Not a Sorted that I'd expect. This should have been on tiktok?
A regional U.S. potato chip company sell chocolate covered potato chips at Christmas time, and the are fantastic, but they are not a big blob
My roommate at college would make her ramen with margarine, not water.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mike’s Valley Girl impression was spot on.
The biggest sin is that peanut butter. Why does it look like cat food?
Painting food, pointless. Melting chocolate into Pringles, pointless, you can eat chocolate and Pringles if you really want together without melting chocolate in a tube. Social media is making us dumber.
Mike and Jamie spend several minutes trying to improve the chocolate Pringles recipe, then subsequently Mike can’t admit that he’s in fact “following fast” 😂😂
I got 1 for u put mustard on watermelon, trust me is delicious
15:09 I actually believe these are children, not nachos actually Jamie. Easy mistake to make. Hope you didn't eat them.
“It’s scummy but I like it” is my new common phrase.
I feel like a flat, wide plate would work so much better for the cream cheese art. It's basically the extreme end of the sauce smears chefs already do.
Poutine is not a dish either; it’s what’s scraped off dishes and found in a bin at the end of the night.
12:35 Chocolate Hassleback Pringles. 🤣
Use DARK chocolate with plain Pringles. 😊
Pringles Chocolate LAWG. I am now very seriously craving that. … I may not resist much longer. I'd probably let it set in the freezer for at least a few hours. Salt + Crisp + Chocolate = What's not to love?
I would just put a bit of heavy cream on the ramen. That would keep it hotter.
ice cream ramen, is just food waste…..nothing worth following here.. but it seems like that's how most things on TikTok are.. they exist mostly to get the views, not actually inform anyone of anything..
That first one with the canvas made me so irrationally angry, I don't understand. If someone gave it to me, sure, fun presentation for food, why not. Doing it myself? I'd just eat the cheese straight, I'm not painting anything.
I think a spicy Pringle would work with the chocolate
2:41 you’re welcome, YouTube. Michael: spot-on-American. 👌🏻
anyone else think at the end there Jamie was gonna say "now can you guess which one was the fake?" 😛
The "Basque Nachos" are really just a twist on migas.
I feel like a bread or a large cracker would be more appealing as a canvas
Loved hearing all the old music
Also, the art one could have flavoured cream cheese instead of just plain.
"I don't want to!" Had me in stitches for some reason. It sounded like a cry for help, doing a project that was Pythonesque in it's absurdity.
The cheese painting pure stupidity. While the sound of people eating is truly horrible☹️☹️
I think that Kush could make the Ice Cream Ramen even better. The reason I think this is that the first thought I had on how to improve it was instead of using a traditional ice cream cone or waffle cone, what if you made a cone out of ramen noodles? And thinking that made me realize that I would totally love to see Kush improve that dish.
I went oh no Mike was a bad choice for this to omg I'm so glad they picked Mike for this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Two minutes in and we're doing "food as art," then Mike starts mixing food dye into cream cheese.
Why not basil pesto cream cheese? Roasted red pepper cream cheese? Something where the color actually comes from an ingredient that adds flavor?
Using food coloring feels like the easiest possible solution to a challenge that should be about creativity.
Maybe that's why I've been struggling with some of the recent videos. It feels like the answer is increasingly "good enough" instead of "that's clever." I miss the extra effort and ingenuity that used to make these challenges so much fun to watch.
Could you make an edible canvas? Something like a focaccia or some form of bread or cracker?
Nice egg save
If you ever get a chance to collab with "Evan and Katelyn", you should challenge them to make their own version of that first "food art" thing. I think they could do a good job.
But if you do it at their place, check the expiration dates on all of their ingredients first.
You guys should try “Chippy Boys”. It’s like potato chip nachos but way better!
Dang… Mike really went and took a bite of the soggy waffle (cone)
The first one is just cake decorating, but in a way that is harder to eat afterwards.
The way they were riffing on Pringles and chocolate ideas really gives an idea of what research and development meetings look like at Sorted HQ. 😁
Food and Art = Fart
