I try the new snack by the Fish and Rice Cakes Guy.

Transcript

00:00Last week I did a story about Danny Andrews who is the original meme, he is

00:06the fish and rice cakes guy from 18 years ago. He's decided after years and

00:12years of being ashamed of it, of being cyberbullied over it, that he's going to

00:17retake it back, he's going to make some money off it and he's come up with his

00:22own protein rice cake. So I asked him to send me some, he has done, he sent me the

00:28milk chocolate flavour and the white chocolate flavour. I'm going to give them

00:32a try just to see what they taste like. I'll be honest I'm not a fitness

00:38person, I'm definitely not a bodybuilder, but I just thought I'd have a look at

00:43them for the people who wanted to increase their protein in their diet, I

00:48know there's quite a few of those people around, wanted something else to snack

00:53on, so let's have a look at them. So the packaging, I think that the packaging is

00:58pretty good actually. I don't know how Danny's gone about getting hold of

01:03the copyright from the BBC but it's got that iconic meme picture of him there.

01:09So we've got 15 grams per pack, so that's seven and a half grams per rice

01:17cake, I take it because there's two rice cakes per pack. We've got three grams of

01:22sugar per cake, so allergen info there in case you're allergic to any of those

01:31things. Lactose, so you're a nut, store in a cool dry place, once they're open you've

01:38got to eat them within 24 hours. So yeah and if you're interested, that's his

01:43website where they're currently available and I know that Danny has said

01:47that the long-term plan is to get them into supermarkets of course, but getting

01:53them into gyms I think is phase two, but currently on his website. So opened one

01:59of each and they are both covered all the way around, not just on the top. Now

02:04Danny has said to me to be completely honest with this review because he's

02:09that confident in them that people will love them, so I'm gonna have a bite out

02:13of both and then I'll come back to you. Right I've had a taste of both, they are

02:19really nice to his credit, they're very nice, quite thick chocolate actually on

02:26them, I can't complain. I do like a rice cake anyway, but they're quite

02:33nice and I was worried that the chocolate was going to be all cheap and

02:36nasty, it's not. I think I personally prefer the milk chocolate, that's just a

02:40personal preference for me, it just it has more taste in general, but nice and

02:47crispy rice cakes, nice tasting chocolate, I mean what more can you say. The only

02:51thing I was just wondering about and I looked on the back, per 31 gram cake, they are

02:57quite chunky, they're quite solid things, 31 grams. If you look at the amount of

03:03saturated fat, we have got, it's 15% of your daily recommended intake. Now I

03:13don't know if that's a lot or not, but it seems a lot. I guess if you are a

03:18bodybuilder or you're into your fitness, that might not be such a concern of

03:22yours, so, but I just wanted to point that out, that's the nutritional

03:26information there per cake, for anybody who is interested. But yeah, Danny, I think

03:36they're pretty good mate, I think you've done well and I hope that they sell well

03:39for you, because you've had a lot of trolling over the years and I hope that

03:44you can bring it back and do something good with it.
