I Tested More Tiktoks That May Kill You- Smiley Face Burger, Hot Dog Roll Up Bake, Orange Jello Sala 

OOf that smiley burger looks like some kind of Scrub Daddy blood sacrifice. 😂

Texan here and my family has a similar jell-o recipe 😂 (lime jell-o, pineapple, marshmallows, milk, cream cheese & cottage cheese). I LOVE it and, regrettably, once took it to a company potluck. Literally EVERYONE was quietly like "WTH is that??" 🤣

When he said hardtack I was expecting the Tasting History Max "clack clack" clip lol. I watch him to often to subconsciously do that in my head whenever I hear the word

The gag/gasp paired with the “makin’ my flesh crawl” sent me 😂😂

2:01 my mother used to wrap a hot dog in a corn tortilla, pan fry it, and serve it with yellow mustard. She called it a hot dog taco. It is very simple, but tasty.🤗🤗🤗😋

That sheepish, sneaky second bite at 2:56 is relatable. Honestly, this one is fine and even open to modifications like a different cheese or even caramelized onions in the tortilla.

For the ambrosia: skip the cottage cheese and jello, double the marshmallows, use pineapple chunks instead of crushed, add chopped maraschino cherries and drain and pat dry all the fruit. Too much juice will deflate the whipped cream into a soupy mess, the jello overpowers the flavors of the other fruit, and the acidity makes it harder for the whipped cream to stay fluffy. The dish is supposed to be mostly marshmallows, though.

EVERYBODY‘S SO CREATIVE!

Personally with the ambrosia, I would drain most of the pineapple juice out before adding the pineapple because it looks way too runny

Typically that salad does not have Jello in it. There might be some out there with it, but not 3 boxes 😂

My grandma makes the best orange jello “salad” it’s just orange jello made normally, but you add mandarin oranges and shredded carrots to it. So good.

Down south, we grow up with sweet tea in our bottles so....too sweet is very subjective. ambrosia is a staple at every Basement Baptist potluck and ours always had marishino cherries and is more fluffy than runny. Or you can buy it premade at the grocery store deli counter. and that chicken recipe is also very similar to a lot of things we eat too! There's always a chicken crockpot pasta or dip made with similar ingredients at the potluck too. I was thinking it sounded delicious haha.

I can't explain why I find my SIL's Ambrosia so addictively scrumptious. I'm not a huge fan of the individual ingredients, though to be fair I don't know what all she puts in it, and I don't ask, but, together, this "salad" sends my taste buds into orbit. She always sends me home with any leftovers and it doesn't last long, I can't help it.

Been watching your videos for long time, I've got just one question, if you suspect something might not come out that good, why not make proportionally less quantity 🤔

The slow cooker chicken is great on a ciabatta bun with pepperoncinis…of course no pasta. We tried the pasta version and thought it was too much so tried it on buns and loved it!!

I would 100% watch an "ambrosia salad taste test" video or different regional salads 😂

I grew up with your "orange jello salad" (orange pineapple whip in my household) and these are the differences in recipes: the marshmallows are not needed at all (I have never added and would never add), drain your canned fruit (it looked far too wet), cut the amount of cottage cheese in half (it's mostly there for texture), and use half the amount of jello powder. I myself am not a huge fan, but my brothers request it every year.

My mom's ambrosia is 1 & ½ contairs of cool whip, whole bag of mini marshmallos, a can of pears, can of pineapple tidbits, can of peaches and a can of mandarin oranges. Cut the bigger pieces and drain it over night. Some people like pecans/walnuts and coconut shereds mixed in..I dont agree with those mix ins. Mix it all together, let chill and boom, hoilday favorite

buc-ee's (the oversized gas station chain in texas) has something they call 'sausage on a stick' which is literally just a big ol sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla. its rlly good ! im not surprised the hot dog bake worked out lol

You thought ambrosia alongside other jello salads were bad, you should of seen the infamous Party Cheese Salad. Which is a jello salad made with lemon jello, crushed pineapple, bell pepper, celery, pimentos, cool whip, and cream cheese. And topped with American cheese. Some RU-vidrs made it and tried it, all with the same reaction to the known food crime.

I would totally try the hotdog one. I’ll never make it but if I was somewhere and someone ELSE had made it, I would try it.

I use to call a hot dog wrapped in a tortilla with a slice of cheese an “American burrito” when my kids were small.

I grew up with the orange jello salad as well as a pistachio version ❤ I miss them sometimes lol

We never added the additional cottage cheese to our ambrosia, which clearly does not allow it to set. Too much moisture. Ours set firm, so it was a fluffy jello with fruit and marshmallows. It's pure picnic food for eating outside. Pistachio pudding or lime jello works better than orange.

My aunt always made one she always called Pink Jello Salad 😂 I hated it. My niece? Loves it

that orange jello 'salad' is a very 60's recipe. the era of jello-molds/jello-salads was...a very dark time for humanity

The word "salad" comes from the French "salade", which is an abbreviated form of the earlier Latin "herba salata". Salt is associated with salad because vegetables were seasoned with brine (a solution of salt in water) or salty oil-and-vinegar dressings during Roman times.

Lol the second bite 😂

David, why do you do this to yourself? This is an intervention, we're concerned for you!

David, David, David..... trainwreck I cant help watching! 😂

The jello salad is the least heinous of all these recipes!

That smiley burger is a heinous crime against humanity

i grew up with ambrosia salad, my mom makes it for special occasions tho there's no jello or cottage cheese in it. it's just mini marshmallows, pineapple, little orange slices and whipped cream.

$15 for hot dogs? What the actual heck.

I got hooked on a version of ambrosia salad when I was a child. But we'd have it along side other strongly flavored foods, like bbq grilled chicken.

My family has a jello salad recipe. It’s orange jello, caned oranges and cool whip.

I'm from the midwest and I didn't know about those jello salads until I started working in a grocery store deli where they were VERY popular. I feel like it's not something you can try as an adult, you need to have some nostalgia to be able to understand it lol.

My aunt makes the most delicious ambrosia mold! Strawberry jello + frozen strawberries + crushed pineapple in a mold then slathered w/ sour cream. It sounds horrific but is my favorite desert by far

Ambrosia Salad is as its name suggests, the food of the Gods. Your mom gets it

I alays make the jello like it's supposed to be made and then add in the coolwhip and the fruit and all of that... and it's so delicious.

I do "hot dogs" with tortillas and a mozarella stick inside in the air fryer and it is good with any sauce you like, but this is too soggy for me...

Man i love ambrosia but i keep mine just sweet without any curveballs (i hope?). I just mix cool whip, pineapple chunks(not crushed), peeled Clementine segments (i don't like mandarins), maraschino cherries with the juice, mini marshmallows, and coconut flakes (obviously you wouldn't be able to have that i think 😅). I think its super tasty but i love sloppa too

Mexican here and those first hotdogs... We make them all the time LOL But we slice the winer and just fold the tortilla to make a quesadilla or we put the winers and cheese sadwiched in two flour tortillas to make a sincronizada.

Good God, that's not the ambrosia I grew up with. We make a few trays of jello (normally strawberry, orange, and a wild card one depending on the occasion), cut it up into 3/4" cubes, fold in some whipped cream, cut fruit, marshmallows. It's delicious and not too sweet because we usually use low sugar stuff and omit sugar in the whipped cream.

Just discovered your channel. Great video!

I knew one day the smiley burger would make it here and I wasn't disappointed. lol

“This is horrific”😂😂😂

I live in Georgia. My mom does cool whip, pistachio pudding, cherries, pineapple, walnuts, and marshmallows. Think it’s called watergate salad. I don’t care for it, but it’s not bad. 😂

The only time the potato chips to mashed potatoes even somewhat works is when you use those Japanese potato sticks bc they're thicker

Watching the jello salad thing just reminds me of how much MN and the south have in common. Whether it's the notable accents or the weird side dishes at BBQs we are all in this shit together. Home is always home.

before the intro finished I was trembling. You're a valiant hero... so we don't have to be. Real ambrosia is fresh orange, grapefruit + pineapple w coconut. Maybe maraschinos.? Pecans

I loooove ambrosia salad but my family makes it entirely differently (and better). We use fruit cocktail plus a ton of other canned fruits, drain them, then use homemade whip cream so you make it less sweet then what cool whip is, then add the mini marshmallows. It’s so good. Most of the sweetness should come from the fruit instead of the cream.

If that's a meat loaf I'm living on Mars.

We grew up eating Watergate salad.. No mayo or cottage cheese, just delicious (at least from my childhood memories).. 😄

Love your content david! Please make a Carbonara battle!❤❤❤❤

We make the jello thing for pretty much every holiday. The only difference is it's only a single box of jello because that flavor is INTENSE

If you didn’t like the last thing you should definitely try aunt Myrna’s party cheese salad.

All of those with the exception of beef face looked pretty good to me lol

The things people come up with 😭😭 My goodness

David id love to see you try the minnesota salads from that midwestern mom. A collab be harious.

I love Ambrosia fruit salad but the recipe my family makes is generally not so soupy. And no we don’t add any weird ingredients (that I know of, but it is a summertime only food so haven’t had it yet this year).

Texas here as well. We make the ambrosia but we use whipped cream

Ive never had that jello salad thing and honestly i dont think id like it either 😂 my parents used to make a different orange jello salad thing with shredded carrots, oranges, and pineapple which was good

Thank you for trying without the cottage cheese. Was so curious.

Your smiley face burger actually looked better than the original XD Having said that - my gosh, the things that get viral these days are something else XD

My family has a 'salad' with vanilla pudding mix, crushed pineapple, and boiled wheat berries. I have never been happier to be allergic to pineapple than I am when that 'salad' comes out.

I'm horrified. I grew up in the 70s, and had a lot of jello salad- you make the jello as jello, with the fruit in it. When it chills, you cube it, then mix stuff with it.

Always be careful with ground meat tho ! Got seriously sick after eating (infected ?) lamb meat a week ago Don’t be paranoid, just don’t take stupid “risks” 😅

I consider myself someone who is very much unfazed by most disgusting things; I've lived through the early ages of internet shock sites, seen worse IRL stuff... and yet seeing the intro clip of that jello salad made me gag.

Tbh these recipes are the reason why I thought for a very long time that Americans have the palate of a 5year old child (and sometimes I still do think that) 😅

3:42 There is no borderline involved. That thing IS horrifying. Yikes!🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣

We also made the ambrosia salad with pistachio pudding mix.... I've never seen it with the orange Jello... I think it's more of a mix between Watergate salad and ambrosia salad. I love the one made with pistachio though

my mom has made that exact orange jello 'salad' my whole life :D So it is a midwestern 80s (or earlier) thing, not a recent tiktok monstrosity. I didn't like it as a kid because I didn't like cottage cheese, but I actually kinda like it now. I will say her version only used one box of jello powder, and no marshmallows, so it was probably way less cloyingly sweet.

My sister makes what we call “orange fluff” similar to that fruit ‘salad’ that you made but it’s a lot fluffier and less soupy than that one 🥴 it’s actually a really tasty light desert when done well but I get why it’s off putting to some

Jello salad is southern now??? 😮 I grew up in MN and there was at least one Jello salad every holiday meal.

$15 for hot dogs is more disturbing than the raw meat.

For the algorithm! On on, my Liege

Where im from in the midwest we too have ambrosia salad, but this was not our recipe lol. Ill be skipping this one and sticking with the traditional usual my family and communities always made, one container of cool whip, sour cream, marshmellows, chunky pinapple, maraschino cherries, and mandarin oranges all drained and pat dry, and sweetened coconut flakes with chopped pecans as a garnish. All mixed together, its fluffy, sweet (but the sour cream helps to tone it down a little), and great in small portions with a big hearty potluck. I tried an south easterners attempt at ambrosia salad a few months back and as a Midwesterner he looked to me for approval and i accidentally made a face and had to tell him "you tried, its just... Not what i grew up with. But the kids love it!" I did not mean to destroy his dreams of making a midwestern approved ambrosia, but alas. Maybe next time ill just bring it to the cook out 😂 we do have a different version, called watergate fluff salad (different type of ambrosia but with pudding mix, think pistachio) thats almost the same minus the sour cream, butnits only a single pack of oudding mix and not THREE. We also do like our jello based salads... Really we'll make anything into a "salad" if you leave us alone in a room long enough 😂

One day you should collect your followers weirdest family recipes and recreate them

Assuming they're parody is underestimating how readily people will go "ooh, that looks like a cute idea!" and not think deeply enough to realize how horrifying it is to people with more culinary sense.

I’m from the south but had a strict but bougie mom who did not let her extremely ADHD kid have much sugar. To be fair I became a demon who literally bounced off walls screaming boula boula boula. But when I went to my grandmas I got to experience the joys of jello concoctions and some were better than others. As an adult the only one I really loved my ex’s mom made. It used jello, pudding, cool whip and mandarin oranges & I liked it enough I wanted to try and make an elevated version. Instead of cool whip, freshly whipped cream. Sub a homemade pudding instead of insant pudding, & maybe some salt to offset all the sweetness. I’ve never made it tho bc I gave up sugar, but I think it’d be pretty fire.

i literally had to look away when he took a bite of that face burger potato chip stuff

Basternied is funny asf😂😂😂

We already knew David would go for the whole sausage

We're from Tx and my mom made fruit salad but never added jello or cottage cheese

I think you need to create your own one pot pasta bake thing.

Praying for david's stomach

I have never seen an ambrosia that was made in that manner. Its always closer to the alton brown version

Omg....that last recipe! Just NO!!!! LOLOLOL

Have you seen That Midwestern Mom’s content? Her whole shtick is, “Minnesota salads that aren’t really salads” 😂 Some of them are abominations. 😂😂😂

Love your content david! (Daniel here)

For the meatloaf monstrosity just use a skull cake pan to make your favorite meatloaf. For the eyes only takes one , cut in half hard boiled egg. Add ketchup 'blood' and its horrifying af. BUT, it will taste good.

We have a version of ambrosia in New Zealand - usually a combination of fresh whipped cream, yoghurt (I usually use a raspberry), chocolate shavings, fruit (e.g. summer berries), and marshmallows. American ambrosia sounds like an abomination.

i like ambrosia, but the cottage cheese is very odd. and i have never had it with added jello flavoring... i usually just have it with coolwip, marshmallows, and the fruits

You sir, are a martyr for us.

omg, this is probably the worst group of recipes you have ever made. I can't believe these even exist. bless you for going through the trenches with them.

retry the chick parm pasta with YOUR recipe please :D

Ive made the BWW chicken parm pasta, its edible but straight trash. Also where did you find giant hotdogs?

The descent into madness contniues 🙃

as for the "salad" my fmr inlaw's kids HATED fruit salad, which no one told me before I made one for a get-together... except they LOVED mine. why? B/c their mormon family made "fruit Salad" by adding a few mismatched fruits to twice it's weight in Cottage Cheese, EVERY TIME, and got angry that they "couldn't get the kids to eat fruit!" Just chop, peel, mix a few common fruits and toss in lime-juice so it doesn't brown... they ate every bit of it!
