The fact they put styrofoam plates in the microwave 😂 so adds to the Midwest taste

[@stephieamanda]

[@tiffanybrown7147]

I thought I was the only one questioning that!

[@MargauxNeedler]

​@@tiffanybrown7147is it gonna hurt the microwave?

[@tiffanybrown7147]

@@MargauxNeedler YES! The microwave is a very sensitive appliance that can be hurt by lots of things! (Kidding,kinda?) It's mostly because of the toxic chemicals and compounds inside of Styrofoam it is unsafe to microwave and has been linked to cancer causing toxins. Also can melt the plate lol

[@MargauxNeedler]

@tiffanybrown7147 ohh dang, any Styrofoam takeout I've been putting it in the microwave.

[@julieweegens]

Yassss Jacob! Get that Hot Topic sponsorship! Also if you want to elevate the first snack (nachos), just do exactly what you did, but put it in the air fryer instead of the microwave.

that sounds bomb

i just made tacos wit a rotisserie chx and it is a whooole new world!!

[@askme0316]

Ahhh, fond memories. In our house we played around with most of the ones you guys presented too, but the one that stood out the most for me was childhood snack #8. My big brother did a take on this, that he called a "hungry man sandwhich". My brother and sister were 16 and 17 years old when I was born, so there was quite an age gap. But on Saturday mornings when my parents would go to yard sales, I would stay home with my super cool big brother and we'd watch Saturday morning WCW wrestling on tv. It was with him I learned to cook a lot of things, because I felt it was the highest honor to be able to hang out with him, and I would pretty much do anything he asked me to - he was just cool like that. The first food I learned to cook, was blue box mac and cheese (aka kraft) - at about 8 years old - because that's what he wanted for breakfast one Saturday morning, so that's what I did. lol. My dad taught me how to cook cheese toast in the oven, that was the 2nd thing I learned how to cook. And by about 11 or 12, I was cooking hambuger helper for dinners to help mom out. ANY-who...back to my initial point haha. My brother's take on snack #8 - the "hungry man sandwich" - you put one slice of white bread on a microwave safe plate - pop a slice of thick cut bologna on top of it (remove the red border situation - had a weird childhood friend who used to eat that thing - gross!) -pop this in the microwave, and set it for 20 seconds. DON'T PRESS START YET -take your other slice of white bread, and slather it with a good layer of CHUNKY peanut butter (you could try non-chunky, but it just doesn't 'hit right' as the kids say lol) -once the other slice is ready with the chunky peanut butter, NOW HIT START ON MICROWAVE for your plate that's waiting inside -soon as it dings finished, pull that plate out of the microwave - WATCH OUT, IT MIGHT BE HOT - and sit it on the counter -slap right on top of the warmed bologna bread, the chunky peanut butter slice -when you do so, the heat is going to make the peanut butter get oozy and warm and it will melt some out between the sandwich on to the plate -finish by.....*DRUMROLL* - pouring some sweet bbq sauce over the top of the sandwich Grab yourself a fork, and knife, cut up a bite and give it a try and enjoy!!!! ...this isn't for everyone, I'm well aware. But it works in our house haha. My brother was super cool. His nick name was Chilidog - and everyone, everywhere seemed to know his name. Kind of like Norm from the 80s tv show "Cheers" ...where he was super cool on one hand, he was a trickster on the other - that childhood friend that used to eat the red ring situation off the bologna......he talked her into taking a drink of castor oil one weekend when she visited........that was an explosive kind of fun!! haha He passed away August 27th 2004....I wish I had spent more time with him....our age difference at that time, he was 39 and I was 22....just had us in different worlds....I don't regret much, but I regret not spending time with him when the time was there.....one of the reasons I really enjoy videos when Jacob and Lucas are both in them together....their bond is really nice, and I enjoy coming to this part of the internet-verse, and having a nice, easy, cool time. Thanks for being awesome guys! Have a great weekend!!!

[@RebaMcImTired]

I know I’m super late to this, but your brother aka “Chilidog” sounded cool as hell. I’m really sorry for your loss. I’m sure your brother really cherished the times you spent together.

[@askme0316]

@RebaMcImTired thank you for the internet kindness. Need more of this for all! 😊 hope you have a great new week my friend. He was pretty cool.... even when I paid to get MIKE (his actual name) tattooed on his fingers, and he was talking to the artist all "yeah bro, yeah I know exactly" like the cool Chilidog, -- then look at me mouthing "ooohh fuggin shit this bitch hurts" 😆 like the Bubba only family knew 💖🤪

i literally shivered watching you eat the baloney and peanut butter

i was first taken aback by the mayo and american cheese sandwich, but they pulled me back in with the following recipes, until this one. wtf. is that actually a thing??😭 i’m horrified!

"lazy toast" 😂 I guess that's pretty much my childhood snack of bread and butter (room temp) 😂

I don’t like toast so I basically eat lazy toast every time. But sometimes I make cinnamon sugar toast and that’s really good

[@sleepyspice23]

The fact that 90% of these were also my childhood snacks

[@maddynye]

cinnamon toast!! one of my childhood favs 🥰

[@Gtree43]

My fav childhood snack is definitely bread cheese and tomatoes 😍 you toast the bread with cheddar cheese in an oven (broiler setting), and then you slice up tomato and onion (I do mostly tomato), throw it in a bowl and mix it together with salt and pepper and then put it on top of the toast. I know it seems different and like a lot of work but that's one of the things we absolutely love in the Caribbean 😍

[@grammernotzi]

So, basically it's salsa on top of cheesy bread sticks... That sounds delicious! 😋

[@Gtree43]

@@grammernotzi haha sure! Though it's only sliced, not blended, so it almost like deconstructed salsa

[@itsmefm]

I feel like childhood snacks are just practice for college struggle meals

[@randomagon5123]

Definitely been reverting back to some of these during my time in college 😂

[@zoemccollum]

i used to do the buttered bread with sprinkles because my mom had an australian friend that shared the recipe with her. not much of a recipe but it's an australian kids snack to have "fairy bread" which is literally just bread butter and sprinkles. idk why but it hits so much harder with sprinkles, specifically the round rainbow sprinkles.

[@sarahanne2]

Fairy bread tastes best with round sprinkles 😋

[@BrittneyStAubin]

We stan Hot Topic!!!

[@jessicaholscher4097]

Growing up, i had only ever seen anybody make scrambled eggs in the microwave, so i thought you had to us the microwave, and one day, my cousins were over, and they were like "let's make scrambled eggs," and they started getting stuff out for the stove, and i'm like, "you can make scrambled eggs on the stove? i thought you had to make them in the microwave," and then my cousins were like, "you can make scrambled eggs in the microwave?!" we all learned something exciting that day.

I had to go to after school care as a kid and the only good thing about it was when they fed us butter bread. You just butter slices of white bread on both sides and then toast it in a fry pan. Its sooooo yummy. You just eat it plain like that. Since you don't enjoy your microwaved butter bread anymore you should try this! People are amazed at how good it is when I make it

My childhood staple was also a mayonnaise and cheese sandwich but I would add bologna, sometimes cut the crusts. I liked it so much, in first grade we had to write an instructional paper explaining how to do something and I wrote about how to make a bologna, cheese, and mayonnaise sandwich. Anyways, thanks for this video. You guys make me smile 😊

Microwaving Styrofoam plates is so midwest of you. Hot topic is such an unlikely sponsor btw. Jacob stays winning.

[@TheShauNanigans]

@13:50 Snack #6 It is absolutely better to make your own chocolate, strawberry, or whatever flavored milk you want to make with syrup. The store bought is going to always stop adding the flavor at a certain point at whatever the company thinks should be the most palatable for the average person. When you make it yourself you can add as much flavor as you want. I also remember mixing strawberry and chocolate syrups was pretty solid, but I haven't tried that since I was really young. I'm pretty sure I never mixed both as an adult, and now I'm wondering whether it holds up. LOL

[@rebareebs]

Growing up in the 90s, these are all iconic to me! Except for the broccoli cheese and bologna peanut butter. Everyone knows that strawberry milk is the real queen though…so much better than chocolate!

[@sozi6451]

grew up in the midwest too and a lot of these were staples lol. for the butter and bread though, i would melt the butter stick in the microwave for a few seconds to soften it, then spread it on half the slice of the white bread (white bread hit diff) and then i’d fold it and bam that’s it. i liked the butter to be solid and not melted but also not too hard

[@climb7019]
