@@janglestick One such thing is the Medical Information Bureau. This company keeps information on you which you've ever submitted an insurance claim for, and sometimes even if you pay cash - including procedures, diagnoses, and medications. This was used by insurance to help them assess your risk to them. It can be used for some metrics on you - like blood type or serious allergies. Unfortunately, the quality of that information nor its source is pretty much unregulated, wrong information gets there - through mistake or fraud - and you might have a procedure declined because you've already had it. Like an appendectomy. You've got wrong information from somebody else having an appendectomy, now you need one, and, alas - you find that the insurance declines it. Now, PROVE to them that "this" appendectomy was not a fraud, and the other one - done in an unspecified place, time, circumstances, physician, etc was not done. Even after you discover such a thing exists, you cannot change any "wrong" information they have on you by any means.
@@rudra62 interesting. I have run into this database, and despite it's inaccuracies, there is quite a lot of information society doesn't want to admit about itself in there. People are critical of the access places like Harvard and MIT have to information, but for the most part those sources are fairly reasonable and legal. At the upper end of the truly large research organizations, such as the USC system (not the undergrad) they do work for corporate that utilizes data that completely ignores our privacy to say the least. I met a brain researcher who had reason to access a genetic database that went way back. Not DNA info, but pertaining to the schluffing of cells, primary from gonorrhea. What he was able to interpolate regarding incest was ... just mind boggling.
don't tip full stop. there's no such thing as workers getting paid less than minimum wage. by law, all employers have to pay the legal minimum wage, though are allowed to pay a lower rate if the employee receives tips that make up the difference. the only thing that tipping does is mean that you're paying a company's employees for them, as if nobody tipped then they'd have to pay the difference so as they were at the minimum wage limit. as for whether or not minimum wage is enough to live on, that's a different conversation entirely. i presume you don't tip other minimum wage workers such as people working in target, the cashier at the gas station, etc - so why would you tip delivery workers and waiters/waitresses?
@@oxenford539 Because the video is incorrect, and is spreading false information. Food delivery drivers, such as with Doordash, are not employees, and thus minimum wage does not apply to us.
@@chooseknowledge2859 interesting. it still stands that in most cases you shouldn't tip, though. it's true that for waitresses etc the company has to pay them minimum wage and are only allowed to pay a lower rate if there's enough tips to cover the difference, which there normally is.

They need to hurry up and have robot drivers like Uber and Amazon Logistics. Solve that problem. A low-paying job is better than no job at all. Particularly in countries where no job for too long is a death sentence (ie most of Asia, no state welfare if there's no recession declared in Singapore).

Remember when I helped install some new machinery in a pizza factory in the UK (overnight, when the factory was not working) ... the wrappers at the end of the production line were for various low-cost to high end supermarket chains. Exactly the same pizzas were going into the packets, but the high-end /expensive chains had much shorter 'use by' dates ie the cheaper brands were happy to have not-at-the-peak-of-freshness-but-safe-to-eat pizzas on their shelves whereas Marks and Spencer etc threw stuff out once it was no longer very fresh. So if you are going Dumpster Diving do it out the back of an upmarket shop :)
Always. And I try to tip a bit higher. Funny, if you treat people decently, and tip reasonably, the bar tenders give you extra most of the time. Amazing, right?
Corporate companies like Darden (red lobster , Olive Garden...) look at the difference between credit card sales and tips and compare it to cash sales and lack of tips and estimate their idea of what cash tips should have been and when u clock out it won’t let you claim an unreasonably small cash tip amount without a managers approval
Never have cash and besides, some places like restaurants are often in the news for either taking the tips for themselves or "distributing it" to all the staff and not the ones who did the serving in the first place.
The same goes for “chemicals” but it’s usually used opposite to “all natural”. I guess people forget that everything is made up of chemicals and that chemicals occur naturally. For some reason they take “chemical” to mean artificial or bad/
To be fair I got an 100% natural product to find underneath this statement that even the tube was made from sugar cane and now I'm left wondering if other companies count thire containers as ingredients
@@koobs4549 I once got on a thread about "chemicals" like that and tried to use the "Dihydrogen Monoxide" hoax as an example of people being fooled by sciency-sounding words, etc. OMG, I could not believe how many people came back at me to tell me that I was a complete idiot, and WATER was not safe to drink (because they didn't know it was water). Willful ignorance is a serious problem in the modern world. People do something similar with "processed". Turning an orange into orange juice is processing an orange (even if you do it in your own kitchen). People just don't understand what the word means.

'Use by' and 'Best before' dates have different meanings in much of the world, the first is used for ultra-perishables that are most likely to be unsafe if old. Much of the non-USA required a standard 'per 100g' column on nutrition labels to allow products to be compared regardless of 'serving size'.
While you're reading labels...you may or may not want to see where the product comes from. Pay attention to the difference between "distributed by" and made in.
"Packaged on" dates have no legal meaning in Canada. Every store, processing plant, or packaging company can lawfully claim the day they put the product in THEIR package as the packaged date. So if the producer "packages" on July 1, and the processor packages the /same/ product on July 4, and the repack company packages it on July 8, and the grocery store repacks the /same/ /product/ on July 10, 11, 12, and 13th - any of those dates can be legally called the "package date". What HAS legal meaning is the best-by date, which is required to be maintained throughout the system. So if there are fewer days between the "package date" and the best-by date, the package has probably been re-packed. THIS IS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, since repacking is done to improve the product appearance, clean up a leaky or damaged package, or to make a smaller or larger package to meet demand. Repacking is NOT done to "fool" you into thinking that the product is newer than it actually is, because the best-by date is maintained. If you're fool enough to think the package date has meaning, that's not the store's fault. Best-by dates, as he stated, are problematic enough, but their actual worth is as the store's guarantee: they guarantee to refund or replace the product if it perishes before the date on the package - even if it perishes because YOU mishandled it. Want fresher food? Buy the product with the most number of days between package date and best-by date. Except... fresh is best, but fresher is NOT necessarily better. Beef is better the more it's aged, not the less; fruit is better, too, with time. Right up until they actually go off, of course. And since most produce is actually still alive, what counts is how vibrant it is, not how long it's been off the farm. Fish, of course, is better the less time it's been out of the water - but if you live more than 24 hours from the water, don't expect a noticeable difference between the fish that arrived in the store today and the fish that arrived yesterday. The rate of quality loss drops off over time; that first 24 (or fewer) hours matters SOOO much more than then next 2-3. Chicken, too. Less so with pork. And you want beef that is at LEAST 14 days old before it was put in the package with 5 days marked on it (the maximum a grocer will guarantee it for). So if you REALLY want top quality food - learn what "top quality" actually MEANS for each type of food, and quit relying on corporations to provide you with shortcuts. And buy local. Local matters more than ANYTHING any corporation can tell you. And learn how to cook - because anything "heat and serve" will necessarily be designed to make the company money, NOT provide you with the best possible food. They're investing way too much into the process to sacrifice any part of the profit for your benefit. Don't like that fact? Cook for yourself. Simple.
@@norml.hugh-mann Point is, Canadian consumers believe what they see on American TV - AND believe it applies to Canada, too. It doesn't. We don't have the horrendous poultry production processes that you do. We don't have the pork liver worms that you do. We don't have salmonella inside the eggs. And we don't have the mucus in the milk. And "packaged on" dates have no legal meaning.
@@alisoncircusI work in a small meat processing plant in the US, When we repackage bacon we put a lot date on it that reflects the day it was repackaged, not the lot date of the original manufacture. I appreciate for your comments. Particularly the "learn to cook" since most "boxed" food is loaded with salt and or sugar...
@@oneeyedmel1508 Not at all surprised. I don't know what the laws regarding dating are in the US, and suspect that some may vary by state. What matters is how the food is handled and whether the seller will guarantee a reasonable quality to the purchaser. People have strange illusions, though.
On the best by date labels, he's right. There are some items that you can continue to eat long after their expiration date. For example, I was still using a salad dressing over a year after its expiration date 🤣
Sell it as a weight loss pill. They'll lose weight, all right. You just have to put in the fine print "weight loss due to putrefaction" and it's their own dumb fault for falling for it!
Meh, I don't buy brand names of anything anyway so couldn't care less what they do. Stupid logo's and the lawyers that go with that just needlessly raise the price of what I'm buying. I'll take the generic version right next to it on the store shelves at 1/3 the price that doesn't even bother advertising (no need, the rich dummy version right beside it does that for them).
Casinos generally don't discourage card-counting, because they know that most people don't have the intelligence or discipline to do it profitably, and can easily recognize and exclude anyone that does.
I don’t know - I am sure packaged or canned food can be eaten after the “use by” date - but milk is pretty much always yucky by that date. Of course, you can also taste the sourness of the milk.
I once saw an ad here on YT for a milk brand in the states that said something like: "All products bearing the Purity Dairies name are unconditionally guaranteed for quality from the date of purchase until consumed - or your your money back" Made me wonder how they could make such a claim for dairy products.
I dont believe the you cant tell if you have been decafed. I can always tell as one it tastes bloody awful and two decaf gives me really bad headaches. Found out the hard way when friend gave me a coffee without me knowing at the time they had switched to it for "health reasons". Managed about two mouthfuls before I said something wrong with it. Vile stuff. Besides Starbucks staff more likely just spit in it, not that I would touch anything in those places, over priced crap.
I drink decaf and am seriously picky about the taste of my coffee. You just have to try a few brands until you find one you like. Even caffeinated coffe can suck.
This video is a day late! Just last night as I enjoyed a can of soup with my dinner, as I was cleaning up after dinner I happened to notice the best by date on the can was July of 2015. I thought I was going to die all night. Had you put this video out just ONE DAY EARLIER I would have had a much better nights sleep.

Hotels are seriously disgusting. No matter the hotel, nice or by the hour. There's usually minimal cleaning between guests and sometimes housekeepers even skip changing the sheets if they look nice enough (usually only mid level or lower hotels)

The last time I ordered delivery the driver lied to me about how long he was waiting for outside and that "people don't tip me if I'm late" "Your dog has been barking..." Sent the home security footage and screenshot of my recent calls list. 78seconds from pulling up I got a call (from him) and he did not get out his truck until I came outside. Gave him 30 dollars for a $28.89 bill probably exactly what he was trying to avoid.
Idk man, the expiration dates on bread and milk are pretty accurate. For me, those two things rarely last past the expiration date. Unless, you don’t open too far in advance of that date. But when I buy food, I usually plan on consuming sooner rather than later.
A - Doordash drivers aren't employees. We are independent contractors. B - They've already overhauled the pay model, and it's now more important than ever for us drivers that you tip in the app. Otherwise nobody is going to take your order, and your food will get cold, if it even gets delivered at all. Source: have been driving for them for 2.5 years
Then ya obviously dont deserve the tip either way if thats your only reason to do your jobs. Also thanks for giving the customer free food then cuz 2 phone calls and thats what they will get.
@@Kris-wo4pj I don't think you understand. Now that they've changed the pay model, in response to videos like this one, they are sending out orders that take 20-30 minutes to run, for a pay of $2-$3. Nobody in their right mind will do that. We aren't required to accept and deliver your order, at all. You don't get free food - you get no food LOL.
I live in a town called Greenville SC which is probably one of the biggest if not the biggest city in SC and I downloaded door dash and got the stuff sent to me in the mail just for me to open the app and see they had like 7 jobs for the entire state and for some reason they were all in the “lowcountry” which is the more sparsely populated part of the state.
I've seen food packages that said, "All Natural" on the front, but had some weird chemically stuff on the ingredient label. I know foods have chemical names, but the point is these companies want me to believe their product is healthy with the all-natural label and the sheer quantity of ingredients listed makes me think it's not.
You know that almost any substance has a chemical name right. Natrium chloride is the chemical name for normal household salt. Glucose is sugar. Carbon dioxide is air. Dihydrogen oxide is water.
"Natural" should mean, that everything in this product naturally occurs in nature. that is the definition of the word. and that is what consumers should get if the product has that word on the label. natural does not mean, safe. this is just what some consumers assume. but it is not the meaning of the word. the federal trade commision could regulate this for honest in advertisement.
If you want to know more about what's in your food, ask a British friend to show you the reprinted labels when American products are sold in the UK, I've got friends in America who have stopped buying some stuff after seeing the list of ingredients replacing your lists. It's pretty much put me off buying a few different American products here.
As far as counting card the trick is to not get greedy just because you're talented. As for serving sizes who the hell eat 1/4 th a can of soup? As for Starbucks I've never been in the place. Always tip cash straight to the server, I always need to thank them personally.
You forgot use of the term "Organic", which means nothing except that the manufacturer can charge twice as much for the same product and people will buy it.
Number 7 does not apply to Europe (at least where I have been too in Europe). It is always normalized to 100g, the serving size may be added as an extra collon. Also they can't say nil if sthg is below .1g, instead they have to say
@@bobraible Well then you call them and say "why is there a hold on my credit card, I was told I am running a free trial", and act dumb until they've no choice but to take it off.
That doordash stuff is pretty much EXACTLY how hospitality works here in the UK when you pay service charge and it blows my mind every day that nobody seems to care.
Our system is f'd up. Republicans are so business friendly that they put their lobbyist campaign contributions ahead of voter's interests. The trials on medical devices is way too loose and congress won't do anything about it. Same thing with nutritional supplements.
Automatically moving you from the free trial to paid is just scummy. A PROPER company would just have it so that if you logged into your account after the trial period, you'd get a notice saying "Your free trial period has expired. Please select one of our payment plans if you want to continue using our service." and only after you do that, do you get asked for a credit card number.

Bedbugs are spread when luggage is put on beds (where they live). Do NOT ever put luggage on a bed even in the fanciest hotels, and certainly not when you get home. Unpack out in the garage and wash those stinky travel clothes immediately.
Australian nutrition labels have both serving size and 100mL or 100g size - so you can see what percentage each item counts as. Does make the maths easier
Whilst you are right about used by dates, I feel I should make a public safety announcement and remind people that uncooked meat should not be kept for longer than 4 days over used by date - especially chicken - it might be safe but is it worth the risk? Learn what off meat smells like, it will save your life.
The difference between the nicer and crapper hotels is that the nicer hotels pay pest control companies for service,l and typically go for service over price.... verses cheaper hotels means they want the cheapest pest service. Trust me I’ve given the bids!
Straight up HBO is trash, I stopped my prime subscription a month after it was supposed to expire and because I hadn't used it got all my money back. Every time I try to use HBO on a new device I have to go through hell to get it to work.
Completely agree, Qualitybacon! I've tried switching to decaf over the years and I have YET to find one which didn't taste like sh*t. They're both like night & day.
As a worker at Walmart I see a lot of the products on the shelves. One in particular was two different brands of sugar which showed one with half the calories than the other (per serving). Close inspection revealed that they got such a reduced calorie count was that they specified a serving amount that was half of what the other brand specified. In the end, they both had exactly the same calorie count for a given amount. Great example of "buyer beware".

In the 1990's, serving portions got bloody ridiculous - with a 12-oz can of soda being listed as having 3 4-oz servings. As a result, Congress stepped in and made significant changes to serving sizes, standardizing many of them based on a few factors. Manufacturers in the USA don't have much leeway when it comes to fudging the legally defined serving sizes. There have been consumer led drives to alter those, but the FDA and USDA don't have a budget to work on that, or any convincing scientific standards.
That's why if you're counting cards, you need to keep your winnings modest at any given casino, share the wealth a bit, and pack up and leave before you win enough to look suspicious.
label lies...just one example: I"m highly allergic to nickel. I bought earrings that said nickel-free on the front. Put them on and my ears blew up and got infected. I dug out the card they came on and it said "less than 0.05 nickel" - on the back! That is NOT nickel free.
It's being sold all over the place locally. I looked it up. There's a lot of "a study indicates" and "has been linked to". But peer reviewed studies involving large groups, can't seem to find them.

I have to disagree with the supplement assessment, there is so many things wrong with what is said. lets start with generalization and the statement that they have not been tested or studied, which vitamin are we talking about? A, C, E, the fact that you just pooled all supplements together as being all the same thing, is akin to me saying that food has not been studied for human safety and consumption or proven effective for nutrition. because there are some foods that have not been "studied" I can just generalize them all as the same thing, right? So go ahead do research on vitamin C, just 1 of the many vitamins and supplements taken by people, with over 300 research papers and proven effective and safe in humans, but hey it's just snake oil right? what about Iron for those that have an iron deficiency? more snake oil? Calcium ? just BS supplement that has no benefit? The REAL problem with the supplement industry, is outlandish claims by the manufacturers , for example vitamin C might have dozens of benefits, but it won't make your hair stop turning gray, or make you lose weight. another problem is dosage, a certain manufacturer, will make a claim that XXX supplement has been proven in a lab to be effective for ZZZ condition. what they do not tell you is that to get those benefits you would need to consume 4 times the amount they put in a bottle. Conclusion, MOST supplements in drug stores, from Vitamin A to Zinc, minerals, and Omega 3, are all effective and have tons of research to back them up, for safety and effectiveness. but that does not mean they will help everyone. if you do not have an iron deficiency to start with, supplementing with iron won't do anything. So anyone or any media outlet that just bundles all supplements together and calls them snake oil, or useless, should be taken with a grain of salt. I agree the supplement industry needs some regulation, specially in quality control, ( purity, and actual dosage,) and phony claims.
I think his point was that the particular bottle of whatever you are buying has not been tested for content or efficacy. Yes, Vitamin C has been studied, but that bottle in your hand my not contain the amount it says it has.
9:20 If only people knew that the chemicals they use to remove the caffeine are probably worse than the caffeine itself. Dunno what the point of drinking coffee without caffeine is anyway. That's like smoking a bowl with the THC removed or drinking non-alcoholic beer.
On Best Before and Use By dates, I am more concerned by the latter, because - at least in Australia - those get put on foods that go bad and can be dangerous when they do. I pay attention to Use By dates on dairy and meat, because I have issues about rotten food. Best By foods? That has far more leeway IMO. Also, I never pay attention to Serving Sizes, I only read the per 100g values.
"Chemicals" in foods can just mean well-understood food additives that if addressed by their non-"chemical" names people would think nothing of them. For instance, many baked goods you buy have sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaCHO3) added to them - scary name isn't it? It's baking powder. We know baking powder is trustworthy. Even the great scary "meat glue" can be used for creative and interesting cooking, and with a bit of mindfulness about hygiene, is harmless.
In the UK we have *best before* and *Use by* dates, the green stuff on best before is not expected to kill you but the green stuff on the Use by can invalidate your life insurance.
I just want to point out you showed "organic" while talking about natural. Organic actually has to be certified because it has to do with growing conditions. If you don't follow the rules you can be uncertified. Therefore, it is illegal to call yourself organic when you have not been certified.
That's only true in some states. In general, the word "organic" means "contains carbon". If there's a single carbon atom in whatever you're selling, it is "organic" by that definition. Something that says something like, "Meets standards for Organic under California Code (umptysquat)" means precisely that - even if you're not in California or even if the company or farmer is not in CA.

Seems the word "natural" in marketing is as meaningful as the word "fresh". I've seen canned foods labelled as "made with fresh fruit" or "cooked fresh". Probably technically true as the food was fresh when first packaged.

"Everything in the world is natural..."
Except "Beyond Meat"! ;)
Remember when I helped install some new machinery in a pizza factory in the UK (overnight, when the factory was not working) ... the wrappers at the end of the production line were for various low-cost to high end supermarket chains. Exactly the same pizzas were going into the packets, but the high-end /expensive chains had much shorter
'use by' dates ie the cheaper brands were happy to have not-at-the-peak-of-freshness-but-safe-to-eat pizzas on their shelves whereas Marks and Spencer etc threw stuff out once it was no longer very fresh. So if you are going Dumpster Diving do it out the back of an upmarket shop :)
Turkeys..bread.. All the same product different bags, different price.
There should be a list of all these.👍
Always give tips in cash, if you can.
I never have cash. On the bright side, I live in a country where it's illegal to pay food workers less than minimum wage.
Always. And I try to tip a bit higher. Funny, if you treat people decently, and tip reasonably, the bar tenders give you extra most of the time. Amazing, right?
Corporate companies like Darden (red lobster , Olive Garden...) look at the difference between credit card sales and tips and compare it to cash sales and lack of tips and estimate their idea of what cash tips should have been and when u clock out it won’t let you claim an unreasonably small cash tip amount without a managers approval
Never have cash and besides, some places like restaurants are often in the news for either taking the tips for themselves or "distributing it" to all the staff and not the ones who did the serving in the first place.
Or, you know, don't tip. I'm not their boss.
BTW, those "best by" dates"...you can thank Al Capone for inventing that idea (on milk, anyway)
My favorite is "All Natural", and how seriously some people take the term. I love my daily dose of Simon, and this great channel.
The same goes for “chemicals” but it’s usually used opposite to “all natural”. I guess people forget that everything is made up of chemicals and that chemicals occur naturally. For some reason they take “chemical” to mean artificial or bad/
To be fair I got an 100% natural product to find underneath this statement that even the tube was made from sugar cane and now I'm left wondering if other companies count thire containers as ingredients
@@koobs4549 I once got on a thread about "chemicals" like that and tried to use the "Dihydrogen Monoxide" hoax as an example of people being fooled by sciency-sounding words, etc. OMG, I could not believe how many people came back at me to tell me that I was a complete idiot, and WATER was not safe to drink (because they didn't know it was water). Willful ignorance is a serious problem in the modern world.
People do something similar with "processed". Turning an orange into orange juice is processing an orange (even if you do it in your own kitchen). People just don't understand what the word means.
@@koobs4549 That’s why I only eat breakfast cerial made from antimatter.
As to the first secret: When I was in the USAF, there was a sergeant in my squadron who was banned from every casino in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. Why? Because he could count cards in his head and the casinos figured it out.
yeah my ex was the same, he'd probably get away with it once but would then be banned. it's the same in europe.
The choice of #1 feels so specific and random that it makes me think this whole video was put together based solely on one behind-the-scenes person’s experience with being upset that HBO charged them early.
Just wait until they do a video on title loans and predatory car loans.
I'd expect Comcast to pull the HBO trick, but not HBO itself.
I disputed the credit card charge with HBO Now and won.
'Use by' and 'Best before' dates have different meanings in much of the world, the first is used for ultra-perishables that are most likely to be unsafe if old. Much of the non-USA required a standard 'per 100g' column on nutrition labels to allow products to be compared regardless of 'serving size'.
"Serving size" is really an issue for us Diabetics
Serving size is 8 potato chips? Come on! Nobody eats just 8 potato chips!
I hate this. 17g of carbs for a Little Debbie oatmeal creme pie. Not bad for something so sweet. But that's for a "serving size" of 1/3 of the pie.
In the EU nutritional information is almost always based on 100 grams. It make it so much easier.
I always liked it when for a while a can of Coke was apparently three servings.
Which is why there does really need to be a standardised serving size.
Pre-diabetic here.
While you're reading labels...you may or may not want to see where the product comes from. Pay attention to the difference between "distributed by" and made in.
And "assembled in". Not the same as "made in".
Christel Headington exactly
The EPA and the FDA are too backlogged to do their job. Yes, the current administration is too busy making themselves enriched!
"Packaged on" dates have no legal meaning in Canada. Every store, processing plant, or packaging company can lawfully claim the day they put the product in THEIR package as the packaged date. So if the producer "packages" on July 1, and the processor packages the /same/ product on July 4, and the repack company packages it on July 8, and the grocery store repacks the /same/ /product/ on July 10, 11, 12, and 13th - any of those dates can be legally called the "package date". What HAS legal meaning is the best-by date, which is required to be maintained throughout the system. So if there are fewer days between the "package date" and the best-by date, the package has probably been re-packed. THIS IS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, since repacking is done to improve the product appearance, clean up a leaky or damaged package, or to make a smaller or larger package to meet demand. Repacking is NOT done to "fool" you into thinking that the product is newer than it actually is, because the best-by date is maintained. If you're fool enough to think the package date has meaning, that's not the store's fault. Best-by dates, as he stated, are problematic enough, but their actual worth is as the store's guarantee: they guarantee to refund or replace the product if it perishes before the date on the package - even if it perishes because YOU mishandled it.
Want fresher food? Buy the product with the most number of days between package date and best-by date. Except... fresh is best, but fresher is NOT necessarily better. Beef is better the more it's aged, not the less; fruit is better, too, with time. Right up until they actually go off, of course. And since most produce is actually still alive, what counts is how vibrant it is, not how long it's been off the farm. Fish, of course, is better the less time it's been out of the water - but if you live more than 24 hours from the water, don't expect a noticeable difference between the fish that arrived in the store today and the fish that arrived yesterday. The rate of quality loss drops off over time; that first 24 (or fewer) hours matters SOOO much more than then next 2-3. Chicken, too. Less so with pork. And you want beef that is at LEAST 14 days old before it was put in the package with 5 days marked on it (the maximum a grocer will guarantee it for).
So if you REALLY want top quality food - learn what "top quality" actually MEANS for each type of food, and quit relying on corporations to provide you with shortcuts. And buy local. Local matters more than ANYTHING any corporation can tell you. And learn how to cook - because anything "heat and serve" will necessarily be designed to make the company money, NOT provide you with the best possible food. They're investing way too much into the process to sacrifice any part of the profit for your benefit. Don't like that fact? Cook for yourself. Simple.
Thimgs are different in the US
@@norml.hugh-mann Point is, Canadian consumers believe what they see on American TV - AND believe it applies to Canada, too. It doesn't. We don't have the horrendous poultry production processes that you do. We don't have the pork liver worms that you do. We don't have salmonella inside the eggs. And we don't have the mucus in the milk.
And "packaged on" dates have no legal meaning.
@@alisoncircusI work in a small meat processing plant in the US, When we repackage bacon we put a lot date on it that reflects the day it was repackaged, not the lot date of the original manufacture. I appreciate for your comments. Particularly the "learn to cook" since most "boxed" food is loaded with salt and or sugar...
@@oneeyedmel1508 Not at all surprised. I don't know what the laws regarding dating are in the US, and suspect that some may vary by state. What matters is how the food is handled and whether the seller will guarantee a reasonable quality to the purchaser. People have strange illusions, though.
On the best by date labels, he's right. There are some items that you can continue to eat long after their expiration date. For example, I was still using a salad dressing over a year after its expiration date 🤣
I have all-natural cyanide. I'm going to eat it, because it's natural and therefore healthy. Krrrg. Hrnmoh. Urgh. Me deaded.

As a person who has eaten a lot of Marmite sandwiches as a child I can say with surety that Marmite tastes past it’s “best by” date always.
Meh, I don't buy brand names of anything anyway so couldn't care less what they do. Stupid logo's and the lawyers that go with that just needlessly raise the price of what I'm buying. I'll take the generic version right next to it on the store shelves at 1/3 the price that doesn't even bother advertising (no need, the rich dummy version right beside it does that for them).

eeps...sleeping with a can of raid if i ever travel again. alcohol in the straw, now that is evil genius level.
I don’t know - I am sure packaged or canned food can be eaten after the “use by” date - but milk is pretty much always yucky by that date. Of course, you can also taste the sourness of the milk.
Even sour milk isnt actually dangerous (assuming its been pasteurized) it just tastes gross
I once saw an ad here on YT for a milk brand in the states that said something like:
"All products bearing the Purity Dairies name are unconditionally guaranteed for quality from the date of purchase until consumed - or your your money back"
Made me wonder how they could make such a claim for dairy products.
"They decafed you" is my new favorite phrase
It's way funnier to "Caf" a pretentious decaf not fat mocha late snob
I dont believe the you cant tell if you have been decafed. I can always tell as one it tastes bloody awful and two decaf gives me really bad headaches. Found out the hard way when friend gave me a coffee without me knowing at the time they had switched to it for "health reasons". Managed about two mouthfuls before I said something wrong with it. Vile stuff. Besides Starbucks staff more likely just spit in it, not that I would touch anything in those places, over priced crap.
I drink decaf and am seriously picky about the taste of my coffee. You just have to try a few brands until you find one you like. Even caffeinated coffe can suck.
This video is a day late! Just last night as I enjoyed a can of soup with my dinner, as I was cleaning up after dinner I happened to notice the best by date on the can was July of 2015. I thought I was going to die all night. Had you put this video out just ONE DAY EARLIER I would have had a much better nights sleep.
Although the quality will degrade in terms of taste and nutrition, I have read accounts of 100 year old canned goods that were still technically edible.

Hotels are seriously disgusting. No matter the hotel, nice or by the hour. There's usually minimal cleaning between guests and sometimes housekeepers even skip changing the sheets if they look nice enough (usually only mid level or lower hotels)

Many large corporations use a loophole in the 13th Amendment in the US to legally exploit prison slave labor to make things you probably buy.

B - They've already overhauled the pay model, and it's now more important than ever for us drivers that you tip in the app. Otherwise nobody is going to take your order, and your food will get cold, if it even gets delivered at all.

I had to cancel my debit card to stop 1 channel from charging me. Multiple tries to get them to stop didn't work

Because Simon Whistler actually pays attention to his UA-cam analytics reports?
I live in a town called Greenville SC which is probably one of the biggest if not the biggest city in SC and I downloaded door dash and got the stuff sent to me in the mail just for me to open the app and see they had like 7 jobs for the entire state and for some reason they were all in the “lowcountry” which is the more sparsely populated part of the state.
I've seen food packages that said, "All Natural" on the front, but had some weird chemically stuff on the ingredient label.
I know foods have chemical names, but the point is these companies want me to believe their product is healthy with the all-natural label and the sheer quantity of ingredients listed makes me think it's not.
Chemicals are part of nature.
You know that almost any substance has a chemical name right. Natrium chloride is the chemical name for normal household salt. Glucose is sugar. Carbon dioxide is air. Dihydrogen oxide is water.
"Natural flavours" could really just be anything
I hope this is a joke.
"Natural" should mean, that everything in this product naturally occurs in nature. that is the definition of the word. and that is what consumers should get if the product has that word on the label. natural does not mean, safe. this is just what some consumers assume. but it is not the meaning of the word. the federal trade commision could regulate this for honest in advertisement.

Think how much extra $$$ HBO makes with that tiny business "defect." Otherwise, they wouldn't do it.
As far as counting card the trick is to not get greedy just because you're talented. As for serving sizes who the hell eat 1/4 th a can of soup? As for Starbucks I've never been in the place. Always tip cash straight to the server, I always need to thank them personally.
You forgot use of the term "Organic", which means nothing except that the manufacturer can charge twice as much for the same product and people will buy it.
Number 7 does not apply to Europe (at least where I have been too in Europe). It is always normalized to 100g, the serving size may be added as an extra collon. Also they can't say nil if sthg is below .1g, instead they have to say
How to pull one on HBO's free trial: Buy a prepaid credit card, register the trial under that, then spend it in the meantime! :D
Not if they put ahold on the credit card for the renewal amount as Simon related.

@@bobraible Well then you call them and say "why is there a hold on my credit card, I was told I am running a free trial", and act dumb until they've no choice but to take it off.
That doordash stuff is pretty much EXACTLY how hospitality works here in the UK when you pay service charge and it blows my mind every day that nobody seems to care.
Love how most of these are an issue only in the US.
Our system is f'd up. Republicans are so business friendly that they put their lobbyist campaign contributions ahead of voter's interests. The trials on medical devices is way too loose and congress won't do anything about it. Same thing with nutritional supplements.
Automatically moving you from the free trial to paid is just scummy. A PROPER company would just have it so that if you logged into your account after the trial period, you'd get a notice saying "Your free trial period has expired. Please select one of our payment plans if you want to continue using our service." and only after you do that, do you get asked for a credit card number.

Australian nutrition labels have both serving size and 100mL or 100g size - so you can see what percentage each item counts as. Does make the maths easier
Whilst you are right about used by dates, I feel I should make a public safety announcement and remind people that uncooked meat should not be kept for longer than 4 days over used by date - especially chicken - it might be safe but is it worth the risk? Learn what off meat smells like, it will save your life.

HBO now users can also sue for false advertising. Just takes one to end that illegal practice, as its NOT legal. That is blatant false advertisement.
As a worker at Walmart I see a lot of the products on the shelves. One in particular was two different brands of sugar which showed one with half the calories than the other (per serving). Close inspection revealed that they got such a reduced calorie count was that they specified a serving amount that was half of what the other brand specified. In the end, they both had exactly the same calorie count for a given amount.
Great example of "buyer beware".

In the 1990's, serving portions got bloody ridiculous - with a 12-oz can of soda being listed as having 3 4-oz servings. As a result, Congress stepped in and made significant changes to serving sizes, standardizing many of them based on a few factors. Manufacturers in the USA don't have much leeway when it comes to fudging the legally defined serving sizes. There have been consumer led drives to alter those, but the FDA and USDA don't have a budget to work on that, or any convincing scientific standards.

Ethelred Hardrede
Nice label! My wife always says, "Oh, it's all natural. So is arsenic."
I have to disagree with the supplement assessment, there is so many things wrong with what is said. lets start with generalization and the statement that they have not been tested or studied, which vitamin are we talking about? A, C, E, the fact that you just pooled all supplements together as being all the same thing, is akin to me saying that food has not been studied for human safety and consumption or proven effective for nutrition. because there are some foods that have not been "studied" I can just generalize them all as the same thing, right?
So go ahead do research on vitamin C, just 1 of the many vitamins and supplements taken by people, with over 300 research papers and proven effective and safe in humans, but hey it's just snake oil right? what about Iron for those that have an iron deficiency? more snake oil? Calcium ? just BS supplement that has no benefit?
The REAL problem with the supplement industry, is outlandish claims by the manufacturers , for example vitamin C might have dozens of benefits, but it won't make your hair stop turning gray, or make you lose weight. another problem is dosage, a certain manufacturer, will make a claim that XXX supplement has been proven in a lab to be effective for ZZZ condition. what they do not tell you is that to get those benefits you would need to consume 4 times the amount they put in a bottle.
Conclusion, MOST supplements in drug stores, from Vitamin A to Zinc, minerals, and Omega 3, are all effective and have tons of research to back them up, for safety and effectiveness. but that does not mean they will help everyone. if you do not have an iron deficiency to start with, supplementing with iron won't do anything.
So anyone or any media outlet that just bundles all supplements together and calls them snake oil, or useless, should be taken with a grain of salt. I agree the supplement industry needs some regulation, specially in quality control, ( purity, and actual dosage,) and phony claims.
I think his point was that the particular bottle of whatever you are buying has not been tested for content or efficacy. Yes, Vitamin C has been studied, but that bottle in your hand my not contain the amount it says it has.
@@debbibowen Totally agree that purity, dosage, and content are all what they should be.
9:20 If only people knew that the chemicals they use to remove the caffeine are probably worse than the caffeine itself. Dunno what the point of drinking coffee without caffeine is anyway. That's like smoking a bowl with the THC removed or drinking non-alcoholic beer.
On Best Before and Use By dates, I am more concerned by the latter, because - at least in Australia - those get put on foods that go bad and can be dangerous when they do. I pay attention to Use By dates on dairy and meat, because I have issues about rotten food. Best By foods? That has far more leeway IMO.
Also, I never pay attention to Serving Sizes, I only read the per 100g values.
"Chemicals" in foods can just mean well-understood food additives that if addressed by their non-"chemical" names people would think nothing of them. For instance, many baked goods you buy have sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaCHO3) added to them - scary name isn't it? It's baking powder. We know baking powder is trustworthy.
Even the great scary "meat glue" can be used for creative and interesting cooking, and with a bit of mindfulness about hygiene, is harmless.
In the UK we have *best before* and *Use by* dates, the green stuff on best before is not expected to kill you but the green stuff on the Use by can invalidate your life insurance.
I just want to point out you showed "organic" while talking about natural. Organic actually has to be certified because it has to do with growing conditions. If you don't follow the rules you can be uncertified. Therefore, it is illegal to call yourself organic when you have not been certified.
That's only true in some states. In general, the word "organic" means "contains carbon". If there's a single carbon atom in whatever you're selling, it is "organic" by that definition.
Something that says something like, "Meets standards for Organic under California Code (umptysquat)" means precisely that - even if you're not in California or even if the company or farmer is not in CA.
"Cage free" and "free range" eggs have no legal meaning, either.

@@phoenixrisin2269 Close. "Free Range " have to have access to open space with a minimum ratio of space to flock. They are actually more likely to be infected as they come into contact with wild birds so have to be very closely monitored compared with "Cage" and "Barn".
