I wonder if he is actually paying someone or some company who set up this garbage AI merch shop for him. The quality seems to be shitty enough to be his own work product, but the dolphin thing is so off brand it makes me wonder.
It may just be leftover warehouse goods. You can buy them in bulk from companies who fail to sell things. A lot of bin places do that.
 
@Religion is Still Dead is right, it's A.I. generated-- the controls look all fucky etc.

jack just asked the ai for "a youtube thumbnail showing peeps on a tray" and used what it gave him. typical lazy shit.

i am not particularly anti-a.i. but the degree to which it's begun cluttering online visual environments is startling. in other threads that are mostly sourced from dumb peoples' facebooks, if you look at most mid-to-low intelligence FB feeds it's like 99% A.I.-generated images (which most of the people don't realize or care are A.I.)
 
Can we rat Jack on that person's channel?
If your retarded, sure. There's no funny DMCA arc lying down that path, just a takedown and no change in behavior. Aside from generally not pozloading my negholep, this particular move wouldn't even do anything.

The funniest part is I can't tell if the logo was made by the AI which wrote it as "Freze-Drying" or if thats just Jack being lazy again. The other dead giveaway is that its actually somewhat visually coherent and appears to have some basic work and effort put into making it appealing, which we know Jack can't manage.
 
It's worse than that, it looks AI generated. The buttons on it are very weirdly disjointed and dont look like the actual buttons, plus the play button is way up top, when it's always in the middle.
Good catch. I agree it's AI generated and to be honest I respect Jack more for doing this than stealing someone elses' thumbnail. At least AI often times gives the user permission to use their works commercially.

Ohhhhh! He must have included the term "YouTube" or "YouTube" thumbnail in the Generative AI "prompt" and the robot was smart enough to render in video "controls" it associated with those terms in its "response" image.

Scoreboard:
Robot 1, Jack 0.
 
I'm sure there's better explorations of this sort of thing if you go looking for it but I do think there's something to be set for getting insight into a culture based on their diet and food preferences. Jack & his family were pretty poor when he was young and the party salad reeks of a broken culture to create it, continue eating it, and then show it to others like it's a thing people should eat.
Ironically molded gelatin salads with savories and vegetables used to be considered a luxury food because it was ridiculously labor-intensive to make gelatin. It wasn't until around World War II that things like Jell-O really exploded (although the Jell-O brand name had been around since near the turn of the century). The Depression also probably helped.

Any way of stretching out rare or rationed meat helped, especially if you were poor, and it was actually seen as patriotic to limit your own meat consumption to make sure the boys overseas got fed. The fact our troops were better fed, often vastly better fed than our enemies' troops were had a lot to do with the sinking morale that helped end the war in Europe, the other that we pressured and bribed their oil suppliers and basically strangled their war machine to death.
The usual intent of freeze-drying Peeps, like freeze-drying other marshmallows, is not preservation but to change the texture. Like freeze-dried Skittles or gummy candies, people sell them at twee consignment stores, craft fairs... and on Etsy. (Note that these costs do not include shipping.)View attachment 5819847
I see these in cutesy gift stores sometimes, and lately, they've even been showing up in convenience stores. The price is pretty inflated for what they are and they're basically a novelty. The Jolly Ranchers ones (whether real or knockoff) are okay, but I'd honestly rather just eat Jolly Ranchers themselves without mutating them.
 
Also what is the point of freeze drying candy?
It's a novelty; it changes the texture. Skittles pop like popcorn and become crunchy:

Gummies, e.g peach rings, poof up like microwaved duros:

Some people sell freeze dried candy, at a gigantic markup, at craft stores and farmers' markets. You'll see them in the wild if you know someone who has both a freeze-dryer and grandchildren.

Freeze dried Skittles are a big thing from what I understand. People love them. And people do sell freeze dried marshmallows and Peeps so there's got to be a market for it.

The difference is Fatty here did four TRAYS of Peeps for nothing. There's literally no point to it. He could have added just plain old marshmallows and it would have accomplished the same thing. But no. It had to be Peeps because... Easter. But not four trays of them.

The Germans were down to drinking acorn coffee and smoking suspect cigarettes by the end of it. When they captured Allied soldiers they would raid their mess kits first to get the coffee and smokes. By the tail end of the war the Germans were starving. Even their bread had sawdust mixed into it to extend it.

They are interesting in that way. Not worth the prices that people are charging but as you say it's a novelty. It's a bit like "Astronaut Ice Cream" which was never something astronauts ate. And I heard it's not even ice cream but who the hell knows?

My grandfather (who was in WW II) told me that American POWs he knew were fed better than the German soldiers who were guarding them, and they were rail-thin and had lost 50+ pounds on getting liberated. German soldiers were indeed literally starving by the end.
 
So what your saying is jack made a great investment in buying a 24 grand freeze dryer, right?
If he bought a commercial freeze dryer to make these little abominations, then he's retarded.

Oh yeah, that's Jack who bought a piece of cheap white labelled Guangzhou meat grinder despite having a KitchenAid mixer with the proper attachment.
 
I think it's been said here before, but Jell-O salads were historically lemon, until they added lime as a flavor. Tastes and budgets were such that people accepted lemon or lime Jell-O salads as a way of using up leftovers and stretching savory ingredients. Then in the 1960s Jell-O sold savory flavors specifically for use in salads/aspics, noting in the marketing that it's more appropriate to use a non-sweet base for a savory salad.

This is a job for a forensic culinary anthropologist, but Aunt Myrna's recipe could have originated as a fully savory one, maybe even from a Jell-O sponsored feature in a ladies' magazine, then been elaborated on and changed as savory Jell-O was discontinued, as other recipes were remembered, as different leftovers were available in the kitchen. Other than chemical considerations like pineapple, the historical draw of a Jell-O salad was that you can put anything in there.
I actually noted that a while ago, the timeframe in which "Aunt Myrna" supposedly came up with it would fall in line with the availability of Jello flavors such as celery (the most apparent choice for something like this since it would be a more subtle flavor while giving it more of a natural spring green and both these being more fitting for the use of cheese and not neon lime coloring full of SHUGAR), with lime either being her choice for a replacement or Jack botching everything to try and make it work for the sake of ad revenue, since we can already easily realize the recipe probably didn't call for both that much cheese or the nonexistant "shredded american cheese".
