Nick DiGiovanni - I Tried Every Knock Off Snack

Episode Date: April 29, 2025

Watch to the end to see the craziest knock off snack in the world!

The Bia Rai. Embarked and profite. Embarked and celebrate. Rigolet. Publié. Savour. Admirate. And profite. Vyaray.

The voice that we love that am. The Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite Plus card gives me 4% cash back on all of my monthly bills. With cash like that, I can upgrade my subscriptions to be ad-free. Because I've got enough. Distractions. Conditions apply. Scotia Bank, you're richer than you think. You've heard of Doritos, Lunchly, and Oreos.

But I bet you haven't heard of Dito's, Brunchley, or Borios. In this video, I'm trying the most popular knockoff snacks on the planet. And my friend Babish and I will see if any of these snacks are better than their originals. If any knockoff snack is better than its original, it'll be moved to this championship crate, where it'll then go to a final round where we determine the number one knockoff snack on the planet. And you're not going to believe which snack wins. We'll start out with savory snacks.

We've collected all the most popular salty snacks on the planet, plus their knockoffs. First up, Lace. They're crispy, they're nice and salty, they're very light. They are, as they say on the bag, a true classic. Indisputable. But how about Jays? Jays. If you can believe it, Jays has been around since before Lace.

I've never seen so narrow a chip bag in my life. I feel like they tried to just do the bare minimum to change it. Instead of classic, they wrote original, and they just turned the logo blue and change one letter. Let's try the original first real quick. Simple, just salty enough. Now we got Jase. I would never be able to tell the chips apart.

Indistinguishable. Is it just me or is that significantly better? It tastes more like a kettle chip. It's got a better crunch, which I like. I don't like thin chips. They're almost exactly the same in everything except for the texture. This doesn't really taste like a potato.

This tastes like a potato to me. These I think are better than the original. We're off to a strong start. Doritos. The very best flavored tortilla chips. Well, Coor Ranch is better. True. Let's get our baseline.

Bright, cheesy, delicious. I'm 10 years old. I'm playing Super Nintendo. I'm having the time in my life. This is the original. What we got. Ditos. It's from Bangladesh.

They're supposed to be slightly thinner with less seasoning than your classic Doritos. Slightly thinner, less seasoning sounds awful. The packaging is hilarious. It's the same red outline on the font. It's extremely blatant. Yeah. Do the honors.

Wow, it's so puffy. There we go. Oh my god. There's no chips in there. Let's see what we got. There's 10 chips in there that are broken to 20. Look at the difference between this and this. Horrible.

These definitely look thinner for sure. All right, Dito's. They're stale, no bin of champions for you, F tier. We've all had a Pringle at some point, maybe even eating a whole can by yourself. Not maybe, so much as absolutely, yes? Let's try them real quick. If you insist.

To me, it's almost if mashed potatoes were a chip. I love that. They're fatty, they're salty, they're pretty addictive. Every time I'm a little surprised by how good there. Move over Pringles. We've got Prongles. Prongles. So once again, we have a brand that's literally changed one letter, nothing else.

Instead of the Pringles guy, they've got this strange, wild boar pig. I also notice their slogan, once you pop, That's great. Dude, smell that. It's like crayons. It does smell like crayon. If I shuffle these up, try to guess which one's which. I have no idea.

I bet I can tell by smelling them. Hey, smell a bowl. Pringle. Prangle. Nothing going in the championship in here. Cheetos. I don't like them. Really?

I find that I would never seek them out. Like, I'd never buy them. But if they're there, I'm going to eat them. At flame and high, I think, taste insane. Let's get our baseline. The color of these are absurd. Dangerous. A purplish red.

They're cheesy, they're crunchy, they're tasty. I've got two different knockoffs for these. The first one is called Corn Toes. This is the Bangladesh knockoff of Cheetos. And then from the UK we have spicy nibbly nobblie. Nibbley, spicy nibbley nobles. It sounds like a parody. It sounds like you made that up,

like a fake UK snack. Spice nibly nobles. Let's try the corn toast first. They look a lot like Cheetos. They're airier and crispier. They're really light. The flavor is a little bit subtle. It almost tastes like a street snack or something,

like a carnival food. I can't stop eating. I might vote. I might vote championship. I'll second that vote. Championship crate. Now spicy niblie noblis. They are about half the weight of a Cheeto.

They're sour. Wait, hold on. They're really tangy. They didn't age well in my mouth. Yeah, they leave a very bitter, venegrary aftertaste in your mouth. It's not great. So this is a simple classic.

Ritz crackers. They're always there for me. They're good and fatty too. Like they have a great buttery kind of crunch to them. I feel like the Queen of England. Yeah, well, we had some kind of Michelin-Star dinner party. Get ready for this knock off. Oh boy.

Riz crackers. What? Wait, wow. Those are the same. I mean, they look almost identical, but this one's like darker, and I swear it looks a little oilier. No, they look the same.

What am I saying? They look exactly the same. This is the exact same thing. It's the same thing. Our next original snack, lunchly. I got the turkey stackums, you got the pizza one. The knockoff for these is insane.

I can't wait. Okay, there's the salt drink and the pizza. It's similar to a lunchable. When's the last time you had a lunchable? I used to love the nacho one. I just put a pizza one. You're gonna build a pizza right? Yeah, I'm gonna not build a pizza.

Not bad. The only thing I don't like is that the cracker's kind of sweet. All right, here's my pizza. It's delicious. The knockoff is called brunchly. They copied the text exactly. They changed the name, obviously. Yeah, look at that.

That's a crazy comparison. The cool thing is they're all brunch foods. We got pancakes and syrup, triple threat, cream cheese, bagel, egg, avocado toast, and I'm sorry. Oysters? Yeah, they're going all in on the brunch vibe here. Donutte-a-lice donuts, mini cinnamon rolls and glaze. That sounds dang.

They wrote that this one has 90 grams of protein. Do oysters have a lot of protein in them? What? What am I looking at here, dude? What is this? The eggs are gummy eggs. And the oysters are plastic. The bagel's legit, and they even got a brunchly logo on their cream cheese.

Why did they put fake oysters in here? What's going on? Wait, wait. This says read before brunching. Congratulations, you've been prank. Brunchley is not a real company. Please know that since we're a fake company, we're not bound to any food safety regulations.

I'm not gonna eat that. Brunchley, you've been disqualified. Fully. Good old goldfish. The snack that's Miles Beck. I've been having goldfish ever since I was a kid. Absolutely, and I feel like this was one of those snacks that objectively doesn't taste very good, but I love them.

For some reason, you just gung-g-g-g-g-g-k. They're perfectly salted, each fish, which I love. I used to take a couple. I was in maybe elementary school, and I'd put a couple in my mouth. I could sit in there. I let them soak up to this soft kind of, like, paste almost.

And then I chew them. that paste than I eat it. I used to take fruit roll-ups and fold them up into a little square and glue it to the top of my mouth and just leave it there for as long as it would last, basically. We know what these tastes like. Yes. I went to Dollar Tree and I got some whales.

Whales, I've had these. These are a very clear copy of goldfish. They come in a box instead of a bag. You know how the goldfish on this goldfish packaging is cool? He's got sunglasses on, all that kind of good stuff. This whale is surfing. He's surfing. Frankly, having a better time than this fish, I think.

The colors way darker. Oh, wow, you ain't kidding. I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, those look better to me. They have nice bubbles on them, like a sourdough. Do you see this? They look extra baked. Bit of a letdown.

Oh, that's terrible. They taste a little like dog food. They taste like Kraft mac and cheese powder, but in dog food form. I'm getting a soap after taste now. Oh. We have one more knockoff for these. Balik.

Balik is Turkish for fish. Oh, they smell sweet. The second you bite once, it crumbles into a million pieces. Yeah, flavor's bad. There's no cheese. No champion, great winners here. Our final savory snack, Windows puffs.

These are from Egypt. Whoever made them was so confused about what they were knocking off that they copied a software company for a snack. Windows snacks. That's incredible. They're just puffs. I was certain they were at least going to be square. But they're just puffs.

They're so soft. They have like no crunch to them. This one's hard because we don't even know what it's knocking off. We have nothing to compare this to. A cheese puff? It has no peers. We'll move on now to sweets and treats. We've got all the most popular candies and sweets.

in the world and then they're knockoffs. So moving into the second category, we only have two snacks in the championship crate. We got J's and we got corn toast, our first sweet and treat. Oreo. Oreo. I love Oreos.

Milk's favorite cookie. I don't even know if we have to describe Oreos to you. Yeah, you know what Oreos are. You're a person. As usual, a quick baseline test. A perfect food stuff. Try to picture what an Oreo tastes like, okay? You all know what an Oreo tastes like.

These are Boreos. These are from Egypt. They are a blatant knockoff of Oreo. They basically just added a B to the start of the name and didn't change much else. They're smaller than an Oreo, much lighter in color. I don't like that. The originals are just so much taller than the knockoff.

And there's no cream at all in the middle. The texture on them is not as nice. The taste is more important than texture, am I right? Not enough cream filling, not crunchy enough. Too bland also. Too bland. Worse on all counts. Make room because apparently people love knocking off Oreos in different parts of the world.

These ones are called Ohio. The Ohio's are from a discount grocery store in Germany. I like how they give it a Nutriscore E. It's not. good for you. I got literally the lowest possible health score it could have gotten. Wait, smell them. They smell it. Oh, pretty good. They smell like hot cocoa, like a cocoa mix. Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate Mix. This is what this smells like. Interesting crunch. And it tastes good, too. I like that better. I think these might be going in the championship. Oh my God,

I never would have guessed. Do the honors. Oh, thank you. Ohio makes it in the championship box. Finally. We also got cremos from Bangladesh. They just blatantly copied the logo. They smell like candy. One of those red frosting containers of the buttercream frosting. Oh, it smells like canned frosting. Really sweet. There's a reason it smells like cam frosting. Weird, weird aftertaste. Yeah.

They're not better than Oreos. And we got one more. It's called Good Day. These ones are from Algeria. Fun fact about Algeria, I don't know where it is. They look like they have some sort of strawberry-berry-type filling. Weird way to package Oreo knock-off. It's fruity almost.

Very fruity. There's basically no filling in here. They can't even bite into it. Yeah, those are rough. Don't like them. No. Cookies bad. It leaves a weird thing.

like film. Worst Oreo knockoff. We've now got one of my favorite candies in the whole world, peanut M&Ms. M&Ms. I'm a peanut butter M&Ms guy personally. I don't get, we can be different. We are different. Yeah, no. Look at us. I don't like playing M&M's that much. There's not enough texture. They're too thin. Yeah, they're too thin. Chocolate isn't great, but that chocolate plays so well with peanut. They're a great texture combination. You get a little bit of crunch from the peanut, the great candy shell crunch. What color are you going for? I'm a, I'm a cherry guy. And I always do this. I always bite off half.

I don't do that. Just so I can see what's going on. I'm gonna go for one of the orange ones. Before we look at the knockoff, remember, there's a little small white M on every single one of these. Let's talk about the color. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, brown.

Let's just see if the color's different. And let's see what the color ratios are. We have two great knockoffs for these, but the first one is I and me. That's T.J. Miller's character from the emoji movie. How do you even know that? I don't know. I didn't even see that movie.

There he is. That's the actual image. So they copy the logo from a random movie. The bag looks the exact same. They just went I and me instead of M&M. What the? There's ghostly white. White?

I kind of like white M&Ms. I just think it's kind of cool. Is it just me or do they have a cleaner, shinier shell? Much better color. These are the original. These are the knockoff. No contest. Those look better.

I don't like how there's no letter on that. Yeah, that's bothersome. I'm gonna have a white one, because I've never had a white M&M. Exactly. Yeah. Oh my god, did you break your tooth? No, but I felt like it.

I thought you broke your tooth. I thought so too. What the heck is this flavor? It's not an M&M. 100% I can't taste the chocolate. The nuts are so stale, they're smushy. Imagine thinking you're about to have a peanut M&M and eating that.

There's one more knockoff. Thank God. S&S. These are from Egypt. This guy is the man. Compared with the original. Tough to open. Try to open right there, just try.

Oh, I found the spot. That's ridiculous. That's just chocolate. There's no candy shell. Hmm. It's disgusting. Oh, it's getting worse. The chocolate tastes like it's artificially sweetened to start.

Start. Once that goes away, you have a rancid bitter peanut. I've never had such a progression of grossness. Just look at the difference in these two. I feel bad almost. I don't even want to look at them anymore. Awful. You want to save those? Snickers is a tried and true classic. Since it's cold here in the winter, I sometimes have one of my jacket, and then I'll let it get cold outside, and then I'll eat it while it's cold. It's always got that iconic sort of swirl on the top of the chocolate. You can see that they dipped it and then pulled it out. Take a quick bite. Okay. It's good. Super chocolatey, some of that chewy caramel and nougat. One of the best candy bars at all time. Here's a good close-up look at the layers in your classic Snickers bar.

It's beautiful. It looks like one of those cross-sections of the earth. The knockoff is called Snipers. I bought this one from Pakistan. They copied the logo almost exactly. There's no nutritional information. There's nothing. Blank.

Packaging's odd. It's like papery. That's just a Snickers bar. They just rewrapped a Snickers bar. Why did they do this? Is Snickers illegal in Pakistan? Yeah, that's a... That's straight-up Snickers bar.

Yeah. We've got one of their Snickers knockoff that comes from turkey. Cartoin, peanut. Oh, bite-sized. Yeah. White chocolate Snickers. What is this gonna be like? I don't know.

What's that? It's like eating bubble gum. I don't like it. Rancid. Kid cat. They're crisp wafers covered in milk chocolate. Give me a cat. Give me a cat.

Give me a Kit Kat. Just give me a Kit Kat. What I like is that you can see the wafer in the bottom here. Oh, that's beautiful. Should we split it? Oh, you monster. It's simple, it's crispy, it's crunchy. You know, I always wish there was a little bit less chocolate.

This is Kicker. Kicker. It is the Kit Kat knockoff from Korea. Oh. I can't read anything on here because it's all in Korean. Well, first off, it says since 1979. When did Kit Kat come out? 1935.

It's a much closer copy than it kind of seems. That looks good. Am I crazy? That looks nice. No, this looks really nice on the inside. Also, I'm noticing on the picture real quick that there's five layers. Kit Kat only is three.

Looks like darker chocolate slightly. Smells like that's higher quality chocolate. That smells like Cadbury, yeah. Wow, here take a little bite. No? No. The chocolate's better. The wafer tastes a little stale.

Tastes like those pink or white sugar wafers. Really blend ones. Yeah. If they put that chocolate in this Kit Kat, game over. I think it would be in the bin. We also have cool break. This is from Algeria.

You gotta be kidding me. Oh, whoa. It's broken and the wafers fully disclosed on the bottom. Whoa. The humanity. They totally copied Kit Kat with writing their name right in the center. Chocolate's better.

I agree the chocolate's better. I'm stuck on the wafer. Is the wafer good enough to be better than the Kit Kat wafer? I don't think so. These I love. Kinder egg, yep. I get one every time I travel. You open them up and you get a toy on one side,

and then you get sweet cream cocoa wafer on the other side. This one has a little, what looks like a Joker Bunkop. Let's try the original. You open that side. I'll open this side. I've definitely never had a kind of a kinder egg. This is new to me. Oh, for us.

Look at the toys, kind of cute. Some assembly required. What's going on there? That doesn't seem right. That's clearly supposed to go in there. Wait, no, I think I had it right. It's an iPhone holder. Oh, kids' toys are now iPhone holders.

Great. So is this like the center of a Cadbury cream egg? It's like eating Nutella. Oh, fabulous. It's delicious. The knockoff is called a king egg. Oh, just look the size of it. They've just doubled everything.

They have two chocolate spreads and two toys, plus a game. Whoa. Oh, that's not as fun. I don't like how it's not in the other half of the egg. It's not an egg. It's not to say it can't taste better. That's the worst fidget spinner I've ever spun. It barely goes.

It came with a fidget spinner? Oh, mine went. It's almost like a Michelin dessert with a lot of different textures going on there. I don't know, this can be good. These are like caviar spoons kind. Oh. It just like a protein bar.

Something meaty about it to me. Maybe the worst thing we've had today. Ah, that's disgusting. It tastes like bake butter flavor. Oh, here's a game. Is that supposed to be a maze? And this little egg is saying candy, I love cook. Ice skating and ice cream.

And my BFF is Bella. I had it memorized, Nick. Our next original suite is Lind chocolate. I've eaten so many of this exact bar. It's disgusting. The original has nice fancy packaging, cursive writing, even the material that they pack the chocolate. Listen to the sound it makes.

Oh my God. Yeah, no, this is good. I don't know how they're gonna want up this. This is Lint, the original. This is Lina, the knockoff. This should be illegal. Everything today should be illegal. Every single thing.

is known for their fancy Swiss chef. These both have a chef on the back. Look at the difference between these chefs. I'm not buying this. This guy's not a chef. He's never cooked in his life, this guy. That's a model. Oh, it's been oxidized.

We know what we're doing. The snap is not as good. Oh. Is it bad? Oh, terrible. That doesn't even taste like chocolate to me. It tastes like a marshmallow. It tastes exactly like a marshmallow

with the texture of a chocolate bar. Kinderre Bueno. It's the same company that does Nutella, and it's basically just a crunchy, crispy Nutella Way It's amazing. I love hazel night. I love chocolate.

Look at how beautiful it is. They're not paying me to say this. I just love them. Hmm. I mean it's unreal. God, that's good. Algeria decided to make happy Chaco kids. They used white chocolate.

They tried to coffee the drizzle, but it didn't work. That's a sorry imitation. It's fine. I don't like white chocolate. If you like white chocolate, you love that, I think. You can't be the Kinderbueno. No, thin mints. Girl Scout cookies.

You like Girl Scout cookies? Love Girl Scout cookies. These are crispy chocolate wafers that are dipped in a mint-chocolety coating. perfect amount of chocolate. The mint is refreshing, it's cooling. It's almost like you walk into a steam room with all that eucalyptus, but it's for your mouth instead. Steam room for your mouth.

These are thin mints. These are thick mints. I think this company got a little confused as well what they were knocking off, because they copied the name from Girl Scout cookies, but they made peppermint patties. Yeah, oh, my gosh. Chocolate looks high quality.

I like it. The texture on the inside of this is like perfect. It's like doing a cheese pool. Yeah, dude. Oh my gosh. Look at that! Here's the ultimate test. I'd put it in the championship in, if you will. Yeah.

Congratulations to Thickmints for moving on to the finals. Congratulations, thick mints. Whiphan! Twizzlers, get twizzled. I love Twizzlers. They're not my favorite favorite, but once you pop, you just can't stop. I don't know about you, but I almost like to dry age

my Twizzlers a little bit. When you buy Twizzlers, you should open the back, leave it in the cupboard for like two, three days, then you can eat it. I could go a week. Are we like the same person? We look exactly the same. The thing is about Twizzlers

are not too sweet. Very old man candy. The Korean knockoff to Twizzlers, Twizzle. We were only able to get our hands in the watermelon flavor. They're filled with a sweet and sour jelly. In terms of the copycalf, it's not overly crazy. I mean, we have white text with blue outline in the same font. If they wanted to sue, they would have grounds.

Ooh, that smells like watermelon candy. And look at the sheer amount of jelly. There's a good amount of jelly in there. I'm not a big watermelon candy guy. I don't like the way a fake watermelon tastes, and that's what it tastes like. I kind of like them. They have a great texture.

Really great texture. Really great. More I'm eating it, the more I like it too. If you wanna put it in the grate, I'm right behind you. I can't believe it. Twizzlers have been unseated by two Twizzler lovers. Nerds. Maybe my favorite candy.

I love nerds. I haven't had nerds for a long time. I do like the texture. There's a bit of a sweet and sour aspect to them. If you suck on them, they start sweet, get sour, and go back to sweet. It's a journey. So should we go both together?

Big time. Oh, right. Ah, there we go. Total sugar rush. Yeah. Perfect amount of sweet and sour. We got one that comes from the Willy Wonka company. Dweebs.

These come from the UK. I don't like how this opens. That's one of the worst looking packages I've ever seen. Look at the color. It's like green and white. These are both watermelon and cherry, by the way. Look how saturated these are. Wow. Compared to those, that's nuts.

Those look terrible. Oh, they're soft. It tastes good. Good flavor. Not good texture. I actually think I like the flavor of the dweeps better than the nerds. 100%. That tastes more natural. They're like jelly beans.

I almost think that they're gum for a second. The flavor is definitely better, but everything else is worse. Another absolute classic Skittles. Rainbow-colored chewy candy with a nice hard candy shell. I can't think of anything like it. Oh, I love this sound. So chewy.

Amazing. Giggles. Giggles. Is this a US brand? It is actually. It looks like they don't use any artificial dye, so the colors might not be. Oh, no. That's beautiful. Looks like you left them out in the sun.

Look at how a lot of them get totally screwed up. The difference in the production quality is night and day. Whoa, they're softer. They do have that organic candy taste to them. They're almost like a gummy in the center. I bet I can squish one of these with my finger. I can see yeah. I think the grape one is better than the grape skittles. Orange tastes better too. The orange is like an incredible orange flavor. It's almost like orange vanilla like orange cream's bowl. We've agreed that red and yellow are worse. I think we've also agreed that purple and orange are better. If green is better, I think we have to put these in

the championship credit. Here it goes. Be honest here. I'm gonna try green one. Those skittles. I mean, suddenly that tastes like chemicals. That tastes like cleaning products, yeah. I think we gotta do it. I think we might have to do it.

Championship crate. Okay. If I was stranded on an island and I can only take three things, I might bring Nutella. What are the other two things? Water, probably rotissory chicken. So the original is a cocoa hazelnut spread.

Let's just get a quick baseline test here. Amazing. This is only a couple of the knockoffs. Everybody likes to knock off Nutella. This isn't really a knockoff. This is just Nutella with my name instead. I hope that they do that for me. I can make that happen.

By the time this video is out, you will have a jar that says your name. Thank you, Nick. I'm feeling so generous, then I'm gonna pick three other random subscribers, and I'm gonna send them the same thing with their name on it. This guy.

The first knockoff is from Bangladesh. It's called Nusela. The main difference here is Nucela is made with chocolate and almonds instead of chocolate and hazelnut. Oh, I don't know about that. Look how wrinkly that is. Come on.

I paid good money for the. Nick paid good money for this. Oh, it's stiff. Better or not? Not. We're moving on to Nossila. It's a breakfast staple in Spain and Portugal. Doesn't it look like it's been half eaten?

It was sealed. Whoa, it tastes weird. I feel like it has the flavor of a dried leaf. I'll agree with that, because it's not good. No. Nope. No. Nuga. Nuga!

The Turkish version of Nutella comes in this premium feeling glass jar. And it has a higher hazelnut concentration than Nutella at about 16% hazelnuts as opposed to Nutella's 13%. Wow. The smell of hazelnut. Hit me in the face like a hazelnut being thrown at my

face. The hazelnuts rancid. Absolutely. Yep. No good. What a bummer. New Setti. This one is from a discount grocery store in Germany. It also comes in a nice glass jar. I don't know. That's tasty. Wait, you getting a weird aftertaste? Better or worse? Worse. Worse. Worse. Next up we have Mestella, which is from Egypt. They copied the color scheme of the name. That does not look appetizing. Does not. It's very similar. I would say it's a little looser. I don't know what's going on there. This is the furthest off from Nutella that we've tasted. Worse. Yeah. Next up we have Nutella. Tocca looks very similar in terms of the label.

Supposed to have a stronger hazelnut flavor. Oh, it's like looser. Oh. I get more cocoa and a different chocolate flavor. Do I love newtoka? I don't know. I think we got a dead ringer here. I don't think I like one better than the other.

Dead tie. Do we put it in the crate if it's a tie? I think we said tie goes to the challenger. If we didn't, then we can say it now. Newtoka, you're going to the championship round. Congratulations. The last thing I want to compare real quick for Nutella are these Nutella and Go breadsticks.

And then you've got Nutmaster. That's my digital signature on all my emails. Let's just do a quick rapid fire. Oh my gosh. Oh, the stick is just too hard. So only one out of all those contenders. And it was just a tie. It couldn't raise above.

In the end, there was only one Nutmaster. What? Hmm? Fruit loops. Fruit loops are the unhealthy cereal that we always want as kids and our parents never let us eat it. I wasn't allowed to eat it and I didn't try it until I was an adult and I hate it.

The smell of these, they smell insane. Oh, I love the smell. Oh, that's awesome. Oh, God. This is natural fruit flavors? I doubt that. What is this is? The knockoff is called fruit rings.

It's from Egypt and there's a weird alien with three eyes on the front instead of two can Sam. Oh! They have really no color. Original knockoff. There's a hair on it, there's air, there's a hair. There's a hair? No, there's not.

Oh my god, that's disgusting. That is a hair. Oh, man. I don't, I seriously, I don't know if I can eat these. Smells a little more natural. No way. That doesn't smell natural, well. It smells like, no, what does that smell?

It's, it smells like lip balm. It tastes like if you took that lip balm and you used it like butter on corn. Our final suite, before we move on to the last category, which is drinks, you're gonna love those, frosted flakes. It's a corn breakfast flake that's coated lightly with sort of a frosting. And in the front, you've got their amazing logo, Tony the Tiger. They're great!

I love the lightness of these flakes, I love the sound. Ooh! Hmm, such a light, hard crisp. I just got, like, set back in time to like a morning right before school, and I feel like I'm a little kid again, and I feel like a little kid again, and I'm a little kid again. I didn't do my homework. But yeah, no, they're very tasty. The knockoff is called Frosted Flakes.

They've kept the same exact name. Even the font is strikingly similar. Similar. They went with a baby giraffe as the mascot instead of Tony the teeth. Also, do you notice that it's just taped on top with like a piece of scotch tape? Uh-oh, uh-oh. I guess they couldn't get glue.

At least it's still sealed on the inside. Whoa, what the-y. What the smell is so bad. Oh, that smells like the DMV. Those are so bad. Oh my god. Those are terrible. What is that?

There's no sugar. It's horrible. And they taste like virtually nothing, like old corn. So after round two, we have seven items in the championship crate. About seven more than I honestly thought would end up in there. For this section, we've collected

the most popular drinks from around the world, and of course all their knockoffs. The first one I don't think I have to explain. It's classic Coca-Cola. And I always get mine in the glass bottle because I think it tastes the best. I feel refreshed just from hearing and looking at it. Thank you.

The color, kind of the color. of a reddish-brown amber. Like a coffee with some red food coloring in it. We can't do that after every drink. The knockoff, Moly Cola. It comes straight from Italy, and it's a copy of Coca-Cola, but it doesn't have any sugar. I like the bottle.

It's so easy to hold. Yeah. Love the Italian flag on top. Ooh. Oh! It looks to be browner, I think. I think it's almost the exact same. Yeah.

What the heck? Doesn't have as much flavor. It feels like there's less spices in there. With the artificial sweeteners, not only does it taste a little, off. The sweetness hits later. The original better. 100%. Our next original is Gatorade. What I think the color blue tastes like. As usual, on this side, I'm gonna put the original. Oh, man. Oh, those electrolytes. Sweet, salty, blue. The knockoff is called Energiae. It's a South African Gatorade copycat. They didn't have a blue flavor that I could find, but I still feel

like this is just such a blatant knockoff. They put it in one of those power-aid type bottles. Yeah, they're ripping off everybody at once. It looks very serious. It looks like it's gonna be super sweet. Violingly red, it looks like cough syrup. That's a lot of red dye 40. Ooh, tart finish there. It's definitely not better than Gatorade. It's almost got a vinegar acidic finish.

It finishes so tart. Yeah, that's gnarly. This is nice and sweet and gentle, like me. Orange soda, Fanta specifically. Fanta or Fanta? You've probably tried Fanta, but if you haven't, it's a very sweet, sparkling orange soda.

It is so carbonated that when I opened it, I could feel all the bubbles crawling up the side of my head. Oh, God. I wonder if there's any semblance of actual orange. Cheers. I feel like I'm drinking neon. Whoa! Yeah, it's well balanced.

There's a little acid in there, but it's very sweet. The knockoff is called Twing. Twing! It's from Bangladesh, and it's supposed to be a sweet and sour orange soda. It's so much smaller. Yeah, I don't know why they made it so small. That is like four gulfs.

It looks the same. There's not even enough to split between us. Like, there's not that much of it. It's pathetic. Mm-hmm. It tastes like sunscreen. Oh, da-da-u-da-pah-poh. Nope.

No wonder they make it so so. malt, gross. We've already had enough sugar today to kill a horse. So at this point, let's just cap it off with some Red Bull. Get some caffeine in the mix, yeah. When I was in college, I'd wake up 3.34 in the morning, get in the car with my friend with our surfports. We drove to the nearest beach, and we chug one or two red bulls,

and then go surfing until class. How were you alive? It was awesome. Just to sort of compare the color of the two drinks. I had no idea what color it was. I'm a purist, so I drink it right out of the can. I love the flavor, personally. That's great.

The knockoff, which comes from Bangladesh, is called Speed. It just looks... It's got a heart rate, EKG on it. I don't know how I feel about this one. What color is it gonna be? Red. Ah, oh, halfway, orange. Whoa.

That's disgusting. Definitely worse. Mountain Dew. Do the do. Mountain dew is a citrusy lemon lime flavored soda, which I think has caffeine. In terms of the color. Not occurring in nature. Let's give it a try.

Very sweet and syrupy. Yeah. The knockoff. Mountain Lightning. Mountain Lightning sounds more exciting. They could have tried a little harder. Clearly they copied a bunch of the details. details. Oh, that looks pretty much the same.

Ooh. Hmm. This one I thought was gonna be better based on the smell, but it's just kind of boring. It doesn't have the acid. It doesn't have the tartness to it. Sorry, Mountain Lightning. I'm not sorry.

Our next soda is Sprite. It's got a classic lemon-lime flavor. I love the color. I actually like that it's clear. It's very pure. It just tastes like sweet water. It's refreshing. The knockoff is from Bangladesh.

It's called Klemann. Not as appetizing sounding. It's Sprite. It is the most popular lemon soda in Bangladesh, which means it's more popular than Sprite, and it's supposed to be an exact rip-off of Sprite. Only one way to find out. Let's see if it's clear.

It's clear. Ooh, smelling. Whoa. Okay. Yeah, that's different. More flavorful. I think it's better. I'm really torn.

The taste is just slightly different enough that I can't tell which one I like better, so I'm going to leave it to you, which one moves on. Crater Champs. Our final soda, before we move on to Crown the Champion from the Championship Crate is Dr. Pepper. I have an embarrassing admission to make. I don't know if I've ever tried Dr. Pepper. What?

Shh, don't tell anybody. Dr. Pepper's one of the most popular sodas in the world. It's got kind of a sweet and spicy flavor. I don't know that anything could beat this. I'm very excited to try it. I don't know if anyone noticed this, by the way, and huge props to you if you did. But this entire video, I've been wearing a knockoff happy potato shirt.

And I'm not the real baddish. I'm a knockoff. You smell that. Whoa! Since you haven't had it, you need to get a good, strong baseline. Yeah, there's like, cherry essence? Maybe licorish. That's been nice.

My first Dr. Pepper. Glad it's with you. That's really good, yeah. It's really, really delicious. I thought it was gonna taste nuts from the smell, but it's actually pretty subdued. Good luck beating that. Dr. Perky.

Dr. Perky. Dr. Perky, you can buy at some grocery stores in the United States, so somehow they've snuck by. There's also Dr. Bob. It's just like, it shouldn't be allowed. That should be allowed, because it's so far away from it. Why don't you try Dr. Perky, and I'll try Dr. Bob. Ooh, I love the look of the foam on Dr. Bob.

Oh. Dr. Perky, give us a rating. No, that's good. Now, Dr. Bob. Try it. I don't know. I might like Dr. Bob better. It tastes just like it, but there's more flavor.

There's more spice. Yeah. I think Dr. Bob is moving forward. Holy heck. You know what this means? What? In front of us, you'll see what we've determined to be nine of the best knock-off snacks on the planet.

But the question is, what is the number one knock-off snack? Very difficult question to answer. Some of these are just perfect imitations. Some of them are improvements upon. Let's make a quick tier list. First up, Giggles. Where are you putting them? Weird looking, delicious tasting, interesting texture.

I'm giving them a C. I would agree with you on that. Let's put it C tier. Next up. Nutoka. Same exact thing as Nutella, so really good. A tier. A tier for Nutoka.

Thick mints. Thick mints is tough. I feel like it kind of barely made the list. I'm gonna give it a D tier. I give these a B. They're just giant junior mints and I love junior mints. Yeah. So it rounds to a C tier.

Horn toes. I think you like these more than made. Horn toes, I think I'm putting S tier. Dispute B. Still rounds today. That's a great score for corned. Ohio S-tier. Really? I loved these, yeah.

I didn't love the frosting. I'm actually gonna give these D-tier, which brings the average to a B. Why, you figured that out fast. Dr. Bob. Dr. Bob. I love the name so much. I'm gonna give it an A-tier, I loved it.

I'm also, I think, gonna give Dr. Bob an A-tier. It was really good. Just more flavorful Dr. Pepper. Jay's potato chips. I loved these. I'm gonna give these an A tier. I'm actually gonna put them at a C-tier. Very, very, very good,

but they weren't my favorite knockoff item. So that average is do another B-tier. Clemon, where are we putting this? This is like a slightly better Sprite, and I don't even like Sprite that much to begin with, so I'm gonna give it a D tier. I'm going lower, I'm going F tier. This one's averaging out to an E.

Twizzle. You were on the fence about these. I was initially, but like, they really grew on me. I really enjoy those. I'm gonna put these at A tier. I think they were just so tasty and the texture was perfect. I'm gonna agree with you on that A tier.

A tier? Yeah. Dang! Yeah, those are good. These are our final rankings of the best knockoff snacks in the world, but we had a few A tier, so let's both reveal our favorite snacks. Quintos. Twizzle.

I love them. I wasn't even sure about these at first, but I love them so much, the texture and the flavor. Holy. Thanks for eating stacks with me. Thanks so much for happening, dude. That was a lot of fun. Lazzang sur-gillet, puissance-moyerned for 15 minutes. We're like to dojo.
