The premise sounds like American excess combined with Kids Choice Award slime silliness, but these videos of men passively being covered by all different types of food are surprisingly emotional. And don’t worry– the wasteful mess is for a good cause.
Youtubers Steve Kardynal and Alex Negrete have this to say about their venture:
After releasing these videos we realized how much of a close personal and cultural issue that world hunger truly is and how many of us it affects. Because of this, we decided to use the exposure our videos receive as a tool to raise awareness and help save lives. Every human being deserves to have a chance to live a happy life, and even a little step is a step in the right direction.
The pair donate the majority of their profits from the Raining Food series to Action Against Hunger. You can check out their donation page here.
If you’re tempted to recreate the videos at home, here’s a list of all the food items that make an appearance in the series: Apple Jacks, milk, sausage, hot dog buns, ketchup, mustard, sliced onions, Candy(variety), tomato sauce, meatballs, parmesan cheese, Texas Toast Garlic, noodles, brownie batter, sprinkles, whipped cream, cherries, chopped ham, shredded cheese, sliced peppers, diced onions, eggs, waffles, syrup, chicken legs, wings and thighs, even more candy, mashed potatoes, Country gravy, green peas, ribeye steaks, and banana creme pie.
Phew. Maybe leave this one to the professionals.
