Adults Try April Fools' Food | People Vs. Food

- I'm sorry, but this is not ice cream. - Are we in the unknown dimension? What is happening? ♪ (French accordion music) ♪ - (FBE) Alright guys, it's time for another episode of People Vs Food. - Alright. I'm with that. - I'm here for it. - (FBE) So today you'll try some of our favorite classic comfort

food

s. There has been a lot of debate online recently about what is comfort

food

and what is not. - Damn. - This is very sweet. - Yes, I expect very greasy and fattening food. - This sounds great. I love comfort foods like macaroni and cheese. - My taste buds explode, so that comforts me. - For me, it is more of a food that makes me sink deeper and deeper into the couch. - Something super warm like a giant plate of macaroni and cheese. - Look, I just think it's anything you can't justify when you're not sad.

Where you say, "Can I eat a triple-decker ice cream sandwich when I'm alone?" - Yes you can. - How's it going? Bring it here. - Give it to me here, Malfoy. - (FBE) Let's go ahead and bring out your first comfort food. - A sandwich? - Yum Yum. - Hell yeah. - (FBE) One of the simplest and most popular comfort foods, this grilled cheese is made with two thick slices of bread, a blend of fine melted cheeses, and love. - Love. - You can see it well. - It looks like it's made with love. - Is that grilled cheese? - That's not grilled cheese. - That's not grilled cheese. - That's butter on bread. - And love? - Wait wait wait.

What kind of cheese is this? - I know, it seems strange. - Oh, the bread is like... - Oh my God. - Do you hear it? Squeeze your bread. Can you hear that? - Oh yes, it's like a sponge. - Yes. - It's like a cheese spread. It's very sweet. - Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. - That's not grilled cheese. That's frosting. That's frosting. You can smell it. That's frosting. - That's cake and frosting. - It's like a cake. - Cake, yes. Wait, that's not grilled cheese. - This is not grilled cheese. - This is not a normal grilled cheese. - It's like a cake.

Oh Lord. - It tastes exactly like lemon cake. Wait, is this what bread is supposed to taste like? - I've been making grilled cheeses wrong all my life. - (FBE) Grilled cheese is one of the oldest foods. There are ancient Roman cookbooks that mention combining cheese and bread, but this type of toasted cheese sandwich first appeared in the 1920s. The term "grilled cheese" didn't even become popular until the 1960s. - Wait, so why do you keep saying that this... this is clearly not cheese? - Yeah, there's no way this is just bread. - Is this cheese? - Seriously, is this a grilled cheese?

No, it's not. - I am so confused. Is this real or is it... - That's cream cheese frosting. - I understand. - But the brand of the grill. - That is amazing. - This is like a grilled cheese sandwich with catfish. I was hoping to savor the flavor and then everything was sweet. - I feel uncomfortable. - I'm confused. I don't know what I'm supposed to eat. - (FBE) Are you ready for your next meal? - Yeah. I still don't believe you guys. I feel like the next one will be something and it's not something. - (FBE) Let's take out your next meal. - Oh baby. - Wait wait wait.

This is sauce. Wait. - (FBE) Your next meal is ice cream. - No, it's not okay. Look, wait, wait. We are confusing all of this. - This doesn't look like ice cream. It looks like mashed potatoes, maybe cranberries and a little meat. - (FBE) The country's most popular ice cream flavor, vanilla, is best served in a sundae like this. Covered in sugary syrup and topped with a delicious cherry, this classic breakup food has been a source of comfort for many a scorned lover. -UH Huh. It looks like gravy, sun-dried tomatoes, and mashed potatoes. That's quite the opposite.

Is it the opposite day? - Because it is hot? - No, this is pepper or tomato. - I'm sorry, but this is not ice cream. - Is this an episode of Black Mirror? I'm a little scared. This isn't... What do you mean it's vanilla? This is clearly a biscuit and gravy. - They are fooling us but I will enjoy it. I just don't like lies. This looks good though. - What is this? - Oh, it's just not... yeah. It's not ice cream. There is no ice cream in this. - Well. - My kind of ice cream. - I'm so glad we didn't bite into it thinking it was ice cream.

That would have gone up. - This is super delicious. I also enjoy being in a cup of ice cream. I'm really into this. - (FBE) A very curious fact about ice cream. - Oh Lord! - (FBE) Ice cream sundaes have been around for over a hundred years. One Sunday afternoon in 1892, a drugstore owner added cherry syrup to two bowls of ice cream to impress the reverend at his church. - Yes, this is not ice cream. It looks frozen. Like a tasty version of ice cream. - I do not know what is happening. - Are we in the unknown dimension?

What is happening? - Now I'm sitting in front of the church, reverend. I'll give you ice cream with sauce. - (FBE) If this ice cream freezes your brain, you can simply run your tongue along the roof of your mouth to calm the temperature sensors. - Dude, it's literally boiling. Hold the bottom. - Yes, what do you mean? - Steam comes out. - I ate cake and now I'm eating a chalupa on a plate. I don't even know what this is, but ugh. I'm going through a bad... - I'm a fan. - (FBE) Are you ready for your next meal? - .

Are these rice krispie? - Are they trying to make... - Buffalo wings? - (FBE) These are boneless chicken wings with ranch sauce. - that. - (FBE) While plain fried chicken is probably a more popular comfort food, - What the hell is going on? - I do not know what is happening. I'm afraid! - (FBE) But there is no denying the popularity of this spicy delight. Made with the same Frank's hot sauce that's been slathered on chicken since the 1920s, these wings are the perfect addition to any sports game. - What is the red thing? Try it first. - I'm trying this celery stick with ranch dressing.

I'll play along. - We are eating healthy. - Reminds me of healthy. - Well well. Try the... what is this? - It's supposed to be... it's a rice krispie treat. What is it covered in? - It's super sticky, so it has to be syrup. - Or it could be a melted hard candy. - Okay, well... - I'm not mad about that. I don't know how I feel about this ranch. - What is the seasoning for this? It tastes like sweet corn. - It feels like I'm eating a wing, just from the position of my fingers. - Close your eyes and just feel it.

Feel the fantasy of the wing. - It's like jam. Jelly? It tastes like jelly or... right? Is it just rice krispie with strawberry jelly? - Probably. - I think that's what it is. It's actually pretty good. - (FBE) Fun fact: The average American eats approximately 90 hot wings a year, and an estimated 1.25 billion wings are consumed during the Super Bowl alone. - Curse. Hell yeah. - Half of them are mine, I'm pretty sure. - This would be a very different sports snack. - Wow. I'm sure I eat more than 90 wings a year. - I eat wings once a week. - Are they just trying to mess with... our heads? - I think so. - Is working. - Yes I know.

It is also. - (FBE) Alright, let's see your next meal. Okay, so your next meal will be a sandwich and fries. Burgers and fries are high in fat, carbohydrates, and sodium—all hallmarks of classic comfort food. - That...? It's definitely a slice of brownie between two cupcakes. - (FBE) This cheeseburger is topped with the best and served with a side of crispy, perfectly salted fries. - So this is cake. This sure is a cake. - Play-Doh, girl. - It's probably fondant. - I don't even know if this is a fry. Hey, what is that? - It's a fruit. - What kind of fruit? - Apple? - That's super sweet.

That's a brownie. That's cake. - Let me try this burger. - "This burger." Everything is frosting. Rough. What is cheese? - Yes, don't bite it like a hamburger. That was stupid. That was frosting. - That wasn't great. It was just cake and frosting, but I still don't know what's going on. - (FBE) Fun fact: In the United States, approximately 50 billion hamburgers are eaten each year, including these two. The average American eats three hamburgers a week and McDonald's sells 75 hamburgers every second. - One second? - I contribute to that. - Oh Lord. One second? - Yes, but look how good they are.

Don't you want 57 of these bad boys per second? - No. - I feel like hamburgers are the American delicacy. It's what we're known for. - I feel like hamburgers are just American culture. - It's weird that eating a food that you tell us we're supposed to eat is tasty right now and you're biting into the sweet stuff, so it seems like it's driving me crazy. - Yes, it's really confusing and awkward to say the least. - (FBE) This is your last meal, spaghetti and meatballs. - Oh. - (FBE) Due to its low cost and easy preparation, spaghetti with red sauce is one of the most popular comfort foods. - Boy. - (FBE) This spaghetti was made with traditional noodles, red sauce that was simmered for eight hours, and perfectly seasoned meatballs. - What is this?

Is this a brownie, probably with a little Yoplait and a little coconut and parmesan? It's a little hot. - Oh wait. It's ice cream. - Yes. - I feel like pasta, not red sauce. - Don't you like red sauce? It's strawberry. - It's too sweet. - It's a little cold, but it tastes good. - I know for sure that this is not spaghetti. I'm italian. I know spaghetti. This is not spaghetti. - (FBE) So, a fun fact about spaghetti, spaghetti has twice been the star of elaborate April Fools' Day pranks. The first time was in 1957, when the BBC broadcast a special explaining how spaghetti grows on trees.

The second time was in this reaction video. - Oh Lord. - Oh my god, it took us so long to understand this joke. - Oh. It makes a lot more sense now. - Jesus Christ. - (FBE) All of the foods you guys have been trying today are classic April Fools' Day foods. They are popular memes on the Internet that

people

serve to their friends to confuse them on April Fool's Day. - Now it makes sense. False comfort. I like it. - That's super smart. - I've never seen that. - I've never seen that. - You just fooled April very well. - Yeah. - That was great. - Everyone who played along was like, "This is a normal episode.

We're just eating comfort food." And they didn't say anything and I think what was disconcerting to me was that everyone had this blank face while we were freaking out. - (FBE) So the first food they ate wasn't grilled cheese. It was cake with frosting. - Okay, yeah. - I imagined it. - No. - I wouldn't... I couldn't say it. - (FBE) Your second meal, you had an elaborate mashed potato sundae, which included salsa, sun-dried tomatoes, and ground beef. - Yes. - That sounds great. I wish I could go back and have more. Now it looks good. - (FBE) Your third meal, instead of chicken wings, we gave you rice krispie treats with caramel glaze. - Oh. - I discovered everything.

Come on. - (FBE) Your burger was cupcake, brownie and fondant. -Ah. - (FBE) And spaghetti ice cream. - Interesting. - I feel like it takes a long time. Like, "Oh my God, I'm going to make a burger with this sweet stuff." I don't feel like I would have dedicated my time to it, but I mean, it's funny. - Once I found out it was something for dessert, I thought, great, because I was expecting spiders or crickets or something. This was fun. - I've learned not to question free food, so as long as it's edible, I'm fine with it. - Thanks for watching us eat April Fool's Day foods on the React channel. - Subscribe to receive new programs every day. - Which of these fake foods do you want to try?
