No. I listen to horror audiobooks to relax and help me fall asleep. Think about it: is Stuart ever calmly talking about stuff in a gentle even voice? No. Not really, unless he's trying to sell you on a movie based on the dumbest video game urban legend in the universe. So I'd much rather listen to vampires eating people and Elder Gods and Things That Should Not Be, because it really helps in the lucid dream department. I'd rather not induce dreams about crappy loot crate crap and shit.
That Jessica Jones one fascinates me. It has all the right facial features in the details and still manages to look absolutely nothing like Jessica Jones.
have horrible OCD it fucking sucks. always counting under my breath or trying to say a words perfectly, breathing in certain ways, worst of all I have lot of times where i have to throw whats in my hand into the air and catch perfectly, with anything from knives to my phone. Just amazing to see someone acknowledge how bad can be.
I have very similar symptoms too, and its hard for me to leave the house. I have to check all the outlets and stovetops, and i constantly have to touch things five times or i feel terrible. I also like it when people actually reallize its a real problem. I hate people that say "IM SO OCD LOL"
Aaron Jessee I had pretty bad OCD (but never diagnosed) when i was younger but now i'm 35 and i've been cured almost 100% and life is so much easier now. I really know what its like to have OCD but you can beat that hell! I mean, no one can say when you can be cured, it really depends on so many things you have in your life but i can assure you, it is possible to beat it :)
every time I have a pack of coloured pens or pencils I have to keep them in the order they come in, I hate when people borrow them because they never put them back in the correct place so I have to sort them all out again. They are the only things I have to have in the correct place (I am a very messy person besides for that so doubt I have OCD but other people I work with actually do have it and get really annoyed if babies do something to mess up their order of things which clearly isn't the babies faults)
I was making fun of the toxic environment and retarded hatedom for Sonic that exists online, actually. That's the reason I said "we have rules", because such a statement is so obviously false nobody would actually say it
Hi. I have to say a thank you as I'm a big Jessica jones fan and didn't know there was that figure out. So thanks to this video my parents have got me one for my birthday in a few weeks so a big thank you from me.
a lot of early games on tape were crap coz we programed them in our bedrooms and drew the inlay art ourselves, its amazing how many were actually released like that
I'm an ecuadorian and we have a thriving snacks industry, I'm sure Peru is no different in this aspect and this box was filled with Nestle stuff instead of actual local snacks.
Well, only the high quality stuff like Pacari and Republica del Cacao chocolate bars get exported, which is a shame. We have all sorts of salty and sweet snacks that are really good and not over the top like some american counterparts. Look up Bios chocolates, they are local and really good.
he should eat the real doña pepa treat that is actually a turron. i quite liked it. also who can forget the many treats you can get at your local or close by panaderia
the pencils make some sense since Mulder had a habit of chewing them or throwing them at the ceiling to get them to stick into the ceiling tiles. it was a running gag.
there's like a weird ASMR type thing with Ashen eating videos... * food goes off screen * * snap/crunch * * Ashens goes "mm", sometimes twice * * Ashens gives opinion on food * far too enjoyable for what it is
ThePumpkinBoat MC I really hate it when people describe themselves as 'a bit OCD' while I don't have OCD I don't think misconceptions about mental illnesses help anyone.
My Grandma Esmeralda cuts the plantain into chips, smashes each one with a plate, fries them in olive oil, and sprinkles them with garlic and salt. They're delicious that way! Very easy.....you should try them that way.
I don't know if you know this, but Peru doesn't have any people living there. It's just a giant field of chocolate and biscuits as far as the eye can see.
I have exactly zero knowledge of Peruvian snacks, but it's obvious even to me that this "selection" isn't representative of anything. What "Treats" looks like: They're just buying up foreign overstock for pennies on the dollar (this stuff probably would have gone to a garbage dump or a charity, if "Treats" hadn't bought it). What it doesn't look like: Anything involving research, or literally anybody involved actually caring about the purpose of the product.
I'm not Peruvian, and don't speak much Spanish (I don't speak any of the other languages spoken in Peru)...but I would assume that the Cua Cua treat would probably be pronounced less like "koo-ah koo-ah" and more like "kwa kwa" because of the duck on the packaging suggesting it is supposed to be onomatopoeia.
Alex Klingonsmith I didn't know that haha that's rly cool. to be fair tho, my psychology teacher makes OCD jokes and she should definitely know better so I still think he's a good person (((:
This may be a very deep psychological question, but where do these things come from? Like touching everything metal in a bathroom before using the toilet, what would cause someone to feel they had to do that?
Photonic Pizza Sir Terry Pratchett was a literary and comedic genius. My favourite Discworld books are Mort, Guards! Guards!, Moving Pictures, The Hogfather, Thief of Time and Jingo!
i believe the rainbow coloured bits on the cookie are called hundreds and thousands at least round these parts. used to eat fab lollies they were covered in them
Sublime is everywhere and Cua Cua's are common, but I can't say the same about everything else in that package. I haven't even seen any of those Field cookies/biscuits in Peru, except for the Club Soda or ChocoSoda, which wasn't even there.
Don't you hate it when you hear ashens bring something up that you've heard while doing something else, then come back to find the part where he mentioned it and cant find it again?
I've recently moved back to the UK after being abroad for 8 years and went to a B&M Bargains, he really wasn't kidding, they had a whole shelve dedicated to the Deadpool and Batman figures lmaoo
The Vanilla Field looks like those tea biscuits I used to eat when I was a kid. They came in a long plastic wrapper. I haven't seen them in years. I wonder if they are still around.
Jessica Jones, I had zero expectations for it, knew nothing about it, and ended up loving it. Nice length too, what was it, about 13 episodes? And it had ending, not one of those "see you in the next season!". Really liked it, have to recommend it. That statue tough, not so cool...
Plantain is a banana. The bananas you're used to are desert bananas, where as plantain is more a staple food. Hence the reason why you thought it tasted like potato.
Someday, people will look back on the pop culture collectible market of this era and wonder why everything has such a big head. Anyway, I just thought I'd say that I'd rather subscribe to that box of bad games than to any of those actual subscription boxes. The box of games at least looks interesting. Anyone agree?
It's interesting seeing these treat boxes from other countries, more than half of their products are made by American companies yet they don't offer such things here typically.
yay, i now sort of have some interest on subscription boxes because Stuart does not rush a video talking about food with lootcrate, HE ACTUALLY MAKES CORRISPONDENT VIDEOS!
Does anyone else put on Ashens to help them fall asleep sometimes? His voice is just so soothing...
Yeah, I also listen to LGR stuff for that
yesss
I used to do that
"I'm going to go microwave this large dog cock"-Stuart Ashens
No.
I listen to horror audiobooks to relax and help me fall asleep.
Think about it: is Stuart ever calmly talking about stuff in a gentle even voice? No. Not really, unless he's trying to sell you on a movie based on the dumbest video game urban legend in the universe.

Hey Ashens, you know why Donkey Kong always brushes his teeth?
To prevent tooth DK.
Fuck you
Vladimir Putin You again? Holy...Dude...Wow.
get out.
Given your name, that response seems reasonable.
You cannot criticise anyone for a username m8 just look at yours
have horrible OCD it fucking sucks. always counting under my breath or trying to say a words perfectly, breathing in certain ways, worst of all I have lot of times where i have to throw whats in my hand into the air and catch perfectly, with anything from knives to my phone.

damn, that sucks.

That plushie of Doctor Moustache Phil didn't look too terrible.
Not Doctor. Just Moustache Phil, if you please. He isn't accredited in the UK.
If you start calling him Doctor Moustache Phil, the fame goes to his head, so under all circumstances, DO NOT CALL HIM A DOCTOR.
Shut up. Nobody is allowed to think Sonic-related stuff is ok. This is the internet, we have rules
I was making fun of the toxic environment and retarded hatedom for Sonic that exists online, actually. That's the reason I said "we have rules", because such a statement is so obviously false nobody would actually say it
Shaddy You're not an authority, people can like what they want. leave sonic fans alone
Hi. I have to say a thank you as I'm a big Jessica jones fan and didn't know there was that figure out. So thanks to this video my parents have got me one for my birthday in a few weeks so a big thank you from me.
One born every minute
a lot of early games on tape were crap coz we programed them in our bedrooms and drew the inlay art ourselves, its amazing how many were actually released like that
The holes in the Coronitas are to relive pressure as the two halves of biscuit are pressed together as to avoid nuclear explosion
As a peruvian I feel obligated to tell you that this box is not representative of the treats we eat over here. Also, Picaras have no coconut.
it is representative of commercial branded treats
I'm an ecuadorian and we have a thriving snacks industry, I'm sure Peru is no different in this aspect and this box was filled with Nestle stuff instead of actual local snacks.
pino arias can't think of any actually good Ecuadorian treat... do black chocolate bars count? only high quality stuff I know
Well, only the high quality stuff like Pacari and Republica del Cacao chocolate bars get exported, which is a shame. We have all sorts of salty and sweet snacks that are really good and not over the top like some american counterparts.
Look up Bios chocolates, they are local and really good.
he should eat the real doña pepa treat that is actually a turron. i quite liked it.
also who can forget the many treats you can get at your local or close by panaderia
Thanks for saying what you said about OCD. helps a lot, because most people are pricks about it.
the pencils make some sense since Mulder had a habit of chewing them or throwing them at the ceiling to get them to stick into the ceiling tiles. it was a running gag.
there's like a weird ASMR type thing with Ashen eating videos...
* food goes off screen *
* snap/crunch *
* Ashens goes "mm", sometimes twice *
* Ashens gives opinion on food *
far too enjoyable for what it is
He never answers anyone either....Not good.
Sincerely from everybody with OCD, thank you Ashens!!
Amazes me that there is still a market for these subscription services.
It's 3:39 AM...The sway this man has over my life is scandalous
Ahmed Malik It's 11:55 here in Ireland and it's the same time in England too. Why he uploads at this hour I will never know
D.K Studios I agree.
he mentioned once he likes uploading at random intervals so its a "nice surprise"...I'm not sure stuart has a very firm grasp over what nice means
It's 3:39am 4 years later
thanks for the shoutout about OCD misconceptions/jokes, treating mental illness like a cute 'quirk' really grates on me
To be fair that's what everyone does now with depression
Thank you for telling people not trivialise OCD and mental health in general.
I appreciate your comment on OCD. Had it since I was 5 or so.
ThePumpkinBoat MC I really hate it when people describe themselves as 'a bit OCD' while I don't have OCD I don't think misconceptions about mental illnesses help anyone.
Yes, because you were diagnosed.
You idiot. Having depression and being depressed are completely different.
+Jasmine Nice thank you
Jasmine Nice yeah OCD is an extremely damaging and serious mental illness it can even lead to suicide
I miss the 80s and 90s boxes with the action figure and video game cartridges in them.
"Why bother? Why bother?" my whole line of thought when it comes to these "crate" thingies.
*Get a load of THIS!*
Hi crispy toast
So many plain biscuits from Peru. No wonder Paddington needed to carry around so much Marmalade...
My Grandma Esmeralda cuts the plantain into chips, smashes each one with a plate, fries them in olive oil, and sprinkles them with garlic and salt. They're delicious that way! Very easy.....you should try them that way.
You are my favorite channel. I have crippling anxiety and you hep calm the PTSD
Octarine is the colour of magic
From what I recall, Mulder didn't line up those pencils because of OCD, but because he wanted to flick them all into the styrofoam ceiling tiles.
I don't know if you know this, but Peru doesn't have any people living there. It's just a giant field of chocolate and biscuits as far as the eye can see.
I have exactly zero knowledge of Peruvian snacks, but it's obvious even to me that this "selection" isn't representative of anything.
What "Treats" looks like: They're just buying up foreign overstock for pennies on the dollar (this stuff probably would have gone to a garbage dump or a charity, if "Treats" hadn't bought it).

Jonathan Williamson As a Peruvian I can sadly confirm
You can find this sort of stuff at the Dollar Tree, or Big Lots stores near where I am.
Lootcrate just gets sadder and sadder.
Stuart, the slot on the Lüt crate box is made to slide out from it the folding handle integrated to the same side of the box.
I'm not Peruvian, and don't speak much Spanish (I don't speak any of the other languages spoken in Peru)...but I would assume that the Cua Cua treat would probably be pronounced less like "koo-ah koo-ah" and more like "kwa kwa" because of the duck on the packaging suggesting it is supposed to be onomatopoeia.
HaydenX you're actually right. It's the onomatopoia
I want Ashens to narrate my life
The sublime bar did not change phase directly to a gas, consider me disappointed.
I could listen to Ashen's spanish all day.
That's one sneaky Discworld reference you got there.
Ashens uploaded. I clapped. 20 mins less sleep this night.
The Kong cover is beautyful! I like the font handmade with colored pencils and a ruler.
the OCD comments made me so happy as someone who has OCD ((((:
Stuart has a doctorate in psychology (or was it psychiatry?), so he would definitely know what OCD really is
Alex Klingonsmith I didn't know that haha that's rly cool. to be fair tho, my psychology teacher makes OCD jokes and she should definitely know better so I still think he's a good person (((:
So what is OCD if not liking things in a certain order? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm genuinely curious.
Alex Everett-last many forms. Like touching everything metal in a bathroom before you can use the toilet
This may be a very deep psychological question, but where do these things come from? Like touching everything metal in a bathroom before using the toilet, what would cause someone to feel they had to do that?
I want to see more of you eating snacks from around the world
Everyone's favorite Peruvian snack, Fujimori Bars! You can taste the embezzlement!
*SOY INOCENTE!*
DI-SOL-VER, also , the humala spinoff snacks
Unemployed, depressed and available to watch ashens in the middle of the day.
checking in 2 years later, you doing alright now my dude?
i get so excited when i see a new ashens video. YAY
Ah, octarine, I see you're a man of culture yourself.
TheQuentinSK8 I read through the comments just to 👍... well, and to post it myself if I did take find it. #GNUTerryPratchett
Fantastic
Reading Discworld, already at book 5. Love it so much, Pratchett was amazing.
Photonic Pizza Sir Terry Pratchett was a literary and comedic genius. My favourite Discworld books are Mort, Guards! Guards!, Moving Pictures, The Hogfather, Thief of Time and Jingo!
>1:45AM
>Ashens has uploaded new video.
Thanks dad.
"I wonder if there's a lot of sugar in those", he asked, holding the package with the detailed contents in full view.
i believe the rainbow coloured bits on the cookie are called hundreds and thousands at least round these parts. used to eat fab lollies they were covered in them
I'm trying to sleep Ashens. *Damn You!*
Hazerion same
First Eurovision and now this! DAMN YOU TO HELL ASHENS
Everyone fuck off with posting this same comment on every fucking Ashens video.
You're not special, you just live in Europe.
sock2828 ashens is from England you American fuckkkkk
(jk)
*America
Nice little Discworld reference Ashens!
Today is Peru's independence day.
I have a box of Doña Pepa around. I laughed hard watching this while eating one.
WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN
Ashens, Book 3. Really Old Games That Were So Unknown, They Didn't Make It Into The First Two Books.
i didnt know Peru, Massachusetts had such a diverse culinary range
The shop I work at sells a ton of those plantain chips. Great snack!
Hoot Bait.
A monthly owl hunters collectors pack direct to your door.
I love how I watch this and the very next video in the "Up next" section is the fucking inflatable fucking crown episode from 2 years ago this month.
It still throws me every time he calls a cookie a "biscuit"
It throws me every time Americans call a biscuit a "cookie"
Sublime is everywhere and Cua Cua's are common, but I can't say the same about everything else in that package. I haven't even seen any of those Field cookies/biscuits in Peru, except for the Club Soda or ChocoSoda, which wasn't even there.
I must say, I enjoy these videos immensely!
The art on old game cases are just fantastic (with some exceptions).
Don't you hate it when you hear ashens bring something up that you've heard while doing something else, then come back to find the part where he mentioned it and cant find it again?
12:05 - coupled with the image of a duck, it seems likely that the intended pronunciation is "kwah kwah" (as in "quack"), not kewa kewa.
I agree with you ashens, those Morochas cookies are really good! I had them at a friends house - very tasty!
I've recently moved back to the UK after being abroad for 8 years and went to a B&M Bargains, he really wasn't kidding, they had a whole shelve dedicated to the Deadpool and Batman figures lmaoo
That Stranger Things T-shirt is referencing that X-Men issue when Professor X betrays the X-Men
This video was a roller coaster of laughs, I enjoy the style of your channe and kind of jokes, also for the illustrative unboxings. Thanks!
The artwork on the shirt reminds me of an X-men cover for the hellfire club when jean grey was turning into dark Phoenix.about the same era.
I love how on the pencil sharpener it says *MADE IN CHINA*
that files thing is awesome. and a good pencil sharpener is hard to find and keep around!
And you sir are why I am always sleep deprived, ah well... anything for Ashens
I watch your videos when I can't sleep
The Vanilla Field looks like those tea biscuits I used to eat when I was a kid. They came in a long plastic wrapper. I haven't seen them in years. I wonder if they are still around.
those Lil sound recorders are awesome also.
Bloody hell, please still do these.
you should put up a quick wee video of you putting boiling water into your horrifying other mug so we can see how bad it looks now lol
Jessica Jones, I had zero expectations for it, knew nothing about it, and ended up loving it.
Nice length too, what was it, about 13 episodes? And it had ending, not one of those "see you in the next season!".
Really liked it, have to recommend it.
That statue tough, not so cool...
Plantain is a banana. The bananas you're used to are desert bananas, where as plantain is more a staple food. Hence the reason why you thought it tasted like potato.
12:05 "cua cua" is the onomatopoeia for the sounds ducks make, in Spanish.
Reference to Octarine. Terry Pratchett, good on you Stuart. This is why I love your videos.
They are selling those "lootcrate exclusive" Q Figures in homebargins for £3.99 I brought a deadpool one
Someday, people will look back on the pop culture collectible market of this era and wonder why everything has such a big head.
Anyway, I just thought I'd say that I'd rather subscribe to that box of bad games than to any of those actual subscription boxes. The box of games at least looks interesting. Anyone agree?
welcome to ashens, where i spend 1/5th of the cideo eating sweets
*Looks at the badge that has the theme written directly in front of his eyes* "I think the theme is investigate..."
Stuart...
Get your eyes checked...
Loot crates are like physical paid-for shovelware.
Fun Fact: Plantains (Platanos) are very similar to Bananas visually, but the taste is completely different
I feel like those X-Files pencils would be best displayed Mulder style and stuck in your ceiling.
The shirt is a reference to an old X-Men cover where prof. X is forcing the X-Men to fight
Nice Discworld reference.
I'm late and I don't give a shit, I just love a good video from my favorite opener of crates that contain loot.
Being a fat kid, the food boxes are always my favorite.
Fantastic stuff,Ashens.Mind you youve probably seen most of that stuff in Poundland.
I love Blue Ribband, it's my favourite
Creatures 2, an awesome game none of my friends have heard of. I'd argue it has the best music in any game I've ever played.
10:33 made me think of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin
It's interesting seeing these treat boxes from other countries, more than half of their products are made by American companies yet they don't offer such things here typically.
Screw the Japanese, he'll always be Dr. Robotnik in my heart.
I thought Robotnik was Eggmans uncle?
Driad uhm... no
Taffer his name is Robotnik, Sonic calls him Eggman.... that was established in Sonic Adventure ;)
Driad you've got it confused. Gerald Robotnik is Eggman's grandfather, Eggman's real name is Ivo Robotnik.
It's taken me 15 years to realise they're the same character and it wasn't just my weird warped memories of childhood
I thought, "Who the heck is Dr Eggman?! That's Dr Robotnik!" *googled it*
ALL THESE YEARS I NEVER KNEW
Charmaine Eng that guy is mustache phil. no idea who you are on about.
yay, i now sort of have some interest on subscription boxes because Stuart does not rush a video talking about food with lootcrate, HE ACTUALLY MAKES CORRISPONDENT VIDEOS!
This is my English learning Channel!!!
Holy shit! I found one of those X-files pencils on a desk at school. It was super ominous...
I'm hyped for Flickering Skeletons.
egg
Last time i was this early to an ashens video i had an original joke.
