My husband had rectal cancer and ended up with a colostomy in 2005. It was a very big problem for him if he was constipated and his doctor recommended the Amazon knock off!
His doctor was the head of the Colorectal surgery department at Cleveland clinic and he was angry at the cost of the name brand and the lengths the company had gone to to get doctors to recommend it to their patients. As he said, he could have taken his entire family to Bora Bora for 3 weeks if he had agreed to take the trip and recommend the name brand which was bad enough but not at all unusual. What angered him was that they were not even giving him free samples to give his patients and they wanted him to tell his patients that the knock off was dangerous and could cause their cancer to return!
He said that he would not lie to his patients especially if they were able to read the labels and they would see the ingredients were 100% the same!
What would his patients think of anything he told them!?
I respected him so much for that and for telling us the truth about why he was so adamant that we get any generic that had the same ingredients but the Amazon was the best deal he'd found thus far.
The ingredients aren’t exactly the same. The name brand has palm oil in it, which isn’t healthy.
If I was Vivian’s neighbor she’d never get rid of me. That’s saying a lot because I’m kind of an antisocial homebody, but I like laughing more than being antisocial and getting a killer deals to boot. Why doesn’t this channel have millions of subs?
Yes!! I would help out ! lol
I just found her by accident, when I was down a YT rabbit hole. I was SO impressed with her delivery, her speaking ability and her charm! She's VERY good at this and absolutely no boring intro, outro or any commercial content. Man, how did I not know about this gem of a creator? I'm so glad that I found her! It's very rare that I'm captivated so much, that I watch an entire video, without skipping through..... however she is so talented at what she does, I watched from beginning to end! Great editing too! Subbed!
@@bearyhot She is amazing and so funny. I found her in my feed and I'm
so happy that I did.
Palm oil is high in saturated fat. But worse, it's being blamed for destroying natural habitats of already endangered species like the Orangutan, pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhino. Plus, it's probably cheaper per ounce than roasted almonds, so you get an actually better ingredient for less money per ounce with the amazon one. They probably make the other for people that want a peanut butter-like product. Keep them on their toes and keep them honest, Vivian!
If I'm buying almond butter or peanut butter, if I see palm oil on the label I put it back on the shelf. Apart from the habitats of the animals you mention being destroyed, palm oil is actually very bad for you and has been associated with certain types of cancers.
Thank you for posting this with detailed information. I was going to say it but you said it all and there is no doubt, knock off is cheaper, tastes better and stronger almond flavor because it's not thinned with palm oil. It's better for your health and most importantly, it's better for the planet!
Almond harvesting has its own issues due to the amount of water it requires and MOST almonds are grown in California where water is in short supply as it is.
@@mooncrafternailsandmore7907 OMG the happy belly almond butter is up to $11.19 and won’t come until next month.
@@hiknfo Just looking at the price history over the last 4 months, this almond butter is all over the place, between $8.18 and $11.20. Also unavailable with prime shipping. I imagine it'll drop back down soon once that vendor gets a restock. Even still, at $11.19 it's a cheaper (and higher quality!) option than the "natural" one Vivian showed. Never blindly trust anything that touts "all natural" as their selling point!
And it‘s Cheap.
Fact: Most companies knock themselves off, if not all of them.
Any “nighttime” med just has Benadryl (diphenhydramine) added.
Sometimes it’s cheaper to take the benedryl and cold med instead of purchasing specific nighttime versions.
I buy ALL off-brand or store brand medications. There is literally no difference. Same with generic prescription drugs. I'm not paying for a name, I'm paying for an active ingredient.
There is a huge difference with generics, especially if made in India. There’s a great podcast on Low Carb MDs (pretty sure it was that podcast…).
@@TracyKMainwaring the only difference between brand name Rx drugs and generics in America are inactive ingredients that you might be allergic to.
@@GenXfrom75 listen to the podcast. The doctors were shocked. It's crazy what's going on in over seas facilities
@@GenXfrom75 I found it. Low Carb MDs, Episode 170, with Katherine Eban. She also has a book, "Bottle of Lies"
@@TracyKMainwaring some people don't have a choice. Insurance only pays for generic drugs in many cases. And for the non insured, brand name meds can be WAY too expensive to buy.
When she said colace I got scared of how she was gonna test 😭
🤣 haaa!
Hi Vivian! Just for your safety, when smelling chemicals please wave your hand over it and waft the scent to you rather than putting your nose up to it. Some chemicals can cause damage to the mucous membrane and throat. Thank you for your videos!
Oh snap I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!
Learned this in chem class in hs :)
No don’t wave ur hand. It’ll decrease the buzz u get. 🤣🤣🤣
@@gp1971 😂 😆
Palm oil is just so non ethical and is the cause of deforestation. For that reason I don’t like products that contain it.
The pods for coffee I just can’t do either. I still use either a percolator or my French press or my old school espresso pot. Only waste is a single bag from beans and the wonderful compost.
I’m
Curious how palm oil is the cause of deforestation? It’s made from the fruit of palm trees - much like orange juice is made from the fruit of orange trees and avocado oil is made from the fruit of avocado trees and coconut oil is made from the fruit of a coconut tree. If you cut down the trees you can only harvest them once - and that only if they are baring fruit at the time you cut them down. Makes more sense - from a business perspective- to keep the trees and harvest them year after year. 🤷♀️
@@dawnlittle946 the trees are the home of many animals. When the trees are cut its not just one or two its thousands. Millions of animals have been left homeless. Look into it.
@@nettyspeaks they aren’t cut down to make palm oil - that’s my point.
Hearts of Palm (which I love and haven’t eaten since I learned they have to kill the tree to harvest) they do cut down the trees.
Palm oil is made from the fruit of the trees.
The home you live in contributed more to deforestation then palm oil does
@@dawnlittle946 how you arguing how the orangutans are being affected. Like you're minimizing that their homes are being cut down. Just stop using or eating palm oil. Its not a NEED.
@@dawnlittle946 She isn't comprehending.
Tide has optical brighteners, maybe that’s why it’s cloudy
According to the FDA, all medication must have the same active ingredient. The INACTIVE ingredients may be vastly different, but unless you are allergic to something specific in that knock off medicine (always read the labels), then it should be okay to take. Any store brand (Walmart, CVS, etc) will be MUCH cheaper than the name brand, and be just as effective, and you don’t have to wait for them to arrive from Amazon.
Great reviews. Appreciate the comparisons. It would be great to have a follow up video segment in about 3 months after you have used these products for a while to get your impressions from really living with them. Thanks again. Another hit outta the park!
I hope she reads this. A lot of TH-camrs seems like they don't have the time to reply nor read
Do you model? You should look into it
@@bronzebeautybrown3949 if you had a million comments and you’re one person video I’m sure you couldn’t do it either . Seem y’all forget they have lives , families , kids and / or significant others . Then y’all complain and force them to push out content ? Do you harass celebrities like that ? Or does your entitlement lower?
@@bronzebeautybrown3949 Not trying to be rude .. but it’s like goodness sometimes they can’t get to everyone on every platform
I read all comments. It’s impossible to reply to everyone. Hope that helps you 😉
Good catch on the palm oil. It's actually very bad for you being high in cholesterol and it's not environmentally friendly. It should be a banned ingredient.
High cholesterol foods are not bad for you on their own. Neither is saturated fat. It’s about what the other ingredients are, and if the fat is trans fats or hydrogenated (those are horrible). There are huge environmental and social issues with palm oil.
Palm oil is known to be a HUGE no no. But it's in so many products you'd be surprised.
You'll need to dump the Colace and try the generic brand of Miralax.
Oooo! I’m so excited about the generic Thera-flu!! I can’t take the brand name as I’m highly allergic to chamomile. It’s is a close relative of ragweed.
Congrats on 300k!!. Who else misses Vivian in the kitchen?! Amazon is literally life. I much rather stock up on my ish from my bed 😂🤷🏻♂️
Yes! With the little trash can!
When you finish your video… “and I see you in the next one.. byyye” plays in my head LOL. But you forgot to say it 🤣 i don’t think I have tried almond butter…but for that review and price I think I will try it
It’s good but nothing like peanut butter!
For the colace I used the Walmart generic, it's even cheaper than amazons
Hey Vivian! Congratulations on 300,000 subs!!!! Keep up the great work, love all your videos, never miss one!!! ☺❤
I thought she had 1 mil
I love Amazon's Solimo brand detergent and fabric softener in the lavender scent -- I've been happy with most of their house brand products tbh.
I always buy the generic for medication, why do people spend the money on the name brands? I know a lot of people do and a lot of people think there’s a difference also. Now when it comes to the detergent I feel like that’s something that needs to be used overtime to see if it’s working as well, I have noticed a difference between brands, your clothes will start looking dingy with some brands because it’s not washing out all of the dirt and oils in your clothes and that takes time to start to show.
We've used the knock off stool softeners for YEARS!!!!! Love your voice :-) Even hubby said you have such a soothing voice ;-) Have a FABULOUS DAY!!!
300 K subs!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats, all that hard work is paying off.
I never knew Amazon had so many products of their own, like the washing detergent & cold meds! Thanks Vivian! 💜
Thanks for the information - I'll definitely try the laundry detergent, and maybe the almond butter as well.
I don’t know why but “I can smell the palm oil!” really got me 😂
Sometimes price shouldn't be the concern. The Amazon coffee pods seem plastic, therefore a problem for the environment. Since, the Nespresso are aluminum, they are easier to be recycled. I have a different pod for Nespresso, but they gave me a bag so that I can send the used pods back to them to recycle with pre paid postage. Something to consider IMHO.
OK, Viv, you have me hooked. I've been binge-watching your videos for two full days! How about testing spices from Aldi and brand names (like oregano, parsley, etc.)
I really enjoy your videos! I learn a great deal about products and Japanese Dollar Stores. Thanks for not only giving great information with a dash of humor. 5 Vivian heads.
Thanks, Vivan! I am impressed with the Free and Clear detergent. I think it will keep white clothing from turning yellow.
I love the Amazon brands. I have been using Amazon Fresh for over a year now. I've tried many of the Amazon products and love them.
Hi Vivian! I love all your content. I was wondering have you reviewed the instant pod coffee maker yet? If not would you consider doing a review.
300 thousand followers! 🥳🎉 Congrats and much love to you!
I just can’t get behind the pod coffee thing. I know nesspresso and Kuerig are the trend but I still just make a nice drip coffee without the single pod packaging, and the outrageous pricing. Sorry, not sorry bout it.
I do cold brewed in the fridge for summer and then drip during the winter. Nothing better than fresh simple coffee.
That too plus when I make a cup of coffee it's a HUGE mug, not some little 12 Oz cup.
We have a Keurig coffee machine and my husband buys the “NO NAME
Medium Roast Coffee Pods (Case)
100 ea for $30. The pods are compostable so they get disposed of in our green food scraps bin.
@@Casinogirl56 yes a 4 or 6 Oz coffee doesn’t even come close to filling my mugs. I’d need 2-3 to get a real cup.
I watched the liquid coming out and it’s clear (or close to it). We now use the Kuerig to make tea and instant coffee. I forgot what a strong cup of coffee tastes like. One cup and done. Brew a pot of Jamaican me Crazy on the weekends.
Thank You for always making me laugh when I need it the most!💜
I’ve used the solimo products, they work just fine. Still prefer Tide but when you’re broke, it’s fine.
I just tried some of the Amazon basics snack foods and I was presently surprised👍 The sugar cookies were awesome !
Hey Vivian! The palm oil is probably to help emulsify the dried almonds. Ever notice all natural peanut butter separate? It’s because it does not have something to emulsify it.
I use Persil (free & sensitive) brand detergent. It seems to work better for my clothing than Tide. I want to find a non-water based detergent so I can stop buying plastic bottles but I'm not sure if any of those would work with the terrible hard water I have.
Theraflu is my go to too! I love that stuff. It works great! Thanks for the video Vivian 💜
Finally subscribed after watching a dozen or so videos, lol. Great channel and content!
I give it five cool smiley face.
😎😎😎😎😎
YAY! Love you Viv! Makes my day when you upload!
My wife and I tried the Amazon brand hot chocolate K-Cups last year. Those things were NASTY! Nothing more than brown water with a pinch of artificial sugar. Everything else Amazon brand has been great.
I wasn't impressed with the k cup hot chocolate. I found it weak and watery. I use our k cup machine at work without a pod to make the perfect temperature cup of tea.
Thanks, very helpful. And funny as well!
I’m still so happy about the red bull dupe! It tastes exactly the same!
So glad I found your video.
New Subscriber.
Thanks for the helpful information/reviews.
I need more Vivian. I'm liking all the videos all tonight! Lol
Love your vids Vivian. Congratulations on 300,000 subs. Where’s your teapot?
Glad we found your channel! My wife and I love watching and laughing! Keep up the good work!
Hip hip hop ray!! Love you made such a great milestone !!!😊😊😊
Yay! Vivian's uploads always make my day! 💯💞
I seem to always agree with u I’m still just happy I came across your videos u do a great job
I found this channel a couple years ago my fav channel and can't wait for new videos ❤❤❤❤🇺🇸✌I love the dollar store and Japanese dollar store finds lol
I have used the Amazon brand of detergent for the last 2 years. It does come in 2 scents. I love the fabric softener as well. It sells under the brand Presto.
They also have the Solimo, what she's using in this video
First time I catch a video this early!! Hi Vivian!!!
Vivian I’m a new subscriber! I love you I love that you cuss and you’re hilarious like I’m addicted already! Congrats on 300 K I look forward to more videos I’m going to binge watch some more!!!
Congratulations for 300k!!!🥳🥳🎉🎉. You really deserve it and many more. Just love looking your videos💖✌
Palm oil is a saturated fat that isn’t recommended for human consumption. They name it to make it seem unassuming…palm seems innocent enough, amiright.
Love you Viv!! 💗
My weird medicine love, is alka seltzer plus cold. It's always good for what ails ya 😅 And to make it even weirder, I also add salt. Some Lucas Limon Salt makes it even better 😄🤦
xox 😘
Big spoon roasters has an article on palm oil. Apparently there's no flavor to it, but there's no nutrition to it either. Add the issues making it and it's clear it's not such a hot idea. Good call Vivian!!!
I've been wondering if Amazon Fresh was worth it. This answers my question.
Great reviews could you review the sheets they use for laundry thanks
Hi Vivian , I recently started watching your tube program. .Have to tell you, wonderful wealth of information. Viewed your tube for the last two days. Abosolutley great! Keep doing what you are doing. So very informative. Thank you.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love your channel watch all the time and I love that you are from Texas just like me
Maybe I’m just old, but I got tired of lugging those detergent bottles around. Switched to TruEarth. A whole year’s worth of laundry detergent in a few envelopes space. Just order it like you order Amazon. Easy to carry if you have to put in a downstairs laundry room. Great for young people going to a laundromat or apartment folks. Same cleaning power. If there is a stain, I pretreat with my sunlight laundry bar, same as I’ve always done. I don’t use softener, since vinegar does the same but doesn’t leave a residue on your clothes like the softener. You just tear of a strip of the detergent (it’s a dry soap so you are not buying water with your soap like Tide), pop it in the washer and away you go. You actually get the loads you pay for, instead of over filling. It’s worth looking into.
Like you, I always add a few tablespoons of vinegar to the rinse. I dislike fabric softeners because they leave a waxy residue that never washes out. Also, I add a few tablespoons of ammonia to the wash load, which softens the water so I can use WAY less of whatever detergent and get the same results. Used to use borax for the same purpose but discovered that borax is not water soluble except (temporarily) in very hot water, which I never use, so that was a BIG waste of money!
How much vinegar do you need to use?
@@MuppetBabiesForever No more than about 1/8 cup for a large load; we do only medium loads so 2 or 3 tablespoons.
Vivian can you try the stretch and fresh product 😁 also love your videos !
Welcome back to another Viiiiiivian Tries!
Iconic 😎
Palm oil may or may not be good for you. It is high in saturated fat. It is not ethically sourced.
Thanks for the reviews, I am more convinced to try generics.
Thanks for the video
I still watch videos on making homemade detergent, but I can't find soap nuts anywhere. I still have an old fashion coffee maker. I taught palm oil was supposed to be for soap making, and was not supposed to be in food. Just go to your farmers market when possible, they have things that are good for washing, and consuming. (like lemons)
I like that tornado effect that was pretty neat 😊
Most detergents have additives or fillers. It could be anything. I use pure detergent because of that. Great video!
The Happy Belly peanut butter is really good too!
Girl, I MUST have those clear coffee cups. Where did you get those??? I LOVE them.
Knock off brands and Vivian, yes I’m here for it!
300k congratulations 🎊 you deserve it
The Solimo brand is amazing, I've yet to find something from Amazon's brand that I didn't like.
I love your channel!
I have used the Amazon detergent and it cleaned very well, very thick and concentrated, but I also add boosters like Oxiclean and Borax so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.
I always love your videos
Is there softener in the Tide one? 🤷🏻♀️,
I appreciate the Amazon Theraflu's use of less packaging.
It's way past time to be using less waste producing products.
Hey Vivian I have been a fan for years now and you always make me laugh
Palm oil is used to help the nut butters not separate and as a filler.
Hello vivian, sending you lots of love from Puerto Rico. 🤗🤗
Palm oil is used in things like Nutella but it’s super unsustainable so definitely go for the Amazon brand!
Wow Amazon went up to a little over $11 for the Almond butter. I'm still trying it though I have to wait for payday. Thanks Vivian 😊
100% almond butter is NOT runny.I make my own- just almonds in the food processor and it is thick. Don't take my word for it, try it. Easy and delicious. I'm skeptical of Amazon 's claim that they're only using almonds and getting such a watery consistency.Maybe they're adding almond oil in which case they can claim using only almonds.Either way, cheaper and tastier making your own.
you're right, if it were only DRY almond powder, then why is it that runny, what am I missing, but yeah i'm aware of the oil naturally occurring in almonds, but that much?
There goes Vivian ready to make my day with her funny crazy video 🤣🤣😊😉🤗😁
On the colace it is dehydrating to your intestines use magnesium I think it is cheaper too.
You got me comparing products and asking if I got suckered and rating them by Vivian heads. 🤣🤣 Love your videos Vivian! ❤️❤️❤️
😄
Maybe you should try some samples boxes? BoxyCharm, Ipsy, Allure and Birch box to name a few.
One waited with bated breath how Vivian would test the stool softeners…………greetings from Dublin Ireland, love the vids….
I love the warm feeling I get when I don't feel good and I drink the lemon Thera flu. Does the amazon brand work as well?
Love Amazon brands!! Their brand of Delsym cough syrup is also a huge win!
I would like a follow-up on these products especially the detergent.
What's the name of Amazon's laundry detergent?
I've never seen it.
you know you used the same whisk to mix both the laundry detergents. I would think that would ruin the test since both now have some of the other detergents mixed in
