The duo explores different flavors, sharing personal anecdotes about filming in Australia and debating the merits of various treats, ultimately deciding which snacks reign supreme.
We actually had Tim Tams in the makeup trailer while making this movie.
And there's also a big debate in the office. What's better, Tim Tams or penguins?
That's not a debate.
No, it's in the air. Pick up a penguin?
Safe is better as Tim Tams, to be honest with you.
Even the English have to admit Tim Tams are better than penguins. Don't be silly.
Silence in the room.
English crew ahead of the other one.
Get the f*** out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is Snack Wars for Ladbible.
I'm Colin.
I'm Margot.
Welcome.
Wow, you did a different syntax to it. Usually do names and then the...
No, I liked that. We kicked it off with...
A bit of improv, yeah.
Oh, lovely.
Oh, I love this s***.
I love everything here.
Have you got Ballymaloo relish?
Oh, absolutely.
Ballymaloo and a bit of...
Well, listen, I mean, obviously this is Vegemite toast.
As rich in flavour as this is, it's for the more delicate palate than this.
I feel like this is a bit more working class than what we're looking at here.
But I love...
Is it Vegemite or Marmite? I always get the mix up.
Vegemite's Australian.
Yeah, Vegemite. I love Vegemite.
The trick, if I may add, slice of cheese with your Vegemite.
Oh, lay it on me. Let's let the cultures meet.
Let's bring our two fine nations together.
Exactly. Have a little bite with the cheese.
So when I was doing 13 Lives with Ron Howard in your beautiful country
and we shot in the Gold Coast, which is very close to where you were born,
I ate so much of this s**t, I almost had gout.
Did you?
Yes.
I do think I'm going to die at that one.
I had a sustained yeast infection from Vegemite.
Cheers.
I, um...
And Chutney.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I haven't had it in ages. It's so good.
It's really good, isn't it?
You like it?
Unbelievable.
And a grilled cheese sandwich, Ballymaloo relish.
Next level.
I love relish.
This is going terribly.
Let's call wars.
Yeah.
Why are we warring?
Snack lovers.
Thrilled with both.
Snack lovers.
How many of these do we visit?
How many snacks do we visit?
We've got about seven.
Oh, f**k, really?
I'm fine by me.
I didn't have breakfast this morning knowing we were doing this.
I mean, are we meant to pick a winner?
Because I can't.
Can you?
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
We call it a draw?
Yeah, 100%.
Draw.
Are you ready?
Wow.
Curry.
I'm thrilled this ******* time of day.
Absolute breakfast time.
This is amazing.
So curry chips.
I know all about this and I absolutely approve.
Yummy, but...
That's the chicken salt.
Do you not have chicken salt?
Never heard of it.
Never knew there was such a thing.
49.
All your time in Australia was wasted.
So we put chicken salt, like when you get freaking chips in Australia.
Yeah.
Chicken salt all over it and it is...
Chicken salt on the fish and chips?
Like a weird kind of surf and turf?
Mainly on the chips.
No red surf and turf.
I mean, I actually like bring it home with me.
I have chicken salt in my cupboard at home in America.
It's all right.
All right.
Let me work my way up to it, man.
Wow.
That's really good.
Okay, better.
This time of day, I actually give it to the chicken salt chips.
Yeah, me too.
It's a bit rich.
Not that I have a delicate constitution, but it's just a little...
Yeah.
Chicken salt.
F*** Australia.
Killing it.
On this?
Yeah, do it.
More is more, as they say.
A bit more.
Yeah.
I think it's an improvement.
Again, we bring the nations together and we have a clear winner.
Exactly.
Let's call this one a draw.
Because it depends on whether you're sober or whether you're straight.
Okay, fine.
It's a draw.
That's right.
Hovering, hovering, hovering, hovering.
Ta-da!
Whoa!
Oh, that looks like a party.
That's exactly what it is.
Oh my God.
So wait, is this just bread with butter and then something sprinkled on it?
Or does it come like that in a packet?
No, no, no.
You make it at home and it's called fairy bread.
And it's the best thing ever.
And someone's even chopped off the crust.
Fairy bread.
I can taste the words.
It's so good.
It's my favorite thing.
Never was a fan of Irish...
Farnbrach.
But you're welcome to it.
Farnbrach.
Yeah.
Is there a ring in it you used to get your auntie or your uncle
or your grandmother used to put a 50 pence piece in it or whatever?
Oh, is this like in England the saurine?
Is that what it's called?
Oh, I love saurine.
Toasted saurine with a bit of butter.
You talk away, darling.
That like sticks your teeth together.
Is it like that?
Is this, does this taste like that?
Oh, then I'll love this.
Anyone got a toaster?
Any chance of a f***ing serrated s***?
This is pure pressure.
You're really selling it for me.
I think I will like this.
Just take that bit right there.
Yeah, that looks good.
Thank you.
I really like it.
Yeah?
That's a bit of me.
Yum, yum.
I wanted more.
After such, yeah, after such a visual kind of...
Yeah, it's true.
It's so bombastic looking and then there's nothing really to it.
To be fair...
It's pleasing.
It's more the sensation of...
Half of it is the nostalgia of having this growing up.
And the crunch is kind of interesting with the softness of the bread.
I love it.
The butter's just after kicking in, which helps.
Yeah, generous on the bread.
I'll go back to the trough.
What do you think?
Get a middle bit, not the edges.
That's very pleasing.
It is very pleasing.
That makes me want to have a birthday party with balloons and invite small people.
But that's really good too, huh?
I mean, I'm voting fairy bread, but this was very, very good.
I'll give it a fairy bread.
Oh, lovely.
That looks like crud.
We actually had Tim Tams in the makeup trailer while making this movie.
We did.
Yeah, you did.
Nana, who did our makeup, she called it the emergency stash.
In the afternoon, you'd have a little Tim Tam.
I mean, no, obviously you'll let us all know what you think.
I mean, it's a bit chocolatey.
It's got a bit of biscuity stuff, a bit of marshmallow in there, but...
No, it does taste like a good time.
Yeah, you know, it's giving you a little bit of everything.
But maybe this is a bit more after hours.
This is a lock-in.
This is a nice quiet pint in the afternoon.
It's a lock-in.
What flavour Tim Tams is your favourite?
Do you have a favourite?
No, original.
How many are there?
There's so many different colours.
So many.
You can get double coat, you can get...
See, when things get double coat, you know the big Kit Kats, the thick Kit Kats?
I agree.
Ordinarily, I say no to that, but in the case of the Tim Tam double coat, absolutely.
I'll get on it.
And there's also a big debate in the office.
What's better, Tim Tams or penguins?
That's not a debate.
Ah, it's in the air.
Pick up a penguin.
Safest bet is Tim Tams, to be honest with you.
Even the English have to admit Tim Tams are better than penguins.
Don't be silly.
Silence in the room.
English crew ahead.
They're like, get out.
Nah.
Get the f*** out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it doesn't compare to a Tim Tam.
No, it doesn't.
I'm sorry, Bolands, it doesn't.
It's lovely in and of itself, but when you get into comparisons,
which is a dangerous thing in life as a general rule.
I know.
I mean, look, it's definitely not bad.
F***, I'm going to lose it.
Had I not known.
I nearly got there, you know, that moment where it falls in.
I rarely do the Tim Tam slam because it does disintegrate in your last sip of tea.
It's also a lot of work.
Will we give it to Tim Tam?
Obviously.
Goes without saying.
Yeah, I'll keep doing this one.
Ooh.
Ooh, really?
Ah, jeez.
Shores.
A little bit of fun since 1891.
Frogs Alive, classic.
I never heard of this.
Really?
No.
Oh, well, you know.
What's this?
Shores.
Some kind...
I mean, clove rock is delicious and I haven't had that in forever,
so I'll give it to you.
What does that mean, clove rock?
It's just sugary, condensed, clove flavoured.
Clove flavoured?
Yeah, but it's really, really surprisingly good.
I feel like they make lollies for kids so hard to open.
I'm not a big fan of jellies.
Yeah, like, I don't go crazy for jellies, but, you know, Frogs Alive...
Wait, these are Australian made, so we...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jeez Louise, this is going to break my teeth, isn't it?
I can't even get that apart.
Go on, muscles.
Please, please, please make it work.
How embarrassing of you.
Oh, look at that.
Thank you.
Very hard.
Very strong flavour as well.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, you get half an hour out of this.
You get half an hour out of it, but it'll be with you all day now.
I bet.
You'll be apologising to people on the red carpet in four hours.
Sorry about the cloves.
Cloves are such an intense thing.
Yeah.
It's an imposition.
This might be the first thing I might spit out.
Thanks.
That's just a lot.
It's like numbing my mouth now.
Yeah, but bang for your buck.
Definitely bang for your buck.
Clove Rock, all day long.
Bang for your...
That's nothing.
I mean, that could be anything.
That's generic, is the thing.
This is very specific.
My tongue is like actually numb after that.
Yeah, that'll happen.
Taste the original.
I mean, I'm voting for Frogs Alive.
Not even out of patriotism.
I'm voting for Clove Rock because that's just nothingness.
Sorry, Alans.
And that means Australia won.
And that means you two are done.
I want to do this all day.
Thanks, lads.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
That was fun.
How many years are you doing this?
I think we used...
I won't do that, sorry.
The first one was 2018.
2018?
With this one?
That's amazing.
I think I did it with Danny.
I think I did it with Davido.
Danny was launching food everywhere.
The f***ing place was a mess, wasn't it?
It's like the Rolling Stones of Blasatru in the 70s.
Yeah, throw it to the crew.
There you go, you guys have some.
Lazy soup.
We can have it.
