Starting point is 00:00:00 🎵 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
Starting point is 00:00:34 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.
Starting point is 00:01:08 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.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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
Starting point is 00:01:33 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.
Starting point is 00:01:46 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.
Starting point is 00:01:57 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.
Starting point is 00:02:23 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
Starting point is 00:02:38 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
Starting point is 00:02:53 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.
Starting point is 00:03:08 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,
Starting point is 00:03:21 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.
Starting point is 00:03:30 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.
Starting point is 00:03:40 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.
Starting point is 00:03:51 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.
Starting point is 00:04:09 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?
Starting point is 00:04:24 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
Starting point is 00:04:41 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.
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:16 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,
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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?
Starting point is 00:05:49 I've noticed an immediate problem. Well, these are nuts, Eric. Nice and... That's what it is. Nope. Knickknacks. That's nuts. Knickknacks.
Starting point is 00:05:59 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
Starting point is 00:06:09 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
Starting point is 00:06:19 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.
Starting point is 00:06:29 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:53 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
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:35 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?
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:08:06 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.
Starting point is 00:08:22 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.
Starting point is 00:08:39 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
Starting point is 00:08:54 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:09:20 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.
Starting point is 00:09:51 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.
Starting point is 00:10:03 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.
Starting point is 00:10:12 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.
Starting point is 00:10:31 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.
Starting point is 00:10:49 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?
Starting point is 00:11:09 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.
Starting point is 00:11:20 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...
Starting point is 00:11:35 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.
Starting point is 00:11:56 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.
Starting point is 00:12:15 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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
Starting point is 00:12:40 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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
Starting point is 00:13:10 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.
Starting point is 00:13:27 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.
Starting point is 00:13:42 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:06 These are big. Here we go. Three, two, one. Oh, God. Oh. Jesus Christ. Hell yeah. These are the bomb.
Starting point is 00:14:17 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:37 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?
Starting point is 00:14:44 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
Starting point is 00:15:01 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.
Starting point is 00:15:10 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
Starting point is 00:15:19 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.
Starting point is 00:15:30 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
Starting point is 00:15:45 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.
Starting point is 00:15:53 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.
Starting point is 00:16:07 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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?
Starting point is 00:16:31 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.
Starting point is 00:16:40 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
Starting point is 00:16:47 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
Starting point is 00:16:58 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.
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:27 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.
Starting point is 00:17:42 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?
Starting point is 00:18:07 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.
Starting point is 00:18:23 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.
Starting point is 00:18:37 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.
Starting point is 00:18:50 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.
Starting point is 00:19:14 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
Starting point is 00:19:28 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?
Starting point is 00:19:44 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
Starting point is 00:20:09 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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.
Starting point is 00:20:34 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?
Starting point is 00:20:44 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?
Starting point is 00:21:10 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,
Starting point is 00:21:26 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
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:21:57 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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.
Starting point is 00:22:24 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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.
Starting point is 00:22:52 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.
Starting point is 00:23:05 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.
Starting point is 00:23:14 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.
Starting point is 00:23:32 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?
Starting point is 00:23:47 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?
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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.
Starting point is 00:24:12 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.
Starting point is 00:24:22 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?
Starting point is 00:24:40 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.
Starting point is 00:25:07 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
Starting point is 00:25:32 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
Starting point is 00:25:50 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.
Starting point is 00:26:05 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.
Starting point is 00:26:19 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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,
Starting point is 00:26:53 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.
Starting point is 00:27:09 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.
Starting point is 00:27:23 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
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:58 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.
Starting point is 00:28:11 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
Starting point is 00:28:26 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
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:16 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.
Starting point is 00:29:27 These will taste like something unlike the other barbecue chips. Yes. Okay. Are you ready? All right. Count us down. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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?
Starting point is 00:30:02 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.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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.
Starting point is 00:30:28 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:43 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.
Starting point is 00:30:54 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.
Starting point is 00:31:06 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.
Starting point is 00:31:20 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.
Starting point is 00:31:34 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.
Starting point is 00:31:48 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.
Starting point is 00:31:58 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,
Starting point is 00:32:13 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.
Starting point is 00:32:33 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
Starting point is 00:32:49 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.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Okay, I have everyone's scores in. We've done scores for all of Gavin's, all of Jeff's, or I'm sorry, all of Andrew's. And now,

Starting point is 00:33:45 Which would you like to start with? 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?
Starting point is 00:34:04 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.
Starting point is 00:34:29 That'll kill you. See that? Oh. Thank you. See the green? There it is. It'll kill you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:34:48 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.
Starting point is 00:35:03 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
Starting point is 00:35:11 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
Starting point is 00:35:19 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
Starting point is 00:35:32 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
Starting point is 00:35:40 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.
Starting point is 00:35:54 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.
Starting point is 00:36:07 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.
Starting point is 00:36:21 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.
Starting point is 00:36:33 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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.
Starting point is 00:36:56 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.
Starting point is 00:37:16 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?
Starting point is 00:37:39 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
Starting point is 00:37:49 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?
Starting point is 00:38:08 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.
Starting point is 00:38:22 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.
Starting point is 00:38:38 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?
Starting point is 00:38:55 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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.
Starting point is 00:39:20 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.
Starting point is 00:39:37 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.
Starting point is 00:39:49 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.
Starting point is 00:39:58 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?
Starting point is 00:40:10 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.
Starting point is 00:40:23 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.
Starting point is 00:40:38 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.
Starting point is 00:40:49 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.
Starting point is 00:40:57 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.
Starting point is 00:41:07 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.
Starting point is 00:41:23 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.
Starting point is 00:41:48 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.
Starting point is 00:42:05 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.
Starting point is 00:42:35 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.
Starting point is 00:42:54 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
Starting point is 00:43:10 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.
Starting point is 00:43:27 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.
Starting point is 00:43:49 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?
Starting point is 00:44:06 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.
Starting point is 00:44:21 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.
Starting point is 00:44:36 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.
Starting point is 00:44:47 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.
Starting point is 00:44:59 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.
Starting point is 00:45:18 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.
Starting point is 00:45:29 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?
Starting point is 00:45:42 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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?
Starting point is 00:46:03 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.
Starting point is 00:46:20 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?
Starting point is 00:46:34 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.
Starting point is 00:46:44 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
Starting point is 00:47:00 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.
Starting point is 00:47:28 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
Starting point is 00:47:42 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
Starting point is 00:48:07 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.
Starting point is 00:48:28 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.
Starting point is 00:48:55 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.
Starting point is 00:49:07 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.
Starting point is 00:49:16 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.
Starting point is 00:49:26 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.
Starting point is 00:49:40 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
Starting point is 00:49:57 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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.
Starting point is 00:50:31 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.
Starting point is 00:50:41 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,
Starting point is 00:50:58 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?
Starting point is 00:51:17 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
Starting point is 00:51:34 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?
Starting point is 00:51:51 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?
Starting point is 00:52:08 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.
Starting point is 00:52:27 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.
Starting point is 00:52:47 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.
Starting point is 00:53:05 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?
Starting point is 00:53:18 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
Starting point is 00:53:30 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.
Starting point is 00:53:49 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.
Starting point is 00:54:05 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.
Starting point is 00:54:21 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
Starting point is 00:54:33 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.
Starting point is 00:54:49 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.
