Never trust any cereal brand that uses the same art style as Google.

The only good reviews I've seen/heard for the cereal come from people being sponsored.
@@lostalyxwho’s that
I tried the chocolate one because I'm trying to diet but it tasted like sawdust
My guy really just picked the No Sponsor difficulty for his UA-cam career
That is what we call a hobby instead of a proffesion. And also the sponsors he has not trashed yet (I mean he is really fair, not trashing anyone really), would maybe like to buy his integrity. Would be a sad day to see that.
now im just saying
if he ever does a sponsorship we can be sure its a legitimately good one
so an actually proper company might like to sponsor him
Remember Shane, you have been invested with incredible power. If you mess this up, the ghost of Uncle Ben will come back to whup your ass back to the Stone Age.
My favorite thing about Magic Spoon is that once every couple of months it always ends up at the local grocery discount shop for $0.33 a box
$.33 a box I might actually buy some.
I've never been lucky enough to find it on discount. I would actually give Magic Spoon a try if I could find it for a reasonable price. My local grocery store sells it for $10 a box. There's no way I'm paying that.
I find it at the swapmeet for 5 bucks for a two bag
@@hamsterama I actually have eaten it, I definitely enjoy the peanutbutter one and chocolate one, but keep in mind I dont eat cereal with milk, I drink the milk and eat the cereal. I have no idea what they taste like with milk.
@@user-ug3pt5rl3kDid you find Magic Spoon on sale, or did you pay the full $10 per box price? If you paid full price, did you think it was worth it, or did you think it was overpriced?
I don’t care if the cereal tastes like a chunk of heaven fell into my cereal bowl, 10 dollars for cereal is a war crime.
Oh, 10$. Don't get me wrong, that's still a lot for a bag of processed sugar and grain, but from the way people were hyping it up as so expensive in the comments I was expecting it to be like 30$ or something LMAO
@@snakewithapen5489 imma be honest, average cereal box at my country sell for like 14$-18$ each. Not to say these 10$ in the video are cheap but it shocked me knowing how more affordable it is at other's country lol.
@@snakewithapen5489 i got on a discontinuation sale for like $3 per box lol
@@sugarfall6611wtf? It's like less than 4 dollars in mine
@@Gadottinho like the big box like in the video?
If you look at the ingredient list, Magic Spoon is basically just protein shake powder formed into lumps.
So when you add milk, it all starts to dissolve like protein shake powder and forms, well, a lumpy protein shake.
So basically you're adding an acid to a protein. That probably explains it.
No wonder it gave me a weird chalkiness in my mouth after eating it.
no it doesn't. i eat this cereal every morning and it's so good even my kid likes it. and it stays perfectly crispy. god the internet is retarded. also, i'll concur that corporate memphis artwork sucks and i'm not a fan of the boxes. but the cereal is actually really damn good and this video is just hyperbolic clickbait BS. also, for the record, you don't have to order magic spoon online (where it costs around the same amount as literally any other specialty food you can order at a distance on the internet) - you can just go to a grocery store like grocery outlet that carries it, where it costs basically just regular cereal prices.
it tastes Iike eating straight whey protein. It tastes so gross
@@ActuallySanFrancisco There were pictures in this video of the in-store prices for these items. Just because you and your kid enjoy overpriced cereal doesn't mean this gentleman has to. You should probably get used to people disagreeing with your tastes given your shill-ass response to disagreements surrounding them.
$10 for an under 10 oz box is actually twice the price AND half the amount of your average name brand cereal box. I don't understand how a company can last this long doing business like this.

@@TMoney-wt1cw Sounds like you were living a pretty comfortable life if you think everyone had money to blow during the pandemic.
It's called venture capital
I can already hear it now. "This video is sponsored by product x. I know i literally make fun of sponsorships on my channel, but i genuinely love this high-quality product that..."
Lol love that you're blowing up immediately. Maybe patron?
Dang it. I was like "holy crap this series seems awesome" and then I clicked to the channel to watch more and turns out this is your first video. Please make more.
same 😭 and it’s edited so well too!
Same
WAIT WHAT
bruh this is like my third youtube attempt and I get that my content is lower quality but like... cmon... 30K subs from first vid? that's gotta be some pocoloco tier luck...
look again and you'll see a new video
I feel like sponsorships tend to not be "get paid to say the product is good" as they are "get paid to not mention how terrible the product is."
That’s… how sponsorships work. Why would you pay anyone to say anything remotely negative about your product? (Edit) never mind I think I misread, although I’ve never seen an ad read like that.
@@Sevrgpro And knowing that nobody would pay someone to say anything negative, why would you listen to someone who was paid to say something about the product? The whole thing is pointless.
Because people are stupid @@eclipserepeater2466
@@eclipserepeater2466It’s not pointless because it’s marketing. Marketing a product by telling its flaws is a horrible idea. Also people are starting to actually use these products instead of just saying how good it is anyway.
Before you shit on sponsors remember that they pay UA-camrs the money that UA-cam won’t pay them.
A series like this is very much needed, especially with just how many shady companies are out there. Like Hello Fresh could use a serious teardown.
Hello Fresh and Magic Spoon are not shady at all.
@@supersanic1254 Look up the video Hello Dystopian Fresh by Fab Socialism on youtube. The video goes into detail about just how shady of a company Hello Fresh is as a company, from it's food waste, to the lies about the actual freshness of the food, to just how terrible they are towards their workers.
As a person who lives alone, hello fresh is actually a pretty solid service that gives me 6 meals per box (2 servings per recipe) and for $65ish per box it beats getting fast food or last minute grocery store runs.
I remember the Hello Fresh video by Fab Socialism to be pretty good! Some workplace malpractice a lot of people don't know about
I don't get why any uses Hello Fresh. At least where I live, most shops offer a delivery service and the ingredients are much higher quality than Hello Fresh, considering it wasn't shipped halfway across the world to get to me. Their recipes are literally available on their website without a paywall
Saw a Twitter thread that breaks down how crappy most big sponsors are a while back. I feel like this is a well-made video version of that, and I look forward to future episodes.
My friend sent me this and I'm glad she did. No jumpy text that serves no accessibility purpose other than to visually yell at you, no constant flashy graphics that gives sensory overload, a pace that isn't too slow that it's boring, but also not too fast that I feel like I need to pause to catch a breath, plus a perfect amount of humor mixed in. Subscribed :3
Damn do you a link to that thread somewhere, maybe?
This video is the start of something special.
I'll remember this comment...

Hyped to be one of the first video subscribers among the 2k+ wonderful people here
with how pessimistic i am i was genuinely expecting this to be a video about how magic spoon did a cover-up to hide how its cereal was causing cancer or something
imagine my shock when it's just overpriced
Overpriced and kinda shitty taste wise.
Also, too much artificial sweetener can do....not so nice things to your stomach if you eat 'too much' of it.
Also, it kinda boggles me a lot that if the product is free of sugar, then why price it more? Unless they added something that is even worse than sugar.
@@BiBiren i mean replacements can sometimes be expensive if theyre trying to replicate the thing theyre replacing (example being: gluten free food) so the costing gets added
@@0verpricedcoffee553well, it's wheat free, and not really true, there are many cases where the "replacement" is much cheaper, hence why they use it, like with soy """milk""" which is cheap af
@@BiBiren because sugar is so cheap. it's the fact that it actually contains some useful stuff for your body other than fortified sugar that increases the price. i would still say it's too expensive, but that's could be due to other factors like not being a "name brand" like general mills.
Pro tip: usually, people don't like watching food being wasted, regardless of their flavor
True
But.... And the funny ?
I could've fed all that to my chickens, and they would have loved it.
@@AngryReptileKeeper i strongly doubt this is good for chickens
As someone who enjoys Magic Spoon, your video is honestly pretty refreshing for me. I know it's a bit of a fool's errand to expect people to be a bit more honest and open about a product that's sponsoring them, so it's cool to see someone actually speaking their mind about this.
Definitely agree in that the price is insanely high, especially compared to most other cereals, but I guess what softens the blow for me is that I don't eat a ton of cereal in one sitting. So $40 of this stuff can last me several months.
Also, I'm glad you didn't have to endure those damn "cereal protein bars" that they sold around a year or so ago. They were basically just a way worse version of the treat bars they sell now. Genuinely do not miss the taste of those things.
I also like it, but I found a cheaper brand. I would still buy it full price, though. Protein is expensive, and I don't eat any meat and most animal products (some dairy such as the included milk protein, obviously), so I have to pay for it somewhere.
I like it dry as a snack, personally, especially with honeyed mixed nuts for extra protein (and to make up for that low sugar bit, haha).
If I need a sweet munchy, it may as well have protein in it!
I like Magic Spoon too and also don’t eat it all the time so it lasts awhile. Price-wise it seems on par with other keto cereals and I like that it’s generally healthier than the standard counterparts (which I also still occasionally eat). Usually I have the Magic Spoon for dinner once in awhile, if I really don’t feel like cooking and just want something on the lighter side.
Ironically I was loving Magic Spoon well before it became another frequent YT sponsor. Most of them taste good to genuinely delicious to me, and most importantly, it doesn't contain pea protein like many other similar products; I have a very annoying pea allergy and with pea protein and pea fiber popping up everywhere in new "healthier" processed foods and beverages it's been frustrating. I resent the high cost, but since my stupid-ass body has forced me to give up sugar against my will, I'm grateful they exist so that I can have an occasional cereal fix without feeling like I'm dying. I had the 4-box monthly subscription so that brought the cost down to about $6 a box - still not great, but better. (I've had to cancel for now while I'm between jobs, which sucks.)
Their only flavor that I thought was wretched was their knockoff Fruit Loops - that shit tasted like fucking Pine Sol. Peanut Butter, Maple Waffle, and Chocolate Chip Cookie are my favorites. I don't get a weird aftertaste from any of the flavors, and I appreciate that Peanut Butter has a salty note that feels like a grown-up version of Cap'n Crunch.
@@Nylak-Otterwhich brand?
I like them too but it's definately not an everyday food. My favorite's the peanut butter ones. I don't tolerate lactose that well anymore as I age so I'm using vanilla oatmilk, so it probably changes the flavor somewhat but I think it works. I add banana slices to my bowl for one heck of a good start to a weekend.
my man came in here with no previous videos and dropped this banger
Interestingly, he may have had a few videos before this that he privated. In the end card it links to another video that says it’s unavailable.
He had other videos but he deleted them all
@@everythingpony Were they like this one?
It’s like that guy that dropped that video about making a fork out of salt
What if he's like a corporate plant???
The real reason why it’s called “magic spoon” is that theirs a magic trick they do where they suddenly drain your wallet if you buy their cereal.
When I think of “magic spoon”, I think of an edible chocolate spoon.
@@sweethistortea I think of the matrix
Nah. Doesn't do that at all. It is actually cheaper than normal cereal, as it lasts much, much longer than a normal box of cereal. Plus, when you are diabetic, which is who this product is intended for, you eat way, way less.
@@supersanic1254 how much did they pay you to shill for them?
me when i lie
General rule of thumb, if a product is being sponsored on YT, the chances are it is going to be overpriced at best and normally a scam of some sort.
I dont care how healthy it is, anything more than $10 for a normal size box of cereal is a fucking scam.
holy shit, i've wanted a series like this forever. something that honestly reviews the common youtube sponsorship products. i'm so happy this exists and will 10000% be subbing for more
My guy needs to setup a patreon or gofundme to fund his research costs :-D
It’s so tiring hearing “THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED BY” at what feels like random points in so many videos. The beginning summed up my emotions so well. So seeing someone go against it feels good. UA-cam has gone way too corporate. So many people sell out to tons of companies that don’t deserve it.
You should look up swell entertainment and watch her videos as well if you want more of that sort of thing
@@CalebBurnsGamesDotCom blame youtube for demonizing and demonetizing anything that isnt part of their agenda
you believe it that easily? dog.......
the absolute shock in my face finding out that this is your first video
@@im_Carlisleme to, genuinely
He’s a gifted man
@@blazingstar9638Yeah.
Right!? This was so well done I'm surprised it's the first one
probably has been doing this for a while just under different usernames or something
This new series is exactly what I've been wanting. I am so sick and tired of every UA-camr cramming sponsorships down our throats; as if having the increasing number of ads wasn't degrading the user experience enough. So seeing a show that actually takes an honest review of these products and services is a breath of fresh air.
...in their defense, and i know i sound like devil's advocate but hear me out, i was looking it up, they get paid a percentage from the ad revenue but if people skip the ads no money is made so youtube makes no money from it and therefore the creators don't get paid. a viewer would have to watch the whole ad for them to get paid; i forgot the exact percentage from the article i read but literally barely anyone watches the ad and doesn't skip. hence why there's more ads you can't skip these days, but there are ways around that too. these sponsorships might be the only money they make off youtube . however no one should quit their dayjob when trying to start a career on youtube ...
@@unknownlizbethI understand why UA-camrs take Sponsorships and if UA-cam videos was my job, I'd most likely do the same.
It just feels like this all this website is now is just chasing popular trends and promoting products. But I guess you could say that of every entertainment medium.
@@nickjoffe8433 Here i can agree. Also never mind the fact that it feels like every other creator on here is so generic! Everyone copying everyone, no originality to stand out, same editing style. Same overbearing subtitles which don't get me wrong it's good in a way for those hard of hearing but i just feel it goes overboard sometimes. Or the video being 8-10 minutes and the sponsor being 50% of that. The sponsor being intruding , Or the video was just plain clickbait and the creator still has the nerve to try and sell me a product . I like the ones that go smoothly into the sponsor tho, the ones where you can't even be mad or the ones that make it fun instead of just reading off a script ! Rare breed tho. Rare breed.
Seems like you need to diversify the types of videos you watch, based off your subscriptions I just see cooking, let's plays, and meme stuff. If you keep seeing copy pasted crap, it's because the algorithm thinks you want to see it. Gotta start hitting the top right 3 dots and click not interested or don't recommend this channel.
But he isn't honest in his review. He isn't the intended audience for the product, so he really does not have any frame of reference here. It would be like a vegan reviewing a meat product, of course they aren't going to like it, they aren't who it is meant for.
I tried Magic Spoon and I personally thought they were amazing, both in terms of taste (both dry and with milk) and their micros. But the boxes were so tiny, and even with the small size they weren't even full. One box lasts for maybe 2-3 adult serving and the price is outrageous.
"That was a fun watch I wonder what other videos this guy has made"
Really well put together, excited to see what else you make
Oh hi fir
Fir jumpscare lol
Woah fir spotted
Yeah
i've commented on other videos about magic spoon before but i'll say it again here. my family has a lot of food allergies that make it hard to find regular cereal we can eat. one time, my mom picked some of this stuff up to try and even i, someone who can't have normal cereal and has no frame of reference, thought it was pretty bad.
the main problem is obviously the price, but also since it's made of milk protein it welds itself to your teeth and gets slimy. the amount in each bag was also really disappointing, i went through the 3 boxes we got in about 4 days. it was a nice-ish novelty that is NOT AT ALL worth the price even if you physically can't eat regular cereal.
also this was an amazing first video for the channel, definitely earned my sub. hope you keep up the good work.
honestly youre not really missing out on much. cereal is just kibble for humans. and much less nutritional then that too, at least most of the time
@@carpetburns4007 I've never heard cereal described as 'kibble for humans' before but you're absolutely right. Its main benefit is that it's a very quick and easy breakfast. Even then I'd much rather just have a slice of bread. (Gluten-free bread isn't too bad either!)
@@tsurugizaki I used to eat cereal for breakfast and noticed I barely felt like I had eaten at all an hour or two after, which led to snacking. It's literally just sugar. Now I make my own bread in a machine. Costs pennies, and it's super convenient. I don't feel hungry in the morning anymore.
1) Breakfast cereal in America is either literally crack designed to addict children, or religious sacrament designed to stop sexual urges I'm not kidding look up Kellogg. 2) Personally I quite enjoy Magic Spoon and have successfully recommended some flavors to some people, but I'm the type to eat caramels specifically because it spot welds to your teeth. So this is right up my alley.
Nowadays you can eat a bowl of marshmallows or cookies and call it cereal. The word has lost all of its meaning.
Ahh!! This is a series ive wanted for so long. Exploring popular sponsers to see if they're ACTUALLY good at all
Omg dude please do that air flavored water stuff next! I just know it has to be bs or at least blown out of proportion. this vid was awesome and I can't wait to see more from you.
it just annoys me how much it invades the video. like anyone who works with air up end up showing it throughout the video and not just in the sponsor segment ://
@@lamibonxdProbably cause the sponsor terms are intrusive, youtube sponsors are notorious for being a mixed bag of lenient or incredibly strict
I’ve tried air up and I’m positive people are lying about how good it is just for the sponsor money. It’s such a waste of money. The flavour is weak af. Just buy bottles of flavoured water. Don’t waste your money on air up.
@@rachelhartland6192 basically what I was guessing already lol. Sure smell has a part in taste but it's not like if you spray blueberry fragrance around ice cubes they're suddenly going to taste like blueberries
@@joshuagraham1800 I love air up (not a sponsor just a customer) but you gotta know what you're actually buying. I knew it would work as intended but obviously it's not going to taste like you're drinking straight up blueberries or sugar water. It tastes like you steeped fruit in the water to infuse it, which to me is a fantastic subtle taste. Instead of having to make lemon water, I can drink from the bottle. It's great. But that's just it, it's slightly flavored as if it was infused. I wanted that, but the average consumer has to understand and temper their expectations.
Air up to me is rare in actually not being a scam at all if you understand the product, and kind of a marvel in science and convenience, but the sponsors I think exaggerate it or consumers are expecting more.
I hope your digestive system and wallet have recovered.
My sister is Vegan and loves pop-up corporate consumer brands, the more seemingly Indie, the better. This review confirmed every one of my suspicions that I had drawn instantly upon looking at the packaging.
Unfortunately, your suspicions are very much incorrect.
@supersanic1254 How do you know what their suspicions were?
The ingredients on regular breakfast cereal is long because breakfast cereal is fortified (added vitamins and minerals). It's like a weak multivitamin sprayed on.
I am SO shocked this is your first video!!! From the editing style and the commentary I assumed you’d have at least 30 videos by now, but just ONE??!?!
This was an awesome video, and I love the series concept! Can’t wait for more!
He has other videos that are private apparently
@@miragebangbravern2024 ahhhhhhh
Shane McGillicuddy has been honing his craft and training in a cave for years and now he’s taking his revenge
The thing I keep coming back to when it comes to Magic Spoon is that if someone really wanted a way to eat a lot of protein, why would you go with overpriced cereal when there's a whole host of other breakfast options? Hell, anything can be breakfast. Why does sugary cereal have to be healthy?
Edit: oh crap I didn't expect this to blow up.
Thank you everyone for your responses, they have been pretty insightful and I'm feel like I've learned a lot, so thank you.
same reasons all healthy replacement food exists: dietary restrictions and craving control. it's safe for lots of different allergies and low calorie diets but it still fulfills cravings for cereal. or ice cream, brownies, cake, poptarts, milkshakes, slim jims... there's so many health food versions of junk food.
cereal is fast, that's one of the main reasons it became a popular breakfast food to begin with. not a lot of quick (as in, nearly zero prep time) breakfast foods have high protein. i eat other protein cereals with some soy milk pretty regularly for my protein needs.
The real question is why not just plain corn flakes? Quick, easy, no added sugar. If not, maybe oats or granola. Or a plain rice cereal?
@@YurinanAcquilineI think its more not everyone wants having plain corn flakes for breakfast than it is just having no alternatives.
You can cook an egg in less time than this video runs for.
This is amazing content friend! Very enjoyable! Please continue unbiasedly reviewing common sponsors, it’s a breath of fresh air! I did almost skip by your video thinking it was an ad itself from the thumbnail, but I’m very glad I didn’t! Can’t wait to see more!
(P.S. sorry for your bank account 😢)

@@Glumbus1the dude said its his first in the comm tab
The whole concept of Magic Spoon is absolute idiotic nonsense. Non-Grain CEREAL!? GTFO! And THEN they have the nerve to charge almost $10 a box! How evil! And to top it all off, they have the absolute most HIDEOUS art design of any cereal company! I hate everything about them!
And now we await the next episode... Congrats on such good production value for a first video!
I told myself I would never spend $10 on a box of cereal, so I salute your great sacrifice.
Yeah, if I'm ever at the point I can afford that much for a stupid box of cereal, I hope I can have a better breakfast than a stupid box of cereal
importing cinnamon toast crunch is $9.54 here

if this is actually your first video (and everything else isn't just deleted or unlisted) then damn great job on all fronts. From the intro that grabs your attention, to the pacing and comedic bits, its very well done!
the throwing stuff around is funny
@@OctopusEight I got HowToBasic vibes with the senseless throwing and smashing.
Here's to more of that in future videos.
@@OctopusEight”have a bowl, Mr. Squidward!”
Yeah
I think it actually is their first video (unless they have another account), the channel analytics number says currently they have around 220,000 views and the video (at my time of watching) is at 230,000 views, so the number is just probably a bit behind on updating.
So good!!🎉
I love your very realistic portrayal of cereal and gravity.
Made me think of how weird are those commercials of food floating through air or into bowls in slow motion.
Bro literally like every single sponsor I see on UA-cam is like way too expensive. I remember that Dr. Squatch stuff and it was like $12 per BAR OF SOAP. And like I had Oli-pop and it was like $5 per freaking CAN of "soda." Like dude these sponsorships are going for the bigguns.
The Dr. Squatch soap is a scam in my opinion because it's literally soap for men😭😭. Oil pop they sometimes sell them at Target for like $2-3 bucks each. It's not horrible but it's kinda flat compared to a real soda or sparkling water.
the state of the american economy where a healthy cereal can be charged for $15 a box
Edit: turns out it's not that healthy lol
"Healthy"
More like the state of health brands taking advantage of people wanting something other than processed garbage.
@@flameguy3416much better then 57g of sugar in 100g 💀
and the dollar is the world standard like it only gets worse from here😂
@@whutcat682Then stop eating cereal, genius. It doesn't taste good in the first place.
Any product that sponsors UA-cam vids is usually shit. Raycon earbuds for instance tout themselves as having great slund quality and long battery life, etc., etc... But in real tests they were shown to have really poor bass and treble response and the lows were unaturally boosted. Kinda like Beats by Dre where they just boost the bass to make the average consumer think it sounds good. If you really dig into the science behind it everything falls apart really quickly. I only bring up Raycon because audio the area I am most familiar with and hearing about those shit ass earbuds on every video gets old real fast. Also any company who willingly brands their products with corporate shill art style is to be avoided at all cost, I hate that bubbly generic crap. It's like it was designed to make the companies feel less evil and threatening but only serves to make them more uncanny.
Also, great vid man I subbed and am looking forward to more!
This reminds me of that other stupid thing people shill. I think it was called "established titles"? It was like, "Do you want to be a lady or lord? Well, now you can!". It was selling like a 5x5 plot of land in Scotland or England so you could have a formal title. The whole thing is one big scam.
Didn’t Raycon actually improve after their first line of sponsorships revealed that they were essentially $40 wireless buds with a warranty and a charge brick for twice the price? IIRC they sent the new ones out for review and people liked them.
@dashieldmasta177 my friend has a pair he got after his other earbuds broke and he seems to like them well enough. To be fair I don't think either of us are auditory experts, though both of us do collect and listen to CD's and other physical media so I'd assume he can determine crappy audio from non-crappy audio.
Also VPNs. I bet you, 99% of people don't and will not ever need a VPN. The only real use for average person would be to access region locked content (freaking racists). All this talk about 'safety' is a bluff.
@@PineappleDealer37 I'm assuming the "freakin racists" part is a joke? Sry I'm just checking lol
Awesome first video man. I've always been curious about the dubious quality on a lot of these sponsored products, and Series like this is perfect. Looking forward to the coming videos!
Found this from the displate video, as soon as that started I realized it was a series, so I came to channel and found a playlist organized by release date, already loving that. Hate having to go to the last video and then the second to last, etc.
And the I watch this videos intro, dude, that intro. I know I'm gonna love this channel already, the intro was beautifully done and must have taken ages to edit with all those little excerpts from sponsorships 👏👏👏
I finished the video and checked out the channel for more -- quickly found out that this is the first and only video as I write this.
_Seriously_ can't wait for more. Sign of good things to come, dude.
Yeah!
It’s really cathartic watching brands and companies that I despise just because they get promoted by UA-camrs now have actual reasons to despise them.
Why do you hate companies being promoted by youtubers tho
@@thatoneundertalefanatic Honestly, why shouldn’t they? Sponsor companies tend to offer really awful products and services. Having to sit through entire minutes of ads that are part of videos themselves isn’t fun.

God my new favorite channel. I just love the short bits of Shane just throwing an object at something.
I always see this brand in the grocery outlet stores because no one bought it. It sells at about $2USD there. The first time I saw it, it looked like a teen action novel’s dystopia cereal.
DAMN. I expected a whole back catalog to go through....BUT THIS IS YOUR FIRST VIDEO?!?!? A banger out the gate my dude.
Our Dude's out here dropping a top shelf edit of a video on a smurf account as if he wasn't a seasoned 7+ year UA-camr with dozens of video essays and skits on consumerism, pop culture and the 21st century Zeitgeist.
what?
Dime mas
@@sophiathompson9583 i dont get it
this guy has editing chops that speak to a history of editing and editing well; the commenter is inferring their hypothetical prior work is about much the same as this video itself (consumerism & pop culture)
er ok, what is his primary account then?
Can we talk about how this is the most soulless art Ive ever seen on cereal boxes?
My diet is based off a few simple rules. One of these rules is to not eat things that are free of the thing that is the basic essence of the food, such as grain free cereal, or fat free butter, or dairy free cheese, or meatless meat. If I don't want meat then I don't need to replace that with meatless meat. I'll just do without, and I seem to get by just fine. So grain free cereal, eh? I kinda thought grain was pretty much the definition of cereal. Who knew?
Some people cannot eat cereal, like diabetics. This allows them to have that option. Plus, this is way healthier than the bowl of sugar cereal most people eat. Love Magic Spoon!
was really disapointed that this wasnt a channel with like 100 videos like this. insanley good quality stuff here man
used to be not anymore
But now you get the incredible joy of new videos and one day if you're good and study hard, you too can make a nostalgia channel about this channel's fall from grace during the great Fazbear War of 2083
Love the video! Suggestion: maybe put a graphic EQ on your mic and lower the 100-600 range by a few decibles. It should sound a lot clearer.
No kidding. The voiceover is barely intelligible.
An actual actionable comment under a UA-cam video is a rare treat to see. Thanks for being one of the good ones
@@kentstallard6512that's a stretch, you can easily make out what he says maybe it's your sound system
@@kentstallard6512well that’s just an exaggeration
@@kentstallard6512 elder posting
I find it weird how their ads imply all cereals are high-sugar candy, when stuff like Cheerios exist.
Which is also high sugar candy lmao. It's all sugar.
@@supersanic1254I wouldn't exactly consider 1g per 27g to be high.
@@DLCguyYour body turns all carbs to sugar, besides fiber. So yes, bowl of sugar indeed.
@@supersanic1254 Ok, but clearly there's a difference between eating grains and eating white sugar. In no world can you say Cheerios and Fruit Loops are basically the same nutritionally.
I have a self-imposed rule to never purchase a product or service promoted by UA-camrs. Hasn't failed me yet.
Editing on point!! Cant wait to see more videos in this series
Holy crap this video was so funny and informative, I suggest “air up” next! When ever I hear “air up” come up as a sponsor I genuinely question how it can work.
Omg yesssss
The artstyle on the boxes tells it all
Yup
Soulless and heavily processed
npc food
@@haramsaddam238don't forget how the art style is way too bright and colorful.
Now this is a series I can get behind. Hope to see more stuff from ya
i really appreciate someone spending there own money and giving an honest review of something like this. THank you sir. great video
These high-protein foods always have a problem of being very chalky, so they try to offset it with sweeteners, but your tolerance of sweeteners will make or break actually wanting this stuff.
I love sugar. I love sugar. I love sugar.
Whey protein is the culprit.
now what's crazy is that not ONLY did i just look up this cereal yesterday curious to try it (not knowing it was a sponsor anywhere, found it in a blog tier-list) but this also happens to be your first video!! no bullshit, keeping it authentic to yourself in terms of personality, review, style of video, and just genuine communication. i appreciate it greatly; not only for the product review, but you choosing to be matter-of-factly yourself. excited for your future work, thank you!!
It tasted really weird, but i still see someone like the taste for a good reason.
Most of them have this sugar replacement taste for people who can't eat too much sugar but still want some sweets. It tastes like less sweet corn syrup and the recognizable bad aftertaste.
Around 9 years ago i was told by a doctor to replace normal cane sugar with this sugar replacement. First few weeks are rough only because of the aftertaste, but the rest are okay since i'm already used to the aftertaste, which i think the same reason why some people thought magic spoon is not bad.
But in general, they're not good, especially with the horrible price.
@@alieffauzanrizky7202 Exactly! Only people that think this tastes terrible are those with a sugar addiction. If you don't have that, the taste of Magic Spoon changes greatly.
Lots of BS in his video though.
Can't believe this is your first video. Awesome work. I'd love to see you review Air Up, Factor, and Hello Fresh.
Dude, your channel is amazing. Instant sub, love what you are trying to do here.
Bro- this is the first video on this channel?? This is a type of content that's very needed on this platform, and you did it with such good quality.10/10
Any time a cooking channel is sponsored by Magic Spoon it is jarring, like I went to a fancy resturaunt and the inside was decorated with ad posters for Pop Tarts.
this for some reason gives me that annoying feeling when people make a mess for no reason... like I know its your place you're gonna clean it afterwards.. but idk man..
YES! This is exactly the kind of content I think should be made on youtube, putting more light on popular sponsorships of many youtube videos is a great thing.
Loved the video. My biggest request though is could you please mix the audio to remove sharp peaks? I was watching this with my AirPods in while on a walk, and there were several points where the volume went from conversation level speaking to loud clashing/clanking noises with no warning.
This was a great video and I’m excited to watch more. Plz just don’t blow my ears out.
yeah probably should've used a limiter or something, because even without headphones it's jarring.
It's his first video, allegedly. I agree with you guys, however I believe he'll correct that issue as time goes by. At least I hope so, because I'd like to support this channel, if possible.
@@MomMom4Cubs im not saying he’s a bad person. Just wanted to make him aware of the issue
I think it is meant to sound like this for memeness.@@TheGoldenFluzzleBuff
@@VrantusMusicOfficial “no no, you misunderstand. I beat you over the head with a bottle for a joke”
This channel is going to be an absolute bangger
Loved this video, can't wait to see what you put out next!
What a hell of a way to start a UA-cam channel, I loved this video!
Also it's crazy how as someone chronically on YT, how many of those faces in the intro I either watch or at least knew of
Same, and it will be fun for people like us who are chronically on UA-cam to see which of the main sponsors that they all use has good products if at all. I wonder if he’ll look into the various VPNs next or hello fresh and their daughter companies. I’m so excited
@@shanel4294god it would be so cool to see a review about Factor_ and their """""healthy""""" meals
Costco offers 3 bags of Magic Spoon in one box for nearly the price of a standard retail store, which definitely makes the taste a bit more palatable. However, I think they only offer the fruity flavor, and - like someone else in the comments mentioned - the milk protein makes the cereal stick to your molars, so it makes the eating experience less enjoyable. I'm also not looking to replace nutritionally dense breakfasts with something that is just a macro filler.
I've tried 3 different keto/high-protein cereals: Magic Spoon, Catalina Crunch, and Three Wishes
Three Wishes is my favorite so far regarding texture, ingredients, macros, and price point. That said, yeah, it's common sense cereal isn't supposed to replace whole foods when it comes to breakfast (or any meal for that matter), but it's fine sparingly or as a quick pre- or intra-carb snack for workouts. I think it's perfectly fine to use as a supplemental calorie/macro, but you'd be better off doing something much cheaper.
Definitely subscribed and am stoked to see more stuff. I'll be waiting for you to cover Factor/Hello Fresh. The concept of saving time on meal prep and having macro-friendly meals definitely appeals to me, but the price and some of the photo-reviews definitely keep me from giving them my money.
You're doing the Lord's work, 'ppreciate yah.
I’m in a Discord server with a married couple that said they really liked Factor. I’m glad they were able to feel like they get their money’s worth both food wise and enjoyment wise. I also think it’s a nice concept if you can afford Factor/Hello Fresh, but I just can’t support the HF company. They’ve done some pretty bad stuff like union busting, unsafe working conditions, the Thai coconut milk being sourced from Thai farms that use forced monkey labor to get the coconuts, plus more I’m probably not aware of. Very scummy company, so every time I see a sponsored segment for them it makes me cringe. Same for BetterHelp but that’s a whole other can of worms.
For the protein amount though, the price is really good compared to other sources of protein. Never had the cereal stick to my teeth either.
@@supersanic1254I live with a gymrat brother and he would never buy this crap cereal for protein because people who require it have entire meals and diets based entirely around getting it lmao. its okay if you like cardboard but stop acting like magic spoon is the pope of cereal
I'm glad somebody brought up the absurdity of paying this much on cereal.
"ingredients that'll destroy your immune system" is quite a thing to just skim past.
Dude WHAT?! LESS THAN 2000 VIEWS? This is some of the best edited and consistently delivered content I’ve ever seen. You are an inspiration. Fuck. Yes. I hope this series survives as a real thing that ends up with sponsors so you can irreverently tear them apart. Absolutely subscribing.
the glazing is crazy
@@Z..z..zz.you a clown for this tbh
@@Bug-vl3pb He's not wrong lol the standards for a "good" youtube video clearly aren't that high.
@@dilbophagginz for a small creator this is a very well made video.
WTF i thought i was into some youtube account with a series full of rating cereal. cant believe this is your first video! it's very well done! we love it!
Yep, and I find it cool to see a UA-camr make videos specifically about products and services heavily advertised through UA-camr sponsor integrations. I too was surprised to see it was their first video, and immediately subscribed!
Bro ikr super cool! I was also surprised by how many subs they have and only one video. They deserve it but I’m just not used to see that!
@@RaspBerryPies it's not their first video, though. for whatever reason, the others are private
@@Miserycordya Oh huh I guess that makes way more sense how they got the follower count up so high! How can you tell they’re private videos? Sorry idk UA-cam that well
As a diabetic with coeliac, magic spoon is kinda great. I mix it with regular gluten free cereal to make it last longer (1:1 mix) and it massively flattens my glucose spikes in the morning.
Having said that, given the price, it’s basically only good for people who need to limit sugar _and_ have awkward dietary requirements (like coeliac).
I love the video!! Please make more of this type, like there's so many stuff to choose!! Also was checking your channel and this is your first video? The quality is so good!
honestly this is really well done for a first video, the scripting is good. the gags are atlewst chuckle worthy and the editing is top-tier.
Big fan of the constant hurling of seemingly anything you can get your hands on. Your rage is palpable and I’m loving it. Excellent video
We really need to talk seriously about the stuff youtubers will take as sponsorships. There's no quality check and most youtubers just take any sponsors, and with how many have proven to be shady this is not looking good
Wait. This channel has only two videos?! Quality of this looks like there has been entire series somewhere! Great job, can't wait for another sponsor review
Liked how the review feels very authentic like it's just some normal guy approaching it without looking at it through a whole microscope. Looking forward to future videos that you'll put out if the first episode already has this level of production and quality.
Unfortunately where I'm from the cheapest box of cereal usually is about $10. We've suffered some pretty bad inflation over the past few years. And it'll be for the small boxes and not the family size ones (which cost an arm and a leg more).
You throwing the cereal boxes constantly throughout this gave me some good laughs. Awesome vid, mate! 👍
same i just stop eating breakfast entirely
Tbf this would sell for like 40$ in your country
@@Whatismusic123 With the currency conversion rate, you probably aren't even wrong, lol.
where r u from? 10 dollars for cheap cereal sounds insane
Where are you from where something like basic cornflakes are 10 bucks per box? Genuinely curious
I've been trying to cut carbs so I picked up a box at the grocery store. One thing going for it compared to other low carb cereal is that it's actually edible. The other two I've tried (I've forgotten the names) were like cardboard or dog kibble. Magic Spoon still isn't worth the price, but I might pick another box up if I get another craving for cereal.
got 4 boxes one time when I had a little money to throw around and I actually liked them, but I could never justify the price to buy it again
Before I see any "you wasted so much of the food," food waste is not an individual person's problem. It's a systemic issue. We have enough food to feed everyone on Earth many times over. Blame companies for making dog-ass food at unreasonably high rates. This person is doing nothing that would affect someone who doesn't have enough food because most people who don't have enough food already can't afford this crap.
Great video btw, very professional, I already subscribed. I'd love to see how AG1 actually is at some point, I see Wendigoon do sponsors for them and Magic Spoon so I'd love to see an unsponsored person review them.
Thank You. My last job was in the culinary world, and I remember having to throw away many one or two bitten meals. It is systemic problem, as well as people not knowing how hungry they really are. I have some future videos plan that might tow the line of food waste. But I am going to try my best actually keeping that to a minimum. And if I do, it will be on camera, trying to make it more entertaining. I won't be buying and wasting gallons of condiments just to make a viral Tik Tok.
But he did buy an inferior product at overpriced price, which is bad for the market and economy!!!!1!1!1!1!1!!
Can’t believe you’re such a new UA-camr with literally only one video and less than 15K subscribers. Your confidence, personality and editing style makes it seem like you’re a UA-cam veteran with years of experience. Good job man. You just earned yourself another sub
21K now!
@@LiterallyInklingGirl - 27.4K, as I type.
Right? I was thinking maybe this is like his 5th or 10th video or something, but no, it's the very first. That's crazy.
I’ve been wanting to see a channel that does exactly this! We’re bombarded with advertisements as is on the daily and with UA-cam it’s hard to say what’s a good product and what isn’t especially when some turn out to be huge scams like the one where you buy a piece of land from another country for $50 (I forget the name but you know the one) I look forward to what you cover next!
Oh! I'm really interested in this series. Please, make more!
i really like their cereal and i’ve been eating it for years. i’ve also had a cheaper alternative which felt like eating flavored cardboard, magic spoon feels much more normal, and i think the flavors are really well done. i have a medically restricted diet so i don’t really have other cereal options, but i wish they’d make something less expensive
might want to be careful if you can't have sugar, there's been research that shows allulose ( a sweetener in magic spoon) can actually be processed the same way as sugar by the body, and labelling it sugar free might have been wrong.
I concur. I enjoyed most of the flavors, and it's been great for my full time job when I simply don't have the time to make my usual eggs and toast or don't want to prepare overnight Oats. This has been a life saver in that regard. My only issue is the price tag. I may bite once in a while unless I find a good deal on me. Cheapest I found was $5 clearance which was definitely a better price. There was also a double package deal for $12 that I jumped on and wish I got more. As for taste, it's hit and miss. I'm used to sweetener taste; been using Stevia for a decade for what would had normally been sugary beverages. I didn't get that impression, but I will say that I did enjoy eating it.
Overall, love the cereal brand, but the price certainly kills it. Some decent alternatives (but certainly big on acquired taste), consider Catalina Crunch, Special K Keto, or Eat Your Mouth Out.
I would be careful with magic spoon if you have a restricted diet, the science isn't all in on how the body processes allulose, there's evidence it's just another form of sugar and the body makes glucose from it just like sucrose.
I don't know what yt keeps doing to this comment, third time ive made it now, keeps vanishing, but there's conflicting studies on allulose as a sweetener. the human body may infact make glucose from it, which depending on your dietary restrictions could be bad news.
@@dan_loeb i’m pretty sensitive and it doesn’t seem to bother me, but i’m sure there’s some variance from person to person like everything else
The biggest lesson to be learned is if it's a UA-cam sponsor, it's not very good. And this is one of the better UA-cam sponsors.
The only "UA-cam sponsor" I've tried is HelloFresh, which I actually like a lot, but I get what you mean
I've tried the cereal. I hate the texture.
The thing is the whole point is that you're paying for the high price, low volume and bad taste supposedly for the high protein count. But the amount of protein in it is still quite low. Theres less protein in this than a pint of milk
Great video! Was nice to hear actual critiques on the taste instead of how it’s the great cereal in the world.
I found some boxes of this at the store, so decided to pick up the peanut butter, since so many people were promoting it. Personally I found it strangely salty and ended up using it to make some trail mix instead.
i freaking HATE that artstyle to DEATH.
As an artist, I completely agree. Their art style is way too bright, doesn't have any outlines and is way too colorful for a smaller canvas.
Said nobody ever
? @@stewart950
What a beginning!!! This is a sorely needed project and I absolutely love the editing & narration. Extremely professional & eye catching. Will be looking for more!
