[@ewansamms]

Ive said It once and Ill say it again, Barry and Ashens are the best pair on youtube.

[@mrbarrylewis]

we have a good bromance

[@ewansamms]

I ship Bashens

[@93PiePinkie]

BASHENS FOREVER

[@thedenmeister6414]

93PiePinkie Or Arry.

[@WillJordanNyarukochan]

They should join forces permanently

[@BioYuGi]

Ashen's reaction when he saw the chocolate lumps is one of my favorite adorable moments on KZbin.

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

you brought drugs

[@warlord1873]

When and where

[@Mousy677]

date somebody who looks at you the way Ashens looks at a refresher

[@rebecca7518]

Now that's something we all want

[@PhilShary]

Another amazing collab - Ashens and Barry surely complement each other perfectly - Ashens is a comedian who occasionally deals with food and Barry is a food specialist who occasionally deals with comedy.

[@Matt19matt19]

Yay barry + ashens = awesomeness. Im only 27 and i remember going to the shop as a kid and there was big pick n mix counter and u could get loads of sweets for 50p in a white paper bag. I just used to ask for a mixture. Thats all gone now. The pick n mix u get is expensive and over £1 per 100g. My favourites were white mice and those bubaloo chewing gums

[@LoyalistViral]

Kieran McCarthy Is that there ship name?

[@Matt19matt19]

Both mvk and ashens wud be in my top 5 youtubers. Along with pewdiepie, hurderofbuffalo and wreckless eating

[@robot797]

were i live there is still one pick and mix shop a women 70 or 80 year old runs it she always told us that she would work there until she could not work anymore it is one of the most awsome shops i know

[@LittleMissJellybeann]

I remember buying chews that came with crappy temporary tattoos of dolphins and pirates and feeling like such a badass when I was sent to the toilets to wash them off of my arms at primary school

[@BrokenString15]

Allonsy! Haha yes!

[@AtLiveGaming]

My top 5 would probably be: 1. Giant strawberries 2. Fizzy cola bottles 3. Teeth and brushes 4. Jelly babies 5. Those huge spiral strawberry things that if you had 4 in your bag it would cost £86.50

[@Forever_Npc]

Number 5 made me lol rather alot.

[@TieganSwift]

Love the teeth and toothbrushes!

[@AtLiveGaming]

Matt S. Thanks XD

[@salbari3470]

My top five r Jelly beans Candy bracelets Strawberry cables Chocolate freckles and Foam teeth 🍧🍫🍬🍭🍦🍩🍪🍰🍨🍡

[@jon8545]

Salmaan Bari top ten 10: jelly snakes 9: jelly spiders 8: mini eggs 7: magic carpets 6: smarties 5: chocolate covered brazils 4: lizards 3: ABC 2: gummy bats 1: Percy pigs

[@hayleyralph9572]

The "rabbit poo" is similar to something my local newsagent used to sell called "choc lick" which was badly crushed and pulverised M&Ms, some of which was almost chocolate dust with chunks of M&M. He also sold something called "Malt Crumb" which was Maltesers in a similar crushed stste. We would buy it by the quarter (of a pound) and eat it out of the bag with spoons from our toy tea sets.

[@blismwithmyblizblop]

It's like I'm watching you and Ashens as kids again. Really cool! I enjoyed every second of both vids!

[@Loopy12390]

Hey Barry, just want to say that your videos have helped me and my kids cook together.

[@mrbarrylewis]

Great stuff, send me some pics

[@Matt19matt19]

Hasheem Gul bit uncalled for if i do say so. I know u were probably joking but this isnt the place for that sort of talk

[@Matt19matt19]

Ok. End of conversation

[@Iliek]

Matt Nicholson These guys make joke videos on the internet. You're expecting no silly comments? While there is nothing inherently pedophilic about it, asking to see pics of someone who left a comment on your video and their kids is a little odd and the response that Hasheem Gul gave was of greater entertainment value to me than the entirety of this video.

[@solidcake3401]

Loopy12390 thats funny cause his videos helped me cook my kids

[@ambersims1269]

oh my god i freaked out when i see your advert on tv i love you guys

[@Merthurmad]

They do in fact make a little gummy tooth brush, I have seen them in my local Pick and Mix, quite tasty.

[@beth4354]

Aw I'm so glad you two met eachother; you're so similar :D x

[@creads3]

The refreshers are lemon flavour 😉🙃

[@gfunkin3d]

When Barry hands Stuart the cola cube, does it sound to anyone else like Stuart was about to say 'mantastic'???

[@mrbarrylewis]

lol

[@deardegenerate8017]

Pic n mixes are measured by weight. I have fond memories of buying a very large bag of marshmallows while my brother bought like 5 cola bottles, a piece of fudge, and a single strawberry cable.

[@justillogical]

It's weird seeing Ashens sitting on a couch, and not just looking at the back of one. Also, Barry and Ashens need to do more videos together bc theyre amazing

[@Desmont123]

The Solaire shirt!! Praise the Sun!!

[@mfsgoeshard]

Right! We're off to tesco

[@Cattfacex]

Ashens reminds me of Howard Moon from the Mighty Boosh hahahah

[@Dojan5]

I can't stand carbonated drinks either. Whenever someone gave me a carbonated drink, I used to take a spoon or a fork and get rid of all the bubbles. Apparently people find flat drinks disgusting, but I find them way more palatable than the fizzy ones. Granted I'd prefer to avoid the stuff altogether.

[@neoman289151]

PRAISE THE SUN

[@georgethakur]

express gratitude for the central star

[@mattyboosh]

From what I remember, the last item that was tried was called 'Choc Nibbles' and 'Choc Lick' - memories of walking home from school in the mid 90's with a face covered in chocolate dust.

[@OGSilverfox8]

They were called toffee crumble

[@LiamAnthony_]

I remember them being Choc Nibbles too

[@cheezdoodle96]

Man, nothing will ever compare to the feeling of walking home from school as a kid.

[@johnrich5798]

There is a shop where I live (a little town in England) were all you can get is old sweets that are no longer around and even American sweets like twinkies and the lucky charms cereal and behind the counter is a pick and mix were there are Bon bons, chocolate things and everything and they are so cheap. Although I am only 16 this year I still feel nostalgia every time I walk in there and buy some sweets that I had never heard of because I wasn't even born

[@deimoskaischylos]

Oh, Ashens...If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

[@ratkingpierrot]

Barrys texan sort of accent he did was my favorite part of this, as a texan

[@Skyrilla]

I like Ashens' "Um?" every time after a bad joke.

[@EP1CMINER]

Ooh I love those refreshers, my favorite candy ever! I actually like all of them except that cube.

[@amberroberts215]

The chocolate powder is now called choc lick and the chocolate lumps are choc nibs (sometimes known as chocolate nibbles).... Definitely my faves

[@SeraphisCain]

I'm going to have to subscribe, aren't I? *sigh* Fine, fine. Your devious plan of teaming up with Ashens and also being really entertaining has worked, Chef Barry!

[@TheAakashFilms]

I screamed with joy when i saw this video on my sub box. Awesome video, Barry : D

[@alexaolsen9542]

barry i still buy chocolate crumb and choc lick from my local vintage sweet shop! - only on rare occasion though, because it's just floor sweepings from cheapo cadbury and nestle chocolate factories, but the sound of the scales filling up with sweets is so evocative!

[@Hinoarashii]

Its funny how as we grow older, our interest in consuming sweets decreases. I remember in year 7 there use to be those who sold chewing gum and bags of sweets like they were dealing drugs!

[@doordieace5high]

Hinoarashii Even my sweet tooth went away around my early 20s.

[@D00dlebugInc]

26 and munching sweets while watching this. Now scared I'm suddenly going to get bored halfway through...

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

I'm 32, and I still have a sweet tooth

[@seanwjf2120]

Love Stuart's shirt \[T]/

[@CuriousMinion]

Sunbro!

[@Stoicbirch]

Praise the sun!

[@autosave7411]

Haha I designed that T-shirt facebook.com/AutoSaveArt

[@elliottsaunders4904]

Refresher yellows are lemon flavour lads!

[@deejayy2k]

loved going to woolies with my nan to get pick n mix weigh and save were really good as well as they did cinder toffee

[@HeyaImAlice]

Ashen's T-Shirt is just awesome. Praise the Sun!

[@frefification]

You two guys are munchie nostalgia gods!!, keep it rocking chaps, if I remember correctly that chocolatey goodness you was teasing me with is called "choc-lick" I remember devouring lbs of the stuff back in the day from a little sweet shop round my neck of the woods in Essex. It was a massive 20 pence a quater and worth every Pennie of my hard earned pocket money!!, how about trying to find the heaven for a Pennie "foaming strawberries " or maybe the two Pennie sweets "beer bottles" ??. Keep up the good works geeeeeeeeezzzzzzarrrrz!

[@BariRose]

Barry make Ashens' tongue black, Ashens got revenge by making Berry's white.

[@doordieace5high]

Alfgate That sounds so wrong. Lol.

[@hallowedsilence]

When I was a kid I remember the local Martin shop pick and mix had black Jacks that were always with the fruit salads and a spearmint chewie sweet.

[@Aqua_Toad]

OMG! You two are so cute! I love watching older videos :)

[@Swogmonglet]

The chocolate powder was called Choc-lick, and the bits were called Choc-nibs in the tuck shop on the way to school. I always loved Goggs, chocolate mice, iced cups, chocolate logs and flying saucers. Loved the video, brought back some memories :)

[@lolchocl]

One of my nostalgic sweets is definitely pear drops :D So good

[@darcymae1617]

Good to see ashen in using the sofa for its acual purpose ha ha go on lads love it

[@Suki261989]

The chocolate lumps in most sweet shops are known as chocolate nibs and the dust known as choco lick. The nibs are even nicer in the mint and orange flavours :)

[@Cerebro1983uk]

I used to like black jacks and fruit salads / refresher's / cola bottles / jelly rings and many others from when I was younger in the 80s 90s.

[@bloodgrrll]

the chocolate stuff reminds me of puppy chow. it's rice chex with melted chocolate all over them then add powdered sugar to keep them from sticking together. that stuff was amazing. you can even add peanut butter to the chocolate if you wanted to.

[@Joe90h]

One of the most nostalgic pick and mix sweets for me has got to be chocolate raisins. Mainly because Woolworths used to sell pick and mix by the cup size rather than by weight, so we would pour a load of chocolate raisins in and shake the cup and repeat until there was no more space.

[@dude59900]

Joe Homer go check out B and M stores. they do pick and mix by cup size

[@DarkPhoenix89]

Chocolate hundreds and thousands were nice too. They were exactly how they were described, white/milk chocolate covered in hundreds and thousands!

[@JofOblie]

That last one was my favourite as a kid! You can still get it here and there. Toffee Crumble, that's what we always called it! The shop opposite my school when I was a kid had a really tasty variety that tasted like ground up Twixes, but I've had them in other places and it's tasted kind of stale. It's entirely possible you got some lower quality toffee crumble!

[@8BitPicklez]

You mentioned a toothbrush version of them teeth sweets. They exist! They were called "Fungums" I believe and they came with teeth as well!

[@zuperzora89]

Oh man! Those chewy teeth was a part of the pick & mix candies when I was a kid too, but in Sweden! So I guess they were avaliable in several countries. Btw, pick & mix in Swedish is "Lösgodis" which directly translates to "loose candy" :D

[@Uruveilhobbit]

I'm pretty sure that I remember eating toothbrush shaped sweets, you used to get them in pre made 20p pic n mix bags from the garage near our house. (They almost always included the teeth and gummy lips too) ^^ Super excited to see Barry and Ashens do a new collab! Moar! :)

[@astrangeone]

Cola cubes sounds interesting. (We have cola bottle gummies, same idea as the cola cubes, but in the shape of cola bottles.) I'm curious about blackjacks - because I'm a licorice/aniseed nerd. Chocolate lumps look interesting. Chocolate powder and cookie crumbs...yum.

[@samwri1984]

Chocolate niblets were my fav too!!

[@crowzur6055]

Never heard of Pick and Mix. Assuming it's just a Party Mix down here in Australia.

[@mrbarrylewis]

quite possibly although that sounds way cooler

[@DogsBAwesome]

you pick sweets from separate bins to either weight or cup size in my young days only from Wollies

[@crowzur6055]

They've got the gummy teeth, banana gummy, milk bottles, and milk or fruit gummies, maybe some licorice.

[@crowzur6055]

Just google Allen's Party Mix, and you'll get the idea.

[@DeaconTaylor]

yeah its where you can make up your own bags of stuff. ive seen it at village cinemas, there's a chain called sugar station that does it too. its still around

[@TheSuicidalYeti]

"Praise The Sun", good choise!!

[@ehcopperage]

I absolutely loved the Chocolate nibbles and Blackjacks.

[@maximal10]

reminds me of going to the general store in the small rural community I grew up in and getting a small brown bag of penny candies, gummy worms, Swedish berries, small chocolate domes covered in candy sprinkles (for the life of me I can't remember the name) it was heaven. Here in the big city they have a similar style store called "Freak Lunchbox" but a more contemporary selection (I think I saw Curly Whirlies (sp) there once)

[@Sucaru667]

Watched for Barry & Ashens, stayed for the Dark Souls shirt. The Sunbro is strong with this one.

[@phils4634]

Chocolate dipped Brazil nuts did it for me, along with chocolate raisins (I was VERY addicted to chocolate raisins . . . .!)

[@jetdoggaming4694]

Once I was at school eating some starbusts and I was just chewing away(its a sweet from Britain that are really nice and chewy)and a tooth just popped out,but the first I thought wasn't "YEAH NOW MUM HAS TO GIVE ME MONEY!!!WOOHOOOO!!" it was"DAMM THIS WORLD,I was enjoying that"so yeah.I said cause of the Refreshers.

[@Hellforsa]

here in sweden we call these bags lösgodispåsar :)

[@mr.coolmug3181]

I love black jacks. I remember going into Londis with my mom as a kid and buying huge strips of black jack for 10p each. Good times.

[@animationguy1000]

I'm sorry, not trying to sound like a bigot or anything, I'm just genuinely curious. Your English I assume as you talk about buying sweets from Londis, yet you spell it "mom" not "mum"?

[@CoomBezi]

animationguy1000 I'm fairly sure the queen gets to kill him for treason now lol

[@mr.coolmug3181]

animationguy1000 Both spellings are wrong, it's short for mother. So i'm unconcerned. Maybe its because I come from Birmingham, so i'm saying it phonetically.

[@FireStormDel]

There's a pick and mix in the Burnley 99p Stores, I haven't had one in a while, mainly because they don't have the pineapple cubes and some fizzy candies they had in the range of selectables a long time I'd also like if they brought back the pineapple Old Jamacia drink. Though with the recent news of Poundland wanting to buy the 99p Stores brand, it might not be there for long anyway, and I'll be annoyed should they convert the store into a Poundland because in Burnley, there's already two of them, one in the middle of town, and the other near the ASDA we have.

[@adamjones4951]

I hate plain liquorice but love black jack sweets and these 2 guys go perfect in a collaboration video

[@eustacequinlank7418]

I just watched your other video and made a comment on Refreshers and Cola Cubes, so this made me rather happy. Though do you ever remember something called Rainbow Dust (not the stuff in tubes) sold in sweet shops? I think it was basically multi coloured dyed sugar you'd buy in a small white paper bag. You lick your finger, stick it in and then suck it off. That actually sounds a bit weird and kinky, but there you go.

[@ZalyBarzini]

DAMN YOU BARRY! Now I have to subscribe to you, and waste all my time watching your videos...Oh well,here we go!

[@Grimulkin]

Yay Barry I love you're vids! I cant wait for the next Giant Food! I realy want to see you guys do a giant Toblerone!

[@Cornish21Pasty]

My favourite pick 'n mix sweet has got to be the pink and blue sour bubblegum flavour cola bottles, right before the gummy snakes that were like a foot long

[@freya_1990]

The last ones were called choco nibbles xD loved them!

[@nazali42]

The yellows refresheste lemons laboured and the pink ones are strawberry flavoured

[@moakthar3153]

Loved this! Even added to my favourites ;)

[@KingFluffs]

I like those blocks of honey comb you can get from Whales.

[@wolfyboy]

they used (USED) to make small TOOTHBRUSHES out of the same stuff as the teeth. and you KNOW, EVERY kid would brush they're teeth with them, and THEN eat them. for MAXIMUM damange! XD lol i wonder why they stopped.... XD lol

[@KijinKitsunee]

Ah black jacks are amazing!!!!!

[@ukrpgfan4029]

Im down with man flu atm and Ive just watched all 39 episodes of the food specials back to back, taken me about 10 hours. Is that a good thing?? Really enjoyed it though. We call that bag of chocolate "Choc Lick" btw..in Lincolnshire. Dont know about all of Lincolnshire though..

[@jh221177]

Marriage made in heaven on KZbin Barry and ashens excellent!

[@ChloeC_89]

Bad idea to drink tea whilst watching this.. Kinda choked laughing lolol

[@marieholmes4048]

Chocolate nibs orange flavour are the best!

[@wakeup2theNWO]

refreshers are 🍋 flavour and they also do 🍓

[@Panzartar]

I didn't know Ashens is a sunbro! Praise the sun \[T]/

[@ManModeEngland]

The sweet at the end is toffee crumble is it not? :) I use to get it all the time!

[@samuelcarty7615]

The chocolate things are called Chocolate Nibs I think. The shop near my school used to sell them in a massive jar.

[@jackkilsby9195]

Hey Barry I believe the "rabbit poo" is called toffee crumble? Or at least that's what I know it as?!

[@gfunkin3d]

It's called choc lick!!!! I used to love that stuff

[@StealerOfSoles]

I ate like a whole box of 100 blackjacks in half a day... I love them

[@xlilkiki]

Ashens why are you so completely gorgeous

[@TenshiCat]

Those Refreshers bars taste amazing, but the last one I ate wrecked my teeth on the bottom right of my mouth and that ultimately resulted in me requiring a root canal - my dentist was indeed a happy man!

[@mariacox1488]

I love all of them accept from black jacks

[@friedspider8]

black jack lollys are amazing

[@Scytheraz]

Hey Barry, is it likely you or Stuart will ever do a fan meetup kind of thing? That'd be awesome!

[@mrbarrylewis]

you never know been asked that quite a bit recently

[@JamieTIdders]

Barry Lewis should go to mcm with Ashens

[@ShellyTheSeal]

Wish I could get these in the US

[@fionahope1216]

Refreshers are my favourite!!!! Can you make a giant one? :)

[@l_p25]

Sherbet Refreshers are Lemon flavour! I picked up a Strawberry one the other day because I love the chewiness with the sherbet... BUT THE STRAWBERRY ONES ARE SHERBETLESS! THE HORROR!

[@gordonsgoldengoat]

When I was a kid we used to call the chocolate stuff choc-lick not sure if that was just my area though. I grew up in South Wales btw

[@YRUACNT]

does anyone remember the peanut butter lumps with chocolate dust? tasted a bit like snickers. I also loved the chocolate buttons with hundreds & thousands stuck on top.

[@jessicaillidge9192]

The yellow refresher is lemon flavour

[@helenkelly1051]

i loved cola cubes and also pineapple chunks

[@xDavez0r]

We used to call the chocolate power Chocolate Lick, could be a north-east England regional thing though. You could get it with and without the chocolate lumps.

[@ChloeC_89]

The refresher is lemon flavour :)
