Welp, seeing there are countless comments about how we “should have done it blindfolded”, guess we’ll make a pinned comment 😆😆 We have another video planned very soon that we intend to do blindfolded so we intentionally didn’t do it for this one. We went into this pretty objectively and to fill our own curiosity around the question and don’t feel like blindfolded would have changed things much. Had fun with it 👍 Much love, -Pete & Nate
Hah, pretty boring there. Run, and sit on a computer all day is literally it. Check out the description box where we address when/if we’ll make different types of content that people ask for 🙏🙏

Love the recent videos with fun themes rather than trying to max out calories! I feel bad when you two are pushing past pain to finish food... It's more fun to watch you enjoy the whole way through. :)
Dang, that means so much to us!! Seriously couldn’t be more stoked you look forward to the videos - comments like this really keep us pushing to create fun videos. Thanks for the love & kind words!
@@TheTakedownTwins I’m the one thanking! I’m very happy to have a positive effect on your motivation, as all I wrote I sincerely meant. Thank you guys for once again making my day!!
This is such an amazing video idea! I love how y’all are so creative when it comes to making each video. Ik it could be hard sometimes picking something to do, but y’all never fail at making such amazing videos.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, Kimberly! You’re right, it’s not always easy but it’s certainly fun to execute an idea and pull it all together 😃😃 So glad you enjoyed!
Hey there :) a cool challenge could be, that you chose 10 categories e.g amongst Favorite cake Favorite dessert Favorite candy Favorite colour (food that represent that colour) Favorite drink Favorite fruit Favorite ice cream Favorite spread Favorite salty snack Favorite sandwich Favorite childhood snack Favorite breakfast Favorite fast food Favorite chocolate bar Favorite bakery item Then you would either have to purchase them for each other and see, if you know each others preferences to the tea or otherwise purchase them yourselves and then switch so you would eat each others faves - I am sure it could spike som good conversations and so on
Oh trust us, we totally agree! That’s why we put that little disclaimer in the intro so people knew we were just saying “expired” for the fun & drama 🤣🤣 Can’t go wrong saving a little!
Wow your Wal-Mart has so many selections! Nice. I loved the style of this video. In the future it'd be rad to see you guys to comparisons of products from different countries, like USA vs. Canada!
So glad you enjoyed, Ken! Our Walmart definitely has quite the extensive selection! Love the USA vs other country idea! We’ll have to get our hands on some international goods and do something like that soon! 😃😃
This is another great video, so glad you guys are more happy with this type of content. People who haven’t discovered you are missing out!! Love it guys
Wow, thanks for the love, Alisha!! It was a lot of fun making this one 😃😃 Definitely having a good time experimenting a little and hopefully some people will find us along the way 🙂💙 much love to you!
Very interesting dissection of expired foods. Really enjoyed it. It seems like the more dense and buttery the food is, the better it holds up over time. As good as the wal mart bakery is, theres one sad aspect of it I think we'd all agree on. Their donuts are definitely not worth it, lol. Looking forward to next time! P.s. Last night I discovered they had these cream cheese filled pumkin blondie brownies you might like to try.
You’re absolutely right - the cake & cookie style goods definitely hold up better then the pastries! Yeah, we’re not typically picky when it comes to donuts but they’re not the greatest 😅😅 we thought the apple fritter was decent but the cruller was down right offensive 🤣🤣 also, we actually did just try that pumpkin blondies! Strong ginger flavor and could use more texture maybe from some white chocolate chips in the base but pretty good. The real winner was the pumpkin white chocolate decadent cookies they just released 😍🤤 those are a new favorite!
Definitely love the concepts and uniqueness of your videos! They are a fresh and welcomed change to all of the others out there in which pizza and burgers are consumed! I really enjoy watching you guys and the cohesiveness you bring to the table.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, Colleen! We get lots of requests for very frequently done videos so it’s always amazing to hear someone can tell we’re trying to do things a little less common and that you enjoy it! 😃😃
1. If the decision was difficult or really close, you have to give the point to the clearance/expiring one. 2. You should have randomized the order of tasting when it came to fresh vs expiring. 3. You should have done it blinded to which was fresh vs expiring. 4. Batch inconsistency could explain variability too, so a better method would be either more sampling over a few days or weeks OR buy from one batch fresh, taste some of it, taste more later past expiration date, compare scores. 5. When are we getting the Erik The Electric collab/competition involving both endurance sports and eating challenges?
1. Our video our rules. 2. We have another video planned that we want to do blind folded so wanted to do this one different - had a great time with it. 3. If you followed us on IG you’d know that Nate has been recovering from an Achilles injury and hasn’t been able to run in over 2 months now. Also, Erik himself has said he probably won’t be doing endurance spots x food challenges as they don’t perform as well for him. Never mind the fact that we are currently experimenting with different types of videos while Nate recovers and aren’t focusing on challenges. 👍
Hi, I really admire how you enjoy and make fun in every video like there's no pressure finishing it💪 You really did deserve more subscribers💗 Continue to enjoy and make us happy🥰 -I'm a fan from Ph🇵🇭
this video is the best one you folks made!!! So much creative. So much more meaningful than just keep eating! Good job. Please keep going with this kind of super great idea!
I forgot to comment on your last video but im LOVING this new content! Changing it up from challenges to taste testing/ranking foods etc. Is what I'm here for 😊 variety is the spice of life they say! You guys seem more relaxed and enjoy what you're doing to so keep it up!
We’re so happy you’re enjoying the new videos! Definitely having fun experimenting with them and it’s keeping it fresh for us as well 🙂🙂 Thanks for the love!
Yup 👍 standing on my last video comment... Twin Hosts star over themed food-eating. What I mean is I’d watch you two almost do anything... what other talents do you have?! - - - What other ideas have you stashed?Sing? Music? Sports? Cars? Poker? Outdoors? Can’t wait 😊
Haha, yeah a good 50% of the comments are people telling us we should have done it blind folded. We have another video planned very soon we will be doing blindfolded so intentionally didn’t do that for this one. So glad you weren’t disappointed though and thrilled you enjoyed 😃😃
Very interesting this one! Almost every items can be eaten after expired date. I think we have to trust our smelling, observing and tasting capacities to evaluate if they are still good to eat! Great video guys 👍
You guys deserves millions of followers! Your videos are well-made and edited, the content is great and you’re both likeable people :) Keep uploadin’ em 😎🤟🏻
Love these new types of videos that are still food related but different from the challenges! Its great to see you guys looking a bit more relaxed and like your having fun- and not in such pain by the end! ;) hahaha. Happy that you all feel like you can try some new things... because regardless of what it is, it never fails to be such great quality and super entertaining. Will support you guys always!!
So glad you’re enjoying the different types of videos! 😃😃 Great idea as well - we’d have to work white chocolate in there as well seeing it’s our fav 😁🤘
Love all your content and will always watch you guys are quickly becoming my favorite channel! My favorite videos are the mystery challenges you guys do! super unique
Hi Pete and Nate! Hope you guys are well. I like that you not only had fresh bakery items but you also had expired items too. Again your creativity is fantastic. It makes me so happy to see you eat the way you do!. Much love 💙💙
Loved this video! It was so unique and some of the choices you made really surprised me. Although most videos you guys like the same things, as a future video idea, maybe guessing each other’s top five bakery items. Similar to how your did your desert island video where you hid them. I think it would be interesting what the other twin thought of the items you picked
I just tried cream cheese on a croissant the other day because you guys recommended it, and I have to say it was delicious!! Thanks guys 😁 Love your channel and the variety of formatting is great. Please keep posting when you feel like it...I'll be here!
Dang, so glad you’re enjoying the channel and possibly even more glad to now have a fellow cream cheese + croissant fan in the house! 😍😍 You can’t go wrong there 😁😁
Really fantastic video! Loved the idea of comparing clearance vs. fresh. Honestly, you both have turned me on to the Walmart bakery! I saw the Ooey Gooey Bars last time and thought of you 👀 Next on my “Takedown Try List” is putting cream cheese on a croissant or Hawaiian roll. Can’t wait for the next video! 😋🤘🏼
Great video! I work at Walmart and the Bakery has some really delicious items. The Decadent cookies are amazing along with the muffins! Some of the pastries you had I have not tried but will have to, I'm thinking that they must have different things in different states, since I am from Minnesota. Always look forward to your next video!!
Beauty face off! The "marked down" held strong as expected. If this was Quik-e-mart marked down food... we'd have a different story. (Possibly one that ends up with stomach poisoning) Anyways back to reality. Seriously excellent and entertaining content guys!
Hey Nate and Pete, I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I thought all the products other than the banana bread would be better fresh because that is dense and can sit for a couple days, probably tasting similar. But the flaky stuff, for me would have to be eaten fresh. I’ve never seen cowboy cookies, let alone heard of them before. I don’t think I would buy any bakery items on sale unless there was a significant discount (more than fifty cents). For me less than that, you might as well buy the fresh. Keep up the good work. Very entertaining. Lots of Love From Toronto Laura
Totally agree that, if you’re only saving about 20 cents or so, you can’t go wrong with the fresh! Just thought it was fun to see if there was a clear difference or not 😁😁 So glad you enjoyed and great hearing from you, Laura!
Love you guys! And happy belated birthday! Also my birthday is coming up next week! Your videos always makes me feel hungry lol sending lots of love ❤️
What a great concept guys👍I think I got to try that 🙂awesome video guys 👍I really like these kinda videos giving a short review 🙂another challenge taken down by the legendary take down twins 👍🙂much love stay safe and hungry and keep eating 🙂👍♥️
Thanks, Richard! Definitely wouldn’t classify the newer videos as “challenges,” but rather just fun food videos 😁 happy you enjoyed the content and concept!
Heyy such a great idea never saw that kind of video 😅 omg when you were shopping people must have thought you were hosting a big event or trying to feed america, that is a lot of food 😂😂
😆😆 we’ve certainly drawn some attention to ourselves shopping for some of these vids. The best was when we were shopping for our cake rematch challenge and the cashier said “hosting a party I see…” and we just looked at each other and said “YUP!” and then she looked back at us with a bit of distaste and continued ringing out the order. When we left we were like “what the heck was that about?” And then we remembered that there was the whole “no large gatherings” rule that was being pushed on the news all day every day around the holidays because of the pandemic and the whole “getting ourselves out of having to say we were going to eat all the cake ourselves” plan backfired 🤣🤣
Another excellent video guys, brilliant concept and so interesting to see your thoughts on fresh and clearance foods. Oh and the more you said 'moist' the more I laughed 😅. Love it! ❤
Hey Takedown Dudes , now I've got to make a batch of peanut butter no-bakes , Those are my favorite , love making them and if we ever cross paths we will have a no-bake party !!!
That was a fun video and good to know you can still get quality items from the clearance rack! It would also be fun if you bought fresh and clearance again but each twin hides items from the other to see if you can guess which is fresh and which is clearance!! LOL Great job once again
Hah we have have two blindfold videos planned in that exact method which is why we chose not to do it for this one. Those are being done soon and we don’t want everything to be the same and feel get stale.
Hello! Thank you for the fun video this time. It was a very interesting challenge. The Fresh is the best, of course, but it was surprising that the Clearance is more delicious. from Japan❤️
Not so much a “challenge” but a fun comparison video 😁😁 We’ve had lots of good experiencing with the clearance items so it was fun to see how they actually held up! So glad you enjoyed the video 💙💙
Another great video guy's!! The Takedown twins deliver with another amazing concept!! Hope you had a fantastic birthday!! Have a wonderful week, much love from a fellow twin!! 🤩🙌
I know I am years late with this comment lol but sometimes items don’t look the same because different people make them. I used to work at two grocery store bakeries and you can always tell who did the baking that day lol
What a great video, very different and I thought that expired and fresh would have a significant difference but it didn't really. I would have thought the scale have went one way or another by alot
Thanks, Justin! Stoked you enjoyed it 🙏🙌 We expected the same! The surprise that it wasn’t going that way made for a bit of fun and the whole thing totally worth doing 😎
Just wanted to wish you both a Happy Birthday!!!!! Our similarities keep surprising me. I have said I was a twin, and now my husband's birthday is August 18th (today). Tell me you have or love cat's and I think we are related.....brothers from another mother...LOL
😃😃 thanks so much for the birthday wishes! Tell your husband we say happy birthday as well 🎉 Unfortunately we have some pretty gnarly cat allergies so we kind of steer clear of em tbh 😅 Much love!
I think some sort of blind version of this where only the other twin knows which is which (fresh or expired) would be a fun way to truly test if there’s a difference! Great video though!
Half of this comment section is people saying we should have done it blind folded 😆 we have another video planned we intend on doing blind folded so intentionally didn’t do that for this was. We went into this pretty objectively and could clearly tell the difference in certain cases. 👍
You’re really experts on the Wal-Mart baked good section (and so I am watching these videos 🤣🤣) ! I was thinking this was going to be a blind taste-test, but if you were also thinking about price when you gave out the ratings then you had to know which was which.
Hahah yes we definitely have wandered and purchased from their bakery a few too many times 😅😅 We we’re considering doing it blindfolded but we have another idea planned with that in mind so figured we’d run with it like this 😁😁
Happy you’re enjoying our little “experimental phase” lol 😃 lots of fun ideas in mind 🤘 Hah, yeah people really love to see calories for some reason so we figured we’d add them in this time. Thanks for the feedback!
Not surprised the blueberry muffins topped the list. Muffins stand superior once again! 😁 Totally agree with your assessment. Some products are simply better fresh and others get better after a couple days (I'm looking at you lasagna). Really fun and interesting video lads! Keep it up 👍
Love this style video. Want you guys to bake home made from scratch goodies and match up them versus boxed mixes . What’s better : putting the effort of mixing the flour sugar etc or just buying Duncan Hines ? 🤔
Stoked you enjoyed it! Yeah, we wouldn’t classify these newer videos we just put out and will continue doing as “challenges.” Kind of stepping away from those types of videos for the foreseeable future and just creating food content instead as explained in the community posts a few weeks back. So I definitely wouldn’t expect the “challenge” style anytime soon 🙏 Much love!
Awesome video my favorite twins! (Besides my twin bro and I) lol😂😂 I've always wondered about the difference between fresh and clearance stuff. Thanks for doing this for us. 🤗☺❤ I so need to try those Cowboy Cookies. They sound so good.🤤 Hope you guys are having a great week. ☺ Nate, how is your Achilles doing?? Thinking of it.❤☺
Lol! Yeah it was interesting seeing the difference side by side because we often purchase clearance stuff because it still tastes great. Turns out in some cases it’s not as ideal as others though! The cowboy cookies are good but they have better options available if you’re buying fresh such as the decadent pearl sugar cookie and decadent white chocolate chunk pumpkin cookies which are favs 🙏 Achilles is doing better with time. Gotten a few jogs in so far and introducing some load baring exercises. It’ll get there slowly but surely.
Loved the idea of this video! Ngl sometimes i do be buying the clearance stuff to save some money haha so glad to see sometimes the quality is kinda hand in hand with fresh ones (obvs with cheesy stuff fresh ones are always better cause of the melty cheese and also in most cookies because they're still soft) also, and before all the french people come offended at you,the "chocolate croissants" are actually pain au chocolat I think xD
Hahah, we’re all about saving when we can! Thought it would be fun to see if it was worth it and this ended up being really fun and slightly informative 😁😁 So glad you enjoyed the video, Renato!
@@TheTakedownTwins yeah now we all know some things are reallt worth it and some other things are better fresh maybe if the clearance ones that were less good were microwaved they'd have a slightly "fresher" taste Maybe that's a video idea "Is EVERYTHING better in the microwave"
Y’all often talk about your favorites in the plural sense. Foods that you both like for whatever reason. Video idea: Showcase your differences/Favorite Foods unique to each of you. Or some variation of that core concept.
Somewhat along those lines: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4pO2wEduB0I.html We share the same exact fast in foods with the exception on a very small list of items we disagree on like candy corn and cool whip haha. Besides that we eat and enjoy the same things 🤷♂️
Was surprised with some of the expired winning items, goes to show that you don’t always have spend the extra money and that fresher isn’t always better! You guys should do a branded v non-branded snacks at some point be interesting to see how many non-branded items are better as oppose to the branded items
Great idea for a video….maybe it would be cool to do a blind taste test and vote for which one you like best without knowing it’s expiration date? Just a suggestion but it’s awesome either way!!!
Much appreciated, Anthony! We have plans for another video we want to do blindfolded so we decided to approach this one a little different 😁😁 Was a lot of fun! So glad you enjoyed!
Couldn’t agree more! Especially seeing a lot of local bakeries close early and we’re not always able to shop for a video till later in the day, Walmart’s got the goods and always works with the schedule 😁😁
Happy belated birthday 😻😻. Interesting video i totally think the texture or the filling influence the results here. Kiiling it as usual and i am so happy you uploaded this week too 😻😻. Edit : this is not a chocolate croissant 😭 depending on the region we call it chocolatine or pain au chocolat 😂. Not mad at you though 🙏🏻😂
Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! It sure was a wild one 😆😆 Happy you enjoyed the video, Emma! Haha oh boy. We just go by the packaging and description of the product 😁 in the event that you were to actually be “mad” it would better be directed at Walmart than us anyways 🤣🤣
I mean look, if the clearance is only slightly worse than fresh I go clearance all the time. Money is important, I ain't gonna spend more of it just to get SLIGHTLY better food xP.
If you can't choose or they are that close you need to choose the expired. That is the whole point, that clearance is just as good as fresh in that case. In several cases you praised the clearance and then didn't give them the point or negated it by giving the fresh a point too. 🤨
Haha yeah we mentioned that in both sections with the croissants in particular as they even say on the packaging “best served warm.” Will have to try that next time
