For Christmas you should do an episode on if Santa could survive all the cookies he would consume.
-
Theory idea: Does warm milk actually help you sleep? If not, what food or foods can help you get sleep at night?
-
Well, I mean there are multiple ways of interpreting "does not melt in your hand" I personally have always assumed it meant that the chocolate doesn't make a mess in my hand. because Hel knows that all other chocolate does.
-
Watching matpats episode is like going to school in chemistry and having fun learning about food😂
-
"They say an m&m shell is just under 1mm thick" "Who's they?" "Dan."
-
I like how Matt's like "the most unforgettable slogan" and then lists an M&M slogan that I've never heard before
-
Me next day at school: Teacher: “Have you done your homework?” Me: “It burnt up in my hands”
-
When I was small and occasionally even now, I find it very satisfying to smush milk chocolate M&M’s between my thumb and index finger before eating them. I deliberately let the chocolate warm up a just a tad bit by say for example, leaving an unopened bag in my pocket for a minute or two… There’s just something about the compression and rupturing of the candy shell that is satisfying in much the same way people find it satisfying to pop bubble wrap…
-
I mean, “It melts in the shell, not on your hand” works by its own context. I dunno why that isn’t used. It’s accurate, descriptive, equally simple.
-
I’d love to see a food theory on why people drink coffee when it upsets our stomachs so much
-
You should see if the chocolate in M&M’s hardens back up. And that might be the point of military shipment. It melts but stays in cased in the sugar shell to later be hardened after shipment. As if nothing happened in the bag, unlike their chocolate bar counterparts.

"I am an equal opportunity childhood ruiner." -Matpat, 2021
-
The chocolate may melt relatively quickly when it’s hot out but at least the candy shell prevents it from getting messy to a degree, which I think is more the point
-
5:15 he just explained how sweaty and gross m&m's really are after being in your hand for too long. That's putting me off m&m's for a while. Advertising healthy eating without meaning to, I love this channel
-
3:54 The text changed from "Not in your hand" to "Not in your hands".
-
Here’s the real slogan: “The milk chocolate doesn’t TYPICALLY melt in your mouth, not in your hand. But if you get Mat to hold it in his hands for 4 minutes or keep M&M’s in your glove compartment, then it will spew everywhere.”
-
The slogan should be "melts in your mouth not ON your hand." So while the physical process of melting happens inside the shell whilst the m&m is IN your hand, the milk chocolate theoretically doesn't make it outside if the shell ON your hand. It's the semantics and prepositionality of it all for me 😂
-
Fun fact, MREs present day still have M&Ms in them that expired in the 40’s 😂

5:57 the bfdi mouth….
