One thing most people don't know about Kobe beef is that aside from being EXTREMELY expensive its only sold to a very small number of clients in Japan. If you go to the restaurant down the street selling "kobe beef" either the restaurant was scammed or the restaurant is scamming you.
@@Paulxl Yep. The real stuff usually requires a couple weeks in advance upon you ordering a meal for it. Anything that you can just buy right on the spot is 99% likely fake.
@@madzi9574 Yea pretty much. Every single time I see something labeled as "Kobe" it actually ends up being Wagyu meat mixed in with other meats. Now I'm not saying Wagyu is bad or anything, it's still pretty expensive but no where near how expensive Kobe beef actually is.
@James Moore and meat advertised as Wagyu is still amazing. I had Kobe beef at my wedding and it was about ¥15,000 per plate... For four one inch cubes. I'd rather pay 1/10th of that for Wagyu.
I can imagine some poor schmuck, excited to start his first day of work as an engineer for an innovative new tech start-up, only to learn that they want him to build a tricorder for food.
On the first one: Held hostage after paying the "contracted" amount? Then sue him. That's what contracts are for. Not only would you be awarded the designs, but probably most of the money you paid + legal fees. If your contract is incapable of binding someone to the agreement then you have the world's worst lawyer.
I'm thinking there are there trying to scapegoat someone who doesn't exist at all or they tried to scam someone and didn't pay them or the least likely scenario where they did all they could and it isn't their fault they're idiots and got scammed themselves and that's giving them the most credit I can I don't think what they said is true.
@@chainsoar A half decent contract would make the client responsible for ALL legal fees. It's very common. It should essentially make all avenues other than just paying what they legally agreed upon a huge problem. It's a large part of the reason so many clients try and say stupid shit like "We don't really feel a contract is necessary" But again like you said, that's assuming the story isn't B.S.
Shame about that second one. That thing was pretty good. The idea of kobe jerky is utterly stupid. For beef to make good jerky it has to be as lean as possible. Kobe beef is very fatty and is such an idiotic choice for jerky.
from what I found, it seems you can buy the Cinder grill now. Wired has a review of it from June, or some earlier month, this year. Also, Kobe beef is mostly fat, so you hit that one right on the head. Oh, and the cows aren't fed wine/sake or given massages. my Japanese marketing professor said it was all BS, as he used to work on the accounting for these beef farms. But apparently when in Japan, you should get 60% fat pork.
I'm just imagining someone spending thousands for the last one and holding it up to a piece of bread only for the device to say "this is a piece of bread"
About the TelSpec: You forgot to add an important detail. It did indeed identify the food correctly 97.7% of the time. But the caveat is that you have to TELL IT WHAT FOOD IT IS BEFORE SCANNING. That's right, in the app, before scanning, you get a menu of different foods. You pick which food it is, then "scan" and it gives you the "scan" (which is in reality just pulled from a database of nutrition facts), and EVEN THEN it gets it wrong over 2% of the times. You TELL IT WHAT IT IS and it STILL gets it wrong. The device scans in the near infrared spectrum, an area where almost everything has the same signature, so you can't get ANY useful information from it at all. The scanners that can do anything useful at all are a lot bigger and a lot more specialized. They are about the size of an electric multimeter and can scan one type of food only, so you need a different device for each food type. Or you can get one that scans all types, but that takes up about the same space as a fridge and weighs twice as much. And neither of those connect to your phone. And neither of those give you translated information, you have to look up the information in tables or do the calculations yourself. And they cost about 10 times as much for the handheld or 100 times for the big one.
Any 'scanning' kickstarter is a fraud. It isn't that easy to just rub an electronic doodad on something and find out what its made of. The tech just isn't there yet.
@@planescaped There are a few, but they aren't getting funded because they are too boring and do boring stuff like REAL science. There was one that failed miserably that could scan the sugar content, but that was a fair bit bigger and attached through USB rather than blutooth. Was mainly supposed to help diabetics. But since it was big, clunky, expensive, actually worked and the explanation was boring, nobody was interested.
@@morphman86 That's the main lesson, I think. If it's glitzy future tech that does something that sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. However, people will nevertheless back such nonsense because it _looks_ amazing. Same with all the water-from-air devices: They look like they could potentially help millions of people but don't do jack shit. Or, what was the name of the machine again that could squeeze juice from a pre-fab bag?
NIR is actually pretty useful for finding specific concentrations of stuff in food, but a reasonably sized, fully functional NIR sensor costs 2.4k+ There are cheaper ones, but they're very limited in scanning capability
Holy shit I didn't know about that Kobe Beef Jerky one, if I had I'd have put down a dollar to try to educate people in the comments for it cause as someone who makes his own jerky, literally rule one is that the tougher and more lean the meat is the better it is for jerky so Kobe is the LAST beef you should be using for jerky.
Seriously, even at face value to someone who knows not a great deal about food, it should be obvious that turning top notch wagyu beef into jerky is not only an insult to the beef in question (nothing against jerky, it's just the way it's made doesn't really preserve the highlights of a lovely bit of rich beautiful kobe beef), but is just an obviously terrible idea. Use the less good but still flavourful types of beef, cuts that you can do things to and they will still retain their benefits. As I say, I'm far from an expert cook and I've never made jerky in my life (as mentioned in the video, it's not so popular here in britain),it just seems obvious that it isn't going to matter if you use a tougher kind of beef for something that ends up like jerky anyway.
Really though! Whenever my family made jerky it was deer meat, just because it was super lean and super easy to work with. Even then, if I wanted to make jerky I’d use a cheaper cut, since it’s going to work out to be roughly the same texture in the end.
@@Person01234 If you're going to make beef jerky, you don't need good cuts of beef to make good jerky. My mom uses hamburger meat to make her jerky and it turns out great.
Processing expensive meat is one of the worst ideas you can possibly do. May as well have made bologna out of it. What's even the point? Wasting money?
Bologna in general should’ve never been invented I mean a fucking sandwich with a quarter inch thick slice of bologna is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen
I can tell you from working at Frito Lay, beef jerky can be very hit and miss. They used several different companies for the beef jerky under the Matador brand, but the quality imho is inconsistent af. Sometimes it's tender and delicious, other times it's tough and dry, even with fresh product. It's also expensive, so people don't like getting burned.
I don't think they considered how incredibly difficult it would be to create a device like Tellspec lol Seriously, that would be an engineering marvel even if it was the size of a laptop, and it doesn't even appear to determine the dimensions of the food.
Another RUclipsr that does science-y stuff (and occasionally busts some crowdfunding scams) did a video looking at the science aspect of such a device. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/VHjmlQdzpW4/видео.html
If it did work they would have made more money selling their amazing technology to scientists who spend tens of thousands of dollars on similar equipment.
The size of a laptop? To get a machine to identify something's chemical makeup to the level of the tellspec it'd be a scientific marvel for it to be the size of a refrigerator!
@@IsomerMashups Not necessarily. NIR scanning can use the response of a material to light, which can be used to determine moisture content and to some extent the chemical composition.
One that I feel deserves an honorable mention in this category was a bbq sause that popped up on kickstarter based on the "Honey Badger don't Care" meme. Kind of like the Ms. Officer and Bear meme, it took off and a lot of people backed it. However, the creators were late on the delivery and when it did eventually ship, a lot of the bottles of Honey Badger BBQ sauce had ants in it.
Love the ending of the beef jerky story. It's nice to instances when scammers are actually called out and fail before running away with people's money. You'd think people into jerky enough to pledge on a kickstarter would know that Kobe beef would not work, especially at only 7$.
I honestly want to know how ANYONE how has ever bought jerky could have thought that it was real. Seven dollars per ounce (which includes kickstarter fees) is barely more than higher end jerky, and closer to what a customer would pay for non-dehydrated kobe beef at a restaurant. edit: and now I need to go to the store to buy some real jerky.
On a related note, when you're in the US again, being a jerky connoisseur, I'd recommend visiting a gun show if you possibly can. They always have at least one booth selling gourmet jerky you'll not likely find anywhere else.
I've heard they have gun targets for practice that look like Hispanics or black people haha the USA needs more gun owners that are not conservative 🌈 @@Esdeath_0001
I have to admit I was the opposite...I was actually a bit let down that not even one was disgusting in the slightest. I was hoping that at least one could rival or even be worse than the Yoni beer! LOL, then again I don't know if anything could and if it can, I don't know if I'd wanna know about it!
It's actually crazy how professional looking this guys's videos are. And he probably makes them all by himself. Just had to take a moment to point that out.
Well this is a boring reply, but try the Tefal Optigrill.. Whack the meat on, press a button and it cooks it rare, medium then well done. Idiot proof, and I should know!
That jerky story is such a wild ride. Imagine trying to get revenge on someone and deciding, in 100% seriousness, to make "pretend to be Quentin Tarantino" part of your plan.
Heh. I was expecting something a little different. When you said "Disgusting FOOD & DRINK Kickstarters" I was expecting Kickstarters about foods and drinks that were disgusting; not kickstarters that were disgusting, that involved food and drink
12:22 - "Hay buddy this is austin tx" - from Tom Aberdeen, just happens to be an Aberdeen in Texas, and there's gotta be some "hay" somewhere in Aberdeen, TX (or Austin, TX) - *SEEMS LEGIT.* LOL
What Tellspec was promising is literally impossible. That requires serious chemical analysis that you can't fit in a box that size, and even if you somehow DID, it would require an actual sample of the material, not just being pressed up against it.
Wow, I really want to see this Kickstarted film now. Good video as always Mr. Slopes. Any chance we'll see a video on successful and good kickstarters?
Damn man just wanna say your videos have such good production value and I've seen all of your kickstarter ones after coming off Guru Larry's channel. This is one of the most interesting ones you've done. That kobe beef jerky one is crazy. If you want to get some good jerky go to Minong, Wisconsin, if you're ever in the Midwest. It is the home of the Jack Link's factory and the local grocery store keeps a ton of fresh jerky straight from the factory and it's great. Or just make your own it's super easy once you get a food dehydrator. Shit is addictive.
the interesting thing about the grill is my mother got a meat probe sensor and uses it like that to cook meet to an exact temp-the steak is great so i can see why people would want it, my mothers been testing and she is getting the exact temp to make the meat just how my family enjoys it so i think that idea might eventually come around.
Love the Oliver! reference in your description. I once played Fagin in a production of that show. Anyway, that grill sounds like something I might have purchased. Too bad for the financial issues.
what? no, broccoli tastes better than chocolate, that's terrible idea. this was an intersting video, that kobe jerky story was great, and I'm excited for the next kickscammers video, whatever it may be on.
One of the things thats shitty about Kickstarter specifically is that if you don't reach your goal, you don't get any money. While that seems good on the surface, what it actually leads to is people low-balling how much they think they'll need when people already tend to seriously underestimate production costs and timetables.
I dunno why it didnt catch on overseas. Maybe people think that it's a treat for dog. Or maybe the idea of salted meat as a snack on a continent where there hasn't really been a need for it in a while or the lack of land dedicated to animal husbandry for this purpose. Who knows?
I've backed two kickstarters that I believed in. 1 - Tunnels and Trolls role playing game book. Book is sitting right here on my shelf. 2 - Bring back MST3K, which is one the biggest kickstarter successes. So, yeah, kickstarter is great for products that you really want to succeed, not for getting a super expensive product for cheap.

12:22 - "Hay buddy this is austin tx" - from Tom Aberdeen, just happens to be an Aberdeen in Texas, and there's gotta be some "hay" somewhere in Aberdeen, TX (or Austin, TX) - *SEEMS LEGIT.* LOL
Nice! Shin Megami Tensei 1 shopping music! Thanks for the deep cut.
8:41 You've used an image of the wrong Kickstarter campaign here!
Thanks for this. Little annoyed i didnt notice that before
@@slopesgameroom you piece of shit/s
I thought you were taking another jab at that campaign, ha ha. But yet, I did felt it was a mistake eventually.
Just what I needed, a new Kickscammers video.
What Tellspec was promising is literally impossible. That requires serious chemical analysis that you can't fit in a box that size, and even if you somehow DID, it would require an actual sample of the material, not just being pressed up against it.
The grill guy's facial movements look like an Oblivion NPC.
Wow, I really want to see this Kickstarted film now. Good video as always Mr. Slopes. Any chance we'll see a video on successful and good kickstarters?
I'm loving this Kickstarter series! Great vid as always mate :D
1) Create a kickstarter
2) Create another kickstarter
3) Use 1 to expose the other
4) Profit?!?
Great, just great...
@@crazyluigi6664 I'll blame predictive text for that one, great, just great
That stock footage of the pissed off kung-fu granny had me in stitches!!
Its from a super old heinz advert i believe lol
wow, cinder looked amazing, i really want to buy it, let's hope that somehow it will hit the markets
You should make your own beef jerky. It is not very hard at all and you will have unlimited supply that is still never enough… :D
'unlimited supply' ... from where, exactly?
“Get fed back to the military” - welcome to the US government spending .
Guru Larry in one of your videos? And you're certain you're not the same person?
For better or worse, I'm watching this right before dinner.
I'd argue better in this case...
11:42 The voiceover narrations always crack me up.
Nice touch using the Milk Bar music from Majora's Mask on the U-Bruu. ;)
Damn man just wanna say your videos have such good production value and I've seen all of your kickstarter ones after coming off Guru Larry's channel. This is one of the most interesting ones you've done. That kobe beef jerky one is crazy. If you want to get some good jerky go to Minong, Wisconsin, if you're ever in the Midwest. It is the home of the Jack Link's factory and the local grocery store keeps a ton of fresh jerky straight from the factory and it's great. Or just make your own it's super easy once you get a food dehydrator. Shit is addictive.
Damn. I would love to eat my own :) / Massive thanks mate

That BBQ at 5:24 is so fruking ADORABLE!!!
the interesting thing about the grill is my mother got a meat probe sensor and uses it like that to cook meet to an exact temp-the steak is great so i can see why people would want it, my mothers been testing and she is getting the exact temp to make the meat just how my family enjoys it so i think that idea might eventually come around.
The fact that you played a track from Shin Megami Tensei made you one of my absolute favorites.
A device that scans and tells you your foods calories. Ha. Sci-fi level idea at the moment.
I mean ,the tech is already here but not like this.
Love how the first Tellspec song in the video is the SMT shop theme
Love the Oliver! reference in your description. I once played Fagin in a production of that show. Anyway, that grill sounds like something I might have purchased. Too bad for the financial issues.
20:25 soo many "bloody" hell puns haha
If the cinder grill ever does come out and works like they say, I'd buy the hell out of it.
21:40 Is that the Shin Megami Tensei Shop theme? I love that game. Fucking sweet.
21:30 if this existed it would make my lab job obsolete.
Even with top of the line equipment it is not very easy to make these kind of analysis.
People who backed tellspec are the same kind of people who download a thermometer app.
what? no, broccoli tastes better than chocolate, that's terrible idea.
this was an intersting video, that kobe jerky story was great, and I'm excited for the next kickscammers video, whatever it may be on.
About broccoli vs. chocolate, I was thinking the same.
Laughed my ass off when that old lady started kicking everyones ass.
I felt bad for the cinder grill guy.
Completely unrelated, but thank you for the nostalgia. I got stupidly giddy when I heard the SNES Sims music haha
Gawd, that Kobe Beef Jerky one could have been an episode all of its own.
One of the things thats shitty about Kickstarter specifically is that if you don't reach your goal, you don't get any money. While that seems good on the surface, what it actually leads to is people low-balling how much they think they'll need when people already tend to seriously underestimate production costs and timetables.
Why is beef jerky so rare in the UK? It seems like the sort of thing that wouldn't be unpopular.
Probably relates to a cattle situation there, or something to that degree.
Come to MURICA WE GOT THE BEEF!!!!
I dunno why it didnt catch on overseas. Maybe people think that it's a treat for dog. Or maybe the idea of salted meat as a snack on a continent where there hasn't really been a need for it in a while or the lack of land dedicated to animal husbandry for this purpose. Who knows?
The cooking mama music was the icing on top of the cake
That chocolate broccoli thing is actually the exact example I heard at a tall about nanotechnology at school
Holy shit @12:30 the city of Austin TX became self aware and loves jerky.
The last one reminded of the "drinkable water from air".
For those curious: a Snakebite is equal parts lager and hard cider traditionally topped with blackcurrant cordial.
It's not - that's a diesel. Snakebite omits the blackcurrant.
I love the SMT music at 21:40, absolute banger
Werner Herzog promoting artisanal salt would be the strangest one for me.
7:15 Are you telling me George Foreman didn't invent the George Foreman grill? But how does it truly knock the fat out of meat without him?
KolonaRulez I thought he did
That cooking mama music gives me all the nostalgia
That cinder one is actually a really sad story
I love you and your friend's American accent impersonations. 😂😂😂
Ahh, that Tim Follin music at the end. So good.
Jerky is pretty easy to make if you have a dehydrator. It's not super cost effective, but if the alternative is "fly to America" I'd go for it.
Damn you d.j you got years of episodes how am i going to watch each one lol. Thanks as always d.j hands down my fav youtube show.
That Kobe jerky story is fantastic
In the US a snakebite is Southern Comfort and lime juice in a small rocks glass but I'm sure its something else in the UK.
love sneaking in SNES Sim City music there!
You have good ears
I caught it, too! I swear to God I also heard Ratatouille.
I've backed two kickstarters that I believed in. 1 - Tunnels and Trolls role playing game book. Book is sitting right here on my shelf. 2 - Bring back MST3K, which is one the biggest kickstarter successes. So, yeah, kickstarter is great for products that you really want to succeed, not for getting a super expensive product for cheap.
Or if you already have business experience, but you need the proof of interest or whatever to make it work effectively.
Sometimes, stupidity can cost an arm and a leg.
