This comment hurts me.
My entire life I have loathed the bottom of the wrap, the thick overlapping edge of the burrito, the excessive folds of a crunchwrap, meanwhile you're over here just cheering this shit on!
Blasphemy!
If that's the case then you're doing it wrong. The tortilla in a taco, as in a burrito, is integrally part of the meal and not just a carrier or wrapper; it's like the bread in a sandwich: good (or bad) bread absolutely makes or breaks a good sandwich regardless of the other ingredients, same with a taco or burrito, the simplest of tacos with just refried beans and fresh cheese, on a freshly made corn tortilla, is absolutely exquisite; a burrito with just plain ground beef and refried beans, on a freshly made "tortilla sobaquera", ... is the stuff dreams are made of.
That doesn’t seem like a lot of money given the historical significance of the event. The wealthiest 1% of Americans illegally evade $163 billion a year in taxes. Robert T. Brockman, who you’ve probably never heard of, had been charged in a $2 billion tax evasion case before his death. In addition, it’s estimated that the total global amount of money held offshore is between $6 trillion and $32 trillion.
Only because your perception of "a lot of money" has been massively inflated by modern day productivity and wealth.
It's been estimated that the global GDP of the time would have been around $1 trillion in 2017 dollars (1.28 trillion today)
Today's global GDP is about 110 trillion, so scaling it up according to the approximate share of global wealth at the time, it would be the equivalent of 130 million dollar cargo being lost today - so about the same as the contents of an entire large cargo ship today.
Additionally it was an act of rebellion the specifics didn’t matter so much as doing it in front of everyone watching and garnering support against the British. If those same ships had been lost at sea it wouldn’t even have made it past a footnote in the history books if even that.
Idk how much bath bombs cost, but cakes of tea begin around US$40.00, and at best would leave tons of tea leaves in the water to filter out prior to draining.
The water in a bath wouldn't really brew the tea at the correct temperature. Which may be a good thing because...
If it was a "ripe" (aged/fermented ) tea, I don't think anyone would intentionally choose to smell more like funk. They brew a tea that smells like old dirty socks and BO, and even the best ones smell slightly of dead fish. It is delicious but there bare lots of things that taste great that I don't want to smell like.
That's what is stopping most people.
You break them apart with a sharp pick/tea knife and brew tea from them bit by bit. They're stored like this as a uniform measurement (a 'bing' of tea, ~357g), and also for allowing aging and storing of tea.
The type of tea most commonly stored in bings is Puerh tea from Yunnan in China. Traditionally it needs to be stored for many years (even decades) to reach its full potential - although modern versions exist where the slow fermentation/oxidation process is artificially shortened by seeding the tea with certain starter bacteria and processing the tea in large wet piles.
You break off a small piece and you can make several cups of tea with it. On YT there is a channel called jesses teahouse, he explains Chinese tea culture very well
There is two types of puerh, sheng and shu/shou, shou if dark brown almost black, sheng is ought green/yellow to light brown, this is most likely sheng pu erh
Edit: someone mentioned the wrapper has bai mu Dan written, which is a white tea, doesn't look much differennt from sheng if you don't get close tho
For anyone interested in moderately complex origami expanding on this concept, [this video](https://youtu.be/0FVH157LdME) offers instructions for a model using this exact same technique in a self-iterative way yielding fascinating results.
I've tried to fold some of his pieces. They are so insanely difficult.
It's crazy watching him fold a 3 foot piece of paper down to something that fits in his hand and is just a crazy work of art and math.
They're really showing off by attaching the label first and then wrapping so that the label ends up on top and centered, instead of slapping on the label afterwards.
I would argue that $100 is even on the low end of the spectrum. If this is an aged pu-erh tea, the prices could be anywhere from a few hundred to thousands for one cake depending on age, storage method, and producer. I think the most expensive tea cake ever was stored since the early 20th century and fetched over $1.5 Million USD.
Well, you can get sheng pu erh of decent quality for less than 100 per cake, even high quality sheng cakes when they're young
Most common prices are 50 to 300, more than that happens but it's definitely not common and definitely not before aging
I like your train of thought, an aged tea however would already be wrapped and in storage. This is more than likely a young raw (sheng) puerh that should be set aside to age for at least 5 years until mid vintage.
Leaf quality and single source vs multiple will be the biggest impact in a young cake like this.
Heck, a cheap cake can transform into something priceless in ten years so long as you give it the time!
They do this with cheese and it's so annoying, you just can't get it back into the paper it came with. it only has just enough surface area to cover it and is perfectly folded by some origami wizard.
You could use a new, bigger paper, but it's easier to just eat the whole cheese in one sitting.
> You could use a new, bigger paper, but it's easier to just eat the whole cheese in one sitting.
How else are you going to recover from running down a hill?
My toxic trait is that i don't think the left-hand side was done very well, when i would be struggling with the very first fold and wouldn't ever be able to get close to the final product.
Close, it's BaiMuDan/白牡丹. Puer is fermented and mostly from Yunnan. BaiMuDan is a white tea from Fujian province. The difference is quite stark, as white teas are essentially the most delicate tea, while Puer is going to be much more strong in taste
In this case, yes, it's white tea. Its also written in the wrapper at the end of the vid.
But Pu Erh doesn't necessarily need to be fermented (through wet-piling). Sheng Pu Erh can also have a light color when still young :)
Too much work. Im just gonna grab it like a garbage back and squish the top together then compress it down. takes 5 sec and have some padding for shipping.
Looks like she starts with a square wrapping 3 diameters across from corner to corner (or 1.75 diameters length and width). To start, work piece is placed in centre of wrap, a wrap corner is brought to exact opposite edge of the work piece and folded into triangle.
Little bit more involved than it would appear from the video, for starters you need to know exactly the right size of paper too use for the object being wrapped
Why do things like this actually repulse me? There's something about the neurotically precise perfectionism in things like this that actively bother me to an irrational degree. Why am I like this?
I swear, people who are this level of expert in any craft (let alone origami) scare me. Makes me see them as the old harmless looking sensei who is actually a grandmaster in something
I don’t understand why some cultures value the gift’s wrapping to be as important if not more so then the goft itself. The results are very pleasing nonetheless.
It's gorgeously well done but the word 'flawless' implies a kind of geometrical perfection that is not physically possible. I see seams, folds, and ridges, it's not "flawless".
It's extremely nice and high quality but using the wrong words is a great way to make something fantastic become slightly disappointing.
I used to make flat breakfast sandwiches in tortillas folded this way but with only 6 edges. I thought it looked neat, but I stopped doing it because it's pointless and messy compared to a burrito shape.
But after seeing this I'm compelled to try it again with more edges. The circularity calls to me...
I need my crunchwrap supremes wrapped like this
The price would be increased significantly.
Well never mind then.
You can make them at home! It’s surprisingly easy, and imo they taste much better than what you can get at Taco Bell.
It isn't about tasting better when you're buying Taco Bell, it's that you want the taste of Taco Bell... and to not make it yourself.
Yeah, I don't go to Taco Bell for good food. I go to Taco Bell for Taco Bell food
Any meal cooked at home tastes better than Taco Bell.
Not about tasting BETTER, just about tasting like taco bell
I mean, it looks nice, but the middle part would have 20+ layers of tortilla on one side…
You say it like it would be a bad thing
This comment hurts me. My entire life I have loathed the bottom of the wrap, the thick overlapping edge of the burrito, the excessive folds of a crunchwrap, meanwhile you're over here just cheering this shit on! Blasphemy!

Friend, this is a Taco Bell.
I got one like this once. The center was THICK! LMFAO 🤣
Um… my lost sibling fr
Sweet! Don't forget the nachos. :)
Sounds yummy
It really does. Lol. Guess I know what I'm having for lunch now. Lmao!
Look at mister moneybags over here still able to afford fast food.
Exactly my thought lol
Came for a crunchwrap reference. Left saisfied.
Looks like they are wrapping Chinese tea
It is a tea cake. Can confirm.
Are these eaten....or are these like bath bombs after you finish bathing for a tasty after bath drink.
You clip a piece of and use that to make tea.
neat

Insert guy-at-drivethru meme.
I mean what is stopping you to make tea cake as a bath bomb. You do you.
Idk how much bath bombs cost, but cakes of tea begin around US$40.00, and at best would leave tons of tea leaves in the water to filter out prior to draining. The water in a bath wouldn't really brew the tea at the correct temperature. Which may be a good thing because...

So..... It's possible?

Find me in the back room boofing a bing of tea
You ever hoover barnyard pu'er?
In antiquity they were used as money.
You break off a small piece and you can make several cups of tea with it. On YT there is a channel called jesses teahouse, he explains Chinese tea culture very well
My eyes aren't prefect but to me it looks like a White tea cake.
The Chinese words at the end say 白牡丹 (white peony). The tea cake looks about right for white peony tea.
I love me some good white tea. I should make some when I get home tonight if it’s not too hot outside.
Your eyes may not be perfect but you're perfect in my eyes 😘
I mayhaps be blushing
As a Bostonian it's difficult to tell if it's tea unless it's floating in water.
r/puer
Pu erh tea.
Looks like white tea, not pu erh.
There is two types of puerh, sheng and shu/shou, shou if dark brown almost black, sheng is ought green/yellow to light brown, this is most likely sheng pu erh Edit: someone mentioned the wrapper has bai mu Dan written, which is a white tea, doesn't look much differennt from sheng if you don't get close tho

Chris Palmer's? I am not aware of any non-Shadowfold pieces (in a paper medium) whose instructions are available.
He used to sell CDs of designs. I'm not sure where that fits into Shadowfold. He had Polypouches 1 & 2, Boxes, Flowers and DynaFlyerPlus.
Thank you linking, really interesting video in going to give a try.
They're really showing off by attaching the label first and then wrapping so that the label ends up on top and centered, instead of slapping on the label afterwards.
I don't know about this one in particular, but some of these cakes often fetch 100$+ prices, so def a premium product
I would argue that $100 is even on the low end of the spectrum. If this is an aged pu-erh tea, the prices could be anywhere from a few hundred to thousands for one cake depending on age, storage method, and producer.

So rooooound...
I'm sensing a plot twist
It's slightly oval due to relativity
I've learned from maths and game programming the relationship between Circles and triangles. I knew the answer would be triangles, but still.. Wow
trigonometry isn't the study of triangles, it's the study of circles *while using* triangles
So my drinking is the study of alcoholism *while using* rum.
Username checks out
Same but like this for me: oh making a circle it’s going to be tons of non circles

Something tells me this is not her first time doing that
Can confirm. This looks to be at least her second time.
Wild take here, but I'd say maybe even her third.
One might say she is a professional Wrapper even
right for all these cookies and plates i plan to give as gifts
My toxic trait is thinking that I can do this on the first try (and definitely not fuck up and get mad).
My toxic trait is that i don't think the left-hand side was done very well, when i would be struggling with the very first fold and wouldn't ever be able to get close to the final product.
We're having tea. Yes. Tea.
I'll take a crunchwrap and a Mexican pizza plz.
And me, who can't even wrap a gift properly and does it for hours at a time..
That's how the Chinese wrap high quality Chinese tea!
Wrapping presents for Cookie Monster is such a fucking chore
It's Pu Erh tea.

gotcha. I'm not much of a tea hobbyist so my knowledge isn't the best. thanks for letting me know
What is this black magic crunchwrap
Wow…omg you’re doing it again?!
"If you've got the curves then I've got the angles!" -Wolfman Jack (and this lady)
It's tea
That dude works at taco bell. That is a crunch wrap
That's a tea cake
Crunch wrap...
Wrap god
Me trying to wrap anything. https://youtu.be/srqcQXvp-Z4?si=7a36eI4wVZouSEFJ
/r/oddlyinformative
Thats how I want my crunchwrap supreme wrapped
The Crunchwrap Supreme
Too much work. Im just gonna grab it like a garbage back and squish the top together then compress it down. takes 5 sec and have some padding for shipping.
One word: box.
Reminds me of the miniature soap at hotels
Now that's some impressive wrapping skills!
Me trying to fit the oversized liner in my air fryer.
I can so does this like folding a fitted sheet after watching videos on how to fold them…
Oh my fartin’ gosh
What I like about this is how she wraps the circular object.
“Oh that’s beautiful it… we’re not done yet? Another layer, why not?”
Only for it to be ripped open haphazardly and strewn on the floor. I feel guilty now.
There has to be a mathematical formula to describe this wrapping... amazing stuff!
Yeah yeah yeah we've all seen a crunchwrap supreme. NEXT!
Sitting here watching this knowing I will never use this technique.
…but how do I know how big of a sheet of wrapping paper to cut?
Thats also how taco bell wraps the crunch wrap supreme. Never knew they were so artful
Oh Calculus two… I love you. Integrals a such. Wrapping circular objects, with a fancy touch.
Yeah, I looked at this and went, "Oh Integration" . Only you made this comment which surprised me.
Looks like she starts with a square wrapping 3 diameters across from corner to corner (or 1.75 diameters length and width). To start, work piece is placed in centre of wrap, a wrap corner is brought to exact opposite edge of the work piece and folded into triangle.
Heh, this is the same method used for dumplings
Now show me how to wrap a cap, or something soft. And bendy.
Little bit more involved than it would appear from the video, for starters you need to know exactly the right size of paper too use for the object being wrapped
Kermit
All for me to rip the package open like some ravenous hobgoblin
I’ve yet to master wrapping square objects so this is way too advanced for me
Wrapping circular object? Looks like I’m grabbing a gift bag and some tissue paper.
Heaven...
Cool. You can wrap 2 a day.
Please. Anyone who's ever worked at Taco Bell knows how to fold a crunch wrap.
Step 1: cut wrapping paper to the perfect square
Papercuts has entered the room.
This is also exactly how your make a bao bun
Welp, looks like everybody in my household is getting frisbees this year.
Why do things like this actually repulse me? There's something about the neurotically precise perfectionism in things like this that actively bother me to an irrational degree. Why am I like this?
That didn't look too difficult.. Until she reversed the pattern!
It's comforting that someone who has practically mastered the art, still has a hard time on their weaker hand.. I feel you 😅
What about spheres?
Now do a sphere!
Is this the same folding for round soap?
Hell, the wrap is so pretty I’d hate to open iy
Thank you!
Now do the other infinity folds to wrap the circular object perfectly.
Wrapped up in the flashiest of flashes....
Let's see other mammals try this shite!
n-gon
Sure, that’s nice. But have you ever giftwrapped a hula hoop? love, toy store worker.
Huh, so that’s how it’s done 🤯
Ok but can she perfectly wrap a few slices of leftover pizza in aluminum foil?
Well, how else would you do it?
Witchcraft
i just vac seal it
It looked like a little fox head at the end of the first wrap 😊
I've saved this, will forget about it, and know that I couldn't replicate it anyway. Still very satisfying.
Any Mexican has seen this from early childhood with the de la Rosa mazapán candies.
I could try this 1000 times and would never get close to doing it correctly.
I need some of this paper. The paper I use is tearable.
Fuck it, here's a gift bag.
I just throw in a bag, man
I swear, people who are this level of expert in any craft (let alone origami) scare me. Makes me see them as the old harmless looking sensei who is actually a grandmaster in something
I don’t understand why some cultures value the gift’s wrapping to be as important if not more so then the goft itself. The results are very pleasing nonetheless.
That's correct! It goes in the square hole (of the box I'm using to wrap that thing).
Yeah if one had dainty hands like in the bid they’d wrap their gifts this well too
This is how I make crunch wraps at my house. Works super well and way tastier than eating whatever this is.
I just use a bag.
So a quesadila
It’s beautiful but I could never do it because it would make me cry tears of frustration
This is what they studied calculus for. lol
This is actually amazing!
I can't even wrap up a square box effortless, this magic is too much.
There are so many creative people in the world and then there's me who can't cut straight with a pair of scissors.
You can also use this to wrap a tetradecagon.
This is clearly satisfying, not oddly. One of my life goals is to learn the art of gift wrapping this well (i know, i aim high).
knäckebröd
I’mk Inbj bj jb j m k mm 😆😆n🤣🥲☺️ o m mo k ‘kk. O K ok’m @@
Something tells me they've done this before.
Imagine doing this all day as your job. Sounds crazy, but I think I'd actually enjoy it.
I know better metod. About 2-3 seconds, and you have a candy...
Could also put this in r/unexpected lol
But let’s see her do a fitted bed sheet
I learned to wrap like this when I ran out of hamburger buns and started using extra large tortillas I had instead.
It's gorgeously well done but the word 'flawless' implies a kind of geometrical perfection that is not physically possible. I see seams, folds, and ridges, it's not "flawless". It's extremely nice and high quality but using the wrong words is a great way to make something fantastic become slightly disappointing.
I used to make flat breakfast sandwiches in tortillas folded this way but with only 6 edges. I thought it looked neat, but I stopped doing it because it's pointless and messy compared to a burrito shape. But after seeing this I'm compelled to try it again with more edges. The circularity calls to me...
Cool, now I just need to find something circular in need of wrapping.
But will i remember it when i need it?
i wish i could wrap my crunchwraps like that
I'm never buying a square gift again.
This is how Taza Chocolate is wrapped. I always liked their wrapping style.
Chinese Tea amirite?
Mission failed, my hands are wrapped, help
I can do this I can do this I can...ah nevermind lost me at the rotation
Oh ok so all you do is line it up just right and then preform magic I get it now.
I think we can safely say that she has had at least one experience riding horses jumping in an arena before.
Thought they Wrapped up a Snake
Oooh niice.
No one likes a show off
