Fun fact, the taste of the soda will change depending on its temperature due to its acidic nature. Additionally, things sweetened with corn syrup will have more of a bite the warmer they are.
dan
it don't matter since its prolly gonna kill you anyway
@@keyneee1144 what is gonna kill people?
@@ryana5435 diabetes, cancer, etc.
@keyneee1144 Yeah, if you drink a shit ton of it
From what I understand mt. Dew isn’t outlawed in Europe because of the high sugar content. It’s because of the coloring that is used. Apparently some scientific paper loosely attributed (red 48? And some other artificial coloring) to adhd. It’s the same reason why a lot of American cereals are banned in the eu.
We have a different recipe mountain dew but it still tastes like the most artificial shit.
A lot of American brands are outlawed or changed for the same reason in Europe, especially American cereal. Some of the other food dyes were linked to cancer.
Wtf? How the fuck are foods associated with adhd?
You are correct. You guys think our brightly colored foods cause cancer. Even though the possibility is actually infinitesimal.
I am in Europe and you can get Mt.Dew here, probably a different recipe.
For anyone that didnt know; Starry is Sierra Mist! They went through a rebranding this year.
Starry zero and Sprite Zero as so good. Just nice and sweet sparkling water.
I miss the classic sierra mist natural. Back when I still drank soda, it was one of the only name brand sodas I really enjoyed.
Agaaaaain?
not is only rebranded they changed the formula slightly and made it more limey them lemony
Just a little heads up, the actual taste of the soda may actually vary from country to country, as some countries may not allow some of the ingredients that the USA allows, and the various Soda companies have to tweak their recipes according to what is allows for each country to sell in those countries.
For instance, I believe the reason for the American Fanta Orange soda is a dark Orange, while the Norwegian Fanta Orange is Yellow/Bright Orange, is that the American Fanta Orange contains a food coloring ingredient that Norway has banned, and without that food coloring in the Norwegian Fanta Orange, the color is significantly brighter/different than the American one.
I also believe the taste is also different, but it has been too long since I last tasted an American Fanta Orange, so I can't tell you that for sure.
Yeah, I found out that Coke in America can counts like 240 something calories from the added sugar. In Singapore, they are only selling either Coke Original Taste - Less Sugar or Coke Zero, which the calories count are under 100 for Original Taste.
I never thought that the word "Less Sugar" is not just a buzzword lol. It's truly less(er) sugar than the original american one.
Bro is remaking 2016 content💀
got the haircut and everything
Love the nostalgia
And I'm down for it its fire
Nah he doing the side quests now
And its great
I hope Joey sees his dentist after this.
Might as well go to the doctors in general to get his health checked.
Or it doesn’t go to his chest
Or get his blood sugar level tested
joey better meet dr. jelly after this
Especially with #freehealthcare 😉
Starry is a new soda that came out back in January of this year and is the replacement for Sierra Mist. It's pretty much just Sprite, but with a bit more sugar.
Also, Mtn Dew is banned in Europe due to it containing Yellow 5. Not the high sugary content. I remember Connor talking about it back when he tried American cereal.
As a Sprite connoisseur, I personally disagree. But that's just me I guess 😅
And i think mtn dew is banned in Australia because of the caffeine content
It's not really a new soda, it's a rebranding.
Sierra Mist was just Sprite with real sugar.
@@SomeRandomJackAss I'm surprised that had real sugar in it. Sierra Mist was the worst lime soda. Most people I talked to don't like Sierra Mist.
Regular Mountain Dew tastes less poisonous than the zero sugar one. I'm not sure why but having no sugar makes the strong flavor of it taste incomplete and the sting really sticks out. I got it once on accident and it was the worst soda I've ever had and I usually like Mountain Dew.
I think it was originally made as a mixer - specifically with whiskey. Makes sense the sugar’s necessary, like an Old Fashioned.
Aspartame
@@dinasty3546 Aspartame is hell bad for because it destroy your gut.
as soon as I noticed the mtn dew zero I started looking for this comment lol
Because it's no sugar, it's artificial sugar
9:48 “That’s Coke, that’s definitely Coke…or Pepsi, shit”
The confidence and then just immediately self doubt
My boy... You just got the aspartame experience. Way, WAY sweeter than corn syrup or actual sugar.
And worse long term side affects lol
Also tastes like SHIT on anything and everything!! That's why UK Dr. Pepper is just so bad compared to regular old American Dr. Pepper!
I understand the amount of "sugar" they put in these drinks is ABHORRENT, but I also don't drink them that often **shrug**
@@TheMindofagenius1dear lord you type like a redditor
@@TheMindofagenius1bro said **shrug**
@@zionfultz8495 well new research shows that the amount of aspartame needed for those long term side effects is so much that a normal person would have a hard time ingesting that amount in a year. The amount of aspartame used in those drinks is so little that a person would need to consume so much liquid that they would die before the side effects could even happen. now this doesn't mean its good for a person or that this can't change but this is what the research shows and it looks like aspartame is actually safer then sugar and especially safer then corn syrup. corn syrup is banned in most countries in the world as it is so much worse then sugar and any other sweetener
Japan uses High Fructose Corn Syrup in their soda's as well...Also Japanese Coke has more calories so I would guess more sugar than American coke/original coca cola.
Don’t tell him that, it’ll ruin his narrative of “America food and drink bad”
Soda, America: 👿
Soda, Japan: 😁
Also used in a lot of teriyaki sauces, takoyaki sauces etc
@@ragingbullet3447but people have much healthier eating habits there so its not as big as a problem
Also, high fructose corn syrup isn't worse for you than other types of sugar. I agree that cane sugar sweetened sodas tend to taste better, but they are not healthier.
Every American (especially in the South): "Oh yeah? Where were they bottled?"
This is a legit question, btw. For one example, the quality and taste of Dr. Pepper can vary *widely* depending on which company is licensed to bottle it.
I've tasted Diet Coke out West, and it was strange. I can only imagine what kind of abominations are bottled under license abroad.
If it don't taste like battery acid, its not sprite!😂
it's prob just American sprite
i need it tasting like radio static to get the full effect.
Have you tried real battery acid?
Australian Sprite is genuinly one of the most lemon like soft drinks ive ever had. I think the battery acid sprite is purely american lol
IDK Coke Zero tastes like battery acid w/ cinnamon. Of the colas, I think RC is the best. Of the diets, I think Diet Pepsi is the smoothest. RIP Sierra Mist. You will be mist. Starry can kick rocks.
I just wanna see Joey do an all MTN Dew flavors list
Agreed!! Tho, can never truly do "all mtn dew flavors" as many were discontinued or only seasonal. :/
@@striberx your right... I forgot about that
He'd probably die XD
I'm expecting Baja Blast to be at the top.
mtn dew speed run
I drank so much zero sugar/diet sodas that the original versions are too sweet for me
Isn't aspartame supposed to be a lot sweeter than sugar?
Fake/chemical sugars like aspartame, sucralose, etc are 200x sweeter than sugar.
@@TheSteam02 The amount in those zero/diet ones are low enough to taste sweet but not sweeter than the sugared ones.
@@TheSteam02the amount in the drink is important i would guess...
same DC> coke any day
Mexican coke is definitely the best
Especially when freshly sourced and from Colombia
Facts!
@@himikotoga4270 those guys are all about sustainability!
@@himikotoga4270 you mean Colombia
@@merlumili shit all the coke making me misspell thanks for the correction
I love Dr Pepper. You can’t go wrong with an ice cold can on a warm summer day.

Dr. Pepper slaps - especially Cherry Dr. Pepper.
my people
Joey needs to do an American sushi that doesn't exist in Japan tier list! It would be hype to see the reaction. Maybe another collab with a local youtuber.
It always throws me off that people outside the US feel that 20-30g of sugar is "too much", it concerns me and always makes me think twice about drinking soda. Which I've cut out time and time again, but always come back to somehow... Problem with cutting out soda is most of our foods have extra sugar pumped into them, so it really isn't easy to cut down.
20-30g's is too much sugar , I compare the amount of creatine I take per day and thinking about multiplying that one 5 gram scoop by 6 is ridiculous. Try using stevia or truvia for replacing your sugary cravings, sugar free syrup and raw honey in smaller quantities.
That's because the FDA wants us to be unhealthy so the pharmaceuticals can make money off of Americans. That's why we are in the top of obesity
One of the strongest flavors in Dr.P is the cherry flavor. That's why the Coke Cherry has very strong resemblance to Dr.Peps
“Faint Whiff of flavor “ Joey describes his signature scent.
Now this is what I've been waiting for!!!
uploaded just as i was about to wash the dishes, couldn't have been a more perfect timing
Joey: *disses Diet Dr Pepper*
John Green: *has entered the chat ready to throw hands*
The US mountain dew used to have brominated vegetable oil until 2020, which is banned in the EU and Japan. It also have different colouring, Carotene instead of Tartrazine, it also looks greenish, rather then like piss.
To me, diet versions tend to have a horrible chemical taste which lingers on after drinking. It literally tastes like the types of sugar (pills, cubes) sold for people with diabetes.
The exact same artificial sweeteners are used in both.. so of course it literally tastes like that.
Same here, it also makes me feel really ill after drinking it for some reason, so I avoid artificial sweeteners as much as possible.
@@Lolia. Same here. It literally makes me feel ill.
Keep up the awesome work and videos Joey
"Give me a tall glass of DP in the morning" he says, like a true JoJo fan ^^
hey joey for the colas there is a big difference in flavor between room temp and chilled/ice cold btw starry is just rebranded sierra mist
Joey you ,conar and Garnt, are so wholesome and positive,keep up the content man ,helps my mental health on stressful days.
For anyone who doesn't know, Starry is just rebranded Sierra Mist
Love videos like this
Soda is very different from country to country, would be interesting to see what rating you would give to the same types in different countries as well 🤔
I need to see him try IrnBru
True.
Joey not liking Root Beer tracks. Most Japanese people don't like root beer. Tastes like medicine to them. I went to the import store and bought a few cans and let the students and teachers at my school try some and they were like, "The fuck is this garbage Greg Sensei!?!?"
It's also funny that, once again, other countries get our food and drinks done better than we do.😂
damn now i kinda wanna know what their reaction to moxie would be lol
I must have Japanese tastebuds, even though I'm Irish, because root beer tastes like medicine to me too.
I think that's just a universal thing, no? I hear the medicine taste opinion pretty often when talking about root beer. Also funny because I find the taste of ginger to be mediciney, but I still like it lol.
Idk why but i absolutely enjoyed this simple and straightforward video 😊
The extra sugary taste usually comes from alternative/artificial sweeteners in zero/diet drinks. Sad as it is, just because it says there's no sugar doesn't mean it's not sweetened. Usually with stevia (zero) which to me tastes horrible because of it's super sweet and sour aftertaste or sweet 'n low (diet) which is extra sweet and tastes extra artificial.
Stevia isn't artificial but it can be off-putting for those not acquainted to it.
Amazing Joey.
Joey spend half the video trying to find the rootbeer 😂😂😂
Joey trying to decipher what is what soda was the best part, honestly. It was so fun!
What I came for : Joey Ranking Sodas
What I got : Joey struggling with Dr Pepper and Root Beer
15:20 thanks for the shoutout joey, appreciate it
Actually, Dew is related to Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) that gives it the characteristic cloudy appearance and acts as a stabilizer. Research has found that it acts as an endocrine disruptor and has resulted in it being banned in most of the world (outside the US). As of 2020, they stopped using BVO for Dew except for the product known as "Throwback" which uses real sugar and BVO.
Aaaaand now Joey will be doing an insulin variety test.
The lemon-lime drink known today as Sprite was developed in West Germany in 1959 as Fanta Klare Zitrone ("Fanta Clear Lemon" in English) and was introduced in the United States under the Sprite name in 1961 as a competitor to 7 Up.
As an American who prefers tea over all else. I'd recommend trying IBC cream soda, ALE8, Nugrape, Peach Coca Cola, & Cotton Candy Faygo
They are my favorites
Just the amount of Mountain Dew should be a video stand alone. No Fanta, orange Crush or any Crush , no ginger ale! Damn!! please have another part Joey!
The only time i ever have soda is at like family gatherings and one that most people never heard of is basically always there because our family loves it is big red which is meant to be some kind of orange soda but it straight up tastes like bubble gum
If asmongold watched this he would have a heart attack
Chances are very high he'll react to this 😂
if its a video, Asmongold will react to it
I hope not, stealing views is theft
@@burhanbudak6041 Reaction vids are understandable
Quality content ✨
I reject this lineup of sodas for a tier list lol
Do you take photos on film? The camera laying on the bed in the background looks like a film one! It's my go-to medium and it's really cool that more and more people are giving it a go!
“My heart is palpitating” welcome to American food life Joey 😆
Fun fact: the taste of soda may vary in taste from country to country depending on their water, even if the ingredients are the same :)
Food safety laws
Every time joey says dr.pepper you have to take a sip of a dr.pepper.....
When Joey discovers that in Coke Zero sugar there indeed is no syrup in it
I couldn’t think of a better way to distract myself from my coke addiction
Now I wannna watch "Joey buys a mountain dew ... balls exploding any% speedrun"
I was eating while watching and yes, I shouldve seen it coming
I thought I was going crazy trying to find the humming sound in my apartment until I realized it's in the BG of this video lol
Lol I’ve never seen Joey so whiny in my life, this was funny
Bro, I deadass sat here watching 21 minutes of Joey drinking soda
man's doing a guessing game and a tier list at the same time lol
In terms of soda, if you can find it somewhere, I recommend Russian Baikal. It's basically like a way more herbal Coke or Pepsi. Or Tarkhuna, which I believe is a Georgian drink, so it might be easier to find.
i was eating and i did expect it thank you
Honestly watching you try and make space for all of those cups was comedy
Feels like Joey visited a coffee shop before he bought all of that soda.
Does anyone remember RC Cola? That stuff tasted like cola with pot metal mixed in
omg yeah that was so terrible i still buy some when i see it though because its funny
Starry is Pepsi answer to sprite competition. It’s really just Sierra Mist but rebranded
I prefer the diet sodas in the US because I really like the aspertame sweetness over the corn syrup. The trade off tho is diets are like super bubbly overly carbonated where regulars are flatter.
I drink Barq’s root beer. But I also love A&W. Usually I drink it with spicy food
Well now i just want a full flavor Mnt Dew tier list. Like all of them.
11:34 man’s deadass said “full STRENGTH Pepsi”🤣 as if it’s a drug
Great test, would be intresting if you compered aussie and japaness soda to the american in future list video.
Just letting you know in america "zero sugar" doesnt mean unsweetened, it just means it uses some kind of artificial sweetener to have it taste sweet. I normally find they taste sweeter and normally like them less due to the after taste of artificial sweeteners
Depending on the soda I like the "zero sugar" version better
Homie says he's stopped drinking sodas cuz he recognizes the dangers it can bring but on the same note hasn't stopped drinking alcoholic beverages which is objectively much worse. The Irony and Hypocrisy is astoundingly Hilarious.
Joey should try all of the various Mountain Dew flavors he can, lol.
bro... you poured them all out at the same time and then filmed? how long did those sit there? sholdve gone with the regulation pour then drink method
for next, please make a tier list of a water brand
I want to see joey reading superheroe comics
I would love to see you rank all the different mountain dew flavors because my family loves it, and I'd love see an outsider viewpoint on it (someone who doesn't drink sodas, let alone mountain dew, a lot).
Would definitely suggest doing a video rating regional sodas (like sold in 2 to 3 states only, ex. Cheerwine). Will make for a much more interesting video in my opinion.
16:40 Starry used to be Sierra Mist. They decided to re-brand and slightly adjust the recipe 🤷🏻♂️
Perhaps you should try the SanPellegrino sparkling juice beverages
I agree with Joey on American Mt.Dew. I used to drink it back in the day, and now I can't even sip it now it's way too sugary.
Coke Zero is my jam, glad Joey liked it too.
Starry is the rebrand of Sierra Mist; not sure if the formula also changed, but yeah that's Pepsi's new version of Sprite/7Up lol
Starry used to be Sierra Mist before they rebranded.
Sprite is my favorite soda with root bear being a close 2nd, they don't really sell it anymore where i live but i used to get raspberry flavored sprite and that stuff was so good, never tried 7up tbh but i might try it now if it's like spite.
This takes me back to you making ramune from ramune candy era content.
Really ticked me every time Joey says "after-flavor" instead of just "aftertaste" lmao
Now we need a test of energy drinks to get that heart palpitations going xD
water -> ice tea -> tea -> coffee -> orange juice -> dr. pepper -> pepsi -> 7up -> Don't drink anything else regularly.
water is top in the list, best to "worst" of things I regularly drink
"maybe its the corn syrup" said for drink without sugar
As a west coast resident, not seeing cactus cooler and squirt is a travesty
I better see birch beer here! The GOATED soda!
The worst soda is the one that is room temperature. If that shit isn't chilled, it is going to be straight ass no matter what it is.
Joey, as a fan of Clannad, can you do a Dango tier list? Are there more variants to a savory and sweet verision? If not perhaps Mochi instead?
Next video the same thing but with beer! 😁
As a new englander I'm sad we didn't get to see his reaction to moxie
6:29. Didn't know you can get drunk from too much sodas lol
