“We eat vegan 98% of the time, but I’m gonna choose a recipe that has a lot of cheese in it and then complain about all the cheese, even though I had 100% control over the meal choices”
Yeah I don't get this.... Hello Fresh has a vegan option
Was also thinking this lol but imma be quiet
I literally came to the comments right after she said this lmfaooo
🤭 🤭 exactly my thoughts!
I thought she was gonna say they didn’t send her what she ordered Lol
😂
I came here looking for a good review but whewww the comments are not holding back lmao
Lmfao same
Me 3...
I don’t understand why they’re all so harsh for no reason
lol same
@@kia-er2po No reason? I think you should actually read the entirety of the comments.
I like, don't eat dairy. So I got a dish with a lot of dairy. That way I had something to talk about.
Ctfu!🤣🤣🤣
Exactly, they were criticizing when they were the ones that chose the recipes 😶
Ew cheeese... lol just kidding. Cheese is life.
they didn’t know you could choose recipes, honest mistake
So like don't add cheese I'm dead
"wasn't organic" well they don't claim to be, so i don't see how this is a negative, it simply doesn't fit YOUR criteria
I think you'll find it's "not orgnaic" lol

honestly in America there's really no such thing as real organic food lmao
@@shywol6044 actually yes there is, there organic vegetables. All organic really means is that there isn't force fed antibiotics and free range or no pesticides used
@@selenahall6643 but in the US, things don't have to be 100% organic to have the organic label on it. plus something could say "made with organic ingredients" and while that may be true, it was still most likely mixed in with non organic ingredients as well. it's hard to tell what's really organic or not
You get to choose your meals, why choose options you know you won't love?
they must have not had a lot of options for that week
You definitely get to choose. This is so weird to me.
I was thinking the same thing definitely when she kept talking about the cheese. Like why would you pick something with so much cheese if you don’t eat cheese. Just doesn’t make sense to me.
@@bizzstickers6810 you also get the option to skip a week if you don't like the options for said week. 🤷🏼♀️
@@bahays1985 If you're vegan your options are severly limited.
Why are you reviewing the recipes like u didnt choose them Lol 💀
I’m laughing so hard because I just wanted to see reviews of this brand and I clicked on this video not expecting the more dislikes than likes ratio LOL
Rip. I clicked on this video hoping it would be a good review but nice they removed dislikes so I have no clue.
@@Broccoli_32 the last time i checked, it was at like 4.5k dislikes. i can imagine it’s probably at 5,000+ dislikes and only 1,200 likes at the moment lol
@@Broccoli_32 EXACTLY!
This is why RUclips is dumb for removing the dislikes. It’s a good indication whether the video holds any value or not, thus I will not have to sit through stupid irrelevant, negative or biased videos.
@@balazs7235 fookin preach brother, you aint never lied twinn!
@@Broccoli_32 there are websites that let you see how many dislikes there are
I watched this video, the day I ordered Hello Fresh and I began to think... omg what did i do.
But now that I have received my Hello Fresh I think this couple is just very negative. Hello fresh came right to my door, everything was organized and well packed, the meals our fantastic and I just think for busy families this is fantastic, quick, healthy and easy to follow. And also after having such a good experience I would recommend it and also buy for others as a gift. Im cooking the Beef and Roasted Red Pepper Ragout tonight... smells delicious!!!!
hello fresh is a scam and way overpriced (and quantities are extremely low) vs the price of the supermarket, in the end you don't even gain time, you still have to prepare and cook, bs
you mean small busy families with money
Orders a pasta with cheese "why is there pasta and cheese, so unhealthy". 😂
😂😂😂😂
Honestly if i the one who buy that , that would be soo tasty
FRR
If it has too much cheese for me I would use half & save the rest for another meal.
Exactly!
"Concerned with the amount of cheese" is something that will never come out of my mouth 😂 I usually need to add extra cheese to my hello fresh meals.
same with "what i dont like about this dish is it's quite high in salt".... use less salt? 🤷 my first hello fresh box is coming tomorrow, im excited to try it, i picked only meals i knew i'd enjoy.
You must be so unfit!
They have vegan options. Can’t believe they would say they are vegan and complain about the amount of cheese in it lmaooo
Omg.. I’m so glad they found each other. I feel so sorry for their friends
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Thats a bold statement, cant be many other people living near their righteous off grid self sufficient 92.7% vegan 107.5% organic home. I want to get off.
Lol!
if they even have any
They are a great couple. I’m sure they spend their weekends judging everyone on their morning walks.
I was thinking the same thing LOL
LOL HA!! I ALMOST spit out my vegan breakfast reading this lol too funny.
Lmfao!! They complain about too much packaging!! Like bruh 🤦🏻♂️ gtfo
@@JP_IN_TX Why does it matter if your breakfast is vegan?
@@taenimin Thanks for the response. I see you lack satire. Just a comment.
So basically you decided you didn’t like it before the delivery man knocked the door...
Exactly! She reviewed it to satisfy her need to dislike 👎 and complain why she did a review for to see her self in camera. She the one you don’t want as a guest.
She expected some kind of 5 Star Restaurant level food of course she was disappointed it’s a food delivery service, they’re trying to please normal people not high class food critics.
@@settratheimperishable7800 i think hello fresh more like a simple pack of food for someone that lazy to go to the grocery store and don’t really know how to make some food
😂😂😂😂😂
@@recently1897 well not just that some people who are just starting off cooking or trying to learn how to cook things this can help them learn if they don't know how to cook certain things not only that it can make cooking enjoyable.
I'm just amazed how well suited this couple is lol made for each other
I seenno kids, heard no kids, so with some good luck, lord won't allow them to multiply. Can you all imagine how boring thier love ife is?
@@confusedoilpainter3294😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello fresh has the option of ordering vegan... so I’m a bit confused why she ordered the dairy meals if she doesn’t like them...
also, the packaging is necessary. The whole point is that they’re pre-measured recipes and portions so everything has to be separated accordingly. If everything had just been dumped into the box with no wrapping to separate it then you would’ve been confused and upset, also it wouldn’t have stayed fresh if it wasn’t packaged properly. A lot of packaging is necessary when you order meals online. If you want to avoid that, don’t order, go to the grocery store yourself.
I'm a bit confused why people use Hello Fresh in the first place.
@@growingmelancholy8374 For the convenience I guess. They want home cooked meals without the hassle of grocery shopping, meal planning, and measuring. Basically cooking with only the fun part of cooking.
We are heading into a climate crisis, and the last thing we want is more plastic waste. Is this service really a "necessities"?
@@sc3192 yes
Most accurate comment ever!
You can change ur meal preference into vegan or pescatarian if u want doe - it gives u all vegan recipes
@@elaenamusitano you're the type of vegans that people don't like. Let people eat what they want and don't discriminate someone for eating meat and calling it 'dead animal meals'.
@@elaenamusitano You sounded like a Karen through text good job
@@elaenamusitano you're like one of vegan extremists that behave like cults
@@elaenamusitano ushould live in the forest
Yep it does! I’m trying it for the first time this weekend and chose “Family” for my daughter and myself. Didn’t take long to figure out I could change some of the recipes for others and not just premium. It also tells you what ingredients are in each meal and how many calories etc it is!
I've never seen a review with so much complaining and nitpicking. You can literally choose the recipes and what you decide to put in or leave out of them but I mean why not just whinge about it all instead
i agree shes just woke brat
It’s almost like they purposely chose the foods they didn’t like so they could leave a bad review hmmmmm
this - it sounds like she wanted vegan xD she could have chosen vegan instead... and... maybe add effin rice xD
the customer service is fucking terrible. missing ingredients, total obfuscation of responsibility, a terrible experience. WTF drugs r u on
@@kellymcgrath5541 Sorry but I have never had any issues at all.
from personal experience, hello fresh does let you customize the meals and choose them or change them weekly, it’s up to the person to see if what they offer is a right fit. Overall their style of foods is pretty good for me, and i like the thoughtfulness since id probably never make dishes like these on my own hehe
I’m really allergic to cheese and I do hello fresh. I just don’t choose the cheesy food option because I’ll get sick. My husband and I also eat really clean we only eat the carbs that we are allowed with on our macros. You can tweak the recipes to fit your lifestyle. It’s not hard.
When the guy said "It's too salty," I immediately thought, "Aren't you the one cooking and controlling the portions?"🤦♂
You literally get to select your one meals. Like everyone else I’m confused why you’d pick something you don’t eat.
Man, I bet you guys are really fun to be around.
Lol, agree
Lol, my exact thoughts
well shes giving a honest review how does have to do with her as a person
@@lucas956 she basically setup the company for failure for her review. most of her negative points this video are things that could’ve been solved before (things like choice of meals and vegan options). it really just shows her character when she makes all these complaints over things that could have been dealt with before

Why did you choose those recipes? If you don't eat so much cheese and prefer veggies, you should have chosen different recipes...
I was jus about to say that
I didn't realize you could choose recipes :D
@@CatchyCravings it will preselect the top 3 recipes when you go to review your week’s dinner box. Simply deselect them by tapping the - (minus) button on the left where it says “# in your box” unless of course you want the selected recipe for one of your dinners. You should have over 20+ (I stopped counting after 20) different recipes available to you to choose from if you want to avoid the cheesy recipes. Don’t feel embarrassed, it took me a minute to figure out the app/website and how it works.
I think the lesson here is to not assume anything.
To be fair it's not obvious you can change the recipes, the site could definitely help you there on your first menu
If you don’t eat cheese that often, don’t put that much ✨ cheese ✨ in it
hahahha
Lmao seriously
XD thats all they had to say HAHAHA XDDDDDDDDD kill meplease
They're probably not together. Dude couldnt take the once a month sex and the vegan agenda. Ive never seen a guy simp so hard hes willing to......imbjust going to leave it at that.
This feels like a 13-minute ad on Veganism.
Or like a 13-minute ad on Vulgarism.
On 97.5% of the 13 minutes mind.
"I'm concerned about the amount of cheese, we don't really eat dairy " proceeds to sprinkle more cheese on top of pasta
You an your bf are perfect for each other. I almost shot myself in the head with your complaining about 5 min into the review. You’re seriously going to save the world not eating cheese and complaining about plastic.
LMAOO
Lmaoooooo you made my day.
Lmaoooooo you really made my day lol
I dunno man, I agree that some of the criticisms were a bit nitpicky but this seems like a pretty extreme response, no?
What are you talking about?
Why would you buy non vegan things and complain about them...facepalm. Such a first world struggle.
I tried Hello Fresh this month, and honestly, i didn't know you could change the recipes either. I thought you would just get 3 random meals based on your initial selection (normal/vegan/fast). Only once a colleague (who uses it as well) told me i could edit the box before the delivery, i picked the recipes i would like.
@@NyteMyre When you're doing an "honest review" you shouldn't do it haphazardly. And you're saying that you can choose vegan at the start, so they purposefully didn't order vegan and then complained for no reason.
Did you choose your meals or did you just go with whatever they picked? Because you do have a choice. From your video it doesn’t seem like you know that.
Apparently she didn't know u could choose recipes
Good thing Hello Fresh isn’t a store, she’d go right to the manager. People are just so ridiculous. You can have your own opinions but my god
She said some “it’s no big deal really it’s just that they said it’ll be 45 minutes and it took an hour” 👁👄👁 girl if you complain at stores a lot just say that
> saves time from not going to the grocery store
> Complains it takes slightly longer to cook the meal
@@MiguelRPD also responsible for cooking the meal
unworldly pretentious levels. i just wanted to find out if the meals were worth the meal price and how they would come in the mail.
Looks like it all depends on UPS whether the meals come fresh or not
Damn you two are perfect for each other, I could barely even see you from on top of your high horse.
"doesnt have alot of fiber" SO get some frozen Broccoli and steam it takes 5 minutes and u can add it to the pasta
Why do that when you can just complain!!!!!!
Literally hello fresh has that option, these idiots ordered shit specifically to complain about it
“Honey, I feel like getting a bit frisky tonight…let’s try missionary!” 😐
LOL
You guys are not holding back in the comments section!!! LMAO - My people.
Lmaoooooooo
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Calm down...i can hear the complaining already
45 mins but you did it in an hour. Girl then hurry tf up 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one annoyed with all the complaining
Dead
Like wowww 15 extra minutes 😂
Probably the easiest "dislike" I've ever given.
HAHA SAME!!!
#THEWORLDSMOSTBORINGCOUPLE. Do not operate heavy machinery after talking to these two at a dinner party.
I cut off my finger after I watched this video
I cant stop laughing lol
Thats a bold statement, cant be many other people living near their righteous off grid self sufficient 92.7% vegan 107.5% organic home to even put that to the test, I want to get off.
“Grossly cheesy” sounds like an oxymoron too me.
Leave Oxy out of this 😂
Yes I am a dad
@@DwaineWoolley 😂 god dammit
Yep! Absolutely no such thing as too much cheese! And no amount is gross!
Yeah
Well I received my first box today. I ordered the duck tagliatelle, lamb and aubergine curry and the Cajun sea bass.
I’m excited to try it and with the discount I got it was cheaper then heading to Sainsbury’s to do a shop.
I've been happy
We have tried, probably, 50 or 60, different meals from Hello Fresh. We have liked every one. We have duplicated some of our favorites. There is no wasted food or leftovers, but there is a lot of packaging.
same with my fam
I've am finishing up my own trial of Hello Fresh. I do agree they take more time to make (for the most part) than I wanted to take. I was able to pick the meals I wanted (ordered on a laptop rather than a device, so I don't know if that makes a difference). Much of the packaging can be recycled - box, paper bags, the freezer pack that comes with the US box - didn't see one of those in yours. Unfortunately, yes, plastic pouches that can't be recycled.
I ordered for a few weeks, just to get a range of the experience. I didn't dislike any of the recipes yet (two more to eat). Since I don't care for tree nuts, I left them out. Sorry, I already know I don't like nuts crawling around in my string beans!
Portion sizes were appropriately marked.
I am canceling, however. I am one person, and while I was happy enough to make two meals out of any item, I don't want to keep doing that. Plus, I want to try Green Chef next. Maybe in a month.
PS -- 2 ads for Hello Fresh during you review!!
One thing I enjoyed was the wide range of citrus zest employed in these recipes... I'll be bringing this into my own cooking. Also that all the produce and seafood and meats were very fresh. (I mostly ordered vegetarian however.) The only complaint is that the tomatoes are tasteless, but as one who normally only buys them in season, locally, I was not surprised.
What about the cost in comparison to just going out and grocery shopping at the store, is it worth it?
The meal said 45 minutes but we spent an ENTIRE FIFTEEEN MORE MINUTESSSS - u have to understand cooking isn't so precise, especially if u prepare it, everybody slices and chops at different speeds, and take their time
So why did you choose Hello fresh if you are vegan
Right ? Alot of the things she said didn’t make sense
@@less4650 then unsubscribe it’s that simple 😂
@@keshneealixe who the fuck said I was subscribed? I legit just came across this video randomly lmaoo
Meal kit delivery are life saving in a food desert.
I've been trying several boxed meals before and it's been interesting knowing how to cook new food items , fresh vegetables and spices and learning techniques, incredibly low cost and having great ingredients quality so far ! People who think it's expensive come to our place and see how expensive food is getting in rural Canada ... 79$ per week ( HelloFresh) is nothing when we usually spend 450$ per week. It's life saving, convenient, amusing & you can keep the recipes to make them later 😄🙌🏼 Very excited to start another journey 🍔
i totally agree with! I live near maryland and honestly everything is so expensive. We go out to eat cause it gets busy in the week and no time for grocery shopping and planning. It's so much better to have everthing just prepared and list all out for you. I don't get the hate from her hahaha
So just to comment on the shipping part, they arrive at the UPS warehouse in a refrigerated trailer, we don't unload them until a few hours before they are loaded into the package car, and usually when I would deliver these boxes, they'd still be on the cooler side. The issue that would most frequently arise is people who would need to sign for it and not be home, because we don't have the equipment to refrigerate it once it arrives back at our facility (the refrigerated trailers they arrive in don't belong to us). So if you are getting the box on the first delivery attempt, it should be fine. On the 2nd attempt, I'm not so sure, and on the 3rd attempt I'd say it's very unlikely to be fresh.
She does live in a different country, so I can't say it's the exact same, but that's what I've got to say on the US side of it.
Thank you so much for the helpful info! :)
@@Unknowntyper As opposed to when food is shipped to a grocery store in the same trailer and hundreds of people drive to and from each store daily?
@@Unknowntyper okay then tell ups to accept without a signature. It's on you to do that.
They have an entire vegan section on their website so I'm not sure why you two didn't go with those options exclusively. The packaging is all recyclable (paper/cardboard/plastic...no styrofoam from what I saw here) so I'm not sure where the complaints about the packaging comes from. I'm trying to decide if I want to use this company or not so I was looking for honest reviews on the service/products and I unfortunately stumbled upon 13 minutes of you two complaining about things that either don't matter (packaging) or were your own fault (not ordering vegan)...smh
I could never hang around these people. Such complainers. BTW if your willing to eat cheese, your not vegan. Just saying. You guys seem like such a fun couple LOL Just kidding ;) Good gracious
She didnt say they were vegan. She said they eat vegan most of the time, theres a difference.
Hmm they genuinely did not come across as complainers to me, more I thought they made a very coscientious effort to describe perceived pros/cons based on *their* values. But a part of it might be that us Europans just express ourselves differently from North Americans 😅
@@tina_kovacova Perhaps. Didn't think of that :)
I agree. I have no clue why she complained so much about the cheese and pasta. She clearly choose the vegetarian option. That part is confusing for most of us lol
@@TheBabylane2 really, you gotta be kidding me.
Geez. I’ve never seen someone criticize every little thing
I was pleasantly satisfied with Hello Fresh. I'm in a rural area so I appreciate the packaging. They give you so many choices that one can find and create the types of meals that fit them.
Vegan choices are available so this revue seems a little skewed to me.
I'm not in any way connected to Hello Fresh, I just enjoyed it.
I would like to see your tastier, healthier, environmental friendly, organic, vegan dinners. Post videos of you making them.
Exactly!!!! My goodness! Just eat the damn food!! They said the meals tasted good so just eat!
You mean like this video? ruclips.net/video/1704rj5OxFA/видео.html. They did exactly what you asked! 😅
@@kelil1750 it’s almost like they’re making a video review of the food… lol
Love hello fresh! We’ve been using it for the past 5 years just about every week!! My packaging is a little different than that. Great company!
So I’m in the military in the barracks and we don’t have an oven. Do all the meals require an oven or can you choose ones that are stove top only?
Looking past the complaints about packaging it was informative and I decided to go through with it to try for myself. Thanks!
We love it, we do the 4 meals, for 2 people. Me and wife cook this our days off work.
Damn I was skeptical but when she said too much cheese I knew we couldn’t be friends
Good critique!! I got a lot out of this. Im on day 6 of The Master Cleanse, ( 10 days total) so Im looking for healthy lifestyle options. when I am done cleansing. In some ways it would be nice to have the meals come to me, but,,,,, I want to eat a little healthier since Im taking the trouble to cleanse, Im so tempted right now thou :)
Also I had ordered groceries from Whole Foods once & was discouraged with the way they had a huge full sized grocery bag for each item,..even a sole avocado. So I know what you mean about packaging, but I bet it is hard to run a company like that without the packaging.
I find it funny how everyone is complaining about her complaining 🤣the irony
It's like a window seat at starbucks.
Probably because her complaints are stupid. If she’s vegan, hello fresh has plenty of vegan options. She is right that they have way too things packed in plastic. I got a meal from them with carrots and each carrot had its own plastic bag. Her complaining about how unhealthy it is is also stupid since, you pick the meals you want. I found the portions too small with lots of inexpensive ingredients. The meal cost 3x more than if you bought the ingredients separately and made it on your own.
i think people complain because a) she clearly was overwhelmed by the (honestly quite simple) ordering and customization process and b) complaining about random made up criteria for example. Hello Fresh don't claim to be organic, so how is selling non-organic food bad? also that whole bullshit about organic and non-organic shows people slept in school chemistry... all fucking food is organic, it's fucking carbohydrates
@Fuck Your Opinions About Me Lmao 🤣 weirdo
@@najabellaa3151 don’t you love how these 12 year olds with accounts like to act tough with the keyboard?
Thank you. I trust your review because you were nit picking. so many people do reviews and are gentle with criticism. if i wanted to hear all the positives about Hello Fresh then i would just watch the ads.
glad you found it helpful :)
Thanks for your honest review just ordered my 4x2 kit from HF
I'm binge-watching from your first video to your current one and of course no skipping of ads❤
This man love him some vegetables. Okay so basically if you have a certain diet it may not be a good choice. For those who just want a dinner solution go for it. I'm going to season all of that stuff to my liking anyways.
I get these meals and if I think there's too many carbs, I won't add the grain when I cook. Works every time
Although I like having everything sent to my door to cook myself (I wanna learn to cook more complex stuff but I'm pretty indecisive about what to get), the price in here is pretty high, around 12 USD per serving plus shipping, which makes it almost as expensive as getting food outside, so.
We cook up several days worth of pasta and store it in the fridge. When we're ready for dinner, we steam vegetables in a pan and put the pre-cooked pasta in with the vegetables until everything is hot. Then, we put it all in a bowl, add some butter, salt, and pepper - stir - and - voila! We add grated parmesan to taste. A side of order of good, toasted country bread can round out the meal, if needed.
Cheap, quick, and easy to make. You might call it: 'Hello Cheap'!
lol true.. I have like 50 coupons of this service and I am finally considering using it
The simultaneous “hmms” after biting is so funny
:D
It’s almost like they like it, but don’t want to 😂
You made a great review. It's great for people who don't know how to cook and are looking for an easy way to make a good meal.
yes, I can imagine hello fresh being a good option for someone who would like to learn to cook more and would like to save some time on meal planning :)
Thank you for this review. I found it to be very helpful. :)
Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Looked delish.
happy to:)
Bet they’re a bundle of fun at the dinner party 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I only have micro wave fork spone. butter nife...yes or no....Is this for me before I go try it
So you rather pay extra then goto the grocery store (1 time) to buy ingredients for weeks ?
I love how not a single one was superior enough for them I eat fricken ramen for lunch sometimes my apologies they weren't wrapped in gold and gourmet 5 star restaurant meals
I don't think that she's nitpicking - she's giving extremely through and honest review, I'd expect that most people would like to know about these things if they'd consider this service - yes, they always could order it and see it for themselves, but most people look up the reviews first and if I'd consider the service, I'd be thankful for her honesty and specific review as I'm not someone who trusts products (etc) easily.
I just started Hello Fresh. Today will be my second meal. First meal lasted for two days since I am just cooking for myself right now. Because I am just cooking for myself I tended to eat out a lot or eat prepared or processed foods and I see after years that it is not good for me. So ... what to do? I thought I'd try Hello Fresh since it was also advertised on the Thom Hartmann show.
In general I like the idea, and so far, after just 1 meal I like the food. I do not like the amount of packaging involved, and the frozen ice that they just tell you to pour into your garbage. I have a hard time with that, but this is the first way I have been able to regulate my eating in a reasonable way - so, I think I will stick with it for a while.
I had to chuckle at an Asian lady wanting to add rice ... where's the rice. My girlfriend is the same way. What you cooked looks really good. I decided already to renew and try to the vegetarian package next week.
I really need something like this, otherwise I just eat too much unhealthy food.
For anyone watching this… just know you CAN add or subtract anything you want lmfao🤣
@JayLeeBeanz then you could ADD it right back my friend, lil glimpse of dualism
@JayLeeBeanz true😂
Ditto. Thank you for the review. I enjoyed your honesty 🌻
happy I could help :)
Do they have Hello Fresh gift cards? I would love to get some during Christmas for a few meals. I'm not sure about a long term commitment.
Depending on the promo HelloFresh runs at the time, first time users usually get their first box free or at a 50% discount like I did!
@@d.enae_ ay help me out how much did it cost you in total, did you do 4 weeks worth?? Thx
The only thing I'm wondering about is if they have dairy free and gluten free options for those of us that have to avoid certain ingredients to maintain our health?
That curry does look good ... I bet the rice starch extends the meal to about double the calories though, what rice does best. Now I am looking forward to my next delivery of the Vegan/Veggie plan.
I appreciate your opinion but both of you come across as rather smug
"Come across"...Help me understand. Why have the need to go off on a tangent and say your opinion of something that has nothing to do with the purpose of the video? Are you a rather "simple" and "uncharismatic" individual?
@philip, Using your same level of judgment, I’m going to go ahead with the immediate conclusion that you have never met an actual smug person in your life
Oh man, you just butt hurt the snowflakes.
@@andrewgonzalez9538 Nah, I thought they were funny actually. And she/he/they can say their opinion if they want to. They were only saying what they observed. You need to just learn how to take a joke because believe it or not, there are many more offensive jokes out there.
A simple and uncharismatic person would've been fine because ppl are here to see a review, not to see stand-up comedy. Plus, it's not like the person in the video was very charismatic anyway lmao.
Damn, u just said ur opinion, and a bunch of triggered boomers are criticizing u...what has society become
It much be such joy going over to these two 👀 home for supper 🙄. I guess to nibble on bird food while complaints about fiber and him about veggies.
Hmmm. I thought Hello Fresh offered different meal plans? Vegan, vegetarian, low carb, keto, diabetic etc. Don’t you get to pick the meals you want?
Thanks for your honesty and detail messages!
they seem like they’re fun at parties 😭😭
If you did not chose vegan option you shouldn't critique them for cheese :)
I just wana know how payment works like if I pay for a play if I get charged that amount each week.
If you get the app you have multiple options and you can even set it to go vegan immediately. Also they use insulation and ice in the summer!
Thank you for this. It was very thorough and informative. You addressed some issues I was wondering about...like the pacakaging. HelloFresh sponsors a lot of ASMR artists who will tell you it is more environmentally friendly but I have had concerns about the short clips I have seen with the plastic. Your video was informative and helpful. I haven't decided yet if I will or won't do but at least I can make a more "heads up" choice.
Glad to see all the comments are brutally honest too :D what a travesty of a review that was
I feel like they are actually a comedy review duo - it made me laugh anyway 😛
I also live in a food desert, something like hello fresh in our country would be very welcome. Especially for more elderly or otherwise housebound people.
I can imagine hello fresh working for some people, but just not for everyone :)
You guys she said that she didnt know that you could select your recipies until she read your comments so chill lol!!
:D
“This is so much cheese”
ME: “get some cheese on there!” YUM
I definitely respect your review and I think you gave them a fair shake based on your experience. However, I would counter that with a little more knowledge and experience with the service you could tailor your meals more to your liking.
I think there is a bit of waste in the packaging that is concerning, but some of what you displayed as waste can be recycled, like the bag, and cardboard, and perhaps the plastic cream cheese cup as well, once washed . But I do agree with you that they could do more to minimize waste in the packaging overall.
I've been using this service for over a year, and I've never had a problem with chilled ingredients spoiling due to heat. I live in Michigan, U.S., and it can be balmy and humid in the summer. I've had packages on the porch for hours and no problem with meat or dairy spoiling whatsoever. The boxes come with a massive frozen bag of some kind of slurry composition, and is sealed in a recyclable sort of foil bag inside of the thick cardboard box with is sealed tightly. This is not a concern in my experience.
In terms of health of meals, you definitely have to be careful selecting your meals, or your meal plan for that matter. And you can select all of your meals including your initial box. Although I grant this is not an intuitive feature outright, I just wanted to point that out to viewers of your video. Also I advise to not use the salt and pepper at every step as the directions indicate, that is simply not necessary and I do not understand why they have you using salt and pepper at every step, especially when you are already using sodium filled spices that they have prepackaged for the meals.
In terms of price, I find it very agreeable. I calculate that meals come to $10 U.S. per serving, which is 8.27 euros.. We use approximately the same plan as we get three meals, two servings per meal shipped in our box. This is less than the price of any meal you can buy dining out in the U.S., especially after the consideration of our antiquated tipping system as well. This is much healthier and cheaper than virtually any fast food or frozen packaged meal you can buy anywhere. The only way this is not cheaper than a homemade, store bought ingredients meal is if you buy exactly only what you need and do not waste any amount of ingredients. Further, for any meal that you make based on store bought ingredients you will still be cooking and cleaning up after yourself, so that scrutiny really wasn't necessary. So, regarding your assessment of price, I disagree pretty strongly with you on that point. Having half your dinners delivered to your doorstep for this price is honestly pretty hard to beat...
I agree that you can definitely eat healthier if you take care to buy your own ingredients and tailor your own meals to a leaner diet. I also agree that for people with less time and energy for shopping and meal prepping, this is definitely a service to consider because it eliminates so much stress and hassle from your routine, especially in a time of lockdowns and quarantines.
Lastly, I have to agree with you that meals really do taste great, and after enough time using the service you can avoid meals that you don't like pretty easily as they offer well over a dozen options per week to choose from. If you are a skilled cook in the kitchen, you can definitely make a better meal, but for the ease of dinners they offer, the flavor is definitely very favorable.
A good review, as I said, I think you gave them a fair shake for a first time blind taste test. I just wanted to offer my counter points to add to your review as I have used the product for a while now. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your added input :) it is true I only tried them once, so your input can maybe help others to gain an additional view point :)
Hi I like to buy everything I need at a grocery store and follow along to a recipe, does hellofresh make that process cheaper/more fun?
I think doing it by yourself is just as fun :)
I'm not sure why there are so many negative comments, I thought this review was very helpful.
Omgoooosh they deserve each other jeeeeeeeez !!!
Damn, could y’all fit any more complaining into review? Seriously you picked these meals even though you don’t like these types of foods.
Right ?! Major karen vibes
@@Verziik you’re throwing that term around too much. Why click on a review if you don’t like actual reviews. You sound more like a Karen. 😅
@@sunshinesweetlove..8066 LOL since I am not the only one who thinks so I know that my opinion isn't as farfetched as you find it, calling someone a karen makes me a karen? Ok sWeEt cYaNidE
Me, as european (spanish) Im shocked to see how american people can complicate something as simple as to go to a supermarket or market to buy fresh food and cook it in different ways without wasting more than 20-30 mins per meal instead of ordering it by internet classified per days. LOL
:D
That's right I myself am European and half Asian and my recipes are way better than this shit and if I don't know what to cook I wil use RUclips for some good recipes
How can the packaging be in the pros and the cons
