Might have gone a bit overboard with that one, really curious what you guys think of the video. Do you care more for stories or for recipes? Or both? Also, what is the best color of froot loops? I think they need to bring back blue

Bon Appétit: implodes and stops Gourmet Makes Andong: hold my cornstarch

This is filling the "Gourmet Makes" shaped hole in my heart since Bon Apetit Magazine is now the Jeffree Starr of the food world.

Andong: "How did cereal turn into this literal wall of sh-" Me: "shame" Andong"-sugar" Me: "oh"

“Every loop tastes the bloody same!” - me, on Fruit Loops, (at 10 years of age)

Well seeing "froot" is not "fruit" I never expected them to actually contain any fruit... but plenty of froot... and tons of loops..

I said to myself that I would skip to the end to see the result, but you got me so interested in the story that I ended up watching the whole video

Sugar is one of the most addictive substances in our world. That's why they sold so well, that's why cereal sales so well now.

Kellogg: "Corn is cheap feed for animals. I know, let's add sugar and feed it to the masses and say its nutritious." The epitome of America.

I really like the idea of showing us the history of foods and how you can make them yourself at home. Respect to all that research and work. Good job Andong.

This guy is the most american german with russian origin I've seen, still guy became probably my favorite youtuber in like a week, he has such a great content

When I was a(dutch) kid I never understood why some people would put Milk in an bowl and then eat it with cereal, I always was wondering why too not just put the Milk and cereal it in a glass and drink it😅😅

"You come for the recipe but stay for the history" Dammnnn that contain 100% truth haha

Impressed that a video about cereal didn’t mention Kellogg until 7 minutes in, actually learned new things! That “Quisp” mention did give me a little PTSD from watching Joshua Weissman videos, though

2:08 "Sex, greed, deception. This one has it all" Me: Pauses video, fills a bowl of cereal, connects to Chromecast, turns off lights. Unpauses video.

Im totally gonna make a presentation about the history of cereal for school. I will tell you how it was in an edit Edit: I did it. My teacher said it was the best one

21:40, my anxiety increasing that he has been letting them soak in milk this whole time without tasting yet X-D

Actually you can also manage the blue coloring with a more simple ingredient: red cabbage. Do not let the name decieve you :) Interestingly it reacts with acids and change color just like your plant!

Theres a comedy about kellogg and his sanitarium called "The Road to Wellville" and i cant recommend it enough

Just discovered this channel while looking for home made cereal. What a very engaging, smart and likeable young man. Good to see quality content like this on KZfaq along with all the mindless dross! Keep up the excellent work Andong, respect from the UK.

Doctor: you can’t hear pictures Me, a german, at 12:44 in the video: *SEITENBACHER BERGSTEIGER MÜSLI, BERGSTEIGER MÜSLI VON SEITENBACHER*

“The commercial one is neon color” My man has never seen American Froot Loops...

Honestly this sounds like a good alternative to commercial cereals if you just cut it up into squares instead of shaping them

Kellogg wouldn't approve the use of flowers from the CLITORIA family to add color to cereal that's for sure LOL

To me, lemon myrtle tastes exactly like what they flavor fruit loops with. Wasn't exposed to the herb till i moved to Australia but the resemblance blew my mind.

As you were making this I thought of the freeze dried and ground strawberries I have. The flash frozen stuff makes an incredible powder thay you could probably put right into your base.

I came for a recipe, I found a guy calling WW2 a "break"

I'm starting my own indie cereal brand and this is a big help, thank you very much ♥️

My son when he was little called them FLOOPS

I studied food science and back in the days we made erdnussflips (peanut butter version of Cheetos(really popular in Germany)) in the university but now i am curious since the same type of machine is used for those and fruit loops, how "fruity" fruit loops would turn out. The machine used is called an extruder, which works with pressure difference, inside the machine you have high pressure and heat (125°C+) and when the food comes out the water inside the food will vaporize, which expanded the mixture and everything becomes puffy. All sorts of puffy cereals, snacks or even bread is made with those type of machines. That said, for most applications the seasoning is after this step, such as Cheetos or Erdnussflips, because the flavor also often vaporize. You will often see those type of foods are quite dull, its more about the texture rather than the actual flavor. So my educated guess would be that "real" fruit loops would be quite blend, and that you won't really feel the fruit taste and at the same time, the cost would be pretty high. Fruits are obviously way more expensive than corn flour. Which is I guess one of the reasons we don't really see such stuff. And out of Marketing perspective you want to have visible whole fruits, rather than fruit puree, when you embrace the healthy aspect. A combination of those aspects will be the reason why we don't see "real" fruit loops. That said I could ask a friend of mine, who might or might not work in a cereal factory, why we don't see fruity fruit loops.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! THIS VIDEO IS GORGEOUS! I loved the colors, the setting, the black recipients, the story, the design of german cereal boxes, EVERYTHING. This is one of my favorite videos, thank you.

I love, that you don't praise everyone of your experiments, but admit that you had higher hopes. Makes your channel very authentic and overall more believable. You're doing a great job!

"water healing" Enemas. That means enemas. Although it could also refer to hydrotherapy. Both were popular treatments in sanitariums of the day.

this was on my recommendation and i kid you not i watched with the intention of watching how homemade fruitloops was made... but i ended up totally immersed with the history explanation.. i forgot why was i here for lol. great video anyway!!

Your presentations are superb. A fine mix of entertainment, humor and erudition. a new go to for me.

The deconstruction is amazing: "Yes you can get fruit loops, but we live in the XXI, so why not just make porridge with fruits in it?" It's more affordable in the long run and if your freeze it, and you actually taste fruit, without the added sugars and citric acid to "mimic".

1:19 Andong: "I managed to come up with these Froot Loops that are indeed almost 50% fruit, and definitely, 100%..." Me: "Loops" Andong: "...natural ingredients"

I forgot that the video was about froot loops. I couldve listened to history of cereal all day

"You come for the recipe but stay for the story" is so fitting, you should add it to your channel description.

Really appreciate the huge amount of work you put into making these man! Honestly they look healthier and better than the synthetic froot loops 👍🏻

4:25 be honest, how many takes did it take to record this without rolling on the floor laughing?

I’m so happy I found this guy because even though I no longer watch ba I can still get my nerdy cooking fix

Just WOW! There has to be so much work outside the video wich went into it! My respect

Me mum bought Honey Pops from the Alnatura store. Darkest day of my childhood. By the way, i think you should really team up with Tasting History some time. I think this could be a fun oportunity for you to taste some ancient recepies and learn more about the history of food and western quisine.

“Interesting name for this flower. What inspired it?” (Leans forward, lowers glasses, wiggles eyebrows)

No friend of cereal here, but I liked your video and kudos for going through the whole shabang of researching the history and every ingredient and actually producing your own fruity fruit loops!!! I really appreciate your scientific approach to your vids! 🙇🏻‍♀️👌🏼👍🏻🥇🏅🏆🤩

Im a marine biologist and i grow chlorella thanks for the shout out

Isn't Spirulina blue as well? Love how we learned about some extremly weird cereal facts 😂.

My viewing history has brought me to this man. I am satisfied with what I've done.

For blue you could also use blue spirulina ;)

"Soak it in milk overnight" You mean to tell me the first breakfast cereal used to hold up in milk all fuckin night and MY shit gotta be dusted in under 2 minutes or it turns to mush? WACK!

Honestly was running out of cooking channels to watch (Which like there's hundreds so the problem is clearly me), but I'm glad I randomly stumbled upon your channel. You clearly put a lot of research and post-production time into your videos and it really shows in the quality visually and informatively. I look forward to watching your back-log of videos!

Thanks for this, very well researched history segment. One addition to the semi-recent marketing: When I was a child the absolute most important thing about a box of cereal was the toy hidden in the box. It seems to have gone away about 20 or so years ago. I'm guessing it was outlawed as a choking hazard.

For bright blue, you can also use blue spirulina powder. Its difficult to find, but it's a natural bacteria powder which is incredibly blue.

I am literally obsessed with cereal (I’ve been keto for three years so I don’t *usually* have it anymore) So I really love this video! Loved leaning the history and seeing how EASY it actually is to make a healthy version.

4:54 This bun is giving me impure thoughts involving runny eggs and most immoderate amounts of cheese.

_Claire (Bon Appétit) wants to know your location_

Omg !!! How come you don't have millions of subscribers!! This is insane you are amazing !!!

This man giving me tips and instruction like Im actually gonna make it

Yes you're right it is unacceptable. This was a plot of selling their malnutrition cereals and fooled people into thinking breakfast was the most important meal and cereals was a must to be had.

Next video, "I mass produce actual froot loops at home"

Andong! I have no idea how I was unsubscribed but I'm re sub'd. love these vids man. Still using the Humus I learned from you a few years ago... Yesss! Thanks man...

Surprisingly, this video helped me with an APUSH project. Thanks lol

Love it when the recepie comes with a mini documentary!

Let's say you did only one flavor, and cut them in a simple shape like squares or triangles, would it be worth it then?

I find your speaking very engaging and the stories interesting. I also care about the recipe as I love trying new things. Keep it up 👍

This channel is amazing, not only is it a cooking show it also gives you the social history /history of the products. I'm in heaven!

I love this channel! So much depth to a simple thing like 'cereal' I love the storytelling. Thank you for enlightenment 😊

The ratio of food that needs to be explored and the available amount of Andong is not nearly adequately. That's a shame. =( But the nice thing is, I think he will never run out of video ideas. =)

The thing with red and blue colour switching is the same with red cabbage. You can make something we in germany call „Blaukraut“, thats juices turn red, if you add acid.

The Less vibrant and more natural colors of the homemade ones look really good.

When I become a dad someday. This is what I would love to do with my kids. Thank you for these type of video

When he was talking about the history I actually forgot I was watching a video about froot loops

I literally forgot this video was about replicating froot loops 😆 really cool video though

How dare you educate us in such an entertaining way :D You, sir, are amazing!

I'm a boomer. Oh yes, I remember all those sugary cereals. At some point, mom put a bit of a kibosh on it and limited our intake to a once in awhile thing. Mostly bought Cheerios, which seem more healthy. I know adults to this day are "addicts" to their sugary cereal. Used to get an ad for "Keto Sugary cereal". No idea what was in it, beans and monkfruit sweeterner maybe? I can't believe you did all that. But reminds me of something that is a kind of on and off thing on America's Test Kitchen (make things like gummy bears)--but even they never tried that one. Subscribe for sure.

I like how he's perfectly honest with his verdict :D

The Quality of the Videos and the work you put in them are Incredible!

Raisin bran has always been my favourite cereal but it's so damn expensive.

finally, a worthy breakfast. I haven't had some good froot loops for a while. I'm hungry

I've had blueberries on their own do the same color change when added to oatmeal. Unfortunately blue food is super-unsettling to eat.

"A long pleasureless life." Who told you about me ?

Amazing video. I love your videos. I love both the stories and recipes. Great history on cereal. You forgot to mention C.W. Post. He worked for the Kellogg brother and stole their idea (calling it Grape Nuts due to its fruity aroma) since John Harvey only wanted his cereal to be used as a health remedy for upset stomachs and not for profit. William wanted to go public but couldn't get his brother's permission so C.W. Post took the idea and founded Postum Cereal Co.

MAKE A COLLAB WITH JOSHUA

When you let them soak for so long I was getting very nervous 😂😂

Being an American and having lived in Germany (including Berlin) for almost 10 years, I find this video fascinating. I really love your style of videography and hope when I eventually move back to Berlin, to be able to meet you and maybe even join you on a food adventure. Keep the videos coming!

If you use spirulina algae it will also be a bright blue color it's truly fascinating how many different edible plants are actually blue!!

I mean technically, corn is a fruit

The lack of neon colors really makes me realize how much chemicals there are in American food

9:00 - I thought you were gonna say that "if you checked out that old cookbook from before, some of the pages will be stuck together." From the sugar. The pages are sticky from sugar.

I think it's only a German who would go so over-the-top just to create a video about Fruit Loops! Thoroughly enjoyed it and subbed!

Normally I’m quite a silent viewer. However, this is sick.

Brudi deine Qualität ist so krass gut und deine Themen so interressant, einfach geil

Machst echt tolle Videos und finde du respektierst deine Zuschauer auch indem du sie hochwertigen und durchdachten Inhalt bietest. Find ich toll und respektiere ich.

You are a genius👍I have never cared for any kinds of breakfast cereals,but I surely would taste something like what you made.

We're loopy for Andong 🤣

I wouldn't expect a cereal with "froot" in the name would have any fruit, just saying. Enjoyed the video!

I listened to the history lesson then thought the video ended and forgot it was about making cereal

Me learning the invention of the cornflakes: yes yes I really need this memory

Don't buy swabian cereals called "Seitenbacher". Their radio commercial makes you to jump out of the window.
