Vending Machines Madness (World Foods) - Eric Meal Time

[@the_indelible_onion]

It would be interesting to see some behind the scenes of vending machine cookery such as where does the food come from, how and when the machines are stocked and so forth.

[@sasha-01]

@eric should do these as a special series or part of the vending machine video experience but you’ll have to ditch the rating score

[@cathpeterson1944]

when I was a child it was Saturday cartoons on the tv and nowadays Eric Mealtime with Megabrain kickstarts my Saturday mornings, another fab dinner guys 👍🏻

[@mh2801]

Great Father-son dynamic.👍

[@TheAmyplumpness]

Eric is a total Saturday love! Enjoy seeing his light and feeling the vibe!

看了佳人，反差是最大的，好期待最終的呈現！ youtubeei.com/watch?v=bNMAlXhkQ4o 心凌處女座完美主義又有點強迫正 希望當隊長不要太辛苦💗💗💗

[@jimajams7080]

TIM TAMS are biscuits, not cookies. That TimTam pack is the original boring one. My fave is the double choc, put in the freezer and then an opposite corner bitten off each end and use it like a straw in a coffee. The choc stays frozen with the inside all gooey. Now I want some lol.

[@shanice241]

Tim Tams are amazing! My favourite flavour is Double Coat. It’s the original but with double the chocolate.

[@thatgirl9532]

Tim Tams need to be sold internationally they are so delicious especially with a coffee in the morning!!

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

I'm lucky to have a store nearby that sells Tim Tams; yum yum.

[@Wholiganify]

From what I could tell, they look similar to what we call Penguin biscuits here in the UK, although Eric and Megabrain didn't show us the interiors, so I can't be sure.

[@sarabarelyhugs6187]

My local Walmart carried them for a while. They were amazing !

[@laraq07]

I got a few last year (?) I think but haven't seen them in my grocery store since.

[@slickbelge]

I love the father-son meals. Having grown up without those, this is oddly therapeutic to watch.

[@ericsurf6]

Thanks JJ!

[@michellegulson4187]

Great watch this morning! We so loved the mention from the Tim Tams and yes it was awesome meeting up we still talk about it! If you want some more let me know I’ll send u an Australian snack pack!

[@kettlekorn471]

I laughed pretty hard when you said the carbonara was heavy and the whole clump of noodles was stuck at the bottom. I think Megabrain would like carbonara much more if he had the real stuff freshly made.

[@60frederick]

Already to watch you choosing the meals at the vending machines is very interesting. Thank you very much, Eric, for sharing your wonderful documentary video with us.

[@HJW018]

Tim Tams with hot chocolate is heaven. Bite the opposing end and use it as a straw. or just dip it. It's amazing.

[@thesloaneranger1]

Carbonara is one of the easiest pasta dishes to knock up, with cheese, eggs, garlic, bacon..... but no cream! Alfredo sauce has cream, but for a quick and easy dinner, carbonara is my go-to. You should try making it yourself, as pasta from a vending machine will never reheat too well :( The Tom Yam soup looked good, but your face sure gave us the true review - I was laughing with you, not at you, i promise! lol! Keep up the great vids :D

[@138chumbucket]

Pasta Carbonara is spaghetti, some type bacon, and your cheesy sauce is actually an egg. You cook it until the egg thickens without curdling. There is cheese but it's usually the parmesan you top all Italian dishes with.

[@georgia19801]

So we finallly found something Eric won’t eat from a vending machine! Puffer fish 🐠!

[@MarcusD4444]

And horse meat. But he's completely OK with bugs, lol

[@georgia19801]

@@MarcusD4444 oh yes I forgot the horse 🐴 meat lol

[@cheryllcarter3072]

There are stores that carry TIM TAMS in the USA around the holidays

[@patrickhagan8244]

His son comes off as being really smart. I feel like he is.

[@jpbaley2016]

Eric, you certainly don’t hold back when you find a food revolting. I’m sorry for the epic fail after you seemed so happy after finding the soup. Good luck next time!

[@richardkarner5141]

Eric, I just needed to say thank you for all your hard work. I've been watching you for a few years now. I'm housebound due to multiple health issues. You always help me pass the time and transport me to different places and open my eyes to different foods. You really help me keep my spirits up. Thank you again.

[@snextime]

Awesome looking food you got. I usually snack during your videos.

[@jackiejenkins4078]

I really think you doing reviews on vending machines has made them cool and trendy again! It seem like new ones are showing up all the time now! Great job!! 🆕️🆒️😃👍

[@barbthomas4492]

I really enjoy watching Eric and Mega together. Good luck on your job interview!

[@dhruvsethi1811]

Best part about these vending machine is the presence of mega brain in there ! Get some!!

[@sharonpetty]

Love how the picture on the outside container actually matches the food you get. But, the soup you had me laughing til I cried. Your reaction..🤣😂As always nice when you have your son join you.

[@The5As7]

I don't really know why, but when your were trying to get the okonomiyaki I started to panic because I thought you weren't going to get it🤣. Good luck on your son's job. We have so many jobs in the States and no one wants them so it's good to see some one being a "go getter"! Stay safe guys.

[@CriticalEatsJapan]

Tim Tams are pretty dang good ;)

[@yorikun3435]

Eric + Food vending machines = Very interesting video for me

[@ttamachio]

Typical Saturday morning soaking in a hot bath watching a fresh Eric Meal Time!

[@ebsa123123]

Interesting lol

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Good luck on the job interview Mega.

[@stevecozzola]

Love all the stuff you got today barring the soup, but I digress. Thanks for the great video contest as always!

[@KimJayViet]

I always love Mega's laugh. He reminds me of my son, who is probably the same age. Sending good vibes in hope he gets the dream job he deserves so that you can take him out for a drink in celebration.

[@staceyarmstrong9101]

Try biting off each end of the Tim tams and dipping it in your tea or coffee and suck the liquid through the biscuit 🤤

[@getitherething.2653]

Try eating chocolate Tim tams and salt and vinegar chips at the same time - will change your world.

[@jasonhearn768]

Hey Eric and Mega! 🖐🙂 I'm loving these vending machine videos. Please keep them coming! 😎

[@LadyValrethgames]

Carbonara is an Italian Dish that has four ingredients for the most part

[@tonyboah1983]

Very good, new vending machines trying out and make a food out afterwards is the perfect mix when going in restaurants or food festivals. Big like 👍👏🤤 More of that

[@bigcountry259]

It’s always nice seeing you try dishes that I don’t get to see looked like he was enjoying himself just not sure about raw eggs though

[@shaynedewitt7947]

I enjoy when both you and the young man do the videos.

[@bsmith8943]

Good luck with the job search megabrain . Great video as usual. Wish we had vending machines like this in America.

[@jonwashburn7999]

Thanks again Eric. I seriously love the variety in Japan.

[@KuranIsAFantasyBook]

Carbonara: eggs, guanciale (pork cheek), pepper and pecorino romano (a salty cheese used in Rome)

[@J2M2Og]

Sometimes I try to pay attention to where these machines are at, so when (not if) I get to Japan, I can go find them. Of course, I also realize the futility of this because it's highly likely that things will be different when I arrive. Still, I appreciate Eric's dedication to showcasing quality vending machine foods that just aren't found in America.

[@raelenecreed5513]

Woohoo TimTams. One of Australia’s best exports

[@Og-Judy]

Too funny with the "shrimp soup" not tasting right 😛 Never had TimTams. Look really nice. Have a great day. 🤗👍🏻

[@ipwnyoudiehaha]

For those wanting to try Tim Tams in the UK, they are basically Penguin bars

[@lawtondljr2]

We all called it at 5. Just keep the videos coming. We all enjoy the content. You make for great discussions. Gives us "old farts" something to talk about. Thank you.

[@danielciech7971]

Words of wisdom, don't buy Tom yum soup from a vending machine. Lol great episode gentlemen. GET SOME

[@duncanbradshaw8993]

Farm reared and bred Fugu should be safe. It is the wild Fugu which becomes poisonous. The food it eats in the wild which makes it poisonous. Another good video.

[@ericsurf6]

Thanks Duncan! Next time I'll try it. ✔💯😇

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Good luck on the interview Mega.

I love biting off each end of tim tam and drinking tea or coffee through it like a straw its so yummy. Amazing video I always love watching.

[@natalief6661]

Two words. TimTam Slam 😂

[@TheeButtaDawg]

Eric, I'm sure by now you've eaten the rest of the Tim Tams, though, if you ever get the chance to retry them, there is something called the Tim Tam slam. You bite a corner of each side of the cookie and suck milk through it like a straw from a cup. Then eat it. Highly recommend if you ever get another Tim Tam on your hands

[@ericsurf6]

Next time I find Tim Tams I'll definitely try the slam. Thanks Butta Dawg

[@thomasfrank7027]

I had the spaghetti carbonara before it ok I like mine with red or green pesto with some oregano or rye seasoning. It's been a while since I seen you get takoyaki which one of those things you got needs wasabi or a hint o shoyu sauce on it your call 😃✌❤

[@DebJSydAus]

Loved seeing Megas reaction to the Timtams. Being an aussie, glad to see his reaction as they are our fav too. 😍

Any future plans to a production facility, farm, or kitchen to help show how some more of these items make it into vending machines? It's surprising that stuff from vending machines in Japan look so delicious! GET SOME!
