Ooh, a tangent skip, shots fired from the Basement
Surely this is monumental, I certainly didn't expect it.
Its revenge for shortening the intros.
@@Im-Not-a-Dog "skip what I gave you, I skip what you gave me!" 😂
The Basement will rise again!
The blazement had declared a retaliation on Simon's intro skipping
Simon and Dave aren't even reading the same book in this one, never mind being on the same page
It's a pretty bad script this time.
The script writer is horrific this time. I don't remember what else he has done but hopefully this is his last. No research done. Like seriously when he makes up horse meat being illegal as a story hook, what else did he mess up? It took Simon like...ok it took Simon a while but most people it takes 5 seconds to google horse meat isn't illegal...the story was controversial because people in the UK don't freaking like the idea of eating horse. The entire video sucked, Simon just managed to prop it up with his usual charm. This was a sad hit piece and all this guy did for research was browse reddit and eat McDonalds. Point entirely proven later in the video when he admits all he does is eat McDonalds and never touches veggies. Brilliant.
@@RitzStarrOne time Danny claimed m&ms were illegal in Sweden, stuff like this happens occasionally on Brain Blaze tbh
Simon completely doesn't understand what a Class Action Lawsuit is, which explains his reaction. It's a lawsuit on behalf of everyone cheated. Burger King would need to return all the ill gained profits on hundreds of millions of burgers to the millions of people who bought them. Listen to the script on this one, not to Simon. This is how we keep the big corps honest in the states, we take their profit away and give it back to all their customers.
@@RitzStarr Why are we acting like Dave hasn't written dozens of Brain Blaze scripts.
Like, only Danny and Kevin have written more.
Arguing which fast food place is superior is like arguing over which shovel you want to be beaten to death with. All of them suck.
🤣
So perfect! Thanks! 🤩😂🤣
Yes!!! All fast food is gross in my opinion when compared to actual, real food.
Is pizza hut considered fast food? Or just a pizza joint? That's the only place I will get food from and it's specifically the one 2 towns over.
Now I will go to DQ for ice cream but never food.
nah mcdonalds its tasty as fuck
Oh dear! Dave missed one. It should not have been "into such a frenzy," but "into such a lather." Which is the word used in equine circles for an over-worked horse.
I had to explain this very phrase only the other day. I said "they were all a lather" in reference to someone being really worked up and raging mad over something. How odd to not only have to explain this phrase to a nearly 40 year old woman but then to read your comment shortly afterwards.
It is actually quite normal for folks not to have a deep trivial knowledge of horses. We now live in an era of cars in which horses have no purpose, thus most would never waste our time on them
The main problem I have with horse meat is that, in most cases, these animals are not raised as meat animals. A cow raised for meat is not given medications and pain killers that are not safe for human consumption. A lot of the medications and painkillers used on horses are not safe for human consumption and are carcinogenic.
5:32 Google says it's not illegal, as long as it's appropriately labelled as Horse meat.
Part of the issue with it is that it's not legal to sell it as anything other than horse meat, but most people seem to not want to eat horse meat. They'd rather just stick to Cow, Chicken and Pig.
Yeah I know at least in France they eat a lot of horse, it's relatively common
it was still being eaten in england up until recently, it was called kicker and it was a regional thing
Yeah horse is almost as delicious as guinea pig...
@@billykann7725 mmmmmmmmm Hamster.
Or the Ratatouille made from the other white meat found in the sewers of any big city.@@billykann7725
There's nothing more gross than how you smell after a 12 hour shift in a fast food restaurant, well it's been a while... But I remember it being a horrible smell, taking two showers to feel clean again!!!
Can't ever get the fry grease smell out.... ever
Oh I know! It gets in your hair and pores.
It's that scummy oil film on my skin and hair that did it for me.
Yeah, and even after a few years after quitting, you can easily recognise someone who is working there just by a smell.
My hair always smelled like fried chicken ༼;´༎ຶ ༎ຶ༽
Simon should check out, how the burger/food photos are made. And if he still thinks there is no „trickery“ afterwards.
This was my thought as he kept defending it. Like. They put shoe polish on patties to make them look better. Non-food items are used in place of food items because it looks better or lets them shoot for longer.
I'm all for dressing up a burger to be the best looking it can be *using the normal ingredients*, but when you look into how product images are made, it's surprising how little of the product is actually edible.
If you believe your food is going to look like the image on the menu than you have way worse problems.
In Germany there was a big scandal, when undercover journalists got employed by five different Burger King Restaurants and found horrific hygienic conditions in all of them. Ranging from rats running around in the kitchens coursing bite marks on the burger buns, to costumes regularly getting served partly rotten meat since the employees turned of the cooling system in the cooling room, because it was to chilly for them. And that was just the tip of the iceberg.
BK apologised but five years later the journalist found the same shit still going on.
Employees turned off the cold room because it was too cold? Damn, and that was the tip of the iceberg? WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE LETTUCE? 🤣 (I'll see myself out...)
Yum, the grand national whopper, with horseradish instead of mayo.
The only people who will work for fast food companies are school leavers or criminals. You can't expect them to be disciplined or have respect for anyone. Every time you buy fast food, you're accepting the risks that your food has been delivered by someone who doesn't give a shit about you and would rather be doing something else.
I live in Germany and there was a horrific 1 hour documentary where journalists went undercover in different Burger King stores. The work practices and health standards in all of them were so shockingly disgusting that I can't understand anyone who saw that and doesn't actively want to get sick still eating there
We live in a day and age where i literally haven't eaten food I couldn't see directly prepped I front of me,for the better part of 15 years now...I'm one of the few who has never eaten at McDonald's,or Burger King.I went to Wendy's a couple times before I swore off fast food for good.
I have only gotten food poisoning from two places. A seafood restaurant that undercooked shellfish in a seafood bake, and burger king in oklahoma. BK has terrible stamdards and even worse practices towards their employees
My wife and kid watched it and were disgusted and said they would not eat there. it did not surprise me as the one near us is some what dirty.. I just go to Pommesfreunde or make my own. BK has gotten out of hand with placing onions rings or Rosti patties on the burgers, never ate it but when I see it my stomach aches....
I worked at a Burger King in the early 90's in Northern California.
Everyone was treated good. None of us had an complaints.
I moved to Germany 5 months ago and I have a Burger King 800m from my apartment that I was planning on going to.
Guess I won't anymore 🥲
I'm not sure why Simon had a whole, "Pun me, Daddy," moment, but it was hilarious.
Petition to have Simon watch a food photography video? It is most definitely trickery
Nah trickery is adjusting after the fact, the are Photos of an items very carefully prepared to look as good as possible, they use food trickery, oiling them to make them shiny and moist, and pushing all the part to the one side being photographed. But the Photos are just Photos. Altering them after they are taken would be misrepresenting the item being Photographed.
@@davep5698 they use mashed potato instead of ice cream, I'd day that's trickery
@@lolalo6344 of the object yes, and I pointed that out too. But the photo taken is not manipulated afterward. So no trickery of the camera, all of the object.
I left a comment about how those pictures are made.
Well, now we're talking about a photo of a burger, not filmed ads....
Please do Wendy's next Dave. Because the script would have to include their social media as well
And clarify which Dave every time the name is mentioned.
They are already milking a dead cow with this video. Hopefully this is the last video in this series.
@@eli-bt4he I know, right? I hate it when Simon comes into my home and holds that Tek9 in my face. This time he even pulled out a damned tooth to force me to watch this one.
I hate that Congress passed the No Free Will Act of 2002
@@eli-bt4he that's literally Simon's M.O., he's stated many times over if a video does well he makes more videos on that topic.
I was literally coming here to suggest that! Especially with the whole menu fiasco.
Horse meat WAS illegal to eat in the UK until sometime in the early 2000s when rules regarding what meat could be consumed were standardised across the EU (which we were in at the time).
I remember because someone I knew loved horses and was quite cross about the idea people in the UK could eat them now. Personally, I had no problem with it.
Number 15: Burger King foot lettuce.
The last thing you want in your Burger King burger is someone else’s foot fungus.
That Jared joke was awesome 😂
U may want to be careful putting those words in a sentence together lol I read it fast and missed the word joke the first time 😂
The one and only time I worked in fast food, I worked at Burger King for about 6 weeks in 1990. The shifts were terrible, the work was terrible, and the pay was terrible. The tipping point was one morning I came in, and the manager told me to clean up someone else's mess. Someone on night shift had emptied the grease trap, but they failed to open the lid on the grease trap. So there was grease everywhere. I refused to do it for a couple reasons and quit on the spot. He wanted me to hose the grease into the city sewer system, and thats what they did. When I went in to pick up my final paycheck, I was told their plumbing had clogged up a few days after they hosed the grease into the sewer. Cost them a few thousand dollars to fix and clean everything, plus they got a fine from the city!
Funny thing is that if they just cut the grease with enough soap or any other emulsifier it would have been fine and not clogged the drains.
The horsemeat was not fit for human consumption because the horses had been treated with antibiotics which should not have entered the human food chain.
This. Also it's illegal in the US and isn't that where Dave is from?
@agneslawson9276 its only illegal in some states.
It's illegal in UK to sell something as 100% beef when it's not, same would apply if 100% horse burger is found to have another meat product as an ingredient. You have to stick to what your ingredients are suppose to be or your breaking UK law.
And if they were retired racehorses, you might have some serious health problems.
I worked as a fry cook at KFC as a teenager. That's the dirtiest I have ever been.
Dave:
"At one time, horse meat was illegal"
Simon:
"You lie! The almighty ChatGTP says it's legal!!!"
....yes.... it's legal NOW FactBoi
I like horse meat its nice.
Every advertisement/logo design should be shown to a group of 13-year-old boys. If any of them giggle, you know it'll offend somebody.
Forgot 13 ye ol
Wife seems mortified I laugh after farting
I am almost 50
At worst dave will traull the comments and add certain ones to the vids
It's the class action lawsuit system in the US that results in petty lawsuits like this. The system is meant to keep cases of massive liability affecting many people from clogging up the court system. An injured party included in a "class" can choose to opt out, but otherwise they get to share in the payout from any settlement.
That's fine for workers harmed by exposure to asbestos. But in truly petty cases like this, each member of the class will recoup a couple of bucks at most. The ones who really make out like bandits are the plaintiff's lawyers, who get a big percentage of the ENTIRE settlement. If they can show 10 million people were injured to the tune of $5, that's like 20% of $50 million going right into their pockets.
Thing is, the lawyers can't bring such an action on their own. They have to have a client who was injured. So the trick with these class action lawyers is to find an "injured" party willing to have their name attached to the original lawsuit as the lead plaintiff, get involved in the actual proceedings with discovery, witnesses, depositions, etc. When you hear that "so-and-so filed a class action lawsuit", chances are that person wouldn't have even bothered but for prodding by the lawyers.
With a crown and a big furry coat you could pass for the B-king Simon.
Don't forget the cane!
Flipping burger King ad during this video.... priceless 😂😂😂
Also I worked at McDonald's and my wife at the time worked there, that smell does infect EVERYTHING! I still hate that smell to this day.
I agree! As long as Simon disrespects the hard Work of the Writers by outright Skipping their Intros and/or Parts of their Texts _(especially in The Casual Criminalist),_ he *totally deserves* to have his Tangents & Personal Anecdotes SKIPPED as well!
Brilliant work, Sam!
Agree on the intro, but not on the casual criminalist part. If you want more gore, he's the wrong crime channel for you.
He skips really gore-heavy, sickening parts in CC. That makes him and most of the audience more comfortable. If you want snuff-film level details, there's plenty of other channels out there.
This might be the last video where Simon has to wear his glasses 👓 it’ll be strange seeing him without them after watching him for so long across multiple channels
What?
Simon is getting laser eye surgery tomorrow. But he's said he expects he'll wear clear lenses anyway because his look is so much a part of his brand. Even if he did ditch the glasses, the delay between filming and releasing videos means it would probably be at least a month or two before we started seeing it in videos.
its not illegal to sell horsemeat in the Uk, its just frowned upon when a lasagne from (insert Supermarket here) comes with a Grand National winners medal.
Directly following this "scandal", lots of product recipes were changed and resultantly tasted worse than they did before. Evidently horse is tastier than cow.
actually all that stuff tasted worse for a few years before the info came out, (which is why i seriously question how long it was going on!) i stopped buying all those products long before the scandal because the taste and texture had become worse, don`t know what they taste like now cos i never went back! lol@@BarbaricAvatar
My Lidl pony
The Ren & Stimpy Mr. Horse clip made my day!
Will Simon be demonitized by mentioning Jared Fogel 3 times in the first minute? Only the U Toob gods will know.
I'll be honest, I've bathed at work. I've also slept at a work. I've taken medication while at work as well. Then again.
I was an overnight nanny, so there's that. :D
several of buildings my company operated at had bathrooms, so of course i did. better than to be smelly at work
also we have several cyclists
Tum tum tssss 😂
Regarding the class-action suit... the sandwiches in the photos are just models, they usually aren't even edible
Same goes for humans models.They are rarely edible.
I could have sworn (at least in the US) that the product itself must be real in an advertisement. You can still doctor it up, like pick the prettiest lettuce leaves and smear vaseline on the patty to make it look shiny and yummy, but I'm 90% sure the actual thing being advertised can't be entirely fake. Other stuff can - like in cereal ads, the milk is almost never milk because it doesn't film well. But if it's an ad for corn flakes, those have got to be actual corn flakes. They probably picked through a few boxes to get the most perfect ones, but they're corn flakes nonetheless.
They should show this video, (Why Food Commercials Cost Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars | Big Business | Business Insider)

I think it's funny that burger king has 1: sourced healthier meat for their burgers 2: Made phallic jokes in order to sell more product (because sex sells), 3: used shrinkflation to save costs, and 4: changed their menu....
These things aren't bad? And the employees doing unclean shit is just a normal fast food event... But the bath guy wasn't doing something dirty, they were doing something clean!
Well now I want a whopper.
As amazing as the writing is on all Simon's channels, the editors really bring the video to the next level. The memes and video clips are just *chef's kiss*
In the US people put horses on the same level as dogs. Eating a dog is unthinkable.
I haven't eaten in burger king in over a decade so I will carry on doing that.
Not all lawsuits are about damages, sometimes its about holding a company responsible
@3:36 - “YOU DELIVERED” and that’s when Simon discovered the Pony Express, whether he wanted to or not.
Imagine if that picture lawsuit succeeds and every restaurant has to start using actual pictures of their food. Gonna be some sad looking menus lol
They'd probably just do away with photos in advertising if it came down to it, before showing us real products.
It's been done over and over again and they usually lose.
I think it was "street sense". Maybe cents back in the day did a thing on it. Guy orders burger looks like crap, kept complaining until he got the one in the picture, and it was not only cold, but inedible. There is so much plastic and other stuff you don't want to eat used in both restaurant pictures but as well as advertising.... Cheese pizza? You mean glue pizza.
That should be how it is. It's insane restaurants are allowed to outright lie about what you'll receive.
But they hold too much power for it to ever go through.
@@drowsyd3m0n1c they use Elmer's glue instead of milk in cereal bowls for advertising photos too. All kinds of weird crap
Plenty of people manage to make food that looks good enough for "the gram" without making the food out of plastic and resin. It's just that most fast food chains especially American ones) don't actually make food that looks good enough to eat on its own.
I'd be fine with requiring accurate images of food on marketing materials. Then we might actually get better food from these places. Imagine that.
Time to strap in. It'll be a bumpy ride. Allegedly.
I worked at a Burger King for a bit. I was upset about 2 things from my time there.
1. Thinking about how much more money was being made by the marketing department to make what i thought was stupid ads then i did.
2. And how many new products they were coming out with. I had to figure out how to cram new ingredients in without getting more room to work with (think jalapeno chicken fries without having extra warming areas). At least my last week working was the week we got the supplies for the hotdogs, but that was before the launch.
Marketing make a lot more money for the company in a lot less time than the restaurant worker. It's also a more skilled role...
@@nicholascrow8133 With the ads they were running, in my opinion, they weren't skilled at their jobs.
@@route2070 Skilled job as in skill/qualifications required to get the job. Also, "in your opinion", I'm pretty sure for them to keep their jobs that the figures would show otherwise.
Or to take a more abstract look at it, the fact that years later you are still talking about the ads speaks volumes to their efficacy and impact... Marketing ≠ entertainment
@@route2070 I mean, there was/is nothing stopping you trying to get a job in marketing if you thought you could do better...
I'm getting pissed off at stores. You have to buy the large portions of some foods. They don't have a smaller size. So, half of it just goes to waste.
4:47 I once ate a piece and a half of fried chicken before being told it was snapping turtle at which point I just said “tastes like chicken to me” and kept eating.
I think of it that way. In my younger years, people would insinuate that certain restaurants I frequented used stray cats instead of chicken. My response was always, “I guess I like to eat felines now.”
And yes, I changed cats to felines in the last sentence because I didn’t want the immature responses.
Simon constantly forgetting how bonkers the US legal system is will always funny.
Simon: Have i told you....
Gods of Editing: Denied.
☠️😂
Not really in to exposed clowns, but I’m sure there are websites for that…
I believe it's a Hub...
I worked at a movie theater. I smelled like popcorn for years.
I assume I do, but I've been here for just under 10 years, and I've long since gone numb to the smell of popcorn lol
Maybe BK should switch to real human fingers like Wendy's.........
The truth of service industry jobs is that no matter how much it gets washed, a work uniform will always smell like work 😂
Horse meat was more available for sale in the pre 1930's, yet today most house meat is for export usage. It was about desirable foods more than illegality of the meat. Many European countries both sell and consume horse meat and at high levels of sales.
That advert with the guy dressed up as a king used to freak me out.
As a BK employee of 24 years I loved this video
It doesn’t come close to the tip of the iceberg for the things I have seen
You were really into this episode
"More puns!!!"
I worked at Cap'n D's (fast food fried fish place) during Lent when I was much younger. The smell was atrocious. I couldn't get it out of my coat. I tried to have it cleaned and even that didn't work. I don't remember what I did with it, but I ended up having to use my last check to buy a new coat.
Oh my god! That tangent skip was priceless!😂
The Burger King Singapore ad is pretty tame for US Carl's Jr
That Kate Upton commercial was PEAK ad-bunnies. I loved that commercial.
It probably helps that I was in middle school when it came out, but it is in my top 10 best commercials of all time.
IKEA MEATBALLS??? Now with horse meat… are they difficult to put together??
Now we wait for Kevin to write up a taco bell script
I was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms from this content. Thank you for a new episode to feed my Brain Blaze addiction. I wish you all the very best!
Another good video, with Amazing, Spectacular, Excellent editing!
oh im not a fan of the tangent skip.
So Burger King has 2 types of Whoppers:
1. The one made with impossible meat,
2. The one that's made with possibly beef.
Restaurant idea, an honest menu, like The kind of a quarter... Pounder? And Looks like food.
1. The one that will destroy your liver, kidneys and give you a heart attack and bladder cancer.
2. The one that is made with meat.
Seriously, Simon should have a show on the ingredients in the fake meats that were NOT approved by the FDA.
Finally, the quality content we been waiting for. (We missed you)
The advert photo is clearly the Platonic form of a Whopper. Anyone who has even a basic grounding in philosophy should know not to expect this to be the version they receive.
quick note: mcdonalds still operate in russia, they just changed the name of the company on the books. but the money still goes to mcdonalds
2:30 great plug Dave . 😂😂 Simon almost missed it 😂😂😂❤
3:30 more puns than in a usual episode (that Simon picks up on:-)
Yeah I agree with Simon in almost all of these things. Most of these "dark secrets" aren't so much dark as the general public being dumb or over reactive. Which isn't surprising at all.
ALSO agree with Simon on the making fries at home in the air fryer. 3kg bag of potatoes $4 1kg of frozen fries $4... Plus I like the control over the amount or kind of oil and seasoning I use now lol
It should be noted that while many fast food restaurants like McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's, have factory's that mold the meat into perfect sized and shaped patties for their particular burgers, they all get the actual ground meat from the same suppliers. The percentage of horse meat would probably vary on any given day but unlike rat hairs would not have an allowable percentage.
So we've hit the stage in AI where we go looking for our AI 'friend' somewhere else in the room. XD
Simon talking about the horse meat scandal while I'm here ordering a joint of zebra meat. 😂😂
I remember seeing that advertising at a Burger King when it came out
I just read the wikipedia article on horse meat (UK section) and I can't help but share this little gem of a line:
"A company called Cowley's Fine Foods has also launched a horse jerky range called My Brittle Pony."
When they do photos of these burgers for restaurant menus and advertising, they use a raw patty, greese it up with some Vaseline, scorch it with a BBQ starter. Then they carefully stack the toppings and bun as high as they possibly can, being very careful not to compress anything. Then they take a picture. Unless you're into eating raw meat (and some people are) you do not want your burger to be like the picture on the menu.
Maybe it's regional, but Burger King fries are absolutely trash. Right down there with KFC fries. And their onion rings... ugh.
BK doesn't offer bunless versions, though they do have Impossible Whopper. /shrug/
Actually, KFC fries rock.
BK onion rings do suck, tho.
KFC fries are pretty good since they changed them to the skin-on ones they do now. The previous ones did suck though
@@TekSlug Again, must be regional. Because that's not a thing here. They be nasty.
Crinkle cut fries are an automatic strike for any place. They are the worst fry ever made.
I swear on Simons life, that the AD after that played with this video was a Papa Johns Ad and I fucking lost it.
This whole video was pretty much an ad for how cool BK is and why I should probably eat there more.
there aren't any near me so it's been a while, but I do have a craving now.
My mom worked at a BK on a military base when I was really young. One time, we stopped there before going to see Spirit (that Dream works horse cartoon) at the theater (also on post) and she specifically gave me the toy of "Spirit" with my kids meal. That story kinda takes on a different light with the whole horse meat scandal 😅
Simon, if you were a judge I would flee your jurisdiction immediately
Clearly simon never saw the genetically modified chicken video, from when KFC got caught using a mutated version of a chickem.
2008 was nearly two decades ago? Thanks, I kinda knew that, but really didn't need to hear it! lol
Simon i completely agree about that lawsuit.... unfortunately in the USA lawsuits or swindling people are like the 2 main ways people gain fortunes in this country. Thats my personal opinion anyway. Very few people i have met made their money legit just through hard work..... for everyone else im just saying the people i have met.
Ah yes, the new American dream, making a bunch of money from someone else's work...
Some BK employee bathed in the sink!? Goddamn, that really eclipses the guy standing in two tubs of lettuce.
In Singapore, 7 inches might as well be a foot. 😉
List
1. Existing
Enough said lol
A Texas whopper, fries and soda is now $16.00.
Ahh... the horse meat story. I wanna say I've heard it at least 3 times, Simon. Made me laugh!
Let's be honest, Tim taking a very soapy bath in the utility sink is probably the cleanest thing to ever be done in a fast food joint. Far better than the foot lettuce kid any day. 🤣
Yea definitely confused at the idea of "hey I'm gonna sell my image to a stock website then get upset if people use it in a way I don't like". If you sell your image to a stock site, you are specifically there for anyone to pay to use your photo in whatever way they want (outside of illegal/against tos things obviously). Stock sites are literally for people to pay to use your image and manipulate into basically anything they want to, including things you won't agree with or don't want to be associated with.
Also no Simon, there's definitely camera trickery making food look better than it ever possibly could if it was made for someone in person. Look up the art of food photography intended for commercials and still photos. It's silly how much they can actually get away with that's deceptive in their photos and commercials. But yeaaaaa we all know the actual food won't be anything like the photo, though I do wish we could push the companies to take more accurate pictures overall so they can't just fluff up their food for them because it just feels deceptive and scummy overall to me. Some of them do a lot better portraying their food than others though.
Almost all stock sites have restrictions in their terms and conditions that say you're not allowed to use the stock images how BK used it.
Shutterstock:
1.2 RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF VISUAL CONTENT
YOU MAY NOT:
b. Portray any person depicted in Visual Content (a "Model") in a way that a reasonable person would find offensive, including but not limited to depicting a Model: a) in connection with pornography, "adult videos", adult entertainment venues, escort services, dating services, or the like; b) in connection with the advertisement or promotion of tobacco products; c) in a political context, such as the promotion, advertisement or endorsement of any party, candidate, or elected official, or in connection with any political policy or viewpoint; d) as suffering from, or medicating for, a physical or mental ailment; or e) engaging in immoral or criminal activities.
c. Use any Visual Content in a pornographic, defamatory, or deceptive context, or in a manner that could be considered libelous, obscene, or illegal.
I honestly do believe there would be arguments there that it doesn't cross the line enough to violate those (suggestive vs obscene), but like I said unless it does violate TOS you're giving up your image to people to do what they like, I did specify the TOS part in there. It depends heavily on which site they had participated on, and what year it was etc. But there's a general thing that happens with some people who upload to stock sites, then get mad at things people do that's just generally things they don't agree with so it was more a general statement. @@adelaide3274
In the UK it is legal to sell and consume horse meat... just almost nobody does
...the real underlying issue was that the quality of the meat could not be guaranteed, and was very suspect, if they could have horsemeat rather than beef what else had not been checked ...
Omg, is the Chair ok?
Right?!?! He got up and I totally expected the chair to say hello! Is it sick? Did Simon forget to feed the editor in the blazement?? I'm so unreasonably distressed by this, I could barely enjoy the puns! 🥺 WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE CHAIR, FACT BOI???
@@IKilledEarlThey should have put duct tape on it so it looked like he was being silenced.
Simon finding chatgpt turning him into the true fact boy. He's levelled up. Found his final form.
The whole point of litigation over marketing is to reign in marketing to ensure they can't get away with just outright lying to consumers.
Eddie Izzard. You buy lots of fruit, you put it in a bowl and then you WATCH IT ROT!!!
Burger king commercial that played before this video was a bold product placement choice lol 😂
Simon, you have even done a video on commercial pictures take for food and how fake they are. From the product not being a realistic representation of what is in real life to.......well it actually not even being the product but a prop. Fake food so it doesn't rot, food covered in varnish so it looks shine. The list of trickery used in those photos is long and extensive. The only way your weeding photo analogy would work is that if all the gets at the wedding were either mannequins or paid actors rather than your friends.
My life will not be complete until Simon calls me "homeboy" like he does to ChatGPT.
Missed opportunity of Thomas the chair cameo...
Nice, new business blaze video!
OMFG!! I was ever so conveniently interrupted by a Burger King ad while watching the horse meat part!!! LMAO!!
