  • Nikhil: From calorie count to portion sizes,

  • we wanted to find out all the differences

  • between Dunkin' Donuts in India and in the US.

  • This is "Food Wars."

  • Here in the US, you can get your doughnuts

  • in one; six, or a half dozen;

  • or 12, aka a dozen.

  • Don't put that in there.

  • Here in India, you can get your doughnuts

  • in packs of one, three, or six.

  • One US sticky glazed doughnut.

  • Nikhil: Indian glazed doughnut.

  • Joe: It weighs ...

  • Nikhil: 49 grams.

  • Joe: 59 grams.

  • In the US, we have four sizes of hot coffee.

  • The small, the medium, the large,

  • which, unfortunately, they forgot.

  • Dunkin'!

  • And the extra large.

  • Here in India, our filter coffee

  • comes in one size, this one.

  • If you're wondering what filter coffee is,

  • it's one of the most popular drinks here in India.

  • It's made by taking a decoction of coffee,

  • mixing it with sweetened milk,

  • and typically when they're preparing it,

  • they pour it from a huge height to create this froth.

  • It's super delicious, and it's very strong.

  • It'll wake you right up in the morning.

  • As for our other drinks, they come in two sizes.

  • Either medium or large.

  • This is an Americano.

  • Let's weigh it to see how much we got.

  • I might have to go to the bathroom after this.

  • 10.14 fluid ounces.

  • If that's not enough for you,

  • Dunkin's in the US also has a Box 'O Joe,

  • which contains 100 ounces of hot coffee.

  • And ...

  • [groaning]

  • Guzh!

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • This should be the extra large.

  • In the US, we "only" have three iced-coffee sizes.

  • The small, the medium, and the large.

  • No extra large, but they did remember

  • the large iced coffee, so, thanks, Dunkin'.

  • So, the Dunkin' India website says

  • that they serve an iced Americano.

  • But we asked three outlets here in Bengaluru,

  • and they said no iced Americano.

  • We even asked them,

  • "Hey, can you put some ice in our Americano?"

  • They said no.

  • So if you really must have an Americano

  • that's iced from Dunkin',

  • you have to take your own ice and go there.

  • So, what's the large?

  • Is this supposed to be 32?

  • I mean, I think it's --

  • Yeah, cup says 32, it's supposed to be 32.

  • Yuelei, zoom in on that and shame this business!

  • 32?

  • This is everything that you'll find on the menu

  • at Dunkin' Donuts India that you will not find in the US.

  • Here is everything you can get in a US Dunkin' Donuts

  • you can't get in India.

  • Let's start off with this one. It is called Choco Villa.

  • And I think it's called that

  • because there's a little triangle of chocolate,

  • which looks like those houses we used to draw as kids.

  • Oh, my God.

  • Yum!

  • It's filled with my favorite doughnut filling ever,

  • which is Bavarian cream.

  • Choco almond.

  • Hm, it's OK.

  • It's filled with the Bavarian cream again.

  • With the cream, unreal.

  • On to the next one. This is called a Chocoholic.

  • It's got a piece of KitKat sticking through it.

  • I want to see if it's one KitKat bar or if they've taken two

  • and they've sandwiched them together.

  • Let's pull from this end.

  • Yeah, I was right.

  • If you're a chocoholic, this is the one for you.

  • The inside has also got chocolaty filling in there.

  • Chocolate is starting to hit me real hard right now.

  • This stuff is so sweet.

  • This is called Rainbow Crunch.

  • Oh.

  • There's strawberry frosting on top.

  • So this has a strawberry taste.

  • It's OK. It's a doughnut.

  • Next up, we have Cookie Delight.

  • It's called Cookie Delight

  • 'cause they've taken cookie powder and smacked it on top.

  • This one's called Crispy Crunch.

  • For people who have trypophobia,

  • this one is probably not for you.

  • Oh, my God, this ain't it.

  • The crispy stuff on top is just not working.

  • Again, however, they do have the Bavarian cream inside --

  • I feel like there's a hurricane inside my body right now.

  • Next up, we have a doughnut called the Gemmy.

  • My fellow Indians will recognize that there are gems on top.

  • This is one of the most nostalgic chocolates here in India,

  • and I've eaten them since I was a kid.

  • Super yum.

  • You'd think a kid would like them,

  • but I can't even imagine a kid version of myself

  • liking something that's so overdosed

  • with sweetness and chocolate.

  • Is it Gemmy? Yes.

  • Too Gemmy? Also yes.

  • I'd avoid.

  • So, I thought this was all the exclusive signatures,

  • but I've been told that there are two more.

  • And let's start off with this one. It's called Choco Pop.

  • It's got chocolate on top, chocolate sprinkles,

  • chocolate wavy line things, and it's filled with chocolate.

  • It's very sweet.

  • Ah.

  • Whew!

  • All right.

  • And on to our last doughnut.

  • This one is called the Choco Berry Bomb.

  • That's actually quite nice.

  • It has definitely cut the sweetness that I've experienced.

  • There's, like, some berry jam inside,

  • which is kind of tart and nice.

  • The top is milk chocolate with shavings of white chocolate.

  • Whew!

  • Yeah, it's a good doughnut.

  • I wouldn't order it. It's too much.

  • All of this, I would not order any of these.

  • They're too much.

  • Exclusive doughnuts you can get in the US

  • you can't get in India.

  • Now, we're filming this the first week of October.

  • Of course, the No. 1 flavor you get this month is pumpkin.

  • Mm, so pumpkiny.

  • Yeah, this tastes just like pumpkin pie.

  • Also, you can get yourself a glazed blueberry doughnut.

  • See? Look at that.

  • Glaze on top, blueberry dough on the inside.

  • Also delicious. Love it.

  • Glazed chocolate. Figured this was everywhere, right?

  • So good.

  • Ooh, Boston cream.

  • The Ben Affleck of doughnuts.

  • Looks like a regular doughnut,

  • doesn't it, everyone in India?

  • But

  • surprise, there's cream on the inside!

  • I know everyone likes doughnuts,

  • maybe I haven't had a doughnut in a while,

  • but crap, this is really good.

  • One of my favorites.

  • I f--- with these.

  • Double chocolate, maybe my favorite,

  • 'cause they just did what they had to do.

  • Take a chocolate doughnut and put that chocolate frosting

  • I like right on top of it. A double threat.

  • Oh, these are so good.

  • I am in heaven!

  • A strawberry frosting with sprinkles?

  • You don't got this?

  • This is, like, the Homer Simpson doughnut, right?

  • This is the one that you always see him eating.

  • Oh, the vanilla cream.

  • Gotta say, don't think I've ever had this one before.

  • Look at me.

  • It's like "Scarface" over here. I'm just covered.
