British Highschoolers Try American Sodas For The First Time | Americans React | Loners

[@markwolstenholme3354]

Hi, yes we have carbonated drinks in the UK (fizzy pop). I think it's probably the amount of sugar in the US soda that they don't like. 😮.

[@thierryf67]

not only... they say it tastes medicals. even the colour seems artificial.

[@helenwood8482]

We do have carbonated drinks, but ours are flavoured with actual fruit juice, not chemicals and we don't have them too carbonated.

[@robertlonsdale5326]

We tend to drink blackcurrant stuff instead of grape. You don't drink much blackcurrant over there.

[@xWhiteSyrie]

I try explaining this to my American in-laws and they can't get over how "backwards" it is that we don't consume grape flavoured things in the UK 🙄😑

[@Londronable]

Taste is one of those things that adjusts over time. Even as a "sweet tooth" here in Belgium, American food is just on another level.

[@alanmoss3603]

We have iced tea in the UK like Liptons. After returning from a year in the US I was shocked at how much better UK food tasted - we have far less additives and colorings and more natural ingredients. American bread is horrible. Bacon too!

[@XPLOSIVization]

American branded bread is so sugary it might as well be a cake, and agreed its horrible especially for making sandwiches

[@Michael-kf7gm]

American bacon is way better than the UK. UK bacon tastes like rubber.

[@empowerqueenelizabeth1048]

I'm from Scotland and there's nothing better than a hot cup of tea. However tea is for relaxing and coffee is for survival. 😂

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Nothing better in terms of drinks? Is that supposed to be obvious?

[@janicejohnson6372]

We do have carbonated drinks but they are not full of sugar or artificial colouring, most of which are banned in the UK due to their health risks.

[@Jeni10]

We make proper hot tea by boiling the kettle and making a pot of tea! 🇦🇺😋😋

[@atmosphere60]

In Cuba you can get a drink squeezed straight from sugar cane into ice. It's delicious and doesn't contain anywhere near as much sugar as a US soda drink, which is quite scary.

[@eawrb9373]

The issue isn't that there is no tea, hot or cold. The issue is how sweet everything is made in the states. I normally take a couple of days to adjust to the food when I go to the states. Quite a few of the main brands of food and drink are simply too sweet or have a preservative or artificial taste it takes me a bit to get used to. I much prefer what you can find that is locally produced around the places i visit whenever im there. You have some of the best artisan products I have come across. That said. Yes, we have everything you can buy in the states in Europe. Some products, however, will be made slightly different because a few of the additives are illegal in the food here. Something I always find funny since the sugar will kill you long before the additives will.

[@TheEmperorBear]

We have Mountain Dew in the EU, but the Recipe here is not the same, and it has a Disclaimer for the Coffin Greetings from Silesia

[@richt71]

In the UK grape flavour isn't that popular, neither is ice tea. Mountain dew is completely different in the UK as the US version contains many banned substances. In the UK according to a recent survey 63% of people drink coffee regularly as opposed to 60% drink tea regularly.

[@CPTM1]

That big red reminds me of a drink we have or had in the UK. I haven't seen it in a long time. But a drink called Tizer. Can't explain the taste, and it is red like that. I think it is a citrus drink. I can't really remember

[@eumaeus]

FYI we do have grape but it's not that common. Instead, we have blackcurrant, which in the US is uncommon (there's a reason why this is the case in the US, Google it). PS. blackcurrant flavour is friggin' awesome.

[@medders383]

In Canada Clamato Juice is a staple drink, we drink it straight or as a Caesar with Vodka, Tabasco and Worchester Sauce, or combined with beer (Not mixed just poured into the beer).

[@grangegorman34mikmik66]

Irn Bru and Dandelion and Burndock are the best fizzy drinks

[@notyourdaddy8300]

In the UK and the EU there are consumer protection laws which prevent manufacturers from adding the insane amounts of additives, preservatives, and all manner of other garbage into foods that are common in the US

[@sukikerridge6453]

Yes, here in the UK we drink cold tea but mostly in the summer. I love to drink tomato juice, not with clams though. We have lots of carbonated drinks from fizzy waters to pops.

[@robertlonsdale5326]

Try Vimto. A cordial that you dilute with water, warm or cold. One of the most famous thing to come out of Blackburn, Lancashire.

[@Ghost-yc7eq]

The fact they are calling it "orange fanta"... our fanta is yellow, not even close to being orange and yet to them that is the original color 😂

[@ChokyoDK]

Never expected to see you guys watching JOLLY/KoreanEnglishman :)

[@RuiBarEdits2]

Portuguese here. We are a coffee country but we also drink lots of tea. Did you know that we the Portuguese were the ones who introduced tea in England a couple of centuries ago? About the Ice-Tea like Lipton's or other brand, we have it here. They all have lots of sugar. I guess it's because sugar causes addiction. I found no other reason because if you blend half a glass of the drink with water it still tastes good. Does bottled Ice-Tea in America have even more sugar?

[@barbenpisse]

I love the taste of Clamato by itself. I love it in my "Bud-Clam"

[@geertvanschaik7976]

I tried some of these drinks when I was in the USA. I truely thought some of this stuff was meant to make your teeth spontaniously fall out of your mouth. Incredible sweet that was.

[@real_lostinthefogofwar]

Clamato was invented for Bloody Caesars, and that's all it should be used for, the Bloody Caesar is Canada's national cocktail

[@ehughes8829]

We dont drink ice tea because it's ridiculous to consider drinking tea cold with ice. 😅😂

[@penname5766]

Yeah but I think the tradition comes from the American Deep South where the weather is crazy hot in the summer because of how close to the equator it is and some of it being a heat trap due to its geography (like how Madrid is during July and August).

[@kevinporteous431]

I'm up in Scotland and I'm a tea addict 😂😂 I must drink about 8 cups of tea a day

[@BergenDev]

Ey, im subbed to these boys. The Korean food videos ...*drool*

[@KeesBoons]

This was a good one to remind me why I don't drink "sodas".

[@SurrealisticLEO]

Fanta has always been my favourite, but if I'm eating Snickers, I want to drink Coca-Cola with it - the perfect combination. Well, in Finland and Estonia we have either Lipton or Fuze ice tea (and then some other brands too) but they are not so sweet, more like natural tasting, you know what I mean, like you can taste the black or green tea and then the added flavour (peach, lemon, etc.) tastes natural. And Finns love to drink their coffee, from morning to late evening, but in Estonia it's like 50/50 more or less. Personally I love tea, give me different variations of Earl Grey and I'm fine for the week.

[@leereynolds3673]

im from Essex england, about an hour from london, iced tea is getting more popular here but not close to hot tea/coffee

[@penname5766]

My first thought when I saw that weird brown drink was how it resembled oil for topping up your car. Over here, those bottles are extremely similar, so the packaging would almost certainly not be allowed on that basis, as there would be kids thinking the oil for the car was soda!

[@joannafisher3391]

Hi yes we definitely have carbonated drinks but there not as sweet as the ones in the US . Tea and coffee are both popular but tea is definitely drank more I would say . I have one coffee in the mornings but drink tea a few times a day it’s just more refreshing. But I will also Drink water , Pepsi , and a few others things as well . We also drink a lot of squash which is a fruit concentrate you add to water which has lots of different flavours. But grape is not a flavour we see often . Blackberry is more popular here

[@patriciacrangle8244]

American Mountain Dew is banned in Europe because of the additives it as to be made to a different recipe yes we do have carbonated drinks the carbonated process was in uk in 1767 but first was sold commercially in 1786 in Switzerland by a man named Schweppes the firm is still producing carbonated drinks We have a sugar tax in uk & by law the sugar levels are regulated

[@AnthonyValentine-vm1yc]

Those day-glo colours alarm me. How many additives do they use to achieve them.

[@mwtrolle]

11:34 Nordic blueberries are blue all the way through, they should be a lot more healthy than American blue berries!

[@lauraroe2632]

We do have fizzy drinks over here I can’t compare personally as I haven’t tried any American soft drinks but I have learnt that your drinks are very sweet. We do sell ice tea drinks here not sure if they are popular. I prefer hot tea

[@marydavis5234]

Clamato is not a soda, it is combination of clam juice and tomato juice that goes into bloody Mary’s and other alcoholic drinks as a mixer.

[@AutoAlligator]

Love it! :D x

[@XPLOSIVization]

We do have Iced Tea in the UK its brand is Lipton's, I personally do like the Iced Tea Peach Lipton's do, Im not a fan of the sugary Soda's So i tend to drink the Zeros (Dr Pepper Zero or Coke Zero) And Pepsi Cherry Max is good too, When i did drink sugary Sodas about 10 years ago, id go for Dr Pepper, Orange Fanta or a Pepsi

[@ChokyoDK]

The history behind Fanta is crazy.

[@emmahowells8334]

We have more black currant drinks than grape. We have taco bell in the UK too, they do in my part of the UK Wales. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Yes we do have fizzy drinks which are really fizzy but i guess American drinks are more carbonated than in the uk. We drink more tea than coffee in the UK, but there are a lot of coffee drinkers here, tea tho is mostly drunk hot than cold.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox6627]

You DO realise why that vegetable drink is called V8 don’t you? V= Vegetable & 8 because it’s made from eight vegetables, specifically: beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, parsley, watercress, spinach, and tomato.

[@TheLucyannaVIP]

Im from UK coffee is very popular just as tea here I personally hate hot tea but love iced peach tea

[@neilgayleard3842]

We don't have much grape flavour anything. Because we have blackcurrant. I like root Beer but we don't have much of it in Britain.

[@robbpatterson6796]

I don't know what it is about you guys, but the way you talk, act and genuinely seem yourselves, makes you a hard channel not to love. How you are under 10k subs actually baffles me

[@craighughes4906]

mtn dew is banned in europe as it has 11 teaspoons of sugar per can along with some seriously bad colourings used in industrial manufacturing.

[@gillfox9899]

I don't think our fizzy drinks are as, carbonated as those in the States. Don't drink them that often but do have a liking for dandelion and burdock, Tizer and occasionally Irnbru

[@helgawitch2821]

We do have fizzy drinks but not overly carbonated

[@massimoblanco2132]

At McDonald's in Belgium 🇧🇪 i drink beer 🍺

[@module79l28]

9:10 - My first thought when I saw that can wasn't petrol but motor oil. 🤮

[@robert-antoinedenault5901]

Clamato is sold mostly to Canada as our "national" cocktail drink requires it. Bloody Ceasar. (Not to be confused with the LAME & tasteless bloody Mary from the USA). We add Worcestershire (anchovie based condiment), celery salt-rim and elevated with a few splashes of hot sauce (traditionally Tabasco)

[@tolstoyed]

can’t beat cocacola really. i used to drink a lot of it, but quit like a couple of months ago. in the beginning i actually missed it, but then i had a glass about a month later and it actually tasted quite a bit worse compared to how i tasted it when i’d drink it daily. it was way too sweet and i don’t think i’ll ever go back to drinking it as much as i used to. now i mix orange and lemon powdery thing with water, and the cool thing about it is you get to adjust how sweet or sour you want it because you just add more water… the recommended mix is way too sweet, but even that still not nearly as sweet as coke

[@penname5766]

Yes, coffee is as popular as tea, I would say. I know lots of people who don’t really like tea, myself included.

[@annavalentinamartinezparqu7618]

You have 2 types of blueberries and they are not even from the same family. The 'real blueberry' is definitely blue inside and you get the tongue coloured blue. They grow in the forest on low bushes and are full of nutrients. The other blueberries are cultivated, growing on higher bushes, not from the same family, not as full of nutrients and not giving off a blue colour on your tongue. My favourite is the one growing in the forest which you pick yourself 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@ikeettgaming]

In france a very popular ice thé is peach

[@AC-ni4gt]

Ya ain't wrong on the toxic part for the sodas. Terrifyingly addicting.

[@Liverpoolboy01]

No here in the U.K., tea is number 1😊

[@danmayberry1185]

Brits lost their sweet tooth during war rations (sugar was scarce). They're happy with an orange squash and some highland oatcakes.

[@rayeb7537]

in canada McDonalds does hot tea

[@andreanecchi5930]

It's really strange that you ask if we have ice tea

[@belopan190]

From Belgium here we have ice tea but the most popular is fuzetea and lipton, you can buy arizona too but its expensive

[@uniquename111]

I don't drink any of those shown in your video. Raspberry soda is my favorite. There is one with less sugar in it which make the raspberry taste come forward and i love that during summers with ice in it. It is still Soda though and full of sugar but yeah if i want to drink Soda then that is going to be my pick.

[@Lucia-1414]

I drink tea and coffee.

[@prototypega8257]

Mounten Dew and Dr.Pepper are commen in Germany for min 15 Years

[@helenwood8482]

You need to try UK drinks. I'll never understand why Americans tolerate that rubbish.

[@Armoure10]

Hmm im in norway, and i cant stand coffee 😛 But i think that we are among the top coffee drinkers pr capita in the world. Lol just like we are the top eater of frozen pizza in the world 😂😂

[@Ron-kn9fu]

We do have ice tea but it’s much nicer then that ice tea

[@helenwood8482]

Iced tea is a purely American abomination. We like our tea hot and strong, with milk and sugar.

[@asmodon]

To me „hot tea“ is a tautology.

[@leereynolds3673]

think you’re sodas are way more sugary 😂

[@rickb.4168]

We invented carbonated drinks. (Joseph Priestley 1767)

[@baronmeduse]

Sent a 'whole bunch' ..? There you have the Americanisation of English in England.

[@Jeni10]

Aussie Mtn Dew has different ingredients to the US version, same with Fanta, Coca Cola etc.

[@neilgayleard3842]

Mountain dew is band in many countries.

[@TheEmperorBear]

same in the EU

[@neilgayleard3842]

I included them.

[@siriuspyramid7441]

Hi ! Fun reaction, Josh and Holly are very funny guys. Here in France we have blue Fanta (and many others differents) and Arizona ice tea there are in colorful bottles (I tried once but so different to others ic tea). I prefer May Tea peach less sugary or Agrumes Schweppes.

[@siriuspyramid7441]

Or maybe one of my favorite soda is Orangina red sparkling soda with red oranges. First taste is sugar of course and sparkling but after this you can taste the red orange😜! But be care this unhealthy !

[@robertlonsdale5326]

Fanta originates from Germany during ww2.

Blue raspberries actually exist. It is called Rubus caesius in Latin and grows in most of Europe and northern Asia

[@grabtharshammer]

Don't we call them Dewberries in the UK?

[@KARMAZYNA]

It's funny how you guys automatically associate anything blue with blue raspberry flavour, while a "blue raspberry" is not even a thing. There's no such fruit, it's all 100% artificial.

[@Nekotaku_TV]

I tried Mtn Dew in Japan and it tasted so bad.

[@shchenka5973]

Except Fanta is German

[@WookieWarriorz]

These videos are very strange. we have 95% of these foods and drinks in the UK. We have American sections in stores and American candy stores. None of this is now to me. We don't drink grape drinks, though that shit is gross.

[@marydavis5234]

99% of the things sold in other countries American aisles in stores are not even sold and made in the USA, as they are not American, for example, Takis potato chips are a Mexican snack, it even says in Spanish on the bag made in Mexico.
