Food Theory: What chocolate takes the longest to melt? I want a chocolate bar or candy that I won't need to worry about melting, and I want the best option possible. Perhaps a specific method would make it last longer like freezing beforehand or putting the chocolates in some sort of concoction? I know you're the guy for the job MatPat, make me proud.

Honestly, as a male, the Doritos idea of making a version that is less crunchy and powdery sounds good to me. It should have been be marketed as a “stealth” version or even a “theatre edition”. Easier to eat at the movies, or for office workers to eat chips at their desk at work, or for students at the library or the back of the classroom haha. It’s a shame they had to take the “female version” route for that idea. Males can appreciate clean and quiet chips too.

[@jentryiguess]

I thought the “female edition” was disgusting cause we can be gross too and gives in the stereotype that women are always proper. I love your ideas of renaming it! If they were to exist as “female edition,” I bet they will be more expensive as regular Doritos because woman’s tax lol

[@justagiantnerd8001]

As a man I would love a less messy chip. I hate getting stuff on my fingers

[@AustinJASMR]

I was thinking that exact thing! Especially with the reduced powder part, since I don't want to have to wash my hands every time I eat chips just to make sure I can touch my phone without screwing with the screen.

[@wintertigerdraws]

See if the female and male chips had actually been a thing, I would just not be allowed to eat doritos I guess. Totally Unfair lmao /sarc

[@jadanshaffer3107]

I'm really curious if the shape of the chip is a factor in crunch volume, like crinkly Ruffles or rolled-up Takis. There's a chip brand I used to eat a lot called Sensible Portions, which had a very delicious veggie chip that was both zig-zaggy and slightly bowl-shaped, and it had a pretty good crunch for being a relatively soft chip.

[@ikarenn8460]

I would have loved to see yall try salted banana chips. they're a frequent snack in my house and i swear they are the crunchiest things i've ever eaten

[@slashtheporcupine6746]

Fun Fact: last night, I had a dream that Food theory did an episode comparing fruit candy to chocolate candy, both their nutritional values and flavor profiles, to find which one was better. I still remember the opening was that MatPat was excited to eat excessive amounts of candy only to get a stomach ache before finishing a single packet of Gushers. Can you please make this a reality?

[@dominiquelafortune4056]

Wild hypothesis: I'm wondering if decibel levels alone are a good metrics for crunchiness... some research would need to be done but my instinct tells me crunchier chips would have more high-frequency content in the spectrum (which might not necessarily result in higher decibels) whereas soggier chips would have more low-frequency content in the spectrum. So... yeah, a spectrogram analysis might yield more faithful results!

Question… Did you try cooking the veggies with a different method? I feel like maybe baking them could give more crunch… also, get some taro or yuca for the next one, they make great chips.. also try plantain chips, it’d be interesting to see where they fit in this experiment 💙🤤

[@supriyapatil537]

You know what, in India, there are snacks which are kinda like a tougher and crunchier version of Cheetos. I bet those could knock out Kettle Chips no problem. Things like Kurkure are staples here.

[@dyscotopia]

As someone who worked in a poutine restaurant, partially frying a destarched potato (which can be done after slicing in cold water over night), setting aside to cool, and then finishing the frying results in a fry that is crispy and crunchy enough to not immediately melt under the moisture of the gravy. So yeah, the same technique with your chips, thick cutting them, would result in a crunchier result.

I feel that chip shape matters too, chips that curl over itself may be louder due to more being crunched and the extra mass to bounce sound waves off of, possibly.

Definitely needs to alter to a different shape maybe, and the thickness - would also trying a version of the thicker beet chips that are baked after parboiling, as many thicker-cut baked chips produce sturdy and thicc crunch. :)

[@stephentomsky9576]

Suggestion: For draining, don't let the chips pile on each other and use a wire rack turned upside down on paper towels, this puts the metal rack in contact with the paper allowing them to more effectively wick away oil without letting the chips rest on the soggy paper towels. Less oil bogged chip = better crunch

Hey Matt, Could you look into fast-food french fries? I'm positive that they are doing something that makes them impossible to reheat and enjoy. Maybe find out what it is, how you can reheat them successfully and which fast-food fries are the best to reheat? Anyways thought it would be an interesting theory for you to match all the fast food videos.

[@brettworkes1254]

Reheated fries in an air fryer is pretty goof. Pizza as well

[@NightTheDragonOfPurgatory]

Honestly, I don't think any oil-fried fries are good reheated or leftover. Pretty much all fried foods I've had from restaurants and takeout places and made at home aren't good reheated because they dry out or just don't taste the same. I usually end up just eating them leftover cold, depending on what it is. Then again, all of the fried foods I make at home are meats (chicken tenders, chicken thigh fritters, thin-cut, boneless pork chops, and pork tenderloin medallions), so they're fine leftover. But fries as a whole for me are never great again, reheated or otherwise.

Food theory: i have always been told that when boiling eggs you should put vinegar/ salt in the water for the shell to peel off easier. I boil my eggs without anything and it comes out fine, perfect even. Recently ive been binging your videos and ive had this question sitting for some time in my head. Soo I thought id just comment my idea

[@haterpillar3614]

Good idea

[@zombieguy6083]

Just try it out yourself tf? Don't have vinegar and water?

[@Xyliphox]

When you boil eggs, if the shells aren’t perfect the whites can run and that’s what vinegar helps prevent. That way you don’t have an exploded egg in your pot and you get the proper hard boiled egg.

[@zn1126]

@@Xyliphox oh i didnt know that Thanks

[@brianargo4595]

On the flip side, I've tried all of the additive and temp control tricks and none works consistently for me. Only time I get close to being able to peel all the eggs without the shells sticking is to cook them in a steamer basket

[@finkelmana]

Chips should be placed spaced out on a wire rack to dry. This allows any oil to drip away. If chips are piled together, that traps the oil in between. Placing them on paper towels just holds the oil on the chip. More importantly, you should not be eating the chips to test their crunch. Your mouth is creating different shapes and moisture levels, which affect the volume. You should have made a rig to simulate a consistent bite.

[@froggofrance]

I think he wants to test the crunch of the chip when it is being eaten rather than through a rig that simulates a person biting into it

[@Mecal21]

but isn't eating the chips kinda the whole point

[@secksual1168]

When you mention Root vegetables, i instantly think of Jicama, a super juicy root that is very commonly eaten raw with various seasonings. Maybe it has too much water content, but its just a thought. (it is super crunchy eaten raw though, thats why i think of it.)

[@monroerobbins7551]

Honestly, it having a higher water content might make it even better, since it’ll give the oil more of a chance to seep in. Though… if it’s too watery, it may explode.

Theory suggestion: how long could one survive entirely on non-edible things? (Ex: twigs, fabric, paper, etc.)

[@kagenou6833]

good idea

[@barracudicgd]

as long as you would live with no food

[@ColyBaloneyCLBL]

Probably not for long.

[@sleepieste]

7 days i think

[@Satepin]

This boils down to the most nutritious least harmful technically non edible thing you could find and whether you still have water

[@thomastreaty3647]

Thiccccer is definitely the way to go, and as a fry cook, I think having your time in the oil as a constant variable is flawed because as you saw some were still squishy when they came out, but you can’t control the way they cook as fine tuned

[@kidarufilms6345]

The Thiccer They Are The Harder They Fall.

[@hannahcrossett3415]

A food theory/question genre idea: comparing different kinds of ingredients to prove whether particular versions are more or less important when making a particular cuisine or if they can be authentically traded out. The most noticeable one I've come across is cinnamon. I'd be curious about different kinds of citrus (key lime, the Japanese citrus fruit, etc., versus what can be typically found in a small grocery store). The Japanese citrus fruit is supposedly amazing, but I have only seen it in pastries since there's not a huge population of people from that country.

Food Theory Suggestion: growing up in the 70's and 80's I was indoctrinated into a number food related urban legends often centered around samonila. One I recall was the care required to never let jelly (refrigerated) get into the peanut butter or it will give you samonila. This nrings me down the rabbit hole to the modern concern with food allergies and the insistence by some that these allergies never existed in the before times. But now I wonder were all these 70's and 80's food fables just the explainations given to the physical symptoms people sometimes felt due to allergies, rather than actual illness? I recall a study several years back suggesting some short term flus (24 hour bugs) were actually just cases of food poisoning, but I feel too little has been done on the question of how legends get created to explain phenomenon that are in truth based on annecdotal rather than empirical evidence.

[@majesticsnowleopard]

I believe the increase in allergies is empirically true (especially noticeable in peanut allergies), from about 3% of people to 7% of people from 1960 to 2018. My source is the BBC article "Why food allergies are on the rise."

I don't think the "Women don't want to eat crunchy foods" thing came from "seen but not heard". A lot of women (and some men) don't like to have loud, crunchy food in public, not because they're told to be quiet, but because they're trying to be polite to people around them.

[@funnybunny2515]

Wowww kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIS2d5qNoamVgLc.

[@av2279]

The confusion isn't about why someone would want a quieter chip. You just touched on the actual issue. They should have just branded them as "low-crunch" or whatever other term, so that anyone who wanted them for whatever reason could buy them. Specifically saying they were for women was the mistake.

[@IceMetalPunk]

The question is why, as you said, it's "a lot of women" but only "some men".

[@tvorryn]

The standards around politeness are the "seen but not heard" double standard.

[@n8i8c8k8i8]

Courtesy to others is likely a factor, but I'd also guess that social anxiety would also play a role in wanting a quieter chip.

The Real MVP of this theory is Stephanie. Having Misophonia and going through all that crunching is no joke.

Depends on what sets off the Misophonia, for me, I can't take lip smacking of any level and certain kinds of chewing, but crunching isn't an issue (well with exceptions of course, feeling off on any day makes everything worse...)

I've noticed that wavy lays had a more substantial crunch than standard lays, I'm curious if that has to do with shape or if the chips are just thicker in general. Might be something worth looking into.

[@jeffsampson5822]

Surface area and thickness affect the compression strength, which determines the crunchiness.
