Can confirm, we Puerto Ricans recycle containers and put easily opened cookies and cereals in the refrigerator to prevent ants and roaches from going in there.
@@emanymton713 That's why you use clothespin on the foil bag... I mean I'm a tropical third worlder and I know dry food aren't mean to be stored cold and humid.
@@victoriazero8869 That's what I was about to say...cereal in the fridge is pretty stupid,it'll ruin the cereal and there's no real need If you wanna keep ants away from it just close the plastic bag that they come in really tight with a clothespin
i was gonna say we had a bad bug issue when i was little, sometimes the raisins weren't raisins. so we put the cereal in the fridge when we could. eventually my mom started getting those huge bags of cereal, and we'd roll them up well and just use clothing pins to keep them sealed, i know most of those have like the resealable thing but my brother was always tearing through that. also what do you mean by foil bag? never heard of such a thing.
From the American South. Sewing kit in a biscuit/cookie tin is more common than there actually being pastries, and reusing randome plastic containers is perfectly normal... though it helps to mark them with a sharpie or something. And the oven makes for a great spot to store pans XD
Yup, that's just normal for everyone who is not a hipster and or tupperware addict. But that's the irony of plastic containers. Somehow humans thought: Why not use this material that lasts forever for one use disposable stuff? Flawless logic. If you protect those from UV light, as in store them in a kitchen cabinet or fridge they will last very long. But with how thin thy are I would assume they would get extremely brittle within a few weeks outside. At least in sunnier places. But kitchen cabinets are typically not very sunny. At least those tins are infinitely recyclable. Metal just accumulates impurities which can be filtered out again. Plastic significantly degrades on the molecular level (from every day stresses like UV light or temperature changes), that's more complicated. So after a few rounds of recycling it isn't good for anything besides burning anymore. Which is better then dumping it because dumping it leaves tiny plastic particles in the environment for decades.
There's a certain level of newness where finding cookies in those tins is acceptable. After that new-tin sheen wears off, it's really confusing to find food in the sewing tin.
@@DrSlobGoblin the only time it is acceptable to find cookies in there is when you grab it at the store. Once it reaches home, it becomes a sewing kit.
lmao mousey asking connor to ~stayyyyy~ and eat food on her stream, she's too cute. also, goddang STUFF IN THE OVEN drives me nuts, someday i'll have enough storage space so the oven is empty, that's when I'll consider myself successful in life.
Conner is right that the cookie tin with the sewing supplies (or the old games) is universal. I would add that the butter container (sour cream too) with leftovers is also universal among those family's strapped for cash.
Nah my family was the thankfully pretty well off financially, and our fridge ALWAYS had butter containers of leftovers because my parents had two hungry ass teenage boys to feed lol.
I have not ever heard of anybody put cereal in the fridge that's wild to me pff sewing kit in the biscuit tin is the connector to all cultures pff Edit: after mouse said her mom puts cerial in the fridge I got an ad that opened up with "what a r e the causes of D i a r r h o e a ?" AHDHHAHA
Puerto Rico has an average humidity of 80%, if you leave sugar coated things outside the fridge, you'll quickly end up with a lump of half melted sugary mess. Listen to your parents, life experience means something.

@@marcioamaral7511 The higher you live the less chance you have to encounter pests. They like the ground floor. Also every country doesn't have the same pests.
Holly shit, it's the same here. And the worst part is that in Brazil we eat so much beans that it's not in the butter pot anymore, it's the freaking ICECREAM POT! 1,5~2L OF PURE FROZEN BLACK OR BROWN BEANS! Imagine the cruelty of a kid in the 40ºC summer of the Brazilian coast opening it's freezer and thinking "FUCK YEAH, WE HAVE ICECREAM!" only to learn that it's fucking beans.
The more I listen to Ironmouse and Koe talk about Puerto Ricans, the more I'm convinced that Puerto Ricans and the PA Dutch are the same because it sounds like my family.
@@aurochtamerI believe that “Dutch” is a corruption of “Deutsch”, which is German for, well, German. Since the Pennsylvania Dutch were originally a reclusive German immigrant sect in the 17th century, this is probably where it cones from. (Philadelphia native here)
My mom puts leftovers in cottage cheese tins, cause they're a pretty good size for like enough potato or protein for two meals, so just right for her and dad. So sometimes at first glance you'd think they eat a LOTTA cottage cheese. lol
My grandma would put cereal in the fridge too and even my mom to this day would put sewing materials inside of those cookie tins Also about the cereal the main reason why Puerto Ricans put it inside the fridge is because not many have ACs but also there’s this little bug (idk the name) that can sneak into the cereal boxes and eat what’s inside
Maybe not the cereal on the fridge (edit:Not as common not that she’s wrong) but putting beans where the butter is at is true, sometimes in a cookie container you can find coffee in there. No container goes to waste…
The sewing kit in the biscuit tin is truly universal. The leftovers in old containers was also common (often it was small sour cream buckets), mom used to use those to pack lunch before work. I have a bunch of jars saved up, most stuff is in jars (I had to put the smoked and regular paprika in jars. Stupid bugs kept ruining it). I also have a bunch of them on my wardrobe in my room, right alongside a bunch of fliptop bottles. So every morning I'm met with a view of empty jars and bottles right next to giant black candle shaped like a penis (a birthday present from my friend).
Beans in the butter box is real though, my mom bought Tupperware like once and then decided it wasn't worth it and just reused all the deli meat containers and country crock and whatever for leftovers
Nothing wrong with eating salads. It's a good filler food more so if you mix in proteins and some carbs cause then your eating (tomato/fruit)(veggies/salad essentials)(proteins/chicken)(carbs/croutons) good food and helps lose weight.
Nah, they're a shit foot propped up my myths of the health food industry. Salads can actually lead to cravings later in the day because they don't have enough fiber or proteins most of the time to actually fill you up. Even large salads that are saturated with calories are known to leave eaters wanting more food soon after. Skip the salad and have an actual balanced meal with carbs, fats, and protein.
As someone who grew up with half my family white and the other half Mexican, using cookie/biscuit containers as normal storage is common practice for both sides of the family.
Yeah So placing the cereal in the fridge is a Latino thing? Just like bathing? I remember when connor said that he doesn't bathe regularly how he confirmed those european stereotypes
The cereal thing is weird. Everything else is just universal (like a sewing kit being in the Dutch butter cookie tin) or normal poor/working class thing like the beans in butter tubs. And the butter thing is a boomer thing. Gen X doesn't put it on the plate and just keeps in in the foil/wax paper wrapper. And millennial who knows they are an eclectic bunch but mostly keep it in the tub (making the leftover in butter tubs all the more frustrating what looking for butter or vise a versa) or package or like Gen X in the wrapper.
I ALWAYS put the bag of cereal in the fridge. So does my mom and so does my dad. Pretty sure it's to avoid having ants get in there Edit: Why is everyone in the replies acting as if seeing ants is weird? You guys are talking as if you've never seen one in your lives
Same. I've always lived in apartments and the sucky part is like you can be the cleanest person in the world and you get one neighbor with roaches and boom you've got roaches now too.
At least make sure the title is the main topic of the video? I was kinda interested in that but all it was was a brief "there's beans where the butter goes and the cereal is in the fridge" moment at the end... Mind, I enjoyed the video and the edit. I just feel a little misled. 😅
Just do what we do: Buy Tupperware containers for your chips, cereal, and dry pet food. Like you'd do for sugar and flour. I store my baking sheets and metal 13x9s in the oven. Doesn't everyone?
Get glass bowls for leftovers and then double bag your cereal and here you get roaches and 🐜🦗 in wheat 🌾 whevail in rice and 🌾 alot of natural here or rodents in your cupboard snakes black windows etc...
Ironmouse... idk what to say other than as a fellow Boricua, I have NEVER heard nor seen someone put the cereal in the fridge. clip makes sense, everything else sounded 100% familiar too, but Cereal in the Fridge?? I second Connor's words, that's weird lol.
@@blackauu you put cereal boxes in the fridge? If you don't mind me asking, why? Because I've legit never heard of anyone doing that until this video. And I lived just about everywhere, from Caseríos to Montañas to Cities like Guaynabo.

That is understandble
Mexicans too, but maybe not to the same degree. Probably due to the lack of humidity in the North.
I can confirm this lmao I do the same shet with my sugar too xD
i do the same thing sometimes and im not even Puerto Rican
The little butter cups are reused as coffee cups
Sewing kit in biscuit can is universal across the globe
As for cereal in the fridge, boomer moms seems to believe refrigeration solves all issues lol
For me, it's usually pins in a mints tin.
It’s to keep bugs out of the cereal

We dont mark them with sharpies. We just spend 20 minutes opening them all until we find the right one

Cereal in the fridge will ruin the cereal,better to seal the bag really tight with a clothespin because dry foods aren't meant to be stored like that.
yeah i feel the fridge will make cereal soggy, but if they live in places where bugs came out for u food i can uderstand.
Warmer climates tend to have more bugs and vermin that will come after any food left out. Fridge is the safest place to store it.

Cereal in the cupboard is a good way to get ants.
Better to seal that with a clothespin so moisture doesn't get in, then put it in the fridge
