American Expat's Hilarious UK Chocolate Taste Test Goes Viral

British Chocolate Showdown: An American's Taste Test An American expat living in the UK recently conducted a blind taste test of five popular British chocolate bars, sparking a lighthearted debate about transatlantic taste preferences. The video, posted by Red Bus Russ on May 16th, 2025, quickly gained popularity, accumulating over 180,000 views in just a few days. Russ, who describes himself as an "American documenting his tomfoolery in the UK," sampled Yorkie, Lindt, Milka, Galaxy, and Cadbury bars while blindfolded. His commentary was both humorous and insightful, offering detailed descriptions of the texture and taste of each chocolate. "The Yorkie was so creamy, like melted right away," Russ commented, giving it a top score. In contrast, he found the Milka bar to have a less appealing aftertaste, rating it lower. The results surprised even Russ's girlfriend, who commented on the unexpected ranking of the Yorkie bar, noting its past slogan "Not for Girls." The video's success highlights the enduring appeal of chocolate and the cross-cultural curiosity surrounding food preferences. It also showcases the potential for simple, engaging content to capture a large online audience.
