MCDONALDS FOOD WARS - UK VS USA | REACTION!

[@beccaRey]

Well made biscuits don’t taste like cardboard. Biscuits should have a buttery flavor to them. You don’t just use them for sandwiches, they are also good with jam or honey. Sausage gravy on biscuits is also good. 😋

[@benx2230]

I like mine with butter and honey. Of course biscuits are best when they're still warm from the oven, so the butter and honey melt right in.

[@beccaRey]

@@benx2230 yes you’re right, fresh & warm from the oven is best!

[@Brian1972]

When I get a sausage biscuit at McDonald's I add grape jelly to it.

[@teacuptofu]

Or with butter and syrup like with pancakes 😁

[@jxstified7558]

My god biscuits and gravy is the best breakfast of all time I DONT CARE!!!

[@MoeDavinci]

15:16 Lmao I’m glad we in America aren’t the only ones who experiences the “the machine is down” crap 😂

[@janetsanford6923]

I came here to say the same thing, lol 😂

[@northernflicker6590]

I love your conversations just as much as the video itself. The three of you have developed a natural rhythm with introspective banter followed by genuine laughter. I have enjoyed watching lately. Thanks

[@aj897]

Their channel purposely doesn’t state the fact that US and UK laws are different when it comes to reporting ingredients in food

[@Kirinketsu_]

but if they did they would lose half their content.

[@UNLTDvision]

@@Kirinketsu_ he doesn’t care about they success, only his need to be a dick

[@Zodchi]

But they do in some comparison videos

[@yungkidnf]

In some episodes, they do. Certain dyes and food colorings, types of oils, and flavorings are outlawed in the UK vs. the US

[@jdanon203]

USA is very strict on listing ingredients. No other countries on earth have the same requirements.

[@Eryc001]

You three have such great chemistry together for reactions! Love the conversation and stories between clips. So fun to watch. Keep up the great work!

[@LakerZombie]

Aidan your donut & chicken is essentially why here in the US we have Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. You are 100% right. Gaynor don't knock it until you've tried it! 😁

[@GatBlackistan]

They also serve a chicken mcgriddle at the McDonald's in my area. 😋

[@rozi2089]

Truth!

[@AceManning18]

Sweet and savory is always a wonderful combination. People always look at me funny too and then I get them to try something and they act shocked. I told you it was delicious dumbass

[@ESUSAMEX]

Under federal law, all food ingredients must be listed by their scientific names. There are several types of salt, for example, and each one must be listed separately. If the restaurant refuses to follow the law, the government can come in and close down the restaurant.

[@katiel.3417]

I haven’t had a McFlurry in many years but at least back in the day here in the US it was mixed in- they had a machine that did it. It’s also a bit of a joke over here that the McFlurry machines are always broken (no matter which location, time of day, etc.) 😆

[@jmcg6189]

Sounds like the milk shake machine.

[@hopeanyastroud9573]

They still mix it in, the spoon is hollowed and squared off at the top to put the machine rod in to mix.

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

Here in the US, the ingredients list will tell you the plain ingredient name like enriched flour. Then the list will tell you breakdown of what the enriched flour is in scientific term names. The list is practically the same but the UK list doesn't give the more indepth breakdown just plain english.

[@Kirinketsu_]

UK/EU will sometimes list the same things that are listed on American labels but they use their number codes rather than scary sounding names.

[@FEARNoMore]

Yes exactly. Here in the U.S. its federal law to list EVERYTHING.

[@principals16842]

US McDonalds do have both 20 piece McNugget and 40 piece McNugget boxes. I imagine they'd use 10 piece boxes only if they were out of the larger packaging. Current sauces are Tangy BBQ, Sweet N Sour, Hot Mustard, Creamy Ranch (just as you guessed), Honey Mustard, Spicy Buffalo, and of course there are ketchup packets and pure honey. There have been other sauces in the past including Sweet Chili, Szechuan sauce (made famous by Rick and Morty), and Mesquite Barbecue.

[@erniejones5008]

Mine does not have 40 piece. And for the 20 piece they just used 2 ten piece boxes.

[@principals16842]

@@erniejones5008 It could be down to the individual franchisees. Mine has 20 piece boxes, exactly like the ones in the YT video "Chicken Nugget Challenge | 20 NUGGETS IN LESS THAN 3 MINUTES?" but I've never ordered the 40. It might be an unusual enough order that they would simply use 2x20s though the box exists.

[@erniejones5008]

@@principals16842 I remember McDonald’s around me having a 20 piece boxes but it’s been at least 5 years since I’ve seen them.

[@BellaKat7]

If you get a meal at McDonalds, you automatically get a medium. Maybe that is what you are remembering? Also, making your order special will guarantee a fresh sandwich and not one that has been sitting out for awhile. So, I am with you, G, on getting a Big Mac without lettuce! I love your videos! The passion you all have for both countries really makes it an enjoyable learning experience for both citizens. You guys are exceptional storytellers and not only make me want to visit England, but have helped me fall in love with my own country again. So, ty for that!

[@DSWilkes]

Aidan's doughnut chicken sandwich has been done here in the US. Sold by none other than KFC. A huge sugar glazed doughnut split in half with a chicken breast filet in between. It was only available for a limited time around 4 maybe 5 years ago. I was only able to get one because I procrastinated. It was heavenly delicious. Not sure why they haven't brought it back for another limited run though?

[@OhArchie]

G, you might be thinking about the Blizzard at Dairy Queen, where everything is blended. Also, if Southern biscuits are made right they taste *buttery*

[@yungkidnf]

McDonald's used to mix the toppings right in using the machine and a special spoon attachment. They've since long stopped doing it, though.

[@ObserverAmanda]

I am truly curious about the ages and countries of the people commenting and liking statements like this? I remember recently someone jokingly mention a video about a customer using a "broken" McFlurry machine. I searched online and it was posted in *December*. They phased out the machines in my area, but I remember them making other people's McFlurries without mixing even though I could see the machine on the counter like 5 years ago.

[@twin3290]

love the confession Aidan. "I DON'T SHARE THE SHARE BOX" LMFAO

[@Flannel_Affinity]

I always find it interesting how British people refuse to believe that biscuits and scones are not the same thing. Also, if you ate a biscuit that tasted like cardboard, you should seek recompense.

[@yomama629]

Supersize was actually an option at McDonald's for a long time. It was essentially a very large portion of whatever you were ordering. There's even a documentary about the effects of eating that for 30 days called "Supersize Me"

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

The film was on the effects of just eating McDonald’s for an extended period of time. Though I think it is why they did away with supersizing.

[@joelirish]

@@JustMe-dc6ks And not only did he make himself eat only McDonald's for a month, he was also required to say yes if the employee asked, "Would you like to supersize that?" (which they were trained to always ask...).

[@MoeDavinci]

3:52 the 50 piece shared box actually comes in a different, larger box to hold all 50.

[@champ1ontryymegaming304]

The McFlurry was first introduced in the late 90s. The stuff was and still is mixed in, but they also put some extra on top. Dairy Queen came out with the Blizzard first, then McDonald's sort-of copied the Blizzard and gave it the name McFlurry.

[@biggahblack5030]

Donut sandwich was invented by singer Luther Vandross about 40 years ago. He use to make it for his celebrity friends in the 80"s. RIP

[@StevenCryar]

What I've noticed what the 20 piece boxes is that some locations have them and some don't.I think it just comes down to if that manager orders them or not

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

We've had wraps at McD for probably 20 years in the US. Also Honey as a sauce for the nugs

[@erikdukes2505]

UK vs USA McDonald's was uploaded in 2020. So tons of food items from McDonald's menus. Have either been discounted or added overtime. I remember as an teenager, I would get the wraps. Additional items from their menus would be: big Mac; filet o fish, normal hamburgers; quarter pounder, mc griddle and fruit smoothies. I have never ate there in ages. Occasions I would order the desserts. And the pancake platter. Though I once asked for their pancakes. On an few occasions from my toddler through kid years. Aww those were the positive, innocent years of my life. I absolutely missed them. They are kept save in my heart.

[@thereallyst]

-We had something called the Snack Wrap, which they discontinued in 2016. -Since most McDonalds are franchises, they can set their own pricing and choose whether they charge for sauces not part of a meal. -Those are not churros... -The donut chicken sandwich is something that (I think they may still have them) KFC sells. They also used to sell a sandwich called The Double Down, where they took off the bread and replaced it with two pieces of fried chicken fillets..

[@lh8956]

There’s a documentary on the ice cream machines, and why they legitimately are often broken. It’s based around greedy business dealings. The machines are intentionally hard to fix, and no detailed trouble shooting manuals are made available.

[@bracejuice7955]

Honestly just stick a camera in front of Gaynor and ask her about her opinions on stuff. Fascinating

[@kathleenchilcote9127]

Aiden would love chicken and waffles ! Many restaurants sell this. It's a waffles with fried chicken served with syrup...

[@Brian1972]

More Food Wars videos . They're fun.

[@sueosborne533]

“No one’s touching my nuggets”. 🤣🤣

[@hungryclone]

They categorically will not give you 20 sauces. You typically get 3 sauces per 20 nuggets, 2 or 1 for 10, and 1 for any smaller size.

[@alvinscott1331]

Your mom is right. McDonnald's started offering the McFlurry's--a knock off of the Dairy Queen Blizzard--in 1997 And the main ingredient--for example M&Ms--are mixed. Extra sauce used to be free; but they now charge.

[@danjordan6387]

You guys should check out some of the food insider videos they got videos on the most popular dishes in all 50 states from burgers to pizza

[@Frogr82]

We now have a chicken mcgriddle as breakfast item. And yes our ice cream machines are always down but the reason is they're supposed to be cleaned a couple times a week and it takes hours to fully take the machine apart, clean it and put it back together so it's easier to keep them down until they have time to clean them. The mcflurries have been around in usa since at least the 80s when I had them as a kid but they have changed a bit. In the past it was mixed only but now it's mixed and a spoon full placed on top in addition

[@gengar6969]

Biscuits don’t taste like cardboard! There are some places with truly awful biscuits in the US, but when made right they are fantastic

[@tonyzook8984]

U guys have some sauces we don’t have, love the channel btw

[@boo2564]

I’m surprised no one has said it but we actually do have a chicken McGriddle now in the US per Aidan’s request 😂

[@EbnPhtm]

" Have you ever taken a doughnut and sliced it in half to put a piece of chicken in the middle..." I haven't but my man im gonna try it now.

[@kevinprzy4539]

the lettuce from majority of fast food places is pointless to eat because it's iceberg lettuce which practically has no nutrients and wraps used to be a thing in the US (early 2000's to 2014ish) but not many people bought them so they took them off and Mcflurrys were introduced in 1997.

[@brandonaston301]

Mcflurries in the US are M&M’s or Oreo. They discontinued my favorite Reese’s Peanut Butter cup. They pour the topping into the cup on top of the ice cream then they put a special spoon in that attaches to the machine and spins around which mixes the topping into the ice cream.

[@jartstopsign]

It's funny how Aidan goofs on Daz, but he's so similar

[@BTinSF]

McDonald's fries use to be cooked in beef tallow, I believe but that's a saturated fat so they switched to mainly vegetable oil but put in the beef flavor to mimic the former flavor.

[@chimself]

that lettuce is the staple of the big mack, kinda makes it, might as well get a burger with thousands island dressing haha

[@johnwhite345]

There’s no need to ever worry about ice if you have free refills. It’s your choice whether you want ice or not. In the US You usually get your refills yourself.

[@katiel.3417]

Also, Food Wars did a Nando’s comparison and the UK had more options and such I think for that one (granted, there’s only a few Nando’s locations in the US, not all over). And if you like chicken and sweet things, try chicken and waffles! Fried chicken on top of a Belgian waffle and pour maple syrup on top.

[@Yugioh420]

The thing with tje donut and chicken sandwich is a thing as well over here but they dont cut a donut in half. They use one on each side. Its a tictock thing if i remember right. Im pretty sure i seen it on people vs food. But instead of regular glazed donuts they used jello filled or what you might call jam filled glazed dpnuts with a large piece of breaded fried chicken filet in between then

[@SilvanaDil]

Time to do each state's iconic food. (Daz saw it long ago on OBR.)

[@AxelFoleyDetroitLions]

Aiden, Chicken and Pancakes is a popular Breakfast Item (drizzle some syrup on)….Its similar to your donut chicken sandwich. Sweet and Savory

[@DUEYZ4U]

When it comes to excess at McDonald's, I'm not sure anyone wins. But for those few moments while you're having it.....

[@NomyJackson]

I love you guys!😀

[@billythepoet28]

Chicken and waffles....should have them try it! Amazing!

[@chrisjarvis2287]

They used to have snack wraps here in the states.

[@davidcopple8071]

Big Mac, AKA Thousands Islands Dressing. Ketchup, mayonnaise, and sweet pickle relish. = Big Mac sauce.

[@ArmyEric1-21]

Should watch all the other Food Wars video's that the Office Blokes have already seen. For example the Food Wars video about UK vs USA KFC or UK vs USA Domino's.

[@bigplanett]

You all should go to the US and vlog the trip trying new foods and seeing new places. Then write it off your taxes as a business expense. 😉

[@license2kilttheplaidlad640]

Shamrock shakes are refered to as Malox shakes because that's what they taste like

[@brettl2162]

The Big Mac sauce is almost the same as Thousand Island dressing with one minor difference really.

[@ryanjustice2670]

But what is the difference? Growing up, whenever my mom did do a basic tossed salad with supper, we(me, my brother, and my sister) basically had the choice of French or Thousand Island dressing. For this reason I always skipped the salad option, but when I was a pre-teen it finally occurred to me that the sauce on a Big Mac was basically that. So I never could figure out why I loved it on Big Macs, but it made gag on salads.

[@solace6700]

"mcgriddy" 😭😭

[@Splagnate]

If you order a burger and ask to have without for instance pickles they have to make it fresh. So if you go when it’s slow you don’t have to worry about getting one that’s been sitting a bit.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

Haven’t had McDonald’s in a few years so I don’t know what all the sauces are, I suppose ranch is bound to be one. The original sauces for dipping McNuggets were barbecue, honey mustard, honey, and sweet & sour. Much more recently there was a sweet chili sauce I liked.

[@tejida815]

There’s a great restaurant in Philly called Federal Donuts (FedNuts). They sell fried chicken and donuts.

[@lisas572]

Oh, you get the same thing about the ice cream and McFlurry machine that it's broke. They say that all the time in America. We have meals called chicken and waffles it's good from the South. We eat biscuits & gravy my dad was from the South, and made the best biscuits & gravy.

[@SheaSF]

The word small is never used to describe anything at McDonald's. It's "regular," "large," and "super-sized."

[@calres8626]

The sweet taste you were talking about with the chicken and donut I can imagine is good. As here in California we do have chicken and waffles(Roscoe’s). Which has a sweet flavor when adding syrup to waffles and combining the chicken flavor. Its delicious

[@2WarriorJay8]

0:40 yes if you eat there.

[@Tabfort]

Mcflurry’s have the topping mixed through the ice cream in the USA.

[@andrewchristopher7138]

Mcflurry came out in 1998

[@drewhuesken657]

You can actually get a chicken McGriddle in the US. It’s basically a McChicken on a McGriddle bun without the lettuce and mayo of course.

[@wkbowles]

extra sauces in the USA are 50 cents each extra. You only get a few free sauce packs

[@mchrisbrooks]

23:49 You would love Chicken and Waffles! Look it up.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

The bread for the McMuffin is what we call an English muffin*. As he says the McGriddle has, essentially, pancakes with crystallized syrup cooked into them. *Don’t blame us, Mr Thomas of Thomas’s English Muffin fame came England.

[@MoeDavinci]

Is the liquid metrics between the US and UK different (Like gallons , pints etc)? Because those drinks look proportionally inconsistent.

[@erikdukes2505]

Y'all should react to other food wars videos. They have tons. Ranging from Skittles to Wingstop.

You 3 are a fun group. That Said I also like Daz 😃

[@bunnyfufu9933]

It's free refill almost anywhere with tap, in the us 😆

[@Skipmakeitflip]

i heard "the ice cream machine is broken" is just an excuse for when there's roaches or other bugs in the pipes

[@Matt_4871]

I’m 100% with you Aiden, if it’s green, nope. Also, Food Wars! Hell Yes!! Look forward to more of these, always great to watch reruns with different reactions and perspectives. *Edit: Canada, I’m sure now the US has them too, we do have all the same breakfast options, but they can be substituted with a piece of chicken, chicken is on the spicier side, straight delicious Cheers UK Fam 🇬🇧 🍻👍

[@rozi2089]

Gaynor's right. McFlurry has been around 20 plus years *AND* they were and still are mixed up here in The States 🇺🇲. Its been a year or two since I've had one, but the Oreo McFlurry has chunks of broken Oreo throughout the ice cream.

[@4theloveoflife]

we have donut hamburgers here in vegas and it is normal

[@Splagnate]

I think the fries at McDonald’s in the US are represented by the Golden Arches in the logo so I guess that’s why the color of them matters.

[@douggaijin]

In the US I order either a quarter pounder with Big Mac sauce or a Big Mac with no center bun slice.
