Gatorwine episode is next I swear
Every gaterade flavor with every wine under $12
SIR
Will it be all of the gatorade flavors with the same wine, different wines with the same gatorade, or some combination of the two? What are the logistics of gatorwine? Will it be cheap wine, expensive wine, a little bit of both perhaps? Furthermore, will there be so much wine drinking that the level of inebriation is going to have an effect on the ranking of different gatorwines further down the line? There are many questions to be asked, many variables to be accounted for.
I think this was the first tasting episode that I genuinely wanted to take part in.
What’s the over/under on Charles Shaw paired with Glacier Freeze?
Fun fact, Canola oil, also known as rapeseed oil, comes from a plant in the mustard family. That's why the cookie package says "mustard free".
Now what about that shellfish
@@kogumasmommy No idea
@@TocsTheWanderersimple. People with shellfish allergies are usually also allergic to cockroaches.
Why would they call it rapeseed
@@goblin5494 It comes from the Latin word for turnip, which is "rapa". Turnips are also in the mustard family.
The Council is not pleased that this is not the promised Gatorwine video, Andrew. Do not make us take further action.
There will be dire consequences if he is unable to follow up on his promise of the Gatorwine ranking.
We will rise up. We will fight. We will win.
Maybe this was filmed a month ago and we'll get Gatorwine in a couple weeks
I need more Gatorwine songs.
I also need the entirety of Fenway Park singing "Sweet Gatorwine"
Also, I put forth a motion to lobby for a chocolate bar ranking next.
As a Canadian it always makes me very happy to see the Canadian brands in these videos, especially when they do better than average.
Seeing the Decadent made me nostalgic for my youth in the North.
I just returned from visiting my sister in Toronto. I ate Coffee Crisp and Ruffles All-Dressed for a week and damaged my kidneys with decidedly unholy quantities of Tim Horton's. I can occasionally find these things down here, but only very rarely. Nonetheless I should recover in time for my next visit so that I may abuse myself once again. To attempt the lingo of the younger generation in the US: "The snack game is on point."
@@rtyrssonlol
Meanwhile, I am so happy I have American options and can ignore PC to buy Tate's instead
The story about chocolate chip cookies is actually false! The woman who made them was a skilled baker and she more than likely was experimenting on purpose. Tasting History with Max Miller has a very interesting look into the past of the chocolate chip cookie
Came here to say the same thing lol
Shout out to tasting history!
I was really hoping somebody would point this out! Justice for Ruth Wakefield, her legacy was not an accident 🤍
Research matters, and Max Miller does his. Ruth Wakefield ❤
Max is awesome! Great channel!
Ruth Wakefield didn't make chocolate chip cookies by accident. she was a smart cookie that made a bunch of cookie recipes. Its a shame thats the story that survived history
I kid you not, 10 minutes into the video I stopped, went out of my apartment, walked to the nearest grocery store and bought some cookies to watch it with
This reminds me of how grocery stores noticed an increase in sales in the UK when British bake off is on, but not in flour and sugar, just premade cakes. Consider us influenced.
Plain potato chip rankings did this to me, would never buy plain otherwise
Which brand did you choose tho
Meanwhile, 10 minutes and I stopped watching because of all the pointless, uninteresting babbling going on.
@@cabk.4538
Well I actually live in Israel so we have different brands over here. I took something called "Soft Muffin Chewy Cookies" that have milk, dark and white chocolate chips in it. This is from the amazing dutch brand "Merba".
Since he mentioned camping, he should do an MRE ranking episode. I also want to see a honey episode (and it must include Tupelo).
I think those wouldn't be possible, because MRE-s make you very constipated.
A collab with Steve1989?
@@sawtoothchris24 mmm. nice hiss.
Yesssssssssssss
@@todorovicl800 I think that’s only the military ones. What you get at REI/Bass Pro/etc. shouldn’t have anything to make you constipated.
The description 'shellfish free' on a chocolate chip cookie has terrifying implications......
If it makes anyone feel better it normally means there's been no contact with anything that's been in contact at all with shellfish! Or no ingredients derived from anything derived from shellfish, I work with a lot of kids with super particular allergies and in severe cases even the slightest cross contamination at a factory can be a big deal! 15 or so years ago my grandma had an allergic reaction to an orange juice because it had been processed with a preservative derived from peanut oil!
I believe that's just for allergy purposes.
Major factories will process multiple products, so there is chance for airborne cross-contamination. So for severe, severe shellfish allergies it could be an issue.
@@rileynorris1283 It's just odd to state an ingredient that shouldn't be in any cookie, isn't in the cookie. It has unsettling implications.
@@SarcasticData Not if you use your brain
@@SarcasticDatanot really
I’m surprised that Grandma’s cookies weren’t a part of this
At Andrew's age, chances are his grannies aren't around anymore to bake him some (I'm his age, no grandparents left)
@@AccAkut1987I think they meant the brand Grandma’s cookies… found in gas stations
PSA the “white stuff growing out of the chocolate” is referred to as “chocolate bloom” it’s perfectly safe just that the chocolate was improperly tempered and the milk sugars are migrating causing the color seen. No impact on flavor or quality just less appealing to the eye.
Loved watching yalls panic over seeing it tho 😂😂😂
It most definitely has a big impact on quality, flavor, and texture, way worse than normal chocolate
That didn't look like bloom though, that had formed a weird flattened white layer instead of the the chocolate whitening in place like you'd see normally. And agree with other comment that bloomed chocolate absolutely tastes and feels different/worse on the tongue
That was most definitely not chocolate bloom (which I'm sure Andrew is familiar with.) Chocolate bloom isn't 3-dimensional; it wouldn't have been layered on top of the chocolate like that. That almost looked like the cookies got wet and some sugar crystalized or something... really odd, and I sure wouldn't have eaten them!
The cookies were probably heated. Maybe sat in the sun in the car when they were purchased.
I duno if it was bloom but I don't think it was mold either, looked like an ingreadient had seeped out of the chocolate, maybe the milk fats? IDK
Zach's "I like trying" comment really flew under the radar lol
My son and I love watching these ranking videos together. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to bond with my 14-year-old. As a single mom, it means an awful lot. ♥️
That’s so nice to hear! My absolute pleasure, and sorry for swearing.
@@babishculinaryuniverse No way, that's part of the fun. 😉
Seeing PC Decadent come out on top really warms my frozen Canadian heart 🍁
Decadent cookies are fire
They're the GOAT! At least when it comes to manufactured cookies.
I'm honestly surprised because I consider PC Decadent cookies to be nearly inedible.
@@Ebonarc nostalgia is as much of a flavor enhancer as salt is 💖
As a Canadian I grew up with those President's Choice cookies - very happy to see them here (and that Babby liked them!)
🎶 It's not the best choice, it's Presidents choice!🎵
But are they the choice of the Prime Minister?
What about dads cookies? the chocolate ring ones
I wish Dads still made their chocolate shortbread cookies.
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hot chocolate would make for in an interesting ranked video given the winter months ahead
Swiss miss forever
@@CeceW-oo8yd we'll see
Oh I like this idea.
Gatorwine to wash it all down?
I was thinking the same.
He was a gatorwine, she said see you later wine.
YOU COULD’VE FOOLED ME 🔥💯🗣️
No....milk. Enough with the gatorwine
YES!! Gatorwine FTW!
I actually AM allergic to mustard (specifically the branch of brassicaceae that includes horseradish, mustard, and wasabi). I'm so glad to know that my cookies are mustard free! :D
We NEED a beef jerky tier list!
Dental floss tier list double feature
Beef Jerky costs a fortune these days, he’d do that tier list with one arm, one leg, and half a kidney.
Some random guy selling jerky at a local fair who says garlic jerky is his best seller is a 10/10. Everyone knows this.
Old Trapper is the best store bought and Jack Links is vinyl siding
Savage jerky needs to be in it
That white stuff is called bloom, and it is totally safe to eat. It is just the coca fats separating from suspension in the chocolate and 'blooming' out of the chocolate it happens naturally over time at room temperature. Other than making the chocolate taste a little 'flat' and looking bad it is fine. If the white is on the cookie part and not the chocolate then it would have been mold; but that was only on the chocolate, so bloom.
"[Hershey's] only works in the context of a s'more - nowhere else!"
YES! THIS!! I've had this exact thought several times this summer. The *only* reason why there is a package of Hershey bars in my kitchen is for making s'mores.
You should still use a better chocolate. Even their own Symphony bars. Hershey's is garbage!
His pronunciation of s’more was wild, it was like “suh more” which I’ve never heard before
Try dropping a 1/4-1/2 oz piece into your coffee cup just before you pour the hot brew in. Wait a half a minute, stir.
IN a world in which so much chocolate from chocolatiers all over the world available there is no excuse to ever eat Hershey's... unless that Palmer's Halloween or Christmas garbage "chocolate" is the only option remaining. Considering its half wax, just light a chocolate scented candle and eat your crayons.
You should rank microwave popcorn, even though the smell will probably linger in the kitchen for a month. Just don’t burn it.
Microwave popcorn is garbage. The bags have BPA in them too. Don't buy it!
Maybe time to rank every olive. Not oil... olive.
But also not EVOO, or VOO, just regular Olive Oil.
They'd go great with some wine... GATORWINE!
He only compares things that are the same so far. So it’d be like 30 brands of black olive, not kalamata vs castelvetrano or whatever
@@rileystewart3170 his pasta one was all kinds of pasta
Yes like nicoise olive too! It’s a very distinct olive
"I deprive myself of joy"
we already know you're a vegan, no need to be redundant.
I usually dislike cooking channels doing ranking vids (cough Weissman cough) but the chaotic energy Andrew brings sells it for me
Absolutely this.
Josh has made me hate his videos
Andrew has a way more likeable personality!
I miss old josh :(
Andrew isn't yelling at us and isn't forcing the "correct" tools and techniques down our throat (no Josh, I won't buy a Kitchen Aid, stop being silly)
Babish: "The flavor just tastes like, y'know, something trying to be a cookie to me"
Try Guy Zach: "I like trying"
I don't eat vegan cookies because they're more expensive and worse, brother. Generic oreos are $4 max. They did the math on this.
Mustard allergies are bonkers.
My nephew has one and mustard is in everything! The color is used to replace artificial colors and the umami taste of the seed is used super often in things you wouldn't even imagine. The worst part is that it's labeled "spices" on the ingredients list so it's mega hard to identify until it's too late.
Tate's are definitely my fave. And, as a fellow NY'er, I'm surprised that you didn't put Entenmann's chocolate chip cookes in there.
Yes! Entenmann's and Mrs. Fields were 2 I'm used to seeing everywhere and was shocked didn't show up.
@@KrisKrisKrissy I remember that the Entenmann's cookies used to have so much butter and chocolate that I would get heartburn if I ate too many of them. :)
Also here looking for Entenmens. Sadly missing the similar Freihoffers.
34:26 Andrew not knowing what sugar bloom is has me cackling 😂
I am so glad that someone else finds the chewy chips ahoy worse than regular ones. It has been my hill to die on and I have felt like the only one who preferred the OG.
I think that's the common opinion tbh
they DEFINITELY changed the recipe. i remember liking the chewy ones more than the original years ago
I always compared the taste of the Chips Ahoy Chewy to Play-doh, even as a kid. Those Pillsbury soft baked give the same flavor.
They taste like chemicals to to me 🤮
Use to love the chewy and preferred them over the original. Tried chewy for the first time in years a few months ago and almost puked. They're so gross to me now lol
No *Entenmann's Chocolate Chip Cookies* is a crime.
No Entenmann's is insane
also no lindens is either since they're both NY brands
Somebody forgot that the Entenmann's cookies are on the Entenmann's end cap and not with the other cookies. Can't believe you did a chocolate chip cookie taste test without including Entenmann's.
RIP Famous Amos
Been a long time since I remember reading about them, but the original maker (Wallace Amos) of Famous Amos was sort of cheated out of his ownership in the early '80s. The guy had a different cookie brand eventually, local to Hawaii (The Cookie Kahuna). *edit. folded in 2018, which I didn't know.
I had the original Famous Amos cookies, which were sold out of Bloomingdales in NYC in the 1970s. Really great generous cookie with hints of coconut. Nothing like the processed dreck in the vending machine.
After a moment of thinking, my roommate and I came to the conclusion that the next ranking could be colas. Pepsi, Coke, RC, and all the ones I'm sure exist that I'm just simply unaware of
im so happy to be alive i love you andy ive been so sad and these ranked videos light up my days
Hang in there❤ I've been in dark places and it gets a lot better. Be kind to yourself❤
Hugs 🩷
1:46 That's actually science. Most of the flavor is in the smell/aroma, and stuff being wet actually improves sense of smell (that's why things seem to smell more intense after a rain). So when dunked, you do end up intensifying the cookies own flavor.
You're in NY and ranking chocolate chip cookies, so where was Mrs. Fields?
Maybe it's cookies you can buy in a grocery/supermarket. Mrs Fields you gotta go to a Mrs Fields store.
@@rainzerdesu Nope, I've always gotten them from checkout lines in grocery. Readily available in stores all throughout NY. Didn't even know there WAS a store for years
@@KrisKrisKrissy Name me a major grocery chain that carries Mrs Fields in every store. There isn't one. Maybe your specific store has it but no major grocery store lists it as a product they stock.
@@rainzerdesuI've absolutely seen them at a number of scores in NY and Mass. Had no clue there were Mrs. Fields outlet locations
@@rileysimmons9886 So name them. The biggest supermarket chains in NY, Mass, or nationwide do not list Mrs Fields as an item they have in stock. I'm not saying either of you are lying, i'm saying that having 3 grocery stores in the boonies isn't a widely available product. Even on A-Zon, you're buying from Mrs Fields as the only option
Canadian here, the president's choice cookies were indeed crushed from the overnight shipping. They're usually whole cookies and very delicious. Love from Canada!
babish please keep making these videos where its more of your personality and the banter with the cast, ranked and botched are my two favorite shows you put out
I was surprised that the NYC public school and vending machine staple Linden’s weren’t ranked.
As a canadian.... I hate chips ahoy... PC decadent are my nolstagic cookie. Glad to see they hold up.
After you’ve fulfilled your gatorwine responsibilities, I’d love a pickle episode.
The council is growing more and more impatient. If you are unable to provide the Gatorwine ranking that the council has requested, there will be grave consequences, Andrew.
Worry not, for the council is ready, and willing to strike with force if our demands aren't met.
I support all council actions to deliver our point
the WineGator hasn't been fed for quite a while
It means a lot to have vegan acknowledgement in these videos, especially without being super weird about it. I wasn't familiar with Zach, he was a great guest and I'll have to check out his stuff. Throwing in my vote for canned soup rankings!
You had a whole vegan section and no Uncle Ed's cookies??? Sabotaged that whole section!
Uncle Eddie’s would’ve swept
@@2222themoon truly the goat
They got all the bad vegan cookies
@@Over_Toasted honestly that’s what I was saying too when I was watching it
dude they pick the worst vegan brands and then go "vegan food sucks!" like bruh
Might I suggest for an upcoming episode: ranking different chicken/vegetable/beef broths.
The council's patience grows thin, Rea. Don't test us, for your life hangs in the balance. Give us the Gatorwine ranking.
I can only assume Entenmann's were disqualified from consideration because they would have thrown off the curve.
WHERE IS ENTENMANN'S??
I was raised on President's Choice cookies (Toronto). As a kid, I would have them for breakfast, toasted, and then spread with Country Crock butter 😅🤪. I haven't had them in decades but I would still give them a solid 9.
And for a vegan, gluten-free cookie, I recommend "Sweets from the Earth Ultimate Chocolate Chip" cookie.
I'm not usually big on "guest stars" in youtube videos but I found Zach hysterical
Famous Amos cookies used to be delicious! They had coconut in the recipe and a lot more chocolate chips and pecan pieces. Rather than being crumbly, they had a nice crunch with just a bit of chew. Then they sold the company and changed the original recipe. Totally inedible in my humble opinion.
Yeah I loved Famous Amos growing up, I haven't had them in a long time though and I didn't know they've apparently gone down toilet in quality so I was really confused when Andrew trashed them.
I can’t wait for the upcoming Gatorwine video! So excited
The council's incessant lobbying hath proven fruitful, for our requests for Gatorwine have been answered. But we mustn't grow hasty. Rea has yet to release the Gatorwine video. We must continue to implore him to give it to us.
Today is the day i will try the glorious Gatorwine for the first time, wish me luck folks.
Oh come on dude. I can’t believe you think she made them by accident - that story doesn’t give Ruth nearly enough credit.
Gatorwine episode idea: tasting every boxed wine, and for each test include drinking it straight, and drinking it as Gatorwine.
and the day after, best place for a hangover remedy top 40
You are very wise. From Nova Scotia, Canada here. We LOVE President's Choice Chocolate Chip cookies. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I don't know about other European countries, but in Poland chocolate chip cookies are extremely rare (and usually imports from USA). Most common cookies here are usually butter cookies with jam, while in stores we usually get either jaffa cakes or sandwich cookies.
There's those Danish cookie selections that existed since the beginning of times, and those always have some with chocolate in them. But yeah jam is more common.
And chocolate chip cookies are often called "American Style"
@@AccAkut1987 The Danish cookies are popular everywhere. Rarely actually to be eaten, but across the world moms keep sewing utensils and threads in empty cans :P
While I fear for Babish’s health, these rating videos are the best thing on UA-cam bar none.
Some ideas for future episodes. Plain chocolate bars, BBQ sauces - some are regional so they'd have to be shipped, Yogurt, Chocolate Ice Cream, Hot Sauces.
Chip ahoy are a forever childhood memory cookie
100% agree with you. They are a favorite childhood cookie. Ironically wife hates chips ahoy due to a childhood experience
“famously….amos” had me DYINGGGGGGG ANDREW
1:25 Wait, you WEREN'T going to do the dunk test, for choc chip cookies?
yall got babish bad vegan cookies....like
My grandparents ALWAYS had the PC brand decadent cookies on hand.....like they ran out. They immediately bought more.
Fun fact, when I was a kid I ran a study on what brand of flour made the best chocolate chip cookies for science fair. I got my parents to help me make a zillion batches of cookies and I sent them out to my parents' friends and neighbors with a survey to complete and tallied the results. Gold Medal Flour was the winner overall, but if you want a crisp cookie go with generic Pillsbury.
Video 4 of asking for every cambells soup can
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If your video can't comfortably be watched on a lunch break, then you have ceased to be a man of the people.
i feel like these need to end with Andy making the ultimate recipe that corrects all of the issues that were apparent in the store bought items
The best chocolate chip cookies are always the ones you make yourself
3:10 they must have changed the ingredients since I was a kid, because while far from tasting home baked, or even bakery baked; Chewy Chips Ahoy tasted a LOT less processed than the original in the 1990s-2000s,
"Every chocolate chip cookie" and yet again has Trader Joes (and even one *from another country*) and still no Aldis
I hope you go back to doing the rankings blind. It really added another dimension to it, not only because you ranked more objectively, but also I enjoyed the "please don't be Lays please don't be Lays" type of moments.
I genuinely think _none_ of the 'chips, ahoy' cookies deserve to be above 5. The chewy ones are absolutely vile, and don't even deserve to be called cookies.
When I eat them, my brain tells me that I shouldn't be enjoying them, but my mouth still does.
This is genuinely the best new show on UA-cam right now
The Zach crossover was dope lol
The way I waited for them to pull out Cookie Crisp cereal 😂
Gator wine should be a must on this series
“I don’t really like chewy texture”
*6 minutes later…*
“I don’t really like crispy cookies.”
You’re a hard man to please, Andrew.
Please rank every kind of vanilla yogurt
Protip: microwaving cookies makes them softer. Not just that one brand.
What we learned here is that Andrew doesn’t really like store bought cookies.
Tate's is my favorite crunchy cookie. But as a soft cookie enjoyer, I've accepted that nothing will scratch that itch quite like fresh homemade
Nothing, nothing, beats a fresh chocolate chip cookie just out of the oven….😋 😋😋😊
The way he said vegetables. 12:47
I myself love Famous Amos!
Babish has 100% the correct cookie opinions
I’m guessing that if it was a general vegan cookie ranking, Oreo would be the best out there
ranking every mayonnaise please
Wally Amos, Founder of Famous Amos Cookies just recently just died last month. He was 88 😔
I think the only legitimately tasty packaged cookie is the Oreo. Never disappoints in any iteration
Sadly, I'd take a little bite and throw the rest out. As someone who cooks and bakes at home, I find store-bought cookies to be too sweet and fake tasting.
Perhaps if I had no other choice, and I was hungry, then maybe I'd do store-bought chocolate cookies...
as a canadian, i could not be more proud of our PC decadent
Can you rank all diff brands of red wine, chicken nuggets, ketchup, cola, so many more ideas!
The funny part is that Candians don't even have a president.
It refers to the president of the Loblaws company.
I like how these videos always start out with a series of "These are the 12 versions of the product from that one ever present, US-market dominating competitor" and as someone from outside NA I have usually never heard of them. A nice reminder that despite the perception that you know the US very well just because US culture is in every other TV show and 90% of all movies, there are still so many things you just never hear about.
why am I absolutely living for this series...
I'd love to see this again with frozen cookie doughs. A great "I have a few minutes and a craving" snack.
34:50 That's called bloom. It's either the sugar or cocoa butter crystalizing from the chocolate. It's entirely safe.
