Are you kidding me right now? It's literally... This is the most disgusting thing
I've ever seen. Oh, this is awful. Oh, this is so bad. It looks like someone carved off,
like, a lobe of someone's brain and then packaged it in a VacuSeal bag. Hello, Internet. Welcome to Style Theory, where today we're
just having a casual chat on the couch. You know, nothing unusual to see here. Just your typical style and fashion
channel here on YouTube. Come into this channel for the edutainment
content that you expect. You know, answering all the questions
that you've ever had on your mind. Like, hey, do horizontal stripes
actually make me look wider? Or what color does best compliment
my face? Or the question
that's been burning in my mind since I was a little kid:
WTF is up with edible underwear? That's right. I have always wondered
about the essence of edible underwear. I've always been curious. Is it more edible? Is it more underwear? Just how functional is this stuff? Also,
how many different varieties are there? Is there a top tier of edible underwear? I am so curious. I've always known that edible underwear
just exists out there in the universe. But I've never actually, like, experienced
it, looked into it at all, done any sort of research about it. It's just always been there
in the corners of my mind. And so today I'm like, wait a minute. I have a channel
that's dedicated to clothing. This has underwear in the name,
so let's just test it out, right? So for the next 48 hours,
I am going to be wearing edible underwear to see how it works. And then we're going to wrap the whole
thing up with a taste test of fresh edible underwear. Because no one wants me to... So, which underwear is going to reign
supreme for us? Is it... Is there a best brand of edible underwear?
I don't even know. Are there
multiple brands of edible underwear? I have so many questions. So I asked Amy, off camera right here,
to start looking into all of this and apparently... You found, how many types
of edible underwear did you find? So there are multiple. Here, she doesn't have a microphone. So I tasked Amy to start
looking into edible underwear. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry. I knew what I was signing up for. It's fine. Are there
different brands of edible underwear? There are different brands and there are
different food types of edible underwear. Today, we'll be testing two of them
because the chocolate one was mainly just a chocolate bar on string
and just did not qualify enough as food. I feel like it qualifies more as food than underwear,
I would say. I've seen some underwear,
they tell me is underwear. I don't know about that. How does this rate on your general
underwear level? What, the chocolate one,
or just this in general? This whole... I want none of this to ever touch me.
That's how I feel. We've been surprised
by Style Theories in the past, though. If this surprises me, it will be that you, you know, that
people don't get infections from this. I don't think sugar is supposed to go
anywhere near... Not those type of infections. No. Get. No. Get your mind out of the gutter. So hit me with my edible underwear. So for the next 48 hours,
we're going to be... For the next 48... Oh my God, are you kidding me? Is this really what it is? Is it just...? (inaudible) Are you kidding me right now? It's literally... This is the most disgusting thing
I've ever seen. Oh, this is awful. Oh, this is so bad. It looks like someone carved off
like a lobe of someone's brain and then packaged it in a VacuSeal bag. It's all greasy in here. Oh, no. I was expecting, like, the little, like,
little candy necklace guys. Do they have those too? Okay. We have those also. Thank you. All right. So for the next
48 hours, I'm going to be subjecting myself to apparently a string made of gummy tape and lackluster
candy necklaces strewn about my body. And we're going to test them out through
a variety of different daily tasks. I'm going to be exercising. I'm going to be taking meetings. I'm
going to be going and getting food. And also I'm going to test them out
for flavor at the end of all of this. And he'll also be wearing this
the entire time so that you can get the full underwear
experience. Congratulations. (Confounded noises) Oh, this whole time I was thinking
I was going to wear them under my clothes. So I'm wearing,
So I'm wearing them on top of the suit? Again, we saw what existed under your clothes. Okay, not now. And while Matt changes into his Grinch
cosplay, I voiceover Amy, will share what I learned
while researching this episode. So let's start
with the most obvious question, where did this strange
meld of food and underwear even start? Edible underwear
popped into the world in 1975 when partners David Sanderson and Lee
Brady had the crazy idea to turn gummies
into something you could actually wear. And the inspiration
actually came from two separate places. First and most believably, drugs. Let's just say the party they were at
had them indulging in some substances that were... "mind opening" to a whole new world
of underwear possibilities. The second inspiration,
the phrase Eat my Shorts. Sanderson
heard his brother say that phrase a lot when they were children,
and eventually that came back around. Was his brother, like, Bart Simpson? I don't know. But they thought,
yeah, let's make shorts that you can eat. Shorts are underwear
in case you didn't realize. It’s very old school or very British
according to our creative director, Tom. Together, the couple created CandyPants,
the world's first 100% edible underwear. And, yeah, that idea hit big. By 1976 only a year later,
they were selling nearly $150,000 worth of candy underwear
a month. That is MrBeast
type success in today's money. And they were doing it
out of their own house. By 1989, they were also in stores. People magazine even went so far
as to call it one of the biggest moments to define pop culture
ever, like ever, ever. But by now, I think you get the idea. People love themselves
some candy underwear. But will I love it? Hi, I’m back, ready to go,
showing off my morph suit and my dad bod. Anyway, my friends,
that's where our tests come in. You see, we've divided our experiment
into three main categories: wearability, durability, and taste. For wearability,
we're going to look to see whether the underwear fits,
if it's comfortable, flattering, and most importantly, is it performing the essential job
of underwear by protecting... You know, the bits. Then we're going to test its durability
to see if it can survive a day as actual underwear. Both over the clothing
as well as underneath. And last but certainly not least, taste. Would anyone in their right
mind ever want to eat this stuff? So with that, it's time to
just rip off the nightmare fuel Band-Aid and dive into day one. I have still not seen this thing unfurled,
so I'm a little bit nervous. Forgive me as I try to figure out
what part of the body this is supposed to attach to. I'm assuming this is the bra. Oh, what have we done? We have strayed so far. We have strayed so far. Oh. Oh. And look, the patches. The patches are a little hearts. Amy, can I ask for your help (inaudible). Thank you so much. It does, yeah,
it is like an aggressive Fruit Roll-Up. I got to be honest, fit is pretty good. Support, not quite there. As far as just general coverage
goes, I'm pretty satisfied with this. You know, I'm leaving
just the right amount to the imagination. The bottoms,
though, were a different story. Oh, nooooo. oh, noooooooo. Let's just say the coverage is not full
for your undercarriage. Trust me, the heart here is either
covering something in the front or something in the back, but it's only covering one of them. And I don't know which one. H... how? How? And not only were they
bewildering, they were also flimsy. Okay, okay. Slowly, slowly. No, that’s (inaudible) Okay. Test number one. Can you put it on? No. Failed. Can we tape it? Excellent. Well, here I am. I'm going to do a runway walk. Stomping the runway. I am literally the Grinch who robbed Adam & Eve’s The Grinch who was too
embarrassed to leave his home Oh, great. Well. My underwear popped off again. Let's go get the mail. Admittedly, there was a backup gummy set, but I was scared off by the lace ties
and the questionable hole in the front. So armed with lots and lots of scotch
tape, it was time for us to begin the day. But you know what's going to look good
no matter what underwear you're wearing? Or not wearing in my case,
since it kept falling off. our brand new line of Theorywear. That’s right, after months of silence,
we are back with not just one but two different collections to help elevate
your wardrobe from flaccid to fabulous. Today on our new revamped website,
you can find our brand new evergreen collection full of all those classic Game Theory
blacks and greens that you know and love. As well as our first ever
capsule collection, Radioactive. Inspired by the look and feel
of Chernobyl, or The Backrooms. You know, all those places that you usually
turn to for your fashion advice. Our radioactive capsule collection
is only available while supplies last, and there are things in here
that you're not going to want to miss. Take a look at this
hazmat suit inspired puffer jacket. Never before has something said biohazard
in such a cozy, snuggly way. It's like you're encased in a puffy cloud,
while in the midst of a nuclear meltdown. Oppenheimer, eat your heart out
because this thing is da bomb. But if you're looking for something
that's a little more understated, then look no further than our heat map designs. Whether you’re looking to keep it casual in this hoodie and matching shorts
or dressing to impress in our work jacket, never before has looking so cool read
so hot on the thermodynamic spectrum. That said, maybe you're looking for some
more classic Game Theory, green and black. Well, we've got plenty there for you, too.
With our short circuit fleece jacket, you have this vibrant green circuit
pattern on the outside, but this soft plushy fleece on the inside. It's like
being wrapped in a fashionable Snuggie. But if you want to go a little bit
more understated with your fit, check out our first ever short circuit
crewneck with a black on black version of that circuit pattern. Listen, at this point, I'm well aware
how much everyone loves wearing black. And so we've listened. In fact,
we also have ourselves the On The Run tee, which is a lightweight, sweat wicking fabric that's perfect
for layering under any of the jackets. And I'm also proud to announce that
for the first time ever, we have leggings. I took the input
from all the female members of team Theorist so these things are high
rise, lightweight leggings with pockets. See? Even me and the team
learned from the episodes that are happening here on Style Theory,
and then those lessons are going directly into the products
that we're making for you. That way you're getting the best,
most optimized clothing available. Speaking of being inspired by our own episodes, we also have a heat
activated T-shirt and mug, for all of us who like to bring
the science to our wardrobe. All of this and more are available
right now on Theorywear.com. We have a link in the top
line of the description and I look forward to seeing your photos
wearing your favorite items. Submit them in,
will make sure that we put them on the website
or feature them in a future episode. But for now, back to my nightmare. The nightmare that was edible underwear. First on my schedule for the day
was our title and thumbnail meeting, so I headed on over to the gamer zone
to check on Josiah and give him my feedback
for the week. How’s the thumbnails looking? They're looking good. Yeah? You're looking pretty good yourself. Has anybody taken a bite yet? Are you volunteering to be the first, Josiah? Do you want me to be? He ‘yes anded’ me out of the room No! Touche, Josiah, you've won the day this time. But I'll be back. Next up, an H.R. meeting. Surprisingly not about my outfit. You might not have noticed this but we're doing a series of shoots
about edible underwear. How's that going? Eh. Yeah? Have you guys started yet? So with my meetings out of the way,
it was time for me to emerge from the safety of the basement
and go do some chores. Look, I match my own trash cans. Let me tell you, a gummy bra on a hot
90 degree summer day, yeah, they're not mixing all that well. Immediately this thing began to melt. It was uncomfortable,
but it was far from the most uncomfortable thing that was going to happen to me
during this experiment. We definitely have construction workers
here today working on our porch. We're giving them the show of their life. After a quick workout. I missed that memo.
Clearly. It was time for our last
stop of the day, trying on this candy under my clothes. And I'm just going to spare you
on this one. There was a lot of candy left in places
where candy should not go. So instead of scarring you for life with any of that footage,
I'm just going to tell you why you should never put sugar anywhere
near your private area. You see, sugar is a food for bacteria,
and studies have shown that getting sugar in private regions
can increase your likelihood of getting infections. Plus, if you hate dealing with sticky hands
after eating something sugary. Then you don't even want to think
about the cleanup process that comes with getting candy
out of... other parts of your body. Needless to say, I was glad for my day
with edible underwear to be done. What got me to this point? Putting myself in a green suit and a
gummy bra in front of millions of people. How do you feel about day 2? (Matpat agony) Oh, yeah. This was a... this was a two day thing. So it's a new day
and a new pair of edible underwear. You'll notice
that I'm in a new morph suit for day two. That’s because by the end of day one,
the green one was sticky beyond repair. So I'm just going to open these up
and see what we're working with. I am so much less weirded out by this because look, it actually looks
and feels like a garment. Like if someone were to walk down
a fashion runway wearing this thing, it would be a little bit weird,
but it wouldn't be that weird. This is actually very pleasant. The smell isn't as disgusting
as the last one. Quality of the garment
feels better. Overall, I don't hate this
immediately like yesterday. My hopes were high. I should have known better. What? What? Someone please, please explain to me where my body parts are supposed to go? I feel like it's not leaving
a whole lot to the imagination. And yet that didn't stop the team
from using their imaginations while looking at this train wreck. Does this remind you
of a stormtrooper face? I think it's safe to say that by the morning of day two,
we had all officially lost our minds. After 3 hours in meetings,
it became crystal clear: hard candy riding up my
butt? not great. This stuff is holding up
significantly better than yesterday. But the hard pebbles in and around my nether region, not great. The rubbing back and forth here,
not solid. Or maybe it is solid.
Maybe it's a bit too solid. I think that's the problem
that I'm feeling in this moment. And just something special
about that bike seat that just make sure that everything
gets wedged right into that special place. And the bottoms just continue
to present issues all throughout
the rest of my afternoon activities. Oh no, I'm losing my pants. Oh, no, my pants. I'm losing them. Maintain, maintain. Oh, and they were providing me
so much coverage too. So after spreading some mulch,
dropping some trough and giving our yard construction workers their second show in just as many days,
it was time for some food. Some lunch?
Going for a ride. Come on, we're going to hit a drive-thu. What’s everyone in the mood for? Yeah? McDonald's? Okay, sure. Fine. It is Grimace’s birthday. I had a Grimace milkshake the other night. It was not good. As that detail shows you,
this one was filmed a couple of weeks ago on Grimace’s actual birthday.
But that pure coincidence would result in a moment
that I would have never predicted. As I paid for our meal,
I noticed something. His shirt matched my shirt. I felt kindred spirits there. Maybe he thought I was dressing
appropriately for Grimace’s birthday because this is the color of Grimace. Sure enough,
I wasn't the only one to notice it. The Grimace Shake? Absolutely. I'm celebrating alongside Grimace. Yeah. Right? I like that our colors
perfectly match, actually. No mention of the candy bra whatsoever. I have to say, going through a public drive-thu
dressed like this, I was terrified. So the fact that Grimace of all things
came to my rescue in this moment. Thank you, Grimace. Thank you. So with a meme-shake
and a fish sandwich at my hands it was time for my obligatory
under the clothes try on. It's already pinching me. It's hard, it's uncomfortable. It looks like I shoved a bunch of corncobs
under my shirt. It wasn't sticky, but it also wasn't good. Which brings us to the final round
of the episode. The taste test. Oh, boy, it all looks so delicious. I can't decide where to start. Gummy? Sketchier gummy? Candy necklace? Friendly reminder, these are fresh. Fresh out of the packaging. Nothing that was on my body. Edible underwear number one, gummy. No, I don't even want to swallow that. No, thanks. Hard pass. It's like if you took saran wrap and you,
like, wrapped it around a strawberry and you left it there
for, like three weeks, and then you took it out and you're like,
hey, eat that saran wrap with the moldy old strawberry attached to it,
but then let's just rub some slime over top of it. Nothing about this is pleasant. I hate this with the passion
of a thousand burning suns. Please. Get, get it out of here. I hate you. I hate you so much. And last but certainly not least,
so this should be like a smarty, right? Like everyone loves Smarties.
Smarties are delicious. This is not quite the same flavor as a candy necklace like you would assume. Right? I see this and I'm like,
Oh, it's going to taste like a candy necklace. Oh, no, friends. Have you ever tried
like chewable Pepto-Bismol? You know, if your stomach is upset
and you get one of those like little chalky tabs and you chew it
and you swallow it and it tastes mostly like weird powdery chalk? That is this. If you want to experience what this is
like, go up and choose some Pepto-Bismol. I am so sad. What is this even for? It's not sexy, it's not edible. It's not functional as underwear. Why? Why do these exist? I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed. I did this for nothing. Why? Please give me an answer. Someone. Myself from the future. Please. I’m so befuddled. Actually,
I have the answers for you this time, Matt You see, back in the seventies,
the creators of CandyPants weren't actually trying
to make something that you could wear. But they also weren't trying to make
something that you could eat either. Yeah, that's right. Edible underwear was never actually meant
to be edible or underwear. And listen,
you don't have to believe me either. You can hear it
straight from the creators themselves. We approach it as conceptual art,
as a sexual parody. It ended up being
just this gargantuan behemoth. It kind of got out of control. That's right, it was a gag. For the lolz, for the memes
that did not exist yet. It was something fun that they could use
to shake up the conservative market that was there at the time. And shake it up they did.
But, and this might shock you even more, it was never meant to be part of your
intimate time in any shape or form. Heck, the original CandyPants was carried
in stores like Bloomingdales, everyday department stores
where edible underwear is sitting right next to your family friendly dining sets
and your fancy perfumes. In fact, they tried so hard to keep it out
of adult stores that they were nearly driven out of business by knock off
competitors that were happy to be there. But this rabbit hole gets
even deeper than that because that candy that you're stuffing in
your face was never actually candy at all. In fact, it more resembled plastic. Sanderson and Brady got the idea from a biodegradable bag
that was used to hold yeast in bakeries. And that bag was, you guessed it, edible. We were experimenting in the spare bedroom
with a potato starch and Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose,
which is an edible plastic. The final recipe also included
an ingredient called mannitol, which, while sweet, is also a diuretic
that helps you expel excess water held in your body. What I'm getting at is that it makes
you need to pee a lot. Like a lot, a lot.
And no shame to anybody, but that's not something
I personally want in my sexy clothing. And while the pairs of edible underwear
that Matt tried in this episode weren't the original CandyPants,
let's just say that the recipe hasn't really improved in the 40+
years since it first was created. Wait, wait, wait, hold on. So this whole time you knew that this entire episode was pointless,
and yet you somehow let me parade around the internet
wearing inedible candy as underwear. Why? Why would you do that? Because sometimes, Matt, sometimes it's just enough
to have some dumb fun in an episode. And wasn't that what CandyPants
was really trying to teach us all along? This is probably my fair comeuppance
for all the shower episodes. Anyway, shockingly we managed
to prove that edible underwear does exactly the job that it was built
to do. Sure, it fails at being edible and it definitely fails at being underwear, but it was never meant to
do either of those things. It was made specifically to make you laugh
at how stupid it all was, which, you know, we ended up doing a lot
throughout the day. I don't know if it was worth a full
two days of filming, a handful of traumatized service workers and countless unflattering
screenshots that will live permanently online
to prove all of that. But hey, it worked. I was curious about edible underwear
and now you don't have to be. So go out, have fun
wearing the clothes that you want to wear. And as always, remember that our brand new Theorywear
is actually available right now. Speaking to clothes that look good, feel good and taste so much better
