BLIND TASTE TEST! Christine Ha tries Japanese snacks with Tommy Edison

[@TommyEdisonXP]

Thanks for having me on, Christine!

[@theblindcook]

+The Tommy Edison Experience it was fun. Gotta do more

[@Ephiize]

both of you should cook together!

[@dividedamerica387]

It was great fun to watch!

[@jaimeduavit8558]

The Tommy Edison Experience I know this might sound insensitive, and I don't doubt that you're blind, but how do you type comments on videos, or who types them for you?

[@Ephiize]

Tommy use Siri

[@therealoneeighth]

"Oh you got to hold it up for the camera" *Tommy holds it up backwards.* *Jump Cut* *Tommy is now holding it the right way* I am dying. I could watch these two everyday together. They should co-host a show.

[@aurorasparks1985]

That was my favorite part lmao ( 4:05 )

[@Kinespojken]

"Let me see... eeh.. let me try"

[@Yourfacejkjk]

"OH DO I GO FIRST" "I'M EATING ALREADY" -blind people eating together. Srsly tho I love you both lol

[@Simkiim]

Oh, I have never realized that the difference between person who was born blind and who became blind later in life is that huge. Just the body language and stuff. How she "looks up" when she thinks about a taste or how they hold a glass. But, amazing shows you both have, guys.

[@tacticalchunder1207]

KimmyL yeah, it’s very interesting. She still looks towards people when listening to them and what not, because that’s just what we do. Tommy just sits there because he’s never experienced any of that stuff.

[@arnolddeshay9353]

They have a video together on Tommy’s channel discussing the very differences they have between being born (Tommy) and becoming blind (Christine).

[@dicio4001]

Wait the girl is blind?! :D I legit thought she wasn't. When she mentioned "I wonder what color this drink is" my first thought was "Is she colorblind?" :D .

[@tomtomson648]

@@dicio4001 well and she isnt 100% blind she once told she is about 99% blind she can still see very little like some rough shapes. She said its like when you look into a mirror after taking a long hot shower.

[@alexsaquatics7620]

She looks his way when she talks and uses her eyes more were as he dosnt because she used hers and he never has

[@Mooseplatoon]

I love that both Tommy and Christine try to hand the bags to each other without saying anything, presumably because they're both used to being around sighted people. It's those little details that make watching stuff like this fascinating; you really get to appreciate little slices of life you rarely think about.

[@theblindcook]

+AMaliciousMoose good observation

[@IMortage]

"I am very American when it comes to my eating." Then 2 minutes later: "Anything from the pig makes me gag. ... No bacon, no sausage, no roast pork, nothing." Choose one or the other, Tommy.

[@mOmerRavid]

IMortage They said he doesn't like cheese either 😂

[@victoria4]

i think he just meant he doesnt eat food that are too foriegn. mainly just stuff youd see the average white american person eating in their home?

[@cathy2142]

or any pasta because it feels funny in his hands. To each his own!

[@blancoboyloko7778]

IMortage but American food has way more than pig product

[@phillysub5115]

it's a shame that Tommy can't be perfect like you

[@TheThundercool]

Tommy: I would eat that again Christine: See, I think if I were 9 years old I would eat that again... No, I mean, no offense Tommy: How dare you! This cracked me up

[@VirgoLunaKnight]

lol

[@wellingtonsmith4998]

such fun, laughed out loud many times. I'm gonna binge watch both of them next week

[@noahdicarlo8494]

[@jacquelinesmith-jackson2815]

Wellington Smith Yes yes you are a genius!!! 💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️ ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜 This comment cracked me up so hard.... I was always wandering if Tommy and Christine have tried Lobster or Octopus or maybe Shark. To be honest I hate Octopus though. My step dad was dared to try it and honestly it will mess up your senses. They asked me if I wanted to try it and it did mess up my senses.

[@jacquelinesmith-jackson2815]

Wellington Smith Yes if you do not clean the Octopus it will mess up your senses. Have you ever smelled crack and cocaine?? They are the worst smells in the fucking world. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 In Springfield Missouri there was a domestic assault on my neighborhood against my step dad and our neighbors at the time......... I didn't realize this before but when I was 13 and 14 years old, I smelled something that was putrid as hell. Now I am disabled and I was born at 24 weeks early. I didn't know what the smell was at the time. It was Crack and fucking Cocaine. I actually was puking for 2 or 3 years because of those drugs. I am Visually Impaired and when someone has Vision Impairments there are therapists that will teach you how to use your other senses to detect different things. I was puking for 2 or 3 years.

[@b3trainingkc601]

Life is hard for most people. Tommy is such a beast he does it with his eyes closed.

[@jonnamaestro]

Gotta love how they both say «let me see» when theyr checking something out.

[@twiztedmind864]

I saw Tommy's video, and you said you might be scared to see how you might look older since you have lost your vision. I just want to say, I thought you were actually way younger than you are. So, don't worry.

[@akyzee6016]

i love your comment but im not trynna be mean but hes blined so he cant see this

[@poptacular6625]

I find it so amusing when you two use phrases like, "Let me see," or "Look at that!". Haha!

[@JoseGonzalez-su2sy]

Love how he always says "listen". So simple but obviously an ability he is miles ahead than every non-blind person

[@iam.danielnguyen]

Tommy has an awesome personality/sense of humor; definitely the type of person anyone would want as a friend, or have for good company.

[@oralom]

I lived in Japan for 4 years. Hi-Chews are one of my favorites. It reminds me of Laffy Taffy.

[@CandleAshes]

I love Hi-Chew

[@Bananastroodle]

You can actually buy them in the states, at least where I live. They're so good

[@covertyankee]

Hi-Chew is made in the USA

[@mrfarina1474]

it reminds me of starbursts

[@CutieRingoJoy]

i don’t live in japan but in singapore we have hi chew and used to eat that before and after school

[@eurostepperz]

I just realised you were on MasterChef ! I remember watching the part with Gordon Ramsey were he was talking about the amazing pie you made :)

[@monicas2461]

NI:CK My favorite moment too!

[@coolboy2153]

John Smith of course she does, she knows what a smiley face is. She’s only mostly blind, and she’s not stupid

[@Yewtewba]

Dashiec I'm sure it was a question about what exactly the text to speech software reads.

[@charmolettafranquestafiestayam]

@@Yewtewba Fyi anyone reading this it will usually recognize a smiley face and say Smile face, or tongue sticking out smile, etc.

[@thedarthvader2061]

She wasn't ON MasterChef.. She WON MasterChef.

[@isiahkane1389]

This is so cute. I fell in love with Christine on Masterchef. She has such a beautiful, bubbly personality. I almost always forget that she's blind until she actually has to look for something. I love people that live life to the fullest, regardless of their mental or physical handicaps. Kudos to the both of them!

[@loukieprinsloo3530]

I totally love this womans voice and laugh! Recently blind dude here, voices and laughs matter tto me.

[@User-gs1dk]

I haven't tried to smell a bag of Hi-Chew before but I found it interesting how quickly Tommy recognized a fruit smell even though he was smelling the bag filled of still individually wrapped candies. I just tried smelling a similar bag of individual wrapped candies and couldn't smell a damn thing haha.

[@xxka0tikkxx]

Well when one sense goes the others are a bit amped to compensate. You ever turned down the music when trying to find someones house or something like that while in a car? It seems like "why would I turn down music to help me see?" But it has basis in practice. Try it next time maybe. Close your eyes and actually focus on smelling something. Without the extra input from other senses the one you focus on is a bit more enhanced. In Tommy's case his whole life and ability to survive has been dependent on his scent, sound, and touch so hes developed those senses more

[@SamuelLiebermann]

When he handed her the hi-chew, he expected her to pick it up, forgetting she's blind too. After few seconds he remembered and said "here you go" and she reached to the bag. Fascinating!

[@bansku2121]

If I could see her talking to somebody I would definitely think she sees! She looks at the bags when she's opening them and she looks at Tommy when she talks to him.

[@I_was_a_Bullfrog]

In another video she said that she can see a little bit, she likely sees blurred shapes/shadowy blobs

[@StonedtotheBones13]

Yeah, sorry to comment on old old comment, but it's just interesting to me how Christine looks AT Tommy when he speaks, but when looking at someone farther away, her eyes seem a bit less focused

[@cathy2142]

oh my when she said i am guessing it is dried squid and tommy's face went pale and he looked ill. . . .sorry tommy but cracked me up!! you guys collab so well together! I think you both seem so nice and I appreciate how cheery and happy you both are!

[@Baleur]

10:00 "look at that he says, like he can see it" *snyde comment* HAHA She's hilarious, i love it. I also love how he always uses those words, "oh i never saw that before, its nice to see that for the first time" and the alltime classic "oh cool, so thats what these look like". God i love him.

[@theresakistemaker9191]

Will you have a mail box where Subscribers can send foods from their countries?? I would love to send you snacks to try from Switzerland! Amazing video 💕

How do y’all have such great chemistry on camera. You two need to do more videos tomorrow, would love them!

[@Magerquark]

She has a very lovely laugh

[@emilyseye9483]

I'm a Tommy fan. You really should do that making cocktails video with Tommy! I'd watch that

[@amyhull754]

What a fun, cheerful interaction. It was delightful to watch you two laughing together and taking guesses and enjoying sharing. Thank you!

[@theblindcook]

+Amy Hull 👍🏼

[@kim-jong-un8096]

I love how Tommy was talking about beer and vodka through the whole video LOL

[@PuffyRainbowCloud]

Oh ya Tommy knows how to have a good time.

[@Supersonic]

10:03 was so good lol. i love now they both lead their lives with humor rather than pitty like many others do.

[@benmstewie]

I like how both of them hold the bag of snacks open for each other like when you are sharing with someone else, but they couldn't see it haha. Love this video and I hope you guys do more content together!

[@williamvandergrift9741]

Oh my god both of you seem so wholesome

[@kentokyo]

I'm amazed and respect you guys try unfamiliar foods as foreign culture.

[@TheNeoMosala]

I'm about 3 years late but this video made my day. Best Japanese snack review.

[@alexheldrich4898]

It's really interesting to see how the communicate typically visual things with each other like when they're handing each other the bags

[@makattak88]

I just discovered your channel, Christine! Thanks to Tommy. I am a big fan and always have been!

[@theblindcook]

Welcome

[@SweetMsAdventure]

This was great! Please do make a Cocktail episode with Tommy. I have no doubt it would be entertaining! You're both awesome. I just subscribed to you both today. I'm looking forward to watching more of your content, Christine. Cheers!

[@theblindcook]

+Alex M Thanks!

[@joshthedisneydad]

If I am ever having a bad day, a video with either of these two can turn it right around. You are both such pleasant and joyful personalities I just love it!

[@jirimalota6118]

Christine: healthy fruit flavor. Automatic subtitles:happy root flavor.

[@mirjanbouma]

The subtitles are very bad.

[@mysteriouslabyrinth3504]

Loving both of your channels,thanks.

[@pgplaysvidya]

I just found out about Christine from season 3 of master chef. And after a few days I thought about Tommy Edison! I'm so glad the two of you collaborated on this video

[@eddebrock]

1:09 I literally went "What is she, blind?" ...then my brain kicked in.

[@superyeah4ever2]

lol

[@alexsaquatics7620]

It happens

[@aleashacasarez855]

Haha her mannerisms are perfect. You can't tell until something like that happens

[@failtolawl]

OK something incredibly really neat and fairly comedic when you have two blind people interacting with items with each other. It's literally watching two blindfolded people do things incredibly well because that's their life.

[@ciaran3884]

"Let me see" I died inside... Oh Tommy said it as well, why? I die every time they say "let's see".

[@theblindcook]

+Ciaran habit 😝

[@TheStuport]

So much fun watching this......only thing missing was the rest of us sitting there actually sampling the products...LOL...Cheers!!

[@madtingz2288]

It was so sweet seeing you guys interact, this video made me hungry lol!

[@HKBoba]

you guys are both such happy people. i had a great time watching. thanks for doing the collab! brightened up my day :)

[@akilan354]

Caramel crisps?! Sweet potato and caramel, weird combo into a chip! But anyone would wanna taste that if they are watching this video at midnight and if they didnt have a satisfying dinner !

[@monicas2461]

Akilan There’s a maple syrup flavored one too! I had to buy buy Pokari after watching this video!

[@LeShaiyan]

so obvious that they arent used to being in a room with another blind person :D they seem so happy together tho, i bet they will be the best friends :D

[@theblindcook]

+Maiken Pehrson such an interesting observation

[@monicas2461]

I didn’t realize it. I will rewatch the video with that in mind 😊

[@keithshwalbe6981]

Utterly delightful Christine. . and a fun selection you bought John. . Made me smile. The fun you have with this is infectious X

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

This is really cool! I saw you on Tommy's channel & I've now subscribed to you. You're fun.

[@theblindcook]

+SuperMissblueeyes awesome Thanks

[@Adrianirl]

Love Tommy’s and Christine’s vibes in this so much! Your smile is gorgeous Christine!

[@TheLonelyLuneon]

I love all the sight puns you two made!

[@Zelda00Gamer]

I just came from Tommys channel and I'm a Japanese major so when I heard this was the taste test I was excited!

[@mikewright7964]

Tommys positivity and laugh makes me smile. And you Christine is so cute. Together you are really cute. You should do more videos like these.

[@DM-ig1fb]

AAAHHHHHHHH Love you guys!!!! This is awesome! more collabs please :)

[@adankseasonads935]

Great collaboration guys! You two should do more if ever possible.

[@puttputt524]

Huh, I think it’s extremely interesting how they hand things to each other.

[@dswxyz2]

Something you ought to know about Japanese snacks is that quite often there's a tiny notch down on one side of the packaging. You can easily open a package by ripping it open starting at the notch. No scissors required!

[@monicas2461]

David Welbourn I thought about it too! But maybe they wanted the package to still look good after they opened it. I use scissors with resealable bags because my tear opening game is not good.

[@SimonTimbers]

The first package looked so easy to open!

[@allisongreenlee6862]

I tried the squid strips in my cultural anthropology class for the first time and I LOVED it!

[@therealoneeighth]

Christine is pretty awesome. Great smile and laugh, also very beautiful. Funny video.

[@art_ill_chris6117]

I love both of you channels! And being stationed in Okinawa for 3 years I learned that pocari sweat, Aquarius, and hi chews are game changers haha Keep up the fun content!!

[@hangugeohaksaeng]

You two are great tv together. Thanks for a fun video.

[@shannondavidson683]

I don't know if it's just me and I realize this video isn't new however, I still wanted to provide my feedback; wherein the music playing I the background made it really difficult for me to hear your voices. The music and then noises from the food bags was almost too much. Please consider no background music while you're talking in the future. It is difficult for some of us that have issues hearing.

[@jezruby2]

You guys have an amazing energy. Thank you for the videos.

[@SqueamishNerd]

I feel like they're not used to meeting other blind people, because both of them try to give the packages over to the other person, waits a little while, then they realise that they have to say that they're handing over the package.

[@Sleepinstein]

This is awesome! Both of you guys have great channels! Thank you!!

[@hiimnick2358]

I love this collaboration! The both of you make a great duo! I'd love to see more collaborations?

[@xzonia1]

I don't like any pork products either, and I think this is the first time I've heard someone else who eats meat say they don't like pork! X) This was so much fun to watch!! Thanks Christine and Tommy! :D

[@AnomieTrain]

I was introduced to Pocari Sweat from watching Taiwanese dramas. It's basically a sports drink like Gatorade. It's okay--I do taste the grapefruit flavor. It's similar to Fresca I think.

[@moonpixie3634]

when i watch these blind people (which already sounds ridicolous) i ask myself if they are the better humans. they are, despite their handicap, so full of positiveness, its simply amazing. i already wrote this under one of tommys videos, but this type of content is really mindblowing in a philosophical way and i think it expands my conciousnes.

[@damonfacio249]

You two are my new favorite thing please make your own show

[@3DJapan]

I'm a big fan of Pocari Sweat. To me it tastes like watered down green grape juice. It's a sports drink and it's stopped to replace what you lose when you sweat. I actually just spent a couple weeks in Japan and I saw it everywhere. Almost every vending machine had it.

[@monicas2461]

Phil Nolan I love Pocari Sweat too! The manufacturer Otsuka Seiyaku is a huge pharmaceutical company. My friend who worked at a hospital said drinking it is equivalent to hitting a high brand drip. I like to believe it and use it as an excuse to drink Pocari every time I feel a little bit ill.

[@PhillyB1]

These two together are very charming. I really enjoyed the video. You get two thumbs up!

[@Dragonking3787]

Pocari Sweat... Makes me think that it's from big fat Japanese guy named Pocari, and they captured his sweat in a bottle.

[@Pingaheimer]

lmao

[@monkeyboyjonathan42]

The name does itself no favors for English speakers. That is what I imagine too. But it's actually pretty good, although I prefer Aquarius myself, the other big sports drink company in Japan.

[@CaskStrength777]
