FAQ
Q) Why are there comments from a week ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Well... not my apartment (no room) but I was looking through stuff at my dad's, planning to set up a decent stereo system after renovations are done, and I found at least 5 different record players, of varying quality and probably some in some type of disrepair, but... it's not that uncommon, I think :D
An audiobook-reading of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in multiple chocolate records, one for each chapter.
And also with a hard honey-based glaze that won't be so horrifically scratched up while also keeping the chocolate's shape during operation in higher-than-expected temperatures.
And yes, add a nice, crunchy inner wafer to the disc to help maintain its structural integrity.
Don't forget to refrigerate your chocolate records when you store them! I would recommend a high-efficiency chest freezer.
"I've put the record in the fridge this morning"
That is my new favourite sentence and I will use it to mess with people
Mission Impossible should have used these instead of tape players! "This delicious message will self-destruct as soon as you eat it!"
Yeah but wheres the fun in that... everybody loves exploding tape players
Their agents might not be much good if they have to consume a large amount of chocolate records on the regular.
@@ColtaineCrows "This is your mission, should you choose to accept it. Now, EAT THE MESSAGE!"
That sounds like a Norm Macdonald joke lol
I would imagine they would eat it and think, "Hm not bad, needs more of this." Also I don't think they would want crumbs on whatever clothing they were wearing so they might not like the idea of a chocolate record.

He made a separate, shorter video for people that just want to hear the record even though the video is already plenty to the point. What a man
Being type 1 diabetic, having lost sense of smell and taste and being almost blind on one eye if I remember correctly... but never lost the sense of humour. And all that while being such a wonderful and charismatic person! I just love your videos, Matt!
That’s it - it could be worse. 👍
Surely the next step is to review old hi-fi equipment while being deaf. Getting old has the benefit of reducing tape hiss even without Dolby noise reduction.

Chocolate teapots are old hat. Not that I'm endorsing chocolate hats, mind. th-cam.com/video/qa6skbQHDh0/w-d-xo.html
That sounds like a brilliantly disastrous idea.
Is the chocolate tea-pot not more of a Big Clive Dot Com type of experiment? XD
@@Flymochairman1 Only if he's complaining about the heating element, not the chocolate melting.

I have to say, when the music started playing...I smiled despite myself. I'm one of those who gets sad when Christmas ends and everyone starts shutting their lights off. I keep mine up appropriately til Candlemas. That just made me so happy to hear that. 🎄
Yikes, the dedication is awesome, from record needle to insulin needle in one video.
what do you mean by i have an abundance of one of the needed supplies for this
oof
Can't believe insulincore sounds like a cylinder
People in the 1980s: Just imagine what great technology we'll have in 40 years!

“You’ve heard it
I’ve eaten it
Now I best go find me insulin”

the fidelity of this video is incredible. The image is so sharp! Awesome work.
No kidding. Why tf is it so clear.
@Abstractism yea and it tried to play at 480p for me until I changed it to 2160p
Maybe they use 12K camera
Agreed. Good job Techmoan. Please review the camera!
@Abstractism And he knows how to use it and has good lighting. Some TH-camrs like LinusTechTips have way better and more expensive Cameras and loads of equipment, but the Video doesnt't look better at all. Sometimes, Techmoans Vid do look better, because he makes probably more takes, sets everything up properly and uses some good lights.
I can’t wait to play this on my extremely expensive laser record player for absolutely pristine audio quality.
Woah! You gonna melt into the grooves?
Has anyone actually bought those?
@@franky9928 They're basically lab equipment for restoration specialists, at this point. That's pretty much the one niche they occupy that nothing else does.
Needs that device that just records the grooves as an image and then from the extremely detailed image, create the audio. Like what they did with the worlds oldest known recording. Phonaudiograph
As the kids say: LOL
"Hello everyone this is YOUR daily dose of internet"
Chocolate vinyl records never fail to impress me, also the song gives me the nostalgic feeling of Christmas.
I love the fact that Techmoan buys a record that he can't play or eat, so we can enjoy the video anyway.
Happy Xmas Techmoan!
Twice!
"now I better go find some insulin" got me laughing out loud 😂
Hope he was just kidding, "You had us in the first half", guy, nobody's expecting you to go making yourself Ill!
@@barryholt9564 Matt is a diabetic, so he would no joke need to take a measure of insulin after eating some chocolate.
I laughed at that one too :) it's showing nice sence of humour as well as dedication:)
I lost it when he took another bite after saying that.
@@maesto No problem at all since he is Type I, which means he can't produce insulin .. with modern therapies you can pretty much eat anything you want, you just have to compensate for it. There are limits for the total carb amount though, so if its high in sugar you will stay quite hungry after using up the budget. (Type II is an insulin tolerance, you can only limit carbs for this.)
You literally have had one of my favorite channels consistently since I discovered you. Thanks for the content and I'm so glad to see you succeed

The chocolate should be as bitter as the lyrics.
1900's: "I bet we'll have flying cars in the future"
2020's: "Chocolate record, take it or leave it"
We've had flying cars for decades, they're called helicopters. Not sure why people expect cars that fly by magic. The rotors are either going to be on the top, or on the bottom like a hovercar but will need far more energy to fly higher and it's going to disrupt people below it.
For a second there I got flashbacks to Everywhere at the end of time
" Oh I almost forgot... to eat the record .." You don't hear that line very often....... if ever.
i dont blame him, really. if i'm gonna eat something like that, it damn well better be worth the insulin shot.
Did he eat it, for the record or on the record‽

So finally it's official. Crosley record players will destroy your records (if they're made of chocolate 😅 ).

I would suggest playing a chocolate record on a laser turntable. This eliminates the needle contact issues.
Lol, that's the funniest video I have seen from you so far! Merry Christmas!
could've had that song "chocolate rain" on it! LOL
Tay zonday! Unfortunately the song is copyrighted so I don’t think it’s possible
I think it would muddle the messaging if it was actually on a chocolate record.
AltName7 There is no message worth listening too on chocolate rain so its fine.
Pro Tip: For the true audiophile experience, you might want to put it in a freezer for a few hours before playing !
Enjoy that crisp sound!
Like they do with their damn cables! Bless them.
I'd be careful. If ice crystals form it will add lots of noise.
The ice would make the needle skate.
@@eDoc2020 then you coat it in dry ice instead
Great video. Really interesting how records can be made from chocolate and can still be played like normal ones. I'm also type 1 diabetic so I can relate to this as you'd need to work out the carbs and stuff before being able to eat it. Nice video!
You are looking amazing. You clean up super well and I like the flashy light. This channel is evolving, most stay stagnant after they get famous but you are actively making great yet small changes that add up to something very enjoyable.
Apparently Bill Hailey is going to release “Rock Around The Choc” ........
Have a thumbs up, man.
You made me laugh.
Very Good !!!
Worth a like for how bad it was! 🤦🏻👍🏻
Apparently Hot Chocolate released one of these in the 70s but it melted...
As did Bowie actually with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from "Mars"
. (I'll get my coat...)
Would be useful for sending disappearing messages- much tastier than a self-destructing tape recorder!
Mission Impossible reboot with chocolate sponsor product placement!
Better they don;t try in in warmer climates.
I couldn't stop laughing once the record finally played. Bravo! Cheers from Canada!
"Maybe one day, I can play a chocolate record!" - Yeah we all thing about that every day mate.

Indeed. I imagine the Christmas special in particular might not sound particularly great!

I won’t be making my records available on this though... gonna be a lossy project in all aspects of the word! 🤪
not to mention the "care" some postal services treat their items. How often did I get chocolate broken into pieces already. No way to play a broken record o matter how much it cost you :-D
It would be a sweet format for some CoCo music!
People have made similar things on wood and acrylic using a laser cutter.
Holy cow, I had no idea that you were a Type 1. I am too!! It's so cool to know that people you admire and enjoy watching share something like that with you. That really made my day.
