  • Harry: From calorie count to portion sizes,

  • we wanted to find out all the differences

  • between Oreos in the UK and the US.

  • This is "Food Wars."

  • Hey, everyone. Joe from "Food Wars."

  • I will not be partaking in this episode of Oreos

  • because me and the team are busy shooting

  • a new season of "Food Wars" with a new country.

  • That's right, coming soon to you

  • it's going to be "Food Wars" US versus [beep].

  • While we're working hard on that, Irene, of course,

  • is going to step in over there in New York.

  • I will, however, stick around for this episode

  • and make smart-alecky comments because that's my brand.

  • In the UK, Oreos come in four serving sizes.

  • As a lunch-box pack of two,

  • as a standard pack of 14,

  • as a twin pack of 28,

  • and as an open and share pack of 36.

  • In the US, classic Oreos come in six serving sizes.

  • As a two-cookie snack pack,

  • as a six-cookie snack pack,

  • as a king-size 10-cookie snack pack,

  • as a classic pack of 36 cookies,

  • as a family-size pack of 48 cookies,

  • and, finally, as a party-size pack of 63 cookies.

  • The cookies themselves are supposed to weigh

  • the same amount in both countries, 11 grams.

  • We're going to weigh one and find out if that's true.

  • 12.4 grams.

  • We're going to do the scientific method.

  • We're going to test a second cookie

  • in case there's any disparities.

  • Yeah, 11.4.

  • You know what, I bet it's the frosting.

  • This one's 11.8 grams.

  • Yeah, this one's 11.5.

  • So the average weight is 11.8 grams.

  • So, our UK Oreo weighed 11.09 grams.

  • Pretty much spot on what they promised us.

  • The portion sizes aren't the only thing

  • that's different between our Oreos.

  • The US also has more Oreo size options.

  • There are the mini Oreos,

  • then five stuff options:

  • Oreo thins,

  • classic Oreo,

  • Double Stuf,

  • Mega Stuf,

  • and then The Most Stuf.

  • I didn't know The Most Stuf existed.

  • I thought we ended it at Double Stuf.

  • We kept going.

  • I have an idea.

  • I don't know why they haven't done this,

  • 'cause the Stuf is what everybody wants,

  • at least in America.

  • Oreo needs to invent Just Stuf.

  • It is a sandwich cookie: Stuf, Stuf, Stuf.

  • Check it out!

  • Just Stuf Oreos.

  • Perfect. That's all I want.

  • Whereas our options are minis, thins, classic,

  • or Double Creme.

  • For some some reason we call them Double Creme over here

  • and not Double Stuf.

  • How much Stuf are we actually getting?

  • Let's dissect a classic Oreo.

  • 2.52 grams.

  • We're committing to 3.2 grams.

  • Is a Double Stuf Oreo actually giving you

  • double the Stuf?

  • Let's find out.

  • Oh, look at that precision.

  • Earlier was 3.2.

  • So this is 6.

  • That came to 6.13 for us.

  • They got a little bit more. That never happens!

  • [gasps]

  • So, in the UK, Double Creme Oreos

  • actually give you 143% more filling than the classic Oreo.

  • While a US Double Stuf has 87.5% more Stuf

  • than a classic Oreo.

  • I want to know how much the Most Stuf weighs.

  • Oh, wow.

  • This is excessive.

  • So, the Most Stuf weighs 11.2 grams,

  • which is a 250% increase from the classic.

  • It's very stabbable.

  • I'm gonna DIY my own giant Oreo.

  • I don't know if it's gonna fit in my mouth, but.

  • Harry Makes the World's Largest Oreo -- ASMR.

  • 11.

  • It is about 3 inches. Ish.

  • It's falling apart, much like me.

  • You know what has to happen now.

  • I mean, come on.

  • "Had to happen"?

  • "Had to happen," Harry?

  • This had to happen?

  • I'm gonna squeeze it down.

  • There we go.

  • Yo!

  • [crew clapping]

  • God, you need the biscuit, really.

  • Yeah, as you can see, maybe,

  • maybe all that stuffing at once is not a good idea.

  • Here are all of the UK Oreo products

  • that you won't find in the US.

  • Here are all the Oreo products in the US

  • you won't find in the UK.

  • Oreo lends its brand name to a lot of products.

  • So we're going to split this into sections,

  • starting with the cookies.

  • That's nothing compared to us.

  • We have 20 exclusive Oreo cookie flavors in the US.

  • We have two exclusive classic Oreos in the UK,

  • starting with these ones, which are strawberry cheesecake.

  • Can't figure out --

  • ooh.

  • It's very good.

  • Then we have this one,

  • which is a chocolate brownie batter flavor.

  • The flavor of the chocolate filling

  • kind of gets lost in just the chocolate cookie flavor.

  • Peanut butter flavor cream. Creme?

  • I do think some people put peanut butter on their Oreos,

  • so maybe that's where this came from.

  • The Mega Stuf.

  • 'Cause Double Stuf was simply not enough for us.

  • Like, honestly, though, I can appreciate this,

  • 'cause I always want more of the frosting.

  • But this is kind of ridiculous, isn't it?

  • We have gluten-free Oreos.

  • Lemon flavor creme Oreos.

  • This seems like a golden Oreo with lemon filling.

  • It has the Oreo structure,

  • but it's like a whole completely different flavor profile,

  • so it tastes really good.

  • [beeps]

  • [screams]

  • Oreos are too popular in this country.

  • We don't need this many flavors.

  • [beeps]

  • As we move through this section,

  • you're going to notice a bit of a Cadbury theme,

  • because Cadbury and Oreo seem to have partnered up

  • on quite a few products.

  • The first one we have here is a Cadbury-coated Oreo.

  • Now, these are just basic Oreos,

  • but then covered in Cadbury chocolate,

  • which, as we all know,

  • is much better than American chocolate.

  • They're so good, but so bad for you.

  • Then, after that, we have these little bags

  • of Oreo crunchy bites.

  • These come as either classic or as dipped versions.

  • I'm not really sure how they differ

  • from just classic mini Oreos,

  • so I'm gonna open a bag and find out.

  • Is that not just a mini Oreo

  • that they've rebranded?

  • In my left hand, I'm holding an Oreo crunchy bite.

  • In my right hand, I'm holding a mini Oreo.

  • The only notable difference is maybe

  • that the mini Oreo has slightly more filling.

  • I feel like this is just an excuse to sell you

  • maybe even less stuffed mini Oreos

  • at a more expensive price point.

  • Companies can't get away with this anymore

  • now that "Food Wars" exists.

  • Chocolate hazelnut.

  • This is basically like if you put Nutella in an Oreo.

  • Caramel coconut.

  • I think you would like this if you like caramel.

  • Chocolate marshmallow.

  • Ooh, I think this one does have something on the biscuit.

  • That's different.

  • Oh, it's on the inside.

  • I thought it would be on the outside.

  • That'd be more fun, but.

  • Yeah, you get the chocolate flavor,

  • but I don't think the marshmallows really come through.

  • [beeps]

  • Is anyone even eating these?

  • I have never seen a single person

  • buy any of these flavored ones.

  • So this feels like a conspiracy.

  • [beeps]

  • We have the java chip.

  • Supposedly there'll be little chocolate chips.

  • This is good. This reminds me of, like,

  • a Starbucks java chip Frappucino, honestly.

  • Dark chocolate.

  • The original was just simply not chocolaty enough for you.

  • It matches the biscuit.

  • OK, I'm actually really excited about this one.

  • They're Olympic Oreos!

  • Aah!

  • I'm one of those people who is like,

  • I could have been an Olympian

  • if my parents had just loved me enough to, you know,

  • make it my entire life and forced me to do it.

  • You know, as if that's all it takes.

  • "Red, white, and blue layers of cream with popping candy."

  • Oh, these layers are so uneven.

  • It's funny.

  • You see this? It's like ...

  • A while ago, they had special Fourth of July ones

  • that had, like, sparklers or something,

  • and it was basically the same thing, the popping candy.

  • I feel like they're kind of just reusing this.

  • Oh, wait, this is cool too.

  • It has the Olympic circles and the American flag.

  • You know, the best part about the Olympics this year

  • has just been all the Olympians on TikTok,

  • and then also how funny it is that everyone's like,

  • "We're only patriotic about how funny and hot they are."

  • If any Olympians are watching this,

  • I am in fact single. Thank you.

  • When did "Food Wars" become Irene's dating app?

  • She didn't say which Olympians, though.

  • So, like, the Canadian curling team's coming after her.

  • So watch out.

  • The next one, which is still kind of a cookie,

  • are these Cadbury Crunchy Melts Oreo Creme.

  • Now, these are kind of big,

  • more traditional chocolate chip cookies,

  • but then filled with a layer of Oreo creme.

  • I will say the packaging made me expect a lot more

  • of the Oreo creme in the middle there.

  • It's a very, very thin layer.

  • I'm really disappointed by that.

  • I was -- I had high hopes for these.

  • The texture of the cookie is way off.

  • Ooh, salted caramel brownie Oreos.

  • They're really just turning every possible dessert

  • into an Oreo at this point.

  • But, again, I have never seen a single person

  • buy one of these.

  • If you are someone who buys these, please let me know.

  • 'Cause I think it's a conspiracy at this point.

  • Ooh, this one also is a double layer.

  • We have a light brown layer and a dark brown layer.

  • Ooh, and then there's salt on the biscuit.

  • They really elevated this one.

  • It's like a gourmet Oreo.

  • I actually really like the salt on the biscuit.

  • It comes together really nicely.

  • Again, this is weird.

  • Carrot cake. Who thought of this?

  • Carrot cake's hard to get right.

  • Tastes like ginger with just, like, nice icing.

  • So I actually like these,

  • but that's 'cause they don't taste

  • like the advertised flavor.

  • [beeps]

  • I'm doing really bad, Shirley.

  • I'm trying not to cry, I think?

  • I'll be alive.

  • I don't think the Oreos will kill me.

  • Actually, the Oreos might kill me!

  • I can't believe this is what's gonna take me out.

  • It's gonna be the Oreos.

  • [beeps]

  • Chocolate peanut butter pie.

  • How many variations of chocolate peanut butter do we need?

  • I will say, they are creative, right?

  • It's not like they just, like, blast it with flavors

  • and it looks the same.

  • At least they look fun.

  • [beeps]

  • I thought the Oreos would make me feel better.

  • They made me feel worse.

  • I was betrayed by the Oreos.

  • [beeps]

  • Limited-edition s'mores.

  • Graham-flavored cookies.

  • These are the golden Double Stuf Oreos.

  • It's literally the non-chocolate version of a regular Oreo.

  • Aah.

  • I have an announcement to make.

  • Golden Oreos are the best Oreo.

  • That's right, the best.

  • These are the best.

  • Look at me.

  • Look at me, YouTube commenters.

  • This is the best Oreo there is.

  • I have access to the Food Insider YouTube page,

  • and I will delete your comments if you disagree with me.

  • This is the best Oreo.

  • Amazing.

  • So, there's also three fudge-covered flavors,

  • classic, dark chocolate, and mint.

  • There's also these Oreo thin bites

  • in original and white fudge.

  • So these are basically mini Oreos covered in chocolate.

  • And, of course, the Oreo ID,

  • which are customizable Oreos.

  • We decided to decorate it with white sprinkles

  • and put Joe's face on it since we missed him this episode.

  • I guess you could call them

  • J'oreos. [drum sting]

  • That's such a good idea!

  • Why don't we have that?

  • That's such a funny, like, party gift, wedding favor.

  • Just a lot of potential there,

  • and I kind of wish we had that.

  • Look, it's Joe!

  • "Ha, ha, ha, ha.

  • I'm in LA, and I eat food and do things,

  • and I have a podcast."

  • I don't have a podcast.

  • I am the last human being on the planet to have a podcast.

  • Comment below what my podcast should be

  • and who I should have on it.

  • Sorry, Joe. I'm gonna cut your face in half.

  • I didn't think I would be saying this of all people.

  • It's just a lot of sugar.

  • It's too much sugar.

  • Yeah, I don't want these.

  • Joe, you can have them.

  • All right, let's take a look at these.

  • Yeah, these don't taste like Oreos.

  • These aren't very good.

  • Sorry. I taste terrible, apparently.

  • Then we have a section I'm really excited for,

  • which is the frozen dessert section.

  • We'll start with these, which are Oreo ice creams

  • with an Oreo cookie coating.

  • Ooh.

  • Hm.

  • It's not the best ice cream I've ever had.

  • Very sweet and a bit, like, foamy.

  • OK, the cone's pretty good.

  • I'd say this would maybe get better the more you go down.

  • I think less of the ice cream on the top,

  • and more of the cone.

  • The next ice cream option is this one,

  • which is the Oreo ice cream with Oreo biscuit pieces.

  • In the UK, we can also just get a tub

  • of Oreo-branded ice cream.

  • Now, ones which I've had before

  • and can tell from experience are very good

  • are these ones, which are the Oreo ice cream sandwiches.

  • Mm.

  • Then we're back to the Cadbury partnership

  • with these Cadbury-coated stick sandwiches.

  • Our Oreo desserts in the US include

  • Breyers Oreo Chips Ahoy ice cream

  • and Friendly's Oreo cookies ice cream cake.

  • What!

  • See, this is a good dessert combo.

  • This makes sense.

  • You're adding the Oreos to an existing thing.

  • Wow.

  • Ugh, ice cream cakes are always so hard to cut.

  • Cake!

  • [crowd gasps]

  • Ta-da.

  • And we weren't able to get these,

  • but there's also Klondike Oreo ice cream sandwiches,

  • Good Humor Oreo ice cream bars,

  • and Good Humor Oreo cones.

  • Then we have a bunch of exclusive chocolate options,

  • which are, again, mostly Cadbury.

  • This one is a dairy milk Oreo sandwich.

  • This one is also available in the form of Cadbury bites,

  • which is just bite-sized pieces of their chocolate bars.

  • Then we're on to the one in the middle,

  • which is the Cadbury Big Taste Oreo crunch bar.

  • If milk chocolate isn't your thing,

  • then they also have a Cadbury Oreo white chocolate bar.

  • Our final chocolate bar is this one,

  • which is an Oreo Milka Mmmax chocolate bar.

  • Milka is just a slightly different chocolate brand

  • here in the UK.

  • Then we have a couple of options for baked goods,

  • including this Oreo muffin and this Oreo doughnut.

  • I mean, if that counts as a filling,

  • again, a little bit underwhelming.

  • I know I ate that from the bottom, like a psychopath.

  • I don't do that all the time.

  • This end bit looks slightly filled.

  • They put it on the box.

  • It's supposed to look like this.

  • That's what you call false advertising.

  • If you're going to go for one of these,

  • probably go for the muffin.

  • Then we have a couple more miscellaneous products

  • just to round out.

  • Here are our miscellaneous Oreo items.

  • We have the ready-to-bake pie crust.

  • And then the instant pudding pie filling mix,

  • which is cookies and cream flavored.

  • So these go together.

  • This is the no-bake Oreo dessert kit,

  • which is basically these two items in a box.

  • The first one is this,

  • which is a Cadbury Oreo hot chocolate powder.

  • Now, I'm fascinated by this one

  • because when I was buying it on the website,

  • it had loads of one-star reviews saying it tasted horrible,

  • so obviously we now have to try it.

  • I'm going to use my colleague Charlie's wonderful mug,

  • which I think he got in a charity shop,

  • which is celebrating the marriage of a couple

  • who we don't know.

  • Buchi and Wumi, if you're watching this,

  • I hope you've had a happy marriage.

  • Four heaped teaspoons of the powder

  • into your boiling water,

  • which is what I have in here,

  • and we should end up with a delicious

  • Oreo-flavored hot chocolate.

  • So let's go.

  • Now I'm just gonna stir for about 40 minutes

  • and then see what we end up with.

  • [beeps]

  • Protect me, Buchi and Wumi.

  • [coughs]

  • Wow, OK. Um.

  • The immediate taste you get is chocolate,

  • which you expect,

  • but then, like, a second after every sip,

  • something just kind of punches you in the face,

  • and it's not very pleasant.

  • Moving swiftly on from the hot chocolate,

  • we have this, which is an Oreo split-pot yogurt.

  • Yes, it's pronounced "yaugh-gurt" and not "yo-gurt."

  • Get it right.

  • Do Americans haveller corners?

  • Because I ate those all the time growing up in the UK,

  • and this is the exact style they've gone for.

  • Basically, it's like a split-pot thing

  • where half of it is yogurt,

  • and then a little corner of it is a topping of some kind,

  • the idea then being that you just crack this

  • and deposit all the toppings in.

  • This really does take me back.

  • I would have some kind ofller corner

  • in most of my pack lunches

  • when I was in primary school.

  • That's really tasty.

  • And then last but by no means least

  • we have these, which are Oreo O's.

  • Now, it's an Oreo-themed breakfast cereal,

  • and it comes with these chocolaty loops

  • and then some vanilla-flavored disks.

  • We have the Oreo cereal,

  • and these look like the UK version,

  • but without the white puffs.

  • And then we also have Funfetti brownie mix, cake mix,

  • and frosting with Oreo pieces.

  • And, lastly, these are the Oreos Handi-Snacks,

  • Oreo cookie sticks and cream.

  • Oh, my God, no.

  • These look like --

  • you know those cheese and cracker snacks?

  • This looks like the Oreo version.

  • Oh, my God.

  • Oh, it looks disgusting.

  • There's, like, a pool of oil or something right there.

  • Here are all the ingredients in a classic Oreo

  • in the UK.

  • That makes a total of at least 18 ingredients,

  • possibly more if multiple flavorings are used.

  • Here are all the ingredients in a classic Oreo in the US.

  • That comes to a total of at least 17 ingredients,

  • again dependent on the flavorings used.

  • So a UK Oreo actually contains

  • more ingredients than a US Oreo.

  • The UK has a few ingredients not found in the US.

  • Take sunflower lecithin,

  • which they use in addition to soy lecithin.

  • Some people prefer to use sunflower lecithin,

  • as it's extracted naturally via cold pressing,

  • whereas soy lecithin tends to be extracted using chemicals

  • such as acetone, like in nail-polish remover.

  • Soybeans are also more commonly

  • genetically modified than sunflowers,

  • and concerns over this have also driven people

  • away from soy and towards sunflower

  • as their preferred source of lecithin.

  • In the US, we use high-fructose corn syrup in our Oreos,

  • compared to the UK's glucose and fructose syrup.

  • You'll see this in a lot of American products,

  • as it's a cheaper alternative to actual sugar

  • as a result of the US producing a huge amount of corn

  • and tariffs on imported sugar.

  • There's limited evidence that suggests

  • that high-fructose corn syrup is worse for you

  • than normal sugar.

  • Nations which use it tend to have

  • higher rates of Type 2 diabetes

  • than those that don't.

  • What about Oreos with some more controversial ingredients?

  • Like birthday cake, for example.

  • In the UK, we actually call those birthday party Oreos,

  • but they are effectively the same thing.

  • In the UK, we color the sprinkles with spirulina extract,

  • red beet juice, and turmeric extract.

  • Whereas in the US, we color our sprinkles with

  • Yellow 5, Blue 1, Red 40, and Red 3.

  • Fans of "Food Wars" will recognize Yellow 5 and Red 40

  • as two food colorings not often seen in the UK.

  • If they are used in the UK,

  • manufacturers have to add a warning

  • that they, "May have an adverse effect on activity

  • and attention in children."

  • We love our artificial and potentially dangerous

  • food colorings over here.

  • Red 3 is actually one

  • I don't think we've seen before on "Food Wars."

  • It's otherwise known as erythrosine,

  • and it's a dye used to give foods a reddish-pink color.

  • It's not commonly used in the US,

  • with manufacturers usually opting for Red 40 instead.

  • The reason for its low popularity

  • is its association with certain health effects.

  • It was partially banned in the US in 1990

  • after research showed that it caused cancer in rats.

  • Its use is restricted in the European Union

  • due to the same concerns.

  • While the European Food Safety Authority

  • did say that humans weren't at quite the same risk

  • of tumors that rats were,

  • they still set a limit of 0.01 milligrams

  • per kilogram of body weight per day for human consumption.

  • As a result, the only food that Red 3 can be used in

  • in the EU is candied cherries.

  • It's not banned in the US, but it is restricted.

  • It can be added to foods,

  • but it can't be put in cosmetics or external drugs.

  • So you can put it in your body, but not on your body.

  • Other things to look out for in the US

  • include the carrot cake Oreos, which contain caramel color.

  • According to the state of California,

  • a byproduct of this can cause cancer,

  • birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

  • The UK's Oreo is actually healthier in every metric

  • other than saturated fat, where the two are tied.

  • Classic Oreos aren't too unhealthy,

  • except for the sugar content.

  • You would only have to eat 11 US Oreos

  • to hit your entire daily sugar allowance,

  • which is just under a third of your daily calories.

  • What about the least healthy Oreo in each country?

  • Well, in the UK, it's the Cadbury-coated Oreo.

  • Here's the nutritional information for just one of them.

  • If you eat just five of these,

  • you consume 98% of your daily sugar

  • and 55% of your daily saturated fat.

  • And I'm pretty sure if I started eating these,

  • I would be eating more than five.

  • Our least healthy Oreo?

  • It's the fudge-covered dark chocolate Oreo.

  • Five of these cookies would be

  • 110% of your daily sugar allowance

  • as well as 112.5% of your daily saturated fat.

  • I don't know if I want to eat these.

  • These are aggressive.

  • I feel like Joe could probably eat, like, the entire box.

  • I'll try one.

  • It says "mmm."

  • I don't feel "mmm."

  • We don't need to cover everything with chocolate.

  • [sighs]

  • Something about this seems wrong.

  • It actually is good. Very chocolaty.

  • It tastes -- oh, my God, the filling is chocolate too!

  • Joe can have these.

  • Joe, you can eat these.

  • Irene, I don't want those.

  • Don't send them over here.

  • Off to LA!

  • Ah, there.

  • No, thanks.

  • Well, the monster,

  • the monster one was 11 Double Stufs,

  • so that's, like, 20,

  • that's literally 22 cookies, Shirley.

  • And then I had at least three or four,

  • and I took several bites of others,

  • so I have had at least 30 to 40 cookies

  • if you do the math, honestly.

  • And then you add that I didn't eat breakfast,

  • and then you add that I'm in the midst

  • of, like, five mental breakdowns,

  • and so we are in an interesting place.

  • Just gonna roll away.

  • [laughing]
