The voice that we're going to be
testing the most viral
TikTok food hacks such as
the Skittles popcorn,
Jello Boba and so much more.
We're starting with the
watermelon juice hack
and we're going to be using an
immersion blender
to juice the watermelon
inside the watermelon.
All right, I cut out a hole.
You already see the juice coming out.
Oh, oh!
That's crazy.
Wait, what?
You can either drink it out of the watermelon
or pour it into a glass.
Cheers.
Cheers.
That's a great hack.
Next up is the Skittles popcorn hack.
Apparently, if you go into a pot with a little bit of oil,
add in a few popcorn kernels,
and then cover with some Skittles.
As it pops, the Skittles are supposed to explode
onto the popcorn and make this delicious,
crazy tasting Skittles-flavored popcorn.
It's only been a few minutes,
and these skittles are starting to bubble up and cracks.
It smells super sweet, fruity.
What?
It's happening.
Dude, the colors are crazy.
I thought this was gonna fail.
Oh, I can already see color popcorn.
Dude, what?
That's so sick.
That's crazy.
So here's a perfect cluster of our Skittles popcorn.
You got yellow there, red there, green there.
It's rainbow popcorn.
Wait a second.
Hold on.
That is good.
I did not expect that to actually taste good.
It's a little sour, right?
It tastes weird almost.
Okay, now the after taste is kind of weird.
It's actually pretty bad.
Mm-hmm.
Supposedly, if you put milk in a foam soap dispenser,
it foams the milk for you.
Basically just like a homemade milk frothic.
I don't believe this one.
I don't either, but it would save a lot of time
for your morning coffee.
100%.
We'll fill it up with some whole milk.
Dude, I will be mind-blown if this works.
I'm not even lying.
I'll do this every day.
Oh!
It's working!
I thought never in a million years would this work.
Wait, no way.
Bro, who finds these things?
This doesn't make any sense.
The thing is, it kind of does make sense,
but I don't know who would try it.
This hack works.
Next up is this Kool-Aid and Pickles hack.
All you do is dump the pickle juice into a bowl,
then add in one packet of that nice bright red Kool-Aid.
My favorite flavor.
And about a half cup to three-quarters cup of sugar.
That can't be helped.
Then we simply whisk it up,
pour it back into the pickle jar to cover all the pickles.
Then you toss on the lid and let it refrigerate
for about a week.
We'll come back to these and check on them a little later in the video.
This is the easiest way to coat your chicken nuggets
with your favorite sauce.
Of course, McDonald's chicken nuggets, best
I think. I'm gonna go ranch. Ooh, I do sweet and sour. So very simply you open up your nuggets
drown those nuggets in the sauce. And once that's covered, shake it up as best you can to make sure
you get maximum coating on those nuggets. After you open it up, wow. It looks good. Okay, that's sick.
Let's see if it actually tastes any difference. It's actually coated really well. I mean,
the whole nuggets covered. With that said, you have to be willing to get your fingers really dirty. And it takes
a lot of time. While this hack does work, I'd probably call it a fair. Same. There's a similar hack that's
specific to crispy chicken sandwiches that I'm excited to try.
So very simply, you take out your sandwich,
remove the buns, place the chicken back into the bag,
then you'll take the sauce of your choice,
squeeze and dump that back into the bag,
then you just close it up and shake.
Whoa. Oh no. Oh no, I was so excited about this hack too.
But I will say my chicken is coated quite well.
I think this is a success for sure, except that.
People say cinnamon rolls are better made in a waffle maker than in an oven.
I will say I'm a huge fan of using waffle makers to cook just about anything.
I have a recipe in my cookbook for waffle hash browns.
Whoa.
Can you cook some for me after this video?
Absolutely.
All right, first we're going to spray down the whole waffle machine.
Then we'll place down our cinnamon rolls, one on each of the sections,
and close it down to let them cook.
A few minutes later, you have your cinnamon roll waffles.
You can't forget to go ahead and add some frosting onto the top
and then while they're nice and hot.
I wish everyone out there watching can smell what we smell right now.
There you go.
There's something else here now.
Something new.
From a...
Exclusively on Paramount Plus.
It's the series Stephen King calls
Scarious 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.
Yeah, okay.
This is the one.
Do this hack.
Supposedly a lot of people use their old ketchup bottles to store their pancake batter so they can easily make pancakes at any time
That sounds smart. No way you get this without spilling I'll give you a thousand bucks to do this
Pour the pancake butter into the ketchup bottle
I almost had it perfect I know I smell the flavor of ketchup coming up and out of the bottle
Now you could store this in your fridge to make pancakes anytime you want just like this
That makes it so easy to pour oh that's perfect too and while we have this out we've got to try one of the most viral things on TikTok ever
This mini pancake cereal went super super super super
viral and I haven't yet gotten to taste it but I'm just gonna cover it up with a little milk and then in we go for a bite
I think I'd like it if they were bathing in maple syrup the milk doesn't make any sense while we're on the topic of mini cereal these also went viral which are mini donuts and they're even more satisfying I have a feeling mine's gonna be a little bit better than yours
what the hell oh that's so good oh definitely not healthy no delicious this next hack is jello boba you can make your own boba at home by basically setting jello
into the bottom of a glass.
So I have strawberry jello here with strawberry milk.
So you take the milk and you pour it on top of the jello.
Oh.
And if your jello is set, the milk should rest nicely on top just like this.
And for me, I have orange-flavored jello with some regular milk.
Basically making an orange cremcicecle boba.
Then you take your boba straw and you pretty much just stab the jello
to make jello chunks that are pretty much your boba.
So as you stab it, you can see it get all broken apart.
And you basically just want to continue jabbing the boba straw in and out
until it's all broken out.
I've broken up most of the jello in mine,
so I think my bow is ready.
I'm ready too.
I have a ton of chunks right over there.
No way.
It worked so well.
Wait, that tastes so good.
This is a hack that I'll actually be doing
in my free time now.
Now, apparently, if you use a garlic clove
to draw a shape in a pan,
then crack an egg into that shape,
the egg will stay within the lines of the shape.
There is no way.
I'm going to go ahead and draw a nice square with this garlic.
A square egg would be crazy.
I just don't understand how this one would ever work.
Cracking the egg
Oh no, it like slipped
It didn't work at all
Dude, I actually don't know if I'm just bad at cracking eggs or it just didn't work
We could try again. Let's try again. We really want to believe that this works
Imagine being able to just make a square egg for her. That would be so cool
This time we can really clearly see the square and the pan is a little bit hot
Come on, come on
I'm gonna carefully and gently crack in this egg
No, it's a fail
We all love fruit roll-ups, but if you stick them in the freezer in a nice big
stack it turns them into a totally different treat. This right here is a stack of eight fruit
roll-ups. Make sure your dentist doesn't see this video. Dr. Shane, if you're watching this, I'm sorry.
It turns instantly from this really brittle, crazy sensation to that classic chewy
roll-office. It becomes soft again? Wow. I'm gonna have 150 cavity from them. On the topic of
fruit roll-ups, if you put ice cream in the middle and roll it up, it instantly freezes it and
makes a delicious snack. So we can pretty much call it.
this fruit roll up mochi. I'll believe this one when I see it. All right, so you take your ice
cream. We haven't even tasted it yet and I know this one's gonna be crazy. Oh, it's gonna hit.
Look, it's already frozen. I'm telling you, instantly freezes and then...
What? This one's fire. 10 out of 10. You can make a taco shell out of only cheese.
All you do is sprinkle some cheese in the center of a pan and let it melt down. All the cheese is
crispy but still nice and soft. We'll go ahead and bend it up on the sides and then just hold it in
this shape for a little while to try and let it set like this.
And it only takes a few minutes.
Once our cheese taco shell is set,
I'll add some ground beef to the bottom of the taco.
This is gonna taste absolutely insane.
I can't even believe that it worked,
but we're gonna add some lettuce.
And then just a few radishes for the color.
And that right there is a taco shell
made entirely out of crispy golden brown cheese.
Well, I have to walk away, bro.
It's one of the best things he's ever tasted.
This next one here is a favorite of mine given I'm Persian
as it is very similar to a popular,
fizzy Persian drink that we made.
First, you pour the ice,
and now we pour the ice,
the seven up and the milk together.
Oh, that already looks good.
And it should become extremely foamy and fizzy.
We'll top it off with a little bit of lemon and lime zest
and a nice lemon wedge.
And our drink is ready to taste.
Give it a shot.
That looks like a perfect summertime drink.
It's supposed to be extremely refreshing.
Dude, this is so good.
There's an amazing hack to cut a bell pepper with no waste.
Normally those annoying seeds get in the way,
but this hack supposedly fixes that.
Let's see if it works.
All you're gonna do is cut down
the natural grooves that are in the bottom of your bell pepper.
So to start, you flip it upside down.
Then you simply take a knife and go down the sides.
Basically, the lines and the bell pepper just do all the work for you.
Once you've cut all the way down on the sides, you basically just peel it open like a flour.
Whoa!
Then to finish, you just cut off each of the sections, leaving us with this stump that has all the seeds.
And these perfectly cut bell pepper wedges.
If you haven't heard of ice cream bread, we're about to find out if it actually works.
This is a super easy recipe.
All you're going to need is melted ice cream and self-rising flour.
The fact that it's so simple is the reason I'm not
I'm not sure I believe that this will actually work,
but the viral trend says that you end up
with a nice loaf of this sweet bread.
I feel like we should spice this up a bit
and put sprinkles and chocolate chips.
I mean, if we're gonna make this dessert loaf of bread,
we might as well add some good stuff.
Oh yeah.
Now this will go into a pan and into the oven to bake.
This right here is the loaf that we ended up with
and it actually looks pretty good.
It looks delicious.
I'll do the honors of cutting.
I'm excited to see what it's gonna look like
on the inside.
Here we go, ready?
Moment of truth.
Oh, wow.
This actually looks like a nice loaf that rose really, really,
Dude, this is so good.
It's also really pretty.
Cheers.
With just two ingredients, it's not bad.
But at the same time, I will say,
I feel like this bread would only really impress me
if it was baked by a six year old.
You can turn a corn on the cob into ribs.
Start by peeling your corn on the cob.
Then the slicing part looks to be a bit difficult.
You just have to make sure you go confidently
straight through the center of your corn.
Be careful on your fingers.
You're gonna need to use a sharp knife for this.
Once you've got your halves, cut it one more time.
And just like that, these are our corn ribs
we're then gonna bake.
And these have just baked at 350 and they are now ready.
How are you holding that?
Oh, I don't feel heat.
They curled up even more in the oven and I have to say they actually look really good.
Dude, it looks like a banana.
The only difficult part about this recipe is actually cutting through the corn.
Otherwise, this is some of the best corn I've ever had.
10 out of 10.
I've done a lot of different experiments with Oreos, but apparently you can make Oreo sushi.
All you do is go ahead and take a few Oreos and separate them out into their individual parts.
Once you've separated out a bunch of the filling, you take all the chef,
and blend them into a nice fine powder like this.
You basically want to turn the Oreo shells into a dough.
So you just use a tiny bit of milk as you continue pulsing it up
until it has a nice doughy consistency.
We eventually roll it up into some plastic wrap like this,
and we can cut into it just like this,
eventually revealing our Oreo sushi.
We cut a slice for each of us.
And here we have it, a perfect bite of this Oreo sushi.
I don't know how to use chopsticks, guys.
Ooh.
That's really good.
I think it's time we go out now and check on these Kool-Aid pickles.
We've been shaking these pickles up all day,
in hopes that they'll be done in time.
And from what I can tell, the coolie is definitely
soaked in.
Yeah, they look infused now for sure.
Theoretically, these pickles should be fully colored
with Kool-Aid.
Dude, that looks crazy.
But the reason people do, this isn't for the color.
Supposedly for the flavor.
All right, cheers.
I feel about this.
Don't try these at home.
