friendship foods

[GROZNAYA]

is there any food that does the opposite???

[sksaxgirl]

does this mean you are my strawberry cheesecake?

[hopeonatenspeed]

@sksaxgirl always.

[masterc422]

i want chicken xD

[calmdownitsshaina]

hahaha adorable!

[johiley]

I think I walked past that cupcake shop when I was in Belfast.

WHY DID I NOT GO IN?

[lirgonia]

legit, i'm hungry. ;)

[ckXcore]

I want to eat something really bizarre with you... like squid! Oh how I want to be your squid!

[BittenUsagi]

Your ethnomusicology class sounds so much better than mine.

Also, I am so down with nicknaming people after foods. Now I'm off to call my friend Pink Cake and another friend warm brownie.

[sepiasunrise]

One of my friends would be "Cheesy Pasta" because she loved it so much as a comfort food reminding her of childhood that we had it every time she was upset and then it just became a thing I have when I'm sad too because I associate it with her.

[karenlikesyou]

This is such a cute idea!! I am definitely forcing this on my loved ones. Starting now, I have friends that are nicknamed cookie dough, mexican candy, pierogi, and turtle mocha.

[Justtubed]

mmmm, I was THERE for that cake!

[Butterklumpenful]

You would be my stracciatella-ice cream. Because you make my stomach feel happy, just like ice cream. 

[amplization]

crap. I WANT TO BE A BIRD AND FLY!

[wedontuseguns]

What a horrible sister :(

[PHvlogger]

Guess my friend would be human.

#CreepyIsFun

[nedy17]

This made me so happy and jealous at the same time. <3

[JohnnyDurham19]

I'm going to start calling you my Turkish Delicatessen x

[hopeonatenspeed]

@JohnnyDurham19 this is my favorite so far <333

[UrufuAmetsuchi]

Haha, oh my, my friend just went around naming us after the foods our physical appearences remind her of! I'm a orange gummy bear~ It's so fun naming each other after foods and such =) Especially since we're all eternally hungry!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@UrufuAmetsuchi hahaha. this method could bring about some exceptionally unflattering nicknames.

[blingblingshineshine]

you are so cute!:)

[knallfroschmad]

i call my boyfriend little meatball  :)

[blingblingshineshine]

@knallfroschmad Aww :)

[Nykface]

How funny. My friends and I were talking about how food names are always associated with "fat" foods like cupcake, sugar, muffin, pudding... You get the picture. Someone said they wanted to be called, "Parsnip" . And veggie named human friends?

[rainbowumbrellaness]

I want to meet Paige so I can give her a biscuit and then I will be a biscuit :)

[hopeonatenspeed]

@rainbowumbrellaness i like this plan.

[jocelynallday]

nomnomnomnomnomnom

[KarmaVictim]

as always: absolutely adorable. eh, accidental alliteration. apologies.

[befffanie]

It's not CRAYFISH. It's CRAWFISH!!!!!!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@befffanie it depends on where you are from.

[terrastar12]

One person didn't get their crawfish.

[ilovekatiebugs]

paige, i love your videos so much! they never fail to brighten my day. i think it's because you always start out with "hello, friends," and that brings me back to 2nd grade when that's all the teacher addressed us as. (:

[hopeonatenspeed]

@ilovekatiebugs aww. i liked second grade.

[fizzylimon]

It's nice to know I have a reason for calling you Mother Bear.

Unfortunately, that would alsoo be the name for everyone who ever visits me. Ha. #petnamepimp

[hopeonatenspeed]

@fizzylimon well don't i feel special and unique...

[mojonacho]

Ethnomusicology. New word of the day.  Thanks, Paige!!

-J

[hazzelism]

My friends are all about to get new nicknames and they have no idea why... this is going to be fun :D

[iluvsakuraandsyaoran]

Naming people after foods sounds very awesome. We all need to do this.

[strengthofwill]

LOL, my nickname is takoyakichan because whenever I'm in Japan I stop at all the takoyaki stands...

[emmfan09]

I CANNOT WAIT TO BE YOUR LEGIT CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM.

[hopeonatenspeed]

@emmfan09 I WILL ICON IT SO HARD

[teamorangeapple]

I love how happy you always are and the fact that at the start of your video you always say "Hello Friends!". It is always the best part of my day when you upload a video

[SodaVampire]

singing to the beans! XD i love you! and naming people after food is awsome!

[kassiehp0593]

After this summer we shall have to make food names. :P Remind me that I have to eat around you at least once. Get excited. xD

[hopeonatenspeed]

@kassiehp0593 hahaha. make it a good one! you don't want a lame food nickname!

[TheEditingShop]

I could be your burrito! (not the cutest of nicknames, but meh, still a memory)

[seven2one]

hEEEEeeyyyy. i read that for Music, Language and Culture last semester. i like your interpretation of the story in the beginning than the one my prof gave.

i don't remember all of it, but he got off topic and spent the rest of the class talking about AMPs. and i got quite confused.

[joyzaphinemusic]

I love this concept! Food is so important to me, as are friends. I love the idea of nicknaming friends after meaningful food sharing experiences.

I have a funny 'food memory'. I remember foods. I can remember what I've had to eat at every person's house that I've eaten at. Even after many years have passed. I just associate foods with memories! My family thinks it's hilarious. I've been like that since I was 2! So I think the 'friendship foods' concept will work well for me :)

[hopeonatenspeed]

@joyzaphinemusic food memory! that is so beautiful.

[RancidAppleProducts]

I love my Fish Fingers and Custard ;)

[LAshlieH]

I think you should just call him cupcake. :)

[ErysimumInconspicuum]

All of my friends will be Sushi...delicious!

[livinonaprayer802]

You and Charlie singing to a pot of beans. That sounds so wonderfully adorable.

[hopeonatenspeed]

@livinonaprayer802 it was a beautiful moment.

[griffybabyyyy]

be my peanut butter cookie?

[hopeonatenspeed]

@griffybabyyyy for ever and for always.

[6u6u7o]

I <3 U

[legzandherpiano]

HOLY CRAPOLA that book is expensive!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@legzandherpiano i got mine out from the library. freee for meeee.

[ecrivantlune]

The Charlie/Beans story was so adorable :)

[EmmyNeander]

Oh! I remember that cake! Not that I was there or anything (haha, creepy) but I remember the video. It was how I got to know Erica. Well, on the internet. Yeah, anyway.

[hopeonatenspeed]

@EmmyNeander memorable internet cake! gah. it was a fantastic cake.

[DigitalCable]

I love this! I think I may adopt this myself :D

[hopeonatenspeed]

@DigitalCable do it! i hope all your friends are named after glorious foods very soon.

[lucythebookmonster]

*drinks water then spits embarassingly* YOU LIVE IN BELFAST? I live near it...lol

[MsMyrmaid]

That is literally the most adorable thing. I think I'm going to start calling my little brother my "mac and cheese" because that's what we always eat when it's just the two of us at home.

[hopeonatenspeed]

@MsMyrmaid i love mac and cheese!

[karathenerd]

you would be honey bread bc i am eating bread with honey with it while watching this lol :) i used to be called custard by my friend Hannah... but i don't remember what its from

[hopeonatenspeed]

@karathenerd ohhhh. honey bread. quality.

[mollyollypops]

buche de noel doesnt have a good ring to it. ill hold off on calling my friends that xD

[conleighb25]

The book can also be read for free on Google Books! :D

[hopeonatenspeed]

@conleighb25 i got mine out from the library. i like libraries.

[gwa2112]

When I was 5 years old, my big brother would not let me play with his Evil Kenevil action figure...I did not change into a bird, but I did totally leave home (forever) the day after I graduated high school. I never saw the connection until now. Thank you, Dr. P!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@gwa2112 hahahah. did you feel along and abandoned and without a family when your older brother refused to let you play with Evil Kenevil? maybe you should have turned into a bird!

[gwa2112]

@hopeonatenspeed Unfortunately, there are always two sides to a story. I was actually using Evil Kenevil as my avatar to "play house" with a Barbie that lived down the street... Maybe that was why my brother wouldn't let me play with his action figure. Anyway...I just had to wait a few more years until I started collecting Star Wars action figures and making my bedroom into a living diorama of epic space battles - That's when I acheived total awesomeness. I wasn't a bird, but I was ready to fly

[leafrulez]

Oh that's cool. I am going to start naming my friends after food. My best friend is now Pizza. For sure LOL

[elvenmuggle21]

I love the idea of nicknaming friends after a food you've shared together. I'm going to try this from now on.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who sings to my food :D

[kriswish2000]

I loved the name of your party lol. That sounds like it would have been fantastic fun!

\

[eeks1120]

This made me smile and I like the idea of naming people after food experiences. That's awesome. <3<3 I'm glad I can be your dinosaur cake haha

[AlannahSH]

I would have a lot of friends named Kraft Dinner if I did that.

[indieVISUALmaddy]

Oh gosh. I hope we share a delicious food story at Summer in the City so we can be delicious food friends. :O

[hopeonatenspeed]

@indieVISUALmaddy this is necessary.

[JordynJitters]

I'm an awesome cook/baker, just so you know. :p I would make you a plethora of food and then you could choose what to call me. :)

[bobbieorangeful]

you are so awesome!!!! I am totally gonna start singing to my food now!!!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@bobbieorangeful hahaha. all food should be sung to!

[anteggma]

you are now my lemon-rice because it's what i'm eating as i watch your video! : ) <3

[hopeonatenspeed]

@anteggma beautiful.

[M1995C]

haha my friends would be... "Rosti", "Peanut Butter Cup", "Cinnamon Toast", "Frozen Yoghurt", "Cheesecake", "Baked Potato".... etc. wow, that was fun :)

[hopeonatenspeed]

@M1995C a nice mix.

[dc8r17]

Your videos always bring a smile to my face, they just have positive energy to them, how can anyone not smile to them? Also, is it wrong that when thinking about food from this video, the first thing I thought of was waffles?

[hopeonatenspeed]

@dc8r17 haha. redemptive waffles? i'm sure that is what will's nickname would be.

[dc8r17]

@hopeonatenspeed Just waffles in general, redemptive or not, but then you have the side effect of saying Paige/Waffle, but you don't waffle, and I'm kind of waffling right now.

But agreed for Will!

[BotheringTrees]

This is great! The book sounds really interesting and the nicknaming is awesome.

[Badnewsbroad]

You make my life, lady! <3 My heart skips beats, when I see a new video in my subscription box!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@Badnewsbroad <333

[hopeonatenspeed]

@Beads425 it will change your life a little.

[Butterklumpenful]

Seems like I'm the muffin for my friends!

[NowWeAreAllTom]

I met my elementary school best friend when he kept stealing my snacks. Perhaps I shall call him "Pretzels" from now on. "Pretz" for short.

[hopeonatenspeed]

@NowWeAreAllTom haha. i like that one! that is probably on of the better food nickname options out there.

[JohnStynes]

You sang to your beans?!.....

I wish I had friends that did stuff like that randomly =D

[hopeonatenspeed]

@JohnStynes i sing about/to a lot of things. 

[howaboutstefanie]

@JohnStynes Me too.

[Gvf77x]

He's your ice cream that is a lie.

[greenmyste]

you made me crave icecrem! :D which acctually isnt that hard to do but none the less i want icecream now!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@greenmyste ugh. and i don't know about where you are...but it is perfect weather out for ice cream.

[greenmyste]

@hopeonatenspeed it totally is! we acctually have icecream at my house right now.... hmmm.... :D

[SantifyYoSelf]

Aww cute! I'll have to look into that book. You are my peanut butter toast. My best friend Jessica is now my artichoke. Now to figure out the rest :-)

[hopeonatenspeed]

@SantifyYoSelf i love peanut butter AND toast!

i don't think i've ever had an artichoke...

[arrow531]

your friends sound amazing i want a dino cake

[hopeonatenspeed]

@arrow531 my friend yiannis turned 30 and just had everyone meet him at a pub. he made fun of me when i said my last birthday party featured a dino cake. some people...hahahah.

[arrow531]

@hopeonatenspeed yeah i know what you mean now i want a dino cake lolz

[andreasfr1]

Gräddkola, it's a candy... and it's in Swedish... You have a Swedish nickname! :D

[hopeonatenspeed]

@andreasfr1 i love it! all my swedish friends moved away. i miss them.

[andreasfr1]

@andreasfr1 I can't move away ^^

I wasn't there in the first place but that's beside the point ^^

[outsidergirl]

This is awesome! I wonder why we don't do this more in America, since we're such a food-centric culture (whether we want to believe that or not, it's true). I feel like people would probably call me OJ, since I'm always drinking orange juice. Always. If we ever meet and have food together, Paige, you will forever be that food. So choose wisely the place that we will eat. :)

[hopeonatenspeed]

@outsidergirl hahahaha. i'm indecisive enough already! so much pressure!

[outsidergirl]

@hopeonatenspeed Hahaha, leave it up to good ole eeny-miney-moe.

[Lyndabb13]

You ae now Doritos! i was having cool original while watching... ooo isnt it fun to be you ;)

[hopeonatenspeed]

@Lyndabb13 i'm okay with that :]

[dylansayswords]

This is wonderful :)

[PaigrRoo]

I think turning into a bird when you are sad or lonely feeling would be awesome. Then all you would have to do all day is fly and sing - saddness over!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@PaigrRoo except that it is kind of a metaphor for dying...

[PaigrRoo]

@hopeonatenspeed ok... maybe except for that minor detail...

[isaiddevilyoulied]

You are now Cereal, as I was eating cinnamon toast crunch while watching this!

[hopeonatenspeed]

@isaiddevilyoulied i am honored. i haven't had cinnamon toast crunch in so long. i'm in love with anything that involves toast tho.

[TheMissingSignal]

I would love to be your tacos someday. Maybe even Enchilada.

[hopeonatenspeed]

@TheMissingSignal this sounds like perfection. we need to go through something meaningful together that ends in tacos!

[MyHandsLookWeird]

Aww, this is so cute.

[AmelierDrexezz]

this is such a cute and cool concept :) I'm definitely doing it !

[hopeonatenspeed]

@AmelierDrexezz glorious! all the cool kids are doing it...or something.
