Reese's Peanut-Butter-Ectomy with Oreo Cream Transplant
February 3, 2016 8:57 PM Subscribe
The Food Surgeon 4 minutes and 33 seconds of exactly what the title says. Do not try this at home without a medical degree and sterile conditions.
4m33s of visceral disgust-attraction. Thank you.

this is barbarism. civil war–era techniques of food surgery. i'm almost surprised they didn't take the peanut butter out with leeches.

It shouldn't have felt painful when the knife started scraping the peanut butter away, but it did. I was instinctively worrying about whether the Reese's cup had been properly anesthetized.

I was going to ask why they didn't suture the cut back together, but my question was horrifyingly answered when they ate the patient.

Reminds me of Teddy Has An Operation. Although that has creepy narration.
Even without any real sound at all in this video, can't you just feel the German accent?

Why didn't they do the operation through the back of the Reese's? The chocolate is often thinner back there, plus it would leave less of a visible scar.

I was really surprised by how indignant I was when they started to put the donor material in without completely cleaning out the undesired peanut butter that was left within the cavity.
And yeah, seconding "why didn't they suture it or melt it or something".
Beautiful and unpleasant, though.

Reese's are rimmed with a thickened chocolate wall. It's easier to see where that wall ends and the filling begins if you view from the top.

Exactly. That's the sloppiest peanutbutterectomy I've ever seen. One of those tiny vacuum cleaners the ENTs have would have done a much tidier job.
Also, eating the patient before the assistant surgeon had even had a chance to close? No. Just no.
Needs more electrocautery.

Nobody mentions the Oreo transplant required TWO Oreo patients to donate to one Reese's? there was some organ harvesting occurring off camera to have that second one all ready - unless of course it was from a cadaver already, but then - there was no evidence that the second Oreo had the same cream type... I mean... you want to talk about barbarism, that's a quick way to kill all your patients.
But in seriousness, I hope that this was a college kid including this in his application to med school, because - that'd be an awesome piece in your portfolio.

I'm gonna do this, but I'm gonna go through the back and I'm gonna do a better job purging the peanut butter.
Then I'm going to immaculately replace them in their packaging, and leave them in the fridge for Mrs. Stick to find. :)

Wow. Very sloppy surgery, not even using surgical tools. There are proper curettes for scraping etc. that would do a much neater job than that standard X-acto blade. And there is no effort made to approximate edges--very untidy finish.
Also, on close-up those food products look neither appealing nor even edible.
Came for precision food manipulation, am disappoint.

So you used your $165,000 medical degree to transplant the extruded sugar glob from a garbage cookie into the inedible waxy shit-chocolate from a garbage candy. Your mother and I, we're so proud.

I will echo the sentiment are: the right tool for the job. If you're going to produce a faux surgery YouTube series the least you can do is get your hands on some legitimate surgical implements.

Actually they just disconnect the old kidney and leave it inside you when you get a kidney transplant.

I just learned this too, from a friend who had a transplant. Also, they put the new kidney in the front of your abdomen! Easy to get to plus there's room there.
