we wanted to find out all the differences

between breakfast cereals in the UK and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

Hey, everyone, Joe from "Food Wars."

I'm actually not in this episode,

because myself, Conner, and Yuelei

are busy making a new season of "Food Wars"

with a new country.

Ooh!

But don't worry, I'll chime in every once in a while

and be super annoying.

We're doing a cereal episode.

Now, obviously there are a lot of breakfast cereals

in the UK and the US,

and we can't cover them all in one episode.

So we're going to start with the two

best sellers in America,

which are Frosted Flakes and Honey Nut Cheerios.

Then, after that, we might get into some fun cereals

which you can't find in one country or the other.

That sound good to you, Irene?

Yeah, sounds great, Harry.

First things first, Frosted Flakes?

What is going on there?

In the UK, we actually just call them Frosties.

OK, this is the one time I think the UK

has a better term for something.

'Cause Frosties is actually kind of cute.

It's like besties.

In the UK, Frosties come in five sizes,

starting with this one, which is a 25-gram box,

which comes as part of one of these multipacks.

From there, we move up to a 375-gram box.

Next up, we've got a 500-gram box of Frosties.

From there, we move up to a 750-gram box.

Then our largest size is this one,

the big 1-kilogram box.

In the US, Frosted Flakes also come in four sizes.

We start with the 60-gram cup,

which you can just add milk directly into and eat.

Next up, we have the 24-ounce,

or 680-gram, family-size box.

From there, we move up to a 34-ounce mega size,

but this actually isn't the largest one.

We actually go one step further, with a

[bag crunching]

39.5-ounce, or 1,120-gram, bag.

That means our largest size is 12% larger than the UK's.

In the UK, the recommended serving size for Frosties

is 30 grams,

which means that our largest box

contains roughly 33 servings.

Let's find out what 30 grams of Frosties

actually looks like.

Digital scales! We finally got digital scales.

I leave for one episode and we get the digi scales.

What the heck, guys? I want one.

How precise can we go?

[laughs] Not very.

That is 30.08 grams of Frosties right there.

In an actual cereal bowl, that is nothing.

In the US, the recommended serving size for Frosted Flakes

is actually 37 grams,

which is 23% more than in the UK.

So while our largest packet size might be a little bigger,

we're technically getting fewer servings.

Just 30 compared to the UK's 33.

[bag crackles]

Does this count as ASMR? [bag crunching]

37. I did it.

I feel like -- you know on Tinder

when guys hold, like, a fish in their photo?

I feel like that right now.

Now, I'm going to be honest here,

that is not a realistic serving size

for a strapping young lad such as myself.

What I'm going to do is pour out

what I would consider to be a normal bowl,

and then we'll weigh that to see what it comes to.

So, my actual realistic serving ended up being

almost exactly double the 30 grams,

coming in at around 60 grams.

57.5. OK, this is 60.

If I was using a bowl,

I think this is exactly what I would pour for myself.

'Cause I feel like what people do,

you fill the entire bowl of cereal,

and then you fill it up with milk.

But the thing I, for some reason, do,

is I eat my cereal out of a cup. Like, a mug.

I like that it's deeper.

So I'll put that in,

and so I don't know what the equivalent of that would be.

But, yeah, cereal out of a mug.

It's, like, it's fun.

The first thing to point out here

is that I really gaslit myself

and was convinced that we had Honey Nut Cheerios in the UK.

However, when I then looked into it,

I found that instead, they're just Honey Cheerios

and I'd imagined the whole thing.

Although our cameraman, Charlie,

today was convinced of the same thing,

so maybe there's just some butterfly effect

that's going on.

Honey Cheerios in the UK come in six portion sizes,

starting with this one.

It's a 30-gram box.

And, again, it only comes as part of a multipack.

From there, we go up to a 280-gram box.

While I was looking for the portions,

I found both a 370-gram box

as well as this 375-gram box.

It looks like this one,

maybe they are trying to use less packaging

but have taken that opportunity to give you

a few less Cheerios as well.

Who knows?

Our next size is this one,

which is a 515-gram box.

And then, finally, our largest Cheerios box is this one,

which is 575 grams.

Honey Nut Cheerios in the US come in five sizes.

We have the 1.8-ounce,

or 51-gram, mini cup.

The classic 10.8-ounce box.

The 18.8-ounce family size.

The 29.4-ounce mega size.

[bag crunching]

And, lastly, a 32-ounce,

or 907-gram, bag.

That makes the largest US option

57% larger than the UK's.

The recommended serving size for Cheerios

in the UK is, again, 30 grams.

That means that our largest box contains around 19 servings.

In the US, the recommended serving size is 1 cup.

See, that's why you should eat it out of a cup. Get it?

Which should weigh around 37 grams.

That's a 23% increase on the UK.

And the most servings you can get in a US container

would be around 24.5,

which is almost a 30% increase on the UK,

because of course.

But once again, it seems like 30 grams

is just a really unrealistic serving size.

I think, again, I'm eating much closer to 60 grams.

Does that look about right to you, Irene?

[cereal clinking]

Yeah. I agree with Harry.

This is, again, it's -- you need to fill the bowl.

So apparently filling the bowl means 60 grams, so.

No one's pouring out 37 grams of Cheerios.

This is, I think this is how much

normal people are pouring out.

So realistically, you're only actually getting

nine and a half servings out of the UK's largest box.

Whereas we're getting 15 servings from our largest bag.

Wow, you guys are getting kind of ripped off.

Unfortunately, we don't have any exclusive Frosties

in the UK.

Here are all the Frosted Flakes from the US

that you won't find in the UK.

We have the chocolate Frosted Flakes,

Frosted Flakes with marshmallows,

Frosted Flakes Cinnamon Basketballs,

honey nut Frosted Flakes,

Frosted Flakes and Froot Loops mash-up.

This is limited edition.

And the Tiger Paws Jumbo Snax.

Eh, I'll try one of the basketballs.

Tastes like cinnamon.

I don't think it's that good.

Shaq will put his face on literally anything.

Look at that smile he has on that face right there.
