Two and a half years ago I did a video where I talked about pro tips for eating food.
We covered apples, oranges, eggs, chicken wings and even cake.
Its been so long since I made that video that I had forgotten most of the things on that
list - I reccomend you guys go and check it out, it was a very popular video and we thought
- why don't we do an update, why don't we find some more - theres no reason not too
- so here we go, Im Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Foods Youre Eating Wrong - Part
2.
Starting off at number 10 now we have Burgers[a].
For many people, the burger is already perfect, there is nothing that can be done to improve
it.
That may be true - but how you eat it could make things even better.
One of the things people always seem to complain about with burgers is that they get too soggy.
Nothing is worse than a soggy burger - sometimes even not having a burger at all is better
than having a soggy burger.
One simple way that people get around this is to just flip their burger upside down - the
top bun is usually thicker than the bottom which - that means it will absorb more of
the juice and not be as soggy.
The burger wont fall apart as easily which means you can enjoy it as it was always meant
to be eaten.
If someone laughs you for having an upside down burger - ignore them - youll be laughing
on the inside.
Moving on to number 9 we have we have Watermelon[b].
Its possibly one the best fruit to have in the summer, its juicy, its sweet, its refreshing
- but it can be sticky.
And theres nothing worse on a hot and sticky day than getting sticky from a watermelon.
Every time someone cuts it, its always in a crescent shape that is great to hold but
you always get watermelon juice all over your face.
Maybe some more than others.
Its been suggested that the best way to serve watermelon is to cut them into long pieces
- its a lot easier to eat, theres no more mess and literally no downside to watermelons
now at all, ever, watermelons are no perfect.
Moving on to number 8 we have Chinese Food[c].
Even just saying those words makes me want to order Chinese tonight - hnngh.
Anyway, whether youre taking out or ordering to your home - Chinese food often comes in
little takeaway boxes - some people use them in an interesting way though.
When they have them in their home, they split the box open to use it as a plate.
Now, the first thing to remember is that you should NOT do this if youre Chinese meal has
a lot of liquid in it.
Most plates curve up at the edges which means you can have a little bit of liquid on them
- these boxes don't really have that though so there is a risk of it just spilling out.
If its just fairly dry noodles though - give this a try - it will save you time and washing
up.
At the number 7 spot now we have Pizza[d].
Now, nobody is arguing that theres a better way to eat pizza than to just pick it up and
eat it - thats fine, we can all agree on that.
Some people like to debate though about leftover pizza - pizza that you go to eat the next
day.
Do you eat it cold or reheat it?
If youre one of the people who choose to reheat it, youve probably run into the problem of
soggy, floppy pizza thats really greasy and oily - well, ditch the microwave - although
its perfect for reheating many things - its not the best when it comes to pizza apparently.
They say you should reheat it in a skillet or pan on top of a stove - this will keep
the crust nice and crispy and melt the toppings to perfection.
Mwah.
Perfect.
Moving on to number 6 we have Peas.
Peas are amazing but as long as there have been peas - people have been chasing them
around on their plate with a fork.
Those last 2 or 3 peas feel like they take as long to pin down as the rest of them put
together.
Well, as long as youre OK with playing with your food - some people say the best way to
eat pease - is to mash them.
Instead of chasing them round and trying to spear them - just crush the peas into a pulp
- forks are very good at picking up pulp.
This is the end of the war on peas - weve won.
If youre a pea whos watching this, you should be scared.
Weve finally figured out how to eat each and every one of you …
Next up at number 5 we have Tacos[e].
Tacos are amazing.
What is there not to love about them?
The filling is always delicious - I love the crunchy taco shell - Id say the only downside
though is the shell can sometimes crack and the fillings fall out - well, some people
online have suggested wrapping lettuce around the the taco so that if some filling falls
out, youre not gonna lose it.
If you don't like lettuce, just scoopy the filling out when youre done - if you do like
lettuce, you could just eat the whole thing.
Its a win win win win win, win win, win.
At the number 4 now we have Cookies.
This one is good for anyone who loves cookies but hates it when they get too hard.
You have two options here - you can either stuff your face with them to make sure there
are no leftovers or - you can put them in a bag with bread.
Hear me out.
Take the cookies and put them in a bag or a container - then put a single slice of bread
in there with them - then seal it up.
The bread will use its moisture more quickly than the cookies which will allow them to
stay soft for longer than they normally once.
Once that bread dries out, user another slice.
Obviously you cant just keep doing this forever - youd also spend a lot on bread - but it
will extend the shelf life of cookies to more than a week!
Moving on to number 3 we have Toast.
You may think this video is going too far now - how can anyone eat toast wrong.
Well, youre right, its very difficult to mess up toasted bread.
This is a quality of life improvement though - next time you eat toast, try eating it upside
down - your taste buds will come into contact with whatever you put onto your toast, giving
it instant flavour.
Personally, I don't mind eating it normally and waiting a few seconds to get the full
flavour - but if youre really impatient, trying eating it this way.
Maybe youll be pleasantly surprised.
Don't try it with something that can easily fall off though.
Otherwise you have to lick ot off the floor.
Sorry guys, thats just the rules - I didnt make them up …
Moving onto number 2 we have Ketchup.
This one comes from Minq.com - they shared this one that actually seems really obvious.
If youre always struggling to open up those little packets of ketchup - there is another
way.
They have an option to tear the corner off which is what people mostly do - but if youre
able to cut the whole top off - always do that.
Some people then use the whole packet to dip their fries in - they can stick them right
in there, its not messy and they can get every last bit of ketchup.
Pretty clever stuff - of course, you may need to actually have a pair of scissors on hand
- but lets just ignore that for now.
And finally at number 1 we have Mangos.
I love Mangos.
I think I would eat them more and other people would eat them more if they were a little
bit easier to scoop out.
Don't get me wrong - its not a big hassle - but you still have to do a bit of scooping
and it can be difficult to get every last bit scooped out.
Well, some people online have shared their ingenious solution.
Cut the fruit in half and slide each side down the side of an 8 oz glass - the inside
will perfectly slide out and give you a perfet portion of the mango flesh - and - any of
the juice will collect in the actually glass which means its an easy clean up as well!
Alright guys weve got time for a few comments now.
These came from my Strangest Last Words video.
It got a lot of response from you guys.
Tiffany Benefield said -I think the French Fries was hilarious.
Its sad he did what he did to die.
My favorite was the 2 brothers playing tag- … yeah so for those of you guys who havent
watched video - go and check it - I talked about a guy who was being executed in the
electric chair in America for murder.
His name was French and when he was asked for his last words he told them to tell the
newspapers that the headline should be -French Fries- … because of the electric chair - I
mean, thats pretty dark but yeah, I threw it in there because its kinda funny but also
kinda creepy which is a really weird mix of emotions.
The other one that Tiffany mentioned was about the two brothers who had been playing the
longest game of tag for their whole lives.
When one of the brothers was on his deathbed, he called his brother over and whispered in
his ear, his final words were -youre it- and then he died.
His brother had officially lost the game as he couldn't tag him back.
Thats another one that funny but also a bit sad.
So many mixed emotions in these videos!
Also, when I was talking about the French Fries one, I referred to that comment as shocking
- a lot of you guys said that you saw my pun - shocking - electric chair - but honestly,
I didnt mean to make that joke.
I really didnt.
I didnt even know what you guys were talking about until I went back and watched the video.
Maybe it was my subconscious that was making the joke?
Im not sure.
Perhaps my subconscious is actually funny.
Don't forget to leave your comments and questions on this video if you want to appear in this
segment in a future video, until then, thanks for watching as always guys, my name is Danny
Burke and Ill see you all in the next video!
