Jaffa cakes by law is a cake. There was a court case in the high court because they wanted to prove they were a cake so tax did not need to be paid as cakes are tax free. It was determined they were a cake as cakes start off soft and go hard when stale whereas biscuits start off hard and go soft when stale.

[SNMG]

As far as I'm aware Prawn Cocktail things don't generally taste fishy, they're flavoured to taste like the cocktail sauce, not the seafood bit.

[harleystubbs]

We sometimes call them cookies for example when they are chocolate chip cookies but we call things like chocolate digestives biscuits, obviously it varies which part of the uk you’re from or if you are from america for example but live in the uk

[jew-wheelsvanderburg]

Sorry but as a publican i can tell you a snakebite is just lager and cider if you add blackcurrant it becomes a snakebite and black 2 totally different drinks

[bobfromthebell]

A snakebite is lager and cider. Adding blackcurrant to it makes it into a drink called a “diesel”

[himarkburdett]

In UK lockdown I got addicted to all the stuff you were trying and gained 85lb in 7 months

[vickytaylor]

Prawn cocktail flavour is just the sauce flavour no prawn. It is tomato ketchup, mayo and Worcestershire sauce mixed together.

[kutluol]

There is no fake orange orange in the Jaffa cake, the jelly is made with real orange Uk we have natural ingredients unlike the us.

[luketrott]

Pickled onion monster munch are the best 👌

[joshhall]

A snack bite is just cider and beer it becomes a drink called diesel when you add blackcurrant juice

[robertwalters]

The biscuits are for dunking in tea or coffee

[beyondlondon]

What could have been a great video- because you had such an excellent selection of quintessentially British treats, was ruined by the constant sniffing (became quite creepy after a while) and snobbery. It should be fun but you made it really unappetising, clinical and weird.

DRINK COMMENT: ( this is probably long as hell) So, as a british person who has tried most of these things this is my comment, probably crying in pain or happy, Ribena: "Ribena, this is the blackcurrant flavour" makes me cry because ribena isnt good at making any other flavour except black current so personally if somebody said Ribena id know its black current. So, I agree with the review, but personally would buy it at a shop because its a classic and definetly agree with quite watered down, its a sort of mix sometimes, (fun fact by the way: alot of brits where I live, we use warmed up ribena as stuff like a drink if we have a bad cough, or just a winter drink. Lucozade: a personal fav of all flavours - agree with everything, orange is not my favourite original is the best, and err another fun fact: we also use original lucozade for colds, sick, sore throat, headache etc. again where I live, more common in children for lucozade, adults will usually drink ribena instead (DO NOT WARM LUCOZADE IF YOUR USING IT WHILE SICK)

[BigC]

Yeah the viennese whirls are shortbread cookies

[olinkabawseladie]

You should have tried dandelion and burdock, sparkling vimto, ribena and irn-bru. chocolate- double decker, crunchie, boost, maltesers, after eight thins. Biscuits- Jammy dodgers, wagon wheel, hobnobs.

[craiggill]

You forgot to try Kit Kats And Terrys Chocolate Orange.. and Wotsits or Crunchy Wotsits or Quavers plus Skips 👍😎

[svennie]

I'm sorry what? 'Lucozade so originally this is actually made for housewives when they first appeared in the 50s or something!'.
Lucozade started out as 'Glucozade' back in 1927. A doctor in Newcastle asked a pharmacist to make a glucose drink to give patients as glucose is more easily processed in the body of the sugars. The pharmacist invented a water and glucose drink, adding a flavour. Soon, his own sons started drinking it and it became more popular as a drink in it's own right, eventually demand outstripped production and another company was asked to make in on their behalf. This company dropped the letter 'g' and it became Lucozade.
Up until the late 80s, Lucozade was the drink you took into hospitals to give friends who were ill, or indeed if you were ill at home.
But the late 80s the company steered more into the recreational soft drink area more and more leaving the drinks, even the 'original' tasting very different to what it was.
In some ways Lucozade was one of the very first (non caffeine) energy drinks.
Lucozade pre-dates Fanta by 13 years and Gatorade by 38 years.

[vickytaylor]

It’s pronounced borbon, not bourbon, and it is named after the type of vanilla pod used for the flavour.

[JAYY.GUNNS.]

Hi just to let yk the brown hula hoops do have flavour it's just that sometimes they don't but shake the bag and the flavour will get on the crisps aka chips
