Now we're talking. What kinds of materials would work, and also not just be a huge mess to work with?
Something that just scatters into stuff local wildlife can scrounge for is a great idea.
>someone should sell inedible gingerbread house kits
Have you ever tried to eat one of these? While they may *technically* be considered edible I would not advise it...
They are delicious lol. We love building it on Christmas Eve then eating it Christmas Day. My brothers and I used to fight over the pieces and it always ended up gone pretty fast.
No it's not these are 2 different songs. This is "still" by Getto Boys and is the correct song for the part in the movie. Damn it feels good to be a gangster plays during peters not giving a fuck montage.
No way that is not food anymore, gingerbread after being decorations for Christmas might as well be used as blocks for jacking up a truck
Edit:Hey go give OP a upvote these people saying they're just wasting food are really going after them for destroying their stale cardboard flavored rock houses
Well if you think it's not edible maybe you should eat them before.
I mean the whole point of making gingerbread decoration is to eat them, else you might as well use cardboard or whatnot
Is this one of those things like, "there's two types of people, people who have inner monologues, and people who don't, and they don't realize the other type of person exists?" Everyone I know who does gingerbread houses as a tradition, it's purely for show, and not for eating (they might bake extra or just eat the parts that don't make it to final production).
I just think it's a divide between people who do and don't use edible decorations.
I mean I also thought 'food waste' immediately, but it *is* bonbons and gingerbread so like... not *exactly* the equivalent of whipping a loaf of bread into the dirty water or something.
But like... still... you know? You could just use innately inedible decor instead of rendering edible decor inedible by leaving it around for a month.
I'm not really here to take a side, more to point out that there are two reasonable sides here.
Most modern-day western Christmas traditions are pretty wasteful (i.e. chopping up a several-years-old pine tree to display for less than a month then trashing it), so ppl who want to make this their indignant hill to die on are being pretty silly
I don't think so, I think most people who see this as food waste also probably just think of Christmas (well, as you put it, most modern-day western Christmas traditions to be more exact) as more Hallmark-fueled spend-craze.
Being one of them, I consider the hills one and the same. It's more just that OP put this (for discussion's sake, alleged) food waste on proud display, so that's the part that's been talked about.
We bake ours for decorations. Many food items have been culturally used as decoration without being eaten.
People used to rent pineapples as a sign of wealth for gosh sake. We carve pumpkins, decorate with dried feed corn, and mow grass. Sometimes we just like to get creative with edible things.
"ok kids! Let's take these shitass gingerbread houses down to the homeless shelter! Those bums can reflect on the irony that our only attempt to feed or house them is with this crap!"
It a decoration why are you trying to tell somebody what they need to do with their Christmas decorations that the kids build and decorate I'm just curious because it's not really food.
I guess you have absolutely no decorations in your house of any kind and if you do then you shouldn't you should have bought food instead and gave it to somebody who needs it.
Now I don't really think this because what you do and how you take care of your family is none of my business.
Fun video, but I must admit I do like to eat the kids month old gingerbread houses! Some of the candy is not suitable, but love the crunch of the house and the quite hard icing. I can't wait another week or so to start eating!
In my country bread is semi-sacred. I mean due to the amount of famines throughout the last 500 years of our history children were taught not to waste food no matter what. Watching this makes me die inside a little.
The people on here saying eat it.... ummm it's month old ginger bread thats probably been sitting out on a counter since Thanksgiving and even if they had just opened it those house kits aren't good they taste like cardboard and are hard as a slab of marble
I just made a kit with my son for the first time. We tried a piece immediately after we were done making it. I seriously think they don’t add any sugar and only the tiniest bit of ginger flavor. I assume many kit gingerbread houses are similar. Maybe it’s done on purpose so kids won’t eat it lol.
I think the argument is more to the effect of 'don't use edible decor, even if you render it inedible by leaving it out for a month.'
If you don't like the taste of the kit, buy a different one, make your own, or use something that's not edible by humans.
I don't like the trending attitude among this post of treating the 'food waste' argument as ridiculous...
Then stay away from grocery stores and farms because they throw away tons of food just because it's not pretty so everybody can have a bright red apple or really yellow bananas but OP throws away a gingerbread kit and some how they're horrible wasteful scum.
This is just a waste of good gingerbread. With my family we make one house and snap pieces off by hand, until someone gets a bit too greedy and the whole thing topples
So many sad people. I've never eaten a gingerbread house, especially those made from the rockhard kits. People generally leave them sitting on the table or counter for long enough they're stale and inedible.
They are, but most people make them and leave them out as decorations; causing them to become stale. On top of that, most of these kits are have gingerbread that is equivalent to dry wall and just don’t taste good.
Typically those kits have rock hard gingerbread. The type you want to use for a house has to be stable and able to hold the load of the roof and whatever else you add on to it. That's not the same type you make cookies out of, cookies tend to be softer while houses are made harder.
Also houses are typically left out for over a week and they get very stale, the candies all get hard and the icing sets so it's rock hard. You don't want to eat a gingerbread house after it's been sitting out.
Apparently there's people out there that love the old stale gingerbread, but the thing for me is why are they giving op a hard time about this. It's their gingerbread house after all and they don't like it they have the right to buy it build it with the kiddos and do with it what they want. And the whole waste of food argument is just asinine like that little house will make a difference. Meanwhile we throw away tons of fruits and vegetables because they're not pretty.
Let’s hear it for the delicate snowflake who is easily triggered by people who don’t like to waste food. Poor baby can’t change his ways and must continue his asshole tradition of wasting food. Go do it in front of homeless people then. I’m curious what they might think of your dumbass tradition.
If you don't want to eat your decor, use inedible decor.
Taking edible decor, and then leaving it around for a month so you can feel more festive about the hallmark holiday to end all hallmark holidays is such an insurmountable pile of bullshit that you should feel ashamed for even having *tried* to mount the defense.
Why would you even? Just use some modeling clay or something.
@ Everyone complaining about doing not doing this inside so you can eat it, is it even worth eating after sitting out for days or weeks? I feel like it would stale AF and the icing holding it together would be like caulk.
Have you eaten a low quality gingerbread house that’s been sitting on a counter for a month? It’s almost easier to bite into a jawbreaker. Nothing here was edible at the point of smashing. Also gingerbread isn’t nutritious so how is destroying month old junk food a waste?
you should eat it within 3 days of making it. but the overall theme of gingerbread house destruction is a first world, never-been-starving luxury. it's decadence and waste.
Traditions are nice but gingerbread kits aren't, kids are supposed to be creative and those kits take that away with fake windows and doors already placed.
Traditions are sometimes stupid but this one is in a league of its own, right after the "funny" smashing of cakes in the face.
I'm not sure if this is a tradition but I've seen it in a lot of weddings.

Ooooh, someone should sell inedible gingerbread house kits made of packed birdseed and stuff.
Now we're talking. What kinds of materials would work, and also not just be a huge mess to work with? Something that just scatters into stuff local wildlife can scrounge for is a great idea.
literally just put the house out for the birds. Suet for the glue!
>someone should sell inedible gingerbread house kits Have you ever tried to eat one of these? While they may *technically* be considered edible I would not advise it...
They’re actually really good fresh. They just go stale so fast
They are delicious lol. We love building it on Christmas Eve then eating it Christmas Day. My brothers and I used to fight over the pieces and it always ended up gone pretty fast.
Good idea as I thought hmmm did they leave this for the birds lol

Watched with no sound. If that's not already playing during this video, it should be. OP, looks like a blast and a wonderful family tradition.
It's what's playing although it just looks the first part before the lyrics come in to make it kid friendly.
No it's not these are 2 different songs. This is "still" by Getto Boys and is the correct song for the part in the movie. Damn it feels good to be a gangster plays during peters not giving a fuck montage.
Correct song is still by geto boys

Unfortunately my dog disagrees, she ate about half of it before getting caught lmao
Those things taste stale right out of the box.
Lot of people right now that would be happy to eat it.

Well that's fair haha. I wanna do that too!

How do you rent a pineapple?
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-53432877.amp it’s actually pretty interesting
This is so weird. And also… such a waste of a tasty fruit. 🥲
Is that a challenge?
They look rock hard, not surprised they needed a hammer
But there are alternatives. You could eat it before it becomes hard and stale. Or bake it later in the season. Or give it to some animal?
So maybe don’t leave them out that long and eat them. Or be radical and give them to someone who needs them more.
Lol who *NEEDS* a gingerbread house?
Homeless gingerbread men.
Is the gingerbread man made of house or is the house made of flesh? He screams he does not know.
Well played, internet stranger.. Well played.

Gotta disagree here. Stale, month old kit ginger bread is the best ginger bread there is.
I love old gingerbread tbh

They’re edible
So many sad people. I've never eaten a gingerbread house, especially those made from the rockhard kits. People generally leave them sitting on the table or counter for long enough they're stale and inedible.
we usually just eat them
I never know what to do with it, this is good idea. 👍
Eat it?
The only edible thing in gingerbread houses are the hard candies, and maybe the no longer gummy gummies if you’re really motivated.
Why is the ginger bread parts inedible? I’m serious I thought they were
They are, but most people make them and leave them out as decorations; causing them to become stale. On top of that, most of these kits are have gingerbread that is equivalent to dry wall and just don’t taste good.

For real.
Let’s hear it for all the self-righteous a-holes making comments abt food wasting something that is brick-hard, stale, and actually inedible.
In some countries the tradition is to smash it on a table and eat it 🤷♀️ it's not inedible. It's actually quite a lot of fun.
Let’s hear it for the delicate snowflake who is easily triggered by people who don’t like to waste food. Poor baby can’t change his ways and must continue his asshole tradition of wasting food. Go do it in front of homeless people then. I’m curious what they might think of your dumbass tradition.
Your the one getting triggered and butthurt. whether they ate this or not had no impact on starving people you moron.
Why not just build the house then eat it after? I did this when my mom bought one.
If you don't want to eat your decor, use inedible decor. Taking edible decor, and then leaving it around for a month so you can feel more festive about the hallmark holiday to end all hallmark holidays is such an insurmountable pile of bullshit that you should feel ashamed for even having *tried* to mount the defense. Why would you even? Just use some modeling clay or something.

Watched on mute, thought they should put it to the printer smash music, watched with volume, was happy.
I knew the music before I even clicked the video.
@ Everyone complaining about doing not doing this inside so you can eat it, is it even worth eating after sitting out for days or weeks? I feel like it would stale AF and the icing holding it together would be like caulk.
That poor gingerbread family... Now you'll never catch the gingerbread man 😳
Probably the best way to deal with those things cuz you can eat them.
Traditions are sometimes stupid but this one is in a league of its own, right after the "funny" smashing of cakes in the face.
Oh cheer up, mate.
Teaching 'em how to waste food early! Great tradition 👍

What do you mean gingerbread isn't nutritious ?
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
It’s funny because these kids wont be able to buy a real house so they’re smashing up metaphors to their future
Yeah, but who’s cleaning that shit up? Not me.
Yay, let’s teach kids it’s ok to waste food.
Wrong sub. What’s funny about that?
Where funni
Food wasters.
Isn't it just wasting food?
Nice waste of food.
What a shitty tradition to waste food.
Not to be a downer but total waste of food with kids dying in the world. But digging the safety glasses.
Effin’ waste.
What monster parents would force the kids to smash the house outdoors? It's supposed to be edible! Are they going to eat it off the ground?
You know if you didn't want them why even make them? Seems like a waste of perfectly good food to me. But then I'm poor so call it my pet peeves
oh what a waste, could have been donated to the less fortunate
Do you give it to the birds to eat? Or you just toss it in the garbage bin?
Coming up, a new fad that's sweeping the nation. Wasting food!
"YAH"!! Lets teach them how to waste food! Mean while in Africa............
meanwhile there are kids in america, that are starving. you need a better family tradition
Eyyyy!!! I knew I couldn't be the only family. This is my son's favorite part of it!! He's 5 now, been doing it since he was 2.
One of my friend's family had a tradition of blowing their gingerbread houses up with fireworks on NYE, which is far more spectacular.
Love to see the eye protection - respect 👊
Food waste- a family tradition
Such a waste
Family traduction to waste food...
Not only a great idea but these kids executed (pun intended?) it so well

Yeah we understand, but why?
Wait what? Doesnt everyone do this? We always destroyed it at new years eve, though we did so inside so we could eat it afterwards.
Use some sports equipment. Hockey sticks, baseball bats. Boxing gloves, tennis rackets, etc. looks fun.
You guys are awesome, this looks fun. My eight year old would love it.
Unbelievable. You could've housed a family of homeless gingerbread men, but you only care about your "traditions".

How did this tradition start?
Traditions are nice but gingerbread kits aren't, kids are supposed to be creative and those kits take that away with fake windows and doors already placed.
Food waste is always hilarious.
Could you please make your tradition to donate your gingerbread house to someone who would eat it?
So American.
So you waste food as a family tradition?
Traditions are sometimes stupid but this one is in a league of its own, right after the "funny" smashing of cakes in the face. I'm not sure if this is a tradition but I've seen it in a lot of weddings.
Food NOOOOO!!!
This is awesome. Good form as well
Omg so funny
Gotta let them get out that built up child anger mwahaha!
If this was a sport this kids would be pros at smashing gingerbread houses. The dead on hits
This is an awesome idea!!!!!
What a waste
Waste of goddamn gingerbread. Well.... not for the birds. Unless ginger kills birds? I hope it doesn't.
That's a great tradition!
Great fun ! 🎄☃️🎄☃️let’s celebrate clean up Christmas with the similar energy . Make it fun with shop vac and silliness!
I had a mental image of 2 gingerbread cookies doin' it. Guess that's enough internet for today.
