Thanks for the kind words and support 😁🐕❤
What a great original idea.
I did this with a tomato from a chili cheese burger from the original Tommy’s
Hey James! How do you feel about heirloom varieties of fruits and veggies vs. the hybrids or GMO varieties?
Sorry Bill Gates whe are buying burgers instead of youre GMO seeds. Whe love real food not youre MRNA POISONS.
funny thing 😅 i tried this🤣
Had same results 👍
Cliff hanger was a real Humdinger. James. Can hardly wait for the follow-up
You can't have a radio playing in the background of a YouTube video or you get accused of 'stealing' money from the record companies. Does anyone honestly think BK won't attack this man with all their attorneys for 'stealing' their tomato genetics?
Super fun video!!! Amazing to witness the incredible intelligence & resilience of seeds!!! Can’t wait to see the results of the McDonald’s tomato experiment!!!
Your tomato was so much nicer, meatier than the BK one.
This is very inspiring! Thanks for another great video. 👍
That's pretty cool! I was so sure they would end up bland and tasteless ❤
This was super interesting! I love this experiment. Cant wait to see what happened to McD tomato. More experiments please!
This is amazing 😮
this demonstrates so clearly how growing in pots needs so much more attention than growing in open land. even big raised beds needs more attention, so i feel really strongly that we should stop encouraging beginners to think their land is not good enough
I planted the entire whopper in a container, and wow, I have a really healthy plant, producing the best whoppers with cheese
My back yard is filled with corn, jalapeno, tomato, and onion all from store scraps. The fast food route is a real flex though. Great video!
I m FROM MYANMAR AND I WATCHING YOU VIDEOS FOR ABOUT 1 OR 2 YEARS NOW ❤ NOW BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEOS I HAVE THE SMALL BACKYARD GARDEN🎉🎉🎉🎉THANKS FOR YOUR HELPING😊😊😊
W🍅W 🎉 I must admit I'm very surprised!
I have to admit that I would've never thought of trying this due to all the abuse those poor tomatoes go through just to end up on a Whopper. The cup that you put the entire slice into is something that I first heard was done by the Amish, and now I know that works too. This would be a fun experiment to duplicate for next year, but I might add fermenting some of the seeds first. Should still work, but one never knows until it's tried… 😉 Someone else mentioned in the comments about trying to plant seeds from the spice section of the grocery store, sounds like a good time to me 🙂
Such a great experiment! Thank you for all of your efforts in making these wonderful videos. I can't even fathom all the work that goes into it. Can't wait for the McDonalds video!
Bunh lua song tua de
What's with the excruciating detail of every step? Appealing to the absolute lowest common denominator?
I know one thing…that is one tomato i would NEVER eat.
This is about the coolest thing I've ever seen! How fun.
