Are you ready to get JACKED, Loyal Theorist? Well, before you reach for a bottle of pre workout, you may want to consider something else instead: CANDY! Yes, the sugar in sour candy, such as Sour Patch Kids and Warheads, could actually give you massive gains… at least, according to TikTok. Is this legit or total BUNK? Let’s find out…

Lmao
Why does this sound so correct?

@LyricaI Lenomade 🅥 😐
🙂
Yeah man, strange
are u sure u dont have adhd?? jk
@@2009Kl now that I think about it you might be correct
Have you considered using 1-2 warheads at a time throughout the workout to level out the intake? a big spike at the beginning means big crash, but I think spreading it out may mean less crash and more consistency
I used to have a strong sour tolerance when I was younger from the sheer amount of Warhead candies I would eat. My sour tolerance was so strong that LemonHead cany tasted sweet to me. I sadly don't have this tolerance anymore. (Though I still like sour candy)
LemonHeads were sour?
@@randomguy7204 , They are sour
They’re still pretty sweet to me lol. But yeah good stuff
same omg- the last time i had a warhead it was barely sour at all, it was really disappointing :/
@@ryleighemma you’ve built up resistance
Silly Matpat, it's not the psychological affect that you get from the sour candy, It's the calories your burning whenever you sand your tongue off with sour patch kids!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
here before blow up
hog
Hi
Here after it blew up
As someone who works out a lot and has been in the game for about 9 years at this point this is just my viewpoint on candy in working out. Does it work? Yes. But like Matt said, the crash hits hard. So what a lot of people will do is before working out you would eat a slow digesting carb like oats, about 30 mins - 1 hour before depending. Then, if you start hitting that wall, then while you workout you eat that candy (Personal choice is gummy bears) to give you that sugar spike you want and when you do crash, you won't crash during the workout. Again, this is just my view of this topic but I do love seeing videos like this and want more!
I Don't know why you would eat candy before a workout you're supposed to drink water or a little caffeine
@blaizegottman4139 I look at candy before a workout as a "Do or die" when you haven't eaten much that day and just need to get anything in your body. Not optimal for a workout but better than starving beforehand in my opinion
Now I would like to see a study or video on the different types of candy and their workout effectiveness. Some swear by sour stuff, some like gummy candies, chocolate, etc
I'm confused. Like, seriously confused. I've never crashed. Not from sugar, not from energy drinks and not from vehicles (though I was nearly in a car crash once). Would this be an issue, or do you think it's fine
Oats aren’t going to be used during your workout, just have a fast acting carb before, and then during if necessary
I'd like to say the real value of candy when working out is that the energy boosts. Since they're such quick, easy access energy I find it more effective to eat in the middle of the workout to replenish energy. Of course, if your goal is to lose weight, this is not a good option, but if your goal is to gain muscle I find this to he a great way to get you through your final sets.
That’s pretty good advice for people who need to actually gain weight for one reason or another!
Eat some fruit instead. You get the glucose plus other health benefits.
I'm excited to say that I think I actually legitimately can answer Matt's question on this. The fact that is actually sour candy is arbitrary most of the time it's just whatever the lifter likes best. It originated from powerlifting culture, in fact there's even a fitness life style UA-camr called Max chewning who came up with the line of sour candies because powerlifters tend to use sour candies to supplement their workouts. The reason is powerlifter than particular it because their workouts can be upwards of two to three hours and they're mainly very high intensity outputs of a few reps. The candies are away to keep allowing us to do that high output. It's strictly in order to make sure our muscles can still lift a lot of weight it's not necessarily good for anyone who's looking to have a good workout or trying to lose that in fact it might be doing the opposite is purely to hit our strength numbers for competition. I will admit most of the people I know do tend to go with sour candy❤.
I'm also curious if your choice of warheads (a hard candy) over sour patch kids (or other _gummy_ candy) had any kind of impact
Had the same thought. Hard candy vs gummy candy like the TikToks showed may have a different impact.
hey this is unrelated but the thing where youtubers say youtube unsubs you is TRUE! it did it for me i didnt think it was true at first but now i do
@@moneyandhow.what 😭😭😭
@xv2711 wdym by that? Also I can give more details. I watch yt on my switch alot so most of the time I will not watch the video again on this account. That makes yt think that I don't like this channel, even if I do and it unsubs me
. Sorry for saying all of that and ik that no one asked 😔
@skopiixbaldboyhalo nah just found it funny how random it was u straight
Food Theory idea: what is the optimal house you could make out of food? As long as it is edible and socially acceptable as food/drink, it can be used. And you can use any number of ingredients you want.
This heads to be researched if he doesn't I will in ten years title?: can you live in a gingerbread house?
*needs
@@foxclawz9722 it's about trying to find the most optimal house. Maybe a gingerbread house is the most optimal, but there might be some better option. Like what about croutons or gummies? Something like that.
I love this idea!!
So, pine.
I could see an additional reason for going with sour candy in particular, though it is specifically for early morning workouts. The punch that comes from whatever gives it the sour flavor (I believe I have heard that it is malic acid for warheads at least?) can potentially wake you up more in the morning, adding a bit more immediate alertness and potential energy on top of what the sugar is already doing (both in sour and regular candy)
8:46 matpat sounds like big smoke
I’d like to see them study the impact on muscle hypertrophy with weight training rather than only calories burned with cardio.
OMG it's KEL from OMORI!
Me too that'd be fun
@@0ffical_mikan381 kel cult:]
Omg kel
Yeah I feel like the candy would help with gains more than cuts just based on the caloric content
As a "gymbro", the results are what I expected.
There is one error made on the video though, PWO does not contain glucose like sourcandy. There might be a difference here depending on brand and country but looking at most PWOs they don't even need to print thier calories on the container. And those that do print that are about 50 or so cals per serving and that's mostly protein.
There is something to be said about adding sugar to you waterbottle during workouts however.
As a fellow gymbro I can tell that we know stuff like this but still know nothing about other school smarts 💀
@@Toasty.Fit. I'm an Engineer xD
A popular sugar substitute that most companies use is Sucralose which is still sugar but they arent required to list how much of it which is why almost all PWOs say ‘0 sugar’ even though they’re still very sweet
@@dani_ohu Yes but that doesn't contain calories obouisly they put something in it.
@@TheSimon253 Well then I've got nothin 😂
The warheads reminded me of back then that whenever I made an intense face after eating Warhead Extremes, my mom would say "Why do you keep eating them if you don't like them?".
Mom, I do like them! I love them! Just because I love them doesn't mean I can keep a straight face while eating them, they are insanely sour!
I a lot of gym goers (including me) don’t workout to counteract bad foods, but just because it is fun to push your body to its limits and to feel confident in your own skin.
This was a meme within the gym community for a long time dating even before TikTok since powerlifters were the usual people to snack on Sour candy in between their sets in the gym.
I know some fitness influencers who are against junk food that used to eat sour patches before a workout who now speaks against it
So... It makes sense?
@@SergioLeonardoCornejo No it's just a common gymbro myth just eat a fruit before a workout, it's gonna be much better for your energy levels since the fruit sugars digest slower than refined sugars, and it's also gonna be good for your gut health since fruits are full of fiber.
You and Steph should have randomized which day you took each supplement in your experiment. Having candy on your third day of exercise for both of you can bias the data. In the previous 2 days, you each could have gotten stronger/better/more used to your workouts. With such a small data set and observational data, this bias is important. Otherwise, good video!
And did they rest between days? Because if not, Day 3 is obviously gonna be the worst no matter what
@@gridman2742they did, they said it at the start of the vid :)
@@gridman2742 yeah they rested. I’m just worried about them just… getting better at the exercises over time. It feels like they really wanted to candy method to work and may have designed the experiment to give that option it’s best chances of success.
so, SO glad you said something. my husband and I also hoped they kept the workouts consistent to avoid bias instead of one cycling and one doing the Wii, etc. it would have been better if they had people who weren't pro athletes per se, but people who maybe are more routine "worker-outers" to burn more calories than 100 like they did...
@@stephanieyun9536 this may be just the audience that I see most because it’s what I do, but I saw the candy TikTok’s always about weightlifting. You want the power so that you can lift more weights and build muscle. It’s weird that they did the experiment for cardio, when that had a different goal.
When going for long hikes I will usually take some hard candy with me - usually lifesavers or a similar small, hard candy. Hit a wall, have a candy and drink a little water. You definitely don't want more than a couple of grams of sugar to bust a wall, and they tend to keep you going long after the few calories you took in burn off. Generally an 11-calorie lifesaver every half hour of strenuous hiking can keep you going for a long time.
So infrequent but sustained input of a small number of calories of straight sugar seems to be a very effective method at sustaining a good workout.
I'd certainly look into very small-calorie sweet items as a "pre-workout" incentive or as a way to get past walls.
The first time I heard about using candy for exercise was Jim Stoppani who would eat a few pieces at the end of the work out along with his protein supplement. He said that the fast glucose spike would help refuel your muscles so the protein wouldn't be used for energy and be focused on repairing the damage of the workout. Plus it had the psychological effect of rewarding you for doing the work in the first place.
Matpat is the only person who would cover this type of ridiculous tiktok theories
@Save Your Life I have been waiting so long for it
I saw a claim on Pinterest that said (paraphrased) "Potatoes fried in butter contains all varied nutrients needed for life. Unless you have an outstanding medical condition, you could survive eating only potatoes fried in butter until you die." Can you do a theory on this?
He’s done an episode on what one food could you survive off of and I’m pretty sure sweet potatoes were found to be the the best and potatoes were in the top 5
I think it's true as long as you eat a wide genetic variety of potatoes and don't just dump all your skill points into just reproducing the same type of potato over and over again.
(For best results, get a potato you're sure is immune to blight. Then breed it with other potatoes so they'll also be immune to blight.)
Going off of what Aiden said, he also did an episode on The Martian on Film Theory, where he did a episode on eating only potatoes. I believe that he found that, yes, you can survive only on potatoes, assuming you have some multi-vitamin gummies.
Perhaps you could... but I think you'd go insane from the extremely repetitive diet before long. You ever try the "only eat potatoes for a year" challenge? Everyone who tried it said they despised everything potato in only a week
Not sure about frying it in butter, but dairy and potatoes do have everything you need, I believe
6:36 Why did she crunch the sour candy with her teeth? Is the Theory dental plan just that good?
God tier.
9:50 Actually MattPatt, this does Ring a Bell.
This was definitely fun, and that workout wall can be real! I just feel the need to point out....breaking even calorically doesn't mean you've done nothing. Exercise helps strengthen your muscles, including your heart, and lungs, and helps regulate different hormones that affect mood and sleep and all kinds of things. We all do ourselves a big disservice when we think the only reason to work out is to burn calories and lose weight. If going to the gym is something that makes you miserable and you have to bribe yourself with candy, maybe try something else! Take a yoga class, take a walk, go for a swim, learn to dance, and remember that movement is healthy whether or not you have a fitness tracker telling you so
I am someone who has a problem getting to the gym, once there, I can workout fine, but getting over the hurdal of showing up is my problem.
But the thing I recommend for people like me, is to do and find what you enjoy doing to workout.
I am not a "fan" of cardio, but I find the act of reaching the target goal (mine is 2 miles in 30 min on the elliptical) is something that makes it so, so much more rewarding psychologically.
When I started trying to go workout seriously, I started it by doing the cycle bike for 5-10 minutes. And tried to increase that time by a minute, or add a tenth to the total difference between each workout. Meeting and then beating my goal is the best motivator I personally found that I wasn't very conscious of in the beginning. Before I knew it, I was hitting 15 minutes consistently. Then, I decided to try something that let me do more with my arms, the elliptical. And hitting the wall of 20 minutes was something I kept failing to do. But when I finally did, I was so happy I pushed to 25. And the same at 30. Now, I have to stop myself from doing more to see how far I can just push myself to. And shifted my focus to be on some of the other measurements. Distance, speed, calorie total burned and current rate of calorie burning.
I have done 2 miles at my fastest just last week at 30:03, down from my first time reaching 2 miles at like 33:00.
I also try and keep the calorie rate at 15-16 a minute, which isn't the hardest highest I can reach, but what I have found lets me reach the other goal, 500 calories burned in a session. (It is in part to burn calories, and in part to give me a number to reach towards, and makes me feel accomplished for reaching. Because that is almost an entire meals worth of work I have put into this task. (And yes, it isn't the most accurate measurement of my calorie burning, but number go up, happy juice go up too.)) Then there is the mini goal of a .33 miles in five minutes. Like a Speedrun stretch or section timer.
It is something that works for me for cardio. The same with working out with machines. Managing to continuessly reaching a difficult set goal is so satisfying.
But my hardest workout is getting in the car to go do it. And maybe this will work, idk. Wish me luck folks, and I wish the same for everyone else to
Please do an episode on how sustainable a ramen noodle diet is for college students.
Sounds great. You can make Naruto references.
Not good. Answered.
@@hippityhoppitygetoffmyprop What if you add in random vegetables to the ramen?
Varying slightly by the type of ramen (cheap stuff or good quality like a ramen shop in Japan), the answer is definitely "not very sustainable". It might be cheap and filling, but it isn't very nutritious. A lot of carbs, a fair amount of calories, almost nothing in terms of vitamins, low but not awful protein. Nutritionally speaking, a Big Mac is better for you, having more protein, fewer carbs, only slightly more sugar, and more vitamins by weight. Ramen is a lot cheaper, of course, but if nutritionally it's worse for you than a Big Mac, then it's not all that sustainable in terms of health.
That does change if you're adding stuff to it instead of just eating it as is, but then that also increases the cost making it less viable for a college student than eating it as is.
Of course, if that's all you can afford, there's nothing really wrong with that. It's not your fault the US government screws over the population in countless ways.
My habit has always been have a couple packs of fruit snacks in the middle of the gym session when I have started feeling that wall. So, not munching some candy before the gym, but during the workout. Gets me over the hump. I also tend to do an energy drink instead of an actual pre workout. They tend to taste better imo.
Hey MatPat, love the videos and watching this one, I couldn’t help but think, what is the best sour candy for a work out? Might be a cool video idea, keep it up!!
6:01 we thank you for your service steph😂😂😂😂😂
I used to work in a gym, and one of my really fit coworkers started eating Sour Patch Kids before working out. We ALL thought he was being ridiculous until he started getting more bulked over the course of a couple months. Some merit to it, I guess!
Common in powerlifting to eat something with QUICK carbs like candy to give a boost of energy. And more specifically during the workout. So still having pre-workout and/or high carb meal before.
I think that's the variable he didn't account for. Your friend, like the people in the videos, used a gummy based sour candy. Mat pat and his wife were eating warheads, which is a hard candy, so it's more sugar than a gummy candy and it lacks the gelatin which is 1. An animal product and 2. Possibly affects how quickly the sugar is digested thus lowering the crash.
They were so focused on it being a sour candy, they didn't even take that into account.
I would Rather drink coffee before a workout
@@cinema_chici do wonder how the warhead Ghost energy drinks would fair in this test because it's basically a combination of both the pre-workout and the sour candy. Would it give you that initial boost and maintain it for a greater length of time?
@@Antonio-ys5zd it'll probably be different because it has artificial sweeteners, not regular sugars.
It’s cool to watch someone learn things you’ve already known. Personally when I drink pre work out it’s during or right at the start which is why when I need the energy I have it. But candies and stuff like rice crispy is easy digestible and will get the energy when you need it.
Love your food theory videos, thought about doing protein bars in a similar fashion to this one or protein powders , mass gainers, and supplements for cutting weight? I'd enjoy seeing anything like that on here. Maybe workout or nutrition theory possibly 🤔
The fact this man can make 4 videos a week across his 4 channels in a week and still sound high energy
AND GTLive
Oh yeah
His team you mean...
He hasn't made all the videos in a long time. He has a staff for a reason.
Don't forget the shorts
10:24 the editors need a raise
I feel so smart!! I've been studying phycology and just finished learning about classical conditioning.
I love that Stephanie just crunched on the warheads like a menace.. I'd definitely go with like sour patch kids for this much less painful
I love how he talks about sour candies the whole video but doesn't explain why they need to be sour, just mentions the sugar and dopamine/seratonin
He does 4:50
As a huge sour fan, I see this as an absolute win
Same
I've looked into this trend, and i took part in it as well back before it was trending on TikTok. The main reason folks do this is when powerlifting, the quick burst of energy helps to fuel the never ending quest for new PR's. Aside from that, most only really use them intra workout, when the workouts are longer sessions.
This is the most useful Food Theory video in the channel because it made MatPat and the crew exercise, an activity/test other than eating lol
As someone who has trained a lot without eating since the day prior, I can say working out after eating candy or eating nothing is not fun, so my advice is to eat healthy food before and if you need something small, then get a granola bar.
Most granola bars aren't healthy.
@@soundrogue4472 it's still better that eating a candy or nothing.
So I know MatPat only did Warheads for this theory. But what about other sour candles. Like Sour Patch Kids. I wonder if the results would vary
No
I LOVE RING FIT!!!
In all seriousness, its a fun game that has really motivated me to keep working out and challenge myself with different workouts.
Apparently a lot of people think so as ring fit threads exist online on different work outs.
I got weirdly excited when MatPat mentioned classic condition because I actually learned about that in psychology this year
Storytime: when my high school AP psychology teacher taught us classical conditioning, he was actually using classical conditioning throughout the whole lesson to make our mouths water and pucker up, as though we'd eaten something sour, every time he said the name, "Pavlov".
I was reminded of this while watching the video because the moment you said "Ivan Pavlov" in the video, I felt like I'd just dry scooped lemonade powder.
My highschool anatomy and physiology teacher had us in 3rd block, which was when lunch was, and since I had B lunch, we left about halfway through class for lunch and came back for the other half.
He believed that after eating a meal, your body devoted more energy to digestion and therefore, your brain was less effective at learning. So he shoved all our lessons into the first half of class and let us do whatever we wanted after lunch. I napped in that class after lunch every day and I'm convinced he was right.
I homeschool now and we don't start until an hour after breakfast and we take another hour after lunch.
Making high school students develop a pavlovian response doesn’t sound entirely ethical but at the same time your teacher sounds like they were kinda cool
5:44 feel like now Matt has to do a GT on ring fit
That explains why I love having trolli worms before a workout 😂😂 I never paid attention to if it helps nutritionally but the good taste does give me quick excitement lol.
12:30 Personally I would have added more water to the powder that was left over, no point wasting any of those micronutrients. It also doubles as a pre-rinse which makes washing the bottle out easier, and as someone who reguarly drinks from reusable water bottles and shaker bottles, does make washing a lot easier.
As the great isaac newton once said, "If you want candy, eat candy."
The theory channels, answering the most important questions in life. Im all for it
6:25 wrecked is so good tho
1:00 As a gymrat that tries to think positively after my past ed, I just wanna say, if ur thinking to work out to work off smth specific like " oh I ate some candy or some more junk, I should balance it by doing more cardio" can do more damage than good. Ik its aside from the point of the video but that point partially triggered me.
Tip: if u don't want water sloshing around, take a scoop of pre then wash it down with a mouthful of water. Idk if its necessarily healthy but its the best way if ur just going straight into ur workout.
Love your content keep up the great work
So technically, since no physical benefit from the Candy is gained, I'm okay to say treat myself with a fun size kit kat both before and after a work out to just try and psychologically train myself to associate the work out with the candy! Thanks food theory my future bun of steel will be in your honor! ❤
As someone who just finished my first semester towards being a dietician - I'm SO happy recognising what Mat's talking about here
When my bothers were in little league sports, Dad had a similar idea of a quick sugar boost. But it was a pudding cup around halftime, aimed more at flagging energy and/or morale.
I learned this technique early in high school, but I combined the fast burning/hard crash of candy with the slow burn/longer energy stores of something like sun chips. When you eat sugar, your body can access that high energy easily, but the trade off is that you feel the crash extremely fast & hard. But if you eat something that burns slow, but lasts long, like nuts, fruit, or sun chips, it offsets the crash because you have a different energy store
5:02 WAIT A SECOND!!! Is my depression why my body overproduces so much heat?
Do the sounds associated with certain foods and beverages impact taste and overall enjoyment? I so enjoy the sound of a soda pop top popping :) and started wondering if the brief excitement caused by the sound might also blend into my taste experience. Hearing a crisp apple as you bite into it, the snap, crackle, and pop from Rice Crispy cereal…well, you get it 😉
Mr. Pat, long time watcher first time commenter. Love the food theory content,i started during the pandemic and it’s one of my favorite channels. Could you do an episode of “does measuring matter?” I have always heard that I can’t use a measuring cup for liquids for reasons? But I have been making instant rice with 1 cup rice and 1 cup (yes tha same plastic cup) of water. I wonder if this is a common misconception? Thanks, Jeff
5:55 we all know who's getting pegged tonight 😏
DUDE
5:23 Style Theory cameo
Matpat exploring another one of TikTok's weird shenanigans once again. You love to see it.
when I was competing as a powerlifter the candy thing was big, however not as a pre workout. we ate it as an intraworkout sugar to give us quick burning carbs to keep lifting. It wasn't a whole bag tho, it was usually like 5-10 sour patch kids or Swedish fish, it didn't have to be sour, just most of us preferred it. When I was trying working with a body building nutritionist they had me drinking dextrose powder and bcaas in my water instead that I started to drink about 20-30 min into my workout. the sour strips candy was literally invented by a powerlifter/UA-cam influencer that couldn't find sour enough candy. So that is another reason why that particular candy shows up a lot also
I'm laughing because I've been doing this for over 30 years and not realizing the benefit. I just like candy. Lol
Ring Fit Adventure is unironically an amazing workout that is also extremely fun as a video game.
Matpat should make a video on what Pringle stack combination is objectively the best one
0:10 and we disagree right off the bat
After watchin: I am not surprised with the results
Why not do the best of both worlds? Combine a pre-workout with a candy.
I dont think candy is the best of any world other than candyland
ehh idk i personally don’t see it as a good idea because preworkout is taken before the workout and if you put it in candy you would have to consume a lot of it for it to have the same effect as taking a regular scoop say you take a scoop of loaded preworkout and with a full scoop it contains 420 caffeine so for you to get to that 420 caffeine you would have to consume so much more food and many people take pre because it is low calorie so if you do put it in candy you will end up consuming a lot more calories and a lot of times is not needed before a workout
Im here to tell you how grateful I am for the theory channels. I recently tried doing my sister A level papers even though I'm couple of years away from doing it, and to be bluntly honest I wouldn't have answered half the ones I did answer if it weren't for the fun but basic knowledge I learned from these channels. So great tributes for teaching me in a fun
During my half marathons/marathons i typically carry around a small bag of skittles to help with the later miles/hitting the wall.
curious as to why warheads vs something more palletable like a sour gummy? Easier sugar goal, personal preference, etc?
As a wise man once said: “Reality is often disappointing!”
y e s
It kinda makes sense. Back when I did a lot of manual labor, I would eat a chocolate muffin or some mini candy canes (I bought wayyy too many for Christmas one year) before I started to help get me going. But it probably worked better being pure carbs for the candy canes and almost pure carbs for the muffins rather than sour candies which have a lot more going on.
Matt, i dont know what channel it belongs on but can you do a video about water retention and the link with weight loss/gain
You need to cover Lean cuisine vs life cuisine every time I go to target I see both of them right next to each other and they have the same font and everything
How long do you suspect before one of these supplement companies begin making a sour gummy version of their supplements? (if they haven't already) Gummies would solve the discomfort from too much fluids issue that MatPat mentioned he'd experienced.
It is already a thing but pretty niche. The ones I got my hands on for a reasonable price did taste bad though. Haven't tried the more expensive ones though. it might depend on the country you are in though.
The moment I heard about this, I just had a feeling there's some truth to it. I only eat one meal a day, but in the middle of the day I often get a craving for candy (usually sour candy), and that's probably because sugar is a simple carb and gives a burst of energy for your body quickly. Eating a bit of sugar compared to a plate of spaghetti is gonna be way better for your waistline (assuming you're not diabetic etc.) So having a sugar spike before the gym makes complete sense.
Thag doesn’t sound very healthy dude
It doesn't meet any of your nutrient needs. It's not all about calories and waistline. To keep your organs functioning well and for a long period of time, you need to feed them
Uh no; pasta is still going to be better for you than eating a bunch of war heads.
that’s not healthy at all
I have found with AG1 if you put it in after the water or whatever youre mixing it with it mixes better
It’s very common in “short”length sports to take a handful of gummy bears or other sugar packed snack right before competition. Very common in Wrestling being that a match only lasts up to 6 minutes assuming there are no overtime rounds.
6:58 bruh
It would have been interesting to combine the sour candy with another one of the active ingredients in the pre workout, such as caffeine. Also, I would’ve compared the effects on a cardio vs weight lifting workout.
As a powerlifter, many people competing eat sour lollies or just lollies in general to keep the energy high on comp day
I use them during my heavy training days and receive great success from them mid workout as a little boost (I don’t use pre workout, and only use lollies as a mid workout snack
I might use this for my routine
good job matpatt great theory as always
0:01 Hey MatPat! Remember omega mart? Just letting you know that 3 weeks ago, Meow Wolf announced their own mall (Don’t ask why the time is there)
dude i have learned more stuff on this channel then every learning book and every class i ever had
You know Mat Pat I just love you’re food theories
I usually enjoy workouts and don't hit that wall most of the time. Normally I'm able to get to the "runners high" and feel so much better during and after excercise. Still interesting to know about candy and pre-workouts, not that I'd use it.
9:56 I recently learned about this guy, he rang a bell before feeding dogs food and the dogs eventually started salivating at the mouth when they heard the bell even if Ivan didnt have food
Food Theory idea… like the spice episodes, what are the best ways to counteract sourness? I don’t personally have any issues with sour, but I know plenty who do, and clearly the Theorists do as well
Feedback for MatPat and his team. The sponsor section toward the end got me thinking. It was a really good insert. Compared to the other videos I watched where there is a sponsor insert, this felt more smooth. I wasn’t as flipping a coin where you got a video here and then an insert afterwards (or vice versa) Good job guys. Idk if this was researched before you did it but I noticed. 👏 👏 👏
On the surface level it makes sense. Sour candy is a great wakeup compared to energy drinks and I doubt that sour candy gives as much sugar as most energy drinks. A single warhead before going out for a jog would be a great wake up call. Then use those powder packs for a healthy continued workout afterwards (especially the ones that make you use a lot of water to drink it)
My brother actually carries a pack of gummy bears in his gym bag for a little energy boost during his workout
Hi love your videos and pink sauce drama has skyrocketed and I think you should do a video about it again
Food theory idea: best amount of both peanut butter and jelly on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Maybe even what’s best to spread it with ? Or what’s the best to spread with anything ? Is there a best anything spreader?
I would be really interested if y'all took more qualitative data in experiments like these. I'm a sucker for a good Likert scale lol
1:47 into the video and I'm already wondering if Tiktokkers have forgotten about sugar? Y'all be feeling more awake from that sugar rush! If they think THAT is effective.. they should slam back an energy drink. Lmao
PLEASE could you do an episode on whether or not soup is a beverage? This question has bothered me and a friend for 2 years and i need an answer. The intricacys of the definitions of the words soup, beverage and food have interesting overlap and the meaning of liquid is being questioned.
could you do a theory on the science behind eyeballing measurements in cooking and how correct it is/can be?
