I like when 'healthy food' always writes ALL of the 'benefits' on the box. A stick of fruit mush that is jellified? "Wow guys no gluten no nuts no fat" Why stop there?! No tar, no uranium, no soot, no scrap metal pieces from the old machines in the factory most of the time.
I bought some dark chocolate for my Mum and in the packet everywhere it said 'gluten-free'. Mum's comment: 'Of course it's gluten-free, it's chocolate!'
speaking of jelly condensed fruit mush, know what make fruits sweet? its sugar. you just condensed a bunch of sugar, good job, but since it was made of like, many apples and apples are healthy, then its healthy, right?
@@PedroBenolielBonito yes but no. Some chocolate additives contain gluten. With lots of bars its as they may contain as they're made in the same factory as a bar contains a gluten additive.
The "Health" aspect of that box can be seriously questioned. Alot of the "not included" ingredients are only necessary to exclude in case of food allergies, there's no health benefit to avoid it otherwise. And non-GMO only matters if you're sensitive to chemicals. GMO-plants are usually hardier and can be sprayed with insect killers in a heavier dose than non-GMO-plants. And "vegan" doesn't automatically mean "good" or "healthy". It just means no animal products.
jentzi23 I feel the overly broad use of ‘chemicals’ in the mid there brings down the overall high quality comment of rationality. I’d ask you to replace it with ‘certain pesticides’ to match the correctness of the rest.
jentzi23 Yeah, they fucked up and put a load of vegan junk food in rather than actually healthy food. (I realize that "vegan junk food" is redundant in a way)
In reality GMO plants are just as thoroughly cleaned as non GMO to be below the maximal quota of leftover pesticide on surface. The only real difference would be if it was from organic farms, those tend to limit their pesticide use to minimum. Still, in reality the difference is close to nonexistent and I would argue non-GMO are inferior, it's just a stupid fad because "hurr durr science bad we dunn understand".
I suppose that’s fair. Bioshock is my favorite video game franchise and I can acknowledge the flaws. It’s less interesting to talk about a series that’s universally praised.
Glad to know someone else likes the horror manga master. Holes is probably my favorite , but I do love the short where the ghoul goes to the wrong apartment , then says "Oh, sorry" then phases through the wall.
@CactusCubing it's in a shorts collection called "seeds of anxiety" then the chapter " visitors" the the actual short is called " the visit ll. It's only 3 pages long though
Did anyone else notice Lootbox stopped sponsoring videos? Seems like literally every single youtuber with more than 5 subs was sponsored by them 2-3 years ago
I think the ghost aspect from the early game was a holdover from the game's predecessor, System Shock 2, which despite being kinda jank nowadays still holds up as a sci-fi horror game. Specifically, in System Shock 2 the ghosts were explained as being your cybernetic interface picking up on psi-emanations or something, and in BioShock I think they were a side-effect of certain plasmids. Funnily enough, while some would claim that a lot of games were influenced by BioShock, I reckon said influence can be more closely attributed to System Shock 2. While BioShock was one branch of that particular tree, once upon a time EA was trying to develop a System Shock 3, which eventually evolved into Dead Space. If you look closely at the formula of the original Dead Space, you can see many strains of System Shock 2's DNA in the formula, alongside the aspects inspired by Resident Evil 4. And all of this isn't even getting into the 0451 philosophy and the prominence of the immersive sim genre. THAT is a rabbit hole for another comment. Also, gameplay-wise I feel like BioShock 2 is better than the original. Being able to offhand plasmids is an excellent spin on the formula, which is why it was brought over into BioShock Infinite. And in regards to BioShock as a series, even though the story technically ended with the Burial at Sea DLC (which addressed some of the mechanical issues of BioShock Infinite IIRC), a studio at 2K is currently working on "Parkside", which is apparently going to be the next BioShock game. And I really hope that it's not going to be an Alien Resurrection situation, and instead is actually good. Also also, that rendition of the Green Goblin reminds me a little too much of Meg Mucklebones for my liking. "Come to Meg, juicy boy!"
Isnt the whole ghost memories thing some kind of passed down memory in the plasmids since they were taken from the blood of others? Im sure it was explained in an audiolog.
And what made Bioshock 2 even better was the Minerva's Den DLC (which they gave away for free on PC in the end). Such a good game. Also your explanation was exactly correct.
For a more recent reference, Subnautica is very "System-Shocky" in terms of atmosphere and storytelling (and possibly the only game in recent years with a sound design to match System Shock 2).

Marketing trying so hard to sound hip and coolos. Doesn't really matter because what really gets the consumer is curiosity as about what the thing tastes like and whether it holds its own as a junk food counterpart... Unless something is way beyond our grasp. Maybe the packaging-design must hold some esoteric meanings, phrasing a cryptic key which is only understood by insiders. Because the sacred standards of the Healthy Snack Deity dictate so.
Stuart is probably going out of his way to wake up early these last days of the year to make sure he falls asleep before the new years celebration begins.
rather than 'healthy' its more like, less unreasonably unhealthy snacks for people who want to feel morally superior for blindly following a health fad, but which can occasionally be a lovely little snack outside of the norm
you shouldnt be miffed at that. its just called marketing towards profitable target groups and good business. the whole concept of health got bought out long ago, its just that nobody knows what healthy is anymore
Eggs generally used to be sold by dairies. I'm old enough to remember always getting eggs left with the milk by the milkman, and getting them from a local dairy, too. Our local butcher still sells eggs, by the way. This is Britain. We do things differently here. Not better or nicer, but differently.
It's always really reassuring when they put "fresh baked" on packaged food items, In case you were worried that it wasn't fresh when they baked it or, rather than bake it they chose to warm it up in a trash can.
Yeah, those Stinger stroopwaffles are amazing, honestly. A good treat occasionally, and they also do dark chocolate dipped versions. The seed crackers are also super good. I might actually have to try that box!
Hope you enjoyed the fact that that $60 hello fresh giftcard is useless to British residents as you'll be getting another one in the next crate like I did.
I tried to use it, its a scam anyway, its the same discount as their regular promotional discount, just stretched over 3 months instead of receiving it all at once as per their tv ads. Still cheaper to just go to the grocer and get food you want
Better yet, it is kind of a lootcrate in itself. Subscription based, and as the 60 dallores americano are spread out over 3 20 dollar "gifts", you probably have to subscribe for at least a year to use it. Makes me wonder how much Lootcrate got for that. At least you can try to sell the lootcrate shit if it does not fit your taste.. Secondhand foodstuffs seems a bit weird.
Those Lenny and Larry's cookies are lifesavers. They could be way better. But, they keep you full. Have a few stashed in the car to eat while stuck in traffic to avoid pulling into a fast food joint.
The hell Stuart ya git. Besides the fact that you uploaded this at a time that isn't 2 at night, it is still December too! Has the world gone absolutely mad?!
so i know the figure isnt the best quality (the little sister one) but im surprised you didnt mention you were happy it wasnt one of those pop figures with the oversized heads
I’ve had a few of them from that brand. They’re very hit or miss. They make a peanut butter cookie that’s pretty good, but their chocolate chip ones are meh at best
I was glad to have a 27 minute video to watch while I did chores, but then I realized the last half is always good boxes. I wish Ashens would seperate the food boxes and other boxes like he used to.
The sword is one of Zoro's from One Piece, Wado Ichimonji or literally "Straight Road of the Harmony" which is what it's called in the book. It's the sword he's held on to for the entire duration of the series and since childhood as it originally belonged to Kuina.
Stuart, you were correct on the shirt! It's a fight apparently between Boruto(who is Naruto's son) from the show of the same name, Monkey, and the protagonist of My Hero Academia.
A local store sells those "Lenny & Larry" cookies, and seeing one in this video made me, for some demented reason, curious to try one. Although the one I got was just plain chocolate chip. My first reaction after taking a bite was "this tastes medical to me". Seriously, it's got a weird hard-to-describe flavor that reminds me of hospitals for some reason.
...And yet delivered by the milkman. Dairy is nearest - eggs aren't meat (although sold by some butchers, still), or vegetable. What they are is perishable, like dairy produce, and so are sold as such.
@@brianartillery Nope. Not sure why you're doubling and tripling down on this. Dairy = milk products and that's that. Most people learned this in primary school.
21:56 Incredibly, with such a high quality packaging, they managed to misspell the quote author's name. Or is Vincent Van Gough from the same family of Nicolas Amarty and Mr. Bottom Tile?
must be a thing with "healthy" cookies. a health food store here sells cookies that i tried once, they tasted ok but had the consistency of cookie dough, they were so soft and doughy
Last thing, the pouch for the lanyard is basically perfect size for a US DMV issued ID, driver's license, or similar. Especially useful for those under 18, because in the US Minor's IDs are oriented in portrait, while adult ones are oriented in landscape.
Also, why don't you do the Toy Boxes anymore? They were my favorite since you generally liked or were at least interested in everything in them! That's way more fun to me than hearing you be confused or clueless or annoyed... Please bring back the 80s/90s Toy Box crates, if you have the option to do so!
In all honestly I love all 3 bioshock games, infinite gets shit on a lot but if you play the dlc it seriously ties everything together. The remastered edition has the games looking beautiful and a joy to play again. Some of my top favorite games.
The larry cookie thing is meant to be like a cookie protein bar (and even then there is too much sugar to justify that) so the flavor isn't going to be the best. I've had a few and did also wonder why it is so doughy and falls apart. They make brownies that are much smaller and much better in every way in my opinion.
Strange how on the cookie packaging they used a dagger (†) to denote the second foot mark (instead of ¹ and ² or * and **), it has largely gone out of style.
They actually sell the rest of that brownie line at grocery outlets here in the states. The fig bars are super tasty. P: Rounds out a mid-day work lunch.
Haha I enjoy those cookie things. Just during car trips when I need something filling and noshy. It's got that grainy texture presumably because it's half protein powder.
Ah, my absolute favourite an-nee-may and mayn-gae character of all Luhfee from Onae Piece! (Seriously, it was hilarious hearing Luffy pronounced that way, but in all fairness, I think most people would pronounce it like that before they actually heard it said properly)
I eat those brownies all the time. I really like them. I also like the cookie. You have a weird sense of taste. :P Anywaiz, I think a lot of this organic, non-GMO, gluten free, dairy free ect... stuff is mainly marketed towards people who don't have allergies or dietary restrictions. All the packaging s wacky instead of it just being sold as regular food. The fruit leather is an old timey candy. Maybe they don't have it in the UK?
I saw a bunch of those complete cookies on clearance at the store. Sadly I bought one for .25 cents and it was regrettable. Way better to make your own protein cookies at home.
In the U.S., if a product does not include actual chocolate, the manufacturer is prohibited from using the word "chocolate". When they don't, most just use the word "chocolatly" to get around this.
Isn't that sword quite literally a beaty stick with a hilt? I thought it was a bamboo training sword. So it hurts to get clobbered with, but doesn't kill people like a real sword would. (And isn't akibento some sorta lunch?)
I used to be a vegan for a couple of years. Many vegans didn’t like stuff over cooked or cooked at high temps. Many only use dehydrators to “cook” their food.
Stuart, if you ever read these: Monkey D. Luffy(pornounced "Loofy") ate the cursed fruit of the gumgum tree which gave him super stretching powers. Which is one of the ways characters in One Piece acquire super powers, eating cursed magic fruits. They also have weird cybernetics and stuff. Describing the show as half decent, that about sums it up. It's pretty entertaining and fun, but often tries too hard to be serious and that tends to be kind of jarring.
That cookie feels dense because thats essentially a protein bar in cookie form. Its not really a health snack if you eat it like a cookie. Its a workout food. Just a ton of calories otherwise.
Yum Earth makes loads of tasty snacks like those. I've never seen the ones you got there & they looked good. I'll have to keep on the look out for them.
The complete cookie is much better in frozen yogurt. But i will say i think the intended purpose is a meal replacement bar... Bur cookie shape.. why they chose to emulate something they couldnt achieve i have no idea... They should have just made them little compressed balls or something or a bar. To its credit as a meal replacement, it is quite filling
*violently rips brownie apart* it's just falling to pieces! also i'm sure someone has told Ashens this by now, but it's cause it's got dates in it. I kinda like it but it definitely doesn't taste like regular brownies

The half pops are really good in sea salt
I eat those brownies all the time. I really like them. I also like the cookie. You have a weird sense of taste. :P
Anywaiz, I think a lot of this organic, non-GMO, gluten free, dairy free ect... stuff is mainly marketed towards people who don't have allergies or dietary restrictions. All the packaging s wacky instead of it just being sold as regular food. The fruit leather is an old timey candy. Maybe they don't have it in the UK?
Not being able to make choices is sort of the core theme of Bioshock, if you kindly and all that.
I saw a bunch of those complete cookies on clearance at the store. Sadly I bought one for .25 cents and it was regrettable. Way better to make your own protein cookies at home.
Ah I do love Ashens tasting weird food (Healthpak)
"Idiot garbage" is now my favourite line.
In the U.S., if a product does not include actual chocolate, the manufacturer is prohibited from using the word "chocolate". When they don't, most just use the word "chocolatly" to get around this.
I really enjoyed Ashen's response to the schmaltzy marketing lingo that has been on all new food products lately.
The Day Today reference at the end was appreciated by us older viewers :-)
come to think of it, i wouldn't mind a junji ito box myself.
Isn't that sword quite literally a beaty stick with a hilt? I thought it was a bamboo training sword. So it hurts to get clobbered with, but doesn't kill people like a real sword would. (And isn't akibento some sorta lunch?)
Nice to see Ashens channeling classic Jerry Jackson in his Gus Fring death review.
I used to be a vegan for a couple of years. Many vegans didn’t like stuff over cooked or cooked at high temps. Many only use dehydrators to “cook” their food.
I appreciated the Day Today reference at the end.
Stuart, if you ever read these: Monkey D. Luffy(pornounced "Loofy") ate the cursed fruit of the gumgum tree which gave him super stretching powers. Which is one of the ways characters in One Piece acquire super powers, eating cursed magic fruits. They also have weird cybernetics and stuff. Describing the show as half decent, that about sums it up. It's pretty entertaining and fun, but often tries too hard to be serious and that tends to be kind of jarring.
I want a junji ito box so fucking bad, that man is a god damn gem on this earth...he also haunts my dreams.

Guide: Come on Homer, theyre made of raspberries and old newspaper
That cookie feels dense because thats essentially a protein bar in cookie form. Its not really a health snack if you eat it like a cookie. Its a workout food. Just a ton of calories otherwise.
With the honey cinnamon waffle you could have alternatively warmed it up over a cup of tea or coffee, to have a more gooey honey experience.
Angry Junji Ito is actually named Ida
I have had veagan bars that actualy taste of epoxy. Always wash hands properly after glueing.
That Pollos Hermanos thing is like dejavu to me... I have seen it before, maybe it had another design, but no idea where I saw it.
Yum Earth makes loads of tasty snacks like those. I've never seen the ones you got there & they looked good. I'll have to keep on the look out for them.
You're more than welcome to not know of any mainstream anime if you know things like Junji Ito. In the end you're the true MVP.
I found u again!!! I was here around like 20k when u did like dollar store reviews(which u might still do) but I am binging this all tonight!
22:50 Nature's Bakery used Pretentiousness. It's super effective! Critical hit.
The complete cookie is much better in frozen yogurt. But i will say i think the intended purpose is a meal replacement bar... Bur cookie shape.. why they chose to emulate something they couldnt achieve i have no idea... They should have just made them little compressed balls or something or a bar.
To its credit as a meal replacement, it is quite filling
*violently rips brownie apart* it's just falling to pieces!
also i'm sure someone has told Ashens this by now, but it's cause it's got dates in it. I kinda like it but it definitely doesn't taste like regular brownies
I actually like those cookies. To each their own, I suppose.
Egg is not dairy, hence why they mentioned both on the cookie packaging
Well,thats Decemer's loot shite done.Happy New year Ashens!!!
They referred to a Blu-Ray as a Blue Ray in that akibento box card thing. This displeases me greatly.
