It's like a cake with banana frosting, made by a monkey.

(We Wish You A Merry Christmas)

This is really messy.

(crunching)

Is this raisins?

The only part I don't like is just the raisins in it.

There's beef?

(gasp)

Oh, I thought those were apples!

I did not taste the meat at all.

(rapid violin strum)

What is this?

Is that cheese?

I want a cheese crispy.

Alright, now, let me try this crispy stuff.

Mmm mmm

Oh my God!

(bouncy music)

Is this gravy?

Caramel?

It doesn't taste like a real brownie or cake.

It's good.

Does it have raisins?

I don't like raisins.

It's okay.

I don't really wanna change...much.

But I would change...

stuff.

(bouncy music)

I'm scared

Is this a type of jello?

It's sour!

It's really good, I like this.

Ah!

I didn't think I was going to like it because

it was slimy.

Oh, whoa.

(bouncy music)

Kinda tastes like cheese cake.

My mom would tell me stories about how her mom and my

mom would make pineapple upside down cake for Christmas

every year.

Nevermind, maybe I don't like it.

Sixties?

That's when my mom was born.

MMM! I see colors much more clearly.

That was disgusting.

I'll try with the fruit.

Mmm, Its not the best with the fruit.

Disgusting, old candy.

Creamy, yellow goodness.

That's what it reminds me of.

It's really good.

It's like cheesecake and chocolate and M&Ms and peppermints.

Awesome, amazing and delicious!

After cheesecake, Cheesemas Eve

It's better than everything else I've tasted.
