US vs UK Dunkin’ | Food Wars

from calorie count to portion sizes we want to find out all the differences between dunkin donuts haha it's me okay i'll do it for real from calorie count to portion sizes we wanted to find out all the differences between dunkin donuts in the uk and the us this is food wars [Music] dunkin donuts in the u.s you get your donuts in three different sizes i guess one donut half a dozen donuts nice and of course everyone's favorite dozen donuts in the uk our donuts also come in three quantities and shockingly it's the same as in the states you can get one donut a half dozen donuts or you can be the life of the party with the full dozen and it's food wars so you know we're weighing a doughnut now let's see how much a glazed doughnut weighs in the uk [Music] our glaze doughnut came to pretty much exactly 50 grams so it looks like the states are getting a better deal at a us dunkin donuts you can get your munchkins in four different units of munchkin five munchkins dude 10 munchkins not enough kick it up to 25 munchkins yeah and if that isn't enough you can go all the way to 50 munchkins 50 of these things wow look at the size of this it's a lot of munchkins in the uk we also have four units of munchkin starting with four from there we move upwards to 12 munchkins the next size up from 12 is in a box and the box contains 24 munchkins and finally our biggest size of munchkins in the uk is 50. that might not make too much sense to compare just one munchkin in the uk and the us because i'm sure they're all slightly different shapes and sizes however what we could do is measure 24 munchkins here and 24 mentions there and hope that it provides a kind of overview of the average weight that sounds about right sounds like science to me let's do it all right this is 25 so i'm gonna take one out oh can i do it without spilling let's go oh god looking like how is that so good okay munchkin challenge number one uh how many munchkins can i fit in my mouth at one time without dying [Music] can you hurry this up man we got other stuff done [Music] for yes seven you were roughly right because i feel like i started cheated because i almost died in the u.s dunkin donuts our hot coffees come in four sizes small in the uk our hot coffees come in two sizes regular and large large and extra large the dunkin donuts u.s website says that their large hot coffee is 20 ounces got a measuring cup here let's find out if that is true now full disclosure and the car head over here had a little bit of a spillage so i'm gonna give this one we'll say a two ounce leeway should be 20 ounces might be 18 mm okay that's 16 four more ounces give me a break that's maybe an ounce 16 plus one i think is still 17. there is no way there is this much of coffee in my car seat let's generously add 2 16 17 18 19. i don't want to be that generous wait a second i got an idea 20 ounces so that means i need four in here correct okay that's 20 ounces i'm gonna settle this right now okay there's 16 in a cup plus four you know what's about to happen you ready [Music] come on now now that seems very dramatic so i'm also gonna measure our large coffee not black coffee did i get that with milk i'm so stupid i just remembered i put my milk in the lodge so we're gonna measure anyway and see what happens looks pretty much exactly 16 ounces iced coffees in the uk also come in two sizes regular and large at a dunkin donuts in the u.s we have three iced coffee sizes small yeah mediums and the large needs like two ounces of coffee that's just too much 32 ounces do i have enough for 32 ounces of 16 and this is eight no i don't we're also going to measure our large iced coffee to see what it comes to so a large iced coffee in the uk came to 18 ounces since i don't have another 16 ounce cup i will use this one right on the 16th okay that's one 16 ounce oh geez this is exactly 16 ounces here was this the large this should be 16 more fluid ounces shameful absolutely shameful that there definitely was not this much space left in the cup 27 and a half fluid ounces in your 32 ounce large iced coffee it's still almost to the i mean our pa just pointed out that maybe the density is different right when you put exactly the most frozen ice maybe we'll let's ask someone who's a scientist no scientist but that won't change everything and you guys are still kind of getting a bit short-changed it's just because the density of the solid or the liquid might change the actual amount of liquid in there is still going to be the same so it should all balance itself out eventually at the u.s dunkin donuts the largest single food item you can get is this two dozen donuts and the largest drink you can get is a box of joe look at this i think that's about a hundred fluid ounces of coffee i've always wanted to do this i mean it's like really hot in here okay just set this down in my seat and be like this is my coffee all right write my name right on it's right there joe do not touch what is it oh yeah mine baby mine oh man i've already drink way too much coffee [Laughter] now the biggest thing on the menu in the uk is the dunkin feast this is two dozen donuts 50 munchkins and two boxes of joe all for a price of 80 pounds now unfortunately when we went in today they didn't have any boxes of joe available however one of them is supposed to be 100 fluid ounces of coffee which is far too much coffee this here is a u.s glaze dunkin donut donut it is roughly 360 calories has 22 grams of fat 10 of those are saturated 420 milligrams of sodium 39 carbs and 18 grams of sugar and in the uk the same donut has 230 calories 13 grams of fat 230 milligrams of sodium 25 grams of carbs and 10 grams of sugar so by my calculations the u.s glazed donut is 56.5 percent higher in calories 69.2 percent higher in fat and 80 percent higher in sugar i get a burp sorry let's talk about another donut the boston cream donut i don't know why it's shaped like a heart i'm assuming because it's valentine's we're shooting this in february normally it's a circle anyway this donut has 270 calories 11 grams of fat 18 grams of sugar the uk version of the boston cream contains 280 calories 15 grams of fat 17 grams of sugar so that has more calories and fat a large iced coffee with cream and sugar in the u.s has roughly 260 hang on back to life baby a large iced coffee at a dunkin donuts in the u.s has 260 calories 18 grams of fat and 37 grams of carbs that seems like a lot doesn't it in the uk a large dunking coffee with cream and sugar comes to 190 calories with 9.1 grams of fat and 38.4 grams of carbs if we break it down by fluid ounce it turns out the us is higher in every metric except carbs just look at all that data think about adding a flavor pump to your coffee in the u.s and the uk you can get vanilla caramel hazelnut flavors on average in the u.s though when you add those pumps you are adding calories 38 grams of carbs and 37 more grams of sugar all of our information from the uk for this episode was taken from not dunkin donuts uk but other nutrition sites and food bloggers and whatever assuming that the iced coffee in the u.s and dunkin donuts are the same not sure if it is they didn't tell us thanks a lot dunkin donuts uk but assuming it is the same to get this large iced coffee with cream and sugar and these two donuts we talked about earlier total it is 890 calories which is 35.6 of your daily intake and in the uk a large iced coffee with cream and sugar a glazed doughnut and a boston cream donut comes to 700 calories or 28 of your daily allowance what about munchkins in the u.s one glazed munchkin is 60 calories it's 3 grams of fat 60 milligrams of sodium 7 grams of carbs and 3 grams of sugar now unfortunately duncan in the uk does not release any of its ingredients information we did reach out to see if they make an exception but unfortunately at the time of shooting this they had not us dunkin donuts website does have a majority of its nutritional info on the site let me read you some hits right now okay first the coffee hot or cold it's 100 brewed arabica coffee fantastic now if you want to add cream and sugar to your coffee like a 16 year old influencer now you've added milk cream to sodium phosphate as a stabilizer sodium citrate as a stabilizer and sugar of the many flavor shots you can add to the coffee in the u.s i picked the caramel one because it's also available in the uk assuming that it is the same in the us and the uk in the u.s the caramel shots are made up of sweetened condensed non-fat milk which is not fat milk and sugar uh high fructose corn syrup and sugar water and brown sugar so three different various sugar substances fantastic caramel color potassium sorbate is a preservative natural flavors and salt a glazed donut at a us dunkin donuts is made up of enriched wheat flour which is flour malted barley okay niacin reduced iron thiamine mono nitrate riboflavin folic acid all right water palm oil yeast donut concentrates brackets which is soy flour salt leavings sodium acid pyrophosphate baking soda wheat starch whey a milk derivative non-fat dry milk gum blend which is a cellulose gum guar gum acadia gum carrageenan and xantham gum a lot of gum do you scroll please sodium cassonate which is a milk derivative sodium sterile acetate less lactolate and it contains two percent or less of soybean oil soy lecithin whole egg natural flavors turmeric extract for color enzymes and nettle extract for color yeast dextrose soybean oil and mono and diglycerides okay that's the dough now for the glaze we ain't even done yet scroll it please the glaze of a glazed donut has sugar water maltodextrin and contains two percent or less of cornstarch mono and diglycerides citric acid agar cellulose gum potassium sorbate as a preservative and of course artificial flavors it's a lot of stuff so what's in the boston cream donut you ask all right the dough is the same as the glazed dough but the bavarian cream filling is water sugar modified food starch corn syrup palm oil and it contains two percent or less of sucrose esters natural and artificial flavors oh my god glucano delta lacto i mean they're just making fun of me at this point glucano delta lactone sounds like a font salt potassium sorbate and sodium benzonates for preservatives and agar and beta carotene for color and of course don't forget about the chocolate icing which is sugar water cocoa high fructose corn syrup soybean oil corn starch corn syrup maltodextrin it contains two percent or less of dextrose palm oil salt potassium sorbate and sodium phonier preservatives soy lecithin artificial flavors and agar and you know what i'm not going through every donut here's everything exclusive to the u.s at dunkin donuts here is everything you will only find on the menu at a uk dunkin donuts i'm not sure if they have any bagels at the uk dunkin donuts but in the u.s you can get cinnamon raisin you can get sesame everything oh you can also get of course english muffins an english muffin how come england doesn't have the english muffins makes you wonder makes you wonder here are all the exclusive donuts you can only find in the uk there are a lot of them and i've forgotten all of their names so i'm just gonna make up names for them as i go and then we can put the actual names off on screen for you let's start with this one this is sonic the hedgehog it's very very bright if you see something that's this color in nature just do not eat it this one i believe is mr happy little smiley face it's kind of cute or sinister perhaps depending on your interpretation of things it's worth noting that some of these are only here because we're filming this in the run-up to valentine's day so they've got a bit of a love theme going on right now this one is uh love dust flatline pretty in pink heart bypass love prison this is like jail cell bars this one is um keith this one i'm jazzed about this is the apple crumble donut now i know american pie is a very american thing whereas in the uk we quite like a crumble instead of pastry we have a kind of like flour and butter crumble mix on top so many different donuts than the us and not in the uk i didn't want to do every single donut that's different but three that i feel are like kind of like the hits that i would figure were everywhere but apparently not in the uk are an old-fashioned this one right apple fritter hang on good in the coffee roll look at the size of the sculptural man it's like a spare tire hell yeah a coffee cake muffin also in the u.s you get corn muffins and some dunkin donuts not the one that i went to unfortunately breakfast sandwiches dunkin donuts in the u.s has so many different varieties of sandwiches far too many to mention in this i got as many as i could find so one of these is a turkey sausage egg and cheese the other one is a beyond meat breakfast sandwich these all look the same veggie egg white omelet sandwich on the protein thins the power breakfast sandwich i don't know this one what is this this one's got like some bacon and stuff on it an egg white with bacon sandwich on a croissant here's just a few other ones that are available in the us and not in the uk that i couldn't get my hands on limited menu the belgian waffle breakfast sandwich uh maple sugar bacon big and toasty angus steak sandwich they also have chicken bacon sandwiches a chicken biscuit which i would love to have had wasn't available and of course their exclusive grilled cheese also they have snacking bacon and those dunkin bowls i can't believe they didn't have like i got those just recently along with bagels you can also get white cheddar bagel twists and finally we have a few other items that you will only find in the uk we'll start with these two cookies this one is a chocolate chunk cookie and this one is a salted caramel cookie this one looks like aggressively salty there's big chunks of sand not sand salt sand would be a gross cookie then we have two exclusive hot coffee options which are the cortado and the flat white a cortado is a foamed milk and espresso combination and a flat white is a steamed milk and espresso combination then we have a couple of exclusive cold options as well this one is a mango cool latte which is like a mango flavored kind of blended ice drink it looks pretty good can you imagine that being quite refreshing on a summer's day and then finally we have this which is a shaken lemonade uh it kind of just looks like water now i'm not sure if that's just because it's been sat here for a while under the lights but it's quite impressive to watch the lady make it in the shop she was actually going out with a cocktail shaker and it was a bit of fun the drinks so many different drinks that you can get the u.s you can't get in the uk i'll just start down here first one iced cappuccino am i taking a sip of everything ice cappuccino that's all right frozen chocolate iced americano peach passion fruit refresher a strawberry dragon fruit refresher the only hot one we have here is a matcha latte iced matcha latte ooh we're talking about the culattas yo culatas yeah strawberry kulana oh a little tart i like that conserving straws yeah that oh that's the best one blue raspberry blue raspberry colada i love us on my high horse about how sweet these beverages are and how bad it is for him culatas very nice a green culatta that's something matcha i don't know what that is there's matcha in it and last but not least at least i don't think okay this is a milk colored culada i can't imagine this being any good whoa that's actually pretty good yeah it's vanilla this is too much of any and i would have a coolada if it came in like three ounces just like a shot whoever's still stuck around to watch this i'm gonna try and fit a whole donut in my mouth let's go

Did anyone else come to the conclusion that Dunkin's drinks aren't actually the quantity they advertise them to be?
