      If you could somehow locate the source text document, you could Ctrl + F for "Shades of grey." and subtract the number of results from 50,000. I'm sure it was just copied and pasted stemming from the very first sentence though.

      Yeah it just a little ...ironic...no no that never the term but just kind of funny that he just says I not going to eat this because it off a few days and I could get sick and then years later takes a bit out of things literately decades old that probally could actually have things that could kill him.

    • @MiisterShane
      @MiisterShane 9 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      NineTailedLiligant it's probably more a case of opened vs unopened food. Food tends to last a while in its original packaging whereas if you get it out and leave it for a short period it can mould up pretty sharpish, that's my guess anyway.

    The gummy things you showed after the Calorie Mate stuff is called Mochi. It's a thick rice paste, sometimes with a savory (though in this case, fruity) jam-like stuff inside it.
    They are a bit flavourless on the outside, but they're REALLY good if you like the fruit involved.
    Also, the green pack is melon flavour.

      Eh, I personally found page 129 to be the height of the emotional development of the characters. It led into the climax yet described each character so perfectly and naturally beforehand, you never would've guessed. The climax itself gets too much attention I feel. I believe the little moments that further the development of the story as a whole are the most important.

    That expanding jelly sand (Sodium polyacrylate) is also used in soil to keep your plants watered while you're away. Just as in your video, it will soak up many times its own size in water, so if you have it mixed in with your potting soil, it will maintain a constantly moist soil until it dries, and also prevents overwatering.

    Around the 15:00 mark, I remembered a figure I had gotten from Japan that looked like the figure in the left. It was something like Street Rider or something, and it was a hollow rubber thing that had no articulation whatsoever, and it came with a hardback book that was entirely in Japanese, and I have no idea what they were from or if they were a real thing at all. And the fact that I couldn't read Japanese made figuring it out so much more complicated. But it had the exact same color scheme, and it had a similar belt. It had red eyes, too, and it had little spikes on its head. If you have any idea what I'm talking about, please let me know.
