    Food Theory: What chocolate takes the longest to melt? I want a chocolate bar or candy that I won't need to worry about melting, and I want the best option possible. Perhaps a specific method would make it last longer like freezing beforehand or putting the chocolates in some sort of concoction? I know you're the guy for the job MatPat, make me proud.

    Honestly, as a male, the Doritos idea of making a version that is less crunchy and powdery sounds good to me.
    It should have been be marketed as a “stealth” version or even a “theatre edition”.
    Easier to eat at the movies, or for office workers to eat chips at their desk at work, or for students at the library or the back of the classroom haha.
    It’s a shame they had to take the “female version” route for that idea. Males can appreciate clean and quiet chips too.

    • @jentryiguess
      @jentryiguess Před 2 lety +191

      I thought the “female edition” was disgusting cause we can be gross too and gives in the stereotype that women are always proper. I love your ideas of renaming it!
      If they were to exist as “female edition,” I bet they will be more expensive as regular Doritos because woman’s tax lol

    Fun Fact: last night, I had a dream that Food theory did an episode comparing fruit candy to chocolate candy, both their nutritional values and flavor profiles, to find which one was better. I still remember the opening was that MatPat was excited to eat excessive amounts of candy only to get a stomach ache before finishing a single packet of Gushers. Can you please make this a reality?

    I'm really curious if the shape of the chip is a factor in crunch volume, like crinkly Ruffles or rolled-up Takis. There's a chip brand I used to eat a lot called Sensible Portions, which had a very delicious veggie chip that was both zig-zaggy and slightly bowl-shaped, and it had a pretty good crunch for being a relatively soft chip.

  • @dyscotopia
    @dyscotopia Před 2 lety +307

    As someone who worked in a poutine restaurant, partially frying a destarched potato (which can be done after slicing in cold water over night), setting aside to cool, and then finishing the frying results in a fry that is crispy and crunchy enough to not immediately melt under the moisture of the gravy. So yeah, the same technique with your chips, thick cutting them, would result in a crunchier result.

    Wild hypothesis: I'm wondering if decibel levels alone are a good metrics for crunchiness... some research would need to be done but my instinct tells me crunchier chips would have more high-frequency content in the spectrum (which might not necessarily result in higher decibels) whereas soggier chips would have more low-frequency content in the spectrum. So... yeah, a spectrogram analysis might yield more faithful results!

      Definitely needs to alter to a different shape maybe, and the thickness - would also trying a version of the thicker beet chips that are baked after parboiling, as many thicker-cut baked chips produce sturdy and thicc crunch. :)

    Suggestion: For draining, don't let the chips pile on each other and use a wire rack turned upside down on paper towels, this puts the metal rack in contact with the paper allowing them to more effectively wick away oil without letting the chips rest on the soggy paper towels. Less oil bogged chip = better crunch

    Hey Matt,
    Could you look into fast-food french fries? I'm positive that they are doing something that makes them impossible to reheat and enjoy. Maybe find out what it is, how you can reheat them successfully and which fast-food fries are the best to reheat? Anyways thought it would be an interesting theory for you to match all the fast food videos.

      @NightTheDragonOfPurgatory Před 2 lety +23

      Honestly, I don't think any oil-fried fries are good reheated or leftover. Pretty much all fried foods I've had from restaurants and takeout places and made at home aren't good reheated because they dry out or just don't taste the same. I usually end up just eating them leftover cold, depending on what it is. Then again, all of the fried foods I make at home are meats (chicken tenders, chicken thigh fritters, thin-cut, boneless pork chops, and pork tenderloin medallions), so they're fine leftover. But fries as a whole for me are never great again, reheated or otherwise.

      The confusion isn't about why someone would want a quieter chip. You just touched on the actual issue.

    Food Theory Suggestion: growing up in the 70's and 80's I was indoctrinated into a number food related urban legends often centered around samonila. One I recall was the care required to never let jelly (refrigerated) get into the peanut butter or it will give you samonila. This nrings me down the rabbit hole to the modern concern with food allergies and the insistence by some that these allergies never existed in the before times. But now I wonder were all these 70's and 80's food fables just the explainations given to the physical symptoms people sometimes felt due to allergies, rather than actual illness? I recall a study several years back suggesting some short term flus (24 hour bugs) were actually just cases of food poisoning, but I feel too little has been done on the question of how legends get created to explain phenomenon that are in truth based on annecdotal rather than empirical evidence.

    A food theory/question genre idea: comparing different kinds of ingredients to prove whether particular versions are more or less important when making a particular cuisine or if they can be authentically traded out. The most noticeable one I've come across is cinnamon. I'd be curious about different kinds of citrus (key lime, the Japanese citrus fruit, etc., versus what can be typically found in a small grocery store). The Japanese citrus fruit is supposedly amazing, but I have only seen it in pastries since there's not a huge population of people from that country.

  • @finkelmana
    @finkelmana Před 2 lety +309

    Chips should be placed spaced out on a wire rack to dry. This allows any oil to drip away. If chips are piled together, that traps the oil in between. Placing them on paper towels just holds the oil on the chip. More importantly, you should not be eating the chips to test their crunch. Your mouth is creating different shapes and moisture levels, which affect the volume. You should have made a rig to simulate a consistent bite.

    If frying something is just dehydrating it, then does that mean that Megamind’s dehydration gun is just a ranged fryer?

    You should chop tortillas into quarters and fry them.When we did it We didn't have a fryer and we just used oil in a pot and we heated it up and they were super crunchy.

    The word of the day is psychosomatic. Any feeling from crunchy food being associated with the taste of the food, such as the freshness, is purely thought based and has no real reflection on the food itself. I love watching Matt explain this stuff in such detail!

      I confused this with 'psychonautic' and was very confused what recreational drug use had to do with crunch. 😂

    It PAINS ME that they didn’t use the Max Hold button to display only the maximum decibels heard. I guess they can always use the footage captured to see the maximum number, but let’s be more efficient MatPat!

      Clearly they didn't do it well though. Personally I saw glimpses of higher decibels on some of them. These two are great, but in these types of experiments it's important to get the numbers 100% accurate

      @@galaxybun8775 I imagine they were working with averages since each chip would have been tested more than once, I imagine the stuff they showed was just a small sample of what they did to record data (science isn't about one and done experiments, got to replicate things at least a few times to minimize outliers and all that.)
