I Bought BANNED Food Products From Our Childhood 🚫 

I Tested 50 Limited Edition Food Products: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8TP5r1YMG40.html

I didn't know California is going through a ban with Red Dye 3, but I will say my nephew is literally restricted from it by his Doctors because it affects his seizures.

In the EU, we have a lot of American snacks but they are made differently, so that they pass the regulations.

Capsaicin is literally the thing that make food "burning hot spicy" The best remedy against that is cold milk. The sugar, fat, and protein in the milk will help wash away some of the capsaicin. Swish the milk like a moush wash.

its crazy how vivid the american pez colors are, the eu ones are almost white and only have a hint of the colors🍬

The fact that I ate these as a kid is crazy

The Danes banning something for being too spicy is so on brand.

Lol, my country banns everything 😂 we do have very strict food controls, though, for which I'm honestly glad. They also control if companies try to lie with their consumables. Like, when they say their olive oil is extra virgine, they literally test it if it's true. They even control the labels etc. Like, if the company says their olive is from some specific province in Italy, they check the legitimately. I ordered some twinkies to test from amazon before though..lol. But, you can get other products from hostess in special shops that sell stuff from around the world.

Irn Bru is pronounced Iron Brew - it’s delicious with vodka! Enjoy!

Fun fact: Capcasin is what you find in all chili peppers 😂 higher the the scovile unit higher is the amount of capsacin [watch nile red make pure spicyness]

We eat ALL of these….It’s a wonder I’m still alive! 😂❤

“If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it” Me, a biochemistry major- Oh well🌚

most states have already banned hormone pumped food, so don't get deceived by just the label "no hormones added" and look at the other things labeled. Food education is just as important to financial education, everyone take care of yourselves as must as you can! :)

My issue is that they won't replace Red Dye 3 with beet extract or annatto and will replace it with Carmine or cochineal extract (those are cheaper). That's crushed up bugs that live on the agave plant (the same one for agave sweeteners and tequila). I have an epi-pen for it because the allergy is that severe to it and wasp stings.

capsaicin isnt that much of an issue. you are a lot more likely to just have some stomach issues at worse rather than any sort of identifiable nuerotoxic effects.

Such a waste that you had to buy all that soda to take one sip. 😆😆

We loooooove buldak noodles, but we never do the full packet of sauce cause it's too much. We often add a bit of (coconut) cream and eat it with roasted, salted peanuts and scallions :D

My boss's son was having severe psychological issues and eventually out of desperation they cutout red dye after his wife read an article of an experiment in I think Australia. His issues went away almost completely. That stuff is not good.

so i live in scotland, irn bru is amazing, one of my favourite drinks. my dad used to clean carpets for a living and he hated having to do irn bru stains because they were the hardest to get out. once they dry in, there's so little chance of getting it out XD

this is a great idea of a video. keeep them coming

Water spreads capsasin so you feel more hot when you dring water instead dring cold milk (it dosent make the spicy dissapear but it helps)

1:57 Part of the reason they likely say it may not cause harm is because we can't do testing on humans, and sometimes rat and mice studies are wrong! Not in that they contain incorrect findings, but that they sometimes are not applicable to humans. It's important to remember still we are two (or three) separate species, and there are differences in our morphology that will create different results in tests. I was in a behavioral and neuro genetics class this past semester, and we were shown an actual example of how these rat/mice studies may not be accurate to humans, as the example we saw the results for humans and mice were complete opposites of each other. (If people have any interest in that study, I can go back through my notes and see if I can find it from there)

To die from hot Ramen is just hilarious

About the chicken: it is added a lot of saline water in the cheaper one that you bought, that’s why have that looks. It is not because of the chlorine wash.

The x2 spicy is so good. Sometimes, I save up the sauce packets to use more 🤣

The BHT being banned doesn’t surprise me. I’ve always felt a bit sick after eating anything with it.

I'm in the UK. I remember always wanting to try Twinkies. Until I read the ingredients. GMO preservatives, syrups, tallow and bioengineered oils. How they even make it to the shelves as food is beyond me. If you don't know what the ingredients are, DONT eat it!! ❤

Omg I love all the foods you shown here and ate most of them! Now I’m reconsidering buying them from now on!

13:07 "If u can't pronounce the ingredients name don’t eat it" soo funny....🤣💀

11:00 NOT SWISS ROLLS 😢 EDIT: YOUNG LOOKING MILLENIAL HERE 😊

Buldak is amazing. Danish government is just weak.😂

The purpose of the BVO was to retain the citrus in suspension in the liquid.

I guess this will be the closest we get to a spicy noodle challenge from you 🥲

Me getting here in 3 minutes is crazyyyy 🤣🤣

I've also learned that some states are allowing lab grown chicken. So when checking the chicken look for "Hatched" labeled somewhere on the package

I love buldak bokkeummyeon! I hope you are ok after eating all that banned food 😹

There are so many American products banned in Canada due to health and safety concerns. It's funny how we're neighbours but can vary so widely. I once went to a grocery store here in Canada and over the poultry section they had a sign painted which said something like "unlike American chickens, Canadian chickens never have growth hormones added to their feed!". Apparently growth hormones for meat, poultry and dairy are almost entirely banned here save for a few exceptions for cows.

I love your channel so much and this one is just excellent. Thank you for dropping some extremely entertaining knowledge on us!!

Hi! Canadian here! You can find Irn Bru here, but it's imported and a bit more expensive than your typical bottle or can of fizzy drinks.

Pronounce the Irn in Irn Bru like “iron.”

I’ve always hated stuffing 😂😂😂😂

6:33 thank god i eat different kind of Buldak. CHEESY CARBONARA and CHEESE.

Orange Crush, and Grape Soda used to contain BVO, not sure if they still do.

Irn bru is actually pronounced Iron Brew, it's also one of my favourite sodas, it tastes so good!

I think the point of boxed mac and cheese is that you don't need to do any extra steps, if you are in a rush or too tired. Can do a regular mac and cheese otherwise :) thank you for spreading awareness of those toxic dyes! (and other ingredients). We eat Spicy noodles, but only 1 - spicy, 2 spicy would be too hot for me.

I am really wondering how I survived my childhood.Eating all the foods, sitting after birthday partys in the trunk b/c there were not enough seats and oh on eastern the homemade eggnogg in chocolate cups from my grandmother? yep... 💀

As a chemist who can reads everything, rip me

Kraft stated changing their formula years ago since buying yellow 5 and yellow 6 got more expensive. Kraft is trying to get rid of food dye from their products. The only reason i know this is my sister is allergic to all these dyes. She gets an anaphylactic reaction

Love Buldak spicy noods and finally at Guam were found the 2x Spicy and it was so spicy but I could finish it. 💯

Brominated Vegetable oil allows a suspension of the citric acid that would otherwise not mix well with carbonated water.

wow, great information!!!

BHA and BHT are in a fair few dry breakfast cereals too 🥣

Canadian here. Irn Bru isnt banned in Canada. Been buying the import for many many years.

I’m curious what you do with the products after you bought them :0 Like the sodas and the snacks Sure they ain’t good but I hate to waste them 😅

As a European the pasteurised chicken definitely looks like the chicken we have here, the regular chicken looks so weird especially texture wise

i am mostly shocked about pez. Pez is from Austria, and we don't use those toxic ingredients here - Austria has even stricter regulations than most other EU countries. And yet, in the pez produced in america those ingredients are there.

I used to work a a chicken plant it’s all same plant but different grade of meat and they put it in different packages

Man, I love Stove Top. It's worth it. lol

7:16 the way you said that so funny

The PEZ candy in my country has no colour, like barely. I was surprised when i saw how colourful those ones were in California 😮

A little known fact for US chicken consumers. Chicken raised and sold are not allowed to be on hormones. As is with any US farmed poultry. No hormones is a marketing thing. They were banned being used in to 50's. Articles and even in the USDA FAQ this information is seen.

Buldak is great but I gotta say the spicy cheese one is easily their best stuff.

Why do they need so much time to reformulate some basic food dyes? Just replace them with non-banned alternative dyes. When the dye is even needed in the first place.

Irn Bru = Iron Brew No idea why it's spelt like that. Maybe a Scottish viewer could answer that question. Thankfully Australia has a lot of these food additives banned already.

I’ve seen BHA and BHT in Jenny O ground turkey and their sausages I don’t know if they still use it or not because I stopped buying them years ago.

I remember wantjng to try Impossible burger here in the UK but that was banned. A lot of American products are banned here.

I love buldak noodles, but I also love super spicy food lol

I get everything on that list, but the hot noodles with Capsaicin. I mean, they warn you, that they are hot. By that logic, every spicy food should be banned and that would be pretty sad. I had the three times hot noodles once, they had a package with powder and that sauce, which was nearly black. I used all of the powder (it was mostly flavor and not very hot) and just a third of that sauce package and that was pretty spicy, but ok. I gave the rest to a colleague, who loves really spicy food.

I'm surprised you found Sun Drop...I don't think they sell it in my state anymore because I haven't seen it for years...

Stock up California!!!

I tried Irn Bru in Canada

my city have buldak spice soup

I'm sitting here with my Dr. Pepper and had to check the ingredients, no BVO in it thank goodness. I'll never understand Stovetop Stuffing, I won't eat it again after becoming violently ill after the only time I tried it. My Son was born with migraines but we didn't get an official diagnosis until he was 4. I had to be a wise shopper when buying ingredients to make our meals. Of course, his grandparents would give him food he was supposed to avoid which caused some friction between the in-laws and myself. Now he's an adult and he knows what to avoid but he still makes poor food choices.

You title it banned food products when they aren't banning the products themselves just the dye inside the products.

I eat the buldark spicy noodles quite often, they are not banned in the country I live in, even have a few packets of the X 3 spicy ones in my larder. Great product.

I definitely ate the macaroni and cheese packets as a kid. I really appreciate your discussion about the deal though.

in Germany PEZ are always white, i never knew they are colorful in the usa

Because of the bans everywhere (my country didn't ban anything to my knowledge), the buldak stew one doesn't get imported anymore ( no buldak ramen is, actually. Even carbonara) so istg im on life support at this point 😭😭

wow with the pez because in south africa we don't have coloured pez pellets.

So is it only going to be in CA? If yes will they make special ones for CA? Hmmm

Irn-Bru pronounced as iron brew.

Banning buldak for containing capsaicin is a bit weird to me. What might be usefull is a warning that it might be too spicy or can cause nausea if not used to spicy foods. I tried to find capsicin concentration compaired with chilli peppers but could find it (if someone soes please share). It is true that capsaicin is a "neurotoxin" because it can reversibly inhibit pain receptors. reversibly means they need a while but they get their full function back. Capsaicin is used to numb neuropathic pain (pain caused by nerve damadge) but it needs quite a few applications and the pain comes back after one to a few months. So what I am trying to say is I doubt that these noodles are more dangerous then a very hot pepper.

I live in Canada in the province of Québec and we have the irn bru its in groceries store available to all its not ban here😅

sorry but the placement and size of the skulls made me thibk "hollow knight"

Ima eat my stovetop thoo

I looked at my mountain dew and it has yellow 5 in it😭

I,m in Canada and I've never seen chicken like that shredding when uncooked O.o;;

Hormones and antibiotics are not allowed in poultry in the united states, Whether they are labeled that way or not. Personally , I pay more to purchase pasture raised chicken and eggs.

imma still eat them🤷‍♀️

If I’m not mistaken, the ferric oxide in IRN-BRU (pronounced iron brew) is what we call “rust.” Ferrum is the Latin name for iron and oxide is when a matter reacts with air. I might be mistaken, but it makes sense considering the name of the product.

I do like The Drinks

Seeing the peez is so crazy for me from Sweden, I’ve also grown up with peez but ours are like white or light yellow with no artificial flavors

@ me watching this while eating my Buldak noodles 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Red 3 to 5 are banned pretty much anywhere in the EU. They were linked to hyperactivity and concentration problems in children in the 90s and basically all sodas are now coloured by natural extracts. UK Fanta being coloured by Carrots and natural pumpkin colourings.

NOT PEZ!!!

I remember seeing people complain about the danish noddle ban government don't ban food for nothing

I ate the buldak 3x spicy yesterday😅😅😅

4:49 it's pronounced "iron brew"

Uhmmm... so they banned buldak but not carolina pepper spicy sauce? Which the latter was actually used as a torture method to a child?

Just to let you known, IRN BRU is pronounced like ‘iron brew’ 🧡🍊
