Is 5-Minute Crafts the WORST channel on YouTube?

Some of these hacks are getting kind of dangerous! Like if kids try that it's not gonna be good ☠️ Welcome to How To Cook That I'm Ann Reardon and since I did a video exposing some of So Yummy's fake recipes people have been inundating me with comments and sending me clips from other channels saying you should review this channel and check this one out and I am worried this ughh this stuff! Some of this stuff is outright dangerous it's not just fake and bad it's dangerous for people's health! I think we might have found a channel that's even worse than so yummy so I thought we'd look at some of these clips together that you've asked me to check out. So check out this one we're gonna open up tab number one ... this is how to use a toast as always clips today are gonna be 5-Minute Crafts or 5-minute crafts teens ... she burned her fingers 🤕 I don't know about you but if I put toast in the toaster and it's that high above the toaster ... when I put it down and then it jumps up toasted it isn't suddenly much smaller so that you can't get it out but sometimes you have smaller bread or those little muffins and they are quite low and in that case we use this little nifty thing on the side of the toaster that makes it come high. now tell me is this just Australian toasters are these the only ones in the world that do this or am I missing something here. Some of these hacks are just ridiculous. What?!?! What was the purpose of that it doesn't even say .... nothing happens! How is that a hack?? Is it how to get a day off school with burns to your gums and glue stuck to your teeth. Some of these hacks are getting kind of dangerous like if kids try that it's not going to be good! Five-minute crafts Teens ... here we go pour vodka ... I thought this was for teens 🍺 pipe a heart. What was the vodka for? You can pipe a chocolate heart that looks much nicer just using baking paper. Just pipe it onto baking paper and here's a little tip for those of you watching at home and playing along if you just pipe down a bit from the heart and give it like a stem then when you push it down into the frosting you can still see the whole heart just the stem bit goes in there. I'm again just a bit confused as to what the purpose of the vodka was particularly on five minute craft TEENS! These next ones I believe are all about keeping food fresh for longer... it's a good thing yeah that's off! Okay get some new milk good idea add salt for retaining freshness ... right 🧐 okay get a bunch of bananas ... and wrap plastic wrap around the top and it makes it fresher for longer. Makes the bananas not go off. Good to know. strawberries dip them in vinegar mix with water and they won't go moldy. I'm gonna have to test all three of these, now these are going to take some time I'm gonna have to leave them to sit and see what happens. So let's start with the milk two bottles milk same use-by date on both of them I want them to be identical this is an experiment after all. Add some salt into one of them like the other one as is. One week later both milks are perfectly fine except for the one with salt tastes a little bit salty - as you would imagine. I'm going to leave them for another few weeks or another few days and we'll check on them at the end of the video now bananas we are looking for one exact bunch, I'm gonna split that bunch in two so that we know they're all from the same bunch they're all the exact same ripeness then I'm going to wrap the plastic around the top just like it said and put them in this little crate so that I don't have to touch them or handle them at all and we're going to look at those in a week. One week later and they both look like they are starting to ripen at about the exact same time there doesn't seem any noticeable difference to me ... the wrapped one looks exactly the same as the non wrapped one. I'll update you on the banana and milk at the very end because we've gotta wait another week to do that. now for our strawberries, I'm gonna get the one punnet so I know that there were all picked around the same time and split it into two separate punnets both with an equal number of large and small strawberries in it and then one of them we're gonna leave just as it is and the other one I'm gonna dunk it in a mixture of water and vinegar and then just put them both in the fridge and leave them for a week and see what happens. ⏰ It's been a week and the ones that were dipped in vinegar are starting to look a little bit moldy I can see some mold starting to grow there. The ones that were not dipped in vinegar are actually looking okay ... a way to make them go moldy faster and taste of vinegar! Not ideal. Now we're just miss-educating children and teens ... what is this generation gonna grow up thinking they've got all of this crazy wrong information in their head! Let's have a look at this one so we've got cream, sugar, activated charcoal! Hold it hold it hold it activated charcoal is what you give people if they've swallowed poisons or they've had a drug overdose💀 the reason you give it to them is it absorbs the poison so it stops it being absorbed in to your bloodstream. I remember one time that we were at the hospital and the guy in the cubicle next to us had been given activated charcoal for that reason and he vomited and it was just like squid ink all over the floor this black puddle of vomit it was disgusting but anyway that's one of the side effects of having activated charcoal as it can make you feel nauseated and it can make you vomit but ... let's put it in a recipe I mean if someone's on medication and it absorbs their medication so they can't absorb it into their bloodstream ... no harm in that, surely! not dangerous 😝 So then what they're doing is adding dry ice and then letting it sit and serving it up ... do you really need me to test this one it's gonna be gross? Oh well let's make it anyway. Mine is pale grey, theirs is black but if we look back theirs went from pale grey to black so I assume they added a lot of black food coloring between that frame and that one so let's add some black food coloring into mine. Now I'll crush up some dry ice in a food processor can add some powdered dry ice in and mix that in and let it bubble. Now I've let mine sit and it's not getting any firmer it is still just soft so I'm gonna have to add more dry ice and mix that in. That looks more like it ... now I just have to put it in a cone and get Dave to try it 😇 he's not on any medication so it should be okay. Ugh what is what is it? Activated charcoal ice cream🍦 It's gritty it's like it tastes weird. Blearghhh. And the final step in this recipe that they forgot to tell you was to tip it down the sink. Okay the next one you pour a glass of bleach and add strawberries and then you wait ... what is this⁉️ This is not just this is not hacks to make things look weird ... this is "Crazy Cool Food Hacks You Can Actually Make At Home" ... that's the title of the video! So if some kids actually make this at home and eat these white strawberries that's gonna poison them☠︎ If you want white strawberries they're a separate breed of strawberries ...you get a plant that will give you white strawberries instead of red strawberries a completely different type of strawberry you don't put them in BLEACH! Anyway let's put them in Bleach cos we're testing out these recipes to see what happens when we do. Okay these are going in the bleach bowl and 15 minutes later they are not white they're tan because it's taking a good couple of hours to get enough of the red off the strawberry so that they actually look white. Now I assume that you have to wash these in water ... even after washing them they still feel slimy. Yuck! If I cut it in half that might be the best way to show you what I'm feeling. Look at that the bleach has soaked in that far into the strawberry and it's slimy and disgusting and if you ate that you would get a good amount of bleach into your stomach and you'd been needing to call the poisons information or eat some of that activated charcoal ice cream maybe that's why they're in the one video 😂 If you do see a video like this that you think is dangerous for kids to actually make it home then just click on the dot-dot-dot under the video and hit report and then you can just follow the steps through there and say why you're reporting it. Now YouTube reviews all of those reports so if they think no this is perfectly safe for kids to eat strawberries that have been soaked in Bleach for an hour then they can let that through but if not then they can check it and actually say no this video it's not safe. Just leaving a comment under the video that's not helpful ... if anything leaving a comment under their video tells the algorithm this is a great video I'll show it to more people. We've moved on from just recipes that are fakes and plain don't work to things that are poisonous and dangerous! Let's hope the next one is not so bad okay we've got Coke we're adding milk and now we've got transparent soda. surely nobody sits down thinking this is a good idea I mean who goes and buys coke and adds milk (apart from me obviously) who goes and buys coke and adds milk to it so that then it can swirl around and leave you with transparent coke that looks more like tadpole water scooped from a puddle on the side of the road and then pours it into a glass and makes their poor husband drink it without telling them what it is? What is it? Orangey fizzy something. Would you drink it is it nice? If I was really thirsty. Do you want to know what it is? Yeah. Coke with milk in it. Oh I don't like that idea at all! it's like curdled milk ... but I poured off the curdles so you've got what's left. I don't want it! I guess that's just more money down the sink more ingredients what a waste. next one I'm not even commenting I'm not trying that. Why why is the question and "views" is the answer! You can send me links to recipes or hacks that you want me to test out for you... just email them to the email that is in the description below the video.

It's not a competition, but this shit is way more dangerous to public health than a lunatic conspiracy theorist raving about fluoride making frogs gay. This channel looks like a legitimate attempt to kill or maim children.

[u/jerwithapeter]

Yes. I saw a thumbnail of pouring hot glue on a wound with a check mark instead of putting band-aid (which has an x mark)

[u/StinnerMatjest]

Hmm I don't know about you guys but I think I'm gonna have me some bleachberries and a charcoal-icecone!

Great advice!

[u/something_crass]

Any time I get logged out of youtube, this is the garbage I see. 5-minute crafts, bright side, universe inside you, and clips from Britains Got Talent. Reality TV, conspiracy videos, absolute garbage, all with millions of views.

[u/Ralanost]

Well, that's a dose of insanity right there. How the fuck do channels like that work?!

[u/AyceBrisketGirl]

Yes

The millions of people watching that shitty and obvious click bait is the reason this species is a failure and it makes me angry.
