if you want to ever mimic bubblegum, for a alcholic drink we would do 50/50 banana/ peach schnapps shaken on ice. i think if you used a peach 'water flavor pack' with the banana syrup you might get closer not that anyone wants bubblegum sugar water that bad lol
Chocolate oranges is a candy that exists, and its usually made with dark chocolate. So the gelatin and lack of flavor probably made this super gross tbh
I think it could work well. There’s a recipe for something similar that uses matcha called a mousse cake in Japan. Very velvety smooth, so if you used enough chocolate, it would melt on you tongue and have a soft texture with a strong orange flavor. The orange I would definitely chop into small chunks so it’s not such a weird texture difference
Semi-serious answer on the H2O: A lot of the TikTok water girlies have had bariatric surgery and are required to drink a ton of water with no carbonation. Many of them *hate* it so they use flavorings to make it palatable.
It’s not just simply hating it, but people also forget that for the first few weeks the only things you can drink are liquids. (For the first week and a half it’s only clear liquids)
Chocolate and orange are awesome together. Maybe the milk throws it off and certainly the gelatinization and having the whole fruit with it probably threw it off.
My parents grew up in Buffalo and I would visit frequently growing up (or family would come down to us) and we would end up with like 200 dollars worth of chocolate orange sponge candy in our house every time. We love orange chocolate
Have you not ever heard of a Terry's Chocolate Orange? They are fantastic! Mostly only found during Christmas time, I think a British thing that made its way over here to the states. Its shaped exactly like and orange, wrapped in gold foil and you grab it slam it down on the table / counter, unwrap and tada! Beautiful segments of orange flavored chocolate. They are really a tasty treat for Christmas.
Terry's chocolate orange is a real Christmas treat lol I'm from the UK. Although they are not as good as they used to be the orange segments have gotten thinner they used to be chunky segments.
A Terry's Chocolate orange is the taste of Christmas. I can never find them anymore though. We used to just see them on the grocery store check out sometimes year round
The Watertok trend is about enhancing water with 'sugar-free' syrups and drink packets. So they are not adding calories, as many are still on a weight loss regimen following bariatric surgery. But once you add in that much flavoring, sugar-free or not, it's no longer what, imho.
if anything its worse than drinking sugary juices because of all the colorings and sweetners your pumping into your body. this is a reminder that just because something is zero-cal or low-cal does not mean its always better for you
@@zzigzag286 actually it's something that doctors advise for bariatric patients as they need to meet a specific daily water intake (66 oz iirc) and at the same time they may have a thing called water nausea, where even a sip of plain water makes you physically sick, but they cannot drink sugary juices, sodas with any carbonation or any caffeinaated drink, so they have to add something to the water to make it so it doesn't make them sick, hence the sugar-free flavouring
@@lexwolfhale1729 It's advised by doctors because their patients can't handle anything else, but that doesn't mean it's super healthy. It just means that they don't have any other choice, but people who can drink water should just stick to it most of the time.
@@dragonfly9821 exactly. Chemo is also recommended by doctors, that doesn’t mean its good for you, only that its better than the alternative (ie cancer)
@@dragonfly9821 bariatric patient here, there are other choices than the water tok trend. I use Mio in my water to get in my 64 oz daily, I don't add a ton just enough to give it a flavor. Any sugar free water additive works just as well. I don't agree with this whole trend of how much sugar free syrup can we add till we're stuck in the bathroom taking a trip down old $hit's Creek though. The sugar free stuff can and will tear a person up. Also my surgeon and dietitian don't condone the while water recipe thing either simply because it's an artificial sweetener and too much of anything is never a good thing, they recommend things like Mio, crystal light, minute maid zero, and protein water (there's more but the list is kinda long), with limited use of those sugar free syrups (basically you shouldn't be consuming as much syrup as water, I know they aren't but it's too much).
I’ve been trying to break a habit of drinking nothing but soda for years, and plain water is too drastic a change. So I use the sugar free drink mixes, or the sugar free flavor syrups in water for taste without all the calories. It’s a godsend
You should try doing that with sparkling/seltzer water! I've been combining flavored sparkling water with different zero calorie drink packets - and it's been great honestly. I don't even add the whole packet usually. I've been using propel's immunity boost packets lately, and they're pretty good.
@@mieeuhh some people have issues with drinking carbonated products, esp if you deal with acid reflux or teeth issues where low pH is really bad for your enamel, so diet soda still isn’t an option :(
I've made peach cheesecake with peeled sliced peaches encased in a lemon jelly layer before and it was actually really good! I think that it just depends on the application and the flavour is really important when it comes to food made with gelatin, agar agar, etc.
Like a few others have said, chocolate and orange is actually a combo that exists and plays together very nicely imo. I think the issue here was low quality chocolate, and not enough of it. I don't typically find myself interested in Zach's recipes, but that's one I'd give a shot.
Not a complete loss: the eggs sound like they are GREAT! Thanks for sacrificing yourself for us, David. Now go, console yourself with "bubblegum water" and some really excellent deviled eggs!
It’s so strange that you didn’t like the mandarine & chocolate combo. Maybe it is because you used Hersheys. Because the combo OG great quality dark chocolate and orange or mandarine is quite delicious in my opinion. Try buying a really good chocolate with those flavors and you’ll see the difference. By the way, my favorite combination: dark chocolate, orange and hot peppers. Soooo amazing!!
It's not Hershey's (he is American, so I'm assuming he is used to the taste of it), it's the milk and agar. Chocolate orange is usually dark chocolate + orange extract/peel/dried orange. By adding agar/gelatin and milk you create something like a chocolate gummy, and I can't imagine it tasting great with fresh orange (not to mention the texture, ew).
I think the recipe is very far off from a normal chocolate and orange combo. Considering how little chocolate went into it, it probably just tasted like an orange with a neutral milk jelly, which is a textural nightmare.
I mean most juices are made from a concentrate (probably very syrupy) dumped in water. especially the smooth kind with added sugar. soooooo people can drink whatever they want and it's valid even if you do this just because you prefer sweet drinks, nobody has to prove that they're an "adult" by drinking plain water but I'm also in the camp "it just bothers me that they call this water it's dumb" lol
I live in the UK and never heard of Jaffa hard boiled sweets - lemon sherbets boil sweets and chocolate limes. The only Jaffa is Jaffa cakes which are not a hard boiled sweet lol.
@@Mark-nh2hs I was lied to! You're 100% right :) I just looked at Wikipedia and turns out these candies are just Australian/NZ! These are more like an M&M/Smartie but round. They have a hard shell with chocolate inside though.

They sound good as I love chocolate orange lol.
Water tok it literally just Kool aid. I would boil the eggs in the soup and then peel them and let them soak more. That could also be a way to speed up the cooking for them to be done all in one day.
To be fair, the TikTok guy's chocolate in his chocolate orange video looked a lot chocolatier than yours. And chocolate + orange is a classic flavor pairing. Not saying his recipe is good cause I've never tried it, but definitely looked different than yours, which had more of a muddled grey hue lol
I made the french onion deviled eggs and they ARE fantastic! Highly recommend if you’ve got the time to make them. We also really like fried deviled eggs with peppered bacon but also have made them with lobster or shrimp. Either way, the serving platters are empty.
I don't get why everyone is so bothered by these water ladies. Most of the time they are using 40 ounces of water to mix all their sugary powders into. So while the drinks are definitely really sweet using a regular size cup that might hold somewhere between 16 to 25 ounces of liquid is of course going to result in an unpalatable nightmare.
For the chocolate and orange dessert, I would try dark chocolate and maybe add orange liquor for more flavor. Also probably candied orange would be better.
Dark chocolate and orange is a awesome flavor combo. Everytime Christmas time comes around I get excited cause Terry's chocolate oranges come out from their hidey holes
So chocolate orange deserts are in fact a thing that exists, is relatively common I believe, and quite delicious in my opinion. Typically I see it as either orange shaped and sized chunks of chocolate that you break into "slices", but is just an orange shaped hard chocolate with some orange flavoring. I also see chocolate orange sticks, which have a chocolate outside and a sweet orange feeling. So while it might just be that you don't like the chocolate orange flavor combo, I suspect there may be something else going on. Which is probably the form this takes. It may look cool, but even as a big fan of chocolate orange stuff, just whole orange slices coated with chocolate milk gelatin doesn't really sound great to me. I think that if you're gonna just use actual oranges in a chocolate desert like this, coating orange wedges with a hard, darker chocolate would be better. You get the bitterness of the darker chocolate, with the tart sweet juice of the orange inside, and the texture combo sounds more appealing to me then using gelatin.
I feel like if the chocolate was more of mousse it would be better. And if it was dark chocolate. Chocolate and orange is a pretty classic flavour combo but it is *very* rich and usually reserved for small pottions (terry's chocolate orange which is made to be shared by a family or group, and bonbons like in the Quality Street tins you get dark chocolate and orange ones) I hate weak milk chocolate flavoured things, especially if its a jello or pudding texture. But i can think of so many other applications where it would be tasty using chocolate, orange, and a whipped or gelled dessert. The potential is definitely there.
Not a comment on that specific recipe, although maybe using a better chocolate would have helped (and obviously chocolate orange as a flavor combo is definitely a thing) but there's a super expensive shop that has different whole or half fruit in jelly (although not chocolate jelly) called Minamoto Kitchoan.
In Australia, we have had flavoured water for years, except we call in cordial. Orange and chocolate can taste nice, England has Terry's chocolate Orange and it is great. Also, Hershey's isn't the best chocolate to use because it's doesn't have a strong chocolate flavour. If you add cocoa powder, it could have helped the flavour a bit. You can bulk caramelized onions in a slow cooker or sou vide. It takes like a day, but you can just leave it on it's own so you don't have to stir the entire time.
I don't 4ven like onions, and the last time I had a deviled egg I was like 6 and very displeased by it, but that actually looks SO SO good. And as for the jello chocolate orange thing... please dont eat that.. love yourself.
Wellllll the chocolate orange jelly actually looks similar to a traditional Indonesian cake called Nagasari texture wise atleast. Instead of jello you have a mixture of rice flour and coconut milk and instead of the orange you have slices of banana then it’s wrapped in banana leaves and steamed,
Sliced onions, pinch of salt, tablespoon of brown sugar, toss. Put in crockpot covered on low 8-10 hours (I usually leave em over night) and boom you wake up to caramelized onions with way less effort.
there flavoured water here in South Africa and one day I was like whats the difference between this and soda its fizzy the flavour is strong its sweet the answer is soda has colouring in it and "flavoured water" is clear yeah its not water at that point
Chocolate oranges, like the full candy that is sold (with just orange flavor and not the full-on fruit), are delicious. So I can see where that recipe was going, but yeah, it doesn't sound appealing. I think a chocolate ganache (which is SUPER flavorful) over oranges could work. Honestly, though, just get that chocolate orange candy, it is so good! And the chocolate comes separated like orange slices, it is so cute.
People calling those water concoctions "juice" annoys me more than calling it "water" ever will. Juice comes from fruits and vegetables. Those syrups and flavor packets have probably never been in the same room with anything natural, until they arrived at the store. Honestly, I use those little packets, and the liquid versions, all the time, so I get why people refer to the result as water. The liquid ones tend to be labeled water enhancers. The powders usually aren't, but if you came in via Mio, it's easy to understand why they're thought of that way. (It's punch or ice tea, imo, depending on the type you add.) Never tried flavored syrups. The other video I watched on the subject mentioned water tokers using sugar free ones, so the intended result might have been a bit less sickly sweet.
I think the *real* problem here is that Kool-aid, etc, is trademarked and nobody ever came up with a good generic name for what Kool-aid is. I understand why calling it "bubblegum water" sounds more appealing than "bubblegum drink". "Water enhancer" itself feels hyper misleading for something that is definitely just sugar-free drink mix, but people get what you mean. Definitely agree "juice" is absolutely the worst possible option here, 100%, this is like anti-juice.
In the international food store, in the Hispanic foods section, there are milk based jello products you make yourself from the packages by mixing it with milk. Caramel, chocolate, pistachio etc. Its not good I agree. Jello just doesnt work in dairy products because like you said your focus is on the texture instead of the flavor. Plus they DO def seem to need more sugar added to them than say a starch based pudding.
I will say WaterTok benefits me as someone who is intolerant to high fructose corn syrup (I get extremely sick) and hates the flavor of diet sodas. I'd rather add these syrups to some water or carbonated water to have something that tastes palatable rather than deprive myself of ever drinking something other than plain water and fruit juice. Sometimes people just want to be able to have things that fit within the lifestyle they have to lead.
Water tok ladies use zero calorie “syrups”, and an average of 40 ounces of water. It doesn’t look like those syrups are sugar free and it looks like you have maybe 16 ounces of water. That’ll change the flavor profile dramatically
Chocolate and orange is one of THE MOST classic pairings in dessert. I would have 100% suggested using a high quality (non Hershey’s, fucking…..ewww…) chocolate and using more sugar like you suggested. However, it may just be your aversion to textures sabotaging you. Idk what to tell you about that fact tho, people like jellies of all kinds. The texture is a non factor to most people.
Love oranges, love orange flavored things, they're probably my favorite. Love chocolate...cannot staaaand them both together. Really any fruit and chocolate outsides of like...raisins I guess. Never really had chocolate covered strawberries I dont think.
Those eggs look amazing! But I hate everything about the chocolate orange concoction, starting with the fact that I hate the combo of chocolate and orange.
I don't know if Gertrude Hawk chocolates is a thing in NY (I think it's just a PA thing) but they had a chocolate orange truffle a few years back and it was to die for. Much better than the chocolate oranges that come out around Christmas time. Shame that chocolate orange thing didn't work out
the syrups the are othen being used are called Jordan's skinny syrups which is a sugar free keto alternative to normal drink flavourings, i do think its pretty hilarious that tiktokers are using coffee and alcohol mixers for there water but to each there own, its also an aussie owned company so you know its a good quality product
Daaamn,I was really hoping for those jellied oranges to turn out good bc they do look amazing and I love orange chocolates but I guess that milk jelly .... Yeah. Those french onion eggs do sound and look amazing but DAMN that is so much work for some deviled eggs
I don't think you've used oranges. Those look a lot like mandarines/clementines/satsumas. And yes, usually oranges (sweet, acidic, fruity) and dark chocolate work quite well together.
i watched Tiffney Ferg's and Annamarie Forcino's videos on Watertok and they both really changed my opinion. They both brought up that many of the people making WaterTok content are former bariatric patients. Part of those surgeries involves going on a very strict all liquid diet after and depending on the surgery might even have trouble absorbing water. Even after that diet is over they have to keep a very high liquid intake from my understanding. Bariatric patients can be drinking like 64 oz of water every day. Many patients talk about how after surgery drinking plain water, something they could do fine before is not something they can do anymore, like it physically makes them feel ill but for some reason maybe flavored water doesn't or only room temp water, or ice cold ect. And learning all that kind of changed my mind on the whole thing. Like I am also picky about my water because I cant "taste" waster so have a water cooler nd get jugs delivered each month and will buy my favorite bottled water when I'm out. But that doesnt make me better than these women because mine is "really " water. Even if it isn't for health and they just like the taste thats fine I do worry about all the fake sugar stuff in some of those drinks but thats on them to deal with not me. I never thought i would have so much to say about unicorn water lol
There's also neurodivergent people. A lot of us hate plain water, for example I can drink plain water if it's in a metal or glass container SOMETIMES, but I can also taste the chlorine and minerals in the water which makes it far less pleasant to drink. I also can't handle water that's in plastic because I'll start tasting the plastic within 5 minutes haha It may not be as intense a reason as bariatric surgery, obviously, but it generally does bother me that the majority of neurotypical 'healthy' people bully and bash on folks who like to simply taste something better than chlorine in their water lol I know me and my girlfriend would be chronically dehydrated without various water flavorings.
8:27 Just FYI, mandarins are not oranges, it's the other way around - oranges are descendants of mandarins (crossed with grapefruit if I remember correctly).
Is the gum flavor supposed to be Juicy Fruit (the yellow package of gum that loses its flavor in 5 minutes)? That is the only way I can see that water tasting like bubble gum.
That drink seems like a mocktail to me. I suspect it originally had an ounce of vodka and probably half an ounce each of strawberry and banana liqueur.
@@Mark-nh2hs it's actually Pro ED/Ana/Mia stuff. It may have started as a way for people to drink lots of water after gastric sleeves and bariatric surgeries.......but it's quickly spiraled to ED tips.

Also, Hershey's isn't the best chocolate to use because it's doesn't have a strong chocolate flavour. If you add cocoa powder, it could have helped the flavour a bit.
You can bulk caramelized onions in a slow cooker or sou vide. It takes like a day, but you can just leave it on it's own so you don't have to stir the entire time.
I don't 4ven like onions, and the last time I had a deviled egg I was like 6 and very displeased by it, but that actually looks SO SO good.
And as for the jello chocolate orange thing... please dont eat that.. love yourself.
I totally forgot about DAVID SEYMOUR! I remember watching you when you first started out trying recipes! Now you have a whole setup and whatnot!
Wellllll the chocolate orange jelly actually looks similar to a traditional Indonesian cake called Nagasari texture wise atleast.
Instead of jello you have a mixture of rice flour and coconut milk and instead of the orange you have slices of banana then it’s wrapped in banana leaves and steamed,
Im not a "Watertok" person at all but the whole point is to use sugar free stuff.... Lol
Those eggs sound amazing and very time consuming. Will definitely be making those soon.
Sliced onions, pinch of salt, tablespoon of brown sugar, toss. Put in crockpot covered on low 8-10 hours (I usually leave em over night) and boom you wake up to caramelized onions with way less effort.
Watching this in the rain, great video
there flavoured water here in South Africa and one day I was like whats the difference between this and soda its fizzy the flavour is strong its sweet the answer is soda has colouring in it and "flavoured water" is clear yeah its not water at that point
The bubblegum water makes more sense if you realize they were using 0 calorie 0 sugar syrup
I literally thought that was a giant native deodorant on your shelf. 1:13
Chocolate and orange are a classic combo? Maybe its not a thing in America? Jaffa cakes, terrys chocolate orange to name a few.
Yet another Home-run of a video! You're out of this world bro!
Chocolate oranges, like the full candy that is sold (with just orange flavor and not the full-on fruit), are delicious. So I can see where that recipe was going, but yeah, it doesn't sound appealing. I think a chocolate ganache (which is SUPER flavorful) over oranges could work. Honestly, though, just get that chocolate orange candy, it is so good! And the chocolate comes separated like orange slices, it is so cute.
People calling those water concoctions "juice" annoys me more than calling it "water" ever will.
Juice comes from fruits and vegetables. Those syrups and flavor packets have probably never been in the same room with anything natural, until they arrived at the store.
Honestly, I use those little packets, and the liquid versions, all the time, so I get why people refer to the result as water. The liquid ones tend to be labeled water enhancers. The powders usually aren't, but if you came in via Mio, it's easy to understand why they're thought of that way. (It's punch or ice tea, imo, depending on the type you add.)
Never tried flavored syrups. The other video I watched on the subject mentioned water tokers using sugar free ones, so the intended result might have been a bit less sickly sweet.
I think the *real* problem here is that Kool-aid, etc, is trademarked and nobody ever came up with a good generic name for what Kool-aid is. I understand why calling it "bubblegum water" sounds more appealing than "bubblegum drink". "Water enhancer" itself feels hyper misleading for something that is definitely just sugar-free drink mix, but people get what you mean.
Definitely agree "juice" is absolutely the worst possible option here, 100%, this is like anti-juice.
@@Nassifeh Punch is the generic term
The ad transition was so funny.
In the international food store, in the Hispanic foods section, there are milk based jello products you make yourself from the packages by mixing it with milk. Caramel, chocolate, pistachio etc. Its not good I agree. Jello just doesnt work in dairy products because like you said your focus is on the texture instead of the flavor. Plus they DO def seem to need more sugar added to them than say a starch based pudding.
It is always so satisfying to watch you cook
I will say WaterTok benefits me as someone who is intolerant to high fructose corn syrup (I get extremely sick) and hates the flavor of diet sodas. I'd rather add these syrups to some water or carbonated water to have something that tastes palatable rather than deprive myself of ever drinking something other than plain water and fruit juice. Sometimes people just want to be able to have things that fit within the lifestyle they have to lead.
Ugh... bubblegum. Not a flavor thats palatable to me. The French onion eggs look hella delicious.
On the topic of “WaterTok” it helps us drink more water.
That's not water. It makes you drink more uncarbonated soda/homemade kool aid
Water tok ladies use zero calorie “syrups”, and an average of 40 ounces of water. It doesn’t look like those syrups are sugar free and it looks like you have maybe 16 ounces of water. That’ll change the flavor profile dramatically
Chocolate oranges do exist. I think your choice of chocolate also made a huge difference. I suggest a dark chocolate 😊❤
How is that first one not just basically kool aid? We cracked that technology back in the sixties. Lol.
For the oranges you can use liquid pectan I think the remove the pith.
My favorite water recipe is cold bean water, oat milk, caramel syrup and honey.
There's an enzyme you can buy and apply to the citrus and it will dissolve the white bits
Chocolate and orange is one of THE MOST classic pairings in dessert. I would have 100% suggested using a high quality (non Hershey’s, fucking…..ewww…) chocolate and using more sugar like you suggested. However, it may just be your aversion to textures sabotaging you. Idk what to tell you about that fact tho, people like jellies of all kinds. The texture is a non factor to most people.
Love oranges, love orange flavored things, they're probably my favorite. Love chocolate...cannot staaaand them both together. Really any fruit and chocolate outsides of like...raisins I guess. Never really had chocolate covered strawberries I dont think.
10:55 orange flavored milk chocolate is good lowkey
Those eggs look amazing! But I hate everything about the chocolate orange concoction, starting with the fact that I hate the combo of chocolate and orange.
I love that you have Giada branded balsamic
Isn't there those 19sth vintage jello era where you make fruit jelly cakes? Could be similar...ly bad.
I don't know if Gertrude Hawk chocolates is a thing in NY (I think it's just a PA thing) but they had a chocolate orange truffle a few years back and it was to die for. Much better than the chocolate oranges that come out around Christmas time. Shame that chocolate orange thing didn't work out
the syrups the are othen being used are called Jordan's skinny syrups which is a sugar free keto alternative to normal drink flavourings, i do think its pretty hilarious that tiktokers are using coffee and alcohol mixers for there water but to each there own, its also an aussie owned company so you know its a good quality product
The fact everyone was so up in arms when it’s literally cordial is so funny to me.
Daaamn,I was really hoping for those jellied oranges to turn out good bc they do look amazing and I love orange chocolates but I guess that milk jelly .... Yeah. Those french onion eggs do sound and look amazing but DAMN that is so much work for some deviled eggs
If you want "true" bubble gum water try big red soda
Do you not have squash/cordial/diluting juice in the US? You put a small amount in a glass then pour in water
🤢🤢🤢🤢 I don't want anything that tastes like bubblegum. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I don't think you've used oranges. Those look a lot like mandarines/clementines/satsumas. And yes, usually oranges (sweet, acidic, fruity) and dark chocolate work quite well together.
Honestly bubblegum water sounds like the nastiest of all 3. Fake banana flavor is vile!
i watched Tiffney Ferg's and Annamarie Forcino's videos on Watertok and they both really changed my opinion. They both brought up that many of the people making WaterTok content are former bariatric patients. Part of those surgeries involves going on a very strict all liquid diet after and depending on the surgery might even have trouble absorbing water. Even after that diet is over they have to keep a very high liquid intake from my understanding. Bariatric patients can be drinking like 64 oz of water every day. Many patients talk about how after surgery drinking plain water, something they could do fine before is not something they can do anymore, like it physically makes them feel ill but for some reason maybe flavored water doesn't or only room temp water, or ice cold ect. And learning all that kind of changed my mind on the whole thing. Like I am also picky about my water because I cant "taste" waster so have a water cooler nd get jugs delivered each month and will buy my favorite bottled water when I'm out. But that doesnt make me better than these women because mine is "really " water. Even if it isn't for health and they just like the taste thats fine I do worry about all the fake sugar stuff in some of those drinks but thats on them to deal with not me. I never thought i would have so much to say about unicorn water lol
There's also neurodivergent people. A lot of us hate plain water, for example I can drink plain water if it's in a metal or glass container SOMETIMES, but I can also taste the chlorine and minerals in the water which makes it far less pleasant to drink. I also can't handle water that's in plastic because I'll start tasting the plastic within 5 minutes haha It may not be as intense a reason as bariatric surgery, obviously, but it generally does bother me that the majority of neurotypical 'healthy' people bully and bash on folks who like to simply taste something better than chlorine in their water lol I know me and my girlfriend would be chronically dehydrated without various water flavorings.
The active look of being done with life in the thumbnail is everything I needed today
I think if you use store brought chocolate milk in the last one, and maybe less agar, it would taste better.
I mean it's not juice either. It's basically an Italian soda meets flavored water
Dude, Terrys Chocolate Oranges!?!
Ty for the new way to make eggs!
I think the water mixins are supposed to be sugar free
8:27 Just FYI, mandarins are not oranges, it's the other way around - oranges are descendants of mandarins (crossed with grapefruit if I remember correctly).
You keep that Russian propaganda to your self
Your videos ALWAYS make my day David! Love you!😊😊❤❤
"Clocked it" okay sis 😂
Watertok is ridiculous to me 🤣 if I add hot chocolate powder to water I guess I can call it chocolate water then 🤣
That's allot of work to go through to make your own Kool aid....ROFL.
Maybe you need to try using dark chocolate ganache instead of light chocolate jello
Do other countries not have cordial? I’m really not understanding this flavoured water thing as an Australian?
I just got my hands a sous vide machine, and I know what I’m gonna use it for.
What if you reduced the broth down to a sauce to dip the eggs in, extra french onion goodness? O.O
Me: I cannot have a 3 Egg Omelette, too many Eggs are not Healthy.
Also Me: Deviled Eggs? Give me a dozen!
Is the gum flavor supposed to be Juicy Fruit (the yellow package of gum that loses its flavor in 5 minutes)? That is the only way I can see that water tasting like bubble gum.
Just the fact that your mom needed actual water after tasting that garbage is pretty much proof that it isn't water.
I feel like the issue with the chocolate orange thing is the poor quality chocolate
Dark chocolate with orange peel tastes amazing. This doesn’t even look good.
cnocolste and orange together, ie jaffa are a classic combination
@Tiffanyferg has a super interesting video going over the trend of watertok if you're actually interested in what the trend is all about
Orange and Chocolate is a wonderful flavor combo but that seemed off. lol
That drink seems like a mocktail to me. I suspect it originally had an ounce of vodka and probably half an ounce each of strawberry and banana liqueur.
you should try pectinase to get rid of pith!
Thanks for the video!
simple on the last one - use better chocolate.
The watertok trend is the most American thing I can think of. I don’t know how the water tastes in the US, but is it THAT bad without anything in it?
it's probably more about being so used to everything you eat/drink having so much sugar that you can't stomach everything that isn't ultra sweet
@@blairfujin I was thinking the same thing
@@Mark-nh2hs it's actually Pro ED/Ana/Mia stuff. It may have started as a way for people to drink lots of water after gastric sleeves and bariatric surgeries.......but it's quickly spiraled to ED tips.
