00:00From calorie count to portion sizes, we wanted to find out the differences between
00:04Hungry Jack's Australia and Burger King in the US. This is Food Wars.
00:12First things first, you might have noticed there's a difference in the name.
00:16Here in Australia, Burger King operates under the name Hungry Jack's because when they first
00:21came here, their name was already taken. We'll get more into the history later,
00:24but when you hear me saying Hungry Jack's, that's why. Now let's get into the drinks.
00:29In Australia, our Hungry Jack's drinks come in three sizes, small, medium, and large.
00:36In the US, our Burger King drinks come in four sizes, the value, the small,
00:43the medium, and the large. Let's measure them to keep them honest. To be fair to Burger King,
00:48I filled these up. I think I did a pretty good job. The lid's a little recessed.
00:52Yes, there's ice in there.
00:54Now let's measure the large.
01:00I feel like everything is about four or five ounces off.
01:03Our fries, or chips as we like to call them in Australia, come in three sizes,
01:09small, medium, and large.
01:11Our fries come in four sizes, the little value, the small, the medium, and the large.
01:17And you know we're going to weigh them.
01:19So these portions should weigh 90 grams, 116 grams, and 166 grams,
01:25according to the Hungry Jack's website. So let's see if this is true.
01:36Both Australia and the US have the Whopper, so let's weigh both of them and compare.
01:42All right.
01:45On to the nuggets. In Australia, our nuggets come in four sizes, three, six, 12, and 18.
01:55Our US nuggets come technically in three sizes, the four piece, the eight piece,
02:01which in some part of the countries you can also get the fiery nugget version in eight piece,
02:05and a 16 piece, which was not available.
02:08Well, I want to be in the shot. I'm just kidding, because this is my new headshot.
02:13Here in the US, we have four sizes of onion rings. Again, value, small, medium, and large.
02:18In Australia, our onion rings come in two sizes, a medium and a large.
02:24Just eyeballing it right now, it looks like we have bigger portion sizes than Australia.
02:28I'm going to count out the rings and the largest and see how it compares to theirs.
02:32So in a large serving, we get 12 onion rings.
02:36Okay, so this is one of the smaller ones we had.
02:40Here is everything that you'll find at an Australian Hungry Jack's
02:43that you won't find in an American Burger King.
02:46And here's everything you can get at a Burger King slash Hungry Jack's in America,
02:51you can't get in Australia.
02:52Let's get into the burgers. I have to say, my observation in all of this is all of these
03:00burgers, not only are they massive, but they look really good.
03:04We have a Whiskey River Whopper, we've got onion, you've got lettuce, you've got,
03:09you have chips inside, you have tomatoes, two layers of cheese, two burger whop patties.
03:19I really like this. I really, really like this.
03:22The burgers are better at Hungry Jack's.
03:25So there's a saying in Australia,
03:27so there's a saying in Australia, it's one of their slogans,
03:30and they always say the burgers are better at Hungry Jack's.
03:33And this is really good.
03:35I can't taste like whiskey specifically. I don't know if it's,
03:39I'm not drunk yet, so I think there's not whiskey in there.
03:45But I think it must be like a whiskey glaze or a whiskey sauce.
03:48It's like a caramelized flavor.
03:51We have these exclusive U.S. burgers starting all the way down there.
03:57A Texas Double Whopper, same as a regular Double Whopper, but this one has jalapenos.
04:05Okay, so you're getting your money's worth. Oh, there's also bacon in there too.
04:08All right, pretty good. I don't know if I could eat a whole one of those, but I liked that.
04:12We have a Double Whiskey River Whopper, an Ultimate Double Whopper,
04:18which is two layers of beef and two layers of cheese.
04:22We have your Classic Whopper, a Double Whopper and Cheese,
04:26a Triple Whopper and Cheese, and an Angry Whopper.
04:31And it comes with a single patty or a double patty,
04:34or there's a triple beef option if that's what you like.
04:37And with Angry Onions.
04:40I don't know what an Angry Onion is. I've never met an Angry Onion before.
04:46All right, let's have a bite of the Angry Whopper.
04:53There's a bit of a spice to it. Nothing too overpowering.
04:57It's quite nice. I like this as well, but that's really like a nice subtle kick to it.
05:01So that's what makes it angry.
05:03If you're wondering, I'm so happy I could solve that problem for you because I'm here to serve.
05:08If double meat isn't enough for you, we also have the Triple Whopper Australia.
05:12Yes, you are correct. That is a bun,
05:18then a piece of meat, and then another piece of meat,
05:22and then a third piece of meat, and then all the stuff.
05:28He's jumping in the middle of the meat. You can't just go meat, meat, meat.
05:31Our Whopper doesn't automatically have cheese. You can get a Whopper with cheese, obviously.
05:35So this one doesn't have cheese. Texas did have cheese.
05:38I don't know why cheese is the default for the Whopper.
05:42The Whopper's been around for so long.
05:44Back when people wanted regular hamburgers and not cheeseburgers, we think it's just insanity.
05:48And then we have the Bacon Deluxe. This is very similar to the Ultimate Double Whopper.
05:54The sizing is the main difference that I can tell, and obviously with the patties and stuff.
06:00But the flavor is supposed to be the same.
06:03We also have the BBQ Bacon Whopper Jr., which of course has bacon, American bacon.
06:10Now's the perfect time. I know that she was talking about
06:13close-up of the bacon, so why don't I just do a little something right here for her?
06:17All right. All right. Check it out, Australia. American bacon.
06:21We got the strip bacon. I'll just get a good glamour shot.
06:24Nah, we're bacon. We got the strips. We got the strips.
06:27So the bacon in Hungry Jack's is Australian eye bacon, and it looks something like this.
06:34If you can manage to see it past all this sauce.
06:38I know you guys in America generally prefer your bacon to be a bit crispier and thinner.
06:43We do have that option here.
06:45However, our rashes of bacon do tend to be quite a thicker portion.
06:49So it is thin and crispy on the outside,
06:53but the inside, see how it's like a, it's a nice bit of pork.
06:57Speaking of bacon, we have the Bacon King.
07:00It feels like this is the Whopper without the vegetables, which I applaud.
07:04Look, everyone, they put cheese in between the meats.
07:06See, they know how to do it. This is great.
07:08I don't know why I said there'd be a whole different menu thing.
07:10Just call this the, this should be the Whopper.
07:12And then we have a Whopper Jr. in cheese.
07:15Little baby Whopper.
07:17And then a triple cheeseburger and a BBQ cheeseburger.
07:21Moving on to the much smaller burgers.
07:23Look at this, man.
07:24Look at the tiny little guys.
07:25Bacon cheeseburger.
07:26If you want a little more meat in your mouth, and you know I do,
07:29go ahead and get yourself the double.
07:31Yo, Australia.
07:35Look at that cheese pull.
07:36It's like an insider video from three years ago.
07:38I have no idea what rodeo, if rodeos exist outside of the States or the Americas.
07:44And if they don't, we have a thing called rodeos.
07:46And for some reason, we have a rodeo burger.
07:49And that's just a cheeseburger with BBQ sauce and onion rings.
07:53And now we have our Grillmaster collection.
07:56So this is made from thick, juicy Angus.
08:01Starting off to my right, we have the Grillmaster's pulled pork and Angus.
08:06They went hard on the pulled pork.
08:09They didn't shy away from that.
08:13You can taste the BBQ sauce, which is surprising
08:16because it didn't look like there was much BBQ sauce on it.
08:20The pork flavor is coming through ever so slightly,
08:22but it's just the texture of the pulled pork and a solid beef patty
08:27that I don't really like that much.
08:30We have our Grillmaster cowboy Angus.
08:33We have our Grillmaster double cowboy Angus with two Angus patties.
08:39And then we have our Grillmaster's Chicago Angus patty.
08:44Double bacon, natural cheese, and peppercorn sauce.
08:49I'm also curious to know, like, why did they make a Chicago burger?
08:52What is a Chicago burger?
08:54Is Chicago a peppery city?
08:55I thought it was a windy city.
08:56It has a patty.
08:57It's got some lettuce, iceberg lettuce, a sauce,
09:01which I presume has pepper in it, obviously.
09:03Otherwise, don't know what that black stuff is in it.
09:06That would be questionable.
09:08And it has layer of cheese and bacon and tomatoes.
09:13I think maybe the reason it's a Chicago style burger
09:16is because of the double bacon.
09:18I know in the early part of last century,
09:20the stockyards were really popular in Chicago.
09:24Upton Sinclair wrote a book about it called The Jungle.
09:27Don't read it.
09:27It's a real bummer.
09:31I prefer this to that.
09:32This has a lot more flavor.
09:33The textures are good.
09:34I like the combination of the bacon and the Angus beef.
09:38It's really messy though,
09:39so don't take someone out on a first date and get the Chicago burger.
09:43And now we have our Grill Master's Angus bacon and cheese,
09:47and then the Grill Master's double Angus bacon and cheese.
09:51So there's two Angus patties and two layers of cheese.
09:56I just have to say, I'm really impressed by Hungry Jack's.
10:00I find that their burgers are really, really good,
10:03and the quality is unreal.
10:05Here are all the chicken options exclusive over here in the US.
10:08Down here, we have the BK Royal crispy chicken.
10:11Royal.
10:13The Burger King Royal.
10:14The BK Royal.
10:15Fit for King...
10:19Philip?
10:20Charles.
10:22Australia, I don't know if you're aware of this,
10:23but there's a chicken sandwich civil war going on in this country.
10:27Every single fast food place has their chicken sandwich.
10:31I think Chick-fil-A just came in.
10:32Got everyone scared.
10:34Every fast food place, every burger place,
10:35has at least four chicken sandwiches, sometimes more.
10:38And Burger King, I gotta say, they did a good job.
10:41Been sitting for a minute, still crispy, very impressive.
10:44Crispy's in the title.
10:45Here are all the chicken options that you can get at Hungry Jack's.
10:48The Whiskey River Jack's fried chicken.
10:50So you have some lettuce, you have your whiskey sauce
10:55with some chips, onion ring maybe.
11:00The spicy BK Royal crispy chicken sando.
11:04Generous with the mayo.
11:05They're moving mayo at BK.
11:06They're moving mayo.
11:08Everything is chipping with mayo.
11:10I don't mind.
11:11It's got more heat than I thought it would.
11:16Nothing I can't handle, but yeah.
11:17The Whiskey River grilled chicken.
11:20The classic Jack's fried chicken.
11:23This is just fried chicken with some mayonnaise and some iceberg lettuce.
11:28The spicy Jack's fried chicken.
11:31And it has spicy sauce on that.
11:34Australia, we also have a bacon and Swiss BK Royal crispy chicken sandwich.
11:41Here it is.
11:44It's good.
11:44It's a good combo.
11:45It's really good.
11:46I like that.
11:46I probably would get that one over all the other ones.
11:48The cheesy bacon classic Jack's fried chicken.
11:52The cheesy bacon spicy Jack's fried chicken.
11:55So this would be the spicy sauce.
11:58That's a lot of spicy sauce.
12:00The spicy grilled chicken.
12:02The grilled chicken.
12:04The grilled chicken with bacon and cheese.
12:07And of course, this little guy, the Chicken Jr.
12:09If you've ever had a McChicken, it's the same exact thing.
12:13Whoa, what's going on here?
12:14That sauce?
12:15Or is that like...
12:16Started skimping on...
12:16No, because mayo's on top.
12:19What's that?
12:21I'm not licking it.
12:26Maybe a bit of mayo.
12:27I don't know what it is.
12:28I want to try the cheesy bacon spicy Jack's fried chicken.
12:33Because I haven't been able to get like a spicy burger.
12:37And this looks like it is packed with spice.
12:45So let's take a bite into it and see how spicy it really is.
12:51That is very spicy.
12:54Definitely recommend this one.
12:55This one's really, really good.
12:56It's such a relief because I feel like every burger that we've had
12:59is like says it's spicy, but it's like...
13:03Where?
13:03And last but not least, we have some additional exclusive items.
13:07The Burger King, we have a big fish, which is our fish sandwich.
13:11Rivals, of course, the Filet-O-Fish.
13:15A square piece of fish.
13:17Looks a little rough, right?
13:18I like how it tastes.
13:20Filet-O-Fish is better, but I get down on a big fish.
13:23Remember those chicken sandwiches from before?
13:25We got them in wrap form.
13:26Three wraps to choose from.
13:28So the first one we have is the classic crispy wrap, sorry.
13:32Half a chicken breast.
13:33Half? Come on, guys.
13:34You just cut it in half?
13:35Can't give us the whole one?
13:37Mayo, lettuce, tomato.
13:39Nope.
13:39This one's the spicy one.
13:42Here's the other half.
13:43Again, half a chicken.
13:44I don't know what the price point is,
13:45but you're definitely getting half of the chicken you get in sandwich form.
13:48We do have a couple of plant-based options at our Burger King.
13:52They're not vegan, though,
13:53because they are cooked in the same grill as the beef burgers
13:55and still contain dairy and eggs.
13:57Just Burger King, mwah, that one.
14:00The Impossible Whopper, which we have here.
14:02There's also the single Impossible King.
14:04Couldn't get it for this one.
14:06What does the burger taste like, you ask Australian?
14:08Well, first of all, let's take a look at it.
14:10Sometimes it looks like beef, and sometimes, like now, it does not.
14:14It has mayo on here, and I'm certain it's not a vegan mayo.
14:17It tastes just like a Whopper,
14:18because a Whopper is swimming in mayo,
14:20and they add something to the meat to make it taste like it's char-grilled.
14:24I mean, I think that everything together,
14:25because of the toppings and the way that they prepare a Whopper
14:29and an Impossible Whopper are the same.
14:31So I would think, yeah, maybe side-by-side I could tell a difference,
14:34but right now, this tastes exactly like a Whopper.
14:36But if we just isolate the meat,
14:40you can do taste a difference in just the meat.
14:42So not my favorite.
14:43If you're a vegetarian or vegan, well, get rid of the mayo.
14:48If you're not eating meat,
14:50I would say that the plant-based Whopper, to me,
14:53is probably the closest to the real thing
14:55as far as plant-based fast food things are concerned.
14:58That's my personal opinion.
14:59We actually have two plant-based burgers and a fully vegan burger.
15:03The vegan Whopper and cheese,
15:05double vegan patty,
15:07vegan cheese,
15:08vegan mayo,
15:10and the patty is made from veg.
15:12We have a plant-based Whopper,
15:15a plant-based Whopper cheese.
15:17The cheese is not vegan.
15:19The plant-based Angry Whopper.
15:21Our vegan options are actually vegan
15:23as they're cooked separately from the meat patties,
15:26which is really good.
15:27Because if you're a vegan or vegetarian
15:28and you want to come and get a good feed,
15:31then you know it's definitely vegan.
15:33This is the best place to go to.
15:35Yeah, so have a good feed in Australian means...
15:40How do I say a good feed?
15:41Like, enjoy your meal.
15:43If you want to have a good meal,
15:44if you want to enjoy your meal,
15:46let's try this vegan Whopper cheese,
15:48double vegan patty.
15:53This is a good option.
15:54If you did want an alternative,
15:56I like this.
15:57And if you just didn't want any meat,
15:59it's very filling.
16:00There's a lot of flavor.
16:02It's got like a herby taste to it.
16:05You can taste the onion.
16:07The cheese is good too.
16:08I was going to try the cheese separately
16:10just to see if that adds any flavor.
16:14The cheese is just a bit creamy.
16:17Creamy texture.
16:18A bit more of like a smoky flavor,
16:21subtle smoky flavor throughout.
16:22On to the sides.
16:23Australia, you don't have these chicken fries?
16:26Get a load of this.
16:27Isn't this a great idea?
16:28Looks like a fry, right?
16:29Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
16:30This is a piece of chicken.
16:31They come in, I don't know how many different options.
16:33We've got the four piece.
16:34And it came in a bag.
16:35Usually it comes in a fun little box,
16:36but whatever.
16:37These things are fantastic.
16:39Mozzarella sticks.
16:41Come in four and eight pieces.
16:43No way this, no way I can do this, Paul.
16:46He's been sitting for a minute.
16:47Wait.
16:50Yo, no.
16:52Comes with marinara sauce.
16:54RBK also has apple sauce,
16:56but they unfortunately forgot it.
16:58So no sauce.
17:00And in Australia, these are our exclusive sides.
17:03We have a three nuggets and chip curry cup.
17:07And we have a poppin' chicken curry cup
17:10and a poppin' chicken curry cup plenty pack.
17:13However, those were not available.
17:15We do have a load of other sauces.
17:17You know what that means?
17:18Sauce talk.
17:21Now we're going to talk about all the sauces we have
17:24that are exclusive to Australian hungry jacks.
17:27Starting with a barbecue plum sauce.
17:30Aioli.
17:31And it's, aioli is not just garlic mayo.
17:34Traditionally it's made with garlic and olive oil.
17:37Whereas mayo uses oil and egg yolks.
17:40And then we have our spicy sauce.
17:43How spicy is it?
17:45I'm about to tell you right now
17:46because I'm going to crack into this.
17:49Let's go.
17:50It's not that spicy.
17:51The kick comes after.
17:53It is spicy.
17:54Barbecue plum.
17:56Never heard of a barbecue plum before.
17:59That's really good.
18:01It's sweet.
18:02It's got that sweet plum kind of jam marmalade flavor,
18:06but with that barbecue sauce through it.
18:09But I feel like the plum taste comes through more.
18:12I really like that.
18:13All right, barbecue.
18:16All right, barbecue.
18:20Fantastic.
18:21Honey mustard.
18:25It's okay.
18:25Here's our ranch.
18:27America is obsessed with ranch.
18:30I, of course, am not.
18:32I'll try it.
18:33Yeah, it's fine.
18:34All ranch tastes the same.
18:35Moving on, we got buffalo sauce.
18:38So we got zesty sauce, Australia.
18:40I don't know if this is just for dipping stuff
18:42or if it's on a burger.
18:44I don't think I've heard of this before.
18:45Maybe we had it before in other food wars.
18:48I just don't remember.
18:49Let's see how zesty it is.
18:50Oh man, that is zesty.
18:53It's like a strong mustard, but also creamy.
18:56Brown mustard.
18:57Also, we have sweet and sour sauce.
18:59More for nuggets than it is for fries, but why not, right?
19:03And before the marinara, you know, I love.
19:06We have other sauces you get here in the U.S.,
19:09including stacker sauce, mustard and mayo,
19:12tartar sauce, royal sauce, King Charles' favorite,
19:15and a spicy glaze sauce.
19:18Hungry Jack's also has some brekkie options.
19:21Just know brekkie is short for breakfast here in Australia.
19:25If you're aware, we love to shorten our words.
19:28So we will call afternoon arvo.
19:31We'll call a snag for a sausage.
19:36Taka is dinner.
19:37Back to the items here.
19:39Here we have a bacon and egg Turkish brekkie roll.
19:43We have our sausage and egg Turkish brekkie roll.
19:47We have our Jack's brekkie roll.
19:49We have our barbecue brekkie wrap,
19:51and we have our big brekkie wrap,
19:53which is the same as that one.
19:54It just has hash browns in it.
19:56And then we have pancakes and onto our cheese toasties.
20:00A cheese toasty.
20:02We have ham and cheese toasties
20:04and a ham, cheese, and tomato toasty.
20:07U.S., we love our fast food breakfast,
20:10or brekkie, as you would call it in Australia.
20:13Starting down here, we have French toast sticks.
20:16Frekkies, I guess.
20:17You can get them three or five.
20:18Has this nice old syrupy dipping sauce.
20:21They're just okay.
20:22We have a lot of breakfast sandwiches in the U.S.
20:24You can get a breakfast sandwich in different bread forms.
20:28The first one we have is a biscuit.
20:30Don't know if you have these in Australia.
20:33Try to explain it to non-Americans what American biscuits are.
20:36Easier just to show you.
20:37You have KFC, right?
20:38It's like those biscuits you get at KFC.
20:40We have these breakfast sandwiches.
20:42See this little thing?
20:43It's like the driest thing in the world.
20:45But we have breakfast sandwiches.
20:46Here's a bacon, egg, and cheese one.
20:49You also get sausage, egg, and cheese.
20:50Ham, egg, and cheese.
20:51Good, dry.
20:52I really don't go for those,
20:53but I do like are the croissan'wiches.
20:56Another bread option where it is a croissant.
20:59Yes, a croissant.
21:00France.
21:01And we stuck a bunch of meat and cheese inside of it.
21:04Gonna go with the...
21:05This one is the bacon one.
21:08A fully loaded.
21:10Sausage and ham and bacon.
21:16Oh my goodness.
21:17Every version of pork in one sandwich with eggs.
21:23I have to know.
21:28Kind of wish I didn't.
21:29Kind of wish I didn't.
21:31Biscuits or croissants.
21:32These are the ones you can get.
21:33I'm gonna throw on screen the whole list
21:35of both the options that you have.
21:37I can't list them all.
21:38It's just a different version of the bread
21:40with a meat, an egg, and a cheese.
21:42Also, breakfast burritos.
21:45Believe it.
21:46This one.
21:47Whoa.
21:47Yo, dog.
21:48This is a hefty boy.
21:49This, I believe, is the egg-normous burrito.
21:53Come on.
21:54This thing is like...
21:56This has gotta be.
21:56This is like a chipotle burrito.
21:58Look at the size of this thing, Uli.
22:00See what's inside.
22:03Australia, I assure you, this is not normal.
22:06Hash browns, bacon, sausage, an egg, cheese.
22:12It also comes with a picante salsa,
22:16which we will find out together how it is.
22:21Breakfast burritos are a big thing in America.
22:24Probably in the UK as well, but this is just ridiculous.
22:27It's actually really good.
22:28And you know what?
22:29Secret weapon, the salsa.
22:30I don't know who makes the salsa,
22:31but yeah, dude, I'm having a comeback right now.
22:37If you want a breakfast burrito in not gigantic form,
22:40there's also a breakfast burrito junior.
22:42Got yourself a sweet tooth.
22:44We have two exclusive desserts in the US.
22:46Right here, two chocolate chip cookies.
22:48Also, we have this Hershey's sundae pie.
22:52Sundae pie on the go.
22:54Look at this thing.
22:54Look at this thing.
22:55You see that, Uli?
22:57I'm kind of mad now that I know this exists.
22:59I'm going to want it all the time.
23:00And at Hungry Jack's, these are our dessert options.
23:04We have a Storm Biscoff, which wasn't available.
23:07A Storm Bubblegum.
23:09A Storm Oreo.
23:10A Storm Cadbury Flake.
23:13A Storm M&M's Mini.
23:15A Sticky Day Pudding.
23:17A Caramel Sundae.
23:18A Strawberry Sundae.
23:20A Chocolate Sundae.
23:21And a Mini Drumstick Vanilla.
23:24Storm's, if you're not too familiar,
23:26I would say it's quite similar to a McFlurry.
23:29The bubblegum looks a little bit terrifying.
23:31I really want to try it.
23:32It looks kind of gross.
23:34But the marshmallows on top, it looks ridiculously sweet.
23:38This is all that I had to try my ice cream with.
23:45That was so sweet.
23:47It was putrid.
23:49It was foul.
23:50I didn't even think a child would like that.
23:52That is...
23:54You can't go wrong with an Oreo.
23:56I always get them, but a Flake will be good.
23:58The chocolate is a bit shredded.
24:03That is a bit of me.
24:04That is a bit of me.
24:07Nice, creamy, and then a delicious taste of flaky milk chocolate.
24:14Burst of flavor in your mouth.
24:16Not overpowering and not feeling like you're going to have to end up in the ER
24:19because you have a heart attack.
24:21I've even added some more Storm Flakes to the base of the ice cream.
24:24So, amazing.
24:27Even though the M&M's have melted, this is really yum.
24:34M&M's are always a good choice.
24:35I like the M&M's Storm.
24:37This is the date, the Sticky Date.
24:40It's living up to the Australian name right now.
24:43It's really hot here.
24:44We're just about to get into summer.
24:46And the Sticky Date did, in fact, not make it from the journey from Hungry Jaxx to the studio.
24:54So, this is what we've got.
24:58A nice, saggy Sticky Date.
25:02I've tried a caramel sundae before.
25:04Caramel sundaes are really, really popular here.
25:07Caramel in general, really popular.
25:10But let's give a strawberry sundae a crack.
25:15Yeah, just tastes like a strawberry sundae.
25:17This drumstick here actually launched in Australia in 1963.
25:23And Peters is a classic Australian brand.
25:26So, this is a national Australian dessert, one could say.
25:32A lot of U.S. drinks.
25:33The B.
25:34Okay, starting right down there, a specific bottle of water.
25:37This Pure Life Nestle water.
25:39I should drink this.
25:40I'm not going to.
25:41We also have Diet Coke.
25:44I don't like diets.
25:46We've got Dr. Pepper.
25:47Yeah, the Doc.
25:51Delicious.
25:51A Minute Maid lemonade.
25:53This is, I believe, root beer.
25:56And other drinks you can get for the kids.
25:58A little apple juice.
26:00They have these things.
26:01Frozen Fanta Wild Cherry.
26:03It's normally a slushy that have been filled up to here, but has melted.
26:06There's also a frozen Coke.
26:08Same thing, but Coca-Cola flavored.
26:10It's just a melted mess.
26:12You can get a regular coffee and an iced coffee.
26:15This is the vanilla one, I think.
26:16I don't know.
26:17This is the, yes, the vanilla iced coffee.
26:22Oh, God.
26:26It's like all vanilla.
26:27Too much.
26:27Yeah.
26:28Bottle of milk.
26:29Kind of weird.
26:30But also, Burger King has these two shakes.
26:33Oreo shake and a chocolate shake.
26:35Yes, Oreo.
26:36Like to cook you.
26:37And this shake is so fantastic.
26:39And here's why.
26:39It isn't a vanilla shake with chocolate.
26:41It's like the cream flavored shake.
26:47It's so good.
26:48Mmm.
26:49You can also get a chocolate version, too.
26:51A chocolate Oreo shake.
26:55To chocolatey, this is the one.
26:57This is the best one.
26:58Other drinks you can get at the BK in the U.S.
27:00We couldn't get where I just didn't feel like bringing.
27:03Is Sprite Zero, Unsweetened Iced Tea, Simply Orange Juice,
27:08Frozen Fanta Blue Raspberry Drink, Powerade Zero,
27:13Hi-C Fruit Punch, and Mellow Yellow.
27:16These are the drinks that we have at Hungry Jack's.
27:19We have Vanilla Coke, Fanta Raspberry,
27:23Mount Franklin Spring Water, Biscoff Shake,
27:26Bubblegum Shake, Caramel Shake, Strawberry Shake,
27:31Orange Juice, and Kerry Apple Juice.
27:34We have some frozen drinks with bursties,
27:36which come in a few different flavors.
27:39We have a Frozen Fanta and Grape,
27:41Frozen Fanta Sour Watermelon,
27:44Frozen Fanta Mango, and Frozen Fanta Raspberry.
27:48There's also an option to add bursties to the frozen drinks.
27:51They come in these flavors.
27:53Our spiders come in a Frozen Fanta Grape Spider,
27:57Frozen Fanta Sour Watermelon Spider,
28:00a Frozen Fanta Mango Spider,
28:03a Frozen Fanta Raspberry Spider,
28:05and a Frozen Coke Spider.
28:08I'm going to go with the Raspberry Spider.
28:10That's one thing I love about Hungry Jack's.
28:13Their ice cream is legit.
28:15Like their ice cream is so thick.
28:18Look at that.
28:21I like that.
28:23I don't like the bursties with it.
28:25The bursties did nothing for me.
28:26It's just a pop of flavor, but there's nothing.
28:29It's just a waste really.
28:30I think the ice, the spider tastes great
28:32just with the raspberry Fanta.
28:35I'm sure that in America you guys have spiders as well.
28:39You probably don't call it that.
28:43I'm not a fan of the bursties.
28:45I find that a frozen Coke like this,
28:49the ice cream tastes really good with the Coke on its own.
28:53The added texture and taste of a burstie was just useless.
28:57It was kind of a throwaway.
28:58It made it less pleasant.
29:00Jack's Cafe menu has a few options.
29:02A cappuccino, a flat white, a latte,
29:06a long black, which wasn't available,
29:09a mocha, hot chocolate, chai latte, Dilma tea, fancy,
29:16a mini chino and a piccolo, which weren't available,
29:19a macchiato and a short black,
29:22an ice long black, which wasn't available,
29:25a caramel fudge, iced coffee,
29:28an iced chocolate, an iced mocha and an iced chai.
29:33And for the ice drinks,
29:34there's an option to add brown sugar, popping pearls.
29:38That doesn't sound good to me,
29:44but I'm going to try it anyway.
29:46It sounds like it's going to be really, really sweet.
29:49So we're going to try the caramel fudge iced coffee.
29:56Oh my God, I hate it.
29:58I hate that.
29:58But why, why ruin a perfectly good iced coffee
30:06with these bursties?
30:08Hungry Jack's, I really appreciate you trying to be innovative
30:11and trying to jump on that whole boba sensation that's happening,
30:14but don't ruin a good thing.
30:18You've got a really good thing going.
30:19Your coffees are great.
30:21Well, they're good.
30:24So for those of you who haven't heard of Hungry Jack's before,
30:28it first opened up in Perth, Australia in 1971.
30:33You see, Burger King wanted to open restaurants in Australia,
30:37but the name Burger King had already been trademarked
30:39by a local restaurant in Adelaide
30:41because Burger King actually had never trademarked it down under.
30:45A wealthy businessman, Jack Powin,
30:48acquired the rights to the Australian Burger King franchise
30:52and decided to name it Hungry Jack's.
30:55Hungry Jack's and Burger King actually went to court in 2001
30:59due to Burger King wrongfully trying to terminate an agreement in 1990,
31:04which allowed Hungry Jack's to open and develop
31:07Burger King franchises in Australia.
31:10The development agreement, as it was named,
31:13meant Hungry Jack's had to open a minimum of four restaurants per year
31:18in certain parts of Australia.
31:20Burger King began working with Shell
31:22to market its own restaurant outlets in Australia
31:25in a relationship that excluded Hungry Jack's,
31:28which was not made aware of this until a year later.
31:31That was in 1995.
31:33In 1995, Burger King withdrew the approval for third-party franchises to open,
31:40which meant that Hungry Jack's could not stick to the development agreement.
31:46Eventually, Hungry Jack's actually won the battle
31:49and the judge ruled that Burger King had been breaching the contract.
31:53An agreement was made to rebrand the new Burger King restaurants
31:57in Australia into Hungry Jack's as a sole master franchise.
32:01Even though Australia is a huge country,
32:04it still doesn't have as many Hungry Jack's restaurants
32:07compared to the number of Burger King restaurants globally.
32:10There's only 452 Hungry Jack's, and that is as of September 2023.
32:17That's right, there's more than 18,700 Burger King restaurants around the world.
32:22That's 42 times more than Hungry Jack's.
32:24Texas is actually the state with the most Burger King restaurants
32:27at 583 as of September 2023.
32:31This year, however, two of Burger King's largest franchises have filed for bankruptcy
32:36due to low sales and high costs,
32:38and Burger King announced that it will be closing a few hundred stores later this year.
32:42In August of this year, Burger King was faced with a lawsuit
32:45over the size of its Whoppers compared to what's on the menu.
32:48The lawsuit alleged that the Whopper looked 35% larger
32:52with more than double the meat in the advertisement
32:54compared to the Whopper customers actually received.
32:57In response to the claim, a spokesperson for Burger King said that
33:01patties featured in its ads are the same ones used in the Whoppers
33:06served all over this great nation.
33:09No way that's true, but moving on.
33:12I mean, the fact that Burger King sells 2.1 billion Whoppers every year
33:16tells me the advertisement's working, so...
33:19All right, it's not the same size.
33:20Whatever, you ate it.
33:21Get on with your lives.
33:22Hungry Jack's also faced a lawsuit in 2020
33:27when McDonald's tried to sue over its creation of the Big Jack,
33:31which McDonald's claimed was very similar to the Big Mac.
33:35I can understand the similarities there.
33:38Both parties were expected to return to court at a later date,
33:43but the Big Jack was dropped from the menu,
33:45so it seems a disagreement may have been resolved.
33:48McDonald's is definitely Hungry Jack's biggest competitor
33:52with over a thousand restaurants,
33:55but word on the street is Wendy's is going to expand in Australia,
33:59although there has been a mixed response about that entering here.
34:03McDonald's is the number one competitor against Burger King,
34:05possibly because it has more locations, about 40,000 more as of 2022,
34:10which is over double the amount of Burger King's.
34:12McDonald's has always been larger,
34:14despite both chains starting around the same year in the 1950s.
34:17McDonald's is just optimized for business domination.
34:21Burger King, I can't believe there's this many Burger Kings, to be honest.
34:24McDonald's is the king.
34:25They do everything right.
34:26They've always done everything right.
34:28Burger King has just been looking at McDonald's
34:31and trying to copy what they do.
34:32I'm not a big Burger King fan.
34:34I love McDonald's.
34:36McDonald's fries, way better, right out the gate.
34:38The burger selection at McDonald's, way better.
34:41More convenient, better service.
34:43Yeah, I love Hungry Jack's.
34:45I recently have been consuming more Hungry Jack's than any other fast food.
34:50I like Hungry Jack's.
34:51The burgers are really good.
34:52I like the meat.
34:53I like the produce.
34:54The good thing about Hungry Jack's is you can taste the difference in the quality of meat.
34:59It is definitely far more superior in the make.
35:02It's a bit more of a step up from your average cheeseburgers.
35:08I think a lot of Aussies perceive Hungry Jack's as something we grew up with.
35:13It definitely, even though it's the exact same thing as Burger King,
35:17Hungry Jack's for us resembles something that's Australian
35:21or an Australian take on American burgers and American fast food chains.
35:29Let's talk about price.
35:30In Australia, our Whopper is $9.20 Australian dollars, which is $6.03 USD.
35:38Make it a meal with medium fries and a medium Coke.
35:41It'd be $16.40 AUD or $10.75 USD.
35:47In the U.S., a Whopper will cost you $6.89.
35:51That makes our Whopper 2% more expensive.
35:54If you want to make it a meal with a medium drink, googe, and a medium fry,
35:59this whole thing will cost you $12.18.
36:02That's an 18% increase in price.
36:05It looks like our menu might be a little bit cheaper than the U.S.'s.
36:09I think the prices at Hungry Jack's are quite reasonable.
36:12There are a lot of fast food chains around that are quite expensive for what you're getting,
36:16and I always think that the price at Hungry Jack's is really quite competitive.
36:20Yeah, you know what?
36:2112-something for this, that seems like a pretty good deal.
36:25I'm seeing all these news stories about fast food is suddenly not cheap anymore.
36:29It used to be a lot less expensive, but I still think 12-something for all this,
36:34I could definitely get full on all this.
36:35So yeah, this is a pretty good deal.
36:40We took a look at the most calorific items on Hungry Jack's' menu.
36:45In Australia, this is the Grill Master's Double Cowboy Angus, coming in at 1,401 calories.
36:54However, if you got the Triple Cheeseburger Super Stunner Meal,
36:58which comes with small fries, a small Coke, a mini drumstick,
37:02three chicken nuggets, that would come to 1,386 calories,
37:09which is still less than the burger and with 15 calories remaining.
37:14For the US, it's the Bacon King as the most calorific single menu item,
37:19coming in at 1,200 calories.
37:22Let's get the rest of the stats on the screen there.
37:24If you were to get a cheeseburger meal with a small fry and small drink, Coke,
37:29and a four-piece nugget, and a soft-serve cone,
37:32that's only 86 calories more than just this Bacon King.
37:39Unfortunately, US Burger King does not disclose its ingredients, online or off.
37:44However, the Hungry Jack's website does have a full list of ingredients,
37:49and we found some pretty interesting stuff.
37:52The cheese in the plant-based Whopper isn't actually fully vegetarian,
37:58as it contains products derived from cows.
38:01More specifically, it contains carbs rennet, which is a type of lining of the stomach,
38:07and there's a type of enzyme commonly used in a lot of cheeses
38:10to help separate the curds and whey in the cheese making process.
38:16Liars! We trusted you!
38:18So if you actually want to avoid animal products,
38:21be sure to specify vegan Whopper when you order, not just a plant-based Whopper.
38:26A lot of ingredients like to use big scientific names, which sound a little scary,
38:32such as tocopherol.
38:35I can't even say that, tocopherol, tocopherol.
38:38But this is just another word for vitamin E.
38:42Why not just say that?
38:44And it is found in foods such as vegetable oils, nuts, and leafy greens.
38:49And we also found in barbecue sauce, there's Rochester sauce.
38:53I don't even know what Rochester sauce is.
38:56I know what a Rottweiler is, and that's a dog.
38:59Rochester sauce, I'm not too familiar with that.
39:02I am... what is that on Green Jacks?
39:06Still rolling.
39:09All right.
39:15Starting to lose it.
39:16It's that time.
39:17Uh-huh.
39:18All right.
