Exposing TikTok Food Hacks

The bravest Link has ever been in his entire life is captured in this video. The man bit into a slice of tomato. Incredible.

[@markipliertrash1562]

Amazing

[@EwokPanda]

I live in Taiwan. The humidity here is often 100%. Soaking berries in vinegar 100% increases the shelf life by preventing mold growth.

[@minecraftboyswhoplaymc5527]

THATS WHAT I WAS SAYING!!!!!!!! LOL

[@Finn_Anwarunya]

They definitely should have covered a watermelon with saran wrap and no garlic because I'm pretty sure the plastic wrap is doing all the heavy lifting and all the garlic is doing is making it garlicky.

[@river9309]

they also should have used milk from the same jug because those dates aren’t exact

[@devinvaldesalice7427]

Maybe they wrapped both, just one without garlic? Unless I just wasn't paying attention lol Never mind. I wasn't paying attention 😅

[@thomasfloyd6714]

Who doesn't put cling wrap on their unused water melon. You don't need garlic just wrap it...

[@br.m]

Why. I just set it on a plate, sticky side down and it is fine to store

Yeah i do cling wrap on half and normally eat the 2nd half after a week and it's always fine.

[@stevenfriedman2902]

What if they're supposed to be called "Link and Rhett" instead but after the mix up they just went with it?

[@laurab3131]

I've always thought this while watching previous episodes. Like there has to be many times they have switched stuff by mistake 💀

[@Nowaykev]

Probably a lot but that’s what makes the show good !! 🤣

[@elenaoakes8494]

I was more suspicious of them tasting garlic. After links april fools tests placebo is a real thing. 😅

[@Debrrrs]

I 100%, without a doubt, believe Link's Top Milk story about College Rhett. Grownup Rhett tried to explain it away, but I trust that experience is forever stuck in Link's brain. top milk. Rhett!!!!

[@svetllama]

I can almost see college Rhett explaining top milk you are extremely correct

[@pirmigrin]

The Watermelon Mix up has me questioning everything I’ve ever seen on GMM

[@aliandersen5519]

You guys should do a segment, at least in a good mythical more, of what is the best stale food taste test. You could call it “we’re stale good!“ I recommend stale graham crackers, they taste the same and somehow it’s just a softer version of the same thing.

[@psychobratt]

Graham crackers do not taste the same when stale, they taste like cardboard 😭

[@AWomanCalledWinnie]

I love how as Rhett is describing how to "properly" eat a strawberry, Link is next to him just eating it exactly how he always has 😂. The subtle comedy.

[@whollitrolli]

I was looking for this comment, why is this not a bigger deal!!!!!

[@kioshekat7931]

Question: was the non-garlic watermellon wrapped in saran wrap too? Cuz any watermellon covered in saran wrap will "stay fresh for days"

[@Kafaldsbylur]

Even the milk "hack", expiration dates aren't a hard limit for shelf life; unsalted milk can also still be fine 5 a couple days after its expiration date

[@MySavingGraceXO]

I feel like it was and production didn’t mix them up.

[@kvasir8931]

Was the other watermelon covered with plastic? There is no way garlic is gonna make it retain the water better.

[@michibmoon]

They were both supposed to be covered with plastic

[@bizboy6036]

That 100% looks like a watermelon that was left exposed to the air

[@mindys5555]

​@@michibmoonthey didn't say that

[@Laura_Norda]

Rhett & Link referring to the 'top milk', I've always referred to it as 'side milk', as in the milk that gets dried on around the sides and lid of the bottle. I always decant the milk if it smells to see if it still smells in a new container 👍

[@d3athreaper100]

Ive never had a gallon go bad. Mainly cause i drink a gallon of milk in 2 days.

May be just covering watermelon with plasti wrap would do the job already

[@DumbArse]

If you worked at ANY small shops that sells watermelon when they are in season you know that all you gotta do is plasti wrap it

[@MrVovansim]

Yeah, exactly. It was the plastic wrap that preserved the watermelon, not the garlic.

[@katc2040]

There's alot of people that don't have access to therapy since the pandemic.

[@AlbrightNow7]

Therapist here-better help is like the “Walmart” of therapy options. It’s okay if that’s all you have access to/can afford. There’s even some damn good therapists on better help I’m sure. But there are MANY virtual therapists that can provide way better quality therapy and may also offer payment plans or reduced rates. I love the promotion of mental health the guys do, I just hope they move to a more ethical and quality promotion platform for it.

[@neonblkhole]

@wjm21298 do you have any concept of what sponsorships are? like, any at all? or can you just not put 2 and 2 together from there...

[@Jlransom79]

I do put my strawberries in vinegar (no lemon juice). It’s always worked for me.

[@HowlingMonki]

Seeing you guys do hacks makes me want you to have KZbin food scientist/baker Ann from How to Cook That. After watching her debunk alot of hacks, I'm doubtful about that garlic hack actually working. It could be her assisting them with seeing which hacks are actually good vs ones that are fake. Could be fun and informative!

[@leahnorberg6964]

I’m second guessing everything you’ve ever tested because production mixed up the watermelon 😂

13:10 lactobacillus bacteria, needs salt to live. Its also the bacteria that causes milk to go bad. And interesting enough its also the same bacteria that pickles/ ferments vegetables. So yes salt in milk is a bad idea.

[@arifhossain9751]

She just curdled the milk. Some folks like curdled milk.

[@graysheep189]

Lacto doesn’t need salt to live and reproduce. It really just need fermentable substances and some other nutrients usually sugar. Though most strains are salt tolerant and can survive up to 10% saline solution. So a pinch isn’tof doing much.

[@listondavis]

Paenibacillus is the predominant species in spoiled milk. So, any talk about lactobacillus in reference to spoiled milk is moot.

Ok, now you guys have to repeat the garlic experiment. The results were convincing but with 1) a sample size of 1 and 2) with the crew saying it was the other way around, its too intriguing to leave alone like that. Then again, this should really be resolved by real science but, in the absence of that, two guys on the internet will suffice.

Milk shouldn't be stored in the door anyway, milk should be in the back where it's coldest, so the hack would be irrelevant if it was stored properly

[@davidhatfield1930]

I think it depends on the fridge. The fridge at my parents house recommends storing milk in the door because of the way it runs.

not necessarily, all my milk is in the door shelf :) depends what make it is i think

[@pagecolt3031]

[@satellitebrain]

The watermelon hack was not an accurate test because the hack involved two changes compared to the control (garlic & plastic wrap). A more reliable test of the effectiveness of garlic would've been to wrap both watermelons with plastic but use garlic for one melon. Otherwise I am inclined to believe that the plastic wrap actually affected the outcome more than the garlic.
