- You're a fan of seafood?
- Yeah. - Ah, see?
(Jay yells) See, food!
- Oh no! - Oh my God, bro, this is wild!
- (PvF) Today, you're going to be doing a challenge
that isn't for the faint of heart, or the faint of stomach.
- Faint of heart or faint of stomach?
I wonder what that could be.
- (PvF) You're familiar with our Try Not To Eat format,
but today, we're going to do a Try To Keep Eating Food,
while watching how it's made.
- Oh, interesting.
'Cause there's a lot of really good tasting foods
that when I found out how it was made...
- I'm ready, I'm just like, I smell food.
I get to keep eating, it's not a Try Not To Eat finally.
- (PvF) Here are the rules.
If you stop eating at any point during the video we show you,
or look away from the video while eating,
you will lose a point.
If you make it all the way through without losing a point,
we'll give you a prize.
- Alright, I already have,
I already know how I'm gonna play this.
- Are you gonna fill me in on your strategy?
- I am playing to lose.
(both laugh)
- (PvF) We're kicking things off with one of the tastiest
and most popular fast food items in the world,
the McDonald's Chicken McNugget.
- Ah, this is gonna be rough. (Jay laughs)
- Show me the pink goop, I don't even care,
I will knock this [censored] out.
- These are so good. - I know.
- Straight chicken.
Nothing weird about them crunching like weird bones or anything?
- Oh, they get a little bird, but him on that...
- It's a chicken. - Oh.
- Actual chicken body.
- Now they're, okay, now they're gooping it in there.
- Grinding it up.
- Yeah, I mean.
- Oh, I mean, we've all bought ground turkey.
- Ground turkey, ground beef. - Ground chicken.
- (laughs) Aw geez. - It's like ground chicken.
Like, that's not that bad.
- Tendons and cartilage.
- Those are some good ass cartilage then.
- That's so cool, like look at that. All the little nuggets coming out.
- Is that how they make the spicy nuggets too?
- I think that chicken was organically raised.
- I think so, and humanely raised. - Grass fed.
- You know how they make patties? - Wait, this isn't bad!
Are you sure this is McDonald's chicken nuggets?
- They need laughter in this life.
- It had one bad day. It didn't even know what happened.
It was like this is gonna be... - One bad day!
- ...great day, what happened?
- (PvF) You're still good with eating chicken nuggets
after watching how they got made?
- Yeah, that wasn't bad, at all.
- (PvF) While McDonald's has updated their process of making it,
the Chicken McNugget still contains more than just meat.
It contains tendons, connective tissue and fat.
- Eh, don't we all?
- McDonald's Chicken Nuggets have a really bad rep,
because there have been rumors, like horrible rumors.
- Obviously, those are all rumors.
- Rumors.
- How many nuggets do you usually get when you go to McDonald's?
- I get 40. (laughs)
- (PvF) Are you a fan of seafood?
- I'm a fan of seafood. - You're a fan of seafood?
- Yeah! - Ah, see?
(Jay yells) See, food!
(both laugh)
- I'm gonna use that.
- I've been using that since 1977. (both laugh)
- Oh my gosh, there's so much in here too.
- Oh gross, this is like imitation crab.
- (PvF) So our next item is an imitation crab meat sandwich.
It's like a lobster roll, except with fake crab.
- Oh yeah, I am 100% down with that.
- Okay, it doesn't smell bad. It smells like tuna.
- Don't lose eye contact, we can win this, come on, let's go.
- Okay, okay. - Come on Anais,
we can get all the way through.
- (narrator) This imitation crab is made up of a paste...
- Paste? - It starts off as a paste?
- Dang!
- I don't know if I could keep eating this.
- I can keep going. I can keep going!
- This makes me wanna go vegan.
- (PvF) Oh, you're out?
- Yeah, I'll settle on this one. (Zaria laughs)
- Where are the gloves on these folks?
- Mm.
- (PvF) You gotta keep eating, Anais.
- Oh, this tastes really good, too. - (laughs) Mm-hmm.
- They go through all that.
- The over-fishing, I mean,
we are just like the worst people in the world.
- (PvF) So how do you feel about the fact
that fake crab is actually fish?
- Wow.
- (PvF) That's what you just watched, Jay.
How are you feeling?
A little queasy, I'm not gonna lie.
- So I'm eating fake crab. - Wow.
- It was the description that kinda like turned me off.
- She said imitation crab, were you like
I wonder what that means? Let's watch and see.
- Yeah, it went over my head.
- And then you were like I watched, I didn't see.
- Pay attention to details, kids, 'cause...
- Alright, now I'm nervous.
- (Ed) Oh cheese, okay.
- I can tell you right now, I'm not eating this.
- What type of cheese is this?
- It's blue cheese.
- (PvF) Normally, the cheese plate comes before the meal,
but the way we see it, it's never a bad time for cheese.
- Oh never, I love cheese.
- (PvF) Please indulge in this delicious blue cheese and crackers
while you watch the moldy process of how it's made.
- Nothing like a big mouthful of mold.
They got a vat of milk.
- (narrator) This breaks down the fat to give the cheese its smooth...
- Here, I'll help you, because you keep getting distracted.
- (PvF) Yeah. - What?
- So I saw liquid. - Okay, I can't, I can't. (laughs)
- Usually...
- I'm not feeding you, Jesus Christ! - Oh, I thought that came with it!
I thought that came with it. (laughs)
- It tastes like blue cheese, this is great, I love it.
- It's sour.
- Look at that mold, mmm.
- Penicillium?
- Yeah, you squeeze that in there.
- Here, take another bite of the mold.
- Don't know what the heck that is.
- Look at that, that's just mold right there.
- Okay, I'm getting another bite of this.
Did you quit?
- Yeah, I don't even... - Man, I ain't quit yet.
- Oh no, the video's not grossing me out.
This cheese is grossing me out.
- Why is the cheese grossing you out? It's good!
- I thought they just like, it's regular cheese,
and then they just sit it out for a little bit.
(both laugh)
- Did you see how juicy it was?
- Oh my God.
- Look, it's all molding in there! Oh, come on!
- (PvF) Alright Zaria, you made it through.
- I did.
- I like the smell of... - Feet?
Want me to take my shoe off? - Some type of feet, some feet.
- Oh yeah. (laughs)
You don't want me to take my shoe off then.
(both laugh)
- Good old American hot dog.
- (Jay) I love me a good heat doggy. - (Sharon) Oh!
- I'm high key a sucker for a hot dog, yeah.
- (PvF) So as you probably guessed, it's a hot dog.
This one happens to be on a standard white bun,
with you know, ketchup, so enjoy.
- (Ed) Okay, perfect.
- She's like a classic.
- You did a classic drizzle of the ketchup.
- (PvF) The national hot dog and sausage council
states that ketchup should not be used on a hot dog
by anyone over the age of 18.
- You know what I say to that? (crow caws)
- Yeah, I'm with you right there. - How about that?
- Throw all the meat in there.
- Chicken. - Blend it together.
- Okay, and I'm out, I'm out! - Okay, that's not it!
- You're fine, look at the little, vibrating a little,
like going through the grinder.
- Oh no, oh no! - Oh my God, bro, this is wild!
I'm not gonna lie, this is wild! - Oh no, my headphones fell off!
- (PvF) How are you doing, Anais? (Anais mumbles)
- I didn't know they made salt that big.
- Ground mustard?
- (laughs) Ground mustard.
- I cannot take a bite to this.
- Then turn your head,
because you don't want to ruin hot dogs for the rest of your life!
- I'm intrigued though, you know, like...
- Oh!
- Oh my God! - Tasty.
- No! - Oh yeah, there we go.
- I love my hot dogs, and you're ruining it!
(Jay laughs)
- They're just showing the recipe.
We can go ahead and make this at home.
- Oh my gosh! Oh!
- It looks like gelato. (laughs)
- Honestly, I might not eat a hot dog for a little bit now.
- (PvF) I think Anais is out.
- There's the sausage, yeah, the links that go through the casing,
'cause you gotta keep the shape.
- (PvF) Jay, I think that you are taking an L on this one too,
'cause you definitely stopped eating. - I can't even, I definitely, wow!
- Every year my family does a 4th of July hot dog eating contest,
and I will not be participating next year, so...
(Ed laughs)
- Yummy! - Listen.
- Is this a radish that's on top?
- Noodles and like fish cakes.
- (PvF) That white disc with a pink spiral
isn't just an iPhone emoji,
it's a fish cake called narutomaki,
and it's a super popular product in Japanese cuisine.
- I'm literally so nervous right now.
- Remember, soft serve, soft serve!
- (Sharon) Alright, let's do it.
- Let's eat this naruto... - Oh my gosh!
- Oh yeah, okay, so that's not bad. - Cement. (laughs)
- What is that?
- Looks like a construction site.
- Could you tell me what it is? - Mm-mm.
- (PvF) It is fish.
(Jay whimpers)
- Well, let's go ahead and take an L on this one,
because that's not a fish that I've ever seen.
- I'm wondering where the sweetness comes from.
- It looks really normal, right?
- So far, I'm imagining it as cement.
- You thought that was a radish? - Yeah.
- Oh my gosh! - Oh, there we go!
Now it looks like McDonald's chicken nuggets,
like I'm used to. (laughs)
- Look at that, it's paste.
- What is that? (laughs)
- And that was my question, and I was hoping you'd know.
- I can't even get to the taste because I can't get past the texture.
- Look, look, look!
- It looks like candy.
- What in the world? - Mm-hmm.
- Oh wow!
And then they just throw some pink in it?
- Why not?
- That's silicone plastic.
- I can't do that.
I can't do this to myself. (Sharon laughs)
- And he just slapped it, did you see him slap it though.
- Yeah, let me just go ahead and... - There we go.
- Right where it belongs.
- It is right where it belongs.
- That grossed me out more than the hot dogs.
- Sheesh. - Ooh, pepperoni pizza.
- How are you gonna gross me out with pizza?
- (PvF) Pepperoni is one of the most popular pizza toppings in the world,
and today we're gonna see how it's made.
- I've actually never seen how pepperoni is made, so...
- Honestly, I've only seen pepperoni in this.
- Oh, back, shoulder and belly.
- The belly is a very fattening piece of meat.
- I almost feel like this is how cheap pepperoni is made.
- I think just raw things in general gross me out.
- Mm-hmm. - Oh yeah, that's just a,
that's all natural brown sugar.
Oh yeah, with a little HAZMAT yellow.
- That's interesting that they hand mix that.
- That looks like sofritas from Chipotle. (laughs)
- Wait, that's a cool-ass tool.
- Okay, yeah, so there's the casing,
like we're used to seeing. - It is, yeah.
- They're becoming hot dog form before.
- 'Cause like as a kid, you're just like,
if you ever got ahold of them, you're just like these are nunchucks.
- That is fine to me. - It's kinda interesting, huh?
- No, as a kid, I just wanna hit people with them.
- Oh shoot, I looked away! Oh no! (laughs)
- This is a long process.
Look, I'm trying to slowly eat my pizza.
- Where are these factories at?
- It's meat that we know, we know where it came from.
- Mm-hmm. - And it's just ground,
and then put into like a sausage like shape.
- Dang! - That's the color we're used to, huh?
- It wasn't bad.
- (PvF) So are you guys gonna keep eating pepperoni?
- Yes. - Mm-hmm.
- Yes, that was completely normal.
- Oh no! - Ooh, okay, so we got tuna.
- (PvF) Swimming into our final slot is canned tuna.
- Oh hell yeah. - Is this...
- Mmm. - Hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ugh, I got the chills, ugh!
- Is that a tuna?
- Oh Sharon is gonna hate this. (laughs)
- Ugh, see, I think I'm done, and I think I'm seriously
gonna become a vegetarian.
- It's starting off with real tuna, which I appreciate.
- That is a tuna.
- Those things are huge, aren't they?
- Her taking out the bones, so yeah, this isn't that bad.
- Have you had tuna with the bones still?
- Yes! - Sometimes.
- She's done, she's like I can't do it.
- I feel like this process is very...
- I just look at this... - Very natural.
- And I just...
- I've been to sushi restaurants, I've seen them cut fish.
- But the catching of that tuna is not natural,
and do you know how many like... - Yeah, I mean, how you...
- Sharks and dolphins and things like that
are just killed and destroyed.
- This is good, this is nice.
- We need to go back how we used to jump in that water,
and get it, get that tuna yourself.
- You know, I love when the ingredients on the can
just says like the simplest stuff, like tuna.
- (PvF) Unfortunately, you both failed so you don't get the prize.
However, there is no punishment, so you can consider that your prize.
- Yay! - No punishment, come on!
- (PvF) And then Zaria and Ed, congratulations!
You were able to make it all the way through without stopping,
or looking away, so as a token for your success,
here is a lovely ice cream sundae. - Yes!
- That's not really fair, because I only stopped eating
because I hate the food, not oh, but I did look away
from the hot dog, I forgot about that. - You did, yeah, the hot dog, yeah.
- Alright, alright fair. - That was the thing.
- Ooh. - (PvF) Here you go.
- Wow! - Oh my gosh, look at that.
- Mmm, mm-hmm!
- Taste of victory.
- Fair, fair, fair.
- I might only have to go like sausage links now.
- Imitation crab, probably is gonna be a no-go for me now on.
- So American. - Oh yeah.
- Y'all have to chill. Get on that European vibe.
