for the question that asked you to choose food, the set of teeth was the answer because it chews food

(Already commented this on YouTube but it occurred to me that Patreon might be a more reliable place to do so....) I finally got around to watching this and I was happy to hear the Captain Underpants games mentioned! I feel like I often overlook them when remembering Flash games that were significant to me. IIRC the first version of Tetris I ever played was a booger-themed one from the Captain Underpants website (though my favorite one of those games was I think a Breakout-genre game with Sulu the Bionic Hamster as the ball)
On the topic of digital preservation of Flash games: there's a community project called Flashpoint that aims to collect & archive all of these classic web games. There's tons of games on there already and it uses a custom application launcher which makes it a lot safer than using a web browser with an outdated & potentially insecure Flash runtime. Check it out at https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint (and yes, they seem to have a game called Black Licorice).
