Weird & DISGUSTING Japanese Sodas | (French Fry, Yakisoba, etc.) 🤢

[@Antelieris1]

To answer your question about the salted watermelon, salt draws the moisture inside the melon to the surface, giving it a sweeter taste when you bite down. As for the salt, well, sweet n' salty is a very popular flavor combo.

[@Hauntaku]

Salt on watermelon is a weird combo imo but whatever floats your boat.

[@Antelieris1]

@@Hauntaku Lots of people say that about things before they actually try them. Reminder that you're not seasoning the watermelon, you're just using the salt to draw out the sweetness. If you can taste more than a hint of salt, you did it wrong. Peebs saying in the video that he can barely taste the salt means it was done right.

[@soulreaver6546]

@@Hauntaku salt on watermelon slaps, try it

[@faiaflrt]

Both are good, but salted watermelon is juicier when you first bite into it. It changes the flavor a lot, but not in a bad way. Same with cantaloupe, though you put pepper on that, too.

I'd like to think the idea for Peebs buying all these different ramune drinks came from the Pokémon meal video where his wife game him the Pokémon ramune she'd been saving for 11 years. Glad you finally paid her back with a good drink!

[@Shinius]

More Japanese products. But sadly, not much to translate this time. Just leaving a fun tidbit. 7:20 - There is no native Japanese word for Banana, instead the Japanese use Katakana for it, which is the characters used to (normally, but not always) represent non-Japanese words. Hence Banana is simply バナナ. Ba-Na-Na.

[@GasMaskedMonkey]

Peebs’ excitement to let his wife try the Salt Watermelon flavor is so wholesome! :)

[@shawnfields2369]

[@malachyte_art]

I've heard from a friend of mine in the Netherlands that they have a ton of licorice flavors, like in the US we mostly have black and red, but there they have dozens, including "double salt". Could be fun to see that on your channel!

[@RantingThespian]

Licorice doesn't have flavors. Licorice IS a flavor. What people call red licorice (like Red Twizzlers or Red Vines) is not licorice. Licorice candy is anything flavored with licorce. It is usualy paired with black colors, but can be any color that the confectioner wants to add. Licorice is a flavor extracted from the licorice (or liquorice) plant, and is usually quite intense and (IMO) very harsh and somewhat bitter.

[@funkin-fungoid]

@@RantingThespian okay so flavored licorice shaped candy.

[@RantingThespian]

@@funkin-fungoid The only real shape that licorice has is plant shape. Again, it's a Flavor extracted from the licorice plant. Licorice candy can be whatever shape or color you want it to be: round, square, green, red, black, long, short, shaped like a cat holding a corndog.

[@Palasid11]

@@RantingThespian So do licorice plants taste more or less like black licorice candy? Or does the actual plant taste completely different?

[@RantingThespian]

@@Palasid11 Lol, I have never grabbed a licorice plant and comped down on it. I doubt I ever will, even if I see one. Mainly because I HATE licorice candy. I especially hate it when it looks all colourful and sweet only to eat it and discover its licorice candy. If you want to grow one and try it out, go ahead.

[@musselbug7583]

Thanks Peebs for once again suffering for our entertainment and special thanks to Toasty for incorporating 'Tomba' music and sound effects into your stellar edits. They really warm my desiccated millenial soul.

[@shadowking278]

And for introducing me to ramune.

[@DigitalxGamer]

One of the things I love most about the Japanese language is that there's literally only one way to pronounce each character. Unlike in English where we have silent letters, letters that can be a hard or soft sound depending on what surrounds it, etc. If you see a Japanese word that says "ta" then it can only be pronounced "tah." If you see "ko" then it's "koh." When you see a Japanese word spelled out phonetically, it's actually likely to be easier to pronounce than an English word of the same length. xD

[@Jake-dh7vh]

Pretty true for the most part. Especially when compared to English or like any other Germanic language. Though Japanese does have its occasional oddities, like the lack of a proper distinction between "R" and "L" sounds, diphthongs and omitted vowels, etc.

[@AceTrainerX3]

Thank you, it's been so cathartic learning proper japanese pronunciation the past 2 years.

[@sammer1097]

You seem to be forgetting that Japanese has at least 3 different alphabets, meaning there are multiple ways to write each sound, and it's (as far as I've seen) fairly common for words to mix alphabets (like using both hiragana and katakana together). I'm currently in the process of studying Japanese and am finding this _infuriatingly_ confusing.

[@Jake-dh7vh]

@@sammer1097 it’s not tooo bad. The more accustomed you get to the characters the easier it becomes to identify what they’re being used for. All the Kanji and their proper pronunciations in each context is the real infuriating thing.

[@billbertthegreat]

Not kanji lol

[@ohm_sweet_ohm]

I have a Christmas-related suggestion. Candy canes. You'd be surprised by the amount of bizarre flavors you can find them in. Mac and cheese, gravy, kale, clam chowder - you name it. I've never actually seen anyone taste test them, but I'm sure your reactions would be priceless!

@@AceTrainerX3 Yes, there are certain languages where it does completely change the word, but Japanese isn't that entire strict. You wouldn't get upset at French/Spanish speaker for rolling their Rs while speaking English just because that isn't how native English speakers pronounce it themselves. But for some reason Weeaboos act like it's a war crime when someone pronounces Ryu with an English R sound instead of the Japanese in-between L/R sound. If the person is legitimately accidentally completely changing a word due to their pronunciation, then go ahead and correct them. If not, then it doesn't matter. So an equivalent in english would be mispronouncing Bass so that you say Bass instead.

[@undevelopmentteam]

Mune is pronounced like Mew'n, close to moon. The Mune'eh sound is a misconception that comes from the Japanese accent as they wouldn't end a word with the Na sound. So saying things like "coffee house" even become Coffee'a House'oo but that's not what we say. It seems to be brought over from words that are mostly or maybe exclusively from Japan as we seek the pronunciation from a native Japanese speaker. I learned this when looking up why people were calling the sword "Masamune" masamoon'e

It depends on the location though. There may be an accent that causes a strange influction.
