How can it be bad?
Deep fried Reese's > all else!
You're right, it's a bit naughty, but that Mars bar is out of this world! What other snacks or treats would you want to see deep fat fried?
❤ with the right batter, and the feesh new oil, there are no holds barred to what can be deep fried delicious!❤
More food has been into space more then us humans😭
Just, no.
You'd think this would be an American invention given they are the junk food capital of the world.
those Taste Test snobs need to get over themselves, especially that guy in the England kit.
its DEEP FRIED CHOCOLATE, not bloody offal bits. Seriously… dramatic much??
Look, I couldn't even eat a regular-sized Mars bar on my own in one sitting, so I'm sure frying one won't help the cause.
Very GBS Nice
🏴🧑🔬🍫👩🔬🏴
I have no idea what the big deal is? This isn't new but they are pretty good.
Americans would love this (I'm Americans)
Deep fried Snickers, hot and fresh, is nirvana.
The fried Mars bar we had came with a fine vanilla ice cream. It was a pleasantly decadent dessert!
How goddamn stupid do you have to be to conduct a study on whether a deep fried mars bar or porridge is a better breakfast for your brain
The regional fair has deep fried Oreos. It sounded disgusting to me. I lost the vet with my friend and took a bite and it was heaven, but I promise you could only eat two or three.
It's not a commonly eaten food in Scotland and as a Scot I am sick of people overstating it's popularity.
I have never even seen one!
How to make a plug for almost nothing.
I would try it if they had a bitesize version, like the Celebrations chocs. Or maybe those would melt too much?
5:09 "If I saw that on the floor, I probably wouldn't eat it."
That implies there's things she WOULD eat off the floor.
GBS IS BACK?
That would likely kill me!🤗
Where was the deep fried oroes as part of the test?
This is actually wild! Im from a city just birth of Stonehaven and seeing it on this platform is crazy to me; it's a beautiful town next to Dunnotar Castle, a ruined castle on the coastline.
That’s it….fried mars bar wtf
You gotta go American and give these Brits a deep fried Twinkie
Ok, but this isn't that weird? Americans will deep fry just about anything. Ice cream, oreos, snickers, pickles, you name it.
That study kinda confuses me on its premise. Who in their right mind would eat a deep fried candy bar for breakfast? I know us Americans eat pop-tarts and sugar cereal for breakfast but not even we would deep fry a snickers for breakfast. It's a once in a lifetime food, you're not supposed to include it in your diet at all.
I tried it for the first time in The Carron, I loved it!
I'm disappointed to see this video. It's nothing more than an overpriced gimmick that plays into stereotypes. I don't know a single person who's even tried one. We have so much good food, and we've tried shaking off some very unfair labels in relation to our cuisine…and this disgusting thing is all people want to talk about. I like a sweet treat, but I will never try this. They deserve the negative press. Ugh.
They are surprisingly tasty.
thats stupidly disgusting
you mean to tell me this is scottish not american
I'm thrilled the channel is back, but this story is the equivalent of content junk food. Of all the things to do a video on… this? 🙄
I was in a Scottish chippy years ago, on the menu was deep fried black pudding
People conducting studies comparing porridge and a deep fried mars bar 🤦♀
First bite is one of the best things you’ll ever taste. By the end you’ll be begging for death.
6:12 "That smells like wet fart" – #LMAOROTF
In nz you can basically ask any fish n chip shop to deep fry whatever you feel if you have what you want fried at the time but deep frying choc is normal. I like deep fried milky bar
As an Indonesian…i kinda chuckled for this would be what Indonesians do if we didnt have our nature. In here, deepfried battered banana + choco filling is quite common (we called it as Piscok – Pisang Coklat). Its cheap (20 cents-ish) delicious, and in some occasions included as snack for formal meetings, or just your neighbourhood events.
Yuckk
Definitely Scotland is not famous for food…
❤ Scotland anyway!
As an American, who’s had everything from fried pickles to fried pizza to fried Oreos and even betting to try fried butter, this is right up our alley 😂 idk what the fuss is about lmaooo
Deep fried snickers or lion bar woukd be good.
it's just a deep fried chocolate bar. that's it. nothing huge about it. Scotland has so many other great foods, dishes and this isn't one of them.
