we wanted to find out all the differences

between Doritos in the UK and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

In the UK, Doritos come in four portion sizes,

starting with this one, which is a 30-gram bag.

However, these only come in the form of multipacks,

either as a multipack of five

or as a multipack of 12.

The smallest bag of Doritos you can get in the US

is the multipack size, which is this, 1 ounce.

You can get these in multipacks of 10.

Next up we have a grab bag, which is 48 grams.

These are usually found as part of

a lunchtime meal deal, just as a snack.

Next size up, a 1 3/4 size bag.

Next size up, this is the 2 3/4 pounds bag.

Next up we have our regular bag,

which in the UK is 180 grams.

That's nothing.

Our standard bag size, 9.75 ounces.

Finally, we have our biggest size,

which is a share-size bag coming in at 230 grams.

We got you beat again, UK.

This is our party pack, 14.5 ounces,

which is also 411 grams.

88% larger than any size you have in the UK.

Let's count out all the Doritos

in our respective largest bags

to see what the difference looks like.

The good news is that I'm counting out this bag,

which is 230 grams.

Joe is counting out a party-sized bag of American ones,

which is 425 grams,

so he might be here a while.

Sorry, Joe.

Yeah, thanks, Harry.

[sighs]

Joe: We're doing the math so all you stoners don't have to.

15 times 8.

11 times 10, plus 1, 2, 3.

Count out, like, 10 chips, weigh them,

divide by 10, and then go, OK,

that's how much a chip on average weighs,

and then weigh the pile of crumbs

and divide it by that number,

seeing how many chips are –

does that make sense?

I'm gonna be here all day.

So, one chip weighs 2.5 grams.

So the remainder of the crumbs,

65 grams.

What's 65 divided by 2.5?

So, altogether, 168 chips.

Wow, we're really smart.

That was smart what we just did there, right?

Nine.

Leaving our total at 119 Doritos.

My flatmates can eat these.

I won't tell them the amount of fondling that's gone on.

Here's everything that's in a Cool Original Dorito

in the UK.

Corn (maize), vegetable oils

(sunflower and rapeseed in various proportions),

[Harry talking over himself]

And here's everything in a Cool Ranch Dorito in the US.

All right.

Corn; vegetable oil, which is corn, canola,

and/or sunflower oil; maltodextrin (made from corn).

A lot of corn in these chips.

[Joe talking over himself]

There are a few things to watch out for in here

as well as in other Dorito flavors.

Ah, good old USA-only food coloring,

Red 40 and Yellow No. 5.

It's in everything these days.

And the UK, of course, opts to color its Doritos

with things like annatto and paprika.

A fun one to know is that the Doritos in the UK

and the US both contain potassium chloride.

Now, in normal doses, this is perfectly normal

and safe to eat in food,

as it's used to reduce the sodium content in salt.

However, it's also one of the three drugs used

in a three-drug cocktail of chemicals

used for lethal injections.

Enough potassium chloride will increase

your blood's concentration of potassium,

which will create an irregular heartbeat

and lead to cardiac arrest.

Ah, how many Doritos would it take to kill someone?

I think just one, if you crush it up,

put in a syringe, and just jam it right into the arm.

Death by Cool Ranch.

That's how I want to go.

I've eaten five of these,

and I feel like I'm gonna die.

This here is 100 grams of Cool Ranch Doritos.

And in the US, that contains 535 calories.

The total fat is 28.56 grams,

sodium 678.3 milligrams. Oof.

That's a lot of sodium in that pile right there.

We actually call those Cool Original over here

because no one in the UK knows what ranch is.

But as far as we're aware, they are the same.

In the UK, 100 grams of Cool Original Doritos

contains 498 calories,

25.5 grams of fat,

592 milligrams of sodium,

and 58.1 grams of carbs.

So our version has slightly more calories,

fat, and sodium than the UK version.

What about the least healthy flavor?

Well, in the UK, Flame Grilled Steak

is the highest in calories and sodium.

Four Flame Grilled Steak grab bags

would be your entire daily allowance

of fat, sodium, and calories.

"With intense flavours, full-on crunch,

and a Grilled Steak Kick, Doritos are the great tasting

bold snack for when you're getting together with mates!"

Bold of you to assume I'm sharing these with my friends.

What about the least healthiest Dorito?

Well, the calorie count is pretty much similar

among all of them, but if you're paying attention

to your sodium intake, which I guess you should be,

then I would say steer clear of

the Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos.

100 grams of these,

so roughly two of these,

is 963.9 milligrams of sodium.

That is a 42% increase from the Cool Ranch.

[crunching]

Everything tastes like insanity.

I don't mind this, but you gotta, like,

water them down or something, Doritos.

This is way too strong.

Yet, I'm eating them.

Here are all the Doritos you'll find in the UK

that you won't find in the US.

And here are most of the Doritos

that are native to the US.

Let's start with the classics.

In the UK, you will find Guacamole flavor,

Flame Grilled Steak flavor,

Lightly Salted, and Hint of Lime Doritos.

Then we have a few which aren't technically

exclusives but have some differences,

which I thought were worth pointing out.

For example, as I previously mentioned,

we call these ones Cool Original instead of Cool Ranch,

because ranch just really isn't

a popular condiment in the UK.

There are also a couple of color differences worth noting.

For example, the red ones in the UK

are actually Chilli Heatwave,

whereas the bright orange ones are Tangy Cheese.

In the UK, Doritos also offers a range of salsas

and other dips, like nacho cheese and sour cream.

In the UK, you are actively encouraged by Doritos,

and society as a whole,

to dip your Doritos into these sauces,

as you can see on the packaging here.

But apparently Americans find that super weird

and will only ever dip plain chips into salsa.

Is that right, Joe?

Doritos and dips seems like flavor mayhem.

The thought of dipping Nacho Cheese Doritos

into nacho cheese,

I think one bite would just unplug you from the matrix.

That seems, like, impossible to handle.

But, yeah, go for it.

Sweaty hands. Sweaty Dorito hands.

Save my pride.

That's really on there.
