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.

I think the issue with Hershe's is exactly what was said at 12:00, "It's comforting". If you have a favorite food as a child, you're going to always have that as one of your favorite and most nostalgic tastes. Hershe's was probably not put on the table because of that giant life/nostalgia-bias. Who hasn't had Hershe's as a child or even as an adult, in america? No one that I can name. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned.

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.

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 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.

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!

"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

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

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 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!!!

9:05 bro fr used the candies from candy crush and thought we wouldn't notice 💀

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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!

i really love how you took over the food theorist your an awesome choice and i love you
