't make it if we wanted.
perhaps
Wonder what Devvos recipe would be?
salad
salad fingers
Coca leaf isn't the "secret" ingredient... The recipe itself is secret like the formulation for most soft drinks is. They make a big deal of it for marketing reasons.
“I’m so great at pointless things!” is one of the most relatable lines Joe has said to date.
My life 🥇
He’s not wrong
Amen
At least he's honest about it
as someone whos really god at crabwalking i can agree
Fun stuff. Some notes:
- The 35 pack of Coke is sold in all of the bulk stores/clubs, i.e. Sam's Club (walmart), BJs, & Costco; saw them today while out shopping. AFAIK though they don't ship it; gotta actually drive to the store & pick it up. All Coke products come in 35 ct plastic wrapped cardboard bases; all Pepsi products come in 36 ct boxes.
- Re: cocaine; the name "Coca-Cola" actually stands for Coca leaves (cocaine) & Kola nuts (caffeine), so the name actually means "cocaine & caffeine";
- and yes, it originally had cocaine in it, and was made by a pharmacist as a medicinal drink to cure stuff, like drug/alcohol addiction, low energy (lol), and headaches. The recipe was changed significantly when a businessman bought the rights to it & started the company & mass production, with lowered cocaine content; and it was finally removed a few years later.
- Surprised you didn't mention New Coke. In 1985 Coke stopped making Coke & replaced it with "New Coke", which was basically the Diet Coke formula but using sugar instead; b/c they wanted to stop having to deal w/ Coca leaves & cocaine concerns.
- Part of the reason the international Coke tastes so similar is because a lot of the flavor comes from the coca leaves (it's brewed like tea), which is why it has a subtle herbal earthy flavor. As opposed to Pepsi, which just tastes like sugar. Sugar vs HFCS Coke taste really similar, with a slight added flavor; Sugar vs HFCS Pepsi taste radically different, like not even the same drink. Same w/ RC Cola.
- To show the difference between sugar & aspartame concentration; should've picked up J-Ello packets. The regular sugar jello mix fills the whole box & is the size of a hockey puck / baseball; for the sugar free it's like the size of a packet of coffee sweetener.
okay i'm out of useless info
Tbf that 35 pack looked pretty unshippable on its own (too wide but not a lot of height)
@@thecompanioncube4211 yea it's not meant to be shippable; it's designed to be easily make pallets (the big stacked cubes of products moved around by forklifts), and it works really well for that. Pepsi, on the other hand, sells theirs in 36-pack boxes, which are way easier for people to handle. I guess Coke does this b/c it's cheaper to manufacture.
@@lamelama22 The 35 packs come on pallets of 70. Ten layers with 7 packs a layer. Pepsi 36 packs come on pallets of 75. 5 layers with 15 packs a layer. So they're actually shipping less per pallet. I will say though that their packaging is much more durable than the flimsy cardboard that Pepsi uses.
See the Pepsi Food Wars episode for that story. @@thecompanioncube4211
3 liters WERE available quite commonly in the US in the 80s when I was a kid. The problem was they went flat almost as quickly as you opened them. So unless you were having a family reunion, all it did was encourage people (specifically kids at home during the summer) to drink more coke. Most moms I knew stopped buying them outside of special occasions. By the 90s it just seemed more common for all my friends moms to have off brand soda cans in stock for us teenagers/college moochers to drink.
They still exist. I see them at Dollar General and Albertsons here in Dallas
@@noskpain2792 yea, I also see the 24 pack regularly here in Texas
Me too
That point about the safe containing the recipe of “7X” is true. My aunt in Atlanta started working for coke as a secretary in the 60s. She retired about 20 years ago as a VP in the accounting department. Her job was to keep track of the purchasing of the ingredients for their proprietary ingredient “7X”. She is on a lifetime retainer to not reveal those 7 ingredients.
When I was a kid and visiting her, she frequently had cases of “diet drink A”, B C etc that we were encouraged to drink and provide feedback for the development of Coke’s various diet options throughout the years.
thanks for sharing!
What if an employee gets pissed of at the company and he/she revealed the secrets before dying
@@ThatsGoodMoneyy Then big Coca Cola makes them go missing.
Now if a bad coke product is out we can safely blame you LOL.
@@NoneYa42069 well they’ll be dead
this series is carrying food insider at this point
It has been Insider’s MVP for awhile now
Keep saying same thing over and over again to get likes 😆
Stolen comment
@@dragoner3211
This is a pretty basic statement to make
@@maenad1231 and?
in the US we also have a 1L (about 32 oz) and a 3L, in fact 3L USED to be the "main" or "normal" size of the bottles we got at the supermarket, with the 2L being the "small" one, now it IS admittedly hard to find them, but they still exist, in ALL varieties, not just "diet"
They also missed key pack sizes in the U.K.
@@MKRM27 i guess thats why they EVENTUALLY removed the "every" form the title
@2:03, you know, when I was a kid in the 70s, people would have said the same thing about the 2L format, which did not exist in my country. The largest format was 750ml in a glass bottle.
In Ireland, coke comes in 7 sizes: the smallest: half gram, 1 gram, 2 grams, an 8-ball (3.5 grams), a quarter (7 grams), half ounce (14 grams) and our largest size of coke is the full ounce (28 grams).
If you're in business you count in half-key increments.
Thanks John DeLorean
You forgot a brick (1kg/1000g)
Who cares?
Irish baking soda you mean 😂 That country has a serous quality issue
Honestly the acting when he pretended to drink straight whiskey definitely convinced me. If he hadn't admitted it was actually iced tea, I woulda totally believed it. His wince looked just like mine when I actually do drink 😂
ngtl or not to be rude but to be honest harry looks like harry potter and joe looks like Elsa but boy edition plus who's a harry potter fan
There were too many bubbles
@@editz51214 a lot of people are fans of Harry Potter mr zainab khatijah
There were 3 liter bottles available of most soda brands in the U.S.
Coke disappeared in my area earliest, followed by Pepsi. Faygo hung on for several years beyond the big brands.
Coca-Cola Energy is definitely sold in the UK. I used to work in Spar store and we have all Coke energy flavours shown in the video. Can't say they were popular however.
Cause they taste utterly shite 😂
Too many energy drink rivals.
@@julianaylor4351 and they taste like shit as well
Spar tends to sell a lot of American food and drink anyway (at least the one I've been in)
@@triplea5293 I have seen at lot of American food and drinks in ASDA too, but they are owned by Walmart. Whereas Sainsbury's just has a small shelf full in their bigger shops.
You can definitely get cherry vanilla here in the U.K. but mostly from corner stores. My local cinema also has a machine that pours cherry Vanilla Coke. Most Burger King’s here also do it. The Coke energy drinks are also here in some stores!
Yeah they didn't do any research at all.
I've tried both the normal and cherry versons of the Energy drinks and I they taste so bad 💀💀💀
Can get it here in Ireland it’s £1.50 for a 330ml can
If you looked properly it's Coke Zero Cherry Vanilla not regular Coke.
yup, and we used to have all the energy ones as well, the cola energy was a big hit in the uk, but was pulled
So I'm not an expert on patent law, but from what I've read the reason why Coke keeps their recipe secret is because patent law requires the details to be made public and is only in effect for 20 years until it expires and allows anyone to use it. Case in point, drug companies will patent a drug and make tons of money off it, but after the patent expires the company will lose out to generic store brand varieties of the same drug. Whereas, if the recipe remains a trade secret, it can remain the property of Coca Cola forever.
Also, I believe there was an incident in 2006 where a group of people working for Coke did steal the recipe and attempted to sell it to Pepsi, but Pepsi refused to take it and called the cops to arrest them.
Sorta right - when patent and copyright law was written; food and drink recipes were intentionally left out. You can't patent, copyright, or legally protect a recipe or list of food ingredients. The only protection is secrecy, and the little known legal aspect of 'trade secrets'.
@@GlenAndFriendsCooking Just kind of mind-boggling that it's legal to keep the recipe for something they expect their consumers to put in their bodies and can just be written off as a "trade secret".
@@OoMikkioO Don't drink it then, ez.
even tho they’re business competitors they still ain’t gonna steal each others recipe
@@MrPcgamer1999 yes let’s take us back to the Victorian times where bread was adulterated with Alum 😂
2:26 I was in Austin Texas in 2022, and there was a 3 liter bottle available at the Walmart down there, along with other coke a coal products like sprite Diet Coke, and other.
I'm 49 y.o.
I distinctly remember 3 liter bottles.
You can still find them from Coke competitors, if you know where to look
For those interested: the empty whiskey bottle Joe used was Bulleit Rye, and it does in fact mix very well with the smoky coke cocktail thing. The spice of the rye with added smoke and vanilla notes from the coke product and/or a hint of Disarrono (if you’re a recipe purist) is great but you can also add 2oz each of Bulleit and Smoky Coke and finish with soda water and still make a lovely cocktail which is what I did when I tried at home.
Conversely, anyone who tries to tarnish the good name of Jack and Coke with a Comfort and Cola deserves a stern talking to. Hopefully they swapped bottles on both, because SoCo isn't just "not a TN Whiskey"... it's not whiskey at all. It's a liqueur. Like Kahlua, or Cointreau.
Not gonna lie, the "supermarket not the country" line made me laugh :)
When we lost to Iceland at the football my Irish mate got a Iceland "supermarket" staff jacket from somewhere and kept showing up wearing it.
@@OrriTheFox 🤣🤣Almost as bad as the Scots he is.
@@kanedaku That's actually hilarious though, unlike most Scots when it comes to sports
Fun fact: Iceland supermarkets actually tried to get an EU trademark for the name, and representatives of the country had to show up in court to fight it. The balls of that attempt always made me laugh
I had Cherry vanilla the other day, you can now get this flavour over here. It was sold in an independent shop though and wasn't cheap either
The 3l exists here in Uruguay, but not sugar free, the original flavor. They usually offer those around Christmas time, where you’re for sure going to be with family.
The cherry energy version was (maybe still is?) available here in England. It’s nice.
Regular Coca-Cola energy is sold in The Netherlands. Also, other flavors like the coffee ones can easely be bought online.
I’ve had every Coca Cola energy in the uk
We definitely had orange coke for a little while too, I remember buying it quite a lot
They sell well as they don’t contain tourine which is very harmful
I also remember having Diet Coke Mango from Tesco also Coke Zero Cherry
With products that supposedly have this mysterious "secret recipe" thing that apparently only a few people know. I always wonder how they manage to sell a product for consumption that doesn't include a comprehensive list of ingredients. I didn't think that was at all legal for allergy and transparency reasons.
Alot of labels don't include full list of ingredients. Some times to hide underdosed ingredients but still be able to claim they have its a real problem in the fitness industry
Typically they will disclose ingredients but not the specific amounts or cooking methods.
Its not so much an issue of ingredients more so as it is amount and production process. Allergy related things like nuts and such they are forced to label. Also with a bit of research you can find FDA lists that may not show you all the exact ingredients, but you can find a list of all the stuff thats classified under things like "Natural flavors".
Lies again? Childhood Memory Junkie Insulin
Thats why I don't drink this stuff
Tesco Extra in the UK sell Cocacola red (full coke) cans in a 48 pack.
Also UK vending machines do a full red Coke can, in the slender / slim taller can 500ml and the 250ml stubby plastic bottle.
Coke coffee available in the UK, I had one last month.
Also you can buy in Tesco and Morrisons in the UK Caffine free red full fat in large bottle. Made by CC GB.
Also the Coke Energy cans you can get in the UK in cherry, berry and orange, made by CC GB, as they going against Red Bull.
As a side note, CC GB owns Costa Coffee, Monster Drinks and Inicents Drinks (being used as a rebranded Orange and Apple Minute Maid ).
You also in the UK can order a name printed coke bottle label. It was stopped as lots of people ordered them with very rude names. So now every so often pre printed ones on bottles are available in the UK shops with basic names like mum dad granny grandad, and some basic male female names, plus seasonal names ones like Santa.
Some creators on UA-cam (like Jolly) have recreated the original Coke recipe & it seems to taste pretty much identical to today's version. Quite interesting what coke flavor is actually composed of, it's pretty complex.
As did Glenn and Friends
@@axeavier Squozen Cola™!
Cocaine
I’d also like to promote a UA-camr who tried to replicate it, Ann Reardon. I think she got pretty close but with less sugar.
@@axeavier Yeah I hear that guy did it first?
Lmfaoooo “somewhere in America there’s 35 packs it I keep getting sent roughly 35 cans of soda so Ty for that” lmao another great video
3 liter bottles are more common for certain off brand sodas. However, a small number of stores might sell brand-name bottles in that size.
Something you didn't mention is aspartame can also flair up asthma so I've got to be careful when I drink any sort of pop. The best way I miss it, is by not drinking pop :)
There is no actual scientific link between aspartame and asthma
@@MKRM27 I was told by my GP
Nobody cares
Interesting, I got asthma a d used to drink tons of Coke zero. I quit drinking soda now though
Actually, at least where I go in the UK, you can get cherry vanilla regular coke in a 330ml can. I get mine at a corner shop/convenience store where they also sell some American sweets/candy and drinks like calypso. It tastes brilliant.
I've also had caffine free coke
Can we? I've seen Coke Zero cherry and Coke Zero vanilla in UK shops but the only time I've had cherry vanilla was in the Coke Freestyle machine at Five Guys (and briefly Nando's)
Calypso is the best lemonade at the gas station. Do you guys get Arizona teas? Or their cocktails? And if you do how much are they? We get em for 99cents
@Mystic Ja Crispy same
@@Spabsa there’s calypso drinks where they sell American drinks like at sweet shops or some corner shops
I used to buy the Coke Life. It comes in a green can and it's sweetened with cane sugar and stevia. I liked it better than the original Coke.
Me too but for some reason they stopped selling it. It had almost no suger but tasted much closer to the proper thing than coke diet/zero.
yeah that was actually good for a regular coke drinker. At least they didnt get rid of original coke. Thankfully BARR have released limited edition glass bottles of their full sugar Irn BRU sodas!
Yep
I loved coke life, it tasted better and made me feel healthier than just having a coke
@@BlatentlyFakeName Probably because it cost more to make it... our country was already killing itself before Covid arrived. People should be banned from drinking products like Coke instead of quarantining with they get Covid. Obesity kills WAY more people over a long period of time.
You can bet your ass too the numbers spiked when they asked people to stay home roughly 2 years ago.
Here in the states we even have Coca Cola Freestyle machines at many fastfood joints. The soda fountain allows you to customize your soda or cola you want with a bunch of flavors like cherry, lime, orange, vanilla and more 😉👍
We now have coca-cola that is fruity flavoured in the UK, it is called 'marshmallow' coke (after the dj, it's not marshmallow favoured).
I think we also had 'Coke Life' at one point.
Fun fact, in the UK they recently expanded their caffine free range to include coke zero too
Probably to compete with caffeine free Pepsi max.
I only buy caffeine free & sugar free now. 7up do both in original & cherry too.
So what exactly are you getting for your money if there's no sugar and no caffeine in the coke...? Brown water?
And is it considerably cheaper than coke with sugar and caffeine?
@@MKR5210 Coke. It tastes no different. If you want caffeine, have an espresso or some Red Bull. What sort of lightweight gets a caffeine high after coke lol
@@HydroSnips me lol. im hyper sensitive to caffeine
harry going through an existential crisis while mixing the coffee and coke is a whole mood
Fun Fact: At 2:50 2 of those numbers are used on the F1 grid as of 2021
We used to have normal caffeine-free coke in the UK. But wasn't popular. Also I've seen coke coffee in the UK again it sold poorly. The costa coffee and coke are a new team up of really coca-cola getting into the market of cold coffee's that are popular in the UK.
I was a weekend merchandiser for Pepsi back in 03 and I remember stocking the 3L bottles and building displays from the 24 pack "cubes." Also, diet weighs less than regular because aspartame isn't as dense as corn syrup. You can really feel the difference when pulling a pallet of it. People thought I was joking when I said that the diet is actually lighter.
I did actually find caffeine free Coca-Cola at my local Sainsbury's in the UK once, but those variants were Diet Coke and Coke Zero.
I actually quite like the coke zero version
Used to come with a gold label
@@lifeofnaira2022still does sold in asda
The Orange Vanilla is honestly the best flavour there is. They ran it as a limited time thing where I live in Canada and it's soooo good.
I did like that I wish they still sold it. In America last time I saw it was like 2019
I haven’t drank coke in years, watching this makes me crave it 😅
As a prior Coca-Cola merchandiser in the US. The only times I’ve come across a 35 can packaging is in bulk stores. Like Sams club and BJ’s warehouse. Which wasn’t limited to the original flavor. They had sprite, Diet Coke, Fanta etc. Even some brands that had contracts with Coca-Cola bottling company United had bulk packaging/variety packs. Like Monster, Powerade, body armor etc.
I saw an actual person in coca cola uniform putting loads of coke in the drinks fridge at Tesco. I just thought Tesco got them shipped and they stock them themselves
There is a readily available 30 pack of cans of Coke Zero in the UK. 24 cans is not the largest.
We also have the Coke Energy cans in the UK. There are a lot of things on the latest UK vs US Food Wars that aren't 100% accurate. Still love the show but little details!
yep, just bought some a couple days ago! Think they meant regualar Coke though
They probably meant the classic coke in that instance again. Eventually they did stop bringing up coke zero
Shockingly poor research on this video, so many items missed.
10:23 You actually can’t get Orange Vanilla Coke in bottle or can in the US anymore. Only in Coke Freestyle.
We can/were able to get cherry vanilla in the uk and Energy cica cola and both were/may still be at (Tesco). They may have been as an exclusive timed period offers but they were sold in the uk.
Custom bottles were available for a short amount of time in the UK around 2014. I still have my ones that I ordered online.
I cannot believe uk outdoes USA when it comes to bottled coke. That is hilarious.
I was watching a show here in uk few years back where chefs re- created brand products and weirdest thing when they did coke was they put LAVENDER in the coke mix. I’d never have guessed cola included lavender.
If it does, that's news to me. Mainly because I drink a ridiculous amount of coke and haven't had an allergic reaction. I'm severely allergic to lavender.
My guess is that the re-creators got the recipe wrong.
@@Taleri he added it in after it didn’t taste quite right. But I suppose it may be an extract used rather than the whole flower. You may be allergic to specific parts like pollen or specific chemicals and if those were removed before they add in an oil then people may not have a reaction is also possible? I just remember lavender oil or extract being added. I cannot stand most things with lavender in. Tasted like soap to me (same with rose) But due to the way he made it you couldn’t taste it.
America used to sell 3L of Coke original.. Also we have bigger glass bottles. My city is home to the original Coke bottling plant
@@HBC423 they still sell 3L regular coke in Texas
@@Taleri I did a double check on Coca-Colas formula and it does indeed include lavender oil. Maybe the quantities are sooooooo low that it doesn’t effect you? I have a milk allergy(I’m lactose intolerant) but can withstand trace amounts of lactose it may be the same for you if the trace amounts of lavender are small enough. I checked out several sites and they all say lavender oil is included in Coca-Cola.
3L bottles of Coca-Cola used to be incredibly common in the US, or at least in the Southwest where I grew up.
One of my favorite drinks to make is cola + espresso. Or cola + Kahlua, which is similar although a *lot* sweeter (and alcoholic).
You missed some UK package sizes. Where is the 1.75L Bottle? That’s the main grocery pack! Sells in HUGE volume. There’s also a glass bottle 330ml.
I love those Coke Coffees so much!
Hey 👋 joe.
eww
It seems Coke Energy was only discontinued in the US, looks like you'll have to come over here if you want to keep binging them Joe aha
Me too! The vanilla flavored is the best 👌
Years ago they had Coke Black which was coke and coffee in the glass bottles. I really liked them but they were hard to find and shortly discontinued. Coke and coffee is really good with Oreos.
Unfortunately there is a slight mistake when it comes to coca-cola energy in this video it can still be found in cherry, original and the diet versions in a lot of uk newsagents and possibly even co-ops.
It's the zero sugar cherry flavour that's exclusive to the US. Joe pointed out that we have the other flavours as well
Also I feel like every corner shop in London has cherry vanilla cans 🤣
Joe said they're phasing out Coke Energy WTF... that's literally the only Coke you can drink w/o feeling guilty about it!!
The Zero Sugar in particular uses sucralose instead of aspartame, which tastes better. I LOVE that shit!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING COCA-COLA????
Mexican vs US/UK shows a factor on what we are used.
Mex uses Sugar, UK/US use HFCS.
Spanish is also with Sugar, that was by far the best version of it for me so far.
I tend to have bad reaction to HFCS (sweating, headache), so I am quite picky there.
Mexican coke is in all the stores here in Texas, it is quite popular.. Especially with older people like me who grew up with all American soft drinks using cane auger before they all switched to corn syrup. I didn't drink soft drinks for decades after the switch.. Thank goodness for Mexican coke.. You can also get cane sugar coke around the Jewish holiday of Passover, you can recognize it at the store as the bottles have a yellow cap.. I guess corn syrup isn't kosher.
Actually in the United States there's also the 1 L bottle too. Additionally I have seen even smaller Coke products and a few others add some of the stores that I shop at so I think that's probably the standard range of what you find but I believe that there are other sizes of the product on some store shelves.
I am assuming that they didn’t go digging as deep As I have. Ignoring the new 13.2 oz “sipsized” bottle, there is a 16 oz can, a 12 oz tall can, a 24 oz bottle, a 1.5 liter bottle, a 16.9 oz can, a 16 oz bottle, a 16 oz stubby bottle (sold in packs of 6), a 3 litter bottle, which does exist, a 1l bottle, a 16 oz can and many more.
Joe, the 3 liter of coke is available at my local carniceria. I get it whenever I pick up dinner there. The 3 liter isn't *that* hard to find in the US. And the 35 pack of coke is available at Costco.
That is what I thought. It was either in a warehouse store (Costco/BJs) or for commercial purposes only..
They are also sold at Sam's Club
Right I was thinking that, and they also have 1L sizes at Dollar General
12:30 they also just released a mocha version of the coke with coffee a little while ago and its pretty good
In the UK, recently they've done limited edition Intergalactic Coke and Marshmello Coke (The Musician) flavoured with strawberry+watermelon
u did the tests with warm coke, brilliant!
“from calorie count to portion sizes” always makes my day
The Manga/Anime Dr Stone showed a way to make cola at home.
Also my fave flavour is vanilla cola. Not the zero (it leaves a slightly unpleasant aftertaste) the regular full sugar version that you cam only get on certain websites now in the UK
Only got as far as the first taste test, but another factor not, well, factored in was the flavour inducing container
Plastic, metal, and glass vessels all impart different flavours - even with a liquid made from a common recipe
_For it is known, Jon Snow_
I love the editing teams job on yhese
Im actually impressed by the fact that the US doesn’t have the 3L regular coke since here in LATAM (pretty sure some other parts of the world too) have it until today
Edit: Yeah... maybe they didn't or couldn't search well
most countries have 2.25 litre bottle
we used to have them in the UK, but i haven't seen any since the Sugar Tax started.
There are 3Ls at HEB in Texas and Walgreens in Florida. Plus many other places. He didn't try very hard.
i live in southern texas and you can find 3 liter bottles of coca cola in some stores
I am assuming that they didn’t go digging as deep As I have. Ignoring the new 13.2 oz “sipsized” bottle, there is a 16 oz can, a 12 oz tall can, a 24 oz bottle, a 1.5 liter bottle, a 16.9 oz can, a 16 oz bottle, a 16 oz stubby bottle (sold in packs of 6), a 3 litter bottle, which does exist, and many more.
I went to a club in China where they served a delicious drink that was steaming hot Coke with fresh ginger. Sounds weird, but it was really good.
Cokid-19 origin
not entirely weird, me and my old man like mixing ginger beer and coke together which tastes great, albeit not being hot its pretty much the same thing
10:48
“I’m not a smart man, Joe-ay.”
British Forest Gump (I guess it would be something like Gumpington)?
Just a bit of info you can actually buy a 30 pack can in the shop known as kosco which is the uk equivalent to Walmart.
I'd like to point out that in the UK the largest multipack of cans that I have seen is actually a 30 pack of 330ml cans. I just bought one over the weekend at my local Costco.
It isn't an American 30 pack as they don't drink 330ml cans. They drink 12oz/355ml cans.
Yeh, I get the 30 packs from Costco, ironically an American company (gotta love the Kirkland brand!)
I've seen them in waitrose too
They're on Amazon too, I bought a 30 pack Diet Coke earlier this year.
I haven't seen 30 packs, but I guess I don't go to Costco.
There’s costco in the uk?
The best coke i ever tasted was in morocco, from what someone told me it contained like 50% more sugar than the stuff we get in the uk. I went to the US in 2014 and from what i remember it didnt taste that different
I believe that because in that region (Western Sahara) well we carry home 1kg sugar bags from a uk supermarket and it can last us a month perhaps?
In that region I saw them carrying home a sack of sugar. I think it was 5 kg on the shoulder, but could have been more . They think nothing of slinging on their shoulder and walking up a few dunes in 50c + heat . No matter if there’s a sandstorm sugar is essential,it appears to be as essential as bread is to the Brits 😂
Sugar is cheap cheaper than it is here . Because there is poverty yet if you tell your neighbour you have no sugar they will buy you a sack ;) . They use most of it for drinking copious amounts of green tea &mint infusions with a masses of sugar . It tastes good I admit but it’s sooooooo sweet, too sweet for me
We 100% did have Coca-cola Coffee in the UK aswell, I'm not sure if it's still a thing, but I remember having some around a year ago.
Wow, I didnt know they could make a 18 minute long video just on coke🤣🤣, btw loved it❤
15:08 sorry for being a pedant, but Southern Comfort is NOT a Tennessee whiskey. In fact, it's not even considered a whiskey at all, it's pretty much a vodka that's been flavored to taste similar to whiskey.
I have bought cherry Vanilla Coke in the uk, as I thought it was weird when I saw it. And we do have a caffeine free Coke as well as caffeine free Diet Coke. And I have had the Coke energy zero sugar in the uk too. Huh. My local corner shop sells them lol. Not keen on them however. Never seen or had Coke coffee though, or the signature bottled ones.
Waitrose do the Signature Mix Coke and the Coke Energy, but only on large supermarket branches.
I also remember having Diet Coke Mango from Tesco also Coke Zero Cherry.
@@AshrakAhmed I used to get Coke Energy at Waitrose and very occasionally Sainsbury's, but I think it's been discontinued in the UK. It crossed my mind recently that I haven't seen it in forever and nowhere seems to be stocking it, not even the dodgy Asian minimarts that have everything.
Where have you purchased cherry Vanilla Coke in the U.K.? It is only available in freestyle machines in fast food restaurants
Might be newer but I found a 30 can pack for £9 in a B&M when I was at work. Whereas I got a 24 pack for £10 something in a Tesco, both of them located around the same area.
I know that coke tastes sweeter in SW Ontario but it isn’t as sweet in Eastern Ontario.
Coke was used in a children’s hospital to settle stomachs after surgery. I had my tonsils out at this hospital and there were cases of coke stacked up to the ceiling along with ginger ale.
In Canada you could buy bottles of coke with names on them.
As another eating channel I can truly say that Food Insider's videos are most enjoyable and entertaining to watch. Deep relaxation is guaranteed! 💖
Merry christmas everyone! 🎅 😈
Over here in Mexico we have 2.5 and 3 liters bottles of Coca Cola, also, for whatever reason, we have both 500ml and 600ml bottles as well
I didn’t know about energy coke ! Nice to know as I use coke caffeine to drive and stay alert ! Gonna switch to energy coke.
Someone once told me that the sugared version in the UK is heavier than the diet version. They told me that they could only load 25 pallets of sugary coke but if they were loading the diet version then they could load 26 pallets on a very large lorry.
Drink Wars!! Any other beverages you want us to compare?

Here in NZ we had a ginger coke speciality type and I loved it, I miss that flavor! I have go do glass bottle or vanilla coke instead
Looking foward to when you review fanta.. esp orange fanta uk vs us
There’s actually a size that you missed in this video: the 16 oz. can. Thing is, I’ve only seen it sold in gas station convenience stores, so I don’t blame you for missing it.
There are quite a few packs sizes they missed from US and U.K.

I am from the UK and all of my local newsagents sell these, and have been for a few years. I am not sure if it's just a regional thing on my part but I can get those pretty easily.
I do remember that in the mid 80's to at least the mid 90's, there were 3 liter bottles of soft drink available in the US.
There are some 3 liter sodas out there, just hard to find, Save A Lot food stores tend to have them and I *THINK* Faygo has 3 liter options as well.
In the UK we had 3L regular coke in the early to mid 90s too
1:11 well that’s a first!
*Cries in American*
i commented on the mtn dew talking about costco and price and can size, well costco also has the 35 can pack, its 17 usd and is the normal 12 fl oz (355ml) cans
I live in Winnipeg, Canada. The largest pack of coke I can get is a 32(4x8) pack from Costco only, everywhere else only sells 24 packs as their largest size.
This year they also released a Quebec Maple and British Columbia Raspberry flavour coke in glass bottles, the Raspberry one is absolutely fantastic while the Maple one is disappointing, it's like mixing Maple Crown Royal and coke without the added benefit of getting drunk.
The largest UK pack is a 30 can box from Costco. They haven't researched this very well
Lmao the Cherry Vanilla “TM” part had me cracking up 😂😂😂
My mum works for coke (European partners), and she gets to try exclusive special coke flavours that aren’t sold anywhere else in the world beside from coca-cola employees in the UK and the US.
Good for her. Who cares?
@@themetalhead1463who cares about you? Right, no one
We use to have 3 liter sodas all over the place here in South Texas.
OMG that was amazing. I I love Coke, ok, I said it. I sneak it in whenever possible, always in moderation. Seeing these two comedians and their candid reactions and jest, was simply spot on! I laughed out loud several times. I need a coke now. Subscribed.
12:43 name a more iconic duo
I love both highballs and the mix between coke and Costa coffee, good grief.
The problem with the UK is big stores like Asda tesco etc sell the main sellers but if you go to your local shop or Heron/B&M they have a ton of different flavours
Joe's "highball" ! I love this guy!
More Beverage Food Wars Needed
I don't usually drink Coke but this was fascinating.
Nobody cares
