This is the clean version of hoarding
They're not the same. Hoarding stems from a root issue of not being able to let go of things and feeling the need to have lots of things to surround themselves with. The anxiety around those feelings makes people hoard... to fill an emptiness and create comfort that something is there and always there for them. The clean and organisation obsession is also an anxiety issue... but it stems from a need to be in control of one's self and life when they fear being out of control of it, often it is a poor coping mechanism where they over compensate for lack of organisation (you often get this with ADHD people who are super tidy to combat their symptoms). The restock stuff though is more to do with a fear mindset of running out of things, and anxiety that you will be without something you may want or need and a desire to always be comfortable and with what you want for immediate gratification.
@@domtekos7761 This was a joke good sir 🧐
@@domtekos7761womp womp
Wow yes
😧 it is uh‽
"restocking my junk drawer"
ah yes, i do that too, but its more like i open the drawer and shove new junk in there and kind of shuffle it around until the thing shuts.
Was thinking the exact same thing.
I love this more than I should lol
Yup! 🤣
@@indiuckymonkey2137Oh man i have a kitchen drawer that is so stuffed things fall off the back and then i can’t shut the drawer underneath until i pull it right out and clear the debris 😂
PS influencers have a whole room for their crap and they shove it in there while filming.
LMAO 🤣😂🤣😂
Who is washing all of those storage containers!!!! Its an absolute NO for me
You're kidding right? If they're not in containers, they would have been placed in Tupperware. Good grief.
The nanny of course, you pleb
they get themselves a dishwasher with all that influencer money they get out of suckers
Their coerced slave servants 😢 this people are psychopath...
@@cheesewithxbread wooosh
This is the kind of social media literacy and analysis that we should be showing to our kids in schools. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
If my guest needs 2 sticks of deodorant and 6 tubes of shampoo, they've already overstayed their welcome!
It's their house now, you are the guest 😂
Yeah, the only toiletries I would expect to see in the guest bathroom are hand soap, hand towels, toilet paper, and maybe pads and/or tampons if the homeowner wants to be extra-awesome
😂
@@heartofthewild680 - Right and I feel like most toiletries people are bringing with them when they travel and even when hotels provide stuff like that I still want to use my own
You made me cry with laughter 😆 sooo on spot! Maybe , there should also be a separate box with a cutie note/card giving a hint of sooner leaving?;)))
I grew up poor so I can definitively tell you I'm the target demographic for restock culture. They are targeting people who never want to feel the pain of not having enough again, so they have radicalized to a plentiful mindset. I even catch myself buying huge boxes of snack bars and refilling a snack box in my pantry.
It's great you are self aware though. Unfortunately I think the people that get sucked in just have no idea the subliminal messaging in these kind of videos.
Sometimes, it's just economical to buy in bulk. Most of the time, when I look at the price per ounce, it's not. Then you have the option that if it's something you go through quickly, buy the bigger amount. There are realistic reasons to buy bigger amounts, so don't feel bad if you have a purpose beyond just having it.
I feel like this level of food hoarding is really only understandable when extreme couponers do it cause they genuinely don’t have much money and you KNOW they’ll use the hoard
@@alexiakahler7222 I have a cousin who has 8 kids…she buys this amount of food and it lasts for like 4 days.
That is so my mum! She has always had the urge to buy more than we needed. My sister once organised my mum’s pantry and it was like 6 jars of gherkins, 8 tins of green beans, 8 jars of apple sauce, stuff like that, as if she was expecting war to break out or a disaster to happen any day. My mum was born just after WW2 in the Netherlands and my grandparents would’ve been living through the winter of scarcity during the war and were stocking up even long after the war, just in case… much like people started to stock up when the pandemic hit.
I just saw a "pack my Stanley Cup with me for my morning walk" type of reel. My jaw was on the floor. Ma'am, you don't need more stuff than the average person packs for a weekend trip HANGING off of your overpriced waterbottle. What on earth is even going on.
I just saw something similar! She had a wrap around mini backpack and some other accessories attached to this cup! The vid title was 'Pack my Stanley cup with me.' I thought it was going to be satire and she'd fill it with ice and water. Nope. That cup has more accessories than I do.
The purse lady.. omg. As a backpacking traveler everything you pack becomes a weight burden. I travel as light as possible now. I stopped carrying my purse years ago and I now opt for a phone case that holds my cards and some bills that fits in my pocket. If I need coins they go in my pocket with my keys and some chapstick. Done. Life goes on.
I have 4 kids. Carrying just my wallet, phone, and chapstick is not an option. I, of course, do not load myself down with piles and various bags of stuff, but I have sensory toys and ketchup on hand for my special needs kiddo at all times!
The only time I needed this many hygiene and grooming products (minus the makeup) was when I was taking my toddler twins out for the day on public transit and using public bathrooms with $20 to spend. That was a 4 year period of my life; now almost all of that stays in a small box in my car and now that they’re 13 it hardly gets used by any of us
I do as much thru-hiking as I have time for, and I’ve started to do a mini clear out every time I get back from a trip.
Nothing like spending a week in the Swedish backcountry to make me realise I don’t need 40 eyeshadows.
I could never understand why one needs to label "grapes" on a clearly see-through container of grapes. I can see the grapes. They do not look like onions or anything else.
😅😂
😂 so true 👍
not to mention that now you can’t use that container for anything else
i would’ve thought they were strawberries if they weren’t labeled
@@silentsong5397an organized fridge many times saves space.
If I went to somebody’s house and they had a perfectly stocked fridge like this I’d assume they’re a psychopath
Hehe I actually met a guy who invited me to his place to make tacos together and he had kitchen utensils I never heard of before like an egg slicer, a salad tumbler, a special device to make evenly sized apple slices and when I spilled some pepper and wanted to wipe it up with a cloth he stopped me and brought out the hand held mini hoover. He wasn't a psycho but we weren't a good match... I'm feeling well organized when I don't have my sweater on backwards.
Me too!!!!
@@annaf3915 he'd been waiting for the day he could whip out that mini hoover 😆
@@Emiliciaa I think so, yeah 😄
@@annaf3915 I remember egg slicers from the 80's 😅
If we could go back and tell people that humans now have sunken to making videos where they're restocking items and people watch them for fun, they'd think we're insane. And we are.
Well,first, you would have to explain what "video" means! 😂
Not really they’d probably be equally enticed. We’re not that wildly different from each other.
@@Waspinmymind Our society has completely changed over the decades...we are wildly different from people of the past.
Imagine having to wash alllllll those fridge containers every time you get new “stock”.
Imagine taking ketchup out of a squeezy bottle to put it in a far less practical bottle!!! IMAGINE ACTUALLY DOING THAT
I just came to say this! Like that is so impractical.
Wild behaviour 😂😂
My 25 year old son would totally dip right out of a jar of ketchup. Maybe they're onto something.🤔...personalized ketchup jars?!?🤣
Sociopathy
Is it so the bottle s are all the same size to fit in the fridge together?
The environmental consequences of influencer culture is terrifying
Amen. Between the extra plastic these folks buy to restock their fridge to Stanley cups to the Jeep rubber duckies, it's too pathetic and disgusting.
I do wonder if in an attempt to continue to skirt the responsibility or environmental repercussions companies will start to push blame and on influencers seeing as the attempts to blame the consumer is no longer working.
It truly is.
Not even from what they buy, but the wastefulness of packaging & product & shipping from PR they receive from brands. It's wild.
"if everyone's consumption patterns were similar to the average American, it would take just over 5 Earths to support the human population"
I wonder how many earths we'd need if we lived like an American influencer.
I dont have to worry about re-stock. ..my pantry stays empty w this economy!
as someone who needs everything to be perfect, clean, and organised around me in order not to spiral into an anxiety attack, it's insane to see people acting like this willingly. the energy it drains to think about this stuff constantly is life-ruining
Yikes
If this is true you probably have severe ocd, you should try meds or therapy if you can
@@CatboyShadowbox it's not ocd, it's autism. i go to a therapist, and no meds will not just make me not autistic anymore.
@@CatboyShadowboxI’m pretty sure that’s not what ocd is.
It is their job not a hobby or chores
The best advice I ever heard “don’t read beauty magazines, they’ll only make you feel ugly.” I started to see influencers as the new beauty magazine, it helped me see things more clearly.
This is so well put! Will keep in mind! :)
It's from the sunscreen song!
@@jamiea4350Yes! 😆 Only us Xennials would remember this 😁
Agreed. I started to feel so much better about myself when I got off Facebook and Instagram.
Funnily enough, women's magazines have some of the most in-depth investigative journalism for a while due to loss in revenue because of the lost interest.
Shame they are reverting back to being horrible again.
I bet there's a backup 'ugly' fridge where the leftovers and half-empty stuff goes, like in the garage out of sight haha
😂😂😂
of course! Doesn't everyone have one or 2 of these backup fridges? lol
I'm imaging it like ACTUAL soaps we could use in the bathroom that my mom kept hidden away while we could only "look but don't touch" the stupid decorative soaps and towels :)
Kim K just posted video of her real kitchen/fridges
I'm sure they just toss all that in the garbage.
Poison control hates people like this. When an accidental ingestion happens they don’t have the ingredient list to help in that situation
This needs to be up commented so much, expiration dates, lot numbers, batch numbers are so important for food safety.
I am horrified by how much junk food is featured in the kitchen restock videos. Especially when its the "kids' 'fridge"
& half of those "products" should not all be in the fridge, thus reducing fridge space.
Junk food doesn’t exist.
Our bodies consider it nutrition ether way. Please talk to an actual dietitian.
@@WaspinmymindWhat dietitian do you know that recommends ultra processed foods? Junk food definitely exists lol
@@Waspinmymindfire your dietitian, or if that’s you, please go out of business
People make fun of their grandmas for being addicted to shopping on HSN and QVC, but they don’t realize social media has become literally identical, it behaves the same way and serves the same purpose, and they are EATING IT UP just like granny.
Excellent comparison!
Truly, I was chuckling at my auntie the other day…as I was scrolling an online shop cause I saw an ad that was cute on Instagram. Yikes!
Daaaaaang!!! That's real.
Not going to lie I like watching QVC to relax and I'm 30 so..🤦♀️🤷♀️
Why is that lady so angrily organizing her fridge? I’m legit at a loss for what the appeal of that video was.
"Aesthetic" silicone ice trays are beginning to show up in my thrift stores, in huge quantities. Proof that "TikTok Made Me Buy It" items are fun or cute for a minute, but ultimately they are destined for the secondhand market and then the landfill. I expect in 6 - 12 months, the thrifts will be full of Stanley brand mugs.
True, for £1 I was able to get second hand heart shaped and hello kitty shaped silicon. Ive been making the most expensive chocolate you've ever seen since then. Can't wait for my stanley in 12 months time hahaha
I have seen the same thing. Especially right after a holiday.
@@theboujieproletariatthis is SO real, i’ve been a cutesy/pink person for years and now that barbie summer over i’m having a ball picking up cute pink thrift store finds LOL
People dgaf about aesthetic if they're not making money from it. So it's obvious outcome: people buy these ice trays hoping to become popular on tiktok, make a few very time-consuming videos, get 100 views and throw everything away. Too bad we're not talking about this more because every criticism is faced with "Just let people enjoy things!!!" and denying that nobody's enjoying this things off-camera and the whole thing is just an attempt to get famous on tiktok and make some money back.
I always thought they were chocolate molds to make cute little chocolates or cakes 😩
I don't understand why people WANT to live in stores at "home". How uncomfortable. Unnecessary, overconsuming fools. Blind sheep.
Thank you. You may have saved me. A few days ago I accidentally ran into one of those people you are talking about. She is at the very beginning of this video. I became enamored with her and ordered several things. Now I realize the truth about these types of people and will not buy anymore. With her long gorgeous nails and all of those wonderful handbags and cosmetics, etc. I lost my mind. Thanks so so much for bringing me back to reallity.
😂😂😂
It’s targeted for lower middle class and poor people: I belong to this class. It’s a psychological thing IYKYK. I literally had to detach myself mentally from these types of content. This is literally hoarding disguised as “aesthetic content”.
YES. Minimalistic aesthetic content is marketed to people who have generally not had bare cupboards before; full cupboard content is marketed to people who have.
As someone who was poor, no tf it isnt. It's targeted to the gullible. To the people who look at something and say 'I want that.' I do have the aesthetic ice, I refill it weekly. It takes 15 minutes but i use my ice every single day because i work 10 hour days 5 days a week and i do not have time to go grab anything. I do have the 'ear bud cleaner' because I have a laptop AND IT CLEANS LAPTOP KEYS.
It's literally not stupid for people to buy things they absolutely need. You do not need cats, dogs, nor children. Her owning a cat is obsessive hoarding that SHE considers okay. Everyone is entitled to their own okay.
Stop juding people based off of your own negativity.
Yes, I got myself some organizing clear shelves. After a while realized, were not saving me time or helping kids find snacks better. So I got rid of them use original packaging and just store them by size on shelves. It helps kids and save me time money just buy what they really eat.
The worst of these videos are the makeup ones. I just watched this influencer organize an entire cabinet of just palettes. And I'm not talking about 1 palette each but she had 3 or 4 palettes of the same kind and multiples of the same color story. Eyeshadow expires 12 months after its opened and unopened eyeshadows keep for 3 or 4 years. They're not books, they expire because they contain natural ingredients. This is just a person flexing their collection. It's great if they're rich but most of these wannabe beauty influencers are drowning in debt just to keep up that image. No wonder we have 10 years olds wanting expensive makeup and anti-aging products. Anti-aging... on a 10 year old! Insane! I have 2 palettes. 1 neutral and 1 with colors I like and if I love a color, I'll buy singles and put them in a magnet palette. It's just excessive and worst kids are being influenced by them.
@@rumblefish9 they get sent a lot of it as PR too though - on every level they’re not really paying for stuff, or writing it off their taxes. It normalizes this kind of crazy waste but it just sort of starts happening at a certain level of that industry
Something that bothered me as a retail worker about 16:14 was them not rotating stock. They are pushing the drinks that are "still left" into the back and putting all the new ones in front. The old ones will expire in the back 😭
😂 you really think these sealed drinks will get anywhere close to rotten in the fridge? 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Exactly! First in, first out.
“The Kardashians and Jenner’s Fridge” 😂
@@annerink4327 They will. A lot of drinks, even sealed, will expire when they have milk or fruit in them.
I know I rotate my can goods for this reason like I have one tomato soup left buy 4 more. Put the new four in the back put the older one up front.
Those “restock, refill” videos always make me go…. Who’s doing all those extra dishes when you empty items?! No thank you!
Thank you for shining a light on this.
Ive started decluttering. I realized 90% of the "skincare" products I was using or the items I was buying was an absolute waste of money. I made my mind up not to buy anything again besides basic soap.
this! im going into college in the fall, so there are a lot of things I do actually need to buy, and ive noticed that its also made me start buying more things I would have laughed at 2 years ago! I've really tried to think about what I actually use skincare wise and have realized I literally only use a face wash, a moisturizer, and sunscreen!!!! and they dont need a caddy or fancy tray!! they have always sat on my sink and its literally fineeeeeeee.
@@neveratinygoldilocks Absolutely!! I wasted an absurd amount of money on skincare products because social media said I needed them. I realized I could get the same products at the drug store for way cheaper (although I don't need them). I can literally buy retinol for $1 at the dollar store. It has the same ingredients as the $30 one at Sephora.
Regarding unpackaging and repackaging of refrigerated items: When you pour a product out of its original package, you are taking it out of a sterile container. No matter how clean your own container is, it’s never going to be as clean as the original container. As a result, you are introducing bacteria, which will not only shorten the shelf life of a product, but can lead to food borne illness. It’s fine if you want to put small amounts of your condiments into pretty containers for serving, but for storage, it’s best to stay with the package it came in.
❤❤❤❤ I literally create food packages for a living. A lot of chemistry went into your OJ jug.
YES THIS!
ITS PLASTIC.!! Let people do what they want with food they pay for. Food waste is worse. Much worse
@@carver3052not true
The original container is not clean. That stuff sits on pallets in warehouses, shipping containers, sometimes outside, all before it gets to the shelf and in your house.
The FDA regulations are not as strict as you think and definitely bar minimum for non-food items.
If a guests at my house forgets their toiletries, and they don’t want to use mine, they are absolutely welcome to my basket of mini shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and lotions I’ve swiped from hotel rooms.
My SIL traveled a lot with her work. Probably 7 months of the year, maybe more. She had garbage bags full of the hotel toiletries. Every time I visited her, I came away with enough toiletries to never need to buy toiletries and still give some to family, the local food bank and local homeless shelter. Okay, I did buy some razors, lol. As her career progressed, she stayed in higher end hotels, the toiletries turned to high end products.
What was vet profession thaf ace traveled so much
If they run out and don't want to use your items, they're also welcome to the nearest Target.
Now the toiletries are screwed into the wall :/ but 99¢ refillable shampoo bottles are easy to come by 😎@@kenyonbissett3512
I don't have a selection of hotel minis,but guests are welcome,if they forget something, to use my stuff,but what I won't do is fully stock a bathroom with everything possibly necessary for a house guest, I just expect people to bring their own stuff. Isn't that the norm? X
Another consideration when you're thinking about pouring/emptying food or even medications into another container is that you're getting rid of the only way to track a product. Manufacturers use the lot numbers on labels to notify consumers when there's a recall....😮
We really need to be mindful of ALL media we take in. Whether thats social media, videos, tv, movies and music. I can't tell you how often growing up my friends would be into popular tv shows that showed unrealistic expectations or 35 year old teenagers and they wouldn't see the blatant lies and toxicity in any of the story being presented. Toxic relationships became something to strive for because these relationships were on tv. No one stopped to be mindful about what they were watching, then wondered why later they themselves had unrealistic expectations of relationships or real life situations. We can enjoy all forms of media but we have to be mindful of it and we have to teach our children who are very impressionable to be mindful of it as well. So thank you for pointing out that we need to be responsible and think about what we're looking at. More people like you need to be preaching this! Thank you.
If I were a teacher, i would show this video to my students for media literacy and to show young minds that this isn't real life.
Yes indeed! I'm going to show my grandkids this.
This is a brilliant idea for a class!!!
good idea!
Wow. I'm a teacher. Thank you for the idea.
I am a teacher, was thinking this exact thing.
You made me go from "wow must be nice to have money" to " wow do i really need to waste my money on all that"
It sounds like she accomplished her mission, then. lol. And I completely agree.
Fr duh
Exactly. “Wow. Wish I had that money. So I could do NOT THAT with it.”
It's really all unnecessary stuff.
It's certainly fantastic to have that money. But not to live like that. xD
The veganism stuff really makes me sad bc I’m order to buy all that stuff that is “good for the planet” ur actually over consuming and probably not using what you already have… which is not good for the planet
I diedddd watching you break down the issue of what happens to the half empty bottle of ketchup 😂😂
The fact that the third woman emptied out BONNE MAMAN jars that are already known for being aesthetically pleasing into a different set of aesthetic jars drives me up the wall! It makes no sense to move something from a GLASS JAR into another GLASS JAR!
I literally save my bonne maman jars to put other things in because they're THAT cute! (Stuff like homemade sauces or extra chopped veggies usually, not...other stuff that already came in packaging, lol.)
Especially because the new jars will for sure contain more bacteria in them than the original one. And you're never allowed to go to the store and just randomly pick an item you like when you don't have a special container for it. Also you have to completely empty every container before restocking or produce even more waste. What if in one week I prefer raspberry jam over cherry jam, but have to eat everything in the fridge before I can buy new one? I'll never understand this.
@@zegct1I put my Q tips in them.
I LOVE those jars. I use them all over the house to store things. They're the cutest!
I'm just clicking on this now and haven't seen that part yet,and just reading this makes me preannoyed! 😂
If that lady loves to stock so much... why doesn't she work at a grocery store😂😂😂😂
She’s making money by making deceptive content against her fellow citizens.
Right, her kitchen looks like a gas station.
Amazon warehouse would love this woman
Because she makes way more money doing this shyte content than she would just working at a grocery store.
Because that doesn’t make money.
I just came home from a very stressful meeting. I was going to go buy me a purse and thought "that's not going to make me happy'. Then I come home to this video. Your message at the end is on point
Thank you!! I hate those restocking vids. It’s so wasteful and damaging for the environment. Not to mention unrealistic😢
A very important topic to cover is how many of these "faceless" influencers could in fact be hired models working from a 1by1 metre studio alongside 300 more such hand models, making money for a content farm.
That's a disturbing thought.
That sounds like an episode of black mirror.
Nailed IT!
Like ghost kitchens.
@@samsmith6169 It’s not because this type of industry already exists
8 years ago I disconnected from social media except youtube for my own mental health. Haven't regretted it.
Same
Same… 3 years ago
Same deleted my insta,Facebook,snap among others and my life has been filled with so much happiness,less stress and no more migraines from using my phone for hours on end.
Hifi 2 years!😅🎉
One year so far Best decision
I can't smell. I can't imagine not being able to see if the food is still good. There is also an other big issue I see with losing the labels. My household has many different allergies, so we always need to be able to see what is in the food. I also have friends with food restrictions, and if they come over I want to be able to see if they can eat the food and drink the drinks. Without a label all of that would be impossible. I would never throw away packaging unless the food is finished since you can never know what will happen.
Exactly!! The lack of lables quickly makes these houses become inaccessible and unsafe for people (even for people with no allergies cause where are the experiation dates??)
I do have hand soap sheets. Too many times of going to bathrooms and finding no soap. I can't handle not using soap!
What kind of MONSTER puts ketchup in a JAR?! You need the little spouty thing. Are you gonna *spoon* your ketchup next to your air fried fries or pour it from the jar??? No. You need the spouty thing, you monster
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
This comment is gold 🤣
Not to mention the peanut butter.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 monster!!!!
Definitely defeats the purpose. Extra dishes to clean as well.
I try to buy glass bottle versions so I can recycle ♻️ not as convenient but so much better for the planet 🌏
I hate hate hate the practice of removing food from it's original packaging: with expiration dates, nutritional info and ingredients, and shielding from light when needed. This hate goes all the way back to the rise of Pinterest.
You can write the expiration date on the airtight container. I put flour and pancake mix and stuff like that in airtight containers and I just write on the plastic container with a marker. The rest of the info you said is missing can be looked up online. Walmart and target and places like that have the nutritional value info for items online
@@A---ti3zz That's all good until you remember that many products that should be kept in fridge also have "after opening consume in x hours". Are these influencers going to drink all 20 bottles of milk and stuff in 2 days?
@@marinamoroz5376no one opens 20 bottles of milk at once so that’s not a problem. You can write the throw away date. Not sure why you are fighting with me. Go yell at them instead. There are tons of issues with what they do but most of their wastefulness are in other areas of their home
Yeah it's REALLY unhealthy
My family does this with jam, but only with jam. It's cheaper to buy the jar once, and then clean it out and fill it up with jam from those sausage-looking plastic refill sleeves. Just make sure you have a big enough jar and clean it well before every refill. Jam stays good for a long time. It's not aesthetic at all but it works.
I would never do this with stuff like ketchup, that already come in good containers.
I’ve been passively watching these kinds of shorts and had no idea how deeply this stuff got into my subconscious… we’ve all got to be careful with what we’re consuming without critically thinking about WHAT we’re watching. THANK YOU for drawing attention to this 👏🏻
Me watching the ice video: what on God's green Earth? I literally pulled the ice maker out of my freezer because the ice was less valuable than the actual freezer space!
I love the lady that cleans hoarder houses for free. I also love the guy that cleans vents, a guy that cleans roofs, a guy that fixes dead spots in grass, and the septic tank guy
And the mowing guy!! SBMowing, if I'm not mistaken. He mows overgrown lawns for free! So satisfying to watch
There’s also a guy (“post” somebody) who unclogs storm drains and it’s so satisfying when it really starts flowing!
@@katiem3626 yesssss I love watching the water whoosh! Plus I’m amazed how grass and trees can grow anywhere
Aurikatarina? I know I spelled wrong but god I love her 😭 also Midwest magic, the dude is hilarious (I have no clue his real name since he changes it every video)
Aurikatariina!!! She actually washes all her microfiber towels at home too!!!!
A lot of these containers take up more space than the original packaging!
True 😂
I was cringing at all the dead space in the cheese/deli meats/etc boxes in the fridge restock. x.x
Another thing about the fridge that's just for drinks, why do you need to keep 6 identical bottles of water or soda or "Liquid Death" chilled at all times? What a waste of energy. Do you ever come home with the urge to drink 6 bottles of the same soda in a row?
right if l drink soda, its once in a blue moon, l prefer water.. l dont drink it back to back. l dont even feel hydrated.
Liquid death is just bouje water too 😭😭 it's so wasteful too like I know they're rich enough to have filtered water from their fridge or smthn??
Storage containers for pantry items make perfect sense because they are exposed to potential bugs. Flour mites will get through plastic bags.
I thought flour mites were already in your flour when you bought it? (i.e. repackaging wouldn't do anything because if the flour has mites it has mites)
I have never repackaged my flour from the paper bags they came in and I have never run into flour mites/weevils (didn't even know they were a thing) until last year at a friends house when we tried to make pastry.
Though I could understand having a box that you put all your bags of flour in to keep them/the rest of your cupboard protected from cross contamination, having individual boxes for each pantry item just doesn't make sense to me.
The only thing I decant is rice, because I buy it in 5kg bags and pour it into a box that 1) fits in my cupboard and 2) doesn't require me to weight lift every time I want to cook rice, while the 5kg bag goes in an out of the way storage box to act a weight until I use up what's in the box.
@@moodycowcrafts4862 well flour mites can be hard to see. And often people don’t do a full inspection of their flour upon purchase. They buy the flour and then put the bag in the pantry. But if you decant it into another container, you can check for mites. Further, if you don’t end up noticing the mites upon inspection, you’re safe to eat them especially when cooked, but again, they won’t have infected anything else in the cupboard, so you’d only have to throw out the flour.
And I don’t think every item in your pantry requires a separate container, but it’s not a bad idea for the usual suspects of carrying flour mites: flour, cereal, rice, pet food, pasta to at least give them a look over and, when possible, put them into separate containers.
I like using storage containers, especially if an item comes in a bag that doesnt reseal, like pasta. But I definitely don't go to this extreme. Plus it's nice having spice jars or other pantry jars I can take to the bulk store and get a discount for filling those and not their disposable bags.
This kind of content took off shortly after the Kardashian “pantry tours”. What people fail to realize is that there were stylists hired to specifically stock and over-organize those pantries for people who do not shop or cook for themselves to fill empty spaces for visual appeal in an otherwise unused area. It’s aesthetically acceptable hoarding.
Yep, and even if it was their fridge, they have professional chefs. So it's not their fridge. It's the fridge of someone who gets paid by billionaires to keep the fridge looking nice, among other things.
"It's aesthetically acceptable hoarding." That's exactly what it is.
That, and the budget.. They can afford to essentially have an edible food installation producing $1000 of waste product needing replacing daily, what's 30k a month on a fully stocked fridge when they are making more than a million a week? It's ultra wasteful but they can afford to be. Normal people making enough to survive but not really enough to thrive really shouldn't take on something like that.
Yes I wonder if these are professional cleaners and organizers who do this for ultra rich clients. My aunt preps vacation houses on a lake as part of her cleaning business and I think part of the job is similar to this. I don’t think any of this is for regular people.
I love the term "aesthetically acceptable hoarding". I will have to remember that one. ;)
"When you have to restock your entire guest bathroom drawer because your friends says she will only use natural nontoxic vegan products" Well if I had a friend who demanded I buy hundreds of dollars of new product so she can stay over instead of just bringing her own supplies, I would simply not be her friend anymore 🤷♀
Anyone who is that particular would definitely bring their own stuff. I’m that person… I have lots of allergies so I’m particular. I’d never. In a million years. Expect a friend to stock her bathroom with my products!
I’m guessing these guests are wealthy and are coming to stay in a house of another wealthy friend. Normal people are not this good of a friend to provide all these luxuries to someone coming to spend a few nights. You need “specialty” products, go buy your own or bring some with you, or best yet, stay in a nearby hotel. Why are you staying at my house? I don’t want you to find it comfortable enough to never want to leave where later you’ll end up evicting me from my own home through some scheme you’ve concocted.
This one was especially funny to me with the full-size deodorant. Either your friend is leaving behind a used deodorant or stealing your stuff when they go!
Yeah, I feel like the friend is going to move in
I would send that “friend” a link to Airbnb soooooo fast. 😂😂😂
LG Queen as an example of unrealistic and excessive restocking and organizing. I told her that she deleted me but everyone praises her 8 different cereals , 20 sponges in drawers and 35 different snacks. PLEASE!!
What I love about your videos is that you’re shedding light on the backstage stuff, the inner workings of making money doing content, that non content creators don’t know a thing about. Just remembering they get a cut off that does make me feel better about what I have and not feel bad about my life not looking like this. Thank you!
I used to envy people on instagram with their lifestyle and wishing I had it, but then something inside me snapped one day, and now I'm just living my best life with what I have
Go you!!! Me too!!! ❤❤❤
That's awesome❤
Exactly
Best way to be 😀
Snapped, or woke up? Glad you saw the light.
If someone said I had to restock everything in my bathroom so they could be a guest, I would send her a list of hotels.
🤔 I always bring my own stuff. Why would I expect a host to know what I need?
@@buschhuhn9197 Exactly, I always bring my own shit with me. I'm very particular about what products I use (for medical and ethical reasons), so I'm pretty sure that none of the places I stay at have them readily available.
(the friend isn't real)
It’s obviously clickbait to sell those types of products. There is no “friend”.
I’m vegan, and I always bring my own stuff if I am staying with a friend. That one literally made me laugh out loud, but it was fun to watch.😅
I need to keep reminding myself that people aren't actually stocking their bathrooms for their friends like a store and actually living with these literal store displays of dozens of ridiculous, finicky, single-use little gadgets for extremely specific uses, because it is incredibly infuriating to watch the ridiculousness of it all
THANKYOU for making this video. It is so important, especially these days. We are constantly bombarded with negativity and rage on social media so our only escape are these over the top ASMR, restocking being one of them. And the most basic thought is "since this made me feel better, buying this will make me feel better too". Its is important to be reminded to be mindful of media vs reality and your video puts a big wedge between consumerism and reality❤️
Edit: also, my asian mom would kill me if I buy all this.
Imagine opening a dozens of lattes just to pour them into glass containers and let them rot before their expiration date because you opened them. I CANT
Not to mention having to sterilize all those between uses.
I truly agree with you 100%!
And the little bit that is left in the original bottle!
@Saezimmerman this was my exact thought 😅
I remember the first time I saw those plastic milk cartons in a store...I was like, "What?? Why?" LOL
Yes, I hate this so much! Restocking is something big supermarkets do… We, as individuals, shouldn’t restock. We should just buy what we need. No reason for a shelf full of shampoo & conditioner unless you own a hair salon!
What a waste of money the average person hasn't got a lot of spare money to be like their favourite influencers and they get into debt to pretend they are wealthy enough to live this lifestyle and end up with severe depression or isolation but they seem happy to the outside world so sad they think they have to be like that. Hugs and prayers for you all from the UK xx❤❤❤
I have a small stock of food storage in the basement, but it's mostly for those "Dad, we ran out of peanut butter!" moments.
Why do you hate it? Genuinely curious.
Just to add another side to this: I grew up incredibly poor, basics like shampoo weren't a guarantee to be restocked immediately or even that fast, so when I first lived on my own married, I couponed a TON and had a stock pile and did similar "restocks" it's not that it was about the aesthetic of a shelf full of name brands, but rather the security they were there. I'm well aware this isn't inherently the case with this kind of content, however, part of it could lead back to some issues of our past we're overcompensation for. ❤
@@michelleprieur1 because of the environmental consequences. That kind of consumerism creates a ton of waste (also behind the scenes! Even if you don’t immediately throw it away there’s a ton of resources that went into production). And while this particular person might be doing it for instagram content, their followers will inevitably end up buying some of these cutesy items. And it is not essentials, it’s cheaply made cute stuff that you’ll replace next season or that will fall apart on its own. So it makes my heart break to see so many people asking for links for these things.
The labeled fridge containers are *sending* me. 😂
So relatable. I often try to make scrambled eggs and end up trying to crack a lemon into the pan.
We've all been there. That's why we need the labels. So convenient! 😆
Yes you're correct. The Influencer Insanity EP 1 was the 1st video I've watched from you and was actually impressed at your honesty and pointing out the most obvious. I believe "influencers" are not necessary as we should decide what is good for "US" and our lifestyle. I don't subscribe to too many channel but happy to include you in my list. Keep on doing what you're doing! I KNOW it's time consuming but it's good information to have out there! I always say "you do YOU!"!
The expiration date point is SO IMPORTANT 🤯
I don’t think they threw away the actual expiration dates. Just the bottles
When I restock dry goods into jars I write with Posca the expiry date on the jar. 👍🏻 Sometimes it is pointless because the product is used way before this date, because here in Europe the products are not so big like in the US (at least what I’ve seen online). 😅
These aren’t families of 8 that’ll use it all up before expiration.
That gal that did the food restock videos makes an expiration date sticker that she puts on the bottom of the bottles and jars. She showed it in one of her reels.
Yes!!!! Every time I have to put food in a container (like flour that is now open) I cut the piece that has the expiration date, the name of what is in there and the cooking time (like when it’s pasta) and tape on my glass jars 😂 not asthetic, but very safe for sure
I don't care if I became a billionaire, I would never want my house to look like a convenience store. I'd rather adopt another cat!
Same! And the environmental consequences are very sad! I never knew that people’s houses look like a store
Literally me
Lol
@@NiaRiggins The ice cube person is probably just throwing away all of those ice cubes after posting the video because they will never use all that ice. I wonder where they put all the stuff out of that freezer drawer so they could put all the ice into it. They might have also had to throw away a whole drawer of actual food in order to film the video of them "restocking" some soon-to-be trash into the freezer.
@@lance_374 yes! You are most likely right and it’s really disturbing and disappointing! You can do regular restocking videos my life isn’t that boring where I’m going to restock all that!
Restocking makes me so uncomfortable.
Like, think about the fact that every piece of plastic in that video will very likely exist on the planet essentially forever, either as itself or eventually as microplastics. Every piece of packing in the store. Every piece of packaging you've ever touched.
It gets really overwhelming really fast.
Like, next time you go to the grocery store just stand there and look at everything and think about that. It's insane.
SAME like every video just makes me want to scream like you don't need any of this???? And it quickly just gets so existential
I appreciate this video so much! I was watching a video earlier and I was thinking “man I need to go to Sam’s and stock up” but I don’t! I don’t have 8 kids to feed-it’s just myself, my husband and our 2 boys and although they are a teenager and a kindergartener I don’t have to restock like I’m feeding a football team! Thank you for posting this! I’m a new follower of yours and this is rather refreshing to see!
The purse video, reminds me of being a kid and getting my first handbag... I was 7, I had nothing to put in it apart from my "twinkle purse" so I walked round the house popping things in it like vaseline from the bathroom cabinet, a spoon from the kitchen 😂
One of my favorite things to do is see what’s in a little girl’s purse! They have the most interesting things!
🤣 That is adorable!
Omg you unlocked memories 🥹😂
I shoved a bunch of markers and gel pens, a tiny impartial notepad, different chapsticks from an entire pack of chapsticks, and different, most likely already old candy that I just had into mine at 8.
😂
I can tell you now half, though markets and gel pens would lose their cap and just stain the inside of whatever bag it was an if the candy wasn't old it went into the bag to die and either stay old or melt and ruin in the inside because I left it in the car because kid me was not into carrying a bag, lol.
😂
21:10 let's be honest, the labels on the clear containers are for nothing else than aesthetic. No one will mistake eggs for avocados because there wasn't a label.
I actually do have a label in my fridge on the egg department (like that little place in the door for eggs). I write the expiration date on the label with chalk marker. And sometimes I prep fruit and veggies for the week. If it's a container with multiple parts in it, I also use the chalk marker to write on the small side what's in the container. Everything else I am pretty sure is visible on first glance in my fridge 😂
Good point.
This gotta be one of the stupidest trends I've ever seen.
i do label everything tho, but mostly because i need to know what food i prepared and when, so that i eat them before they go bad. So it kinda resembles a lab refrigerator rather than an aesthetic one xD kinda sad and only prepared food or opened containers of yogurt or milk have them tho. Then again, this is because i do need that kind of order, and it does tire me out to do so.
in my house, the labels on the clear containers are erasable things to show the expiration date of whatever's in the container, or specifically for the spice drawer, because I can't usually identify them by smell alone
In love w this channel. I usually don’t watch 40 minute videos but you keep the viewer really engaged and your viewpoints are respectful but also very powerful
recanning things from their original containers just makes me worry about botulism
When I see restockers doing things like opening dairy products and pouring them in separate, single-serve containers, all I can think is, "Great, now you've introduced bacteria into that." Many items will have an expiration date of say, 2 weeks from now...with the caveat of "once opened, consume within 3-5 days", so are they then consuming those contents, now introduced to bacteria, in that time frame? And then think about things like the ketchup bottle. The bottle is perfectly designed to keep the contents inside very sanitary, that's why it lasts for weeks. But once you have to scoop it out of a bowl, you introduce new bacteria with every dip (God forbid someone licks a spoon and double dips too). It's just, honestly, gross. Pretty does not always mean functional...or sanitary.
These exact thoughts are what arrest my hands from committing stupidity in the name of “aesthetics for instagram”
Id love to see travel vloggers?
The milk bottle doesn't reseal itself...
@@Ftjxmmgedbut it has expire date on it 😂 does the container this influencer pour everything in have that?
Didn’t see much of that
@@NgaBalkan no, but the argument was that the container got opened to pour out the milk. How else do you pour out milk?
Heinz: Spends millions of dollars and years of R&D to create an easy dispensable catsup bottle that keeps the sauce fresh, is easy to store, removes the need for a utensil to spread it and avoids having to shake the bottle like the old school glass bottles.... Influencer: I took that personally.
😂 on point!
I used to work on a "lifesyle show" in the Austin, TX television market, 50% of our show was paid promotional segments from makeup/cosmetic brands, home cleaning, local businesses hawking their services. These videos really are just the next evolution of that "retail-infotainment" sponsored infomercial content.
My partner sent me this playlist and I'm an instant follower now, great series! Thank you for what you do!
Hannah, I haven’t watched RUclips faithfully in YEARS thanks to the quick hit of dopamine from the short clips on TikTok and IG reels, but I am OBSESSED with this series. I freaking love you 🫶🏻
I think for me the creepiest thing about that first grocery restock is that there's no, like ... ingredients to actually COOK with. There's produce, snacks, condiments, sliced cheese, and sliced meat, but there's nothing to actually make dinner with. So you know there's an entirely separate fridge that probably actually just looks like a fridge that they use to make dinner and store the overstock that they aren't pointing a camera at.
Or worse… this is what they eat all day. This and take out.
So you never have omelettes? And you store breads in the fridge? There are some unrealistic stuff in that video, but those are the foods we tend to have in our fridge. Rice and such are elsewhere.
Yes! Where are the packages of meat? Or the different kinds of vegetables I need to cook something up? Where are the leftovers? It's like the uncanny valley, but with a refrigerator instead of people. You look at it and it KIND of looks like the real thing but off somehow on a level you can't quite put your finger on. Also, when I want to grab ketchup out of the refrigerator I don't want to read 10 different little labels, I want to just grab the bottle that I know is ketchup because it is ketchup shaped. Hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, BBQ sauce and stir fry sauce would be a whole little nightmare of same-color jars.
also no room for air circulation. half that gonna get frozen
@@NoelleTakestheSky I only have ingredients in my fridge, as it is unusual to have snacks at home in the country I live in. So I have carrots, potatoes, different kinds of greens, oat milk and meat or tofu in the fridge.
As a teen girl in the 70s , just the occasional teen magazine made me hate my nose and my body. I can’t imagine how much more damaging today’s media messages are to girls.
Girls are much more media savvy now than perhaps they were in the 70s. And teens have some built in resilience. It's scary to us, but I wouldn't worry too much about Gen Zs, they seem like a good bunch.
@@DizzyBusyL take. The beauty standards that are being shoved down our throats today are unmatched and being ‘media savvy’ is totally irrelevant.
@@phoebe5715 Of course media literacy matters, so does having access to better mental health care, these are powerful shields against tiktok brainwashing.
Conversely, when I was a child, no way in hell would I see people who look like me being represented in media as beautiful or desirable. Back then it was all flat-bodied, white, blonde women. And when they weren't white, they were still flat-bodied and often blonde. Tell me again how the media representation of women today is worse than even 20-30 years ago? Not to mention 80-100 years ago...
Also, what's an L-take? Lesbian take?
@@DizzyBusyI’m Gen Z born in ‘99: it is extremely damaging. I don’t understand where y’all get this from lol plenty of Gen Z content creators talk about the negative effects of social media and culture. It’s really sad what it’s done to us.
@@DizzyBusyYouths getting fillers, botox, and plastic surgery has surged to really high levels in Gen Z. Gen Alpha is already getting pressured to spend adult money to buy expensive skin care before they’re even 13.
There is always a big side of extremes but I don’t think media literacy matters when overconsumption-based influencers can dominate a market this strong.
I’m just sick and tired of people trying to get rich and famous recording themselves doing normal things that we should be doing anyway. Like “watch me pack my kids lunch” or “watch me clean my bathroom!” Am I supposed to be impressed or something? Are these people expecting a pat on the back for doing things that are expected of them? I just don’t see the appeal 🤦♂️
Thanks for spreading the concept of CRITICAL THINKING and LOVE 💕
Because nothing says “home” like a refrigerator that looks like it belongs in a convenience store
I am feeling like she works at a bed and breakfast or something where the drinks are included or they don't have the large convenience store-type fridge. So I feel like she is stocking at work and trying to play it off as her own stash.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@monicaphillip8449 the most popular restocking influencer in my country has her own "work kitchen" . These videos make them so rich she made a second kitchen to film her videos. These influencers most likely have their own "work kitchen" or "work fridge"...
lol right, where the heck are the leftovers?! 😂😂 I need a couple bites real quick.
It plays to childhood fantasies
This series is my new guilty pleasure watching people lie to make themselves look better, and being called out on it gives me a warm, tingly feeling 😂
😂same
Our guilty pleasure 🤣
Same😅
I also really like those videos, where people recreate Instagram influencer lifestyle pictures with the most modest (or at least clearly fake) stuff to show what's (often) really happening.
Like, a picture between exotic plants, like you're in the Carribbean. Well, they're probably just in a garden centre with a bikini and good lighting.
Look at this white sand! On this construction site. This blooming maddow, an un-mowd piece of lawn between a gas station and a highway, plus a great angle.
An then, of course, there's rentable stuff like parts of the inside of a private jet, designer clothes and bags, furniture, cutlery, decorations, curtains etc. You can rent an entire interior for a day and take pictures with you in it, before returning it.
Fun (fact) little story for that: A couple of hundred years ago, pineapples in Europe were SO expensive that only the very, VERY rich could afford them.
Those who weren't rich, however, could RENT a pineapple for a dinner party, then return it for the next to rent, until it was too rotten for display (and it obviously was display only).
So, back then you could actually invest everything you had (if you already had quite a bit!) in buying a single pineapple and renting it to other people who wanted to show off.
Times haven't change that much. xD
Right
I'm soooo glad I stumbled upon these videos by Hannah! I thought I was the only one finding that some content was manipulated... these restock content youtubers give us an unrealistic image of what our homes should look like: our dream life as consumers should be to litterally live in a store!!! That is the culmination of consumerism: to live in a house that looks like a store! Keep up the good work, Hannah! Love from Sintra, Portugal
I really respect you standing for the truth and fighting against this insanity. They made us loose our money for unnecessary things and get depression because we can't afford to buy everything they have
Omg your this video could not have been recommended to me at a better timing. I was reorganising my kitchen and found this influencer video with oil/sauces/spices organising ideas. Bottles and boxes and container of things. She said “this kitchen says that you’re a put together, responsible adults”. I went to Amazon to buy all of those. Put them in the basket. And then I took a RUclips break and this video came up. 5 mins later I emptied my Amazon basket worth 200 something euros. Thank you and now I don’t feel too bad anymore. My kitchen is clean and just fine!

This video made me empty my Amazon cart.
I almost got sucked into these until I watched one clip where someone poured a new jug of milk into a pitcher with old milk in a fridge restock. I almost cried and immediately noped out of there. 😂
Oh my gosh nooooo 😂 I can smell that milk right now
Blegh, stocking like a grocery store but they don't even know to follow FIFO!!!! 😂😂😭😭
@iluv2cheer176 that's rule #1!
And sometimes, the pretty jug is too small, so they still have to store the original container somewhere.
Oh gosh, that is horrible. Horrible! I bet they did it to garner rage comments to bump the algorithm.
Oh I can’t wait for more of this series. You featured someone who has been popping up in my feed a lot and I knew she was coming before you featured her.
Great video! Another group of influencers to watch out for doing content like this (consumable gadgets and products, single use, impractical travel things inside your own home) is doomsday preppers. There is a difference between people who prep for a hurricane knocking out the power for a week (totally reasonable, not hoarding or overspending), and the people who are "preppers" for an imagined societal collapse. There are so many influencers who take advantage of people's fear to turbo charge their paranoia and biases just to sell them prepping products. Hundreds of EDC (every day carry) kit videos, multiples per channel even. Product advertisements for knives, pouches, wallets, tiny single use items. You'll notice a lot of them focus heavily on defense and individualist mindsets for handling a crisis; they very rarely focus on building community with their neighbours, sharing resources, or containing their prepping to realistic scenarios. It leads to massive hoarding problems, food wastage (putting rice into a bucket instead of keeping it in its sealed bag...), and overspending to an obscene amount.
And again just like with these restockers, there can of course be overlap with totally normal product usage. Some people like to do bushcraft or camping stuff, or have a first aid kit and a torch in their bag with them when they travel (I always do as I'm first aid trained for my work) but too often it is to an extreme level in these accounts.
The waste these influencers generate and promote, especially plastic, is absolutely nauseating and unconscionable.
So many problems with this chick. Where to start.. First off, she has called attention to a certain type of video she calls “restock content”. So under the guise of criticising the overconsumption and wastefulness promoted in these videos, she has piqued people’s interest so that y’all are most likely going to seek out these videos if only to see what the hype is about. She has admitted to following at least one of these content creators she has put on blast. So now you’re really intrigued. Then at the end, after all her mock concern about what these content creators are promoting, she goes and recommends other specific creators to watch instead and has a LINK for the people she has promoted. Then she asks you to interact with her video by leaving a comment to “recommend” other channels etc. etc. This girl is gasp getting paid to (un)promote both these types of videos AND the certain content creators she has links for. Her target audience is YOU. The suckers that actually think she gives a hoot about overconsumption and waste and saving the planet and being a more responsible human being etc etc. This is a scam. These “anti-promoters” are ACTUALLY PROMOTING and getting paid for it. Don’t trust ANYTHING you see and dont go telling your life story in the comment section where the main purpose is to get this video to a bigger audience so that she makes more money. Peace out.
I know! It’s makes me feel nervous and a little sick watching these, not jealous
This! Even if you aren't buying from them, watching and engaging with their content enables their wasteful behavior.
Agreed. Influencers should be expected to "influence" responsibly just like big corporations are obligated to operate in an environmentally friendly way.
Exactly. People will say “well it’s their money” like it’s not OUR planet.
I absolutely HATE that she put her ketchup in a jar. Girl if we're having a bbq at your house, i am bringing my own ketchup.
right!! unless she boiled her jars beforehand it's just going to make all the condiments go bad
Trueeeee!!
And the rest in the bottle??? Just NOOO!
Agreed. The fancy ice fridge was extra, but the "real" fridge makes absolutely no sense.
Lol yeah plus the addition of having to clean everything out before the next restock.
I am actually happy I found this series from you. It kinda makes me feel a lot better that I am not this “perfect” with my home, life, or children.
I'm so happy that I found you! Your content is very sorbering and thoughtfull. It's good to know that these Instagram reals are a performance, not only for people living in the US but also for someone like me living in the East block who would think "omg, look how abounding they live in the west countries, what am I doing here, I should immigrate!" So helpful! Thank you!
The lady with the ice- how do you have the space to dedicate an entire cupboard to flavored syrups, an entire drawer to ice trays, and a huge portion of your freezer to nothing but ice? This only makes sense if it’s for a business that’s selling specialty drinks. I mean, call me crazy, but my kitchen is full with actual food and cooking implements.
THIS!!!
I fully believe they just toss it in the sink after the videos made.
She's likely in a studio. It's the only thing that makes sense
It screams “I’m rich” - as in, “I’m rich enough to have an entire freezer drawer dedicated to ice. You keep frozen meals and chicken tenders in your 1990s chest freezer? Ha, I would never. I only eat fresh ingredients. I can afford this.” It sounds silly, but it’s not about the ice, but about the lifestyle the luxury of an “ice drawer” implies. (Oh and the wastefulness of making all this specialty ice that’s going to turn into a refrozen lumpy block in a couple of days.)
You know, I honestly saw the torani syrup cabinet and wondered if it's a barista?
One of the things I hate about these restock videos is when they pour drinks/liquid food in containers. My mom tried to do that once to save room in our fridge, but what ended up happening is that we literally forgot the expiration date on the og packaging. So it just went bad 😅
Yeah that does suck. You can write on the outside of the plastic container with a marker. I put my flour and pancake mix and stuff in airtight containers. I don’t print labels because I think that is annoying to deal with when it comes time to wash so I just wrote “Pancake Mix 3/20/24” or whatever with a marker on the actual container.
I had the same problem with decanting milk. I don’t do it very much anymore, but when I do, I write the date on a piece of painters tape to stick onto the side. I do still use a plastic egg holder. There I just tear off the date from the foam carton to put in with the eggs.
It's so refreshing to see someone like you (your age/generation) being such a voice of reason on this matter. It seems like the importance of having things & just downright materialism in this country it gets more outta control every day. ...
Love your content & keep doing what you're doing🥰
As someone with an obsessive compulsive anxiety disorder, and one obsession is stockpiling (the fear of running out is so debilitating & crippling) it is so mentally exhausting that it starts to affects you physically. So how and why anyone would want to do this as a hobby I will never understand… 💔😩
Condiments and milk in jars had me screaming. It really is unhinged.
I am from a third world country and condiments and milk are sold in a plastic bag so putting them in a jar when you come home on a container is a must ( also to boil the milk so it lasts, cause is milked from a cow and then put in a bag)
@@SieMiezekatze that's absolutely fine and normal. Removing perfectly-packaged food into another container for aesthetic, unhinged.
I just couldn't get over how wasteful this was!!!! I get it if you have to do that (like in the example below), but this was just so extra!!!!
we only put our milk in jars because the gallon is getting heavy to carry and dont want to buy smaller cartons of milk lol
100%!! And once opened their use before date shortens. You’re basically introducing bacteria.
One thing I never see anyone talk about is how removing these items from their packaging often lowers their general shelf life - my wife got some of those clear plastic containers from costco to put pantry items in and we ended up throwing away a bunch of food because it got stale WAY faster than if you just left it in the bag and rolled it tight to keep the air out. Now you have all these containers that require you to put your item out in the open air and just sit there; crackers, pretzels, anything that could is going to go stale in a week tops. That lady putting katsup and bbq sauce in her custom jars - what if there's a contaminant or something in the jar you washed? You now wasted half a bottle of katsup because the whole thing went bad because there was a little bit of water or something at the bottom that you didn't notice and it went mouldy, etc. It's just such a performance piece of wasted time at the end of the day that ultimately doesn't even make your food last longer. I feel bad for all those kids in suburban houses that have snacks stored in these aesthetic containers because I bet they're all gross most of the time, except on restock day which you're probably not allowed to take any from because mom might need to make more content.
THIS!!! This is the thing that always gets to me when it comes to food restocks. I can understand it for stuff such as opened coffee, flour etcor even veggies that go in propper containers - you see better the stock level, you know when to buy some more and veggies just may get eaten if they are seen. But for stuff like deli meats, dairy, chips and snacks, sweets,sauces? It's a health hazard!!! People don't understand that this stuff is kept ok by being pasteurised/conserved and kept in a protective atmosphere - usually pure nitrogen. Once you open the package, the expiry date changes and usually you have to consume stuff in 2-3 days. The best thing that can happen is the taste goes off. The worst is food poisoning for the entire family. Especially with beverages that have dairy and juices - they are only shelf stable because of the way they are packaged.
Another crap i see is washing and tampering with produce and then storing it. For example breaking lettuce leaves and washing them, cutting spring onions, peelimg stuff, washing berries. Or prepping stuff like carrots, onions etc for the entire week. This creates a high risk of mold developig and also bacteria growth which cannot be washed away after the produce is cut. If you are prepping for next day, it's fine! If you are hoping the produce prepped on Sunday for salads is safe to eat by Friday, I'm sorry for you and your family.
I agree. Too much prepping & too long affects quality & possibly safety of food. So unnecessary.
On point, sir! Throughout the times, I've come to realize that I only choose to buy and use containers where I can fit the food in its original package - pasta, cereals, seeds, etc. -, precisely because of contamination and faster deterioration that allways came from the extra exposure to environment.
Yes!! I got a couple plastic containers with the popup lids (where you press down to “seal” and I thought I must be crazy till I read this because I swore cereal and crackers got stale so fast!! Glad I only did it to a couple things.
@TheMadalinaal yes! I don't even drink milk yet I'm disturbed by the number of people pouring milk into different containers!
Definitely do one on beauty/ skincare "collections"
I am a 40-year-old millennial, so I might be a freak but I don't watch any influencers, never have, find it pointless.
So your content to me is what I've been thinking my entire adult life. I think everyone is bonkers for falling for any of the social media BS even if it is "normal".
Thank you for making this content, know that there are some of us that never fell for it and will always treasure our mental, emotional, and physical well-being over someone else's "influence". Be well fellow humans.
