JOLLY's Costco tasting gives the headmaster a pickle revelation

Hot dogs, pizza and a chicken recipe made inside its own bag reach the school library, but Mr. Smith's cucumber confusion dominates the comments.

British Highschoolers try Costco Food for the first time!

Costco's hot dog gets a price-conscious reception. The pickle crisps prompt a more fundamental question: what exactly is a pickle?

JOLLY brings its food-tasting format back to a British school in "British Highschoolers try Costco Food for the first time!", which has drawn about 680,000 views since yesterday. Ollie serves the pupils and headmaster Mr. Smith a spread that runs from food-court staples to rotisserie chicken and dried mango.

It is Mr. Smith who gets the unexpected lesson. Discovering that the pickles in question are cucumbers, he asks: "So you don't grow pickles?" Viewers keep returning to that exchange and the teacher trying to contain her laughter in the background. Others ask JOLLY to take the headmaster to America.

The pupils have their own ways of unsettling their host. David rolls his pepperoni pizza slice into a burrito, prompting Ollie's verdict: "I do not understand Gen Alpha." Later, the rotisserie chicken becomes both lunch and a lesson in loss leaders, products priced cheaply to bring shoppers through the door.

Then comes a different sort of food preparation: shredded chicken, rice, sauces and green onions mixed inside the chicken bag. The video includes a paid Nourish segment before returning to the tasting.

Cookies and dried mango round out the spread, but staff have saved something more personal for the school visit: a large Costco cake for a pupil's birthday.
