we wanted to find out all the differences

between Burger King in the US and the UK.

This is "Food Wars."

In the UK, we have three drink sizes.

We have a small,

which is 250 milliliters.

Joe Avella: This is a US small.

Harry: We have a regular, which is 400 milliliters.

Joe: This is a US medium.

Harry: And we have a large.

Joe: And here [groans]

is a US large.

Burger King.

Harry: Now, in the UK, we have three sizes of fries,

small, regular, and large.

Joe: Here's a Burger King small fry.

Here's a Burger King medium fry.

And a Burger King large fry.

Harry: So, of the three sizes of fries that we were given,

I'm actually not sure which one is the regular

and which one is the small,

because these two kinda look identical.

We're going to weigh them all.

We're gonna start with this

orange-bottomed bag.

80...

88 grams.

Now we're gonna weigh the slightly darker orange bag

and see which size this is.

So, there's only a 5-gram difference,

but this one is the small.

So, a large fries in the UK

looks like it's around 180 grams,

which is double the regular.

[beep] I broke the scale.

[laughs]

We're actually having some concerns about

the sizes of the fries in the UK,

because our measurements showed

that the lighter orange bag

actually contains more fries

than the darker orange bag.

However, when lined up very scientifically like this,

what we'll actually see is that

the bag sizes go up in that color order instead.

So I think what's happened here is that

our small was actually bigger than our regular.

Joe: Wow, a lot of fry drama over there in the UK.

As you can see from our sizes, it's pretty obvious

what the small, medium, and large is,

but, of course, we're still gonna weigh them.

So let's start with the small fry.

Yep.

Boom.

Rogue fry.

And now the medium fry.

You're making a face.

I don't like that face.

It's like...

yeah, it's pretty similar.

I know how we will solve this, but not...

not that way.

Over here. Burger King is in the hot seat, baby!

Burger King's in the hot seat!

Large fries.

So, I'm gonna do something really tedious and boring.

Two, three, four,

12, 13,

20, 21, 22....

35 regulars,

10 kind of broken-up ones.

One, two....

34 and 18, but then a lot of smaller ones.

Producer: Arguably more than the medium.

Joe: Whoa!

That's pretty cold, Burger King.

That is pretty cold.

Don't act like you're surprised by this.

And I know what they're gonna say. They're gonna be like,

"Well, everyone who scoops is different."

OK, but our scooper here

and their scooper in the UK

made a similar error.

Hmm.

Suspicious, right?

Frygate 2020!

Harry: So, this is a Whopper in the UK.

No, it's not, that's a Halloumi King.

Is this the Whopper?

Have they forgotten the f---ing Whoppers?

Burger King!

So, what we're going to do is weigh a Whopper

and see how much a Whopper weighs in the UK.

[burger thuds]

Joe: All right, let's take a look at the US Whopper.

First thing I'm gonna do, I'm gonna weigh it.

Oh, yeah.

That's a Whopper.

Booyah.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

gotta be scientific about it.

Harry: In the UK, you can get Burger King's

chicken fries in three sizes.

A six-piece box,

a nine-piece box,

or if you're really hungry,

a 20-piece box.

Joe: In the US, according to the Burger King website,

they have three sizes of chicken fries.

We went to, like, five Burger Kings.

Two.

And both of them said that they only have one size,

the nine-piece chicken fries.

I don't know why that is.

And after

Burger King Frygate 2020,

I'm gonna count these.

There's nine.

Harry: So, what about calories?

Well, for example, a large Whopper meal,

the Whopper itself is 627 calories,

a 180-gram serving of large fries

would be 437 calories,

and a large Coke would be 209 calories.

That brings the total of a large Whopper meal in the UK

to 1,273 calories.

Joe: And in the US Burger King,

the Whopper meal comes in at a hefty

1,600 calories.

That is an increase of about 378 calories,

or roughly 30%.

However, there are ways to bring the calorie count down.

For example, if you get the Whopper without mayo,

you save yourself about 157 calories,

taking the Whopper down to, like, 503.

The drink is a major culprit.

If you get a sugar-free soda like a Diet Coke,

you immediately save yourself 510 calories.

So with these minor adjustments,

you can get a large Whopper meal for about 933 calories.

Harry: Now, for whatever reason,

the mayo in the UK only comes to 6 calories.

So I'm not sure what you guys are putting in your mayo.

Now, in the UK, a bacon double cheeseburger

comes in at 430 calories.

Joe: And our bacon double cheeseburger in the US

only has 404 calories.

Now, this has to be a "Food Wars" first,

where something in the US has less calories

than something in the UK.

I do wanna point out,

our bacon double cheeseburger does not come with mayo,

so I think that might be the calorie culprit.

Harry: So we finally found something that's less calorific

in the US than the UK.

Congrats, guys.

Joe: Error 404, mayo not found.

That's funny. Like, just put that on the screen there

like an error code.

Harry: Here are some things that you can only get

at a UK Burger King.

So, here we have the veggie bean burger,

which, you get these two fried bean patties

with some lettuce, some mayo, and some cheese.

Here we have the Halloumi King,

which is kind of exciting.

It comes with lettuce, mayo, onions, tomato,

and then these two fried pieces of halloumi.

They also offer that with bacon,

which seems slightly counterproductive

if you're a vegetarian,

but pretty delicious if you're not.

Joe: Hey, Siri?

[Siri beeps]

What is halloumi?

Siri: "Halloumi or haloumi is a semi-hard,

unripened, brined cheese made from a mixture
