- I don't think that's going to fill the third cup.
Did they cheat; did they lie?
Hey, everyone, I'm Jackie Adonisi, and today...
Wow.
(cracker crunching)
Mine might be a little thick.
I don't think that's gonna fill the third cup.
Did they cheat; did they lie?
(rattling)
I'm gonna go in.
I'm going to be trying the most ridiculous
food TikTok hacks.
I don't know if you saw our first video on this,
but we were actually pleasantly surprised
to see how many of them actually do work.
- Life is (beep) changed.
- It worked!
- And work very well.
I find hacks on there that actually are very useful,
so let's see how these six today stack up.
Let's go.
(chill music)
For the very first hack, I picked the cereal box hack,
and the reason why I was so interested in this one
is because, low key, it reminded me of my sister.
Back in the day, she used to eat bowls of cereal.
So when I saw this, I was like, "Oh, that's convenient.
Instead of her having to use a whole bowl,
she could use the actual box."
All you're gonna need for this hack
is a box of your favorite cereal,
and then, obviously, whatever you use with your cereal,
and then scissors.
That's it; let's do this.
Okay, so I think you're just gonna put
like a little incision here.
This might be dangerous.
(cereal rattling)
There we go; that was effective.
And then we're just gonna cut all around the box.
Please be safe with this and don't puncture yourself
or cut yourself.
It smells so good!
Okay.
(cereal rattling)
It's looking like a bowl.
Then cut through the plastic.
(snipping)
Oh my gosh, it smells so freaking good!
Wow.
I just used half of that carton.
Let's try a bite.
(crunching)
(noise of satisfaction)
Yo, Cinnamon Toast Crunch never fails you.
It's one of the best cereals of all time.
- Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!
- Fight me.
This is super efficient if you can eat
a whole box of cereal in one setting,
or if you want to share it with someone.
I honestly think I'm could eat this whole thing.
Not even gonna lie.
- [Male Voice] You ever wonder why these crackers
have these ridges on them?
They are to cut your cheese.
Look at that, perfect size --
- So the next hack that I picked
was the Ritz cracker and cheese hack.
Essentially, you're supposed to use the Ritz cracker
to cut the cheese in half.
I don't think I'll ever use this hack on a day to day basis,
but it just...
It was more intriguing than anything.
So what you're gonna need is Ritz crackers, of course,
and then your favorite, you know, slice of cheese.
Mine is Muenstera.
I never know if I'm saying that right.
Muenster, Muenster cheese.
So let's get our Ritz cracker.
It has this ridge edge right here
that's supposed to cut the cheese.
I got a cutting board to make it super official.
Here goes nothing.
I hope it's focused.
(cracker crunching)
Wow.
It's amazing.
It really works; can you guys see that?
Incredible!
Cracker.
Cheese.
(crunching)
I'm not mad at it.
Let's be honest, it's a lot more simple
just to literally fold it in half.
And cut open like that.
It's fun, and I think it'll be a cool party trick
for you to pull out when you're with a group of friends,
drinking wine,
where it's crackers and Muenster cheese, you can be like,
"Look what I can do with my Ritz crackers."
So does it work; yes.
Will I use it again; probably not.
It's a lot faster just to, you know,
break your cheese in half with your hands.
(cool music)
So this next hack I chose because I love things
that you can make an under five minutes.
Convenience when it comes to food, for me, is a plus.
I make a lot of cheese quesadillas here, and this one,
you just wrap up the cheese in the tortilla
and pop it in the toaster.
I was like, "Wow, that looks very convenient
and something that I'd probably use again."
So for this one, you're just going to need
shredded cheese and very large tortillas
and then a toaster.
I'm really excited about this one,
and I really hope that it works.
My fear is that when you fold up the quesadilla
and put it in the toaster,
all the cheese is gonna fall out.
So hopefully that doesn't happen
'cause that could be a disaster.
So you just need one tortilla.
(plastic crinkling)
And then it says just to put some cheese in the middle.
Very simple, very easy.
- How easy is that?
- Some cheese; the more cheese, the better.
Okay, so you fold in half, other half,
and then you fold this in half, and then it's done.
I put too much cheese, I think.
I think it should be fine.
And then you put it in the toaster,
but mine might be a little thick.
Just take out a little bit of the cheese.
I think that's the problem; I just put too much cheese.
The more cheese, the better.
It did say in the directions of the video, "One-fourth,"
but I was like, "I love cheese more," like one fourth cup,
so it's my fault.
I wasn't following directions.
- [Nick] That cheese will not go to waste.
- So put a little less cheese then, okay, you fold -
But see, that just doesn't seem like enough cheese.
- [Nick] Just try it. - Okay.
Fold then fold and then fold in half.
Okay, so that fits.
Oh no, there's something in there on fire!
What did you leave in there?
What's on fire in there?
The cheese already?
I'm actually really excited to see if this works.
(yelping)
- [Nick] See!
(crunching)
I think it's perfectly melted.
- That was a really good food hack.
It's fast, convenient, you don't have to wash your dishes,
and it tastes like a good quesadilla, if not better.
- It's got a nice crisp on the outside.
Not too crisp though.
- That was a good hack. - I'm a fan of it.
Are we gonna make our quesadillas like this now?
I probably will.
- I don't see why not.
- So you get three drinks out of this one drink.
(background chatter)
I think it's actually gonna work.
You get, I think you get --
- [Female Voice] How you get extra?
Bro!
- Yo, we just killed the game.
- I don't know why I'm putting myself through this
because it honestly makes me super uncomfortable.
The hack is basically ordering a venti size cup at Starbucks
and ordering it without ice.
And when you order without ice,
apparently you get more coffee that fills up
three separate tall glass coffees.
I don't wanna be that person to, one,
ask for a whole large coffee without ice
because you know why people are asking that; they want more,
which I guess shouldn't be bad that they want more,
but it just makes me uncomfortable, okay?
And then to have to ask for three cups of ice
makes me just cringe.
I decided last minute that I'm actually
gonna get two ventis, one with ice, one without,
so that we can compare the difference
on how much more you get.
It also it makes me feel less cringe
if I order one with ice.
Can I please get a venti iced vanilla coffee?
- [Drive-Thru Worker] All right.
- And then can I also get the exact same thing,
another one, but without any ice?
- [Drive-Thru Worker] That's all?
- Awesome, thank you.
And is there any way that I could get three cups of ice?
Like just your regular grande cup full of ice?
If I need to be charged, that's totally okay.
- [Drive-Thru Worker] $6.90 at the window.
- Thank you.
(silence)
- That wasn't that bad, babe.
You did good.
- It wasn't that bad.
- Thank you very much.
Perfect.
- Thank you!
- It looks like they nailed it.
- So I'm back at home, and that wasn't as bad as I thought.
I ordered one without ice.
They kind of just skipped me a little bit.
They didn't feel it all the way to the top.
And then I ordered one with ice.
I'm gonna pour this one in.
Thank you, my assistant here.
Let's just see how many it fills,
if it actually does line up to what they did in the TikTok.
First cup.
(pouring)
This smells so good.
One cup.
Assistant, thank you, thank you.
(pouring)
Two cups.
I don't think that's gonna fill the third cup.
- [Nick] I don't think so either.
- Oh, what did they do in their video?
Did they cheat; did they lie?
Was it thicker consistency?
- [Nick] Ooh!
- Almost!
- It might have been that little bit
they cheated you at the top.
(laughing)
So it doesn't fill all three cups,
but, I mean, the little bit that they didn't put
all the way to the top could have filled up this bad boy.
- Yeah, I think so.
- Okay, so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pour
this, you know, one with ice into here
and see how much it fills up.
(pouring)
Please don't break open; that would be so tragic.
- It'd be funny if we got it on film, though.
- My fingers are freezing, hold on.
- It can't be that cold.
- It's cold.
I mean, it is a lot, but --
- Still significantly less.
Would you not send it back and be like,
"All right, guys, this is not a venti;
this is a three quarter grande!"
- It's at least a good like five gulps.
- Do you want a little bit more coffee?
Get it without ice.
Get your own ice and toss it in.
You got to it two and three quarter cups
out of that venti, large.
And yeah, I don't know.
I think it's a pretty good one.
- It's a good hack.
You get a little bit more for your money.
(lo-fi music)
Now onto desserts.
I picked this hack because we all love and grew up
with popcorn, and one of the best memories of my life
was making popcorn at home with my mom.
And when I saw this,
I thought it was such a cool little spin.
You put some candy in it, and you spice it up a little bit.
So I'm curious, one, how it's going to taste.
Skittles and popcorn mixed together.
Is it going to add a fun pop of flavor,
or is it gonna be this sticky mess
that kind of makes the popcorn soggy?
This one I'm a little skeptical about,
because I just don't know how the texture of the popcorn
is gonna turn out.
All you're going to need for this one
are popcorn kernels and some Skittles.
(rattling)
I think they soaked the Skittles in olive oil first.
Okay.
Oh, I think that's for sure what they did.
That looks about right.
I don't know.
Oh, it smells good.
I think that's fine.
I'm gonna go ahead and turn this to medium.
All right, you ready?
I'm gonna pour this in.
(Skittle clattering)
I think one bag should be enough,
but I'm just gonna put a little bit more.
(kernels clattering)
Okay, top it off.
And I think that's pretty much it.
Now we're just gonna wait for it to pop.
It smells fantastic; it literally smells
like Fruity Pebbles, you guys.
(popping)
- [Nick] It does smell good.
- Do you see this?
Skittles, juicy goodness. - [Nick] Taste the rainbow!
- You guys, this smells like Fruity Pebbles.
It smells so delightful, so sweet,
and, from the looks of it,
the texture is like normal popcorn,
which I was kind of afraid for -
Layla!
Can you please lay down?
Thank you.
Sheesh.
Let's try it.
Woo.
(crunching)
(noise of uncertainty)
It's kind of a tart sweet taste to it.
It's not sweet popcorn.
(crunching)
You guys, honestly, it doesn't even taste like Skittles.
It tastes like Fruity Pebbles, which is so strange.
I'm not a huge fan of the flavor, to be honest;
it's really tart to me.
I wish it was a little bit more sweet.
It actually has like a weird flavor.
I think I need a second opinion.
Nick, I'm so sorry.
Can you come try this?
Will you try this?
It works, but the sweetness is a little tart for me.
(crunching)
- I don't think it's that bad.
I'm not a huge regular popcorn fan
because it's like so bland sometimes.
I think popcorn is really bland.
This gives it a little bit of flavor for me.
I'm actually not mad at it at all.
- You're not allowed to be in this video anymore.
You just said popcorn's bland.
Get out of here.
You just said popcorn's --
- Hey, look, this is my truth.
- All in all, I'm really very pleased with this.
It really does work.
The Skittles covered most of the popcorn.
I would definitely try using maybe a different kind of candy
or chocolate to cover your popcorn.
The Skittle flavor wasn't my cup of tea,
but my husband liked it,
and maybe you'll like it.
- I'm gonna show you how to make
the ultimate ice cream cookie sandwich
using the cutting of ice cream method.
Slice off a half inch trunk!
Check this out.
Got two homemade cookies.
Perfectly shaped ice cream on top of cookie,
topped with another cookie, and bam!
Sprinkles.
Let's give it a try.
The ultimate summer snack hack;
click the plus bar for more recipes.
- I had to save the best for last.
One of my favorite desserts, a classic ice cream sandwich.
Yum!
I picked this hack because it looked interesting,
to be completely honest.
And it looked like a fun thing to try.
One of my favorite desserts ever
is the chocolate chip cookie,
and if you add ice cream to that?
Oh my gosh, perfection.
So I was really excited when I saw this.
What you're gonna need is a pint of ice cream,
Ben and Jerry's preferably because they're awesome,
and they have the best ice cream flavors,
and they're for the cause.
And then you're going to need two chocolate chip cookies,
whether you want to bake that on your own
or buy two already made chocolate chip cookies,
that's what you're gonna need.
And for an extra added bonus, for fun, sprinkles.
I honestly don't understand sprinkles.
I don't really care for sprinkles, how they taste.
I don't see the point in them actually, but they're fun.
So I took my ice cream pint out of the freezer
for a little bit, just so it would be easier to cut,
but we're literally about to cut the pint.
Oh, and by the way, I got American Dream.
It's one of my favorites; it's so good.
If you haven't had it, try it.
I'm gonna go in!
Oh no.
(cutting)
(screaming)
It's coming out!
Maybe you do...
(cutting)
Leave it in the freezer.
I think maybe that was my mistake.
Oh no.
No, this was supposed to work!
I thought I was being effective
by taking it out of the freezer,
so it would be easy to cut.
But...
- I think you have to keep it frozen,
so it stays in a block, so when you cut it,
you get the perfect square for your chocolate chip cookie,
but I'm just gonna finish this off...
And just cut that.
(sad music)
There we go.
- I'm really disappointed, you guys.
Dang, I really messed that one up.
There we go.
(sprinkles crunching)
Well, I'm highly discouraged in this,
but it's my fault.
There's no one else to blame.
This still is going to be a very delicious
ice cream sandwich.
It just isn't perfectly cut out how I anticipated
because I let it thaw out, which is my fault.
So this hack would work if you just
leave your ice cream to be.
I'm gonna take a bite now.
I'm really sad that I did this to myself.
(crunching)
Still a very good ice cream sandwich.
All right, you guys, that was all six hacks,
and I have to say, I feel like today was very successful.
There was only one unsuccessful one,
and that was the tragic ice cream sandwich.
Oh no.
And it wasn't the hack's fault;
it was my fault for taking the ice cream out
and letting it thaw out.
Definitely did not think that one through.
But let me know which hack was your favorite
in the comments section below
and which one you're going to try,
and then make sure you like this video and subscribe,
and we'll see you next time, bye!
