- Hi, I'm Jerry James Stone.
In today's video,
well, this is gonna be a little different.
So I actually don't know
how the results are gonna go with this video.
I'm not making a recipe,
I'm actually gonna try something
that I've seen on the internet
which we know is not always true, right.
So, I've seen this thing on the internet
where if you take a cucumber, sliced off the end
and then rub it on the end of the cucumber
it's all like white and foamy
and apparently that removes
the bitterness from the cucumber.
I think the bitterness is in the peel,
but we're gonna try it anyways.
So we're gonna have our control case
and we're gonna have our test case,
I don't know, maybe I figure what's called.
Anyway, we're gonna do two different ones,
we're gonna do one where we don't do anything,
that's the control,
and we're gonna do the one
where we do the thing that I learned on the internet
that is not the control and it's called something else.
But anyway, so just to start
I'm going to slice the cucumber in half.
This baby is going to be the control one,
so I'm going to set this aside
and this is gonna be our test case.
So apparently if I sliced off the end
and I've watched a handful of videos of this,
like you just slice off the end
then you rub the end on the tip of the cucumber
and I don't know, it looks wrong,
but I'm gonna give it a whirl.
So apparently you take the part that you cut off
and you take the part that it came from
and you're just gonna swirl this around
and it gets all like white and foamy
and that's what we're gonna actually test out
to see if it makes a difference with the cucumber.
I think it doesn't, but we'll find out.
Here we go.
I can already kind of see
the white foaming starting to happen.
Everyone that is helping me film this video
is cracking up hysterically
at this somewhat pornographic action
of rubbing the tip of the cucumber
on the other tip of the cucumber.
It's getting all over my hand too.
So you're supposed to do this until it stops producing foam
but I've been doing this for a few minutes now
and it hasn't produced any.
So like I said, I don't think this trick works,
I think it's just bullshit but I wanted to give it a try.
So we're finding out in the moment.
Okay, so it foamed a little bit in the beginning,
I did both sides of it,
now we're actually gonna give it the taste test.
So I'm gonna slice this baby up.
And I'll just do the end just to,
'cause that's where I was doing the rubbing.
Okay, the test cucumber.
Control cucumber.
Slice up the control cucumber.
Okay, there's the control one, there's the test one.
I'm gonna try the control one first.
It taste like a cucumber.
Now I'm gonna try the test one.
It taste the same.
It's still like a cucumber.
All right, I'm gonna have the people
who are filming also test it, so it's not just me.
Come on now.
So here's the regular one.
- [Man] Regular one.
- Regular one.
- [Man] Regular one.
I can't taste any difference.
- Yeah, I don't taste any difference either.
I'm gonna do one other taste test
where I don't eat the peel.
So I'll try the control one.
Cucumber.
And now I'll take the test one.
Cucumber.
So as I imagine that trick is bullshit.
Don't waste your time or your energy,
like if you really want that kind of workout
just get yourself a Shake Weight,
don't bother with the cucumber.
If you liked this video give me a thumbs up.
