Hello and welcome to another supplemental piece of f***face content.
You've been waiting for this one almost as long as we have.
This is the International Chip Challenge.
And not only are we going...
What is wrong with you?
We have never called it that it's been
months and we've been calling it but i like it if it's a challenge too it's the easiest challenge
well so who's the challenge is who's got the best chips okay yeah let me let me raise the stakes a
little bit right so we're all going to submit scores what about this i'm just going to float
this idea out there whoever has the lowest score can't return to their home country or they have to leave what
about that for how long set some stakes i'm going forever permanently you live never go home canada
so what if you or i have to leave the country yeah if we're at the bottom listen i'm not i'm
not going to be at the bottom of this so i don't care setting the stakes whatever did you get i'm
pretty sure you're gonna be at the bottom of this, so I don't care setting the stakes, whatever. I'm pretty sure you're going to be at the bottom of this.
No, I'm going to win this fucking competition.
I got facts.
I got passion.
I got ketchup.
None of that matters.
Here's what we're doing.
Apparently, it's not the International Chip Challenge.
It's the Crips of the World.
Crips of the World Unite.
Question mark?
That sounds like charity.
Okay, and so what we're going to do is we're going to have
everybody here eat the chips, but we're gonna do is we're gonna have everybody
here eat the chips, but we're gonna go in gag
order. Only three of us can rate them,
and that is because there are more
Americans than Canadians and Brits here, and
we don't want the scores to be colored
by country bias, even unintentional
country bias. So we're gonna go
Gavin, Andrew, Jeff. Thanks for
bringing in another American.
There's so many Americans. And hold on, I'm not done yet. I'm trying to intro this. So we've got Jeff and Gavin, we've got Gavin, Andrew, Jeff. Thanks for bringing in another American. There's so many Americans. And hold on.
Hold on.
I'm not done yet.
I'm trying to intro this.
Okay.
So we've got Jeff and Gavin.
We've got Gavin, Andrew, and Jeff, the three graders.
Then, as always, we've got Eric and Gracie.
They're going to eat as well.
And Nick has never said no to food.
So we've got to have Nick in.
And then for this episode and this episode only, because we all know F*** Face does not have guests.
We all know face does not have guests, but I have filed a one-time regulation cast variance dispensation that has
been approved by my producer,
Eric Bedore special one time.
So because we saw Becca Frazier walk by in the hallway and we bullied her
into the room,
she's going to participate as well.
She's going to eat.
She's going to provide her opinions.
Her scores don't count
into the official ruling because she
is an American and we can't have two Americans. I like the
fact that the person who set the rule of no guests
saw someone walking by the window
in the monastery. That's all it takes.
What do you want me to do? I've known Becca for 38
years. I never see
her. On the rare occasion I see her, I want to hang out with her
for a minute. I was excited to see her. Don't get me wrong.
I think this is great
but I do think we need to change the rules of no
guests unless you walk by
the window and Jeff doesn't expect you
in which case you will be on
so if you want to be on the show just surprise
Jeff while we're recording yeah okay that's
fair that's what the rule no guests
or you have to walk by at the right moment
and I have to like you and
it has to be a long enough time
since I've seen you.
It's complicated, but it can be done.
And Becca, is it true that you've deployed your husband
to pick up the kids?
I have.
Very quick change of plans and now I'm here.
Excellent.
You know what I love about having older kids?
I told Millie today,
because I have her this week,
I said,
you'll have to figure out how to get home today
because I'm stuck at work. She goes, okay. And then figure out how to get home today because I'm stuck at work.
She goes, okay.
And then I know that
she'll figure it out.
She's almost 18.
She's smart.
Is that what you do
with your kids or no?
No.
My kids will burn down the house
if they manage to get in.
I got a text from Millie yesterday
because Jeff lost his wallet.
Yeah.
I was scared it was at your house,
but I didn't want to bug you,
so Millie texted you.
You didn't want to bug him?
I don't like to text Gavin.
No, I get it.
Oh, what?
I don't like to text anybody.
Gavin's been texting me Smee videos and Smee pics.
Well, that's the relationship you and Gavin have.
I hung out with Gavin Friday, and I hung out with Gavin Saturday.
So for them to bother Gavin with a text on Sunday, it feels like too much to me.
Wow.
I love him so much.
He is literally next to my daughter and my fiance,
my favorite person on this planet.
I just feel like that would be the person that you would bug.
Honestly, it's kind of neck and neck between the three.
It depends on the day.
But because of that,
I just have so much respect for him and his personal time.
I don't want to bother him.
I like him too much to talk to him.
Does Jeff text you every day or no?
We talk about houses rarely. That's about it. Yeah, Beck and I have been too much to talk to. Does Jeff text you every day or? No. We talk about houses rarely.
That's about it. Okay. Yeah, Beck and I have been texting
recently about British toilets.
Yeah. I have some opinions.
That'll be the next challenge.
Okay, we should get into these crisps.
Okay. So, the way that
Jeff was saying this is going to work is
we're going to start with
the four crisps from each
person and then you guys are going to send me your scores you won't reveal them to everyone
and we'll uh tally them all up at the end are they is it one through ten or one through 100
one through ten one through ten and no no no decimals no decimals god damn it no decimal
because then it might as well be 100 then it might as well be 100.
It might as well be 100.
You're right.
That's what I always say.
Nobody listens to Jeff.
All of a sudden,
it was like,
yeah, 1 through 10,
we'll do like 8.7.
It's like, no,
then just do 1 to 100.
None of this makes sense.
Anyway, 1 through 10. 87.7.
Okay.
So,
that is what we'll do.
And we'll start with,
it'll be gag order.
So it'll be Gavin,
Andrew, Jeff, and you can talk about do. And we'll start with, it'll be gag order. So it'll be Gavin, Andrew, Jeff.
And you can talk about why you've selected these crisps,
what the point was, and what you think.
So, let's start.
Forward gag order, not reverse gag.
Yeah.
Reverse gag would be Jeff. Otherwise it'd be gag, and that doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, right.
It wouldn't want to be backwards gag.
Okay.
Yeah.
Take your pick.
What are we starting with?
What's it gonna be?
What are these?
What do you mean?
I've noticed an immediate problem.
Well, these are nuts, Eric.
Nice and...
That's what it is.
Nope.
Knickknacks.
That's nuts.
Knickknacks.
Those aren't shit.
What did he ask for?
All right, we'll start with...
I thought that...
I ordered the fucking thing
Is that not what it's supposed to be?
God, no
They're crisps
Those are nuts
Dude, I don't know
Don't look at me
I can't believe
I think I'm on your side
I think I'm on your side
Why send you a
Wait, wait
Why don't we start
Listen
I think I got the right product
Andrew, it's frazzles
Alright, we're starting with frazzles Well, I just opened knickknacks right product. Andrew, it's Frazzles. All right, we're starting with Frazzles.
Well, I just opened Knickknacks.
Hold on.
No, go back to Frazzles.
Because, you know, it's the first one of the day.
Let's get breakfast-y.
These are bacon-flavored Frazzles.
Okay.
I think that's the only flavor they do.
Try a Frazzle.
So why don't they just call them Frazzles?
Just in case you don't know what you're getting into.
Oh, sorry, Nick.
So, um, these are corn snacks.
Oh, my God.
They're corn snacks.
Stick your nose in and get a whiff.
Here's the thing I'll say about British chips.
Very bacon-y.
High, high smell quotient.
Yeah.
These smell like dog treats.
A hundred percent.
All right, have you already started eating them?
Why don't you chill your bean?
He has a point.
You didn't chill your bean.
All right, now, everyone except for Eric, because he's already done it, why don't we eat a lovely
frazzle crisp? You ready, Andrew? Now, hold on.
Can Eric eat this again? No, I'll wait until
everyone has their second frazzle crisp.
I do appreciate that they kind of
have, like, bacon lines on them.
Oh, yeah, they do.
That's definitely drawn on in his
no way. Yeah.
Alright, ready, everyone? I think so. Here we go.
Here we go, Derek.
Shouldn't eat right into the microphone. Should not All right, ready? Everyone? I think so. Here we go. Here we go, Derek. Well, shouldn't eat right into the microphone.
Should not eat right into the microphone.
That's ASMR.
The crunch factor is important.
I'm going to be scoring based on crunch.
He's got an excellent point.
I'm going all in.
I'm going to eat a second frazzle.
Get a few going.
It really gets the...
It builds.
I'm already slacking.
Okay. Now, I should say
Frazzle in my Slack, right?
Yeah, I mean, I'm keeping track
as we go, so it's up to you.
Eric. Frazzle.
And then I'll
text the number. I won't say it out loud.
People will know it. I want it to be a secret.
Do I score my own?
You gotta score your own.
Why would you not?
And no decimals.
No. Okay.
Okay.
Alright. These are...
It kind of keeps...
If you stop eating it,
it's weird.
But if you keep eating it...
No, I agree. I think if you stop eating it, it's pretty good.
I think if you stop eating it, it seems to swell in your mouth a little. There's a little bloating going on.
But I don't mind
the texture at all.
I like the texture. I like the crunch.
But I will say the more I eat, the less I like it.
It's weird. There's a drop off.
I will say on the back, for the nutritional
values, it says typical
nutritional values.
Interesting.
It does a range.
It does feel really bacon-y,
which is like you don't get that a lot in snacks.
Like they're not what they're supposed to taste like
and what they taste like don't often line up.
Yeah, and I feel like humans don't get
a lot of bacon flavored snacks.
It's usually.
That's true.
Yeah, yeah.
These are like treats for us.
I have received scores from Jeff and Gavin.
And Andrew simply sent me the word brazzle.
I forgot.
I got caught up in the bacon thing.
In the bacon flavor.
And I forgot to put a number in.
I filled it in.
I followed it up.
Brazzle.
Should we go to the opinions of Nick and Gracie too?
Please.
Gracie, any thoughts?
Love the texture, but they do taste like microwaved bacon.
Very specifically.
The more you eat, the better they are.
So I'm just going to keep going.
The opposite of what Andrew said.
So if you combine both those opinions, normal.
Okay.
I have scores from everyone for Brazzles.
Let's move on to your next crisp.
Second crisp.
Oh, I go all of mine in a row?
Yeah.
I mean, we've been discussing it in that way for like an hour now.
Oh, yeah.
It was pretty painfully clear.
That's how we were doing it.
I disagreed with doing it that way, but everybody else seemed on board.
Yeah, that's the opposite of what I said.
All right.
Twiglets, everyone.
To me, it would have made sense to go.
Yeah.
Sorry.
We could go Rem Robin.
Well, it's too late now.
High in fiber, and you spell fiber like a British person.
Fibre.
Fibre.
Yeah, fibre.
Oven-baked, not fried.
Now, Becky, you were just in England.
I was, yes.
Did you have frazzles or...
I know.
The only ones that I had were a prawn cocktail-flavored chip, and then there was some other spicy chip that I got.
We had our own little tasting.
I got to be honest, this just looks like a British pretzel.
Yeah, I will say the back of the bag, it says, gives you that distinctive knobbly shape.
I don't think I've ever wanted a knobbly shape.
These are very unattractive.
Oh, and it just has nutrition information.
You don't like knobbly looking twigs?
I mean, I think they warned us what we were in for with the name.
Oh, these look awful.
Knuckles, yeah.
These fucking suck.
We didn't do all the pomp and circumstance of eating one at the same time.
I just got yelled at the first time for it, and then it didn't happen the second time.
Oh, these are so bad.
Becca just went in on it.
These suck so much. Oh, my God. happen the second time? Oh, these are so bad. Becca just went in. These suck so much.
Oh my God.
What have you done to us, Gavin?
These taste like they're burned.
Why are you making us
eat a bag of sticks?
What are you doing?
This tastes like,
this tastes like eating the street.
Yeah, I was going to say dirty air.
This tastes like Christmas.
In England,
a nice communal bowl
on some coffee table somewhere.
Oh, Christmas Day.
If this tasted like Christmas, it wouldn't have made it in America.
Are these intended to be flavored, or is this just their native core?
All right, I got you.
You got my...
Oh, I definitely got it.
Is this what potpourri tastes like?
I love these.
These are great.
Are you serious?
Is this like a thing where you've had them your whole life and you're a little sentimental about them and you tasted them before you had better things?
Is Jacob a beloved figure in England?
Since 1851.
The taste, the initial taste is, like Gracie said, like dirty air.
It's like the street.
The aftertaste is,
I don't know another way to describe it,
but nature.
Yeah.
It tastes like being in the woods,
but specifically face down in the dirt in the woods.
It tastes a little bit like
if you ate a stick from the woods
that somebody dropped a cigarette near.
Yeah.
Like it's not the cigarette,
but it's of the cigarette.
Yeah, there's...
Gracie Gates.
These are 80% wheat flour.
Remember those little weird wood chips
that were on like your elementary school playground?
Yeah.
Oh.
You're eating a campsite.
Yeah, it is very campy.
To me, they're kind of like
a packet of cigarettes found in a canal
that dried off.
Okay.
Yeah. I can see why you'd love in a canal that dried off. Okay. Yeah.
I can see why you'd love that.
And that says Christmas to you.
I will say that is kind of how they look.
So you have to send me your score.
His family used to do that time-honored British tradition where they would bury the presents
in the canal and the kids would have to go take them out on Christmas morning.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's Twiglets.
Let's go to our next crisp. Wait what did, oh Andrew Hayden, right
Okay, the next one
Oh, they're terrible, yeah
The next one is pickled onion monster munch
Okay
I'm so sick of you making me eat pickled shit
Sorry, but I had to vocalize
I believe they temporarily made these smaller
And then everyone complained,
and they made them big again.
Okay.
And I remember as a kid struggling to get my mouth wide enough to fit some of these in.
So pickled, it's Walker's,
which is just Lay's logo, but says Walker's.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
But pickled onion is a flavor.
I'm into this.
Oh, the smell.
All right, everyone at the same time.
The smell when you open it.
This is another baked corn soup. Do not time. This is another baked corn snack.
Oh, yeah.
If you put your nose into the bag and just huff it,
if you just huff it, you can't keep going.
I'm liking it.
Do a real deep breath.
It's got in my nose.
I got some of the powder over there.
Are we all eating at the same time?
Yeah.
You ready, Andrew?
Okay.
I'm ready. These are big. These are big. Here we go You ready, Andrew? Okay. I'm ready.
These are big.
These are big.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Oh, God.
Oh.
Jesus Christ.
Hell yeah.
These are the bomb.
Oh, give me a fucking frazzle.
I feel bad for everyone listening to this with these scrunchies.
Oh, my.
What the fuck is this called?
Monster Munch?
Yeah.
Oh, it, so good.
These are good.
These are like amped up onions.
I don't like them.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
That's interesting.
And they have other flavors than Monster Munch.
Not just pickled onion?
Yeah, there's like...
There's the spicy one.
There's a...
I think a roast beef one.
Uh-huh.
Oh!
What the fuck?
Roast beef.
Nick loves that one. There's a, I think a roast beef one. Nick loves that one. Nick's excited about the roast beef.
Nick, what were your thoughts on that?
Oh yeah, nice and pickly.
The guy that's looking like the
Branston Pizza.
When it comes to food,
Nick is a freak
when it comes to food.
Nice and pickly.
Dude, Nick likes all food. I said pickly. What?
Dude, Nick likes all food.
He's a weirdo.
The only thing I've ever seen
a meat they didn't like
was Sir Strauman.
What's that?
Sir Strauman.
That pickled
pickled in
it's like they package
fish in lye
and then put it in a tin.
It's supposed to be
the smelliest thing on Earth.
It is the smelliest thing on Earth.
I wouldn't know.
Herring goo.
Yeah.
So you all say. Alright. You look like
you hated those, Eric.
I didn't like that at all.
It really
it was the worst part of a
pickle flavor with the
I didn't know there was a worse
part of a Funyun flavor
but it has it. Now see I want
to keep my opinions close to the vest. I don't want to
give up how I feel about it
until at the end.
Why?
Well, I don't know.
Because then you get an idea of how everybody's doing.
You're certainly not going to remember.
I liked them.
Okay.
Oh.
I gave it a high score.
You're not going to...
You didn't have to say that.
I gave it an eight.
You gave that an eight?
Sounds like Andrew didn't go for the 8.
Why would you?
You don't have to give a score.
You just say what it is.
Okay.
I'm not giving a score.
And last,
I'm just trying to follow your leader.
Yeah, and Eric didn't get me any knickknacks, so.
Are we going to eat nuts?
Yeah, I don't know what this was.
How much Nick loves this record.
Watch it be so much better than whatever it was you were going to pick.
Nick, this is the,
watching you enjoy this has been the best part for me.
These are from Thailand.
I don't know.
Wait, is that Thai?
What is that?
Show me the link.
I ordered the thing that I had.
I don't know what to tell you.
You've never even seen these before?
No.
Wow.
Double crunch peanuts.
Let's try it.
I ordered.
Here's the thing.
I had the link.
I ordered knickknacks.
Oh, that's knickknacks. Yeah, look. I ordered these. Get a refund had the link I ordered I ordered knickknacks oh that's knickknacks
yeah look
I ordered these
get a refund
doesn't look like it
they sent me
they sent me knickknacks
alright I'm just gonna have to
I'm gonna have to rip it
and just pass the bag around
oh my god
what is knickknacks
what is knickknacks
the double crunched peanuts
from Thailand
here I'm sending you this Eric
is this what your guys thing thing looks like? Or did
I get the proper thing? Oh, this will
be an interesting variable here.
That's gotta be the right thing.
It's Cheetos. Yeah, that's a knick-knack.
It's just Cheetos. Imagine we're eating those.
It's just Cheetos.
I'm eating a different thing than you. Yes.
I ordered knick-knacks and they sent us knick-knocks.
You didn't verify? You didn't
check it? I don't know what the fuck these things are.
You've got monster munch.
It's got this thing I don't even want to look at.
Been in my office for so fucking long.
And I just look at it every day and I go, I hate this.
I hate this so much.
Nick was like, are you excited to do crisps?
And I'm like, I'm excited to be done with crisps.
Dude, it's a shame those aren't yours because they're a banger.
These are my highest scoring thing.
I'll take it.
All right, let's go in.
Incredible. Wow. Yeah, these are good. They are they real peanuts is this an imitation peanut product?
Nick got it cuz I'm allergic
We should have this conversation in the hall then
All right, Jeff sent me a score. Those are pretty good.
I feel like I've had something similar.
Andrew, what do you think?
Yeah, they're called peanuts.
I don't know if mine tastes the same.
I would say that the knickknacks I had
taste like a Christmas tree.
If I had to compare a taste to it...
They'd probably go well with the Twiglets, then.
Well, it should be illegal
for such a fun name to taste so shit.
It's such a...
I love the name.
It seems like a great time, and it's just trees.
Sorry. That's an aside.
Send me your score.
These peanuts are really good.
Congratulations on the nickname.
This is a great bar snack right here.
Andrew, let me ask you a question. Be honest.
Did you like a single bite
of mine?
Yes. Yes, I did. Okay. There you go. I bite of mine? Yes.
Yes, I did.
Okay.
There you go.
I'm looking at his scores.
I can verify that.
Okay.
Gavin, I'm concerned that not one of these was a potato product.
The way he looked down.
But would you say that crispy?
You know what? It's would you say that crispy? You know what?
It's interesting you say that, Becca.
Because I was faced with all of the most amazing chip products in America.
And I asked, like, is a Cheeto, does a Cheeto count?
And they're like, absolutely. Very split.
Cheese puffs, Cheetos, you can do whatever you want.
You can have a Frito, that counts.
And I thought, no, I'm going to be a purist.
I'm going to go with only potato chips.
Not Doritos, nothing else. Just potato ass chips. Becauseist. I'm going to go with only potato chips. Not Doritos, nothing else, just
potato-ass chips. Because I wanted to
be true to the spirit of this thing. I guess the
corner shops of my youth were littered with
non-potato products. They are in America, too.
Yeah. Okay.
So we have all of our scores for Gavin.
We're going to wait. Now we go to
Andrew. Andrew,
which crisp will you be starting with?
I think we're going to open with the old Dutch barbecue chip.
Oh, what the fuck?
Now, for some additional information, I emailed all of these companies asking if they would like me to bring up any specific points during this very official ruling.
And I got a nonsensical reply by old Dutch.
So we will ignore email their feedback to you.
They gave you a bullshit response. They did saying. And they gave you a bullshit response?
They did, yeah. They gave me a bullshit
response, but Old Dutch, this is a
Canadian staple. This is your
classic, like, at a baseball game
chip. Like, this is a vending machine
chip. It delivers on exactly
what you want from that experience.
And these are, just so everyone at home
knows, these are Old Dutch
barbecues. No, Santa Fe barbecues. Oh, I didn home knows, these are old Dutch barbecues.
No, Santa Fe barbecues.
Yes.
Oh, I didn't know they were famous for their barbecue.
Do you think this is Santa Fe?
Oh, what does it say?
I can't even move it around.
It's French.
Savour de.
Okay.
From where I was, it looked like Santa Fe, right?
You saw it too.
I mean, I'm not even going to act like I can see.
It's flavor in French.
Okay.
So this is barbecue flavored chips.
Did you eat the chip without?
No.
Did you? I'm making sure you didn't. That all i'm asking i'm asking all right andrew you want to count us down three
two one i was ready like three chips in by that time good chip that's a good chip that is a great
value this is a a very subtle barbecue yeah. This is a very subtle barbecue.
Yeah, some would say not flavored as barbecue at all.
What is this?
What is this?
Is this old busk to it?
That is such a plain.
Spice!
What?
A little bit of spice to it.
A little bit.
A little bit.
That is the most plain chip you could bring to International Crisp.
If you didn't tell me this was barbecue flavored, I would never, ever,
ever guess barbecue flavored. I would maybe accept paprika
flavored. If you think this
chip is spicy, you think whole milk is spicy.
No, I'm saying there's a little
spice there. I'm not saying it's spicy.
There is a spice
on it as in seasoning and spices
and herbs. Right, as in when I pick it up
and then I have something on my fingers afterwards.
I sent you my review.
Andrew, what did Old Dutch say?
They said something about like we make quality chips or something, but it didn't make sense.
And it was very disappointing.
They do.
Hey, fuck you.
I didn't say that.
I don't want to hear it.
Very aggressive.
This is like served with your sandwich at lunch chip.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's a passive chip. It's a Canadian. It's a at lunch chip. Yeah, absolutely. It's a Canadian...
When you get this bag of chips with your sandwich,
you go, I should have got the pickle.
I should have got the pickle spear.
No one has ever said I should have got the pickle.
That doesn't happen.
You just heard me say it.
I've said that.
Thank you, Nick.
What do you think of those, Nick?
It's like eating, if it was barbecue,
before the grill is lit.
I would say it's like eating the memory of a barbecue potato chip.
You know what?
Yeah.
It's been a few years since the factory.
When you stop eating them, there's a little bit more of a flavor.
Aftermath.
There is an after, some would say aftertaste.
I like aftermath.
That's way better.
Andrew, you got to send me your score.
The flavor aftermath.
Oh, yeah.
An aftermath. I told you when it's food, he's a fucking freak. I's way better. Andrew, you got to send me your score. The flavor aftermath. Oh, yeah. An aftermath.
I told you when it's food, he's a fucking freak.
I know, man.
It's just so weird.
This is the millennium of aftermath.
So, all right.
That is old Dutch barbecue.
Gavin is going back to his Twiglets.
That was a Frazzo.
Get it right.
Okay.
Of course.
All right. Andrew, Of course. All right.
Andrew, which is next?
Okay.
We are now, we're going to move into the Hawkins Cheezies.
Now, this is also a Canadian staple.
Oh, I've heard of these.
You've talked about these before.
I have.
This is what I love about Hawkins.
I did some research for this.
They had one factory that they made in 1953 burnt down.
They made another factory, and that's just where they've existed this whole time.
They do not pay for advertising
because that means they would have to produce
more Cheezys and they don't want that.
That's also why it's not available in America.
These are dense. This is a really heavy bag.
You could kill someone with this bag.
It's a thick Cheeto.
It's really heavy. It's a heavy Cheeto.
It's a high quality Cheesy.
Also not potato.
Wait, so you're saying...
I went three of four, okay?
I'm not going to take this potato.
I don't know.
Should I just go for a standout?
I don't want to go for this extra knobbly one.
No, no.
Get a classic cheesy.
Yeah.
You don't like a knobbly one?
Well, I just don't want to...
That's a good looking one that Becca has.
I don't want the ratio to be off.
I like the way everyone just holds them up.
Yeah.
This is the most Cheeto-ass fucking smell in the world, too.
Oh, God.
No, it's not.
No.
This smells like Play-Doh.
Oh, it doesn't.
It smells like Play-Doh.
Oh, it doesn't at the end?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Okay, you know what I do?
I never thought about that, but you're right.
Okay.
There's a little bit of Play-Doh in there.
All right, count us down, Andrew.
Three, two, one.
Enjoy.
Oh, God.
That is a texture I wasn't expecting.
That was like work to get. I will say, Jeff took one bite, picked up his phone, Enjoy. Oh, God. That is a texture I wasn't expecting.
That was like work to get.
I will say Jeff took one bite, picked up his phone, sent me a score.
That was instant.
That tastes like a stale something.
It's a stale Cheeto.
Is it stale?
No.
I think that's the flavor.
I think that's just what they are.
I really do think that's what they are.
I feel like every fifth bag of Cheetos, you'll find one Cheeto in the bag that tastes like this.
You're 100% right. That's why Cheetos are a superior chip, and these are Hawkins Cheezies, and they come in a bag like that.
I will say, for a cheese crisp, the off-the-taste isn't too bad.
I feel like cheese can leave you with a mouthful of gack.
This tastes like going to my friend Corey's house and swimming in his pool when I was like eight years old.
Does it taste like his gack?
It tastes like Corey's gack.
Weird.
If you're saying these taste stale, I'm going to attribute that to the fact that they've been in Eric's
office for 8 months
I don't think that's a fair judgment
it's not stale
it's crispy in a corn snack way
these are well within their
eat by date
here's what I'll say
here's what I'll say for Hawkins
I think best of the
container designs I've seen thus far.
It's a well-crafted bag. It looks like
we're going to the circus. It looks old-timey in a good way.
Yeah. You don't like that little bust? Monster Munch is good.
Monster Munch is number two. I hate Monster
Munch so fucking much. I hate him.
I hate him. I hate that guy. I can't
believe some of you are doing this without a beverage.
I guess all of you have them. I need
to actually refill my beverage.
You want to step out real quick?
Do you get something for Becca?
Do y'all still have the Oyocha?
I'll take another Coke Zero, thanks.
The green tea in the bottle?
Love you.
Stay sweet.
Just water, some kind of water.
Gracie, what do you think of Hawkins Cheezies?
I do like that, you know, you eat Cheetos and you have to dig your nails between your teeth to get out the
residue. I don't have that. Oh, I do.
I do. Really? I don't.
I don't. Which is a pleasant surprise.
Yeah, I think it's the kind of teeth we have.
But I don't. I still don't love them.
They're saltier than Cheetos. Yeah, I like it.
Hey, while Gavin's out of the room,
we can all talk freely, right? His
potato chips were dog shit. Yeah, pretty bad.
The only one that was good was the one
he didn't order. I gave a
zero. Oh, really?
Yeah, I gave a fucking zero.
That's a straight up zero. I mean,
I just can't believe he brought that to the table.
I mean, this is like the worst
pretzel invitation. I mean,
you wouldn't bring a pretzel to this contest.
No, no. This is here. No, because you're not an asshole, right?
He's going to have to cancel his trip.
He can't go back to the country.
He can't.
I will say, while we're waiting, he beat these Hawkins Cheezys.
Dude, I love these things.
I'm not against them.
They're really good.
I'm not anti-Hawkins Cheezy.
It's the Cheeto that crunches back.
Okay.
They should use that.
Write them an email.
No, then they would catch on and people would want them to make more
and then they would have to
I'm gonna have to read about their whole
business model after this
I do think the last time it says 2019 on there
and I think that might be the last time they made these
they're just working off like the same batch
they're just going this is pre-covid hawkins cheesies
and they don't want to make any post-COVID Hawkins Cheezies.
I wish they tasted as good as the bag looks.
Hey, Jeff.
Yeah.
Just, they do.
Some might say better.
Okay.
No Coke Zero?
Oh, did you want one?
Well, you grabbed two.
Dude, that was cool.
You flipped my,
Eric just flipped my glasses.
So, Gavin brought me a glass of water in a red Zolocum.
Yeah.
And while in the UK, I learned that one of the most common questions people have about
Americans is, do you really drink out of red plastic cups?
Really?
Yeah.
Why do they ask that?
That's just such a thing in the media.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yes, we yeah yeah that's the most
fucking white trash thing too yes it is how the fuck thanks bud here comes nick to get one
freak style okay andrew what is your next tip oh this is tough we're gonna go with the ruffles all dressed
is the next one
man I was gonna be so disappointed if these weren't here
this is an iconic Canadian chip
these are a classic
as a show
that loves being in the lab
this is where these came from they just decided
one day fuck it why don't we just put every seasoning
on a chip oh and that's all we I have a version of that as well.
Yeah, it's definitely, this isn't
in the lab chip in a way where
I think the first time I ever
had these, I went,
huh.
Pepper and onion?
So it's been a while
since I had these, but I remember it being like
barbecue, but punched up.
Like opposite direction of the barbecue chips we punched up. Yeah. Like opposite direction
of the barbecue chips
we just had.
Right.
These will taste like something
unlike the other barbecue chips.
Yes.
Okay.
Are you ready?
All right.
Count us down.
Okay.
Enjoy.
Eat the chip.
No.
Was that a countdown?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Not what I was expecting. 3, 2, 1, go! Yeah! Go! Mmm!
Not what I was expecting.
Yeah, I like these.
A lot of flavor.
A lot of pulls in different directions.
Ooh, I'd say a lot of flavor.
I feel like this doesn't really know what it wants to be.
I agree with you.
Jack of all trades.
What is this called again?
I need to put it on my note.
Ruffles all dressed. I love a ruffle chip. I love, they have ridges. I'm with you. Jack of all trades. What is this called again? I need to put it on my note. Ruffles all dressed.
I love a ruffle chip.
I love they have ridges.
I'm for it.
And I can't do I can't do decimals, right?
No.
Okay.
All right.
It is a it has some sweetness.
It has like a barbecue sweetness, but it's almost like a salt and vinegar.
There's a little bit of like an onion.
There's definitely salt.
Yeah.
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
All right.
I've rendered my score.
That's pretty good.
I like that.
Yeah.
It's a great chip.
What do you think, Nick?
It's good.
It just feels like it's being pulled
in a little too many directions
to be perfect, you know?
Stretch thin.
That's fair.
Okay.
Okay.
I can see that.
All right.
And we have our final one.
The final chip.
Which of these is your favorite, by the way, Andrew?
I would say the ketchup is my personal favorite.
Oh, my God.
But they're all great.
This was I was hoping for, too.
The Lay's ketchup.
Here we go.
Lay's ketchup.
These were introduced in, like, 1983.
They did a line where they're like, what if we make chips another flavor?
And they released grape, orange, and tomato.
What?
And tomato is the only one that took off.
Wait, was it tomato or was it ketchup?
I think it was originally called.
I think it's the same seasoning,
but they just changed it from tomato to ketchup.
Now, I love ketchup.
It smells like English ketchup.
I've never wanted to eat them.
It doesn't seem like a combination that goes together.
We talked about this today that you've never had it.
Never in my life.
So this is being new for me.
Yeah, nobody ever mixes fried potato
and ketchup ever.
I accidentally put one in my mouth and then promptly
spit it out.
Okay. Let's do it.
Andrew, count us down.
Enjoy the chip.
This motherfucker does not know how to count backwards.
No, I'm done with countdowns. I did it twice.
We don't need a countdown.
That is foul. I did it twice. We don't need a countdown. Ew. That is foul.
I thought I liked these.
Oh, it's gotten.
I don't think I know.
Oh, what is?
That just keeps getting worse.
I need to put more in to get rid of it.
Ew.
I knew I wouldn't like that.
You don't like this, Nick?
No.
I've never seen Nick not like it.
It's a weird ketchup flavor.
It's not too sweet.
I can't place it. Yeah, they're eating more. It tastes like tomato paste. I'm trying to figure it out. It does. It's not too sweet. I can't place it.
It tastes like tomato paste.
It does.
Gracie eating it
and then saying immediately,
I knew I wouldn't like this.
Send me your scores.
That's like if ketchup came in a tin.
Or some sort of can.
Like canned ketchup. Or tomato paste can. Yeah, like canned ketchup.
Or tomato paste.
Oh, yeah, a little bit like tomato paste.
You know, listen, you can come at me with my ketchup in a tin.
At least none of my chips tasted like they came from a troll under a bridge.
It's true.
So I have that going for me.
Why don't you shove it up your damn ass?
I think I'd rather
do that than either.
It was unfortunate
that Andrew said that
right as I was typing
my score.
Yes.
We'll hit that
delete button one time.
Let's,
all right,
let's move on to America.
Okay,
I have everyone's scores in.
We've done scores
for all of Gavin's,

or I'm sorry,

And that I love.
Stand beside me and guide me.
I didn't know that line.
Through the zap.
All right, we're going to start with a classic American zap potato chip.
We're going to do mesquite barbecue.
Do we have enough for everybody or should I?
We got to open it up and pass it around. What's up? Is this your only zaps potato chip we're gonna do mesquite barbecue We have enough for everybody or should we open it up and pass it around?
What's up? Is this your only zaps flavor? Oh?
Hey, hey Becca. We'll have to wait and see okay. Oh my god
These are expired
That's not my fault how long oh my god Gavin two months oh
That's to point out.
He definitely had to.
Oh, green.
That'll kill you.
See that?
Oh.
Thank you.
See the green?
There it is.
It'll kill you.
Okay.
That's how you know it's a real potato.
Jeff, you want to count us down?
Three, two, one, go.
You already ate it?
Yeah.
These are definitely expired.
Yeah, they smell like old oil a little bit.
These are 100%. These are expired.
Now, that's not the chip's fault.
You can asterisk this one.
It still tastes pretty good.
Put it against the knick-knacks.
You gotta send me your scores.
I sent mine.
Well, it's definitely
barbecue.
Moving on. Why are you moving on
I need scores
I sent my scores
Yeah
Why are you trying to rush your quiz
Are you in a rush
No I'm excited to eat good chips
Finally
I need scores
I'm trying to imagine
Gavin and Andrew
Lynn send your scores
I'm just trying to imagine
What they taste like
If they weren't expired
Are yours expired too
They are as well yes
That's how long
that's how we do it
in America
yeah
alright just need
an Andrew score
and then we're gonna
move on
I can't put my finger
on what sucks about those
I think it's the exploration
yeah
alright
what do we have next
next we have
Gavin's already
passing it around
we have kettle chips
you're cross contaminated
kettle brand
kettle chips these are kettle brand're cross-contaminated. Kettle brand kettle chips.
These are kettle brand jalapeno potato chips.
Once again, a pure potato chip.
This is now, Andrew told you about a little bit of spice.
These are what actual potato chips with a little bit of spice taste like. Okay.
You going to count us down?
No, he doesn't.
He didn't count us down at all.
It's a good crisp.
They don't really have a lot of spice either.
Oh, no, there it is.
Yeah, they build and they get you.
They build.
They're builders.
I'd say a 1.5 to 2 second delay on that.
Andrew, what do you think?
I'm not a big spice guy.
Uh-huh.
I think it's a good chip.
I just don't know about the seasoning.
I think this is a great chip for somebody who's not me.
Like, no disrespect to the chip.
This just isn't something that I would get.
These are very residue-y as well.
They are.
This will stay on you for hours.
You want that.
That's later licking.
Just don't touch your eye.
Oh, you definitely should touch your eye and your dick hole.
All right, I've sent my review in.
Mine's in.
Got mine from Gavin.
Nick, what do you think about these?
I like these.
I think I like the other brand of jalapeno chips better, though.
Miss Vicky's?
I think so.
Really?
Yeah.
I think they're too thin.
They're a little spicier, though.
They are.
Becca's always?
Oh, yeah.
No, please, Becca.
I mean, I have two chips that I usually go for, and it's either salt and vinegar or jalapeno.
So, I mean, always a fan.
Yeah, I think it's a great chip.
I have to be in a mood, though, for the, you know, accumulated spice.
But in this small portion, it's quite perfect.
What will put you in that mood?
I don't know, a glass of milk?
All right, should we move on?
What are we doing next?
All right, next up, we're going to do our version of the, what was it called?
All dressed.
All dressed?
The all dressed?
This is Zapp's Voodoo.
Zapp's appears twice on the list.
I was holding my tongue.
This is my favorite chip.
Yeah.
This is Zapp's Voodoo. Zaps appears twice on the list. I was holding my tongue. This is my favorite chip. Yeah. This is the Zaps
Voodoo. What they did is they basically took all
the Zaps flavors and put them into one
chip and called it Voodoo Chips.
New Orleans style. Why are you
taking so many chips when you eat three?
I need to remember the other ones.
Okay. Alright, Jeff, are you gonna count
us down? 3, 2, 1, go.
Oh my god, are these going to count us down? Three, two, one, go. Oh, my God.
Are these expired?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
These are very expired now.
No, only barely.
These are a month.
Oh, these are missing it.
Oh, these are July, 17th of July.
And it's the 18th of July today on the recording.
They still taste good, though.
Yeah, they're still good.
It's interesting because the potatoes expired, but the seasoning is not.
So it tastes good until you focus on the chip itself.
I think it's the oil.
Like, it's always the oil that does it.
I feel like I'm being, my chips are going to be unfairly maligned because we got all
expired chips.
At least you got all your chips.
That's true.
That's true.
Although the best fucking review thing you had was you're not chipping.
I think these are going to score high, but I think these are an absolute disgrace.
And I can't really put any more words in than that.
These are all over the place. They're good, though.
Wait, what?
I don't understand what you just said.
They're going to score high. They're an absolute disgrace. They're good, though.
Why even bother? I don't know.
He did say all over the place.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
Oh, never mind.
It's like UK date format.
Okay.
So those Monster Munches are very expired.
Just so everyone knows, Becca was checking to see if the Monster Munch was expired because
it fucking sucks so much.
But, whoa.
I like it.
I like the Monster Munch.
Disgusting.
Okay.
I have scores from everyone now.
And now we have one more chip.
All right, the final chip.
This has been my chip du jour of late.
I discovered this recently.
I have been slamming these back.
Go ahead and share those, y'all.
Eric, will you share with Gavin?
This is Ruffles with queso.
Oh, wow.
Queso Ruffles.
I've never even seen this.
Classic Ruffled potato chips. It's got theuffles. Smell when you open this.
Classic ruffled potato chips. It's got the ridges.
You can get these at H-E-B.
You can get these at any grocery store in Texas.
These have got a pong on them.
So it's a Texas-specific release?
There's a lot of smell.
Oh, it's a Sabritas.
They're intense.
They are intense.
Okay.
You want to count us down?
Three.
Just these two are expired.
Two.
One.
Oh. I. One. Oh.
I love it.
It's the best pay-as-you-ever-have-ever-had-in-your-life, right?
I love it.
Holy shit, that's good.
That seemed to find a new part of my tongue.
I'm going to put my score in.
Didn't Ruffles have like a cheddar flavor?
Cheddar and sour cream.
Yeah.
It tastes exactly the same.
Yeah.
Oh, but it's cheesier. This is so
cheesy. It is a very cheesy
chip. Andrew, thoughts? I don't
know how I feel. I'm trying to figure it
out. I don't know. I don't have to school this.
Immediately, I'm thinking just question mark.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Question marks naturally turn into
tens after enough time.
It looks like a seven. I think if I wasn't
from this country, this would be a weird flavor to me.
But if you are,
you want to eat this.
Oh, I'm from this
and I love this.
Like, I can't open a big bag
and not sit and finish
the whole thing
while I'm watching sports.
Did you say you're from this?
I'm for this.
Oh.
I'm from this.
I'm from this.
This is honestly,
oh, and these expired
on July 18th.
God damn.
Well, that's today.
Slightly fresher than the ones.
But the taste is still there.
Yeah, they're really good.
Imagine if all my chips were fresh.
Imagine if any of my chips were fresh.
Yeah, yeah. So this just says
guaranteed fresh until
printed date. So they're still fresh.
Yeah, they're still good. They're just not guaranteed.
Okay.
We have all of our scores in for every chip.
How would you like me to execute what we're doing here?
Just before we do that, I just want to point out the stakes are you can never return home again.
I don't know.
That is something that you keep saying.
I know.
But in a contest in which the stakes couldn't be higher, somebody had a bunch of expired chips,
and somebody didn't even have their chips.
I just love it.
And again, the chip that he did have,
probably his best scoring chip.
Eric, how would you rate your producing on this segment?
Oh, I hate this segment, so I'm 10 out of 10.
Okay, interesting.
I'm just going to suck you my score.
I think my producing on this expired in June, so.
You're guaranteed good producing up to the middle of July.
All right, you want to combine the scores and go gag?
Gavin's combined score, Andrew's, and then Jeff's?
So we are looking at...
Wow, these are going to be neck and neck in all of them, too.
I will say, Gavin's chips...
Gavin scored his onion monster munch a nine,
his frazzles an eight, Nick Knox an eight, and Twiglets a seven.
The Twiglets received a one from Andrew and a zero from Jeff.
Are you shitting me?
Those are the lowest scores of the competition.
A zero?
I only gave you a zero because I figured he would be a dick if I went negative.
And that is true.
If I could have gone negative four, I would have gone negative four.
Eat that again.
Tell me it's a zero.
I'll eat it right fucking now.
It looks like a chicken bone.
I was about to say that.
That tastes like shit.
I am eating a crunchy cigarette. Not even a cigarette.
A cigarette butt. This tastes like a crunchy
cigarette butt. Listen to me. You hate white
stuff, right? You hate milk. I do. I assume
milk would be zero. Yeah. You're saying
that's milk? You're saying that's the same as
milk? Yeah, I am. Alright, any
non-lunatics in the room who
would rate that higher than a zero?
The only reason I gave it a one
and not a zero is because that wasn't the last of your chips.
And I didn't know if the bar could be lower.
Like, I didn't know a chip bar could be that low.
So I had to leave room for something being worse.
Oh, they're so good.
So that that was the Twiglets across the board was the lowest rated chip.
Andrew rated the pickled onion monster munch a three.
Oh, Andrew, you're an animal today. chip. Andrew rated the pickled onion monster munch a 3. Ooh.
Andrew, you're an animal today.
I just don't, I'm not a big pickle guy, and that was very pickly. It was like pickle
juice, the chip. The rest of it
pretty in the middle.
Total combined score
70.
For adding everything up, putting them all together,
70. So that's where we're at there.
Solid C-. What did you score the Monster Munch?
I think I gave him an 8.
On the Monster Munch, you gave it an 8.
I liked the Monster Munch.
I quite liked it.
Andrew went, Andrew's chips were second.
Gavin gave the Lay's Ketchup a 4.
I thought that was a fair low score.
I didn't think 1s and 0s were flying around.
That's how bad the Twiglet was.
Wow, okay.
Yeah, no, I mean, if the ketchup is a four,
twiglet, absolutely.
Not trying to be a dick at all.
So if you're like,
wow, Gavin gave the Lay's ketchup a four,
Jeff only gave it a five.
Yeah.
That's fine.
The Lay's ketchup really underperformed.
I expected Lay's ketchup to be polarizing.
Yeah.
I expected it to be polarizing. And I wanted to like it. I like potato's ketchup to be polarizing. Yeah. I expected to be polarizing.
And I wanted to like it.
I like potato chips and I like ketchup.
Yeah.
Jeff gave the Hawkins Cheezies a four.
Yeah, they were bad.
Really?
I didn't like the flavor at all.
Yeah.
But you're just talking about the cheese with the queso.
I know.
Big cheese guy.
I know.
Yeah, but this was from Oz.
Good cheese and your cheese.
Gavin gave the Old Dutch barbecue a five.
Jeff gave it a six, and Andrew gave it a seven.
I just thought that was interesting that you're all bunched up there.
I think it's interesting that Andrew brought a seven to the contest.
Yeah, that's exactly how I feel.
Well, here's the thing.
I gave one seven, I think.
I can't give tens.
I felt like it'd be an asshole if I just gave myself tens across the board.
Interesting.
That could give me a one, though.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So the total combined score is 75.
Oh, okay.
Just barely squeaked by.
The kettle jalapeno for Jeff's chips.
What about the all dressed?
Oh, sorry.
What was my highest rated chip?
The all dressed, you gave an eight.
Jeff gave an eight. And Gavin gave a seven. There you go. So the all dressed? Oh, it's my highest rated chip. The all dressed. You gave an eight. Jeff gave an eight and Gavin gave a seven.
There you go.
So the all dressed was up there.
I like the all dressed.
Okay.
Um,
the kettle jalapeno.
Andrew gave a four.
Wow.
Gavin gave an eight.
Just because I'm not a big spice guy.
And Jeff gave a 10.
And I stand by that 10.
You gave yourself a 10,
huh?
I gave myself a couple of 10s.
In fact, Gavin,
he gave himself three 10s.
You're an animal. The only one knocking
off the 10, Zapp's Mesquite Barbecue,
which Jeff gave a 9.
Yeah, they were only a 9. I don't know
if it's because they were expired or what, but they weren't a 10.
But they were all expired.
I feel like, I mean, you scored like
an American. Yeah. It makes sense.
I scored honestly.
If yours would have been tens, I would have given you tens.
There was no bias there.
It's just flavor.
Wait, what did Gavin give the peanuts?
The surprise?
Oh, were the peanuts my highest scoring one?
Yes.
I gave them an eight.
Jeff gave them a nine.
A nine, yeah.
Andrew gave them a seven, which was his highest score.
Well, I had the real product.
Yep, that's true.
And, Gavin, you gave them an eight. See, I gave you a nine. I gave them a seven, which was his highest score. Yep, that's true. And, Gavin,
you gave them an eight.
I gave you a nine. I really believed. They were as good as the barbecue. Yeah, they were the
best chip that you didn't want. Yeah.
From my home country of Cambodia or whatever.
Thailand.
The rest of the
scoring for Jeff's chips
sort of six and sevens
all around. A couple of eights in there uh from
Gavin and Andrew Jeff's score Ruffles queso 10 kettle jalapeno 10 zaps mesquite barbecue 9 zaps
New Orleans style voodoo 10 the score the summation of um his points is 90 wow wait how's he getting
90 point there's four there's four bags of chips and there's Wait, how's he getting 90 points?
There's four bags of chips
and there's three scores.
How's he getting to 90?
I'm adding everyone's scores together.
6, 6, 10.
8, 4, 10.
6, 8, 9.
7, 6, 10.
That is the way that these have all been scored.
Who would have thought that having
less Americans in the scoring
would make it less fair?
Very interesting.
And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.
Me and Lee Greenwood, baby.
And I won't forget the men who died to give those chips to me.
And I'll probably stand up and eat
queso
ruffles here today.
So I want to say
I love my chips.
Why?
God bless the USA.
I don't know why you would end
before the last line. Here's the thing
about the score. You're going like, wow, these sums are like crazy or whatever.
They're fair.
15 points off on Jeff's.
The thing about Jeff's scores is that even if you knock Jeff down two points in his own scores,
if you go like instead of 10, 10, 9, 10, you go like 8, 8, 7, 10.
So if you deducted eight points.
Still doesn't fucking matter.
Also, you gotta be, and I don't mean this as a personal assault to either of you, the British or the Canadian.
You gotta be a real dumb motherfucker if you're bringing 7s and 8s to your own contest.
Like, where's your, bring your own fucking 10s, man.
You got a whole country.
I'm sure there's 10s in your country.
It just feels obnoxious.
It's not a country of 7s.
It feels obnoxious to me. I will give them a. But look at that. It feels obnoxious. Look at the shapes of my son.
I will give them
a little benefit.
Maybe not all of them
were available for mail order.
Oh, they were.
Also, who knows
if Eric even would have bought them.
And also,
I think the shapes
are playing a big factor here.
These are all very unique.
A knick-knack also would have been unique.
And you're holding three things
that aren't potato chips.
Yeah, who gives a fuck
what they look like?
I'm back.
I'm eating Jeff's ruffles.
They're here.
Oh, boy, I'm into it.
Their queso are so good, man.
Nick is going crazy on the Hawkins Cheezys.
I like them.
Dude, I got a whole bag here for you.
That's such a dense bag.
I mean, we'll obviously have to come back for the knickknacks one day, the proper ones.
Yeah, maybe we'll do that in an episode.
You can bring them back from England.
Yeah, we'll do that.
Maybe we'll do another round where I,
for the American ones, I pick no chips.
I just pick shit like pretzels and Cheetos and Fritos.
And then you pick actual potato chips this time.
Y'all should try to bring your worst
and aim for the lowest score.
Oh, God, that's such a f***ing space move.
That's a really good idea.
I don't be old prawn.
Worst chip challenge.
Can I have Eric's job?
Yes.
Absolutely.
So I'm not sure what we learned here.
I think I had what I confirmed, my thought about American chips.
They're very average.
Like I think Jeff won on averageness.
Like he didn't take any swings for the fences as far as flavor.
He won by 15 points. I don't know what you're talking about didn't take any swings for the fences as far as flavor. I would say whatever I'm in. He won by 15 points.
I don't know what you're talking about didn't take any swing for the fences.
I had a queso-specific chip.
You'd never even heard of that before, motherfucker.
A cheese chip?
That's a crazy.
A very popular cheese flavor is a swing for the fences?
How many queso chips do you got up there in Canada?
None.
That's the whole point of this.
That's right, motherfucker.
But we have a ton in America.
I picked a classic barbecue, which ended up being the worst one.
I picked an everything chip, which you also picked.
So don't.
Yeah, I give you credit for everything.
No, no.
And then I picked a spicy motherfucking chip.
I will say, even though I scored mine, even though I scored mine more reserved,
I'm way more excited to walk past a shelf of crisps in England and pick out these things
than the more bland shit that I find in H-E-B.
You are overwhelmed by
bad choices in England.
You're like a shapes guy. You're definitely
like a shapes guy. Yeah, I mean, one of
the ones I could have brought was the one where you build a tiny
crisp car. What?
Why didn't you bring that? Transformers snack.
If your country focused more on
the flavor and less on the shape,
then you might have done better in the contest.
That is the thing.
You have great names. You definitely
went on names and design.
I can't believe that I ordered
knickknacks and they sent me knickknocks.
I showed you the link. It's the link
you sent. I ordered that.
You go screw that.
They're just next to each other in the warehouse.
Wrong bay. Fuck them knick screw that. Amazon does that shit.
Shit, I'm out of knickknacks. I had fucking knickknocks.
Where are they, by the way?
I'm sure Nick has them.
Amazon does that shit.
I bought a bag, a box of baseball cards from Amazon the other day, and I got a
yoga roller and a
pair of sweatpants. That's not
close at all. Even close to what I wanted. Andrew,
what do you think your conclusions are here?
What's your final sort of thoughts?
I'm never going to buy chips in Europe, anywhere overseas.
Don't blame you.
American chips are as bland as I assumed.
Like, they're just inoffensive.
They're fine.
Wait, wait.
And it says that...
It's too spicy for me.
And I'm happy with what I have.
I think Gavin and I win on adventurousness in the chip realm.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Well, that's what I'm looking for in a chip.
I prefer the adventure of winning.
Says the guy who gave himself tens.
Yeah, because I brought tens.
Why do you sandbag your own fucking score?
Come on, man.
It's such an American rule.
What the fuck? Believe in your own country.
To be fair, I rarely enter competitions expecting to win.
So I'm absolutely fine with it.
That's because you British and you guys don't expect to win.
In America, we expect to win.
You brought twiglets.
I'm proud of that choice.
I think Gavin brought a personal journey here.
That's true.
Christmas 1992, that is.
Right there.
Yeah.
That was a rough year for you, huh?
You're glad you have Twiglets?
Was that the year you got your brother's hand-me-up bicycle for Christmas?
Actually, I agree with that.
I'm glad I had that.
Yeah.
I will never have
them again, but I feel like that's
sort of the point of this, is bringing in
flavors that are region-specific
that he enjoys, but we
don't, because we don't eat dirt
typically, but they do, I guess.
And that's fine.
The average, the total combined
score for Twiglets was 8.
7 of those points are Gavin.
Everyone else is up in like the 20s and it really is eight for Twiglets.
I don't think zero should have been allowed.
That's just nothing.
Okay, we can give you one and it'll be nine.
Bring you up to a cool 71.
Oh, man.
Well, I think we've done it.
Yeah.
Will you take us out from this thing?
Thanks for tuning in to another piece of supplemental face content.
We hope you enjoyed the chip challenge.
Maybe you have some chips from your local location that you're really into.
And if you do, that's cool for you.
I don't know that I give a shit.
No, no.
I'm happy for you.
Do your own with your friends.
Oh, yeah.
Do your own with your friends.
And here's the real deal. Let us know. Yeah. Tell us what your favorite chips are. We want to know. We'm happy for you. Do your own with your friends. Oh yeah, do your own with your friends. Here's the real deal. Let us know.
Tell us what your favorite chips are. We want to know.
We want to try them. If we covered something
from England or if we missed something
from England and the UK because of poor
ambassadorship, let us know what
else we should be trying. I could do another whole round
of this. I'm sure we all could.
We could definitely do that.
I'm going to need you to order a bunch of chips.
Maybe you should bring some tins this time.
And then we'll go ahead and
get unexpired American chips, maybe.
That would be awesome, too. You know, we could just probably
go get these at the store.
I'd be interested to know from the comment
leave is if anyone has experienced this
unique collection of chips.
Who they think has won.
And a special thank you
to Eric and Becca.
Eric, thank you for letting
Becca be the,

regulation,
