"What is going on here, none of these seem to have worked!" Ashens says with piles of powder all over his sofa like he's Tony Montana.

I used to buy Japanese versions of this called Popin' Cookin'. I always had to be very careful not to spill any powder to get the optimal results. You'd be surprised how little powder can drastically change the consistency. I doubt PoundLand has the same QA on measurements but I did see quite alot of mess on the sofa xD

That finished product, and also the reveal that the product is out-of-date... peak Ashens.

"I followed the instructions to a T!" meanwhile, a not insignificant amount of powder spilled all over the work surface. These kits are very sensitive to quantities, so if you spill the powder everywhere, there's no chance they come out right.

You were so particular about the quantity of water and not quite particular at all about the waffle powder

my man, there are SO many of these sorts of kits out there. if you're ever lost for content, you could make an entire series out of "weird japanese diy food kits". it's not just candy either, they've got kits to make miniature pizzas and burgers and sushi, all made out of powder and water, that SUPPOSEDLY tastes like the real things (it doesn't, at all). either way would love to see you do more of these monstrosities :)

The pipette was a free gift. Useful for transporting/holding small quantities of liquid. (Yay...!!)

‘What was the pipet for it wasn’t in the instructions’ as a chemist I know this feeling all too well.

Oh I get it. I know why it has wheels. You serve it "a la cart".

This looks like it was actually worth the money tbf. If i was a kid and got given this i think id be all over it

Stuart's been doing this long enough that forgetting things in cabinets could actually be his death.....

He has discovered how to make... purest brown.

Been watching for 8 years now mr ashens love the videos, just lost my father your videos really cheer me up

For some reason I heard "lactative" instead of "laxative" and was confused as to how that can be an acceptable side effect.

because if there's one thing i want more than flavorless chemical rubber, it's flavorless chemical rubber i have to make at home

Makes my week when Ashens uploads because we both miss Pound world

The pipette is for the sushi version; the gloop is sucked up inside and drops are dripped into water, forming little balls of 'caviar'.

Just realised that I'm spending my life watching a 40 year old man make cheap gelatine shapes on his couch.....this is as good as it gets 😂😂😂

these videos always sit at the perfect comfort level, regardless of content i don't know why

Food is always better when left in a drawer for a while 😂

When he said "who am I to disagree" I subconsciously continued "I've travelled the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for that horrible something" An Ashens version of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams (are made of these)" called "Nightmares (are made of tat)"

I've been watching old Ashens Lootcrate unboxing videos and, while this is far from an original comment on an Ashens video, the consistency is comforting.

Last time I was this early, Quincy the Caterpillar Who Sings Obscure Beatles Songs was still alive.

Sachets of Brown, my favorite '90s band

Frostie is Master Shake's cool nephew

What we need is for Barry to make these sweets at the same time, and show of how perfect they are compared to Stuart's creations.

at 0:56 there's a food basket (?) of some kind on the package that says まいう, which is probably a hilarious misspelling of うまい, meaning "delicious" in Japanese.

i wonder if this guy has chronic knee pain from kneeling on the floor so much

That reveal was peak expectation vs reality

It literally looks like you are doing coke off of a Christmas sign lol.

He's gone fucking mad, now he's making his own one dollar/pound products!

I had one of these in date and it did the exact same thing and was fucking vile.

oh dear Stuart... how you make me laff you ole winkle you.

Best ASMR mukbang video I've ever seen thanks Ashens

'wheels on meals' ow Ashens you funny bastard

“And also a shovel so we can dig our own graves later” 😂😂😂

Ah, the French! I only consume my expired candy with a nice glass of Paul Masson.

Dumps half the packet on the table.. "I don't understand.. I did everything right" .. Notices a lot of its still in the pack too... "no.. no.. it's the instructions that are wrong"

In the time it took to make that, I could have eaten a whole bag of gummies, gotten diabetes and taken my first insulin shot.

10:50 "Feel free to abuse me in the comments if I haven't done anything wrong" yes that's how youtube works

Ashens you are a legend!!!! Your content is amazing!!

Same energy from the past 6 years and also same couch XD LOVEYOU ASHENS

The way Ashens says "The texture!" reminds me of that video with the cooked breakfast where he goes "The texture Brenda the texture!" 😛

I pre-ordered the Jetpak game and I do not regret it. The game series has a special place in my heart as I have been playing them since Donkey Kong 64 (and then buying Rare Replay many years later). Definitely worth the $60+. I look forward to playing the physical game when it arrives

Do you think young ashens knew he would one day star in 2 movies and be making candy icecream for a living?

So glad the fake "banana" flavour was coming through from the "pineapple" gummy!

That version of Jetpac is mental. Excellent work.

I appreciate Stu doing the cooking exactly by the book. He knows he can't be lazy. It was a bit of a messy recipe, though, and the treat did end up crazy.

It looks like it's easier to make your own ice cream and then assemble a banana split yourself ffs.

Today I watched an L.A. Beast and an Ashens video back to back. It's like going back 10 years IN a timemachine and I was pleasantly suprised. Both are still amongst the best KZfaqrs in my opinion.

When measuring water, the meniscus is typically concave. Measure the amount by lining up the bottom of the curve with the measuring lines.

I’ve been making gummy sweets since I was a kid. If you take 2 yellow Jelly tots and sandwich a purple one between them then squash them together, you make a little burger. You can add an orange one for cheese, red for tomato and green for lettuce...it was the 80s, we had to make our own entertainment in those days! 🍔

Just here for my weekly chance to abuse Ashens Your videos are hilarious, and I love the style and personality you bring

I get transported back to my preteen years when I watch ur vids

The shovelling of the brown gloop made me laugh far more than it should have 🤣😂

Oh I dig the Telechat reference, bien joué Monsieur Ashens !

Came back after watching you for many many years and you havent changed a bit. Love this. My old account got banned when i was a kid. Been here since the ps3 fake and psp fake. Over 10 years now :D

It's not a great night without watching a fresh Ashens upload at 00:47am

Ashens never forgets about food things he just needs to make sure that the food has passed the expiry/best before date.

Ashens when I watch your vids they make my day get better keep up the good work 👍😁

you've heard of Tiny Whisk, now get ready for Lilliputian Shovel

It's funny how these are made for kids but are super sensative.

The Ashens/RRCherrypie crossover episode we’ve all been waiting for!

"I'm just going to eat it now" Literally cannot stop laughing because it looks like some sort of alien. Presented in a white wrapper.

I was convinced KZfaq was recommending Ashens because I watched him years ago. I saw the thumbnail and into and thought: “wow what a throwback.” But no. This is just consistent context for like, a decade. Same couch, same music, same icon...

when ashens uploads.. you know its a good video

I’m 99.9% sure that sofa has never been sat on once since at least a couple years

Ashens has uploaded twice in the same month. The king has returned!!

5:48 I travel the world and the seven seas, Everybody's looking for something

This is the most British gummy review I've ever seen 🤣 peace from new york usa

Its about time mate NEW ASHENS YES

1:35 Frostie looks like an Aqua Teen hunger Force rejected character, or Master Shakes forgotten brother.

DIY sweets? Too much effort

Is this a new Ashens for 2021? I'm 5 mins in and this is the most patient I've ever seen you when doing a diy project lol

Ohhhh, That game would be sick in my collection!

Hooray! more Ashens!

Never seen dead fish smiling... :D greetings from Poland :)

I bet parents loved this stuff.

The Merry Christmas plate looks tastier than the waffle

For a not insignificant amount of this video it looks like Ashens has been partying pretty hard with these "gummy sweets".

Delicious alginate, my favourite consumable.

These are off-brand poppin cooking. Poppin cooking tastes a bit better I assume. But where I live at least they are kinda pricy for something trivial. Like $6-8. For a tiny gummy snack. No thanks. I tried to make them and they were good. Just, not $6 for a few bits good. Lol.

"A Glop for the Ages" is a great band name

i used to eat those holiday jelly window clings as a child

Reminds me of those Japanese popin' cookin' sets, except done on the cheap.

You had me at 'laxative effect'.

Apparently watching your videos whilst pregnant has caused our newborn son to be fascinated by your videos especially the end credits

this is really cool stuff 😋😋😋

Channelling his inner Ken Korda at the end.

Heck yeah Ashens is back!

Scawberry Stroops is definitely a Star Wars character.

I would love to see you do the poppin cookin ones 😂

I just started the vid, but just seeing this item, I have to say I strongly suspect it is based off a popular Japanese line of products that has the same premise of making your own gummies, and sometimes other miniature (edible) foods, it's by Kracie and called Popin' Cookin'. It's not just the idea that's the same, the packets of powder, molds and mixing spoon are pretty much identical in make too! Edit: after actually seeing the items actually out of the box now, the spoon is much worse quality compared to thr Japanese ones and is like 25% smaller. Also the Kracie kits don't come with plastic toys of creepy ice cream holders with faces on.

Whatever that was, it made for an entertaining video. Nice shovel.

Now I want to see him try some 25 year old Doctor Dreadful stuff.

buys in bulk gives out for holloween lol idea

I've been french fangirling at you mentioning "telechat" (!!!!), fantasizing you having discovered it thanks to "Le joueur du grenier". But how will I ever know for sure?

Enjoyed this, can you do a new making weird food/sweet series

10:17 Yeah, that's one fine-looking barbecue grill. WHY DOESN'T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT? -Homer Simpson, Mom and Pop Art (1999)
