Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet Sour Patch Kids | Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit
Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make a gourmet version of Sour Patch Kids!
The Sour Patch Kids met in high school in Wichita, Kansas in 1964 and within two years were touring the world. At the time, they couldn’t have known they would become the biggest pop act of the decade, but with the perfect blend of talent, timing and dedication their ascension seems almost preordained in retrospect. Jimmy Redd’s swooning vocals, Janet Cherry’s lead guitar, Bill Lemon’s bouncy bass and Martha Green’s driving drums were met by screaming fans from Kansas to Kyoto. The songs “My Sugar Kid” (1965) and “Your Sour Smile” (1967) are now considered important contributions to the American music canon.
These were the good years. The band’s legend grew and the money poured in. Their label, Sweet Sounds Music Group, pushed them to reach their audiences in new ways, building out their merchandising arm into clothing, lunch boxes and even a sour sugar-coated gummy candy. However, the label was also arguably responsible for the band’s downfall. In response to slightly drooping numbers, the label, citing a clause in the band’s contract that the four excited teenagers did not notice before signing back in 1964, added a new member to the group: Barry Blue. The new member of The Sour Patch Kids was not well received, within the band or by the fans. Critics considered his music style to be a step backwards to the band’s earliest sound, which many considered them to have grown out of. And in May of 1969, the creative differences came to a head and the band broke up. The label had the original four members blacklisted and they stopped making music all together. The only remnant of their success is the music they made and the Sour Patch Kids candy which remains popular to this day.

I’m pregnant right now. To show you how bad cravings are: I was 35 seconds into the video. Paused it, hopped in my car and drove 20 minutes in a snow storm to get bags of sour patch kids. Worth it
Congratulations on being pregnant! Don't mutilate your son or daughter's genitals when they're born. For their sake.
@@jonahs92 w... What
@@linasayshush Hey, I'm just looking out for the baby. Genital mutilation is not a fate I'd wish upon anyone, least of all an innocent child. And it's far too common.
that was dangerous!! but im glad u got what u craved for 😂 anyway congratulations!!💕

at this point, the dehydrator is basically a member of the BA test kitchen and a character in this series
It just filed for its SAG card.
The dehydrator, the tempered chocolate maker, the walk-in and the computer are all extras at this point.
Chef dehydrator at your service.
it needs its own theme music
Can we have like, one episode explaining what a dehydrator exactly is and what it can be used for? Sort of like an homage to the faithful appliance. :) Cuz most homes don't have that.
“He’s making fish jerky” That’s such a brad thing to be making
Never had it, huh
its probably good, too
@@NordboDK squid jerky is pretty good, haven't had fish before though
That's nothing, have you guys had quasi dimensional reptile jerky?
@@josephgalimidi2831 I'm a squid jerky fan (especially spicy ones) but the salmon jerky I've had has been awful
is everyone just going to ignore that Carla's child would eat a whole lime
Growing up, my dad and I would cut up limes, put salt on them and suck on them. It was really good.
Annabelle Dionisio I do that lol
Young children have a higher tolerance to sweet and sour
i can eat whole lemons and limes. without making a face. although i don't do it regularly.
I used to eat whole lemons when I was a kid but now I can't. Not because I don't want to, but because in an odd twist I became allergic to citrus fruits/citric acid.
Imaging having the name Cosmo Music dangg thats cool omg
I imagine him playing saxophone and having posters all over NY The posters are gorgeous and in funky fonts, with a caricature of cosmo in outlines and an incredibly colorful pallet. He’s probably 19-25 at this point, a very successful jazz musician and artist. Later on in his career he developed his tone and quality of sound reaching into the depths of sound.
Better than Cosmo Lavish and his putrid finger.
One of my favorite artist's name is Cosmo Sheldrake. Some really cool name combos with the first name Cosmo.
Yeah, that resume would go straight in the trash.
@@aboz8649 That is very... detailed.
Claire: it’s really disturbing that they are in the shape of kids ALSO Claire: let’s use Cosmo as the model for ours.
And when she ate one she bit the head off first 😂😂😂😂

I really don't have the heart to tell her..

Amiel handing Claire his rings and saying "now you're married" is one of my favorite parts of this episode
"Nothing is too sour." - Cosmo, the sour sommelier... and a person fully prepared to life.
Well, when life gives him lemons, he'll enjoy them
imagine being a kid with that much power
@@buwumet LMAOOOOO NOOOO😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Carla, stop overfeeding your son. Childhood obesity is no joke. And maybe the hamburger t-shirt is a tad much.
@@marcof7110 ok
Claire: "See it wrinkle?" Me: "No?" Claire: "So that means its done" Me: "Yes"
Literally my reaction
@@Rialagma lol i was expecting her to be like no its wrong
same
I was like "where?"
I'm jogging on 🐔 nugget
*”Ooh, it’s too sour”* *continues to drink water with lemon*
canceling sourness out with a milder sour actually works and water right after the citric acid is sooooo nice
Water with lemon isn’t very sour, it’s actually kind of bitter
@@peepo8527 it's definitely very sour and it's more sour than bitter
Omg I was about to say that. 😂
😂
lmao I just love how brad is credited as 'watermelon felon' (at 2:31)
Claire to Carla : "When's the last time you had a sour patch kid" Carla: "Not that long ago" Claire to Cosmo: "When's the last time you had a sour patch kid" Cosmo: "Not that long ago" yep, definitely her kid
Why does this comment have no replies at all??
Anyone else keep coming back to these after years? My ultimate comfort videos🥰
Chris: sitting in the back on his computer 1 week later: still sitting in the back on his computer
Claire: "I'm feeling really good about this method" *notices that there are 34 minutes left of the video Me: Oh no.
the first thing i do after hearing those words is check the length of the video. always makes me laugh XD
lmaoo that's what i did too
me: *reads this comment* also me: *checks the time immediately and realizes im in for a wild ride*
Claire: "Don't show this part" Editor: "We need to show it twice, and the second time we're gonna zoom in on it and just really emphasize the dispair. I think that's what Claire wants."
I love how whenever someone says don't show this/edit it out, the editor doesn't listen.
@@MangoMotors I just think they hired a bunch of sadists to edit.
😂😂😂😂
loved this part lol
I think its because they wanted to show that pro's can make mistakes and the process of dealing with the problem and solving it. Or maybe I'm going to deep into it but if that's the reason then the editor did a perfect job of that.
Cosmo’s reaction at the end was worth the entire 42 minutes
“Nothing is too sour “
"Ew, it's really wet" "Why does it tingle?" Two things you don't want to hear in a cooking video
That do be true doe-
"I would die for CFTBATK" - Everyone 2019
Brasil would die for CFTBATK
they need to make "CFTBATK defense squad" t shirts
we've all watched the video huh
@@lakia-chan lol yup
OFWGKTA
i just imagined a laffy taffy episode where claire has to write jokes on the wrappers haha
That is an amazing concept
Need this
they'll have three spoon fulls of kosher salt and all the wrappers will have /salty/ remarks ;)
She would write knock knock, who is there, Claire Claire who Claire of egg.🤤🤤🤤😇😇👎
gracie lou hi
Love how supportive they all are when Claire’s feeling down and defeated.
“you eat a whole bag n cut ur tongue, an you just keep eating them” me @ every sour thing ever
I can't be the only one who really hopes that Cosmo meets a girl named Wanda.
That would be fairly odd.
Bree The Nerd 😂
I love the internet
Perfect
@@Bumblebr33 "... and then thousands of adults across the internet started sending him friend requests to their daughters..."
"Nothing is too sour" -Cosmo, 2019
Hopefully, they'll raise the bar on the next sweet and sour item by using advantame and malic acid in an extreme version.
Feels like they're trying to force this "Cosmo" thing. Kid had a future bully vibe about him.
@@sellingacoerwa8318Don't project your crippling insecurities on others. Did no one tell you not to judge a book by it's cover or are you naturally that shallow?
*snorts malic acid*
That's all i need to see
Claire : “Don’t show this part.” Editor : Shows it again, in slow motion, in black and white with dramatic music.
Hot pnes
I'm so glad they showed Cosmo trying them, I would have been devastated otherwise. That kid is incredibly good and pure and I will fight literally anyone to protect him.
I really dislike him...
You should fight his mom for giving him a fish name.
Weiße Wölfin he’s a child and you don’t know him personally...
I feel like Claire needs a 3D printer so she can make all the shapes she wants - shapes of cutters
And molds
She should have made starch molds using the store bought candies to make the shapes in the starch.
Clark Kent she didn’t like the store made ones tho ):
michelle l this is also a great idea i think it would save her sm time on so many gourmet test kitchen projects
Kermit of Rivia do you realize how much ba probably makes to be able to rent that space alone????
Claire in Earlier Episodes: **pulls out calipers and measures** Claire Now: "I'm just trying to cut strips, approximately whatever this is by whatever this is." Guys I think Claire's finally slowing her roll
We've finally broken her. Also this may have actually been filmed before they got the caliper lol.
Yeah, this was filmed during the summer (2:50)
we need a shirt that says "thank god for Rhoda" with the outline of her and Claire hugging
BA: DONT BLEND HOT STUFF Also: *blends hot stuff on every single episode*
Only do it when u a pro
Claire: “don’t show this part” Editor: *shows part and highlights it*
Time stamp ??
Cassie Gonzalez 25:23
lol
Awwwww he did a whole slo-mo-monochrome-sad-music-montage as well.... HAHAHAHA
In slow motion.
Claire needs a 3D printer so that she can just print her moulds out of flexible filament.
We as viewers should all promote this concept. It would make her job so much easier.
It wouldn’t be very heat resistant would it?
Vexinal 3D printing filament melts at a higher temp than sugar syrup I believe. At least our one does
Nina Thomson ok I just wasn’t quite sure how that worked as I don’t have a 3D printer
She doesn't need one, but such a huge kitchen definitely needs a designer/engineer friend with a good 3D printer.
I wonder if Cosmo knows he’s living all of our dreams😂😭
42:21 "I just wish I'd done better." "That's how I feel literally everyday, Claire, so..." This man is all of us.
Claire: “who keeps leaving the blender on high??” Brad: “Tae Bao dooOoOOubllle TIIiiiME!!!”

“I’m so tired of eating steak. It’s nice to have a little fruit.” * eats a sour patch kid *

Sooo funny!
It pleases me that even the people at BA eat sour patch kids. There’s always this idea that professional chefs and people in this industry only eat the best food, but when you find out they eat the same stuff the rest of us plebs eat, it’s comforting.
When Cosmo said its really good. my heart 😍😍
