I just want to know who in the hell during the 50's was like "honey, could you run to the store and get me some french fried butterflies?"

Imagine being born into this world as a caterpillar just to be covered in chocolate and put into a can lol

Those bugs lived in the 50s😅

hey, those aren't butterflies, those are moths! and those aren't caterpillars, they're pupae! nowadays the FDA would be all over these misleading labels

Back in the time when people were frogs.

“If you look closely you can see some of their eyes.” Me: PUSHES AWAY MID-AFTERNOON SNACK

I don’t know why I expected pretty blue butterflies with fully formed wings from a damn can from the 50’s.

I'm trying to understand the thought process of the person who thought of combining chocolate and caterpillars

Isn't it weird to think that the last thing that these insects looked at was the 1950s

So this is what you got when you asked your parents to buy some Reese’s pieces back in the 50’s? Lol

I like how the butterfly ones are like “French Fried butterfly’s WITH WINGS” Like the wing part makes it any tastier

Those little holes in the chocolate is oxidation. The oxidized “bloom” wouldn’t hurt you. But those caterpillars probably taste rancid lol

"French-fried Butterflies " would be a good band- name.....

They lost their life, only to NOT be eaten, but to ferment in a can for life.

“Smells like fish food”. It literally IS fish food.

I may be a snob, but I like my butterflys without wings.

Just imagine... a butterfly lifespan is about 12 months. Having conserved butterflies from 60-s would amount for about 70 generations of butterflies. Scaling it up for humans, this would be equal for about 50 centuries.

I checked Daimaru on Google, and oddly enough, I found a "Commercial Detentions Report" from 1973 that had confiscated a shipment from Daimaru for maggot infestation, yummy!

This man: *Opens 60+ years old cans* Dem insects: "Who dare wakes me up from my slumber!?"

That price of 53 cents for a small can of food was probably pretty extravagant back then

Timon and Pumba entered the group.

This gives "butterflies in stomach" saying a completely new meaning.

Reese now: Peanut butter in chocolate Resse then: Insects in cans.

Keep them in a sandwich bag for next year's Trick or Treaters lol

It's not letting out air when it hisses, its sucking in air because they are vacuum sealed. Bulged cans that have spoiled will let out gasses that have developed because of decomposition. Love this channel.

Listen closely using earphone in 1:55 They be like: "How should i pronounce it?"Whispered "DAI BOW"Whispered "DAIBOW"

me: can we have McDonald's? mom: *we have food at home*

imagine if one of those bugs just started moving 😳

You should start using latex gloves.

I got to admit brother, you have a very unique genre of video, they're strangely fascinating . Keep up the good work!

Next up: “Hey guys today I’m gonna eat 8 billion year old dinosaurs”

I just don't understand why somebody would want to eat a can full of oil and insects...🤦‍♂️

I'm pretty sure the caterpillars are silkworm pupae

Who tf came up with the idea to fry butterflies?! I just wanna talk.

Regardless of what the WEF says or wants, I will never reduce myself to subsist on bugs.

I've been starving all morning. I'm not now

In the mid sixties I was about 9 or ten, my mom and dad had a blind friend that would spend all of the major holidays at our house. One Thanksgiving he brought a can of fried silk worms. Thanksgiving morning I was so exited to get those worms opened and watch them eaten. “Frank, when are you going to open your worms” I asked over and over while my mom gave me dirty looks signing to me to stop. Well, frank had my mom open them and he relished each one as he commented how good they were. Later I heard about it from my mom, and as the years went by we’d laugh about our worm thanksgiving.

1950 people: bro u want some chocolate? 1950 people Friend: if there ain’t a caterpillar in there I ain’t taking it

Deng bro we should donate to you so you can get a fancy microscope for this stuff it’s really interesting.

Oh mah lawd. Like why would anyone want to eat butterflies lol

I'll go ahead and cancel my breakfast.

It's so funny when you said "yuck" "disgusting" "eeewwhh" and you still playing with it anyway.. And you seems to have fun with it.. XD

Use them as fishing bait. They can still be usefull

The caterpillars looked like they had Easter grass in the container, with the wrapped caterpillars as Easter eggs. I would have cried if that was in my easter basket. 😆

I didn‘t even know that eating insects was a thing back then

"Product of Japan", who would have figured??

once again i've ended up in the strange part of youtube lol

So that's where Schwab got the idea eh...

Eating canned caterpillars. For when you've got that craving so bad that you can't wait for the canned butterflies.

53¢ was quite expensive for a canned good in 1960. That was pretty much $5 and change in today’s value.

I remember once Hot Topic sold freeze-dried crickets with flavor powder. I tried the cheese ones and it tasted like popcorn (without cheese.)

With wings! Damn they were so generous in those days

I have many insects in my house. If your intrested I can put some chocolate syrup and send you that in a plastic seal pack.

He's unwrapping little caterpiller mummies🧐

Where tf does he get all these old cans from

My mom traveled a lot as a kid born in the 50s, and went all over the USA and I remember her telling me about these things and how my grandpa would like to eat the grasshoppers.

The “holes” on the chocolate is called bloom. There are two types, one from fat crystals and the other sugar crystals. Very normal occurrence and doesn’t mean it’s bad (rancid) yet, just chemistry of the ingredients changes as it ages.

Before there were Kinder surprise eggs, there were chocolate-covered caterpillars...

those white stuffs are solidified oil, it usually happens in canned oily foods.

who else heard ‘DIABO’ in whisper 😂😂😂😂

This guy sounds like he could be a voice actor for a typical nerd stereotype.

Seeing the butterflies'/moths' tiny faces and eyes made me feel bad for them. Poor things.

Imagine people opening our canned foods in a hundred years.

French fried butterflies... With wings, oh god xD

I will not eat ze canned bugs from the 50s Klaus Schwab.

Imagine as humans we end up on a KZfaq video being examined. I'm shook these things were alive before me.

LIES! I was promised wings with these butterflies, I demand a refund!

Imagining a full grown butterfly jst fly out after he opens the can 😂😂

The "Caterpillars" look like bot fly larve

Me, in bed, getting ready to sleep... KZfaq.... WATCH THESE CANNED INSECTS COVERED IN GOODNESS ...ugh fiiiiine 🤣👌

Dude...you are just knocking it out of the park with quality vids. Thank you!!!

Unless the can is bulging from pressure from rotten food, the hiss you hear when opening the can is air getting sucked INTO the can. You're breaking the vacuum created by the canning process.

Wow I didn't know they were pushing the "you will eat the bugs" stuff even back then

Klaus Schwab wants to bring these insect "delicacies" back. "You will eat ze bugs and you will be happy".

It's against my atheist religious beliefs to eat bugs.

I was real sad about my trig homework but you uploaded and this is perfect stress relief

"French Fried Butterflies" is a phrase I thought I'd never hear in my entire life.

I'm really interested in knowing what these were used for, what the intended consumers were, and what the reception was here in the U.S. ... they are such exotic ingredients, I'd want to know what recipes/dishes they were used for!

"you will eat ze chocolate covered bugs"

Crunchy treats if you will...

I found your channel a few weeks ago & became such a huge fan. Your videos are so interesting, I never wouldve thought that food this old is still around but it’s really cool, your abandoned building videos are super calming too

grandma really said we need too eat bugs

1960 - “Babe grab us a tin o butterflies on your way home from work will ya? Forgot to get some in when I did the big shop and really need them to go with the tinned caterpillars we are having for tea!” 🤣🤣🤣

The caterpillars were like opening presents from hell lol

Imagine if the bugs started moving

My dad was born in 1937 and he told me all through the 50's it was the popular thing to eat chocolate covered bugs.

When I was a kid we would get my Uncle some fried grasshoppers and chocolate covered bumblebees every year for Christmas. He loved them!

And that third one looks like a portoilet next to a tacobell

1:56 “” *“>DAIBO

Your channel is the best unboxing therapy on KZfaq, I watch this when I want to relax the content is so good.

Tell me why you and my grandma have the SAME can opener 😂

When you realize that those bugs is older than you 😂

Surface bloom in chocolate can happen to even new chocolate bars. Hershey made tropical chocolate bar to try to combat the bloom

French fried butterflies sounds like the perfect snack for the busy serial killer on the go.

Nice and straightforward keep it up... Finally a channel without any bullcrap

*People back those days were descendants of the Frog Prince*

As someone with Reese in their name, the way you keep saying it is killing me inside. Love your videos. Keep it crusty, my man.

I think we all know these were left on the shelf back in the day but anything tastes good when your really hungry. Thanks for posting brother. Stay frosty

I don't want to skip can opening procedures... the sound is so SATISFYING 😆😆😆
