Might have gone a bit overboard with that one, really curious what you guys think of the video. Do you care more for stories or for recipes? Or both? Also, what is the best color of froot loops? I think they need to bring back blue
Both!!!!!!!
Definitely both! Recipes are easy to look up in written form. The story is what makes your vids so engaging. 👍😁
I have to agree with everyone on this one.
Your story telling is 10/10 😂
Both. Very much both.
As a fellow german, I have to ask, aren't the mid eighteenhundreds actually around the year 1750? I'm not really sure though. In germany the 18th century would be from 1701 to 1800.
Just to make sure, you don't get me wrong. I really love the content. Great videos, great host, in deep coverage. Maybe this one isn't the right one for me, as you mentioned in your final words. Cereals are just no part of my usual morning routine. So many other videos of yours opened up a whole new perspective of cuisine to me though. Thank you very much. If you don't sub over here, where else would you? Lovin' it, keep goin' on.
Bon Appétit: implodes and stops Gourmet Makes
Andong: hold my cornstarch
Samy AMAR That’s exactly what I was thinking 😂
😂
I hope this means he will make the other gourmet makes in a way that is actually home made
yes! was thinking that too
What happened at Bon Appetit???
This is filling the "Gourmet Makes" shaped hole in my heart since Bon Apetit Magazine is now the Jeffree Starr of the food world.
EXACTLY👏
What happened?
@@charlie_mario6292 It was revealed to be a super toxic workplace that was especially bad for people of color
THANK YOU!! that's the best comparison I've heard about the whole debacle haha
@@charlie6923 honestly, people liked that channel for their personalities, so I really don't understand why the hosts don't just leave BA and start their own thing. Cut out the middle man and free themselves from that toxic environment.
Andong: "How did cereal turn into this literal wall of sh-"
Me: "shame"
Andong"-sugar"
Me: "oh"
😂
I thought of "-it", but that works too.
“Every loop tastes the bloody same!”
- me, on Fruit Loops, (at 10 years of age)
It killed me when I learned this about trix cereal
There must be justice served to these capital deceivers🤬
Well seeing "froot" is not "fruit" I never expected them to actually contain any fruit... but plenty of froot... and tons of loops..
that never occurred to me actually ;D
0% fruit, 100% loops
Starting to sound like some kind of Dr. Seuss story
@cujoedaman lmfao 3 years later but you are right.
I said to myself that I would skip to the end to see the result, but you got me so interested in the story that I ended up watching the whole video
Lol same
Kellogg: "Corn is cheap feed for animals. I know, let's add sugar and feed it to the masses and say its nutritious." The epitome of America.
MOO!
I mean it is nutritious... if you nixtamalize it first. But I guess Americans don't want cereal that tastes like tortillas.
@@fluidthought42 If I wanted tortillas, I would buy tortillas and not fucking cereal.
capitalism*
Actually, historically it was the opposite. Kellogg originally crafted those corn snacks without any salt and sugar and intentionally wanted the product to be bland in taste. It relates to his view of the world. It's a very interesting origin, actually.
Sugar is one of the most addictive substances in our world. That's why they sold so well, that's why cereal sales so well now.
@@nateman10 Not exactly since it has been proven that sugar is an addictive substance.
I could imagine some dumb movement advocating to van sugar then suddenly it's *Prohibition 2.0 Sugar Boogaloo*
@@nateman10 but fruit just so fkin hassle to store compared to the other
Capt. Crunch is my weakness.
@@nateman10 but it really is. People that try to quit eating added sugar (so still eating fruit ofc) have the typical withdrawal symptoms like headaches, being unfocused, bad mood etc.
Plus nowadays almost everything you buy at the supermarket has added sugar..
I really like the idea of showing us the history of foods and how you can make them yourself at home.
Respect to all that research and work. Good job Andong.
You should check tasting history, is a channel dedicated to recreating old medieval recipes while telling the history of such recipes
As you were making this I thought of the freeze dried and ground strawberries I have. The flash frozen stuff makes an incredible powder thay you could probably put right into your base.
wow, I literally just subbed to your channel and andong's channel today. interesting discovery I have today.
Well, i didnt expect to see the one and only chefpk here this was a surprise 😂
Yaas, fruit powder! I just bought my first one to try. Lemon.
WTF man, you are becoming the Justin Y. of culinary You Tube (love your channe).
Oh, snap! I have several bags of frozen mulberries I've wanted an idea for, beside simple jam, or a syrup. Plant based food is my passion.
When I was a(dutch) kid I never understood why some people would put Milk in an bowl and then eat it with cereal, I always was wondering why too not just put the Milk and cereal it in a glass and drink it😅😅
because a bowl is bigger , means more cereal , spoon for ease of equal parts of cereal and ,ilk , simple as that
21:40, my anxiety increasing that he has been letting them soak in milk this whole time without tasting yet X-D
Same.
YES!!
Also that milk ratio is so off. ALSO… wtf is with that brown milk bottle? 🤢
@@IXOY3007 it's brown colored glas😱😱😱
@@IXOY3007 Brown coloured glass bottles for fresh milk are quite common in Germany, to protect the contents from direct light. Or is just pure aesthetical choice, as brown coloured glass suggests quality, at least here in Germany.
Impressed that a video about cereal didn’t mention Kellogg until 7 minutes in, actually learned new things! That “Quisp” mention did give me a little PTSD from watching Joshua Weissman videos, though

Im totally gonna make a presentation about the history of cereal for school. I will tell you how it was in an edit
Edit: I did it. My teacher said it was the best one
Ah, as an aspiring teacher, you have the right material kiddo.
Hell yeah!
Congratulations!

This guy is the most american german with russian origin I've seen, still guy became probably my favorite youtuber in like a week, he has such a great content
Same
Also speaks perfect Chinese
Also his name is very simliar with south east Asian name
Mr. Worldwide
I don’t think he is American, he is German and lives there
sjaaksjok thats what he said. An american German(like american is the adjective)
Theres a comedy about kellogg and his sanitarium called "The Road to Wellville" and i cant recommend it enough
Honestly this sounds like a good alternative to commercial cereals if you just cut it up into squares instead of shaping them
To me, lemon myrtle tastes exactly like what they flavor fruit loops with. Wasn't exposed to the herb till i moved to Australia but the resemblance blew my mind.
Freesia flowers also smell similar
Agreed! When this hit me I was so confused. Also when I use lemongrass I always think of froot loops. Funny how the smell alone feels so sweet.
Lemon and lavenser essential oil = fruitloops smell
I came for a recipe, I found a guy calling WW2 a "break"
Just discovered this channel while looking for home made cereal. What a very engaging, smart and likeable young man. Good to see quality content like this on CZcams along with all the mindless dross! Keep up the excellent work Andong, respect from the UK.
Actually you can also manage the blue coloring with a more simple ingredient: red cabbage. Do not let the name decieve you :) Interestingly it reacts with acids and change color just like your plant!
And easily available.
I second this!
I minute this!
I was wondering the same thing. The cabbage works great in dying the shells of eggs, but I don't know if it would work the same with the flour mix and being bakes, plus baking soda always makes stuff change color. Did anyone anything like this?
Or red onion peels, I think, also do the trick.
"water healing"
Enemas. That means enemas.
Although it could also refer to hydrotherapy. Both were popular treatments in sanitariums of the day.
I'm starting my own indie cereal brand and this is a big help, thank you very much ♥️
For blue you could also use blue spirulina ;)
I studied food science and back in the days we made erdnussflips (peanut butter version of Cheetos(really popular in Germany)) in the university but now i am curious since the same type of machine is used for those and fruit loops, how "fruity" fruit loops would turn out. The machine used is called an extruder, which works with pressure difference, inside the machine you have high pressure and heat (125°C+) and when the food comes out the water inside the food will vaporize, which expanded the mixture and everything becomes puffy. All sorts of puffy cereals, snacks or even bread is made with those type of machines. That said, for most applications the seasoning is after this step, such as Cheetos or Erdnussflips, because the flavor also often vaporize. You will often see those type of foods are quite dull, its more about the texture rather than the actual flavor.
So my educated guess would be that "real" fruit loops would be quite blend, and that you won't really feel the fruit taste and at the same time, the cost would be pretty high. Fruits are obviously way more expensive than corn flour. Which is I guess one of the reasons we don't really see such stuff. And out of Marketing perspective you want to have visible whole fruits, rather than fruit puree, when you embrace the healthy aspect. A combination of those aspects will be the reason why we don't see "real" fruit loops.
That said I could ask a friend of mine, who might or might not work in a cereal factory, why we don't see fruity fruit loops.
@stockart whiteman They use a combination of a solution with some powder, so that you don't get sticky/fatty fingers, obviously you will still have some residue, but same goes for other snacks. Generally speaking, you don't want to use fatty powders, because they will cause oxidation of the fat, which leads to an unpleasant flavor.
The Peanut butter flavor is the dominant one here in germany, you can also find other flavors, Barbecue, Curry or cheese, however we still refer them as Erdnussflip (Peanut thingy).
I never thought that those peanut butter Cheetos would be specific for Germany, until I had an American roommate. For a party I got some snacks, and he saw those peanut things, he thought those are off colored Cheetos, he tried them and disliked them. Just because he was expecting different, he tried them later again and liked them.
In Eastern Europe, slightly salty cheetos are popular, so no other flavor, just some salt. I had a Ukrainian girlfriend who really loved them.
stockart whiteman It‘s actually really tasty. It’s more like roasted peanuts than peanut butter taste in my opinion.
Your presentations are superb. A fine mix of entertainment, humor and erudition. a new go to for me.
The Quality of the Videos and the work you put in them are Incredible!
“The commercial one is neon color”
My man has never seen American Froot Loops...
Or Apple jacks lol
Why would he have seen it? He's German
@@gordonchen9510 because travel
Those look depressing
@@bardz0sz oh yeah true I sure love to go on holiday to try breakfast cereal
4:25 be honest, how many takes did it take to record this without rolling on the floor laughing?
About 5-6 I believe :D
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! THIS VIDEO IS GORGEOUS!
I loved the colors, the setting, the black recipients, the story, the design of german cereal boxes, EVERYTHING.
This is one of my favorite videos, thank you.
What an amazing project. Thank you for sharing this with us!

HAHAHHAHAHA so wahr
The deconstruction is amazing:
"Yes you can get fruit loops, but we live in the XXI, so why not just make porridge with fruits in it?"
It's more affordable in the long run and if your freeze it, and you actually taste fruit, without the added sugars and citric acid to "mimic".
"Soak it in milk overnight"
You mean to tell me the first breakfast cereal used to hold up in milk all fuckin night and MY shit gotta be dusted in under 2 minutes or it turns to mush? WACK!
I just found this channel for the first time in my suggestions. Man, I've been missing out. This is awesome content.
1:19
Andong: "I managed to come up with these Froot Loops that are indeed almost 50% fruit, and definitely, 100%..."
Me: "Loops"
Andong: "...natural ingredients"
Heh, I thought the same thing ^^
Aww
Really appreciate the huge amount of work you put into making these man! Honestly they look healthier and better than the synthetic froot loops 👍🏻
i love this!!! love seeing the history of it and you edit so well with nice visuals with the pics and videos when you tell the story
oh man this is just your second video that I watch but I must say your content is truly truly good. you know your stuff, you show it in an entertaining way and it is all very interesting from head to toes. wow!
Me mum bought Honey Pops from the Alnatura store. Darkest day of my childhood.
By the way, i think you should really team up with Tasting History some time. I think this could be a fun oportunity for you to taste some ancient recepies and learn more about the history of food and western quisine.
I love to buy them for my son, so he gets used to them :D
Cuisine not quisine

How dare you educate us in such an entertaining way :D You, sir, are amazing!
Yes you're right it is unacceptable. This was a plot of selling their malnutrition cereals and fooled people into thinking breakfast was the most important meal and cereals was a must to be had.
Isn't Spirulina blue as well? Love how we learned about some extremly weird cereal facts 😂.
I was thinking about Spirulina since I saw the Spirulina Kombucha and how blue it was.
Spirulina taste like I imagine licking the inside of a fish tank would taste like 🤢
@@jacquelinedailey1444 lol it doesn't taste too bad
@@jacquelinedailey1444 spirulina is some kind of plankton right? I think i remember that my dad used to work in a factory that made spirulina and there is this huge green pool that looks like a swamp
Spirulina is a "blue-green" algae lol
Kellogg wouldn't approve the use of flowers from the CLITORIA family to add color to cereal that's for sure LOL
Just WOW! There has to be so much work outside the video wich went into it! My respect
Honestly was running out of cooking channels to watch (Which like there's hundreds so the problem is clearly me), but I'm glad I randomly stumbled upon your channel. You clearly put a lot of research and post-production time into your videos and it really shows in the quality visually and informatively. I look forward to watching your back-log of videos!
ikr!
My viewing history has brought me to this man. I am satisfied with what I've done.
this was on my recommendation and i kid you not i watched with the intention of watching how homemade fruitloops was made... but i ended up totally immersed with the history explanation.. i forgot why was i here for lol. great video anyway!!
For bright blue, you can also use blue spirulina powder. Its difficult to find, but it's a natural bacteria powder which is incredibly blue.
Let's say you did only one flavor, and cut them in a simple shape like squares or triangles, would it be worth it then?
Yes i think so! Recipe can use some refinement but that could work!
Doesn't even have to be evenly shaped!
Soooo like American fruity pebbles?
cherry squares?
Thanks for this, very well researched history segment. One addition to the semi-recent marketing: When I was a child the absolute most important thing about a box of cereal was the toy hidden in the box. It seems to have gone away about 20 or so years ago. I'm guessing it was outlawed as a choking hazard.
It, indeed, was outlawed due to that. In cartoons nowadays, it's not hard to find character's choking on the toys inside the cereal box.
They were fun, but good riddance to the plastic waste.
I love, that you don't praise everyone of your experiments, but admit that you had higher hopes. Makes your channel very authentic and overall more believable.
You're doing a great job!
Hey Andong. I just found your channel the other day and have to say I am really, really enjoying your content. Thanks for doing what you're doing buddy, keep up the good work.

Love it when the recepie comes with a mini documentary!
The ratio of food that needs to be explored and the available amount of Andong is not nearly adequately. That's a shame. =(
But the nice thing is, I think he will never run out of video ideas. =)
this is some of the most original food-based content I've seen on youtube. definitely subscribing.

You mean froot
@@kingsambition2179 lmao im ded
wut? no it isn't. on cob it's a vegetable. the individual kernals are grains
@@ImdaVP from a culinary standpoint, you're right. But botanically, the corn we eat is the receptacle in which the seeds are carried and so it is a fruit.
Corn is a grain
I like how he's perfectly honest with his verdict :D
Omg !!! How come you don't have millions of subscribers!! This is insane you are amazing !!!
This was not the kind of video that I was expecting at all, but I'm not disappointed. Quality content!!!
When he was talking about the history I actually forgot I was watching a video about froot loops
I've had blueberries on their own do the same color change when added to oatmeal. Unfortunately blue food is super-unsettling to eat.
Love your channel! lots of cool history and awesome cooking!!!
Kudos for your hard work and research and your knowledge and understanding makes for a really interesting video
The lack of neon colors really makes me realize how much chemicals there are in American food
Raisin bran has always been my favourite cereal but it's so damn expensive.
"You come for the recipe but stay for the story" is so fitting, you should add it to your channel description.
No friend of cereal here, but I liked your video and kudos for going through the whole shabang of researching the history and every ingredient and actually producing your own fruity fruit loops!!! I really appreciate your scientific approach to your vids! 🙇🏻♀️👌🏼👍🏻🥇🏅🏆🤩
Normally I’m quite a silent viewer. However, this is sick.
"Sick" as in sickening, or as in badass cool?
@@dietrevich its badass cool
@@dietrevich why would it be sickening? Its just cereal
@@peixearrombado some people think pineapples in pizza is sickening and gross. So having real fruit in milk would be no different, people have different taste buds and ideas of what is considered normal for them.

I'm a boomer. Oh yes, I remember all those sugary cereals. At some point, mom put a bit of a kibosh on it and limited our intake to a once in awhile thing. Mostly bought Cheerios, which seem more healthy. I know adults to this day are "addicts" to their sugary cereal. Used to get an ad for "Keto Sugary cereal". No idea what was in it, beans and monkfruit sweeterner maybe? I can't believe you did all that. But reminds me of something that is a kind of on and off thing on America's Test Kitchen (make things like gummy bears)--but even they never tried that one. Subscribe for sure.
This man giving me tips and instruction like Im actually gonna make it
New subscriber this was my intro video to your channel. I really enjoyed the tutorial and also the history lesson. I say definitely keep it going I like substance with my food recipes and preparation content so I'd say you got a good thing going. Thanks for the content, I hope to see more!
Great work!!!
finally, a worthy breakfast. I haven't had some good froot loops for a while. I'm hungry
I literally forgot this video was about replicating froot loops 😆 really cool video though
Just found your channel and I love it man. I’m really going to try one of your recipes out.
This was amazing. I think I’ll be starting all my comments out like this from now on. I mean, your production and your presentation is just phenomenal and interesting-phenomenally interesting!! Rarely do I keep my full attention on a video from start to finish. I rewinded on the parts I was interrupted in. You would create a great tv show, outside of social media.
Btw I love healthy cereals. The ones with 2-3 ingredients. I was so happy when I saw them pop up in stores so I’m excited to see that the mango and cherry flavors were accentuated in the way you made them. Fun to watch, too! Great job, great video
We're loopy for Andong 🤣
