Hi, I'm Josh. I'm Ollie. And we are at a random American mall. On the set of Stranger Things, season 6. We could be. To have an authentic American mall experience. Mall's hard for English people to say. M-mall. It's right at the back of your throat, you know? Alright, come on, let's go have some freshly baked pretzels. Let's do it. Auntie Anne. I'm guessing that's Papa John's sister. I joke that this was Stranger Things, But it really does feel like a Demogorgon could, Crawl out of any hole here and kill a semi-main character. Luke, if I were you, I'd be worried. Because me and Josh, indispensable. We could probably wipe out Luke. You're an idiot. A recently introduced, but very loved character on the channel. So loved. A lot of people's favourite. It's heartbreaking. It's absolutely heartbreaking. I swear, when you walk by an oven, freshly baking pretzels, There's nothing that you want more in life, Than just to get that pretzel in your belly. And that is the reason everyone buys Auntie Anne's. She's the best smelling auntie, ever. Ever. Honestly. Oh, they're hot. They're properly warm. First up, the original. This must be straight out of the oven. Auntie Anne pretzel. Oh, it's not just warm, it's like hot. I'm telling you. Let's just go for it, eh? Let's go for it. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Here we go. Yeah, soft pretzel. Wow. Salty. Chewy. Chewy bread. Very satisfyingly chewy, right? She recommended we put it in a cheese dip. OK. Wow. There's no real cheese in there, sorry. But what? Look at the colour. OK. Cheers. Wow, that's cheesy. It works. It does. That works. Incredibly cheesy. OK, so next one we have cinnamon. The classic. Cinnamon. Another classic. Oh, I love that they're all so hot still. This is incredible. OK. Cinnamon, sugar, pretzel. Look at that. There's so much sugar on that. It's going everywhere. Cheers, mate. Yeah. It just hits a spot, doesn't it? Wow, that is elite. That is elite. Now, I did a bit of research into Auntie Anne. Oh, yeah? Before we came, yeah. Turns out, from an Amish family.. Yeah, started making pretzels just at home, sold them at a local market. So popular that it started expanding. She called it Auntie Anne's because she had 30 nieces and nephews. Called Anne? No, she's Anne. She's the auntie. Wow, I really got the wrong end of the stick there. That would be super weird. Yeah, that would be weird. It's like, what should we call child number 29? I think we know what we're going to call it. We've got 28 other Anne's in the back. Why are they all girls as well? I mean, it's crazy. But yeah, kind of mental, hey? Yeah. Look, let's try dipping this in a sweet glaze. Wow. OK. That is too much. This is like melted icing sugar. Oh, my gosh. I mean, that's way too much. That's insane. It's like a deranged thing to do. It's a bit unhinged. It's a bit unhinged. Honestly, I did a little bit of research as well, Josh. Oh, OK. I was like, Are there any other fast food joints which are named after aunties? They're aren't. But after the Ukraine war started, McDonald's pulled out Russia, And the Russian government just were like, We'll take over all the McDonald's. What should we call it? Uncle Vanya. They renamed the existing McDonald's. They call them all Uncle Vanya after like a Chekhov play. It's like the most Russian thing ever. And then the best thing is the logo. They just turn the McDonald's logo 90 degrees, And they're like, all good. No way. Mother Russia. All right. Fresh out of the oven. These literally weren't ready when we arrived. Oh, my gosh. Wow. It smells like pizza. It flipping smells like pizza. I love it. Mr. Z is absolutely livid somewhere. He is fuming. He's a few thousand miles away, And he's just like, something terrible happened. We're just eating this abomination. Pretzel bites. Don't knock it till you try it. Look at that. One pepperoni per bite. That's all you want from a pepperoni pizza. And it's a mini pizza. I mean, there's cheese on there. Yeah. There's pepperoni and they've supplied us with some marinara sauce. The dip. I'm going to try it first without. Okay. Tastes like pizza. What's not to love? It's a bit more salty with the pretzel salt. Soft, easy. All right. Let's have a dip. These are hot, by the way. Straight out of the oven. So hot. Wow. In the sauce. They recommended having it with the lemonade. That was the pairing. Yeah. I feel like I'm on Lake Garda, you know? In like a formal garden, having freshly baked pizza. In Italy. A headless woman. That's basically a Michelangelo's work over there. Seriously. All right. What else have we got? I'm kind of amazed at how many different iterations of pretzels there are in the world. We are entering an arena in which Brits have skin in the game. Okay? A sausage roll. A sausage roll is beloved in the United Kingdom. Yeah. This is a sausage roll, I guess, made out of pretzel. One way to find out. Let's do it. That works. That works. Strong wiener taste. Excuse me? A wiener and a strong taste. Like with a British sausage roll, it's more like porky. Whereas that just tastes like a baked hot dog. Yeah. I just can't go over strong wiener taste. Yeah. This is really showing its hand in how unhealthy it is. Like all of the other stuff is unhealthy. But this really tastes unhealthy. You know? Luke wants to try. Yeah. What do you think? Please don't be better than Greg's. I would't say it's better than Greg's. Is it better than Greg's? Okay. Imagine having that though, walking around the mall, particularly if like, Sometimes I might go shopping with Sarah. She likes to browse. Yeah. I can imagine sitting on this bench, And just working my way through that whilst she has to browse. I mean, Josh loves to browse. Right. We go into, we go into shops. I'm just realizing how old I sound. You would, yeah. It is nice to just sit down and read the news, While you do a bit of shopping. You know? You would gain a lot of weight if every time you did that, You'd be chowing down on Auntie Anne's. Last up, we've got a couple of pints. Wow. Pints of pretzels. Yeah. But so basically the question is here, Is it better in bite-sized form? Yeah. It is good. Oh wow, that is good. Really damn good. I suppose these are good with dips, right? Because- It's a bit easier. It's like a chicken nugget. It's less messy. Yeah. This is like an Amish churros. Oh my gosh. That is literally what it is. Amish churros. Apparently, literally, They used to have a horse and carriage in their family. Oh really? And yeah, proper Amish family. If you are watching this and you're Amish, I'm guessing not because you don't like technology, But if you are Amish- If you have any connections with the Amish community. Hook us up, okay? That'd be fun. We don't have Amish in the UK. As far as we know. Yeah. They could be hiding in the countryside. They're not like trolls. All right. That's great. Amish churros. Fantastic. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. You know, this feels like a true American experience. You know? We sat down in a mall. Yeah, in a mall. Eating deep fried foods. We had so many pretzels. I keep going back for the bloody cheese dip. I shouldn't. That is so fake. Wait, Ducky, is this basically cheese whiz? Yeah. So this is like what was on the cheese steaks we had. Okay, okay. That makes a lot of sense. It does. The guys haven't tried this. The original salty pretzel with this cheese dip is really good. I'm a sceptical. You are very sceptical. It's like American cheese on crackers. Yeah. Ducky, you've had this before. This is childhood. This is what you grew up eating. Yeah. That's good whiz. It's good whiz? Yeah, as we said in the last video, Whiz in England means something very different. Very different. And it's a similar colour. I like the almond one. It's my favourite. There you go. Messy. The caramel sauce is good. We've got three courses with this, haven't we? Yeah. That's true. We've got bite-sized starters. We've got the main, the actual pretzels. And then a dessert pretzel. What, and a cheese board. All right, well that has been Auntie Anne's, In the home of the pretzel, Pennsylvania. I don't know if it's the home of pretzel. Probably Germany would have something to say about that. Don't worry about them. But if you are watching this and you're Amish, Let us know. We'd love to come and visit. Especially if you make pretzels like this. Really damn good pretzels. All right, well, in the meantime. We'll see you jolly soon. See you later, guys. This is a great way to start the day. Seriously.
