Bro just wash your hands afterwards silly
I think Johnny is great but when you think he can't get any more hipster you see him eat Doritos with chopsticks and have 'Miso Monday's 😂
lol its true. this is who i am tho.
@@johnnyharris making hipster cool again
@@johnnyharris that's why I'm unsubscribing. My regards to PepsiCo.
Its interesting how having proper funds and time to care about your daily habits can cause you to deviate so much from what is so culturally American. American habits are the habits of people with low funds and lacking free time, but with an abundance of materials. Naturally, the people will gravitate to the cheapest and quickest options available. Being given the blessing to deviate from that can make you seem almost alien to the average viewer.
@@johnnyharris you just drink liquid miso soup? No solid chunks like tofu or potatoes?
Imagine being so unbelievably amazed by how good your wife's cooking is you just had to do scientific research on it 😂
🤣😂

She was essentially putting crack into her food. It’s enough to drive anybody wild.

Never in my life I imagine watching a high quality, detailed video about why someone eating Doritos for breakfast, but here I am
with chopsticks
Welcome to the Internet
this what it feels like being unable to sleep whole night
the power of youtube lmfao, its such a waste of time but ngl we all bored as fuck
You missed the whole point of the video lol.
As an european ive always been weirded out by two things about americans: the fact that ppl are staying inside with shoes on and the super sweet breakfast.
Fortunately it's not all of us doing those things
I prefer not being barefoot and pregnant..thus I wear shoes.
@@JasonRogerson-gs8jpwear shoes that are meant to be indoors like slippers or something we don’t walk around the house barefoot but we also don’t bring our dirty shoes that have walked all over the dirty city inside the clean house and especially not in beds carpets
@@Chloe-tw1yi i kid I kid I know
I feel the same about english breakfast - its more like a dinner, too fat and too much food
I love that Johnny either produces highly educational real world content, or highly educational chaos goblin content with very little in-between
Don't ever change, Johnny
I watched one of his videos in class so yeah
highly educational? This is literally just about MSG, which is common knowledge. This is more like a content farm lol.
💯
This was highly educational *gobbling* content.
Johnny: American breakfast is too sweet and unhealthy
Also Johnny: eats a cheesy chips of pure carbs for breakfast
He likes to pretend he's above it all because he's a typical hipster liberal, but his American-ness shines through.
Doritos are full of inflammatory ingredients that will make anyone with autoimmune diseases chronically inflamed.
@@MrJACarroll lmao
@@MrJACarroll Thats pretty damn accurate actually
@@MrJACarroll ‘Typical hipster liberal’. Lol. Lmao. 😂
All silly additions aside, pure carbs is fine for breakfast so long you actually add stuff to make it healthy or it is infrequent . Corn and Rice are pure carbs and they are the two most popular foodstuffs as a commodity on the market.
That said, I don’t eat Doritos. I am a picky eater and it is cheaper to eat at home lol.
Coming back here after a couple months just to say that this whole using chopsticks to eat chips thing has hands down been LIFE CHANGING! I've always known that your content is time well invested but this just raised the bar TENFOLD . . . TYSM!
I'm watching it right now and grabbed a bag of chips and chopsticks and daamn. Its great
The buried lead: MSG can go on healthy foods to make them taste better, too.
You can buy MSG and use it in home cooking. Grind it into a powder with salt and spices and you've got homemade chip flavouring.
Yeah! That was my first thought here too
obviously. it's actually annoying that figured out that's the key, but still insists on eating the food that has no nutritional value but tastes well. like, sprinkle msg on salad or something
@@mimosveta Ah, but healthy foods still fail the mark on another front: convenience.
It's easy and cheap to stock up on junk snacks you can just store wherever at room temp for months and then eat at a moment's notice.
Healthy foods need stuff like _preparation_ and do stuff like _go bad._
Uh, MSG is actually pretty bad for you.
Well, it's OK in very small amounts but.. That amount is smaller than what most people think.
I used to eat a chef Salad from a place that was absolutely (strangely) delicious... It was ice berg lettuce and cheap dressing! But I and my co-workers couldn't get enough of it.
After awhile I realized that I was getting headaches after eating it.
Then I realized that even the lettuce in the salad tasted delicious without any dressing....
Things clicked and I realized that they were washing the lettuce in water absolutely FULL of MSG.
Headaches from MSG are very common.
@@OgdenMSome people experience headaches by consuming 3 grams of MSG
Why did the chef think THAT was a good idea?
Johnny is the only person that can make me watch a 20-minute dorito ad
This video is sponsored by Doritos
And it worked... I immediately went to grab a bag of Doritos...
I skipped to thr end

I'm mildly annoyed about the fact that I haven't come to the idea to use chop sticks for eating chips.
At least it keeps you from shoveling them into your mouth.
I remember the media campaign against MSG and seeing costless food labels citing they were free of MSG. Then, I realized that MSG is in alot of things and ignored all the hype because my family couldn't justify changing the budget on what we could and could not eat based on MSG. I learned early on that moderation is key. Thank you Johnny Harris and crew for this terrifically insightful piece! Bravo!
Ligit saw a bag of chips once with MSG FREE in big bold red letters on the front' turn it over look at the ingredients and the 5th or 6th one was Mono Sodium Glutamate aka MSG' apparently if you put the scientific name of the ingredient then the abbreviated version isn't in your food 🤷♂️
@bonglee66 Way too long and full of misinformation
MSG is bad because it makes cheap crap byproduct food in the USA irresistible and that in turn makes for bad food choices.
Nick is just killing with Doritos Stockpiling and the Miso Soup Extravaganza. Truly icon behaviour.

Fun fact: Despite decades of promises, PepsiCo continues sourcing palm oil for their beloved Doritos. One of the main causes for ecocide, indigenous landgrabbing, and the habitat destruction of the rarest animals on earth. With every tasty morning crunch, there's something to think about.
There's nothing inherently wrong with palm oil, it's a freaking miracle product. What needs to happen is changes to the sustainability of farming it
@@SamuriLemonX18 yes nothing wrong with , stealing peoples land , hiring people for cents a month abroad , exploiting them . Nothing wrong with
@@1heart7seas1moon Those problems have nothing inherently to do with palm oil, just the circumstances surrounding its production (which can be changed).
If you're mad about this, wait until I tell you confectionary companies still uses coco in their chocolate. That's an exploitative industry which still uses actual slavery. Should we stop eating chocolate, or ban it? Or should we work towards removing the things that make it's production so ugly?
@@1heart7seas1moon Stop using that laptop/phone/computer that you use to type and post that comment then. And if you have an electric car, better stop driving it too. Or for that matter, stop using whatever gadget you have that has a rechargeable lithium battery in it. Cause last I check, cobalt which is used in the batteries are mined using exploited slave and child labour in Congo. Ah the hypocrisy.
@@SamuriLemonX18 it's called "fair trade"
As a Japanese it makes me really happy you guys loving miso soup! Miso soup makes us feel safe and cozy, glad to know we share the same feeling.
Kinda same with indonesians craving indomie. Yes it contains msg.
never had it what is it? like ive heard of it but what does it contain,taste like?
I bought a tub of miso paste as an experiment, and there hasn't been a moment since without at least one tub in my refrigerator since then. Umami from miso soup is not just from seaweed. Miso also has it. So do mushrooms and tomato products. I have found it to be indespensable for my vegan compatible diet.

Love that the rest of the team is featured in this video. Huge opportunity to continue to feature these talented people. Keep up the good work.
more of that to come!
@@johnnyharris honestly i love the overall vibe of this video
@@johnnyharris I was disappointed not to see the clip from DreamWorks “Over the hedge” when RJ (Bruce Willis) opens the bag of Doritos, and creates a shock wave that goes into a mushroom cloud... to then lists all the ingredients from memory. The essence of the umami effect has never been more accurately portrayed.

People who eat Doritos with chopsticks are people who I can trust with my life. Because their hands would always be clean enough to perform life-saving surgery. Obviously.
I tried eating Doritos with chopsticks and now I can’t go back 😂 this was a RIDE (and now it totally makes sense why they are my favourite snack) glad you liked the Canadian Doritos!
I mean, why people is whining about it? It's fucking genius, greasy and smelly doritos fingers are awful. And they will smell for hours even if you clean them.
next you need to learn how to fold the bottom of the bag in, and push the bottom of the bag up through the bag so the chips are always at the top.
I used to eat cool ranch Dorito’s and a pint of milk every morning before school.

Recently found Johnny’s channel. Binged through so much in the last week. One thing I’ve noticed. His videos have become so much more engrossing in the last year. My guys delivery, the editing, the jokes.
The change is massive. Keep growing g you deserve it 🌟👑
Love all the corners of the internet you're exploring with your cameos! Seeing Adam in a Johnny video hits so good this morning.
We used to have Doritos here in Indonesia.
But last year, the company that brought all of the Frito-Lay brands such as Lays and Doritos, Indofood , decided to stop using Lays and Doritos brandings because the usage of their license had expired. and they created a new name for those crisps.
Now, Lays is called Chitato Lite and Doritos is called Maxicorn. But they're all pretty much the same.
Thanks, dear MSG
nice
thats actually very cool haha im glad you guys took it back
happytos tetap jaya ((((soalnya murah))))
Maxicorn is an awesome name
Barusan banget nyariin Doritos di Indomaret ga ada (padahal belom notice video ini) trus baca comment ini yawlaa grateful to the max 😭🤣
It's wonderful how people are so different, I think I eat Doritos once on my 50 years of life and isn't because it's not healthy, I really enjoy real food , when you live on a Mediterranean country you have so many good food , who cares about Doritos
True that. So much junk food in America is mostly because people don’t know how to cook. People with good cooks, and good foods at home often don’t crave junk food. It’s just not as appealing.
eating Doritos is like eating drugs, your head, stomach ,& body feels like krap
The fact that his team is shown is my favorite part of this episode
Johnny, I don't know if you tried them in Tijuana, but if you love Doritos, you should try "Dorilocos". They are usually sold as street food here in Mexico, and are made by opening a Doritos bag and stacking it as much as possible with peanuts, grated carrots, grated jicama, cucumber, hot sauce and lemon. You will still enjoy Doritos but all the vegetables add a great flavor and gets you into eating healthy food to somehow "neutralize" all the junk you are eating in the Doritos.
That explains where some of my aquantances were getting that idea from back in high school.
@@KaiserMattTygore927 yeah, you can find them here easily outside schools. They are a great snack and toppings usually differ between cities. People usually add to them local ingredients.
This sounds absolutely banging, oh my goodness.
Tostilicos are the OGs
Haha no one has ever starting eating healthy eating papas lokas. 🤣
The editing, sound quality, and production quality of your videos is incredible
In Switzerland we have a popular seasoning called "Aromat" which is pretty much just concentrated Monosodium Glutomate. Some people don't like cooking with it, but that's usually just because aromat makes it a bit too easy, and it can overpower more subtle tastes, but hell if it makes a plain potato taste really good ill use it, and it sure does.
We have most probably the same in Eastern Europe, it's called Vegeta, or Podravka. It's coming from Croatia. 15% msg.
wow! this is interesting. we used to have Aromat in Kenya then it just went off the market, don't know why
I have Aromat in my pantry here in Indiana. I bought it from South Africa and I just can't stop eating it. Now I understand why it is so delicious.
@@chch242 albanians put vegeta and paprika on everything
I really don’t care for Doritos but I still find myself clicking and watching the whole video because of the brilliant presentation and editing.
Here in Canada, ketchup flavour Doritos are mind boggling. They're like this tomato-ey umami experience with a little zing and some sweetness. Instead of using a cheese/dairy seasoning base, they use nutritional yeast and tomato powder, along with MSG and the usual list of unpronounceables. I remember them growing up, but they got discontinued at some point. A few years ago, Frito-Lay brought them back as a limited time "Throwback" and have been doing so every summer. My mouth is watering just describing them, and I haven't had any in months.
Johnny Harris is the only person who can make a whole documentary about eating doritos for breakfast
He misleading so many people . confused them with editing
@@yassine3978 cry little harder so people at the back can hear it
If you believe that watch Adam's videos, He's the absolute best at creating these type of videos. On MSG he has a whole bunch of videos already
"The special white powder that I often sniff up. I mean that coats my, the surface of the Doritos."
that one got me cracking up
You noticed that too?
yea lol
no matter how many boxes of doritos were popped in this video or how many magical ingredients were put in dorito.... I still wouldn't get myself to eat it....
It's 8am and Johnny has no idea what video he will post next. Beads of sweat begin to appear under his hipster beanie. He sighs deeply as he tears open his morning bag of doritos... 'What could the next video be?' he wonders, lost in a hazy of indecision and angst... then, as he reaches his bamboo chopsticks into the chip bag, a ray of sunlight from his window hits the orange triangle... a message from the heavens. Suddenly, Johnny knows exactly what to do. He texts his team: "This will be the biggest story we've ever told." Then, he blows on the dorito chip, sending orange dust everywhere... and when the dust clears, Johnny is gone.
😂😂😂
The editing of this video is SO FUN. Love when the content and tone are elevated with the editing and screenplay. Just the thought put into this is AMAZING!!
Holy crap johnny you just made me spit my coffee out. "The little bit of white powder i sniff i mean eat every morning"
A video on gluten would be interesting to me as a person with celiac.
For me gluten seems to be in everything, especially with cross contamination. I’ve gotten sick from non-labeled gluten free oils and spices. Then I also get sick if people have used wheat flour in the room earlier in the day.
For a while gluten free was a health craze even when people didn’t have medical conditions where they needed to be gluten free for. But then when you asked people what gluten was, they couldn’t tell you what it was but were gluten free.
I feel like Gluten allergies and Celiac are more about our body reacting with what’s sprayed on our food rather than gluten itself
IIRC there was a study done and it showed that gluten allergies and celiac were 100x more present after a certain year and that correlated with the same time period that a certain chemical started being sprayed on wheat in the farms
Whenever I think of American breakfast I think of fried eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, etc. Skillets are some of the best savory breakfasts you can get at an "clasic American diner" in my opinion
Sounds like an English breakfast
I submit that hash browns (the really skinny, shredded potato ones, not the diced potato ones that are more like small home fries) are the best breakfast food ever invented. There's nothing better for soaking up bits of egg yolk.
You should build a video around mushrooms-there are a lot of opinions based around them and I feel you would do a good job taking a deep dive into the effects they have on humans!
Yes, please spread the good word about mushrooms Johnny!
Yessssss mushrooms! They are edible, good for eco burial, and they are using it to replace leather
Yup like lions mane mushroom can improve memory
Adam Ragusea and Johnny Harris was the crossover I was patiently waiting to see. Top!
My wife , when she was young reacted badly to msg and chinese food in particular. her pupils became tiny she could only hear a rushing sound and she could barely speak.
The collaboration that no one asked for, but is totally amazing. 😂 Love Adam!
you consume way too much imperialism in your viewing diet
in switzerland we have that one spice/ salt called "aromat" (don't know if its known outside off switzerland) and we use it for everything. and its main ingredient is glutamat 🤷🏼♀️ my mom always said just don't use to much of it, because it makes you want to eat more and more of it. and that it kind off ruins your feeling for how much hunger you have and how much you should eat.
aromat isch läbe😍
We have it too in Sweden :)
aromat! 💯💯
AROMAT. So that's why I like aromat
In India it's often called Tasty Powder. In Thailand it's not uncommon to have a tub of it on restaurant tables.
I advise you to try the Arabic breakfast in the morning.. it consists of labneh, cheese, oil, thyme, eggs, chickpeas, beans and falafel...etc ❤
What an awesome way to discuss Doritos, MSG and introduce us to the people of the studio more!
I am now intensely craving Doritos. Damn it Johnny
.
That's what the undercover sponsor (hard to see even with 0.25 at the beginning) wants to hear! Congrats Johnny!
Same
I don't consider cereal to be a traditional American breakfast. I think of ut as a modern one. Traditional would be eggs, bacon, hash browns, biscuits and gravy. Pancakes are traditional, but they're supposed go be eaten only sometimes, like a treat... or if you're a lumberjack
"I Have A slightly Complicated relationship With Breakfast" Proceeds to scarf Doritos with a set of Chop Sticks Furiously 😂
I just wanted to say, as a Japanese person, I 100% approve eating chips with chopsticks.
I do it all the time!
Worth mentioning Doritos started at a restaurant in Disneyland. In the early 1960s, an Alex Foods salesman noticed that Casa de Fritos was tossing unused tortillas in the trash at the end of each day. He suggested that the cook cut the surplus tortillas into triangles, deep fry them.
Eating chips with chopsticks is a game changer. Not just clean fingers, but great to help pace eating. Thanks for the great tip!
It’s great until you get too good at using chopsticks. After that, you use your hands to pace yourself 😂
Thanks for the info and the laugh - I haven't had any kind of bagged chips in over a decade, but I remember sharing Johnny's adoration of doritos for breakfast - so much so that I have to make a point of never buying them because opening a bag = eating the bag = feeling awful but wanting more lol. It truly is a perfect example of how brilliant food science is at pushing our buttons.
I agree. It almost feels like the distinction between packaged food and drugs is blurring away.
@@Tpoleful you're so right about that - I honestly feel that some processed foods and fast foods have the potential to be somewhat addictive to at least some of us. I know I have to stay away from that stuff almost completely because of it.
Doritos could be flavored in a whole new fashion , like Aero chocolate bars in Japan.
Like , we could get a real selection of Doritos flavors that are more breakfast oriented.
Imagine the possibilities if we just put the cheese aside for a moment 😛
PS - Monosodium glutamate also happens to be a neuro transmitter. I'm not sure how our body metabolizes it when we ingest it , but it sure would explain the clarity of mind we feel after eating some food that contains it. Also , sodium has the nasty effect of hardening our arteries for a duration , which could explain why some studies suggest that this additive it's completely safe for human consumption. As always , moderation in all things is key in maintaining a balanced life style.
I was able to relate to the Chinese salt reference. In India, MSG is sold as Chinese salt or Ajinomoto. Popularly used in many Indo-Chinese cuisines such as Manchurian or Szechwan fried rice...!!
I lost it when Bilbo was holding the Dorito like the ring 😂
3:50 Gets sent chopsticks... proceeds to eat the bag with fingers. 😂
This feels like the most elaborate, thoroughly-thought out ad for Doritos, and I'm all here for it. 🤣
Imagine if Uncle Roger watched this
Ok thanks 👍🏻
The key point is really, it's not the MSG that is bad, it's the stuff they trick you in to eating by putting MSG in or on it.
Thumbs up if you think Johnny is obsessed with breakfast
Yes!!!!
Lol
He totally is
Yes!!
I just checked out your channel and your videos are great!
You editing and production is great is still an understatement. Damn man... It's so impeccable that we need a new word for this kind of work.
My sister in law is what they mean when they say MSG is bad for you. more then half of her calories come from instant ramen and chips. and she's super picky when it comes to eating real food because she just wants that strong salty msg kick. I feel like if the ramen wheat flour wasn't vitamin enriched she'd already have keeled over by now. 😅😬
I started to bake my own bread (including pita) one year ago, also i’ve learned to make hummus, and even started to prepare sushi rice at the morning, with rice vinegar and sesame seeds and served with half of an avocado, all thanks to you! (And in the process i loosed 20 Kg in weight), and now… i gonna start to eat doritos i guess
Don't do the Doritos, but do add the miso soup, just don't make it the way they do. Find instructions that doesn't kill the probiotics the way they did in this video. You can get dashi stock granules instead of the dried kelp, but the important part is the refrigerated, live culture, miso paste. Miso soup is a two minute process and you can make it by the cup. They probably make a vat of it because there's a lot of people sharing that pot. It's very easy to make a single cup each day.
Also, way to go on the healthy choices!
Please don't start eating doritos, they are HORRIBLE for you
home made bread beats every bread you can buy
@@ルナチャイルド-q1m I'm joking, don't worry, lol xD
This video is so unhinged and different but I do LOVE it. All the production value of your documentaries, all the geography and history info too but a totally fun twist. Doritos! This is a really interesting way to tell this story, and I like it a lot.
Eating Doritos with chopsticks is next level brilliance 😮
I can't believe I kept delaying watching this video, idk why I thought it was not as good as the other ones from Johnny, but from an editing point of view, and being entertaining it is one of THE BEST ones!
And considering so much thumbnail and title changes I thought he was struggling to get views so I thought maybe it wasn't that good, but man... this channel gets better by the second!
He must have been trying to nail down the algorithm because I only got this recommended today
I’m loving this editing style. You never fail to drop quality content
I couldn't stop smiling when I saw Adam, I've been following him since 2019, and seeing him in your video felt so unexpected but like two giants just were casually chatting together. Amazing!
Same!
Giants, like in "Giant MSG brain tricked youtubers"?

Mans did a phenominal job selling doritos
9:08 lol this part really got me 😂
deserves an award for that
Hi Johnny, you will probably never read this but I just wanted to say thank you 🙏. You constantly deliver content in a quality that actually blows my mind. I do some video and podcast production as a side hustle and I am so impressed by your work because I know what it means to produce content. Your Videos have always the right atmosphere with perfect light perfect backgrounds Cristal clear audio mind blowing animations unbelievable colour grading and we don’t even talk about the cutting. And that only the technical side. We all in media know that content is king and that’s where your real skills are. The storylines are perfect in length and are so exiting to watch. I am easily bored by videos and movies and almost never watch a full movie but your videos keep me hooked. All the research in the background all those really hard to get information. Most people probably don’t know but to get those information you must have scraped trough 100 of hours of hearing and must have read 1000ths of pages. And you still managed to understand all that filter it put it in context and transformed it into a logical true and easy digestible format where you not only be entertained but learn so much while enjoying true cinematic quality. You give the world everything and talk about the leave of your church and therapy for men and manage to be the coolest and most stylish dude in the room and not make it feel that because you have this strength to show your weaknesses that you are superior. You don’t try to be missionary you just tell what you think while being so humble. And you have managed to make this your living. As a young person on a point where you choose your way in which direction you go and which career you choose finding your channel was truly a game changer for me. To see that people do what they love ( I strongly believe that you love what you do because without that the perfection you deliver is not possible) for a living and be successful and are able to share the passion is literally life changing. I am so lucky to live in a time and in a place where I have the opportunity to see people on the internet do things I would have been to scared to try and have success with it. I might choose a different part than you and you will probably never read this but I just wanted to let you know what kind of an impact you have on peoples live. A friend of mine got motivated from your videos and instead of going on with his business degree he works as a videographer now and travels the world to film hotels to get experience and to learn the skills needed to pursue a career like you. Long text but just thank you for your work and be sure more people appreciate it than you think. I rarely write comments and other people don’t even have a TH-cam account but there are many of us that think like that. Thank you 🙏
@johnny Harris
I love the idiocy of people pushing their religious beliefs on other's.
When will this STOP?
I was eating Dots North Dakota style pretzels while watching this and I just learned why Dots Pretzels taste so good, MSG. I just looked it up, the Umami experience is what I get from eating Dots Pretzels.
Ugh, I actually just went and bought some Dorritos for the first time in YEARS because of this video. Now I remember why I stopped eating them... They taste horrible. Sun Chips are so much better tasting.
MSG is in soooo much stuff. I used to work in an office building with a small restaurant on the main floor. All my coworkers raved about their chief salad. It was simple, cheap iceberg lettuce etc.
I tried it one day, and it was AMAZING. I started getting it regularly. Then I realized that I was getting headaches a few hours after EVERY time I had it.
Then I really started paying attention to the flavor of the salad without any dressing. It was strangely salty and umami.
The light flipped on and I realized that they were washing the lettuce in water full of MSG.
I never ate that salad again.. Told all my coworkers about the headaches and all of them realized that the same thing happened to them.
.... It was apparently a ton of MSG. I'm not joking when I said that the lettuce was "salty".. But it was different then table salt of course.
MSG Is great in small doses... But a lot places that use it go way over board like that place.
I dunno about Canadian Doritos, but Johnny you must get your hands on Mexican Nacho Cheese Doritos. They’re so good. There’s something different about the density and crunch of chip. Oh and the nacho cheese is waaaay more intense with a spicy kick. Find a Latino or Mexican grocery store and get your hands on some Mexican Doritos 🙌
Mexican doritos are wayyy better than canadian. Im canadian
You are my doritos, Johnny. You are the MSG of online documentaries and investigative journalism.
Doesn’t wash hair
Eats Doritos for breakfast
Are you a Mormon or a gamer?
Could he be both?😅
At 14:50 Johnny says that, "Some brilliant corporation invented a substance that tricks my brain."
But at 8:21 he had already explained to us that it was Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda who figured out how to distill pure glutamtate into MSG.
At 15:22 he bemoans how, "Corporate America dupes me by hijacking my physiology."
Yet at 14:22 he was talks about Ikeda's work (intended for the exact same purpose) was intended to "allow these farmers to elevate their meals."
It's fascinating to observe the constant, mindless demonizaton of "corporations" in contemporary American content.
Corporations bad, people good.
When Ikeda creates MSG to market to poor Japanese farmers, he's just an angel try to "elevate their meals." How wonderful!
When it's corporation making your Doritos taste good, they're "hijacking your physiology."
It's almost like he doesn't realize that corporations are groups of....... people? Working together?
Only Johnny Harris can make a 19 minute video on Doritos interesting.
Chips are the Bane of my existence, just having it within reach make me want to eat them by just thinking about it.
But, every single time after I munch through that one package, I always never feel good, just slightly full, chapped lips, and smelly fingers.
Using chopsticks to eat Doritos is hands down one of the best things I’ve learned watching your videos. 😂
Part of the fun is sucking off your fingers after the munch
Compliment? 😬/😜
It’s a very well-engineered food with seed oils, salt, and sugar. Maximum taste, minimal satiety.
I eat plain salted Doritos every day for the salt, this vid made me go check the ingredients fast haha! Here in New Zealand the ready salted ones are only corn, oil and salt. Phew!
@@Spearca there’s actually a fantastic local brand called Proper Chips, but I think Doritos are more heavily salted (surprise surprise) so they fit my needs better as a daily driver.
@@Spearca we don’t have Wegmans here but sounds like I’d be into them haha have a great day!
5:02 (Uncle Roger enters the chat)
Also, I will be heartbroken if he was not consulted in the making of this video lmao
Edit: He wasn’t mentioned.
Why would some fucking nobody be mentioned
MSG finally getting the love it deserves I’ve been putting that shit on everything for years since ragusea made his video on it

@@helpfulcommenter fuiyooh!
Somebody get this man a Dorito sponsorship. 🎉
Sure would beat his Established Titles sponsorship 😂
@@jamestlynn FR. The scammer ones
@@jamestlynn I think it would be good for us as viewers as more money means better content.
Never in my life I imagine watching a high quality, detailed video about why someone eating Doritos for breakfast, but here I am
Love this collaborations, two of my favorite channels doing stuff toghether,, cheers to both of you Adam Ragusea and Johny!

This video is just like MSG, it tricks you in belivieng that you are learning something complex with all the over-edited scenes.
I agree that I'm not usually a huge fan of sweet breakfast items but there's definitely plenty of savory American breakfast, on my eggs and hashbrowns and such I put a spice blend of salt pepper onion powder garlic powder and the most important, as this video points out, MSG
Makin me hungry
Try scrambled eggs on sour dough with Greek yoghurt sprinkled with dill and then drizzle chilli oil over it.
I love these videos that take a deep dive into your life and weird things. Cuz lets be real, we all have our "weird things" that other people would look at and go "Wait, really?". (Oh and the editing was top notch!)
Feels illegal to be this early
YEA
Definitely
It is, you're going to prison buddy.
I'm glad we are recognizing the ingredients in our food more.
i just added a little cheddar cheese power, a healthy pinch of msg to some homemade popcorn and i can't stop eating it. this isn't the first time i learned how msg is the fifth sense of taste. i saw a popcorn taste test video a while back and finally tried it. unbelievable.
Nutritional yeast is also great on popcorn, and it's fairly good for you (has a number of B vitamins, potassium, and zinc, as well as protein)!
Asians: "Ah, I see you're getting hooked on the secret powder."
I like seeing you have so much fun editing videos now. This feels different from your very serious more 'journalistic' videos. kudos!
I finally found another person who eats chips with chopsticks! 😂I think they are the best.
I think I’ve seen someone else do that.
wow i remember when my parents would take us to this Japanese place as a kid they would say theyre taking us there cuz the MSG helps with sleep, crazy that was a thought, but also interesting that they didnt pose it as a negative benefit, but a positive benefit
it is a wonderful benefit, which I often feel after eating a good portion of beef or chicken
It also gives a lot of people horrible headaches. (in large amounts)
It’s also been shown to create lesions on the brain, especially in children.
Cheetos with chopsticks were a habit among multiple D&D groups I've been in. Keeps the character sheets legible.
First of all, LIVING for the Doritos ASMR. Second of all, I did notice the chopsticks and Doritos and Third, I approve this iconic behaviour and Oscar Isaac does the same thing but with Cheetos.
