Food Theory: What MrBeast Isn't Telling You About Feastables...

Wow, Santi hasn’t even been hosting for a month and is already going for a MrBeast headshot!

also note that this is specifically on americans, the preferance for chocolate tastes differentiates across cultures. Europeans tend to not like Hershey's chocolate as much as something more familiar like cote d'or in Belgium.

Fun fact: I'm from Germany and before MrBeast launched Featables and talked about being better then Hersheys, I never knew Hersheys existed.

And this is why research is peer-reviewed and not fan-consumed.

Putting the Lindt 75% right after the sweet-as-heck feastsble feels really deliberate. After the sweet first chocolate, all you’ll be able to taste is the bitter.

I thought id hate food theory without mat, but i actually LOVE Santi. Keep up the great work my guy!

When I saw Mr Beast blind test and saw that a dark chocolate was a contestant I said " well, that's just not right". And then I saw that the dark chocolate was second I thought to myself that that was going to ruin the tastebuds of the participants, that bitter taste isn't going away for a long time. Well, it's good to see that team theorist also thought the same and even bought more points to it.

I never watched this channel but I really like the research and format already. Santi is doing an incredible job, maintaining the voice and quality intonation. Perfection.

I was quite skeptical of the "taste test" to begin with. Firstly, the pairing was weird as pointed out in the video, you gotra compare apples to apples, not milk chocolate to dark. Secondly, it was highly suspicious the "testers" kept saying the chocolate was "way better than Hershey's", pretty much the main tagine of feastables and they were supposed to be going in blind, suggesting they knew which one had to win and were just a formality, which was just the cherry on top when it comes to the invalidity of his so called experiment. Another important thing is that, not everyone has the same preference in chocolate. There's a reason Hershey's is popular in America but disgusted in Europe, we are just acclimated to different tastes and have different preferences. European chocolates are rich and dense, and while I've never had Hershey's I've heard they're completely different. There's no point giving an American test group 3 European chocolates and 1 American chocolate, and then acting surprised they prefer the chocolate designed to their own market and expectations of what chocolate is. It is honestly disappointing to see MrBeast make such a wildly incorrect claim, showing that he really is out of his depth and has no idea what he's doing in this regard.

Bro Santi is so good! All the new hosts are amazing and fit perfectly with their respective channels!

this new commentator is really doing well, I honestly thought when Matt Pat retired it would be the end of game theory. But this GUY IS DOING FANTASTIC, keep up the good work Santi!

Santi is the only person that kept his theory channel the same as matpat. Santi is the GOAT

Santi's narration has already improved so much in such a short span of time! He sounds much more settled in and organic and natural while reading. 👏 In other words, he sounds great!

One thing to note, when most of us in the US, think milk chocolate, we think Hersey's. Not only that anyone whose gone camping has used Hersey's to make s'mores. Hersey's Milk Chocolate is our childhood. I think part of the reason why Mr. Beats team removed Hersey's from the taste test is because of the positive childhood memories many associate Hersey's with may overcome any natural taste differences. It would be interesting to see an episode that explores if there is a link between childhood foods and comport foods as adults.

"Mr Beast might have unintentionally set up the test so he'd win" has a big "Dream forgor to remove a cheaty mod for a speedrun" energy

I knew there was something up with the Feastables taste test video, so I'm very happy you addressed it, and bonus for me that you ran a new test!! Love it!!!

There's also a fatal flaw in the taste test - they did it with AMERICAN chocolate. Whilst you might assume all chocolate tastes the same worldwide, there can actually be dramatic differences depending on where the cows came from. My dad used to work for Cadburys. His favourite story to tell was when he went on a business trip and met colleagues from across the world, and they all brought their own Dairy Milk bars to taste test against each other. He said the difference was staggering. For instance, chocolate from Australia took longer to melt in the mouth, because they had to put additional stuff in the chocolate so it wouldn't melt in the heat. He said by far the best Dairy Milk was the Irish; it had a rich creamy texture unlike any of the others (I remember English Dairy Milk came in third - I think the swiss DM beat it). And American Dairy Milk came in dead last, because there are fewer restrictions on the amount of preservatives and, more importantly, a lower level of actual chocolate solids required in a bar in order to still call it chocolate. Yes, this was pre-covid. But I highly doubt much has changed since then. So Mr Beast has literally the rest of the world against him if he wants to really call his chocolate "best made by mankind" :P

11:01 Santi being a mini sadist is so funny to me😭 Definitely my new favorite host

Santi, I knew MatPat knew what he was doing when he picked you to spearhead Food Theory, and you have delivered. You are continuing the format and the entertainment so well that I really don't miss him that much. You also have the personality to make this work. Well done, and keep up the great work!

Pleasantly surprised by your hosting Santi! I expected to not like these channels as much after MatPat left, but you did a great job on this one!
