    I would actually like to see this one revisited, with STRAWS thrown into the equation.
    When you drink from a cup, you're drinking from the top of the mix. But when you drink from a straw, you're drinking from the bottom. How would that affect the flavor profile?

    • @pctus

      It also affects the carbonation when you drink through a straw. Which is why McDonald’s has a patent on their straws because they have a specific design to make the drink taste a good as possible.

    • @Heavy-TF2
      @Heavy-TF2 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      If it’s well-mixed enough at a high temperature before making its temperature lower and you drink it through a McDonald’s straw specifically, it should taste the same if not a little bit less sweet

    I always saw two constants when it came to soda mixing: Dr. Pepper was the "universal receiver", where you could mix just about anything into it for a different though Dr. Pepper forward flavor, and Sprite was the "universal donor", where it could re-carbonate an almost flat soda without affecting the flavor too much.

      Yeah, otherwise how would they be able to accurately reproduce colours without having to do trial and error matching every time... Also paints generally change colour wet to dry (and pigments can also oxidise when mixed/wettened) so knowing your ratios for the final colour you want when dry takes the guesswork out of it 😊

    I once worked at my local Arby’s and for lunch I would take a cup and fill it with the following;
    Sprite, Lemonade, Powerade, and finally, Unsweetened Tea.
    I never really figured out how much of each I just judged the amounts on my own. And in rare occasions if I felt like it I added a tiny part of water if I wanted more drink but felt I already had enough of the sugars and carbonation.

    What I always find fascinating is that when Powerade is included in traditional fountain drink machines it is always Mountain Berry Blast (Blue), but that flavor is never present in the freestyle machines. Probally has something to due with how that flavor is not used with any other drink unlike: orange, grape, fruit punch, etc.

    • @jntproductions1
      @jntproductions1 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hey! Someone who works at a restaurant that has a Freestyle here - you're right on the money. In the lower half of the fountain are boxes with pouches of flavor concentrate (think liquid flavor enhancers like MIO, but without the sweetener.) There are flavor pouches for the regular sodas as well as pouches for the flavors down there, and there really isn't much room. Recently, the raspberry flavor has departed to make room for pineapple, which is a shame, because Coke Raspberry is my favorite flavor. Anywho, it just comes down to them not wanting to sacrifice another flavor or a different soda for a Powerade flavor that probably doesn't sell well when there are so many other options. Hope this helps!

There was a little restaurant in the store and they had a BIG one of the dispensers, it must have had like twenty sodas in it. My littlest brother loved to make the suicide drinks, mix all the flavors in the fountain into one cup. Once, and only once. It tasted like Bubblegum. We would spend months trying to find that perfect combination, and never succeed. Can’t wait to see what you come up with Team!

    Food theory idea:

    So I know we've already covered that we can taste different kinds of water and hear water temperature, but how does that affect out bodies? 👤
    I mainly got this idea from my dad, he is always mad at me for drinking ice-cold water everyday 🧊(not a fan of soda). He says it's unhealthy, as it stiffens my stomach, slowing down my digestive system and makes me more prone to getting sick. 🤢
    He ALWAYS drinks lukewarm or hot water, EVEN DURING HOT DAYS! ☀️
    He says warm water helps keep the stomach running efficiently, and powers up the body to keep moving. 🏃‍♂️
    I normally just shrug it all off, but he mentioned it to me again while I was literally sitting down watching a food theory video and it hit me.
    I could ask HERE! 🙋‍♀️
    I know the probability of this happening is low, especially with Mat signing off soon. But maybe it could work out as a mini food theory? Like a youtube short. 👀

The sprite mostly just adds some fizz without affecting the flavor too much, and the mixes of sugary fruit flavors makes it fantastic (if you're like me and prefer juice to coke)

    Santi Supreme recipe (26:38)
    1 part Dr. Pepper
    1 splash Code Red
    1 splash Orange Fanta
    1 splash Mountain Dew
    1 part Blue Powerade
    1 part Sprite
    1 part Coca-Cola
    1 part Diet Coca-Cola
    Could probably simplify this to just 3 ingredients:
    Santi Select recipe
    1 part Dr. Pepper
    1 part Blue Powerade
    2 parts (Diet) Coca-Cola
    But that's just a theory.

    One of my favorite tricks I learned at a summer camp on a college campus was when combining Mountain Dew with equal parts blue Powerade (and SPECIFICALLY POWERADE) it tastes and looks almost exactly the same as Baja Blast

    For a more fruity mix without dark sodas: sprite, orange soda, pink lemonade, fruit punch (also an overlooked option at some soda fountains) topped with more sprite. I've been doing this one for years!

    I drink very little soda these days but this bring back memories of what every kid did with the drink fountain. I always mixed all of the soda flavors. Since I didn't measure the ratio, no two are the same. This makes me want to relive this bit of childhood innocence next time I go somewhere that has fountain drinks. I might want to do that on a date with my boyfriend.

    Never have I felt more compelled to comment on a Food Theory Video.
    To start, I have been making "self unaliveing" beverages from about as far back as I can remember being presented drink options and choosing all. As a mater of fact I just enjoyed such a mixed beverage with the dinner I consumed watching this video.
    As a chemistry major in college, I actively made a concerted effort to evaluate the concoctions I crafted. However, I feel that my results are drastically different due to several key preferences:
    1. I don't like ice in my drinks (hurts my teeth and waters down the flavor over time)
    2. I generally prefer fruity and citrus flavors over coke related flavors
    3. I can enjoy a very strong sugar flavor in drinks so long as they are also very sour
    4. I never experimented with the mix order as I was often drinking through straws (in college) or letting the drinks mix before consuming
    Some of the major realizations I had were as follows:
    1. Light and dark rarely mix well (as shown by the sprite + coke in the video)
    2. less citrusy fruit flavors (cherry, strawberry, grape, blueberry, blackberry, etc.) work well to bridge the gap and can work well both with dark sodas as well as light ones. (sadly despite my love of cheerwine, its inclusion would often water down the resulting mixture, instead of adding its unique cherry flavor)
    3. honestly, my favorite combinations include mixing real fruit juices with sodas, but as this video is about exclusively what is on tap i will refrain from delving into that particular tangent
    With all of that being said, here are 3 of the concoctions I have come to enjoy over the years (note %'s would vary depending on daily preference)
    1. 45% Cherry Coke + 45% Root Beer + 10% Dr. Pepper - my go to dark drink in college for when I felt so inclined. interestingly the coke and root beer alone would foam excessively developing quite a "head" (this was detrimental to rapidly filling up the cup) but adding just the 10% of dr. pepper would reduce the foam considerably.
    2. 30% Mtn Dew Baha Blast + 20% Mtn Dew + 10% Sierra Mist + 20% Tropicana Fruit Punch + 10% Lemonade + 10% Mango Brisk Iced Tea - Taco Bell staple both acidic and fruity
    3. 30% Cherry Limeade + 20% Raspberry Fanta + 20% Grape Powerade + 20% Mello Yellow (classic) + 10% Orange Sprite - for Coke freestyle machines, many different variations, absolutely prefer the fruit basket approach, the trick is not letting any one fruit flavor become too dominate (like orange)

    I always loved mixing up flavors, and as someone who works at Chuck E. Cheese (that comes with a haunted animatronic by the way) and gets free drinks from two soda fountains, mixing up every single possible combination is heaven for me.
    Right now, my go-to combo is mainly Mountain Dew and Fanta, I’ve found that I don’t like how non-sodas like Powerade and fruit punch tend to take away the sharp punch of sodas, and a dash of Mug Root Beer. Only a dash though, because too much Root Beer and Cola overpowers most other flavors.
    I used to mix every flavor, but not only did that get old, the mixture of Cola, Diet Cola, and Root Beer really just kinda overpowered everything else.
    Anyway this episode was absolutely made for me, thanks MatPat.

    @everest5718 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Making Swamp Water is honestly so much fun, though I never did it at side fountains - at parties I would mix several cans of different sodas to see what it tasted like. My favourite has to be: Cream Soda, Coca-Cola, and Mountain Dew.
