This is how we Bingham | Part 4

[SqueakyWheel]

What is up with that massive container of dehydrated cereal marshmallows? These are two presumably grown people. Why would this be something they want in their lives? I get wanting treats. I don't turn down a chocolate chip cookie, or two, or maybe three. But sprinkles, cotton candy and now dehydrated marshmallows? Pathetic.

What is the obsession with cotton candy?? And I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but most of the Mormon vloggers are crazy for "treats". My understanding is that the Word of Wisdom actually encourages a healthy diet. But the Binghams, 8 Passengers, the Greedners, Ellie and Jared, and Bonnie Hoellein eat SO much junk and sweets! Is it a Utah thing, an LDS thing, or just a vlogger thing? I notice a lot of non-Mormon family vloggers eat a lot of junk too. I think it's so kids watching wish the vloggers were their parents-- the whole "we're such a FUN FAMILY!" thing.

I guess they dont have alcohol to have fun they have to compensate with sugar.... over compensating at that!!

I actually don’t think Haulnarse is far off. I think it’s a mental game. A justification. “I don’t drink or smoke so it’s okay if I do this.” Or maybe “the Word of Wisdom doesn’t specifically say not to have soda so that’s totally okay.” I do know many Mormon families that eat healthy but I know just as many who don’t. Could it be a Utah thing...maybe. I do think there is a Utah cultural thing that could be at play among certain personality types. I think the reason you see it so heavily in vlogging is they are often the same personality types who don’t take responsibility for their actions, feel like they are justified in breaking laws and somehow think the world is interested in what they buy at the grocery store.

In the normal world the loud totally obnoxious people are the ones tanked on alcohol. Could you imagine brandon after a couple of beers? Or mindy after a wine? Grubby tyson gardner after a beer - mr sleezy grubby mits on everyone

Mindy’s stories about getting ready for general conference. “Here some little treats here, here’s some color pages, here’s some more little treats” treats treats treats. She mentioned the other day they were having trouble getting to sleep each night and blamed it on the weather that they couldn’t get outside to burn energy. More like you hopped them up on sugar all day while they’re working in the kitchen staring at the pantry.

And all the LDS influencers are so annoying with their damn soda and acting like caffeine is so naughty. They all say “I usually stay away from caffeine but I NEEDED IT!” And the church allows them to have pop but they can’t have coffee? Both are just caffeine. One isn’t more addicting than the other.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Green tea is SO much better for you than Dr. Pepper. But caffeinated sodas are ok, and coffee and tea aren't? It's just so odd.
And they don't see the connection between all the "treats" and cavities, so of course they don't see it keeping the kids awake. They even made some remark about how they can't get their kids to brush their teeth well, "but what parents can?" (paraphrased)
LOTS OF PARENTS can get their kids to brush their teeth. My special needs daughter flosses every day.
But all the cavities they have are because of genetics.

Every video I've seen, the kids aren't brushing their own teeth, Mindy is. No wonder they don't want too!!! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during all this. Drove 50 miles into the city yesterday just to stock up for the month on groceries. Felt like I needed a hazmat suit!! And the phrase- "you need to step back" was used a lot from me.

I think the “sweets” and “treats” thing really is because they don’t have coffee or tea or alcohol. Utah is full of soda shops and drive thrus and donut shops and ice cream shops.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and we have a ton of coffee drive thrus but I’ve never seen a place that only sells soda.

But then again I’d rather drink a green tea or coffee than a 40 oz soda with 4 extra sugary flavors added

But your rug isn't all bunched up and a major tripping hazard. And it's actually pretty...

PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who thinks posting a "travel movie" of Branden and Mindy's trip to NYC LAST YEAR is the height of insensitivity at best, and possibly an attempt to cash in on the fact that New York is in the news right now, and they think maybe people will watch thinking that they traveled to New York in the past few weeks.
And I think these "travel movies" are a cash grab anyway. Do they actually get views? Why? I have no desire to watch them showing off their epic rad savage vacations even once, much less _again_ in an extended version.
I wish there was a way to report a video for being in bad taste.

100% agree with you. That’s the only reason to post this and I just checked it and there’s no disclaimer that this is old footage

Yes, Mindy. It is just wonderful living in a time when history is being made when you are living in a bubble of privilege and have everything you need. Maybe not so wonderful if you are sick or lonely or hungry or have empathy for those who are. Read the room, Binghams.

Incredibly insensitive and just ridiculous.

These people are really irritating me. Ruby Franke is going on about how she could just do this "forever" and she is loving isolating with her kids. The same kids she left behind with apparently no adult while she and her friends floated around the BVI on a yacht paid for by exploiting said kids. The Leroys posted a video with their _sophomore_ daughter crying over no prom. She isn't even a senior.
Yeah, it's loads of fun if you're wealthy and in a safe home with plenty of food and 85 gadgets to entertain your children. And you don't work at a minimum wage "essential" job and need to choose between going out and possibly endangering yourself and your loved ones, and making rent. Or you aren't a medical professional who can't hug anyone when you get home and doesn't have enough PPE, or like the doctor in New York who sent her kids to their grandparents for the duration so she won't endanger them... Someone used the term "tone deaf" on one of these forums. It's perfect.

Well it can appear that way for sure, but speaking as a New Yorker, for myself it will be nice to see it as it was and hopefully will be again. There are a lot of videos showcasing NY on YT anyway. We all knew he was going to do that, it's Branden after all. What about the comments coming and going? Suspect much? Do YouTubers get money from comments or views only?

They don't get money from comments, but more comments can improve the algorithm. I'm betting they turned the comments off to avoid people saying what I said.
I'm glad it's helpful for you to see NYC pre-Covid-19.

Thank you. I have my own memories of course and hopes, and that goes for all of us. Hope we all get through this safely, esp. our medical workers!

They're not there. It's all OLD footage from their anniversary trip last year. Branden does these stupid extended versions of their vacations (I think one is actually 2 hours long!!) And for some reason, people watch them!
I just think it's really insensitive to to New York right now, and I think the only reason he's using that footage as opposed to say, the Disney cruise, is because NYC is in the news right now, so he thinks people are more likely to watch. And he's counting on people thinking he's there now. And that is insensitive AF.
