0:00 I think I might genuinely have to- Are you just not gonna do it?
0:03 Ah, come on, man!
Don't look at me like that!
0:04 You gotta be brave!
Don't!
0:06 Lemme just do it.
0:07 I'm gonna need a mint after this.
0:15 We're thinking.
0:17 Whoa.
0:23 Hey, I'm Halle Bailey.
0:25 I'm Rege-Jean Page, and this is Snack Wars for LADbible.
0:29 Wow, who knew that was under there?
0:33 That was my best Mighty Boosh impression.
0:36 What is this?
0:37 Okay, so that...
0:39 Smells funny.
0:41 That's Marmite. Do you
know what Marmite is?
0:42 I've heard of it.
0:43 Oh, 'cause you lived here for a while.
0:45 You were here for like, what, a year on Mermaid?
Mm-hmm.
0:47 What did they tell you about Marmite?
0:48 It's an acquired taste.
0:49 So the way that they market it is that it's not so much
that you acquire it or not, it's that you either love it or hate it.
0:54 There's no crossing of the lines.
0:56 This is a snack war within a snack war.
0:57 I don't like the smell.
0:58 Just so you know, there's a
civil war in the UK over this.
1:00 Really?
1:01 But the people who love it, love it.
1:02 Also, the...
1:05 I'm already judging it.
1:08 Okay. I'm excited to try it.
1:10 I'm going to keep an open mind.
1:13 I believe you.
1:14 You've had a PB&J.
I've had a PB&J.
1:17 So, yeah. Okay.
1:19 I'm slightly a traitor to my people.
1:20 I spent a lot of time
eating PB&Js in the States.
1:22 I'm really scared.
1:23 In fairness, you are allowed
to be scared of this one.
1:25 All right.
1:33 Where are we?
1:34 Mm-mm.
1:35 It's savoury, it's salty.
1:36 No way.
1:37 You need a Kleenex? You okay?
1:39 It's okay.
It's okay.
1:40 It's okay. You did great.
1:41 Okay. I’m gonna try- Whoa. That is not great.
1:45 I'm sorry.
1:47 I'm sorry.
1:53 Well, you know what?
1:54 I might have to hold up a white flag for the Brits with you on this one.
1:56 Really?
I'm not...
1:58 Uh-oh!
2:01 I dove in at the deep end.
2:02 I'm not...
2:03 I think we can suffer through together.
2:05 Maybe they made yours badly too.
2:13 That's a winner.
2:15 We got the Halle happy dance.
2:16 That's a winner.
2:19 Yeah, I need no ratings on that.
2:20 That's easy.
2:25 Okay, I'm so sorry Brits.
2:27 I've been away for a while.
2:28 They got to me.
2:29 This is a lovely comfort food, and that is a sophisticated challenge.
2:34 That was terrible.
2:35 That neither of us- What do we have here?
2:39 Oh!
2:41 Nice.
Hold on, what’s going on here?
2:42 Oh, Oreos.
2:43 Pink wafers. I've never had that.
2:45 Tesco pink wafers at that.
2:47 Mmm.
Our finest wafers.
2:51 This is kinda like
Walmart-level pink wafer.
2:53 Okay. I'm down.
2:55 I love a Walmart.
2:57 Did you get to Snack Wars?
2:59 Have you charmed Snack
Wars so that they're like- No!
Slowly undercutting.
3:03 I feel like we have wafers, I just haven't had Jack's pink wafers.
3:12 How do you feel on the pink wafer?
3:13 I like them!
That's a good eyebrow raise.
3:14 Mm-hmm!
Halle's feeling the wafers.
3:17 I like this!
3:18 It's a good wafer.
3:20 Oreos, I feel like I'm
fairly familiar with as well.
3:25 It's an Oreo.
It's an Oreo.
3:26 It does what it does.
3:27 I feel like it's less
exotic than a pink wafer.
3:29 Yes.
It's less kind of an event.
3:32 Mm-hmm.
3:32 I'm not even sure, am I meant to be defending British snacks?
3:34 I love Oreo, but I really like the wafer.
3:37 A little something different.
3:39 Great.
3:40 In which case, I'm up for
the exotic pink wafer.
3:42 That's one all.
3:43 Yay!
Wafers.
3:45 [Producer, Daniel] No one
has called the 85p wafers exotic before until now.
3:50 They're exotic insofar as
they are not of nature.
3:54 Nothing grew this colour.
3:57 Okay, here we go.
3:59 Oh, we're getting serious now.
4:01 This is...
What's going on?
4:02 I thought Marmite was intense.
4:04 What is this?
4:06 Pickled onions.
4:08 Oh wait, I think I've heard about this.
4:11 Well, I mean, that's your side.
4:13 'cause we don't do pickle in a pouch.
4:15 That's a lot.
4:17 I've never had a pickle in a pouch.
4:19 Have you ever had a pickled onion?
4:20 I've never had a pickled onion.
4:22 I think there may be good
reason for both of those things.
4:25 Um.
4:27 Um.
4:28 You know where I think I've
seen the pickled onions?
4:31 You seen the lady on TikTok,
the Courtney something?
4:34 No. She makes these onion bowls, and puts eggs in an onion, noodles in the onion, and it's like done all these- In an onion?
4:45 Yeah.
Like a big onion?
4:46 A big onion.
And you put stuff inside it?
4:48 Yep.
4:48 Is the onion pickled?
4:50 No, I don't think it's pickled.
4:51 Oh, so this is just an
onion-related anecdote.
4:53 Yeah.
4:57 I just went with onions,
and it took me somewhere.
4:59 To be honest, it's more than
I had to say about the onion.
5:01 I'm not gonna lie.
5:02 I'm not even sure how to approach eating either of these.
I'm nervous.
5:07 Well, you wanna start with the pickle?
5:09 Because it's kind of easy.
5:11 I love a pickle.
5:14 You know, the smell is
quite strong, but...
5:18 What flavour do we have?
5:19 Big Papa.
It's not not strong.
5:21 How is that a flavour?
5:24 Is that his name? Is that Big Papa?
5:27 Jesus.
5:30 Okay, so you can just
take it and just bite it.
5:35 Hear the crunch?
5:36 Mm-hmm, I hear the crunch.
5:38 It's good!
You feeling the crunch?
5:39 Yeah! It's just a pickle.
5:40 All right. You make me brave, Halle.
5:48 That's not so bad.
Yeah!
5:50 It's a pickle.
5:51 There's a second alarm to that.
5:53 Okay, now I'm scared for this.
5:56 Um...
6:02 You go first, because have you ever had a pickled onion?
6:04 I don't think I have.
6:07 No, okay, so I've had
pickled onions before, but I had the little ones.
The little ones.
6:11 Where you combine them.
6:12 You know, like cocktail sticks.
6:13 You have a little cocktail sausage, a little pickled onion, and little other things to go around and soften the impact.
6:21 The jumbo sized pickled onion?
6:23 I can't do this.
6:27 Why are you swooping it around like that?
6:31 I think I might genuinely have to- Are you just not gonna do it?
6:34 Ah, come on, man!
Don't look at me like that!
6:36 You gotta be brave!
Don't!
6:38 I'm gonna need a mint after this.
6:45 Oh, those are okay Halle eyes.
6:50 We're thinking, Whoa.
6:54 It's kinda good.
6:55 Big Papa good?
6:56 Not as good as Big Papa.
6:58 But it's kinda good.
7:00 It's a lot going on.
7:02 A lot of flavours.
7:03 Come on, you have to do it now.
7:04 Well, I was about to say, I feel like you gave us a great review.
7:07 So, next!
7:08 Wow.
7:09 The big reveal.
7:12 Oh.
Okay.
7:13 We're on an easy one.
Sour Patch Kids, and do you know what a Parma Violet is?
7:16 No. Parma Violet?
7:18 So, these are a curiosity, because they only turn up at
either end of your lifespan.
7:23 You are either a child or a grandparent.
7:25 No one in between has ever
encountered a Parma Violet.
7:28 They're, what, lavender
flavoured, I think?
7:30 Lavender flavoured?
7:31 So it basically tastes
like your grandma's house.
7:33 That's what this is.
Aww.
7:38 Yep, that's floral.
7:42 Mmm.
7:44 That was number two, straight away.
7:46 It's like a SweeTART.
What's a SweeTART?
7:48 It's this exact same thing, but it says SweeTART.
7:52 Oh, it says SweeTART?
7:53 Mm-hmm, but it's a rainbow of colours too.
7:55 It's not just purple.
7:57 Okay, so that feels pretty positive.
7:58 You're feeling good
about the Parma Violets.
7:59 I like the lavender. That's good.
8:02 Okay.
8:03 We're up against Sour Patch Kids, which I'm guessing is a US situation.
8:07 Yes. Have you ever had a Sour Patch Kid?
8:08 I don't think I have.
8:09 How sour is it?
8:10 Great!
8:13 More or less intense than pickled onions?
8:15 It's yummy.
8:17 It's good yummy.
8:18 I don't like that ambiguous answer.
8:20 And these are the watermelons.
8:21 Is it watermelon?
What?
8:24 I'm waiting for the sour.
Yeah, it's like very mild.
8:28 Super mild.
Yeah.
8:29 It's good, right?
8:30 It's okay.
8:31 You like this better?
8:33 I didn't say that.
8:35 I'm gonna call that one a tie.
8:36 I'm kind of equally okay about both.
8:41 How do you feel?
8:42 I feel like you're not really...
8:44 I've never seen you eat candy on set.
8:46 I'm not really a candy guy.
You're not a candy guy.
8:48 I'm a candy girl, and I like these.
8:52 Okay, we're making amends.
8:54 One, two, three.
8:58 Oh, okay.
8:59 So this is us.
9:00 Twiglets?
Twiglets.
9:01 So remember that first
snack that you really liked?
9:04 This is that in a separate form.
9:05 No! This is Marmite in a snack?
9:09 That's how much, apparently,
we wanted to rep.
9:12 I don't think it's officially Marmite, it is exactly the same
tasting yeast extract.
9:17 Do you like these?
9:20 They exist, and I tolerate that.
9:26 They tend to turn up at
cocktail parties in the '70s.
9:33 Yeah, that's that same flavour again, but crunchy this time.
Mm-mm.
9:37 Yeah, mm-hmm.
Not for me.
9:39 I'm sorry, y'all.
9:40 I can't do the Marmite.
9:42 It's okay, half of us
can't do the marmite.
9:45 And then we have the classic.
9:46 I feel like everyone- Okay, this is unfairly weighted.
9:49 Hang on a second.
9:50 We have got the vanilla of potato chips versus the, literally, you love it or you hate it of flavours.
9:58 Somewhere the Americans have
gotten to the LADbible team.
10:01 They have put their finger
firmly on the scale.
10:04 Look at this.
Oh, well.
10:07 This is propaganda.
10:07 They're trying to make
me out like a traitor.
10:10 Lay's it is, man.
10:11 The Americans are taking it.
10:13 Nothing like a Lay's chip.
10:18 She's literally dancing
with the chip, man.
10:20 [Daniel] And that means the US won.
10:24 Fair enough.
10:25 [Daniel] What's going
through your mind right now?
10:27 Do I have to eat this?
10:30 This is a mess.
10:36 [Daniel] Did you just lick the onion?
