    Food Theory: What chocolate takes the longest to melt? I want a chocolate bar or candy that I won't need to worry about melting, and I want the best option possible. Perhaps a specific method would make it last longer like freezing beforehand or putting the chocolates in some sort of concoction? I know you're the guy for the job MatPat, make me proud.

    Honestly, as a male, the Doritos idea of making a version that is less crunchy and powdery sounds good to me.
    It should have been be marketed as a “stealth” version or even a “theatre edition”.
    Easier to eat at the movies, or for office workers to eat chips at their desk at work, or for students at the library or the back of the classroom haha.
    It’s a shame they had to take the “female version” route for that idea. Males can appreciate clean and quiet chips too.

    • @jentryiguess
      @jentryiguess 2 роки тому +193

      I thought the “female edition” was disgusting cause we can be gross too and gives in the stereotype that women are always proper. I love your ideas of renaming it!
      If they were to exist as “female edition,” I bet they will be more expensive as regular Doritos because woman’s tax lol

    I'm really curious if the shape of the chip is a factor in crunch volume, like crinkly Ruffles or rolled-up Takis. There's a chip brand I used to eat a lot called Sensible Portions, which had a very delicious veggie chip that was both zig-zaggy and slightly bowl-shaped, and it had a pretty good crunch for being a relatively soft chip.

I still remember the opening was that MatPat was excited to eat excessive amounts of candy only to get a stomach ache before finishing a single packet of Gushers. Can you please make this a reality?

    Wild hypothesis: I'm wondering if decibel levels alone are a good metrics for crunchiness... some research would need to be done but my instinct tells me crunchier chips would have more high-frequency content in the spectrum (which might not necessarily result in higher decibels) whereas soggier chips would have more low-frequency content in the spectrum. So... yeah, a spectrogram analysis might yield more faithful results!

    As someone who worked in a poutine restaurant, partially frying a destarched potato (which can be done after slicing in cold water over night), setting aside to cool, and then finishing the frying results in a fry that is crispy and crunchy enough to not immediately melt under the moisture of the gravy. So yeah, the same technique with your chips, thick cutting them, would result in a crunchier result.

    Could you look into fast-food french fries? I'm positive that they are doing something that makes them impossible to reheat and enjoy. Maybe find out what it is, how you can reheat them successfully and which fast-food fries are the best to reheat? Anyways thought it would be an interesting theory for you to match all the fast food videos.

      Honestly, I don't think any oil-fried fries are good reheated or leftover. Pretty much all fried foods I've had from restaurants and takeout places and made at home aren't good reheated because they dry out or just don't taste the same. I usually end up just eating them leftover cold, depending on what it is. Then again, all of the fried foods I make at home are meats (chicken tenders, chicken thigh fritters, thin-cut, boneless pork chops, and pork tenderloin medallions), so they're fine leftover. But fries as a whole for me are never great again, reheated or otherwise.

    Suggestion: For draining, don't let the chips pile on each other and use a wire rack turned upside down on paper towels, this puts the metal rack in contact with the paper allowing them to more effectively wick away oil without letting the chips rest on the soggy paper towels. Less oil bogged chip = better crunch

    Chips should be placed spaced out on a wire rack to dry. This allows any oil to drip away. If chips are piled together, that traps the oil in between. Placing them on paper towels just holds the oil on the chip. More importantly, you should not be eating the chips to test their crunch. Your mouth is creating different shapes and moisture levels, which affect the volume. You should have made a rig to simulate a consistent bite.

    Food Theory Suggestion: growing up in the 70's and 80's I was indoctrinated into a number food related urban legends often centered around samonila. One I recall was the care required to never let jelly (refrigerated) get into the peanut butter or it will give you samonila. This nrings me down the rabbit hole to the modern concern with food allergies and the insistence by some that these allergies never existed in the before times. But now I wonder were all these 70's and 80's food fables just the explainations given to the physical symptoms people sometimes felt due to allergies, rather than actual illness? I recall a study several years back suggesting some short term flus (24 hour bugs) were actually just cases of food poisoning, but I feel too little has been done on the question of how legends get created to explain phenomenon that are in truth based on annecdotal rather than empirical evidence.

    Before seeing this, id imagine wavyness of the chip seems like it would be a big factor as it gives much more collision areas and cracking areas, so either way it should be wavy ja?

    I just made bread cut in half (through the middle both ways) that was slightly buttered and flipped and pan cooked and that crunch was 79 decibels loud.

    The Real MVP of this theory is Stephanie. Having Misophonia and going through all that crunching is no joke.

      Depends on what sets off the Misophonia, for me, I can't take lip smacking of any level and certain kinds of chewing, but crunching isn't an issue (well with exceptions of course, feeling off on any day makes everything worse...)
