10MPH Extras - Struggle Meals - Episode 03

best extra I've watched tbh

why make milcorno at all just buy grits they taste better and are like 30 cents per metric ton

My dads from Virginia and ate grits and tomato sandwiches and a lot of southern stuff and so I grew up eating and enjoying that stuff so hearing Arin talk about grits makes me happy for some reason?

Protein Georg, that one genius who just REALLY like rotisserie chickens.

Food episodes are so much more satisfying to watch when they aren't eating expired foods, have their supplies, and things are mostly cooked right! Go dee!

"Low cost gruel" was my nickname in high school In WW2, people made mock turkeys (murkeys) for holidays which was basically baked stuffing with bacon strips laid on top and parsnips on the side to resemble turkey legs

Arin's Carl Sagan joke made me die laughing 🤣

One of my teachers used to eat "weenie water soup", which was leftover water from boiling hot dogs and he's dip crackers in it

my comparison to Dan's cottage cheese and m&ms is cottage cheese and potato chips. it was a snack my mom showed me like once when I was a kid and I latched onto it. I still have it sometimes and im almost 21 🙏

My dad eats saltines and milk

Cornle

My real struggle meal was just 2 or 3 scoops of peanut butter per day (spread out between the entire day) as peanut butter helps you feel fuller than you are. Although, the meal I considered a struggle meal in college was the cafeteria stir fry. There was a stir fry station where one of the lunch people would make custom meals for the kids. Usually, it was this full-bodied African woman (who grew up in deep Louisiana, so she had a very interesting accent) who had the soul-food grandma vibes to her, you know, the ones who basically force-feed with that bubbly joy that only grandmothers seem to have because you've never got enough meat on your bones for their liking. At the time, I was watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While making the stir fry, the lunch lady (I think her name was Miss Patrice, though I can't remember fully) would chat with you, and she became super interested in the show as she didn't have a way to watch it. So, any time she was the one making the stir fry, I'd go to her and she'd load my plate up with extra everything as long as I told her all about the previous episode. Then, after going back to my dorm to eat, I'd watch another episode while eating what she made me. So, that particular struggle meal was Stir Fry and Buffy specifically. Now I can't eat any kind of stir fry without watching Buffy.

Mine was some of the classics like cup noodles (specifically the rice one I believe was teriyaki flavored), ramen (which I would occasionally spice up with whatever leftovers I had so a lot of cheese slices and peanut butter added). But my main go to was grilled cheese with whatever deli meat, Lingonberry jelly from ikea, sriracha, and spinach. When really struggling I would just eat spoonfuls of peanut butter 💀

They are obviously too boring, but my struggle meals are spaghetti, PB sandwiches, cup noodles, or rice & veg.

I wonder if arin is still in contact with those roommates or if he ever checks in with them

My husband's family makes the weirdest struggle dessert, a leftover from the great depression, called fake apple pie. Basically it's ritz crackers crushed up and mixed with apple cider vinegar and sugar, baked in a plain pie crust. It's okay.

Its always surprising how excellent Arins impressions are.

There is definitely a performative feedback loop in that room

Idk what it is but Arin and Dan are looking quite handsome in this ep

God, "corn-null" took me out more than I'd like to admit

The cornmeal and milk powder is just polenta.

Arin's Carl Sagan impression caught me off guard. That was surprisingly good

I absolutely loved them trying Dan's concoction!🤣

Dan. You were poor...you were hungry. It's ok you ate half that bug.

Would someone please ask Nate to ask Dan to tell Arin to trim his nose hair? Thank you.

2:14 "that's the sound of your flesh burning in hell."

"It's technically food!"

Wait wait wait. You mean toasty had a dedicated camera for the trash can?!?

Arin, it's time to trim the nose hair again, brother.

does the office have a third party cleaning service???

out of sheer curiosity: WHO CLEANS THE STUDIO? WHO CLEANS THE TABLE? DOES ALL THE THE GARBAGE GET TOSSED???

When i was in college, i ate bread with brown sugar on top, and beef jerky on the side

6:45 lmao! 🤣 “not fat dry milk with a night of my vitamins.”
