I Rated Microwave Burgers Out Of 5 | Ashens

Ashens ate five microwave burgers so that nobody else has to. "I Rated Microwave Burgers Out Of 5" is his one upload of the week, and the tags give away the lineup: Rustlers, Quicksters, Feasters, Speedfeast, plus own-brand offerings from Lidl and Aldi. The description pitches it to anyone who needs a burger in an extreme hurry and does not much care how it tastes or feels in the mouth, which is about as honest a sales pitch as convenience food has ever had.

It is classic territory for Stuart Ashen, who has spent well over a decade working through cheap tat, knock-off gadgets and questionable food so his viewers can watch from a safe distance. The burgers found their audience fast, passing 200,000 views inside a day and a half, far beyond anything else on the channel right now.

Behind them sits the lightgun pair. "Modern Lightguns Are Weird", ten days old, is still ticking along. It follows the plastic peripherals into the flatscreen era, from Guncon 3 and the Sinden to the Wii-era shooting add-ons, with a nostalgic eye on Point Blank. Its August companion, "I Miss Retro Lightguns", covered the Zappers and Light Phasers of the CRT years.

Across the whole channel, daily views ran a little below their usual level. Among the product-testing channels near its size, Lana Rae is running above her normal pace, while RachhLoves is having a quieter stretch.
