As an American I can say with confidence that I've never heard of Big Hunk

It's because it's not made by Nestle or mars. It's made by a company called Annabelle which specializes in making old school candy. I worked at a convenience store at one point and we sold plenty of Annabelle candy. Big hunk is an older less commercialized candy so plenty of younger generations don't really know about it (I live in a retirement/logging community) but I remember a 60 something woman walk in the candy isle and go crazy over it all saying she hasn't seen a lot of it since she was a kid.

I grew up eating Big Hunks (Southern California) and before you open the wrapper you hit the bar on the table to break it up. Then you put a piece in your mouth, and let the nougat get warm and melt. Then, you can chew the nougat because your body temp has made the nougat softer.

I've had Big Hunks since I was a kid in the 60's (Californian). I have never even seen a chocolate-covered Big Hunk! The idea doesn't thrill me. A Big Hunk is a hard, chewy nougat with random peanuts in it. What you do is bite/break off a piece and sort of gnaw with your molars for a few moments while it begins to warm and soften in your mouth. I loved it because it lasted a long time- an important consideration for a kid who didn't have much candy money.

Callyan is my spirit sister when it comes to food, especially candy. I just love her absolute delight and pleasure when trying things, she has so much fun.

Just a bit of candy-bar history for those that might be interested. The Baby Ruth candy bar was named such to ride on the fame of the legendary Babe Ruth baseball player. Curtiss Candy Company reimagined their Kandy Cake confection into what we now know as the Baby Ruth bar in 1921, the same year Babe Ruth was emerging as the most famous ball player of all time. Since they didn't have the rights to the "Babe Ruth" name, they called it the "Baby Ruth" and claimed steadfastly for decades that it was named for the long-dead Ruth Cleveland, first-born child of President Grover Cleveland. The claim is full of holes and can't be proved or disproved which is why they survived legal entanglements when sued for using a name with such obvious ties to Babe Ruth.

Now sometimes on the rare occasion that I go to a certain store in the neighboring city, I'll buy a whole box of Big Hunks for my mom, but the last couple of times that I've done that my older sister and her oldest daughter found my mom's stash and nearly cleaned her out! I'm just happy that they're enjoying it because a good (fresh) Big Hunk is hard to find.

Frank Mars invented the Milky Way in the early 1920s. In the early 1930s he gave his son Forrest $10k and the rights to the Milky Way bar outside of the US so that Forrest could open an international subsidiary (in Slough UK). Forrest began marketing the Milky Way bar as a Mars bar in 1932, which was the same year that the 3 Musketeers bar was released in the US. Forrest began marketing this bar as a Milky Way outside of the US in 1935.

When I was 11 years old, I popped a crown from my front tooth on a Big Hunk (my first one) in a movie theater, watching Jaws. 47 years later, I still have never had another one.

I’m 57 and have never heard of a big hunk candy bar. I have lived in the US my entire life. I love your channel and a lot of things you try I’ve never seen here.

I've never heard of Big Hunk here in the states. Butterfinger is my all-time favorite. I loved dumping out my Halloween haul, off-loading the nasty stuff like Circus Peanuts and Maryjane's, and hoarding all the mini Butterfingers.

Honestly, I'm a simple man. As long as it's chocolate (unless it's coconut or white chocolate, I absolutely *HATE* that stuff with a passion!) I'll happily eat it. I prefer Hershey's, but I'm perfectly content with any kind of milk chocolate or dark chocolate.

Until this channel, I never knew Irish folk were so envious of American food.

When I was ten years old in 1960, the "Big Hunk" candy bar was popular due to it`s size and the cost was a Nickle ( five cents).

Laura and Damon work well together, very entertaining.

BUTTER ME UP AND FINGER ME SILLY! Definitely one of the most straight forward pickup lines.

I doubt anyone will read this but if you drink coffee, hot, there is something about the synergy of the two, lol, but is always up to ones personal taste! Fun react!

Whatchamacallit is highly underrated as a candy bar!

Big Hunk falls under the category of Old People Candy. The weird peanut candy, butterscotch hard candy, good & plenty, Charleston chews, chick o stick, Bit of honey, 3 layer coconut slices…

Donal was on point. Seeing Claire this happy was great

For those who don't know. Baby Ruth bars are not named for Babe Ruth the baseball player but for Ruth Cleveland the daughter of President Grover Cleveland. Never heard of Big Hunk and can't imagine why it was included in this.

Never, ever heard of Big Hunk. I do love the Baby Ruth.

Wow! I'll be 60 in a week and have loved Butterfinger since my childhood. Absolutely shocked by the hatred for this candy bar. They are SUPER popular here in the U.S. Big Hunk was just the white nougat with peanuts in it when I was growing up. I've never heard of it chocolate covered. That sounds disgusting to me. Baby Ruth was my dad's favorite all my life. I love it, too.

It's crazy to me to see all the dislike for the Big Hunk, let alone people saying they've never seen it. Pro tip: get the Big Hunk NOT covered in chocolate, unfold the entire wrapper, leave the bar on the wrapper and microwave it 5 seconds at a time until it's soft. It's like a marshmallow....

For those Americans that haven't heard of some of these candy bars...the most probable reason is that like some fast food restaurants, some brands are sold in particular regions of the country, not so much with others. ALOT of candy bars were invented and mostly sold in the South eastern US, so it's not uncommon for those in the north or the west to not be familiar with a lot of different types. TN alone can be credited with a crap-ton of sodas (including mountain dew), candy bars and different fast food franchises.

"It tastes like wall insulation' "Yes,....which we've had" That one got me 🤣🤣

“Butter me up and fingr me silly” hahaha. Best quote ever!😂

If you like peanuts, try a Payday. That candy is covered in nuts and has that salty taste several of you mentioned. I am another American who has never seen a Big Hunk. Nestlé Crunch has always been one of my favorites.

They were off their rockers today. Loved it.

I haven't seen a Big Hunk since I was a kid in the 70's. They were never chocolate covered. What I do remember about them is that they should be broken into shards then sort of softened up in your mouth a bit before you attempt to chew them. Kind of like hard marshmallow with peanuts mixed in it. Not a classic candy bar but certainly an old school one. Next you'll be dragging out Zagnut's or Necco Wafer's.

Great video, but being an American, I would like it if everyone would compare the candy with an Irish candy, so we could learn a little about their country's candy.

I've always liked Damon's sarcastic intellectual energy. I feel like he views all of these shoots as a sort of necessary evil. Lol. I'd love to see him rant full out on some topic in the pub. Guaranteed to dissect the subject.
