Sounds like a NileRed video.
I wish he’d make a video on how to remove aspartame from diet soda and replace it with regular sugar so I can finally drink this stupid hard mountain dew I bought before I realized they idiotically ONLY released it in nasty zero sugar flavors
I’m the exact opposite actually. I never liked the taste of regular coke, too sweet, so I’ve been drinking Diet Coke since I was a kid. Drink a couple of liters per week (although I’ve cut down since inflation has made it cost as much as liquid gold). I dislike the fake sweet flavor of Coke Zero, but I love the more refreshing taste of Diet Coke. It’s like sparkling water with caffeine.
I do realize the taste of Diet Coke varies quite a lot over the world, but in Western Europe it tastes perfect for me.
I like regular “Mexican” coke we have here in the states, ig Coca-cola reduces the sugar used in Latin-america or something.
But I can taste the aspartame immediately and it disgusts me. It doesn’t come across as a “sugar, but less sweet” it comes across as “Trying to be sugar but tastes like a metallic chemical compound instead”
Mexican coke has cane sugar instead of corn syrup, which is the main factor in it being better.
HFCS, specifically, which is very different from corn syrup.
Corn syrup is about 60% as sweet as sugar, by weight. HFCS is more sweet by weight, (if I remember right), because of the concentration of fructose.
what is the deal with people saying aspartame is nasty? it tastes slightly different from sugar lol
To me, aspartame tastes plastic-y and reminds me of how hot asphalt smells. It has more of a chemical taste than a sweet one. Toothpaste gets a pass only because of all the mint that masks it.
Sucralose (Splenda) can taste rather like aspirin in the right concentration. Again, it’s “sweet” in a way but isn’t quite right.
it’s funny seeing people struggle to handle the fact that we and our food is primarily made of carbon and hydrogen, which is exactly what coal and other fossil fuels are made of as well.
this, and margarine in general, aren’t some horrid “chemical” product, it’s just carbon and hydrogen (and some other stuff) assembled into fat!
I envy the faith you have in process and quality control, especially knowing these products are produced by the profit seeking capitalist class who definitely do NOT feed it to their own families.
The problem with a lot of synthetics it produces molecules that are chirally or structurally different from the target molecules. People forget like WW2 is like 10-15 years after a bunch of people were poisoned by “wonder supplements” like radium. People should be skeptical of a WW2 recipe.
Holy shit, one kilo of butter from 60kg of coal?!
That’s some pretty spenny butter for “agreeable taste”
Especially when they had problems getting the coal they could mine, where it needed to be used.
They used something else instead…
Butter
I can’t believe it’s not coal!
