Our chocolate just tends to be way richer and smoother. Harry: Now, people in the UK really turn their noses up at US chocolate. Harry: I realize that you're probably not eating Snickers to be healthy, but research has shown that many of the detrimental effects associated with added sugars are due to fructose rather than glucose. And on name alone, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that corn syrup is only made from corn. Liquid glucose can be derived from lots of different fruits and vegetables, like grapes, apricots, cranberries, jackfruits, et cetera, according to the USDA. What's the difference? Well, corn syrup can be a type of glucose syrup, but not all glucose syrups are made from corn. Also, it's worth pointing out for Snickers specifically, you'll notice our version contains corn syrup, whereas the UK Snickers has glucose syrup. Joe: And in the US, the rule is our milk chocolate must contain no less than 10% of chocolate liquor, which is a roughly equal mix of cocoa solids and cocoa butter. According to UK rules, "a product must contain no less than 25% cocoa solids to be considered 'milk chocolate.'" Harry: In the UK, a Snickers bar contains the following: sugar, peanuts, glucose syrup, skimmed-milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, sunflower oil, palm fat, lactose, and protein from whey, whey powder, milk fat, emulsifier, salt, coconut oil, egg-white powder, natural vanilla extract, milk protein, milk chocolate, and milk chocolate (contains vegetable fat in addition to cocoa butter). Joe: A US Snickers bar has the following: milk chocolate, which is made up of sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate, skim milk, lactose, milk fat, soy lecithin, and artificial flavors, peanuts, corn syrup, sugar, palm oil, skim milk, lactose, salt, egg whites, and artificial flavors. Now, this contains two 41.7-gram bars, leaving the total at 83.4 grams. The largest Snickers in the UK is this one, the Snickers Duo. These come as a portion of three, like this bar here, or as a bag of 10. These are little bite-sized pieces, and each one is 18.25 grams. Recently in the UK they've introduced these creamy peanut butter bars. Next up is what we think is the standard single bar, which is this one, which is 48 grams. Then we have a couple of forms of single bars, the first one being this one, which comes in a multipack and is 41.7 grams. From there, we move up to a Snack Size bar, which is 35.5 grams. We'll start on this side with the smallest one we can get, which is a 20-gram 99-calorie Snickers bar. Due to that, there may be some slight discrepancies between the sizes, depending on where you get your candy bars, but we've tried to be as comprehensive as possible. Now, candy-bar sizes are a controversial topic in the UK because it's well known that they've been shrinking in recent years. Harry: In the UK, Snickers bars come in a range of sizes. And the biggest size, this one, the Slice 'n Share. Next size up is the Share Size, or the two bars. Next size up from that is, of course, the standard Snickers bar. Then, from there, we have the 100-calorie bar. Next size from that is the Fun Size, the Halloween candy size. The next size up from that are these, the Minis. If I had Snickers Bites, they'd be in share-size bags, which is about 80.2 grams, and a Grab & Go Bites bag, which is 133.2 grams. The smallest one is something called Bites, which I could not get my hands on. Joe Avella: In the US, our Snickers come in seven sizes. Harry Kersh: From calorie count to portion sizes, we wanted to find out all the differences between Snickers in the UK and the US. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
