      @singingfan I hope they go under. They are expensive to be expensive. Might as well eat a shiny 20 dollar apple in front of someone starving. That's what that horrid place stands for.

    • @alosialee
      @alosialee 7 months ago +11

      Yo that would actually be cool. Refine the recipe of the without a recipe concept into something not just edible but actually good... Could even do this one in stages... All the last place, 3rd, 2nd, and then do a final season of all the 1st place wins.... Oh oh oh! Or can even do it by episode and try to remake all 4 to see if it can be turned into a viable recipe and then have family, friends, and the try guys, gals, and nb pals taste test and judge if the remake is worthy and if the original win or lose placement gets changed at all.

    the cheaper chicken baby food is what we use at my work at a kitten nursery for the 4-8week olds that refuse to eat their wet food, so be glad jonny that you are enjoying the same diet as Cloud, Gus, and Toast the five week old kittens.

    Typically not one to comment re: sponsors, but as a Bombas sock donation recipient, all I can say is thank you. They are the best pair of socks I've ever had and they came at Christmas, as a package tucked into a food box. I am so grateful to everyone who supports their project. Good quality warm socks are something everyone needs. I'd never be able to buy them on my own. Thank you Jonny and thank you Bombas.

    • @ajnebula6622
      @ajnebula6622 7 months ago +17

      Glad to know they're actually doing good. Have heard too many stories of similar companies doing the buy one another gets donated. And it doing more harm than good for the people who received the donation.

    • @dmreddragon6
      @dmreddragon6 6 months ago +1

      Sometimes I don't even know exactly what the "food" is, but the smell makes me retch so bad my stomach hurts. The assault on my nose is like someone is cooking meat with hair, or feathers on it.
      I felt bad for Jonnycakes, with the baby food.

    • @hedwigoldenkamp8368
      @hedwigoldenkamp8368 5 months ago +4

      I don't know what kind of babyfood the US sells, but having a one year old, I felt like he was a tad dramatic. The worst thing I can say about it, is that it's bland. But where I'm from there is little difference between cheap or expensive jars because the rules for babyfood are so strict, so I moght be working with a totally different frame of reference and the food he's eating might be awful 😅

  • @daisytg
    @daisytg 7 months ago +331

    6:13 I can attest that Bombas most definitely does donate their socks to charity. My elderly father is on a very tight fixed income and is fortunate enough to get help from a county program delivering him 5 frozen meals once a week (similar to the meals on wheels program) for about a year now. This past December he was also given a “gift bag” of sorts from the same program that had various items, a blanket, cutting board, etc including a pair of Bombas. They were unfortunately too small for him so he gave them to me for Christmas. They are incredibly comfortable and it was as nice to see something in real time that you hear about a company claiming to do. 20 out of 10 stars to Bombas!! ✨⭐️🌟

    • @thejonnycakes

    • @ExcludedShadow
      @ExcludedShadow 7 months ago +25

      I needed a lot of help in high school, and got bombas socks in many of my care packs. They have held up amazingly to the point I still own all but one pair I received.

    • @laurieann2714
      @laurieann2714 7 months ago +10

      I try to purchase from companies that give back and support causes I believe in and Bombas is one of them! Plus the quality is really good!

    • @thumbs_are_handy
      @thumbs_are_handy 7 months ago

      ​@vizzzyy190 A friend of mine who spent time staying at a shelter has received socks from Bombas. According to that friend, occupants of the shelter were allowed 1 pair per month and the donations were made directly by Bombas.
      That said, in my friend's experience this only happens at large shelters in dense urban areas. Smaller shelters in suburban and rural areas generally do not receive donations from Bombas.

    @CiaránSparks 7 months ago +52

    Something you also have to consider about jerky as a person whose made it: the wet stuff (you called it meatier) doesnt keep nearly as well and usually needs refrigeration. The drier it is, the better and longer it keeps overall! With jerky thats the name of the game. Plus with long trips or events (like hunting, where i needed it the most) the dry stuff lasts WAY longer. You can eat a pound of it over a couple hours easy and it keeps you from getting hungry as easily vs the wetter being fast to eat and not filling.

  • @Emmuzka
    @Emmuzka 7 months ago +41

    In my country they developed strawberries that were sweeter, tastier and more durable. The problem was that they were uglier. People wouldn't buy ugly ones even if they'd taste them first. As domestic strawberries in here are so labor-intensive that the only way them to be profitable is to sell them straight to consumers and not to food industry, the future for the ugly strawberries is not looking good.

    • @smithmarina970
