I Tested More Insane Tiktoks - Sprite Ramen, Mozzarella Donuts, Salmon Sliders, Crispy Potatoes

[@vn0ir]

Your mum leaving you Valentine’s Day chocolates is the most wholesome thing. Look after that lady!

[@cheer90099]

The Sprite working in the ramen makes a lot of sense actually, it's essentially just citrus-y sugar water, seems like a neat idea

[@manaspradhan8041]

I don't imagine there would be much carbonation either considering it coming in contact with the hot oil?

[@CatsPajamas23]

True. Down south there's a popular fruit and ramen salad, and a sweet spicy ramen slaw that are both pretty good.

[@painting]

You just described sprite

[@ayoayo1044]

It works just like how coke cola chicken works

[@naazbutool6553]

The cheese donut definitely gives me your early channel tasty vibes, so nostalgic 😅

[@naazbutool6553]

Omg thanks for the heart!

[@Oonagh72]

To make the potato less greasy just fry at a higher temp. They are already cooked. You are basically just making them crispy.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

"I went skiing, had a couple drinks, tried to hit a jump, partially tore my MCL" ...and that's why the only times I ever go skiing is on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. I'd much rather do snowtubing

[@itsdonuttime7729]

or just sledding

[@Kaylee_eeee]

Not to unlock a new fear but I went tubing last year after it melted a little and froze back up and I went up the other side, through the fence, and tumbled ass over teakettle down the side tubers shouldn’t be. It hurt to raise my left arm for 2 months. Oof.

[@CatsPajamas23]

The first time I went skiing, I got a little ahead of myself and skill level, and was heading straight down one of the higher hills straight to the bottom at breakneck speed, so I skied into the waist-high barricade rope at the bottom, thinking I'd ski into it, and it would stop me. I skied into the rope, flipped around it like a gyroscope, feet it the air and smacked my head on the ice, face down. After being medically cleared, had to spend the rest of the night drinking cocoa in the lodge.🙄

[@babybookworm003]

My hand eye coordination and balance sucks so I’ve never been allowed to go down hill skiing

[@ItsJustLisa]

@@Kaylee_eeee, ouch! That sounds painful.

[@ashipper8223]

There is a Korean dish called watermelon cold noodles (수박 냉면) that uses Sprite in the sauce. It is so delicious and sweet and spicy. Sprite seems like a good ingredient used in moderation.

[@tristanvandervelde3569]

For those trying to find a recipe: in Latin script, it's "subak naengmyeon"

[@omimiazu]

that sounds really yummy! thanks for sharing! ❤

[@lina-mi4yl]

sprite ramen was all the craze in China last summer! It's really just a take on other Chinese sauced noodles, with Sprite instead of sugar to offset the savory flavors.

[@Silentgrace11]

Just for fun discussion point, the reason you don’t see fried salmon all that often in this manner is because it already has a lot of natural fat to render out, and if you’re not careful it can become a bit greasy

[@kshahrerawr]

it's been a while since i last watched a video of yours and.. woah???? the blue hair was shocking 😭 it strangely suits you. like, a lot.

[@smay745]

Love the blue. Excellent choice!

[@alliestanfield-paramore7250]

This is the comment I was looking for 😂

[@brianfranson9432]

Fun tip: I use a potato ricer that has holes all the way around (not just on the bottom) and never peel my potatoes or use a slit. The skin ends up on the inside and I just clean it out with the back of a knife every few potatoes.

[@anthonywhite9178]

that cafeteria joke hit hard. I never got a chance to try my HS's Chinese chicken (and all the upper class kids raved about it)

[@IceQueen975]

ngl, those salmon sliders look SO good. Daym.

[@lindagarcia2486]

Love the blue!!! 😯

[@miab9304]

I would LOVE to see you compare cinnamon roll recipes! Like ones from Tasty, Bon Apetit, Joshua Weismann (which are apparently better than cinnabon)

[@maetaylor5677]

i love the rambling the stories, so entertaining.

I feel that David looks particularly like an anime protagonist on this video.

He could be L from deathnote with the blue hair

Only a matter of time until someone tries to make a giant potato pillow to sleep on... I can definitely see Vat19 doing that

[@captocie]

why does your content feel so good on my brain 😩💕 literally whenever im burnt out i come watch you and it's like a spa for my brain, i love you 🙏💕💕💕

[@TheBookDoctor]

Adding a bit of water (or milk, or cream...) to that potato mixture would probably have helped it form better and would have helped it fry up less greasy since steam escaping from fried food is what keeps oil from infiltrating the food. If the potato nuggets were too dry, there wouldn't be enough steam to keep the oil out.

[@bettyb1313]

Mini doughnut mold would be good

[@emileewest4441]

Have you ever thought about making your own version of gourmet makes? Claire's tater tot video was recommended to me after watching this, and it makes me want to see you do something similar to what Claire did!

[@thaliafaudith9387]

He already did, quite a long time ago

[@socks8799]

the blue hair looks great!

[@aymonnaqvi314]

Don't know when the blue hair debuted but it looks gorgeous David!!!✨

[@TheMenace643]

Knee injuries are no joke, better to get it checked out now than to have to deal with it when you're old

THE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙

[@sharasahara]

Omg hi david Love the hair

[@GhostOfNevermore]

You should do the chili cinnamon roll!

[@jenniferlynn3537]

Yep, Kennedy killed it! Your hair looks great!

[@Caiatl]

can i jus say that i am absolutely in love with the hair lol

[@numero480]

Watching you try them is enough. Thanks

[@shamikatapasvi8345]

David after taking a bite of the mozzarella donuts : i can feel my chest closing *proceeds to take another bite*

[@QuestionTuesdayFTW]

David you literally physically hurt yourself, missing a week of video is the least of your concerns, hopefully you're healing alright

[@rhylaa]

never in my life thought i would see josh in any of these videos, incredible

[@vcka]

i remember when the challenge of your videos was your cooking proficiency. you're great now lol, wtf?! am I old?

[@tootoo2254]

Your level of sarcasm is why I keep watching your videos

[@MrTheBigNoze]

Interesting. I’ve never thought salmon could be good fried… I usually only think of white fish as good for frying

[@Avrysatos]

That’s actually a good price for a knife for a change. Good on your sponsor.

[@deeeeniiiiss]

love how tiktok recipes are 99% of the time, things everyone knows about, just in a different form, wow instead of a mozzarella stick it's in the shape of a donut, so insane, or wow how amazing, you made mashed potatoes and fried it in oil, totally not just a square french fry with extra steps

[@CoyreBae]

Shout out Kennedy! Your hair looks really good. And so does the salmon sliders and the ramen and the Cheeto mozzarella donuts lol… I’m hungry 🤤 … and the crispy potatoes look really good too I’m def gonna try making them.

[@goodfoodandtoursjamaica]

Finally another episode!!

[@smilealwaysnatasha3423]

[@MaDTeeN]

I am happy that you have sponsors, wish you have many more...love you and your channel

i love mrs. shi and mr. he!

[@krogers5682]

The sprite into the Ramen would just add acidity and some sweetness which theoretically should balance the salt and heat.

[@nickpels5772]

The sprite ramen kind of makes sense. I’d rather just add lemon, lime and sugar, but you gotta get those views!

[@DIABStudios]

Hair looks good man! Good even color spread with saturation in tasteful spots. Shoutout to Kennedy fo sure!

[@jannahjayy]

the potato bites are surprisingly good for a tiktok snack

[@Ladylike79]

There’s salmon cakes which can be baked or fried. My mom prefers to fry them and they’re delicious!

[@elenpena42564]

The blue hair does looks fantastic on him tho

[@LydiAtheistLady]

Peaking of ways to use salmon, one of the best things I’ve ever made were Salmon croquettes.

[@gamefire74]

David's dimples are so cute

[@adrianzapata8068]

I wonder if you air fried the donut would the crust keep the Cheeto flavor?

[@OJorEm]

Adding sprite to your cold noodles is really the same as adding some sugar to elevate the flavours of the dish, not a big surprise that it tastes good

[@NexusBecauseWhyNot]

I wasn't wearing my glasses, so when ya pulled the medicametation before eating the doughnuts I thought you ate a silica bag xD

[@ezjaz5305]

Omg I was in 7th grade when the changes to the cafeteria system came through. We used to have slushie machines, in-house cooked pizzas, and so much more good in school cooked foods. Sadly, after the change most of our stuff went to super processed foods that followed health guidelines. Even now without the guidelines set in place, my younger cousin's currently attending the same school say that the quality hasn't comeback since. Kinda sad but thanks for the blast from the past😂

[@Mowgi]

That cheese won't give you a heart attack but the deep frying might Lol

[@tamatinicholas8551]

"because this isn't a Joshua Weissman video" 😂😂😂

[@sierraparaham4454]

Loving the blue hair David!

[@sonicfreak04]

I would blend the mozzarella with provalone to provide more flavor and stretchiness

[@izxwav]

spotted 0:13 fox stevenson's out of my head lmao

[@IntrospectiveChinchilla]

That salmon sandwich recipe is going to rune my diet

[@johnnytsunami420]

I think the issue with the bubble potatoes in this vid was that there probably was not enough potato. From the vids I've seen people making it, their doughs looked a lot more pliable and hydrated than David's dough here. That's why I'm an advocate for using dehydrated potato flakes for whenever a recipe calls for mushed potatoes. Very easy to control moisture level that way. If peeps aren't familiar with working with rice and just non-wheat starches in general, they take a little bit more time to allow moisture to absorb so it's also possible that David could have let the dough rest for a bit before forming and it would have achieved the right texture.

[@askmiller]

Glad you are able to recover from the knee injury. You hear about them happening to sports players all the time and them having relatively quick recovery and getting back to 100%, but then when you hear of it happening to ordinary people, you realize that it's not as easy when you're not literally in peak physical shape and have the best doctors in the world.

[@c0ppersulfate]

ok but I LOOOOVE YOUR HAIRRRRR 💙

[@inesbauer3360]

We missed you!!!

[@lexo420]

[@madmudd96]

Air fryer salmon is where it’s at!

[@kaniyaru117]

Just put cheese dust on mozzarella sticks lol With the size of those doughnuts I'd be concerned if someone finished more than one... it's just a literal block of cheese, deep fried!

[@pyroultima]

Hey David, if you're super lactose intolerant like me, I'd suggest a product called Lacteeze. They're these little lactase enzyme pills that help your body process lactose. I can get them here in Australia and I don't know how you'd go in the US, but the bottle says they're manufactured in Canada, so you never know.

[@emilydouglas5671]

There are lactaid pills here in the US.

[@Mowgi]

I've tried them. I love milk but fk me if it doesn't make me toot like a train and poop like a dog. They don't work for me 😭 maybe a little less flatulence, but overall nothing. Plus he already used lactaid in the video

[@auntlynnie]

That’s what he held up to the camera at 12:30. The brand here is “Lactaid,” like Emily said.

[@chuchuchuchia]

Carbonation in food sounds fire tbh

[@madstupid2589]

The dude that made the cheese cheeto fried donut thingy actually makes some food that looks hella fucking good

[@FoxTenson]

I use cheetos in my heart attack chicken/pork rolls recipe I came up with and I found the best way to retain flavor is to put the crushed chips between paper towels on top of a plate, then put another plate with some weight on top of that. Getting all that grease out before using them helps a ton. I also never fry as it loses the flavor, I bake or air fry. I should really try to get my recipe up somewhere I'm sure folks would think its one of the strange sorts like these but its really good. Fritos, cheetos, and funjuns together make a very tasty breading and you can even change the type of fritos to change the flavor! Chilli cheese is great! Fritos and funjuns also hold flavor well.

[@zitronentee2302]

my vote goes to the pillow potatos ! - will edit afterwards now afterwards i am glad the potatos where a hit and actually easy to do :) and my guess is if you season some panko breadcrumbs and dont make the donuts so thicc it could have potential to be really good instead of "yeah its cheese"

[@pokeflora]

My grandmother always has sprite and root beer in her fridge because she uses them in her cooking. I am not surprised others use soda in their recipes it’s very creative tbh.

[@veilsidevauss]

You keep it real otl for no reason.....and I fuck with that. Keep it going!

[@jenniferwellman5311]

Try rolling the potatoes 🥔 in corn starch. Really helps.

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

Dave what is that on your cutting board that the salmon is sitting on? 6:11

[@Brooksie603]

Not sure why, but the low sodium soy sauce tastes better to me than the regular one. I had it at a local restaurant one day because it was at the table and the regular one wasn't available. I was surprised that I preferred the taste of it compared to the regular one.
