Im mexican, and my abuelita can make a kilo of tortillas from scratch in less than 10 minutes at her kitchen, fast, easy, cheap, healthy and actually better than any tortilla sold at a supermarket.
I have a couple of half-white half-Mexican friends that are the same way. If it's a Spanish word, their accent goes latin for that word and maybe the next couple.
If it were a Colombian accent then her LL would sound more like a soft J than a Y. It doesn't sound very Mexican, but I'm Spanish so my idea of the Mexican accent is pretty fucked.
Bro, this is nothing like a bread machine. A bread machine lets you use your own recipes. From cakes to raisin bread, pumpernickel, rye, sourdough, and good old white bread. A bread machine lets you be creative and have fun. Flatev is for people who don't cook, bread machines are for people who do. There's a huge difference. Sincerely, A Bread Machine Fanboy.
it's true though, a bread machine can be great for specialty bread (aka not white, wholegrain or multigrain). fancy bread can be rather expensive, but the ingredients can be cheaply bought. obviously a bread machine isn't for everyone and yeah there was a fad where everyone had one because it was a fancy new kitchen gadget, but for those who have the inclination, a bread machine takes a lot of the work out of making a nice loaf. plus it means you get to eat it freshly cooked, something you can't really get unless you buy your bread from the bakery as soon as they open and get it home quick. my mum used to have one and although we didn't use it for our everyday bread as it was far too difficult to slice thinly enough, it was great for having a nice tasty, thick slice of bread fresh from the maker with butter on top as a treat. ours could also make pizza dough and doughnut dough, as they both need time to rise
I agree with you. I'm willing to make my life more difficult, because it's gotten too easy. Some people go to the gym, some decide to make their own bread. I liked my microwave/convection oven/bread maker until it broke about 20 months into its use. The manufacturer no longer makes them, I got money instead and went back to my 17 year old microwave. These stupid single-use machines though...
I use my bread machine pretty regularly too! As long as you’re making something that isn’t too complex, it turns out pretty much the same as if you were to make it without the machine since all it really does is automate the tedious kneeding process. And the components for bread are super cheap (flour, water, yeast) so it’s nothing like buying expensive disposable pods. It’s kinda silly and a little less convenient than buying store-bought bread but I really like having that bread smell in my house and having warm bread ready for me.
I swear I don't get whats in peoples heads when they do this shit. A friend of mine did the same kind of shit when we vacationed in Japan and went to random Japanese women taking selfies with them =="
saifis I'm curious, how common of an occurrence does something like that actually happen? and do shit like this cause negative stereotypes of foreigners?
It's also huge for a single use item, I mean couldn't they expand it to pizza bases or even some kind of pasta or crisp bread? and those pods 79 cents, but you'll never see them in stores, Amazon will only stock them if it becomes popular, so you're stuck buying packs of 10+ and stupid shipping prices on top from their own website. In the end people will just hack the pods and put their own dough in, like you see with Nespresso/Tassimo coffee machines.
if the pods were refillable, or they worked like the sodastream that might have been pretty neat. I make tortillas at home now and then, and I do admit, it can be hard. If it worked in a way that let you refill/use your own dough/just pour in the ingredients, i'd be okay with it. plus it doesn't make flour tortillas so it's instantly weaker, because that cuts out half of the market of people who like tortillas.
Lamron Jr It's just a case of resealing the lids really, there's no barcodes on the pods Etc. to tell it to cook each dough differently. and I doubt there's any security from using third party dough pods.
There's plenty of other large single-use kitchen appliances, like waffle makers and coffee makers. My biggest concern is that the tortillas are so small. This could be a useful maker for many types of flatbreads if you could make it bigger than a silver dollar. It's also awfully expensive for a one-purpose gadget.
ok what the fuck. i live in australia, which is sort of like the uk except the weather is the opposite and everything tries to kill you and i've never seen anyone going around town trying to kiss random people..... pretty sure that's creepy no matter where the hell you go
suda phedz make sure to take a keurig, too. And any kind of snack or sweets package where each individual snack is wrapped in plastic, but then they're all also inside of a box or bag.
I wouldn't say I took his market. There's plenty of room for both of us. I know I'll watch his Kickstarter Crap videos even if they're few and far between now. He has his own style and I have my own so it's not a direct copy but I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of overlap with my subs. I wish he did more of his old videos but I'm just happy to contribute to content people enjoy.
I think it's a shame that idubbbz stopped making those videos. He was really talented at it, and the videos were really entertaining. It's sad to see a good series essentially die.
Well, I just revisited the Kickstarter campaign page, and - surprise, surprise - it seems Flatearth has _still_ not shipped. To quote _slightly_ frustrated backer Paul Shumway: "I ordered this for my then wife. The time from my divorce to this date (November 18, 2019) is now longer than the time from my order until we divorced. Thanks Flatev. I'm still waiting on your promises. She didn't keep hers and I don't see you keeping yours."
This might be one of the funniest RUclips comments I've ever seen! I checked on Flatev a few months ago and it seems like their current strategy is to sell these things in hotels and offices, kinda like how the coffee machines these were inspired by started off as. Also they're probably bankrupt.
Lol, my dad has a breadmaker and my family literally hasn't had store-bought bread anymore, since I was seven! He makes it all in the breadmaker. Sure, I guess it's less convenient, but it tastes SO much better, and that's really the appeal.
Dang dude, just found your stuff and everything is good! I can't believe how much effort and thought you put into your stuff. Also, one thing I wanted to mention, making your own tortillas is actually cheap and takes less than 90 seconds to cook. You make the corn and water mixture, and press it in a cast iron plate, and then throw it in the pan. Once you have the mix made, you can cook one every like 30 seconds.
Thank you for your compliments, it encourages me to make more! I've actually never made tortillas from scratch because I'm useless in the kitchen. I think I'll take a swing at it someday, maybe if I can find a good recipe for those chile flavored ones.
StopDrop&Retro Nobody eats chile flavored tortillas! Use normal tortillas and make a salsa taco like a normal person! Or make some enchiladas or chilaquiles. jk I guess you could add dried chile to the normal recipie.
I disagree with the last part. People do want to make their own things, I mean to this day people still bake. But it's got to be somewhat cost effective to do so, you can make a cake for a lot cheaper. The only way you can get cheaper bought is if you get a really shitty cheap one. Something like the flatev fails to do that though and the person doesn't really get to make anything cause it is all automated
I rarely eat bread, but sometimes I do crave it. The raw ingredients of bread keeps for much longer as well, where as if I bought bread, it tends to just go moldy before I could finish it - so I end up wasting food. So I learned to make my own bread- enough for what I eat, its tasty, less waste, cheap, your house end up smelling so goddamn good and the kneading is relaxing af. On top of that the ingredients that goes into bread is usually what you already have in the kitchen anyways. : p
Actually, from an engineering standpoint, this machine is quite nice, really. And it's totally understandable that it takes 90 seconds, but this is just too long for a consumer product. Also the price is absolutely nuts.
I agree making your own bread, tortillas, whatever, is not a problem, and is not regression. However, you hit the nail on the head in terms of the real problem, while the video only hints at it. Some people like to buy things to save time and/or stay hands-off, some people like to make things to save money and/or be hands-on, and some people like to take harder options to be environmentally friendly. Nobody likes to buy things to waste money, waste time, be hands-off, and pollute like it's going out of style.
Big Green I'm actually writing this with a burned finger from turning flatbreads in my iron skillet while watching this video on my phone lol! I make my own sourdough bread and tortillas e.g. and since I do that I can appreciate food a lot more. Because I put actual work into the making, I love kneading dough. And it's very cheap.
Make your own break? Did you grow your own wheat? Did you grind your own flour? Did you dig your own rock salt? Did you synthesized your own baking soda?
Cultural appropriation / DRM protected tortillas / and a Mac G4 clone case that takes up half of your counter space. Sounds like a good idea!!! Btw I love my bread maker!! :)
Thanks to Flatev we now have "DRM protected tortillas" we are already living in a dystopia. Bring on the kitchen Soylent Green processor and invite grandma over while you're at it.
Hey now, don't go shitting on bread makers. Still end-up cheaper than store bought and nothing tastes better than a fresh loaf you made yourself. Also works great for making pizza dough...
Seriously I looked up this video on my phone after watching it on my Xbox just to say this. God damn I'd love some of my mom's fresh bread maker bread right now. So freaking good!
It´s nothing bad about bread makers, but as soon as you recognize how easy (and in my meaning, more tasty than out the breadmaker) it is to make own brad, just out of the kitchen oven, you see, how needless the bread maker is (although it´s better to eat bread out of this machine, than industrial bread).
If you have the celiac disease and can't eat normal bread, bread makers are a godsend. I don't know why he's complaining about them. Where I live, the special gluten-free bread is expensive and only available in specialized stores. It's cheaper and more convenient to just make it at home.
Now, I can see how a translation machine would be helpful if you're abroad in another country, but only for certain, matter-of-fact questions and statements, like ordering at a restaurant.a Also, I wish that pitch lady would decide whether she's from Mexico or northern California.
What's wrong with you? Your suggesting the waitress take the earphone in her ear and sit for some chat? First off they're busy, second nobody would want to have others used greasy earphones in their ears
That needless prototype redesign was a huge red flag. The first one looked like a really nice minimum viable product. Cheap, quick and easy to manufacture, get it in the hands of customers. The second one is needlessly complex and expensive just for the sake of vanity, much like the juicero. I'll bet the molding for it cost a TON, and don't even get me started on packaging and shipping this damned thing.
I noticed each time she put a different pod in the machine, she put it in a different direction. Not an expert on this KickStarter, but wouldn't the slot be a one-way deal? Like the working prototype? I'd go as far as to say the "Mexican architecture and textile" inspired machine they're advertising doesn't operate yet.
I kinda want the translator thing. It would make a great icebreaker at work. "Hey, check this shit out! Watch me speak in terrible Portuguese!" And then they want to use it. Also, I'd go to Greenpeace conferences in my Hummer H1, then show off its kickass biodiesel conversion.
There's translation apps you can get on your phone that do the same thing. I have Vocre and it has a translator that turns your American English into an old English man. Pretty dope.
wouldn't it make more sense to have a water input/reservoir like keurig so they could store more flour in a pod and possibly make multiple tortillas per pod rather than waste space in the pod for water?
Microwave is gross, get that shit on a dry cast iron or nonstick pan. It'll take a tiny bit longer, but just put your stove on full blast, don't even need a spatula; just put your finger on it, Bing it to the edge, pinch and flip. Makes a world of difference.
@@cristian2452 6 years later and a dollar for 30 tortillas sounds about right even today and in the US, no less. I don't understand how anyone could think this product would have made any sense.
someday I will harness the power to make banana bread... until then I am a slave to the Hawaiian guy who comes by the office every few weeks to sell his.
just found out these guys are swiss, and their "headquater" is not that far away from me, so if you ever want to make a follow up, hit me up and i'm gonna ask some questions for you there
My mom bought me an air fryer just for kicks. It was like $70 and I'm having fun with it with fries, chicken drumsticks and pork chops. This thing costs $300+ to cook only one type of food and needs to have specific manufactured food ingredients for it
Idk, man. I do love using my breadmaker. Can make bread just the way I want it, and it's less about a third of the price of a store-bought one. (note: I'm not from the States)
It doesn't even make regular sized tortillas, it's those stupid small ones lol. You'd think with those dumb pods it would know if it was making corn or flour, but nah. Must of been too expensive to add to the machine.
yea like, 5 min for the dough and takes less then 90 sec to fry in the pan xD theres no way to justify paying all that cash,tho there are tortilla cast iron molds that shape your tortillas so you dont have to roll them
Bruno Novello they are trying to capitalize on the same lazy idiots who buy a keurig and over pay for pods that can't be recycled......(and probably not good for your to drink something that came from plastic that's hot)
Dude I love your channel, for real men, you point out SO much stuff wrong with these ideas, it's not just "this idea is bad it works bad" you point out how much it is worth, if it is ecologically correct(i really don't know if that term exists in English), you show alot other perspectives and give ideas, I don't care that I wasted 16 minutes of my life watching a review of a idea, it was worth because it was very informative in every way possible, and you're pretty funny. Your channel is not just an ordinary Chinese review products. Congratulations my man, and keep it up with your good work.
Thanks! I do try to find a unique angle to analyze these projects from. I know there are others who do Kickstarter analysis/criticisms but I feel they go wrong when all they do is complain about what they see on screen and not going any further. Thanks for watching! I should have another soon
StopDrop&Retro Well done, another thing I appreciate in you is your wide knowledge in everything, hablas a bit of espanol, knows games, a bit hardware stuff, and it goes on ( you even knew about brazilian rip offs videogames). It is hard to find a reviewer like this nowdays. Anyway my man, peace, and thank you for giving such entertainment.
Man you really deserved more subs and views... when I ended the video I though you had like 1-2milion subs then i see only 3k -.- really dude keep it going you are great
Thanks! I'm getting a lot of support this past week, I've seen the sub numbers jump! I don't know why but I'll keep doing what I do and success will find me (I hope...)
Why are you wishing for such a disaster? Haven't you noticed that 99% of youtube channels become shit when they get 100 000 subscribers? It's one of youtube's most well-known curse. Everytime I see a channel I like I wish them to never find success, or I wish them to make it past the curse without any degradation in content quality which is rare but is possible.
I subscribed after this video. Quality stuff. I'll even forgive you for tarnishing the nostalgic memory of loving my mom's homemade bread from a 'bread maker'
So, I decided to see if this thing ever even shipped. NOPE. No update since April 2019 on KS. Apparently, the CEO of the company is now a trainer of sorts to teach people how to start and run startup companies. Their website is still up but there is no information on what is going on. Even checking out their page, it looks like the security has not been updated either which tells me the site is close to be abandoned soon with a 404 eventually. Their last communication on Facebook was May 2019. The project has been dead for now two years, and it seems like its 100% dead. It's weird because up until 2019, they had updates and even showing pictures of people using the product, so it does (or did) exist. But once 2018 rolled in, the updates were made private to backers only and then just stopped. I'm guessing they either ran out of money or ran away with the money. I'm assuming both, they ran with what was left.
If you check out the kickstarter today, you will see in the comments section a lot of concerned backers and many who are claiming the creators took their money and ran. Not sure why anyone would even be excited about such a huge waste of space. Toasters and coffee makers come smaller than that bloated mess.
The problem with bread makers and the flatev is that if you have a oven and a stove then you can just make your own tortillas and bread neither is difficult to make at all
Where do the pod remains go? Is there a mini trash can built in? Does it mash the plastic pod into the finished product? Does it have a "pod trash can full" sensor? so many questions in need of answers!
I just had a quick look, and you can buy a tortilla press for like 20 bucks. That allows you to make fresh, healthy food without paying through the nose for it. Though of course it doesn't look as hip as a coffee machine for tortillas.
I absolutely love homemade tortillas let me tell you something you don't make tortillas out of "flour and water" you use oil you use salt to use baking powder and the ones that are rolled thinner or significantly better than the thicker ones I think the reason they're using flour and water instead of an actual tortilla recipe is because oil would separate unless you add preservatives and then you can't claim that your crap is "organic"
I have a feeling there is more in there than just 'flour and water' but they're keeping mum about it to not scare people off who want things to be so strict with their ingredients.
Also (I know this is an older video, but I'm binge watching you since the robot video), all the tortillas are the same size. So you don't have the option of burrito-sized, and taco-sized and something better for fajitas. Corn tortillas can be a little tricky to make, but flour? They're super-simple, and I'm whiter than standard notebook paper.
Yeah, the inability to make burrito size tortillas would be a deal killer for me if I were ever close to being suckered by this. I also didn't have time to include it but in some of the pictures of the tortillas taken by testers on third party sites, they look fucking terrible see- gizmodo.com/a-keurig-machine-for-tortillas-repeat-a-keurig-machin-1583155431
Its 3 yrs later and I was in japan just a while ago and.... That device from 0:40, they have it and use it everywhere, shops, restaurants, train stations, its quite quick and snappy and also have text display. It helped me as a tourist to communicate with japanese people and they were the ones who were using it on me.
Actually, I think if the Japanese translator thing works that well, they should sell to fucking google. Machine-translating English into correct Japanese automatically is pretty fucking hard, not only due to the entirely different structure, but also due to the omission of non-essential sentence parts in Japanese.
In terms of baking own bread, I don't think, this should be named as something silly. My wife bake our own bread every second weekend (just out of salt, flour, yeast and water) for to use one third directly the following days (this kind of bread stays enjoyable much longer than industrial bread), the rest goes to the deep freezer for to use the last of the time fresh, portion after portion. But we use just the oven for it, I also think, this bread is better than these, coming out of bread baking machines. And a oven is something, most of the people have already in their kitchen, and no more technical junk is needed. Beside of that: I love your videos, thank you for them! Subscribed for your channel!
Thanks! And yeah, others have commented that making your own bread is easy, which I agree with. I similarly agree that making your own tortillas at home is easy and you don't need an expensive and complicated machine to do it (same with making bread at home). So I like industrial bread/tortilla making as well as home made stuff, but given those two options I don't see the need for dedicated machines to fill a gap in between.
0.79 US dollars are aproximately 13 Mexican pesos, 1 kilogram of tortillas (2 pounds or 22 tortillas aproximately ) is worth 20 pesos at the time I'm writting this They genuinely tried to sell one (1) fucking tortilla at almost the price of 22 💀

I like how her accent goes through the roof but only when pronouncing the word "tortilla"
I swear there are people in my city who act just like this.
She skips the ll from tortilla. She only says tortia for some reason.
Mngalahad She says Torrrtia
Oh what? No love for QUAN?
@@Mngalahad you don’t pronounce the ll in tortilla
Whenever Flatev lady says "tortilla", her accent turns Mexican for the next 5 words, but then returns to her American accent. She's like a robot.
It's more like her accent turns Mexican 2 words before and 3 words after. She frames the tortilla with accent so you know the machine is legit.
She actually doesn't pronounce right. She says "TOR-TEE-A" instead of "TOR-TEE-JAH". I really doubt she's fluent in spanish.
lol yea
I have a couple of half-white half-Mexican friends that are the same way. If it's a Spanish word, their accent goes latin for that word and maybe the next couple.
As a 100% authentic spaniard, if I say TOR-TEE-A instead of TOR-TEE-JAH I'd be deported to a country where they eat roaches for breakfast.
That girl's spanish accent is more inconsistent than my GPA.
HAHAHAHAA!! Okay, you made me laugh pretty hard
sad thing is her accent is still more consistent than my GPA
LOL
I love how she says "tortilla" in a Colombian accent
If it were a Colombian accent then her LL would sound more like a soft J than a Y. It doesn't sound very Mexican, but I'm Spanish so my idea of the Mexican accent is pretty fucked.

This might be one of the funniest RUclips comments I've ever seen! I checked on Flatev a few months ago and it seems like their current strategy is to sell these things in hotels and offices, kinda like how the coffee machines these were inspired by started off as. Also they're probably bankrupt.

Bread makers are cool. This flatev is fucking futile and pointless
Dang dude, just found your stuff and everything is good! I can't believe how much effort and thought you put into your stuff. Also, one thing I wanted to mention, making your own tortillas is actually cheap and takes less than 90 seconds to cook. You make the corn and water mixture, and press it in a cast iron plate, and then throw it in the pan. Once you have the mix made, you can cook one every like 30 seconds.
Thank you for your compliments, it encourages me to make more! I've actually never made tortillas from scratch because I'm useless in the kitchen. I think I'll take a swing at it someday, maybe if I can find a good recipe for those chile flavored ones.
StopDrop&Retro
Nobody eats chile flavored tortillas! Use normal tortillas and make a salsa taco like a normal person! Or make some enchiladas or chilaquiles.
jk I guess you could add dried chile to the normal recipie.
This was almost 7 years ago and they STILL have not delivered anything.
I disagree with the last part. People do want to make their own things, I mean to this day people still bake. But it's got to be somewhat cost effective to do so, you can make a cake for a lot cheaper. The only way you can get cheaper bought is if you get a really shitty cheap one. Something like the flatev fails to do that though and the person doesn't really get to make anything cause it is all automated
I rarely eat bread, but sometimes I do crave it. The raw ingredients of bread keeps for much longer as well, where as if I bought bread, it tends to just go moldy before I could finish it - so I end up wasting food. So I learned to make my own bread- enough for what I eat, its tasty, less waste, cheap, your house end up smelling so goddamn good and the kneading is relaxing af. On top of that the ingredients that goes into bread is usually what you already have in the kitchen anyways. : p
Actually, from an engineering standpoint, this machine is quite nice, really. And it's totally understandable that it takes 90 seconds, but this is just too long for a consumer product. Also the price is absolutely nuts.
I agree making your own bread, tortillas, whatever, is not a problem, and is not regression. However, you hit the nail on the head in terms of the real problem, while the video only hints at it. Some people like to buy things to save time and/or stay hands-off, some people like to make things to save money and/or be hands-on, and some people like to take harder options to be environmentally friendly. Nobody likes to buy things to waste money, waste time, be hands-off, and pollute like it's going out of style.
Big Green I'm actually writing this with a burned finger from turning flatbreads in my iron skillet while watching this video on my phone lol! I make my own sourdough bread and tortillas e.g. and since I do that I can appreciate food a lot more. Because I put actual work into the making, I love kneading dough. And it's very cheap.
Make your own break? Did you grow your own wheat? Did you grind your own flour? Did you dig your own rock salt? Did you synthesized your own baking soda?
I don't care what anyone says, she's my tortilla waifu!
OTBWY same
Zac Brown
if i see one tortilla-chan dojin i swear i will loss it,god why i am giving weird ideas lol
My biggest issue is that the 79c tortillas are fucking TINY
That guys such a creep dude ugh [the dude in the video] with the translatro thing
_Flashbacks of Schezo from Puyopuyo_
Backers still have not received their Flatev machines.
My grandma can make like a dozen tortillas in 90 seconds. They use a larger oven and make the masa on their own in the cheap.
the best brand of tortillas will always be your own abuelita
I just gave it a like and subbed because of the "mentiras!" part.
hahaha, thanks bro!! I've got more on the way!
Cultural appropriation / DRM protected tortillas / and a Mac G4 clone case that takes up half of your counter space. Sounds like a good idea!!! Btw I love my bread maker!! :)
Thanks to Flatev we now have "DRM protected tortillas" we are already living in a dystopia. Bring on the kitchen Soylent Green processor and invite grandma over while you're at it.
Hey, and you're right! It does look like a Mac 4!!
Hey now, don't go shitting on bread makers. Still end-up cheaper than store bought and nothing tastes better than a fresh loaf you made yourself. Also works great for making pizza dough...
Seriously I looked up this video on my phone after watching it on my Xbox just to say this. God damn I'd love some of my mom's fresh bread maker bread right now. So freaking good!
It´s nothing bad about bread makers, but as soon as you recognize how easy (and in my meaning, more tasty than out the breadmaker) it is to make own brad, just out of the kitchen oven, you see, how needless the bread maker is (although it´s better to eat bread out of this machine, than industrial bread).
Hmmm.. kinda like actual ovens?
If you have the celiac disease and can't eat normal bread, bread makers are a godsend. I don't know why he's complaining about them. Where I live, the special gluten-free bread is expensive and only available in specialized stores. It's cheaper and more convenient to just make it at home.
You know what else makes bread? Ovens.
Are we just going to ignore the tiny like 4" Tortillas?
there was one website that actually showed the finished ones and they looked like a masa stain on the side of the road
THANK YOU!
Now, I can see how a translation machine would be helpful if you're abroad in another country, but only for certain, matter-of-fact questions and statements, like ordering at a restaurant.a
Also, I wish that pitch lady would decide whether she's from Mexico or northern California.
What's wrong with you? Your suggesting the waitress take the earphone in her ear and sit for some chat? First off they're busy, second nobody would want to have others used greasy earphones in their ears
this woman's accent is more inconsistent than the US economy
That needless prototype redesign was a huge red flag. The first one looked like a really nice minimum viable product. Cheap, quick and easy to manufacture, get it in the hands of customers.
The second one is needlessly complex and expensive just for the sake of vanity, much like the juicero. I'll bet the molding for it cost a TON, and don't even get me started on packaging and shipping this damned thing.
I noticed each time she put a different pod in the machine, she put it in a different direction. Not an expert on this KickStarter, but wouldn't the slot be a one-way deal? Like the working prototype? I'd go as far as to say the "Mexican architecture and textile" inspired machine they're advertising doesn't operate yet.
Specially the loco jete
We still proudly use a bread maker.
I kinda want the translator thing. It would make a great icebreaker at work.
"Hey, check this shit out! Watch me speak in terrible Portuguese!"
And then they want to use it.
Also, I'd go to Greenpeace conferences in my Hummer H1, then show off its kickass biodiesel conversion.
There's translation apps you can get on your phone that do the same thing. I have Vocre and it has a translator that turns your American English into an old English man. Pretty dope.
The translator section gave me PTSD to a guy that stalked me on my lunchbreak this one time. He wouldn't take no for an answer, it was awful :(
Pfff, flatever
I'm totally going to copy that and refer to Flatev backers as Flatevers
Skip to 3:45 to avoid ultra-cringe translator creep
I wish i found this earlier?
I skipped it too.
thanks
"Sometime after OJ got away with murder but before Surge hit the market." that's the best way to describe the mid 90s I've ever heard
I actually have a bread-maker at home, it makes freaking delicious and fresh bread, but it still takes more effort than getting some bread at a store.
But speaking from my experience (in germany) the price for bread maker bread is quite competitive.
IT'S SO GOOD when it's fresh and warm, with the soft middle, and the hard, crispy crust. It's been so long.
wouldn't it make more sense to have a water input/reservoir like keurig so they could store more flour in a pod and possibly make multiple tortillas per pod rather than waste space in the pod for water?
just buy it from supermarket then microwave it.
Stories Dreamer : Dead Ass Facts B.
Microwave is gross, get that shit on a dry cast iron or nonstick pan. It'll take a tiny bit longer, but just put your stove on full blast, don't even need a spatula; just put your finger on it, Bing it to the edge, pinch and flip. Makes a world of difference.
this is still an amazing and funny video six years later
the reference to the cannibalistic murderer in the beginning was funny as hell
i'm surprised so many people caught it, he's pretty obscure unless you live in Japan of France
$0.79 for a single tortilla?
I can probably buy or make more for cheaper
Astrocat here in México 1 dll is equal to 30 tortillas or more
@@cristian2452 6 years later and a dollar for 30 tortillas sounds about right even today and in the US, no less. I don't understand how anyone could think this product would have made any sense.
My family and I still actually use a bread maker and we can make some killer banana bread with it!
someday I will harness the power to make banana bread... until then I am a slave to the Hawaiian guy who comes by the office every few weeks to sell his.
just found out these guys are swiss, and their "headquater" is not that far away from me, so if you ever want to make a follow up, hit me up and i'm gonna ask some questions for you there
The thing about breadmakers is that honestly they're actually kinda useful. I still use em from time to time
I would go back and show everyone the microwave and some canned food to show how much we progressed in the future
One pod only makes 1 tortilla what a fucking waste of time I might as well buy a fresh pack of 30 at my local Hispanic market for 2 bucks.
ThePrankDudes or better yet go to costco and buy the pack of uncooked tortillas, they taste homemade:3
in mexico you can get 1Kg of tortillas for $0.5 usd
ThePrankDudes i guess its more for the european market, here a pack of 8 costs 3.50€
My mom bought me an air fryer just for kicks. It was like $70 and I'm having fun with it with fries, chicken drumsticks and pork chops. This thing costs $300+ to cook only one type of food and needs to have specific manufactured food ingredients for it
its a juicero of tortilla
Would anyone be surprised that the last tweet is from 2016 and the reply’s are from 2019 and 2020 asking where their product is.
Idk, man. I do love using my breadmaker. Can make bread just the way I want it, and it's less about a third of the price of a store-bought one.
(note: I'm not from the States)
It doesn't even make regular sized tortillas, it's those stupid small ones lol.
You'd think with those dumb pods it would know if it was making corn or flour, but nah. Must of been too expensive to add to the machine.
The funniest thing is that tortillas are dead simple to make from scratch.
yea like, 5 min for the dough and takes less then 90 sec to fry in the pan xD
theres no way to justify paying all that cash,tho there are tortilla cast iron molds that shape your tortillas so you dont have to roll them
Bruno Novello they are trying to capitalize on the same lazy idiots who buy a keurig and over pay for pods that can't be recycled......(and probably not good for your to drink something that came from plastic that's hot)
The redesign is to make it cheaper to produce.
Dude I love your channel, for real men, you point out SO much stuff wrong with these ideas, it's not just "this idea is bad it works bad" you point out how much it is worth, if it is ecologically correct(i really don't know if that term exists in English), you show alot other perspectives and give ideas, I don't care that I wasted 16 minutes of my life watching a review of a idea, it was worth because it was very informative in every way possible, and you're pretty funny.
Your channel is not just an ordinary Chinese review products. Congratulations my man, and keep it up with your good work.
Thanks! I do try to find a unique angle to analyze these projects from. I know there are others who do Kickstarter analysis/criticisms but I feel they go wrong when all they do is complain about what they see on screen and not going any further. Thanks for watching! I should have another soon
StopDrop&Retro Well done, another thing I appreciate in you is your wide knowledge in everything, hablas a bit of espanol, knows games, a bit hardware stuff, and it goes on ( you even knew about brazilian rip offs videogames). It is hard to find a reviewer like this nowdays. Anyway my man, peace, and thank you for giving such entertainment.
6:44 "If you were thinking Carmen Melitas Number, then you are correct!" xD Hahaha!
That moment when you mentioned bread machines and I remember we still have one from like 2006 or so and used it exactly once...
right now you still cant get the box or the pods
I'll be making an update on this. It's far worse.
Man you really deserved more subs and views... when I ended the video I though you had like 1-2milion subs then i see only 3k -.- really dude keep it going you are great
Thanks! I'm getting a lot of support this past week, I've seen the sub numbers jump! I don't know why but I'll keep doing what I do and success will find me (I hope...)
+StopDrop&Retro you have 13 of the 50 videos in my suggested tab this morning.
Why are you wishing for such a disaster? Haven't you noticed that 99% of youtube channels become shit when they get 100 000 subscribers? It's one of youtube's most well-known curse. Everytime I see a channel I like I wish them to never find success, or I wish them to make it past the curse without any degradation in content quality which is rare but is possible.
I subscribed after this video. Quality stuff. I'll even forgive you for tarnishing the nostalgic memory of loving my mom's homemade bread from a 'bread maker'
I'm more curious how the fuck dropping in the pod makes a tortilla. what opens the pod what makes it into food?
*Specifically the moco jete*
So, I decided to see if this thing ever even shipped. NOPE. No update since April 2019 on KS. Apparently, the CEO of the company is now a trainer of sorts to teach people how to start and run startup companies. Their website is still up but there is no information on what is going on. Even checking out their page, it looks like the security has not been updated either which tells me the site is close to be abandoned soon with a 404 eventually. Their last communication on Facebook was May 2019. The project has been dead for now two years, and it seems like its 100% dead. It's weird because up until 2019, they had updates and even showing pictures of people using the product, so it does (or did) exist. But once 2018 rolled in, the updates were made private to backers only and then just stopped. I'm guessing they either ran out of money or ran away with the money. I'm assuming both, they ran with what was left.
It's pretty easy to make tortillas on your stove top. They taste great and are much larger than these tiny, expensive failures.
I just found your videos today and i like em. Very funny and well made, keep up the good work. ^.^
It is sooo easy to make your own tortillas with oil, basic ingredients and a skillet.
Flatev sounds like the mascot for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia
Flatev. For bring greatness to motherland.
If you check out the kickstarter today, you will see in the comments section a lot of concerned backers and many who are claiming the creators took their money and ran. Not sure why anyone would even be excited about such a huge waste of space. Toasters and coffee makers come smaller than that bloated mess.
Dude honestly Fresh Tortillas are so much better than store-bought ones
This is still super dumb though
preach, brother
The problem with bread makers and the flatev is that if you have a oven and a stove then you can just make your own tortillas and bread neither is difficult to make at all
Well it's been three years since you made this video and the Flatev STILL isn't out.
Funny that.
Why is this comment repeated 8 times?
Where do the pod remains go? Is there a mini trash can built in? Does it mash the plastic pod into the finished product? Does it have a "pod trash can full" sensor? so many questions in need of answers!
That Japanese woman who kissed that beautiful man is a cutie pie.
She's fine as wine. You can tell that unlike the other girls in the video she's hardly wearing any makeup, she's just naturally beautiful. Love it.
japanese women are just better looking than americans, I don't know why
StopDrop&Retro I hope you start reviewing japanese woman as well
Ki thats mean.
Vitorruy1 that's honesty
Dude, breadmakers are awesome for a student. I can basically buy cheap flour and make fresh bread overnight and have it over the week. I love it.
There's a Mexican isle at the supermarket!?!?!? Fuck. Should we build a wall around it?
Don't worry, they usually do with a wall of RC Cola.
phew, that's a relief. Thank you for easing my mind!! :D lol
So it "cuts down on food waste" but drastically increases all other types of waste
what the hell mijo! a tortilla every 90 seconds from a pod? just one tortilla? a kilo isn't even enough to feed a Mexican family
I just had a quick look, and you can buy a tortilla press for like 20 bucks. That allows you to make fresh, healthy food without paying through the nose for it.
Though of course it doesn't look as hip as a coffee machine for tortillas.
I absolutely love homemade tortillas let me tell you something you don't make tortillas out of "flour and water" you use oil you use salt to use baking powder and the ones that are rolled thinner or significantly better than the thicker ones
I think the reason they're using flour and water instead of an actual tortilla recipe is because oil would separate unless you add preservatives and then you can't claim that your crap is "organic"
I have a feeling there is more in there than just 'flour and water' but they're keeping mum about it to not scare people off who want things to be so strict with their ingredients.
9:10 - where have i heard that music before? maybe where I work uses it in there marketing videos?
It's used in at least two other campaigns!
The "mentiras" part cracked me up. And I'm Mexican. That gave me the last push to subscribe to your channel. Awesome videos!
thanks! I'm working on another and should have it up in a couple days. Thanks again for watching and subbing!
and in some states near the border you can get just made tortillas and better tasting as well
Also (I know this is an older video, but I'm binge watching you since the robot video), all the tortillas are the same size. So you don't have the option of burrito-sized, and taco-sized and something better for fajitas. Corn tortillas can be a little tricky to make, but flour? They're super-simple, and I'm whiter than standard notebook paper.
Yeah, the inability to make burrito size tortillas would be a deal killer for me if I were ever close to being suckered by this. I also didn't have time to include it but in some of the pictures of the tortillas taken by testers on third party sites, they look fucking terrible see- gizmodo.com/a-keurig-machine-for-tortillas-repeat-a-keurig-machin-1583155431
That's a flattened lump of dough, for sure.
"He's biting into that like it's Robert Muldoon"
You had me laughing hard at "you are already telling me MENTIRAS!!!" Btw i'm Mexican and I find this tortilla making thing surreal
Tortilla makers are the future. It is how we will survive after the wall goes up. Nah, jk. Thanks for watching!! :D
Its 3 yrs later and I was in japan just a while ago and....
That device from 0:40, they have it and use it everywhere, shops, restaurants, train stations, its quite quick and snappy and also have text display. It helped me as a tourist to communicate with japanese people and they were the ones who were using it on me.
Actually, I think if the Japanese translator thing works that well, they should sell to fucking google. Machine-translating English into correct Japanese automatically is pretty fucking hard, not only due to the entirely different structure, but also due to the omission of non-essential sentence parts in Japanese.
Google already has their bases covered, and not with a scam.
instead of trying you know to jam a piece of plastic in them LOL I'm dying here 😂
If buzzfeed made a bread machine. No joke
In terms of baking own bread, I don't think, this should be named as something silly. My wife bake our own bread every second weekend (just out of salt, flour, yeast and water) for to use one third directly the following days (this kind of bread stays enjoyable much longer than industrial bread), the rest goes to the deep freezer for to use the last of the time fresh, portion after portion. But we use just the oven for it, I also think, this bread is better than these, coming out of bread baking machines. And a oven is something, most of the people have already in their kitchen, and no more technical junk is needed. Beside of that: I love your videos, thank you for them! Subscribed for your channel!
Thanks! And yeah, others have commented that making your own bread is easy, which I agree with. I similarly agree that making your own tortillas at home is easy and you don't need an expensive and complicated machine to do it (same with making bread at home). So I like industrial bread/tortilla making as well as home made stuff, but given those two options I don't see the need for dedicated machines to fill a gap in between.
Drinking Game: How many times does the man say um.
Take 1 shot every time he says um.
you are already dead
0.79 US dollars are aproximately 13 Mexican pesos, 1 kilogram of tortillas (2 pounds or 22 tortillas aproximately ) is worth 20 pesos at the time I'm writting this
They genuinely tried to sell one (1) fucking tortilla at almost the price of 22 💀
2:57.......wait, I look like Chris Chan??? How come no one told me up until now. no wonder I my relationships are a failure.
10:11 Batman villain robs the Soy production factory
For some reason, every time you said "Flatev", I expected to hear "Flatulence". Now that's class A marketing skillz.
This guy deserves way more than 37k subs
It'll all come with time and work and as long as I get compliments like yours, I know I'm doing something right! Thank you!
When you said "you're already telling me MENTIRAS" you got me laughing out loud. You've got a new subscriber!
That looks like a pretty tiny tortilla.
Also I hope rapey thor got deported.
I think they deported him in one of those little watermelon cubes containers.
They beat him into it with that womans handbag.
