the reason why the ice cream machine is broken all the time is because the ice cream is 12.7% hydrochloric acid

@@greggersonny only 12.3% seems like it should be at least 50. (To be clear I know it’s stupid)

​@@theofficialgamerman you're an imposter, you're the official gamer man not an official sprite

That sounds oddly good

Not a single ice cube left in the McDonalds one. The Coca Cola standard is to fully fill the cup with ice so clearly it’s 50/50 water and Sprite by the time of filming.

It’s not that sort of video today

It is not a test for difference, it is to notice the type. And thh that is aloy of variablez

they should have done a gag taste test. then they could see the silenced flavors.

I'm waiting for the theory of how many germs are there when sharing food/drinks.

Honestly it was bothering me so much 😭

I actually shivered every time I saw that

Yeah it would have been better if he did this with Stephanie.

I wonder if that was why they broke out a second glass bottle and plastic cup.

Facts

@@SturnioloTripletsoff ktya

Our store probably just wasn’t big enough to have them :,)

I was just thinking the same thing

I was thinking the EXACT same thing 😅

Yeah but they still seemed to like it even more than the rest of them. Usually, when I get soda from McDonald's, if I leave it too long, it tastes gross. I don't think they would have preferred it over the rest of it had sat too long.

Was thinking the same

I think they let the ice melt specifically because the standard "1:5 water:syrup ratio" they use includes the ice being melted. But if other restaurants are not using this same standard that INCLUDES melted ice. This makes McDonald's soda naturally sweeter in the beginning, and just normal if the ice melts fully.

I was surprised they skipped this, of course a drink sitting out for 30 minutes is going to be less carbonated like wtf, leave the can and bottles open that long and see how much they have left

I was thinking that the whole time 😭

Even smart people forget how germs work now and again I guess...

I was hoping other people had noticed

AYO that is funny

I was looking for this comment bc to me it’s pointless to use different straws

YEAH I def get wat u're sayin

I'm just assuming he has a whole stack of straws and uses a new one each time.

I could not stop noticing that. 😬

No double dipping!!

@@TheSpencermacdougall Hopefully…

It is legitimately bothering me so much

I think everyone can

Ooooww u just got grilled

My sister dips everything in her drink 💀

I did as long as I can remember, and I still do. McDonald’s fries + McDonald’s sprite is the best combo

I honestly expected it

I agree, I'm surprised it wasn't a blind taste test because I feel like might be some bias going on with the whole "vibes" thing

Yeah my first thought. Fountain soda goes flat ASAP. That is why I generally dislike ordering it unless I am right there and then... This is like the third test where they ordered fountain and compared it at home. It is like the ice melted somewhat and the soda definitely flattened out. Soda goes flat pretty quickly in general which is why I prefer cans or small bottles. Wish I had a sparkler machine at home so I could over carbanate soda before drinking it as it drastically changes the tastes. Use to use this Pizza Hut machine to make mountain dew and thing was not calibrated I think because it was spicey AF and GLORIOUS!

My first thought was “why aren’t these behind a box for a blind taste test?” Like, how can you say for certainty that it’s different if you had a visual que to tell you it’s different the whole time

They could make this test maybe at the very McDonald's, popping some new post mix drink every time they gonna take a sip and compare to the other things.

They also weren't blind testing, so the bias (even if unintentional) would still be there.

Maybe they could do a blind sample next time by putting all of the sprites in the same type of container in a fridge for some time so they are all at the same temperature. (And don’t put ice in the McDonald’s one). Then after they’ve been chilled at the same temperature, they could try them. This would create a more even playing field and maybe we would get better results!

I agree with this but I also was thinking that when they drink with a straw out of a can and the bottles it is more concentrated that when you just sip out of it like you usually do. I think that when you compare the McDonald’s sprite with the straw to the others without the straw the McDonald’s one will be spicier and better than the others.

I want to know if they got it in the drive thru or got it from the coca cola freestyle dispenser I feel like the freestyle dispenser makes sodas taste way different either to strong or too weak never just right. I think the drive thru might use a different dispenser but I may be wrong or just crazy

Veryyyyy biggg

muy interesante y algo alocadas algunas de estas teorías!!

Nice

Good

She thicc

Ohh good point

Ohhh that's interesting o: I didn't think of that

Each with and without ice would isolate more variables, too. I'm a sans ice fan myself -- gimme the burn for as long as possible!

I think more importantly they tested two different things . Sprite in a bottle/can was made to be poured in a glass over ice. The carbonation is stronger in the can/bottle but once you poured it in a glass it will be exactly likes mcdonald's, and the ice will water it down just enough to make it pleasant. Edit: Im a chronic soda drinker and I refuse to drink any soda without Ice. it changes it

There's also the fact that the sealed sprites were just opened then, but who knows how long the mcdonalds sprite has been sitting in that cup.

I was thinking the same thing. As a matter of course fountain dreams go flat quicker. The ice also gives more spots for bubbles to condense and leave the soda.

Agreed. Compare the walk to the table, to the drive home and setup for video recording.

Yeah!! He needs to see this

There are definitely ways they could have mitigated the carbonation loss. But, because it was never discussed in the video, I doubt they did any of them. Similarly, Team Theorist should have blinded the taste testers to the best of their ability. Maybe they felt it was just too much of a hassle because fountain drinks, necessarily, have ice in them. But it still pings as a little weird since I feel like they've done it in more complicated scenarios before. Perhaps this video was more off the cuff with folks having been out of town for that Taylor Swift concert 😅

Agreed that's all I could think about. Not sure this test was as proper as it could have been.

Yes I think there has to be something with it being mixed when you receive it from a fountain to help with that "freshness"

This is definitely the part 2 of this “sprite era”

I agree, i've always thought that Burger King's fanta exotic tastes so much better than the regular fanta exotic.

@@colle3291 I've always thought Burger King's sprite was worse than McDonald's.

Whatever employee he asked was probably like “yeaaaaaaa we totally get syrup sent in through metal casings it’s totally not where we keep the carbonation”

Also notice that

For my own sanity, I'm assuming it's different straws.

And then put it back in the soda.

Saaaaame! And then told her to have another sip 😂😂 noooooo

So glad I’m not alone!!😂🤣

Came to the comments to find this one. Completely negated the use and sanitary purpose of the separate straws.

Also it would have lost carbonation in the dispensing. And they were drinking directly from the bottles/can

Also the amount of ice melt would be affected.

@@Atlessa I love your picture 🥰

Yeah if they didn't drink the Sprite within 10 minutes from getting it at McDonald's then the experiment is invalid.

Also reusing the straws in the different samples and not having a blind taste test is contaminating this experiment and the bias is invalidating the results.

That's president to you and I implore you to put some respec on the mans title.

Ever see the short of the woman kicking open the bottle of beer with another bottle then giving the eyebrows? Same vibe

the straw has both red and yellow lines, she just rotated it

That's what I was thinking too. Like how long have those McDonald's drinks been sitting there? It's not properly sealed, it's going to lose carbonation the second its poured.

Also, the one they said was the most carbonated was the one most tightly sealed, the can.

Lol yup

It's science!!

In a couple of mattpats videos I've seen variables that don't appear to be mentioned 🤔

@@Nebulizer-qs9td It was mentioned in this video at 7:18

@@DreamLogic26 thanks for pointing that out, must've missed that the first time 😅

Ummm...ya...veg oil is how fries are made in the US. It's very very rare to get fries made with tallow... Almost unheard of.

difference is that at McDonald's the mix was done before you drink it, while the bottled one was done probably month ago with the bottle shaking infinite amount of times. That's why a lot of carbonation just fly away when you open it and it feels more flat.

@@s.i.m.c.aFr. McDonald's soda is Slap City. What's your favorite drink there?

Could not agree more.

That's what I was thinking the entire time. Soft drinks are at their best when consumed directly after dispensing. After a few minutes it already loses so much of its fizz

Yea I definitely agree. They should have been in the car and tasted it right as they got it. Cause there is no way that it’s less carbonated than a glass bottle of sprite 🤨

“At _least_ “ Um, *what?* 😂

I think that's definitely a factor in the results from the video. It probably would have been a more reliable taste test if they'd filmed at, or outside of, the location they got the fountain drinks at. Or, alternatively, ordering a few no-ice sprites to immediately seal into chilled containers, and a few bags of McDonald's ice, to recreate the fresh fountain drink experience as much as possible.

beceause he would smash

Agree, or adding ice to the others. So many variables 😅

As someone who's worked at a bunch of different places with fountain machines, I can tell you that 1. McDonald's Sprite syrup actually looks different 2. Depending on where you get the soda from it can taste different, even if it's the same exact soda. For reference, I've worked at Shell, Mobil, Chevron, quikstop, arco, speedway, loop, and mcdonalds. And at some of those companies I worked in multiple stores and covered in stores across multiple different cites. All of these places used BIB's, which literally stands for bag in a box. It's basically a bag of syrup inside a box that protects it. But companies get BIB's from different vendors and it was pretty much always the case that coke product BIB's were bought from a separate vendor while most coke products were bought directly from coke. And weirdly enough, quikstops tasted better than most. And when I worked for speedway, I had to cover at a store 2 hours away a few times and their soda tasted different than ours. And when I moved on from gas station work because mcdonalds surprisingly paid better, it was a shock to see that their syrup actually had a golden tint to it. All the other places I worked had clear syrup in the BIB's.

As someone who drinks wayyy to much Mtn Dew I can tell you that fountain drinks do 100% taste different. It was pointed out to me by a former boss and now I can't not taste it.

Fountain drinks definitely have a different taste than bottles. Not sure compared to cans though

@@lunarSoul0 Cans do effect it as well. One of the best drinks to use to test this is milk. Drink some out of a plastic cup, a paper cup, a styrofoam cup, and then a glass cup. After that there is only one you will ever want to drink milk out of.

Bro I thought I was the only one to notice. 😂

They make their own ketchup as their own personal brand so yeah probably

What does it taste like? Is the mouthfeel different too?

@@MsOdd86 they dont make their own ketchup but they have their own recipe for the most part. They get their ketchup just like everyone else from already existing companies. for a long tiem this was Heinz but now in germany at least its delevey. And in storey you can actually buy the mcdonalds brand ketchup and the delevey brand ketchup in store, with the same bottle and the same taste and ingredients. Its just that the branded one costs more. So no. They certainly do not make their own ketchup, they just parter up with ketchup producers and in the US they have their own recipe. But thats it.

@@RheylixWise it's a stronger tomato flavor I'd say. Not sure exactly what it is but it's better.

Every restaurant has their own ketchup. The ketchup also seems designed to complement the food. Try Burger King, Wendy’s, KFC, etc ketchup with McDonald’s or any other combination. It works, but it isn’t the same

Yeah, they seemed to prefer it this way, but to come to the conclusion of "McDonald's Sprite is actually not quite as "snap crackle pop" as you'd expect, it seems like their Sprites had enough ice to water it down below the Coca Cola concentration, even if McDonald's boosts it a bit. Genuinely a variable I'm a little surprised everyone overlooked in the process of the episode.

This. I see this all the time in food evals on youtube. Guys, you can't fairly just fast food unless you're eating it fresh. I realize that's hard if not impossible to do.

Also true about the ice cream lol, get orders for multiple ices creams back to back and it's going to just spew the mix out. Man I miss McDonald's water. It's my favorite water, so crisp and refreshing

Also worked at a McD's. Some of the best filtered water I've had. I should specify that we weren't a 24 hour McD. Our main issue with the ice cream machine was no one in the night shift would fill it. The heat cycle would fail without enough base and have to be redone. It takes about 1-2 hours if I remember correctly.
