Coke VS Coke Zero - Time lapse [4K] (TOP REQUEST) 

First of all thanks for being this amazingly fast when it comes to clicking on my videos, second of all I really really hope you are right and it will go to 10M views. That would be epic :)

@@PhotoOwl I can definitely see it going to 10M bro. Your efforts are insane!

​@@lengting it already has 500 views, so it's looking good as for now

It's already 377 views in 5 minutes!

@@PhotoOwl Coke/Coca Cola is internationally known, I see the potential. Also the intro with the ice cubes and pouring was very nice here

Lol!

There's always on of these in every video. The cameraman joke just isn't funny anymore

@@vectorvelocity7608 I agree, it’s such bland humour. This one in particular is not good

@@vectorvelocity7608 you're just jealous of your Shakey hands and lack of the determination to watch two cups of soda mold and evaporate.

the only more dedicated cameraman is the one at the end of the walking dead season 6 finale for taking deadly blows to the head for the sake of the show. there's a place in heaven for people like that.

Imagine that :d

fun fact: something similar was invented once, the ismell, lmao

I have seen this exact comment on every single video.

no way, literally?

Let me get right on that.

In America they’re both artificial sweeteners the original Coca Cola is made with that high fructose corn syrup bs

Two glasses, 1 liter of coke, a knife and a straw

Glasses don't feel pain. They don't care if they're being harmed.

@@ThanksCaptainObvious They suffered for our pleasure.

@@TheJwwinter no

Hypothetically speaking, could you bleach and reuse the glass or something? I'd throw it away but curious what would kill this kinda bacteria....

yeah definitely wanted to know what species was in each one initially, super different morphology of the colonies

Less mold is happy with artificial sugar. Real sugar on the other hand is great food for many fungi.

You did not just fucking say mold cultures holy shit

Sugar

Uh.....bacteria in the glasses or the ice...or the hand that held the ice....etc

yeah the coke zero one was really weird looking at first. i'm pretty sure that aspartame is like way worse for us than even sugar.

Could just be different molds on the edge of the different cans. It's not a controlled test in a clean environment.

Thank you! It's amazing what you can observe when you let things sit for a while.

​@@nurgle-j5n Yup. I've never been a fan of artificial sweeteners. If ants won't touch it I'm not sure we should either 🤷‍♂️

@@-Graham Sugar feeds candida (natural bacteria in the body) candida then overgrows in the mouth, your immune system says; "hey, you're not meant to be here, begone!", candida then breaks down the calcium in your teeth to encase in self and shield itself from your immune system aka when your teeth gets fuzzy (plaque) a few hours after consuming sugars. Candida also effects your circulatory systems pH to supress the immune system and cause you to crave more sugar, and cause fatigue. Artificial sweeteners such as Erythritol doesn't feed candida, and another one is Xylitol which actively removes candida. Reasons why ants don't touch it? it contains no energy / calories / no sustenance.

My boss at my job she has a big, new truck and one day she was smelling a horrible smell in her truck and it was lasting for several weeks. Turns out one of her kids spilled chocolate milk in the backseat and the bottle was kicked underneath the driver's seat. It was SO BAD of a smell when I got a ride from her one day.

I had a thermos explode once due to rotten milk cocoa 😂.

Happens to everything

Damn 2 years? Entire microscopic empires have risen and fallen, epic battles have been waged

thats a harrowing tale this is my favorite comment

If I'm not wrong spores travels kilometers right? So 100% possible

Good eye! The glasses were actually about 40cm (roughly 16 inches) apart from each other, so cross-contamination could definitely have happened.

Could have done, though I imagine the presence of sugar in the original allowed one type of mould to form whilst a different mould which doesn't need sugar to grow started on the zero.

​@@PhotoOwl you also stuck your thumb in the first can. You probably opened the second one the same way. Embarrassingly careless!

@@Khorne19 you are not the first to tell me that, but that's not how I open cans. I had the camera in front of me, right in my face, and I had to be in an awkward position to open the can, and that's why my hand kinda slipped :D I never cut my finger on a can

Hi! Your videos are so interesting lol, i just woke up

The notification, watched 22s after upload, love your work

@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok, np

I read this right when you added water and it seemed like you were stirring with a metal straw. I got very scared

​@Don't Read My Profile Picture OK, we won't be rickrolled

If you look carefully there's actually a little bit of ice left in the Coke Zero

Definitely not at day 104 :D

I wonder if the minerals in the water in the cubes actually helped the bacteria growth

Yeah I think you shouldve left it out for the experiments sake

@@GaiaGalaxy420 I completely agree! Ice cubes melt quickly, leaving the soda watered down, which might alter the effect.

Day 2

Yeah, day 2. They say if you leave a pizza out, it's safe to eat it up to 2 hours, so as per those scientist who came up with that, even the 2 days is pushing the limits :D

Day 7

Not even day 1

I'm not even willing to drink that crap fresh out of the bottle.

Yes I have! :) I film these in a separate studio, that's only used for time lapses, nothing else. Multiple ones going at the same time

@@PhotoOwl Oh nice, didn't actually expect that you'll answer, thanks!

@@PhotoOwl do you position the cameras in the same exact position each day/hour or you have multiple ones constantly recording?

​​@@PhotoOwl do you wear a gas mask? Because I would for all the bio hazards that are made in there Edit: I mean no offense of course and please leave the comments always on I love comments

​@@PhotoOwl I'm sure I speak for many people when I say we would love to see your setup and prep for these vids. Without giving too much away of course 😉

Why do I see it so clearly though????

it literally does 😭 kind of pretty

lamao

Why was the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the Coke Zero mold "volvox"

Not enough money to pay for the hospital bills.

Thanks for sending it, that's one of the best things you can do :D

...yeah I was thinking his table or bench was not 100% level. Maybe it did have something to do with the light?

@@besticudcumupwith202 As liquids are self-levelling, a non-level table would have no effect. I believe it was the light.

mold doesn't do well with a high concentration of sugar. That's why sugary things hold so well.

The size of the initial mould colony is going to be high variance, as it came from the cup and/or the ice cubes. What section of the freezer the ice cubes were in, or how far to the back of the cupboard the cup came from will make a big difference in how large the initial mould growth is.

sweet stuff usually doesnt mold. chocolate from first ww can still be eaten if the packaging holds up. sure its not the same but it is clearly the difference here

​@@WhiteBoyGamer chocolate "make" very little tiny maggots... I saw once.

Also possibly different species of mold or different amounts of multiple mold species, based on the preference to the specific chemical environment.

my nuts

One cool thing about Coke Zero is that it's not sticky at all. You could spill it and it's like cleaning up colored water.

I also wonder how mould grew on it as there is no sugar.. But then also you can get mould in bathrooms or black mould near windows so that then makes me wonder what the food source is to feed these??

It contains Caramel, Phosphoric Acid, Aspartame, Acesulfame-K, Natural Flavourings and Sodium Citrates … so there is some stuff for molds to eat.

@@frojojo5717 It does not contain caramel. It contains caramel food coloring. Caramel is just the name of the color.

it legit was bro

Probably the same slight tilt of the table, or perhaps even the airflow of the room

@@TobiNightcore It seemed to move away from the light source.

I wouldn’t even drink that shit for a billion dollars

@@timeblade are you sure? If you know you don't die from it, but get a billion dollars, you wouldn't? It's like 1minute of pure disgust that results in joy for the rest of your life

@@jno7 you’re not thinking about the side affects from it. It may not affect you right now but later there might be issues

@@timeblade I think you'll manage to get good enough medical treatment with a billion lol

I still drink them, but only once a week. It is a sweet treat, and should be treated as such. ❤

@@ArDeeMee I don't use extra sugar at all, can't stand this sugar syrup any longer, way too sweet for me. Once you refrain from extra sugar, you'll notice every mg of it in foods. Good, you're only consuming it once per week, there was a time I'd drink up to 2l per day of this syrup, stopped drinking it also like 15 years ago like the commenter, wished I had refrained from it earlier.

@@ArDeeMee per week is still too much I'd say

@@joisaita6522 That’s your choice.

@@ArDeeMee I think you're looking for the term called "opinion". Yeah but it's still too much.

And I'd be interested to see one pair of glasses covered and one pair uncovered.

Mold spores exist floating in the air as well, so it'd probably be very similar regardless.

If we want to see the best result, lab conditions must be prepared but it is a hassle if you’re not a researcher

*Mould

I cleaned them, because that mold that you can see being stuck to the glass came off pretty easily. It didn't smell bad either, so I thought why not clean them. But yes, usually if a glass gets too disgustingly dirty then I just throw it away. Egg in glass video for example, or the strawberry milkshake one

@@PhotoOwl interesting, good to know that glass with mold can be cleaned. Thank for you answering! 🙂 I love your videos ❤️

@@PhotoOwl Another question: Would you drink something using this glass? Even after cleaning it very well, i think i wouldn't....

@@tornado100able Not OP, but that should be a non issue. If you have a moldy glass, yes, you should probably intensively clean it, at best with more than 60°C best would be cooking it (so 100+°C) But glass is one of the few materials that are REALLY good at being cleanable, one of the reasons why we use it in the first place. Example: Most of the glassware used in chemistry is made of very similar glass to your regular household glass. There is stuff that does not go well with this in chemistry, but most acids and the like can be handled in your regular old water glass :)

Basically yes, from dust to dust until the spores find a new habitat to flourish .)

yes, without moisture the mold cannot defend itself and will be oxidized into oblivion by the sun and the air. but the mold changes color before that: spore release - those spores are often resistant to dessication, and can sit dormant for years, until they land in another glass of pop or other suitable substrate. some molds actively disperse them in the air. the green stuff on the left is clearly mold spores which spread in the air. some mold can just break off fibers that float around without specialized sexual spores. some molds form dessication resistant masses called sclerotia too.

Depends on the species of mold I'd say. I've seen mold growing on window sills and the like. But I guess that can be an area where moisture would condense anyway.

I wonder where the mold comes from in the first place

Scoby doo be doo?

I like your style!!!🙏🙏🙏✌✌

I think more mold spores could end up in the glass from the air. I don't think those ice cubes made a lot of difference

@@PhotoOwl Very possibly, yes. I assume the two glasses were filmed in separate locations so there was no cross contamination.

@spooderderg4077 Yes, I know. What I meant by that was, I don't think adding food grade clean ice cubes introduced any additional bacteria to the coke that wasn't anyways present in my studio where I film dozens of these at the same time.

@@PhotoOwl food grade clean ice cubes.. well, you used your fingers to put them in. was the cans clean? never have i seen anyone else wipe the top of the can before putting it in ther face.. i trust the glasses were sterile despite not being in an sterile environment. pretty sure i saw flies. and idk if such a level of detail was meant for the timelapse even. just saying. had a good watch. thank you. also, one with real sugar would be nice. though bet it's already out there so how interested am i anyway hehe.. if you are looking to improve production quality these little details are what makes the experience of both creating and watching so much richer. and that is what many "complaining" here is actually saying. this is a tough branch you are in where very high quality is almost always expected. Esp. from one like you who have the appearance of someone who would deliver premium quality. after all you do already deliver quality..

@@MalhaIIa yes, I absolutely get what you mean. I could increase the quality of these time lapses by filming them in a sterile environment. I'm working on creating a better place for me to film, right now I'm limited by space, and you know I have to film multiple projects to he able to keep up the weekly uploads. What I meant by the clean I cubes was, they were ice cubes I made at home in my clean freezer by using clean tap water. I could use them in my drinks without any problem. So when I used those ice cubes in the coke, or not wiping the top of the can made very little difference when it comes to contamination, because there are a dozen other projects being filmed just a few feets away, and they are dirty rotting moldy stuff. I'm not complaining, there are many other niches that are much harder to film/create, but time lapses also have their difficulties. For me it's space limitation. Soon I will be able to start filming at a new place with more space. I like the idea of a sterile room for special time lapses, hopefully I can start uploading such videos too soon enough. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate your feedback!

there will be. that sludge left in the glass at the end is the corn syrup. sort of gives a good visual representation as to why it's terrible to consume and many countries have just made it illegal.

Yeah. At first I though it might be the caramel that supports growth too, but it might just contain caramel coloring (which is different than real caramel). But some molds can me vicious little bastards and can break down a lot of chemicals for nutrition. It would only be molds growing in it, because the pH is too low to support bacteria.

Impurities from the ice cubes

Just needed recarbonating

Yes, in fact you also metabolize aspartame

also, there is only 1 gram of aspartame as opposed to 50 grams of sugar

@@SoulAir yeah, I know we do but I didn't know a fungus can too

@@Corksy fungi can eat way more things than we can. fungi can eat wood, paper, motor oil, grass clippings, plastic.

I'd expect there to be very little sugar left in the Coke at that point given the fact there is so much growth. On this, it's very surprising to me given the large difference in nutritional content that the biomass appeared similar. You would expect the one with massive amounts of carbon from sugar to grow more, no? I wonder how so much biomass is forming here in the Coke Zero.

Thanks! It's so good to see someone in the comments who was here when I started the channel. I can see you deleted you old videos, why is that? It was normal time lapses, not driving time lapses, right?

@@PhotoOwl Thats cool that you remember him :).

@@PhotoOwl ahhh sorry I took so long to reply. But I’m now interested in aviation and I really don’t see the point in doing driving Timelapse’s anymore. But it’s cool that you remember me! It’s been like 3 years!

there's no aspartame in coke zero, it uses stevia. diet coke is sweetened with aspartame.

@@ginger_queen8108 that's cap, your honor

it decreases growth of e coli but increases growth of some others. The Effect of Caffeine on the Bacterial Populations in a Freshwater Aquarium System (gibson et al 2009)

im not a scientist just a guy who smokes a bunch of weed but i also thought this

If microbes would need large amounts of sugar to survive, you could just leave a glass of water exposed to air and drink it after two weeks. Normal water has zero calories as well and yet, I would not recommend to drink it after a longer time.

Jace Beleren, scientist and mold enthusiast.

zero has no sugar at all in it. Instead it has acesulfame potassium and aspartame, e950 and e951 respectively. That's why it tastes wrong

If it has no sugar then it's a chemical shitstorm.

Whenever I drink the normal coke I can instantly taste the sugar...its just too much for me.

@@Shaved_Bunny I share the same opinion. I got used to Zero an the OG now feels too much sweet. If they are very cold I can drink both

​@@Shaved_Bunny same, and it's not even the sweetness. It's the syrupy texture. Coke Zero just feels.. lighter? Regular coke just has that wrong texture of corn syrup

The mold is probably from içe cubes

@@dorukurasdemir3045 Would be cool to test this again with and without ice cubes and see how things change. 🙂

Zero has syrup remaining too. It is just 1/100 of the syrup of a coke.

It will all go eventually if left long enough, he just stopped the video at the point that *one* of them finished first. Really should have left it for another 20 days at least.
