@@Quintinohthree I looked it up because I thought it was just a joke about the taste. There's no actual antifreeze. It's just an ingredient they both have in common that's also used in a lot of other foods. Seems like a lot of fuss over nothing.
I love fireball. Shoot it, drink it straight from the bottle, sip it from a glass. It’s just fantastic It also pairs well with hard cider for a nice autumn feel
Fireball is the quintessential festival drink in the UK. You're already soaked from the rain & up to your knees in mud & the only thing that can keep you warm is fireball. It's terrible but needed 😅
I know you're not European, and neither am I, but I think you'd be doing the world a disservice by not reviewing Buckfast Tonic Wine. If you don't immediately stab someone and then "blame it on the Bucky", you can consider it a win.
I'm also not European so I'd never heard of it before, but the Wikipedia page is hilarious. Anyone who has no idea what Buckfast is should give it a read. Some of my favorite lines: "In 2016 a Sheriff said there was a 'very definite association between Buckfast and violence,'" and "the glass bottle has been blamed for contributing to litter and providing drunkards with a weapon."
Blech, Buckfast tastes like shit, really horrible stuff. I had some hooligan friends in Scotland who loved that swill. F-ing Scots, Haggis & Bucky, no wonder they're pissed off all the time.
Fireball tastes like halfway through doing the cinnamon challenge, Johnny Walker came in my mouth after a night of eating nothing but asparagus and coffee. I would unironically rather piss in a glass and chug it down than ever drink fireball again.
i ran into this guy on here about a week or so ago and haven’t stopped watching his videos yet. outrageously funny and right on point. -and that is from a non participant. 😉
In either hot chocolate or coffee this actually works quite well surprisingly just don't put a lot in it., finally a use for Fireball that won't have you screaming regret in the morning or afternoon or evening or even now ., as your brain remembers why was I thinking it's safe to chug this
@@arnoldsherrill6305 I always mixed mine with non-alcoholic apple cider and thought it worked okay cause of the cinnamon and apple flavors pairing well.
I paired this fine drink, the whole bottle mind you, with "The Doors" movie. Ended up barely being able to stand the smell of cinnamon, let alone the taste. Sucks when washing dishes formerly containing apple pies is part of your job lol
If anyone is interested in a good use for Fireball, it makes a very nice flip with some apple juice and a whole egg. Works warm or cold, grate a little nutmeg on top and it's a lovely winter or autumn cocktail. 1part Fireball, 2 parts apple juice, egg, shake or whip, if serving warm, heat the applejuice, mix egg and fireball, add hot juice little at a time so the egg doesn't scramble.
The first time I went to a party with booze as a teenager, I had no idea what to drink, went straight for the Fireball with coke, had no idea how much drunk was "too drunk", and I've never been able to enjoy hot cinnamon ever since. Thanks, Fireball.
Absolutely love the channel. I've been binging through all your content recently. Not that it's important, but from my understanding it wasn't actually banned in Europe there was just simply a batch recalled because they were sent the American version by mistake. The American version being the one that contains higher levels of (I think) propylene glycol than what they consider safe while the FDA is like "I mean... its prolly fine, right? Safe for human consumption!"
Thanks for reviewing a drink on which I passed out for the first time in my life. Guy mixed fireball with pepsi and all I remember was mumbling something after the second peg. I hated the smell of cinnamon ever since. Being an Indian, it sucks because many of our dishes has cinnamon.
One reason why cinnamon taste hot is because it activates the heat sensors in your mouth, alcohol has a similar effect in which it makes the heat sensors more sensitive, that's why it burns going down. I'm going to guess the combination of these two factors makes that incredibly warm going down.
You can get them in glass in the 1.75 liter size. Or at least you used to be able to. Been a while since I've checked. Fireball is a little outside my price range these days
It no longer contains the chemical shared with antifreeze, and the ingredient was used in food safe quantities, not that it was particularly toxic to begin with.
I bought a miniature bottle of fireball once. To me it just tasted like cinnamon flavoured mould. I took a couple of sips and poured the rest down the drain. 1/100 from me.
My sweet husband still shudders at the thought of fireball. It was Halloween. She came dressed as Pocahontas and carried with her a brown paper sack containing the infamous elixir.
Ah yes, Fireball Cinnamon "Whiskey". I'd only drink it straight on a dare, but add it to a glass of Angry Orchard and it tastes like apple pie! 'Tis a dangerous combination, I drank six of them on the night I discovered it and ended up puking all over the passenger seat of my car while my sober friend drove me home. Good times :)
i don't know about the rest of the European countries but you can buy it in Denmark so if it was EU regulations banning it then they must be gone or there is a difference between the EU and US Fireball
I used to drink fireball all the time in college, could take swigs out the bottle all night. No BS, a week after I graduated I got together with some friends and bought a bottle of fireball. Took one sip and fucking hated it, haven’t touched it since. It really is something your tastebuds only enjoy if you’re in college
I've never understood why anyone thinks Fireball should be considered a 'whiskey'. I generally use and consider it a liquor, almost a spice even. Add just a dash to some irish cream and you have creamy cinnamon liquor that goes down pretty easily if you're hankering for something very sweet. Or use it to spice up a cup of coffee, maybe? Or bake with it? As for 'banned in Europe', there was a recall in 2014, and they adjusted the recipe, and now have, in fact, dropped the offending glycol from the recipe entirely. I... Wouldn't drink it straight up, at least not at the start of the evening. A few bottles of better drinks in, it might occur.
fireball gives subtle notes of throwing up at the park with your boys, then hints of ripping a street sign out of the ground and putting it in the playground so im told anyway, from the photos
It is seldom you run across a channel where you instantly know you have to watch every past video they've ever made. This is one such channel.
I feel that statement in my soul
agreed
Literally me right now lmao
This is my 5th
I felt the exact same XD
The proper etiquette with liquor that comes in plastic bottles is to just drink straight out of the bottle.
Huh you just made me realize I've never had a drink straight from a glass bottle
Nah, you put it on your coffee and day drink at work. At least that's what everyone who buys fireball does.
I always did that in the past, but not since COVID, it's just not safe to anymore. I was never a germaphobe to begin with, but now I'm much more cautious about stuff like that.
@@ninja_tony dude its alcohol it kills the germs
@@orrin1319 😂 thought this was common knowledge
I think that the biggest advantage of Fireball is that the cinnamon covers up the smell of your vomit.
Believing cinnamon covers up the smell of vomit is the same thing as saying axe covers up your nasty BO smell.
In that it doesn't.
The absolute horror of the puking up fireball more than outweighs this supposed advantage. You better hope you don't remember it the day after.
@@IHazMagics Exactly. Your puke will still reek like alcohol
@@pl412 I barely do.

Best paired with Ice Fishing at 7am
lol
Gotta be careful tho, just enough to wake you up, but not to knock you out, that's what the finishing is for.
Best paired with angry orchard to make Angry Balls
@@Akeruyri finishing? Lol
Well that’s very specific
Fun fact fireball is even more cinnamony coming back up
"fun"
As someone who’s puked back up a liter of it, you’re absolutely correct.
These comments I'm lmao!🤭😆😂😁👍
Can confirm
Ain't that the truth
Fireball tastes like someone threw a mound of cinnamon and sugar into a vat of diesel fuel.
Having tasted diesel fuel, I can safely say its better than some whiskeys I've had
It tastes like you chewed a whole pack of Big Red gum at once and did a shooter of Canadian Mist
Hey! Don't you go badmouthing diesel fuel like that!
not gonna lie, this stuff pairs amazingly with Little Caesar's pizza
Nice poverty party set up. Fireball and a hot and ready.
@@Mirokuofnite gotta get that stuffed crust 🍕👀
All aboard! The night train to puke town.
I’m not sure if this is an insult or not.
anyone who drank in their teens can never smell fireball again
Pineapple Burnett's here... artificial pineapple flavor destroyed for a lifetime, if not the next few as well.
@@sissywizard1764 I feel you. Pineapple lifesavers make me retch now
Yep. Nothing will take me back to fall semester freshman year quicker than the smell of that stuff.

My eyebrows rolled up at watching him sniff it.
Such a potent smell...
0/10, didn't shout about his ex.
What do you mean? He mentioned the demon on the bottle, that's close enough.
Poor guy quits letting his ex live rent free in his head and ppl upset lol.
too accurate
0/100*
Fireball comes in plastic now? At least they've accepted themselves
I see both in Ontario
Agreed. It's about time..
It coming in plastic would have saved a few of the parties I've attended.
“Like that fire demon had pissed in my glass” haha this killed me
This guy lowkey has killer comedy skills.
Ironically, fireball is one of the few alcohols that can't be lit on fire.
Well then what’s the point?!?!!!
Maybe it's the antifreeze?
@@raven3moon The main reason is because the alcohol content is so low but the antifreeze probably doesn't help.

It also pairs well with hard cider for a nice autumn feel

Fireball is the quintessential festival drink in the UK. You're already soaked from the rain & up to your knees in mud & the only thing that can keep you warm is fireball. It's terrible but needed 😅
Can confirm it's also a favorite of the Canadian Armed Forces during winter and Arctic training. So much so even the Officers are drinking the stuff.
The Cinnabon dumpster might be the best description yet!!

Oh he's salty alright. Fireball...bottled about 30 minutes away from my house! 🔥

He clarified his statement, by saying the ingredients in antifreeze, which were in Fireball.
These videos are amazing, binge watching them so much. Wish there were more
I’m so happy I found this channel
The best thing about Fireball is to mix it with Angry Orchard cider for "Angry Balls." Very autumnal, festive even.
I love this channel, it reminds me another great but very underrated one called My Wife Junk. Great work.
Gonna put in a request for a cap in the merch store we get eventually because I know this channel is about to really blow up.
This man's wit isn't just dry, it's almost nihilistic!

Now review Admiral Nelson’s spiced rum. Also a plastic bottle. It could be a new genre for you. Plastic packaged liquor 🥃.
Nice chaser of lady bligh to wash it down and call it a Monday.
Love to see you do Naturdays. I can't believe I ever enjoyed them.
My favorite parts of your videos are when you imitate what it's like to be drunk off the beverage you're tasting.
I so hope this channel is blessed by the algorithm gods because this guy is a talented presenter.
Fireball is basically the alcoholic equivalent of bottle rockets.
I like cinnamon whisky, I like Fireball, and I've had success making my own variety at home.
I'm literally sharing all your videos.
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen and it is amazing, love the houmor might even subscribe
Would love to see one on Natty Ice (Natural Ice)...the drink of choice for small-town highschool parties off of gravel roads or riverbanks.

You can still buy it in the UK. Idk if it's the same.
homie is such a troll lol i love it
Do you try them at room temp or do you put them in the fridge for a little?
Is it safe to drink if it’s made like antifreeze?
