Food Theory: I Made The World's LOUDEST Chip!

Special thanks to Cometeer for sponsoring this video!

Have you ever been sitting next to someone eating chips and think, "WOW! That's a loud chip!" Theorists, do I have the episode for you! Today my goal is to make the world's crunchiest and LOUDEST chip! From Lays to Pringles, Kettle Chips to Doritos - I'm going to out crunch them all! Is there a chip you think I missed? Let me know in the comments and maybe I'll do a part two...

Thanks for suggesting this topic Durjoy Das!

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.

Not only will opening the bag of chips wake everyone up at 3AM, but taking the actual bite will be louder than a grenade explosion.

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?

MatPat: "I need water, desperately." Also MatPat: *Instinctively grabs a soda*

[dyscotopia]

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.

It's adorable that matpat has a macaroni art on his fridge that says "Dad" and another one that says "Oliver"

[Karishma_Unspecified]

i just really love how adorable the refrigerator looks - it is very clear that Olly is the head of the house now!

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.

[benjaminholcomb]

Honestly, if Doritos released those chips, but branded them as "ninja chips" they would probably do well.

The ads alone would be glorious .

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!

[HiruzenShireshard]

I feel that chip shape matters too, chips that curl over itself may be louder due to more being crunched and the extra mass to bounce sound waves off of, possibly.

[jadanshaffer]

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.

Day 4:Here’s a question: would gingerbread really make a good life sized house? And if not, what food or combination of foods would make the best house?

MatPat: "This video is with apologies to anyone with misophonia."
Stephanie, who has misophonia: "Haha, I'm in danger"

[umamiiiii]

Suggestion: what about different textures and cuts? I feel like a rippled chip would be much crunchier than a sliced chip because of the thickness and texture

[censheard]

It’s been insane watching matpat grow into the absolute internet ICON he is today. And he deserves every bit of it. Thank you for years of quality content and creativity matpat 🥰

[Hyper_Fixation]

I'm sorry, I'm paying less attention to the chips and more attention to Ollie's noodle art that says "Dad" on the fridge <3 Super cute!

[starblade]

Matpat is basically Belle’s father from Beauty and the Beast. He makes insane, somewhat useful data and surrounds his actual useful info with it

[NicheReyes]

I feel like there's a clear contender missing from this competition: green plantains will make deliciously long crispy crunchy vessels for game-day foods and dips.

this is by far my favorite channel of the four, great job, i really love the videos in which you are in the kitchen actually cooking the food you are talking about, really interesting stuff!
