The voice that we love that am.
The Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite Plus card gives me 4% cash back on all of my monthly bills.
With cash like that, I can upgrade my subscriptions to be ad-free.
Because I've got enough.
Distractions.
Conditions apply.
Scotia Bank, you're richer than you think.
In front of me are the most iconic foods from the past 100 years.
We've got Kool-Aid from 1942, rare canned Doritos from 1995, and so much more.
And this is all real, unopened food.
But I have a few questions.
Will this ancient bottle of Coke still be fizzy?
Can this 50-year-old cake mix still bake a nice cake?
Will these potato chips still be crunchy?
I've brought my friend Parza to help me out.
What's up, buddy?
And just so you understand how crazy it is that we got all this food,
I've spent the past year buying every unopened vintage food item on the internet.
To my accountant, Jared, please skip this next part here.
spend exactly $16,198.43 cents.
We're going to start 100 years ago with a collection of food from the 1920s.
During this time, people ate a lot of canned goods and preserved items due to limited fresh produce.
At the same time, cars were becoming a new and exciting way to get around.
This right here is genuine almond paste.
It feels like such a well-made jar also.
Like, I feel like this wouldn't be made like this.
It's very sturdy.
I have no idea how to open this thing.
I think we lift this up in Polish.
Go for it.
Oh, did you just break it?
I might have broken it.
Um, yeah, we're gonna need a can opener.
Oh no.
Watch out.
Watch your hands.
Boom!
Oh my god.
Oh, watch your hands.
That looks delicious.
I can't even dig into it.
Oh, it smells like molasses.
Yeah, exactly.
I just can't believe this piece of food is over 100 years old.
That doesn't make sense to me.
Kind of long gone, huh?
I feel like it's not really an almond paste anymore.
Let's jump to this honey.
Should we just pull it out?
Yeah.
Oh, this is amazing.
That's wildflower.
Honey let's get a wine opener maybe is it working I think so
you might have no choice with the break this that right there is honey from the
1920s as you can see it looks a lot darker than the honey that we have here
today odds you try that is this dangerous it's all right how is it one to ten like
perfect it's some of the best flavored honey that I've ever had but it's a little
bit numbing on your mouth that's really concerning I would keep flushing with as
much water as possible for like a 30 second our
Second to last food from 1920 is this jar of whole cloves.
If you don't know what cloves are, it's basically a spice
that you'd often smell in Christmas.
That smells like Christmas.
It's still got every bit of fragrance here.
It's almost like this is brand new.
Can I take this home with me?
So let's look at this last one here.
This is Imperial Granum.
And I would definitely say this box looks the oldest
of all the foods we have today.
Yeah, what is that, Nick?
It says it's a pure extract of wheat
that forms with milk unnourishing food.
Prescribed for expectant and nursing mothers.
What is that?
Oh my god, there's instructions.
This is a guide somebody was supposed to use in 1920.
That's crazy.
That's insane.
Let's jump to 1930.
As you might remember from history class, the main event from the 1930s was the Great Depression.
During this time, families relied on simple, pre-prepared foods for cheaper meals.
I say we start with the Cracker Jacks.
The more you eat, the more you want.
If you haven't had Cracker Jacks, they're supposed to be a cluster of this caramel-coated popcorn and peanuts.
Oh, no way.
Oh my God.
This is crazy!
It's got the surprise toy inside.
What is it?
A baseball car.
Oh, that's actually crazy.
That's insane.
This is vintage, folks.
I would try this.
I really would.
Actually?
Yeah.
This is not good.
Next up, we got this penny drink.
So instead of buying a Coke or a Sprite, you just throw that in a little glass of water.
It makes total sense given it was during the Great Depression.
Open it up.
What color is it going to be?
Whoa!
It's like grape soda!
This drink that you're looking at right here is from the Great Depression.
Just think about that for a minute.
This would probably kill you.
Yeah, there's something really weird about this.
weird about this. Next up we got Quaker grits. I actually grew up eating these quite often.
Back up a little bit. Yeah, go ahead. It still looks so perfect on the inside. This is like nothing
ever changed. You could probably eat this right now, honestly. Grits from 90 plus years ago,
and this looks perfect. Going off those grits, let's talk about this jiffy porridge right here.
Mother Jackson, is that Aunt Jemima's sister-in-law? Wait, this is crazy how this is packed up.
I'm hit with a whiff at us. That's not healthy. That can't be good for you. Last one before we jump to the
1940s is this late 1930s little box of grape nuts.
Have you ever had grape nuts cereal?
I don't know what that is.
Wheat and barley and corn and looks kind of like a mouse poop.
Oh, it smells like dust.
I never thought that a lot of this food would smell like dust.
Moving on to the 1940s, cooks had to get creative
since food was being rationed during World War II.
For example, people would use powdered eggs for breakfast
and carrots were used to get sweetness
and some desserts such as cookies
since sugar was so hard to find.
Let's start with this Coke here.
We're about to answer one of my questions.
Will this still be fizzy?
I think it will.
I'm gonna bet on Coke right here.
I'm gonna say absolutely not.
Whoops.
Ooh.
Oh, I hear fish.
No, not a-
I hear fish.
Not a single drop of fizz in there.
I'm trying.
No way.
Oh.
Oh.
Mmm.
It's fizzy.
Yep.
You all we- I won that bet.
It tastes horrible.
Mm-mm.
Let's get a slow motion replay to see if it's actually fizzy on camera.
It doesn't look fizzy.
That's carbonation to me, Nick.
This is a jar of Morton salt from the 1940s.
First of all, can I just say I love the branding.
I think they should have stuck with the branding that they have on here.
I guarantee it looks exactly same.
It opens the same.
Salt is salt.
I'm not going to say that it looks better than the Osmo from 2023.
That's for sure.
I've been very excited for this one.
Cool-Aid.
Imitation strawberry flavor.
The Kool-Aids are going to get crazier and crazier as we move on forward through the decades.
But this one right here is the oldest one we could find in the internet.
This is the OG right here, huh?
Oh, oh my God.
Oh, it's working.
Oh, yeah.
There's something else here now.
Something new.
From exclusively on Paramount Plus,
it's the series Stephen King calls Scary as Hell.
Everything here is impossible, but it's also real.
Sci-fi vision calls it the best show streaming right now.
We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules.
Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch.
Saving those children is how we all go home.
From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus.
It's that...
Oh my God, is it that bad?
So sour.
Final one, strawberry preserve jam.
This is my favorite.
The other kind of peanut butter jelly, can't go wrong.
Ooh, that smells like molasses.
Interesting.
I'm feeling like everything that has sugar in it
is going to smell like molasses.
That wouldn't go too well on a PB&J.
This is just black.
That is not good.
You ready to go to the 1950s?
Let's do it.
In the 1950s,
50s after the war ended, there was a rise in popularity of convenience foods. Many fast food
brands were founded during this time and some of the most common foods were TV dinners,
casseroles, and jello. I've been eyeing this one. What is this? Reese confetti popcorn.
So it's popcorn with food coloring on it? This is crazy. This is insane. Oh, I got it. Actually, I don't think I got it.
Oh, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. I got an idea. Oh my god. Oh, mo! Our oil is smoking.
So I'm going to go ahead and add these all in.
Are they going to be colored or not?
100%.
I'm going to say, no, they're going to be regular white popcorn.
Always popping.
Regular popcorn.
If you look up close, the shells were the only thing that were colored.
The popcorn stays completely the same.
And the craziest thing is, it looks like a perfect piece of popcorn.
I'm going to eat one.
I don't know about you.
Try it.
It is so stale.
We're going back to the sodas.
We got this Canada Dry from 1956 and...
We got a 7-up here.
Everybody loves that game.
You hear that.
That's still really carbonated.
Let's see the canadage.
All right, ready?
Nothing.
Nothing.
And that brings us to these classic jello and pudding packages.
Should we make the jello or the pudding?
Mm, jello.
Let's do it.
We're gonna go into this bowl with one cup of very hot water.
Whoa, this is caked.
I feel like jello from 1957 isn't gonna dissolve right.
I will also say that the yellow color is not what I thought it would be.
But maybe jello back then was just more naturally colored.
Once it's dissolved, we then add one cup of cold water.
It says pour into mold and chill until set.
We're gonna place this in the fridge and come back to it later in the video.
Hopefully it actually sets.
In the 1960s, people wanted quick and convenient cooking,
and instant foods became very popular.
Color TV also became popularized, becoming the new normal over black and white.
And from the looks of some of the packaging here, even some of the food seemed to get more colorful.
Once again, I got ripped off by a couple items.
Open and empty. Not okay, guys, not okay.
This right here is iconic.
This is a can of Campbell's Cream of celery soup.
That is iconic. Everybody knows Campbells.
This is one of those ones that we definitely cannot eat,
but I want to see what it looks like on the inside.
Oh no.
Smells so bad.
No.
It's stained our cutting board.
Next up, we have these golden butter bits candies.
They put another one of these keys on top.
What is everyone's obsession with opening stuff with keys?
Look at that.
Oh my god.
They're fine.
That looks the exact same as what's on the cover.
They're perfect.
Let me see this.
It smells like a little bit of peanut part.
Butter scott.
A little bit of butter.
of butterscotch.
Yeah.
This is a winner we got here, huh?
Incredible.
We've got more grape nuts here.
I just love to see the transition and the branding from a little bit before to now.
Nobody likes grape nuts, but I like grape nuts.
Alphabet macarone.
Super cool.
Two for 25 cents.
Eating for days on this budget.
Do you think they have the entire alphabet in here?
We gotta see.
No way.
This is the coolest thing we've opened.
They have everything here.
They also have numbers.
This is delicious, it says, in soups and salads.
You know where I'm going with this, right?
What are you going to spell?
Subscribe. I love it.
Catalog is cornflakes from 1960.
Open it.
Cornflakes seemed like one of those things to me
that you could have for 200 years,
and it would never get messed up.
Let's listen for the sound.
That is crispy.
They smell like that old book
sitting on the bookcase shelf in your grandma's house.
An old map of pangia, I would say.
Two dozen French snails imported from France
in this jar right here.
I'm not opening this.
That sounds gross.
A strained asparagus puree.
I want to see if it's still green.
There's rustic.
falling off the packaging as it opens.
Oh, oh, my God.
It's still green.
Oh, it smells no.
It smells so bad.
Get it out of the building, please.
Next, we got one of my favorite things, chocolate syrup.
Oh, my God.
$50,000.
It didn't cost that much, but it's the brand, I think.
It's like the 100 grand bar, you know.
Oh, oh, God.
Smells like chocolate.
Oh.
Whoa.
Looks great.
I mean, this looks like perfect chocolate syrup.
This is stood the test of time.
I would put that on a chocolate.
Sunday. For our last food of the 1960s, we've got this Maxwell House instant coffee.
It's still got that perfect seal on there. Smell the aroma. Is it going to be clumped together,
you think, or is it going to be like granular coffee? Oh my God, we got a nice layer of mold.
Oh, no! But if you dig past that sad layer of mold, you're left with perfect fresh coffee grounds,
which, when they go into some hot, boiling water, seem to still make you a good old cup of Joe.
We've moved on to the 1970s where items like microwavable meals and canned soups revolutionized the kitchen.
Personal computers were starting to become mainstream and the first email ever was sent in 1971.
First off, this Coke bottle cost you $200.
In 1970, this was 5 cents, so safe to say you got ripped off.
The other Coke bottle was barely carbonated.
This one seems like it actually might have a ton of carbonation.
I would say it's got about half the fizz that it does today.
One really cool thing you can tell during this time was that clearly characters were starting to get introduced.
We have the Kool-Aid man for the first time.
We've got Mr. Peanut from Planters,
and we have this old guy from Quaker Oates.
Oh, yeah, he's the man.
I love that guy.
This is the coolest peanut jar I've ever seen.
That seal is still on the outside.
And as you can see, it's so old
that it's sort of turned this yellow offish color.
Pour them out on here.
These look as regular as any peanut I've ever seen.
This right here.
This is a jar of maple syrup.
Oh, you know what?
No.
It's 89.5% sugar syrup and 10.5% of maple sugar syrup.
That's how they get you, folks.
Should we try it?
Definitely.
Oh, that was clean.
The color is spot on.
Wow.
Here goes nothing.
That is so good.
Perfect.
To finish off 1970, we have another version of Quaker Oats.
Again, the branding is really developed here.
I personally like this packaging a lot better than anything we've seen so far.
There's more color, just like we've moved to color TV over black and white.
These look good to me.
Oats seem to withstand the test of time.
Speaking of which, the jello.
Does it look?
Okay, here's what I'll say.
It's starting to take the form and kind of characteristics of Jello.
It's not there yet.
I think we put it back in and we check it again in a little bit.
Let's do it.
In 1980s is where stuff really starts to heat up and get excited.
During this time, people were all about indulgence.
They started to eat a lot more unhealthy foods,
and fast food became one of the most popular cuisines in the entire world.
I'm personally most excited about these late chips we got right here.
Like I said earlier, I want to know if these are actually still crunchy.
I bet they are.
I don't think so.
I kind of want to start off with this ancient jar of olive oil.
You can see at the bottom here,
there's these chunks of this sort of fat,
and this oil has completely separated.
Ooh.
It just doesn't look right.
Ooh, it smells like motor oil.
This is not safe to try.
Let's move on to these.
Star Wars, Episode 1, Fruit Snacks.
That is crazy. Should we duel over these?
What?
Oh my god.
They're all dark, and all the dye leaked into the bag,
except for the green ones.
I can't tell who these characters are.
Who's that?
Uh, I've never seen Star Wars.
I've never seen Star Wars.
You Ford.
This right here is a funnel cake mix.
It kind of reminds me of those modern day pancake mixes
where it's just a powder.
Half cup of cold water.
It's easy.
Into here, I missed a bunch of it.
Screw on the lid.
Shake it up.
Oil into the bottom of our pan.
Let's make a 1980s funnel cake.
Oh, it's working.
That's crazy.
It's working.
No way.
Miss Wilson, we did it.
This is a funnel cake from 1980.
I think this is the best funnel cake I've ever seen in my life.
Let's finish with these smallest little tube of lifesaver.
ever. You think they're still going to have their color? Oh, it kind of does have the color still.
I just want to point out that they're branding back then and their their tagline was pretty
terrible. The candy with the hole. Yeah, I don't know about that one. That brings us to this
cereal here, Count Chocula. It is a chocolate flavored frosted cereal with chocolate flavored
marshmallows. This was very difficult to get, by the way. It smells like dusty chocolate.
Oh, that doesn't sound too good. I've been very excited to open up these very young, tender sweet peas.
It's a weird label.
Weird way to talk about it.
Oh!
Dude, they're perfect green peat.
What?
They look edible.
Look at the recommended used by date.
December 1983.
We're a little late, I think.
I just remember the jello, which, let's be real,
it's been in the fridge long enough.
It's just not gonna work.
That isn't happening.
But I want to try another experiment.
The Spanish rice, which by the way,
cost you 53 cents back in the day,
this is the first thing we've seen
where it's a just add water meal ready,
in just 12 minutes. But we're both tasting it if we make this. Fine. Deal. There's a little flavoring here.
A little seasoning packet. Completely caked up and sticky. And we'll just let this go for 12 minutes.
I don't think we need to open another Coca-Cola, but the bottle does look pretty cool. Let's quickly taste this peanut butter.
The first part about this I notice is there's no seal of any kind. Like someone could have just come in here and just done whatever they want to it and closed it back up.
Expiration date, February 20th, 1987. What the heck? That doesn't look too bad. No, it doesn't. It's still. It's still.
smooth. How does it smell? Oh my god, that's horrible. But I'm actually way more excited
about this corn right here. People still seem to be obsessed with corn. And this right here is a
corn that pops on the cop. Wow. Here's how you do a popping corn on the cop. I hope this doesn't
light my microwave on fire. I think the popping is slowed down enough that I'm going to take it out.
What in the world? 1980s popcorn still good. Our last food from the 1980s. This is one thing started to
get a little more expensive. Two bucks for potato chips? That's a big jump from where we were earlier.
Feel how the bag feels different. This feels very dense at the bottom. They don't feel crispy to me.
Are these barbecue flavor? This is what it looks like if you make potato chips by yourself at home.
We had one question when we came in here. Do they still have the crunch? That's a crunch. They have
the crunch. That's the crunch. 1990s? I'm ready if you are. Let's go. In the 1990s, snack foods
dominated the supermarkets and brands ramped up using mascots and athletes to market their products.
I love snacks and we were both born in the 1990s, so this is probably the decade that I'm
actually most excited to check out. First off, here's the cake mix that I brought up earlier.
Do you think this is actually going to bake a cake? I mean, Betty Crocker is a classic.
She's a legend, but if it's any indication from the cake we made earlier, the funnel one,
this is probably going to work. I just feel like after 30 plus years, it's not going to rise
properly, so I don't think it's going to work, but we'll save this one for later in the video.
Let's start with Lunchables. So this is the Ham and Chester.
Oh, oh no. This just throws me back to me. This has everything you need in a lunch. Oh my god. This is what was so good about being a kid from the 90s. We got to eat this. Now, unlike every other food that we've gotten in this video, the luncheables we bought today since they're so incredibly perishable. This is actually fresh from the supermarket now. If I remember correctly, I was pretty good at sharing in middle school, but I am not sharing today. Let's move on to another 90s classic goger. I wish this was as big a thing now as it used to be. I don't think it is. Sometimes.
Sometimes I even freeze them.
What do you do?
Cold or?
I froze them all the time.
The best.
Mmm.
What moment does this take you back to?
After soccer practice.
This takes me to the foot of my driveway
with my brothers all whipping around on bikes.
That's where this takes me.
This is so good.
It's awesome.
Oh my God.
As you can see in this decade,
we have a ton of gum and candy.
First up, look at how incredible this packaging
on the Skittles is and look at the expiration date.
January 7th, 1999.
This expired before we were born.
That's crazy.
Oh, it's all squished.
Yeah, look at that.
That's so cool.
You can still see all the S's,
but it's just one big giant skittle.
This right here I love.
It's a little Tom and Jerry piece of bubble gum.
I used to love watching Tom and Jerry.
I feel like all the bubble gum,
it just didn't hold together.
No, it didn't.
But you know what's interesting about this one?
It's got a tattoo inside.
Think, put it right here.
While we talk about the rest of this candy,
I'm gonna put this tattoo right above my wrist.
And while we wait, let's check out some good old nerd.
You know who's a nerd?
This guy.
Huh?
You got nerds double dip.
You want to open this up?
They look a little moldy.
We saw a few versions of Devil Bubble earlier in the video.
Now they've moved on to that classic yellow and red look.
That's true, I noticed that.
They didn't hold up too well.
And these M&Ms that were actually from the 1992 Winter Olympic Games.
They were the oldest Eminemes we could find,
and they happen to be my favorite, peanut.
Oh, it's just dust and shells.
These did not stand the test of time.
Do we think the tattoo worked?
I have faith.
Oh, boom.
We also found these gummy lifesavers,
which I really miss lifesavers now that I think about it.
So good.
Put them out.
Oh.
They look like olives.
Every single one is turned black.
They were supposed to be green, white, red.
How did that happen?
And this Kool-Aid slushy mix.
I guess people wanted to start making slushies at home.
That's the coolest I think the Kool-Aid man is ever.
Look, he's just looking like a stud.
Now we've got another bottle of Coca-Cola.
The branding is updated now once again.
You don't see this a lot today.
This one actually expired January 1st in 2000.
And this brings me to one of the most insane-looking things from the night.
90s, which is this Orbit's Drink.
What is that?
It says it's a naturally fruit-flavored beverage.
This looks like a lava lamp.
This smells pretty good.
Do you remember these Dixie cups that you used to get in school and at parties?
Every birthday party, you had to have those.
This was probably one of the most iconic things from the 90s.
I feel the wax on there?
No way.
Look at that.
Feel how incredible these are?
They all have fun, different, unique designs.
These are just the coolest cups ever.
Should we pour some in?
It's like the old version of Boba.
Let's see.
One of those kernels got stuck on my throat.
I don't know if I love the balls floating around.
Hmm.
Now we have all these different types of mac and cheese.
We have the Christmas style.
We have the mild cheddar, the Ninja Turtles.
These are classics.
Best one purchased by July 4th, 1998.
It just gets worse for.
This box right here, we paid a lot for it.
This is a Michael Jordan special edition box of Wheaties.
Oh my god. That is the legend himself.
I don't think we should open it.
I think we should leave it as it is.
Sacred. Which brings us to two last things.
This cake right here.
cake right here, which I am going to test and eat if it works, and these super difficult to get,
can Cheetos and Doritos, which we spend $150 on, and back in the day, they were just 50 cents.
They expired in January of 97 and 98.
It is scary how untouched these look.
These expired in 1998.
This looks the exact same to me.
That's not right.
Oh, no, I'm good.
And look at this Dorito can.
This is one of my favorite items.
These are also not just nacho cheese.
They're nacho cheesier.
You know, I almost feel bad opening these up, but...
I think they have less of that artificial color that Doritos do now.
I'm sort of a Dorito connoisseur, and these definitely look a little bit more natural to me.
What do you say, Dorito connoisseur?
They're perfect.
Really?
I'm getting a little bit of a weird aftertaste.
Before we move on to the 2000s, we can't forget this vintage cake mix.
Betty Crocker, don't let me down.
Lemon chiffon cake.
Shiffon cake, how do you say it?
Sifon.
It's French.
Is it?
I don't know.
I'm going to go ahead and first empty this packet into the bowl.
That looks and smells not the best.
Two eggs.
And we'll mix it all up.
This is not looking like a cake mix, is it?
Oh, one and a quarter cups cold water.
What do we put?
One quarter.
Oh, Nick was in charge of the water, so.
Oh, we're getting there.
This is cake.
Here we go.
Ooh.
I'll toss this in and we'll check back on this at the end of the video.
Before we move on to the 2000s,
we can't forget we still have this rice to taste.
Why are it crunchy?
Sorry guys, this is bad.
We finally made it to the 2000s where the internet
began to start shaping food trends.
For example, as people got more connected,
there was a rise in popularity for international snacks
such as sushi and hummus.
The first ever YouTube video actually came out
on April 23, 2005.
And now 20 years later, I'm so grateful to be able
to use this same platform to share my love for food
with all of you watching with us right now.
Of all these foods that we have in front of us
from the 2000s, the one that I'm most excited
to dive into is this Twinkie right here.
Before I say,
say anything, do you know what the original flavor of a Twinkie was? Let me guess, uh, chocolate?
Banana. No way. This one is so old that the listing said it was petrified. And I don't know that
there's much that we're going to be able to do with it, but I want to take a closer look once we get there.
Let's do it. Push pop gummy roll. Did you ever have these as a kid? You push it and it pushes out
the gummy and then when you're ready to cut, you push all the way and you tear. That is so cool.
That is really good. This is a throwback for me. These baby,
bottle pops.
You know, I didn't really do a lot of this.
No way.
You take off the top like this and you have this little baby bottle and you unscrew it and
there's all this powder inside.
Right, right.
You suck it.
Dip it in here, dip that upside down, get all the powder on there and then you suck it again.
You like that, Nick?
This reminds me of sitting on the bus trading some kid for this maybe.
I gave him a Pokemon card and he gave me one of these in exchange.
Wow.
Dunkeroo's are a classic.
Those are so good.
Yeah, so I don't actually think my mind.
Mom let me have these as a kid.
So I'm just so happy now where I can freely eat something like this and she's not able to stop me.
I mean, they're pretty good.
I like it.
There's a lot more candy from this time like this vintage little bag of gushers here.
Oh, these are so good.
Look at the difference that we have in vintage foods of the color versus if you throw back to those gummy lifesavers that were just black.
These have stood the test of time for over two decades and they look like this.
Wow.
Around the same time, we got colored goldfish.
I remember when I saw those for the first time in the supermarket aisle.
Goldfish is a delicacy.
Personally, I'm more of a flavor blasted goldfish guy than anything.
And I know these are 20 years old right here,
but these still look like, damn, perfect goldfish.
Oh, these are good.
Next, we've got this jar of chef boyardee beef ravioli.
You call me chef boyardy since.
Sometimes.
Best by July 13, 2002.
Oh my god.
I'm gonna eat it.
No, you're not.
Don't count me in on that one.
Go for it, man.
That is bad.
Oh my god.
Why did you do that?
That's really bad.
Bye.
To finish out the 2000s, we got this lip
in cup of soup. So it's an instant chicken noodle with white meat. A little bit of this yellow
discoloring on the packaging here. Sketchy. Am I still going to do it? Knowing you probably
that's correct. This is so nasty. Where's the white chicken meat? I want the white
oh it's all stuck at the bottom. Oh no. Nick you can't do that. It's gonna make you sick.
Nick don't do it man. This is where I draw the line. To finish off the 2000, this
Twinkie here was so incredibly expensive that we're gonna wear gloves to handle it. As you can
see this is an original hostess Twinkie. I mean, it smells a little bit like banana.
This smells pretty good. I just want to be really careful with this thing. I'm going to very
carefully try to slice through this thing. It's very, very hard. That's so hard. And let's see what's
on the inside. Oh, wow. It does look like a fossil, and in some ways it is. This was literally
sold to me as a petrified Twinkie, which is the same term they use on fossils. Obviously, we can't
eat this one, but it's really cool to see what happens to something like a Twinkie after 20 plus
years. We're in the 2010s now.
years after when we started this video, which means we're very close to present day.
We're all revealed to all of you my favorite snacks in just a few moments.
This decade right here is where you're going to start to see some of your favorite iconic
snacks from today.
We finished on Twinkies before.
Why don't we start with Twinkies now?
Now that's very different.
You can tell right away.
You've got that light, foamy, creamy interior, but now they're flavor vanilla instead of banana like
they were 10 years before.
You know it's weird?
I've never had a Twinkie.
I mean, go ahead.
It's not bad.
No.
Not the best either.
During the 2010s, we also started seeing.
huge trends of things like coconut water, which people want absolutely crazy for.
Something everyone also want crazy for in Nutella.
I mean, this is my most prized possession in the whole world, besides my family and friends,
and you guys.
Damn, must be nice!
And during this time, we also have tons of snack foods which started to dominate the markets even more.
We've got cool ranch Doritos.
Taki's went crazy all over the internet.
We got Funnians, which I know Nick loves.
Definitely one of my personal favorites, but your breath doesn't smell too good after eating them.
And we have Pringles.
And right here we have sour cream and onion, my personal favorite.
And to finish these lays potato chips,
I want to see how they crunch compared to earlier.
Right off the bat, I do want to note,
they don't look homemade anymore.
They don't look like a real potato chip.
The bag was also puffier too.
The bag was way puffier for sure.
I think the bag is also less full.
Oh, definitely. Look at that.
They've started to try to rip you off a little bit more.
But the crunch...
The crunch is good.
We've made it to the 2020s.
It's present day 100 years after where we started.
And in my opinion, this steak
food has some of the most innovative and unique foods out there. In front of me are a few of our favorite snacks and we'll start here with these flavor blasted goldfish
You know you take those colored goldfish from 20 years ago and you compare them to these night and death
Salter here too and the 2020s the food is almost packed with more flavor. There's more intention and research that goes behind what they put into certain foods to make you want to eat more
Oh absolutely you can see that with all these different things and present day we've graduated from coconut water
This right here is cacao water. It's the liquid from the fruit
that makes chocolate. Oh wow. And it's one of my favorite drinks in the entire world. Have you tried it?
Never. Go ahead. It tastes nothing like what I expected. It's insane. It tastes like a mango or a
stronger. Isn't it crazy? But this has all those same superpower nutrients that something like
coconut water has, but who would have thought? That's what I think these present-day foods are all about.
Then you have crazy things like these chicken chips here, which are literally chips that are made out of
chicken. Packed with extra protein though. Can you imagine if someone threw out the idea back in
1920 to make a chip out of chicken. I love you. Wow. And have you never had this? Never.
They're amazing. Another food that I really thought described the 2020s was this moon cheese.
It's just these little freeze dried cheese snacks, but it's just such a strange and weird thing
that you wouldn't have seen. Like, these are so odd. Just little clusters of cheese. Pretty good,
though. We also saw an explosion of seaweed. Everyone seems to love seaweed. I love seaweed.
You know, I can't say the same. Then you have something that you would have never seen in some of the
we looked at before. There's a lot of substitutions now, but not substitutions like they were
trying to do in the Great Depression where they couldn't get foods. This is a candy that's supposed to
taste like regular candy, but doesn't really have any sugar. I love these. Isn't this just a
perfect embodiment of present-day food? We also have these sweet potato scoops. It seems like in the
2020s everybody wants to take food and change it to a completely different shape. Yeah, like a completely
different texture, different shape. That's just the thing in the 2020s. Seems like it. And then you
got these cookies, which are made with almond flour and have a bunch of protein.
in them, but who would have thought of that before?
Those are my favorite.
I almost forgot about our cake that's in the oven.
Is it ready?
Just about, but before that, let's just talk about the fact that this is what popcorn
ended up being.
You don't have to use kernels.
You don't have to use colored kernels.
You don't have to pop it off the cob in a bag.
You just buy it.
Easy as that.
That's real good.
And it doesn't get any easier.
No, check our cake.
Let's do it.
I'll say this.
This baked just about as well as I think a cake would bake from this time.
It's like springy.
This is like a volleyball.
I think the yeast is all.
Oh my God, that looks like eggs.
