The US uses a lot more fructose liquid syrup in foods where in UK we use sugar granules

Well that's because US Fanta is not juice, it's soda and that's basically water, sugar, food coloring & carbonation. A lot of US foods now have both the imperial & metric, some only have the metric.

guys, not sure when they changed, but salt and vinegar in the UK used to be a blue pack, is was changed to green, and im not sure if green back in the day was cheese and onion, i could be wrong on that part, but salt and vinegar used to be blue, if you see smiths salt and vinegar they are blue like the old days

I’ve only ever seen it in green packaging. I do prefer McCoys salt and malt vinegar tbh, so if I pick up chips (or crisps as Cal likes to say) that’s what I’m choosing AND the packaging is blue 😅 -Ari

@@AriandCal yeah i get what you, im 60 years old, back in my day golden wonder and smiths as a child were the big brands, then walkers took over, and maybe the time they hooked up with laze was the change. we had sweets, candy that would never be sold now, candy or sweets, that looked like tobacco, from the western cowboy movies, where they ha da little pouch and rolled a cigarette, we had the look alike in pouches, we loved the pouches, because the pouch was great in the 70's when playing marbles were a craze, the pouch held your marbles for school also we had candy, to look like cigarettes in a cigarette box, whit candy with red tip, would never happen now lol flavours has gone from that era, we used to have bovril crisps, which were my favourite salt and shake, plain crsips with blue back of salt that you added yourself, those you can still get,
