Hey Brew!
How's it going?
With nord VPN I went to Microsoft and stole their secret plans if they caught me I would use nord VPN and noclip out a there and go to Australia
I absolutely promise that the companies that stopped using diacetyl did so because they saw lawsuits on the horizon and not because they were concerned their customers might get sick.
Of course. Profits first people come later
@@gigahertz5831 You can always get more people, but profits can never be replaced... wait
That's companies for ya
@@Dienow3xw Things might be different in other parts of the world, but that's the way it is in the US.
@@rickseiden1 actually fairly consistent between countries, greed is a strong motivator
Never eat popcorn too much, or your lungs might *"pop"*
Guess you could say that was pretty _breathtaking_
heh, good joke
Bruh
🤦♀️
-Sarcastic "booo"-
plz stop
This is insane! I’m 45 and this is the first I’m hearing about “popcorn lung”?! So many people could be suffering from this and not know it!
Hmm . . . As someone who used to work in movie theaters when I was in college, it would be interesting to know if this problem has ever been found in movie theater employees. The “butter” used on movie theater popcorn is actually oil with butter flavoring, the same as microwave popcorn, so I can imagine it could have the same affects.
I've seen the butter oils mixed in after the popping done in theaters, perhaps that and far better air circulation reduces the airborne levels substantially
i though it was corn syrup
@@reruka3479 uh no, corn syrup is sweet.
Makes me wonder working there for 5yrs.
The dispenser is labeled as "golden flavoring" at my local theater, which cracks me up. When I order the popcorn without golden flavor, usually I get weird looks, though, and have to explain "no butter".
Fun fact: Diacetyl is where the big vape scare initially came from. It used to be used to enhance the flavor of a lot of vape liquids and caused a few cases of popcorn lung. It's not used in vape liquids anymore because of many of the findings mentioned in this video. :)
Still has nicotine
@@gargoylelamp39 You can get vape juices without nicotine
actually it never caused a single case of popcorn lung. it was banned out of an abundance of caution. there's more diacetyl in cigarette smoke than even buttered popcorn flavored vape juice.
@@Zreknarf Yup. The REALLY big vape scare where people actually died was from marijuana vape fluids that used vitamin E acetate as a thickening agent. Vape fluid really needs to be regulated, but the way the FDA wants to regulate it is incredibly onerous because they want to have a $100k study done on each individual product if even one ingredient differs in quantity, instead of just having studies to approve the ingredients.
e.g. you could have separate strawberry flavor and a banana flavor vape juice and pay money to have each approved, but if you wanted to have a strawberry banana flavor you'd have to get THAT studied and approved too even though it was made of the same stuff as the separate flavors.
@@NozomuYume i mean i can see some sense to that. elemental sodium is dangerous to humans, elemental chlorine is dangerous to virtually all life, but NaCl is delicious. it would be fun if they ran those $100k studies on each of the 7000+ combustion products in a cigarette.
Never in my LIFE would I expect Brew to say "homie popped off," but I'm glad I did
When?!
@@giornogiovanna9958 7:49
@@giornogiovanna9958 man you really popped off in that Diavolo fight.
What are you glad you did?
Anxiously looking forward to hearing this!!!!!
I absolutely love how brew pops out from anywhere and “ruins” whatever his friends are doing😭 it’s really funny
Same it’s always funny
You’re assuming that guy has friends.
Pops.
As a popcorn lover who could literally live off the stuff, I feel betrayed. XD
Welp, I'll just stick to my homemade popcorn from now on.
Homemade popcorn is the best 😋😋
yeah, it's not the popcorn, it's an additive... you surely better to top it on your own
@@micahgelfand8282 It is. I make a mean batch of movie theatre popcorn that all my guests gobble up in 10 minutes flat. :p
Mmmmmmm, time to go make a batch.
@@vooshmoozik6185 I am also addicted to air-popped popcorn, no salt or butter, so yeah, it's *definitely* the popcorn. XD
95% airpop, 5% movie theatre butter, 5% kettlecorn. The best essential popcorn food groups.
I have found my people
I’m with Grill on this one, no one interrupts movie night. Like you’re casually watching The Conjuring and then Brew pops out from behind your couch to talk about how the movie haunted theatres when it came out.
I think it's safe to say Brew is the scariest when watching scary movies at night. Or any movie for that matter.
I wonder if Movie Night also doubles as a Date Night between Chill & Grill
ALSO: Those two really do make for a cute couple
@@TheAyanamiRei I agree
@@jehoiakimelidoronila5450 he's the friend that gives you info when you least want it. One moment you're ready to experience life the next you're having an Existential crisis because you find out being outside can do you harm but so can being indoors
Bro chill´s eyeroll when he first scared them
The warning to open the bag away from your face predates diacetyl concerns by quite a bit. A blast of steam in the face has a much higher immediate potential for severe injury than long term exposure to possibly harmful fumes
ummm… i burnt popcorn today and opened the bag right in front of my face and like it BURNED my nostrils 😅 hope i’m ok
@@omgitsmeee Cancer. I'm sorry.
@@drunkenrambler8138 It’s been 2 months and i’m certainly ok lol
@@omgitsmeee That's what the super ebola wants you to believe.
I'm not going to eat it either
Also, I'm worried for anyone who works in the movie theaters! Doesn't that mean their at risk for this popcorn disease.
Not really as the vapours arent trapped in bags when produce therefore the air is less concentrated
Even more reason for me to continue making my own pop corn in an air popcorn maker.
Popcorn is safe every year if u make it yourself.
For a second there, i thought I was in trouble for eating so much popcorn lately. Apparently its the butter flavoring, which I dont use since I just buy regular popcorn kernels (not in the bag), and use my own flavorings (no butter).
The flavoring is horrendous
An air popper is awesome.
My school has a popcorn maker. The dust flavoring is the worst thing ever. I ate a tablespoon of it for 2 dollars. Not worth it.
@@Gatorade69 Agreed
@@Gatorade69 I heard you like mudkips
“Popcorn lung! Popcorn lung! It comes at night so, so stay in the sun!”
I absolutely lost it right then! 🤣
I thought he said "save the sun"
I wish I could loose it so easily as you do...
@@jazminakarainy same yet i laugh harder than needed
@@oblivionrpg22 *lose
I like Chill he's funny xD
2:55 Chill's face... OMG
The one time I tried to make microwave popcorn, the stuff smelled revolting and we threw it away without eating, never bought microwave popcorn again after that.
Thank you, Brew, for once again giving me another phobia of something I would never mind otherwise
Same
Im only eating 1 popcorn each year
@Opposinn Dog but.. the butter's the good part
Opposinn Dog
Oh ty I love cheese popcorn ;w;
Ann Reardon chocolate popcorn is great too. No need for butter
Been watching Brew for over a year, and I'm still a bit weirded out over the faces with no noses.
Edit: yes, obviously I mean the more realistic faces.
The more realistic ones without noses or the avatars without noses?
Bizarre to hear that given theres so many cartoon styles without noses.
That's because they're mouth breathers.
@souless yeah, they're... a bit weird.
Then you haven´t watched enough anime. Most of the time noses are just a little dot
5:06 i didnt know Voldemort was talking about popcorn 😂
I remember when I was like 13 I opened up a freshly microwaved bag of popcorn in my brother's face. I didn't mean to cause any harm, I was just trying to tease him with the smell. He started choking for a few seconds but seemed okay after that. I feel bad about it every time I think about it.
I always assumed the popcorn bags came with the warning label because people would open them and get burned by the steam.
Exactly!
You can always just buy dried corn kernels and make popcorn yourself, without any diacetyl.
I am still researching but they say butter has DIACETYL
naturally. I still wonder if the artificial is different but they are not saying??
Wrong any natural butter when evaporate have diacetyl
How did the Original Americans pop it@@rat2316
I remember selling Trails End popcorn (made by Pop Weaver) as a Boy Scout and seeing stuff in the marketing about it being diacetyl free. Only now watching this video have I finally learned what that was about. While I'm sure it wouldn't have affected any customers, it is good to know that factory workers wouldn't have been at risk over that. It also makes the revelation at 10:00 that Pop Weaver is among those who no longer use it not surprising to me.
Once it was established that the stuff was indeed harming workers, they had to stop. It wasn't because of the goodness of their hearts.
4:33 Chill: POPCORN LUNG POPCORN LUNG IT COMES AT NIGHT AND STAYS IN THE SUN. THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH
And my friends thought I was weird for opening my popcorn bags outside. I’d shake it as far away from me, with my head turned away, until most of the vapors are gone. The vapors always gave me stomachaches and a headache. 😅 It is relieving to know that you can avoid popcorn lung simply by limiting your butter popcorn intake. As of late I mostly just buy kernels.
"But, what about that coff...." Are we sure Brew didn't take his mug to the back of Grill's head right there?
You can even see Brew's expression change for a split second
You could say Brew has *Coff*ee lung
@@davidthemaster7244 _wheeze_
I think he downed the coffee then did it because as we all know, Brew isn’t one to waste coffee.
This is interesting. The smell of popcorn specifically has always made me super nauseous. I can't even be in a room where someone microwaved popcorn for like an hour or two afterwards.
“How he did eat so much popcorn and didn’t get sick?”
“That’s the point he did!”
“Oh”
I like the brew character waits till their friends enjoy something just for him to ruin it.
And in turn they almost ruin his coffee addiction. Just need a few more noxious fumes/poisonous chemical and he might quit cold turkey
9:40
Brew contemplates about limiting his coffee addiction or possibly developing a lung disease.
He decides to have a lung disease
It's coffee.. It's a necessity
Half if not most of us can't function without coffee...
I mean honestly, same
@@koutareyama8393 try tea! It has less caffeine than coffee though.
@@XiELEd4377 Sorry, i know you mean well but... Tea doesn't do anything for me, i've tried. If anything it just made go to bathroom more.
My mom has this exact problem, she's sent into a coughing fit whenever she's anywhere near a bowl of popcorn.
Grill: “Is nothing sacred to you, you monster?”
Brew: “No”
Coffee: 👀
“Shortness of breath and coughing fit” well we don’t need more of that especially in these times, do we.
grill: how can someone eat that much popcorn without getting sick?
brew: he did
grill: oh
chills face xd
4:16 Brew's words of affirmation- a new core memory
I was first scared when watching this, but then when I got to the part saying that you’ll be fine if you eat microwaved popcorn once a week, I was fine
Grill: Is nothing sacred to you?!
Brew: No! :D
Also Brew: *Proceeds to ignore the fact coffee does the same bad thing.*
Well he's brew
the solid 5 seconds it took for him to come to terms with the new info was perfect.
He did say it was produced in the roasting process, not the brewing process.
you don't mess with coffee!
You just don't
Coffee actually doesn't. It's in such a low concentration that it's essentially negligible. Unless you're brewing thousands of gallons of coffee a day and directly inhaling the fumes the entire time, coffee is fine
I had a room mate in college whose parents bought him popcorn by the pallet. He would go through about 20-30 bags per week.
You went to school with Orville Redenbacher. Nice.
@@williamconrad1087 No his name was Shady. Although thanks to all that snacking he was by no means slim.
So, doesn't mean he ate 6 bags of popcorn.
@@jellybomb4074 Per day? He averaged about 4. Some days were less, some more. He would skip the popcorn and eat an entire cake or up to 5 dozen cookies if I had them out cooling. He even ate an entire pie my aunt had driven 9 hours to give me for my birthday. Master moocher.
@@dhawthorne1634 oh ok
the guy who ate that much popcorn isn't entitled to any compensation are you kidding me??
why did they give him so much money when it was 100% his own fault for eating so much FOR YEARS
I buy organic popcorn kernels and pop them in a metal pan designed just for that on my stovetop. I use coconut oil, salt and sweet curry, but other oils can be used. Butter, and whatever else you want on the popcorn can be added after it's cooked. It's safe and delicious!
I've eaten pancakes every day for 2 years can't wait to be on one of these videos!
Not being able to drink my coffee every morning, noon and night gives me conniptions
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Coffee is the life blood of some elder God or ancient entity that has sacrificed itself for our well-being, to not Coffee is to sin.
@@thehat4244 *furious British sounds
@@MyDogIsYoshi you can get coffee at wendy's, haven't you heard the song?
yea that sounds like withdrawal
I have my own reasons for being careful around popcorn. One time, years ago, I had an abscessed tooth extracted which left a nice gap in my teeth. Ever since then my concerns with popcorn stemmed from the fear that the parts that get stuck between your teeth may get stuck inside that gap where the tooth was extracted.
I can totally vibe with how Brew has a story for everything. People can be doing something simple as eating popcorn and he pops in with something like “you know there was this one guy who…” and proceeds to tell a whole scientifically informed story. In my friend group I’m definitely like Brew
I actually heard about Popcorn Lung when I was researching vape juice flavors. When I was vaping, I had to stop using desert flavors like Cereal Killer because they can cause the same issue. I guess they must use diacetyl too?
Cereal Killer?
@@dinosaurusrex1482 yes there's some weird vape flavor names out there lol (coming from a vape user of 5+ years)
Edit: swipe strikes again
Any buttery flavors, and a lot of the dessert flavors. Best stick to fruit and drink flavors for vapes
@@dinosaurusrex1482 It's a bad habit...
I never liked the dessert flavors, I always stick with fruit flavors, usually sour blue raspberry because it's close to the blue bombpops I loved growing up.
The irony I purchase popcorn from a gas station im currently eating while receiving the notification for this video. However I do know that anything in moderation is OK to eat however eating it whatever it is all the time can cause issues
I watch ur videos for a long time but today with headphones for the first time, very good spatial audio
Never have I ever been more thankful to be able to make my own popcorn...
Mate, you're gonna have to start drawing noses on human beings. They look like some aquatic Lovecraft monster. Its fine for your forehead-mascot presenters but when you're doing a story about a medical problem I keep thinking "CHRIST! LOOK WHAT IT DID TO HIS NOSE!".
That’s exactly what I thought but I noticed they’re all missing a nose. Either it’s contagious or this guy’s anti-nose for some reason.
Cartoons don't need noses to breathe,,,🤔😲😳😂🤣🥴🤫🤦♂️
@@CiscoWes what? Aren't you anti-nose too? I am. I thought everyone was nowadays
@@xbrandi12345x Yeah, noses are over-rated. They all smell. Get it? ba dum tss.
I'll let myself out.
Brother in law eats pop corn literally 3 times a day mayne we should encourage him to eat more
I heard of Popcorn Lung from a marijuana dispensary in Colorado a few years ago.
They said people need to be careful on what type of oils they buy for their vap pen because of Popcorn Long.
This makes sense simply because people are breathing in man made vapor that, at the time, was not highly regulated.
is the corn long or does it like make the lung long or smth?
avoid buttery flavors in vapes regardless, but most manufacturers of vape flavors now are banned from using diacetyl
And a lot of vape advocates actively ignore that vape includes literally any ingredients other than water and nicotine. "No, it's just my nicotine fix dilluted in water! No additives or toxic substances at all! Ignore the cotton candy smell."
@@RoninCatholic Carts don’t have nicotine at all, it’s just Thc oil or a resin including some terpenes and maybe Cbd.
Yeah thats what I thought lol
I love how no matter how annoy Grill seems at Brew's stories, he always get into it, and even asks questions.
You are the best brew!!! I watch all your episodes and I got hooked with it. Keep up the good work!!!❤
popcorn is really good, even though you can die from it. like basically anything in this world if you do it too much.
Air
Sums up the video nicely
Nice pfp
That's what's important to note here
The guy that contracted lung failure from the fumes at home was popping and eating 2-3 bags a day for 10 years straight. A level of exposure basically nobody without that weird compulsive habit is going to come anywhere close to.
@@cryptidproductions3160 i was eating like 4 or 5 bags a day years and years ago. i had to get 18 bag boxes of popcorn so i’d be okay for like maybe 3 days
I think having Brew as your friend will both be annoying and amazing; he ruins what you like and makes you double think about what you do but also informs you about health.
The epidemiologist Dr. Eduardo Simões is brazilian I'm so proud of my fellow countrymen!
I love this it made my heart all warm inside. Love seeing the boys alone in the house together like the good old days and acting like brothers.
Their bfs tho
@@Roninkinx Yeah I know.
Now I want popcorn knowing that it can make me sick. It looked so good in the clips.
I really love this one 9:39 brew says *"looks at coffee"* "I'm okay with this." and grill saying "But what about the coffee-"
I love the idea of Brew materialising from behind the couch with some wierd facts 😂
To be fair, that's the sort of thing I would do too lol
Microwave popcorn may be easy for you but homemade popcorn with artisanal flavours is always the right choice, clarified butter is a great addition for that movie theatre quality popcorn.
Developing a disease just because I breathe it in gives me conniptions
A lot of vape products contain diacetyl , especially, vanilla and caramel flavours, hence why a lot of vaping kids are suffering with popcorn lung.
i could just imagine being brew's roommate. never an ignorant moment, or dull. (btw, yay knowledge)
My corn allergy is massive, has been a plague for years. And yes, popcorn can trigger it... Just being popped in the airspace I'm using.
Needless to say, I don't do movie theaters much.
What's the element in corn that triggers it? Are you unsafe in other environments?
@@BansheeVanRaven ANY aspect of corn. Pollen, *corn fed meat and eggs* give me major migraines, and we won't even start on actually eating corn itself. Corn syrup and corn starch, masa and corn derived substances... Even sorghum, a close relation to Corn will set me off.
I said MASSIVE and the same symptoms occur when I eat anything peanut... Sometimes the smell of peanut butter makes me queasy.
This has been four decades of my life.
Other allergies include all Nightshades, gluten grains (starchy foods in general don't digest in a reasonable manner), basic fruits (apples and tree fruit, berries, melons...) and anything else on the menu that is orange or yellow (shooting pain along the nerves).
Chemical stew in tap water sets me off, too. Chocolate. All citrus but limes (oddly).
@@AveryMilieu daaaaymn!! Biology can be a d!ck. I don't metabolise carbs well myself. Instead of giving me energy it actually depletes it. But that's nothing in comparison to yours.
My son has a bad corn allergy and it’s in everything!
@@AveryMilieu ....but whats left? what do you eat? must be expensive to manage getting foods that are safe for you
I still cant get used to the drawings of actual people without noses.
popping episode my friend
The theme always puts me in a dancy mood
bro he was eating 2 bags of popcorn a day replace that popcorn with anything and you'll get similar result. if I drink 1 barrel of water a day and explode my stomach am I gonna sue god for not putting a warning tag on the lake??
Of course not. You would sue the person who made the barrel.
Im pretty sure that you can drink a big popcorn pack sized barrel of water a day and not explode. It will be rather healthy and clean your body. And also help with losing weight.
@@johnnystankiewicz295 depending on how fast you drink it, it wouldn't considering water intoxication is a thing and can be fatal.
@@johnnystankiewicz295 popcorn size is called bucket not barrel. To qualify as a barrel it needs to be 31.5(120 liter) to 42 gallons for liquids
I've technically always had a lung disease.
A hole in my lungs as a baby, asthma until i was 12. I've only had a few years without asthma but when I run I still feel the effects of my past
Exercise induced asthma
nitpick but
*effects
ive never seen chill so unamused before and i love it
I literally love how most of the stuff that brew mentions includes coffee
Me: /munching on popcorn/ oh look, a new Brew video!
End of video:
Me:…../keeps eating popcorn, and brews a cup of coffee to go with it/
*What I expected when clicking this recommendation:* To develop an immediate phobia of popcorn and increased anxiety about my well-being.
*What I got:* An itchy discomfort seeing faces drawn realistically but without noses.
Keep up the great work, I guess? 😫
5:06 😖
@@sprite2797 I've a feeling I'll one day be showing this to a psychiatrist.
If they don't have noses, they can't inhale the popcorn smell, so they can't get lung disease. 😏
@@Soleilune1995 Mouths:
I’m used to it
Thanks Brew. I work in a coffee shop as a second job and now I'm freaked out.
Actually, when I was younger I went to the movie theaters and I ate too much popcorn and got sick, the smell of popcorn when I was leaving made me feel even more ill let's just say that was an unpleasant car ride back home😔
the no noses thing is nightmare fuel.
0:42
Chill is just like: sorry but could you not please
When I had my second apartment I had bad money troubles. I had no food and was hungry. One Day they hung single bags of popcorn on all the door handles in the complex. I ended up with around 50-100 bags... Popcorn was my main food source for about a Month after that. Fun times!
If you look closely at this part you can see brew get angry ">:(" 10:19
Props to the doctor knowledge with other cases leading to the right diagnose.
Nice, to start the morning with a Brew Video.
NOTE TO SELF:
don't ever do anything that will get me famous, or else Brew will make me into a horrifying noseless cartoon character monstrosity of myself.
OH SHUT UP AND JUST FOCUS ON THE F'ING TOPIC
brew is giving me every single reason in the world why to fear everything i see
I switched from microwave popcorn bags to seeds in a silicon bowl a long time ago. I can control the ingredients that way, no more preservatives or artificial stuff.
Those noseless portraits gonna live on certain corner in my head forever.
You and me both, I had a sudden urge to sharpie some noses on my phone screen where their faces were.
1:39
Ok I'm wondering how he can smell without a nose?
Nose ❤😂😂
7:50 i never thought brew would say "homie popped off"
Everytime Chill or Grill does something, Brew's right there.
Standing, in the corner next to the coffee machine, waiting for any serious health or mental instabilities those two undergo.
They cannot escape the factoids.
-Well that's the thing, he did
-*oh*
got me dying
i started eating a lot of popcorn daily since like 3 weeks ago, never eaten much in my life before
thank god i only use oil and salt, cuz im loving it, and dont wanna quit
Oddly, this video has made me want to eat popcorn instead of avoid it
I hope it doesn't contain diacetyl!
Dear Popcorn,
We were good friends but it’s time that you go
Popcorn: IM A SUPER SPY
A man was breathing for 100 years, this is what happend to his body
"Homie popped off" that had me chuckling, was not expecting that type of speech from you.
7:10 this image will be haunting my dreams forever lol
2:27 That reaction is somehow so Brew while also being so unexpected and I love it
Huh, I always thought the "open at from face" warning was about the hot steam that was still in the bag that could escape and burn you. I'm pretty sure I have burned myself that way, tbh, though nothing lasting.
I always figured the "open away from face" warning was for hot steam burns
As someone who doesn't eat popcorn, I'm glad to say I only have to worry about silicosis, since I work in the mining industry.
