Testing TikTok Hyped Food Items and Menu Hacks in America

[@sweetR3venge218]

I worked at McDonald's for 10 years and from experience, since they don't do birthday parties anymore, most of the locations that have cake also have the play place. That's your best bet of finding one that carries them. They also have socks most of the time.

[@000euMJ]

I've heard that the cakes are actually for the people working there (for their birthdays), but they'll sell them if you want to.

[@sweetR3venge218]

@000euMJ no 🤣 mcdonalds honestly could care less if it's your birthday. It's just another day to them. I got one single cake the whole time I worked there and it was shared with a coworker with the same birthday, handmade by one of the other coworkers. McDonald's sucks

[@C.L.Hinton]

Socks?? Like, instead of toys? 🤔

[@kmackblack]

@@C.L.Hintoni would assume for kids to wear on the play place

[@CGiles]

​@@sweetR3venge218it's "couldn't care less". saying they could care less implies they do care a little.

[@HapE2Give]

I worked at McDonald's. The chocolate cake IS the one you want. Haven't had one for years, but it used to be FABULOUS. Better with ice cream, but hey...the machine is probably broken! 😂

[@kweenalize5455]

I had a birthday party at mcdonalds when i was 6 lol i had a cake!!!! As the birthday girl, one of the employees gave me a tour of the staff area, i got to push the button the start the fryer, scoop fries into a box, we played in the play room, and they sing you happy birthday with the cake.

[@glutenfreejess1012]

Awh hahaThat's so cute! Just thinking health and safety now would never🤣🤣

[@briansinger2298]

You are lucky and it was back then and a nice experience. None of that all is possible these days. Pathetic deays.

[@lbednaz]

I worked at McDonald's during college, while getting my Teaching Degree. Since I was good with kids I ended up working most of the parties. In the 80's having a kid's party at a McDonald's which had the playground was very popular. The kids got a Happy Meal with orange soda and then had the McDonald's cake. We always had 4 in the freezer, 2 chocolate and 2 vanilla. You would just put it in the fridge the day before. If you don't work any parties, pretty sure you would never know they even have cake.

You should try ALL the Kettle chip flavors. The same crunch with a number of different flavors

[@nehamaw]

Kettle chips are the best!

[@rainbowofboxes8021]

the hot dog chicken bake thingy... how about try cutting down the side so it's more like a hotdog bun and placing the hotdog inside then closing it back up? this will keep the chicken from going to the bottom and allow the hotdog to be placed inside easier :D

[@Ray_Vun]

to answer your question as to why we don't replace the bad oils for the good ones, it's because the bad oils are cheap. for companies to start using the good oils, they'd mark up their prices so they'd make profit to compensate for the money they spend on the good oils. there's a reason why the regular sunflower oil is so cheap compared to olive oil

[@tinalee10]

With the light shades in the background, it almost looks Raphael has a comic style thought bubble on it's way to forming. Fantastic video as always. I love your energy, it's so sweet and just genuine. Always relaxing, almost soothing to watch, with a couple of laughs thrown in for good measure :). Best way to end a day.

[@Ray_Vun]

it's not oxygen in the bags. at least with chip bags, they put nitrogen gas, as it protects them from being all crushed up but it also prevents them from going stale. so that's probably the same with the animal crackers. it's probably the same with most sealed bagged goods, and that's why they're only half full

[@Mumummymom]

If that was truly the reason they would put them in boxes like other cookies. It makes sense for chips.😢

[@kimromi5300]

1:50 I will never look at a birthday cake the same way after this🙂

[@blackngrey4real]

The mochi snack bytes they sell at sprouts or Trader Joe’s are good. The ones I get are salt/original and it’s crunchy rice that feels fried but it’s not.

Please ignore the haters! It's a great video and you're always wonderful to watch :)

[@aicirtkciub9167]

The air in the package protects the product from rubbing and deforming. Like a bag of chips the air helps keep them whole in one nice chip instead of crumbs

[@ShastaRob]

Thanks for the review of the Reese's Dipped. Totally would be something I would have wanted to try and then probably regretted.

[@brandiwelch727]

I absolutely love Reeses and all things peanut butter and was so excited to try them and when I finally did I was soooo disappointed because they weren't good at all😭

[@katiebrooke9040]

I tried them and was disappointed it didn’t have Reese’s flavor like I was expecting. I was expecting it to taste like a Reese’s cup with an animal cracker inside.

@Raphael Gomes You should watch the Food Theory video did a while ago. They went into why there is air in a bag of chips/cookies/etc. Granted companies do take advantage to put more air that is needed in there, but no matter what there will unfortunately always be a notable amount on air in a bag. The video explains it better.

[@robertdadabo9076]

wierdly enough, the cotton candy flavoring isn't added to the grapes after the fact like I thought, it comes naturally. If you were to pull one strait off the vine, it will taste just the same. I think it might have something to do with the water used to grow them. I met someone from the farm once, and asked about it.

[@gunnybunny4081]

The tortilla chips looked & sounded really good & the guy from the TikTok video has his own whole food/ keto food company called thrive market & really cares about what’s in food so I trust what he says!

[@heathereagleson1098]

I went to LA Fitness Monday as a new member and noticed they had a “healthy” vending machine, but all their items were like $5.50! Anyway, one of the items caught my eye, which was basically a protein “pop-tart” called Legendary protein pastry. They had a blueberry and strawberry flavor. I looked them up and you can find them at GNC, Target and Walmart. ❤

[@Hseem]

just bought a case. not good

[@wdjones4735]

Kettle Brand makes a Peperoncini flavor and they are delicious. I kinda like them better than the Jalapeño flavor.

[@joys9791]

I never eat cake a birthday party that someone has blown over, either. My sister and I call it “spit” cake.

[@montananerd8244]

lol is it bad that I try the grapes before I buy? No need to buy cotton candy - sweet but not juicy! Def too firm.

Next time you have an icy sorbet, try scraping the spoon on the top and shaving several layers onto the spoon. It's a nicer texture that melts in the mouth. 😊

[@ravinhud4979]

How expired is that bday cake if the lady worked there for 10 years and never knew they sold it? lol

[@liah3107]

You need to make another tik tok hack which is amazing! You take those cotton candy grapes (which I assume you have plenty leftovers) and put them in a bowl. Get a lime and juice it over the grapes. Then sprinkle some Jello powder over it and freeze. After awhile, eat it, and it tastes AMAZING!

[@132Conner]

Go to grocery outlet! Kettle chips are so much cheaper there and they have a lot of unique foods that you may not find at other stores.

[@amyperkins2008]

The dumplings... I get these at dollar general for $3 for a six pack. BEST SNACK EVER!!!

[@riograndelily8344]

I think cotton candy grapes are disgusting but I do love the sorbet/ice cream in a coconut shell frozen treat. Costco hot dogs as well. You are a darling boy. I'm 60 and do enjoy your content. God bless you precious Grandfather and his garden

A better way to do that bagguette and hotdog is to just split it and put the hotdog in.

[@paulcullen814]

I have seen someone do the Costco chicken bake hotdog hack before in a video. What they did is cut along the top of the chicken bake like a hotdog bun. They then laid the sausage along it. They also bought a slice of cheese pizza and slid the sauce and cheese off the pizza and onto the hotdog.

[@artieloveeee]

“You know I would running that like the navy” 😂😂💀

Looking forward to my first-ever Costco experience, starting with this Chicken Bake and Hotdog idea next week! Thanks for the inspiration!

You deffinitely must try Czech chips with mustard flavour from Hobža. They are addicting. Kettle chips should be, how they are prpered. They are much more crunchier. And are tinner.

I suggest next time going in and talking to them when you’re looking for something special, not the drive through. You’re more likely to get what you want when you can smile and ,are eye contact with someone. You’re asking them for a favor after all. Culturally, it’s more polite here to do that.

In the 90s it was a chocolate sponge, with chocolate mock cream in the middle and then a yummy frosting! Wasn’t that sweet either! 80s was a vanilla sponge, with mock cream and a white icing!

The Reese cookies are the reason you were shocked when the mini Doritos can was full because this is the norm. If you saw the size of the bag it actually would be, people would never pay $15 for it. They say it's because things settle...That's another way of saying we're going to keep doing it...
