Ashens videos are so fun because it could be from yesterday or 9 years ago and it will always be the same. Been watching for years and have never been disappointed lol.
Those books sell for almost 80 bucks now...and I see the real ones at thrift shops for 50 cents. Who'd of known, Ashens would make a BETTER more VALUED version of something?
What I loved the best about this? The gelli baff and spa gel? Same exact stuff put in to diapers and menstrual pads to catch liquid. No spa benefits at all.
If you could somehow locate the source text document, you could Ctrl + F for "Shades of grey." and subtract the number of results from 50,000. I'm sure it was just copied and pasted stemming from the very first sentence though.

The gummy things you showed after the Calorie Mate stuff is called Mochi. It's a thick rice paste, sometimes with a savory (though in this case, fruity) jam-like stuff inside it. They are a bit flavourless on the outside, but they're REALLY good if you like the fruit involved. Also, the green pack is melon flavour.

Weird to think you wouldn't eat that japanese jelly confectionary because it was a few days old and then years later your eating food that a decade out of date. Weird how times change and all.
ANCUTTER Yeah it just a little ...ironic...no no that never the term but just kind of funny that he just says I not going to eat this because it off a few days and I could get sick and then years later takes a bit out of things literately decades old that probally could actually have things that could kill him.
NineTailedLiligant it's probably more a case of opened vs unopened food. Food tends to last a while in its original packaging whereas if you get it out and leave it for a short period it can mould up pretty sharpish, that's my guess anyway.
Eh, I personally found page 129 to be the height of the emotional development of the characters. It led into the climax yet described each character so perfectly and naturally beforehand, you never would've guessed. The climax itself gets too much attention I feel. I believe the little moments that further the development of the story as a whole are the most important.
well its kinda tasty... not the best but... compared to eat snakes and those rations that snake states as really nasty i would choose calorie mate or instant noodles :D
I was given a Calorie Mate at a convention once while I was cosplaying Big Boss. Got it from another Big Boss cosplayer. We shared a package. Thankfully it was the browner variety. He was basically right. It was kinda tasteless, with a bit of coco hints... not in a particularly amazing way
That expanding jelly sand (Sodium polyacrylate) is also used in soil to keep your plants watered while you're away. Just as in your video, it will soak up many times its own size in water, so if you have it mixed in with your potting soil, it will maintain a constantly moist soil until it dries, and also prevents overwatering.
Re: Gelli Baff - there is actually a third version.. basically sex-Gelli Baff. I was at.. well, what amounted to a sex convention recently and overhead the sales-bloke saying "er, yeah, we had to rebrand it from the original". They had a tub of it set up. Stone-cold. It was deeply unpleasant.
Guilherme Ferreira Not much. It was actually kind of boring. It was the London Alternative Market, so it was all stalls with ball gags and nipple clamps for sale and such, but not much else going on. I had a drink at the bar and went home fairly quickly.
I always saw gelli baff adverts and always wanted to get it, but my parents wouldn't get it because they thought it'd block the drain, I'm kind of tempted to get it now.
Why is 'Fifty Thousand Shades of Grey' not available absolutely anywhere for a reasonable price? I would love to get my hands on a copy or two without spending a thousand dollars on Amazon
That bathroom at 12:13 looks disgusting. I don't mean the booger-gel. I mean the wall, pipe, and tile. I'd be afraid to get into a tub in a bathroom that dirty!
Welcome to the high standard of rental accommodation here in the uk. Probably had to pay a fortune for that bespoke rusty pipework and carefully manicured tile grime...
The two pack of "Alien Power" figures are molds ripping off Kamen Rider Double, the one on the left has the exact same colors as his Cyclone/Joker form and you can even see the Double Driver painted on his waist....
Dr.Octogon Ashens said he had naked pics of him in a fake URL, and the dumbass Kind Of An Odd Name asked if he is the only one to go see the pictures -_-
That sounds like a really great prank actually. Somebody somewhere do this and video tape it please. Especially the part where the neighbor realizes what's become of the pool and either knows he's been pranked or becomes massively confused .
Two brilliant marketing design objectives, make technology wear-able and make food on-the-go and fast for the busy hikers that are our audience. Both deserve nobel prizes.
The blue stuff looks like diaper filler, the same gel used in those absorbent pads sometimes found under prepackaged raw meat in the supermarket. They've just taken 2 pence worth, dyed it blue, and tossed it in a box.
I've seen this before, but never thought to add this: 6:00 A muskmelon, it's similar to cantaloupe and honeydew... if memory serves, cantaloupe and honeydew are varieties of muskmelon.
I ate calorie mate back in japan when I got sick because I didn't have any apetetite at all and there was noone to provide any food for me, so this was amazing. Didn't really taste like anything but gets the job done. The one I had didn't smell like anything.
Around the 15:00 mark, I remembered a figure I had gotten from Japan that looked like the figure in the left. It was something like Street Rider or something, and it was a hollow rubber thing that had no articulation whatsoever, and it came with a hardback book that was entirely in Japanese, and I have no idea what they were from or if they were a real thing at all. And the fact that I couldn't read Japanese made figuring it out so much more complicated. But it had the exact same color scheme, and it had a similar belt. It had red eyes, too, and it had little spikes on its head. If you have any idea what I'm talking about, please let me know.
Youre talking about Kamen Rider, :p to be more precise thats Kamen Rider Double from the series called "Kamen Rider W" :D the halfgreen/halfblack is his standard Rider form but other combinations of colours are possible through the use of Gaia Memories, USB-stick shaped thingys that are inserted in the belt :D the ones in this video are unofficial rip-off toys tho
Lukas Vindevogel Yep, that's what it reminded me of. I lost the figure a long time ago, and since I don't live in Japan, I really have no way of getting them, and I haven't seen the exchange student who brought them in a few years either. I've never seen the series, so thanks for clarifying.
I highly recommend watching the series, especially if you like/liked Power Rangers! Theres like 17-ish Kamen Rider series though so watch the one that looks most interesting I guess :D
I don't know if anyone caught this, but in that double pack of "Alien Spider's" the one on the left actually bears a striking resemblance to Kamen Rider W; look it up!
Incase anyone was wondering at 12:35, the domain was unfortunately shut down but if you actually Googled it back in the day it would take you to a blank web page that just said "don't be ridiculous"
Those are Mochi. You review a different brand/quality of them in the next video with the century egg. I found that amusing as I binge watch your show that literally back to back you get the same food and in the newer video you didn't recognize them. Mochi can be hit or miss depending on the filling and personal tastes. I love the green tea ones. I know you hate tea so pfffft.
Did anyone see the one action figure at 15:04 that was multied colored please tell me im not the only one who saw the cyclone joker combo from kamen rider w.
It's funny how memories work. I remembered the foul taste of calorie mate, and then remembered your magnum opus. I totally forgot that the two were reviewed in the same video. 😂
18:50 OMG! They're still pumping these out?! My (now 16 yo) son had those when he was a toddler. Gawd I miss the day when buying from the Family Dollar was good enuf to make him happy 😉
It's weird that he said that in a sarcastic manner but then actually did do it. Please don't do that Ashen. It's hard enough to guess sarcasm and sincerity in text.
Holy shit I haven't seen Gelli Baff in years, I remember it being advertised on the TV (usually on a channel like Boomerang or Nickelodeon) or some shit.
Those CalorieMate blocks may not actually taste all that good, but they sure as hell look tasty! Is it bad if this video never fails to give me cravings of biscuits?
@14:59 that KO action figure with the Green/Black paintjob is a KO of Kamen Rider W cyclone joker right down to the poorly painted double driver on the waist.
Ahh yes, MGS3: Snake Eater. What a thrill that game was. You could use a CalorieMate block to restore health, quite a lot actually. More than you'd get from foraging in the wilderness.
Hory shet. I was wondering why seeing that box and name made me think of that game. I havent played it since i was a fledgling, so i didnt remember it was named the same. °^°
All 3 of his books are still avalable on Amazon (fifty thousand shades of gray, attack of the flickering skeletons, and a third i can't be bothered to check.)
The japanese snack thing is mochi, and the green is melon, mochi is sweet rice that has been smashed until it becomes a sticky goo, then govered in either some corn starch or in icing sugar. usualy filled with sweet stuff, its really popular in Japan and Taiwan, and is now starting to be imported to america especially. There are all kinds of varaities, in taiwan street vendors often sell it covered in crushed peanuts which I liked a whole lot when i was there.

The little doughy sweets he eats are called mochi. Very popular in Japan.
+Cai Jephcott That's mochi? I figured it would be something crunchy. The word sounds crunchy at least...

Fifty shades of grey movie is out, ashens needs to make a film of him saying the phrase shades of grey on a loop fifty thousand times.
Omg!!!!
Katie Grace right?!?!?!?! that would be, hilarious 😂 and totally not fucking stupid
I'd buy it on BluRay.
It's not even a loop. It's literally him actually saying shades of grey 50000 times.
Vsauce-tier joke.
Page 117 of your book Was, exceptional to say the least. It gripped me. I couldn't put it down!!

At least Snake likes Calorie Mate.
+cutterchaz He didn't exactly have the best options at the time. The End's parrot always looked tastiest to me
Instant Noodles was another one of his favorites.
+M070RG0A7 He does state his favourite flavour is chocolate Calorie Mate.
well its kinda tasty... not the best but... compared to eat snakes and those rations that snake states as really nasty
i would choose calorie mate or instant noodles :D
If you spent several days in a jungle eating various animals you'd probably end up liking the taste of Calorie Mate too.

CYCLONE CHEAPSKATE
Tommy Wiseau Tommy Wiseau is my favorite kamen rider :3
I'm American and of all of my years of living, I've always spelled "grey"
I-is that not how we're supposed to...?
Turtleborn Ben Apparently...
Grey for 'E'ngland
Gray for 'A'merica
Daniel Grianger Oh shit.
I tend to use both depending on which sounds better to me in the given context.
It's funny how memories work.
I remembered the foul taste of calorie mate, and then remembered your magnum opus.
I totally forgot that the two were reviewed in the same video. 😂
6:03 It's MELON flavor, didn't you ever play yoshi story?
Fifty-Thousands Shades of Grey, still a better use of paper than the real one.
Still waiting for that international release-
18:50
OMG! They're still pumping these out?!
My (now 16 yo) son had those when he was a toddler.
Gawd I miss the day when buying from the Family Dollar was good enuf to make him happy 😉
16:24 I had these as a kid. My brother and I destroyed them in various ways.
I actually brought "Fifty-Thousand Shades of Grey" from Amazon for just under £6.00 (Free postage!)...
Oh Hey! Ashens! I remember that bath shit and chocolate anywhere! XD
It's weird that he said that in a sarcastic manner but then actually did do it.
Please don't do that Ashen. It's hard enough to guess sarcasm and sincerity in text.
I also own a copy, and everyone I know thinks I was stupid for buying it. Ah well. Came to about $9
00:59 That would be a great prank
I bought 10 boxes of this jelly baff stuff once to fill a pool with it. It was pretty fun. Draining it was a nightmare though.
Holy shit I haven't seen Gelli Baff in years, I remember it being advertised on the TV (usually on a channel like Boomerang or Nickelodeon) or some shit.
wait, caloriemate is a real thing!?!? I thought they just made it up for mgs!
hey isn't calorie mate some thing that snake eats in metal gear solid
i knew it
The food at the beginning just proves that first is the worst, and second is the best
Surely I’m not the only one to think of MGS 3 when I saw that Calorie mate.
I remember the gelli baff adverts from years and years ago xD
the puffy candy stuff is Mochi it is fruits and treats inside rice balls. famous in asia
I am rewatching all of this 3 years later
Anyone else only remember Cal. Mate from MGS: 3?
me too lol
Yes
I didn't know it was real, or at least not actually exist as seen in mgs.
I WANT SOME MORE
holy heck thats what its from
Those CalorieMate blocks may not actually taste all that good, but they sure as hell look tasty! Is it bad if this video never fails to give me cravings of biscuits?
Hahahahaha “You butter fingered spider-fake!!” That made my day, great video 👍👍
@14:59 that KO action figure with the Green/Black paintjob is a KO of Kamen Rider W cyclone joker right down to the poorly painted double driver on the waist.
B-but big boss said calorie mates were amazinng
CalorieMate? I recognize this from Metal Gear I think?
Yup, Your right
Ahh yes, MGS3: Snake Eater. What a thrill that game was.
You could use a CalorieMate block to restore health, quite a lot actually. More than you'd get from foraging in the wilderness.
Hory shet. I was wondering why seeing that box and name made me think of that game. I havent played it since i was a fledgling, so i didnt remember it was named the same. °^°
@@thedawkturr4481
Funny that u wrote What a thrill.
Was this Joke planned?
Since "what a thrill" is being sang in Snake eater ... if I am right.
Metal Gear did not invent CalorieMate
That link doesn't work. Humph
used to
GARN WIV'YER!
It used to say “Don’t be ridiculous.“
7:09 AAGGHH tell Doris I love her 🤣🤣🤣
One of the alien spiders is just a Kamen rider W rip-off. They even have a suggested driver
Did anyone look in the description to find out where to buy the book?
www.amazon.co.uk/Fifty-Thousand-Shades-Of-Grey-Parody/dp/1479215430
its real and a new copy is super cheep (:
why would you buy it? xD
DeeannFaseymsp xx its such a good read all the emotion
xD
Foxy luver xx I bought a copy
The funny thing is if he did it today and was maybe 20 years younger, that XXX Ashens thing probably wouldn't be a joke.
All 3 of his books are still avalable on Amazon (fifty thousand shades of gray, attack of the flickering skeletons, and a third i can't be bothered to check.)
14:57
Oh my God, they made a bootleg Kamen Rider Double.
14:58 Holy fuck, why would they color that stupid figure after Kamen Rider W? It's not even a property anywhere outside of Japan O_o
I thought you were kidding about the W recolor ... oh my god
Who is the woman at 20:49? I need to know... For scientific reasons...
The japanese snack thing is mochi, and the green is melon, mochi is sweet rice that has been smashed until it becomes a sticky goo, then govered in either some corn starch or in icing sugar. usualy filled with sweet stuff, its really popular in Japan and Taiwan, and is now starting to be imported to america especially. There are all kinds of varaities, in taiwan street vendors often sell it covered in crushed peanuts which I liked a whole lot when i was there.
