MILK DUDS ARE LIKE CHEWY CARAMEL/ CHOCOLATE CANDIES!! USA LOVES SOUR CANDY ASWELL!! So a lot of our candies are colorful, sweet, and sour. On the other spectrum, caramely, rich, chocolate, crunchy candies! Also a coke freestyle is a drink machine dispenser that lists and dispenses pop from the brand coca cola.

[@rachelkuzel9309]

a coke freestyle machine is not only in movie theaters but it's in a lot of different fast food restaurants as well. it has a bunch of categories of drinks owned by Coca Cola and then different flavors within. so for example, you can tap between coke or sprite or Minute Maid or sometimes Fanta or hi c and a bunch of other different categories (many including a light/zero option as well) and within that you can get different flavors. so you could for example not only get a coke, but once you clicked on the coke option it will let you choose between cherry or vanilla etc. it's wild

If that was the US no one would have even blinked twice

[@chlcrk]

I think the only other place I've seen a fizzy drink that big was the London Olympic Stadium, and it was somehow more expensive than a cinema. Which, no mean feat

[@xsietube]

The soda sizes in the states can be pretty massive but they also add a lot of ice. In much of Europe and the Uk, it seems you have to ask for ice. Whereas in the US, you have to ask for no ice.

@@xsietube Anywhere that does fountain soda generally gives you ice eg macdonalds and they will in a movie theatre but not many places even do fountain soda.

Okay I worked at AMC for about a decade as crew, then supervisor, then manager… One of the best things that ever happened is in my small town rural theater, a little boy with a British accent came up to me and asked for “more dressing” for his popcorn haha Also, we popped our popcorn with coconut oil and the buttery topping was flavored soybean oil. The menu at AMC was going to be pretty expansive at one point I was in a test market that was trying out the new feature fare menu and the amount of variation in hot dog toppings and hot food offerings (including chicken and waffle sandwiches and burgers) was pretty expansive.

[@tylerchance8642]

Oh also, the nacho cheese was pretty contentious. We had a brand for a long time and then amc switched to Tostitos and it was our biggest collective complaint all year with people claiming it tasted like vomit (it was pretty bad) so they developed a new formula and put it in the same containers as the old cheese that people used to love but I don’t think it ever tasted quite as good as it used to.

[@cnvdh3514]

The most expensive episode is food wars history and I'm 2 minutes into the video 😂

[@KirkNorthrop]

Odeon used to sell butter for popcorn many years ago. Well, it was called butter, but the bottle it came in was called "Butter biz - the biz without the butter", and was basically some sort of yellow vegetable oil with flavouring. The nacho cheese was notorious for eventually melting the little ladels used to serve them.

[@rachelay5040]

It’s still available in Ireland, I couldn’t believe you don’t have it in the UK!

[@EDGEproductions]

From someone that works in a UK cinema, i can tell you that a large popcorn costs the cinema less than 12p to make, and it is sold for around £6. It always amazes me how much people love the food (and think its worth the price) when its realistically worth so little.

[@Anonanonymous184]

That’s how cinemas make money without the pricing cinemas wouldn’t exist so if u enjoy going to the cinemas it’s worth it

[@edwardclements6102]

Haha when you said fresh popcorn I giggled. From a former odeon employee it’s not usually popped on site. 85% comes pre popped in this big bales and we just put it in the warmers. We did occasionally make fresh salted but only during weekends/holidays.

[@DFDamer71]

That’s so sad lol

[@cpeugh123ad]

US makes it fresh in front of the customer

[@LoveToday8]

I was so disgusted when I worked at a theater and discovered we had to warm up popcorn from the night before to serve to the first group of customers. We would do a fresh pop to give the lobby that fresh popcorn smell and then cover the old popcorn with the fresh. This wasn't an everyday thing because the goal is to sell as much popcorn as you can so there won't be leftovers

[@loganturner2061]

I'm from the UK and melted butter on popcorn is incredible

[@Pantsmode]

I am genuinely shocked the UK has Candyking (one of the biggest pick'n'mix brands ever). Until now, I was only used to seeing it in Nordic store shelves, especially in Finland, and was saddened when everyone else I knew outside the country didn't know about it. Candy pick'n'mix is very underrated imo, and should be everywhere, even if it's more effort and more expensive than just picking up a candy bag.

[@greengameinvader2474]

We also have occ we at the cineworld cinemas there are slot of cineworlds in Scotland I would highly recommend going to one if you get the chance the one in Glasgow is potentially the best but most people I know go to odeon also did cineworld not close down in America or a company with the same name… jees Louis I ranted

[@lizb.4967]

Building a pick-and-mix cup is a skill to fill as much as possible and force that lid on so you can pay the cup price (about £5-£8 depending on cup size) instead of pay by weight. I use millions to fill in any gaps in my layers.

[@variumi]

Yeah never bother with pick n’ mix if it’s paid by weight, the art of cramming as much as possible into a pick n’ mix cup gives you a better value and higher satisfaction

[@CptnBillHarris]

When I worked there as a kid we got a 40% discount so I think the large cup worked out at about €3 at the time. After I paid I weighed it, full price by weight it would have been like €22 if I recall correctly.

[@subifyouhatetiktokandreddit234]

[@TrevorSturman]

I used to work at an Odeon and with the drinks the drink itself was always the next size down but then just topped up with ice. Most also do a kids size one (which I think was 12 fl oz) and not many did the 44 fl oz one with 32 being the largest (not many cinemas do the 44 oz one unless it's just a London thing). With the Ice Blasts the red is Cherry and the blue is Blue Raspberry and you can also get other flavours such as Cola, Strawberry and Lime, Orange, Bubblegum (we do the latter two at the cinema I currently work at). Also before I left Odeon (which was about 7/8 years ago now) we started the "Load it Up" range which was being rolled out to other branches but this included the beef hotdogs, chips (and lattice fries), more nachos toppings than the standard Salsa and Cheese (guac and sour cream). Some branches will also have a fully operational bar and some a Costa Coffee, problem is many Odeons are different depending on the size of the store and the location

[@backstagewithcaitlin]

i used to work at a costa franchise in an odeon and would always get the lattice fries with nacho cheese!!! so good. i don't think they do them anymore

[@magnatemagic7391]

Watching this video and reading these comments make me grateful for the movie theater I have in my town. I live in a pretty small town comparing to cities around it and we rarely have anything entertaining. All we have is basically a bowling alley and a theater. But, that theater is amazing. It has fresh popped popcorn (they actually show it), not whatever cheap food that was in the video, and leather recliner seats. Also we got like a whole arcade in the common area. I recently went to a movie theater out of town because it was showing something that wasn't being shown at our theater and I never realized how good I had it, recliner seats easily make the experience better.

[@CezBambi93]

I live in UK and every odeon I've been to has had a costa store inside the cinema as its own separate section but still in the theatre premises so not an American exclusive 🤷‍♀

[@chlcrk]

I'm old enough to remember it not being a combined thing tbf, similarly to Cineworld having Starbucks on site at their cinemas. I guess it depends on how you class it given that it works as it's own separate entity

[@Salfordian]

The old Manchester Odeon had a few different outlets (printworks) inside until they renamed it VUE

[@crimsontheotter]

Well, it depends on the size of the odeon. The nearest Odeon to me (Dorchester) is quite a small cinema with only 3 screens and, unfortunately, does not have enough room to fit any other food or coffee outlets in it.

[@chlcrk]

@@crimsontheotter That's fair enough. I went to one in Hastings a few years ago and that was very small with barely any space for Odeon's own food spots, let alone third party ones like Costa. Bit of a comparison to a local one to me in Milton Keynes, which is a ginormous 11 screen place inc. 1 IMAX and several 4K HD ones plus a Costa and massive snack counter

[@ffyrestarr]

Yeah Odeon in Trowbridge and Bath both have a separate but connected Costa on site so you can get a coffee and take to cinema or just go to the Costa. The Trowbridge cinema also has a small bar in the foyer so you can get a drink to take to the cinema or just have a drink while waiting or after.

It’s always interesting when marketing techniques call medium “regular”, encouraging you to at least get a medium. Since it sounds standard, small would appear to be giving you less than “normal” and large is only 1 size up in your mind from baseline, vs 2 sizes up from small. Clever!

[@sherrydanson5725]

I worked at several different cinema chains in Canada. Here you can pay for real butter. It was basically butter in a plastic Icecream tub that we had to melt in a warmer everyday. Otherwise the free stuff the butter topping is actually a butter flavoured oil. You couldn’t pay me to eat it. It used to be becel margarine that came in a big jug and looked like liquid foam before heated. Best thing I ever learned is that day old heated popcorn actually tastes better than fresh popped ( we only ever pre popped for big rentals so it was maybe 12 hours old but we often would blind taste fresh and the pre popped and everyone always like the older popcorn more but it had to warmed back up first)

At 5:15 you showed the wrong type of smarties and also our KitKats look different

[@KhoufOfficial]

all of that food probably cost the same as rent for a 2 bed apartment in london

[@desimonium]

In Canada, it’s a mix. When you go to a Cineplex, we’ve got Sour Patches, Buttered Popcorn, Skittles, and Hagen Das like the the U.S. But we also have Maltesers, better Nachos, and alcohol like the U.K. We also have better slices of pizza, poutine, Reeses Pieces, Hershey products, and Maynard’s Fuzzy Peach! 😎🇨🇦

[@linnea547]

Pick and Mix is common all over Sweden. We even have the same brand. It’s in convenience stores, cinemas, grocery stores, gas stations…pretty much anywhere.

[@tanaka7341]

This series makes me happy x

[@GrahamPlays]

Cooking with Harry was delightful.

[@AmeerahMuhammad]

You guys are still missing a LOT from the AMC menu. We have a full menu at the AMCs in my city that have burgers, shakes, chicken tenders, etc. Our AMCs also serve alcohol.

[@jonathanthegreat2008]

THEY ARE BACK BABY!!!!!JOEY AND HARRY! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤❤ I’ve missed you!

[@Mrfedy_faber87]

IMCRYING cookign with harry and him making the nachos was probably the best foodwars moment ever=

[@XxCactusGalxX]

It must be so fun getting to eat all the yummy foods 😂 lol

[@relicshield6977]

5:17 wrong kind of Smarties.

[@PacificCoastRoleplay1]

I’m from the uk and I LOVE buttered popcorn. I get a bowl of melted butter and dip each popcorn in so they all are even covered.

[@soccerkingdom1721]

As a former AMC manager I can tell you AMC stopped using melted butter over a decade ago. Almost 2 decades. Melted butter hardens quickly as it cools and proved too messy and time consuming. What they use is an oil based product that has butter flavoring mixed in for the topping. For popping they use coconut oil and a scoop of butter flavored salt.

[@adb1917]

I do miss the days when a movie theatre didn’t double as a restaurant. Snacks are ok but nobody should be ordering a full pizza pie and taking it into a movie. It kind of ruins the experience. Can you imagine sitting next to someone trying to assemble a giant box of nachos with 24 separate pieces? I can’t. Not in a way that doesn’t result in violence

[@BendiFaguette]

I’ll never forget how upset one of my little cousins got when he found out we don’t have Ribena in the U.S. little kid was maaaad! 😂

[@ffyrestarr]

Isn't finding anything blackcurrant flavoured difficult in the State's anyway due to that very long ago issue with the crop?

[@CptnBillHarris]

Funnily enough in Ireland Odeon is the only cinema chain to offer "butter". It's actually a butter flavoured oil called Butterbiz with the slogan "All the biz, without the butter"

[@NY_7]

Im lucky enough to have an AMC theater in the mall near me and connected to the mall is a Target and the mall also has a big food court with all types of food. Since the movie theater snacks are always so expensive I just go to target and get my candy. Or if I want something more filling I can go to the Wendy's in the food court and get something and sneak it in. The one thing I do like getting from the AMC theater is the ICEE, so ill get one of those usually.

[@jessgray6334]

My jaw literally dropped when the cheese fell out onto the nachos🤣

[@outside8312]

That was not a picture of smarties 🤨

[@emmasmith8404]

CandyKing (the brand on the pick and mix cup) is actually Swedish. The concept of pick and mix is actually called lösgodis and is originally from here but it is also popular in the rest of the nordic countries. Rekorderlig is also Swedish!

[@user-yf8lb4hf2c]

“Jalopanos”…. I ❤HIS PRONUNCIATION!!!!

[@jqon813]

i enjoy watching harry & joe together--but i can't explain why!

[@orientalmoons]

As others have said, wrong kind of Smarties, but also wrong looking Kit Kat (also the American version I guess?). I wasn't sure what Joe meant when he was talking about Coaster coffee. Most people around where I live in the UK say Cost-a with a short o, as in it Costs a lot.

[@bu_lai_ke]

How the british guy pronounces jalapenos killed me with cringe 😭 how has my fellow Brit failed me 😭🤣💀

[@BeardedCollectables]

Me and my mum would always say they call it Costa because it cost a lot of money 😂

[@duchenefan]

​@@bu_lai_ke pretty sure he was joking...

[@bu_lai_ke]

@@duchenefan it didn't seem like it to me and he's mispronounced loads of stuff over the years 🤷 I'm not that bothered it honestly, it was just like nails on a chalkboard hearing it off guard 🤣🤣🤣

[@mgthestrange9098]

Yeah, Costa fortune! 😂

[@alejandroramirez4470]

it's an oil also used in fast food restaurants for adding butter flavor. For example, chick fil a eggs are cooked in this oil on a griddle.

[@LoveToday8]

The butter on the side is wild and this is coming from someone who likes "butter flavored topping" on my popcorn. Side note: my first job was at a movie theater. I absolutely love popcorn and not even braces could stop me from enjoying popcorn on the clock.

[@Escapewithjade]

I will never take odeon nacho slander. I’m in Northumberland UK and our odeon has some niceeeeeee nachos, they weren’t served like that at all. It is the nicest plastic nacho cheese ever and the guac is actually super decent.

[@Trippintrees]

Nothing, literally nothing can match the joy of having a samosa in a movie theatre!

[@wobaguk]

Im old enough to to remember that UK cinemas only used to do sweet popcorn, and salty was just some weird thing I knew americans did through appearance in movies and TV. The salted option seemed to come in with the multiscreen 'out of town' cinemas that cropped up in the late 80's. Come to think of it, ALL cinema food was sweet at the time, ice cream, candy etc.

[@Romafood]

Great! 😄👏

[@HarmlessBongo0]

As a proud UK resident, I have more or less eaten everything at odeon
