The lads from Facts. decided to sit down and sink their teeth into some of America’s favourite sugary snacks, all in the name of science… and lunchtime.

A few months ago, the good folk at BuzzFeed got a few of their employees to taste test Irish foods including Tayto Smoky Bacon crisps, Mikado biscuits, Cadburys Turkish Delight Chocolate, sherbet dip and black pudding. Check it out here if you missed it.

That video gave the guys at Facts. the idea to try a few American favourites, like Twinkies, Kool Aid, Tootsie Rolls and Jolly Ranchers, just to see what all the tasty sugar-laced fuss is all about.
