00:00:00.080 Recently on the show, I mentioned how I saw somebody at, when I was at Walmart, in fact,
00:00:04.420 buying a bottle of Skittles juice.
00:00:07.620 And I didn't know that Skittles juice existed, but it does.
00:00:10.140 It's a thing.
00:00:10.680 And there was someone actually buying it on purpose.
00:00:12.680 Ooh.
00:00:13.320 And so then, of course, we got the suggestion from a kind of,
00:00:15.680 oh, you should drink Skittles juice on camera.
00:00:19.060 And that quickly, what that quickly turned into was,
00:00:21.580 well, let's in fact have me try all of the worst junk food that's currently on the market.
00:00:27.640 This is actually, this is all the stuff that RFK Jr. is going to be banning.
00:00:32.400 These are all going to be the banned items that I'm going to taste them now
00:00:37.660 and get cancer from them now right before they're banned.
00:00:42.020 So RFK Jr. is going to bust through those doors any minute now.
00:00:50.260 Because most of them have, what is it that they have in them, McKenna, that is going to get banned?
00:00:54.180 A lot of these items have red 40.
00:00:56.740 Red 40.
00:00:57.380 And red 40 is essentially what a poison that gives you cancer.
00:00:59.780 Is that right?
00:01:00.480 That's correct.
00:01:01.300 All right.
00:01:01.680 One to five.
00:01:02.940 Five is like a delicious $95 steak at your favorite steakhouse.
00:01:08.600 And one is pure rancid filth.
00:01:11.160 And I'll give my review.
00:01:13.340 We'll start with these.
00:01:13.900 What are these, McKenna?
00:01:14.600 What are these things you...
00:01:15.400 Those are red velvet cookies.
00:01:17.600 Red velvet cookies.
00:01:18.960 Okay.
00:01:19.240 Red velvet cookies with, what's it?
00:01:20.520 Is it marshmallow in the middle?
00:01:22.000 I believe it's just white chocolate chips.
00:01:24.180 No, there's...
00:01:25.100 What is that white stuff in the middle?
00:01:26.520 You better know what that is.
00:01:27.400 I'm not eating it if you don't know what that is.
00:01:28.620 Is that not on the packaging?
00:01:30.540 You can always find out by just trying it.
00:01:32.920 All right.
00:01:33.160 And this has red 40 in it.
00:01:34.340 Okay.
00:01:35.100 You can tell because it's kind of red.
00:01:36.240 Is that red?
00:01:36.700 I guess.
00:01:36.900 No, I'm trying it and I still don't know what that is.
00:01:44.740 I mean, it looks like what it tastes like, which is not food.
00:01:47.020 This is not food.
00:01:48.440 You shouldn't be eating this.
00:01:50.500 This is not meant for human consumption.
00:01:52.540 Do we not give me an actual glass of water for this bit?
00:01:55.800 Do I not have actual water to drink in between these?
00:01:58.600 That's a one.
00:01:59.260 That's a one out of five.
00:02:00.300 So I have a feeling that's going to be what all these are rated.
00:02:02.660 Okay, next we have, what are these?
00:02:06.920 So those are Lucky Charms breakfast bars.
00:02:09.440 That is my least favorite cereal.
00:02:11.100 So these got red 40 in them too?
00:02:13.400 Yes, they do.
00:02:17.480 Not as bad as the other one.
00:02:18.660 Still really bad.
00:02:19.360 Don't get me wrong.
00:02:21.040 Who's eating this?
00:02:21.940 This is what I want to know.
00:02:23.040 I can't imagine a grown adult eating a Lucky Charms breakfast bar.
00:02:28.520 I can't imagine that.
00:02:30.160 So this is what kids, for kids.
00:02:34.000 What parent is buying this for their kids?
00:02:36.760 You should go to prison if you buy this for your kids.
00:02:38.500 You should actually go to prison.
00:02:41.680 That's a one also.
00:02:43.000 Okay, what is this?
00:02:43.580 Rice Krispies.
00:02:44.400 Oh, Sonic Rice Krispies.
00:02:46.600 Yeah, because I don't like Sonic, so.
00:02:51.120 I mean, I've had Rice Krispies, so this is not.
00:02:55.900 Yeah, I mean, you know.
00:02:57.500 Again, I'm going to assume that adults are not eating Sonic Rice Krispie treats.
00:03:04.380 I actually feel, I'm not just saying this for camera, I feel sick.
00:03:09.040 Okay, that's a one also.
00:03:11.060 I was going to say that we should just, all this stuff needs to be chucked into a fire,
00:03:14.160 but I don't think you can burn it.
00:03:15.220 I don't think it's safe to burn it.
00:03:16.500 If you burn it, it'll be, you know, you'll have to evacuate the whole town.
00:03:19.160 It'll be Chernobyl. 0.82
00:03:20.200 Who knows you better than you know yourself?
00:03:21.880 Your family, your friends.
00:03:22.860 Well, if you own any internet-connected device, there's thousands of companies out there
00:03:26.740 that might know you better than you even know yourself.
00:03:29.460 They're called data brokers, and they make billions tracking everything you do online.
00:03:33.120 Every purchase, every location, every conversation, your most personal beliefs,
00:03:36.960 all packaged into a profile.
00:03:38.760 They sell to marketers, activists, and yes, politicians looking to influence you.
00:03:42.340 You go completely off the grid, or if you want to do something about it, you can use ExpressVPN.
00:03:46.860 ExpressVPN.
00:03:47.740 These companies track you through your IP address, your digital fingerprint.
00:03:51.520 ExpressVPN gives you a new IP address and a location you choose, making you virtually untraceable.
00:03:56.500 With ExpressVPN, your connection is encrypted and routed through secure servers.
00:03:59.800 Even your internet provider can't see your activity, which is important,
00:04:02.700 since they're legally allowed to sell your data to whoever they want.
00:04:05.340 I love the peace of mind it gives me when I'm traveling for work
00:04:07.560 and have to connect to public internet that literally anybody could be on.
00:04:10.620 Knowing my sense of information is secure when I'm on the go makes all the difference.
00:04:13.640 Plus, ExpressVPN works on all your devices, phone, laptop, tablet,
00:04:17.280 with just one click for instant privacy.
00:04:19.860 It could not be any easier.

00:04:32.060 All right, these are, what are these?
00:04:33.860 Those are Pillsbury Funfetti popcorn.
00:04:37.440 Pillsbury Funfetti popcorn.
00:04:40.100 Why are people fat?
00:04:41.280 Where's the obesity epidemic coming from?
00:04:43.260 It's such a mystery.
00:04:44.840 There's a market.
00:04:46.060 There's a market for Pillsbury Funfetti popcorn.
00:04:49.460 And now we're wondering, what is everyone fat for?
00:04:51.380 It must be, is it a genetic, is it a hormonal?
00:04:54.300 There's hormonal imbalances.
00:04:55.820 There's a thyroid.
00:04:56.540 Everyone has thyroid problems.
00:04:58.700 No, it couldn't be the Pillsbury Funfetti popcorn that everyone's eating.
00:05:07.680 Okay, number one, it's stale, I think.
00:05:09.900 And it's awful.
00:05:10.440 I mean, it's just, it's not, it's not popcorn.
00:05:13.180 This is not popcorn.
00:05:14.280 That's a lie.
00:05:15.020 There's, this is not what, like, what is that?
00:05:17.340 That's, that's styrofoam in there.
00:05:19.620 That's not popcorn.
00:05:20.440 Is this actually food?
00:05:21.500 Is this part of the joke?
00:05:22.380 Is this part of the bit?
00:05:23.060 You gave me one thing that's not even food?
00:05:24.720 No, that, well, it's in the food section.
00:05:26.640 Okay, that's, that's styrofoam.
00:05:28.760 You see that?
00:05:29.480 You hear that?
00:05:31.320 Can you hear the, was that next to the microphone?
00:05:33.360 You can hear that?
00:05:33.800 That's not, this is not, that's not the sound of popcorn.
00:05:37.200 This is, what is that when you, you know, when you order some, something, you know, something
00:05:41.180 fragile in the, in the mail and they send, they have all the, you know, the little styrofoam
00:05:45.160 peanut things that get all over the place.
00:05:47.240 It's, this is that.
00:05:48.380 I just ate that.
00:05:50.240 Um, let's get this out of the way.
00:05:51.900 So this, I actually know you absolutely hate, uh, Peep's cereal.
00:05:56.180 Peep's cereal.
00:05:57.320 Is this raw milk that you put in here too?
00:05:58.960 Is that part, is that going to be the next thing?
00:06:00.360 Just tell me now.
00:06:00.960 Is it raw milk?
00:06:01.720 No, that would have been a really good idea though.
00:06:03.400 No, it would not be a good idea.
00:06:05.080 I can get E. coli and cancer.
00:06:06.460 Maybe they cancel each other out.
00:06:08.160 I don't know if it works that way.
00:06:10.460 Oh, it's like, it's all soggy.
00:06:14.320 Oh God, help me. 0.79
00:06:15.880 That's not even a one.
00:06:16.940 I don't know why that's not even, that's, that, that doesn't make it.
00:06:19.340 Is that Windex?
00:06:22.060 Did you spray Windex in this?
00:06:23.600 Oh my God, no.
00:06:24.860 Full on Windex.
00:06:25.780 I've never had Windex before, but it tastes like what I imagine Windex tastes like.
00:06:30.620 What is this fizzy bull here?
00:06:32.440 What is this?
00:06:33.220 So that's, uh, the energy drink C4 and that is Jolly Rancher's flavored.
00:06:39.480 Specifically green apple.
00:06:44.200 Oh my God.
00:06:45.960 Oh, that's bad.
00:06:46.960 That is, that is vile.
00:06:50.220 We went to war with Iraq over this kind of thing.
00:06:52.780 We did.
00:06:53.180 This is like, this is chemical warfare.
00:06:55.020 So actually what's slightly more horrifying about that is there are zero added sugars.
00:07:00.800 Then what is, what is, what is all the sweetness?
00:07:04.320 Just pure chemical, chemical sweetness.
00:07:07.900 Don't laugh at my, I don't want to hear you laughing.
00:07:10.020 Turn the thing off if you're going to laugh and enjoy it so much.
00:07:12.940 Okay, so finally after that tour through the bowels of hell, we've made it to the Skittles juice.
00:07:21.600 The thing that started all this, started us on this, this madcap journey.
00:07:26.200 Um, I do, I feel nauseated.
00:07:29.380 I feel sickened.
00:07:30.340 Um, I guess I'm supposed to take a sip of all these.
00:07:34.220 So let's, uh, now we finally made it to the Skittles juice.
00:07:40.220 Hang on.
00:07:41.320 Let me just get through this.
00:07:47.080 What the is that?
00:07:48.640 What is that?
00:07:49.660 That's the tropical flavored one.
00:07:51.560 No, that's Drano.
00:07:53.100 I had Drano once.
00:07:54.160 I told myself I'd never drink it again.
00:08:00.700 Ugh.
00:08:01.680 I need to go to the hospital.
00:08:03.200 I actually am going to leave and go to the hospital.
00:08:05.520 I don't know if I can drive.
00:08:06.740 I don't know if I can make it there.
00:08:08.060 I think I'm going to need an ambulance.
00:08:09.720 It's like Kool-Aid, but it tastes less healthy.
00:08:13.640 I mean, it's making me pine for the nutritional value of Kool-Aid.
00:08:17.640 It's terrible.
00:08:18.300 This is, uh, it is as bad as I thought, but worse at the same time.
00:08:24.300 And my stomach, uh, right now is screaming out in pain.
00:08:30.060 My soul is crying with anguish.
00:08:34.320 Uh, RFK Jr., save us from this.
00:08:40.980 I lost my train of thought.
00:08:43.000 Okay, that's it.
00:08:44.120 We can cut it off.
00:08:48.300 We can cut it off. 0.99
00:08:48.760 We can cut it off. 0.99
00:08:50.200 We can cut it off. 0.99
00:08:50.900 We can cut it off.
00:08:51.200 I'll see you now.
00:08:51.560 We can cut it off.
00:08:53.620 We can cut it off.
00:08:55.220 I'll see you next time.
00:08:56.800 Bye-bye.
00:09:10.100 Bye-bye.
