  • Joe: From Wendy's to Quiznos,

  • we wanted to find out all the biggest

  • portion-size differences between UK and US fast food.

  • This is "Food Wars."

  • In the UK, Wendy's iconic Frostys come in three sizes.

  • Junior, regular, and large.

  • In the US, we actually have four Frosty sizes.

  • Junior, small, medium, large.

  • We're going to pour out the largest Frosty

  • to see how big it is compared to the US's.

  • The classic hamburger at a Wendy's is called a Dave's,

  • named after the founder, Dave Thomas.

  • Ours come in singles, doubles, and triples.

  • Our burgers are the same in the UK.

  • They also come as singles, doubles, or triples.

  • Joe: Now we're going to weigh a US triple.

  • Pretty close. 14 ounces for our triple.

  • Now, while a triple might be the official limit

  • on burger sizes at Wendy's, Wendy's enthusiasts

  • have come up with something called a meat cube.

  • This is a secret menu item

  • where you actually take an extra meat patty

  • and add it to this, so you get four patties,

  • which I think adds up to around a pound.

  • Joe, I'm officially challenging you to a meat cube showdown.

  • The fastest person to eat the entire meat cube wins.

  • You think you got it?

  • I accept your challenge, Harry.

  • Let's do this!

  • Harry: Three, two, one. Joe: And start.

  • All right.

  • It's a lot of beef.

  • I see why the triple is the limit now.

  • Time?

  • Conner: 1:07.

  • I wish I had more time to chew it.

  • [coughing]

  • Need the sauce. Need some moisture.

  • The buns!

  • Oh, God.

  • [Joe yelling]

  • How'd I do?

  • Done.

  • Yeah!

  • Whoo!

  • USA, baby!

  • Conner: How do you feel?

  • Terrible. I feel absolutely terrible.

  • And yet, elated that I won.

  • Well, now we know why the US has such an obesity problem.

  • OK, that's quite enough of that.

  • Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

  • [beep]

  • Another iconic Wendy's menu item is the Baconator.

  • In the UK, these just come in one size, as a regular.

  • Of course, in the US, we also have the Baconator,

  • but we have a smaller Baconator,

  • known as the Son of Baconator.

  • Something incredibly unsettling

  • about a burger having a child that's also a burger.

  • This Baconator giving birth to that Baconator.

  • Harry: And, of course, we're going to weigh the regular

  • Baconators to see whose is bigger.

  • The highly regarded

  • Wendy's nuggets that come in regular or spicy.

  • Love the spicy.

  • They come in units of four, six, and 10.

  • Nuggets in the UK only come in two portion sizes,

  • four and eight.

  • Wendy's, of course, has fries.

  • And those fries in the US come in four sizes.

  • Junior, small, medium, large.

  • Our fries also come in four sizes.

  • Value, small, medium, and large.

  • Let's weigh our large fries to see who's getting more.

  • Ours is way less.

  • Hm. What's that all about?

  • [beep]

  • Another side that is probably unique to Wendy's,

  • I can't think of any other fast-food place that does this,

  • is Wendy's chili. It has been on the menu

  • since it opened back in 1969.

  • In the US, you can get your chili,

  • ugh, for whatever reason,

  • in two sizes, small and large.

  • In the UK, we only have one size of chili,

  • which is this one. We're going to weight it

  • against the largest size in the US to find the difference.

  • Finally, let's compare drinks.

  • In the US, you can get three sizes of drink.

  • Small, medium, and large.

  • On the internet, it does not specify

  • how much fluid ounces are in any of these.

  • If I had to guess,

  • too much, way too much,

  • way, way too much.

  • In the UK, drinks come in three sizes.

  • Small, medium, or large.

  • And these are advertised as being

  • 12, 16, and 20 ounces, respectively.

  • Let's measure the largest drinks

  • to see which country's is bigger.

  • Fizzy.

  • So, our large drink actually came out

  • as closer to 18 ounces than closer to 20.

  • I will say that in the UK, you fill up your own drink,

  • so maybe I just needed to fill a bit more.

  • OK, so their large is 18 ounces.

  • What is our small?

  • 20 ounces. So our small is bigger than their large.

  • Man, we love drinking our calories in this country.

  • The fountain drinks at Popeyes come in three sizes.

  • The small, which is 22 ounces,

  • the medium, which is 30 ounces,

  • and the large, which is, of course, 40 ounces.

  • 40 ounces.

  • That's so much soda.

  • In the UK, drinks only come in two sizes,

  • as a kids size or as a regular size.

  • We're not sure how much is in either of these,

  • so we're going to measure them both.

  • A little over 300.

  • About 450.

  • But those aren't the biggest, I say!

  • Actually, at the Popeyes in the US,

  • you can also get a gallon of sweet tea

  • [thud]

  • and unsweetened tea.

  • One. Whole. Gallon.

  • [grunts] Look at this.

  • Gallon, gallon.

  • Oh, and don't you hate when dummies

  • do that thing where they're like,

  • "Hey, the medium is the same size as the large!"

  • And it never is, it's, like, a total con, so.

  • Medium soda, large cup.

  • Oh, wow, guys!

  • The medium's about the same size as the large,

  • except for, like, oh, I don't know, 10 ounces.

  • Dumb TikTokers, you guys don't even know.

  • You're out of your league, TikTokers!

  • I'm the fast-food king online!

  • All right?

  • When was this cleaned last?

  • Ooh!

  • I'm gonna go 36, what do you think?

  • I mean, it could have been the amount

  • to top of this cup, but again,

  • you can't fill this to the brim.

  • You have to put a cap on it.

  • In the UK, fries just come as a regular serving.

  • US, we got two Popeyes fries sizes.

  • A regular and a large.

  • The regular, as we have here,

  • just came with a side of the three-piece we got here.

  • And, of course, a large,

  • which is a box of just fries.

  • Harry: We're going to weigh these to see

  • how they compare to the US.

  • Joe: We, of course, now, are going to

  • also weigh our largest fry.

  • Do not sleep on these fries.

  • You'll be surprised to learn

  • that the inside of this scale is disgusting.

  • A Popeyes chicken sandwich in the UK weighs

  • exactly 250 grams.

  • Joe: In the US, it weighs

  • 270 grams.

  • In the US, Popeyes signature chicken

  • comes in seven serving sizes.

  • We'll start with these.

  • So, of course, the one-piece kids meal.

  • Then you can upgrade to a two-piece regular meal,

  • which comes with a side and a biscuit.

  • Or you can get yourself the three-piece.

  • And a four-piece. Side and a biscuit.

  • From there, you can get yourself

  • an eight-piece family meal.

  • The 12-piece, for the family as well,

  • or just for one person over a weekend.

  • And the largest, the 16-piece.

  • Are you kidding me? [laughs]

  • How absurd is this?

  • Look at all this chicken!

  • In the UK, the signature chicken comes

  • as a two-piece meal, as a three-piece meal,

  • or as a six-piece sharer, as a nine-piece sharer,

  • or our largest size, the 12-piece sharer.

  • Let's weigh a wing, a thigh, and a leg

  • to see whose chickens are bigger.

  • So, in the UK, our thigh, leg, and wing combo

  • came to around 290 grams.

  • Here we go. First guy up, the leg.

  • Next up, got thatwing

  • Kind of a wimpy-looking one.

  • And this one, the thigh.

  • How 'bout the tendies?

  • In the US, we have these following sizes.

  • A kids meal has a one-piece,

  • but what's up, they gave us two!

  • And then from there, you get a three-piece,

  • which they forgot.

  • And then we have five-piece.

  • Comes with a side and a biscuit.

  • Eight pieces. I feel like

  • they're getting bigger as I go along.

  • Look at the size of this tender.

  • Then we have the 12-piece.

  • I mean, guys, this is like a -- look at this!

  • Did you know they're this big?

  • This is fantastic. I love how big these are.

  • That's what I'm talking about, Popeyes! Thank you.

  • And, of course, the 16-piece.

  • Look at this bad boy.

  • Look at the size of these guys.

  • Tenders in the UK come in four portion sizes.

  • As a two-piece, which is a kids meal,

  • as a three-piece, a five-piece,

  • and an eight-piece.

  • Next up is the nuggets.

  • These can be found in servings of a four-piece kids meal,

  • a six-piece kids meal, eight-piece,

  • the 12-piece,

  • 24-piece,

  • 36 pieces.

  • And then this double pile right here,

  • the biggest order,

  • 48 pieces.

  • And I have to say,

  • does not look like enough.

  • I know I could destroy that 48-piece with confidence.

  • What do we got here?

  • Oh, look at this sticker! This is fun!

  • Yeah, look at these guys!

  • Look at this big one playing a saxophone.

  • How fun is that?

  • That's cool, right?

  • In the UK, we actually call our nuggets bites,

  • and they come in the following sizes:

  • As a four-piece, which is a kids meal,

  • a six-piece, a nine-piece, and a 12-piece.

  • Unfortunately, we couldn't get these today.

  • USA. We got biscuits, baby!

  • These are the not-cookie biscuits

  • that have come up before in other "Food Wars" episodes.

  • These are the biscuits-biscuits.

  • And at Popeyes, you can get them in one,

  • either on its own or probably with just about every meal.

  • You can also get them in six.

  • It's, like, rolling right down here.

  • And you can also get them in 12.

  • Just overflowing biscuits over here.

  • We actually do have biscuits on the UK Popeyes menu.

  • If you order it as a side, you get one biscuit.

  • In the UK, Jollibee serves their famous Chickenjoy

  • in six portion sizes, starting with

  • a one-piece.

  • In the US, you can get your Chickenjoy

  • in five different portions.

  • A one-piece with a side.

  • Next up, we've got a two-piece.

  • A two-piece,

  • also with a side.

  • We move to a three-piece.

  • A three-piece that comes with a side.

  • I'm so excited to try this.

  • It's my first-ever taste of Jollibee fried chicken.

  • Not my first time, Harry.

  • Wow, that's good. That's really good.

  • I don't know how it stayed so crispy.

  • The next sizes up are buckets of chicken.

  • You can get a bucket in six

  • or bucket of 10.

  • Buckets from a UK Jollibee come in three sizes,

  • starting with a six-piece.

  • Then, from there, we move up to an eight-piece bucket.

  • And last but by no means least,

  • our biggest portion size is a bucket of 12.

  • Should've got a bigger plate.

  • I need some more.

  • It's really good.

  • I just love chicken. And this is a good example of it.

  • These little crispy bits that fall off your chicken,

  • gold dust.

  • Let's each weigh our six-piece buckets to see if

  • the Chickenjoy in one country is bigger than the other.

  • It's time for some Jenga.

  • Ah!

  • We have over 100 grams more chicken!

  • [laughs]

  • I realize this is so arbitrary.

  • The size of the meat, the amount of coating.

  • But it's nice to win, regardless.

  • The chicken at Jollibee also comes

  • in the form of tenders. In the UK,

  • these are served in four portion sizes.

  • As a single tender.

  • What? One piece? One piece?

  • Who's getting one chicken tender?

  • As two tenders.

  • As a portion of three tenders.

  • And, finally, as a portion of four.

  • One chicken tender. I've never heard of that. Anywhere.

  • Well, here in America,

  • we have normal portion sizes for our chicken tenders.

  • You can get them in three pieces, six pieces.

  • I think three is not enough, but OK.

  • Three pieces, six pieces,

  • 10 pieces.

  • Whoa!

  • [sighs]

  • [beep]

  • Or 16.

  • Yeah!

  • Tenders. How do you like that?

  • Yeah, there's a little bit more going on now.

  • I like it. Little bit of heat to it.

  • The batter seems different.

  • It has more of the buttermilk flavor to it,

  • of the coating.

  • Yeah.

  • Garlic mayo. Always.

  • Who needs ranch when you have garlic mayo?

  • Who needs garlic mayo when you have ranch?

  • [boxing bell rings]

  • Ranch is far superior to garlic mayo. No question.

  • Hell, yeah. Love ranch.

  • A worthy addition.

  • Ranch is way better. You got herbs and spices.

  • Aren't they, like, basically the same thing?

  • Then we're on to some Jollibee specialities.

  • Now, one iconic dish is this one.

  • This is the Jolly spaghetti.

  • Now, this is a dish made of spaghetti with some cheese

  • as well as a sweet-style sauce,

  • which is, I think, made with banana ketchup

  • and some meat as well.

  • And then it's topped with hot-dog slices.

  • In the UK, this only comes as one portion size.

  • That's a cute size you got there, Harry.

  • But here in the US, we have three sizes,

  • our regular portion,

  • our family portion,

  • and the party portion.

  • Look at this.

  • This is supposed to be eight to 10 people.

  • It's like a lasagna. Look at that.

  • Now, according to a friend of mine from the Philippines,

  • the pro move is to dunk the chicken

  • into the spaghetti sauce. So let's give that a try.

  • The cold cheese isn't doing it any favors,

  • I'll be honest.

  • OK.

  • Yeah.

  • That's actually not bad.

  • It's a bit misleading because their spaghetti is actually,

  • the sauce is sweet.

  • Very good. Yeah, together, that's really good.

  • Then we're on to the burgers.

  • Now, Jollibee is famous for its Yumburgers,

  • which is a beef burger with its signature burger sauce.

  • In the UK, these come as either a single or as a double.

  • Over here in the US, you can get the classic Yumburger

  • or this, the double Yumburger.

  • Don't want a bun for your burger, you say?

  • Jollibee has you covered.

  • They have something called the burger steaks.

  • Patties of burgers smothered in their mushroom gravy.

  • You can get them in two patties, three patties,

  • or the six-patty family pack.

  • Over here, the burger steaks only come as a two-piece.

  • In the US, you can get a side of white rice.

  • We only have one size, and it's this one right here.

  • Same here. Our rice just comes in one portion,

  • and it's wrapped up like this. Very cute.

  • Let's start with the starters.

  • Now, TGI Fridays in the UK and the US

  • both have lots of starter options.

  • So what we're going to do is pick the most popular ones

  • and compare those. First up, we have the mozzarella sticks.

  • An order of these in the UK contains four sticks.

  • In the US, our TGI Fridays mozzarella sticks

  • come in an order of six. Six sticks.

  • Or you can get the platter,

  • which doubles that. 12 sticks.

  • Harry: We're going to weigh three UK mozzarella sticks

  • to try and find the average weight.

  • Hey, Harry, is that three sticks?

  • Thought that order had four?

  • So, three mozzarella sticks in the UK weighed 95 grams.

  • That means that each individual mozzarella stick

  • weighed an average of 31.6 grams.

  • Joe: Yes.

  • So, six sticks is 260 grams.

  • So that's roughly

  • 43-point-repeating-3 grams per stick.

  • Now, pro tip.

  • Weigh your food, then try one.

  • Mm.

  • TGI Fridays is running the mozzarella-cheese-stick game.

  • They're running the mozz-stick game.

  • Mm.

  • The UK does have loaded potato skins,

  • but they're not currently serving them due to the pandemic,

  • as they don't travel very well for delivery.

  • However, we were able to find some in the store.

  • When they are available in the restaurants,

  • they come in serving sizes of six or 12.

  • Well, we didn't have that problem in the US,

  • or maybe we just don't care.

  • Either way, loaded potato skins are totally available

  • at the US TGI Fridays, and they come in two sizes.

  • You can get them in eight

  • or you get the platty boy, which is 12.

  • Chicken wings in the UK come in two portion sizes.

  • As a single portion of three wings

  • or as a sharing portion,

  • which is six wings.

  • Chicken wing, chicken wing

  • Hey, Harry, when I said to compare the wings

  • between the US and the UK, I meant these wings.

  • Maybe it's cultural differences,

  • or maybe I just read the menu wrong.

  • Anyway.

  • In the US, our wings come in an order of 10,

  • or you can get a platter of either 30 or 50 wings.

  • Hell, yeah, dude.

  • I want to eat every single one of these wings.

  • If you like your chicken off the bone,

  • you can also get boneless wings at TGI Fridays

  • in both the UK and the US.

  • Here, they come in two portion sizes.

  • As a single, which is 7 ounces,

  • or as a sharing size, which is 14 ounces.

  • In the US, our TGI Fridays offer boneless wings by ounces.

  • You can get 10 ounces,

  • 40 ounces,

  • or a platter of 80 ounces!

  • Look at this. You have no idea how good this smells.

  • That is so good!

  • How are they so good?

  • The ribs in the UK come in two sizes,

  • as a half rack or as a full rack.

  • And both come in either a legendary or a barbecue glaze.

  • Our ribs in the US also come in a half slab

  • or a full slab.

  • We're going to weigh our large portion to see

  • who out of me or Joe has the biggest rack.

  • [ba-dum tss]

  • So, a large rack of ribs in the UK

  • came to around 366 grams.

  • Bunch of children over there.

  • "Joe's rack."

  • Grow up!

  • All right, here we go.

  • Zoop!

  • Ooh, this guy's already falling apart.

  • Tender!

  • And a full slab in the US is almost 600 grams.

  • How do you like that?

  • I got the bigger rack.

  • Most meals in the UK come with a side of fries by default,

  • so we're going to weigh a regular portion of fries

  • to see what it comes to.

  • Joe: Yikes, ours is only 120.

  • 120 for a side of fries in the US.

  • Hm.

  • In the UK, Nando's chicken comes in three serving sizes.

  • A quarter of a chicken.

  • In the US, Nando's standard chicken

  • comes in just two sizes.

  • There's a half a chicken.

  • A whole chicken.

  • Or a fourth of a chicken.

  • You can get a whole chicken in the US,

  • but only as part of a platter.

  • And we're going to weigh the whole chicken

  • to see which country's chickens are bigger.

  • USA chicken, baby!

  • We can also get bonus thighs in the UK.

  • If you order these, they come in a portion of four.

  • Our thighs actually come as a portion of three.

  • So we got one, two, three.

  • Chicken, chicken wings

  • They're my favorite thing, and I love to sing

  • If you haven't already seen it,

  • look up the "Nando's Skank,"

  • which is a very pure distillation of British culture

  • in the late '00s.

  • It's Ed Sheeran and Example rapping

  • about Nando's in a car park. I don't know why.

  • And then he's just flexing his black card,

  • which I'm fuming about.

  • 'Cause, you know, Nando's black card,

  • they give them out to select individuals,

  • and it entitles you to free Nando's,

  • which I'm so jealous of.

  • Also, bone to pick with that in general.

  • Why do they always give the celebrities the free stuff?

  • 'Cause they're the people who need it least.

  • They're already rich. Sort a guy out. Come on.

  • I'm not a celebrity.

  • Not yet.

  • Next up in the UK, we've got wings.

  • They come in four portions.

  • A portion of three.

  • Our wings come as a serving of 12.

  • A portion of five.

  • Or ...

  • Harry: A portion of 10. Medha: A serving of 24.

  • Or a portion of 15.

  • If chicken on the bone isn't for you,

  • Nando's also offers chicken in the form of burgers,

  • wraps, and pitas. In the UK,

  • you can get these as singles or as doubles.

  • We can also get our chicken wrapped

  • or burgered.

  • However, in the US,

  • there's no option to add double chicken,

  • which sucks.

  • It's like a little burrito.

  • Holy ...

  • Don't do "Food Wars" without eating breakfast.

  • I'm going to cry.

  • We're going to remove all the toppings

  • from the single chicken burger and weigh it

  • to see how it compares to the US version.

  • So, we're going to take out the tomato and the lettuce,

  • just like Harry mentioned.

  • Which is good because tomato does not belong on burgers

  • and never should.

  • On the side of your chicken,

  • it's pretty common to get some chips at Nando's.

  • I'm excited for this episode because I can actually

  • call them chips for once, as that's what they're

  • referred to on the US menu. Suck it, Joe.

  • Suck it, Joe!

  • What did I do? Why is everyone telling me to suck it?

  • [laughing]

  • He's not even hosting this episode.

  • I just gotta send for him.

  • [beep]

  • Chips in the UK come in regular or large sizes.

  • The standard US sizes are regular and large.

  • However, if you get them as part of a platter,

  • you can get the bonus extra-large size.

  • Let's weigh the large fries to see whose is bigger.

  • Maybe I should've used the bowl. Oh, no.

  • I'm still gonna eat these.

  • I don't care if they touch all these gross ...

  • I'm getting too good at emptying brick chips

  • from containers.

  • So, our scale is just about adequate for this one,

  • and a portion of large fries in the UK --

  • I said fries. Why did I say fries?

  • I'm being conditioned to saying fries.

  • That's right, buddy. I heard you say fries!

  • This show is getting to me.

  • [beep]

  • A portion of large chips in the UK

  • comes to about 498 grams.

  • Medha: 150 grams.

  • In the UK, Quiznos sandwiches come in four sizes.

  • Firstly, we have the kids size, which isinches.

  • Then we have a small sub, which is 6 inches.

  • A medium sub from a UK Quiznos is 9 inches,

  • or at least it should be before we got hungry

  • and ate it by mistake.

  • And then finally we have a large sub,

  • which is 12 inches, or 1 foot long.

  • In the US, our Quiznos sandwiches come in four sizes.

  • The sammie, a 4-inch, an 8-inch, and a 12-inch.

  • And I want to give Quiznos props

  • for not calling this, like, a sandwich taco

  • or something really obnoxious.

  • Also in the US at a Quiznos, you can get party platters

  • of either 20 3-inch sandwiches

  • or 14 flatbreads cut in half.

  • There are no fountain drinks at a Quiznos in the UK.

  • Instead, we just have cans and bottles,

  • which are 330 milliliters and 500 milliliters, respectively.

  • In the US at a Quiznos,

  • you can get your drinks in three sizes.

  • Either a bottle, which is 20 ounces,

  • the regular, also 20 ounces,

  • or the large, which they did not have.

  • Harry: Let's weigh a classic Italian foot-long

  • from a Quiznos in the UK to see what it comes to.

  • So, our scales could just about handle that.

  • Turns out that a foot-long classic Italian

  • from a UK Quiznos is 520 grams.

  • Joe: In the US, Quiznos' classic foot-long Italian

  • is about, like, 460?

  • [burps]

  • Quiznos was one of the first chains to toast their subs,

  • so now let's arbitrarily compare the toastedness

  • between our bread and the UK bread.

  • In our extremely precise comparison metric,

  • it looks like the US maybe has the edge

  • when it comes to toastiness of the bread.

  • The inside of this is completely soggy,

  • and the outside, just very average.

  • In the UK, you can get your order in three portion sizes.

  • As a small platter, as a regular platter, or as a sandwich.

  • The Halal Guys in the US,

  • your order can come in three sizes.

  • Small, regular, sandwich.

  • We're going to weigh a regular platter in both countries

  • to see whose is the biggest.

  • It's been so many episodes.

  • Why don't we just get bigger scales?

  • Bear with us. One second.

  • First half is about 337 grams.

  • 337 plus 321.

  • 658?

  • Quick maths.

  • This thing, we need to wash this thing.

  • It's getting funky in here.

  • Here we go. The regular.

  • Fits in perfectly.

  • 640.

  • 640 grams. It's a full meal.

  • Oh, man, this smells so good.

  • Fries in the UK only come in one portion size, this one.

  • In the US, The Halal Guys also only have one size fries.

  • Look at this case. Seen this?

  • Do you think it's to keep them crispy,

  • so they don't get soggy?

  • Very smart. Very innovative.

  • I wanna eat this so badly. We gotta weigh it first.

  • This could be another brick.

  • Ah.

  • Hey.

  • So, a side of fries from a UK Halal Guys

  • came to 213 grams.

  • Wait. Oh, yeah. OK.

  • Yeah.

  • 145 grams for one size

  • of Halal Guys fries.

  • Uh, yeah!

  • Yo.

  • I've never gotten the fries. These are good!

  • Crispy. Don't sleep on the Halal Guys fries.

  • In the UK, a side of hummus only comes in one size,

  • and it's this one right here.

  • In the US of A, Halal Guys hummus only comes in one size,

  • and of course we are going to weigh it.

  • Harry: So, our side order of hummus came in at 246 grams.

  • I'm going to eat all of this

  • as soon as the cameras stop rolling.

  • A side order of baba ghanoush in the UK

  • only comes in one size as well.

  • Joe: In the US, the baba ghanoush at The Halal Guys

  • is also just one size.

  • In the UK, you can get a side of falafel,

  • and it comes as a two-piece serving.

  • We did ask for some, but I think the guy forgot,

  • so we don't have any to show you.

  • In the US at The Halal Guys,

  • you can get your falafel in three sizes.

  • Two pieces, four pieces, or six pieces.

  • We can also get falafel sandwiches.

  • Let's take some measurements.

  • Our falafel sandwich is 8 inches in diameter.

  • And for the moment you've all been waiting for,

  • we're going to measure the girth.

  • The tape measure is really not fit to task.

  • Actually, no. That's kind of worked.

  • And our falafel sandwich has a girth of,

  • let's say 7 and a bit inches.

  • From pita to pita.

  • 8 inches.

  • Yeah. Oh, look at that!

  • And it's 8 inches thick. 8 and 8.

  • I like when things are just precise like that.

  • Harry: And finally, it weighs 286 grams.

  • And a falafel sandwich at the US Halal Guys

  • weighs

  • like, exactly

  • [burps] excuse me.

  • Exactly 250 grams.

  • In the UK, if you want dessert at Halal Guys,

  • you can get baklava.

  • It comes in a two-piece serving.

  • Halal Guys in the US, the baklava comes in one size,

  • in this one piece,

  • this piece right here.

  • Oops, I ordered two! I guess I'll just have to eat one!

  • Who am I kidding? I'm eating both of these.

  • Let's start with the drinks.

  • In the UK, the majority of hot drinks only come in one size,

  • which is 12 ounces.

  • Pret says this is to optimize efficiency

  • and to keep things simple for customers.

  • However, there are two exceptions to this rule.

  • Firstly, if you order a flat white from a UK Pret,

  • it served as an 8-ounce drink.

  • Then, if you order an espresso or a macchiato,

  • it comes in one of these adorable little 4-ounce cups.

  • All right. So, in the US,

  • our hot coffees come in three sizes.

  • Small,

  • medium,

  • and large.

  • This is ridiculous.

  • But we also have some exceptions to the rules.

  • Our flat white is only served as an 8-ounce drink,

  • but our macchiato is 4 ounces, like the UK's,

  • and our espresso is actually just 2 ounces.

  • I guess they're trying to limit our caffeine intake. Maybe.

  • Harry: We're going to measure our largest black coffee

  • to find out if you're actually getting

  • as much as you're told you are.

  • So, to Pret's credit, that is exactly 12 ounces.

  • We are not getting as much coffee as they say we are,

  • but maybe that's a good thing.

  • 20's kind of a lot.

  • Not getting as much coffee as advertised, huh, Irene?

  • Welcome to "Food Wars."

  • What about iced coffees?

  • Well, in the UK, these also just come in one size.

  • Well, over here, we can get iced black coffee

  • as either a 16- or 24-ounce serving.

  • It's a lot of coffee.

  • I don't get people who drink black coffee.

  • Harry: We're both going to measure our largest

  • iced black coffee to find out what they come to.

  • So, once again, this came to exactly 12 ounces.

  • So, the iced coffee is also not the advertised amount.

  • It's supposed to be 24 ounces,

  • but it looks like it's only about 21.

  • It's an international coffee conspiracy!

  • Season two, we're still dealing with this.

  • I mean, is someone gonna do something about this?

  • Once again, maybe not a bad thing?

  • I feel like a lot of people are going to disagree with that.

  • Do you need this much caffeine in your life?

  • Probably.

  • I don't know if Joe or Harry drinks this much coffee.

  • I feel like Joe might. He seems like he would.

  • He has that energy.

  • Joe just looks like he just drinks, like,

  • five cups of black coffee a day

  • and then he's up at 2 a.m. Joe: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

  • just, like, haunted. Joe: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

  • Yes, I do. I drink a lot of coffee.

  • I should say that it's only April,

  • and I've already passed three kidney stones this year.

  • What about some of the food options?

  • This is an egg salad sandwich from a UK Pret.

  • We're going to weigh this one to see how much it comes to.

  • Irene: It's exactly 250 grams.

  • Maybe our eggs are heavier.

  • It's all those preservatives.

  • If you were raised here, you wouldn't be worried.

  • We should probably be worried.

  • It's not that good.

  • But I'm hungry.

  • Egg salad isgross

  • Like, it generally doesn't taste good,

  • but I'm just taking bites of it.

  • So that was a classic sandwich. But what about a baguette?

  • This is a ham and cheese baguette from a UK Pret.

  • So, our UK ham and cheese baguette

  • came to exactly 200 grams.

  • Well, here's our famous ham and cheese baguette.

  • It says it should weigh 251 grams.

  • It's exactly 251 grams. That's impressive.

  • It's actually kind of scary.

  • I know it should weigh exactly the amount it says it should,

  • but it's kind of cool when it actually does.

  • Next up, we've got this muffin.

  • This is a double berry muffin from a UK Pret,

  • which is a blueberry muffin

  • with some extra blueberry compote in the middle.

  • All right. So, we have our classic blueberry muffin,

  • without the extra compote in the middle.

  • Harry: Let's find out how much it weighs.

  • Do you know the muffin man?

  • The muffin man?

  • The muffin man!

  • Yes, I know the muffin man who lives on Drury Lane.

  • God, I love "Shrek."

  • Can we get a Harry Shrek?

  • Can we get Harry's face turned into Shrek, please?

  • You know I've never seen "Shrek"?

  • My surname's an anagram of Shrek.
