I Only Ate What I Could WIN From Claw Machines

Video summary

Press to jump

0:46Pierson enters Asobi Town, where a displayed Guinness certificate recognizes its collection of claw machines.
2:08Fresh pineapple is the first food target, but repeated attempts leave breakfast unresolved.
5:03The donut-box challenge begins, with arcade staff eventually helping reposition the prize.
9:51Pierson switches from food to entertainment, targeting a Tom and Jerry skateboard.
12:20An inflatable chair and a Spider-Man pillow become possible supplies for an arcade nap.
19:56The final tally reveals the day's total attempts and spending.

Laundry detergent comes before breakfast. That is the problem with letting claw machines decide what you get to eat, as Pierson discovers at Japan's Asobi Town arcade.

In "I Only Ate What I Could WIN From Claw Machines", she sets herself a simple rule: food has to come out of a machine. An early attempt at fresh pineapple goes nowhere. Household supplies prove more attainable, but they are not much help with hunger.

The eventual breakfast is a large box of mini donuts, secured after repeated attempts and help from staff repositioning the prize. Pierson puts their effective price at $60. "Now that's just embarrassing," she says.

The upload reached about 86,000 views in eight hours, a much faster start than her regular videos usually get. It also takes her resourcefulness somewhere different from the homemade costumes featured in her earlier uploads: here, even a nap requires finding suitable supplies.

Food is only part of the arcade shopping list. She wins a Tom and Jerry skateboard and rides it outside, then later settles down with a Spider-Man pillow. Canned coffee turns out to be dramatically easier to acquire than breakfast.

Viewers are talking about the patience required and their own difficulties winning anything from these machines. Pierson has a retail comparison of her own: "This whole place is like Costco, but like, gamified."
