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

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

[@naazbutool6553]

Omg thanks for the heart!

[@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

[@Oonagh72]

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

[@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.

"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

@@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! ❤

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

[@alliestanfield-paramore7250]

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.

[@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)

[@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.

[@IceQueen975]

ngl, those salmon sliders look SO good. Daym.

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

[@heyitslarib]

David, I need you to do this one. I do it and it's amazing every time: - Two apples - A can of sprite Dice apples. Add to a saucepan with the whole can of sprite. Boil until mushy and golden. Serve by itself or with ice cream. Divine.

[@jenniferlynn3537]

Yep, Kennedy killed it! Your hair looks great!

[@MrTheBigNoze]

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

[@bettyb1313]

Mini doughnut mold would be good

[@jannahjayy]

the potato bites are surprisingly good for a tiktok snack

[@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

[@rhylaa]

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

[@krogers5682]

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

[@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.

[@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.

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

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😂

[@sonicfreak04]

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

[@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.

[@shaqtaku]

[@dulcemariaoviedo4622]

Thank you David, for sacrificing yourself for our sake. love you

[@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"

[@emmab5424]

I mean I feel like sweet rice wine, lemon and lime are perfectly reasonable things to put in Ramen, sprite is basically citrus flavored sugar water, it's not introducing any crazy flavor that shouldn't be there

[@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!

[@madstupid2589]

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

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.

I grew up on the coast of the Pacific Northwest and with a river bordering our farm. There’s was always an over-abundance of salmon in the house. Here’s my Bubba Gump Shrimp Co imitation lol- We had salmon smoked, oven-cooked a million ways (broiled, casseroles, more), chowder, fried dozens of ways, salmon meatloaf, cooked with bbq sauce just like a rack of ribs (that made GREAT sandwiches!), cold leftovers in salads and sandwiches, jerky, in a gravy served over rice or pasta, along the same idea of chipped beef on toast (sh*t on a shingle the old timers called it lol), and I could go on. So eating salmon in a sandwich is just one of many many delish ways you should try it! Cheers from the PNW! 🍣🌮🥘🍔🥙🥪🍢🥧
