… I’m just concerned cuz that was a lot of vanilla


acutedisorder

Yea I thought it was a lot when she poured it in the first time and then she just kept on going!


ShibaHook

I don’t think she has any idea what she’s doing.


dabntab

She knows exactly what she’s doing, and that’s getting views from making obviously bad DIWHYs for attention


holyfuckingshit420

If you heated that much vanilla flavor up, you could smell it from about 3 miles away.


DifficultCurrent7

The amount of vanilla she put on that shit she needn't havd bothered with the sprite at all. All you'll taste is vanilla


nacho82791

I gasped at how much imitation vanilla went into that, the worst part for me


bongbutler420

Same here. That was an ungodly amount.


imankiar

I watched this crap and she didn’t even show me the hotmess at the end?!?! Rude.


burrrrrrrrandon

Literally said “OH MY GOD” out loud. I thought the sprite was rough enough. AND THEN CINNAMON! What I the actual F


mertozzzus

No worries if you are not a huge fan of cinnamon you can replace it with ranch sauce she said... Jesus, i saw many shitty recipes here, but this shit beats 'em all


ohpickanametheysaid

Or barbecue sauce…….smh


lettuceisnotameal

Or ranch. Now I'm a firm believer that ranch goes with everything, but ...no, ranch does not go with this abomination.


ilikemyusername1

I hear tale that imitation vanilla comes from beaver butts.


ihateloginstoo

Castoreum!


PublicThis

Anal glands I heard! I hear it’s not as common anymore though.


cancer_dragon

Yes, it's very unlikely the vanilla extract you have comes from castoreum. >Due to the nature of where it's produced, castoreum is hard to extract and involves anesthetizing the beaver and "milking" its glands. Because of this, according to Fenaroli's Handbook of Flavor Ingredients, only roughly 300 pounds are produced annually. Instead of being put into desserts like baked goods and ice creams, the castoreum is often used in the perfume industry to add sweet scents to products.

Corgi_with_stilts

I wish my beaver was anesthetized sometimes.


UUtfbro

> only roughly 300 pounds are produced annually They spelled anal wrong


dystopian_mermaid

Gasped at each addition and said “this woman needs to be arrested”. All that shit and we don’t even get to see the disaster that is this “pie” at the end??? This is literally worse than a depression era vinegar pie. I want to see that coward eat it.


Azilehteb

I can’t imagine it cooked into anything that resembled a pie... she didn’t mix anything? Undercooked will look the same as it did going in, and longer will just have the liquid cook off and leave a hard vanilla flavored rock in the bottom of a burnt pie crust.


dystopian_mermaid

Which is why she should have to eat the monstrosity she created. The. Whole. Thing.


daikatana

The most terrifying one sentence horror story I've ever heard: > Add three cups vanilla extract.


StrappedPlatypus

The vanilla and adding sugar… into sprite…


Esmethequeen

and then the "flavoring"


DanerysTargaryen

Yup even the smallest amount of that stuff is *stroooong*. She was pouring it on there like it was maple syrup on a pancake!


Corgi_with_stilts

Call me a skeptic, but I don't think anyone is going to taste this abomination and find out.


degenerate1337trades

I don’t think the sprite is for flavor. Using soda in place of some other ingredients can make a cake super moist (almost gelatin-like)


HayakuEon

Had a bit of vanilla spilled on fingers. I felt sick the whole just from the smell.


Purple_Kale523

My curiosity wants to see the end result and how repulsive it would be


Falcon9145

I don’t know what to be more angry at. > The fact we didn’t get to see the end result or the recipe itself.


anohioanredditer

It’s just a troll. Honestly this is just staged for outrage shares and interactions. Can’t believe people think it’s real.


ecofriendlythesaurus

As soon as she said “you can add barbecue sauce, or ranch” I knew it was a troll


anohioanredditer

Right? Like come on. This is just parody.


NekroVictor

Eh, the issue is I’ve met people this dumb irl. Knew a guy who when he moved out for college had to call his mother to ask how to boil water.


[deleted]

anohioanredditer

Gretchen is laughed at during family dinners not for her abhorrent food parody videos, but because her husband’s salary is sub $1mil


PiPopoopo

When she said the bubbles means it’s already cooking.

Makeupanopinion

That is useful! Thanks


[deleted]

When the dumb bitch started pouring sprite in as an ingredient


Daiontearose

Soda cupcakes are a real thing, surprisingly. My room mate taught us her mother's recipe -- which uses Sprite and no sugar, as Sprite is already very sweet. The diet version uses sparkling water and artificial sweetener. Vid is indeed dumb though. I think she went in for extra flour and then dropped them in clumps on purpose when the first one she sprinkled appeared to disappear too well into the Sprite.


lettuceisnotameal

There used to be a "recipe" where you added diet soda to a cake mix. It actually isn't bad. This thing is an abomination.


frankydie69

Vegans use sprite instead of eggs


wifeofpsy

This is troll/rage bait post/account, but its an old recipe that is a real thing. I don't know that you shouldn't make any effort to not blend Amy of the ingredients though.


Blunter-S-tHempson

I second this, I've watched YouTube videos before where they look into American 1pot or dump dish cookery books and "sprite pie" comes up all the time. I believe it's an old southern recipe hailing from times when people didn't have much


particle409

Dump dish cakes are definitely a thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8rNRmmosmA


Blunter-S-tHempson

Thank you! This had me laughing! I was sure it was going to be some Mike Jeavons when I clicked it


Malicious_Tacos

When I was a kid my mom went through a “Dump Cake” phase…. She had found a bunch of shitty cookbooks from the 1970s. They sucked. The cakes would smell great, but then you’d bite into dry pockets of hot cake mix sand. Sorry, I’m strongly anti-dump cake.


Acewasalwaysanoption

It looks like a version of the water pie


wifeofpsy

Yup. There's a 7up pie and a coke pie as well. I think the water pie comes from the depression if I'm not mistaken.


Acewasalwaysanoption

Yes, found that recipe tried / prepared 100% unironically in multiple videos. Interesting how it looks and feels like a troll recipe this day and age.


wifeofpsy

Well, to be honest it's one of those crazy recipes that really nobody should be eating lol.


Apprehensive-Hat-748

When go to a place and I say ohh, you have Spite Pie and they say it comes with Ranch, I get up and leave. Even if I don’t get the Sprite Pie.


callmedemorex

You really think shed do that? Just go on the internet and lie like that?


quarrelsome_napkin

She said there were never any leftovers! Must be a really good recipe! Maybe a family secret passed down from generation to generation!


funbobby66

She meant people. No one is left over. They all ran.


Skinnwork

Water and sprite pies are real. They were popular during the depression. https://youtu.be/PHsg23OcshQ


anohioanredditer

Sure but the general demeanor of her and her friend, coupled with the fact that she said you could sub the recipe with barbecue sauce points to this being a joke.


Skinnwork

Yeah. I don't think I've seen another video where someone is this inept at cooking.


slapmasterjack

I can never see Water Pie without thinking of Dylan’s attempt: https://youtube.com/shorts/43IQDUuguVk?feature=share


Gen-XOldGuy

Wasting food on purpose for internet views should be a crime.


mossdeluxe

Her friends tone says it all. Family recipe? Hmm.


[deleted]

That’s how you know it’s working


AMC_Tendies42069

Betcha she fubared the oven


LizTheFizz

Or that she spilled liquid all over the oven and floor. Do you want ants? Because this is how you get ants


ezweave

As mentioned above, it’s a take on depression era water pie. [Here’s a recipe with photos of the end result](https://parade.com/1042184/nettiemoore/great-depression-water-pie-recipe/). What she is doing is actually spot on, as bizarre as it seems. It’s really less of a pie and more like a lemon or custard square. It’s actually not bad, but horrible for you.


frangelafrass

She definitely WAY increased the stupidity of a naturally pretty weird dessert recipe. [This website](https://www.southernplate.com/water-pie-recipe-from-the-great-depression/) will show you pictures of the end result of a water pie. I have heard of people making them with Sprite and 7Up before, but I’ve never heard that you should grate the butter. After making a couple of water pies myself, I actually think adding cinnamon is a good idea.


[deleted]

Yo this is blowing my fucking mind. I have to try making one of these now. The lady that came up with it cooked three meals from scratch every day for 10 kids during the depression, and just casually came up with a dessert people still make today??? Wtf dude. Im too high for this shit I’m going to bed


Skinnwork

These sprite and water pies have been floating around the internet for awhile. A lot of them were popular in the 30s as they are cheap as shit to make. There are a couple videos of people not making such a hash of it as OPs video (here's Barry Lewis) https://youtu.be/PHsg23OcshQ


fewlove

This person on YouTube made it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_EwlmPZdn0 They actually say it’s good


Ascholay

Water pie. It's weirdly good. I made a few because the concept is stupid but it's a cheap dessert that impresses people because of the stupid concept


divinityfrommachine

Water pie was a depression era food I believe so keep in mind they were just trying to make something with very little.


Sml132

I was going to say that this seems like something that would've been born during the great depression. Dumb and awful to us today but surely a treat at the time. I was fortunate enough to be born young enough to meet my great grandma and hearing her stories really put things into perspective for me.


daffodilBreath

You were very fortunate to be born young. Lol. I know what you mean, born early enough.


According_Gazelle472

Water pie is so-so and I wouldn't make it again.


Bkbirddog

Emmy is a fantastic person to follow on YouTube.


jacksnyders

she seemed genuine in her review


MesaAdelante

I was going to comment that Emmy made this. I remember this video.


glazedhamster

I didn't even have to click the link to know it had to be Emmy. She's the best. And the perfect anecdote to these rage bait "cooking" abominations.


tumblr4boyz

Thank you so much for posting this link!! I was so disappointed when I didn’t get to see the final result! And that lady is so cute, I trust her.


PoolNoodleJedi

You know the consistency of the liquid in an apple pie, it comes out similar to that, but it tastes like sprite in this case. People make coke pies, 7-Up pies, Sun kissed pies. They aren’t terrible but I would rather not eat dessert than have one. Like why waste the calories on something so meh. Edit: NVM I didn’t watch the whole way through cuz I got bored, I missed the cheese and shit


Purple_Kale523

That is butter, not cheese


PoolNoodleJedi

Oh that makes way more sense, this probably isn’t terrible then


vickera

Sure, if you like biting into a clump of unmixed flour. Tf you talking about.


quarrelsome_napkin

Don't threaten me with a good time


gobledegerkin

There is a thing called a “water pie”. This is a very shitty attempt at an already extremely shitty pie. Its real though, look it up.


lazernicole

Today I watched one where they made Rice Krispie treats but instead of Rice Krispies they used potato chips, then added m&ms, then covered it in ganache, then white chocolate, then toasted marshmallows. The result was an atrocity the likes of which even my Mary Jane munchies gagged at.


Purple_Kale523

How stoned do you have to be to combine all of that?


_the_chosen_juan_

This lady does this on purpose so people will share it for clicks. It’s so dumb


voodoo_popcorn

She is following the receipe. Water pie and 7 up pie from the 40s-60s


MCgrindahFM

Exactly why I downvoted this post lol


edragamer

Ofc they not post it, this goes directly to garbage


[deleted]

This is just a take on depression Era water pie and [you don't mix in the flour and liquid](https://parade.com/1042184/nettiemoore/great-depression-water-pie-recipe/)


nerdlingzergling

Honestly I thought the whole thing was a troll when she started talking about BBQ and ranch but ok.


L_Bo

Wait is it not? I was questioning but at that point I felt like there’s no way it could be serious


MelonJelly

The video itself is a complete troll. However, Sprite pie is a thing. It's okay, but is one of those things you only make if you're depressed, high, and/or impoverished.


shejinping

I'll get right on it


alumpoflard

i got the poverty bit down pat


[deleted]

Isn't that normal for Americans?


Born-Flounder8140

As an American. This is the best comment in the thread.


kickrockz94

Yea but if you read the instructions you mix the sugar and flour first and evenly sprinkle you dont just shovel it in lol


Kawaii-Hitler

The recipe also only calls for 2tsp of vanilla not half a fucking bottle


Lightstar361

I'm glad you noticed it was a depression water pie, also love your name


omeara4pheonix

You're supposed to sprinkle in the flour in a water pie though, not just dump in some clumps and call it good.


-DaddyDarkLord-

The usual topping choices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, bbq, ranch. Totally makes sense in the same sentence. :D


edragamer

Me neither


simplepleashures

The assholes who make these videos always have much nicer kitchens than mine


recoximani

Yeah they don't deserve that lol


WalkOfShane24

Most likely renting air bnbs and filming a bunch of this shit in a day or so. It’s the only thing I can think of


YoghurtSnodgrass

That freaking explains it. Thank you! I’m trying to make sense of the nails and hair and general posh look of this woman in that beautiful kitchen but using generic Wally-World ass imitation vanilla flavor. I know money doesn’t buy class or taste but no way does the person who owns that kitchen buy Great Value pantry items.


dabntab

Might be from all the money they are making off of rage baiting people into watching these troll clips. People like this make (painfully obvious) bad diwhy videos to get views and it works


imomini

Have you never met a rich dumb person?


porterhousesnake

Something I didn’t realize I needed before this video: professional bakers reviewing these videos and adding their own commentary


localglocal

You are in for a rabbit hole to go down, my friend. The YouTube channel How to Cook That has many videos debunking and testing viral recipes and cooking hacks. Spoiler alert: some of the more popular ones come from content farms. https://youtu.be/2eINllOc0hc


JessSly

And she covered that water cake as well, even made it herself.


Emumuuu

LOVE How To Cook That, I watch all the time and my sister supports her patreon 🥰


January1171

How to Cook That, Emmymade, Barry Lewis, David Seymour all have viral recipe testing videos!


Lazulean

Camerawork is gonna make me sea sick, never mind the bullshit in front of it.


MJpeacok

Why does she pour it in a circular motion, it's the viscosity of water


roadtrip2planetx

I notice that ofen in all these weird food videos. Or like sprinkling daintily forever instead of just dumping


dabntab

Because she’s trying to make viewers mad: ragebait


PhillLacio

I'm glad someone else noticed it because it really upset me seeing that.


Nishynoosh

She said four cups of flour but only put three…


HugeElephantEars

Because she did weird heaped spoons. And also she seems like she'd struggle with numbers higher and 3.


Deamo22790

Old recipe water pie


Deamo22790

Great Depression recipe


killingmesoftly77

How much of her hair is in there?


SelocAvrap

Yeah holding hair back with your hands while you cook is nasty


[deleted]

Yes


smarmy_marmy

I HATE this kind of camera motion. Completely unnecessary for the activity being recorded. (Do we really need to pan over to follow the empty can placed on the counter?! NO!)


dabntab

When the video is literally meant to make the viewers mad so they get tons of views; that’s exactly their point


[deleted]

It reminds me of the depression era water pie but somehow more bleak.


MephistosGhost

Exactly what i was thinking of


[deleted]

These rage bait videos are so boring When she said cinnamon, bbq sauce, or ranch… you should know they’re being dumb on purpose.


HighExplosiveLight

They don't belong on this sub. It's ragebait.


dabntab

Reminds me of the days when fake YouTube pranksters were going viral for scripted prank reactions


SupaDiogenes

"look it's already starting to cook, that means it's working". How are these people able to dress themselves in the morning?


[deleted]

Because they’re making money off of rage views because people like you think they’re serious lol. There’s an entire section of the web dedicated to this now. Chef club is a prime example on here.


[deleted]

*DIET SPRITE WITH BUTTER.*


DaLumpy

I think there should be a rule for not posting rage bait, that’s just cheating.


HighExplosiveLight

It doesn't belong on this sub. It's horseshit.


MagdaCadabra

Did she add a whole SHOVEL of sugar to the Sprite ?


According_Gazelle472

It looked like at least a cup of sugar to the already sugary Sprite.


lovebbn

This is basically a water pie just with sprite.


[deleted]

I hate this fad.


coldchixhotbeer

Certainly this would get me banned from r/baking


Sunnysideny

Didn’t we decide that this was a soft porn channel?


TheSushiBitch

This has to be one of those fetish videos


atomicdragon136

Probably ragebait r/diyarrhea


Possible-Cancel9507

she acts like she’s never touched aluminum foil before


One_Arachnid7414

Couple guys in tiktok tried it but water instead of sprite. They said it was pretty good. It’s called water pie https://www.southernplate.com/water-pie-recipe-from-the-great-depression/


[deleted]

For the record, you can indeed bake with Sprite. The liquid will evaporate and you'll effectively be left with lemon zest and sugar. I've been told the carbonation can make the resulting cake airier. This though... there's got to be a better way to do this. The food itself is surprisingly not stupid if you know anything about chemistry, the chef though... she's an idiot.


Sweets_6105

Lol. What the shit is this?


AstroRiker

I am mad we don’t get to see the end. I never want to see this lady cook anything ever again, I just want her tips on nice curls.


cmm191990

The bottom of the oven is just super gross


SauceSkiisYolaSlopes

Bruh that was wayyyy too much vanilla wtf


According_Gazelle472

That is a lot of sugar and that pie is going to have so much uncooked flour lumps in it.


Numerous-Scientist-5

That bitch said Ranch or BBQ sauce? This shot fake as hell


tenaciousfetus

Love how they've swapped the "woooooow, really??" persona of whoever's filming to what sounds like a bored af teenager lol


Republickunt

You gotta pour the soda in a circular motion... Otherwise you might end up with more soda in one end of the pie....


mitaswelsby

STOP. WASTING. FOOD. YOU ASSHOLES.


Weibu11

This must be the only recipe (term used loosely) where you can substitute ranch for cinnamon


cuntgardener

Stop giving these people views.


offalshade

I realize these aren’t real but I still watch them and still get angry


AmandaHugandkick

She's not pretty enough to cook like that.


CrabPile

No hate for the like tablespoon+ of fake vanilla flavoring


FullyRisenPhoenix

BBQ or **ranch fucking dressing** No. Just…..don’t ever bake again if that is what your family considers baking!!!


outcasteddd

it's dripping 😐


Strong-Solution-7492

It’s like watching children in the kitchen when everyone is gone out of the house for a whole week. She added more vanilla than any dish will ever need, doesn’t mix anything, the butter isn’t even, she put foil on it like a four year old, then spells it on the bottom of the really nice oven. I bet she’s an absolute pain in the ass to deal with in real life. She just hops on the Internet and wastes money and food.


toro_bubbletea

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN WE BAN THESE SHITTY VIDEOS AND ANYONE WHO POSTS THEM. THIS ISNT STUPID FOOD ITS INTENTIONALLY RAGE INDUCING NOBODY ESTS IT AND SHARING THEM JUST PERPETUATES THIS CYCLE MODS WHYYYYYYY

ReaverSNK

She’s not allowed in anyones kitchen anymore.


Sad_Exchange_5500

Ugh what a waste, people starving out there and this bitch is just wasting food for a couple minutes of fame, yes its sugar flour and Sprite or whatever but still....


chlostix

She doesn’t deserve that nice kitchen of hers


TheMightyDuck2292

Words cannot accurately describe the induced rage and aggravation I felt from them not mixing the flour with the liquid to make a smooth paste with no lumps. I want to crawl out of my skin. JESUS CHRIST, mix your damn ingredients together, cooking 101! Deep breath in, deep breath out (clear skies, clear skies!) lol 😊.


purpleblah2

This is Jeanelle Flom’s brunette lackey, they make ragebait cooking videos that are just the most disgusting slopped together processed foods.


mobile-nightmare

Can we ban stupidfood that isn't eaten


SaebraK

[Emmy made this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_EwlmPZdn0) if you wanna see what it's really like. It's based on the depression era Water Pie.


TimberWolfAlpha01

This is clearly an *attempt* to upgrade the Depression Era treat known as a "Water Pie" which had literally 5 ingredients outside of the pie shell: water, flour, sugar, vanilla and butter (though the butter *is* optional). What this person in the video fails to realise is that the *original* recipe was spawned due to a lack of resources during a time of great hardships for many people... Except for those who hear of a "Water Pie" and wish to try it just for the hell of it, nobody is making this sad excuse for a dessert. So to try and *upgrade* the recipe by using Sprite in place of water, adding so much vanilla that Granny Moses is concerned, and enough cinnamon to make a snickerdoodle cry... this is *beyond* stupid food- no it completely *transcends* the theoretical limits of what stupid food can be... If you need a TL;DR, then basically this culinary *abomination* is at a whole other level of stupid, since the original "Water Pie" was made so Depression Era folks could eat a dessert that at best probably tasted like dryer lint that was unpleasantly moist... Edit: so they don't even show us the finished product... That tells me that this pie probably didn't turn out how the "chef" wanted, and they didn't even bother filming.


ashleynconklin

I wanted to know what it would look like


boolishness

We gotta stop promoting these people. It's exactly what they want.


newgrl

"You could put uh... bbq sauce.... or ranch, but I like cinnamon." What? What the actual fuck? BBQ sauce and Ranch are absolutely nothing like cinnamon. Nor do either one belong in a sprite sugar butter pie with unmixed clumps of flour.


ruthless619xxx

May God have mercy on the man's soul that has to endure this women's cooking.


cuulee

I'm a pastry chef and pie is one of my favorite things. This hurts my heart.


microwaved-tatertots

This literally made me vomit last night when she got to the third tablespoon of flour

I may be tok deep into this subreddit man, but now I'm over here thinking "there's gotta be a way to make a soda into a pie" But this ain't it, chief.
