    The many times I've sliced the mold off some cheese and ate the rest never bothered me. Now the whole bread thing. I… I need a microscope in the kitchen. Bloody hell.

    Just how old is that bread? I’ve seen that same loaf in like 3 other videos before this one.

    This was informative. I’ve never looked up mold related stuff but when this popped up in my recommended and it was you I knew to click. Great Vid!!!!

    Is anyone else utterly terrified of mold? To the point of jerking away uncontrollably when it catches you by surprise? Even in a video?
    I watched all this. Except when my hand flew in front of the screen when mold was on it. I'll probably have moldy nightmares tonight.
