116 Year Old Chocolate | Ashens

[Music] I know what's coming so do you you've read the title but first here is a tin which has chocolate in yes it is the likeness of His Majesty King Edward the seventh he was a king y'know and it's a lovely decorative tin a lovely mottled slightly rusty decorative tin from 1902 which was the Kings coronation year when he was crowned king of all the angles and the first men know however that works also it is Goulston at the balm which is odd gallstone sea is a place local to me at the moment it's near Great Yarmouth on the east coast of England so well that's got to do this but it says it on there so there you go at first I wondered if that was actually a bit of just sort of rust on there it said call Ostin but I checked and there's no such place as colistin anywhere I don't think so then I look closer and it was clearly a G anyway let's stop putting it off so yes indeed this is based I believe on the design of an old heip knee a coin at the time a large coin not large one thick as this obviously it was just based on the design it's not to scale everyone and what do I know about King Edward the seventh well he was a king was neat the Americans yes we still have a royal family and for no reasons the tourists seem to like him and you know keeps things happy abroad they're a bit like a jolly distract you know kind of Muppet Show but far more expensive actually a more precise description would be their kind of a reality show for old people yeah I'm gonna stick with that one I think anyway it was the 7th them they had a bit more power back in those days still mostly a figurehead but you know I think it was kind of alright we've known for being good at diplomacy I believe you have some sort of big constitutional crisis I don't know any of the details of made friends with the French which was good did not make friends with the Germans because he didn't get on with a German leader which is a shame so I believe the Germany it was actually his nephew so that's really showing um the only cheat on his wife repeatedly and had illegitimate children I believe and that is literally all I know other than the fact he had a beard I'm trying to think of some sort of nerdy reference but I can't think of any tell you what he owned a very successful race horse called Minoru and Minoru is the surname of Nico from the runaways comic area so just made a TV series of runaways the way who knew I did until somebody told me doesn't sin be any wait and watch it over here but I am worried about it though for as I do like the runaways and I have a look at the picture of the cast and so really well cast but I think about likes about runaways was it didn't mess around with their parents it was straight into them running away it's about the runaways the clue is in the title these American TV shows that need to have 904 hour-long episodes I think there may stretch it out by sort of showing you all what the parents are up to all the time and we don't care about their anyway that's completely irrelevant and I'm basically complaining about something that might not even be the case so let's get back to the unfortunate horror of chocolate from 1902 what's on the back mazza Watty chocolate now Maserati were not a chocolate company this was em I don't know some sources have been awful just thing they were selling or maybe you got it when you bought their tea for they rate company a massively successful one they were founded in the late 1800s which was just the sort of rise of Britain's weird obsession with teas they made a bloody fortune it didn't last they pretty much wiped out during World War two I think partially through taxes and physically through bombs unfortunately and they kind of limped on into the early 1950s they were bought out and that was the end of maserati tea I looked into that cause and my dad remembered him and what happened to them we'd be though there is a company called Maserati making tea now they seem to resurfaced at some point whereas a reserve to be another company bought the name one tea that happens all the time these days anyway mm-hmm it's time for us to open this up so big thanks to the person who we're gave us to me they were also the person who kindly donated the hundred and eighty year old olives so you know it's gonna be good they bore eBay and they said it was a shame that the seller had opened it in order to show a picture I am don't nobody yet but the tops on fairly loose no I don't have a sealed something wax or something but I'm having this probably relatively dangerous to eat there so depending what it looks like I may bite a little bit I made you lick it or I might not eat it at all and here we go [Laughter] I am sorry that took me by surprise I really should have late to that beforehand oh my god the other day I was asked to go to a radio show and talk about what it's like to produce stuff for YouTube you know younger audience them younger audiences my showing has to be opening old chocolate and shouting about it oh yeah anyway that's not nice is it oh my god yo that ain't got anywhere near my mouth I swear all the sugar and stuff is risen and it all looks like worms worms I tell you obvious rock hard as not only is Oh God was writing underneath it I hope it's a treasure map do not want text you're out of a horror game or something oh yeah chocolate time everyone enjoy your chunk god oh man oh in the middle it's looking like a sort of rancid oreo isn't yeah anyway hmm sold only in sealed packets and tins not surprised oh right yeah if you don't have a tea sorry the woman who buys Mattawa TT has all sufficing something's Sons for doing so what who know she knows she will get exactly the same fragrant blend of tea every time but in point of finest of quality and deliciousness she will get an article that cannot be excelled and that she will get better value for her money than she could obtain by buying any other kind it is the right tea at the right price a tea that is at once the connoisseurs delight and the housewife's joy so don't even steal packets and tins my god that's a very 1902 write-up isn't it a pity it's disintegrate over on the right we think about sons they don't understand that words but yeah hmm this is obviously a promotional item because that's trying very very hard to sell t as nearby basically tell you this is superior all women will be superior for buying this T all other women as dogs to us at Madam President Madison we do while they call again Maserati that's it that would work better vote remember the name anyway they sound rude and old-fashioned I don't like him and this this rust come through so this probably rust in here this is probably massively toxic by now this chocolate if you would like to eat it on camera um send me an email saying where you live and we'll send them in with the white coats and the butterfly nets around because you need some help friendly M yeah that didn't looking good at all is it dear mmm well there we are that's what chocolates from 1902 kept in a rusty tin looks like it's an interesting historical artifact also Bloody Disgusting light [Music]

That reaction when he saw the chocolate caused me to exit into the astral plane through laughter

"rea-
sons"

That's gotta be it. Otherwise this tin has made some bizarre assumptions on the childbearing history of the woman buying it.

[u/RiggzBoson]

Ashens' "FUCK!" might be the best use of the word 'fuck' I've ever heard.

[u/MisterWharf]

Anyone think that Mazawattee sounds like Bigus Dickus trying to say Maserati?

What's so Great about your Yarmouth? I know it's better than my own Yarmouth, but why does it deserve the adjective? :)

[u/shadybrainfarm]

The woman who buys mazawatee tea has sufficient reasons for doing so.

[u/The_Anarcheologist]

Ashens described the first half of the first season of The Runaways pretty much perfectly. It's still really good, though, and I highly recommend it.

I saw a tiki face in the thing that used to be chocolate. This may be a sign of something dire. Send help at your earliest convenience.
