Food vlogger Kevin Escalera from Miami sampled British snacks, including Percy Pig sweets, during his UK visit. Opting for the Phizzy Pigtails variant, he praised their chewiness and sour flavor. However, TikTok users quickly pointed out his 'crucial mistake' in not selecting the original Percy Pigs.

Commenters emphasized that the original Percy Pigs, known for their fruity flavors and soft texture, are the quintessential British treat. One user remarked, 'Original Percy pigs are an elite sweet.' This highlights the cultural significance and preference for the classic version over newer variations.

Launched in 1992, Percy Pigs have evolved into a cultural phenomenon, with the original sweets now being vegan-friendly since 2022.
