What's the best AND worst things you've ever bought from ads?? I HAVE TO KNOW!
XD i never buy from adds expect for wish stuff but most of the time i save it and never order cause i dont want to deal with this crap of not delivering or stealing my money kinda things. also A LOT of adds i get are only shipping to the usa and im in the netherlands in europe.... so im not sure they understand where i am asswell XD
Sheri's Berries is a total rip off and gave me food poisoning the day before VDAY one year. Never again!!
LOVED this video premise. I've bombed out trying most foods but Goldbelly in the US has a mega infrastructure for food/restaurant, so that's my go to for Christmas shopping for both sets of parents. My daughter and I call it "sugar hunting" when we visit new bakeries... and it's similar online, except the darn shipping isn't the same as walking in somewhere for a single cookie or cupcake. :) If you haven't yet, do this with cupcakes that are also available in the USA for us! Cupcakes are my life. :D
I got food poisoning from them too!@@CrystalCannaCreations
YVR cookie is my favourite, I order them as often as I can and send them for gifts as well. The BEST!
You should order a cake from a bakery and say it’s for a video and then have one of your friends order a cake with the same budget and category and compare them. I think it would be interesting to see if they only make you special cakes because it’s going on CZcams. 😂
That’s actuality an amazing idea!
So I used to be in a facebook group with a baker that made one of her Christmas cakes. I talked with the baker a while about it and she seemed genuine when she told me she did not alter her work even though she knew it was for a video
THIS!!!
If I learned anything today, it's literally to not order from any of these luxury food sites. Thank you.
The Blume lattes are not like the others!! I promise! I can see why she reacted like that (especially after eating so many sweet things, and getting the flavours that feel like they should be more sweet), but the point of them are that they are low or no sugar drinks. The price is SUPER reasonable for what it is. But I got into them with their turmeric and beetroot lattes, and evolved into the more fun flavours with them. I can see that the earthiness would be jarring if you order Starbucks type flavours expecting a Starbucks type experience.
Or to never ever order from FB ads, they're mostly a scam.
I learned to either make my own desserts or shop local.
The cookies although very expensive seemed to be the only thing you ordered that was actually as advertised and worth it for the most part ❤
I agree
IMO one cookie is a dessert for at least 3 or 4 people. I would cut everyone a slice and then it’s not so expensive anymore. If I would live in the US, I would definitely order it. 😋
@@nicanonymus2491everyone clap it up
All of them seemed way overpriced to me. Over $70 for a tiny cake and 3 cupcakes? I'm going to the grocery store and buying M&Ms and throwing them on a grocery store cake 😂 my kid is definitely not going to notice the difference.
I'm curious about how the Maca affected your mood for the day though, Laurie 😉😆
Not sure but in Wal*Mart they may already have a M&M covered cake as Asda here in the UK do have a M&M party cake
I think these are supposed to be a bit more luxurious regarding their ingredients and taste, if that makes sense. Not saying getting wallmart cakes is bad, but if you want something completely handmade by one person/small team and support them vs a grocery store chain, I think going that route is okay too. But then again, I don't buy cakes let alone such expensive cakes, so what do I know haha
I’m surprised she didn’t bring up it wasn’t what she was advertised. The cake she showed had candy pouring out and chocolate frosting on top. That’s not what she got at all
the facts that it’s canada changes nothing. like $70CAD is $50USD. i refuse to spend that much on a single cake for 10 people, let alone a tiny cake and three cupcakes. at walmart in the states, i could get a whole ass cheesecake for $10 and a party sheet cake to feed 16 for $20
@@pissum420 even the website describes there being "a surprise in the middle"
I used to work at edible arrangements the cheesecakes and cakes come frozen. We only “dress up” the cheesecakes with their specific toppings
Came to say the same as a former employee 😂
Needing to pay more for shipping that has been allowed to go through with a purchase, assuming you put in your address/postcode correctly, is super sketchy. The onus should be on the shop to calculate shipping correctly 😑
Yeah I don't get it. I have an Aunt who lives in Canada. And there are Times it is cheaper to send us the money. Have us Order it, then ship it to her. Then she buying it from the USA. However I can order something from Canada and it costs the same as ordering from the USA. It makes NO sense to me.
Yea, and SHE had to inquire about it, they didn't even contact her, just stayed quiet & hoped she won't notice? So scummy
I would do a credit card chargeback.
Yeah, this is the bane of my life. I live in the North of Scotland and some shipping companies refuse to ship here on the basis of "not shipping outside of the mainland"... but I'm on the mainland! And so many websites are bad at taking and accepting an order to my address no problem, then hours or days later getting back in touch to demand another £20+ shipping. If it was going to be a problem, why didn't your website stop the order? Or charge more in the first place? It drives me up the wall. Tell me up front what it will cost or don't let me order so I can make a decision now rather than have to sort this out again tomorrow, argh
@@Accountforstuff Wow that really is infuriating. I live in Australia, where you'd imagine the problem would be worse given how far it is from everywhere except New Zealand, but I've never once experienced this. Perhaps companies can just go 'either we can ship to Australia or we can't - there's no grey area' 😂
This has reminded me of one thing.. shop local and support your neighbourhood bakeries if you can! Many even offer delivery since adapting in 2020
So fun fact: your chocolates are Christopher Elbow chocolates. They're the supplier of a lot of different companies - local, nationwide, and international. I realized this when I used to work for a company who used them as a supplier and a local chocolate shop had chocolates with the exact same prints on top of the chocolates, which match your chocolates as well. One of their current Halloween chocolates matches your chocolate with the mouth print
Thank you for this! I googled their site and immediately found several variations of the high gloss bonbons like she was looking for.
they kinda look like jacque torres too?
@@thisisjellyy those are similar but with different top patterns/colors. Jacque also has different Halloween options. The mouth printed on top is one of Christopher's Halloween options
Yeah I think what happened is a scam website uses those chocolates which is also why the menu doesn’t match the chocolates AND why they are so overpriced. Basically reselling while pretending to be a different company!
I am from Edmonton and I saw those chocolates and immediately recognized them from several shops here. Then when I saw it said Edmonton area shipping it made sense. I’m not sure what the websites deal was but you can get them in person here and they are legit chocolates lmao
Those edible arrangements cakes would have kissed me off. That looks so cheap. Also the picture looks like it is filled with m&ms but they were just in top.
the last chocolates def just be re-boxed purdy's 😭😭i bought cookies online once and they shipped them with no packing or bubblewrap they just bounced around in a huge box and i left a bad review and the company told me "kindly never order from us again"
🤣
why would you even want to after that
I’d be like “kindly wasn’t planning to” lmao
saying that to a customer is insane 💀
It's the maca powder. It has a funky, earthy taste. None in the third drink which is probably why you liked it best.
Oh it’s the maca that tastes like that? I got a dairy free, coconut based ‘creamer’ that has maca in it and it made me gag. Had to throw out the coffee I made with it. I like Blume lattes cause I like a certain amount of earthy flavour, but that ‘creamer’? 🤢
The play by play commentary Kevin made when Laurie tasted the cheesecake was hilarious.
Absolutely would never spend that much on something like that. I feel like making it yourself would be so much more meaningful and enjoyable.
and for the most part, probably taste better lol!
For me i dont find as worth it because i have to clean the kitchen after that and im messy im sure local bakeries have similar items with way more reasonable prices for those whose dont wanna do it themselfs like me tho
I absolutely hate edible arrangements. The idea is great but it’s overpriced and the food is just mediocre at best. My husband knows to never get it for me again. They have been disappointing!
They used to be good, but the quality has gone downhill.
Some grocery stores will make an edible arrangement if you call and ask their flower department.
I agree. Totally prefer a snack bouquet with packaged stuff. Cookies, candy, crackers. Those are adorable. When my husband's mother passed away, the place he works sent a Harry & David basket. The fruit was so vile when you opened it, it smelled like alcohol. If it had been once, maybe it woukd be ok. We got one another time from someone else, and it too was just appalling. I wouldn't order a Harry & David shipment if it was free, and I was starving, lol
Try The Swiss Colony!
This basically confirmed why I have never bought anything off facebook ads. I guessed the price was gonna be way more than it's worth lol thank you for taking one for the team
Omggg seeing YVR cookie made my day. These are local hometown small business and seriously a 10/10. I’m so glad people across the country are getting to experience them!! 🥰🙏
I spent over $100 on the Blume and got 5 different powder types. I tried about 2 tbsp of each and I sooo wanted to love them but unfortunately they just weren’t for me. BUT their customer service was AMAZING and literally gave me 100% refund and let me keep the product. So I took them to work hoping someone else will like them. The only one I did enjoy, was their matcha.
Amazing to hear that about their customer service! I personally love Blume drinks, but I started with their turmeric and beetroot lattes, and worked my way up to their more ‘inventive’ flavours, so it was less jarring to have an earthy PSL or birthday cake.
But also.. the birthday cake definitely has a fruit punch flavour too it that took me a minute to get past.
ok but realistically how were they gonna demand their product back, it’s food.
David's tea has some great matcha!
I'm glad to see a real review of the blume, there are so many sponsored ads in videos and it just seems weird that everyone likes it.
I'm just appalled at the prices! Ridiculous!Enjoyed watching, though. 😊
Me too!
These cookies are huge! This is a dessert for 3 or 4 people. You can cut everyone a slice and it’s not so expensive anymore. If I could I would order them. 😋
I think the gummies are kohakutou which are japanese jellies made of agar agar. They are easy to make but take sometime. It might be interesting to see you try to make them
They are, but it’s kind of a bastardized version. Traditional kohakutou often has a more delicate appearance, like frosted glass, and the texture is sublime, with a thin crunchy layer and a delicate, softer inside that isn’t chewy, but is like jelly with a lot less give. I’ve been trying to make it myself, but you need certain conditions to get it to cure right.
I would love this to become a series with different sites like Instagram, Etsy, Pinterest, etc. I loved this episode!
I think the chocolates could have been branded chocolates remelted and shaped and decorated by the ppl who sold them for $56 dollars 😅
You can actually make the crystals at home. They are called Kohakutou.
Oops, I just made this same comment before seeing yours! 😅
i’m surprised you didn’t cancel your sweet lollapalooza order! they took your money, didn’t ship your order, kept your money, then demanded more money to ship your order rather than offering a refund or to ship them asap. sooooo sketchy. and they seemed like they were going to be WAY bigger based on their product description, product photos, ads, and packaging.
In the UK we have just had major powercuts. The electric line in my house exploded last night. Its cold, we have no hot water, limited power and all the food has spoiled. I've just picked up mcdonalds and sat down on my floor feeling defeated. This is exactly what I needed! This video has cheered me up ❤ im going to binge all your old videos now too 😊
I am SO sorry you're going throgh that!! That sounds like an absolute nightmare. Thinking of you
Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. I hope it gets resolved soon. Blessings to you and your family.
I’m in UK too. Been raining all day. Hope your house is fixed soon
@CuriosityRocks thank you. Thankfully the UK is much better than other countries such as the US in terms of the severity of storms. I'm grateful for that. Living in the country side in old houses though can be tough! The tinest bit of rain and poof everythings down. £50 of raw meat all gone! No phone signal, no wifi no electricity.
The silky gem candies would be SO good if they could just give them some dang flavor. They just taste like rock candy, but the texture makes them so fun to eat. Would love to try a sour version too. But they are pretty good after a spicier meal like thai or indian food.
Those prices are crazy! On special occasions I order postal brownies and a box of 6 in lovely packaging cost less than £20.
There's also a huge selection of local home bakers who advertise on our local community pages making various cakes, treats and desserts for cheaper than thst.
From what I was told (different country, though), sellers use ordinary sized boxes for even tiny products, because a) they don't want them to get lost; b) they don't want them to get damaged - like it's much easier to accidentally step on a flat tiny box than a regular one. (But the chocolates could have been sent in a simple padded envelope anyway...)
I absolutely love your videos!!! I don't bake or even eat that much baking but your videos are so fun, entertaining and enjoyable to watch. You two have the best energy!
I love your raw opinions and commentary! More of this! Your content is fantastic and I so appreciate what you both do!
Yes! I needed your positivity today!💜
I just love to see you bake and rate bakeries! I think it would be fun to see you bake cakes from different countries and rate them! For example in Denmark we have brunsviger, hindbærsnitter and drømmekage! All cakes that most danes love! I'm sure other countries have special cakes as well!
I love your videos so much! With how expensive everything is I usually just take inspo from certain ads and make things myself on a budget lol
Want more vids wen u bake a cake..its really fun to watch n love it.
I love watching ur videos cos they are fun nd a mood changer.
Thank u laurie for being my therapist.
Sooo appreciate your honesty about all the products and the experience with the companies. As a Saskatchewan resident, I share your frustration about shipping to Canada 😵💫
Loved the emotional roller coaster! ❤❤We NEED a series of you making 5-star versions of classic childhood snack cakes and cookies... I mean, gourmet Nanaimo bars and Joe Louis!?? YES PLEASE 😋🍪🍰🍮
I’d love to see Laurie take on own spin of the baked goods ❤
Especially those stuffed cookies! 😍🤤
Omg, I love you. I just came across your channel and have been lying in bed loving every second of your personality. Love cameraman Hubby as well. Hitting the subscribe button cause I am not gonna miss out on anything. This may be the 3 videos I have seen this morning, but I am already intrigued after video 1. Keep up the amazing work with everything you're doing. 💜
I’ve never ordered any desserts from FB…..just don’t trust FB. I usually rely on recommendations from friends, family….or wait for you Laurie to do the work for me…🤭🤭 Everything you ordered was exhortatively expensive in price of product and shipping. That’s pretty much why I wouldn’t bother. The stuffed cookies seemed the best, but at $8 + a cookie….no way. I’ll stick to shopping local. There are some awesome sweet shops in my area, and online local vendors who make awesome goodies.
Will you be recreating those cookies as well? They look absolutely delicious
I love your videos so much! I like to decorate deserts myself, and you're an idol to me 💜
I would LOVE to see you make the sugar crystals at home the recipe is all over! I also would enjoy seeing you make stuffed cookies maybe even into a cookie cake or pull apart cake
Just found your page! Love the idea of this video!! Looking forward to binge watching all of your content!! Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Ok now we need a recipe for stuffed cookies mmm they looked good!
Love your honesty! Great vid ❤
I think the kohakutou (the gem gummies) are so pretty and you can def make them for cheaper. The reason they are expensive is probably cuz you have to wait for them to harden, they cut it by hand, the flavours are interesting and they are not common. People usually up the price for something like that, tho I wonder how much they cost in Japan.
omg the prices! your sacrifice is so appreciated tho because I'm always curious about such things!
Yay new video!!!!! I love your videos!❤
Can you make a whole video where it's just Kevin speaking your thoughts? So funny!
THIS!!! Then find out how accurate he was by comparing what he thinks your numbers are for the products to what they actually are.
My guess is the chocolates that were not listed on the leaflet are seasonal. Like vampire mouth one seems a bit halloweeny
In the middle of watching something else, CZcams interrupts me to say that Laurie and Kevin have a new video posted. Sorry what I'm already watching, gotta go! I know it can be a little difficult to appreciate added time into the cost of custom made products, but some of those were ridiculous for pricing and shipping. Yes, chocolates, specifically you and that nonsense packaging.
Thanks for being here so early (and ditching someone else's video LOL)! Delivery for everything is nuts. For example you can buy flowers at the store for $20 but to get them delivered is $75. SO it's good to keep that kind of thing in mind with some of these.
@@TheIcingArtist It's bonkers stuff for sure!
I love this type of video from you!!💖💖💖
For one edible arrangement in cali i paid over $120., and it was for mothers day.... 3 people, but it was so expensive that we could only get one, and literally everyone got a maximum of 4 pieces of fruit from the arrangement. I could have made the entire thing for all three people for less than a fraction of that. A fruit flower isn't always needed. Crafts, even edible ones, can be fun.
I've ordered from Silky Gem twice. Love them! The exchange rate and shipping do make a big difference though, so I've only done it as a treat. I'll do it again the the new year sometime.
I love Blume lattes!! But I CACKLED because I had the same reaction to the birthday cake one! Once I got over the fruit punch flavour I could enjoy it as birthday cake, but I definitely got hit with fruit punch before birthday cake which was.. odd. I LOVE the psl, especially when I add it to (decaf) coffee.
I don’t think they’re made to be drank *because* they’re healthy, it’s just a ‘if you’re going to have an afternoon drink, it’s easier on the body to have spices and ashwaganda than caffeine’
I’ve also found that I enjoy them way more when my palette isn’t calibrated to refined sugar. Like, of course it’s going to taste earthy after eating stuffed cookies, the point of it is that it’s a low sugar/sugar free latte! That you can get the flavour without the sugar based syrups.
I’d suggest giving them another shot without a) trying them right after eating something super sweet and b) without expecting it to taste like a cake, to frame it as natural blends with inspiration from the flavours.
I think I like them more because I was introduced to them with their turmeric and beetroot lattes, and then tried out the salted caramel and birthday cake evolutions. I can see how it would be jarring starting with the ‘birthday cake’.
(After all that- off to the kitchen to make myself a birthday cake latte 😂)
I love the running gag that they don't ship to your location!
Thank you for this video! 😀🌺
The cookies look amazing i for sure would be warming them big boys up! Wow!
loved this kind of video!!
Hi from Scotland. Love your channel. Would you consider doing one of your ones from various bakeries but being free-from? I have a dairy allergy, but love baking.
This was a very good and informative video. Please expose, I mean, do more videos like these please ❤
Love that you’re using Silk!
I worked at Edible arrangements for my first job in high school. I honestly recommend it to get familiar in the working field and customer service. It’s a hands on and kinda fun job that lets u be a lil creative too.
been off sugar & processed foods for 43 days ..and the way im going thru apples and bananas watching this with tears in my eyes
more of these videos please! 😍
It would also be cool to make a dessert using something from all the items at the end!
best dessert channel!!! 💓
I previously foun out abt this channel, i have now watched mosg of ur videos❤❤❤ Love ya!!!❤
Love your videos!!❤
Thanks for the Blum taste test... their ads have been wearing me down but I think I can resist them now 😂
I'm sure I've seen those last chocolates in supermarkets, and got some on reduced. But those cookies.... Definitely look like a birthday treat! I got a similar cookie cake slice from a place in the UK that took me 3 days to eat (currency wise, probably the same as those) so I feel like as a special occasion, probably worth it. I want to try that oreo one!
If you ever go to denmark EU ,you need to visit southern Jylland in the summer .As we have something called coffee table it is 20+ difrend cakes
For the last one i seriously thought there was nothing there and it was juat a piece of cardboard😂
But seriously what was the purpose of the large box😂
They're going to kill their business with those kids of shipping prices and packaging!! It crazy!
@@TheIcingArtist seriously that could happen
By the way loved the video🙂👍
You should try Li-Lac Chocolates. Sort of what you hoped for in this video but it seems like a good company
I love your shirt as a genZ … very nostalgic… I wouldn’t call gem stone crystals as gummies because they could easily be confused as something else. Love your channel! Excited for your next realistic cake video… those are my favorite ❤️
was waiting for you to do something like this!! love you laurie :3
I've been wanting to do something like this!! Everytime I see an ad on social media, I always wonder what the product is really like!
are you planning on doing this again? this is such a fun video !! @@TheIcingArtist
I have literally given up on Facebook. I even canceled my account probably over a year ago now and I don’t miss it at all.
I don't think I'd order a ready made bake online, seems expensive and arrives a mess 😅 I'll stick to baking them myself! 😉
your face eating that cookie is an advertisement in itself 😅❤
WOWZA you sold me on those cookies 🍪 now I want one
You should try the tastely box candy shop! They're in Peterborough ON and have crystal candy, freeze dried candy and international candies too!
😂😂😂 If your mouth doesnt say it your face will. Love watching you two 😂😂😂
Blume is sell locally in my coffee shop store section. Iuse a few of their product (chaï and matcha powder) and they are good and legit. I use the powder for cooking like making a chaï whipped cream. Alternative to coffee (like maca, chicory or chaga) are nothing like coffee... that probably why you did like them you did not know. Fun video.
Seconding your thoughts about Blume! They’re good but they’re certainly not sweet and definitely not Starbucks
Ahhh silky gem! I’ve been curious to try for years, but never have because of the price and have always wondered if it’s worth it. Their store front actually isn’t that crazy far away from me, so I’ve considered going straight to them to try without shipping 🤣
Make it at home!! All you need is this vegan gelatin powder and sugar basically..for flavor some flavored syrup and it works pretty well. Worst case scenario I got hard candies instead of slightly gelled ones haha. Just cook it and put them in molds..WAY cheaper!!
Those cystral candies are super cool! Shame they didn’t taste great would you consider making some?
Firstly I LOVE YOU LAURIE!😅 and secondly sugar geek show has an edible crystal tutorial kind of like these but better. I would love to see you try the recipe
LAURIE! If you ever come to Windsor Ontario, we have some AMAZING cookies that are like the stuff cookies!! Called The Cookie Bar
Oh the facial expressions 😂😂 xx
Really the only thing Ive ordered from a FB ad was a drink mix.
Those cookies looked amaaaaaaaazing though :O
I had no idea you were in Canada. Your energy gives Seattle lol
We have the most insane ice cream sandwiches here in Calgary that I get delivered sometimes called D’Served and *god* this video made me want one so bad.
I ordered these cookies ❤ sooo yummy but expensive for sure!
Those cookies look good
You should try to recreate the gem candy and try to make better flavors. Rosanna Pansino did it while back and it was successful. It takes a long time for them to set up and get crunchy on the outside though.
Having not one, but 3 coeliac peeps at my house, we rarely can find things gluten-free, let alone things that deliver. But oh, during lockdown and discovering a place that made and delivered gluten-free doughnuts for Mother's Day - life-changing. However, the best thing we get delivered is potato chips (also discovered during lockdown). Grown in the South Island, and shipped to us in the North Island in NZ - delightful! I might just make an order right now...
Facebook ads are crazy targeted! So fun!
I'd actually really like to see your take one silkygem, similar to how you tried crumbl cookies
