Australian law states that all ingredients used in consumable products MUST be avalible for the sake of consumer choice, food allergies and medical reasons. They even specify how they must be written, listed, how to display and how easily avalible it is to find. It's a shame the US doesn't have something similar.

[@user-et6pj4db9s]

Yeah well, what do you expect? American health standards are so poor they don't take that stuff seriously, probably because they're using chemicals that would get them in trouble if they were forced to list them, America runs on being cheap and producing chemical garbage. It has no interest in being transparent about ingredients, even the medical sector seems to be all about pushing and making money from medication. It's an absolute disgrace but it's what America is about, profit and nothing else.

@@user-et6pj4db9s all businesses including takeaway, charities must provide some kind of information by FSANZ code regarding their ingredients (will range from a ingredients list, allergens, alternatives). But definitely fast food restaurants put their ingredients on their website to ease of use and to simplify packaging. It must be a list of all ingredients used and are ordered depending on weight or amount in the product.

yes Australians call chicken sandwiches chicken burgers. we refer to pretty much anything on a burger bun as a 'burger'. it'd only be a chicken sandwich if it were on regular bread. so when we say chicken burger we don't always mean like a ground up chicken pattie or a big chicken nugget like the mcchicken, we mean any other kind of chicken sandwich served on a burger bun as well like as Americans would typically call a 'chicken sandwich'. The only possible exception would be like roast or rotisserie chicken chopped up and then put onto a burger bun... that wouldn't be something you'd typically find in Australia... but we'd probably call that a sandwich despite the burger bun. Not sure why, but I think that'd be the case.

Just incase you're curious, yes... we did used to have Chicken Fries in Hungry Jack's. Unfortunately, it was one of those limited time exclusives. So yeah, I definitely missed them so dearly. I love Hungry Jack's. The primary school I went to down here in Tassie [Tasmania] was literally across the road from it and I used to go there when I have some money or for some dinner. I remember having a birthday party there as a kid and yes, they used to have paper crowns. OK, let's be real... I live in Launceston or what we like to nickname Launnie. Been living there for 2 decades now. I don't really go there as much now but I do tend to order a delivery from there occasionally. Also, my birthday parties are no longer interesting now as an adult. It feels so crazy that this was all nearly 2 decades ago. Being 25 makes me feel old now and my life was in shambles during my teenage and young adult years. I lost both my parents growing up too. Thankfully I am moving on and I'm calling 2024 the "Year of New Chapter". I am thinking about doing things that I used to do as a teenager, that being going out and walking at parks, reading and borrowing books from the library, checking out the museum and art gallery. I got a life ahead of me, I should focus on making me feel happy without staring at a screen. I might have to make my Weekends and Mondays a little more interesting.

Here in America, we have a food brand in stores called 'Hungry Jack's' who does breakfast items like pancakes, waffles, syrup, & dinner items like Instant Mashed Potatoes. So I've been unsure if they're the same brand as the Australian Burger King with the name 'Hungry Jack's'.

[@phunkmonkeycookiegarage7773]

My understanding of the name 'Hungry Jacks' actually came from that pancake brand, "Hungry Jack". Which at least used to be owned by Pillsbury, if not, still is (not sure). Pillsbury also owned Burger King and when they hit a wall in Australia regarding their branding issue, they simply adapted the name Hungry Jacks from their breakfast branding (Hungry Jack) as they didn't sell their pancake brand in stores here, and they, of course, already owned that brand. So yup, you're spot on, and well done because not many make that connection :)

Also, side note, we DO have the Rodeo cheeseburger here. We use to use the small crumbed onion rings but stopped that probably about 7? years ago? We now use actual pieces of onion ring in batter as opposed to the minced onion that's shaped and crumbed. It's honestly better imo when they're fresh. And Angry onions iirc have either cayenne pepper and/or added capsaicin in the batter. Not overly spicy but defs have a nice kick.

[@SlytherinReviews]

I had Hungry Jack's for lunch and yes the burgers are better at Hungry Jack's and when they made fresh and hot it taste a whole lot better

[@sarafontanini7051]

the grill master's change up their lineup every few years, originally the cheapest one was the bacon cheese and angus but that seems to have been replaced with the chicago grill master, and an angry angus with the angry onions was also a part of the line. Basically we got a ship of theseus sorta thing where the entire range has compltely changed from what it was a few years ago. (oh seems her one still has the original bacon and cheese) also the range has three major differences from the regular burgers: special buns, ergemont cheese rather than the normal one and 3rd Pound angus beef patties. So they're a lot bigger and more decadent overall, reflecting their higher price range. the cowboy angus has a pair of onion rings on it that's what sets it apart from the others in the range. (also we at least DID have the rodeo burger for a while not sure if it's something you cna still order though)

[@MsHolley350]

If U want rodeo burgers ..order 4 bbq cheeseburgers & medium onion rings, then add them to the burgers.. if ur a regular at ur local U could probably talk them into adding the rings to the burgers for U... total cost for for the 4 burgers+ medium rings will be $15

[@chriskelly9476]

Truthfully our fast food workers here in Australia are usually kids. High school kids or university students working part time and living at home with mum and dad. If you go to a HJ's here (or McDonald's or KFC or whatever), chances are the only staff member over 21 will be the manager. Even though our adult minimum wage is a lot higher than the US, you can't survive on it as an entry-level employee. Maybe as a manager, but not as a kitchen hand or fast food cashier. That's why its mainly students who do the job, who don't have rent or household bills to pay.

There’s some errors showcased in this Aussie side. The ‘chips’ in the whiskey burgers are Angry Onions and the sauces are Mayo, Mustard and BBQ sauce. The cheese that’s in the plant-based whopper or Rebel, the former name, is the standard cheese that’s in every burger that isn’t the Vegan or Angus. Also, the Chicago, Cowboy and Pulled Pork Angus are Promo burgers however, Chicago and Cowboy have stayed on the menu, but the Pulled Pork will leave soon and replaced with another promo. However it can still stay due to demand. The Pulled Pork Angus has a special Spicy BBQ sauce instead of the regular Smoky BBQ sauce, but that runs out often so they have to change it with Smoky. You should’ve waited for the summer promos which are the Tropical and the Aussie Whoppers/JFCs. Also, there wasn’t a Royale shown If you were to have done it in 2018-19 there would’ve been the Mini’s, Chicken Fries, Tendercrisp, Extra-long Tendercrisp. 2019-20 there was Tendercrisp wraps. There’s also a handful of other unique promos that were done. Roadhouse Whopper, Carolina Whopper (coming back), Pulled Beef Angus, Chorizo Angus, Fiery Angus, The Big Jack which was mentioned, the original Grilled Chicken bun, Chicken Tenders, Chicken Bites, the OG Beer Battered Onion Rings, the Black Ops 3 Whopper, and a bunch more that I cannot remember

I worked in a burger king in the early 2000s in Cabramatta Sydney in side was hungry Jacks but the signs around the shop an outside was burger king

[@cjryan88]

i remember in the 90s there was a burgerking about 100 mertes from a hunrgy jacks in tweedheads in northern NSW on the queensland boarder

This show has showed me that the American fast food chains are so much better outside of the U.S. I feel like these companies hate America since they don't seem to ever try here.

At the moment, Hungry Jacks has seasonal/limited editions whoppers. The tropical which pineapple and bbq sauce and the Aussie which has beetroot and egg added. Both are so good...

[@therealmisterap]

Man, I miss Australia. Been to 5 cities there!!! Hungry Jacks was pretty solid!!!

[@Cliftjumpers]

Ill stick to my theory on the BK/HJ.. The burger king came to Australia.. Dairy queen divorced him. Now hes hungry jack On side note BK name is jack

As a Defence Force Member (and I also believe it’s available to Emergency Service workers) we get a 30% discount on our meals at Hungry Jacks. It makes the value so much better than McDonalds.

[@barbararowley6077]

Honestly, the marketing of Angus beef here in Australia amuses me deeply. The vast majority of beef cattle here are Angus, so it’s like saying ‘average beef’.

While the airplane trip would be nightmarish, I think I might want to go to Australia in a few years and try their fast food. Hungry Jack's looks awesome.

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

1:03 Correction; 'French Fries' and 'Chips' are two distinct cuts of fried potato. Fries are long and thin (and are often more crispy and golden on the outside), and Chips are shorter and thicker. I'm sure Australia has Fries *and* Chips, just as we do in NewZealand. For example, KFC serves Chips, whereas McDonalds serves Fries. Non-Americans often think it's just a matter of different terms for the same thing, but it is not. It's hard to tell from the video, but it looks like she does have Chips in front of her, so it may be Hungry Jacks' fault for labeling them as "Fries".

[@diablotry5154]

Nope. It's all chips. Some places / people will say fries occasionally but no one bats an eye when you call it chips

[@sarafontanini7051]

a new storm flavour that just drpped recently is the fairy floss (cotton candy for americans cause they don't like fun I'm guessing) storm which is vanilla ice cream with...I'm gussing strawberry sauce (or maybe fairy floss flavoured sauce somehow?) and a big heaping of fairy floss/cotton candy on top because who needs teeth am i right? yes I did try it. it was alright.

Per capita, its basically equal. The US has BK 6729 restaurants, about 1.8 BK's per 100,000 people Aus has 463 HJ restaurants (as 24 Feb '24), about 1.75 HJ's per 100,000 people.

Being from Australia i can say our bacon is definitely different at fast food stores such as kfc. It's usually cooked separately to everything else, majority of stores try to accommodate a halal/kosher friendly menu

They come back very regularly.

[@Brenno031]

@@RiTchieKII yeah, they seem to come and go don’t they… it’s Big Jacks turn for a comeback!!

[@colliric]

The reason Hungry Jacks hasn't expanded as much here as in the US is because McDonalds had an effective monopoly on the fast food industry in Australia for quite some time as the Market leader. Still do. Wendy's is coming here soon, so the competition is going to get fiercer.

[@marydavis5234]

Lol Hungry Jacks is the Australian name for Burger King, they are the same fast food place , but have different names depending on the country they are in.

[@godz1379]

kfc is already catching mc donalds, 760 locations. wendys plans to open 200 stores by 2034 but unless they change up their burgers/menu to suit Aussie tastes, they wont survive. the real war would be if they brought popeyes here, to compete against kfc. atm kfc is just cleaning up on its own with no comp

[@jonathanniblock7799]

Peters vs Cornetto episode

[@Herbalaties]

I was working at hjs when the ultimate came out, double meat, double cheese, double bacon.. back when their bacon was three very processed strips per serve. Didnt have pickles, beetroot was a free optional extra (had to ask, nobody offers a freebie). Our regional SA town had the biggest sales of these burgers, as all the staff had tried them and loved them; encouraging us to push them harder just for the sales. Think they were like $8 back then, a normal whopper with cheese was $4.45 by memory

[@vcval]

Re the size of the beef patty , promo pictures are made with real shop made ingredients but are not cooked. A blow torch is used on the edges to give the beef a desired look, and the burgers are made in a wedge configuration to give the appearance of blump burger

[@UltraDoug]

More interesting than appetizing. As a teen I worked at BK and each day made myself a double whopper with bacon and cheese. Now I’m 53 and can’t remember the last time I visited a BK. Watching you guys pull them apart is kinda disgusting…….and yet I continue to watch. 😳

[@Westa94]

Might sound dumb but Hungry Jacks to me is more a country town fast food place and maccas is more a city fast food place.

[@Dirtmcgirt22]

You’re right that was dumb

[@rhysmagee7828]

Its the other way round bud

[@L7AVANZ]

True

[@DogmenHardcastle]

​@@rhysmagee7828yeah, Maccas is everywhere, HJs are a little harder to find and usually are limited to cities with few exceptions.

[@TheNthbeach]

The BBQ Plum is still my favourite all these years. On chips, onion rings and nuggets. We used to have a Fillet of Fish equivalent called the Ocean Catch, but disappeared just after 2000. The grilled chicken was my favourite for years, but has been priced around the same as a whopper so doesn’t represent good value. I miss the small onion rings that you see in the US though. I prefer them to the current ones.

[@JustinThomas7]

It looks like Burger King US Onion Rings are what they used to be at Hungry Jacks. They changed to an inferior battered recipe a few years ago (they used to be crumbed). Also the HJ burgers shown look bigger than what I've seen recently, I wonder if some stores are using smaller buns.

[@charlieschuder9976]

That's strange. The two local BK's I frequent still only have the breaded onion rings. I hope they don't switch the same battered crap you get everywhere else.

[@DecayingReverie]

It seems like the Australian division of the restaurant has a lot better quality than in the United States. I loved Burger King as a kid but their quality dropped off the face of the planet some time in late 2000s. I have a nostalgia for their onion rings, but even as a salt fiend, I find them very salty. I don't eat red meat so I can't really attest as to the quality of the burgers, but their chicken tastes worse than something out of a frozen dinner.

[@Ticonderous1]

I remember about 6 to 8 years ago Hungry Jacks tried to convert their stores to Burger Kings and it didn't go to well , so they changed them all back to Jacks ...

[@volrathy1]

Burger King is exclusively licensed to someone called Jack in Australia. Burger King tried to open stores under the Burger King name Jack sued them they lost and had to close the stores or swap them to hungry Jack's

[@Ticonderous1]

@volrathy1 cheers for that .. I just remember the hungry jacks near me went to B K then within about a month it was back to H Jack's...was very strange ..

[@TheChiramu]

Whiskey River is my favourite too but it's only on a timed menu :(, I never realised how different the menus are. I think I prefer our Aussie menu ❤.

[@MoneyMac18]

In Aus there's Veggie (normal cheese and mayo) and Vegan Whopper which offer purely vegan products. Like the Rebel, they offer both normal and vegan.

[@ChristianKrautwald]

Look how perfect the buns look in Australia too...

[@cannibalpenguin19]

We have Hungry Jack's pancakes and breakfast sandwiches in the freezer section of the grocery store at least here in Oklahoma but don't know if it's tied to the Australian company or they just license the name from them for us distribution?

[@PapagenoMF]

One is Hungry Jack's, and the other is Hungry Jack.

[@KeLLStaRoxx]

Good spot @cannibalpenguin19 ! I believe the company that owns Burger King America owns (or owned) the pancake brand. As the name Burger King was legally taken in Australia, they gave a list of names to choose from. The guy who bought the franchise is named Jack Cowan, no that's why he chose the name Hungry Jacks from that list.

[@Defensive_Wounds]

I had a Large Ultimate Whopper meal with a Frozen Coke yesterday evening! I was leaning towards the Aussie Whopper or the Whiskey Whopper - sadly they discontinued the boneless fried chicken pieces that were THE BOMB as we said back in the day...lol Same with lol, lol

[@ollivier71]

Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed Hungy Jack’s when I visited Australia. They use Aussie meat and that was really good. And just the fact it’s called different than Burger King like anywhere else in the world is an experience lol it’s funny to see that a burger can taste different depending the country it’s cooked. In France (where I live) Burger King is really good, they use French or European meats) but in the US, I definitely prefer Mc Donald’s or Wendy’s

As an American living down under for the last few years, I have to say that the beef in the burgers at Hungry Jacks is much better than Burger King, but the milk shakes are basically milk. I also prefer the US fries/chips over the Aussie ones. I detest bacon in Australia as it's basically ham with lots of fat. When my Aussie husband was in the US at ate bacon at the first time, he was like- I get why you have complained about the bacon in AU. And don't say that streaky bacon is the same, because it is NOT!
