John just wants to reheat his mashed taters… but first he has to find the microscopic “microwave safe” symbol on this fast-food container.
He’s turning it like it’s a secret puzzle box from National Treasure. 😅👴🔥
Would you trust it?

John’s first trip to a BIN STORE 🧺 — Where Ya Bin in Clive, IA!
Daily-changing prices. Mystery items.

🎯 Will he walk away with a bargain… or a bucket of junk?

🗣️ Ever combed through a bin store? What did you score (or regret)?

He just hopes the ziti doesn’t come with plot twists.

After trying Dolly Parton’s frozen pot roast… we HAD to make the real Crockpot version to see how it’s supposed to taste. 😅

John got an alert on the Sonic app — the Pretzel Bacon Double Smasher that failed a few weeks ago was half price, so he’s giving Sonic a second chance. 🥨🍔

Will they get it right this time, or is it another burger bust?

Part 2… and this one takes a turn! 👀🦃🔥
John brought the Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Gobbler home, added what it was missing, and let’s just say — it didn’t taste like the same sandwich anymore. 😏

What did he add? You’ll have to watch!
