Nick:You've heard of Doritos, Lunchly and Oreos,but I bet you haven't heard of Detos Brunchly or Borio.
In this video,I'm trying the most popular knockoff snacks on the planet, and my friend Babish and Iwill see if any of these snacks are better than their originals.
If any knockoff snackis better than it's 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 onthe planet, and you're not going to believe what snackwins.
We'll start out with savory snacks.
We've collected all the most popular saltysnacks on the planet, plus their knockoffs.
First up,Lay's.
They're crispy.
They're nice and salty.
They're very light.
They are, as they say on the bag,a true classic.
Babish: Indisputable.
Nick: But how about Jayz? Babish: Jayz?Nick: If you can believe it,Jas has been around since before lace.
Babish:I've never seen so narrow a chip bag in mylife.
Nick:I feel like they tried to just do the bareminimum to change it instead of classic.
They wrote original and they just turned thelogo blue and change one letter.
Let's try the original first.
Real quick.
Simple.
Just salty enough.
Now we got Jayz.
Babish: Jayz.
Nick:I would never be able to tell the chipsapart.
Babish:Indistinguishable.
Is it just me oris that significantly better? Nick:It tastes more like a kettle chip.
Babish:It's got a better crunch,which I like.
I don't like thin chips.
Nick:They're almost exactly the same in everythingexcept for the texture.
Babish:This doesn't really taste like a potato.
This tastes like a potato to me.
Nick:These, I think, are better than the original.
Babish:We're off to a strong start.
Nick: Doritos.
Babish: The very best flavored tortillachips.
Nick:Well, Cool Ranch is better.
Babish:True.
Nick:Let's get our baseline.
Bright.
Cheesy.
Delicious.
Babish:I'm ten years old.
I'm playing SuperNintendo.
I'm having the time of my life.
Nick:This is the original.
Babish:What we got? Nick:Detos.
It's from Bangladesh.
They're supposed to be slightly thinner withless seasoning than your classic Doritos.
Babish:Slightly thinner, less seasoning.
Soundsawful.
The packaging is hilarious.
It's the same red outline on the font.
Nick:It's extremely blatant.
Babish: Yeah.
Nick: Do the honors.
Babish:Oh, wow.
It's so, so puffy.
There we go.
Oh my God,there's no chips in there.
Nick:Let's see what we got.
Babish:There's ten chips in there that are brokeninto 20.
Nick:Look at the difference between this and this.
Horrible.
Babish:These definitely look thinner for sure.
All right, Detos.
They're stale.
And no bin of champions for you.
F tier.
Nick:We've all had a Pringle at some point.
Maybeeven eaten a whole can by yourself.
Babish:Not maybe so much is.
Absolutely.
Yes.
Nick:Let's try them real quick.
Babish:If you insist.
Nick:To me, it's almost.
If mashed potatoes were achip.
Babish:I love that.
Nick: They're fatty.
They're salty.
They're pretty addicting.
Babish:Every time.
I'm a little surprised by howgood they are.
Nick:Move over, Pringles.
We've got Prongles.
Babish:Prongles.
Nick:So once again, we have a brand that'sliterally changed one letter, nothing else.
Instead of the Pringles guy,they've got this strange wild boar pig.
I also noticed their slogan once you pop.
That's great.
Babish:Dude.
Smell it.
Smells like crayons.
Nick:It does smell like crayons.
If I shuffle these up,try to guess which one's which.
Babish:Donut delights, bite sized donuts,mini cinnamon rolls and glaze.
That sounds dank.
Nick:They wrote that this one has 90g of protein.
Babish:The oysters have a lot of protein in them.
What what what am I looking at here? Dude, what is this? Nick:The eggs are gummy eggs.
Babish:And the oysters are plastic.
Nick:The bagels legit.
And they even got a Brunchylogo on there.
Cream cheese.
Babish:Why do they put fake oysters in here? What's going on? Nick:Wait, wait.
This says read before Brunching.
Congratulations.
You've been pranked.
Brunch is not a real company.
Babish:Please know that since we're a fake company,we're not bound to any food safety regulations.
I'm not gonna eat that.
Nick:Brunchly, you've been disqualified.
Babish:Fully.
Nick:Good old goldfish.
Babish:The snack that smiles back.
Nick:I've been having goldfish ever since I was akid.
Babish:Absolutely.
And I feel like this is one ofthose snacks that objectively doesn't taste very good.
But I love them for some reason.
You just.
Na na na na na na na.
Nick:They're perfectly salted.
Each fish which I love.
I used to take a couple.
I was in maybeelementary school and I put a couple in my mouth.
I just sit them there.
I let them soak up to this soft kind of likepaste, almost.
And then I chew that paste and I eatit.
Babish:I used to take fruit roll ups and fold themup into a little square, glue it to the top of my mouth and just leaveit there for as long as it would last.
Basically.
Nick:We know what these tastes like.
Yes,I went to Dollar Tree and I got some whales.
Babish:Whales.
I've had these.
Nick:These are a very clear copy of goldfish.
They come in a box instead of a bag.
You know how the goldfish on this goldfishpackaging is cool? He's got sunglasses on and all that kind of good stuff.
This whale issurfing.
Babish:He's surfing.
Frankly,having a better time than this fish.
Nick:I think the color is way darker.
Babish:Oh, wow.
You ain't kidding.
I'm not gonna lie.
Those look better to me.
Nick:They have nice bubbles on them like asourdough.
Babish:Do you see this? Nick:They look extra baked.
Bit of a letdown.
Babish:Oh.
That's terrible.
Nick:It tastes a little like dog food.
Babish:They taste like, um, Kraft mac and cheesepowder, but in dog food form.
Nick:I'm getting a soap aftertaste 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.
Babish:Yeah.
Flavor's bad.
Nick:There's no cheese.
Babish:No champion.
Create winners here.
Nick:Our final savory snack,Windows puffs.
These are from Egypt.
Whoever made them wasso confused about what they were knocking off that they copied a software company for asnack.
Babish:Windows.
Snacks.
That's incredible.
They're just puffs.
I was certain they wereat least gonna be square.
But they're just puffs.
They're so soft.
They have,like, no crunch to them.
Nick:This one's hard because we don't even knowwhat it's knocking off.
We have nothing to compare this to a cheese puff.
Babish:It has no peers.
Nick:We'll move on now to sweets and treats.
We've got all the most popular candies andsweets 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 Jayz and we got Korntos.
Our first sweet and treat are Oreo.
Babish: Oreo.
Nick: I love Oreos.
Babish: Yeah.
Nick: Milk's favorite cookie.
I don't even know if we have to describeOreos to you.
Babish:You know what Oreos are.
You're a person.
Nick:As usual, a quick baseline test.
Babish:A perfect foodstuff.
Nick:Try to picture what an Oreo tastes like.
Okay, you all know what an Oreo tastes like.
These are Borio's.
These are from Egypt.
They are a blatant knockoff of Oreo.
They basically just added a B to the start ofthe name and didn't change much else.
They're smaller than an Oreo,much lighter in color.
Babish:I don't like that.
Nick:The originals are just so much taller thanthe knockoff, and there's no cream at all in the middle.
The texture on them is not as nice.
Babish:The taste is more important than texture,am I right? Not enough cream filling, not crunchy enough.
Nick:Too bland, also.
Babish:Too bland.
Worse on all counts.
Nick:Make room because apparently people loveknocking off Oreos in different parts of the world.
These ones are called Ohio.
The Ohio's are from a discount grocery storein Germany.
Babish:I like how they give it a nutri-score E it'snot good for you.
Nick:I got literally the lowest possible healthscore it could have gotten.
Wait.
Smell them.
They smell pretty good.
Babish:They smell like hot cocoa.
Like cocoa mix.
Nick:Swiss Miss hot chocolate mix.
This is what this smells like.
Interestingcrunch.
Babish:And it tastes good too.
I like that better.
Nick:I think these might be going in thechampionship.
Babish:Oh my God, I never would have guessed.
Nick:Do the honors.
Babish:Oh.
Thank you.
Ohio makes it in thechampionship box.
Finally.
Nick:We also got Cremo's from Bangladesh.
They just blatantly copied the logo.
They smell like candy.
One of those,um, red frosting containers of the buttercream frosting.
Babish:Oh, it smells like canned frosting.
Really sweet.
There's a reason it smells likecanned frosting.
Nick:Weird.
Weird aftertaste.
Yeah, they're not better than Oreos.
And wegot one more.
It's called good day.
These ones are from Algeria.
Babish:Fun fact about Algeria.
I don't know where it is.
Nick:They look like they have some sort ofstrawberry berry type filling.
Weird way to package Oreo knockoffs.
Babish:It's fruity, almost.
Nick: Very fruity.
There's basically no filling in here.
I can't even bite into it.
Babish:Yeah, those are rough.
Nick:Don't like them.
Babish:No.
Cookie's bad.
It leaves a weird, like,film.
Nick:Worst Oreo knockoff.
We've now got one of myfavorite candies in the whole world.
Peanut M&Ms.
Babish:M&ms? I'm a peanut butter M&Ms guy.
Personally, I don't think we can bedifferent.
Nick:We are different.
Babish:Yeah.
No, look at us.
I don't like plain M&Msthat much? Nick:There's not enough texture.
They're too thin.
Babish:Yeah, they're too thin.
Chocolate isn'tgreat, but that chocolate plays so well with peanut, they're great texture combination.
You get a little bit of crunch from thepeanut.
The great candy shell crunch.
Yeah.
Nick:What color are you going for? Babish:I'm a I'm a cherry guy,and I always do this.
I always bite off half.
Nick:I don't do that.
Babish:Just so I can see what's going on.
Nick:I'm gonna go for one of the orange onesbefore we look at the knockoff.
Remember, there's a little small white M onevery single one of these.
Let's talk about the color red, orange,yellow, green, blue, brown.
Let's just see if the colors differ.
Babish:And let's see what the color ratios are.
Nick:We have two great knockoffs for these,but the first one is I&Mi.
Babish:That's TJ Miller's character from The EmojiMovie.
Nick:How do you even know that? Babish:I don't know, I didn't even see that movie.
There he is.
That's the actual image.
Nick:So they copied the logo from a random movie.
The bag looks the exact same.
They just went I&Mi instead of M&M.
Babish: Ah what.
the.
.
.
There's ghostly white.
Nick:White.
I kind of like white M&Ms.
I just think it's kind of cool.
Babish:Is it just me or do they have a cleaner,shinier shell? Nick:Much better color.
These are the original.
These are the knockoff.
Babish:No contest.
Those look better.
Nick:I don't like how there's no letter on them.
Babish:Yeah.
That's bothersome.
Nick:I'm gonna have a white one because I've neverhad a white M&M.
Babish:Yeah.
Nick:Oh, my God, did you break your tooth? Babish:No, but I felt like it.
Nick:I thought you broke your tooth.
Babish:I thought so too.
Nick:What the heck is this flavor? It's not an M&M.
Babish: 100%.
I can't taste the chocolate.
Nick:The nuts are so stale,they're smushy.
Babish:Imagine thinking you're about to have apeanut M&M and eating that.
Nick: There's one more knockoff.
Babish:Thank God.
Nick: S&S.
These are from Egypt.
This guy is the man.
Babish:Compared with the original,it's tough to open.
Nick:Try to open right there.
Just try.
Babish:Oh, I found the spot.
Nick:That's ridiculous.
Babish:That's just chocolate.
There's no candyshell.
Mm.
Yeah.
It's disgusting.
Oh, it keeps getting worse.
The chocolate tastes like it's artificiallysweetened to start.
Once that goes away, you have a rancid,bitter peanut.
I've never had such a progression ofgrossness.
Nick:Just look at the difference in these two.
Ifeel bad almost.
I don't even want to look at them anymore.
Babish: Awful.
Nick: You want to save those? Snickers is a tried and true classic.
Since it's cold here in the winter,I sometimes have one in my jacket.
And then I'll let it get cold outside.
And then I'll eat it while it's cold.
It'salways got that iconic sort of swirl on the top of the chocolate.
Babish:You can see that, like they dipped it andthen pulled it out.
Nick:Take a quick.
Babish:Bite.
Okay.
Nick: It's good.
Super chocolatey.
Some of that chewy carameland nougat.
Babish:One of the best candy bars of all time.
Nick:Here's a good close up look at the layers inyour classic Snickers bar.
Babish:It's beautiful.
It looks like one of thosecross sections of the Earth.
Nick:The knockoff is called Snipers.
I bought this one from Pakistan.
They copied the logo almost exactly.
Babish:There's no nutritional information.
There's nothing.
Nick:The packaging is odd.
It's like papery.
Babish:That's just a Snickers bar.
They just rewrapped a Snickers bar.
Why did they do this? A Snickers is illegalin Pakistan.
Yeah, that's a straight up Snickers bar.
Nick:We've got one other Snickers knockoff thatcomes from Turkey cartoon peanut.
Oh.
Bite sized.
Babish:Yeah, a white chocolate.
Snickers.
What isthis gonna be like? Nick:I don't know what the.
It's like eating bubblegum.
Babish: It's tastes stale.
Nick: I don't like it.
Babish: Rancid.
Nick: Kit-Kat.
Babish:One of the greats.
Nick:They're crisp wafers covered in milkchocolate.
Babish:Give me a.
Kit.
Give me a Kat.
Give me a Kit-Kat.
Just give me a Kit-Kat.
Nick:What I like is that you can see the wafer inthe bottom here.
Babish:Oh.
That's beautiful.
Nick:Should we split it? Babish:Let's do it.
Oh! You monster! Nick:It's simple.
It's crispy,it's crunchy.
You know, I always wish there was a littlebit less chocolate.
This is kicker.
Babish:Kicker? Nick:It is the Kit Kat knockoff from Korea.
Oh I can't read anything on here because it'sall in Korean.
Babish:Well, first off, it says since 1979.
When did Kit Kat come out? 1935.
Nick:It's a much closer copy than it kind ofseems.
Babish:That looks good.
Am I crazy? That looks nice.
Nick:No, this looks really nice on the inside.
Babish:Also, I'm noticing on the picture real quickthat there's five layers.
Kit-kat only has three.
It looks like darkerchocolate slightly.
Nick:It smells like.
Nicer.
Higher quality.
Babish:Smells like Cadbury.
Yeah.
Nick:Wow.
Here, take a little bite.
Babish:No, no.
The chocolate's better.
The wafer tastes a little stale.
Tastes likethose pink or white sugar wafers.
Nick:Really bland ones.
Babish:Yeah.
If they put that chocolate in thisKit-Kat.
Nick:Game over? Babish:I think it would be in the in the bin.
Nick:We also have Kool break.
This is from Algeria.
You gotta be kiddingme.
Oh, God.
Babish:Oh! Whoa! It's broken,and the wafer is fully exposed on the bottom.
Oh.
The humanity.
Nick:They totally copied KitKat with writing theirname right in the center.
Babish:Chocolate's better.
Nick: I agree.
The chocolate's better.
I'm stuck on thewafer.
Is the wafer good enough to be better than the Kit-Kat wafer? Babish:I don't think so.
Nick:These, I love.
Babish:Kinder egg.
Yep.
Nick:I get one every time I travel.
You open them up and you get a toy on oneside, and then you get sweet cream cocoa wafer onthe other side.
Babish:This one has a little what looks like a JokerFunko Pop! Nick:Let's try the original.
You open that side,I'll open this side.
Babish:I've definitely never had a Kinder Egg.
This is new to me.
Nope.
Nick:You got the cream side.
Look at the toy.
He's kind of.
Cute.
Babish:Some assembly required.
He's going in there.
That doesn't seem right.
That's clearly supposed to go in there.
Nick:Wait.
No, I think I had it right.
It's an iPhone holder.
Babish:Oh.
Kids toys are now iPhone holders.
Great.
So is this, like,the center of a Cadbury Creme Egg? Nick:It's like eating Nutella.
Babish:Oh, fabulous.
Nick:It's delicious.
The knockoff is called a kingegg.
Babish:Oh, just look at the size of it.
Nick: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 halfof the egg.
Babish:Yeah, it's not an egg.
Nick:It's not to say it can't taste better.
Babish:That's the worst fidget spinner I've everspun.
Nick:It came with.
A fidget spinner? Oh.
Mine went.
It's almost like a michelin desert with a lotof different textures going on there.
I don't know, this could be good.
Babish:These are like caviar spoons.
Kind of.
Nick:Oh.
Babish:Yeah.
Nick:Tastes like a protein bar.
Babish:Something meaty about it to me.
Nick:Maybe the worst thing we've had today.
Babish:Ah.
That's disgusting.
It tastes like baked butter flavor.
Oh, here's a game.
Is that supposed to be amaze? And this little egg is saying candy.
I love cook, ice skating and ice cream and myBFF is Bella.
I had it memorized.
Nick.
Nick:Our next original sweet is Lindt chocolate.
Babish:I've eaten so many of this exact bar it'sdisgusting.
Nick:The original has nice fancy packaging,cursive writing, even the material that they pack thechocolate in.
Babish:Listen to the sound it makes.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
No, this is good.
I don't know how they're gonna one up.
This.
Nick:This is Lindt, the original.
This is Lina, the knockoff.
This should be illegal.
Babish:Everything today should be illegal.
Every single thing.
Lindt is known for theirfancy Swiss chef.
These both have a chef on the back.
Look atthe difference between these chefs.
Nick:I'm not buying this.
This guy's not a chef.
He's never cooked in his life.
This guy.
Babish:No.
That's a model.
Oh, it's been oxidized.
Nick:Oh.
Babish:We know what we're doing.
Nick:The snap is not as good.
Oh, is it bad? Babish:Oh, terrible.
That doesn't even taste likechocolate to me.
It tastes like a marshmallow.
Nick:It tastes exactly like a marshmallow with thetexture of a chocolate bar.
Babish:Kinder Bueno.
Nick:It's the same company that does Nutella,and it's basically just a crunchy, crispy Nutella wafer bar.
It's amazing.
Babish:I love hazelnut.
I love chocolate.
Nick:Look at how beautiful it is.
They're not paying me to say this.
I justlove them.
I mean, it's unreal.
Babish:God.
That's good.
Nick:Algeria decided to make happy choco kids.
They use white chocolate.
They tried to copy the drizzle,but it didn't work.
Babish:That's a sorry imitation.
It's fine.
I don't like white chocolate.
Ifyou liked white chocolate, you'd love that.
I think.
Nick:You can't beat a Kinder Bueno.
Babish:No thin mints, girl scout cookies.
Nick:You like Girl Scout cookies? Babish:Love girl Scout cookies.
Nick:These are crispy chocolate wafers that aredipped in a mint chocolatey coating.
Perfect amount of chocolate.
Babish:The mint is refreshing.
It's cooling.
Nick:It's almost like you walk into a steam roomwith all that eucalyptus, but it's for your mouth instead.
Babish:Steam room for your mouth.
Nick:These are thin mints.
These are thick mints.
I think this company got a little confused aswell.
What they were knocking off because theycopied the name from Girl Scout cookies, but they made peppermint patties.
Babish:Yeah.
Nick:Oh my gosh.
Babish:Chocolate looks high quality I like it.
Nick:The texture on the inside of this is like,perfect.
It's like doing a cheese pull.
Babish:Yeah, dude.
Oh my God.
Nick:Look at that.
Babish:Here's the ultimate test.
Nick:I put it in the championship and if you will.
Babish: Yeah.
Nick: Congratulations to Thick Mints formoving on to the finals.
Babish:Congratulations.
Thick mints.
Twizzlers.
Get Twizzlers.
Nick:I love Twizzlers.
Babish:They're not my favorite,favorite.
But once you pop, you just can't stop.
Nick: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 bag, leave it in the cupboard for like 2 or 3days.
Then you can eat it.
Babish:I could go a week.
Nick:Are we, like, the same person? Babish:We look exactly the same.
Nick:The thing is about Twizzlers.
They're not toosweet.
Babish:Very old man Candy.
Nick:The Korean knockoff to Twizzlers.
Twizel.
We were only able to get our handsin the watermelon flavor.
They're filled with a sweet and sour jelly.
In terms of the copycat,it's not overly crazy.
Babish:I mean, we have white text with blue outlinein 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 fake watermelon tastes,and that's what it tastes like.
Nick:I kind of like them.
Babish:They have a great texture.
Nick:Really great texture.
Babish:Really great.
More I'm eating it the more Ilike it too.
If you want to put it in the crate, I'm right behind you,I can't believe it.
Twizzlers have been unseated by two Twizzler lovers.
Nick:Nerds? Babish:Maybe my favorite candy I love nerds.
Nick:I haven't had nerds for a long time.
I dolike the texture.
There's a bit of a sweet and sour aspect tothem.
Babish:If you suck on them, they start sweet,get sour, and go back to sweet.
It's a journey.
Nick:So should we go both together big time,right? Babish:Yeah.
There we go.
Nick:Total sugar rush.
Babish: Yeah.
Nick:Perfect amount of sweet and sour.
We got one that comes from the Willy Wonkacompany.
Dweebs.
These come from the UK.
I don't like how this opens.
Babish:That's one of the worst looking packages I'veever seen.
Nick:Look at the color.
It's like green and white.
These are both watermelon and cherry, by the way.
Babish:Look how saturated these are.
Nick:Wow.
Babish:Compared to those that's that's nuts.
Those look terrible.
Oh! They're Soft.
It tastes good.
Good flavor,not good texture.
Nick:I actually think I like the flavor of thedweebs better than the nerds 100%.
Babish:That tastes more natural.
Nick:They're like jelly beans.
Babish:I almost think that they're gum for a second.
The flavor is definitely better, but everything else is worse.
Nick:Another absolute classic Skittles rainbowcolored chewy candy with a nice hard candy shell.
Babish:I can't think of anything like it.
Nick:Oh, I love this sound.
Babish:So chewy.
Nick:Amazing.
Giggles.
Babish:Giggles is this a US brand? Nick:It is actually.
Oh, it looks like they don'tuse any artificial dyes, so the colors might not.
Babish:Be.
Nick:As beautiful.
Babish:It looks like you left them out in the sun.
Nick:Look at how a lot of them get totally screwedup.
The difference in the production quality isnight and day.
Babish:Whoa.
They're softer.
Nick:They do have that organic candy taste tothem.
Babish:They're almost like a gummy in the center.
I bet I can squish one of these with myfinger.
I can see.
Nick:I think the grape one is better than thegrape Skittles.
Babish:Orange tastes better too.
Nick:The orange is like an incredible orangeflavor.
Babish:It's almost like an orange vanilla.
Like orange creamsicle.
Nick:We've agreed that red and yellow are worse.
I think we've also agreed that purple andorange are better.
If green is better, I think we have to putthese in the championship crate.
Babish:Oh, here it goes.
Nick:Let's be honest here.
I'm gonna try a greenone.
Oh, Skittles.
And suddenly that tastes likechemicals.
Babish:That tastes like cleaning products.
Yeah.
Ithink we gotta do it.
Nick:I think we might have to do it.
Championship crate.
Babish:Ah, okay.
Nick:If I was stranded on an island and I can onlytake three things, I might bring Nutella.
Babish:What were the other two things? Nick:Water.
Probably rotisserie chicken.
So theoriginal is a cocoa hazelnut spread.
Let's just get a quick baseline test here.
Mm.
Amazing.
Ah, this is only a couple of theknockoffs.
Everybody likes to knock off Nutella.
This isn't really a knockoff.
This is justNutella with my name instead.
Babish:I hope that they do that for me.
Nick:I can make that happen.
By the time thisvideo is out, you will have a jar that says your name.
Babish:Thank you.
Nick.
Nick:I'm feeling so generous that I'm gonna pickthree other random subscribers, and I'm gonna send them the same thing with their name onit.
Babish:This guy.
Nick:The first knockoff is from Bangladesh.
It'scalled Nucella.
The main difference here is Nucella is made with chocolate and almondsinstead of chocolate and hazelnut.
Babish:Oh, I don't know about that.
Look how wrinklythat is.
Come on.
I paid good money for it, but Nick.
Paid good money for this.
Oh.
It's stiff.
Nick:Better or not? Babish:Not.
Nick:We're moving on to Nocilla.
It's a breakfast staple in Spain andPortugal.
Doesn't it look like it's been half eaten? Babish:It was sealed.
Whoa.
It tastes weird.
Nick:I feel like it has the flavor of a driedleaf.
Babish: I'll agree with that, because it's not good.
Nick: No?Babish: Nope.
No.
Nuga.
Nick:Nuga.
The Turkish version of Nutella comesin this premium feeling glass jar, and it has a higher hazelnut concentrationthan Nutella at about 16% hazelnuts as opposed to Nutella 13%.
Wow.
The smell of hazelnut.
Babish:Hit me in the face like a hazelnut beingthrown at my face.
The hazelnuts are rancid.
Absolutely no good.
Nick:What a bummer.
Nusetti this one is from adiscount grocery store in Germany.
It also comes in a nice glass jar.
I don't know.
Babish:That's tasty.
Wait, you're getting a weird aftertaste.
Nick:Better or worse? Babish:Worse? Nick:Worse.
Babish:Next up we have Mastella,which is from Egypt.
Nick:They copied the color scheme of the name thatdoes not look appetizing.
Babish:Does not looks very similar.
Nick:I would say it's a little looser.
Babish:I don't know what's going on there.
Nick:This is the furthest off from Nutella thatwe've tasted worse.
Babish:Yeah.
Next up we have Nutoka.
It looks very similar in terms of the label.
It's supposed to have a stronger hazelnutflavor.
Nick:Oh it's like looser.
Oh,I get more cocoa and a different chocolate flavor.
Do I love Nutoka? I don't know.
Babish:I think we got a dead ringer here, Nick: I think.
.
.
Babish: I don't think I like one better thanthe.
Nick:Dead tie.
Babish:Do we put it in the crate? If it's a tie.
Nick:I think we said tie goes to the challenger.
Babish:If we didn't, then we say it now.
Nick:Nutoka, you're going to the championshipround.
Babish:Congratulations.
Nick:The last thing I want to compare real quickfor Nutella are these Nutella and go breadsticks.
And then you've got Nut Master.
Babish:That's my, uh, digital signature on all myemails.
Nick: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.
Babish:And it was just a tie it couldn't raiseabove.
In the end, there was only one nut master.
Nick:What? Babish:Mm.
Froot Loops.
Nick:Froot loops are the unhealthy cereal that wealways want as kids, and our parents never let us eat it.
Babish: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.
Nick:Oh, I love the smell.
Oh.
That's awesome.
Babish:Oh, God, this is natural fruit flavors,I doubt that.
What is this? Nick:The knockoff is called fruit rings.
It's from Egypt.
And there's a weird alienwith three eyes on the front instead of Toucan Sam.
They have really no color? Original knockoff.
Babish:There's a hair on it.
There's a hair,there's a.
Nick:Hair, there's a.
Hair? Babish: There is a hair.
Nick:No there's not.
Oh, my God, that's disgusting.
That is a hair.
Oh man, I don't I seriously,I don't, I don't know if I can eat these.
Babish:Smells a little more natural.
No wait.
That doesn't smell natural at all.
It smells like.
Nick:No.
What does that smell like? Babish:It smells like lip balm.
It tastes like if you took that lip balm andyou used it like butter on corn.
Nick:Our final sweet.
Before we move on to thelast category, which is drinks.
You're gonna love thoseFrosted Flakes.
It's a corn breakfast flake that's coated lightly with sort of afrosting.
And in the front you've got their amazinglogo.
Tony the Tiger.
Babish:They're great.
Nick:I love the lightness of these flakes.
I love the sound.
Ooh.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Such a light hearted crisp.
Babish:I just got, like sent back in time to like amorning right before school.
And I feel like I'm a little kid again and Ididn't do my homework but yeah.
No, they're very tasty.
Nick:The knockoff is called Frosted Flakes.
They've kept the same exact name.
Even the font is strikingly similar.
Babish:Similar? They went with a baby giraffe as themascot instead of Tony the T.
Nick:Also, do you notice that it's just taped ontop with, like, a piece of Scotch tape? Babish:Uh oh, uh oh.
I guess they couldn't get glue.
Nick:At least it's still sealed on the inside.
Babish:Oh.
What the.
Ah.
Nick:This smells so bad.
Babish:Oh, this smells like the DMV.
Nick:These are so bad.
Babish:Oh, my God.
Nick:Those are terrible.
What is that? Babish:There's no sugar.
Nick:It's horrible.
Babish:And they taste like virtually nothing likeold corn.
Nick:So after round two, we have seven items inthe championship crate.
Babish:About seven more than I honestly thoughtwould end up in there.
Nick:For this section, we've collected the mostpopular drinks from around the world, and of course all their knockoffs.
The first one I don't think I have toexplain.
It's classic Coca Cola, and I always get mine in the glass bottlebecause I think it tastes the best.
Babish:Ah, I feel refreshed just from hearing andlooking at it.
Thank you.
Nick:The color kind of a reddish brown amber.
Babish:Like a coffee with some red food coloring init.
Nick:Ah, we can't do that after every drink.
The knockoff Molecola,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.
Babish:Yeah.
Nick:Love the Italian flag on top.
Oh.
Babish:It looks to be browner,I think.
Nick:I think it's almost the exact same.
Babish:Yeah.
Nick:What the heck? Doesn't have as much flavor.
It feels like there's less spices in.
Babish:There with the artificial sweeteners.
Not only does it taste a little off,the sweetness hits later.
Nick:The original.
Better.
Babish:100%.
Nick:Our next original is Gatorade.
Babish:What I think the color blue tastes like asusual.
Nick:On this side, I'm going to put the original.
Oh, man.
Babish:Oh those electrolytes.
Nick: Sweet.
Salty.
Babish: Blue.
Nick: The knockoff is called Energade.
It's a South African Gatorade copycat.
They didn't have a blue flavor that I couldfind, but I still feel like this is just such a blatant knockoff.
They put it in one ofthose Powerade type bottles.
Babish:Yeah, they're ripping off everybody at once.
Nick:It looks very syrupy.
It looks like it'sgonna be super sweet.
Babish:Violently red.
It looks like cough syrup.
Nick:That's a lot of red dye 40.
Babish:Oh, tart.
Finish there.
Nick:It's definitely not better than Gatorade.
It's almost got a vinegar.
Acidic finish.
Babish:It finish is so tart.
Yeah.
That's gnarly.
This is nice and sweet andgentle like me.
Orange soda.
Fanta.
Specifically.
Nick: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.
Babish:Oh, God, I wonder if there's any semblance ofactual orange.
Cheers.
Nick:I feel like I'm drinking neon.
Babish:Whoa! Yeah, it's well balanced.
There's a little acid in there,but it's very sweet.
Nick:The knockoff is called Twing.
Babish: Twing.
It's from Bangladesh,and it's supposed to be a sweet and sour orange soda.
Babish:It's so much smaller.
Nick:Yeah, I don't know why they made it so small.
Babish:That is like four gulps.
It looks the same.
Nick:There's not even enough to split between us.
Like there's not that much of it.
Babish:It's pathetic.
Mhm.
Nick:It tastes like sunscreen.
Babish:Nope.
No wonder they make it so small.
It'sgross.
Nick:We've already had enough sugar today to killa horse.
So at this point let's just cap it off with some Red bull.
Babish:Get some caffeine in the mix.
Yeah.
Nick:When I was in college,I'd wake up at 3:34 in the morning, get in the car with my friend with oursurfboards.
We drove to the nearest beach, and we chug 1 or 2 Red Bulls and then gosurfing until class.
Babish:How were you live? Nick:It was awesome.
Just to sort of compare thecolor of the two drinks.
Babish:I had no idea what color it was.
Nick:I'm a purist, so I drink it right out of thecan.
I love the flavor.
Personally.
Babish:It's great.
Nick:The knockoff which comes from Bangladesh iscalled Speed.
Babish: Speed.
Nick: It just looks dangerous.
Babish:It's got a heart rate EKG on it.
Boop boop boop.
Nick:Ah.
I don't know how I feel about this one.
What color is it gonna be? Babish:Red.
Ah.
Halfway orange.
Whoa.
That's disgusting.
Definitely worse.
Nick: Mountain dew.
Babish: Do the dew.
Nick:Mountain dew is a citrusy,lemon lime flavored soda, which I think has caffeine.
Terms of the color.
Babish:Not occurring in nature.
Nick:Let's give it a try.
Very sweet and syrupy.
Babish:Yeah.
Nick:The knockoff mountain lightning.
Babish:Mountain lightning sounds more exciting.
Nick:They could have tried a little harder.
Clearly they copied a bunch of the details.
Babish:Oh, that looks pretty much the same.
Ooh.
Nick:This one I thought was gonna be better basedon the smell, but it's just kind of boring.
Babish:It doesn't have the acid.
It doesn't have thethe tartness to it.
Nick:Sorry.
Mountain lightning.
Babish:I'm not sorry.
Nick: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.
Babish:It really just tastes like sweet water.
Nick:It's refreshing.
The knockoff is fromBangladesh.
It's called Clemon.
Babish:Not as appetizing sounding as sprite.
Nick:It is the most popular lemon soda inBangladesh, which means it's more popular than sprite.
And it's supposed to be an exact rip off of sprite.
Babish:Only one way to find out.
Let's see if it's clear.
It's clear.
Nick:Ooh! Smell it.
Babish:Whoa! Okay.
Yeah.
That's different.
More flavorful.
I think it's better.
Nick:I'm really torn.
The taste is just slightlydifferent enough that I can't tell which one I like better.
So I'm gonna leave it to you.
Which one moves on? Babish:Create a chance.
Nick:Our final soda.
Before we move on to crownthe champion from the championship crate is doctor Pepper.
Babish:I have an embarrassing admission to make.
Idon't know if I've ever tried, Dr.
Pepper.
Babish:Shh.
Don't tell anybody.
Nick:Dr.
Pepper is one of the most popularsodas in the world.
It's got kind of a sweet and spicy flavor.
I don't know that anythingcan beat this.
Babish:I'm very excited to try it.
Nick: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.
Babish:Shirt and I'm not the real Babish.
I'm a knockoff.
Nick:Do you smell that? Babish:Whoa! Nick:Since you haven't had it,you need to get a good, strong baseline.
Babish:Yeah.
There's, like, cherry essence.
Nick:Maybe licorice.
Babish:That's bananas.
My first Dr.
Pepper.
Glad it's with you.
That's really good.
Yeah.
Nick:It's really, really delicious.
Babish:I thought it was gonna taste nuts from thesmell, but it's actually pretty subdued.
Good luck beating that.
Nick: Dr.
Perky.
Babish: Dr.
Perky.
Nick:Dr.
Perky.
You can buy at some grocerystores in the United States.
So somehow they've snuck by.
There's also Dr.
Bob.
It's just like it shouldn't be allowed.
Babish:That shouldn't be allowed because it's so faraway from it.
Nick:Why don't you try, Dr.
Perky? And I'll try Dr.
Bob.
Babish:Ooh, I love the look of the foam on Dr.
Bob.
Nick:Dr.
Perky, give us the rating.
Babish:Mm.
Not as good.
Nick:Now, Dr.
Bob.
Try it.
I don't know, I might like Dr.
Bob better.
Babish:It tastes just like it.
But there's moreflavor.
Nick:There's more spice.
Yeah,I think Dr.
Bob is moving forward.
Babish:Holy heck.
Nick:You know what this means? Babish:What? Nick:In front of us.
You'll see what we'vedetermined to be nine of the best knockoff snacks on the planet.
But the question is,what is the number one knockoff snack? Babish:Very difficult question to answer.
Some ofthese are just perfect imitations.
Some of them are improvements upon.
Nick:Let's make a quick tier list.
First upGiggles.
Where are you putting them? Babish:Weird looking, delicious tasting,interesting texture.
I'm giving them a c.
Nick:I would agree with you on that.
Let's put itC tier.
Next up, Nutoka.
Babish:Same exact thing as Nutella.
So really good.
.
.
A tier.
Nick:A tier for new Toca.
Babish:Thick Mints.
Nick:Thick mints is tough.
I feel like it kind ofbarely made the list.
I'm gonna give it a D tier.
Babish:I give these a B, they're just giant Juniormints, and I love Junior Mints.
Nick:Yeah, so it rounds to a C tier.
Babish: Korntos.
I think you like these more than me.
Nick:Korntos, I think I'm putting s.
Tier.
Babish:Dispute.
Nick:Still rounds to A.
That's a great score forKorntos.
Babish: Ohio S tier.
Nick: Really? Babish: I loved these.
Nick:Yeah I didn't love the frosting.
I'm actually gonna give these D tier whichbrings the average to a b.
Babish:Why you figured that out fast.
Nick: Dr.
Bob.
Babish: Dr.
Bob.
I love the name so much,I'm gonna give it an A tier, I loved it.
Nick:I'm also, I think, going to give doctor Boban A tier.
It was really good.
Babish:Just more flavorful Dr.
Pepper.
Nick:Jayz potato chips.
Babish:I loved these.
I'm gonna give these an Atier.
Nick:I'm actually gonna put them at a C tier very, very, very good.
But they weren't my favoriteknockoff item.
So that averages to another B tier.
Clemon.
Where are we putting this? Babish:This is like a slightly better sprite.
And Idon't even like sprite that much to begin with.
So I'm gonna give it a D tier.
Nick:I'm going lower I'm going F tier.
This one's averaging out to an E.
Twizel.
You were on the fence about these.
Babish:I was initially but like they really grew onme.
I really enjoy those.
Nick:I'm gonna put these at a tier.
I think they were just so tasty and thetexture was perfect.
Babish:I'm gonna agree with you on that.
A tier.
Nick: A tier? Babish: Yeah.
Nick: Dang.
Babish: Yeah, those are good.
Nick:These are our final rankings of the bestknockoff snacks in the world.
But we had a few a tiers,so let's both reveal our favorite snacks.
Korntos.
Babish: Twizel.
Nick: I love them.
Babish:I wasn't even sure about these at first,but I love them so much.
The texture, the flavor.
Holy.
Nick:Thanks for eating snacks with me.
Babish:Thanks so much for having me dude,that was a lot of fun.
