Game! pocketpixel.design/preorder-s... At last! The opportunity to make my own gummy sweeties, which has been my life long ambition since last Thursday! I hope it goes well! (Spoilers: It does not.) #Gummy #DIY #Ashens
The worst was the time he ripped open a pouch of One Direction bubble gum mix, not knowing it would be in powder form that exploded into a horrendous sticky spot on the sofa.
I used to buy Japanese versions of this called Popin' Cookin'. I always had to be very careful not to spill any powder to get the optimal results. You'd be surprised how little powder can drastically change the consistency. I doubt PoundLand has the same QA on measurements but I did see quite alot of mess on the sofa xD
Absolutely true! Because the proportions are so small, even a couple drops of water can make things come out way differently. I remember making the Kracie Popin’ Cookin’ sushi, and getting the consistency of the rice anywhere near correct was always a pain (had to start with slightly less water, then added a drop at a time so I didn’t get a mushy, disgusting mess). Then there was the burger one where you had to microwave the bun, patty, and fries… all of them were so fun, but getting them right could be really hard!
Yeah, they're available on amazon. The popin' cookin' ones come in multiple styles. Like burger and fries, meat flavoured sweets anyone? No? Yeah I've tried, it's not great
@@michael.d. I feel ya bud, I actually think Michelin star chefs would struggle with that Sushi, stuff needs to be made in a lab. I tried twice, I failed twice.
"I followed the instructions to a T!" meanwhile, a not insignificant amount of powder spilled all over the work surface. These kits are very sensitive to quantities, so if you spill the powder everywhere, there's no chance they come out right.
To be fair, the instructions didn't say NOT to spill the powder nor did it mention anything about the need to be precise (in fact they didn't fucking say anything really). Also to all the people saying he added one then mixed and then added the other...well the pink one was only one-part so there goes that theory.
my man, there are SO many of these sorts of kits out there. if you're ever lost for content, you could make an entire series out of "weird japanese diy food kits". it's not just candy either, they've got kits to make miniature pizzas and burgers and sushi, all made out of powder and water, that SUPPOSEDLY tastes like the real things (it doesn't, at all). either way would love to see you do more of these monstrosities :)
I wish someone would do a video where they combine a bunch of those kits together to make one big thing - either a bunch of the same kit, mixed together to make a bigger version of whatever it is - Or a bunch of different ones all at the same time to make a big ala carte buffet or something. If you combined a bunch of the same ones together to make a bigger version of the thing, then you'd have to come up with something else to use for the molds and adjust the cooking times, but it'd be interesting to see if it'd work, and how it'd taste.
If only he'd had Lord Percy Percy's finest Green. (Non-Comedy sidenote, James Smithson, the man the Smithsonian is named for was the bastard son of Lord Percy and he discovered a pure green mineral)
@@theblode1337 I mena, the laxative effect comes from xylitol or something similar I believe? Which is the same thing that gives such warning on chewing gum, but you'd have to eat either one by kilos to get the effect unless you're sensitive to it.
Mate... I started as a 20 year old man watching a 30 year old man eat expired foods and buy many same but different polystations... I’m now 30 and he’s in his 40s. It truly doesn’t get better 😅
When he said "who am I to disagree" I subconsciously continued "I've travelled the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for that horrible something" An Ashens version of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams (are made of these)" called "Nightmares (are made of tat)"
99p stores was better. They once refused to sell me super glue saying they couldn’t sell it to me as I was under 16, then I whipped out my licence and proved I was 18. They were like wtf. He is 18! At the time I was pissed off they thought I was 15 or so, but now I would kill to look 3 years younger. True story.
Dumps half the packet on the table.. "I don't understand.. I did everything right" .. Notices a lot of its still in the pack too... "no.. no.. it's the instructions that are wrong"
@@eyeballpaul700 Maybe because he says in the fucking video 'Oh the bun split', indicating it was due to the stale shit of the bread not any cutting effort on his part. Still totally blanketted the comments in inanity to a degree I've scarcely seen.
I've been watching old Ashens Lootcrate unboxing videos and, while this is far from an original comment on an Ashens video, the consistency is comforting.
Master Shake always seemed like a fun uncle character. "The only reason that God does not wipe you from the face of the Earth is because you amuse Him somehow."
at 0:56 there's a food basket (?) of some kind on the package that says まいう, which is probably a hilarious misspelling of うまい, meaning "delicious" in Japanese.
I was convinced RU-vid was recommending Ashens because I watched him years ago. I saw the thumbnail and into and thought: “wow what a throwback.” But no. This is just consistent context for like, a decade. Same couch, same music, same icon...
I appreciate Stu doing the cooking exactly by the book. He knows he can't be lazy. It was a bit of a messy recipe, though, and the treat did end up crazy.
I pre-ordered the Jetpak game and I do not regret it. The game series has a special place in my heart as I have been playing them since Donkey Kong 64 (and then buying Rare Replay many years later). Definitely worth the $60+. I look forward to playing the physical game when it arrives
I’ve been making gummy sweets since I was a kid. If you take 2 yellow Jelly tots and sandwich a purple one between them then squash them together, you make a little burger. You can add an orange one for cheese, red for tomato and green for lettuce...it was the 80s, we had to make our own entertainment in those days! 🍔
Today I watched an L.A. Beast and an Ashens video back to back. It's like going back 10 years IN a timemachine and I was pleasantly suprised. Both are still amongst the best RU-vidrs in my opinion.
@@eyeballpaul700 I commented because Stu likely fucked up by not doing that, and because of how small everything is, getting those few drops right matters. And yes, I am.
Came back after watching you for many many years and you havent changed a bit. Love this. My old account got banned when i was a kid. Been here since the ps3 fake and psp fake. Over 10 years now :D
I just started the vid, but just seeing this item, I have to say I strongly suspect it is based off a popular Japanese line of products that has the same premise of making your own gummies, and sometimes other miniature (edible) foods, it's by Kracie and called Popin' Cookin'. It's not just the idea that's the same, the packets of powder, molds and mixing spoon are pretty much identical in make too! Edit: after actually seeing the items actually out of the box now, the spoon is much worse quality compared to thr Japanese ones and is like 25% smaller. Also the Kracie kits don't come with plastic toys of creepy ice cream holders with faces on.
I've been french fangirling at you mentioning "telechat" (!!!!), fantasizing you having discovered it thanks to "Le joueur du grenier". But how will I ever know for sure?
These are off-brand poppin cooking. Poppin cooking tastes a bit better I assume. But where I live at least they are kinda pricy for something trivial. Like $6-8. For a tiny gummy snack. No thanks. I tried to make them and they were good. Just, not $6 for a few bits good. Lol.
@@existence3585 I suppose. I mean, Japan does tend to have a lot of products that are experience-oriented. And overpriced stuff with cute packaging that I absolutely shouldn’t buy but do anyway.
You didn't bugger it up Stuart. I bought 2 of the foodie surprise carts on clearance. I will say the carts are really cute and nicely designed and that was both the beginning and end of any good feeling that kit gave me. I had the exact same experience with preparing the sweets and I followed the instructions closely for 2 separate kits. They also tasted like a disgusting chemical lab. I think they ran out of money after designing the cut little foodie carts and cheaped out on making the actually sweets half decent.
I remember Dr. Dreadful, it was fun and fantastic... until you used it the one time... then it was all gone and then what are you supposed to do with the thing after Christmas day? That box *did* _dreadfully haunt_ my closet for years until it finally got thrown away.
