As a Trash Taste fan, the boys have committed the unforgivable, inexcusable and utterly reprehensible sin. They have become Americans. I am praying for their swift recovery from such a condition
In America, I got paid $2700 to attend uni. It does happen, but it only takes a chunk out of tuition This excludes the scholarship they gave me, which was $78000
The advice i allways give americans is this. Just go to uni in europe. Most European degrees count in the US. And most of the time it's ten times cheaper and you get to study at the oldest universities on the planet.
I actually bought blue corn tortilla chips and they're not blue, they're purple. Also that's one of the healthiest damn snacks I ever found, it only had like 3 ingredients.
The salt debate is Connor’s “fat has no flavor” argument all over again. You guys should invite on a chef or a food scientist. They could also explain what alcohol is to you
I had to take a step back from Connor's comment on salt... When it comes to chips like Pringles, Lay's, or Ruffles, my go is the original (salt) flavor. Garnt is in the right once again, after the chicken debate.
Connor’s logic: American snacks are so unhealthy America: yeah they aren’t meant to be healthy to begin with if you want a healthy snack go eat peanuts.
@@bofast Depends on the frequency. A friend of mine decided that he didnt want to eat less to lose weight, and instead only ate every other day. And it actually worked
Google is telling me: "Today, most vodka is made from fermented grains such as sorghum, corn, rice, rye or wheat, though you can also use potatoes, fruits or even just sugar." -- Garnt was right by accident. Rice was mentioned.
@@josker4271 ethanol is the result of yeast digesting sugar in a "mash" made from any of the above grains, vegetables, or fruits. water and carbon dioxide are also byproducts of making ethanol. they then distill the mash to get as much ethanol out of it as they can and then cut it down to proof with water. if you distill something to 200 proof (100% ethanol) and add an equal amount of water, you cut the proof to 100 (50% ethanol). the process is roughly the same from whiskey to vodka to gin to rum to liqueurs.
I think Meilyne might’ve screwed up with the “popular American snacks,” because I don’t think a mass majority of the items they’ve tried are considered popular.
The theme isn't "popular" it's "worst". And the issue with "what the REAL Americans eat" is that the instant someone brings that up, all the Americans act like they only eat "multicultural" foods and they're special for doing so. Can't tell you the amount of times I heard people argue that America has "culture", because there's an Italian restaurant around the corner. Ho-hos, Ding Dongs, Twinkies, shitty chocolate that tastes like barf, deep-fried or barbecue-sauce-drenched anything - those are the "American snack" staples for a reason. Poptarts and hot pockets aren't universally known for no reason. And they're both arguably terrible in both taste and terms of what they do to your body.
I'm gonna be completely honest, I have never once in my life heard of "Rap Snacks", Snaps, or Flamin hot macncheese in my life as an American. Also you should've just picked original Goldfish or Flavor Blasted Cheddar Goldfish for those, not pizza flavor. Picking wacky flavors of things with staple flavors is just setting yourself up for pain and discomfort, which is why I'm happy the Pop Tart flavor was such a classic in Brown Sugar Cinnamon. However as Twinkies go, I agree I have no clue why they have any amount of popularity, they're just gross greasy sugar cakes and should not be something legal to sell.
I don't get why these things are around I'm looking at other comments and it seems like all of us other Americans seem to by specific types of food, kinda makes me wonder who's actually buying these horrible creations like flaming hot mac n cheese
@@user-rm8jv7hv4z There's some Americans that will buy things like that simply just to see what they taste like, not even for enjoyment. I'd be shocked if there's a psychopath who actually prefers Flamin Hot Mac N Cheese over the original, let alone LIKES it at all.
Fun fact about when Garnt talks about tortillas shouldn't be blue. Actually in Mexico we have a variable of corn (which is from where our ancestors got tortillas) that is completely natural and blue. We also have green tortillas.
They honestly did get some of the worst snacks. Most of those snacks I've either never heard of or rarely ever eaten. I'm glad they agree that Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts slap.
9:36 This whole discussion had my French ass very confused. So, raisin is the French word for grape but is used in English to describe dried grapes, and raisins are called "raisins secs" in French, literally "dried grapes". Also, the words plum and prune. Prune is the French word for plum while we call prunes "pruneaux".
Modern English is a bit of a clusterfuck. Water and daughter rhyme. Indestructable means not destructable, but inflammable and flammable mean the same thing. Octopods, octopi, and octopuses are correct plural nouns for octopus. These things happen because English is an amalgamation language. Not only does English accept and incorporate the words of foreign languages, but those words are then turned subject to the inherent intricacies of English itself. Wild.
@@UltraMegaChicken yep it tales influences from many others. That's what makes it rich and interesting. The whole "english is a mess" shit is just so played out.
So you speak french and english so why are you confused? That's how it works. French loan words are heavily used in food. That's why we call pigs and cows, pork and beef for food.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme Oh don't get me wrong, I know about loan words. I just didn't know about these specifically so I guess I only had their French definitions in mind.
don't be tilted, laugh. these guys are not kids they're grown ass adults, and small children have more understanding of the world around them than they do. If "Dates Are Dried Plums" guy can make, anyone can make it.
@@randommcranderson5155 I think you’re looking into it a bit too closely. These dudes have lived in multiple countries and probably know more about the world than most people, knowledge of random fruit they have barely ever eaten is not a measure of intelligence
@@artorhen technically that's true but colloquially pretty much everyone just means like the US, Canadians also don't really like being referred to as American. It's kinda confusing i dunno why it's like that tbh
@@shrimpy9704 well, yes, the US pretty much made their identity to be synonimus with American, but then US has many subcultures that come from the rest of America, so I looked at it as American still. Of course, if that is not the case or I should no longer reffer to Mexicans as such, then I am willing to change that.
Yeh I picked up on this too, when he was talking about twinkies, and he echoed it a bit later too. Connor doesn't know the difference between cake and bread. Please explore this anomoly!!!!
43:33 As a Mexican, I have to disagree Mexico being the birthplace of Corn(Maize) has literal hundreds of varieties of corn with different colors like yellow, blue, purple, red, white, etc. so yeah Tortillas can be blue. Also Takis are not an American snack they are brand of corn chips distributed by Mexican snack-food maker Barcel.
About the atar, it’s not a mark it’s a rank. So Joey getting 94 atar does not mean he got 94 percent, that means his in the 94 percentile which means he ranks higher than 94% of every Australian student doing the hsc( the test they do ). In conclusion Joey is fucking smart .
Connor seemed like he just wanted to be as insufferable as possible on this. Everything is "dreadful" and "awful" to him even if it's just something mediocre and inoffensive.
In 2011, the US Congress passed a bill that allows pizza with two tablespoons (30 mL) of tomato paste to qualify as a vegetable. Soooo technically, it's the tomato paste which means ketchup qualifies as well. It's stupid, but there it is.
In US universities, it's not the fourth year that is really unnecessary, but the first. Students are expected to take General Education courses that are a bit of every subject, and are somewhat uniform across all majors (usually called 101 classes), and then the next three years you actually study what you want your degree in.
Ha unless you join your school’s honors college that makes you take their courses too dragging the gen eds aaaaall through the years plus summer and winter sessions
In the UK our final exams before Uni basically cover what you do in 1st year US. The thing is though, Further Maths also covers most of UK uni first year, so this would be almost half the US university course done before we even get to Uni
@@kougamishinya6566 Do you just get to skip gen eds altogether? Also damn y’all are doing Calc 3 and Diff Eq in high school? Thought it was just India pushing it that far
Plus they make you take classes that have nothing to do with your degree and force you to learn multiple languages and a physical education course. It's a waste of time and money. If you removed all the classes you don't need, you can turn a 4 year degree into about 18 to 26 months of learning.
As someone who has since being a kid grown raisins/grapes I can tell you this. 1)The word for raisins and grapes in Greek is really similar. Σταφίδες and Σταφύλια respectively. 2)Not all grapes can make wine/are used for wine. The variety used for raisins is harvested in August while grapes for wine are harvested in September. 3)The reason why we call raisins different is I guess the same reason why we call ice not "frozen water" or steam "boiled water". Sometimes we do that. Sometimes there aren't stuff like that. Anyhow hello from Greece btw. The country of Dionysus god of wine and revelry.
XD didnt expect greek language facts today but thanks stranger, hello from Ireland. Visited Athens doing volunteer work for 3 weeks, load of memories haha.
I agree with his crustless take but when someone says flavorless chips are best I just imagine them only eating the crust of a pizza and throwing the rest away.
It took me awhile to figure out what was upsetting about this video as an American. I realized its because they picked snacks that are "available" in America but not what Americans snack on. Like I don't know a single person who actually eats twinkies. Or anyone who regularly eats any of these
Occasionally the vending machine at work has twinkled but I will avoid them until they are the last thing there. Also 27 years of life and I've never once heard of Rap Snacks, big hint if they use celebrities of musicians to sell a snack it's going to be absurdly shit as far as snacks go.
@@TheGamingBDGR Rap Snacks are pretty much at any gas station beside the rest of the chips. Maybe it’s more of a southern thing but they’ve been around for about a decade now
That is because they are trying the WORST American snacks, not the BEST American snacks or snacks an AVERAGE American would eat. Seeing that Meilyne bought half of the snacks, she must have picked what of her friends hates, even though she love some of them. I never tried most of the snacks shown here and some of them I did try, they are either terrible or below average but still enjoyable.
I’d be will to bet that the reason they’ve started doing so many TT After Dark episodes is because Mudan threatened to quit if they didn’t give him more work
The fact they microwaved the Pop Tarts hurts me. Edit: After watching the full thing, that really was the worst selection of American snacks, aside from Pop Tarts and Gushers.
pop tarts were always more of a quick breakfast, never really had them as "snacks". On that note though Takis and gushers were the only good ones, and even then i dont eat gushers often cus they are sweet as fuck.
Are they normally made in a toaster? Cuz the few times I've had pop tarts I microwaved them as well, bc I also don't have a toaster. Tasted better that way than eating it at room temp straight from the package. To me it looks like the glaze might melt inside the toaster and make a mess, but I honestly don't know.
@@LeiranNZ Yeah , they are that shape and size just so they can fit comfortably in most toasters. Most people either eat them from a toaster, or cold from a fridge. Depending on the flavor it can taste better hot or cold.
To answer the question on why universities in the US are typically 4 years sometimes 5 for a bachelors is because you have to learn a bunch of useless garbage that has no relevance to your major
I've seen some uni systems where 1/3rd of your credit hours might not even be related to your major. That's almost 40 credit hours of your degree and assuming 120 to graduate your talking about 3-4 semesters
I live in Louisiana and we never had those. The most popular thing I seen eaten from elementary to high school was hot Cheetos, hot Cheetos fries, and takis.
I absolutely loved Joey and Garnt in this episode! Just so precious to see how the Mac and Cheese Cheetos completely crashed all of them. Connor was absolutely CHAOTIC during this episode 😂😂😂 I love this please do more! Do Mexican Snacks! They’re the best!!! Plus they have a ton of options! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ultimate respect for Joey (and Aki) for basically being willing to try everything once. This is at least the 5th time I've seen Joey just put on his big boy pants and eat something I would NEVER EVEN CONSIDER eating.
What even in there is that bad? They're all pretty basic. I guess the twinkie is pretty harsh if you're not american with the sheer amount of sugar the damn thing has.
@@nix10kodeey I’ve had it before, it’s just that fake cheap food product flavor you get from stuff like easy Mac with so much red dye you’ll be pooping green lol.
Among other things. Next Trash Taste Special: The boys take a full two-year culinary arts program with electives in nutrition and exercise science before we hear any more hot takes about food, *please*.
Garnt: Candy isn't supposed to be hard! Hard candy: Bro, I'm literally right here. It had to be pure satire that they were hitting a sucker against the table and wondering why it was hard.
To be fair to garnt, you can make wine out of other fruits than grapes. My family loves to make blackberry, peach, and even watermelon wine. Quite good
Don't they have specific names for other fruit-based alcoholic drinks? For example, making a drink out of honey and fruits would be called "mead," by default isn't wine made with grapes.
I feel so called out. American food is indeed mostly preservatives and sugar. Recently, I found myself cutting out food with preservatives and sugar, as a result, I lost a significant amount of weight. Before this time I never really thought about the sugar content or the chemicals in the food I was eating. I feel happier and healthier, less generally sick. I believe many Americans -like me- grow up this way and are this way. It's way we have an obesity crisis, that's been ongoing for some time. We don't really think about what we put in our bodies. Its quick and efficient to eat something pre-made and full of chemicals then it is to make fresh meals. It also doesn't help that most of these products (i.e poptarts, sugary cereals, etc) are all marketed towards children increasing the likelihood of childhood obesity in America. These products are also relatively cheap in comparison to 'healthy' products of a similar variety. In America it is considered by many lower income people that eating healthy is a luxury as something unhealthy inexpensive. Many lower income people eat mostly carbs, and sugar which is very cheap compared to meat and fresh produce. Also fun fact, anything unhealthy has a luxury tax on them (From soda to fast food).
@@rodolfo7077 Crumpets and jam with tea in the mornings is fire and no one will never change my mind. I stayed in London for a week once and that’s all I had for breakfast except for one time when I had scones. American breakfast is too heavy which is the exact opposite of what I want in the morning. Pancakes and waffles are overrated asf
In case you were wondering, 'raisins' and 'prunes' are just 'grapes' and 'plums' in french. Not sure why the french names stuck for dried fruits, but that's where it's from.
In America (maybe California specifically) the only brand of raisins I know is sun-maid, and the art on the box shows grapes. Pretty much gives you all the clues you need.
As someone who works at walmart, we all questioned the existence of the cheetos mac and cheese. We though it was only going to last for a month or two. But here we are,, almost two years in and it's still selling. I tried it out of curiosity and it wasn't that bad. Not good enough to keep buying it, though.
I went over to a girls house for Netflix and chill went into her kitchen only quick thing she had was that so she made it for me and I remember distinctly the smell convinced me to not take a bite thank God I can only imagine how it would've tasted
Did they add the cheese powder before heating it or something? I can't imagine it actually being this bad if made correctly. But hey, maybe so. Doesn't sound like the best combination anyway.
'my god, ten grams of carbs in these takis?!" i know, right. it's almost as if you're eating tortilla chips, which are made out of carbs. crazy, right?
Connor and Joey saying there's no difference in taste between chicken thigh and breast... I let it slide. But the moment they said that salt "sucks", that's when they officially revoked whatever rights to criticize on any food items. Humans need salt, whether we realize it or not. Salt tastes "good" to us because it's the body telling us that we NEED it, insofar that multiple wars were fought over salt; there is nothing subjective about it. Connor and Joey truly have trash taste.....
@@ls200076 go read up about how humans need salt to survive and then we can both laugh at your actual funny reply. Or better yet, don't reply out of shame.
Garnt: "Who here should be studying for an exam right now but is watching Trash Taste After Dark?" I literally have orgo chem notes open in another tab right now. The exam is tomorrow. I will die.
I feel like their interpretation of what people actually get in America as snacks is from 90s road trip movies. I've never met anyone who intentionally got Twinkies.
Garnt's totally on the right. You can put a lot of seasoning in a food, lots of umami and all that stuff, but if you forgot the salt, it literally tastes like nothing.
dont get me wrong though but plain salted chips or crackers arent good, i side with joey and connor not saying its bad per se but like its average and if theres better options available i would take that instead. Plain salted stuff is like food you pack on a voyage or some shit, basically rations. Idky Garnt was acting like it was the best dish of all time.
Yup. Put a 100 seasoning on a dish and it won't be right unless you put salt in it. The only alternative for salt is soy sauce or fish sauce because they are as salty. Any other spice or seasoning is essentially useless without salt.
I, as an american, physically recoiled in horror when Joey said, "Meilyne said we are supposed to have the chicken in a bisket with the cheese." Meilyne. Get some help.
@@beyondsalami On crackers, sure, but usually Ritz crackers or the butter flavored variety of those crackers (EDIT: Club Crackers, that's what they're called), not chicken flavored ones. You do you, though.
I recoiled when they said they were gonna have Chicken in a brisket at all, it’s one of the most disgusting crackers out there alongside Chex-mix chips
Being an American listening to them trying to figure out how to describe honey bbq is so funny bc it's so popular here like right after buffalo I'd say
Where does Buffalo stand in popularity?? Cuz I feel like there are definitely ones above Buffalo. Ketchup, bbq, mustard, Mayo, ranch, honey mustard. Personally I don’t like some of these but they’re pretty commonplace in the US (not to say honey bbq and Buffalo aren’t, just wondering how high up Buffalo supposedly is for you)
@@Crandon-de1st well my brain went to wings when they said honey bbq so I was thinking buffalo was #1 but yes as far as general condiments buffalo isnt very far up as far as I know
Also, Rice Crispy Treats were invented in America in the 1930's I can't speak for the store sold ones in terms of taste, my mother always made it from scratch, I'd just take it to school in my lunches wrapped in clear wrap.
"12% of it was cholesterol" No. That's not what the label means. It's 12% of the total cholesterol you should consume in a day (assuming your dietary needs match the standard assumed by labeling requirements)
