Tottenham Hotspur’s beloved star Son Heung-min recently appeared on SPORTbible’s Snack Wars, where he took on a delicious challenge: comparing popular snacks from the UK and Korea. From sweet treats to tangy pickles, Sonny gave honest—and often hilarious—reactions as he rated each snack based on personal taste. Here’s how it all went down.

First up were Jaffa Cakes, the iconic British biscuit-cake hybrid with a chocolate top and orange jelly center. Sonny, ever polite, gave it a try—but it was clear he wasn’t a fan. He admitted the orange and chocolate combo didn’t hit the spot, though he praised the chocolate layer and the soft texture. “Disappointing,” he said with a smile, clearly leaning more toward the kind of snacks he grew up with.

Then came a rather bold offering: pickled onions. At first, Sonny looked completely baffled. “This is a snack?” he laughed, before bravely biting into one. While the pickled onion itself was tolerable to him, the sweet vinegar sauce was too overwhelming. He cheekily added that adding cheese might help—but in a matchup against Korean kimchi, he called it an “easy win” for Korea.

Things started to look up when he tried Tottenham Cake, a pink-iced sponge cake native to North London. Sonny’s reaction was instant and full of warmth—he loved it. Describing it as soft, creamy, and nostalgic, he said it reminded him of a dessert from his childhood, even likening it to custard. This treat clearly earned a thumbs up from him.

Next were the classic British candies Love Hearts, known for their sweet messages and chalky texture. Sonny didn’t hate them, but he wasn’t overly impressed either. “Not bad,” he shrugged, but added they lacked a special flavor. Instead, he reminisced about his favorite childhood candy: lollipops, which made him feel “cool” at school. In the Love Hearts vs Korean jellies comparison, the jellies won for their stronger flavor.

When it came time for the final verdict, Sonny gave the edge to Team Korea. Despite enjoying the Tottenham Cake, his heart—and taste buds—clearly favored the bold, familiar flavors from home. Kimchi reigned supreme, and the overall win went to Korea.

In a wholesome twist at the end, Sonny was asked who he’d share a pack of Love Hearts with. Without hesitation, he named his close friend and teammate Ben Davies, laughing about how they share similar personalities both on and off the pitch.

The segment gave fans a charming look at Son Heung-min’s down-to-earth personality. With his mix of honesty, humor, and heart, Sonny turned a simple snack tasting into an entertaining watch—and made us all crave kimchi just a little more.
