We Ate the Squares 

yummy

Wow so this is the pinned comment

Yes

70s jello salad feels pretty dystopian

Agreed, 'dystopian' was the first word that came to mind when I saw these cubes! What a bizarre product, like, what is their demographic?? Nursing homes? Hurricane victims? Space age cafeteria food? Honestly

@@AnnaM-sp2qd I'd guess picky eaters, limited diet options, maybe for when food is needed but can't be prepared easily... But then the execution and pricetag lost all of that

Oh no not jello salad

Hahahaha true that. The quirky square shape and how it rationed per food parts (one for broccoli, one for chicken, etc) made it felt like in one of those awful dystopian future where everyone either lived rich or lived poor

I can't get over how adorable that was, they're so cute. 😭

relationship goals

Can't wait to brohug my future spouse lol

@@pissapocalypse Dude same

yess same 🥺

Yes! I actually really love the shape and glossiness, it looks appetizing to me 😅

My dream is to open a store where everything looks like Lush products but it's edible.

just actually eat delicious looking soap

the shape reminds me of those mousse desserts

you already can eat delicious looking soap, the bowel movement afterward will be an interesting experience though

The good news is you know what you’re getting and it’s the same every time. The bad news is it’s always bad. It’s like a monkey’s paw situation.

Little known fact when Kurtis said “squeet” he was referring to square eat, or squeet

HAHAHA, I have mild "sensory texture issues" with food and didn't think about this. To me, the squares seem like mushy unpredictable nightmares from a picky/sensitive eater perspective. Haven't tried em' tho so can't say for sure, but they sure don't look appealing.

@@Ligmamonkeyas a person so nerfed I can’t handle the textures of a cooked bean, one of the best and most widespread human foods of all time, a grainy wet square is an actual nightmare and is in fact cruel and unusual. This is less food than soylent drinks and I mean that

I get what you mean, cooked beans are some of the worst things texture wise IMO

the secret is that the "secret ingredient" is thousand island dressing 99% of the time :) (except for this time. This is that 1% lol)

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾 *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

Another truth many have been deceived of: When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

That had vine energy for sure

10/10. I very rarely laugh out loud even when I'm watching videos I think are absolute gold that I even share with friends, but with that I couldn't help but laugh. Was amazing.

Does that mean no more toppings for the picture of hot dog?

and square food wouldve been a perfect adding to the hot dog :(

@@TheSecondBeef why what happened

It was very cute

But they don’t say how much of each ingredient

They did what pink sauce didn't.

@@OrangesRBerries it's a scam and not fda approved

Legally they have to.

i hope he doesn't stop though

It wasn't even 12 minutes because of the massive advertisement in the middle.

@@davidbronstein2040 He's mentioned how the advertisers like the videos being released at the end of the month, so he procrastinates and then speedruns a video to get it out on time.

@@buckethead60i think it’s less that advertisers like for it to be released at the end of the month, and more that they want it released *before* the month is over, and he just ends up doing it last minute bc procrastination (relatable)

I thought this felt short

honey that’s not feminine that’s pica

@@chy7 I mean, pica is more common in females 😂

Abigail from Stardew Valley wrote this comment

honestly yeah. i always get the feminine urge to shovel rocks into my mouth, especially the colourful gemstones you get in shops

Also that's not really a good comparison (at least in my opinion) because airplane food that I tasted so far was delicious and complete. We would have lasagna, steak, stir fry, soup etc..( and it wasn't even a fancy company)

@@fiddleheadfern3 yeah like honestly I love airplane food. Like even when it's just a sandwich I have like it . Hospital food on the other hand is awful. So if you're compering yourself to that it can't be that great

@@walabixha1746 Definitely agree that hospital food is not the best. Though the only time I've been hospitalized I discovered that they also made delicious food but if I didn't ask for them they would keep giving me that tasteless broth. I felt so betrayed 😂

Roasting food your significant other love while eating it together is kinda rude tho

@@PunjabiGirl94 No, not brilliant. I don't think drew's ever been sponsored by brilliant actually 🤔

Exactly! My first thought was trying to figure out if Squarespace had ventured into Hello Fresh's business model and whether it would cause problems for RU-vidrs like Drew that work with both of them

I first discovered Drew Gooden with blue hair so he looks weird without it to me now lol

Fly high king 😔

Rip

He really rocked that blue hair

Nah, he's just trapped in the closet.

Circle nuts are too hard to eat, gimme them square nuts

Wait no youre totally right lmao

Wait you might be on to something

everything is better as squares.....i love squares the greatest shape.

They make precooked and seasoned grilled chicken strips that you buy frozen, for way cheaper than this. I literally microwave them and they ACTUALLY taste good and might be more convenient since to make the squares taste better you've gotta dirty a pan. they literally sell pouches of microwaveable rice, again for cheaper for a larger serving. Think they're like $1.50 now and it's easily the same as three squares. For the veggies, if you hate veggie texture- just heat up baby food and add some seasoning salt. If you like veggie texture, you can get 8oz-1lb of frozen veggies in a microwaveable streamable bag for $0.75-1.50. For fish, there's pouches of seasoned tuna/salmon that don't even need heating for around $1.50 also. As for nuts, as you said, they make 100cal pouches of nuts for cheaper than the squares. I keep some in my bag. If ya don't like the texture of nuts- nut butter exists! Basically you can make pretty easy and comparable meals with less cost and possibly less cooking/prep and more importantly- it's probably gonna taste better. Idk I get the square thing for those who have adversions to texture or the look of food, specifically for those with autism spectrum disorder. I have ASD (previously diagnosed as moderate functioning asbergers) and so I have issues with texture or look of food, for example cooked spinach, watermelon, tough cuts of beef, pork chops, yogurt drinks and more. My solutions? Eat raw spinach or have it blended into something else, watermelon popsicles (the real kind made of juice), ground beef, I avoid pork tbh, and I eat actual yogurt. If you're a desperate caregiver to an autistic dependent, squares might be a valuable tool. You could also make your own with molds and some simple ingredients like starches to bind things and stuff like gelatin to help hold the shape for cold items.

Also the editing on that part makes it even better

Wow what a fantastic way to address potential food safety issues that could put customers' lives at risk and sink your business. Certain things shouldn't be bullshitted tbh

@@screwyourhandle I mean Vivian got away with it, it seems. So far I mean

That's so not how customer service has worked at any of the companies I've worked at. I mean, training exists specifically so that you don't have to just make shit up?

Vivian might be an evil genius

@@JungleLibrary It probably depends on the size of the company. I've been in a position where I was trying to address a food safety issue with customers while the higher ups were deciding exactly how much information they wanted me to have. I didn't eat any of the food after that.

GOD that is spot on

I like that Amanda includes Drew in her videos. He's a pretty funny guy!

Honestly, if you get numbing spray and not texture sensitive, you could get these for dieting.

Ah, this confirms it. These are for those orthorexic techbros who deeply ontologically resent the human need to eat.

Just take a swig of olive oil to make up 1000+ of the remaining calories

I was wondering about the calories. The fact they're not high in calories makes the price even more baffling.

I came here to say exactly this. It's very visually satisfying.

MmmmMmm Square

​@@daryissaplayz2312 yum minecraft food.

The fact that Amanda, the squares, Drew, and their house all look the same is really visually pleasing.

yeah it reminds me of really fancy places where every serving is like a singular bite and super done up for no reason. Like if they were garnished and put on fancy plate I could be convinced but on their own they look a little dystopian

There used to be a place with healthy instant ramen in Japan where you got to choose freeze dried toppings that were all cubes which reminds me of that. You got to choose your noodles, soup base and vegetable cubes and then take your custom ramen cups home. Genuinely cool.

The only square food I’ll eat is a Wendy’s burger.

@@lini0024 "done up for no reason" as if incredible, well-trained professional chefs aren't making food for the love of it 💀 It does seem silly at a glance, but chefs in fancy restaurants get paid well for a reason. Also, the tiny food is often served as part of multiple courses, not just the one. So not only are you going to be full by the end of your 13 different tiny dishes, but you get to view the food as art, too. It's basically dinner and a show, mixed with amazing cooking and the potential to try something new. Not trying to seem too worked up about it, but then again I can't really help it because I'm really passionate about cooking and art lol. I really respect the culinary world and the years of mastery that goes into it.
