I think you might be confusing it with Durian, just like TIFO with that second picture. That's purely conjecture though, I've never seen a Jackfruit before this video.
I love Juicy Fruit... but I never actually considered whether it actually had fruit. I just assumed it was delicious artificial flavoring (a.k.a. sweet-tasting chemicals).
nimay13 lol why would they even show a picture of a durian when they're talking about jackfruits. Just look at the flesh. To the people who can't understand my statement (it's my fault) I was telling Today I Found Out how to diffentiate a durian and a jackfruit.
I noticed this too. Funny thing is, going to Google and searching "Jackfruit" brings up several rows of jackfruits before a durian finally shows up. The kicker is that it's a side by side comparison with a lady holding a durian and a jackfruit in each hand. He worked hard to make that mistake.
The second photo of jackfruit aren't jackfruits. They're Durians, which are harder and have stiffer, bigger spikes in general, that hurt. Jackfruits are softer and the spikes don't really hurt. And jackfruits don't really taste anything like juicy fruit
I had jackfruit trees when I lived in the Philippines. I thought that they tasted like Juicy Fruit the 1st time I tasted it and forgot about it until this video. THANKS! Now I'm craving jackfruit- guess I'll have to chew a pack of Juicy Fruit.
Dude it tastes amazing it just smells awful. Also the word your looking for is vile, volatile could be used to describe things that are dangerously sensitive such as people, explosives, and chemicals. Vile is used to describe things that are awful, typically a smell or a taste but sometimes people or actions.
jay fawn one thing about jackfruits is that you need to eat something else before eating jackfruit as the chemical stated will cause stomachache as well as durian
Simon's become so interactive and enjoyable to watch. Moving a little as opposed to staying still as a board is a key method to keep the users attention. Keep up the good work 👍
I tried it once. My first thought was that it had spoiled. Nothing fresh should smell like that. True, it tasted better than it smelled, but I really couldn't get past the odor and texture.
JandJandJandJandJ I love clove gum, not sure why you have it capitalized and in quotes, it's not a brand name or a nickname, it's gum, with cloves. Anyway, I don't see how juicy fruit could taste like cloves...
Uh...why do companies have the right to not tell us all the ingredients in their food? The only reason I can think of is "secret ingredients" but they're not so secret, really, if everyone can literally consume them at will, so I think its worth mentioning for allergy-sake?
there will be governing bodies which are privvy to the information, they will determine whether or not the secret is dangerous for the public or not. otherwise i'd be able to sell a secret ingredient which is actually poison and claim that was the intent and it wasn't my fault so many people didn't know what was in it, if it's a secret you don't know about, you're risking everything. notice when times of food produce have been contaminated, it's been noticed by officials or unlucky public consumers, the original product being advertised wasn't dangerous so it was sold and regulated, sometimes these human errors occur and we get lazy, not inspecting the later batches properly. if juicy fruit had anything dangerous in it, don't you think, after 100 years someone somewhere would have proven it was dangerous? everything we consume, secret or not HAS TO BE INSPECTED with no exceptions. the people at wrigleys can and probablyhave issued contracts and clauses through law demanding the secret be kept by whoever discovers it. i agree, secrets are weird and we buy products from certain people/companies because they do it best. i like kfc every now and then. their secrets don't bother me, i like their food. some ripoff kfc food is horrible, and rarely nice for different reasons. the same can be said for domino's, secrets there too, i don't care, they make great pizza, in fact, the first time i ate domino's (about a year ago cos i could afford it and it moved near me) made me realise how nice a pizza can be. i don't get other pizzas anymore, they aren't as good. it's the same for real chinese food, it can be really nice and the knock off is just a failed immitation. TL:DR who cares, we'd know if it was dangerous after 100 years. governments know what's in it.
+swanclipper Horse shit. Name the "governing bodies," and who has access to the information. Substances can also be generally "safe," but dangerous to people with allergies. There are people who can die from eating an apple.
+Joanna D At 1:52 that is most definitely durian. Tony Do-ge might have gotten the timing wrong. www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-durian-and-jackfruit
Actually (I did Google 'cause it sounded familiar to me as I've found I have a tree of that particular "fruit" in my backyard on a suburbia home) that is JACKFRUIT or as we call it in Puerto Rico, PANAPEN. BTW, PANAPEN is NOT MEANT to be eaten raw, unlike other fruits. Basically it can replace potatoes or other starchy roots on quite a few recipies. Can be sweet enough so you could make custard dessert (flan) with sugar syrup (my mom used to make a good one) or "bread pudding" out of JACKFRUIT if it's ripe enough and after cooking fully. But mostly, it's either boiled with starchy roots (taro / yautía, cassava / yuca...) and olive oil to accompany boiled salted cod fish or pollock or thinly sliced and fried into "country fries". JACKFRUIT doesn't smell near as bad as DURIAN. PS: So JUICYFRUIT is kinda' a PANAPEN-flavored gum... who knew?
While you may use jackfruit as a replacement for starch, I can tell you jackfruit can be eaten raw like other fruits (of course, not the outer skin, but the yellow flesh inside). In fact, that's how I (and everyone else in the vicinity) have been eating jackfruit. Unless the jackfruit that grows in India is different than the jackfruit that grows in Puerto Rico.
I love how the maker of something you chew is not required to tell you what's in it... "Here, have a stick of asbestos... I mean BubbleYum! Also, I don't know what juicy fruit tastes like, but whenever someone else was chewing it, I thought it smelled like the pine tar that baseball players use.
Living in Chicago all my life. I started chewing juicy fruit gum around 1955. The flavor and smell is the same. I also love Wrigley’s spearmint chewing gum.
Bonus Fact: The founder of the Wrigley Gum Co. was also the founder and first owner of the Chicago Cubs. That's why their long-time home is called Wrigley Field.
I was experimenting with new hop combinations for India Pale Ales last year, and discovered quite by accident that the hop combination of Amarillo and Nelsen Sauvin hops along with my house IPA grainbill tasted amazingly like a Juicy Fruit beer. isoamyl acetate indeed is mentioned as a ester associated with many "fruity" hops.
Hi there, please note that the second picture used for jackfruit (starting 1.51) is NOT jackfruit at all, but rather, that infamous pungent smellbomb, durian. Jackfruit skin is rough but still easy to hold whereas durian has actual spikes. Jackfruit flesh tends to be firm and tears off in strips (imagine how cooked crab is like). Durian is usually soft and custard-like. Otherwise, nice video! Doesn't answer the question but there's some interesting trivia here.
I made a similar flavor with e-juice concentrates by accident, after adding Concorde Grape flavor it really began to take the form of yellow wrapper juicy fruit. I also found grape and raspberry to be the beginnings of classic bubblegum, i thought about adding pear to it but i ran out so i never tested further with this one.
Isoamyl acetate by itself can not be the flavor of Juicy Fruit gum. It's distinctive smell would immediately give it away. Banana runts and popsicles are flavored with isoamyl acetate, and taste quite different from Juicy Fruit.
So... what is in Juicy fruit gum then? I thought that was the point of this video. Surely someone can run a series of chemical tests to find out if said stuff is in it or not?
I remember making isoamyl acetate in the lab while I was in school. You wouldn't believe how much that stuff smells when you have 30 students cooking it at the same time.
Raven Barickman most jackfruit that's imported to western countries are usually removed from the tree when it's way too young especially when its transported in refrigeration. unriped jackfruit are so bitter and sticky in your mouth people in asia usually use the baby jackfruit for salad or vegetable dishes with seasonings. riped jackfruit usually has the color orange yellowish and it's very sweet but don't mistake the fruit in it with the inside fruit shell because those aren't very tasty. also canned jackfruit is hella nasty and smell way too sweet as if they addes extra sugar to the preservative mix.
I have been wondering forever what jackfruit tasted like, because they are so large it is a big thing to throw away if you don't like it. Thanks for the heads up!
I remember when gum was $0.05 a pack of five sticks, does that make me old? Find out how small toilet tissue has become over the years in comparison to say a few decades ago.
Back in the 80s, Dierbergs stores carried a soda called Champagne Brus, I think it was from Norway or Sweden. I tried it and it tasted exactly like liquid juicy fruit gum.
Rodney Kingston - look for "champagne cola" which is the drink you are thinking of. Caribbean stores are a great place to find it. most common brand in Canada is "Grace"
A few years ago, soda companies in Norway had to stop using the word champagne in their sodas' names in the early 2000s because of reactions from France, apparently only sparkling wine made by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier grapes in the Champagne district in France is allowed to carry the name Champagne. We still unofficially call the sodas with that flavour champagne brus, even though the soda can't legally carry that name anymore.
Champagne cola, unlike champagne brus, is not subject to EU regulations which forced the name change on Scandinavian sodas, as it's not produced by any countries affected by EU legislation. Champagne brus was a real thing until 2004-2005 though.
I actually have an EXTREMELY old stick of juicyfruit gum my buddy found in a couch cushion.... looks like it's from the 70's or 80's lol And it has the same consistency of the old gum that came in baseball cards back then, which means i think it's completely dried out... and old... lol
Isoamyl acetate is the same chemical bees give off as an alarm pheromone. "When exposed to this chemical there is an increase in production of both dopamine and serotonin levels in the central brain, which in turn leads to an increased desire to attack and sting."- Bob Yirka Beekeepers know to never eat a banana around their beehives. I learned all of this because I chew Juicy Fruit religiously and I wondered why the bees were agitated when I was chomping on it years ago. (I don't do that anymore) lol
@ William Tseng: You're absolutely correct. I've eaten a lot of durian, both in Thailand and here in the U.S., and that photo is of a durian stand, probably on the streets of Bangkok. It's one small flaw in an otherwise great video. I think we can cut Simon just a bit of slack on this one. :)
pro-tip, you can't draw conclusions from speculation. As stated in the video "Wrigley won't confirm what exactly is in the product." Thus you can't say 100% sure you know what is in it.
There are many things we can't say with 100% certainty- in fact a huge amount of history is covered in that brush- but it doesn't mean we can't draw reasonable conclusions from the known facts.
Except it did. Since the gum explicitly ADVERTISED it had an *"artificial flavor"*.....and its original location in a whiskey producing region, that produced a by-product that had the exact taste of Juicy Fruit.....so, yeah. Don't be pedantic.
Very interesting! Those persons who won't accept that let's say vanillin from vanilla and vanillin from the chemical reactor are just exactly the same...
Thank you. I've always been annoyed by people who claim "natural" is better than synthesized even if they are the exact same molecule. I've tried to explain that often "natural" solutions, like plants, herbs, etc. may contain trace elements and compounds not desired. For example, plants may absorb mercury or cyanide from water and soil, and thus your "natural" product contains harmful elements. Like Rhubarb, the stalks taste great and the leafs cause kidney failure. Whereas, deriving the molecule produces a purer product with known concentration. If it's chemically the same, no matter how its produced, its the same.
Max Power -- Right. There are even some people who get hot and bothered about Insulin from genetically engineered bacterial (or yeast) cultures. Although this is exactly the same they produce in their pancreas. They stay with their belief it's bad even when they are told that the animal insulin used earlier had serious side effects. Until they get diabetes themselves, that is :-D
ozdergecko It's like GMO foods. We have been consuming GMOs for 1000's of years. The fruit and vegetables we eat today don't resemble those of 1000+ years. Apples are probably the best example; natural apples are horrendous, absolutely disgusting. Then the tasty macintosh came around and we kept planting it's saplings. Then we grafted saplings to get ALLLL the other varieties. Corn is another easy example, we modified it by cross breeding to get stable, hearty, short stalked corn. People just don't understand science and they fear what they don't understand.
The horrendous mutations leading to the varieties of Brassica oleracea we eat today (brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, cale, broccoli,...) might be the most extreme example of what classical breeding can do. Here in Europe, GMO foods are forbidden due to pressure groups. Partly because we us small fields with crop rotation which needs far less pesticides. Thus the possible dangers of the features engineered into the plants by crossing out into wild plants are much bigger and not well understood. I worked as a plant molecular biologist for a few years, but in a very harmless area ;-) -- "ah, you are making those horror plants..." was something I heard every now and then.
They don't pronounce R if it's in the middle of the sentence. They say "uth" and "wuld" instead of "earth" and "world." They call it a "soft R," but I can't hear it at all. Some use W. They'll say "stoh-wees" and "a-wee-uh" instead of "stories" and "area."
J L. That's a good point. I only listen to BBC documentaries videos. Are you saying the hosts and guests of these videos only represent 1% of how people talk in england? I'm really curious, so please answer.
snow man sounds like they're either from Yorkshire or have a speech impediment like Johnathon Ross. Unless we're both reading what you wrote in a different way
This often happens if the final letter of a word ends with a vowel and the following word begins with a vowel. For example: America (r)is large. Elision is where we join two words to make them sound as one, often omitting a sound 'British shores' would only be pronounced with one /sh/ sound
The second picture of Jackfruit of the 3 pictures used is actually a fruit called a Durian. The outsides are similar as they both have spiky shells, though the Durian has a rank stench and is much smaller than the Jack fruit shell. Durian fruit looks like a big white bean shape, but tastes like garbage. Jackfruit, the actual fruit part of it at least is a banana peel yellow color, sticky and tastes very sweet almost like an overly sweet banana. The fruit itself is also unusual as it can be peeled apart several times over easily and has the texture and look of shiny rubbery plastic. Its a very delicious fruit and fairly good for you to eat.
Never have looked up juicy fruit on the internet but today I bought a pack for the first time in years and I come home and this video is in my recommended
Andrew Reid No it's not; durians and jackfruit are very similar but durian has much more prominent 'spikes' whereas jackfruit have smaller less protruding spikes.
Haha! I know the answer to this. I live in Jamaica and the fruit used for Wrigley's juicy fruit is very common here. The fruit used is called a Jackfruit. Now that I have enlighten your darkness dont just sit there.... Applaud! 👏👏👏👏
In defense of listing simply "natural and artificial flavors", sometimes several hundred ingredients are mixed to produce just >one< flavor, many flavors may be used in one recipe. These go through insane quality control and regulation, the FDA knows whats in there...
No, jack fruit and durian are very different fruits. Jack fruit smells fairly good and doesn't taste too bad. Durian smells like Sulphur and tastes god awful, unless you are my wife, who happens to be Thai and loves the disgusting stuff.
Ratchmaster Andrew Reid No it's not; durians and jackfruit are very similar but durian has much more prominent 'spikes' whereas jackfruit have smaller less protruding spikes.
there are several cannabis strains that have bubblegum flavors including some that are "distinctingly Juicy Fruit" so it might just be a single terpene (just as all the citrus-flavor cannabis strains have high levels of limonene)

@@JavierFernandez01 &
It's a shame that it only lasts 1/10th of a fucking instant.
ikr, i wanna get me some jack fruit now.
Xenro66 jack fruits not all tgat good. and really stinks! lol
I think you might be confusing it with Durian, just like TIFO with that second picture. That's purely conjecture though, I've never seen a Jackfruit before this video.
Linkaru yeah I think you're right. I never seen jaka "durian" seeds/Pitts so big though. Look huge on the durian
Xenro66 so true we called it 2 second gum
I love Juicy Fruit... but I never actually considered whether it actually had fruit. I just assumed it was delicious artificial flavoring (a.k.a. sweet-tasting chemicals).
if the flavour could last longer than 5 minutes that would be great
clubbing baby seals it last 5 sec, where the fuck do you get juciefruit test last 5 minutes?
+Rainbow Dash same, 7 secs if very lucky
maybe try buy a jackfruit? if they really tast the same then that's what I'm gonna do next time I see one lol
seriously, that's why i dont even bother with this gum
clubbing baby seals ye XD
Now I'm just curious to try Jackfruit.
Figureight Jackfruit is awesome.
Why the fuck are you here unnoticed?
Figureight Do Not Eat The Seeds
It is not very impressive
Me too man
1:52 That is a picture of a Durian, previous photo was the Jackfruit.
I was looking for this comment
Same. Lol how did they fuck that up so bad..
It is a common mistake, as both are exotic fruits outside of Asia.
THAT is not an excuses, like at ALL ! There are plenty "exotic fruits outside of Asia"
sorry, I am trying to posit an explanation. There is no need to be a troll about this!
I wish Juicy Fruit would make a soda
try moxie
Marcus Collins You from Maine too? New England at least, I would assume?
Redbull
I immediately got thirsty.
There is a soda with that flavor.
Second pic of "jackfruit" is durian. Today I found that out.
nimay13 lol why would they even show a picture of a durian when they're talking about jackfruits. Just look at the flesh.
To the people who can't understand my statement (it's my fault) I was telling Today I Found Out how to diffentiate a durian and a jackfruit.
Hugo Lin yes it is durian, my country have both jackfruit and durian and sec pic is durian
Hugo Lin A durian was shown you doofus fuckwit.
Leong Jh yes, i know it a durian, Ed.
Iggy Tubmen can i see some tain?
Where the zebra gum lovers at?
is the ink found in the washable tattoos a great source of vitamins and nutrients?
Hell yeah!
zebra gum is fucking amazing its to bad the flavor dissappears entirely after chewing it about 10 times.
I do love me some fruit stripe, but yeah, that flavor goes away so fast
To be fair, even juicy fruit hasn't overcome that issue.
Who else has this guy in their recommended for no reason
There's always a reason. I was watching videos about retro military rations.
It all makes sense now!
what a coincidence...
***** They're educational videos about vintage consumable products.
Lucas Melo they are both questionably edible products that one would rather be without with better alternatives at hand?
Do people actually like this gum?
The flavor lasts a whole 5 minutes.
Westile seconds
Westile you're right
Westile It's good while it lasts.
5 minutes Is enough for me...
Most of the time i just dump an entire pack in my mouth to get the largest ammount of flavour out of it but its nice
The flavor that lasts for 40 seconds
second picture of "jackfruit" is actually a picture of durians. trust me, im from singapore, we have a lot of durians here. and jackfruits too.
LostSoul XI Same
I noticed this too. Funny thing is, going to Google and searching "Jackfruit" brings up several rows of jackfruits before a durian finally shows up. The kicker is that it's a side by side comparison with a lady holding a durian and a jackfruit in each hand. He worked hard to make that mistake.
Do you have Juicy Fruit gum
Singapore may have durians and jackfruit, but they have no gum.
They're illegal there.
It's a shame that gum is illegal in Singapore, I'd definitely try Durian flavoured gum....the ice-cream is yum as.
This channel grants me questions I never knew I had.
Glad you're liking it :-)
Thanks!
The second photo of jackfruit aren't jackfruits. They're Durians, which are harder and have stiffer, bigger spikes in general, that hurt. Jackfruits are softer and the spikes don't really hurt. And jackfruits don't really taste anything like juicy fruit
I have a feeling they know that and it was a troll to see how many people commented on it, and they then laugh at them for falling for it.
Yep i noticed that too durian does not smell or taste good
calls it jackfruit, shows a picture of DURIAN... smfh
That is Jackfruit. Durian has larger pointy bits.
i know the 1 picture is jackfruit, the next one he shows is durian
1:59
Devower Ah yes you're right. Those are Durian.
Oh good, I was like isn't that Durian? I saw a lot of those in Thailand. Glad someone else said it so I didn't feel like I remembered it wrong.
I had jackfruit trees when I lived in the Philippines. I thought that they tasted like Juicy Fruit the 1st time I tasted it and forgot about it until this video. THANKS! Now I'm craving jackfruit- guess I'll have to chew a pack of Juicy Fruit.
the pictures at 1:59 and 1:51 are two different fruits. The second one is durian and is absolutely volatile.
Chase H. Volatile?
Vile...you mean vile.
I've eaten durian, claims of the offensive odor are completely over blown. The flavor of durian is waaay more wild then the smell.
Dude it tastes amazing it just smells awful. Also the word your looking for is vile, volatile could be used to describe things that are dangerously sensitive such as people, explosives, and chemicals. Vile is used to describe things that are awful, typically a smell or a taste but sometimes people or actions.
Chase H. No it’s jackfruit not durian
jackfriut smells so good and sweet . durian is complete opposite it smells like dead rat and ammonia. stomachache the whole day
jay fawn one thing about jackfruits is that you need to eat something else before eating jackfruit as the chemical stated will cause stomachache as well as durian
Funny, I love durian, while jackfruit has an off putting essence like unwashed jock.
These two fruits are special because their smell are different following people's noses

Your second picture of "jackfruit" is actually DURIAN, which smells like blue cheese and burnt car brakes wrapped in gym socks.
i like blue cheese and the various race track smells, but not socks
would you recommend it?
To me, it smells like burned plastic with rotten onions and garlic. It tastes good tho.
I tried it once. My first thought was that it had spoiled. Nothing fresh should smell like that. True, it tasted better than it smelled, but I really couldn't get past the odor and texture.
MY FAVORITE!!!
talking about jack fruit, shows durian at 2:01
Bourbon-flavored gum sounds fucking amazing.
3rdOfficerTaylor
It is.
Not really. It tastes more like... well fruit.
3rdOfficerTaylor
I meant that bourbon-flavored gum is great.
I just chew gum with my bourbon. It's surprisingly tantalizing.
Pretty sure at 1:51 you're showing Durian.
Yuck, durian gum!
Nope. At one of my nearby markets they sell both jackfruit and durian, and they are side by side and you can tell the difference.
Oh wait, you are talking about the market pic.
Luke Hero durian looks WAYY different
Do a Google image search for Durian, and one for Jackfruit. Now compare. Durian has larger spikes like that at 1:52 (market photo).
i only came for the glass of juicy fruit juice tbh
im not sure if this guy could have said juicy fruit any more in this video...
Juicy fruit...
Im sorry but at 2:03 you guys show a picture of durian, not jackfruit. They are VERY different
Yeah because Durian smells like ass.
Couldn't you just do a GC/MS analysis to see what it is?
You should learn that in good writing you avoid using "it." What is "it"? Well it's fucking juicy fruit.
there's a Wrigley factory here, you can smell juicy for miles when they cook it up.
Tim W my god
I always thought it tasted like this gum that my grandfather used to cover up his cigarette breath with called "Clove Gum".
JandJandJandJandJ I love clove gum, not sure why you have it capitalized and in quotes, it's not a brand name or a nickname, it's gum, with cloves. Anyway, I don't see how juicy fruit could taste like cloves...
You sure it's not a brand name, I have seen it quite a lot and everywhere I've seen it, it is capitalized.

everything we consume, secret or not HAS TO BE INSPECTED with no exceptions. the people at wrigleys can and probablyhave issued contracts and clauses through law demanding the secret be kept by whoever discovers it.
i agree, secrets are weird and we buy products from certain people/companies because they do it best. i like kfc every now and then. their secrets don't bother me, i like their food. some ripoff kfc food is horrible, and rarely nice for different reasons. the same can be said for domino's, secrets there too, i don't care, they make great pizza, in fact, the first time i ate domino's (about a year ago cos i could afford it and it moved near me) made me realise how nice a pizza can be. i don't get other pizzas anymore, they aren't as good. it's the same for real chinese food, it can be really nice and the knock off is just a failed immitation.

who cares, we'd know if it was dangerous after 100 years. governments know what's in it.

+swanclipper Horse shit. Name the "governing bodies," and who has access to the information. Substances can also be generally "safe," but dangerous to people with allergies. There are people who can die from eating an apple.

Actually (I did Google 'cause it sounded familiar to me as I've found I have a tree of that particular "fruit" in my backyard on a suburbia home) that is JACKFRUIT or as we call it in Puerto Rico, PANAPEN.
BTW, PANAPEN is NOT MEANT to be eaten raw, unlike other fruits. Basically it can replace potatoes or other starchy roots on quite a few recipies.
Can be sweet enough so you could make custard dessert (flan) with sugar syrup (my mom used to make a good one) or "bread pudding" out of JACKFRUIT if it's ripe enough and after cooking fully. But mostly, it's either boiled with starchy roots (taro / yautía, cassava / yuca...) and olive oil to accompany boiled salted cod fish or pollock or thinly sliced and fried into "country fries".
JACKFRUIT doesn't smell near as bad as DURIAN.
PS: So JUICYFRUIT is kinda' a PANAPEN-flavored gum... who knew?
While you may use jackfruit as a replacement for starch, I can tell you jackfruit can be eaten raw like other fruits (of course, not the outer skin, but the yellow flesh inside).

Otherwise, nice video! Doesn't answer the question but there's some interesting trivia here.
Why tf is a slim pack of juicy fruit over 100 dollars!?!!!?!
What do you mean?
zawzero there is an advert below the vid I'm on iPhone and the gum is over 100 dollars
The Gibberino
Ah ok, no clue. I do not see ads no do i use my phone for YT.
its for 120 packs of it, read the link
jesus I did lol
I made a similar flavor with e-juice concentrates by accident, after adding Concorde Grape flavor it really began to take the form of yellow wrapper juicy fruit.
I also found grape and raspberry to be the beginnings of classic bubblegum, i thought about adding pear to it but i ran out so i never tested further with this one.
Isoamyl acetate by itself can not be the flavor of Juicy Fruit gum. It's distinctive smell would immediately give it away. Banana runts and popsicles are flavored with isoamyl acetate, and taste quite different from Juicy Fruit.
Bob Grimminger .... and air freshener. Not that you would eat air freshener.
Ha! Those are 2 flavours that I absolutely HATE the most! I guess it's the isoamyl acetate, yes?
hm..why do you show durian when you are talking about jackfruit? lol
1:51. This irritates the hell out of me
Long Lee yes that fruit stinks to high heaven
Long Lee yes that fruit stinks to high heaven
That's not a durian. It may look similar to it but it's a jackfruit.
There is "A" photo of durian in the middle of the video. Have you even watched the whole thing?
So... what is in Juicy fruit gum then? I thought that was the point of this video.
Surely someone can run a series of chemical tests to find out if said stuff is in it or not?
Most likely a byproduct of whiskey. Though, by now they probably synthesize it themselves.
Most likely a byproduct of whiskey. Though, by now they probably synthesize it themselves.
The way you typed "Though, by now they probably synthesize it themselves." made me think of the Deus Ex game for some reason lol
I remember making isoamyl acetate in the lab while I was in school.
You wouldn't believe how much that stuff smells when you have 30 students cooking it at the same time.
Today i found out, nothing.
The Krowing I'm emotionally constipated. ..haven't given a shit in years!
I've been chewing it my whole life, and now they got more flavors!
Woah! Moby has a TH-cam channel?
Casey Rauchwarter HA! Nice.
Casey Rauchwarter holy fuck how'd you notice other than me?
haha hey! i thought that to

Jack fruit is amazing, I had one a few months ago for the first time and it definitely tastes like Juicy fruit!
one of that pictures showed durian, not jack fruit. 1:52
I had jackfruit recently, and it tasted and smelled like a man barfed cherries onto a heap of rotting garlic.
Raven Barickman Your senses are twisted.
I don't know about you, but jackfruit is so good, especially fully ripe jackfruit yum
Honestly, I expected it to taste really good, but it didn't. It was probably un ripe.
Raven Barickman most jackfruit that's imported to western countries are usually removed from the tree when it's way too young especially when its transported in refrigeration. unriped jackfruit are so bitter and sticky in your mouth people in asia usually use the baby jackfruit for salad or vegetable dishes with seasonings. riped jackfruit usually has the color orange yellowish and it's very sweet but don't mistake the fruit in it with the inside fruit shell because those aren't very tasty. also canned jackfruit is hella nasty and smell way too sweet as if they addes extra sugar to the preservative mix.
You got an over ripe one. Any fruit smells like shit when it's past it's prime.
1:51 is a picture of durian not jackfruit
francois dinauto u mean 1:51 cuz the first pic is jackfruit
Mine_Zone im an asian, and these fruit are very familiar to me
Minh Vu Jackfruit has studs however Durians have hard cone spikes
francois dinauto the smells are also different, Durian smells sth is horrible for some ppl but some like it
Minh Vu durian sometimes can smell like alcohol, diesel or sweet smelling
Today I found out that Simon whistler can't tell the difference between a jackfruit and a durian.
your second picture or jackfruit was a picture of durian.
The second picture was durian not Jackfruit
Liam Teehan that's what i said
I have been wondering forever what jackfruit tasted like, because they are so large it is a big thing to throw away if you don't like it. Thanks for the heads up!
This video certainly was a long-winded way to say "I don't know".
The few times I have had "tutti-fruti" it reminded me of Juicy Fruit gum. Also, Pyrat XO rum has a similar flavor.
I remember when gum was $0.05 a pack of five sticks, does that make me old?

The fruits at the 2:00 mark are durians, not jackfruits.
Back in the 80s, Dierbergs stores carried a soda called Champagne Brus, I think it was from Norway or Sweden. I tried it and it tasted exactly like liquid juicy fruit gum.
Rodney Kingston - look for "champagne cola" which is the drink you are thinking of. Caribbean stores are a great place to find it. most common brand in Canada is "Grace"
A few years ago, soda companies in Norway had to stop using the word champagne in their sodas' names in the early 2000s because of reactions from France, apparently only sparkling wine made by Chardonnay, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier grapes in the Champagne district in France is allowed to carry the name Champagne.
We still unofficially call the sodas with that flavour champagne brus, even though the soda can't legally carry that name anymore.
Champagne cola, unlike champagne brus, is not subject to EU regulations which forced the name change on Scandinavian sodas, as it's not produced by any countries affected by EU legislation. Champagne brus was a real thing until 2004-2005 though.
I actually have an EXTREMELY old stick of juicyfruit gum my buddy found in a couch cushion.... looks like it's from the 70's or 80's lol
And it has the same consistency of the old gum that came in baseball cards back then, which means i think it's completely dried out... and old... lol
Holy shit, is that Moby?!
wtf thats a durian not a jackfruit.
WTF??? TIFO got the two stock photos mixed up.
hahah i know right? and jackfruit taste like juicy fruit? hahah this video is crap
The juice lasts 25 seconds
If you watched Home Improvement, you may recall the No Dinner Dinner. What Simon just gave us was a No-answer answer.
Would that also explain why the flavor tastes approximately 5 nanoseconds?
Isoamyl acetate is the same chemical bees give off as an alarm pheromone. "When exposed to this chemical there is an increase in production of both dopamine and serotonin levels in the central brain, which in turn leads to an increased desire to attack and sting."- Bob Yirka Beekeepers know to never eat a banana around their beehives. I learned all of this because I chew Juicy Fruit religiously and I wondered why the bees were agitated when I was chomping on it years ago. (I don't do that anymore) lol
Fairly certain the picture at 1:52 are durians and not jackfruit.
haha! i was wondering why was the durian picture is doing there! durian gum. yummmm
@ William Tseng: You're absolutely correct. I've eaten a lot of durian, both in Thailand and here in the U.S., and that photo is of a durian stand, probably on the streets of Bangkok. It's one small flaw in an otherwise great video. I think we can cut Simon just a bit of slack on this one. :)
Google jackfruit
I have, they don't look like durians. Maybe you could Google durian?
+William Tseng Let me reword that. Google "What is the difference between jackfruit and durian?" It seems people often confuse the two.
I always wondered about its flavor. The first time I had jackfruit, I was like whoa! Why does this taste exactly like juicy fruit gum? 🤔
Interesting video but you didn't actually answer the question! lol
eatmyskids fr tho
HerrBratwurst I didn't say taste like I said is, you seem to be the expert here, why don't you tell us more
sorry i thought you knew how it tasted, i mean your name says eatmykids.
HerrBratwurst 'eatmykids' . . . that could be taken to mean something very dark indeed.
isoamyl acetate. The Fruit in juicy fruit is artifical flavor.
Drinking game - Take a shot every time he says "Juicy Fruit"
wow your channel have really exploaded the past week/ weeks!
Been a crazy week :-)
Nordmark productions
940 Wrigley employees disliked this for figuring out their secret!
You showed durian.
NiX aKi That's true. And durian smells and tastes nothing like Juicy FruIt.
yep... it smells like shit, but it's really tasty in a weird way
@Jervey123 No it does, it's bloody heavenly.
its a fact that he showed durian
Nop
I LOVE the thumbnails in your videos and I LOVE that you look like Vsauce! Subscribed.
so i watched this video and it still doesn't answer the question. what a waste of time.
Pro-tip, listening while watching helps a ton on this front. ;-)
pro-tip, you can't draw conclusions from speculation. As stated in the video "Wrigley won't confirm what exactly is in the product." Thus you can't say 100% sure you know what is in it.
There are many things we can't say with 100% certainty- in fact a huge amount of history is covered in that brush- but it doesn't mean we can't draw reasonable conclusions from the known facts.
Today I Found Out I don't disagree with you. But the title of the video, "Exactly."
Except it did.
Since the gum explicitly ADVERTISED it had an *"artificial flavor"*.....and its original location in a whiskey producing region, that produced a by-product that had the exact taste of Juicy Fruit.....so, yeah.
Don't be pedantic.
I love your videos Simon, this one one made me question what Dr. Pepper's 21 flavors are. Could tell me?
Very interesting!
Those persons who won't accept that let's say vanillin from vanilla and vanillin from the chemical reactor are just exactly the same...
Thank you. I've always been annoyed by people who claim "natural" is better than synthesized even if they are the exact same molecule. I've tried to explain that often "natural" solutions, like plants, herbs, etc. may contain trace elements and compounds not desired. For example, plants may absorb mercury or cyanide from water and soil, and thus your "natural" product contains harmful elements. Like Rhubarb, the stalks taste great and the leafs cause kidney failure. Whereas, deriving the molecule produces a purer product with known concentration. If it's chemically the same, no matter how its produced, its the same.
Max Power -- Right. There are even some people who get hot and bothered about Insulin from genetically engineered bacterial (or yeast) cultures. Although this is exactly the same they produce in their pancreas. They stay with their belief it's bad even when they are told that the animal insulin used earlier had serious side effects.
Until they get diabetes themselves, that is :-D
+ozdergecko ever heard of beaver butt juice?

It's like GMO foods. We have been consuming GMOs for 1000's of years. The fruit and vegetables we eat today don't resemble those of 1000+ years. Apples are probably the best example; natural apples are horrendous, absolutely disgusting. Then the tasty macintosh came around and we kept planting it's saplings. Then we grafted saplings to get ALLLL the other varieties. Corn is another easy example, we modified it by cross breeding to get stable, hearty, short stalked corn.
People just don't understand science and they fear what they don't understand.
The horrendous mutations leading to the varieties of Brassica oleracea we eat today (brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, cale, broccoli,...) might be the most extreme example of what classical breeding can do.
Here in Europe, GMO foods are forbidden due to pressure groups. Partly because we us small fields with crop rotation which needs far less pesticides. Thus the possible dangers of the features engineered into the plants by crossing out into wild plants are much bigger and not well understood.
I worked as a plant molecular biologist for a few years, but in a very harmless area ;-) -- "ah, you are making those horror plants..." was something I heard every now and then.
It was my favorite as a kid. Haven't chewed Juicy Fruit in some decades. Now I'm tempted to buy another pack.
he basically moved information around. i felt like nothing was said
Once again life changing info. I've never thought about before!
I like how UK people put an "R" at the end of some words. like he said "Americar" haha
They don't pronounce R if it's in the middle of the sentence. They say "uth" and "wuld" instead of "earth" and "world." They call it a "soft R," but I can't hear it at all.
Some use W. They'll say "stoh-wees" and "a-wee-uh" instead of "stories" and "area."
snow man about 1% of us talk like that.
J L. That's a good point. I only listen to BBC documentaries videos. Are you saying the hosts and guests of these videos only represent 1% of how people talk in england? I'm really curious, so please answer.
snow man sounds like they're either from Yorkshire or have a speech impediment like Johnathon Ross. Unless we're both reading what you wrote in a different way
This often happens if the final letter of a word ends with a vowel and the following word begins with a vowel. For example: America (r)is large.
Elision is where we join two words to make them sound as one, often omitting a sound 'British shores' would only be pronounced with one /sh/ sound
Say Juicy Fruit one more damn time
Lol jack fruit and durian are not the same..
The second picture of Jackfruit of the 3 pictures used is actually a fruit called a Durian. The outsides are similar as they both have spiky shells, though the Durian has a rank stench and is much smaller than the Jack fruit shell. Durian fruit looks like a big white bean shape, but tastes like garbage. Jackfruit, the actual fruit part of it at least is a banana peel yellow color, sticky and tastes very sweet almost like an overly sweet banana. The fruit itself is also unusual as it can be peeled apart several times over easily and has the texture and look of shiny rubbery plastic. Its a very delicious fruit and fairly good for you to eat.
so it's okay to not disclose what's in your product because it's a secret?"
POVgames yes it is
Why am I watching the Scientist from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2?
He has a legit egghead. Love his vids though.
1:48 "Juicy Fruit tastes like Jack Fruit....*shows a picture of Durian*..." That made me cringe. You guys need to do your homework better.
Never have looked up juicy fruit on the internet but today I bought a pack for the first time in years and I come home and this video is in my recommended
at 1.51 that an image of a durian fruit!
Also, 2:30 is Big Red. Juicy Fruit is white.
Andrew Reid
No it's not; durians and jackfruit are very similar but durian has much more prominent 'spikes' whereas jackfruit have smaller less protruding spikes.
Andrew Reid it's just a packet of jackfruit on top of durian, dude, srsly
The fact I’m eating juicy gum while watching this..
Is this guy a bootleg Vsauce?
Technically TodayIFoundOut's been around longer than Vsauce. ;-)
Today I Found Vsauce has been making videos on TH-cam since 2010 though. Did Today I Found start on a different website?
Far less annoying then vsauce.
Haha! I know the answer to this. I live in Jamaica and the fruit used for Wrigley's juicy fruit is very common here. The fruit used is called a Jackfruit. Now that I have enlighten your darkness dont just sit there.... Applaud! 👏👏👏👏
1:52 its durian not jackfruit (the photo)
Jack Fruit is amazing! Discovered it in a Asian supermarket. Can't stop buying it !!!!!!
I thought it was made with pug meat.
Will Parry Yeah, it tastes sort of strange though.
In defense of listing simply "natural and artificial flavors", sometimes several hundred ingredients are mixed to produce just >one< flavor, many flavors may be used in one recipe. These go through insane quality control and regulation, the FDA knows whats in there...
1:51 this is not a jackfruit but a durian and it's known to have a vrey special taste
Ratchmaster the fruit in question is known by both names in U.S.A.
No, jack fruit and durian are very different fruits. Jack fruit smells fairly good and doesn't taste too bad. Durian smells like Sulphur and tastes god awful, unless you are my wife, who happens to be Thai and loves the disgusting stuff.
Ratchmaster Andrew Reid
No it's not; durians and jackfruit are very similar but durian has much more prominent 'spikes' whereas jackfruit have smaller less protruding spikes.
twocupsoftee no they are definitly not the same fruit ,exterior looks different, the inside too and the taste is sure not the same
+twocupsoftee they are different, ffs. have you even tried them yourself?
LOL. I was chewing some Juicy Fruit while watching this.
Same 😂😂
today I found out fuck all
The ingredients literally just says "Flavourings".
there are several cannabis strains that have bubblegum flavors including some that are "distinctingly Juicy Fruit" so it might just be a single terpene (just as all the citrus-flavor cannabis strains have high levels of limonene)
