___________________________________________________________________
Tim has a great number of toys in his collection that are edible, as well as some that just pretend to be edible. And - to be honest - a few edible ones that he has had for so long, they have probably become inedible anyway!
'Ah', Tim says, 'that a nose should smell so sweet' as he paraphrases the Bard... 'and taste sweet too...' Well, these are chocolate noses. They came in very fancy packaging, presented like a spray of roses, although the text on the box says Freshly Picked Noses!
One of Tim's earliest toys in this theme comes from the 1960s. It looks like a chocolate sweet called a Walnut Whip. This sweet consists of a base which is a whirl-shaped cone of milk chocolate with a whipped vanilla fondant filling, topped with half a walnut. But Tim's version is a fake - it is made of plastic. Another example is what appears to be a little slice of foil wrapped processed cheese. But beware the person that picks it up - it makes a loud rattling noise! It is a wind up trick toy. Tim explains that his toy collection really began with collecting little practical jokes like these.
Tim then produced four little spinning tops. They were made in Spain, and they will spin, but they are actually sweets - they are made of chewing gum; so, chewable, edible toys. Next up is a rattleback, but this rattleback is made of chocolate! Continuing the chocolate theme, we see a slice of bread with a fried egg and a slice of bacon on top, all made of chocolate. Then, a chocolate tangram. This was given out at a gathering for Gardner about 20 years ago. The pieces of the tangram are foil wrapped chocolate. It is a slightly simplified version - a normal tangram has seven pieces, whereas this one only has five. Or has Tim eaten a couple of pieces?
Next are some really novel items. Tim shows a small plastic container which opens up to dispense little paper squares which, when you put them in your mouth, have a strong mint flavour. These came out around 1992 Tim thinks, and they are called 'papermints'. Next is a little mint sweet, like a Polo mint, except that this one is also a whistle. In this case you put the sweet between your lips and blow. Of course, after a while the sweet starts to dissolve, and it loses its whistle. So, as Tim says, a short life but a sweet one. Next, a finger fidget or spin pop. Of course this is also a sweet, there is a lollipop at each end. And if you are going to lick them it is best to lick them evenly from both ends, so that it still spins evenly, and does not get lopsided. Tim then shows his favourite one from this little collection; these are some small jelly type sweets which you can eat, but the instructions explain that you have to be careful not to eat the little LED and battery inside the sweet. Tim demonstrates this by picking up the sweet in a pair of plastic tweezers and giving it a little squeeze, and lo and behold, the sweet starts glowing inside. Of course, the whole thing is a little joke - there are batteries and a bulb inside the tweezers, and when you squeeze something in the tweezers they light up. But it does really look as if the little jelly sweets are glowing inside. A nice misdirection toy.
Next, a chocolate replica padlock. There have been many workshop tools made from chocolate in recent years, spanners and screwdrivers etc. But mostly they have been brown in colour, and look like old rusty tools. This padlock is more a silver colour, so that is slightly unusual.
Tim then shows some unusual types of food. Firstly, Pork Floss. This came from Singapore, and it really is pork that has been dried and combed into a fluffy state. You can eat it as is, or use it to garnish a steak or an omelette. Then Tim shows some edible postcards he picked up in Holland about 20 years ago. The envelope is normal enough, but the card inside is made of rice paper. The greeting has been printed with vegetable dyes, so these are edible as well. In the 1990s, there were a variety of foods available in the USA on the theme of astronauts and space travel. In this case, it is Astronaut Strawberries. The strawberries have been mushed up and freeze dried, so they keep very well in the packet. And when you munch on them, they do indeed taste of strawberries. Tim then shows a special stick of seaside rock he had specially made in 1992. He has a very big Christmas card list, he sends out over 150 cards every year. And in 1992, Tim also sent out these sticks of rock. Embedded inside the rock, it says Merry Xmas from Tim! These came from Blackpool, a famous seaside town, and apparently the rock had a 'Christmas Pudding' flavour!
Finally, Tim shows a few more inedible edibles, in this case some slices of meat and cheese. Very realistic, but they are made from plastic. What can you use them for? Well, they are coasters, for putting mugs or coasters on. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
"Tim, did you enjoy that chocolate breakfast gift?"
"Yes, indeed, I've placed it on my shelf. Very nice."
LMAO
@@WorldsWorstBoy L M A O
I heard his voice in my head as I read that.
That does sound like something he'll say lol
I mean, do you think anyone gives things to this man without the realisation hes going to put it into one of his collections?
Not gonna lie, I was fully expecting to see Tim get as high as a kite in this one from the title.
Can you imagine? LOL
Ganja from the Nile?
@@MonsieurAuContraire Incredible edibles from the Nile 😂
Who's to say he didn't 😁🌬
3:59
He's taking a dose hahah
I feel the camera person doesn't get enough recognition. Great smooth camera handling, being basically unnoticeable, which it should be.
He used to work for BBC.
I've thought that on so many of these videos. The camera work is very well done.
I absolutely agree, as much as I love Tim, the camera person has done such a good job recording all the joy the toys contain.
Same, I noticed the camera work. It's pretty interesting to think about the behind the scenes of these videos.
when Tim's mom told him to stop playing with his food, then he whips out his edible toy collection
"Wait, that's illegal!"
ZakkuEmanyueru or whips out the 12 inch
plot twist: the grand illusions are brought on by ingesting edibles
You just got practical joke'd bruh! Chill it is just a practical joke bruh.
@@kimberg2539 practical but lame
@@sameeersm i suppose you'd say it was practically lame? Eh? Eh? Ill see myself out now...
And dont forget, by drinking water from the nile
Underrated comment
Tim had me fully convinced there was a computer in that jelly bean.
😂😂😂
5:15
There is not????! /!
the great thing is that once Tim is done showing off all of these decades old foodstuffs he has accumulated, he can take it over next door and let Ashens eat it.
**”Bloody Hell”**
Would love to see tht collab, it could still happen
I wish I was one of Tim's long-suffering friends.
hundredhands Don’t we all!
SAME
you look like a very funny neighbor of mine
Cant wait for the next episode for Tim to show us his 'baking' skills
Tim gets baked
You want to show us your gas carburetor?
No; we're going to decarb the gas.
Props to Tim for putting some of these questionably aged foodstuffs in his mouth.
There is a restaurant and candy shop at Universal Studios called the "Toothsome Chocolate Emporium," and they have an entire section devoted to everyday objects made of chocolate, such as pocketwatches, keyrings, and hand tools.
Search for Ashens, he's always eating out of date food stuffs :P
Well those peppermint sute last a long while solo...
th-cam.com/video/jZoHuMwZwTk/w-d-xo.html
let me introduce you to steve
Oh boy, nothing beats New England Wildlife and his collection of old cans
th-cam.com/video/rviwCbieDBc/w-d-xo.html
Toothsomes is the best! Did you read the lore of that place?
I've been watching this man since YEARS and he never runs out of stuff, how does he do it?
Tim has said in a previous video his collection includes over 40,000 items
Well, the world is a gigantic place my friend.
Water from the nile
Puritania never say interwebs please. It’s just internet.
@@mighty6588 interwebs
Did Tim say he's been into edibles since the 1960s?
That tab of mint wasnt actually mint ;-) if you know what i mean.. haha
@@hptfalcon1683 was looking for this comment yes ty :p
@@hptfalcon1683 no I don't know what you mean I'm confused
Its kinda funny when you realize in the early 1900s everything was an edible
@@bread64 he's talking about tabs of LSD
Just imagining if this video really was just Tim on the floor, mumbling and tripping, after consuming edibles for like 10 minutes...
It'd take a lot longer than 10 minutes for the edible to hit
Bruh
Haha looks like someone does drugs lol
lmao
3:49 Those "paper mints" are more common than you think. I see them regularly at the pharmacy: they're Listerine PocketPaks
They're awesome
Yup I've seen them long advertised before as breath fresheners, but maybe they aren't as common in England as they are in the USA
@@oinkleberry I remember them from the 90s to early 2000s, they were really popular for a short while. Haven't really seen them a lot since then.
I love that Tim even preserves perishable items lmao
I've been eating that chewing gum for years, and only now I realized, they are spinning tops!
Juraj Joščák how did you not know is so obvious
@@BarryaLLen-ik8bq I know this was 7 months ago but he was joking
Hey lets go out for pizza.
Tim: "Oh I love pizza, they are a extraordinary dinner plate."
Tim eating these old edibles without a sip of water from the Nile, extraordinary. Heh.
The way Tim says chocolate with his accent makes me really hungry for chocolate 😅
I only ever noticed this on a subconscious level. But now that you mention it, I completely agree!
I didn't notice but that's probably because I have the same accent.
Tim knows his audience.
6:00
If the light is actually a part of the tweezers....
*Then **_why_** are you keeping that ancient jelly bean??????*
Baki Hanma Probably to keep the gag believable. If he replaced the jelly bean people would notice the jelly bean seems to fresh and figure out it was a gag.
Just in case
You're supposed to defeat Yujiro wtf you doing here?
2 reasons, 1: to make it seem more believable "I got this about 30 years ago." "Then why does it still look fresh?". 2: maybe there was actually something novel about the jelly but he forgot to talk about it.
You don't replace original parts on a collector's item! Are you mad?!
Imagine how that pork floss must have tasted after eating those mints first. Tim does this so we don't have to.
It's nasty even without
@@Hyderomastgroningem0 I would still try it at least once...
pork floss doesn’t taste like dental floss - it’s basically very very pulled jerky-like pork to the point it looks like candy floss.
@underground leaks 101 shut up forever it's horrible
Tim: ate the 20yrs old food and it does'nt effect him
Me:"NICE"
May I recommend the channel Ashens. He has a whole series of eating really old food
My god the OG fidget spinner. Now we need to find out how many got yeeted
"Lick both sides evenly to maintain stability" - I'll have to try that with my girlfriend, maybe that's what I've been doing wrong.
Girls love it when you keep their center of gravity balanced
Lmao
okay what the fuck is wrong with you
@@Flint_YT its just a joke
@@Xatzimi I mean, who fricks their partner diagonally or sideways?
Last time I had Tim's Incredible Edibles I melted into a couch cushion for 4 hours.
I had a different thing in mind when I read edibles.
Imagining Tim as a little kid playing jokes on the grownups in his life brings me immense joy
Sometimes life gets so overwhelming, and difficult, that the only thing that distracts me from all this death and crying and suffering is watching Tim and his toys, it brings me such peace, it’s the only thing that helps me sleep. Thank you Tim, really.
My boy lookin like a snack himself!
Wizard of Loneliness why are you sexualizing Tim like this
Tim is a drug
Cecily Erker because he is lonesome
@@cecilyerker Because Tim is a handsome man with plenty of stories to share.
Lookin' good enough for a poke!
Judging by the comments, looks like I'm one of the few people who DIDN'T think of weed edibles since Tim is too pure for that sort of thing.
oh! so that's what everybody means , yeah i didn't think of weed edibles too 😁
How is Tim "too pure for that sort of thing"? What the hell does that even mean?
@@Kloxbyn first time here, eh?
I think there's good evidence for this. He had a "Bong Pong" toy in an episode but didn't seem to understand what it was referencing at all
Very slick product placement, Tim! “Some of your favorite mugs” indeed
I remember Listerine selling those breath strips for awhile back in like the early 2000s and I've bought small "dip" can containers of that pork floss stuff before. Kinda miss both now. Lol
they still sell them, they're just very expensive
@@beetle__bug Are they? I'm seeing them go for like 4 bucks on most major retailer sites
Mint tabs are like $1.
The amount of times he smacked his lips😂😂
"White chocolate, yellow chocolate, streaky bacon chocolate..."
Edibles lol, now I see why he is so chi all the time
the whistle and the paper mint was literally my childhood,,,, they were popular in my area
An intriguing title I must say. Heh.
heh.
Heh.
Heh.
Heh.
*Heh.*
It always amazes me that Tim has no problem using, destroying, or eating items in his collection for our entertainment. Thank you Tim! 😊
Those tweezers are very nostalgic for me, i can still taste those chemically little gummy bugs
Listerine used to make those gelatin paper mints for refreshing your breath on the go
They still do, I think. They're like candy. I frickin love em. The little mint rush you get initially as it binds to your tongue is ALMOST too strong, makes you wince a little. Probably the menthol-iest thing I can tolerate. Even with that intensity, they're so good.
They still do. I have some in my pocket right now. They don't contain gelatin. (The ingredients do list carageenan, a vegetarian/vegan alternative to gelatin.)
They still do! I made a tiny paper crane from one once.
no one mentioning lsd?
I remember people selling paper mints as a candy, kinda rare nowadays
I had an incredible edible and now I'm watching this incredible video about this incredible guy showing us his collection of incredible edibles.
Has Tim seen that Japanese TV show where half the things in the room is made of food?
I think he'd love the idea
It's like I'm a kid again in class listening to one of my favorite teachers .Good show man
I love your channel Tim. Thank you so much for all that you do. I love seeing all of the little things that you have collected. Keep up the awesomeness!
i feel like such a special guest that Tim even will actually eat his collection just for me 🥺
oh I remember those paper mints. they were great.
Found this channel just when I needed it. Thanks Tim.
Tim trolling us is actually the best thing ever.
Legend! the western man knows of the 肉鬆! in Hong Kong, there is a bread called 肉鬆包, which is porkfloss bread and it taste pretty good. It is also spicy porkfloss sometimes, or sometimes mixed with seaweed.
"Pork floss" is common in Serbia. Although it's an expensive version of "Pork cracklings", because it's usually with longer "fibers", we call it "tobacco cracklings".
Saw the video's title and instantly thought Tim had gone full 420.
what a wholesome channel. just subscribed.
Pork floss was once featured on an Ashens video.
He also had fish floss, amongst the usual dubious food-stuffs.
5:20 well that just sounds like a choking hazard
Very often, when I come across a channel I like, I tend to binge watch it and end up with nothing to watch or have to wait until the next video. I have decided with yours that I like it so much, I am going to take my time and treat myself to it a little slower! Extraordinary content! Thanks so much!
What a lovely idea
03:58 we have that in Indonesia and yes, the mint is extremely strong even when compared to other candies with the same flavor
05:07 also, that's a literal candy fidget spinner lmao
10:32 also the smoothest merch introductions
that's a finger fidget! not a fidget spinner!
Ooh I remember those thin mint sheets. It was so fun to take them out and let them dissolve on the tongue, just to be hit with extreme mint flavor. Miss those, haven’t seen them in years.
@@iamsandwich they haven't sold those more for months now. Which is a damn shame tho
@@ShatteredGlass916 They're sold here in the US just about everywhere lol. Listerine, a company known for their mouth wash, has their own.
Mmmm twenty year old candy.
That would fit perfectly next to the fluffy mints at grandmas
Damn , didn't know Tim was into edibles like that, he be wild doe
loving those coasters
A new Grand Illusions, you say?
We are always here to enjoy your collection!
This is fantastic.
I'm a 20 year old man. I've watched his videos on toy guns out of humor but now I'm hooked in his collection.
My favorite is the umbrella collection. I'm your biggest fan ( litterally)
Whoever named this just knew what they were doing >_>
I really love this channel. If Bob Ross still lived you two would change the whole TH-cam with your warm voices and calming videos
Lovely. I could really go for a snack right about now.
I got some incredible edibles too.
I literally love this man
Ah, you kids and your lingo !!
Over in our neck of the woods, we put pork floss on our rice and mix it about to incorporate it into the rice and you end up with a tasty bowl of rice. Useful if you only have rice and nothing else to have it with, though our pork floss is fluffy and not like solid clumps.
love this mans videos
Love your videos
Thank you Tim for this amazing title!
Honestly when I saw this title I thought this was a YTP.
I don't think Tim's friends are long-suffering at all, they're very lucky!
4:35 Toot Sweets! :)
The treat that's so tweetable!
A bonbon to blow on
Haha cute toot
SLICK! That merch plug was sweet! Subtle so it feels like u just saw a secret...a leak. Love it!
Oh wow, I got those exact same astronaut strawberries at Cape Canaveral when I was 10!
new life goal is to get on tims xmas card list. what a joy it must be to receive well wishes from such a cool guy
Now this is giving a whole new meaning to the phrase 'playing with your food'. :)
Haha the light up jelly bean got me!
Just making me smile as usual
Dank vid bro!
Tim: "Oh dear. I do believe that these edibles aren't quite up to par-"
0:00
Tim you absolute mad lad
Judging from the amount of interesting items he’s collected over the years, I would imagine Tim’s collection of edibles would rival the likes of Tommy Chong and Snoop Dogg
This dude is the coolest grandpa ever
I love how he chuckles at his own trinket at 4:21
I love this guy
These videos do get a lot more fun with some incredible edibles
When I saw these Paper mints I felt do god damn nostalgic. My mom used to by me those when I were a kid, because I always liked them. :D
I miss the old times.
I love this guy's voice
Tim be off dem edibles 😂😂😭💯
I wonder what else Tim likes that you can eat and also be admired
I remember those mints! They were popular at school back when I was still a kid in the 90s.
I had to come drop a like on this and support my dear grandpappy
I can imagine tim just smokin some weed
Tim alway spins the rattle back the wrong way first and thinks it’s right, then spins the right way and is equally impressed
It's kinda funny seeing pork floss, which is sold everywhere in my country (and most housewives make it in bulk), being considered an exotic collectible.
“You could keep it in your pocket, or your handbag, or your pocket” lmao
