00:00 So I've heard that these three dips from Iceland were going viral so I nipped into my nearest Iceland to check them out.
00:08 I did struggle to find them at first but when I realised they were actually in the fridge section I did manage to track them down.
00:15 They were near the sandwiches and the ready pastas and things like that if you are looking for yourself.
00:20 So we've got the double mac here which is very obviously trying to be a big mac sauce.
00:29 Ranch dipping sauce and piri piri dipping sauce there on the bottom.
00:34 I'm going to guess that that's a Nando's ripoff so let's have a look at all of them.
00:39 Now they do call them dipping sauces so got some Doritos there but I'm guessing that you can have them on pasta,
00:47 you can have them on chicken for the ranch dipping sauce, you can have them on burgers.
00:54 So let's see what they're like.
00:57 I'm going to start with this big mac dupe, sorry I'm going to call it a big mac dupe, that's clearly what it is.
01:03 Because I'm quite fond of a big mac so I'll get my Dorito and give it a whirl.
01:12 I've got high expectations.
01:14 Okay yep I've got to give it to them, I'm quite impressed with that one, it does taste quite like a big mac sauce.
01:20 I'm going to look on the back, a mayonnaise based dip with tomato ketchup, onions and gherkins, yeah it's the gherkin flavour there.
01:29 I actually quite like gherkin, I know some people don't but then you wouldn't buy it would you?
01:34 Yeah I like that one, so good for nachos, pasta, burgers, anything really.
01:45 Big mac ranch dipping sauce, I have been to America a couple of times and I think I've had ranch sauce over there.
01:53 And also Hickory's I've been to quite a few times, they do ranch sauce I believe.
01:59 Very much an American thing, I'm not too sure exactly what it tastes like and whether I like it so let's see.
02:06 This one I would say is a little bit more watery than the big mac sauce, let's have a go.
02:14 And as you can see there it says a buttermilk and mayonnaise based dip with garlic puree, yep very creamy.
02:21 With a little bit of a zing that hits you about halfway through as you're eating it.
02:26 I actually really like that, I can't taste much of the chive or whatever that herb is in there.
02:35 Which I'm kind of glad about because I don't really like chive but I would happily buy that again and happily have it with like Doritos or something along those lines.
02:43 Not too sure about anything else, I mean I'm guessing that you can have it with something like a chicken skewer or something like that.
02:51 But yeah that also is really nice.
02:54 The last one, I'm going to be controversial, I'm not a massive fan of Nando's, I think it's overrated.
03:02 So I'm probably getting off on the bad foot with this one, the piri piri dipping sauce.
03:08 It says, weirdly, a no egg mayonnaise based dip with chilli sauce. No idea why this one is no egg mayonnaise but I'm not bothered.
03:18 But interestingly look, two chillies out of three so that worries me, let's see what it's like.
03:24 Do you know what, really boring, I don't think it tasted much at all which is a real let down.
03:33 All I can taste is heat, a bit of a chilli heat and that's not really my bag so boring but spicy, wouldn't recommend.
