    One thing I like about your channel, and RUclips in general, is it’s a good way to learn things you didn’t know before. It’s quick and easy, digestible information that expands your knowledge and how you interact with the world around you.
    Before watching this video, I knew what bread was. Before watching this video, I knew what cake was. And at the start of the video, I was so excited to learn more about what makes bread bread and what makes cake cake.
    Yet here I sit, at the end of the video, now living in a world where the line between bread and cake has become so blurry that bread and cake have ceased to exist, and somehow exist simultaneously side by side. You have dropped me in the middle of Shcroedinger’s bakery, and I will never find my way out.

    McDonald’s was once sued over the Quarter Pounder. Someone weighed their burger and found it weighed less than a quarter pound. McD actually had a plausible explanation. The pattie is 1/4 pound precooked. It looses some weight during cooking. McD’s advertising now states that the 1/4 weight is the precooked weight.

      in my country, bread does not contain sugar, the one that contains small amounts of it is called "excellent bread" (toasts, croissants, hotdog buns), it's really hard to translate it right, and those that have even more sugar but are not cake are called "semi-confectionery"
      it is difficult to translate because we have a separate word for bread and all baked products (excluding cakes), when in English it is one and the same word

Conversely, if I buy a bagged salad from the supermarket, it's not necessarily fresh but it is healthy. With that said, the freshness of Subway's ingredients is up for debate, as I've been to some locations where they try to load up the sandwiches with more ingredients at the end of the day so they don't go to waste, and I've been to other locations where they cling wrap the tubs of ingredients and refrigerate them for the next day. The funny thing is, the only thing that's made fresh everyday at all locations is, well, the bread.

      YES thank you. I cringed when he put the flag of England (not even the Union Jack) on Northern Ireland. If you do that in NI people would literally riot and tar and feather you lol.

      Why is Northern Ireland part of the UK? Didn't the Irish want independence?

      More specifically, Great Britain is the big island, which happens to contain nations of England, Scotland and Wales, who are all in United Kingdom of Great Britain. Together with Ireland, Great Britain, Isle of Man and numerous smaller islands the make British Isles.
      And let us not discuss the monstrositythat is "Crown depencies", Territories or Commonwealth.

      @@vinzcastro9304 Oh boy. Look up The Troubles, Irish War of Independence, and Irish Civil War on Wikipedia and you'll see why. It is really hard to explain and I'm too lazy to do it right now haha. Fascinating read though. Modern Irish history is prob one of the most interesting I've read.

      @@vinzcastro9304 the Irish fought for full independence of the island of Ireland, but the Unionists in (what is now known as) Northern Ireland wanted to stay a part of the United Kingdom. As a compromise, we got full independence and 6 counties of Ireland went to the UK. I may be biased as an Irish lad myself, but it's a very twisting road and a great read if you're into history!!

    As John Oliver said in his piece on Subway, if you have to do a debate about whether your bread is actually bread, you are already losing the battle.
