Pontefract Cakes, Wine Gums, Polo Mints, Liquorice Allsorts, Lemon Drops, Murray Mints. So many British snacks, sweets that are unique to the U.K., not certain many of these are.
the absolute worst in so many ways Halloween candy in a British supermarket I've ever seen was a replica blood bag filled with red sugar syrup can you imagine trying to get them to bed after that
I've never had smog balls, but as soon as I saw they were made by the same company that makes Toxic Waste I was immediately flung back 15 years to high school when a piece of that put me on my knees. Just by thinking about them I can taste it still xD
Many of the snacks are aimed at kids so are more fruity than sugary sweet. We tend to use natural flavors, colourings and sweeteners, mainly based around fruit and veg
Monster Munch and most Cadbury products are popular in the UK. Twiglets are like 'Marmite' in many ways i.e. they are both made from/coated in yeast extract, and people tend to either like/love them or hate them. Fry's Turkish Delight is the 'Marmite' or 'Twiglets' of the confectionary world in the UK i.e. they either love or hate it, and it's liked more by the elderly. The best flavour of Nik Naks are 'Rib n Saucy' though I also like the 'Scampi & Lemon' flavour, though I've got a feeling you guys might pass on those. 😉 Lastly a Wispa is so much better if it has been in the refrigerator for a bit. It's more solid/has more bite, which combines well with it being 'airy'.
@@BoringReviews Yep it was kinda wrapped like a firework, hence the fountain thing. Just don't use a spoon. If you thought that cinnamon challenge was bad, it comes in close. 😉
Monster Munch are aimed at kids, so they will be spicy for them, but not so much for an adult. I don't know, but I have a feeling that Santa Hand might send something nearer to Christmas. Gabe The Grinch might even get something.
Don't forget British Sweets/Candies are Natural Ingredients and Flavourings. The American versions are Substitutes, Colourings, Flavourings and Chemicals. You are so used to all the Fake stuff that the real things you don't usually like.
Maize (/meɪz/ MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taino: mahis[2]), also known as corn in North American and Australian English, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. Wikipedia.
Jodi, I am glad that you want to try more UK stuff, but also disappointed you didn't trick Gabe into eating the Twiglets. If you want my suggestions for UK soda to try, I would say Dandelion & Burdock (it's basically the UK's root beer, but not similar in taste), Vimto, Irn Bru and Ribena. Ribena & Vimto are usually sold in a bottle of concentrate that you put about 1/4 of an inch in a glass and add water to, but they do come in cans too. Shandy is a very popular drink, but it is 0.5% alcohol.
@@Jodi_BoringReviews I would caution you about UK lemonade though. Most stuff that is called lemonade here is basically something like Sprite or 7-Up. You need to look out for something called "Cloudy Lemonade" or Traditional Style to get something more similar to what you are expecting.
That may be true where you are from but not here. I get what you are saying but here, spicy means hot when it comes to food. Here people usually say this sauce has several different spices in it if it is that kind of spicy. But to each their own
@@BoringReviews Not just where I'm from !

Cheating? Those ones are part of the heroes collection but we never knew that as if recording this one. We found that out a year later when we visited the country. These were all sent to us by other people from England
If you want to be truly scared then let Gabe stand outside the window while trying them. I don't think those Smog Balls are from the UK though judging by the spelling of the word "center".
@@Jodi_BoringReviews Always happy to help. Please let me know if there is a certain flavor or type of product and I'll let you know if there is something like it. P.S We established on the livestream today that Gabe is now known as Dinky Decker. Never let him forget that.
Halloween is what we used to call Mischeavous night when i was a kid, and still do in places in the north of England, i'm 70 now, trick or treating is an import from your side of the pond for maybe the last 15 to 20 years, we used to go around tieing door handles to dustbins (trash) and then knock on door or put vaseline on door handles and stick drawing pins in the vaseline so they would prick the fingers of people that opened the door, all good fun, would probably get shot in the US, just get a bollocking here. Kids Sweets and strangers at night, don't go together for me.
“Would probably get shot in the USA for that” it’s not like that here. No matter what the perception is. Is there someone in this country that would shoot a gun over that? Possibly but it would be a shock. Interesting about your experience though in the UK for Mischievous day. It’s cool to hear that trick or treating has become a thing there.

When I was a kid. When the ice cream van turned up. A 99 dipped in the rainbow drops nice.
Rainbow drops are great with milk
Great to see you guys enjoying British Candy :) I am aware Jody has English blood in her. Boo is looking so "Candy"licious. Love Nick's jersey too.

The sherbert I used to have in the UK and NZ was in a small paper bag, with a black licorice straw. You suck up the sherbert and then eat the straw.
Your thinking sherbet fountain.
Whatever it is sounds awesome
@@BoringReviews Yep it was kinda wrapped like a firework, hence the fountain thing. Just don't use a spoon. If you thought that cinnamon challenge was bad, it comes in close. 😉
@@BoringReviews I didn't know that you liked black licorice. Most Americans seem to hate it.
I am one of those Americans who hate black and red licorice….
The UK has to thank the internet for the props it's recieving. Pre Worldwide web we knew America but they never knew us.
We dip Kit Kats in tea or coffee.

Double decker call those mini bars "dinky" meaning small or tiny
The spread you were talking about is Marmite you have it on toast or bread with butter and it's amazing.
Did dabs have been around for so long it's unreal.

It's Halloween candy for kids.the stranger the better,adults pallets are to mature and set in their ways when it comes to tast,also optics.
Best flavour of Nik Naks by far are the "Rib N Saucy" flavour.
Twiglets are a snack for beer x
Jodi it's still a kitkat 🤣🤣😅😆

Jodi really dosen't like snacks 😆🤣
fudge is kinda bland... but 1? what was so bad about it?
I wish Americans grew up eating our Cadbury America mocked their citizens with fake chocolate smh it's so unfortunate
The nik nak rhyme that you started to say is offensive to Irish people as it basically tells you to hit someone who is Irish.
Spicey does not mean it is hot it means it contains spices e.g nutmeg is a spice and cinnamon is a spice !

At least the 🐫 balls were not salty 🥴
Panda bubblegum flavour drink.
The Nik Naks aren't 'supposed to be corn', they're MADE from corn!! 🙄
Who sent the Americans their own oreos
Ribena needs diluting but yummy
They're cheating, most I've never heard of, the fudge, dinky decker, wispa etc are part of the multipack Heroes.

@@BoringReviews Pulling your leg about shooting the kids.
may sayyou saying that they taste like your American candy's that we have no clue , please just say if you like them and just say what they taste like
We just compare it to let you know that we have something similar.
Twiglets suck as does marmite
Nobody loves Twiglets.
Good to know.
They used to make tangy Twigglets 'Worcester sauce flavoured' but they discontinued them, they were my favourite snack ever.
Of course people love twiglets 😂
please don't do that with the teeth you looked like Donny and Marie
I used to know someone who would crush up the white love hearts and put them in coke
