American reacts to American food that's Illegal in other countries

Some American foods and drinks (like Skittles) are still sold in EU countries. The ingredients have just been "Europe-ified" to make them.. You know.. Safe to consume. On another note, most people from Europe agree that American food has a really odd chemical taste to it. One that genuinely makes a lot of it inedible taste-wise.

EU: until proven beyond reasonable doubt that it's not killing you, it's unfit for human consumption. USA: until proven beyond reasonable doubt that it's killing you, it's fit for human consumption. See, not so different after all. One set of laws made for humans, one set of laws made for profit.

You know we're living in a dystopia when you have to watch ads in order to get to the reaction video where someone else is also watching ads.

It probably needs saying that Coca Cola elsewhere in the world is not the same as Coca Cola in America. A lot of countries don't use corn syrup to sweeten everything, including their beverages, and thus the taste and texture is different (as is the unhealthiness, though sugar is still sugar even if it's sourced from beets or sugar cane).

Did you know that subway had to cancel their bread in some European countries?? Because it contains so much sugar, it’s basically cake

As a European, I have to say that most candy products like Skittles, Kit-Kat or Mountain Dew are avaliable here, the thing is that they just take out the harmful/prohibited chemicals for the EU version in most cases, and also reduce the amount of sugar in them. It's just shows that it wouldn't be too costly for companies to take out that crap from US food and make it less hamful, they clearly can afford it here. It's just a matter of maximizing profits whenever possible, and US regulations lets them get away with potentially poisoning people for money. It's just that simple.

As a European I remember being hyped about Hershey's bar after multiple viewings of Empire of the Sun. When I finally got one, it was absolutely horrible. Still not giving up on Twinkies though and hoping to find some one day.

Keep in mind, a lot of these things are available in lots of countries by name, but the contents can be drastically different (better for you) for various markets

"Well we do have local bakeries, but all they sell is cake".. that's such an American thing to say and it made me giggle.

What Americans call "bread" isn't bread. It's cake.

Friend of me, german doctor, was working in the us for a while and she recognised that the dead bodys in the area didnt decay in a normal speed because of all the chemicals in the food. Might be unimportant for the dead bodys but important for the living ones? She also recognized that the puberty of her daughters started way too early, made some tests, and found way too many hormones. Stopped letting them eat anything outside the house and the disease stopped luckily. What are you doing to your bodies Americans?

The orange tic tak flavor was banned in Australia due to the food colour that it had was carciogenic, but was changed to be un-banned by removing the colouring then colour the container to a similar colour the original had (a safer version).

The question usa citizens should ask is, why do American companies change to healthier recipes for Europe and the rest of the world, showing that they can. But continue to make and sell unhealthy chemical ridden foods to the US people.

In Europe we tend to use food colourings derived from natural sources like fruit and vegetables rather than artificial colouring. For example, orange can often come from carrots, purple or red can often come from beetroot. Sweeteners also often come from natural sources, commonly from fruit juice.

Marabou isn't Norwegian, and was never located in Norway, though it was merged with the Norwegian company Freia in 1990. It was founded in in Sundbyberg, Sweden, in 1916 by a Norwegian, but it's now owned by the Swedish company Mondelez Sverige AB, which is again owned by American company Mondelez International (former Kraft Foods). They bought it in 1993. And their milk chocolate does NOT resemble Kit Kat, since it's pure chocolate with no crunchy biscuit-ish stuff in it. Btw, as a Norwegian, I'm glad we are not hesitating to ban stuff that is, or might be, unsafe for consumption.

If you have the opportunity to visit a German bakery in the states, DO IT! It's an eye opener.

As a swede, I can confirm that we do have skittles, they just need to revise the recipe to be allowed to sell them here.

5:10 “Strengthen dough”? Our German bread is perfectly strong without any additives. That’s just a bizarre thing to even say

In Germany you have so much choice of bread. Today I ate fig and walnut bread and potato and onion bread. In the supermarket you can choose from perhaps 20 types of bread, in the bakery you have another bread. We can throw bread at you here, but our donuts suck

I tried an actual American soft drink once. Barely took a sip before I gagged, it was so sweet it felt like dish soap.
