Never ask A man: his salary A woman: her age Japan: why?

I like to imagine that Aki has a random closet full of all the weird items that she’s collected throughout this series

"What was that noise?? Who's there???" *(*spins flashlight menacingly*)*

Imagine your in a horror game and you like "Don't worry guys I found a flashlight" *Aggressive spinning*

Aki, you gotta turn the flashlight off while you spin it or to the battery won't charge :)

"As we all know, life is filled with disappointments and we have to keep going on, like to the next product" These transitions are something else

Aki, noooo! You need to have the power set to "off" while you spin the flashlight so it has time to build up a charge. Then you turn it on. I really was hoping to see if it would work well when used as directed... but this was still entertaining. It's all good. This isn't meant to be a complaint, it's just feedback that nobody asked for lol.

The “hardening powder” is worthless since drinking the broth is superior.

i know similar flashlights like these from germany. but they were with a crank and definitely lasted a little longer!

The flashlight took me out, just imagine you’re in a blackout and be like “I got a light hang on” *wipes out flashlight and starts spinning it*

The noodle guard's true purpose is so that no one cheats off of your answers at lunch period.

For anyone wondering, Aki's shirt says "Hi! I'm an otter, who are you?" in Italian. That is so cute😭

The cup noodle powder is a classic example of solving a problem that doesn't exist. Just drink the broth. If you're worried about salt you shouldn't eat cup noodle.

Aki, you need to spin the flashlight with it off. It will save the power. After a while of spinning, you can turn it in and you can hold it like normal. My family had one of these for emergencies and they can hold power for a long time.

How defuk is a random chemical that comes in an additional plastic bag, more eco friendly than just poring out or even eating the rest of the broth? You could also just do the same thing with regular flour.

Wait, so not everyone drinks the leftover broth?!

I'm amazed there's enough people that don't drink the left over broth from there cup noodle that they made a product just to deal with it

Flashlights like that one were pretty popular in my country, at least as someone who used to go to summer camps. They were more convenient than this one, you only had to spin a little handle to charge them. Edit: and the worked ofc

"A powder that hardens the broth so you can throw it out without spilling..." BRUH! The broth is the most delicious part of the whole cup.

My dad has a similar flashlight, except it uses a crank instead of a spinny thing, it has a switch that lets you turn it off and save the charge, and it actually holds a charge.

It’s been a while since I’ve checked out your channel but *awww, your new intro is adorable!!*

Wait... why not just drink the noodle broth? So confused. Aldo, you gotta spin the flashlight while oof, so it can store some power for using after that. We've had these for quite a while in Europe.

“There’s nothing I could be doing wrong with this” Aki says as she’s been doing something wrong

Okay with the flashlight, when I was a kid here in the USA, it was like a 90's thing but the flashlight was like the same Concept, that it doesn't need batteries, only to power it you would have to shake the hell out of it and it lasted decently long actually. Mine was clear so I got to see the little bits Inside and how it works

I feel that you’re supposed to keep the flashlight off when spinning to charge the dynamo in it and then turn it on to use the stored energy. 🤔

We have a flashlight/radio/charger device that uses that spinning mechanism. I often use it during a blackout. The device should be turned off while spinning so that it can save energy that will later be used to operate the device

I'm just here to say that the t-shirt says "Hello! I'm an otter. Who are you?" My job here is done.

The noodle guard is good if you’re eating and you don’t want ppl to start talking to you like at work. And if anyone thinks you’re being weird it is a legitimate product to use while eating.

*in a horror situation in a dark room wildly swinging my torch around like a flail*

The only reason I'm so early is because I'm sitting in the bathroom, and I needed a video to watch. Aki coming in CLUTCH

I'm just imagining in a blackout you use that flash light. "Don't worry guys! I got this!" *Starts spinning flashlight* "OW!!!!" "Oh sorry i whipped your face"

The flashlight is supposed to be off when you start spinning. Otherwise the battery depletes while spinning.

The hardening powder is probs a super absorbent polymer (like the stuff in baby diapers that makes them absorbent). Edit: Parenthesis

Its hilarious that your Boba Tea episode got demonetized but Trash Taste's Tenga episode didn't. That sucks dude.

I like how the noodle guard is sitting next to her while she's eating the noodles. It's right there next to her.😂😂

"There's nothing I could be doing wrong with this" As she spins it with the light on lol

I was just looking for a vid to help me fall asleep, it's perfect, lenght an everything!

I feel like it's more ecofriendly to just drink the rest of your broth but maybe that's just me haha. :-) These videos are so fun and interesting though, thanks for trying these out for us Aki!

A good use for that phone protector.... It's a good dungeon master screen. Plus it's blank so you can decorate it to your needs . OwO

The broth hardener reminds me of the stuff they would put on puke at school if a kid puked-

The hardening powder is also used in the hospitals whenever we are trying to dispose liquid body fluids 😂

Then I was smaller, I got flashlight that was charged only if I would spin handle. I used it then I got lost in woods. It was the thing, that saved my life

It’s water jell/hydroponic jell. The soup hardener is just water jell. We use it to make solid water so our pet invertebrates (especially our scorpion, Bob the Scorpion) don’t drown in their water dishes, @akidearest

I'm pretty sure that powder hardener is what is used by janitors when cleaning up vomit.

didnt the flashlight said you have to put it back together after spinning? was that why it didnt work?

maybe you need to spin THEN turn it on because you're using the energy up as you spin it if it's on? i had a flashlight with a similar mechanism (with a handle rather than the whole thing spinning) as a kid for camping and from what i remember it worked

I just realized Aki’s intro has her saying “ow” and I love it! It’s so funny!

I actually have some lights that charge when you spin a stick that is attached to them , that actually do work. We bought them a long time ago on Ikea.

that's how gaara eats his ramen sand flavor it's his favorite

9:01 how is buying the sand thing eco-friendly? Wouldn't it be better to drink it or pour the broth down the sink?? Or is pouring it bad to do? Too confused.

Just went back to watching ya... Didn't know you have a little Animated intro now, LOVE IT! LOOKING SMOOTH AKI!

For the hardening powder, in the US we use similar stuff for paint or oil spills in buildings. Some people use saw dust or kitty litter.

Love why Japan, I get a good laugh and see what random products is sold in Japan

AY HOW IS EVERYONE? Everyone must have a lovely amazing day please!

When Aki was describing the hardening powder, I instinctively looked at my cat's litter box.

2:14 it's party time in at the back XD

Err... I've have similar torches, even one that goes on a keychain its so small... BUT... you usually have to turn them off, charge it, THEN turn it on for it to last... Even had a radio that had a handle on the back you turned to make work. its not new tech at all :P

Can't wait to eat some.. **Sand Noodles**

6:10 Joey holding the camera like: "Can I go now?"

Amazing video akidearest and fantastic job on it too.

aki with the "toy" oh god we all know she keeping that

If you come at someone spinning that flash light in the dark, they better run!

I love this series the most

I had to pause the video just to admire your "ciao! Sono una lontra! Chi sei?" T-shirt because I'm Italian and I'm still questioning myself on the circumstances you got that shirt XD

there’s those old shaker flashlights that everyone used to have if you shook it enough it’d stay on but if you kept it on it would die out after a while

Where did you get your inuyasha shirt?? It's absolutely adorable...

I just clicked on new video after really long time and the intro? living for it

Kinetic flashlights are in America also they usually last longer than that one, they also have crank lamps that work off the same principles that the Amish use.

Um aki the flashlight is supposed to be off when you spin it and it's along time. America has something similar (shaking flashlight) it's still worthless I think but hey at least it works

Random but Aki you make me feel so better when I am so down :)

I have a flashlight similar to that one except it has a handle that you spin/wind up and it works great and lasts for a pretty long time time.

Ahhh yay! I’ve missed why Japan!💖💖 I love your videos aki!!

It’s hard to come up with a clever comment when you’re this early

That inuyasha shirt is the best thing ever. Where did you get it? If it's just in Japan imma be sad lmfao

Nice to have you on my recommendations page after so long

i had one of those spinny torches in england, but it had a lever you had to turn so you could turn it and hold it still to keep it on, still hella annoying but did help on some camping trips...hella loud tho

Aki every hour: *W H Y J A P A N!!!*

"Well, when life give lemon you just make lemonade...maybe"

FYI I DIDNT SKIPPED ANY ADS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ATE AKI!

I've used flashlights with a hand crank and they don't need batterys, they are usful and its good for a survival sit

All I could see during the noodle part was the shirt saying "hi, I'm an otter, who are you?"

I feel like the cup noodle thing it looks a lot like instant snow

1:45 This reminds me of the crank flashlights where it had a crank in the back. You would have to crank it constantly to keep the light going. It's ideal for camping.

I can’t watch the WHY JAPAN video right now because I have to go to bed but I just wanted to say I love your vids and hope you keep doing what you do! LOVE YOU AKI!!!!

You need to turn the flasight off when you spin it. Otherwise the energy is immedeatly used and gone 😅

WHY JAPAN (Love it aki)

I think the broth hardener is just a hydrogel. It's a type of hygroscopic polymer that's pretty widely available worldwide (if nothing else, you can cut open a diaper to get some, or you could buy some Orbeez), but I wouldn't be surprised if Japan is the only country where it's marketed to make throwing out used broth easier. There's actually a lot of types of hydrogel, though, and I don't know how many widely-available ones are biodegradable, so if this one is, it might actually be unique, at least in terms of easily-obtained hydrogels.

i used to have a flashlight that was shake, not spin to charge. the way it works is that there's a piece of metal (I think) that moves near coils which basically takes advantage of kinetic energy to converts it to electric energy. i didn't need to shake it while using it when fully charged but it is definitely a workout. i assume it is a similar situation with the spinny flashlight.

That adorable intro though.

Lmao I just a saw a comment with someone saying they imagine Aki having a random closet full of weird items and now I can't stop imagining that too lol 😂

I have an emergency radio that can be charged on a hand crank if necessary but also can have fresh batteries inserted or run off solar. Basically if you get a solid charge on that flashlight it's a good one for emergencies when you can't get batteries.

Best gimmick to get somebody to go on Patreon I have ever seen hands down bar none

Imagine buying this flashlight and needing it to look around your house because there’s an intruder and they’ve turned off the lights through the power box and all they hear is *hzhzzhhzhzhzhzhzhz*

When you're early and you don't know what to say... Hi

the bunbun ecolight reminds me of a flashlight i had as a kid that had a little press thing and basically you squeezed it and it would light up. its for like emergencies only. its just a crank light with a funky gimick

You can get torches with little cranks on the side in many camping shops, easier to use than what the one you got looks like. I think they just work like a dynamo

When you're early and you know what this'll be history: Hi Childeren in 2025 or something, 2021 and 2020 was just Tiktok lol

Yuh

I had a flashlight like that all the time! Super handy for when your going camping and don't have batteries with you (mine worked after spinning for 5 minutes or so xD)

Lmao I loooove the new intro I swear I rewind the video a few times just to watch it 😂
