Winning Food from Claw Machines in Japan

[@fifisteiner2812]

Some of those took an awful lot of tries. I applaud the dedication

[@kasuroperation6590]

and money amount spent

[@ililililililililliil]

I imagine this to be like a messed up scene in SAW where you have to gamble for your food. Or like slaves being treated this way. The idea of "winning" food sounds disturbing in my mind

[@cassy420blaze]

What is he going to do get his money back? Stupid mf LOL😂 he has to play the game once the money is put in DUHHHHHH

[@unknowncreature-0069]

Well I'm pretty impressed that these were winnable at all! In the US they're always rigged.

[@the_other_seto_kaiba]

@@ililililililililliil In your next life, you could be reborn into a cave man and will have to hunt and kill for food before getting eaten by a sabertooth cat or trampled on by some wooly mammoth. Then at that moment, you will wish for something like a grocery store in the future. But you have to be reincarnated as a caveman first, restart.

[@snowysnowyriver]

Oh dear......I knew what was going to happen when the Fentiman's bottle was shaken! 😱 It's a British premium brand which is very nice. On another note, the owners of these machines must make an absolute fortune in profits!!

[@MissCaviar]

Very surprised to see a machine with Fentiman's in it. :)

[@positronixartandlife4545]

I had to pause and laugh when I saw them, absolutely love Fentimans (especially the cherry cola)

[@theJackman121]

Who gets soda and shakes it?

[@orientalmoons]

Really surprised to see Fentimans drinks in Japan! I was just drinking their ginger beer this lunchtime in a rural pub in England.

[@RudeMonster]

@@positronixartandlife4545 the cherry one is also my fave, i get discount in waitrose (family member works there) and I always wait till the giant bottle go on sale and get discount ontop :D

I was so disappointed that the giant piece of candy wasn't actually a giant piece of candy

[@Left4Coragem]

I almost prefer it to be smaller, just so it was an actually big (but not giant) candy inside. :P

[@StellaPurple]

that's gonna cost $100 i think

[@sherriv4860]

Me too... I wanted to see the person bite a chunk off the huge candy 😅

I've tried those giant Feroco Rocher chocolate balls... it's not worth it.

It's insane just how far more forgiving and generous these machines are compared to the ones I've seen here in America.

[@davyk515]

I mean, they're snacks. How much should you really have to pay?

[@NecromancyForKids]

There are some very terrible odds games in Japan, but they're mostly for bigger prizes like figurines

[@never_Sleeper25]

​@@davyk515The cheapest Japanese yen is 98 yen (small size, single item), but it is more expensive than 150 yen if you buy it at a convenience store.I am Japanese. I am translating, sorry if there are any strange parts😅

[@irtbmtind89]

These machines are programmed to hit payout percentages just like any other claw game. The wholesale prices of most of these prizes is probably less than 1 US dollar so it's easier to win. I suspect these machines have a much higher turnover and take in much more money than a typical American machine too.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Well it did cost $24 USD for 2 bags of chips with 31 failed attempts. I don’t really call that forgiving.

[@alvinkoh5460]

😥You poor thing. See - your example is the type of thing I 🍁don't mind spending my tax dollars in medically supporting. It's not your fault that you eat all that delicious candy that put you into a coma! *Edit: As long as you film it

[@Miri92123]

Same lol

[@ChesterManfred]

Those machines look definitely fun to try. The creative thematics and games, the prizes, the pristine and colorful designs, everything is so attractive to play. I respect the dedication, and money put into this video just for entertainment.

[@kateluxor2986]

I got so excited when I realized what you were really going for at the all chocolate claw machine: the chocolate tower. I was so rooting for you guys to get it. Then..chocolate candies and bars raining on down from heaven!!! Okay, maybe not heaven, but you really cleaned up with all that chocolate!!! I also thought the giant, twisted at each end gum was so cool. I loved this video!!!

[@pre4edgc]

Coming from an arcade background, it's really important to scope out the machines first, do some basic simulations in your head about how it can turn out when playing, and decide then if you want to play. When I went to Japan, I came back with an absolute haul of figures, bags, pillow cases, and t-shirts from crane games for under 5000 yen. I completely avoided any games that looked similar to the ones at the end of your video, knowing that wedging is a thing that totally happens and is the intended design to claim your money. If you start playing games without trying to properly scope and simulate, you'll have a wallet-emptying time, no matter what country you're in, though. The same applies to US crane games of all kinds: they are designed to make money, not let you win. If you win every time, it means WHAT you're winning was paid for in spades by the cost of your single play (see: rubber duck cranes, where each rubber duck costs the business ~$0.02 per duck, if not less, and you're paying $0.50+ per play).

[@TheDarkMiasma]

More video’s like this please. I love watching you two go out and do things like this. And there should be another youtube channel with the raw video of all the things you guys did not show in the video.😊

[@Megan-zi9tf]

Aw, the little napkin white flag of surrender 😊 Love watching you and your partner having fun, so relaxing! Much love from Canada!

[@suddenlycrows]

Holy crud that chocolate haul was amazing! 24 tries too. The dedication is something else.

[@sanashi27]

Those games look difficult but fun and the prizes look delicious! The chocobar tower though... I'd lose my money to that if I ever tried. Those brands look expensive (and here in the country I live in, they probably are).

[@TheRiordane]

Meji is quite cheap and affordable chocolate in japan - it's around 100 - 200 Yen which equals like a dollar or two.

[@sanashi27]

@@TheRiordane I live in the Philippines and chocolates that are branded and not local cost quite a bit so to me the chocolates in the video seem more expensive.

[@fermageehamilton1402]

Doesn’t matter what age any one is, this place is fantastic. I tell you, Japan never fails, such a cool and beautiful country ☺️

[@KotaJMomo]

When I go back to Japan, I want to do all of this! (Stuff I rarely got to do all the times visiting as a kid)

[@bonk8506]

It's insane how you can win something in one go and get a total bargain or then spend $23 on a bag of crisps you could easily get for $4 or something lol. However I will ignore what I just said and continue playing these types of machines since they're extremely fun >~

[@pokehybridtrainer]

If getting snack food had to be won, would be all over this. Very nice to see more of these arcades.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

If anyone watches CDawgVA, he does a lot of crane game challenges and you can see how difficult some of those machines are. Watching these give me anxiety, so I'm relieved you didn't show every attempt 😂 Of course he plays for different prizes, those machines aren't made to make things easy.

[@m_agik]

Oh my gosh, I was thinking the same thing! Connor needs to do a vending machine food review lmao.

[@TBaker-xu5is]

Don't forget that a lot of Sanrio stuff he gives to IronMouse - especially Cinnamaoroll Minori does these too and she does Gacha machines as well.

[@alexisepstein201]

The Zone energy grab by the plastic was so freaking impressive!

[@WimpyMcWeaksauce]

I'm imagining some dystopian nightmare where all grocery stores lock their food behind crane games in the future. You have to spend your whole weekend and thousands of dollars just to feed your family.

Love these machines. Such fun. Would love to see you go back to that huge place you went to maybe 2 years ago, where you won a cake. It would be fun to see what's new there.

[@ichigoeater]

No matter where you go, if there are claw machines, there will be scammy claw machines. I don't even bother trying if there's something expensive inside, because it's still there for a reason.

[@ruikaeni.5271]

Oh lord, as tasty as everything looked that you featured in this video. I never would have spent anywhere near what you did to win all of them from the machines, as I don't consider anything worth it beyond 1 to maybe 3 attempts. Although that tower of chocolate bars would be an exception. Either way tho, glad you had fun there!

It would be banned for being too advanced for the natives to use, their minds and thought processing skills would be too complicated for them on how to obtain prizes without smashing the expensive machines. And then some Karen would sue you for edible items.

Hmmmm... those machines do look like they're a lot of fun, and therein lies the problem! They are a form of gambling, essentially and more often than not, the player spends far, far more trying to win something than the actual prize/product is worth. Such machines, filled with soft toys (which are all I've seen here in the UK) are bad enough, where most players give up eventually if they don't win, such machines filled with snacks and drinks are temptations not so easily resisted!

It's all rigged. There are a bunch of settings they can adjust and now they do it over wifi. They adjust wins based on time of day and day of the week. Best way to teach kids is to give them $10 to either buy something they want or chance it on a gaming center. When they loose $10 in under 15 minutes then they will learn.

[@alext6933]

​@@DirtyRobothah that might convince most but others would just want another $10

That was the price in the corner was, though, down to a count of attempts made. Unless you mean also adding in how much the prize would be if you straight out bought it.
