The spaghetti bucket is an original. The spaghetti, HopeScope has to make herself.
For "I Made DISCONTINUED Fast Food from our Childhood", Hope tracks down old packaging and collectibles, then tries to put their missing meals back inside. That means Little Caesars marinara in an authentic bucket bought on eBay, a Shrek shake in its promotional cup and a homemade McLobster in its old box.
"Because nothing truly dies, it just ends up for sale on eBay," she says. The upload has drawn about 655,000 views in its first twenty-four hours, bringing her discontinued-products series back with a kitchen full of experiments.
She isn't cooking entirely from scratch. McDonald's cones and milk become the base for the Minty Mudbath Shake; Taco Bell supplies separate toppings, sauces and cheese for her Volcano Taco reconstruction. For McDonald's Onion Nuggets, she batters and fries slivered onions using a recipe from Okay Cooks. Her verdict: the appeal of an onion ring, without the awkward eating.
McPizza gets a more demanding test. Working from a corporate recipe sheet shown on screen, Hope attempts a sixteen-minute preparation challenge, only to get distracted tasting the tomato-and-A.1. sauce. She then checks the baked pizza against the original quality standards. It's decent, she decides, but not something she needs restored to the menu.
The smaller design ideas are just as entertaining: a salad made to be shaken in its cup, and Dunkin's Q-shaped doughnut with a little handle for dipping. Burger King's Cini Minis get a warm reception after she recreates them with cinnamon sugar and refrigerated dough.
Viewers are contributing their own menu memories, including a recollection of McPizza as an affordable teenage treat. Hope finishes with a more hands-on comparison: extracting the filling from McDonald's baked apple pies, enclosing it in fresh crust and frying it. Her homemade version goes straight to the top of her taste-test rankings.
