"they have internet in Kentucky?" Only on tuesdays, for five minutes, if the weather is nice and the critters haven't knocked the dish half a millimeter to the side again.
Matt in every ranking video: "Stop putting stories on the bottles! Just stawp!" Scottish Guy: "I love the stories on the bottles! Put the stories on all the bottles!" Matt: 🤦♂️
Big Red is orange, lemon, and vanilla flavored. It’s pretty much the only thing I drink since Coca-Colas started hurting my stomach. Big Red is huge in Louisville, Ky. That’s my neck of the woods
@@shandean8352 I grew up right across the river from you, in Southern Indiana and I loved Big Red. We don't have it in NC, but we have RC.. which is like a cruel cosmic joke.
@@braydenpaulk5079 blasphemous! Banned from All of North Carolina, parts of Louisiana and Mobile, AL. I mean you may not be banned from Mobile but if I catch you here I will be upset
He IS right about the unicorn...sorta The so called "Siberian unicorn" (though it was more of a rhino), existed until 39,000 years ago ranging from the Caucasus to Siberia. This is the origin of the unicorn myth. Unicorns symbolize the purity and power of Scottish monarchs, and like this beast, Scots would fight to remain unconquered
It's better known as the one horned rhino. That's what they called a unicorn in old times not today's distortion of a horse. Idk how we ended up with that wierd made up version.
We ended up with the horse version because sailors brought back horns from a narwhal and tell people tale tales about a horse unicorn to trick people. Unfortunately the joke became a myth that people believed.
I'm with the "where's RC" crowd. He needs an RC and a Moon Pie. (I doubt he's borderline diabetic, or he wouldn't have been drinking those other sugar-waters. Some of them are basically hummingbird syrup.)
I think the arm pain complaint may have been a reference to Covid vaccines. Alabama had a strong vaccine rollout and was ahead of the game for short while. Also notice in April there was a lot more contact between the cast members and seldom any reference to infection control? And please everyone, get vaccinated. I got my second Pfizer-Biontec shot from a National Guard nurse at the FEMA drive thru site in Houston back at the beginning of May. You can get shots literally everywhere with no wait now. Walmart has shots and nobody taking them. And get your kids vaccinated too. Let's crush this virus like proud Americans. I fear that if we hover around 50-60% vaccination the US may become the breeding ground of a resistant strain. Let's get close to 80% of adults and crush this. Victory is within our grasp.
@@jessiep2471 Absolutely but most people who aren't doing it aren't doing it because they don't wanna get poked not because of a legitimate medical reason
@@jessiep2471 Yes, and that's why I think 80% of adults is a reasonable goal along with an increasing number of kids as dosage rules are worked out. This leaves one in five able to claim reasonable exemption for medical reasons. What I fear is with half the nation fully vaccinated, and half not, the small percentage of low-grade infections in the vaccinated population will be a breeding ground for new strains. That's why we need to get to 70-80% of adults and a good chunk of teens, and later on, children. We need to get the "r" value around or under one. Every extra 1% helps.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet Yes, a target of 80% of people over sixteen is probably what we need to hold national Covid deaths to a hundred or so a day or even lower. This will hold r values around one or so. Eighty percent seems like a lot but it allows all the folks who have a legit medical claim an out. Maybe we need to have vaccine shaming PSA's where local celebrities dress in chicken suits and taunt the unvaccinated. I hate injections, but I got the shot. I wanted to play my part to ensure the collective freedom and safety of my fellow Americans.
Sundrop takes me back to my childhood, stopping at the bait shop with my dad with a cooler full of fish to show off. We'd always stop on the way home to get drinks and snacks. Funny, my dad would take a cooler of beer and ONE drink for me. Can't tell you how many times I had to drink a beer because it was all that was left by the time the sun was blazing hot and I was dying of thirst. My dad: "Don't tell your mama I gave you a beer!" Me: "I won't tell her you gave it to me if you won't tell her I drank it!" 😂😂 Those cold Sundrops were the best, though. 😊💜💚💛✌️
@@freschey Really? I never knew. I've seen it in Kentucky, I think, and Kansas, I'm pretty sure... Maybe it's just not an East Coast thing, and they are missing out.
"Big Red sounds like a character from like a prison biopic" 💀well he's not wrong But jokes aside, it's called that because a president of a bottling plant heard a golf caddy refer to the drink as Big Red. It used to be called Sun Tang Red Cream Soda
When I was a teenager, I discovered Sun Drop at camp, and thought it was AWESOME. Didn’t have it at home in Georgia though, so for years it was just a special camp memory. 🥰
The Scottish guy is not allowed in johnson city tennessee after saying dr. Enuff was not good. We love it so much that our favorite family fast food joint has it on tap.
I live in Clark county,Winchester Ky, the home town of Ale8's. We put this stuff in the babies bottles. I think they removed the drop of machine oil that made it taste better.. You either love it or hate it. Some call it swamp water, others green dragon..But no green fairies.
I was like I know he is not bashing my drink. When my Daddy goes back home to Tennessee I'm like please come back with a 24 pack of Krystal Burgers and my Dr.Enuf 🤤🤤🤤
@@somewhereoutthere8405 East Tennessee is where it is made and sold. I'm originally from Johnson City, TN and it's everywhere. They have diet and red(like mountain dew code red).
Yes! They always tend to lose me right out of the gate because I will be in love with whatever product he's trashing and it's like dang it I didn't even get through the video before he took me out😂
I grew up in Los Angeles, and in the Eagle Rock area there was (maybe still is? IDK because I now live far away) a great, somewhat large liquor/convenience store that specialized in sodas from all over the world. They had Sun Drop and it is indeed VERY good! Never saw Sun Drop anywhere else :-( We need to get more stores out here selling it!
There's an ACE Hardware affiliate in NW Houston, the largest in the country, that has a section devoted obscure and boutique soft drinks. Everything not Southern there tends to come from Chicago or New England. I've had some wild stuff there. Some Kroger stores in Texas have Sun Drop. I was delighted to find it because I grew a taste for it in college in Maryland in the late eighties.
I came here just to see if Big Red was included. It made my heart grow like the Grinch’s to see it was. Bonus points for adding that all sodas are called Coke. Btw, Big Red flavor is orange, lemon, and vanilla. It doesn’t taste like medicine or bubble gum, unless your medicine and bubble gum is orange, lemon, and vanilla flavored.
@@bruceleeroy872 my first big red was served on ice. My company commander had his wife sent a 6 pack of them to us, he shared them with us. He also gave me my first bowl of menudo on that deployment.
I have no idea why this showed up in my Google news feed but I'm laughing so hard at you guys doing each other's accents. 😂 I'm totally here for it! As someone raised both up north and down south this is great to watch. You've earned a new subscriber.
I live right outside Chattanooga in Cleveland and I drive to Fort Payne FREQUENTLY for my supply of Grapico!! Born and raises in TN and Grapico is by far my favorite drink!
Good for you Chris, after Matt dogged every Scottish snack you introduced to him, he needed a little payback. You were receptive to everything new introduced to you until after that and I get it. 😁
Yes, Dr. Enuf is expensive and there's only four in a pack. It's also offered in a cherry flavor also cherry sweetened with Splenda. Give that one a try next time.
I'm from Kentucky and the only thing that upsets me is your hate for Big Red. I grew up on it. Love it. After you said the grams of sugar it makes sense that everyone up here has the diabeetus.
How did you get through this without including the other iconic soda from Alabama, the whip-cracking dominatrix of ginger drinks, Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale? I feel like this is a good one to include, because there are such strong feelings about it, and folks either hate it or stalk it in the grocery store and keep stockpiles of it.
They have started having it in our Kroger. Don't know if it regional or now something Kroger carries. I used to have to go to Ky and bring back a case but now I can just grab it whenever.
When you search out all of Matt's taste test and you end up watching the same ones over and over. LOL! My husband and I love watching Matt's taste tests!!
Dr. Enuf was indeed created by a WW2 veteran. His name was Charles Gordon, and he was of Scottish descent himself. He was a highly decorated glider pilot who took part in the D-Day invasion at Normandy. He founded the Tri-Cities Bottling Company in Johnson City, TN.
When the Big Red came out, I involuntarily shuddered. I remember an interest campaign that came to NC several years back to see if the stuff would do well here. People we're giving out free samples to traffic waiting at the light, and taking down responses. The lack of Big Red around here years later shows how well it was received. 😂
@@BobPapadopoulos Many drinks have undergone significant changes through their lives. Just because it’s different now, doesn’t take away from where it came from. Gatorade wasn’t even drinkable when it was invented, but it is still known to have been born at the University of Florida, hence the name.
FWIW- at least half of Texas hates Big Red. Dr. Pepper is out goodness. But I can't believe you left out my favorite Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale. When I visit my daughter over in Alabama I make like the Bandit and load my car with at least 2-3 DOZEN 12packs of Buffalo Rock. The best coke known to humanity. (and I'm down to rationing my last 4 packs)
