Man, Jan's hair is rad.

Even more radder than the audio for every Ben's Lens.

Chicory is a bitter type of leaf similar to lettuce. It tastes kind of bad but it has it’s uses, it sounds weird in coffee though.

I've been making chai milk tea every other morning, and this seems like something I can get into. I'm so tempted to buy a Vietnamese coffee filter and coffee now. Thanks Jan and Ben!

I love how everyone says "Ben's Lens Program" when Ben's filming.

Ben's Lens is great, I really enjoy this feel-good and laidback vibe it has.

JAN, PLEASE REFRIGERATE YOUR CONDENSED MILK MY DUDE. It won't develop visible mold like cheese or sour cream, because the super high sugar content, but my guy, it's still liquid milk. As it's canned, it will fine shelved for a long time when it's unopened but that shit is just a breeding ground for bacteria once it hits open air.

Would you eat a yogurt you left out overnight?
