we wanted to find out all the differences

between Popeyes in the UK and the US.

This is "Food Wars."

The fountain drinks at Popeyes come in three sizes.

The small, which is 22 ounces,

the medium, which is 30 ounces,

and the large, which is, of course, 40 ounces.

40 ounces.

That's so much soda.

In the UK, drinks only come in two sizes,

as a kids size or as a regular size.

We're not sure how much is in either of these,

so we're going to measure them both.

A little over 300.

About 450.

But those aren't the biggest, I say!

Actually, at the Popeyes in the US,

you can also get a gallon of sweet tea

and unsweetened tea.

One whole gallon.

Ah, look at this!

Gallon, gallon.

Oh, and don't you hate when dummies do that thing

where they're like,

"Hey, the medium is the same size as the large!"

And it never is, it's a total con, so.

Medium soda, large cup.

Oh, wow, guys!

The medium's about the same size as the large,

except for, like, oh, I don't know, 10 ounces!

Dumb TikTokers. You guys aren't even ...

out-of-your-league TikTokers.

I'm the fast-food king online! All right?

When was this cleaned last?

Ooh,

I'm gonna go 36. What do you think?

I mean, it could have been the amount to top of this cup,

but again, you can't fill this to the brim.

You have to put a cap on it.

In the UK, fries just come as a regular serving.

US, we got two Popeyes fries sizes,

a regular and a large.

The regular, as we have here,

just came with the side of the three-piece we got here,

and of course a large,

which is a box of just fries.

Harry: We're going to weigh these to see

how they compare to the US.

Joe: We, of course, now are going to also

weigh our largest fry.

Do not sleep on these fries.

You'll be surprised to learn

that the inside of this scale is disgusting.

A Popeyes chicken sandwich in the UK

weighs exactly 250 grams.

Joe: In the US, it weighs

270 grams.

In the US, Popeyes signature chicken

comes in seven serving sizes.

We'll start with these.

So, of course, the one-piece kids meal,

then you can upgrade to a two-piece regular meal,

which comes with a side and a biscuit,

or you can get yourself the three-piece,

and a four-piece. Side and a biscuit.

From there, you can get yourself

an eight-piece family meal,

the 12-piece for the family as well,

or just for one person over a weekend,

and the largest, the 16-piece.

Are you kidding me?

[laughs]

How absurd is this? Look at all this chicken.

In the UK, the signature chicken comes

as a two-piece meal,

as a three-piece meal,

as a six-piece sharer,

as a nine-piece sharer,

or our largest size, the 12-piece sharer.

Let's weigh a wing, a thigh, and a leg

to see whose chickens are bigger.

So, in the UK, our thigh, leg, and wing combo

came to around 290 grams.

Here we go. First guy up, the leg.

Next up, got that wing.

Kind of a wimpy-looking one.

And this one, the thigh.

How 'bout the tendies?

In the US, we have these following sizes:

A kids meal has a one-piece,

but what's up? They gave us two!

And then from there you get a three-piece,

which they forgot,

and then we have five-piece,

comes with a side and a biscuit,

eight pieces.

I feel like they're getting bigger as I go along.

Look at the size of this tender.

Then we have the 12-piece.

I mean, guys, this is like a --

look at this!

Did you know they're this big?

This is fantastic. I love how big these are.

That's what I'm talking about, Popeyes! Thank you.

And, of course, the 16-piece.

Look at this bad boy.

Look at the size of these guys.

Tenders in the UK come in four portion sizes,

as a two-piece, which is the kids meal,

as a three-piece, a five-piece, and an eight-piece.

Next up is the nuggets.

These can be found in servings of

a four-piece kids meal,

a six-piece kids meal,

eight-piece,

the 12-piece,

24-piece,

36 pieces,

and then this double pile right here,

the biggest order, 48 pieces.

And I have to say, does not look like enough.

I know I could destroy that 48-piece with confidence.

What do we got here?

Oh, look at this sticker! This is fun.

Yeah, look at these guys!

Look at this big one playing a saxophone,

how fun is that?

That's cool, right?

In the UK, we actually call our nuggets bites,

and they come in the following sizes:

There's a four-piece, which is a kids meal,

a six-piece, a nine-piece, and a 12-piece.

Unfortunately, we couldn't get these today.

USA, we got biscuits, baby.

These are the not-cookie biscuits

that have come up before in other "Food Wars" episodes.

These are the biscuits biscuits,

and at Popeyes, you can get them in one,

either on its own or probably with just about every meal.

You can also get them in six.

It's, like, rolling right down here.

And you can also get them in 12.

Just overflowing biscuits over here.

We actually do have biscuits on the UK Popeyes menu.

If you order it as a side, you get one biscuit.

The biggest single item you can get on the US Popeyes menu

is this, the Bigger Family Feast.

It comes with 12 pieces of chicken,

five chicken sandwiches,

two large sides, got the slaw and the mashed potatoes,

five biscuits, and five apple pies.

This entire thing will set you back about 60 bucks

and clocks in at 10,000 calories

if you choose a more calorific side, like the fries.

I did not.

That pretty much dwarfs our largest single item,

which is this, the 12-piece sharer.

You get 12 pieces of chicken, four regular sides,

four biscuits, and four drinks,

all for the price of 24 pounds and 95 pence,

which was around $33.50 at the time of recording.

Mm.

We're so bad at fried chicken in the UK.

We just don't do it well.

But this, I gotta say,

I feel like a certain Kentucky-based chain

has had the monopoly for far too long,

and they've let their standards slip.

So this is really good.

I'm thrilled that the standards

are hopefully going to get raised.

And here's everything you can find at a US Popeyes

you won't find in the UK.

And here are most of the things you'll find

at a UK Popeyes that you won't find in the US.

Let's start with the chicken.

There are two main exclusive chicken options in the UK.

Firstly in the UK, we can get a chicken sandwich deluxe.

It's just a Popeyes chicken sandwich,

but there's cheese and lettuce on here as well.

What he means to say

is they took a delicious chicken sandwich

and added a bunch of junk.

Deluxe means vegetables,

aka the junk I don't want on my crispy chicken sandwich.

Popeyes in the UK also sell hot wings.

These come in orders of three, five, eight, 12, or 20.

Now, it might surprise some American viewers,

but London in particular

has a pretty big chicken-shop culture,

and we're pretty passionate about our hot wings,

so let's see how these measure up.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't get it twisted. We're the wings country,

and we should have those.

I have no idea why we don't have those.

That to me is a very good chicken wing.

Good level of heat, very crispy on the outside,

very juicy on the inside, what more can you want?

We only have one exclusive chicken item.

Well, it's technically not an item,

it's more of a style of chicken.

Both in the US and the UK,

they have the spicy and they have the regular,

but we also have something called the blackened chicken.

It is a chicken option without breading,

therefore, who cares?

And it comes in the form of sandwich or tenders.

Here it is, blackened chicken.

It's called fried chicken for a reason.

This is just, like, cooked on a grill?

Grilled chicken at Popeyes.

What is wrong with you?

Oh.

Nope.

In both the UK and the US,

Popeyes chicken sandwiches,

fried chicken, and chicken tenders

are available as either classic or spicy.

One interesting fact is that someone from Popeyes told us

that the UK version of the spicy chicken

is actually hotter than it is in America,

after they tried it on some focus groups

and they kept asking them to crank up the heat.

Who said British people can't handle spices, huh?

Now, this is not an exclusive

because it's available in both countries.

However, this is my first time

trying an American-style biscuit.

Now, the obvious statement is that, to me,

this just looks like a scone.

The color is there, the shape is there,

the kind of flaky layers are there.

It even kind of smells like a scone.

And the fact that this is being served with fried chicken

to me and to I think most British people is really weird.

Don't get me wrong, this is tasty,

I'm just still struggling to see any differences

between this and a British scone.

Popeyes in the US doesn't just serve chicken,

it also has seafood,

something you can't find in the UK Popeyes.

Now, the US Popeyes did for a while

have a Cajun flounder sandwich,

which is a fried flounder fillet in a bun

with some pickles and tartar sauce.

At the recording of this, it is no longer available.

I don't know if it was a limited-time thing

or they just stopped, they're taking a break, I don't know.

But you can still get the popcorn shrimp.

This is it.

And it comes in a quarter-pound serving.

There are no seafood options in the UK,

but we do have one vegan option

which you guys don't have in the US,

and that's the Creole red bean sandwich.

This is a 100% plant-based red bean patty

with some tomato, some lettuce, and a Creole sauce,
