There’s understandably controversy around BetterHelp. I researched the privacy and licensing issues they’ve had in the past, and more than anything I found, I was convinced that they’re worth working with after reading a post by Jonathan Decker over at Cinema Therapy (link below), which extensively outlines the various criticisms. While they’ve sold browser data in the past (never clinical data), they’ve since changed their practices and strictly comply with privacy regulations. All their therapists are licensed and vetted. I personally use the service, and have had a great experience with my therapist. While BetterHelp might not have a perfect history, as they stand now, I believe they are an effective way to provide therapy to those who wouldn't normally be able to access it. All that being said, I'm hearing the criticism loud and clear. I stand behind my statements above, but we're reviewing our partnership with them. www.reddit.com/r/cinema_therapy/comments/1dpriql/addressing_the_betterhelp_concerns_headon_deep/
even if they have changed, it still stands that they took advantage of people. If my normal therapist breached my trust, and then said sorry, and changed, I still wouldn’t ever trust them again
Thats what I keep saying about candy corn. Its such garbage that people keep throwing it away and the company just scours the dump for untouched packages and resells them.
@@chuiu yeah there's people that legit love candy corn. I have a friend that says its her favorite candy, along with stale licorice, importance on STALE.
one thing I will say about dots is that if they ever get discontinued, gingerbread house decorating will take a MASSIVE hit. same with neccos, which makes the cutest roof thatching ever
BetterHelp is so dedicated to improving the lives of their clients that they'll employ and advertise random people as therapists AND sell their patient data so that ad providers can give them ads that make their depression worse so you need more therapy!
They only sell/sold the data they get from you interacting with their ads, so if you clicked on an ad that says “are you depressed” technically that isnt patient information but is still scummy!
@rainbowbugjar or he expects his viewers to not be totally schmucks. TH-cam sponsorships should legit just be ignored, same way people ignore normal commercials and ads. If you buy something from a TH-cam sponsorship, you are the schmuck that will buy anything, they are modern day "as seen on tv" products
@@OrbObserverDumb argument. He's fully capable of choosing which sponsorship he wants to go with, and after being told about how bad Betterhelp is he keeps going with them. Why are you comparing that to ads we don't get to choose and are getting pushed on us more and more?
Fun fact: Swedish Fish are Lingonberry flavored, you can find a jar of lingonberry jam at IKEA near the front I think, not my favorite but I'm sure y'all'll appreciate knowing this
As a Swede, I am vetoing this fun fact. If you think they are the same, you have never tried lingonberry. But then Swedish Fish aren't Swedish so perhaps the people who made them also think they made lingonberry flavor :P
In America, in my experience, very few "flavors" taste like their "thing". "strawberry flavor" rarely tastes like "strawberry". I just assumed swedish fish were the "lingonberry flavor" that doesn't taste like "lingonberry"
I have lived a life of dyed red products simply tasting like Red. That said, I literally don't care what flavor Swedish Fish are actually supposed to be, because I will eat them until I turn red.
Swedish fish are fruit punch flavor and basically the same as any other candy labeled that flavor just a little bit more rounded out. Actually now that I think about it specifically Hawaiian Punch is pretty close if memory serves.
@@catpoke9557 Interesting, I did not know Malaco was actually involved at the start. Though I still view it as a purely American product with little to do with Sweden, considering the shape and the flavorings do not match the Swedish equivalent.
Betterhelp's return in late 2024 is not on my prediction list, and as someone who was betrayed by them in the past and has a severe distrust of therapists ever since, I kinda wish it stayed that way
Yeah it's honestly gross that people are still pushing this stuff for the sponsorship bag. This place had people's trust and sold it as soon as they could, never again. Shame on anyone taking their money to shill their garbage data farm.
@@ShereRho BetterHelp really helped Babish with his mental health. He used to be extremely stressed about not being able to afford a second villa, but after taking the sponsorship deal he doesn't have to worry about money at all. Looks like money CAN buy happiness! And people say BetterHelp is a scam. Sure, it's a scam if you use their therapists for help, but the sponsorship money can cure anything!
My best friend when I was a child was my Fun Dip brother. He hated the sour powder but loved the dip sticks. I was the opposite so it was a perfect split.

They never sold personal data. The federal suit against them specifically states that they didn't, and they've always used only licensed, experienced therapists. The problem was with the wording of their TOS, which said that clients were responsible for verifying licensing, which some people took to mean that Betterhelp didn't verify.
Sugar Daddy, Bottle Caps, Runts and Whoppers are for sure halloween candies. Bit-o-honey I don't think so as much. That's a dad candy, but it is one I like.
@@Bigcat33 Betterhelp never sold or disclosed patient data, and they have always required therapists to be licensed/certified, and have a minimum of three years clinical experience.

@@adraws7336 Looking into the history, your Mars is technically our Milky Way, kind of. "Franklin Clarence Mars started selling chocolate candy bars in 1920 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Frank invented the Milky Way bar and released it nationally in 1924. The bar was intended to taste like a milkshake, but in bar form. Frank’s son, Forrest Mars Sr eventually joined the business. Forrest grew up estranged from his father, but reconciled with him after college. Their reconciliation did not last long, however, as Forrest wanted to expand the candy bar empire abroad, while his father did not. So Forrest left the company and moved to England where he formed his own company. Forrest recreated his own version of his dad’s Milky Way and developed what he called the Mars Bar."
"nougat is filler. . . this is whipped nougat. It's using less nougat" all nougat is whipped. Being whipped is one of the main characteristics of nougat. White nougat is whipped egg whites. Brown nougat is whipped sugar/camel.
Additional whipped nougat whips air into the base to make it fluffier, aka, less dense in volume. Like Yoplait Whips would do with their Yogurt. Your paying extra for air particles between your candy. So yes while your correct via semantics, he's not wrong.
There is a different formula used for the peanut butter pumpkins than the standard cups, and that’s why they are better. I think the pumpkins/ eggs/ Christmas trees use more sugar so the middle shape can be punched out with more detail
Take 5 bars are superior candy for those of us who love salty/sweet things - pretzel, caramel, peanut butter, peanuts, and chocolate. I won't hear any arguments.
I put M&Ms in my popcorn. It’d be if awesome if there was a candy bar like that, but it’d probably be kind of hard to keep the popcorn from going stale.
Pillow cases were for the smart kids, idk what the joke even is dunking on using pillow cases? That my parents couldn't afford a 99cent orange pumpkin bucket? Or something? Sometimes Babish is just wrong about stuff
Mentioning the lack of Junior Mints, it's just as well, seeing as the best version of the Junior Mint is the Christmas variant. Adding just a bit of crunch from the peppermint bits adds SO MUCH.
Severely disappointed in you insisting that you take a sponsor from Betterhelp, the pinned message really feels like it was handed to you by Betterhelp themselves in order for you to shield against criticism
Just admit we’re all too lazy to do research ourselves and are just hopping on the bandwagon lol. I’m already gotten off my high horse, you should too.
Fans of creators have absolutely NO right to to dictate what sponsorship a creator takes. If you don’t like him taking their money unsubscribe and stop watching it’s really simple. But in absolutely NO UNIVERSE does a fan of a creator get to tell that creator what companies they can and cannot work with. For all purposes Babish has worked with betterhelp and it helped him. So for anyone to get on their “MoRal HiGh HorSe” and tell him who he should work with or not work with is disgusting
@@mikeschwindt543 People are allowed to express their concerns about a sponsership that a creator chooses to take. Most creators vet their sponsers before accepting the contract and cash. It sucks to know that babish doesn't actually care about his community to the point of pushing a company that has done legitimate harm.
True but there’s some weird factory process that kinda makes the chocolate for hershey bars be all artificially awkward and taste funny. The reese’s ones aren’t as weird for some reason. I would often compare the chocolate portions for both as a kid and found them to be different when opening them from the wrappings
@@Samstar369oh yeah that would be the lactic acid. See when they first started making Hershey's chocolate bars there was a little bit of an oopsie that led to lactic acid fermentation and they kind of liked how it made their products stand out from other ones in the way it tasted and and ended up continuing that for the chocolate bar line. Because apparently sour milk chocolate is the popular thing with some people.
@@jazz_hams Why? They sold personal data to other companies. They ended up settling with the FTC for $7.8 million and not a thing changed within that company's management.
As a person that puts BBQ sauce on everything that normal people put ketchup on, I concur. Even fishsticks are not spared. My defaults are KC Masterpiece and Bullseye. Not sweet baby rays which seems the most popular.
There was one I used to buy all the time before they stopped stocking it here. Maybe Stubbs. It was fantastic with no corn syrup. But not sure since it's been years.
@@chrisw5948 I grew up on doctored up KC. Stubbs, especially the sticky sweet flavor is great. I dont mind sweet baby rays but it depends on the food im using it on lol
Preach! I came here to say this and I'm glad I was able to find this comment after wading through the thousands of BetterHelp haters. Lol. But yes, Red Vines are about a million times better than horrible plastic twizzlers.
I know you can't get them in the US but whenever I'm outside of the US, airo bars, especially the mint ones. I don't know why putting a bunch of holes in the chocolate makes it better but it does😅
You missed on all the dark chocolate variants that are popular during halloween season like milky way midnight and dark chocolate reeves. They raise the bar
Milky Way Midnight is a remake of my favorite (and discontinued) childhood candy bar, Forever Yours. I cannot describe my joy at the introduction of Milky Way Midnight.
Dots for me were a movie staple. Though I will say I tried the Tropical flavors and they are so bad. half of them taste like a fruit flavored shampoo/soap
I was about to be upset that he poorly rated my two all-time favorites, but then I saw that he didn't give candy corn a 1/10. That's when I realized why he is still running the BetterHelp; he's still broken. It's okay, man. I will forgive you on your healing journey for all the joy you have brought through your other videos. I can forgive this travesty.
Does Tootsie Pops have the best marketing though? Literally a commercial made decades ago and everyone knows it for a product that very few people actually buy often...
That would make it pretty bad marketing. Lol. As a piece of media it exists broadly within the zeitgeist, but doesn't seem very effective at getting people to buy them.
i need some more trolli love. their entire catalogue of lollies are hands down my fave of all time. sour geckos, sea creatures, gummi bears, brite crawlers, cola bottles (especially) are all elite. mini hotdogs burgers and pizza? get outta town, trolli is doin it like no one else
There's actually a lot of debate and internal lack of continuity regarding exactly what they were named after. There's people who claim a lot of different things are the truth but I think no one actually knows for sure at this point due to all of the conflicting evidence
I love that were getting more Babish lately with these videos. We get to see the wild personality that made us fall in love with the channel all those years ago.
That Black Forest gummy section was sacrilegious, especially with the comparison to Haribo. Every single Haribo I’ve ever had was stale, right out of a sealed bag. Meanwhile Black Forest gummies are as refreshing as an actual glass of fruit juice. Yours must’ve been a year past their sell-by date.
Dots have been one of my favorite candies for a while because they are one of the few fruity gummy candies that are gluten free, they have a decent variety of flavors besides the normal box, and they are extremely cheap for the volume of candy you get
I loved the "Clever Candy Rainbow Jawbreaker" because it felt like so much hype about how it looked cool, Andrew breaks out the knife and dissects it to see the layers .... so much build up, and then it gets spat in under half a second. Glorious!
It's funny how the candies that Andrew rates the highest are the ones I always refused to touch even when I was out of the ones I liked. I always hated artificial fruit flavors (except orange). Oh, and I love Tootsie Roll and buttered popcorn Jelly Bellies, so maybe I'm just weird.
@@TherealDanielleNelsonWorst experience! I am heartbroken for you. I've had old chocolate before and it is so bad. Not enough to stop thinking "oh maybe it's not that bad" every time it's happened since though...
at first i questioned how Andrew doesn't understand that you make a red vines straw the same way you make a twizzlers straw, but then i realized: of course this man has no sense. he accepted a BetterHelp sponsorship in 2024
The sour roulette aspect alone is fun, but to just dismiss them as the same flavors is wrong in its own special way I'm surprised nobody on set caught it
"That commercial is irresponsible, i can see why they stopped airing it" they definitely did not stop airing it, i saw the tootsie pop commercial on tv just last week! And youre so right that the pops are an improvement over regular tootsie rolls

Pillow cases were for the smart kids, idk what the joke even is dunking on using pillow cases? That my parents couldn't afford a 99cent orange pumpkin bucket? Or something? Sometimes Babish is just wrong about stuff
BetterHelp sponsorships in the big 2024
Mentioning the lack of Junior Mints, it's just as well, seeing as the best version of the Junior Mint is the Christmas variant. Adding just a bit of crunch from the peppermint bits adds SO MUCH.
Severely disappointed in you insisting that you take a sponsor from Betterhelp, the pinned message really feels like it was handed to you by Betterhelp themselves in order for you to shield against criticism
Just admit we’re all too lazy to do research ourselves and are just hopping on the bandwagon lol. I’m already gotten off my high horse, you should too.
@@markn.7914 you laying down your morals doesn't mean you should push others do to the same
@@markn.7914just say you dont wanna have any morals
Fans of creators have absolutely NO right to to dictate what sponsorship a creator takes. If you don’t like him taking their money unsubscribe and stop watching it’s really simple. But in absolutely NO UNIVERSE does a fan of a creator get to tell that creator what companies they can and cannot work with. For all purposes Babish has worked with betterhelp and it helped him. So for anyone to get on their “MoRal HiGh HorSe” and tell him who he should work with or not work with is disgusting
@@mikeschwindt543 People are allowed to express their concerns about a sponsership that a creator chooses to take. Most creators vet their sponsers before accepting the contract and cash. It sucks to know that babish doesn't actually care about his community to the point of pushing a company that has done legitimate harm.
Is anybody gonna tell him Reeses are made with Hersheys chocolate?
Also Rolo, York, Heath, and KitKat.
I'm surprised he didn't try dark chocolate Reese's
they're very clearly different formulations even if the chocolate is made by hershey
True but there’s some weird factory process that kinda makes the chocolate for hershey bars be all artificially awkward and taste funny. The reese’s ones aren’t as weird for some reason. I would often compare the chocolate portions for both as a kid and found them to be different when opening them from the wrappings
@@Samstar369oh yeah that would be the lactic acid. See when they first started making Hershey's chocolate bars there was a little bit of an oopsie that led to lactic acid fermentation and they kind of liked how it made their products stand out from other ones in the way it tasted and and ended up continuing that for the chocolate bar line. Because apparently sour milk chocolate is the popular thing with some people.
I hope everyone responsible for BetterHelp gets prosecuted and thrown in jail.
This one's the funniest.
You have no knowledge of what you're talking about and should shut up about it.
@@jazz_hams Why? They sold personal data to other companies. They ended up settling with the FTC for $7.8 million and not a thing changed within that company's management.
Is it against the comment rules to say that we should do with them what the French Revolution did with their opponents?
@@paradoxparade1 because we all know nothing's ever gonna happen to the rich
I too believe the 100 Grand to be among the very best candy bars to have ever existed. So many people seems to have never had them for some reason.
I spent 45 minutes watching someone rank candy incorrectly.
Felt
As boring as it may seem, I'd really enjoy a bbq sauce ranking. Or for something more unique, maybe coffee?
As a person that puts BBQ sauce on everything that normal people put ketchup on, I concur. Even fishsticks are not spared. My defaults are KC Masterpiece and Bullseye. Not sweet baby rays which seems the most popular.
There was one I used to buy all the time before they stopped stocking it here. Maybe Stubbs. It was fantastic with no corn syrup. But not sure since it's been years.
@@chrisw5948 I grew up on doctored up KC. Stubbs, especially the sticky sweet flavor is great. I dont mind sweet baby rays but it depends on the food im using it on lol
@@chrisw5948they still sell it!
16:54 his terrified "oh no no" as Babish nearly broke all his teeth on a Tootsie Pop 💀
How many broken teeth does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
The true secret all Reece's lovers know, the holiday special editions are always superior.
You know what I miss?
Butterfinger BBs.
It has been so long since I thought of those! And now I miss them again too.
You know what I miss?
Butterfingers before they changed the recipe.
@@Snyper-if3kt Yeah I'm honestly shocked Andrew gave them a 10
Dots give me the euphoric feeling of chewing on wax without dying for it
Okay I never cared for Dots because but I appreciate you for this all the same. So much of food is texture.
Maybe I’m alone but consider this the I love tootsie rolls button
I love Tootsie rolls... The fruity ones even better.
So about that ranking every hamburger helper video 👉🏻👈🏻👀
It's like you don't even like Babish. 😝🫣
Rank what dataset Betterhelp has sold off & which unliscensed therapist made you feel the most like dying.
Name one unlicensed therapist on it.
@@CChrist-mh4mk you're saying nothing
@@CChrist-mh4mkFound the BetterHelp employee
I use them, they’re fine. Y’all love the bandwagon so much 😂
@@camelat7228 neither is anyone on here complaining about Betterhelp. All they are doing is parroting videos that they didn’t even watch.
Super interesting that Smarties are something completely different in America compared to Europe. Ours are chocolate with a shell like MnMs
same in canada, the thing he calls smarties has a different name "rockets"
Only worse lol
Another fun fact, Kit Kat is made by Nestle in all countries aside from the US where Hershey's makes them.
Same in Australia! (I like American Smarties better).
For some reason the crisp angles on the original Reese's Cup makes them taste much better to me than the shapeless pumpkin version.
Can't wait to collect candy from neighbours like BetterHelp collecting data from consumers!!!!
Bro Sniffs a pile of Candy like and ADDICT
"This Episode is sponsored by THERAPY" 💀
There absolutely is a hole in red vines! You can use them like a straw! You need to give them another try. Imo twizzlers taste like flavored plastic.
You are a woman of class and great taste. Red vines are far more superior than those disgusting twizzlers!
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who realized his mistake 😂
You are 100% correct and red vines are definitely superior to twizzler.
Preach! I came here to say this and I'm glad I was able to find this comment after wading through the thousands of BetterHelp haters. Lol. But yes, Red Vines are about a million times better than horrible plastic twizzlers.
I came here to say exactly that. I enjoy my twizzlers for sure, but I can't stand Andrew's false claims against the almighty red vines.
100 Grand is by far my favorite candy bar. Absolutely perfect. Glad someone else it giving it the recognition it deserves. There is nothing better
I know you can't get them in the US but whenever I'm outside of the US, airo bars, especially the mint ones. I don't know why putting a bunch of holes in the chocolate makes it better but it does😅
@@darcieclements4880 Mmmm are they available outside of Canada? I miss aero
"Noone's going to want that, Stephen" I enjoyed the pop rocks sounds 😊
31:59 "it doesn't even say that on the back, they're clearly embarrassed of these" had me on the floor laughing
Oh boy, I love that schilltastic opening!
Get better sponsors.
Hey friend, it's just shill. Just for the future, and I agree!
You missed on all the dark chocolate variants that are popular during halloween season like milky way midnight and dark chocolate reeves. They raise the bar
Milky Way Midnight is the true Milky Way.
Milky Way Midnight is a remake of my favorite (and discontinued) childhood candy bar, Forever Yours. I cannot describe my joy at the introduction of Milky Way Midnight.
Actually like the white chocolate stuff
I love DOTS and I WILL NOT explain myself.
I am right there with you. DOTS are right up there at the top of my Halloween candy list not a disgusting 2.
Dude, same. I LOVE DOTS.
Dots for me were a movie staple. Though I will say I tried the Tropical flavors and they are so bad. half of them taste like a fruit flavored shampoo/soap
I like the texture more than anything else about them, and while none of the flavors are great, none are bad really, just bland.
It will remain a mystery
“I used a pillow case” ………….”oh Steve” 😂😂😂
I was about to be upset that he poorly rated my two all-time favorites, but then I saw that he didn't give candy corn a 1/10. That's when I realized why he is still running the BetterHelp; he's still broken. It's okay, man. I will forgive you on your healing journey for all the joy you have brought through your other videos. I can forgive this travesty.
The unfounded candy corn hate has *got* to stop...
@JawzXlives oh it's founded it's the most founded thing here.
Does Tootsie Pops have the best marketing though? Literally a commercial made decades ago and everyone knows it for a product that very few people actually buy often...
That would make it pretty bad marketing. Lol. As a piece of media it exists broadly within the zeitgeist, but doesn't seem very effective at getting people to buy them.
@@theghastrider1I buy them by the bag every two months or so. I love tootie pops.
i need some more trolli love. their entire catalogue of lollies are hands down my fave of all time. sour geckos, sea creatures, gummi bears, brite crawlers, cola bottles (especially) are all elite. mini hotdogs burgers and pizza? get outta town, trolli is doin it like no one else
The trolli octopus is unmatched
The superior gummy candy company
Finally someone who respects heath bars
As a former pink Starburst connoisseur I have matured and realized that red is the best flavor while pink is second
yellow is the best flavor to anyone who isn't a teenager 💅🏻
I admire someone who isn't afraid to speak the unpopular truth: Red > pink starburst.
False, orange is the best, followed by lemon.
Hey man. BetterHelp is the Established Titles of mental health. Please seek another sponsorship.
Established Titles is completely harmless when compared to BetterHelp.
@@Memu_ implying both arent horrifically dogshit
FYI: Baby Ruth bars were named after the daughter of President Grover Cleveland.
There's actually a lot of debate and internal lack of continuity regarding exactly what they were named after. There's people who claim a lot of different things are the truth but I think no one actually knows for sure at this point due to all of the conflicting evidence
@darcieclements4880 Yes, the show that rimes with Faking Mystery has a show on cookies made with BR bars discussing that.
I thought it was named after the small spawn of the company's founder?
I actually really like smarties. Their chalkiness isn't gross like tums, and they melt in your mouth after chewing just the right amount.
It's like...a velvety chalk. They're such a soft comforting candy with the right amount of zip. Genuinely one of my favorites.
Exactly! It's the perfect texture and the flavour isn't too tart. It's all around sensory goodness. Autistic approved!
I love that were getting more Babish lately with these videos. We get to see the wild personality that made us fall in love with the channel all those years ago.
Yeah, now that Alvin does all that pesky cooking, Andrew can support bad businesses and make click bait!
No Squirrel Nut Zippers? We can't be friends! 😂
I hate that these videos are the most successful of babish but they’re so entertaining lol
listening to creepy halloween music for 45 minutes was uniquely dysphoric I feel like I need a candlelit bath
The other flavors of Tootsie Roll are 100% what every bank puts in their lobby in the 80s and 90s.
I love the vanilla ones😂
The candy nose dive into a better help ad was pure comedy.
Rank every boxed cake, cookie, and brownie mix. I never comment on any TH-cam video ever; this is how important this is to me.
That Black Forest gummy section was sacrilegious, especially with the comparison to Haribo.
Every single Haribo I’ve ever had was stale, right out of a sealed bag. Meanwhile Black Forest gummies are as refreshing as an actual glass of fruit juice.
Yours must’ve been a year past their sell-by date.
10:07 couldn’t interrogate that information out of me
I don't appreciate being called out for liking dots. I will cry in the corner now with my dots and pop rocks.
Dots have been one of my favorite candies for a while because they are one of the few fruity gummy candies that are gluten free, they have a decent variety of flavors besides the normal box, and they are extremely cheap for the volume of candy you get
Yes!!!
I'd prefer albanese gummy bears or sour gummy worms, or sour patch watermelon/ kids. I can understand if you don't like sour things tho!
Freezing em is great!
"6 for whimsy" candy is an experience, and whimsy is part of that experience.
I loved the "Clever Candy Rainbow Jawbreaker" because it felt like so much hype about how it looked cool, Andrew breaks out the knife and dissects it to see the layers .... so much build up, and then it gets spat in under half a second. Glorious!
Reese's pumkpins are the ultimate form of Reese's.
It's funny how the candies that Andrew rates the highest are the ones I always refused to touch even when I was out of the ones I liked. I always hated artificial fruit flavors (except orange).
Oh, and I love Tootsie Roll and buttered popcorn Jelly Bellies, so maybe I'm just weird.
Andrew. It's literaly worst sponsorship you could make. They DO NOT trying to make better or do better. Come on man
Nerds are a 10 because they satisfy the intrusive thought to eat aquarium gravel. Exact same texture experience.
Babish in a spinning chair with a Ring wearing a pop, a monocle, in a robe, with a glass of Gator-wine. what else can we add to this picture? lol 😂
Not really Halloween, but I'm a big Watchamacallit fan.
I got a stale Whatchamacalit once and it turned me off ever eating them.
My favorite candy bar for sure. Okay tied with peanut-butter Snickers but I haven't gotten either in a hot minute.
@@TherealDanielleNelsonWorst experience! I am heartbroken for you. I've had old chocolate before and it is so bad. Not enough to stop thinking "oh maybe it's not that bad" every time it's happened since though...
Whatchamacallits totally slap!!! Yeeessss!!!
peanut butter kisses are the most underrated hollowseve candy
Underrated what candy?
@@ashleyr6809 You've never heard of All Hollow Steve?
Original Butterfingers are 10X better than the new “peanuty” recipe of Butterfingers. I miss the OG. 🍫
Me too. I know they've dialed back on the recipe from when they first changed it, but its still not quite what it used to be.
Agreed! I thought it was nostalgia goggles but when I learned they changed their recipe I felt so sad.
32:42 Babish was the kind of kid that thought that taller glass can hold more liquid than wider glass.
We need a Microwavable Popcorn episode!
at first i questioned how Andrew doesn't understand that you make a red vines straw the same way you make a twizzlers straw, but then i realized: of course this man has no sense. he accepted a BetterHelp sponsorship in 2024
absolutely criminal he didnt try the Halloween skittles, they are way better than the original
The sour roulette aspect alone is fun, but to just dismiss them as the same flavors is wrong in its own special way I'm surprised nobody on set caught it
21:06 Have you never had red vines, Andrew? Red vines have a BETTER hole for drinking! Also, red vines taste better and have a better texture.
Never understood this myself. Red vines taste a bit like wax lips, and combined with their texture my brain insists that they aren't food.
@@zephyram2648 I disagree
@@pigeonfog fair enough
"That commercial is irresponsible, i can see why they stopped airing it" they definitely did not stop airing it, i saw the tootsie pop commercial on tv just last week! And youre so right that the pops are an improvement over regular tootsie rolls
