You should do an episode about the weird history of Faygo and how it became the go-to drink of Juggalos. I can't think of anything beverage-related weirder than that, tbqh.
I grew up poor and loved Faygo unironically. Once I got to middle school I learned about ICP and how they drank Faygo.. the rabbit hole I went down learning how that connection formed 😂
Its a pretty good drink when you can find it in Canada at some of the British Ex-Pat stores.. Birch Beer and Sarsaparilla are a couple of others that are great but a bit hard to find these days.
I'm not buying it. I remember Crystal Pepsi and the massive marketing campaign behind it. In my observation the marketing ran its course and the product didn't have anything else to carry it. Sales tanked out of apathy more than anything else. I honestly don't remember Tab Clear even existing.
I would love to see a WHF on Moxie and other regional drinks like Sundrop, Cheerwine, and Buffalo Rock Southern Spice Ginger Ale (it'll take your breath away, folks). But especially Moxie -- I am nowhere near its New England origin, and yet I love it to bits because it hits one of my favorite flavor realms, licorice/anise, and vibes so hard in doing it. I'm also real interested in finding out about regional sodas from the western parts of our country that I've not yet had an opportunity to experience in person.
9:59 Shirley Manson, lead singer of the band Garbage, reportedly drinks "Earl Grey tea with a splash of milk" all the time. Garbage is one of my favorite bands.
It's another Weird History Food day! So cool to hear about different beverages and their stories. If possible, I would love to see a video on Mocha/Mocha Frappes
Great video, very refreshing! Can you guys make a video about jolt cola? That stuff really got you going💫⚡️✨ Keep up the great work and great content👍👍
When we were but wee kiddies, we always referred to orange juice as “Duck Juice” because of Donald Duck, and after almost 7 decades I still refuse to call it anything else! 🦆
I would be curious as to where you got those statistics from 65% seems kind of high to me. I live in rural America in a town of about 300 and only 2 people in this town, including myself, have live chickens. 😅
@@marvingecko1232 It's a guy I know that is a pilot and lives only a couple of blocks away. I saw a video of two girls going to a pumpkin patch with one going for the first time. The "pumpkin patch" was in a parking lot and there was no soil lol.
well, at least here in México, natives didn't consume milk, traditional chocolate is still prepared with water, that's the original prehispanic recipe as far as I've been told
There was a drink that was popular in the 90s i don’t remember the brand but each bottle had an element on it… earth, air, Fire and Water… I’d love to see a nostalgic video put up about my favorite beverage is from the 90s Thank you 😊
Ah yes snapple elements I think was the name, I think this is still sold. It was just normal snapple flavors plus a few unique ones in larger glass & nicer bottles. Fire was cinnamon with something else I think it was apple? it was like a really spicy apple pie its been so long. The true meme drink of the 90's was orbitz or wtv the drink with those little glob balls in it. Thus making it like you were drinking a laval lamp peak 90's peak silly ass marketing gimmick. There was also that brand of juice in large glass bottles with iguana(s) wearing sunglasses as a logo?? It that came in a bunch of cool flavors and colours. I remember one flavour being bright creamy pink making it look like strawberry milk I think it was strawberry&banana. Soba was the name? 90's had so many popular brands that came and went like jolt surge tab justa. Ok soda with its dozens og hipster art variants on the cans
9:22 Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003) & Kill Bill Volume 2 (2004) was THE film event of my last year while at the master's program at the University of Missouri.
Real interesting, Weird History Food. Real interesting. Im sitting here drinking a raspberry and peach blend. I hand picked peach and raspberry when they were in season and froze them
My uncle gerard said that his great great grandfather Solomon Kane, a jamaican farmer was routinely milking cows on 1410 to produce for cups of teas and coffees and specific liquers
Wait looking at Coca Cola site they state: In May 1886, Dr. John S. Pemberton, a pharmacist in Atlanta, Georgia, created the syrup for Coca‑Cola. Oh man how do I know how legit the content is on Weird History Food!
Ah yes back when Gatorade was actually healthy and promoted recovery post exercise. Unlike today where it has more sugar in one bottle than most people in third world countries consume in a year.
I do enjoy a lot of these new drinks and wish I could bring them back for more! If I could you know I'd do it but alas, I cannot. However, I really cannot and wish I could just to have the greatness of these wonderful treats. All I can do is be positive and wish for the best in the near future. Oh well... ❣️🤓
if you are wondering why Gater-aid was named Gater-aid its because of the University of Florida and its mascot. the first athletic team to benefit from it where the Florida Gaters
A modern use for cocoa powder is to scrub the stainless steel pipes in dairies... My father worked. Over nights at Wilmot dairies as a second job when I was first born...
Kool-Aid is never referred by the flavor of it. Just by the color. Red Kool-Aid, purple, Kool-Aid, etc. And for anyone that has ever said the phrase “don’t drink the Kool-Aid”, you are completely freaking wrong. It was flavor-aid that Jim Jones used to kill all them folks on his compound in Guyana. So get it right for their sake
I love orange juice [especially Flordia's Natural], and Chocolate Milk [even the techinically-not-chocolate-milk Yoo-Hoo] but I also enjoy an occasional cup of coffee. Those Wilkins Coffee ads made by Jim Henson of Muppets fame are hilarious! Very Looney Tunes-like in comedy! This was a fantastic video, Weird History, and I hope you'll cover more drinks [such as Yoo-Hoo] in the future, as well as M&Ms candies [including how Will Vinton Studio gave the spokescandies the designs and personalities we know them best for], and defunct restaurants [Burger Chef, Red Barn, Howard Johnson's]. When you eventually get to a Jack In The Box video, please talk about the 1970s animated characters, their merch [including the comics and records that are here on RU-vid], and the fact that Paul Winchell, voice of Tigger, did the voices.
5:09 Why is mixing cacao with milk and sugar a thing that natives "certainly did?" Both sugar and cows (and their milk) are from the old world. Both things that the colonizers would have had access to more than the natives. *Edit - a VERY quick search shows that the vast majority of Jamaican Taino natives had died out by the mid-16th Century. So, is this you just being sassy, or are you actively trying to provide inaccurate information?
i think natives also grew crops as in “three sisters” tecnique with squash and beans also sardines funnily enough were exported by barrels in colonial america out my region then
@@chromicapop4595 Though I don't quite get what you're saying -- you're not incorrect: the "three sisters" are a marvel of mankind's ingeniousness. But I don't see how that's relevant to my original comment.
First European contact with the americas was in the late 15th century and Sloane was not with the Spanish on those voyages. Hans Sloane 1660-1753. Your fact checkers are sleeping on the job.
All I know that is weird is that Ben Shaw's (A much loved small soft drinks maker from the north of the UK) always made sure that at least some of the water in the drinks came from the original spring that they started out with.
Imagine if other companies tried the Coca-Cola "absence makes the consumer fonder" approach. Like "New Charmin" and it's sandpaper. The people would be clamoring for Charmin to bring back Charmin Classic immediately! 😂
Seeing the SpongeBob got milk commercial shook me a bit not gonna lie 😅 after it was lost for so long, whenever I see it, I am like “OMG THATS IT!” and then I have to remind myself it’s been found lol
Well. I'm surprised you included the Fidel Castro new coke story but not the General Zhukov clear coca cola story General Zhukov was instrumental in the Soviet union, especially in fighting against the Nazis. He loved coca cola. He had coca cola imported sort of secretly to him in the Soviet union, but just requested they didn't add the dyes so he could claim it was carbonated vodka Stalin probably knew but zhukov was otherwise loyal and insanely popular after WW2. So, in essence, clear coca cola existed before clear Pepsi. But they were producing it as a special deal to keep clandestine relations open with the Soviet military open during the cold war And the US and Soviet governments most likely both knew about it and benefited from it Meanwhile, fanta used coca cola factories that were abandoned by the American company during the sanctions of WW2 bc they would not want to be seen as Nazi collaborators.
mixing milk with sugar and cacao was almost certainly something the indigenous people already did? How? When neither cows milk, sugar, nor cocoa are indigenous to Jamaica?
Since I live in the town where Kool-Aid was invented, I know you got a couple points wrong. Edwin Perkins may have been born in Iowa, but since he moved to Nebraska at the age of four, we kind of lay claim to him. The drink was originally called Fruit Smack, and did come in glass bottles, but after making the powdered form, he changed the name to Kool-Ade. Some government agency told him he had to change the name, because the “-Ade” implied there was fruit juice in it, and there was not. Edwin Perkins is fondly remembered here, and has a number of buildings that bear his name. If you ever pass through Hastings, the Hastings Museum has a nice Kool-Aid exhibit on the ground floor that is worth seeing.
It’s specious reasoning to think the natives would have most certainly have mixed milk and cacao. You would think they most certainly have had something as simple as a wheel but yet they didn’t.
A&W premiered in 1919? That's hilarious, because A&W is my favorite root beer, and possibly my favorite soda overall, from among the common massmarket brands... but my favorite brand of root beer (and probably soda again), period, is actually called 1919 Root Beer. It costs about twice as much, but it's a bargain even at that price because of how good it is.
Um, Hans Sloane lived from 1660-1753, NOT the late 1400s, LOL! And the native most certainly did NOT ass milk OR sugar to their chocolate drinks before Europeans! WTF!
The origin of root beer surprises me. No wonder she says root beer tastes medicinal but she doesn’t care for the sweetness of Coke either. She prefers however TJ’s organic sugar laden juices that have 40 grams of sugar. She thinks there a healthier choice.
