Steph's reaction was the textbook definition of "I'm not mad... just disappointed", waiting for her to realise literally made me more giddy than waiting for Christmas. Never change, MatPat.
-
The real question is: "How long was MatPat sleeping on the couch after secretly feeding his wife sawdust and recording the whole thing to post to the internet?"
-
Steph's expression is part exasperation, part disgust and part disappointment with just a hint of "I should have known..." I love it
-
Our old trees actually do get eaten! They are collected and brought to the zoos for some animals to munch on - elephants love them for instance! You just need to make sure not to leave any tinsel in the tree.
-
"You can consume it but just don't breathe it in." Well, yeah, that's also how water works.
-
Matpat in the Christmas of 2030: “We are getting Gordon Ramsay to make a 5 course meal out of a Christmas tree.”
-
Fun fact. During the Great Depression, they used saw dust instead of flour. They usually used it for bread
-
"Little does she know she's gonna be munching on a Two by Four" ~Matpat 2021
-
I love how MatPatt keeps saying "'WE' had a crazy idea" like this wasn't just his crazy idea like Bread Gloves.
-
Hey MatPat. Little feedback: So Trees have a lot of non-sawdust things in them, such as pine cones, leaves, and whatever else trees are made of that don't turn to sawdust. For next year, incorporate various other parts of the tree, such as adding the sweet resin to the icing or topping with pine cone seeds.
-
Steph: panicking because she ate sawdust. Mat: literally dying of laughter
-
mildly hysterical chuckling from Steph "Did you bake something?" "I did! I made you some Christmas cookies for-!" chuckling increases "Oh, nooooo..."
-
Steph: "I feel sick!" Mat: "No, no. It's fine. It's edible sawdust. It's non-toxic, totally safe... for wood glue." Hilarious
-
"There's raw egg in here, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to eat it" He says, eating sawdust dough.
-
It's almost Christmas boys! Time for round 3!
-
I love how Steph was so done with MatPat when he announced it was sawdust 🤣
-
It is absolutely COMICAL watching Matt's facial expressions as he's trying cookie #3 and Steph just has no idea what's going on, and then as soon as she turns to look at him, he acts like everything completely normal This was super entertaining to watch 😂
-
There was a mistake in the final calculation. The weight of the tree includes the water in the tree. Evergreens are about 60% water, but sawdust is dried to about 20% water by weight. So you’re looking at about 6000 cookies for a tree.
-
Imagine buying a Christmas tree and two days later you buy another tree and they ask if you have a big house and they just say no we ate the first tree, like- 🤨..
-
I work in a bakery and when Matt was just trying to mix sawdust into straight Pillsbury cookie dough, I was weeping. Edit: Omg. Noooooooo MATT! You sub the flour out by volume not weight! What are you doing?!??! Those aren't gonna be cookies, those'll be flakes. ;__;
