| 0:00.0 | Can you guess the six American drinks that were banned in different countries? |
| 0:03.2 | I think the Mountain Dew has to be on the list because that is motor oil. |
| 0:06.3 | You do think it's motor oil. |
| 0:07.5 | It kind of looks like it too. It does. Indeed. Individably. Indubidably. Uh, no. Relax over there. Oh, calm down. That's my word. Mountain Dew has 46 grams of sugar. It has a dye called Yellow 5 that's banned in Japan, the Netherlands, and the European Union. |
| 0:22.2 | I think that the USA should also ban anything. It has a dye called Yellow 5 that's banned in Japan, the Netherlands, and the European Union. |
| 0:22.2 | I think that the USA should also ban anything with a color and a number next to it. |
| 0:26.7 | I think so too, and that is also on the list. Do you know the name of the dye that's red? Red 40. |
| 0:31.8 | Drinks with Red 40 are banned in Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, and Norway, and have restricted the use of the ingredient and beverages and more. I think that all of those countries were on our top 10 best countries in the world list. Best countries are healthiest. I don't know, but maybe some of them were on both. I think if they banned those in those countries, they definitely should not have that here. I completely agree. I think that we have to be healthier as a country in general. Yeah, we got a lot of work to do. Another one that's on the list, I bet there's energy drinks, Red Bull, Monster, whatever else is there. So Red Bull and other energy drinks also have excessive amounts of caffeine and an ingredient called Torrine. That doesn't sound healthy. Yeah, I don't know what Torine is. Honestly, I don't know what any of these things are, but it's not good for you. |
| 1:13.4 | Me either. |
| 1:13.8 | I actually can't remember the last... an ingredient called Torin. That doesn't sound healthy. Yeah, I don't know what Torine is. Honestly, |
| 1:11.0 | I don't know what any of these things are, but it's not good for you. Me either. I actually can't |
| 1:14.5 | remember the last time I drank an energy drink. Really? Which is probably good for me. Celsius? |
| 1:18.9 | You don't dabble? I don't drink Celsius now. Okay. Forget that sponsorship. I drink Celsius |
| 1:22.9 | all the time. France implemented a 12-year ban of Red Bull and other energy drinks. Since then, it's been lifted, but the fact that they got rid of it for a while kind of scares me. Maybe they switch their ingredients to make it healthier, or like, at least like a little healthier for these countries, to let it back in there. If you're one of those brands that gets banned in a country, I feel like you're kind of eliminating a full market of people. So I feel like you have to fix it and kind of |
| 1:48.5 | keep it similar. I would assume that. I think that there are some brands that are produced and |
| 1:53.1 | made differently in the United States, mainly unhealthier and then produced differently overseas |
| 1:58.9 | in Japan, in Europe, in United King, and whatever. |
| 2:01.5 | If Red 40 is just a food dye, then like, why not just change the food die? No? |
| 2:07.1 | I don't know what the purpose of Red 40 is. I feel like it's got to have some like addictive flavor or taste. |
| 2:12.4 | Because why else what they put it in? It's a food dye used to add vibrant red color to foods, drinks, |
| 2:16.9 | cosmetic, and medications approved by the FDA. It is widely using candy, snacks, beverages. Through some studies may cause hyperactivity in children, allergies or potential health concerns. Yeah, it's on and off. So I feel like it has like any hesitation for it. What's the point? What's the point of it? Like, why don't you, why make it that red? |
| 2:35.1 | I think it must affect sales. Like, it's like a psychology thing. Like, if it looks that red, like think of fruit punch. You love fruit punch, right? Yeah, but usually I'm drinking fruit punch at, well, I guess not. I think I was thinking juice box. I think red 40 in it. Yeah, but if I drink high C, I'm drinking out of a juice box. I don't even see the color. Oh, you don't do the |
