Woohoo, 11,000! I'm so excited for you. Its so great to see you growing so fast. I knew you would. Hope to see if we have any harvest like festivals near by, but if not, hope you have a video so I can live vicariously through you.
What comes next after moon watching? I guess maybe leaf viewing... And then Halloween is probably the next one burger chains will try to cash in on! ;)
Critical Eats Japan - Yes Sir, like the clear coconut yogurt (I know that one wasn’t from a machine) the unique flavors of Fanta, all the beer choices. And he amazing variety of hot foods and soups, and the snacks we can’t get in the U.S.
Looks like McDonald’s was too busy moon watching to perfect the burger! Haha. Glad the shake was good I love peach. Great video Paul and looks like a congratulations is in order for 11,000 subscribers! Way to go!
Haha! I think it might be a case of them having done it many times before and struggling to come up with something thematic and new... 11 kinda came without warning didn't it? ;)
Congrats on 11K! It was only like a week since you hit 10K! You are absolutely crushing it, my friend! Disappointed that the burger wasn't too good, though! It looks awesome in the pics and I thought the buttery bun would take it to the next flavor level, but unfortunately it didn't eh? But I do love the fry seasoning! Last time I went, I think they had sour cream and onion seasoning? That was pretty tasty! Keep up the great work and we'll see you at 20K very soon!
Thanks! Ronald always good intentions, but rubbery eggs ;) And I kinda hoped the bun would be butterier as expected. Oh well, here's hoping KFC pulls through for me again this year. The fry seasonings are always popular when I feature them on the channel. This one I actually brought myself as they stopped carrying them already ---hope there will be another soon... ;)
Thanks ---I hope they are useful, also I have got into the habit of trying to remind people of my pending Giveaways like this because it always sucks when you miss one ;)
Egg on a burger is just good. Can't explain it. You don't really even taste it 🤔 Looks good. I'd try it for sure. You should definitely spread out your giveaways since you are growing so fast now. Next one at 15k or 20k. I'm not even trying to suck up saying you are awesome. A giveaway every 1k was a lot of work (i imagine) and beyond generous. Thanks Paul. Keep at it and we will continue to support you. ❤
Egg is good ---with a soft yolk... not one of Ronald's hockey pucks ;) But yeah, I want to spread things out a bit, just been kinda hard with the recent growth. Not that I am complaining, mind you! ;)
11k! Yay! The burger looked good, simple. I think it might have benefited more with the sesame bun. The peach shake looked awesome. And I bet the fry seasoning was good too. I always get excited when my notifications go off for your videos. I think "I wonder what cool food he's going to show us today..."
They probably view the sesame bun as old school so decided to try something new... It was thematic, but overall noting special. The shake was great though ;) Thanks for always watching!
Maybe a giveaway at 15k then 20k and every 10k until 100k. I know other channels use a randomizer to pick the winners. I know I'd be at McDonald's regularly for that peach shake. They had a peach smoothie last year that was outstanding but sadly they discontinued it. I would have loved that Peach Fanta too. As if you didn't notice, peach flavor is my favorite. Thanks for the great videos and congratulations on 11k!
Yeah, I use a randomizer for my little giveaways, but I have made a whole thing out of rolling dice and eating sushi it will be hard to turn it over to a computer... Well, if you win the draw and want me to swap out the Fanta for a peach one, just let me know ;)
Thanks for the vid! Maybe go to a giveaway every 5k or 10k? Grats on the growth though! Happy to see your channel catching on and looking forward to many more vids!
Congrats on 11k Sir!! That was FAST!! Not sure about a new idea for milestones but I’ll try and think of a few things. Had to take a break from my channel for a couple weeks - life getting in the way. Plan to get back soon. Great video!! Burger looks meh but that shake looks VERY interesting. I also love the background info you share in your reviews. Learning a lot. Thanks for that.
I'm always worried I am misinforming people ;) Sometimes I even cut some comments I am not too sure about, just in case... Welcome back. Life should always come first
I just don’t know why we never get new stuff. That peach shake would do great here! Maybe going forward on milestones you eat something odd from the farmers market or street vendor something along those lines. ??? That’s all I got CONGRATS again
As far as the giveaways, personally I would enjoy a postcard or some critical eats stickers maybe, relatively cheap to purchase as well as ship. Just a thought!
You’re rocking this channel brother! Omedeto!! I’m so happy for you! I think you’re very generous with your giveaways, but truth be told, I’d still watch your videos, even if you didn’t have them. ☺️
Totally agree with you there, @Mindy's Mom! I love the channel and don't even bother with the giveaways. Not that the giveaways are bad, but I just enjoy Paul a lot more! Have you ever won anything from the giveaway?
Hi Paul Congrats on another successful “new subscriber” week!! It’s so awesome to see a fellow Canuck doing so well. 👍 Loving all the unusual and interesting eats you are sharing with us, so wish we had variety like that here in Canada!! Peach shake so amazing!! 🤗
Thanks so much. I was just in Canada a few weeks ago and it was so good to try some of the awesome stuff you do have ---at least from my point of view ;) I think I ate poutine 3 times!
The colour of the bun was so pretty! Too bad the burger itself was a letdown, but at least the shake seemed to make up for it. Congrats on 11k! Your channel is growing so fast! I don't have any suggestions, except doing giveaways every 10k instead of 1k, but I'm sure you've already thought of that. :)
I wanted it to taste more buttery than it did. That was part of their shtick... Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will slow things down a little now that we have reached 10
Congratulations on 11k! I wish we had the peach shake here. For the giveaway, it might be a good idea to celebrate every 5k and hold the prizes to 10. Oh, check out the Whitfield's Patreon community page. We posted a pic of the curry we made last night. We tried Java and it was very good. I don't like heat, so we'll probably mix Java with Vermont or maybe Kokumaro mild in the future.
Just saw that, thanks! I never get notifications for it so thanks for the reminder. Looks really good! I like the spicier ones ;) But I have noticed that when I make curry in my slow cooker it never seems to be as thick as just making it normally on the stove. Not sure why
My husband says the slow cooker draws more water out of the vegetables so it dilutes the curry. Additionally, none of the water escapes during cooking. He compensates by using 1 1/2 the amount of curry roux. One advantage of the slow cooker is that it will allows the flavors to develop fully. Have you tried adding Bulldog sauce or shoyu? We haven't and were wondering how that would taste.
I wish they had flavors like peach. The McD shakes are generally the standard vanilla/choco/strawberry types and Oreo and M&M McFlurries. I'd love to try peach or melon. It seems like the Golden Moon Burger is just something hastily thrown together with existing McD ingredients.
Peach was a specialty flavour ---we also have the standard ones but only an Oreo McFlurry... unless there is some sort of campaign going on where they bring out a new one... And yeah, they have a moon burger every year and it is usually made up of existing items, though the sauce may vary... and this time the bun
Another great video! Not a fan of egg personally but it looked amazing as did the fry seasoning and shake. Your channel is growing so fast it’s amazing! Looking forward to future ones 😁
Critical Eats Japan it’s a texture issue for me more than flavour or anything else. Wish I liked egg I just can’t do it. That’s a shame about the egg being hard. If you’re ever east of the Mississippi you should check out a chain called Steak ‘n Shake they have a royale burger you might like with an over easy egg on it.
tbh one of my favorite things to do is go outside and look at the night sky, I might even say I'm envious of past generations who lived such simple lives. That said, I like bacon and eggs on my burger too...so burgers and stars it is, light pollution be damned.
Yeah, get out of the city. My friend moved to a farm and tells me how clear it is all the time... except for the clouds recently. But I did catch a glimpse of the moon last night
Wow that golden bun looks fantastic 😍 disappointing that it wasn’t as good as what you would have hoped but it sure looks great. We have shaker fries here in Australia, and it’s ok, not the best.
it was supposed to be buttery, but I didn't really get that... Yes! I have seen Aussie reviewers do the shaker fries ---it's interesting that we sometimes get similar things... maybe different flavours, but similar. Other countries are so jealous of our covetedshaker fries too ;)
Congratulations on 11K! I know you didn't even have the drawing for 10k yet. Yummy peach shake! I would love to try through wild bbq! But congratulations again! 👍👍👍❤❤❤
Nice review I think the burger looks different and the peach shake sounds really good wish they had those in the USA McDonald's Japan always gets such unique items
They are always changing up the menu. It's sad when something you like is gone forever, but when duds come by at least they are only here for a little while ;)
Thank you for trying the newest Tsukimi collection :p Peach milkshake sounds extremely refreshing to me >v< Congratulations on 11k. Onwards on the path to a million and more. Giveaway can occur whenever you feel like good enough exotic products have come in the market. Whatever suits yourself :)
I saw this Tsukimi burger the other day. I haven't gotten around trying it yet. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. I had the peach shake last year but it wasn't a triple peach. That also looks awesome.
Gotta go for gold. I think a breakfast burger is interesting, I'm surprised Japan does the mix of the two a lot. Thought it was more a American forte haha. Great vid!
In one of my early vlogs I went to a secondhand guitar shop to get a new case for my bass, I really should go to something like that again, maybe take more time looking around...
What other (new) special Moon watching foods and drinks are around in Japan at the moment? Are you going to try and review some more of them? I would really be interested to see that. :-) In Germany Chinese Moon cakes were sold already in July. I was told at the Asian shop that this was normal, so to send them to family and friends in time for the Moon festival.
This is the first of the fast food joints, but I expect more to be announced soon. I reviewed several last year so I think I will only check out others if they are exceptionally new... However I do have my hopes on KFC delivering something good again this year. Somehow I wanna say that the Chinese moon cakes are something different, like for New Year, but I really don't know... maybe I'm thinking of something else... sorry, not sure
Ah, okay, I have to check them out. - I mentioned the moon cakes because the moon watching festival was done in China first. I tried a moon cake which I took home filled with lotus (they had different ones there) but I did not like it.
They do have large things of both Japanese and foreign origin. Some things, like cereal, I wish they had a better selection of, but overall it is different but not bad
I wish we have burger buns like that here. The ones here at McDonald's are always too dry. It's too bad you cannot send any triple peach shakes here with your giveaway. Sounds very tasty! Can you do a quick video review of your daily driver? I'm always interested in seeing local market only vehicles.
Maybe a giveaway every 5k and 5 winners for each... Also, items such as postcards, fry seasoning (and why not some critical eats Japan stickers) are easy and cheaper to send and I'm sure people would love them. Congratulations on the 11k 🎉
Nice suggestion ---5 (or less) is more what I was thinking. 10 is a lot of work ;) I am a food channel so snacks are the logical choice, but I'm always interested in cheaper and easier things to mail. Thanks!
As for that Golden Moon burger, not too sure about the bun. Would try on a sesame seed bun. Also, the peach shake looks amazing!! With the giveaway, I would do the next at 20K, than 30 etc. Good luck with your giveaway and thank you for the shout out!! Really appreciate it!! 😎😁 Good luck to everyone in the contest!! 😀
Looks pretty tasty, actually! Maybe celebrate the milestone with fancy sushi or a dice generated ramen selection. Also, hold off until 15k to do another
That burger looks good a breakfast burger lol and I'm eating McDonald"s watching this having the new sweet and spicy glazed tenders and they are pretty good and I"m digging on that car tray wish I had one of those.
For breakfast, yes. Oh yeah, those tenders looked so good when I saw others review them. I got the tray on Amazon for like $12 or something... check it out
Same here! Eggs on burgers all day! I just wish it was runnier! Yes, it's messy and you'll get yolk all over your fingers, but that just adds to the eggy experience :)
If they're gonna do egg on a burger, they need to cook the egg correctly - gotta have that runny yolk or it's just not right. :D So, Paul, I love that you do these giveaways, you're one of the most generous channels I watch. The best part of it is, you're sharing stuff that those of us not in Japan want to try so we get a chance to try it too. I disagree with some comments saying the giveaways are boring and that you shouldn't do them. That said, I can see why you'd want to slow them down, you are already at 11k, just since posting this video, you'd be doing weekly giveaways at that rate. I think you should select a much bigger milestone going forward. Maybe 25k, 50k & 100k, something like that. At this point, I think it's totally fine to keep it to just a few items too and decide how many are comfortable for you to do, in regards to how many winners there will be. I did a giveaway when I hit 100 subs and my winners didn't even contact me or answer my messages, so I found it a bit disheartening and have been wondering how to do future giveaways myself. I'm growing very slowly, so I have tons of time to think about it. ha ha ha Finally, I love watching you roll the dice too, but maybe there's a different way to use them to come up with the winners? Thanks for all you do, keep the cool vids coming!
Yes! But alas, Ronald only know how to cook an egg one way, like a hockey puck ;) And thanks, you totally get what I am trying to do. I want to keep doing giveaways, but big ones like this are starting to get too big or too frequent to continue with the same method. I do love rolling the dice though, so I will have to figure out how to use them in future videos somehow at least. Thanks for all your support on my channel. If you decide to do another giveaway in the future, let me know and I'll help get the word out by letting my viewers know
You've got the right idea, friend! Japanese sad bacon is the bane of my existence here! Everywhere you go, it's that soul-less bacon masquerading like it's the real deal! The only place I've been able to find real bacon is at Costco, but they're usually pre-cooked and cost $20 for 2 lbs or so!
Tell me about it! The worst part is that it doesn't bite cleanly! So sometimes, you'll bite into the sandwich and pull away, only to find yourself pulling the whole strip out of the sandwich, leaving you looking like some kind of barbarian with a floppy strip of meat hanging from your mouth!
Hey man. Great video. Lots of new stuff. I don't think I would be a fan of a egg on a burger. We had what looked like a pretty full moon last night. Shake sounded good. Ya your channel is really taking off. Poor guy. Lol, but ya could see the issues you talked about. Peace.
Fries sound very good and the peach milkshake would be so refreshing. But the Golden burger just doesn’t sound that good. Will go check out Jackie’s channel.
I usually do milestone giveaways, but it's usually digital goods and it's a tiny channel so they don't happen very often. Perhaps choose 'flat' items that will post at a letter rate rather than parcel. It's difficult I guess to find small, light items - even a bag of crisps/chips has size against it when it comes to posting. Every 5k up to 25k then 50k 100k etc is way more scalable. Once you hit the magic algorithm number of subs the channel will get pushed more by yt so growth can be exponential, larger intervals won't take as long to reach.
Hmm, food is kinda what I do on the channel, but i guess Japan in general also works as a theme ;) Maybe I can get some unique Japanese stickers or stationery. That might be interesting. I do like your math and your logic!
Hello Paul I would love to try the 3 Peach Milkshake drink. I love MCD Milkshake specially Banana. I would love to have Peach flavoured Milkshake here in the UK. Also wish the UK MCD had French Fries flavourings. I love Peaches so I know without a doughy I would love the milkshake. Keeping my fingers crossed in winning the giveaway competition as I adore tangy flavours more than anything else. If I don't win then it's still fun to have a go and enjoy the hype. Good luck everyone who has entered. Awesome video Paul. Shame the Burger wasn't up to scratch. I also love soft boiled eggs best. Better to stick bread in to mop it up yum! I 😋 I so want to try Onsen eggs once I get chance to visit Japan and I will even try raw egg too. OMG I'm making myself hungry lol lol 😁😁😁 take care Paul. Xx
Yeah, the burger looked so good, but not really that great on flavour... The hard yolk especially, didn't do anything for it. I hope KFC does a good one again this year. And good luck in the draw!
Congratulations on the 11k man. U are blowing up and I’m so proud for u Paul. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!!! Thanks for the videos!!!
Thanks for all your support! My goal was to hit 10K by the end of the year, so I am happy to have had so much help getting there early ;)
Woohoo, 11,000! I'm so excited for you. Its so great to see you growing so fast. I knew you would. Hope to see if we have any harvest like festivals near by, but if not, hope you have a video so I can live vicariously through you.
What comes next after moon watching? I guess maybe leaf viewing... And then Halloween is probably the next one burger chains will try to cash in on! ;)
That peach shake sounds delicious! The direction I would like to see you go is more vending machine videos. I just find them fascinating. Thank you
I've done a few in the past. What things do you like about them? Interesting drinks?
Critical Eats Japan - Yes Sir, like the clear coconut yogurt (I know that one wasn’t from a machine) the unique flavors of Fanta, all the beer choices. And he amazing variety of hot foods and soups, and the snacks we can’t get in the U.S.
From picture to reality, Donald never fails to disappoint !
Heh-heh, yes, Donald... ;)
congrats on 11k subs!!! wow!!!!can't believe how fast ur channel is growing, I subscribed to ur channel back when you still had 3k subs.
Oh wow! Yeah, that was a while ago ---we've shot up in the past few months, eh? ;)
Looks like McDonald’s was too busy moon watching to perfect the burger! Haha. Glad the shake was good I love peach. Great video Paul and looks like a congratulations is in order for 11,000 subscribers! Way to go!
Haha! I think it might be a case of them having done it many times before and struggling to come up with something thematic and new... 11 kinda came without warning didn't it? ;)
you've already hit 11k :o that's amazing :D also i'd like to add the bun looks pretty cool
The bun was supposed to be buttery, but I didn't really get that... at least it did look the part ;)
Congrats on 11K! It was only like a week since you hit 10K! You are absolutely crushing it, my friend!
Disappointed that the burger wasn't too good, though! It looks awesome in the pics and I thought the buttery bun would take it to the next flavor level, but unfortunately it didn't eh?

A postcard would be really great. :-) Or more of them (2, 3, 4) in the future with more and more subscribers.
I have usually tried to focus on snacks since I am always eating them and not being able to share, but I like your idea! Thanks

Yes! I will eat a million plates of sushi! ;) Haha. But yeah, I like that idea ---kinda out of the blue and maybe just easier
Does the Golden Moon Burger taste like the Carl's Jr. Breakfast Burger? :) Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Even though I've never had a Carl's Jr breakfast burger, I'm guessing they taste better ;) Probably more flavourful at least
Peach shake sounds soooo good!!
Yeah I know so mad we can't get it here in the UK I love Peaches.
I think they had one before that I liked, but this was even better with triple the peaches ;)
I saw this Tsukimi burger the other day. I haven't gotten around trying it yet. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it.
I had the peach shake last year but it wasn't a triple peach. That also looks awesome.
I would hold out for the KFC one, if they do it this year... much better. The triple shake is much better than the one last year too ;)
I usually enjoy these burgers.
My wife loved that peach milkshake.
The shake was so good. And for me, these burgers can be hit or miss... ;)
I'm still amazed by the camera quality!😍😍 so amazing
Thanks ---it's a Canon M50 with 11-22mm lens
Gotta go for gold. I think a breakfast burger is interesting, I'm surprised Japan does the mix of the two a lot.
Thought it was more a American forte haha. Great vid!
It is an unintentional breakfast burger... But hey, once you add an egg... and bacon... what do they expect, right?
Heck yes another great sushi video for the give away lol The moon has been looking great lately lol.
Yeah ---let's hope
For the Small im sure demograph, you should do a guitar rig run down video and what its like buying gear over in japan. Id love to see your setup!
In one of my early vlogs I went to a secondhand guitar shop to get a new case for my bass, I really should go to something like that again, maybe take more time looking around...
Milestones are coming faster now lol.....congrats on 11k!
Here in London, U.K we have that bun on the fillet -o- fish burger
Nice! I really don't know what kind of bun we have here, but somehow I think it is like a cheap hamburger bun...
What other (new) special Moon watching foods and drinks are around in Japan at the moment? Are you going to try and review some more of them? I would really be interested to see that. :-) In Germany Chinese Moon cakes were sold already in July. I was told at the Asian shop that this was normal, so to send them to family and friends in time for the Moon festival.
This is the first of the fast food joints, but I expect more to be announced soon. I reviewed several last year so I think I will only check out others if they are exceptionally new... However I do have my hopes on KFC delivering something good again this year. Somehow I wanna say that the Chinese moon cakes are something different, like for New Year, but I really don't know... maybe I'm thinking of something else... sorry, not sure
Ah, okay, I have to check them out. - I mentioned the moon cakes because the moon watching festival was done in China first. I tried a moon cake which I took home filled with lotus (they had different ones there) but I did not like it.
Would love that peach shake. The burger, don’t care for egg on it but do like the no seeds on on the bun.
Fast food eggs are always rubber hockey pucks, but yeah, good shake ;)
another solid video, great as always!!!
Thanks so much!
Does Denny's in Japan have the Moons Over My Hammy sandwich? lol
Nobody would have a clue what that was if they did... ;)
Japan has Costco right? Do they have Japanese candies and snacks in bulk or do they offer the same stuff we have in the States? Just wondering..
They do have large things of both Japanese and foreign origin. Some things, like cereal, I wish they had a better selection of, but overall it is different but not bad
I wish we have burger buns like that here. The ones here at McDonald's are always too dry. It's too bad you cannot send any triple peach shakes here with your giveaway. Sounds very tasty!
Can you do a quick video review of your daily driver? I'm always interested in seeing local market only vehicles.
Do you mean my car? If so, hope this helps. Here's a little video of it just after I got it (second hand) th-cam.com/video/2bMWpIqIqh8/w-d-xo.html
Maybe a giveaway every 5k and 5 winners for each... Also, items such as postcards, fry seasoning (and why not some critical eats Japan stickers) are easy and cheaper to send and I'm sure people would love them. Congratulations on the 11k 🎉
Nice suggestion ---5 (or less) is more what I was thinking. 10 is a lot of work ;) I am a food channel so snacks are the logical choice, but I'm always interested in cheaper and easier things to mail. Thanks!
Great video. Wish they had fry seasoning here.
At least 10 people will get to try it. I hope some make videos too ;)
I just saw you on Ericsurf6. I was very happy to find you had a channel!
Thanks for dropping by!
As for that Golden Moon burger, not too sure about the bun. Would try on a sesame seed bun. Also, the peach shake looks amazing!! With the giveaway, I would do the next at 20K, than 30 etc. Good luck with your giveaway and thank you for the shout out!! Really appreciate it!! 😎😁 Good luck to everyone in the contest!! 😀
Woot!
Thank you! 😀😁
20 seems like a long way off... but at least I'll have time to get ready ;)
Critical Eats Japan Exactly would give you more time & be less stressful. Also it would save you $$$. 😊
Looks like a maccas breakfast burger we have here in Australia
Nice. They actually do have a similar burger marketed here too. I think it is on a muffin
Just subscribed! Saw you on Eric’s channel, love love love your content 💕💕
Thanks for swinging by ;)
11k very nice good job like the looks of that burger wish I could try one
Hey, when did you hit 11k? The rise is becoming faster! Congrats!
It kinda snuck up on us there... Things should start to calm down a bit though
Looks pretty tasty, actually! Maybe celebrate the milestone with fancy sushi or a dice generated ramen selection. Also, hold off until 15k to do another
Yes, yes, and yes. Great ideas! Thanks!
That burger look like pretty Patty from SpongeBob, but that peach shake sounds fantastic
Is that a good thing? ;)
Why can't they have these items in the states!? Great review!
Peach shake and fries sounds great.
I say every 5k now.I wish I could try that peach shake....omg that looks good
That burger looks good a breakfast burger lol and I'm eating McDonald"s watching this having the new sweet and spicy glazed tenders and they are pretty good and I"m digging on that car tray wish I had one of those.
For breakfast, yes. Oh yeah, those tenders looked so good when I saw others review them. I got the tray on Amazon for like $12 or something... check it out
Peach shake!!
Oh yeah? Floppy and warm I guess I can live with... but floppy and cold, I'll pass ;)
Got to have runny yoke...makes a big difference...maybe you can ask for it🤔
Hmm, yeah, interesting idea. I kind of just assumed it was something they couldn't do, but you never know... ;)
You should ask for the egg on the picture haha that one looked so tasty
Good point
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff, dude
Amazing I wanna try it
Probably only around for a few more weeks, but I'm sure the other places will be showcasing theirs soon enough
@@CriticalEatsJapan if only I lived in Japan
I hope they make the fry seasoning a campaign overseas eventually.
Yeah! We are about due for some more here too... Maybe next month they will have a spring flavour
I like egg on burgers so I would try this
Same here! Eggs on burgers all day! I just wish it was runnier! Yes, it's messy and you'll get yolk all over your fingers, but that just adds to the eggy experience :)
Yes, me too ---but not so much the hockey puck that Ronald tends to serve... ;) the yolk should definitely be soft
If they're gonna do egg on a burger, they need to cook the egg correctly - gotta have that runny yolk or it's just not right. :D So, Paul, I love that you do these giveaways, you're one of the most generous channels I watch. The best part of it is, you're sharing stuff that those of us not in Japan want to try so we get a chance to try it too. I disagree with some comments saying the giveaways are boring and that you shouldn't do them. That said, I can see why you'd want to slow them down, you are already at 11k, just since posting this video, you'd be doing weekly giveaways at that rate. I think you should select a much bigger milestone going forward. Maybe 25k, 50k & 100k, something like that. At this point, I think it's totally fine to keep it to just a few items too and decide how many are comfortable for you to do, in regards to how many winners there will be. I did a giveaway when I hit 100 subs and my winners didn't even contact me or answer my messages, so I found it a bit disheartening and have been wondering how to do future giveaways myself. I'm growing very slowly, so I have tons of time to think about it. ha ha ha Finally, I love watching you roll the dice too, but maybe there's a different way to use them to come up with the winners? Thanks for all you do, keep the cool vids coming!
Yes! But alas, Ronald only know how to cook an egg one way, like a hockey puck ;) And thanks, you totally get what I am trying to do. I want to keep doing giveaways, but big ones like this are starting to get too big or too frequent to continue with the same method. I do love rolling the dice though, so I will have to figure out how to use them in future videos somehow at least. Thanks for all your support on my channel. If you decide to do another giveaway in the future, let me know and I'll help get the word out by letting my viewers know
LOL, go outside stare at the moon and have a little party 😂😂😂
Oh yeah!
If you look at the roof in the back of the car it looks like it has 👀 hahah
Those two dots? It's a stretch... ;)
Are you from TGA, Ontario,
Is that Toronto General Area? Well, no ---to anywhere in Ontario. Though I guess I did live in Oshawa when I was about 5 or 6 years old...
So basically what you're telling me is that I have to travel all the way to Japan in order to go to a McDonald's that has a working ice cream machine.
Haha! Yes!
The icecream here is so much better than in America
Japan needs to get it together with that floppy bacon tongue. Can't you special request crispy bacon? 😂
You've got the right idea, friend! Japanese sad bacon is the bane of my existence here! Everywhere you go, it's that soul-less bacon masquerading like it's the real deal! The only place I've been able to find real bacon is at Costco, but they're usually pre-cooked and cost $20 for 2 lbs or so!
@@StraightUpEats That's terrible, I feel bad for you. A BLT must be a floppy, soggy mess in Japan 😂😂
Tell me about it! The worst part is that it doesn't bite cleanly! So sometimes, you'll bite into the sandwich and pull away, only to find yourself pulling the whole strip out of the sandwich, leaving you looking like some kind of barbarian with a floppy strip of meat hanging from your mouth!
I don't think they can crisp it up since it is a different cut. When they go fancy in the bacon game they usually go thicker, not crispier
Awesome video!!
Sweet channel man!
Thanks!
Hey man. Great video. Lots of new stuff. I don't think I would be a fan of a egg on a burger. We had what looked like a pretty full moon last night. Shake sounded good. Ya your channel is really taking off. Poor guy. Lol, but ya could see the issues you talked about. Peace.
Hard egg is bad, but soft egg is pretty good actually... ;) Haha, yeah, I know it's a rough problem to have, but I should survive
You should go to Yakiniku restaurant and try the different meats.
Yes, "we" should! ;)
So now you have you have two giveaways. 😉 Or maybe switch to 5000 new subscriber intervals.
Yeah, that was the question I guess... I've been doing the same method for the past few, I need to rethink it without shocking anyone too much ;)
Fries sound very good and the peach milkshake would be so refreshing. But the Golden burger just doesn’t sound that good. Will go check out Jackie’s channel.
Yeah, Golden Burger was very meh... :(
Future milestones = a spicy challenge
Oh yeah! 10,000 SHU?
@@CriticalEatsJapan haha i see what you did there. I think it would be a fun entertaining way to celebrate. Maybe not so much for you.lol
Triple peach shake. 😍
Did they have the regular one out when you were here? That was good, but this is even better... as you might imagine ;)
I like the floppy ones. 😳 🐧
You're not alone... Though I prefer straight ones, I am strongly against them if they are cold
Do BOTH u and Eric live in Japan and why
We do, we are English teachers by day
I usually do milestone giveaways, but it's usually digital goods and it's a tiny channel so they don't happen very often. Perhaps choose 'flat' items that will post at a letter rate rather than parcel. It's difficult I guess to find small, light items - even a bag of crisps/chips has size against it when it comes to posting.
Every 5k up to 25k then 50k 100k etc is way more scalable. Once you hit the magic algorithm number of subs the channel will get pushed more by yt so growth can be exponential, larger intervals won't take as long to reach.
Hmm, food is kinda what I do on the channel, but i guess Japan in general also works as a theme ;) Maybe I can get some unique Japanese stickers or stationery. That might be interesting. I do like your math and your logic!
Wanna try the peach shake one day
Peach shake!!!!
Triple! It was so good!
Hello Paul
I would love to try the 3 Peach Milkshake drink. I love MCD Milkshake specially Banana. I would love to have Peach flavoured Milkshake here in the UK. Also wish the UK MCD had French Fries flavourings. I love Peaches so I know without a doughy I would love the milkshake. Keeping my fingers crossed in winning the giveaway competition as I adore tangy flavours more than anything else. If I don't win then it's still fun to have a go and enjoy the hype. Good luck everyone who has entered.
Awesome video Paul. Shame the Burger wasn't up to scratch. I also love soft boiled eggs best. Better to stick bread in to mop it up yum! I 😋 I so want to try Onsen eggs once I get chance to visit Japan and I will even try raw egg too. OMG I'm making myself hungry lol lol 😁😁😁 take care Paul. Xx
Yeah, the burger looked so good, but not really that great on flavour... The hard yolk especially, didn't do anything for it. I hope KFC does a good one again this year. And good luck in the draw!
Love a moist bun haha
Supposed to be buttery, but it wasn't really... :(
I'm hungry for breakfast now...
Haha, yeah... ;)
Time for the 11K giveaway 😂
Also, that sandwich sounds kind of lousy. Eggs aren't supposed to be solid.
Yeah, McDonald's doesn't do eggs well... :(
