(16:23):
Oh oh, these are chocolate.These are like strawberry yogurt covered raisins and
their yogurt covered strawberries. They're likelittle dried strawberries and that they're definitely not
I'll fucking I'll freak out if theyare, though probably like say, nothing's
probably like artificial or nothing. It'sJapan, so that's cool. I don't
know how Japan works in every othercountry. Maybe not. I don't like

(16:52):

classic description to this. No,yeah, I don't like you guys know
those little tall bottles of baby foodcereal and they were always in shapes of
stars. Take that baby food cerealand cover it in like strawberry chocolate or

(17:14):
just white chocolate or whatever. Thisis. It's kind of what you got
that was not good. The clubsoda sucks even more so not good well,
I guess we're just left with this. I'm taking a five out of
turn for that. I will givethat a two, honestly, fuck that,
give that a one. Yeah,whatever this is supposed to be.

(17:41):
This is like string. Wait no, this is dead ass like ramen.
They have like Ramen packets on theoutside of it. Is it just crouched
up ramen? I think so?Yeah, No way, it's just crunched
up ramen. I'm gonna need likea handful of that to a seton.
But it tastes like, I'm sorry, eating like fucking cavemn over your ear.

(18:19):
Not a fan that. They's likeburnt. He's like chicken flavored sticks.
I don't like that at all.Oh, I'll give it a two
out of ten. Give that afucking zero. Really, yeah, that's
horrible. Holy shit, it's notthat bad. No, that's dude.
Do you not see my face?That was like, Oh, that wasn't

(18:42):
terrible. No, that wasn't good. It's the first one in the Clipsloda
couldn't get out though. Oh no, it's stuck in there, dude.
Now at the end the grand finaletrunk, so we have this powder that
was inside of this packet here,and it says to just pour a little
shot of water in there. Sothat's what we're gonna do, and let's

(19:03):
go ahead and give it a littlelittle dash the cash. I think we
could have used more water. Idon't know, know it is a small
shot. It makes them up prettywell. Here. It was like a
milkshake. Does look like a milkshake, all right, it's nice and foamed
up. What does it smell like? Does it smell like beer? This
smells like pineapples? Ship, thatdoes smell like pineapples. That's insane,

(19:40):
dude, that's ten out of ten. That's ten out of ten. We
probably could have used more, butthat it does look like beer there,
so it gives it like a headman. I really wish we didn't waste
out in such a small little cup. That is so good. Get the
rest of that, boss, Ilove you, thank you. It doesn't

(20:02):
taste like beer. It tastes almostlike a pineapple foam. And the foam's
so good too. Let's think apineapple a pineapple topical foam situation. Fuck
everything else. That's like a fifteenout of ten. I'll give that like
a ten out of ten. That'sso fucking I could have enjoyed a very
if If this is all it takesto make an entire glass, possibly that

(20:22):
would have been fantastic. I wishthat's what we did. We did originally
yeah, but then Jaden said weshouldn't, so this motherfucker Google Google translated
