So you know, because liquid foods like eggs are mostly water, you can ballpark volumes to weight as 1L:1kg. Using this a large egg is about 50-60 grams or 1/5-1/4 cup of egg.

A college professor (psychology) once told a story about this woman he knew that drank two bottles of vanilla extract every day, to get tipsy. She was very dedicated to this addiction, but very embarrassed by it. She went as far as to make a monthly schedule and accompanying map to organize which stores she would buy vanilla extract at on which day. She wouldn't shop in the same store in the same month or in the same town in the same week, because she didn't want any single individual recognizing her and finding out how much vanilla extract she buys. She even scheduled different times of the day to shop, so she wouldn't run into the same employees. I'm sure she would love this recipe.

[@mynamejeff3545]

Something tells me there are more efficient, cheaper ways to get tipsy that don't require eleborate schemes to sneakily buy ungodly quantities of vanilla extract

@@mynamejeff3545 I remember seeing a video of this guy who drank straight up hand sanitizer (it was a documentary style video of this person going into a program to become sober) and saw a comment that I think could apply to this too. They said it could be a type of "process addiction," which means they actually get a high from collecting the materials maybe even more than getting drunk in it's own...thaat could explain the whole operation they go through, instead of just going and buying alcohol.

None cake with left vanilla extract

[@LibraryFairy762]

Yours and your partners shirts are iconic and wonderful and I love the impeccable vibes the two of you always have

[@lailakennedy1079]

Getting to vote for vanilla extract and Teya’s pizza feel like being a part of tumblr history

[@captaincaspian42]

Don't forget bug race!!

[@catboy_tylerr]

10:37 "i am taking away the vanilla extract and i'm putting it on the top shelf where you can't reach it" bold of you to assume i won't climb on the countertop to reach the top shelf

[@Emily-pn1rg]

The look your girlfriend was giving towards the end of the vanilla extract counting was 100% the "I love this person, this is my person, very annoying person right now, but whom I very much Love" Sometimes you just gotta pull the, "wha-huh-but why?"

[@plushdragonteddy]

i love how i always happen to open tumblr when something big is going around, and never at any other time. i updated my app so i could view the vanilla cake poll. before that, i logged on for goncharov, and before that i believe was november 5th (we all know what year lmao). i don’t know how i’ve managed this

[@leandroaraujo9515]

Oh my god when I saw this poll for the first time after I could finally stop laughing I told my girlfriend "I hope Strange Aeons makes the vanilla extract cake". I knew you wouldn't let us down thank you so much for this gift 🙏

[@ChillietheFaerie]

my friend posted the cake poll and we've been screaming about all this in the group chat for days

[@MoonWhing]

I'm amazed how many people are actually making that cake. I love tumblr. We will truly run with the bit.

[@Queerpixiedreamgrrl]

I work in a residential substance abuse treatment program and we lock up the vanilla extract

[@thequeenofcringe1585]

my immediate reaction to seeing that poll was “it’s gonna be like the soup post”i could just feel it in my bones

[@tvguts]

the "i also add a billion cubes" soup post?

I went to school for Chemistry, and in Organic Chemistry, in a lab project where we got to pick something we synthesised, my partner and I picked Vanillin, aka fake vanilla flavour. I am pretty sure no human should consume that much vanilla/Vanillin, even though I'm guessing most of it would be reduced, but godspeed, Strange. I love vanilla, but I am absolutely fascinated by how ~unholy~ this must taste.

[@dovelynight]

teya i am giggling so hard at "if i posted this on your birthday, happy birthday. this is your party now, you can't leave" (5:12) thank you for your hard work, brave soldier. this video has also made me realise that since rejoining tumblr i have not followed you which is practically blasphemy so i shall do that now

[@kaciehendrixson1212]

omg you literally did post this on my 23rd birthday. Thank you, I love my vanilla extract party

[@donutshark64]

5:13 You did post this on my Birthday actually so thank you! Edit: OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THE MY IMMORTAL SPECIAL, CONGRATULATIONS ON 1 MIL Looking forward to it!

[@rainy-matcha]

The costco vanilla extract is what the og user who actually made the cake used, its much cheaper, 10$ for a big bottle. Ive had the same bottle for a year now, its BIG.

[@chexmixbaby44]

You being lost in the sauce and not noticing your girlfriend drink vanilla extract gives me very griddlehark vibes if they were happy LMAO

[@thatsdisco]

[@grimmgoosegoose216]

THATS SO ACCURATE

[@nummynoms4525]

Okay, but Strange, the Tiger Beat-esque t-shirt is giving me early 2000's vibes and my inner tween is OBSESSED. Where can I possess such fine couture?

[@brinncognito]

It was designed by Kerin Cunningham and sold at MCR’s recent tour!

[@Fawn_response]

New comfort video there's something quite calming in remembering the fact that not only one but two people have attempted to make the vanilla extract tumblr cake

[@SpiralAnimationssssss]

When I first saw this post I voted for sugar or smth and when the results showed up I was MORTIFIED The next I was caught off guard with stew ingredients and didn’t see vanilla extract which would prevail at the very bottom of the post The next one was literally just a whole poll where every single fucking option was vanilla extract and I accepted my fate

[@thatnobody915]

Quality content. I'm so glad that Tumblr polls exist. Thank you Teya.

[@skye2578]

My middle school computer teacher would drink vanilla extract every day in school

[@lostvegas2677]

I also have and adore the Boy Zone MCR shirt, I saw it at the merch table at Riotfest and instantly knew it had to be mine! Also I voted flour because somebody had to try and make a real cake.

[@jmckenzie962]

I feel like Strange's shirt pretty much sums up the entire 2000's

[@justalurkr]

Okay, thank you! I haven't seen the poll, but vanilla extract refs have definitely popped all over my feed.

[@winterhusky404]

I remember coming across that poll, reading each of the options before seeing vanilla extract at the bottom. I immediately knew that everyone had voted for that and I should too. Glad to see what my terrible choices have helped yield.

[@GinLeigh]

I always love when you and Kristin are doing stuff like this together, always a good time :) , like, it just puts me in a good mood. Congrats on the 1million subs!

[@jimperry74]

Love it when you two do the cooking shows, definitely some of my favorite content on your channel!

[@fruitmoth17]

God I remember seeing the meme as it was just taking off and immediately knew you would have a field day with this

[@restlessparadox1953]

CONGRATS ON A MILLIKON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED FOR THE MY IMMORTAL SPECIAL I HAVE BEEN CHECKING EVERY DAY

[@vanillathebard]

This is just such a cute little video despite the cursedness of the cake.

[@H2OBoB1]

I love how when you are in the kitchen in your videos, it's a family affair

[@pengomode7442]

I am so proud that i was part of the vanilla extract SWEEP

[@AlynWilson]

I checked and was actually shocked to find that this WAS, in fact, posted within 2 days of my birthday!
