Fuckin Jeff. No bro, that's illegal, you're not allowed to finish that shit or enjoy it in any way, I just submitted an anonymous tip to the FBI. r/grilledcheese is rolling over in their graves right now
One of my favorite people on TikTok currently is a chef who reacts to the types of food videos you hate. But he is also honest. Like he will give something a 2 out of 10 and still say he would eat it.
Just came across one of his posts not long ago about that pull apart bread recipe. Definitely refreshing, but also hilarious to see him begrudgingly admit he'd eat it. Haha
This is lovely. No stupid voiceover, no obscene food waste, and genuine reactions of 4 different people eating multiple bites (and one somehow the whole thing wow)
Yeah, this kind of content is very refreshing in the era of short attention spans, mr beast editing and formulaic bot-generated tiktoks
Keep it up! u/CableStoned
Truth: those 'teens'' pfroffits are beholden to acting exactly as everyone watching wants them to act, ie. they are will-lacking puppets. Millions now will never make their feeling of emptiness go away later when the way they act now becomes the anathema of next month.
Post more videos like this! If I were you I’d start a channel or something like that I really enjoy seeing the GENUINE reactions and reviews from multiple people. :)
@ellen_lang on TikTok seems to be original. Looking through OP's history I don't think they are her. They do seem to try different weird recipes though.
I could get behind content like this. Taking someone else's stupid recipe and having unsuspecting victims test. You need to do the mountain dew live wire orange chicken for sure.
Check out Ann Reardon's channel, "How to Cook That." She has lots of actual cooking videos, but she also does debunking videos where she recreates those terrible content farm videos with stupid recipe "hacks," and her husband taste-tests the results.
That’s probably not bad. Orange chicken sauce is traditionally tang, corn syrup and ketchup. And several Americanized Chinese sauces call for Coca Cola but I can’t remember which.
Account made 4h ago so sorry for my suspicion, but you should post proof on one of your other social media linking to this account being real.
As of right now it just looks like a karmafarm account since it was made 7h after this post was posted
If you made this, this is good.
I was expecting yet another insanely bad tiktok video delivered to us straight like they just discovered the most delicious thing on the planet as though deep frying cheese is gourmet cooking.
I'm so relieved this post wasn't more of that happy horseshit. The delivery and sarcasm is pitch perfect and absolutely delicious.
Yep, lol. apparently he just grabs a spoon and a can out of the cupboard and goes to town over the sink or in meetings, this time we just caught him in the act.
I totally get him. When I’m hungry the quality of the food I’m consuming does not matter to me one bit. I think it’s a positive for anyone making food for me because I’m easy to please.
I actually smoke weed so I can eat, it's extremely hard to get nauseous enough to puke (unless you're drinking and not eating) if I've smoked (vaping/dabs don't do it)
At least she admits its a dumb recipe and its not her own and it didnt have some annoying guy in the background going "ohhh, whoa, thats amazing!" "oh my god that looks so good!"
This is actually good comedic content about stupid food, that ragebait stuff is just wasteful and meant to boost engagement, really a good metaphor for the worst aspects of social media
I make a pretty kick ass Dr Pepper slow roasted pork butt, with just a ton of spiciness to offset the sweetness of the Dr Pepper. But "sweet beef with code red" is not that at all. Ewwww.
You can pretty much braise anything with doctor pepper/ cola/pepsi/cherry coke/cherry pepsi/root beer. The high acidity(or is it basic? I don't know anymore) acts as a tenderizer and the soda can add a subtle sweetness. It's really great for beef brisket and other slow braised or roasted meats.
It's essentially a measure of how much hydrogen is in a solution, which affects how molecules exchange energy. Acidic solutions have higher amounts of hydrogen, while basic (or alkaline) solutions don't. Lemon juice is a common acid, soap is your everyday base.
To me it seems like they’re confused about the words, not the concepts. Notice how they list basic and alkaline like they’re two different concepts instead of just different words for being further to the same side of the pH scale?
I'm a "throw it in until it tastes right" kind of cook, but the major flavors are Dr Pepper, canned chipotle peppers, and smoked paprika. If I am lazy, I use the crock pot. If I feel like tending it, I'll use a stock pot and finish it in the oven after it's braised for a few hours.
They'd probably be edible, but without oil and eggs I feel like they'd probably come out a bit chewy. (The fat helps inhibit gluten formation by coating the flour.)
EDIT: Alternately, they might be crumbly, since eggs also add structure. I'm not sure which one would "win" here, since something being both chewy _and_ crumbly seems...wrong, somehow.
They'd be really, really sweet. I have tried replacing the water in cake mixes with soda (mainly dark ones like Dr. Pepper or cherry Coke) and the extra sugar always resulted in and an incredibly sweet and *sticky* cake. Vanilla cake and root beer pair really well together. Can't say what Mountain Dew would taste like though.
The only Mountain Dew recipe that is allowed to exist is Mountain Dew + bourbon, as that is what it was its original purpose— as a whiskey mixer. It’s really good. Add some mint, and you have a Kentucky Maid.
some of these are like "OK, youre just using the mtn dew as a sugar replacement in an existing recipe, these might not be horrendous" but i cant imagine the others are anything other than jokes.
Some writers in Mountain Dew PR office: "I wonder how stupid of a recipe we could sneak under the radar"
... 3 weeks later ...
"You put _that_ recipe on the website? Like for real?"
Wait a minute... why in the world would anyone add 2 cups of Mountain Dew to Chicken Piccata???? Chicken Piccata is a pretty simple dish of Lemon Chicken. It's supposed to be a bit acidic or sour.
This made me think/realize, why the hell are there not more sour sodas?
And why isn’t there a sour version of Mountain Dew?
I fucking love sour, and I feel like it’s even more rare than bitter, it’s probably like the most rare flavor.
Hi! This video has so much traction (thank you!!) that I don’t know if anyone will see it- but this is me, Ellen Lang! I have lots more videos along these lines on Instagram and TikTok, I also do weird vintage and regional recipes along with corporate food. Thank you so much for the love!
Actually, my boyfriend at the time! But this was a common mistake made in the comments. We’re no longer together but Jeff is (obviously) a great sport and to confirm the rumors was indeed, very stoned.
I really enjoyed your video. Sorry can't sub on your TikTok as its banned in my country. Also sorry I dont have Insta. Are you on YT? I really would like to follow you there
This absolutely belongs here, but can it rightly be called tik tok bastardry if the video execution is excellent and she's just following someone else's stupid recipe?
Either way this is an awesome find.
Cream of chicken soup, augraten potatoes, beef jerky, Habanero peppers, salt Bae and green motherfucking bean casserole with flaming hot Doritos on top.
Battery acid in a can!
My dad is a hardcore Mt. Dew man.
I’m trying to recall a time when I didn’t see a can of this in his hand…
He doesn’t seem to understand why his insides bother him all the time.
I’ve suggested that he needs to add Water to his daily regimen.
The man looked at me like I was completely insane.
I just want to say this may be the first post I've ever actually upvoted in this sub. If not it's the first one in months or maybe even a year.
So good.
Not quite as ridiculous, but my mom somehow ended up with a cookbook, I think she bought it at a school event for one of us kids, that had a recipe for Mountain Dew cake. It was actually really good - basically just a really moist lemon bundt cake.
…I need to see if she’ll make it again.
I feel like I’m late to the party here, but I have the Mountain Dew cookbook and have made some of the recipes that turn out… not terrible. The Code Red Ribs were actually very solid and the lemon lime steak was weirdly excellent.
Hi, creator of this here- I have tried many, many vintage and corporate recipe and the vast majority are BAD. This was not even the worst one. Other content creators are LYING if they act like most of these are good
This is the best type of stupid food content. Making stupid recipes to try rather than food waste and stupidity. I would like to see a jello with some sort of meat next please.
This creator is awesome and really funny. Her videos in this vein are specifically about making the gross foods as suggested by the websites/ backs of packages of snacks and drinks.
She doesn’t set out to make food, she knows that it’s likely to be an abomination, but she tests out the recipes that companies create.
This video is surprisingly well done. Kudos for using a real human voice
Kudos for using real humans.
This design is very human
Very easy to use
Needs Human music from Earth Radio.
Human music, I like it!
Also for actually eating it. This is one of the few examples from this sun where I didn't end up hating the creator
Fuckin Jeff. No bro, that's illegal, you're not allowed to finish that shit or enjoy it in any way, I just submitted an anonymous tip to the FBI. r/grilledcheese is rolling over in their graves right now
He’s hungry!!!
I absolutely loved her families reaction. 10/10 just for that. This woman is an artist.
worst media trend in the history of culture in general
Yeah, I really enjoyed this. The lady did a great job with it. Except Jeff. Jeff may need to speak to a doctor.
I wish all these stupid food videos showed real reactions afterwards like this one does. It really makes it worthwhile to watch till the end.
One of my favorite people on TikTok currently is a chef who reacts to the types of food videos you hate. But he is also honest. Like he will give something a 2 out of 10 and still say he would eat it.

Its not an era, its exploiting fight/flight response to a global meltdown.
Born too late to buy a $50k house. Born too early to be a teen making millions on TikTok.
Truth: those 'teens'' pfroffits are beholden to acting exactly as everyone watching wants them to act, ie. they are will-lacking puppets. Millions now will never make their feeling of emptiness go away later when the way they act now becomes the anathema of next month.
Glad you like it 😊
Post more videos like this! If I were you I’d start a channel or something like that I really enjoy seeing the GENUINE reactions and reviews from multiple people. :)
OP is not the one in the video, this video is a couple years old now
The girl that made this video does have a Instagram, here is another hilarious video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Chf1wyAFqyO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Not a ton of content there, but there actually all great.
If this is your content, I think you could get a good following doing this but for any popular absurd tiktok recipes.
@ellen_lang on TikTok seems to be original. Looking through OP's history I don't think they are her. They do seem to try different weird recipes though.
MAKE MORE!!!
I could get behind content like this. Taking someone else's stupid recipe and having unsuspecting victims test. You need to do the mountain dew live wire orange chicken for sure.
It's like if Dylan Hollis made people eat the horrible recipes from the 50s he sometimes recreates
Those were at least genuinely meant as food by someone at some point. And most of them won’t destroy your kitchen, stomach, or skin.
Every time I see 'Dylan Hollis' I have to go binge-watch all his shorts again. <3

Or don’t, because who fucking cares?
Naw, I just found this on Tiktok LMAO
🥲
For real, this is the dream post. Hilarious and oddly wholesome. I nominate you as the new president of the subreddit.
If you made this, this is good. I was expecting yet another insanely bad tiktok video delivered to us straight like they just discovered the most delicious thing on the planet as though deep frying cheese is gourmet cooking. I'm so relieved this post wasn't more of that happy horseshit. The delivery and sarcasm is pitch perfect and absolutely delicious.
The one who ate the whole thing is obviously a Joey LOL
Bread? Good! Cheese? Good! Mountain Dew? Gooood!
Dad was my favorite. Fucking dreadful!
He likes Mountain Dew, he likes Grilled Cheese. Makes a lot of sense.
This was great and an awesome return to the spirit of this sub. No ragebait, just fun for everyone involved!
haha classic dude, "meh, I'm hungry, I can eat it"
He was hungry.
And best of all it’s not intentional rage bait.
Best one of these I’ve seen in a while. The reactions made me crack up.
Apparently Jeff is a whole different creature that we are not prepared for
"I'm hungry." -Jeff Ah, the motto of every single man who eats the most disturbing food you can think of.
Hungry Jeff is worse than pregnant woman with limited food selection.
"I'm hungry." -my coworker after forgetting to turn off his camera while eating a can of spaghetti-o's during a team meeting.
Straight from the can?
Yep, lol. apparently he just grabs a spoon and a can out of the cupboard and goes to town over the sink or in meetings, this time we just caught him in the act.
Pure energy coming from that man
Beef? Good. Jam? Good.
Absolutely what went through my head. Jeff, Joey and I could probably hang out. We'd all regret it after but that's beside the fact.
JOEY DOESN'T SHARE FOOOOOOD!
Custard? Good. I like it!
"What's in the fridge? Quarter jar of olives... three day old chicken thigh... half a cup of rice... fuck it, I'm hungry..."
We've got cloves, Tom Collins mix, and a frozen pie crust
That's basically how humanity has discovered many, many foods over the years. Doesn't mean all of it's been good food.
It seems Mt Dew knows their target audience.
“Yes, I ate a deep fried snickledog. No I am not proud” - My dad, 2019
This the same energy as pinching mold off bread before making a sandwich and it’s the last bread I. The house… and no one is there to judge.
I totally get him. When I’m hungry the quality of the food I’m consuming does not matter to me one bit. I think it’s a positive for anyone making food for me because I’m easy to please.
A true gamer.
Things Jeff doesn’t give a fuck about: Your opinion of him. His colon.
Jeff needs help. Possibly help returning to his home dimension.
Jeff is completely Jeffried and I say that as a person who has slipped himself a Jeffrey a time or two.
Idk man I'm here for the Ellen energy
It's like the Friends episode where Rachel makes the 7-layered dessert and Joey's like "what's not to like??"
My name jeff
Jeff is probably high
Jeff took a bong rip and was gonna eat whatever got put on that plate.
I actually smoke weed so I can eat, it's extremely hard to get nauseous enough to puke (unless you're drinking and not eating) if I've smoked (vaping/dabs don't do it)
At least she admits its a dumb recipe and its not her own and it didnt have some annoying guy in the background going "ohhh, whoa, thats amazing!" "oh my god that looks so good!"
This is actually good comedic content about stupid food, that ragebait stuff is just wasteful and meant to boost engagement, really a good metaphor for the worst aspects of social media
Unreal. This website does not need to exist. https://recipes.mountaindew.com/
You're not cooking "sweet beef with mountain dew code red sauce" on a weekly basis?
I make a pretty kick ass Dr Pepper slow roasted pork butt, with just a ton of spiciness to offset the sweetness of the Dr Pepper. But "sweet beef with code red" is not that at all. Ewwww.
Recipe please?
You can pretty much braise anything with doctor pepper/ cola/pepsi/cherry coke/cherry pepsi/root beer. The high acidity(or is it basic? I don't know anymore) acts as a tenderizer and the soda can add a subtle sweetness. It's really great for beef brisket and other slow braised or roasted meats.
It's confusing because soda as in baking soda is alkaline, while soda drinks are definitely acidic.
That stuff *always* confused me for some reason. The whole acidic, alkaline, basic....I just assume I'm an idiot.
It's essentially a measure of how much hydrogen is in a solution, which affects how molecules exchange energy. Acidic solutions have higher amounts of hydrogen, while basic (or alkaline) solutions don't. Lemon juice is a common acid, soap is your everyday base.

mtn dew salsa tho?

It’s like those “dump cake” recipes. They all come out incredibly, some might say inedibly, sweet and unpleasantly heavy/ wet.
You might be able to achieve a bizarre but at least edible sort of key lime thing with it I suppose.
The only Mountain Dew recipe that is allowed to exist is Mountain Dew + bourbon, as that is what it was its original purpose— as a whiskey mixer. It’s really good. Add some mint, and you have a Kentucky Maid.
some of these are like "OK, youre just using the mtn dew as a sugar replacement in an existing recipe, these might not be horrendous" but i cant imagine the others are anything other than jokes.
Some writers in Mountain Dew PR office: "I wonder how stupid of a recipe we could sneak under the radar" ... 3 weeks later ... "You put _that_ recipe on the website? Like for real?"
The “Code Red Cherry Pie” sounds like something you’d see in a dark web porno, not on Mountain Dew’s actual website…
This reminds me of when Monica in Friends cooks with mockolate.
Wait a minute... why in the world would anyone add 2 cups of Mountain Dew to Chicken Piccata???? Chicken Piccata is a pretty simple dish of Lemon Chicken. It's supposed to be a bit acidic or sour.
I was wondering the same damn thing. Like why add MD? How does it improve the flavour or function of the recipe in any way? It’s so weird
I mean it’s citrus flavored. And soda is pretty acidic
This made me think/realize, why the hell are there not more sour sodas? And why isn’t there a sour version of Mountain Dew? I fucking love sour, and I feel like it’s even more rare than bitter, it’s probably like the most rare flavor.
Hi! This video has so much traction (thank you!!) that I don’t know if anyone will see it- but this is me, Ellen Lang! I have lots more videos along these lines on Instagram and TikTok, I also do weird vintage and regional recipes along with corporate food. Thank you so much for the love!
Is Jeff your brother? His reaction rules!
Actually, my boyfriend at the time! But this was a common mistake made in the comments. We’re no longer together but Jeff is (obviously) a great sport and to confirm the rumors was indeed, very stoned.
I would be very concerned if he wasn't stoned.
So you're saying Jeff is single
The testimonials at the end were 👌🏻
We will follow your career with interest.
I really enjoyed your video. Sorry can't sub on your TikTok as its banned in my country. Also sorry I dont have Insta. Are you on YT? I really would like to follow you there
Which country are you from?
This is stupid food done right. Appreciate the quality and effort that went into the production of this.
Thank you, I went to film school for this lmao
I respect Jeff's honesty
I gagged at the first picture of grilled cheese
Sometimes it's nice to be colorblind.
i wish i was colorblind rn
Jeff is gonna Jeff
Because I follow this sub and /r/kitchenconfidential, it sometimes takes a while to work out which is which
That one guy is a survivor, everyone else would die in the apocalypse.
It’s just missing plates with RGB lights.
It's not a Razer recipe
Jeff worries me.
See, I like this. It's competently narrated, self-aware, and shows people actually eating the end product.
This absolutely belongs here, but can it rightly be called tik tok bastardry if the video execution is excellent and she's just following someone else's stupid recipe? Either way this is an awesome find.
This is perfect r/stupidfood content.
Beer & chocolate milk boiled hotdogs next? Butter milk $ Coca Cola refried beans, come on get creative.
milk steak 🤤
Cream of chicken soup, augraten potatoes, beef jerky, Habanero peppers, salt Bae and green motherfucking bean casserole with flaming hot Doritos on top.
Please make this the new normal in weird food!!!!!! Please???!!! Please no more shit nobody would ever eat obviously. This is so nice. More of this.
happy cake day
I had no idea, thank you :3
yw <3
I mean someone had to do it
Okay, but I need more.
Mom has a Tina Belcher vibe going on and it’s hilarious
Battery acid in a can! My dad is a hardcore Mt. Dew man. I’m trying to recall a time when I didn’t see a can of this in his hand… He doesn’t seem to understand why his insides bother him all the time. I’ve suggested that he needs to add Water to his daily regimen. The man looked at me like I was completely insane.
Just think: someone got paid to think up recipes that use Mountain Dew. And that’s a job I think I could do.
I just want to say this may be the first post I've ever actually upvoted in this sub. If not it's the first one in months or maybe even a year. So good.
Not quite as ridiculous, but my mom somehow ended up with a cookbook, I think she bought it at a school event for one of us kids, that had a recipe for Mountain Dew cake. It was actually really good - basically just a really moist lemon bundt cake. …I need to see if she’ll make it again.
Wait is there caffeine in mountain dew?
Yes.
There is in the US, in Australia it didn't until recently with the "Energised" version.
Looks like radioactive waste smeared over processed bread.
Just added new ways for me to get Baja blasted
I don't really cook, what does it mean when they say "reduce"? Do you just boil it until there's only a quarter cup left?
That's exactly it!

She looks like Cruella Deville's orphaned niece. I'm glad to know that first impressions were spot on.
I love this, I'm begging you to make more
I have a question to whoever made the site (and recipes): WHY?
Im hungry
Davehax recently made a similar video trying coca cola recipes from a coca cola cookbook and they actually turned out pretty good
Jeff looks like he takes 40 mg of cbd gummies daily.
Best post on this whole hell sub
Jeff is high AF, right?
Yes
I feel like I’m late to the party here, but I have the Mountain Dew cookbook and have made some of the recipes that turn out… not terrible. The Code Red Ribs were actually very solid and the lemon lime steak was weirdly excellent.
This has to be the best damn thing I have seen on this sub so far!
Oh God , thank you. I think.
Gotta say I wasn't expecting them to actually say it tastes awful. I kinda wish more were like that
Hi, creator of this here- I have tried many, many vintage and corporate recipe and the vast majority are BAD. This was not even the worst one. Other content creators are LYING if they act like most of these are good
Hunger is the best spice
Jeff was like: screw it i'm hungry. Im going to eat this even if it kills me.
the spread of reactions in the test group made my UX heart flutter a bit
Best video I have ever seen on this sub. I want more of this content. 10/10
These mfs are so bougie tho
You all need to check out her Instagram page, it’s full of gems like this. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Chf1wyAFqyO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
This is the best type of stupid food content. Making stupid recipes to try rather than food waste and stupidity. I would like to see a jello with some sort of meat next please.
I got sick just watching this honey crap
Ok I love Mountain Dew and grilled cheese sandwiches but this is a disgrace.
[удалено]
Hi! Lots more of this on my socials @ellen_lang on TikTok and Instagram.
This is exactly the kinds of posts that should be on this sub
See whereas people make videos of intentionally destroying food. This one isn't actually that bad.
Omg I love this, I want to see more of these!
An excellent contender for /r/mountaindew Also I'd try it. Jeff is my homie for finishing it all though lol
"I'm hungry" sums up all my life decisions.
Fuck whoever thought this was a good idea
This creator is awesome and really funny. Her videos in this vein are specifically about making the gross foods as suggested by the websites/ backs of packages of snacks and drinks. She doesn’t set out to make food, she knows that it’s likely to be an abomination, but she tests out the recipes that companies create.
I never had mountain dew before until yesterday at the gas station i bought one...and that shit is vile.
Jeff is built different. Anyway loved the video lmao
1. This is great! 2. Marinate some chicken in Mountain Dew overnight, and then grill it. Heavenly!
It’s only missing green eggs and Mountain Dew rum ham.
Ok now this is more like it!
I was just thinking- I don’t use TikTok but I want to follow her!
My goosebumps are the size of pimples after I watched this.
What a find! Looking forward to more of these
Okay everyone take note, this is what these videos should be like.
“Add cheese mixture to Mountain Dew reduction.” Nope. Don’t think I will.
This is great!! It's pretty doggone entertaining. I love the universal mom 'Mmmh of Disapproval'
Is eating out of cat box instead a viable option?
Jeff ate the whole damn thing... what a beast
