- (Finebros) Today you're gonna be trying
-
an alternative form of protein.
- Oh god.
-
NO!!! Hell. No!
-
- No.
-
You can just put this away.
I'm not eating a cricket.
-
- IIIIII'm busy this day.
I have to go do a thing.
-
- I don't know how down I am for this.
-
- Bugs is one of the things
that I never do.
-
- All right, I'll try it.
-
Honestly, they're kinda cute.
-
- They're crickets.
-
I get a dozen large every
week for my leopard gecko.
-
- It's a living an--
(crickets chirping)
-
(retches) And it's making noises.
-
- I will--
(cricket chirps)
-
(screams shrilly)
-
They're chirping!
-
- (Finebros) And now you get to taste it.
-
- Wait-wait-wait, they're in the cookies?
-
- They're in cookies?
-
This makes it a little less scary.
-
- I'm-- I'm concerned,
-
'cause it looks like
just cookies and milk,
-
but I know it's not.
-
- Here we go.
-
Mm! There's no cricket in it... I think.
-
- Is there anything currently alive in it?
- (Finebros) No.
-
- Everything is dead.
Okay, that's all I wanted to know.
-
It's a chocolate chip cookie.
-
- Tastes pretty regular.
-
(crunching)
-
- Good.
-
- Okay.
-
(crunches)
-
It's okay. Yeah, it tastes pretty good.
-
- All right, I'ma go for it.
-
(crunching)
-
I taste something weird.
-
- It's really grainy.
It tastes like a granola bar.
-
- Let's just do it.
-
NO! (snickers)
-
Aah! (whimpers)
-
Nothing? This just tastes like a cookie.
-
- It has a weird aftertaste.
-
- I thought you guys were
gonna give me a full-on cricket
-
and be like, "There you go. Have at it."
-
- (Finebros) You just tried
a sweet version of those little guys.
-
- No way. They're in it.
-
- (Finebros) Think you're ready
to take them on face to face?
-
- Guys, I hate bugs.
-
- Right when I thought you guys
were being nice to me.
-
I am not interested.
-
- I'm not doing that! No!
-
No, I will not eat this bug! I refuse!
-
- Aaaagh... aah-HA! I touched it!
-
No, I quit. I can't! I can't do it!
-
Lookit, there's legs on there!
-
- This is for you.
-
Ugh, god.
-
Mm. Mm.
-
Oh! Ooh!
-
- Okay, which one
looks the least disgusting?
-
YOLO.
-
Yeah, it's pretty gross.
-
(crunching)
-
- Guh!
-
- (hacks) Okay, I did it. Take those away.
-
- I don't want to do this!
-
(crunches)
-
Ugh!!
-
- I like, I feel the guts
in my mouth. That's so gross.
-
- I just feel little legs
and wings like, (grumbles)
-
- It was not that bad actually.
-
I'm liking this aftertaste right now.
-
- Definitely better than
I thought it was gonna taste.
-
I'm pretty proud of myself, actually.
-
- (Finebros) Congratulations.
You just ate crickets.
-
- Yes!
-
- Victory! I feel so
accomplished with my life!
-
- (Finebros) Crickets can be eaten whole
-
but also can be grounded into flour
-
and used for a variety
of smoothies, oatmeal,
-
or even baked goods
like the cookies you had.
-
- Okay, so there was
no whole cricket in there.
-
- It's kinda creative,
'cause I couldn't tell.
-
- Cookies? Those are like--
it's like a little safe haven.
-
And when you put
smushed-up crickets in there,
-
that ruins the entire safe little
bubble you had for cookies.
-
And now I can't trust anything.
-
- What's the upside
versus just regular flour?
-
- (Finebros) Some people believe crickets
-
are the future of protein,
-
an eco-friendly alternative
to livestock and a sustainable way
-
to feed the over
7 billion people on Earth.
-
- No! No, no, no, no.
-
- Moving to alternatives that we can farm.
-
So effectively and efficiently,
space-wise, might be a good idea.
-
- People put so many
GMOs and stuff in their body
-
that a cricket's natural,
-
so I'm sure they'll be fine
with eating this as their protein.
-
Just not me.
-
- (Finebros) Lastly, do you
recommend people try crickets?
-
- I do.
-
- I would not.
-
- 0 out of 10 don't recommend.
-
- Please don't.
-
- Try 'em. That aftertaste-- beautiful.
-
- HELL no!
-
- Yes.
-
I did it once, and I can say
that I did it, and I'm happy.
-
- Try it as flour, because
the cookies were just like
-
(kisses) baked goods.
-
All cookies are great.
-
- Thanks for watching the very
first episode of Teens vs. Food
-
on the React channel.
-
- Put your mouths over
the Subscribe button and "cricket."
-
- Bye, guys. Can I get
another one of those cookies?
