Bossche Bol and Nun's Puffs: Citation Needed 1x05

[filmgekko]

Have you ever noticed how many Citation Needed episodes boil down to devising ways to use food as a weapon? Because its a lot, and its awesome!

In my experience, a foreigner misinterpreting your culture is more funny than offensive as long as they're not making judgements based on those misinterpretations. So basically, keep doing that, it's hilarious for the country involved.

Bit late to the party, but there are actually Bossche Bollen you can fit your head in. They are supposed to feed about 16 people, but you do you of course ;)

"I'll give you a point, it's under Eclair."
Matt: "Eclair."
"Point."

I'm dead.

As a Dutchman, I was under the impression that our space program was developed in secret.

Now we'll have to figure out another foodstuff to use as spacesuit. Maybe a giant bitterbal?

[NathanReiling]

I'm Dutch, and I was litteraly on the ground during the Bossche Bol part. HIlarious, absolutely grand!

Hearing them joke about Bitcoin in the year 2021 feels unbelievably surreal. I forgot entirely about the cronut thing, but Bitcoin? Can't see 10 tweets on Twitter without seeing an ad for an investment app for it

I used to be addicted to punching nuns, but lately I've been trying to kick the habit.

Every so often "SUPER BOSSCHE BALL" just pops in my head and i have to come eatch this episode again.

Tom: "It's about 5 inches, the size of my, uh..."
Gary: Cackles hysterically
Tom: "...button here."

We know what Gary was thinking.

I am an American...and doughnuts for breakfast are actually quite rare for most people. Really you only do that if you need to feed like 200 students for cheap.
Love your channel btw :)

You left out an additional morsel of wiki-based knowledge: the "nun's farts" page emphasizes that they are not to be confused with _another_ nun's-farts-based French pastry: "pets de soeurs" ("[holy] sister's farts").  Those French certainly have a way with names...

[Bp]

Oh Tom, I think you've confused an 'American' breakfast with a hotel breakfast buffet. An American breakfast consists of bacon guns and freedom eggs and you must wear the ceremonial giant foam cowboy hat.

To quote from Wikipedia:
On 30 November 2017, Kellogg's announced they would discontinue Ricicles as part of a drive to reduce sugar in children's cereals.

Believe it or not it's a violation of the Geneva Convention to use pastries in combat… since any soldier using such a thing would technically be _desserting_ :D

[Phryxil]

Binge-watching these, something has come to my attention... These men have a curious fixation with chocolate-based space technology...

[witerabid]

Buying a nun's fart for £5 and selling it for a hundred later that day... I think that's called inflation...

I have no idea why it's taken me seven years to come up with that joke but that's the beauty of rewatching these - you discover things you hadn't before. :P

[feybart]

Impressive. Tom's pronunciation of "Bossche Bol" was pretty much spotless. Matt's impression of a Dutch person was despicable, though. We aren't Germans...

[YingwuUsagiri]

Being Dutch and loving Bossche Bollen I just had to watch this and I'm sure to NOT eat my next Bol as a massive zit.

[willemvandebeek]

Drats, the Brits have figured out our space program; back to the drawing board!
Never heard of Bossche Bollen btw, had to look it up and they look tasty, maybe I should buy some.
