After forgetting that we've done German macs, we try the Prego Makaroni & Keju, Freedom's Choice Macs from the military, and Mac-A-Roni Creamy White Cheddar.

FunTranscript
00:00It's Germany vs. US today on BoxMag!
00:14Now, Frankie, we've got a couple of German Macs here,
00:17and then we've got a couple of Freedom Choice Macs,
00:20which, as we know, come from the military,
00:23was it commissary? You know what it is?
00:25Freedom's Choice.
00:26They are a smidge exclusive,
00:27as they are only available at US military commissaries.
00:31As only 1% of the country serves in our armed forces,
00:34not many folks have access.
00:36Whether good or bad, this is an opportunity to try it
00:38without having to raise your right hand.
00:40I can already predict. These German Macs are weird.
00:42They're going to be odd, dissatisfying,
00:44and the Freedom Macs, because we are American,
00:46they're going to be delicious.
00:48See you next week.
00:49This is not the first time we've had German Macs.
00:51We had a whole episode of German Macs.
00:53I feel like we may have even had this Mac before.
00:55Should I confirm?
00:56We'll try it again. Maybe it's improved or disproved.
00:58We're going to have it either way.
00:59I've already measured the water.
01:00Wait, we've got three Macs from Germany.
01:02Wait, is that it?
01:02It's the exact Mac. That's the one.
01:05Maggie, we have never had a German Mac before.
01:07Never. Not one time.
01:09What did we think of it?
01:10Let me know, and then we'll strong burst of onion.
01:13It's kind of pleasant.
01:14I would eat this, but not as a macaroni and cheese.
01:17And we've never done this Prego Mac.
01:18No.
01:18As far as I know.
01:19Well, no.
01:20I don't think we have.
01:21I don't think so.
01:24I don't think so.
01:25No, we didn't have it.
01:26Okay, I didn't think so.
01:27I feel foolish doing this one.
01:29Why?
01:30We've done it.
01:31Do you want to throw it away right now?
01:33It's the trash.
01:33Is there another Mac from the recent box that we could be doing?
01:36Not really.
01:37No?
01:37Were there even other Macs that we got?
01:40It's just spices.
01:41Remember, EJ wanted the...
01:43Oh, we could do a macaroni?
01:44Yeah.
01:44But didn't we do this already, too?
01:45I don't think we have.
01:48Why didn't we do any research?
01:52We could do one of the Hello Kitty's with the mac and cheese sauce.
01:55Yeah.
01:56So what am I going to do with this package I've already cut open?
01:58Throw it out.
01:59We've done it.
02:00It's over.
02:00Nothing is over!
02:02Now we have to put that in the box.
02:04Hello, Frankie.
02:05We have no concept today on Boxback.
02:07All right.
02:07Now I've got to learn how to make this sauce packet.
02:09This needs 25 minutes?
02:11You can't be cereal.
02:13You've got to be USB.
02:1425 minuten for portionen.
02:16Throw that in the trash.
02:18Macaroni butter.
02:19I don't know what these words are.
02:21I'm supposed to add cheese?
02:23Then what did you give me?
02:25Hello Kitty is just the pasta, right?
02:26Yes.
02:27Do you want to translate this?
02:28We can try to figure it out.
02:29Sure.
02:29This is also German.
02:31Oh, okay, good.
02:32German Mac.
02:32Yay!
02:33Yay!
02:33Organic mix for seasoning macaroni with cheese sauce.
02:36Without added flavor enhancers.
02:38Without added preservatives, as legally required.
02:41Four servings, 25 minutes.
02:42Fresh ingredients.
02:43750 milliliters whole milk.
02:45250 grams of macaroni.
02:47One egg.
02:4860 grams of butter.
02:4915 grams of chai.
02:51150 grams of cheddar in a block.
02:53I don't have block cheddar.
02:54We're not doing any of this.
02:55No, we're not doing that.
02:56Just throw that away too.
02:57Let me get the laptop and see if we've done Mac-a-roni.
03:00This episode is not well organized.
03:03The Freedom Acts are ready to go here.
03:05I'm like on it.
03:06Macs you would never buy is the closest we've done to a Mac-a-roni.
03:09Pasta-roni brand, shells and white cheddar.
03:13This is a different product.
03:14Should we try it?
03:15Yes, let's do one of those.
03:15Mac-a-roni.
03:16Creamy cheddar.
03:17Sure, that sounds great.
03:18Or creamy white cheddar.
03:19Whichever one you'd like.
03:21Creamy cheddar?
03:21No beer roll, suddenly there's no beer roll.
03:23Suddenly there's no beer roll.
03:24Most disrecognized episode of Boxback ever.
03:26Sorry, Hello Kitty.
03:27So we're going to do macaroni creamy cheddar.
03:29Let's see, how do we make this one?
03:31Okay, it's very, very standard.
03:33No German block cheese.
03:34Why would you get that product?
03:35I think it's just seasoning if you make a whole mac and cheese.
03:39It's just spices to go in a macaroni and cheese, I guess.
03:42Frankie, have we talked about a change that has undergone in my household from standard milk to glass jarred milk?
03:49No.
03:49This is Monroe Dairy out of East Providence.
03:52Fresh milk.
03:53I get it delivered every week.
03:54A milkman delivers your milk in the morning?
03:56Yes, once a week.
03:57It is measurably more delicious than milk in plastic containers.
04:01And it's more expensive, but I don't mind.
04:02Freedom's Choice goes in there.
04:04Look at these nice big noodles.
04:05I like these noodles in the Freedom's Choice.
04:07That's a nice elbow.
04:08That's a hearty noodle.
04:09That's a nice chonky elbow right there.
04:10And then our prego, seasoning powder and dry pasta.
04:14The noodles are chonky, but there's a very small portion.
04:16But anyway, I love this milk.
04:17Of course, it's whole because the whole milk stays.
04:19Maybe the whole milk needs to go.
04:20Nope, the whole milk stays.
04:22This stays fresher longer.
04:23It tastes better when you get it.
04:24It's just so good.
04:25Time for lean.
04:27Oh my God, it doesn't smell good.
04:29Which one was that, the prego?
04:30Prego.
04:31Oh, that's a smell.
04:32What are we getting over here?
04:34There's something wrong.
04:36I've been down this path before.
04:38Yes.
04:38Whatever that is, that herby metal smell.
04:42Have you seen this pot?
04:43It's been like this for so many minutes.
04:48This hopeless, milky crab shoot.
04:53Maybe it'll be one of those disgusting shows where we're vomiting and throwing it out the window.
04:58What's that vomit taste?
04:59Oh, now that you brought it up, I can totally taste it.
05:03Look what you're doing to the poor Nina.
05:06So we have three good Macs here.
05:08I mean, they're good, solid American Macs.
05:10There's not going to be any trouble with those.
05:11There's not going to be any trouble?
05:13They'll be, you know, oh, it's a little artificial.
05:15Yeah, it's a little, like the pasta could be a little better.
05:18It won't be like, ah, I am ruined.
05:21With Gloria's interest in mac and cheese, we've been a little up and down.
05:24Yeah.
05:25She likes mac and cheese in theory, but it seems like her gold standard for Mac
05:28is just good old Kraft blue box.
05:30Sure.
05:31As soon as there's any kind of drippy, sticky cheese, any kind of runny cheese.
05:36Like real cheese?
05:36Yeah.
05:37Yeah.
05:37She starts to get grossed out.
05:38But there was a little while there where she was like, I want dad's mac and cheese.
05:41And by that she meant the deluxes and she was liking those.
05:44And then she kind of like fell out with them.
05:45Gloria, where are you?
05:46I have heard that the smell is what you taste.
05:49I honestly think it kind of doesn't want to be like that, in my opinion.
05:55I don't like it when I see little flakes on the mac and cheese and then I taste it.
05:59And then those little flakes, they're too hot for my mouth.
06:03And that's what I don't like about them.
06:05I don't know what she's talking about.
06:06There's no flakes on macaroni and cheese.
06:08Read us a little story on the boxes.
06:09Any box story?
06:10Made with real cheese.
06:11This one's made with real cheese.
06:12You know, the Freedom ones are made with real cheese.
06:14Yeah, sure.
06:14No synthetic colors.
06:15No artificial flavors.
06:17Okay, cool.
06:18No red meat.
06:19No refined sugar.
06:20And number three, this one is going to drive you crazy.
06:24It's been easy so far.
06:25If you can give this up for 30 days, it will.
06:27I guarantee you, change your life.
06:29What?
06:30No orgasm.
06:32No orgasm!
06:34Ew.
06:35Somebody's idea of cheese.
06:37Isn't that like Malaysia?
06:39No, these are all German and English.
06:40Well, the Priggo might be Malaysian.
06:43This might be Malaysian.
06:44Singapore?
06:46Yeah.
06:47So this might be a Malaysian Mac.
06:50Oh, we need to get her on the internet.
06:52He has like a mansion in Minecraft.
06:53I saw it.
06:54I mean, today, but like a few minutes ago, he has this whole mansion.
06:59And it's way bigger than mine.
07:01And I even have a battlefield.
07:03I've been playing Minecraft for a long time.
07:04Hello, Gloria.
07:05Here is a tour of my base in Minecraft.
07:09Over here, we have the Bamboo Farm.
07:12This is where bamboo is processed.
07:14This is another machine that converts prismarine into blocks.
07:20This is my wheat farm, where these villagers work to harvest wheat.
07:25Here's my bone meal farm.
07:27This makes bone meal that I can use to power my other farms, like the tree farms.
07:32You chop the trays to get the wood to build the forest.
07:36You're thinking like a dad.
07:38You punch the trays to get the wood.
07:39You get the wood to build the cabin.
07:41Oh, I see.
07:43So when does the game start?
07:44The language on the package is Malay.
07:46Bahasa, Malaysia.
07:47Sending you some Macs I picked up in Germany and Malaysia, where my relatives are.
07:51A prego mac and cheese.
07:53Macaroni and keju.
07:55Macaroni means macaroni and keju means cheese in Malay.
07:58The package contains a halal certification symbol, meaning it is permissible for consumption
08:01under Islamic dietary laws.
08:03Okay.
08:03It's Malaysian.
08:04Good to know.
08:05So it's America versus Malaysia.
08:08Our intro is wrong.
08:09Let's not do it again.
08:11Just say Malaysia.
08:13Malaysia.
08:14Malaysia.
08:15Malaysia.
08:16I'll give you some options.
08:16Malaysia?
08:17Malaysia.
08:19Unbox Malaysia.
08:20And then you can say, Frankie, Malaysia?
08:23Frankie, Malaysia?
08:24Good.
08:25We have it.
08:26It's Malaysia versus US today on BoxMac.
08:29Do your nephews and nieces have, do they like mac and cheese?
08:32No.
08:33None of them do.
08:34Are they aware of your show?
08:35No.
08:36I think I put it up for them one time and they didn't.
08:38They just said, oh, it's Uncle Jay.
08:39You know, they didn't really get what it was.
08:41They get to see me and I'm way more, I'm better in person than I am on TV with them.
08:45But come on, show them the part where you dressed up like Santa Claus and smashed a gingerbread house.
08:48I bet they would love it.
08:49My nephew would love that.
08:50I have three nephews and I showed them that and that was a crowd pleaser.
08:53My sister was a little put off by her.
08:54She's like, all right.
08:57What?
08:58We've been watching Hilary Duff in A Cinderella Story.
09:01Because it was on the Roku channel and it grabbed Gloria's attention.
09:04This is some movie from the 2000s.
09:06And, man, movies that were shot on film in the 2000s look like real movies.
09:10The kind that you would go to a theater and watch.
09:12Yeah.
09:12Even a dumpy teen movie.
09:14Oh, yeah.
09:14They all had like, there was only one process for making a movie and it was to make a movie.
09:18I'm watching it and I'm going like, this movie would never go into a theater.
09:22Never.
09:23And thusly, the streaming version of it would be a much less quality product.
09:26Of course.
09:27And thus, you'll never get that again.
09:29It was a moment in time.
09:30You can see this in film history over and over again.
09:33When tentpoles start to fail, when big budget blockbusters aren't doing business,
09:38it's an opportunity for small, low-cost movies to try.
09:41Yes.
09:41So, you can start experimenting with what would people watch.
09:45But you don't want to experiment too much.
09:46No.
09:46Because you're still spending money.
09:47And horror is just one of those genres.
09:49People will go out and see, still.
09:50Or at least like, enough that they can make $5 million to $10 million.
09:54Yeah, and that's enough if you spend $3 million to $4 million on a movie.
09:57Because what's interesting about the film industry is they don't charge different ticket prices for different movies.
10:02Different movies, yeah.
10:03It's fixed.
10:04$16.50 now for most movies.
10:05It's ridiculous.
10:06Dang.
10:07It better be a sloppy Marvel film then.
10:09Yeah.
10:10I hope they shot it three times and they edited it to something that is barely tolerable.
10:15You're so much better off just making $10 million movies, try to push some new stars.
10:19Yeah.
10:20And make your money at the concession.
10:21And just bring people in.
10:23Remember movies didn't used to make that much money.
10:25Well, because they have the second market too.
10:26That DVD sale or VHS sale bump, which could save a movie that otherwise did bad in theaters.
10:32The DVD was a huge part of our business, of our revenue stream.
10:36And technology has just made that obsolete.
10:41And so the movies that we used to make, you could afford to not make all of your money when
10:47it played in the theater because you knew you had the DVD coming behind the release.
10:51And six months later, you'd get all, you know, a whole nother chunk.
10:55It would be like reopening the movie almost.
10:57Did you ever go to like second run or third run?
10:59Oh yeah.
11:00In East Providence, there was this one that I went to tons of times.
11:03It was $2 a ticket.
11:04And the prints were scratched and old and the theater was dingy.
11:08It's not there anymore.
11:09It's long since been torn down.
11:10I remember I saw Two Towers at that very one.
11:13And it was $2 and it was seven months after the movie came out.
11:15It was great.
11:16I got to go see a big blockbuster movie on film for $2.
11:19Yeah.
11:20That's the Freedom's Trace non-deluxe.
11:21One of these Macs is not like the others.
11:25I'm just going to put a little.
11:27Yuck.
11:28Spoon for me.
11:29And a fork for Frankie.
11:30Spoon for me.
11:32And a fork for me.
11:36So let's try the good Macs first.
11:38The Freedom Deluxe.
11:40Freedom Deluxe.
11:40With the big noodles.
11:42Yeah, good.
11:42And tasty.
11:43Yeah.
11:44Like your standard good deluxe.
11:45Yes.
11:46A good quality deluxe.
11:47If this is the Mac you were stuck with, it would be perfectly fine.
11:49Yeah.
11:49The other Freedom one, which is the standard Mac noodles, these ones.
11:52Also pretty good.
11:53Actually, kind of a natural cheese taste.
11:55Yeah.
11:55Yeah, they don't want to give the military crappy Mac.
11:57I actually think I like the standard better.
11:59You do?
12:00I like this one a lot.
12:01I think this one's a little better for me.
12:02Let's try the Macaroni.
12:04No.
12:05It mostly just tastes like butter.
12:06Right.
12:07It's just butter noodles.
12:08Yeah.
12:08Go back to like one of the cheesy ones.
12:10Yeah, the Freedom ones.
12:12Mmm.
12:12Mmm.
12:13Yeah.
12:14America.
12:14All right, let's do it, Frankie.
12:16Malaysia Mac.
12:17Oh, my God.
12:18Um, it's, there's no cheese involved.
12:22There's a common thing with these International Macs.
12:24Yeah.
12:25They tend to be watery.
12:26Yeah, it's watery.
12:27And soft.
12:28Well, because you didn't drain, right?
12:29They was all boiled in the box.
12:31It's, it just tastes like a chicken pasta.
12:33More like a chicken noodle soup.
12:34Yes.
12:35There's no cheese flavor involved.
12:36Like, as far as like, hey, how good of a Mac and cheese is that?
12:38It's a zero.
12:39Yeah, it's not a Macaroni and cheese.
12:40Yeah, right.
12:40But the Freedom's Choice, should you happen to be on a base and you can have access to
12:44the commissary, that's good Mac.
12:45They're not giving them crap over there.
12:46No, that's a, that's a good, decent American Mac.
12:50Proud to be an American!
12:55Here's that cactus room again.
12:57I've got a room over here that makes slime.
12:59It uses snowmen to make the slime, which is kind of weird, but it does work.
13:03So that's my whole base.
13:05I hope you enjoyed the tour.
13:06Bye-bye!
13:06Bye-bye!
13:07Bye-bye!
13:07Bye-bye!
13:08Bye-bye!
13:09Bye-bye!
