i tested ways to find REAL vs. FAKE FOOD ITEMS 2 

Ok you know you've got a real friend when you can call them at 4am to ask them what color your milk is.

Heads up to anyone saying he is lying about being colorblind= their is different kinds of color blind some people can't see color at all,some people see certain colors but not different varies of shades of that color, some know what the colors are called but not what they actually look, some see certain shades of a color, some see certain colors it all depends

I hate when you joke about hating yourself. Like whenever you put yourself down my heart hurts. Please stop, you’re amazing. That is all.

Tea is SUPPOSED to stain. The bigger the leaves the longer it takes. Finer tea is used for a couple of minutes, while the bigger leaves can take up to 10 minutes. The tea leaves also need to open, to produce color and taste.

"Hmm...This is not a good time to be colour blind" probably wasn't meant to be as funny as I found it, but his moment of realisation was perfect x

Friend "I have like a ghost in my house right now " Raphael"i have more important stuff" *shows milk*

Honey is not diluted with water. The ones that are diluted are diluted with syrup. It will also be different from hive to hive, country to country and what pollen they use.

the color of the milk depends on the fat content of it. the fancy milk is probably whole milk, which contains more fat, so it has a more yellow color and a creamy texture. the blueish color must be some kind of "optical illusion", because cheaper milk is thinner, so the refraction is different, or some compound of the milk and the rice drink started to dissolve the colored compounds of the seaweed. on the honey... different types of honey contain different amount of water. fake honey has been melted, so this is why it is more fluid, not because of added water. on the tea... the cheaper "tea powder" has a larger surface, due to the smaller particles, so the colored compounds are dissolving faster and easier. by the way, the type of the tea, and the added components (eg. flavorings) are also influencing factors. vegetables and fruits have wax on their surface, it is natural, this is one of their defense mechanism. some of them have a lot, like bell peppers, and hot water melts it. the butter thing is just bullsh*t :D if oil turns pink because of sugar, all products which contain margarine and sugar would be pink... the "something wierd" stuff with the dissolution of sugar is no trick, you have more solvent material in the oily mixture. the color of sweet potato comes from carotenoids, which are naturally yellow, orange or red. thess are fat soluble compounds, so oil is going to dissolve them... naturally. the long shaped sweet potato can be more clean, and the skin could contain more carotenoids, than the round one. the purple one contains anthocyanins, which are water soluble and thermosensitive compounds, so oil and cold water won't do anything. the plastic in rice is also bullsh*t. :D and yes, different types of rice look veeeery different, and some of them is cheaper, than others. this is the big secret here. please, do some science, before making videos like this.

Raphael : *proceeds to add water to the honey* also Raphael : WhY iSnt iT STickIng ??!??!

milk with rice water became blue because rice contains starch and seaweed contains iodine. when starch and iodine are combined together it changes color to blue, it's just basic chemistry

The potato bit, you get the colors on your napkin because thats what color the potatoes are to begin with. Farmers make very little profit, why on earth would they waste money on dying their potatoes? And to what gain? Normal russet potatoes are boring brown and we buy them anyway so its definitely not to increase sales. Pretty much all of these are utterly fake and don't actually make sense if you think about it critically.

did you know that when you buy honey when you drip it on a plate, put water over it, spin it around a lot, you’ll see the markings of the honeycomb

No one: Literally Nobody: Not a Soul: No one In the Entire World: Raphael: -Rubs Purple Potato On Lips- Also Raphael: Kyle Jenner Who?

I think you should do the experiment with the cheap one untamperd with first, then tamper with it and try it again. Or do like three tests instead of two, one high price, one low price, and one deliberately messed up.

:v if you want to know why these claims are misleading, just visit Ann Reardon's channel, How To Cook That

Rice milk is rice and water..... rice milk in an alternative to dairy.... we make rice milk at my job, its legit rice and milk because the point of it is to have no milk. just like almond milk, soy milk, and coconut milk.. none of those have actual milk, just water.

Rapheal: This cow goes more places then I can and why dose it look happier then me?.. Me: Omg yes same

“There’s like, a ghost in my house right now...” “Okay, that’s interesting, but there’s serious stuff going on right now.”

Why are all the comments so negative?? He's doing it just for fun, he's not a scientist, you all need to chill

This comment section is so random and weird

Everybody at 4am: sleeping Paphael at 4am: putting seaweed in milk 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤ Edit: omggg thanks I have never gotten that many likes thannnnks 💓😂🙏💕

"there's like a f***ing ghost in my house right now" "okay, that's interesting but like we got a serious stuff going on" "okay..." lol what

About the milk. It just seems to be blue, because the surface of the little bubbles/molecules (i don't know what exactly) doesn't reflect the light so much. The white of milk (and bubbles of soap i.e.) mostly comes from light reflection. So you can see better through the liquid if the structure is another. You can see more of the seeweed through the ricemilk, its like a grey-blueish shadow. The ricemilk should still have the same colour as before, after taking the seeweed outside of the glass again.

I just wanted him to test the products as they were 😭😭😭

I feel like instead of adding what supposedly causes the reaction right away you could’ve tested the product as it is first then add the thing that causes the reaction.

Friend: There's a ghost in my house! Raphael: Is this milk blue? 😂😂😂 Damn!

Use iodine instead of seaweed , rice water contains carbohydrate adding iodine would turn the mixture bluesh black

Red potatoes are a type of potato !! They’re called Désirée potatoes. The purple sweet potatoes are also a type of sweet potato, generally sweeter than your normal orange type ones.

What upset me with this video is, he had two test subjects but instead of making a thrid one, he ruined the cheap one (test subject 2). Other than that, lovely video

Raphael : i'm gonna test the products as they are *adds water in honey* me : um sis?????

Hii!! Just popping in to say Rice milk is blended up rice with water and then usually strained through a fine cloth Rice water is the water that comes from the rice when boiled or washed (depending on what you're using it for)

The milk didn't exactly turn blue but there was a slight colour change, with you actually adding water to the honey it's made it way too thin to do the experiment..the particals in the water are actually flecks of wax so that is spot on

Good project. Next time you should do 3 of them. A cheap one, an expensive one, and one that has been intentionally messed with by you

I really enjoy this series but I have a recommendation for testing the cheap vs expensive products. It would be better to have a control, then the cheap, then the expensive. For example, with the milk having the 3 milks separate from the beginning instead of mixing the rice milk with the cheap milk. That way you can tell if there really is a difference in the cheap vs expensive. Same with the honey experiment.

I think the scissors are for pizza (is anyone else watching this in quarantine??)

People at night 85% of people: asleep 15% of people: *awake watching youtube* Raphael: *watching a candle burn*

Maybe you should test the cheaper one on its own first before you adding stuff in them😁

Theres also one where you can see if its real honey by... 1. putting it in a bowl 2. add a little bit of water 3. shake it around and it should have a honeycomb pattern.

The purple yam is used in Filipino desert. The flavour is called Ube and it is used in cakes, ice cream and much more. Super delicious btw 🍠

Sugar would never turn pink with the oil butter experiment. When you make cake or cookies, does it turn pink? No. And I use oil instead of butter and it doesn't turn pink

R: ‘Whatever butter is made of” Me : ‘ha doesn’t even know what butter is made of” Also me “wait...what is butter made of? F**k”

For the seaweed milk one i think you were supposed to use DRIED seaweed.

It wouldn't make sense to put plastic in cheap rice, because the plastic would cost more than the rice. But I'm pretty sure that Anne from How to cook that, has explained it in one of her videos.

"This one is to test if the butter is pure, if it is made of....... whatever butter is made of" thats me in life

Teacher: “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Baby Raphael: “a happy cow!”

I like how he kept saying he wanted to make it fair but yet he would always corrupt or interfere with the cheaper one

Raphael, you need to test the item before you dilute it.. cause then you don't know if the item before was actually diluted..

Raphs Friend: "there's a ghost in my house" Raph: "We have more serious things to discuss.... What color is this milk?" Me: 😂💀

"Well this is not a good time to be colorblind" HAHAHA he gets me every time he makes a joke about that

i’m so annoyed you didn’t test the actual product and also do a separate one that you purposely messed with because i wanted to know if those products were good or not ughh😂

it's not dye, it's the pigment from the skin of the tuber (the root vegetable)

The milk one looked white for all of them. Only a bit off because of the green sea weed making an illusion in all of them

Just a little suggestion, maybe have 3 test, the cheaper one (possibly fake one?) VS the expensive one (possible real?) VS a tempered one with the cheaper alternative. At least we know what happens to the cheaper one, and if the videos that people do are tempered with.

most tea “stains”. it’s just the natural colour in the leaves.

for the tea hack, its because the cheaper one is grounded finer so it steeps much quicker. the more expensive once is loose leaf and takes a much longer time,, I would redo this were the teas tested are both loose leaf or powder and see which stains more. plus artificial coloring and additives, at least in America, must be shown in the ingredient by law and I've never seen any that say coloring was added.

All butter contains oil 😂😂😂😂😂 they usually tell you the % on the back

The milks have different colour initially so I dont think the first experiment worked

Instead of mixing water in the cheap honey you should have done one like that, one with cheap honey without water( so that we can see if the cheap one already has water in it) and one with the expensive honey. Love your videos

You need to do 3 experiments. How are you supposed to know if the cheaper one is contaminated if you contaminate it yourself? 1 experiment that you contaminated, 1 cheap, and 1 expensive.

Fake honey was a really serious thing on the news last year. Companies were selling syrup

Just a friendly tip, if you want to really test if the seaweed thing in the video works you should try with just the 2 glasses of milk first, then add rice water to have 3rd sample basically. Same thing with the honey, if you add water from the beginning you won’t be able to tell if the cheap honey by itself is already diluted

*_takes bath with toaster to see if it’s real_*

This is not a great time to be colour blind😂❤️

6:30 What makes something liquid??? WATER! Wow I'm a genius! HAHAHA

I think you were supposed to use a different type of seaweed(dry)

The purple looking potato is called ube. The inside is naturally purple, it doesn't have any food coloring in it. But it can actually dye your hands purple.

Well I just want you to know that you can only find plastic rice in China. long time ago in Malaysia there were also a plastic rice sold in market it's was like 5kg for 7 MYR and that is more cheaper than the normal rice price which is 11 MYR for 5kg but now plastic rice has been banned in Malaysia

Wait... tea leaves are supposed to stain... when you put tea in water color comes off in the water 😂😂

A 30 minute video from Raphael? BLESSED😍❤️

:If this common food contains a extremely deadly chemical then it will turn green: Raphael: WOW I really want this to work

In our country, real milk that is freshly squeezed from a cow is cheaper than milks in supermarkets

And by the way, I appreciate that you spend time and money on this content. If people don't appreciate that, perhaps they should browse elsewhere.

“Either some bees are seriously getting paid and other not so much...or something sketchy is going on” 💀

Friend: there's a ghost in my house rn !! Raphael: okay... that's interesting, but like we got serious stuff going on Me: THERE'S A GHOST IN HER HOUSE!!!! WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT!!!!!

About the rice, white rice has cornflower mixed with it to make it look whiter. That's why you should always wash it before you use it and rinse it for a bit to let the cornflower wash away before cooking it.

Sugar will not turn pimknfrom oil. Think about it, don't we make cakes with sugar and oil? They're not pink either.

no one: raphael: *starts rubbing sweet potato in his lips*

A lot of them, he didn’t test it right. Like the butter and sugar.

Personally, I think, the milk lifehack or whatever it is works because: 1. Rice milk contains a lot of starch which turns blue/purple while reacting with iodine 2. Seaweed is highly in Iodine. So, nothing really extra happens. This is a simple reaction. But to see it you need seaweed juice - so cut it. Similar reaction you can see adding some iodine to potato. It will also turn blue because of starch.

I cant believe hes almost 33 he looks 20

“i dont know why people call this rice milk is basically water and rice, there’s no milk or nothing to make this like creamy or white or whatever” me: *face palm* 🤦🏼‍♀️

8:06 ‘I really want to make sure this is fair’ 2 minutes ago - adds water - 😂😂😂

If sugar and oil turned pink, cakes would turn pink.

Guys this video is from 5-6 months ago!!!!!!!!

*All the comments are so fresh like the expensive milk* Edit: *OMG 13 Likes that's a new record* Edit 2: *Oh dude chill 28 likes* Thanks for the -comments- *_likes_*

I preferred the last video you did, I think it’s more exciting to see whether the company’s are adding things into their products rather than you purposely adding it to see if the video is real. Super interesting though!

The reason for the different color milks can also be seen in pure cow's milk. The higher the fat, the creamier the color. If you were to compare Jersey cow milk (fat content higher than typical "whole milk") to 1% milk, the 1% would be a lot more white due to lack of fat content. ~i work with dairy cows for a living lol~

AHHH your pikachu chopsticks are soo adorable!!!

5:00 or the seaweed is fake CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Every normal person:*moisturizes with lotion Rhaphal:*moisturizes with a patato

Raphael: Ooh... Now's not the time to be colorblind. My heart shattered...

He is adding stuff because he is *testing the hacks* not checking these products in particular - especially since there would be a high possibility that he bought two products with/without the additives, colorings etc. regardless of the price points :?

“...this is not a great time to be colourblind” I LOST my shit lmao

The purple one is not totally a potato,its a yam,we call it here in Philippines ube,yam is a "kamote",yam is naturally purple,we use it as organic color in halo halo

The purple sweet potato is a delicacy in the Philippines. Used a lot for desserts, breads, waffles and pancakes! It’s called ube!

Upholstery Scissors? I see... For pizza.. Ahhhh okay. It looks like the scissors used to fix couches. Wax is used to keep the veg from rotting. Fyi you can dye clothing with 100% natural sweet potato skins. 😂Purple potato is delicious. Whole foods didnt dye them... That is just how the sweet potato do. There are 100's of different rices... Some expensive rices are stained with tea for color and flavour. Not one of these were helpful to find food spoofs... But you are entertaining.

Just wanna tell you, the fact is, rice water is healthy, rice water is like alternate of real milk

i dont get why youre adding stuff to the cheaper product. if its true that its got the stuff in it then there's no need to add more?? you could always get a third test subject (like the honey; do 3 bowls of honey. one the expensive, one the cheap, one the expensive mixed with water) and test it that way. otherwise you're corrupting the test

All of this could have been solved by looking at the ingredients on the back

You make good videos. I normally do Not watch stuff like this but you make it work. So good job at life. 👍
