The Worst / Weirdest Halloween Candy

[@phantomstrider]

Thank you so much for all the warm welcomes back 🙂 It's my privelege to still be here and still doing what I love. The next planned video is the "worst to best classic spongebob" but there's 115 episodes and I'm not going to do a shoddy job with them. So it may be the first 2-hour video on this channel 😆 If it takes too long I'll bring you another side-project like this in between 🙂 Thank you so much for welcoming me back. I couldn't be more honored by the support that let me stay here 🧡

[@MateriaGirl]

@@iamthemurray16 Idiotic take, completely braindead. He said "hey I need to make more money or I cant do this" and people decided to fund him enough that he can do this. What on earth does it matter how long that took? How long does he have to hide in a closet until it's ok with you?

I feel like I should express this, I'm almost 19 now so when you first started uploading lists I was only nine. I genuinely grew up watching you and I'm so glad to see things working out for you now - I'd love to support you myself when I'm able.

Well the rumors of his extinction were slightly exaggerated. He just wanted a little peace and quiet. 😆 (Spyro version of the quote 😆)

[@Spiderlizardqueen.6394]

So glad the channel is still continuing!! Me and my husband love the channel and learning new things both about food, cartoons, and other countries (Australia). Hope your channel continues to flourish and remains for years to come! Love how each video shows dedication to viewers by providing a high quality made video combined with effort put into research for each segment. Again, so happy your back!

I have to wonder if that soap-flavored gum was intended to be used as a form of corporal punishment, like when old-school parents made their kids scrub their "filthy mouths" with a bar of soap for things such as swearing or backtalk.

[@alexanderklepp]

I love that so many supported you to save your channel. I understood your struggle and I’m sure that’s something a lot of KZbinrs who make a living off the platform can relate to even if I’m not one myself. I think as creators of anything it’s relatable to feel like nothing we ever do is good enough. Seeing so many donate to your Patreon reminded me of George Bailey receiving all the money thanks to his good deeds and overall character. It really shows how doing good can benefit you when you’re at your lowest. Also, I have to say I love the food related videos as they are really fascinating.

13:14 Apparently, Jelly Belly thought Skittles was onto something with the Zombie Skittles, and they needed more variety of bad flavors. 😖 That or they were inspired by Harry Potter’s “Every Flavor” Beans.

[@toonorochi]

Funny thing is the gross flavored beans were originally part of a cross promotion with Harry Potter but because a lot of people where making dares to find and eat gross beans they made them a standalone product while the Harry Potter branded ones can still be found on universal parks

[@deniseboldea1624]

Welcome back Strider! A note on double Bubble, the Bazooka Joe and his Gang Comics have indeed been around since the gums early days. In the 60s and 70's you could save the comics and turn them in for prizes. Problem was not only did the gum lose its flavor quickly, but the more you chewed it the harder it became. My jaw would be sore after 5 minutes. BTW, If you ever had Sweet Potato pie, it taste very similar to Pumpkin pie.😊
