I got a subscription to universal yums for a month because of these videos and I got the Japan one. -The Karl Cheese ones tasted like the bland bulk cheese puffs you can buy in grocery stores. -The Snowpea crisps tasted like vegetable chips - Everything else was great (with the wasabi shrimp crisps and the brown sugar candies tasting odd at first, but growing on you as you eat more).
+Nadata I subbed for about three months, but once I got the Japan one I unsubbed. Don't get me wrong, most of the snacks are pretty good. The problem, though, is they don't really put a lot of odd or unusual snacks. They seem to basically get things that are as close to American snacks as they can. So it wasn't really all that exciting after getting three boxes. There were a few really good, unique, things (one or two per box). For the most part, though, they were pretty boring.
+anubis243 im surprised they didnt add different flavors of kitkat, japan has so many different ones like red bean paste kitkats etc, would have been interesting to see stuff like that. a lot of these are just available all over the world under different brands
renny_S I got the feeling that they were trying not to freak people out by putting things in that would be really weird to an American. Which, for something like this, and in my opinion, was the wrong move. Personally I wanted exotic, unusual stuff. Things I couldn't easily find. But it seemed to be native foods that leaned towards American tastes anyway. My buddy and I (he subbed when I did) were talking and we agreed we'd settle for less stuff per box if each box was just more interesting.
yeah i get that they dont want to scare people but really in my opinion you get these boxes to try things completely foreign to you, its a shame they dont just do it!
renny_S I'd resub very quickly if they started being a bit wilder. They aren't attracting moderate foodies anyway, so they really don't need to worry about being risky.
+PoisoNico93 Well, Spoiler for Black Butler season 1: The ending basically has Ceil, the main character, getting sexually pounced on by Sebastian, before taking Ceil's soul. Its made worse from Ceil being placed in a very sexual position, having Sebastian take off his eye-patch sensually, and Ceil ask him to be as, "brutal as possible", to him. Yea, its a fan-girls dream...and thanks to me being sexually unsure about myself....I really don't know what to think about it.
+Daniel Syck - You "know this from history"? What does that even mean, like, what are you trying to say? Currently Japan is very similar in many ways to the West, but definitely not in history.
TheMrVengeance I don't think he meant it in a negative way. For example current Japan is a very different country from Imperialistic Japan. I would venture to say Japan is much more similar to countries like Canada more than other Asian nations such as China. He probably meant to say due to Japan's history, Japan was able to westernize.
Maybe because you're watching a miserable fuck hasten his upcoming death with the activity he's the best at doing: eating himself to death. It's exciting watching this insufferable narcissist kill himself slowly before your very eyes.
+Tom Dickens Oh thank god, I was starting to think people in the UK/US opened snacks like that and was distressed. Good to know it's him being different. :P
+Andres Angulo I just slice them with a kitchen knife. It's as easy as slitting someone's throat. :D That might just be an East Coast Italian thing, though.
+Tom Dickens In japan some of the crisp(or chips if you're from outside UK/Ireland) packets are fairly difficult to open by pulling the opening apart, so that's why he's probably tearing them along their y axis.
I'm only Vietnamese but most of the through-n-through snacks, sweets, etc. are usually traditionally made. Y'know, cooked and made, probably served at a stall if we're sharing, so they're usually pretty perishable. From the looks of it, I guess it's a thing with a lot of Asian snacks.
Botan rice candy were my childhood favorite, very nostalgic, I used to bring them to school every so often because my grandparents would get them (there's a Japan Town in the city I live in and certain stores sell it as well as a good portion of the snacks featured in this video, was happy to see TB liking a lot of them). I also had the slightest hopes to see dried cuttlefish, but I guess it's not really an actual "snack" snack.
I love miso soup. I've loved it since the moment when I first tasted it when I was around 18 yrs old. I feel so great & relaxed after having it. It is bliss.
Jlist does this bestsellers of the year box for most of their product categories, and their snack/candy one is beyond amazing. I once got some weird steak and bacon chips that to this day are the best chips I've ever tasted. It's only available around the end of the year I think.
OMG BOTAN RICE CANDY!!!! That was the stuff of my childhood! There is a Chinese place in town that would sell them with the take out and my brother and I would go nuts over it. And my uncle would send them over from Japan as well. :)
Me and my girlfriend spent 2 weeks in Tokyo last summer and we had no idea green tea could be so good, but we found out by trying out chocolates and also milkshakes at a Maid cafe. And green tea is really good :)
Genna, you are amazing! People watch these videos because watching a Brit guy make faces is funny! Getting a flap out of the unflappable makes it worth it! I am an American married to a Brit, so I get to play the home game, but he gets his vengeance via a jar of marmite in the fridge! If TB is ever craving them, I know a local butcher who makes British bangers for expats. Thank you for letting me know mine isn't the only one imitating 'One Foot In The Grave' (A Britcom)
+TheLadyJovia that's... not.... why..... In the first podcast he wore a robe in, he wondered why he hadn't taken advantage of robe wearing since he worked at home that's when Jesse began begging people to send robes to TB
TheLadyJovia master6339 beat me to the punch. Yes, he wore it because of the open hole he basically had in his stomach, but he did mention more than once how he actually came to enjoy wearing it and made a collection of those.
master6339 Wrong about what? He did say that, Jesse did say that (he even said more than once about making a line of Co-optional podcast robes =p. Needless to say Dodger was on board).
As an Indian, I am genuinely excited to see the Indian version of this. If Universal Yums doesn't live up to my standards on this one though, I'm going to personally send you some stuff from here! :) (please include theplas and daal mahkhani in a vacuum seal :P :D ) I just realized- that's a bit unrealistic; this stuff perishes rather quickly (that's why they didn't give sushis for Japan or burriotos for Mexico); with this in mind, I'm interested in seeing what they come up with; since I live in Mumbai, I've only been accosted to western brands for chocolates, albeit there are a few local ones that are quite nice, albeit not unique. There is a paan one though, which is nice (not eaten paan, but that one is quite nice; I've heard it mimicks the taste of it quite nicely too).
One of my mom's friends has moved to Japan and occasionally sent us a few snack things for us to try. There's some very interesting stuff there, too bad most of it wasn't in this box. Once she sent us a box with all kinds of chips just in one box, each kind with a very different taste and such. Also, no proper mochi in that box, too? Unless I missed something.
You need to get him to take you to Osaka Japan for a bit of fine Japanese dining. Hire a guide and enjoy. Or at the very least(and much cheaper) make him some Okonomiyaki, if you can make a pancake you can make this. Since it's just a pancake mixed with finely chopped cabbage and a few other things that can be anything. I prefer to make "Bacon Cheese Burger" Okonomiyaki Which is literally just adding browned ground beef, cheese, and chopped cooked bacon to the batter as well. As for the toppings, my basic spiced mayonnaise recipe is 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp wasabi or horse radish to a standard size jar of mayo. The Okonomiyaki sauce can be made by getting a normal size bottle of Worcestershire sauce, adding 1/4 cup of corn syrup and reducing in a pan till it fits in the bottle again. One note about the batter, while normal pancake batter is fine, I try to sub in 1 egg(if using boxed batter) for some of the water, it holds together better.
Brown sugar is a sucrose sugar product with a distinctive brown color due to the presence of molasses. It is either an unrefined or partially refined soft sugar consisting of sugar crystals with some residual molasses content (natural brown sugar), or it is produced by the addition of molasses to refined white sugar (commercial brown sugar). The Codex Alimentarius requires brown sugar to contain at least 88% of sucrose plus invert sugar.[1] Commercial brown sugar contains from 4.5% molasses (light brown sugar) to 6.5% molasses (dark brown sugar) based on total volume.[2] Based on total weight, regular commercial brown sugar contains up to 10% molasses.[3] The product is naturally moist from the hygroscopic nature of the molasses and is often labelled as "soft." The product may undergo processing to give a product that flows better for industrial handling. The addition of dyes and/or other chemicals may be permitted in some areas or for industrial products. Particle size is variable but generally less than granulated white sugar. Products for industrial use (e.g., the industrial production of cakes) may be based on caster sugar which has crystals of approximately 0.35 mm. Brown sugar is often produced by adding sugarcane molasses to completely refined white sugar crystals to more carefully control the ratio of molasses to sugar crystals and to reduce manufacturing costs.[4] Brown sugar prepared in this manner is often much coarser than its unrefined equivalent and its molasses may be easily separated from the crystals by simply washing to reveal the underlying white sugar crystals; in contrast, with unrefined brown sugar, washing will reveal underlying crystals which are off-white due to the inclusion of molasses. The molasses usually used for food is obtained from sugar cane, because the flavor is generally preferred over beet sugar molasses, although in some areas, especially in Belgium and the Netherlands, sugar beet molasses is used. The white sugar used can be from either beet or cane, as the chemical composition, nutritional value, color, and taste of fully refined white sugar is for practical purposes the same, no matter from what plant it originates. Even with less-than-perfect refining, the small differences in color, odor, and taste of the white sugar will be masked by the molasses. In the late 1800s, the newly consolidated refined white sugar industry, which did not have full control over brown sugar production, mounted a smear campaign against brown sugar, reproducing microscopic photographs of harmless but repulsive-looking microbes living in brown sugar. The effort was so successful that by 1900, a best-selling cookbook warned that brown sugar was of inferior quality and was susceptible to infestation by "a minute insect."[5] This campaign of disinformation was also felt in other sectors using raw or brown sugar such as brewing; Raw sugars are all more or less liable to be contaminated with decomposing nitrogenous matters, fermentative germs, and other living organisms, both animal and vegetable....For this reason, raw sugars must always be considered dangerous brewing materials. -E.R. Southby. A Systematic Handbook of Practical Brewing 1885 Brown sugar examples: Muscovado (top), dark brown (left), light brown (right) Whole cane sugar, unclarified Whole cane sugar, clarified Natural brown sugar, raw sugar or whole cane sugar are sugars that retain a small to large amount of the molasses from the mother liquor (the partially evaporated sugar cane juice). Based upon weight, brown cane sugar when fully refined yields up to 70% white sugar, the degree depending on how much molasses remained in the sugar crystals, which in turn is dependent upon whether the brown sugar was centrifuged or not.[7][8] As there is more molasses in natural brown sugar, it contains minor nutritional value and mineral content. Some natural brown sugars have particular names and characteristics, and are sold as turbinado, demerara or raw sugar if they have been centrifuged to a large degree. Brown sugars that have been only mildly centrifuged or unrefined (non-centrifuged) retain a much higher degree of molasses and are called various names across the globe according to their country of origin: e.g. panela, rapadura, jaggery, muscovado, pilconcillo etc. Although brown sugar has been touted as having health benefits ranging from soothing menstrual cramps to serving as an anti-aging skin treatment,[9][10] there is no nutritional basis to support brown sugar as a healthier alternative to refined sugars despite the negligible amounts of minerals in brown sugar not found in white sugar.[11] Turbinado, Demerara and so-called "Raw" sugars are made from crystallized, partially evaporated sugar cane juice, spun in a centrifuge to remove almost all of the molasses. The sugar crystals are large and golden coloured. This sugar can be sold as is or sent to the refinery to produce white sugar.[12][13] Muscovado, panela, pilconcillo, jaggery and other natural dark brown sugars have been minimally centrifuged or not at all. Typically these sugars are made in smaller factories or "cottage industries" in developing nations, where they are produced with traditional practices that do not make use of industrialized vacuum evaporators or centrifuges. They are commonly boiled in open pans, upon wood fired stoves until the sugar cane juice reaches approximately 30% of the former volume and sucrose crystallization begins. They are then poured into molds to solidify or onto cooling pans where they are beaten or worked vigorously to produce a granulated brown sugar. In some countries, such as Mauritius or the Philippines, a natural brown sugar called muscovado is produced by partially centrifuging the evaporated and crystallizing cane juice to create a sugar-crystal rich mush, which is allowed to drain under gravity to produce varying degrees of molasses content in the final product. This process approximates a slightly modernized practice introduced in the 19th century to generate a better quality of natural brown sugar.[8][14][15][16] A similar Japanese version of uncentrifuged natural cane sugar is called kokuto (Japanese: 黒糖 kokutō). This is a regional specialty of Okinawa and is often sold in the form of large lumps. It is sometimes used to make shochu. Culinary considerations[edit] For domestic purposes one can create the exact equivalent of brown sugar by mixing white sugar with molasses. Suitable proportions are about one tablespoon of molasses to each cup of sugar (one-sixteenth of the total volume). Molasses comprises 10% of brown sugar's total weight,[3] which is about one ninth of the white sugar weight. Due to varying qualities and colors of molasses products,[3] for lighter or darker sugar, reduce or increase its proportion according to taste. In following a modern recipe that specifies "brown sugar", one usually may assume that the intended meaning is light brown sugar, but which one prefers is largely a matter of taste. Even in recipes such as cakes, where the moisture content might be critical, the amount of water involved is too small to matter. More importantly, adding dark brown sugar or molasses will impart a stronger flavor, with more of a suggestion of caramel. Brown sugar that has hardened can be made soft again by adding a new source of moisture for the molasses, or by heating and remelting the molasses. Nutritional value[edit] Sugars, brown Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz) Energy 1,590 kJ (380 kcal) Carbohydrates
Sugars 97 g Fat 0.00 g Protein 0.12 g Other constituents Water 1.3 g Sucrose 94.5 g Units μg = micrograms • mg = milligrams IU = International units Source: USDA Nutrient Database Brown sugar has a slightly lower caloric value by mass than white sugar due to the presence of water. One hundred grams of brown sugar contains 373 calories, as opposed to 396 calories in white sugar.[4] However, brown sugar packs more densely than white sugar due to the smaller crystal size and may have more calories when measured by volume. Any minerals present in brown sugar come from the molasses added to the white sugar. Some molasses is a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron; one tablespoon of molasses provides up to 20% of the daily value of each of those nutrients.[17] Brown sugar contains minute amounts of minerals, but the difference in its mineral content from white sugar is not enough for added nutritive value in the amounts that sugar is consumed.[18]
We can find many flavors of pocky in our stores here in LA, banana, cookies and cream, dark chocolate (also called mens pocky), regular chocolate, strawberry, almond, coconut, vanilla, marble, green tea, and my fav, mint chocolate
It took me a solid 3 minutes to figure out, what seemed to be different in this video to all of the others... When I realized that TB wasn't wearing a morning robe! XD
Treacle is not brown sugar. Treacle is one step down from Molasses in the sugar refining process. Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with a little Molasses.

+David Sandkaulen His head still has the look and proportions of a baked potato
let´s keep this positive, shall we...
I got a subscription to universal yums for a month because of these videos and I got the Japan one.
-The Karl Cheese ones tasted like the bland bulk cheese puffs you can buy in grocery stores.
-The Snowpea crisps tasted like vegetable chips
- Everything else was great (with the wasabi shrimp crisps and the brown sugar candies tasting odd at first, but growing on you as you eat more).
+Nadata I subbed for about three months, but once I got the Japan one I unsubbed. Don't get me wrong, most of the snacks are pretty good. The problem, though, is they don't really put a lot of odd or unusual snacks. They seem to basically get things that are as close to American snacks as they can. So it wasn't really all that exciting after getting three boxes.
There were a few really good, unique, things (one or two per box). For the most part, though, they were pretty boring.

I got the feeling that they were trying not to freak people out by putting things in that would be really weird to an American. Which, for something like this, and in my opinion, was the wrong move. Personally I wanted exotic, unusual stuff. Things I couldn't easily find. But it seemed to be native foods that leaned towards American tastes anyway.
My buddy and I (he subbed when I did) were talking and we agreed we'd settle for less stuff per box if each box was just more interesting.
yeah i get that they dont want to scare people but really in my opinion you get these boxes to try things completely foreign to you, its a shame they dont just do it!

I'd resub very quickly if they started being a bit wilder. They aren't attracting moderate foodies anyway, so they really don't need to worry about being risky.

It's not the same without the robe. Praise the robe.

I just realized- that's a bit unrealistic; this stuff perishes rather quickly (that's why they didn't give sushis for Japan or burriotos for Mexico); with this in mind, I'm interested in seeing what they come up with; since I live in Mumbai, I've only been accosted to western brands for chocolates, albeit there are a few local ones that are quite nice, albeit not unique. There is a paan one though, which is nice (not eaten paan, but that one is quite nice; I've heard it mimicks the taste of it quite nicely too).

The Codex Alimentarius requires brown sugar to contain at least 88% of sucrose plus invert sugar.[1] Commercial brown sugar contains from 4.5% molasses (light brown sugar) to 6.5% molasses (dark brown sugar) based on total volume.[2] Based on total weight, regular commercial brown sugar contains up to 10% molasses.[3] The product is naturally moist from the hygroscopic nature of the molasses and is often labelled as "soft." The product may undergo processing to give a product that flows better for industrial handling. The addition of dyes and/or other chemicals may be permitted in some areas or for industrial products.
Particle size is variable but generally less than granulated white sugar. Products for industrial use (e.g., the industrial production of cakes) may be based on caster sugar which has crystals of approximately 0.35 mm.
Brown sugar is often produced by adding sugarcane molasses to completely refined white sugar crystals to more carefully control the ratio of molasses to sugar crystals and to reduce manufacturing costs.[4] Brown sugar prepared in this manner is often much coarser than its unrefined equivalent and its molasses may be easily separated from the crystals by simply washing to reveal the underlying white sugar crystals; in contrast, with unrefined brown sugar, washing will reveal underlying crystals which are off-white due to the inclusion of molasses.
The molasses usually used for food is obtained from sugar cane, because the flavor is generally preferred over beet sugar molasses, although in some areas, especially in Belgium and the Netherlands, sugar beet molasses is used. The white sugar used can be from either beet or cane, as the chemical composition, nutritional value, color, and taste of fully refined white sugar is for practical purposes the same, no matter from what plant it originates. Even with less-than-perfect refining, the small differences in color, odor, and taste of the white sugar will be masked by the molasses.
In the late 1800s, the newly consolidated refined white sugar industry, which did not have full control over brown sugar production, mounted a smear campaign against brown sugar, reproducing microscopic photographs of harmless but repulsive-looking microbes living in brown sugar. The effort was so successful that by 1900, a best-selling cookbook warned that brown sugar was of inferior quality and was susceptible to infestation by "a minute insect."[5] This campaign of disinformation was also felt in other sectors using raw or brown sugar such as brewing;
Raw sugars are all more or less liable to be contaminated with decomposing nitrogenous matters, fermentative germs, and other living organisms, both animal and vegetable....For this reason, raw sugars must always be considered dangerous brewing materials.
-E.R. Southby. A Systematic Handbook of Practical Brewing 1885

Natural brown sugar, raw sugar or whole cane sugar are sugars that retain a small to large amount of the molasses from the mother liquor (the partially evaporated sugar cane juice). Based upon weight, brown cane sugar when fully refined yields up to 70% white sugar, the degree depending on how much molasses remained in the sugar crystals, which in turn is dependent upon whether the brown sugar was centrifuged or not.[7][8] As there is more molasses in natural brown sugar, it contains minor nutritional value and mineral content. Some natural brown sugars have particular names and characteristics, and are sold as turbinado, demerara or raw sugar if they have been centrifuged to a large degree. Brown sugars that have been only mildly centrifuged or unrefined (non-centrifuged) retain a much higher degree of molasses and are called various names across the globe according to their country of origin: e.g. panela, rapadura, jaggery, muscovado, pilconcillo etc.
Although brown sugar has been touted as having health benefits ranging from soothing menstrual cramps to serving as an anti-aging skin treatment,[9][10] there is no nutritional basis to support brown sugar as a healthier alternative to refined sugars despite the negligible amounts of minerals in brown sugar not found in white sugar.[11]
Turbinado, Demerara and so-called "Raw" sugars are made from crystallized, partially evaporated sugar cane juice, spun in a centrifuge to remove almost all of the molasses. The sugar crystals are large and golden coloured. This sugar can be sold as is or sent to the refinery to produce white sugar.[12][13]
Muscovado, panela, pilconcillo, jaggery and other natural dark brown sugars have been minimally centrifuged or not at all. Typically these sugars are made in smaller factories or "cottage industries" in developing nations, where they are produced with traditional practices that do not make use of industrialized vacuum evaporators or centrifuges. They are commonly boiled in open pans, upon wood fired stoves until the sugar cane juice reaches approximately 30% of the former volume and sucrose crystallization begins. They are then poured into molds to solidify or onto cooling pans where they are beaten or worked vigorously to produce a granulated brown sugar. In some countries, such as Mauritius or the Philippines, a natural brown sugar called muscovado is produced by partially centrifuging the evaporated and crystallizing cane juice to create a sugar-crystal rich mush, which is allowed to drain under gravity to produce varying degrees of molasses content in the final product. This process approximates a slightly modernized practice introduced in the 19th century to generate a better quality of natural brown sugar.[8][14][15][16] A similar Japanese version of uncentrifuged natural cane sugar is called kokuto (Japanese: 黒糖 kokutō). This is a regional specialty of Okinawa and is often sold in the form of large lumps. It is sometimes used to make shochu.
Culinary considerations[edit]
For domestic purposes one can create the exact equivalent of brown sugar by mixing white sugar with molasses. Suitable proportions are about one tablespoon of molasses to each cup of sugar (one-sixteenth of the total volume). Molasses comprises 10% of brown sugar's total weight,[3] which is about one ninth of the white sugar weight. Due to varying qualities and colors of molasses products,[3] for lighter or darker sugar, reduce or increase its proportion according to taste.
In following a modern recipe that specifies "brown sugar", one usually may assume that the intended meaning is light brown sugar, but which one prefers is largely a matter of taste. Even in recipes such as cakes, where the moisture content might be critical, the amount of water involved is too small to matter. More importantly, adding dark brown sugar or molasses will impart a stronger flavor, with more of a suggestion of caramel.
Brown sugar that has hardened can be made soft again by adding a new source of moisture for the molasses, or by heating and remelting the molasses.

Brown sugar has a slightly lower caloric value by mass than white sugar due to the presence of water. One hundred grams of brown sugar contains 373 calories, as opposed to 396 calories in white sugar.[4] However, brown sugar packs more densely than white sugar due to the smaller crystal size and may have more calories when measured by volume.
Any minerals present in brown sugar come from the molasses added to the white sugar. Some molasses is a source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron; one tablespoon of molasses provides up to 20% of the daily value of each of those nutrients.[17]
Brown sugar contains minute amounts of minerals, but the difference in its mineral content from white sugar is not enough for added nutritive value in the amounts that sugar is consumed.[18]
DarkfallenProduction Wrong. Everybody knows Pam Grier is the source of brown sugar.
UnivegaSuperSport lol
Those shrimp wasabi things were my favorite thing to come from universal yums thus far.
I so wish I could get these yum boxes, but they don't ship to Australia :(
We watch because we love your face when you eat something particularly icky.
Like when you ate the Wasabi Shrimp Chips
0:33 "Don't really like sushi either"
*TRIGGERED*
TB, it depends on the miso you/they use.
ALL HAIL GLORIOUS NIPPON
Seriously, Japanese candy is a mixed bag. I don't understand the obsession with green tea but it's not bad.
what is this!? TB without a robe on?
Oh my glob.... Tb is wearing a shirt... Well looking good Tb :) enjoy these videos a lot too.
"Totalbiscuit Tastes Japan" Oh, this is gonna be good...
No bathrobe 0/10 would not watch again. Just kiddin, this is great Genna, keep it up :D
And he's wearing cloths!
That little white dot on the wall made me think I had a dead pixel at least three times damnit!
Brown sugar is unrefined white sugar.
I subscribe to Japan crate myself as I love my times in Japan and the food/snacks
We can find many flavors of pocky in our stores here in LA, banana, cookies and cream, dark chocolate (also called mens pocky), regular chocolate, strawberry, almond, coconut, vanilla, marble, green tea, and my fav, mint chocolate
I'm soooo glad TB is wearing clothes! He must be feeling better!
I like how he's suddenly dressed fancily compared to the usual :P
That's a fantastic start to a video.
It took me a solid 3 minutes to figure out, what seemed to be different in this video to all of the others... When I realized that TB wasn't wearing a morning robe! XD
How is miso soup shoe-tasting? Last time I checked, it's essentially salt. Unless I'm wrong?
Tb seems to recover from his illness, he´s back to wearing shirts!
Somebody needs to bring this to the UK!
I used to get Botan all the time from Chinatown
This video was not disappointing at all, but this box was. The majority of the items included are the same exact thing you can buy at any Kroger!
You need to send the rabbit in a car to the completionist XD
Oh sweet TB. You have a pebble on. Nice.
I love how im sitting here eating wasabi while watching TB get tortured by it.
fried seaweed with wasabi flavour is one of my favs :3
lol the cat was the best non- content thing in this video. I wish they could feed the cat with some of the food they get from the boxes.
TotalBiscuit: my tongue only likes sugar.
Treacle is not brown sugar. Treacle is one step down from Molasses in the sugar refining process. Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with a little Molasses.
They should include the different flavored kit kats. There's wasabi, blueberry cheesecake and like strawberry shortcake flavour etc.
Biscuit-Senpai! Why you so baka? (Am i doing it right guys?)
TotalBiscuit decided to go formal today!
The more tortured TB looks, the more enjoyable these videos become. XD
I love kasugai gummies! :) I need to try hi-chew candies too. :)
I recommend getting some acoustic wall art to dampen that echo! (If that's your dining room)
We have come to the season finale of "TB Tastes..."
TB, the reason we watch these are because you don't want us to :3
As someone living in Japan, I wish I could send you a box! Get something actually interesting in there!
It was me, DIO! I made the first brown sugar!
