Have you ever had a drink of a beer that tasted rancid? Well that could be because it was skunked! No, we are not talking about beer made from a skunk or it's stank. I'm talking about when the sun RUINS your drink. Some are guiltier than others when it comes to their bottle design, so I figured that for the end of summer it was time to try and SAVE your beer! Plus, one beer that you may want to leave in the sun to HELP it...

This reminds me of the good ol days where Tik Tok was just a song and Corona was just a beer.

The secret message that he talks about during the sciencey part is a code, when you put all the letter's 3 steps ahead of where they are (ex:w=t) you get: "this is indeed a secret message" I was hoping for another arg, but this was a fun use of 5 minuets

Can y’all do an episode on the five second rule? Like how accurate it is? I know it’s probably not I’m just super interested in the science of it :) love all the food theory vids!!

So I have a theory idea: When I shop at Walmart, I notice that the checkout beeps from the machines seem to be tuned to a tritone (one of the most unsettled and dissonant intervals in western music harmony) This is mostly consistent across locations and I'm wondering if this is intentional to make guests unsettled in the checkout to encourage them to move faster. Thank you!

Matpat sounds suspiciously like a supervillain in this one. Between the dungeon, the bribing, and the gun.

As a mexican I feel honored that Modelo and Corona beers were involved in this ex-beer-ament

As a chemist and beer lover, I once attended a seminar on this very topic. If I remember correctly, Corona does in fact rely on light induced skunkiness to improve the taste, in normal beer there is a compound that reacts with the 3-MBT that leads to an awful taste. Basically Corona prevents that from happening however while the taste improves the scent does not. In some cases it can smell like cat pee, this is why Corona is always marketed with a lime wedge, the lime is intended to mask the scent of the skunked beer.

The way he immediately had the beer hat on with two cans in hand was perfect

Brewer here, so temperature does change taste but its perceived taste. At colder temperatures your tongue can't taste as effectively and you get less flavor, that's why many Corona drinkers find that colder beer tastes better. The chemical reaction is still there from being lightstruck, but you can't perceive that flavor as well. Mat touched on this a bit, some beers are designed around the skunkiness, Corona and Heineken are examples, they chose clear or green glass because those are less effective at filtering sunlight. While most beers use brown glass or cans, which is much more effective at filtering that light, thus preventing that chemical reaction.

Hey Matt! I've always been told that coffee is the go-to for a bad hangover. But is there a way to prove what would actually help a hangover? How does alchohol invoke a hangover? and what foods or beverages would actually combat the symptoms? Do you consume the cure before or after you drink? Does coffee actually work or is there a better way? And if there is, how would you figure it out?

If Corona's taste is actually made with skunking in mind, that's kind of genius.

Congratulations MatPat, you have made your videos so fun and interesting that someone who is deathly allergic to ethanol (my throat will literally swell shut if I'm exposed to even the fumes) just watched two videos about alcoholic beverages. I'm impressed.
