If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)
If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:

[@janebaker966]

Feast is number one for me. I only like Feast. Everything about Feast is right. The price,the chocolate flavour,the crunchiness. All good. My choice always. A lot of those ice cream treats I've never even heard of but I don't have kids so I rarely haunt the superstore ice cream freezer section. But I loathe Magnums. I've the ice cream is gungy tasting. I've always found that. Two,the chocolate is TOO THICK and the minute you bite into it it all cracks and falls off onto that ground in a big slice leaving you with almost none and not what you overpaid for.

I have never let my sister forget the day I bought 4 mars bar ice creams, popped them in the freezer for later, when I got back to the freezer, there was an empty box in the fridge, I called my sister out and she replaced them... only to eat 3 from the new box! It's criminal, and I am just glad to have the chance to call her out on the Internet.

[@chicha400]

A moment’s silence for the 7 mars bars ice creams eaten by your sister in cold (sorry couldn’t help myself) blood🫡. Reminds me of that one Christmas my brother ate my crunchie (easily my favourite) out of the milk tray my grandma used to get us. It was just a small crunchie, but 13 years have passed and no amount of indulging in honeycomb goodness will ever wash away the bitter aftertaste of such a soulless, merciless betrayal.

[@rachelcookie321]

If I had to sprint home then I already gave up. There was no way I was getting home, finding some coins, and getting back out there before the ice cream man was gone. I felt that disappointment too many times.

[@callummackinnon2900]

Ice cream rankings is a very weather dependant thing: If you just want to have an ice cream then the creamy/chocolatey ones are generally at the top with the icy/fruity ones ranked lower, but if it's a hot day then the icy/fruity ones move up and the creamy/chocolatey ones move down

Evan, not sure how long you've been consistently out of the states, but we had Magnum's in the states for 10 yrs or so. It's marketed as a premium ice cream bar.

[@danstratyt]

Magnum markets as premium over here as well but if you want posh ice cream you just buy actual ice cream

Cadbury's version of the Cornetto is definitely superior imo, and their Dairy Milk ice creams are really good too!

The flake ice cream. All the joy of a 99 with a chocolate waffle cone.

[@AlainnCorcaigh]

nah the Americans completely ruined Cadburys once they took it over

[@IceMetalPunk]

"Jimmies" is a very northern US word. I'm a Florida boy, and for a few months one summer I worked at Dairy Queen. A lady came in and asked for an ice cream with jimmies... I was so confused. I was like, "...excuse me, ma'am? With what now?" And she went, "Oh, I guess that's a northern thing. Sprinkles, then." Oh, you northerners and your silly slang 😜 Evan, you need to visit the States again, because we definitely have Magnum ice cream here! And they make some of the most delicious chocolate-covered raspberry ice cream bars 😋

[@twilightgeneral777]

Idk, I think it's just a Jersey thing. Living in NY I've never once heard someone say Jimmies instead of sprinkles

[@tomrogue13]

Not a thing in the Midwest either

[@evan]

It is very much a jersey thing

[@youarentreadingthisareyou]

​@twilightgeneral777 it's a new england thing as well. But in new england, jimmies refers to only chocolate sprinkles

[@andrew_ray]

If you want to buy hundreds and thousands at the store in the US, the proper name of the product is "nonpareil." Sprinkles and jimmies are the rod-shaped ones. As was mentioned already, in New England, sprinkles are always rainbow and jimmies are always chocolate. And to head it off before it gets brought up, the term "jimmies" has absolutely no etymological connection to Jim Crow, which is for some reason a popular myth that will not die.

I would call the frozen ones ice cream or ice lolly. A lolly is something with a wooden stick for me, like a popsicle. Also, nice to see Matt here. Twister is a classic for me, not the best but consistently very good.
