    Letterbox wine looks like it’s easier to hide for one of those outdoor concerts they make you pay $10 for a glass of vino

    I used to work in a celebrity chef restaurant chain and the house red and white wines were sold in tetrapacks

    What happened to James? Is he off the show?

  7. @Denien82

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    The bottle of wine is a marketing trick. No matter how much the company talks about Co2, glass is 100% recyclable. If the problem is delivery, and you want to be environmentally friendly, just go to a local store. No one needs wine by mail 😂

  8. @jackiebuttnor8410

    LOL Mike walking off after the "Suck it. Then spit it" comment! 🤣🤣🤣

    Still waiting for flat bottles of wine to take off.

  10. @Trident023

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    In my head I translated the description for the wine back to German and then imagined it with a Vienna accent…what do you know, cringeworthy suddenly turns charming 😂

  11. @persereika9178

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    LOL XD FLAT WINE XDDDDDDDD BUT LIKE

  12. @sylviameng4950

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Well, you are not supposed to eat the shell of the watermelon seeds. You should only eat the white inside part. The shell won't kill you I guess, but just not how we eat it in China (which the packaging suggested it's from China)

  13. @CAP198462

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Flat plastic wine bottles are clever. I’ll grant that glass bottles have a caché but those are better than box wine.

  14. @mrsrobinsoncat

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    But you can’t recycle it. So it will be burned or landfilled. Not so environmentally friendly after all.

  15. @rheeneedy16

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    We don't eat the "shell" of the watermelon seed. We just eat what's inside. Just like peanuts or pistachios. It's a common snack in the Philippines 😀

  16. @bigchooch4434

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Hate to be that guy, but it's "byproduct".

  17. @martinbudinsky8912

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    That wine flask is just a joke… Plastic bottle will never be more enviromentaly friendly than a galss one. You can re-use glass bottles much more than plastic ones.

  18. @FleaChristenson

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    I’d like to try the meloni over ice with lemonade.

  19. @shannonsmith4174

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    WHO WANT TO BE NORMAL ANYWAY? THAT'S SUCKS YOUR JUST A BORING SELFISH PERSON JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE..

    My in laws are in Egypt and when I was there my husband picked up a sort of nuts for me including sunflower seeds and roasted watermelon seeds

  21. @georgstaska5902

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    The calculations on the space saved by the flat bottles is wrong. 40% more packing efficiency works out to around 72% of original capacity needed.

  22. @DG-by5oz

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Micro plastics from acidic wine? No thanks!

  23. @helenajonsson5349

    11:04 are PET bottles not a thing in England?

  24. @snipes4ever1982

    i got a better deal i like this vid and you give me 10 euro.

  25. @MichaelJin74

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Love the watermelon seeds but it’s eaten like a sunflower seed. Shells are edible but not too many people eat them whole.

  26. @maureenz1135

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    The watermelon seeds are a quite common snack in China, and people there become skilled over time to bite on them one by one with just the right amount of pressure and angle so that the hard exterior (skin/shell) halves from the thin side and then eat the white soft interior and spit out the shell.

  27. @LoosSerine

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Also, you guys ate the watermelon seeds wrong. My mum loves them (not this brand, definitely not flavoured with soy and licorice), but they're meant to be deshelled by your teeth, you don't eat the whole thing, just the inside.

  28. @LoosSerine

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Black sesame in milky drinks is a common Chinese morning beverage especially up north in Beijing.

  29. @Rob_TheOne

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Flat wine bottles means no stupid wine rack. Just need a shelf.

  30. @ioan1934

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Just been on to Amazon and the crunchy mushrooms are available to buy:

    Shitaki mushrooms Pack of 6 40g bags are £13.20, £2.20 per bag
    Trumpet mushrooms pack 6 40g bags £13.20, £2.20 per bag
    Trumpet mushrooms pack 6 40g bags £15.00, £2.50 per bag

    So I think for what they are which is a vegan alternative to crisps they are really expensive.

    So "NOT MUCH ROOM FOR FUN IN THIS SNACKING."

  31. @tipai3718

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Why are you eating the watermelon shells? 🙄

  32. @AllieShan

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Those mushroom snacks have been around for ages. I have it every time I go on a road trip.

  33. @RiverDanube

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Beer drinkers prefer glass bottles, not aluminium and don't even think of plastic bottles. Cask wine would be preferable to these plastic bottles but they have hit on something. Square glass wine bottles would have a lot of benefits.

  34. @ShadeScarecrow

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Absolutely nothing against vegan food. But Latte literally translates to milk. Cant really take that out and still call it a latte…

  35. @CharlotteKandy

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    "Suck it and spit it"
    Oh come on ben you know you always swallow!

  36. @zamnelna

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    I love it when the opinion is so different, as we humans are not all the same

  37. @wgoddard1988

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    I don’t understand replacing a glass bottle of wine with a plastic on? Surely the glass bottle can be recycled? Or did they say that it creates more carbon to produce and or recycle it? On the other hand. What happens to the plastic bottle. Can it be recycled? Or is the whole idea that it can be posted through your letterbox?

  38. @ellalaxamana8400

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    lmao u ate the watermelon seeds wrong .. i think, because in my country we don't eat the shell hshahaha

  39. @Erojagan

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Dude, the cringe on this one tho.

  40. @GonzoDonzo

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    The plastic wine bottle idea demonstrates the stupidity of most environmentalists. Id be much more worried about the plastic going into a landfill then any carbon emissions. For one carbon is key to all "carbon" based life and data shows that it has zero impact when it comes to temperature. Two, glass is infinitely recyclable and natural.

  41. @cyndimack3527

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    I wouldn't mind the plastic wine bottles of the wine was decent. Serve from a nice decanter!

  42. @thomaslaing5854

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Being complimented by a chef as having a good palet must be an onsane feeling😂

  43. @andrewmartin2103

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    You need to a reduced item cooking competition all going to supermarkets but what's reduced and make a meal eg lidl lidls 1.50 veg box

  44. @jdunster5436

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    The flat bottle solves SO many problem. Plastic or not, bottles should just be that shape…. Fit more on a shelf, fit more on a pallet, fit more in a box…

  45. @thecraftycreeper3167

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    wine in a plastic bottle is a crappy wine in my opinion

  46. @victoriam4502

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    “With a kid on the scene” WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME BARRY HAS A KID

  47. @johnnycliche4226

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    If that were olive oil instead of wine, people wouldn't bat an eye…

  48. @Car1ll

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Wouldn't actual box wine be much more spatially efficient and take less energy to produce?

  49. @daniellediller5070

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Watermelon wine a new product, mean while in rural America… 😆

  50. @shirleyau4394

    December 20, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Almost a year later, still cringing they actually ate the outside of the watermelon seeds 🤣 This has been around for years and you’re only supposed to eat the insides.
