Which one of these DEADLY ITEMS surprised you most?
Mochi, for sure.
Thankyou for the warning ⚠️
1:27
I see what you did there.... 😈🤣
1:47
Argh! 😂 you keep doing it! 😅
I will be careful eating you
@MrsEats. I HEARD SOMETHING TRULY DISTURBING TODAY. I didn't believe it, but I wanted to verify it with you! If anyone knows, it's @MrsEats.
Someone is trying to tell me that the ABSOLUTELY disgusting practice of Chinese to collect and use "gutter oil" is ALSO a thing in Japan?
I have to know!!
The sausage example killed me. My only disappointment was that we didn't get a Mr. Eats reaction 😂
He was too busy in the background swallowing the rest of the sausages and white sticky stuff. Like a pro.
I laughed out loud. That was hilarious.
I simply cannot tell whether to take this as disturbing innuendo or just a purely child-like description...
That was priceless!
I'm pausing out of 2nd hand embarassment of sausage then read this 😂😂😂
During my recent trip to Japan I was amazed how big the bathtubs actually were. Was the first time I took an actual bath instead of a shower in years. I’m proud to say, it didn’t kill me.
How do we know you didn’t die?? We’re just supposed to take your word for it? 🤨
😂😂😂
Wow! Sounds like Mr. Eats is excellent at swallowing sausages and white sticky stuff! 😂😂😂 I love your humor Mrs. Eats!
He mastered it!
His old surname was Throatgoat.
@@MrsEatsyour jokes are so hilarious 😂🤣
I’m about to release
I'm DEAD! HAHAHAH!
I like how this channel tells it as it is, with humor and very useful facts, instead of promoting and distorting reality like jp is some kind of utopia like most other channels do.
Agreed, and it seems to be an issue with a lot of cultural exchange content, in my experience, not just Japanese centric stuff 👍🏻
Thank you! I like to be realistic, but I still love Japan!!
@MrsEats Yes, me too, I've visited jp many times. I simple grew tired of the long list of channels that promote jp like a utopia. Your channel is so grounded, funny and in touch with reality.
@@RHColeike the abundance of French diet and lifestyle worshipping. 🙄
what do you think of channels that promote Japan as if it were a dystopia? I think there are more channels like that these days.
Yeah, those kerosene heaters… at first everyone is really careful to maintain good ventilation. But gradually people start to see then as benign and ‘forget’ to open a window or door, because comfort takes precedence over danger, I guess.
That was how it was with my family, anyway. But then last year we finally rebuilt our home, and now we have central heating! So no more kerosene OR freezing to death in the winter! (Now the only thing I have to worry about is paying off that bank loan. 😅)
This explains why my mother couldn't eat rice, without getting very constipated and getting a lot of gut pain. I always thought she just had trouble with fiber, but it was only rice that she complained about.
Especially glutinous rice!!
@@MrsEatsI am gluten intolerant. Started age 5. Diagnosed age 48. Arthritis, chronic constipation, bloating, white pimples on arms.
Ate more Allbran as a child than most eat in a lifetime. The cure was the cause.
Rice is often sold as gluten free, but it isn't. All grass products have their own version of gluten. Rice has the least of its version.
A celiac friend has the worse problems from rice.
@@dawnelder9046 Naaah, you just have woke mental disorder.
No central heating or central air sounds like misery (and it is because I've lived it). I don't care what the cost is - I am happy to pay it to be comfortable!
Yes. I can eat on a budget😊
Correction: central heating/air means a system that is run through vents in the house. Nowadays there are a ton of options like space heaters, wall mounted heaters, window ACs and heat exchangers. Whether or not those are allowed by a landlord is a whole other issue. In many cases these systems can be more efficient and are almost always way cheaper
At least here in the US there are laws forcing landlords to provide heat. Also fortunately or unfortunately, due to it getting so much hotter every year, some states have laws that prohibit landlords from prohibiting window AC units
America: let’s seal our homes from the elements but don’t worry about the toilet doors it lets people peep inside!
Japan: let’s seal our toilet doors, but don’t worry about the house.
There is a product called LifeVac that is an emergency suction device for people who are choking. Sounds like it could save the lives of many elderly Japanese. Thanks for the entertaining and informative video!
mochi is so delicious but i didn't know about it blocking your intestines! i need to be careful when i eat it.. not to eat too much. that's really difficult because it's so good! 😂
Omg the hot dog example...lol !!!! I love your channel so fun and informative
This is my favorite channel about Japan. It's always a treat when you upload!!! Thank you for all the effort you put into this channel!
Me too, long time fan of Mrs. Eats!
My favorite channel about Japan is Abroad in Japan
My favorite channel for learning Japanese is Mochi Real Japanese
Item #1: I haven't laughed like that in at least a week. Thanks, I needed that!
that low tec squatting bathroom is good for your health
I love your sense of humor! I always tell my husband I could totally see us being friends haha!
She is quite funny isn't she? 😂
1:35 - 1:45 The best part of this video ❤
😫 Creepy hentai... 😆
Edit: Close second must be 3:30
Mr. Eats has long throat!
As an american I’ve been conditioned to panic whenever somebody suggests bringing a portable heater inside because I’ve read too many stories about houses burning down from them. I think seeing a kerosene heater in a house in japan would make me run outside, and seeing somebody refilling a kerosene heater would probably give me a stress aneurism. Flammable materials do NOT fuck around and will fuck back if you don’t respect it.
I'm very sensitive to chemical smells, like your brother-in-law. I feel very sick whenever I'm at a gas station, or nail salon, or a place that sells car tires or plant fertilizers. My blood sugar spikes very high (I'm diabetic), and I become dizzy and nauseous. I guess it's important to know that kerosene heaters may do the same thing!
I wasn't sure which of our minds needed to be dragged out of the gutter first. 😂 but dammit now I want mochi.
We all went dirty minded
😂😂😂
Me too😅😅😅 I love mochii
Mochi is easy to make with glutinous/sweet rice flour, sugar, water, flavorings and a microwave.
I can see a future video from the channel “They Will Kill You” one day titled *When Everyday Items in Japan Goes Wrong*
Omg 😳 listening to her explaining about the Mochi and sticky white stuff killed me 🤣
My grandmother used to use a kerosene heater when I was little. I remember the smell made the whole house stink but I don't think I ever got sick from it. Maybe because we had it in the kitchen and the fumes had space to spread out. But since only the kitchen was heated the bedrooms were so cold in winter. At least I had plenty of blankets to keep me warm, which was great until I had to go to the bathroom and sit on the frozen toilet seat. The only time we used one after I was grown is when an ice storm took out our electricity. I wonder if I still have it stored away somewhere?
I'm very surprised that rooms need to be individually heated in Japan. I've always assumed that combi air con/heating units and reversible heat pumps were the norm, given that I've seen a lot of units from Japanese brands such as Fujitsu, Daikin and Mitsubishi. Also, those weird toilets are also encountered in France, though they are getting rare due to influence from neighbouring countries, where normal sit-down types are now more common than the older 'stand-and-deliver' toilets, as we tend to call them in the UK.
You have to pay for each mini split unit so many Japanese only have one or 2 in the bedroom or another heavily used room. Some have that heated table to eat at.
Poor Mr. Eats.😸
Lesson learned, always chew unless it's an sausage.
Too bad winter is either kotatsu or ganbarre. Here in Netherlands people are overheating in summer because the houses are too well isolated sometimes 😂
I am old and managed to watch through the mochi going down the moist throat demo, then just fell out laughing. Oh my, literally laughed so much I teared up.
This is my favorite channel on CZcams. I can never really find any other CZcamsr channels that are as entertaining and interesting as this one is.
The first thing I watch this morning - so now my day will be constantly filled with images of Mr Eats consuming sausages and Mrs Eats taking hot baths
I really love the humor 😄 Mrs Eat is soooo pretty and witty.
I'm from south América, it's so fun to watch explain about estufas (heaters), and how dangerous it could be if used wrongly. I remember a brand of Japan heaters got really popular some years ago, even if they were quite expensive
"squatty caveman crappers" is a hilarious way to describe those toilets
Looks like something you would see in a prison
So mochi is like a chewing gum 🤔🤔
Kind of haha!! But much tastier!!
I had my suspicions about Mr Eats. Thanks for clearing that up.
Thanks. If I ever come to Japan, I will be careful eating mochi and taking a bath. Don't think I'd ever use the heater, we used to have them in Scotland, but I couldn't stand the smell. Think they've been banned now, bit surprised to hear Japan still allows them.
Use your brain and you'll be fine
AAAAAAAAHHHHH I can't with this video, I'm glad no one was home for the mochi section... You seem so innocent and then you hit me with that spicy humor x'D
Bath tubs. As an American, I ask the same question. They are too shallow.!!! The tubs are in the wrong shape.
Mochi is really good if you put it in the toaster until it's crunchy, then dip in shoyu mixed with some sugar.
such a well made video mrs eats! i'm a big fan of urs.
"They end up passing out and having an unfortunate fate." Cannot help but to think of the Happy Mask Salesman saying "You've met with a terrible fate haven't you?"
In some Japanese Anime that I've seen, they use a small electric heater under a table which is covered by a blanket.
You sit around the table with your legs under the blanket to warm up.
NO fumes, and no sickness and / or death.
Right?
It is called a kotatsu. Still very common. The low table without the heater and blanket is called a chabudai.
Omg new video 🥰love your funny inputs, thank you 🙏
Glad you like them!
I used to use a kerosene heater when I was little and my grandparents used one up to an old age in their house. I still remember the smell of it.
I really like this video there were so many interesting things I didn't know.
I think i woke my neighbors up laughing at the throat jokes. You got a new subscriber. I love your humor!
Watching Japanese CZcamsrs with perfect English is also perfect for me when I go to Japan soon. So all of the videos are going to be my guides in the country and I love it! And I can use them as references.
But if you learn a little bit Japanese it will help you so much.
@@mainakpattanayak4605I'm in my one year of learning Japanese already (2022/01/15 to 2023/01/15.)
So cool!! Yes you will enjoy Japan a lot!!
Definitely helps if you can say hello, please and thank you in Japanese. Just be very polite and courteous and you will have a good time and you will leave a good impression on the Japanese people as well.
@MrsEats I'd love to see a video on common Japanese ghost stories and or urban legends you were told when growing up in Japan. For example, I grew up in Hawaii and I'd hear the well known stories about Night Marchers, The Faceless Lady, The Kasha house of Kaimuki, and Pele. What are some urban legends/ghost stories you remember from Japan?
Those earrings are everything. They all look amazing.
Mr Eats getting thrown under the bus😂! Much love to both you all❤
11:04 Of course! If you're not used to kerosene fumes the stuff stink can make your stomach sick quickly. I remember it at some houses back in Argentina.
I know that growing up in the U.S if you went into someone's house and they had a big bathtub
You usually just assumed they were rich because only the wealthy people had those massive jacuzzi looking deep dish tubs 😂
As someone with an extremely sensitive sense of smell I can agree with the beefy BIL. The smell of a kero heater gets to me after a while, and a stuffy CO rich atmosphere does make me sick to my stomach long before anyone else.
@MrsEats How common/numerous are Carbon Monoxide detectors in Japanese homes? Over here (USA) they recommend one in the furnace room or where combustion is happening, as well as one central to sleeping spaces, much like the smoke detectors, although they really are not mandated.
Mrs Eats CZcams channel is a very dangerous yet very good treat.😂❤
We lived in Okinawa for 2 years and loved the very large bath tub.
Wild stuff!
Children drowning in bathtubs accidents also happen here in the US as well. Really sad.
When I was in Japan my host offered the soaking tub. I declined because I am too large and was afraid I would get stuck!
OoF as an American, I couldn't imagine using a gas heater with out some kind of ventilation. it's why chimmy pipes are so prevalent though out a lot of Europe and older Americian housing before electric or central were even a thing
Okay the sausage make me spill my redbull... I never saw such content displayed in such innocent and funny manner 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO I'm dying here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but why not a single shot of Mr. Eats while you described the sausage in his throat?
I found Japanese bathtubs to be tiny!
Yes, they are deep, but really short.
U so funny 😆loves it and love your channel.Thanks for sharing.
I have achalasia, which means my throat muscles don't work properly. I love mochi! But because of my condition (and how the symptoms can only be managed, never cured), I have to be especially careful as well as mindful that there'll be a day where I can no longer have it. I'm only 31, and I'm going to enjoy eating mochi (carefully!) for as long as I can
Your sausage euphemism is ON POINT!
Her smile at 1:34 is so unhinged, I love it lol
Oh Mrs. Eats, you and that sausage humor... Keep that up! XD
When I was a kid to mid-teen, I liked bathtubs (with the same narrow and shallow tub) cause of how comfortable it is especially pouring soap for a bubble bath, but when you grow up. Adjusting your posture in the bathtub can look awkward and uncomfortable. Of course that always depends on the size of the tub. Now that I'm grown, I'm used to like showers with LED lights on.
Drowning-related bathtubs is not what scares me. Electrocution is. I've seen some people who are disorganized slobs put something electronic like a curling iron nearby the bathtub ledge. I was like... oh my god! I quickly removed it and put the curling iron down in the counter sink. That's why I'm paranoid about this. Please everyone, before a bath. Always check anything electronic nearby or in the tub and put it away as far as possible.
Japanse tubs might be relatively deep but they can also be rather small especially if you live in an apartment. I always used to wish the tubs were bigger
I understand half of Japan is wired like the US, and the other half is wired like Europe. Even the low voltage American outlets deliver enough power to make electric heaters extremely dangerous. These things should never be left unattended when running at a high power level.
Mrs Eats is a dream woman. You know it, I know it...we all know it. Wishing good health and fortune to her and her family.
😆🤣🥰 I love your channel Mrs Eats. Thank you for another great video.
Mrs. Eats you're crazy but I still love you. ❤
Loving this hairstyle!
I actually like the squatting toilet concept because squatting is much easier than sitting. I don't have my own home or I would try and get something like that installed in my bathroom.
@MrsEats 😂😂😂I couldn't stop laughing, but I also had to cover my eyes. Oh sooo funny!
3:50 we don’t have that here in the states but we have a bunch of guys who cram down large sausages on the 4th of July as competition 😂
My Korean mom always warned me about eating cooked bony fish, because of the sharp needle bones. I wonder if Japanese have similar problems with cooked bony fish needles.
As for drowning in bathtubs, not many people take baths in the US. Even the "bath people" I've known still hardly take one bath a week. People in the US prefer showers because its quick and doesn't require as much cleaning. With a shower you can just spray some bleach and then take another shower and everything gets washed down the drain.
Hello Mrs Eats. My American history book says that kerosene heaters were often used in wilderness cabins in the 19th century before electrical power plants and central heating was invented.
If food ever gets stuck in my throat, I drink water and do a handstand attempting to cough. I have yet to find something this doesn’t work on.
Squatty caveman crappers, perfect explanation. They are still quite common in many train stations. I wish they gave us a nice grab bar rather than the water pipe. And some free toilet paper would be nice. It is still better than the toilets featured in “Slumdog Millionaire “, a fantastic movie btw!
1:25 WOW! 😂🙈🙉🙊
[Edit at 3:10 ] I heard you can also use plungers, too ☝😉
Here in Germany it would be flat out illegal to use a kerosene heater inside the house. I think.
"Squatty caveman crapper" is a phrase I need to work into my regular conversations somehow.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious. Your throat example (sausage, white sticky stuff, then finger...)
6:11 this is so sad to hear 😢
3:10 - Tampopo? 😂😂
If the mochi get stuck only a koncho can save them.
Spending whole winters on kerosene heating is also so depressing! No wonder the high rate of suicides in Japan. The pulling between the demand to excel and be best at jobs and the depressing use of kerosene causes that.
Does Japan not have gas deposits where they can extract gas and use it to heat water in water tanks at homes for heating? That hot water can go through pipes inside the walls of the house and release the heat through vents. They work with thermostats installed on the wall.
I love how you say Dangerous😂🥹
Mrs Eats and the sausage innuendo! 😏 There are others and you can’t tell me they’re accidental. 👍🏻😁
There was too much funny innuendo with the sausage & mr eats throat during the mochi bit for it to all be coincidence but figured I'd point out a (maybe unintentional) coincidence of innuendo in it :D. The word "Moist" had zero naughtiness associated with it till about 20 years ago when it was used as a running joke in a tv series called dead like me with the setup for it in the first episode or two. Very funny & worth watching if you've not seen it :D
1:31 and 1:44
She knew exactly what she was doing there💀
MrsEats Sama, you are very beautiful and I love your personality and your sense of humor, too funny lol. Very interesting video. The heaters did not surprise me, but I didn’t know that a lot of them use kerosene. Portable heaters are a problem in the US also, mostly from electrical issues and fires esp if they get knocked over or running constantly and being left unattended. That mochi you were holding with the strawberry looked so yummy that I wanted to take a bite of it. The bathtubs made sense to me. I stayed in a hotel in Yokosuka one night and in the room was a small tub about waist high, I was scared to use it. Keep up the outstanding videos.
I just can't with the sausage...! 😂😂😂
I had a claw foot tub back in the early 90s. Nothing but showers since I moved from that apartment
I think Japanese people should buy the heaters we buy in the UK, the plug in ones that don't use too much electric
I love Mochi but I heard this too. The mochi is different because its really chewy. And it gets stuck in peoples throat if they dont chew it enough. And I heard its mainly senior citizens.
Mr. Eats: "Honey, please not the sausage..." 🤣
yoU are so f'ing AMAZING!!! never change.
That sausage thing was just perfect
