For many people, they wait between Thanksgiving and Christmas to do their shopping. This year is one of those years where Thanksgiving is on the latest day it can possibly be thus reducing the time to shop by that much. It's a no wonder December is flying by.

It's good that keppy is back to normal 😊😊😊

I used to have oral allergy syndrome where my mouth and lips would feel just _slightly itchy_ after eating banana and cantaloupe/musk melon. It has to do with fruit cross-pollinating with pollen allergens. Banana and melon is apparently because of cross-pollination with Ragweed. Kiwi, from what I see, can be cross-pollination with grass. So if Mal is also allergic to grass pollen, it _could_ be Oral Allergy Syndrome.

I have this happen all the time with things like bananas! I used to think it meant I was actually allergic to them but it's just like... a thing??

[@ndrwsrcht]

"I don't know how kiwi works!"

[@samanthadenny935]

"That's not what kiwi does to everyone?" reminds me of the old potato sweats post where someone realized they were just allergic 🤣

[@libertyjones3799]

Okay so I commented about the video differences on the last vlog before I saw the discussion in this vlog and I'm a little proud of myself for seeing it before you said it.

Mallory also mentioned a cantaloupe being spicy, most likely allergy related due to these fruits (including kiwi) having similar proteins to latex. Other common examples are avocados and bananas but its mostly casebycase.

[@oneandonlytara]

I have a latex allergy too (anaphylaxis) and bananas are also a cross-allergen. I eat them, but also get that scratchy/burning sensation in my mouth. It doesn't last long, so I haven't really had any concerns, but just a note. I haven't noticed it for myself with kiwi though. I believe the same for mango as well.

Is it the DJI Pocket II? Or some other pocket gimbal cam? Either way, can't wait for the camera talk for it!

[@baka_yu9343]

Did you change something in the video settings? These last videos look very wide-angle and kinda distorted because of it. EDIT: Ah, new camera! Still, my point about the look to me, personally, stands. And yes Mal, don't keep eating Kiwi, that's not normal, I have that with a lot of fruit as well.

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

spicy/itchy feeling is definitely an allergic reaction. i thought as a kid everyones mouth itched eating certain foods. one of which was apples. i am allergic to apples...

[@GamingWithPatrick87]

As someone who is also latex allergic, I had no idea kiwi had a cross allergy

[@DarianHarder]

I’m allergic to latex but I have never had a problem with kiwi. Granted I don’t have it very often

[@radiodread]

I haven't eaten kiwi since I was a child and consuming the fruit sent me to the hospital with a severe itch and clogged-up throat. Kiwi is the devil's fruit. 😅

[@kriijan3747]

Aaah that's what seemed a little weird, it's the focal length. I don't mind the change, it'll just take some getting used to.

[@catherinebaldwin6580]

Aa, ya, that what peanuts do to me. They like burn and scratch your throat. I don’t know what would happen if I eat it, the pain makes me throw up.

[@leahfantasy]

Sorry but since you mentioned you were looking for opinions about it in the other vlog I am not a fan of the .5 lens for the vlogs :(

[@lukesauls]

It's def Pocket Osmo III. Looks good

[@jenniferjakubowicz9198]

Ok. Kiwi did the same thing to my mouth and I'm also allergic to latex. This is a very interesting information. Thanks.

[@NaviNeku24]

I get that scratchy feeling in my throat whenever I drink something with soy in it. I can’t help but wonder if it’s an allergy to soy or something, but I don’t know if that’s even a thing. 😅

[@DonnieReno]

It’s going to seem odd that you won’t be with your parents at Christmas 😢

[@supermariogamer1757]

I don't eat kiwi so I wouldn't know
