- God, I learn so much from the internet.
- Don't fail me! AHH!
Wow. I'm just really bad at eating fruits the right way.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) The internet has discovered that perhaps we have all been
eating pineapple wrong our entire lives.
- Oh! Yes! I saw that! Yes.
- I did see that people were tearing the pineapple pieces apart,
but also, like, I don't know, there's just something
about having a nice... spear of pineapple
that's just so good. - (FBE) So, we want you to try
this new way of eating pineapple... - (gasps)
- (FBE) ...and some other foods you may have been eating wrong as well.
- Oh my goodness. There's more? - I'm excited.
I love-- anything that makes eating food more efficient,
that I can get it into my stomach faster, I'm down.
- (FBE) First up, let's look at a new way of eating pineapple.
- Whoa.
- (laughs) Yeah, okay. I've been eating it wrong.
- So, you're basically just taking it off from the pointy parts.
- You just pull on the poky thing a little bit
and then you sliver it up. That's interesting.
- I love it! When I first saw it, I freaked out. I was like,
"Are you serious right now?" I've been-- I've been...
eating pineapple the wrong way. (laughs)
- (FBE) Let's give it a try. - Oh, we're trying it? Okay!
- Ooooh! Okay!
You're supposed to get it just from the pointy parts.
Go, go.
(crunch) Ooh!
Okay, okay. Okay, it's working!
See, my thing is, I'm already sticky.
- How do they do this?
It's hard to get through the skin. - Who's gonna sit in front
of their television with this big pineapple and be like,
"I'm just gonna have a little bite"?
And then try to... (laughs) I can't even--
This-- now I'm mad.
- I can sort of do it. (laughs) I can sort of do it.
But no, that's not convenient. My hands are all sticky now.
- What the [bleep]? Oh, there it is. Ah!
I want a good piece! Dammit.
There we are. Yeah. Look how messy this is.
You wanna do this? - This is impossible.
I think I'd rather just use those cutting equipments
that the market has already put out for us
and just continue eating pineapples that way.
- (FBE) Let's see if this is a possibly smarter way
to eat chicken wings. - Oh, chicken wings. Okay.
All right. - (man) Find the bone.
You wanna wiggle it. You wanna-- - Oh, I've seen these.
Yeah, I've tried this actually. - (man) Twist it.
Wiggle. Twist it some more
until it comes smooth out. You see that there's...
- That doesn't look too hard. - (man) ...no meat left on the bone.
- God, I learn so much from the internet.
- (man) Find the next one and do the same.
Twist till the bone comes out again...
- Okay. - (man) ..free of meat.
- I can see that. - It's like deboning by hand.
- (man) ...turn is a straight piece of meat.
- Now, I am a bone-in purist.
Any boneless person would tell you,
"That's why you get boneless wings." But that's a lie,
because boneless wings are just glorified chicken nuggets.
- This just makes it a boneless nug. Save yourself the trouble
and get a boneless wing. (clang!)
- (FBE) Okay, your turn. - Thank you.
So, you take the puppy here, right? Twist a little bit, right?
And then you just kind of spin the thing right there.
I've told you. I've done this before.
- I'm gonna twist. Wow, actually.
That was really easy. Shut the front door.
Wow.
Mm. Satisfying. I'll absolutely use this.
- (chuckles) I feel like I'm destroying the entire chicken wing
by doing this. It kind of defeats the purpose.
- I think I got one-- no. Nope, nope. I failed.
I just ended up tearing the wing apart.
- I actually don't eat chicken wings normally
because of the bone. I'm like, "Ugh! It's too much work."
This is a little bit of a whole new world for me.
- I think this one works depending on the kind
of wing that you have and depending on the chicken
to bone ratio, 'cause this one had bigger bones
than I feel like what the other guy had.
But it's fine. It's a wing. Just [bleep] eat it. (laughs)
- (FBE) Now, let's see a different way of eating a cupcake.
- Wait, what?
♪ (upbeat dance music) ♪
(buzzer) - Oh, please. (laughs)
- Yeah, I've seen this one before. - Oh, wait.
Is this the sandwich thing? I think I've seen this before,
and I thought, "What... blasphemy is this?"
- No way!!
Cupcake sandwich! - That makes a lot of sense.
- But who's gonna do that at a party?
- Yo, dude, I'm living for this right now.
That's so smart! - I've seen this one before,
but I've never tried it. So, I'm excited to be able
to try this out for the first time and see how well it actually works.
Ooh, this is a nice-looking cupcake.
- All right. And like so... smush.
Oh, I'm getting a little cream on the bottom.
This isn't working out. Yeah, I'm still getting messy.
(chuckles) Let me try it, though.
That's satisfying. It's like when you eat
something in sandwich form that isn't normally in sandwich form,
you're like, "Yeah." - The more I taste it,
the more I think I really like it this way,
'cause I love the cake part of it. I've never been a huge frosting fan,
but this is perfect because you're getting
more cake with your frosting.
- This actually is a way better method to eat a cupcake.
The icing is actually spread more evenly,
whereas when I'm eating it from the little wrapper,
I don't know, you're just either getting the icing in your face
or just something's off. - Oh, it's-- doesn't work, guys.
Look, it's just crumbling apart.
Messy free, my butt. - See? Look. That-- no.
No! And now, my fing-- no. By the time I got done
cutting it in half and doing it,
I would've already eaten it the regular way.
- (FBE) Here is a new way to eat strawberries.
- Ooh.
- Already too much work. - I'm a little skeptical about this.
- I think this is actually more work than eating a strawberry normally.
- I've seen this before, and I still haven't done it,
and I love making chocolate-covered strawberries,
and this is perfect. - I am shooketh.
If you're preparing it for a party, it'd be kind of cool
to not have-- just to bite size it.
- Sick. I'm realizing that all of this feels more like this is
for the kids who liked their crusts cut off.
This just feels a little bit extra.
Like, just [bleep] eat it.
- (sighs) This is a waste of my time.
I mean, seriously, come on. Now, I'm still doing this.
I'm still gonna get a knife. - Don't fail me! AHH!
Wow. I am just really bad at eating fruits the right way.
- Think about your life, and then push!
Okay. Yeah. This is kinda cool.
- Nope. (chuckles)
It definitely takes out the middle, but the leaves are still on it.
- Woooop!
Oh, nice. And then-- oh, there's no pit.
But also, what's difficult about eating a strawberry like this?
You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not that hard.
- This one feels a little bit more extra to me.
Like you could-- literally, here's my method.
You just... no straw needed. (laughs)
- (FBE) And now, let's see if this is a better way to eat Toblerone.
- Oh! I've been waiting for that one, because I always
hurt my mouth when I eat those candies.
- (woman) Normally, what you would do is break the piece off that way.
- Right.
- (woman) Wrong. - Oh, wrong. (laughs)
- (woman) ...break it off that way. - I just stuff it in my mouth.
- Yup. I can see that.
- Okay. But how is that different from doing it the other way?
- (woman) Ta-da! - Ohh.
I've just been taking the giant Toblerone stick,
and I just bite it off with my mouth.
- (FBE) Give it a try. - Ooh, Toblerone.
Okay, so, fine. And then if you go i--
If you go in...
What's the difference?! It's all gonna go in your mouth.
- Uh-oh. Oh. I mean, I'm okay with this portion, but...
Okay, let's try it again. Okay, so I just want one.
Just one little piece. Oh! Look at that.
- Usually, you take one of these babies and you start
to break off this way, but then you're holding it
and you're-- see, you ended up breaking off more than you need,
and your fingers get all chocolatey, and then you do this.
But if you just take the Toblerone bar and go...
(chocolate clicks) See-- you hear that? It's good.
- Ohh! That's delightful. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let me try another one. Wait, let me try the [bleep]--
the normal way. Yeah, that's not effective.
The strange woman's way? (chocolate clicks)
Way better! - (gasps)
Wow, it just comes off like a charm.
This has totally changed my life. Thank you for sharing this with me.
I will never have to break it off with my mouth again. (chuckles)
- This is something that I would do. I've done it both ways,
inward and outward. So, if ever I feel
like having this again, I'll definitely do the thumb thing
and I will think of this moment right here.
- (FBE) If you had to pick one of these to include
in your life on the daily or whenever you eat it,
which one would you choose? - This one, hands down.
- Maybe I would do the strawberry one. - I would do the Toblerone.
- I'd probably use the Toblerone one,
'cause it's the easiest one to do. - The chicken wing one is the one
I'll probably use the most, 'cause I love me some chicken wings.
- I think it's gonna be the chicken wing,
because of the fact that I won't eat them,
because they're too much of a pain in the butt
to eat around the bone and deal with that nonsense.
That guy made it so much easier.
- Out of all of them, I did really like
the cupcake one the most. But some of these other ones
felt a little bit dumb, because they require utensils
or just something extra that is not really necessary
if you just eat it the normal way.
- (FBE) And finally, what do you think of all these so-called "right ways"
of eating food? - I think a lot of them
are kind of silly. It is cool to be able to test them out
and see for yourself whether or not they work.
- I like anything that makes life easier.
But the problem is is sometimes these videos are not--
they make you believe that it's easier,
and then you do it-- like that pineapple.
That was the joke. I don't even know what the heck that--
I don't even know how they did that. - Any of the hacks that require you
to use extra instruments, no need. I'm glad I got to try
the pineapple hack, because I was curious
as to if it worked, and it kinda doesn't.
Kinda doesn't, so... I'm glad I know now, though.
