I was expecting Ben to dunk the freeze dried ice cream into that bowl of water. He didn't. What was the bowl of water for 🤣

[roberthodges]

So a fun fact about the astronaut ice cream, it never actually went up into space due to it being so crumbly, all of the little pieces would make an incredible mess and thus it isn't something that Nasa would ever send up into space. The whole idea of it was started as a gimmick and has really gone out of control, claiming to be space food, but none of it really is.

A Barry sized bowl is probably how most people would measure their food.

Suggested portion sizes on packaging are usually there to make it seem like there hardly are any calories / sugars / fats in the food.

Not a complaint exactly, but the reason Jude's icecream seems such a reasonable price for the same size tub as other premium brands is it's more "whipped". 460ml of vanilla Jude's only weighs 275gm, whereas 460ml of vanilla Haagen Dazs is 400gm.

So it's ecofriendly and great if you're on a diet (and yes it tastes good), but remember you are paying for a lot of air.

Really been enjoying these “food trends” series. Especially since, it shows me what new things are going on in the world of food. Keep it up gents!

[darienmann]

the only positive about that cereal is their return policy. 100% money back, I tried it, all of them had an awful aftertaste(stevia...) and it stuck to the teeth in an uncomfortable way leaving a coating in the mouth that wouldnt go away.

That ice cream sandwich was really nostalgic for me. As a kid I was obsessed with "astronaut food", I'd walk out of every sciencey type museum my parents took me to with a block of that stuff.

[CutAndStick]

Honestly, Magic Spoon cereal was too good to be true in my opinion. The texture was wrong and Barry is right it is over sweet. I would avoid it, I got it whilst on Keto cause I just wanted a sweet snack and it sat in my cupboard for a few weeks after my first bowl - couldn't bare throwing it away when I spent nearly a tenner on it!

[NivMrTheFiremind]

What’s really frustrating about the magic spoon cereal is that there are those of us who find stevia disgusting. It doesn’t just taste sweet. It’s… noxious.

[PhoebeGrigor]

“Adult cereal” not once have I thought cereal wasn’t universal - shouldn’t kids also be having healthier, better-for-you cereal? I guess children are perhaps drawn to the classic brands and parents just go with it

[yettipat]

The way Barry opened that box physically hurt me

[JanPospisilArt]

I wouldn't blindly trust claims of being carbon negative. Carbon offset initiatives can very wildly in method and efficiency. And often they end up being outright scams.
The carbon negative label is often like "BIO", or "organic" - basically meaningless marketing speak.

[PulseFire]

Is Astronaut Ice Cream really a food trend? I’ve seen it available in science museums for as long as I can remember.

[MrA]

Would like to point out that freeze drying is actually pulling a vacuum, not putting it under pressure. Reducing the pressure with a vacuum lowers the boiling point of the liquid, which allows the sublimation

[Tabfren]

Barry: "I'm ok with it"
Me: "The hell with that, no way a $10 box of trendy cereal ends up in my shopping cart"

[PokhrajRoy.]

We haven’t seen Mike expressing his love for Peanut Butter in quite some time. I think it was eclipsed by Espresso Martini 😂

[drewmerka]

Barry’s mouth said magic spoon was tasty, but his grimacing face said “everything but tasty”

[kimmychuang]

i would love to see a comparison of the environmental impact of different types of plant-based milks! there's so many out there now (soy, almond, macadamia, pea, oat)

[PeppermintRage]

Would have been interesting to have seen the rest of the magic spoon flavours tried, most of the reviews I've seen that weren't sponsored found Magic Spoon terrible, though usually note that the peanut butter is the best one

[LinSquiggly]

I feel as though the idea of a processing score is a bit reductive, it is true that some processed foods are less good for us and the environment, but conversely, processing food is something that makes many staple foods available and safe to eat, such as milk, grains, meat, stuff like that, processing can be bad but it can also be very good, as it opens up a wider diet in a way that, when done right, is safer than the alternative of consuming an unprocessed alternative, (such as unpasteurized milk, for instance, pasteurization is a mechanical processing of milk to kill pathogens and make it safe to consume)

the ecological impact is much more clear cut, the less food travels to arrive on our table, the better, dunno, just kinda irked by the insinuation in the app that more processing is automatically bad, it's the green to red scale they have i think, it's not a big deal in the grand scheme
