​@@getin3949 The original digestives helped you digest, hence the name, and are less unhealthy, but adding chocolate defeat the purpose. Still, it probably helps people digest things.

[@BLU3D4Y]

​@@OriginalFart I always thought Digestive meant be easily digested but not actually helping digestion issue 🤔 Does it really help with indigestion?

[@kimberlypatton9634]

I think that's why ,in the USA in particular..we tend to specifically categorize between breads,rolls,biscuits(puffy breads) ,then crackers - made mostly of a flour base(but may have flavorings that are not in themselves with a sweetness) and then from "cookies"- which usually have sweetness,flooring ,icing or chocolate coverings or fillings .There are always exceptions,however,such as vanilla wafers and graham crackers for example.I think that's what confuses most Brits and Americans basically about each other's terminologies....our eating traditions and descriptives.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

We reserve the word cracker purely for _savoury_ biscuits. People will often have a snack of eg 'cheese and crackers' part way through the evening if they've dined early, or if eating out, people may choose 'cheese and biscuits' instead of a pudding at the end of their meal. A biscuit here is any sweet baked, crisp or crunchy item, baked from a dough. Cookies however are soft - you can _bend_ them. You cannot bend British biscuits, they'd snap in two!

I'm from Mexico and I have never had tea with milk, as in, I didn't even know there were people out there who actually drink tea with milk so I'm shocked. I only ever drink tea to help me relax or fall asleep, what we drink with cake or biscuits is coffee.

[@iambenjaminwild]

Yeah we have milk with only black tea though

[@rachelk4805]

So I am in America and I drink valerian, peppermint or chamomile tea to fall asleep or relax, without milk. I drink black tea of any kind with milk and never to sleep because it's caffeinated...

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EARLY EVEN FOR MY CLASSES LOL

Josh: "If a biscuit does crumble a bit into your tea, do you still drink the tea?" Biscuit: *and so I took that personally*

[@sanghoonlee5171]

We don't have nearly enough biscuit variety in Korea. We have all sorts of bagged goodies, but simple biscuits somehow just elude us.

[@katchmeifyoucan1131]

Fig rolls are "Fig Newtons" here. I could happily eat an entire sleeve!

[@chrisholds1]

Thanks for describing what the different biscuits are. I live in a part of the USA (West Coast, San Francisco Bay Area) that has plenty of shops & stores that carry many different types of biscuits from the UK, but I've hesitated in buying some because I wasn't quite sure what I'd be getting myself into.

[@ashbunny2645]

Ollie, there can never be tooooooo many biccies! You need choices, options, multiples lol

Biscuits turn soft when they go stale, cakes turn hard. So, jaffa cakes are cakes.

[@Kasemei]

But what about crabcakes?

[@dglthrawn1]

Yep. I think the manufacturers went to court to decide it. The result was that they are cakes.

[@caroleberreur9585]

oh, an opened biscuit packet that has turned soft is an abomination to eat, especially if you were looking forward to your newly found snack.

[@blueraineee]

as someone who lives in sg, i eaten a lot of those snacks since we have them at marks and spencer. They are always by far the best biscuits I ever had from! I eat shortbreads and it's by far my favourite out of all.

[@cosmicblue529]

Biscuits and Tea is a good combo but a cuppa tea and a packet of Jaffa Cakes is my go-to!

[@maryennis1169]

The best biscuits/cookies to dip in tea are gingersnaps. Perfect combo. We have the fig biscuits in the US. Fig Newtons are a classic. The cookie with the marshmallow and chocolate is also a classic -- Mallowmars. Regional names for this cookie are whippets, krembos and pinwheels.

The immaculate similarities between this tea culture of England and India (mostly in West Bengal), just awed me. I, sitting on the sofa of a small town of West Bengal felt them totally. This is just kinda amazing. I love this afternoon tea-biscuit time. Best.😌♥️

[@sheezarai9066]

It's just that the British culture is so imbibed in our Indian culture... ✨

[@vin2164]

@@sheezarai9066 I mean they got tea from us so I think it was an equivalent exchange

[@sammyttiw4762]

That's the final straw. I'm going out to get some digestives.

[@josephwong5859]

Those “reason to be jolly” is so nice to watch every time after the wonderful EP 😂😂

[@leosaus]

My favourite thing about this video is that it's so light-hearted and funny, but then there's Josh's urn constantly in the background

[@eugenedanker2377]

Shopping at a local grocery yesterday I saw a British foods section.

[@hacutiepie]

josh somehow looks really similar to a young professor that's ready to go to work and surprisingly, ollie looks like a lazy college student that just woke up

Google Notification : JOLLY UPLOADED... *puts everything down and clicks with glee

[@ME-le6hp]

5:38 What are you like 3yrs old? 😆🤣 I miss Juno!! 주노도 strawberry yogurt 좋아하나요? 주노 보고 싶어요~♡

[@catcastle4377]

I love digestives! It was a discovery and I'm I could buy them now at grocery stores in the Philippines

[@teai2103]

I start to believe Olly is Bulgarian somehow 😅 very attentive, good with languages (spoken only!) and biscuits with yogurt is our favorite baby food😍
