Speaker 1: Welcome aboard Bus one. We're on our way to Seattle, Washington,
Speaker 1: and we've got some time to kill. Let's do some trivia. Passengers,
Speaker 1: introduce yourselves.
Speaker 2: I'm Cooper, I'm Mac, and I'm Mitch.
Speaker 1: And I'm Steven. Now I've touched the theme for today's
Speaker 1: trivia a secret from all of you. We don't do
Speaker 1: this a lot anymore, which I you know, I kind
Speaker 1: of miss so I thought i'd keep it a secret.
Speaker 1: With the location, we're headed to Seattle, Washington. Any guesses
Speaker 1: that is relevant to the topic relevant Rain. I would
Speaker 1: like a water cycle episode, but that would be too similar.
Speaker 3: So I have no idea. I have no idea.
Speaker 4: The Seattle Mariners. Marie is around the world.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. You know the Seattle Mariners. They do
Speaker 1: have an arena. That's not the case. Mac, can you
Speaker 1: think of anything related to Seattle.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm guessing space needle. I'm guessing skyscraper, or maybe like.
Speaker 1: Weird restaurants the heavens, Yes, weird restaurants. Okay, Well, I
Speaker 1: guess I'll spoil it. Today's well, at some point, you know,
Speaker 1: I have to spoil it. Today's topic is caffeine. Seattle
Speaker 1: is considered the coffee capital of the US and is
Speaker 1: the city in the US that consumes the most caffeine capital. Wow,
Speaker 1: so today we're going to be talking all about caffeine,
Speaker 1: the most popular drug in its various forms.
Speaker 2: Well, sorry to break it to you guys, but I
Speaker 2: think I'm addicted to caffeine. So I might have a
Speaker 2: one up on all of you.
Speaker 4: How much do you know about your drug of choice?
Speaker 2: Match? I I you know what, In honesty, I don't
Speaker 2: know a lot. All I know is that I'm a
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 1: Well you're gonna learn, So let's get into these rules.
Speaker 1: There will be three rounds with five questions each. Getting
Speaker 1: questions right in round one will earn you one caffeine coin,
Speaker 1: I like calling the points coinsine. Round two two caffeine coins.
Speaker 1: Round three get this three caffeine coins. That is, unless
Speaker 1: you take advantage of this episode's gimmick, the hype mechanic.
Speaker 1: Consuming lots of caffeine will get you hyper. So getting
Speaker 1: multiple questions correct in a row will earn you extra
Speaker 1: caffeine coins. For each question you get correct in a row,
Speaker 1: you will earn an additional caffeine coin. So like, if
Speaker 1: you get one coin for the first question, then two
Speaker 1: for the next question, and then three for the third question.
Speaker 2: Wasn't there an episode kind of like this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we in a millionaires, but there's no streak. It's
Speaker 1: just you know, if you get on a hot streak,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a lot of caffeine coins.
Speaker 3: Then is there a bad part? Is there a crash
Speaker 3: for the caffeine in this In this.
Speaker 1: Case, I have not incorporated the caffeine.
Speaker 5: There are no downside, just like there are no downsides
Speaker 5: to drinking too much caffeine.
Speaker 1: We're also including a challenge question. So once per game,
Speaker 1: I will lie about the correct answer and you will
Speaker 1: have one shot to guess. If you incorrectly challenge, you
Speaker 1: will lose three caffeine coins, and if you challenge in
Speaker 1: the moment incorrectly, you'll only lose one. So I incorporated
Speaker 1: that because I like that mench because I like encouraging
Speaker 1: challenging in the moment. But if you correctly challenge the
Speaker 1: question I made up, you will earn three cafe pin
Speaker 1: fine coins and the coins you would have gotten for
Speaker 1: the question, and you have to challenge. So no matter
Speaker 1: what I'm making new challenge, you might as well challenge
Speaker 1: during the We're using the buzzer this game, so first
Speaker 1: person the buzz will be the first person to answer.
Speaker 1: No outside media or material to help you answer questions,
Speaker 1: I know, googling. Person to earn the most caffeine coins
Speaker 1: by the end of the game will get to have
Speaker 1: dinner with Howard Schultz, the former three time CEO and
Speaker 1: chairman of Starbucks and also former owner of Seattle SuperSonics.
Speaker 6: I don't know, I don't know if I want that.
Speaker 4: Would you rather have two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 4: or dinner?
Speaker 1: You want to have dinner?
Speaker 2: The money? Definitely the money.
Speaker 1: But you'll also win the trip.
Speaker 4: Think of how much priceless knowledge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll spend the whole the whole time talking about
Speaker 2: how poor I am and how.
Speaker 4: Did you invent coffee? That's amazing.
Speaker 1: He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame niche
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, along with Jay Z and other artists.
Speaker 1: You might earn his respect as well as Think about that.
Speaker 1: I guess that's to you.
Speaker 2: I'd we haven't even gotten a single question.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's not ask any further questions about the rules.
Speaker 1: Let's get right into this, and we're starting off with
Speaker 1: a bonus question.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all right.
Speaker 4: Why you Does this count towards the This does.
Speaker 1: Count towards the hype you can start building. Might as
Speaker 1: well be real, but it's not related to the first round,
Speaker 1: so bonus question. This is just generally about caffeine. Caffeine
Speaker 1: is a central nervous system stimulant and is the most
Speaker 1: commonly consumed psychoactive substance globally, with eugarogic, nootropic, and erganizing
Speaker 1: the properties properties. Caffeine naturally occurs as a true alkaloid,
Speaker 1: meaning it is produced by plants to discourage their consumption
Speaker 1: by herbivores and to encourage pollination from select animals such
Speaker 1: as honeybees. And humans are part of that list as well.
Speaker 1: Caffeine is not the only true alkaloid, which are the
Speaker 1: following chemicals? Is not a true alkaloid A capsaicin, B, morphine, C,
Speaker 1: nicotine or D cuianine? I got Cooper, I'll say nicotine.
Speaker 1: That is incorrect, mac.
Speaker 3: I will say cuianine. Whatever the last one we need?
Speaker 1: That is also incorrect. Which which one is not a
Speaker 1: true cal alkaloid? Is it capsaicin or morphine?
Speaker 2: Morphine?
Speaker 1: The correct answer is cap saicines and peppers. So for
Speaker 1: a chemical to be considered a true alkaloid, it needs
Speaker 1: to be naturally occurring organic compound containing nitrogen in like
Speaker 1: a ring. So come on, guys, I don't know why
Speaker 1: you didn't know that. Another thing is that they also
Speaker 1: uniformly taste very bitter, and I wouldn't really describe casteasin
Speaker 1: as bitter, but they serve a similar function.
Speaker 3: It's morphine better.
Speaker 1: Apparently morphine is bitter. They uniformally they serve a similar function,
Speaker 1: being that they discourage mammals and insects from consuming them,
Speaker 1: encouraging pollination or consumption from animals that can spread their offspring.
Speaker 1: And I guess humans are part of that list too.
Speaker 1: Now that you know what caffeine is, let's spend the
Speaker 1: rest of episode talking about how people like to drink it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: getting into round one. Round one coffee spelt backwards as epoch,
Speaker 1: which is funny. Have you guys seen that video? That's
Speaker 1: really bad? It's one of my It was one of
Speaker 1: my stems at one point. Did I be watching videos?
Speaker 1: Question one cushion tip? Have you guys seen this video? Dude?
Speaker 1: Coffee spelled back which is funny question One. Coffee has
Speaker 1: an academically disputed origin, but there is one popular legend
Speaker 1: on the discovery of coffee. How is coffee allegedly discovered?
Speaker 1: In ninth century Ethiopia? A a sultan witnessed birds of
Speaker 1: unusual vitality feeding on the berries. B A goat herder
Speaker 1: observed his flock consuming the berries and tried some himself.
Speaker 1: See one pilgrim on the journey to Mecca accidentally consumed
Speaker 1: the misidentified berries and was able to make the journey
Speaker 1: in record time. Or d Lightning struck a berry bush,
Speaker 1: which produced a pleasant fragrance, prompting a local farmer to try.
Speaker 4: It all bangers is all really good?
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mac. What do you think I'm going.
Speaker 3: To guess the journey to Mecca one? Because you said
Speaker 3: it's like a popular legend, so I feel like it's
Speaker 3: gonna be like Ethiopia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is incorrect.
Speaker 3: I made them one sad. That's a good one, Thank you, Mitch.
Speaker 2: What do you think you mentioned like a goat herder twice?
Speaker 2: What was the first mentioned of the goat farmer?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Did I first? One? Was a sultan witnessed birds of
Speaker 1: unusual vitality fleeting on his berries. The second one was
Speaker 1: a goat herder observed his flock consuming the berries. So
Speaker 1: I mentioned berries twice.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'd say that one the goat herder.
Speaker 1: And that would be correct. I you're starting your streak here.
Speaker 1: The story didn't appear until the sixteen hundreds, so it
Speaker 1: is likely apocryphal. But coffee did indeed originate in the
Speaker 1: Middle East, where it spreads to Europe and the rest
Speaker 1: of the world, doing it to conquest. Despite originating in
Speaker 1: the Middle East and having deep cultural significance, coffee was
Speaker 1: sometimes seen as haram due to its drug like properties,
Speaker 1: which is why tea is more popular in the Middle
Speaker 1: East today. And the Church of Latter day Saints would
Speaker 1: agree with them, and that is they all, yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get into that later question two. As I mentioned,
Speaker 1: coffee spread all throughout Europe in the sixteen hundreds, where
Speaker 1: it rapidly became popular, especially with the upper crust. Match
Speaker 1: the following countries to their contributions to coffee culture. So
Speaker 1: I have, yeah, I have four countries and then four
Speaker 1: innovations that they produced in Europe, So Serbia, Austria, Netherlands,
Speaker 1: in Italy, those are the four countries, okay, and the
Speaker 1: innovations are the first coffee house in Europe, the first
Speaker 1: cultivation of coffee beans in Europe, the popularization of adding
Speaker 1: milk and sugar to coffee, and the creation of steam
Speaker 1: driven pressure coffee maker.
Speaker 3: Oh man, sorry, what was it again?
Speaker 1: Serbia, Serbia, Austria, Netherlands, Italy.
Speaker 6: I think I got one for sure.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, because I feel like all of
Speaker 3: these countries have such a like specific kind of coffee
Speaker 3: or you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, they're they're all associated with coffee, but each
Speaker 1: of them have their own kind of innovation. I'm drinking
Speaker 1: my own coffee.
Speaker 3: I saw the rep You're themed very well this episode.
Speaker 1: I may or may not have multiple beverages lined up
Speaker 1: here for to drink.
Speaker 4: You're gonna be hype for sure. Oh man, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: build my own hype meter. Should I go make my
Speaker 4: own cup of tea? I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah you can if you want to, if we take.
Speaker 4: A break, Okay, I'm ready, Yeah, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go in alphabetical order. Cooper, what do you have?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: I think you're trying to be a little tricky. Sorry, Mitch,
Speaker 4: Steven's the tricky one. I think you put them in order. Oh,
Speaker 4: first coffee house, Austria, first cultivation, Netherlands adding milk and sugar,
Speaker 4: and Italy steam driven.
Speaker 1: Okay, Mac, what do you think I got?
Speaker 3: Serbia beans, Austria steam, Netherlands milk, Italy house.
Speaker 2: I was close to that. I said Serbia, cultivation, Austria,
Speaker 2: milk and sugar, Italy the first coffee house, and Netherlands
Speaker 2: steam coffee.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you had any of them the same.
Speaker 6: Mac and I both said Netherlands, right, Netherlands, Oh never mind,
Speaker 6: like Mac never mind?
Speaker 2: Okay, absolutely nothing like Mac.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll give that one. The Cooper I wasn't. Yeah, perfect,
Speaker 1: so uh. Serbia was the home of the first coffee house.
Speaker 1: Austria is where they popularized adding milk and sugar to coffee.
Speaker 1: Netherlands is where they actually first cultivated coffee. You know,
Speaker 1: they're pretty big on greenhouses over there, so they did
Speaker 1: that there.
Speaker 7: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: And then Italy was the creation of the pressure coffee maker.
Speaker 4: Oh so I got none of all three of them.
Speaker 4: Three of them. It's impossible to get three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, two of them? So nice work. Speaking of which,
Speaker 1: question three, I would play Sabrina Carpenter's espresso leading into
Speaker 1: this question if it didn't get me. Copyright struck Espresso
Speaker 1: is just highly concentrated coffee brewed under high pressure and heat,
Speaker 1: and literally translates in Italian to pressed out. Espresso is
Speaker 1: extremely Italian, and like many sacred Italian culinary arts, it
Speaker 1: is heavily regulated. The East to Tuto Espresso Italiano is
Speaker 1: the official body that determines if a borrow serves certified
Speaker 1: Italian espresso. Which of the following is not part of
Speaker 1: the standards for certified Italian espresso? Is it A? Each
Speaker 1: shot should use approximately seven grams of beans and should
Speaker 1: produce about twenty five to thirty millimeters of coffee.
Speaker 2: Is it B.
Speaker 1: The water pressure should be nine bar heated to eighty
Speaker 1: eight to ninety two degrees celsius. An extraction should take
Speaker 1: between twenty five to thirty seconds.
Speaker 2: Is it C.
Speaker 1: The body should be full bodied and intense, with hints
Speaker 1: of chocolate and caramel, while the crema should be thick, compact,
Speaker 1: and hazel nut colored or d The espresso cups should
Speaker 1: be thick, walled porcelain and preheated to sixty five to
Speaker 1: seven eight degrees celsius, Mitch.
Speaker 2: What was c again?
Speaker 1: The body should be full bodied, intense, with hints of
Speaker 1: chocolate and caramel, while the crama should be thick, compact
Speaker 1: and hazel nut colored.
Speaker 2: I mightst say that and you would be correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the flavor of the body, Okay, I made
Speaker 1: it a little too obvious.
Speaker 2: Then.
Speaker 1: The flavor of the body actually differs regionally. In northern
Speaker 1: Italy they prefer lighter, medium roasted coffee with thloral or
Speaker 1: spicy notes, while in Southern Italy they prefer the aforementioned
Speaker 1: full bodied, in intense as espresso, which is kind of
Speaker 1: influenced by the coffee they have in the UH in
Speaker 1: Middle East and Mediterranean. Mit hype, Oh you're hype.
Speaker 4: I'm already on my way back down.
Speaker 1: It's okay, one of these times, you guys are going
Speaker 1: to make it, take advantage of it. They're also strict
Speaker 1: social stigmas surrounding the consumption of espresso is drunk, standing
Speaker 1: at a bar and usually after meals. The price is
Speaker 1: also culturally set at one euro per cup, and exceeding
Speaker 1: it can get you in deep trouble with the locals.
Speaker 1: The way espresso bar stay afloat at one euro perc
Speaker 1: cup is basically by doing everything illegally and through collop
Speaker 1: corrupt supply chains, which is very Italian.
Speaker 6: So wow, that's it's kind of funny.
Speaker 2: It's similar to the in the fashion episode the ocatur
Speaker 2: question of as very like stringent requirements to be considered, like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: have you ever heard of hopefully? This is one of
Speaker 2: your questions, Steven. Have you ever heard of Brew Watches?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I haven't, Okay, So it's this micro brand, I think
Speaker 2: from New York City and they make I think automatic
Speaker 2: watches that have like a set timer on them of
Speaker 2: the perfect time to make an expresso. So it's like
Speaker 2: specifically for people who love expresso, because you know, there
Speaker 2: are some people out there who like love espresso machine,
Speaker 2: the huge expresses, and I think those watches are for
Speaker 2: I took a look at them, but I'm like, I
Speaker 2: don't drink enough espresso, nor do I even have an
Speaker 2: expresso machine to like care this much.
Speaker 4: You don't want to have a timer that's like perfectly
Speaker 4: right espresso shaped one.
Speaker 2: The one watch that I did think, Seiko made a
Speaker 2: metronome watch that I thought was pretty cool I've been
Speaker 2: on that one.
Speaker 4: Can you change the BPM?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Sick, that's cool. Well, hopping off a question three. Question
Speaker 1: four seeking to bring Italian coffee culture to America, Howard
Speaker 1: Schultz took over and aggressively expanded Starbucks in the late eighties.
Speaker 1: This is a laughable notion nowadays because of the culture
Speaker 1: that they actually pioneered, being morning milkshakes. Large American coffee
Speaker 1: chains such as Starbucks are primarily responsible for iced coffee
Speaker 1: taking off and becoming more popular than hot coffee around
Speaker 1: the world. But for many, coffee is just a vessel
Speaker 1: for the real vice, sugar and cream. And so out
Speaker 1: of the eight drinks, I will name two or fake,
Speaker 1: you get to choose two, and for each fake you guess,
Speaker 1: you'll get a caffeine coin. And if you get any,
Speaker 1: that'll keep your hype up.
Speaker 2: So oh okay, I'm the only well, I mean, people
Speaker 2: get their stars drinks.
Speaker 4: Starbucks does, except for the first one gets you hype
Speaker 4: for the second one.
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Uh you know what, if you
Speaker 1: get it, sure, I'll give it to That's impressive. It's
Speaker 1: very rare that people get too. So the options are
Speaker 1: dark barrel latte. They flavored to taste like guinness, b
Speaker 1: cookie dough, iced coffee, iced coffee with cookie dough syrup,
Speaker 1: and confusingly actual chunks of grainny cookie dough see fire
Speaker 1: cracker frappuccino recently added frozen drink dyed red, white and
Speaker 1: blue in case he thought they had any shame left.
Speaker 1: D Juniper latte, a seasonal item that tastes like a
Speaker 1: Christmas tree candle e cold brew lemonade half cold brew
Speaker 1: half lemonade like a coffee Arnold Palmers star strawberry funnel
Speaker 1: cake frappuccino. A frappuccino that tasted like a friended nutri
Speaker 1: grain before gee, which is brew crim frappuccino, A seasonal item.
Speaker 1: A purple prappuccino with orange flavored cream and green chia seeds,
Speaker 1: green geia seeds, creation salted honey comb, cold foam cold
Speaker 1: brew flavored with non fat cold foam honey and way
Speaker 1: too much salt.
Speaker 3: Oh Man, Which, dude.
Speaker 1: Did I make up or pull from a different through
Speaker 1: them again to make sure I have them?
Speaker 4: Dark barrel latte, cookie dough, iced coffee, firecracker frappuccino Juniper Latt,
Speaker 4: cold brew lemonade, strawberry funnel cake prappuccino, Witches brew crem
Speaker 4: fat frappuccino, and salted honey cold foam.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's all of them. Okay, which two are the
Speaker 1: most like? Not Starbucks?
Speaker 4: I am not if you made up the cold brew lemonade.
Speaker 4: I am not letting you get away with that.
Speaker 2: Saying that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Mac, did you work at Starbucks? Is that what
Speaker 1: you said?
Speaker 3: I worked at Barnes and Noble that had a Starbucks.
Speaker 3: So I made I think I made the witches one,
Speaker 3: and I think I know for almost one hundred percent
Speaker 3: certain I made the funnel like strawberry shortcake cream one.
Speaker 1: Well, you're narrowing it down for everyone here, so I am, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess I should have cut that.
Speaker 3: That's fine, that's cool though.
Speaker 1: I asked the questions, so you answer.
Speaker 3: I have my guests. I have ready. Okay, I think
Speaker 3: it's A and I think it's d I think it's
Speaker 3: I don't think they have a Guinness one.
Speaker 1: I feel like Dennis flavored one.
Speaker 3: No, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be crazy, Juniper.
Speaker 2: That would be greaty crazy.
Speaker 6: That makes me think it's real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said Juniper latte for his other one.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the guinness one and the cold brew lemonade.
Speaker 1: Okay, you can't let me get away with the cold
Speaker 1: brew lemonade.
Speaker 2: I agree. The cold brew lemonade just sounds disgusting, like
Speaker 2: why would they heard of it?
Speaker 4: I feel you've heard of you've heard of me.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I say that one.
Speaker 1: I know in Italy they do put lemon in their coffee.
Speaker 1: Sometimes Italians love putting lemon in things that don't need lemon.
Speaker 4: Lemonade.
Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna say the cookie dough drink sounds
Speaker 2: really weird. I'm gonna say the cookie one.
Speaker 1: Okay, Mitch, you get one caffeine point. No one else gets.
Speaker 6: Any made up The cookie dough is made up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cookie dough is made up.
Speaker 6: Wait, the cold brew lemonade is.
Speaker 1: That's a real thing that they do real?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's nasty.
Speaker 3: Wait, be Guinness is real and this is real. The
Speaker 3: candle one is real, Chris.
Speaker 1: The other fake one is fire cracker frappuccino. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: made that one up.
Speaker 3: Not patriotic at all.
Speaker 4: I forgot starter Bucks hates America exactly.
Speaker 1: And then the cookie do iced coffee. I pulled that
Speaker 1: from the dunkin Donuts menu because they like to do
Speaker 1: the more blatantly like sugary items. I used to work
Speaker 1: at dunkin Donuts and there are some nasty menu items.
Speaker 2: This is hand what what question number is this?
Speaker 1: This is question for So you got the last question right,
Speaker 1: so you just built type. You got an additional point.
Speaker 2: Lemon what was it cold lemonade?
Speaker 1: Okay, you think it could be the challenge?
Speaker 4: Don't write it down for later, do it now?
Speaker 6: I only lose one point three points. You all have
Speaker 6: like one right, you could only.
Speaker 1: Lose one point for challenging if you.
Speaker 4: You think colder leiminade is real, It's not that sounds
Speaker 4: Why would they do that?
Speaker 3: Have water in their front?
Speaker 2: You know what? I'm ahead, I'm ahead. This seem this
Speaker 2: seems suspect. So I'm and I only lose one if
Speaker 2: I get it wrong, right, yep, yep, I'm a challenge.
Speaker 1: Okay, drum roll please, Mitch, this was not the challenge.
Speaker 1: I list the list. I looked at the lists online
Speaker 1: where it's like, what are the worst Starbucks strengths You've
Speaker 1: ever had to make? And that was on there.
Speaker 2: Do I lose my hype at least?
Speaker 1: Uh? No, you could keep your hype. You didn't get
Speaker 1: that question right.
Speaker 4: Lemonade, hold the coffee, that's lemonade.
Speaker 6: Lemon Yeah, lemonade refresher. That's all I get from Starbucks,
Speaker 6: to be honest.
Speaker 1: Question five transitioning Does that kill ye?
Speaker 2: He said?
Speaker 1: Is he the question?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: He just you know, thought you a challenge. So transitioning
Speaker 1: into round two. East Asia is the birthplace of tea
Speaker 1: in the same way that Middle East is the birthplace
Speaker 1: of coffee, and tea is still popular in East Asia.
Speaker 1: But like how tea has become more popular in much
Speaker 1: of the Middle East, coffee has become much more popular
Speaker 1: in parts of East Asia. I said East Asia a lot.
Speaker 1: Despite having a tea tradition over one thousand years old.
Speaker 1: Japan is the third largest coffee market in the world.
Speaker 1: How did coffee take over Japan? Is it a? It
Speaker 1: was introduced by Americans during their occupation following World War Two,
Speaker 1: which gave it a Western connotation, causing it to be
Speaker 1: seen as a luxury during the Showa area. Right, I'm sorry, Mitch,
Speaker 1: that's incorrect. Yes, b Brazil has a massive Japanese diaspora
Speaker 1: and Japanese Brazilians brought the product and culture back to
Speaker 1: the homeland following World War Two. See Nessel ran a
Speaker 1: gorilla campaign by introducing coffee flavored candy such as kit
Speaker 1: kats to develop a childhood love of coffee in the seventies,
Speaker 1: which they used to sell instant coffee in the eighties
Speaker 1: and develop the phenomenon. D was introduced by Dutch traders
Speaker 1: in the sixteenth and seventeenth century as a health product,
Speaker 1: which slowly developed its own unique culture in the following centuries.
Speaker 1: Which one is real, Cooper.
Speaker 4: I'll say the Dutch one, because I know the Dutch
Speaker 4: had a whole thing with Japan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good guess. But that's incorrect. Yeah, dang, Mac,
Speaker 1: What do you think Is it the Brazilian diaspora or
Speaker 1: is it the nessl gorilla campaign.
Speaker 3: I think it's the Nestley gorilla campaign.
Speaker 1: And that would be correct.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is so, I got one. That's dude, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: What actually happened is Nestley reached out to a French
Speaker 1: psychologist as to why coffee wasn't popular with the Japanese
Speaker 1: and he basically said, well, they don't really have any
Speaker 1: preconceived emotional attachment or connection to it. So they played
Speaker 1: the long game by marketing a bunch of coffee flavored candies,
Speaker 1: including the newly designed coffee Kitcat, which is actually what
Speaker 1: sparked Japan's love of kit cats. If you know a
Speaker 1: lot about.
Speaker 6: Japan, I do they have a lot of kit cats.
Speaker 2: They have like.
Speaker 1: Crazy like KitKat culture. They have like KitKat bars and stuff.
Speaker 1: They did this in the sixties, and by the mid
Speaker 1: seventies when Nesli tried again, the coffee exploded and to
Speaker 1: this day, Ness Cafe instant coffee dominates about seventy percent
Speaker 1: of the market share for instant coffee in Japan. Coffee
Speaker 1: is also extremely popular in South Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, congrats Mac, you got a caffeine coin. Look,
Speaker 1: so before we get into round two, let's do a
Speaker 1: quick check. How many caffeine coins do you own?
Speaker 4: I am the proud owner of a single caffeine coin.
Speaker 1: Okay, big one one.
Speaker 2: I lost one, but that's okay, I've got three caffeine points.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, you were pretty dominant in that round.
Speaker 1: But let's see if your knowledge of cat fiend carries
Speaker 1: over into the next round. But first let me ask
Speaker 1: how do you like your coffee? What's your favorite coffee? Like,
Speaker 1: how do you like consuming coffee?
Speaker 4: I don't. I drink tea like a true British person.
Speaker 3: I'm big, big guy British person.
Speaker 1: True brit Okay, Mitch, do you like coffee?
Speaker 2: I really drink coffee out of like necessity more than anything. Well,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't love coffee. I drink it because
Speaker 2: I'm really tired, okay, and I need to wake up,
Speaker 2: So I admit I drink it with copious amounts of
Speaker 2: sugar and cream.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's okay, that's okay. I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I do like doing that. I like cold brew. I
Speaker 1: like a good latte every once in a while, but
Speaker 1: like a good fresh pot of coffee, like just with
Speaker 1: like you know, some half and half. Nothing else that
Speaker 1: can't be beat. It's hard to beat.
Speaker 2: One thing that I have not been able to get
Speaker 2: with is the cold foam. I cannot stand the cold pham.
Speaker 2: Not really not for me.
Speaker 4: I'll get frappuccinos, but get them cream based because I
Speaker 4: don't drink coffee.
Speaker 3: Oh, you don't like the taste. It's just that's just
Speaker 3: milkah for me.
Speaker 1: You know, I only developed like an appreciation for coffee
Speaker 1: after I worked at Dunkin Donuts, because I used to
Speaker 1: work there and then, you know, part of the perk
Speaker 1: is that you get free drinks and for you like
Speaker 1: donuts and whatever. So I would just experiment, and then
Speaker 1: I slowly kind of developed, like, Okay, I like the
Speaker 1: taste of this until I could drink more and more.
Speaker 1: Now I don't even like dunkin Donuts coffee that much,
Speaker 1: but I definitely got me into it. Cold brew combined
Speaker 1: with lemonade, Oh god, try, I still don't think that
Speaker 1: sounds goods around two. Something that's a little more up
Speaker 1: your guys's alley from the sounds of it. Plenty tent
Speaker 1: of fish in the tea Question six, keeping perfectly in
Speaker 1: line with round two, Let's talk about the Boston Tea Party.
Speaker 1: It was an act of protest in seventeen seventy three
Speaker 1: in response to the Tea Act, organized by the Sons
Speaker 1: of Liberty. They dressed as Native Americans and rated the
Speaker 1: dart Mouth, throwing three hundred and forty two chests of
Speaker 1: tea into the Boston Harbor. And the aftermath of the
Speaker 1: Boston Tea Party. Drinking tea was seen as an unpatriotic
Speaker 1: and drinking coffee was seen as patriotic, which is why
Speaker 1: to this day Americans prefer coffee. What you may not
Speaker 1: know is that there was a second, lesser known, Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Tea Party that took place nine days later on Christmas
Speaker 1: of seventeen seventy three. What act of protest did the
Speaker 1: Sons of Liberty do at the Philadelphia Tea Party? Was
Speaker 1: it a? They stole six hundred and twenty nine chests
Speaker 1: of tea overnight from the poly b They tarred and
Speaker 1: feathered Captain Arey's as a ship landed. See, they prevented
Speaker 1: Captain Aries from docking and made him sail back to
Speaker 1: England or d They did the same thing as the
Speaker 1: Boston Tea Party and just threw all of the tea
Speaker 1: overboard into the Delaware Bay. Mac, what do you think.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of tarring and feathering. I think
Speaker 3: that they did that, big fan.
Speaker 1: Big well, Mac, they did not stoop that.
Speaker 3: No, I think that outside the box.
Speaker 1: Mitch, what do you think?
Speaker 2: Can you repeat the one where they you just said
Speaker 2: that they turned them back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they prevented Captain Aries from docking and made him
Speaker 1: sail back to England.
Speaker 2: Did they like die because they wouldn't have had provisions
Speaker 2: or anything?
Speaker 6: Right, I think I think they were okay back then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they figure it out.
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. I guess I don't know that much
Speaker 2: about crossing the Atlantic. I'll go with I'll go with that.
Speaker 2: I could see them being like, no, like, you're not
Speaker 2: welcome here, Go go back to you came from.
Speaker 6: That's very American, that's very American.
Speaker 1: Well, that would be correct. They made him sail back
Speaker 1: to England. So they threatened him with tarring and feathering
Speaker 1: if he were to try and unload the British Tea.
Speaker 1: So that's where it actually comes in. They threatened him. Uh,
Speaker 1: so he ultimately agreed to turn the ship around. Philadelphia
Speaker 1: was heavily influenced by the Quakers, which is probably why
Speaker 1: the event was comparatively non violent, I mean threatening.
Speaker 2: Did the Boston Tea party did they kill anybody?
Speaker 1: I mean they threw some people overboard and they threatened
Speaker 1: them with axis. Yeah, Like there were people on the
Speaker 1: ship and they threw them all over the board and
Speaker 1: then threw all their tea off.
Speaker 2: And and yeah, I mean, you know, no one died,
Speaker 2: but people were injured for sure.
Speaker 1: Question seven, So, good job, Mack, you get to kafey
Speaker 1: me me me, Oh, good job, Mitch, you don't get
Speaker 1: to Cafe died.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is round two too, maybe.
Speaker 4: A round two the hype streak begins.
Speaker 2: But streak it begins with two.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, everyone gets two points for questions around two.
Speaker 6: No, but the hype the hype streak does not begin
Speaker 6: with two.
Speaker 1: Not to to too right, Yeah, it's two, and then
Speaker 1: the next question, if you get it right, you'll get three.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize I made such a confusing It begins
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, too, and then you square root
Speaker 1: Question seven. Americans do still drink tea, but kind of
Speaker 1: in their own way. About eighty percent of the tea
Speaker 1: Americans consume is iced sweet tea is a uniquely Southern tradition.
Speaker 1: My personal favorite way to drink iced tea is Arnold
Speaker 1: Palmer naming, named after the drink the legendary golfer always
Speaker 1: ordered when he was golfing. What was Arnold Palmer's preferred
Speaker 1: ratio of lemonade to tea?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I was gonna do multiple, but clo I'll
Speaker 1: do closest. What was his preferred ratio?
Speaker 4: His preferred ratio?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I could be different, Cooper, what's your guest?
Speaker 4: I am familiar with the official Arnold Palmer drinking half
Speaker 4: and half. However, Arnold Palmer, I think, how did he
Speaker 4: like it? He probably was higher on the ic tea side,
Speaker 4: So I would say a little bit of a let's
Speaker 4: do sixty five thirty five?
Speaker 1: Okay, so like sixty five percent sweet iced tea.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know what measurement, very technical ratio.
Speaker 4: I don't know what kind of measurement he could be
Speaker 4: doing to make it that.
Speaker 1: No, that's fair. You could do like two thirds or something. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I was close. It's close to two yeah, yeah, Mac,
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess? Seventy five percent iced tea, twenty five
Speaker 3: percent lemonade lemonade, three parts okay, and then one part
Speaker 3: Yeah there we go? Sure, sure, okay, a full drink
Speaker 3: right there?
Speaker 2: Do you think before I tell you, I'll tell you
Speaker 2: how I like it, which is just a little tiny
Speaker 2: splash of tea and the wrestle probably like iced t
Speaker 2: is how I do it. But I think I might
Speaker 2: have benefited. I just saw TikTok. I think it was
Speaker 2: like an espn ad of like Arnold Palmer like came
Speaker 2: up to an uh a lemonade in an iced tea
Speaker 2: like container, and he like got himself to Arnold Palmer,
Speaker 2: and then two guys were like, man, that was awesome,
Speaker 2: and that was like I guess the espn ad.
Speaker 6: But I think that he did it fifty to fifty.
Speaker 6: I don't say fifty, is it official?
Speaker 1: Fifty? So the correct answer is one third lemonade, two
Speaker 1: third on sweet iced tea. So I'll give it to
Speaker 1: both Cooper and Mac because he preferred anywhere from sixty
Speaker 1: like one third to seventy five percent iced tea in
Speaker 1: islamits well two thirds iced tea too, Uh what three
Speaker 1: quarters iced tea in Islamity?
Speaker 4: Sixty five thirty five is quite a bit closer to.
Speaker 1: Well, No, I would have accepted anywhere between, you know,
Speaker 1: two thirds iced tea and three fourths iced tea. So
Speaker 1: Mac got the higher under at the lower and yeah,
Speaker 1: so you guys are both in that range, So I'll
Speaker 1: give you both.
Speaker 4: Yeah, as long as we stop Mitch's streak.
Speaker 2: You just did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got one there, bro really said iced tea.
Speaker 2: That's how I did.
Speaker 1: But Mitch's credit. Most of the time, if you ask
Speaker 1: for an Arnold Palmer, they'll give you a fifty to fifty.
Speaker 4: Well that's the that's like what Yeah.
Speaker 2: This ad, this this ad that I saw, because I
Speaker 2: could have sworn he did fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well maybe that's just for the ad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was funny he sell their product. He went
Speaker 2: from one and then stopped it once to the other.
Speaker 2: He went back and forth between the two. So that's
Speaker 2: why I thought it was fifty to fifty.
Speaker 4: Make sure it was fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of folklore around the creation at
Speaker 1: the drink, but it all conflicts, and Arnold Palmer himself
Speaker 1: was embarrassed by the name for the concoction. Really long
Speaker 1: after the established name of the drink was Arnold Palmer,
Speaker 1: he refused to call it that, basically explaining what the
Speaker 1: drink was to his server every time he ordered it.
Speaker 1: He's like, so, I want you to make two thirds
Speaker 1: on sweet iced tea and then I have one third lemonade,
Speaker 1: right like a Palmer No, no, no, that's like every
Speaker 1: interaction would go down and like he was always asking
Speaker 1: for this drink. So he did this like multiple times
Speaker 1: a day.
Speaker 2: That's for mine. That's how I asked for my preferred cocktail.
Speaker 2: I don't think it has a name, so I just
Speaker 2: asked for what I want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, only started calling it an Arnold Palmer much
Speaker 1: later in life when the battle was long.
Speaker 2: Uh No, it's uh, it's like two shots of oh god,
Speaker 2: drink of choice.
Speaker 1: You get you're on their own concoction. Okay, I'm sure
Speaker 1: your cocktail recipe here.
Speaker 2: Okay, what uh? Why can't I remember the name of
Speaker 2: the almond liqueur It's motto thank you. No, it's not yep.
Speaker 2: So it's like two shots of amoretto the rest of pineapple,
Speaker 2: and then a little tiny little bit of why am
Speaker 2: I blanking on the damn name? I ca and think
Speaker 2: I need my caffeine.
Speaker 1: I can't curse how bitters.
Speaker 2: No, No, it's vodka like what you put in Shirley Temples.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, sprite grenadine.
Speaker 6: Grenadine though, Justine.
Speaker 3: Dude, I love ameretto. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I give it a try, give it t Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also a fun fact about American iced tea. Prior to
Speaker 1: World War Two, the US drank about forty percent black tea,
Speaker 1: forty percent green tea, and almost twenty percent Ooh Long tea.
Speaker 1: But during World War Two, access to green tea, which
Speaker 1: was almost entirely from China, was cut off, so Americans
Speaker 1: switched to black tea from British India instead, and nowadays
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of the tea Americans drink is black tea,
Speaker 1: to the point where if you just asked for tea,
Speaker 1: they assume you're talking about black tea. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting that the majority of American like
Speaker 1: iced tea was green tea.
Speaker 2: Well. But it's interesting though, because like green tea and
Speaker 2: black tea are basically the same. They're just like prepared
Speaker 2: in different ways, but they're made up.
Speaker 1: I mean there, Yeah, the plant is like similar, but
Speaker 1: like the flavor is definitely very different.
Speaker 2: No for sure for sure, but I mean like you
Speaker 2: could take like a tea leaf and you could make
Speaker 2: it both into black tea or green either.
Speaker 6: Interesting, it just depends on how.
Speaker 2: You make it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Doolung tea is similar process question eight. Britain
Speaker 1: has its own rich tea culture with much of it
Speaker 1: developing in the early Victorian era in eighteen forty. This
Speaker 1: era introduced a lot of t etiquette as well as
Speaker 1: multiple dedicated tea times, and like much of British culture,
Speaker 1: there's a stark class divide. High T sort of counterintuitively
Speaker 1: is associated with the lower class working people, while afternoon
Speaker 1: tea is associated with the upper crust. During which time
Speaker 1: of day is afternoon tea typically held? This multiple choice?
Speaker 1: Is it A eleven thirty to one thirty pm, B
Speaker 1: one thirty pm to three thirty pm, C three thirty
Speaker 1: pm to five thirty pm, D five thirty pm to
Speaker 1: seven thirty pm, E seven thirty pm to nine thirty pm.
Speaker 1: Holy yeah, nine thirty pm to eleven thirty pm. Or
Speaker 1: G eleven thirty pm to one thirty am.
Speaker 4: There's no way, Oh my goodness, afternoon t starts at
Speaker 4: nine thirty.
Speaker 2: This might be. This might be my own biases. And
Speaker 2: I don't know if any of you agree with me.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, evening starts at five pm. Evening, no
Speaker 2: matter what, even starts at five. So that's why I'm shocked.
Speaker 2: This is my own bias. That's my opinion. I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I think you said five, cancel me all you want?
Speaker 2: You want? This is hot take.
Speaker 1: You're all thirty three thirty to five, three thirty five.
Speaker 2: I think I think it's as soon as you hit
Speaker 2: at Definitely five thirty.
Speaker 6: It's evening. You would call evening tea.
Speaker 1: Okay, So three thirty five thirty is your answer. Okay,
Speaker 1: and that is correct. Yeah, man, you had it dead on.
Speaker 1: So yeah, as the name suggests, it's after noon. So
Speaker 1: historians believe that the emergence of tea culture actually helped
Speaker 1: fuel the Industrial Revolution, as the short and caffeine helped
Speaker 1: people work longer days. It also helped eliminate some of
Speaker 1: the consequences of urbanization, as the boiling of water for
Speaker 1: tea killed common water borne diseases like cholera, dysentery, and typhoid.
Speaker 3: So pretty interesting.
Speaker 4: All about getting the workers to work longer hours.
Speaker 1: That's all I can ask.
Speaker 2: Cant can I give a little fun fact This is
Speaker 2: not necessarily directly about tea, but you reminded me of it.
Speaker 1: No, go ahead.
Speaker 2: I remember like the very first like ice cream carts
Speaker 2: that they had in New York City. I think they
Speaker 2: called it like lickpenny or something, because what you would
Speaker 2: do is you'd go up, you would they would have
Speaker 2: like a little glass dish. They would put the ice
Speaker 2: cream in it, and then you would eat it and
Speaker 2: you would lick it clean. You would hand it to
Speaker 2: them and they would wash it in dirty water and
Speaker 2: then give it to the next person. And so it
Speaker 2: was so like I learned this very recently, Like that's
Speaker 2: how they served ice cream before, like the ice cream
Speaker 2: cone was invented. Oh, and it was like disgusting. It
Speaker 2: was terrible, Like everyone got.
Speaker 4: Se because you licked it clean. You would get a penny.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it was. It might not be
Speaker 2: it was licked something. I think it was what it
Speaker 2: was called.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was for a penny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you could get the the but it was
Speaker 2: called a lick something. It's because you licked it clean
Speaker 2: and then gave it back and they did not watch it.
Speaker 2: They just put it in dirty water.
Speaker 1: That's that's nasty. Let's get into question question nine. There
Speaker 1: are many ways to enjoy tea from all around the world,
Speaker 1: and in the interest of keeping this episode under two hours,
Speaker 1: we're going to do a speed round question. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to name a t and the first person to
Speaker 1: shout out the country of origin for that one sugar cue.
Speaker 1: For example, if I say Celan tea, you say no,
Speaker 1: it's Sri Lanka.
Speaker 2: Wow, A good start.
Speaker 3: Why didn't you figure the easy one for the first one.
Speaker 1: We're not up to get start. Whoever has the most
Speaker 1: sugar cubes by the end or not two, but four
Speaker 1: caffeine coins? Pretty okay, So we're gonna go through them
Speaker 1: all to keep track of your sugar cubes. Whoever has
Speaker 1: the most by the end, we'll earn four. Are you ready?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right? Macha India, Japan, Nope, yep, you got it.
Speaker 1: It's a Japan and China. Actually, so is invented in
Speaker 1: one thy one during a period of cultural exchange between
Speaker 1: the two countries, though most people associate with Japan. Now,
Speaker 1: all right, next one, kombucha.
Speaker 3: India, Thailand, Vietnam.
Speaker 1: You guys are all warm. I think I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: hot for some of these.
Speaker 5: Nope, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Yep, it's China.
Speaker 6: Are the answers all, China?
Speaker 1: What kind of tea is this? This is it's fermented
Speaker 1: sweet and tea and typically it contains a small amount
Speaker 1: of alcohol.
Speaker 2: Okay, you should watch that, you guys.
Speaker 1: I don't have to do it.
Speaker 4: I didn't know technically tea.
Speaker 2: What is this?
Speaker 1: It's just fermented to I didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that was from anything, so I thought
Speaker 4: it even just that's good. You'll come Keefer keeper. Isn't
Speaker 4: that Middle Eastern?
Speaker 1: Keifer Iram it's spelt c h I f I R.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've heard of Keifer again, I didn't know that
Speaker 4: was a tea, not Middle Eastern.
Speaker 1: I'll say it's close to Kazakhstan. It's close to China. Russia, Yep,
Speaker 1: it's Russia, job Cooper. So what kind of tea is this?
Speaker 1: This is tea and it's mostly where prisoners would grow
Speaker 1: blue directly in the cup of boiling water for a
Speaker 1: long time, which gives it drug like properties. If you
Speaker 1: drink it too quickly and it will make you throw
Speaker 1: up almost consuming too much, well, screw up your teeth
Speaker 1: and it's drug like effects. Okay, I'm gonna stop doing that.
Speaker 2: Vodja Russia sounds like Russia.
Speaker 4: No way spell it is.
Speaker 3: That called b O d j Adian.
Speaker 1: It's close to India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nope, Nope, Bangladesh.
Speaker 4: It's close Indonesia, China.
Speaker 1: Close, you guys are in the areas. Nope, too far east,
Speaker 1: too far east country?
Speaker 5: Is it like inland or is it that's too far
Speaker 5: west west? Now it's inland Inland. It's kind of close.
Speaker 1: Close Damn.
Speaker 6: I was going to say Tibet.
Speaker 1: Yep, Yeah, Tibbet, Bhutan, and Nepole. I would have taken
Speaker 1: so bar translates to Tibetan and jaw translates to tea.
Speaker 1: It's traditionally combined with Yax's milk, butter, and salt. I'm
Speaker 1: of some of the long tea. Yep, I'll give you
Speaker 1: all imediately. So it's green tea leaves that are tempered,
Speaker 1: bruised and brown through repetitive and complex process, which is
Speaker 1: more complex than green tea. Bubble Tea.
Speaker 3: Korea, yep, it's me you.
Speaker 2: Got with milk and restaurant.
Speaker 4: Different from boba.
Speaker 1: I think they're pretty much used intertraineably. I think boba
Speaker 1: specifically refers to uh, like the boba like pearls and stuff,
Speaker 1: but bubble tea is just kind of in general. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. It's the Starbucks version of the morning milkshake.
Speaker 1: I would say, Okay, how about Koshari tea India. No,
Speaker 1: it's more westward again westward koshariy k O Turkey s
Speaker 1: h a r y. It's close to Turkey, well closer

Speaker 7: Of the world.
Speaker 4: Who is it, South America yep.
Speaker 1: Somewhere there, Brazil, Yep. I'd give it to you. There
Speaker 1: you go, cooper, prepared with your beliefs and traditionally inside
Speaker 1: a gourd, which translates to mate in Spanish. It's pre
Speaker 1: Columbian coming from the Guarani people. How about Billy t.
Speaker 7: America, Billy America, I'm on the American teas, Canada, Australia.
Speaker 1: Yep, it's Australia.
Speaker 4: Billy of course it's Australia.
Speaker 1: It's named after the Billy Cans, the Australian settlers boiled water,
Speaker 1: and billy t is loosely black tea boiled with eucalyptus
Speaker 1: leaves in the pot for flavoring.
Speaker 2: How about Yong China, Sorry, Japan, it's.
Speaker 1: Close close associated, associated very heavily with Yep. It's Hong Kong.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there you go. Also known as coffee tea,
Speaker 1: This originated in the fifties as a kind of street food.
Speaker 1: It's about three parts black coffee and seven parts Hong
Speaker 1: Kong style milk tea. And the name refers to Mandarin ducks,
Speaker 1: who appear in male and female pairs and look completely
Speaker 1: different from each other, so it's like an unlikely pair.
Speaker 1: How about Sensha, I've heard of that before.
Speaker 3: S E. N C.

Speaker 1: Yep, it's Japan. It's the most popular tea in Japan's
Speaker 1: similar to macha. It's brewed with whole, steamed and rolled
Speaker 1: green tea leaves. All right, and that's it. So how
Speaker 1: many sugar cubes did you guys keep trace? Go ahead?
Speaker 1: Did you guys keep track?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: I had six.
Speaker 1: Mitch Well Street five. Wowez itch is pulling ahead with this.
Speaker 2: I like cafe. I warned you ahead of time. He
Speaker 2: likes his.
Speaker 1: He knows this stuff all right. Question ten. It wouldn't
Speaker 1: be right for me to do a round about tea
Speaker 1: and not ask a question about China its birthplace. Some
Speaker 1: archaeological finds suggest that tea has been cultivated in China
Speaker 1: since four thousand BC. As such, there is much folklore
Speaker 1: around tea. According to Chinese legend, Emperor Shennong was born
Speaker 1: nine days after his mother swallowed the vapor of a
Speaker 1: dragon on the banks of the River Jiang. He looked
Speaker 1: like a minotaur, being over eight feet tall and having
Speaker 1: the head of a bowl. He then obtained a mystical
Speaker 1: book of herbs from a Taoist master and traveled the
Speaker 1: lands to consume and research every herb. One such herb
Speaker 1: was the tea leaf. While boiling water in his garden,
Speaker 1: a tea leaf fell from a nearby tree into the pot.
Speaker 1: The emperor enjoyed the infused water so much that he
Speaker 1: was compelled to research it further and discovered its medicinal
Speaker 1: properties during this period, and the rest is history. It
Speaker 1: may not surprise you, but according to legend, he also
Speaker 1: discovered many other things. We're doing another classic naming eight
Speaker 1: things two or fake? Which of the following things are
Speaker 1: not often cited as things he discovered slash invented? According
Speaker 1: to Chinese? Oh boy, so two of these are not
Speaker 1: attributed to Emperor Shanong so A the Chinese calendar, B boats, wow,
Speaker 1: c acupuncture, d money, e, the use of cannabis, f axes,
Speaker 1: G digging wells or h Sarah culture a ga A
Speaker 1: silkworm farming.
Speaker 3: Oh damn, this is wow.
Speaker 2: So this is what he claimed to have discovered, not
Speaker 2: what he actually.
Speaker 1: Attributed to him. Yeah, two of these things are not
Speaker 1: things attributed to him. He hasn't claimed this because he's
Speaker 1: not like a real.
Speaker 2: Style.
Speaker 1: He may be based off of a real person partially,
Speaker 1: but there wasn't actually a minotaur discovery.
Speaker 3: You're telling me that she did not really actually breathing
Speaker 3: a spirit of a dragon.
Speaker 6: Axes is such a tough one.
Speaker 4: Axesxes I have my answers.
Speaker 2: I feel.
Speaker 6: This is just like I have my two gases like Paul.
Speaker 3: I'm ready. This is just like Paul. We attribute stuff
Speaker 3: about if Paul were a minute are.
Speaker 1: He's he's got his blue Okay, Cooper, what do you
Speaker 1: think I have?
Speaker 4: Down axes and wells?
Speaker 1: Okay, Mac, what do you have?
Speaker 2: D and E?
Speaker 5: One of them is marijuana money in cannabis money and
Speaker 5: marine marijuana.
Speaker 1: Oh you don't think he's that?
Speaker 4: Did I did?
Speaker 6: I also had cannabis.
Speaker 2: But I said boats boats in canadis okay?
Speaker 1: Well, once again, Mitch is the only one who got
Speaker 1: the boats. And Sarah culture a k a silkword informent.
Speaker 3: To throw you guys off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh you said.
Speaker 3: It was actually silkwere in farming.
Speaker 1: So those are actually typically attributed to the Yellow Emperor,
Speaker 1: who's another like legendary like Chinese inventor who came before him.
Speaker 1: Sheong died after consuming a poisonous herb during one of
Speaker 1: his journeys. Today he's held as a cultural hero and
Speaker 1: it is sort of their patron sat farmers and traditional
Speaker 1: Chinese medicine. So that's kind of how he plays in there,
Speaker 1: all right. So that's a round two, how many caffeine
Speaker 1: coins do you own?
Speaker 6: Insane?
Speaker 4: He's gonna say an insane number. I have three?
Speaker 1: I have three, Mitch, how many do you have?
Speaker 2: Sixteen?
Speaker 3: Whoa, my lord? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: You know with the streak mechanic though.
Speaker 6: It's round three, That's what it comes down to.
Speaker 4: How many did you get from that last question I got?
Speaker 2: Did you give you.
Speaker 1: If this is the third question, If this is the
Speaker 1: third question you got right in a row, it would
Speaker 1: be two questions plus. So for the second question you
Speaker 1: got right in a row, you get one point one
Speaker 1: additional point. For the second or a third question you
Speaker 1: got right in a row, you get two editions. Should
Speaker 1: have gotten four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I did.
Speaker 1: So you got fifteen?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I think I have sixteen. What I'm saying
Speaker 2: is I think I did the math.
Speaker 1: Fifteen, but you just missed. Okay, okay, you've been doing
Speaker 1: I just remember. Okay, that's fair. And now another question
Speaker 1: before we get into round three. How do you like
Speaker 1: your tea?
Speaker 2: I've had Machia before. I like Macia tea. I like
Speaker 2: it like a lot sweeter than like you typically get.
Speaker 3: So wow, look at that.
Speaker 1: Wow, there you go.
Speaker 2: I really don't otherwise I do really like, Shoot.
Speaker 4: What tea is it? That's saying a London fog. It
Speaker 4: starts with an earl gray, earl gray.
Speaker 1: That's good. I like the sale on tea, which is
Speaker 1: why I used to as the example I do I
Speaker 1: have had. Yeah, yeah, it's it's from Lanka. That's the
Speaker 1: old name for Sri Lanka by the way, that's what
Speaker 1: they used to call it back in Ceylon. But uh,
Speaker 1: I like Yenyong quite a bit. And whenever I'm in
Speaker 1: a gas station, I will get Arnold Palmer's because I
Speaker 1: love arn Palmer's.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I do love a good Arnold Arnie palm that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's refreshing, especially hot.
Speaker 2: So I would probably say that I drink more tea
Speaker 2: and arm Palmers than I do like regular tea, because
Speaker 2: the only other time that I will ever drink tea
Speaker 2: is if my sore or if my throat is sore
Speaker 2: and I'm drinking like a like lemon and honey or
Speaker 2: ginger tea something like that, right, that's fair.
Speaker 1: I've only recently started really getting into tea, like in
Speaker 1: the last year or so. I started like drinking like
Speaker 1: other teas and really developed and appreciation. I would say
Speaker 1: both coffee and tea are like a choir taste, so
Speaker 1: you know, you may not like it the first couple
Speaker 1: of times you drink it because they're they're bitter, you know.
Speaker 1: I think it's I like coffee and tea quite a bit.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 1: Round three carbonated caffeinated.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 1: So that's what we're going on the clever name for
Speaker 1: all of the drink question eleven. Why did people start
Speaker 1: carbonating water? There are naturally carbonated springs, and in olden
Speaker 1: times people would pay good money for their waters, both
Speaker 1: due to their scarcity, novelty, and supposed health benefits. So
Speaker 1: in seventeen eighty three, Johann Jacob Schwepp developed that process
Speaker 1: to manufacture bottled carbonated mineral water, founding sweps. Schwepes was
Speaker 1: able to expand rapidly and sell the supposedly healthy carbonated
Speaker 1: water all over Europe. And this early marketing of carbonated
Speaker 1: water as healthy as why sparkling water is still so
Speaker 1: popular in Europe today. But this episode is about caffeinated
Speaker 1: drinks drug stores. Remember this was supposedly a health product,
Speaker 1: initially added caffeine as well as other ingredients for its
Speaker 1: supposed health benefits along with sugar to cover with bitter tastes.
Speaker 1: In the US, especially, people began going to these drugs
Speaker 1: or several times a day to get their fixed. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's because of the health right. So drug stores
Speaker 1: began to install dedicated soda fountains, and companies began to
Speaker 1: sell pre made tonic mixtures to these drug stores, creating
Speaker 1: the first soda brands. So my question for you is,
Speaker 1: what is the oldest soda brand in the United States?
Speaker 1: Is it A Werner's ginger Ale, b Bark's root Beer,
Speaker 1: see Doctor Pepper or d Moxie Cooper.
Speaker 4: I'll say, I'll say that is incorrect.
Speaker 6: What do you think Doctor Pepper?
Speaker 2: That is.
Speaker 1: Mac? Which one sounds older? Is it Werner's ginger Ale.
Speaker 3: Or ginger Ale sounds older? But is that The answer
Speaker 3: is that I'm gonna get Moxie.
Speaker 1: No, Mack, you led yourself, Mac, you led yourself.
Speaker 4: At the beginning of round three.
Speaker 1: Werner's Vanilla ginger Ale was invented by James Werner, a
Speaker 1: pharmacist from Detroit, in eighteen sixty six. Crazy to think
Speaker 1: that people were drinking SODA's just after the Civil War.
Speaker 1: Detroit is also famous for fago of Insane Clown Posse
Speaker 1: Fan Shout out Detroit, Shout out Detroit, Shout out to Detroit,
Speaker 1: Insane Clown Posse Big Fans, Wow, bonus question operating the
Speaker 1: soda fountain at these drug stores with the soda jerk,
Speaker 1: a play on soda clerk, which was their official title,
Speaker 1: and jerk, which you referred to the motion in which
Speaker 1: they added soda. They were usually young men and were
Speaker 1: expected to be showmen with these loud personalities and good
Speaker 1: people skills, and if you were a teenager looking for
Speaker 1: a job, that's the one you want. So competition was
Speaker 1: pretty stiff. Part of being a showman meant you had
Speaker 1: to call out the orders in complicated jargon. Some of
Speaker 1: these terms made sense. If you asked for an orange,
Speaker 1: they would call it Florida. They called ice hail, nuts, gravel, coffee, java,
Speaker 1: and chocolate ice cream mud. I have now idea how
Speaker 1: some of these other jargon terms originated to Charlie Chaplin rules,
Speaker 1: because we haven't done that this episode yet. What does
Speaker 1: it mean if they call out Chicago barks root beer
Speaker 1: of my own new drink, new drink for the.
Speaker 4: I know, all right, Cooper, what do you think all right,
Speaker 4: So Chicago at that time was known for gangster violence.
Speaker 4: So that would mean you get a shot of cherry
Speaker 4: which as it would seep down into the drink.
Speaker 6: That's like crazy, only goodness, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: Let's see your guys answer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is Chicago even known for alcohol?
Speaker 4: The bean? It has beans in it.
Speaker 2: The beans.
Speaker 6: They have to be that ground up grill, ground up
Speaker 6: coffee beans.
Speaker 4: Being lived in their hearts.
Speaker 3: It's spiritual, being spiritual, being mac you're going with alcohol,
Speaker 3: with alcohol like a shot of whiskey.
Speaker 6: That's actually not a bad idea, mac. Oh, I don't
Speaker 6: even know what what do you think, Mitch?
Speaker 2: Maybe you want like maybe at that point they figured
Speaker 2: out like floats, so like you're you're like asking for
Speaker 2: ice cream. That's my guess.
Speaker 1: Okay, I would say the person who's closest is Cooper,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't make sense. It's pineapple juice.
Speaker 2: Why is it? I don't know how I listen to
Speaker 2: step when he said some of these I have no idea, but.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think you guys, you guys all had
Speaker 1: good reasons as for why, but for some reason, it's
Speaker 1: pineapple juice. So Cooper, you named a free point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go, three point. While soda drinks were pretty
Speaker 1: much phased out by the end of the fifties, some
Speaker 1: of their slang stuck. We still call extra thilk, extra
Speaker 1: thick milkshakes, concretes, and egg creams are still semi popular
Speaker 1: drinks in the New York area.
Speaker 2: Where they Java Where what does the word java come from?
Speaker 3: Java?
Speaker 1: Bean? Java?
Speaker 3: Actually Java, it's a type of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, okay, okay, because we still call it like
Speaker 2: a like a Java house or something like that, like
Speaker 2: a coffee assapa. Yeah, so Java, I think.
Speaker 1: That was around before then. But you know, a good
Speaker 1: amount of slang stuck. But yeah, they don't call pineapple
Speaker 1: juice Chicago anymore.
Speaker 2: Did they. Did they have to wear did they wear
Speaker 2: like white? Like a lot of these jobs during this time,
Speaker 2: like if you were a million, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, they wore elaborate uniforms because they were, like, you know,
Speaker 1: their showmen. Surely got to show off, got to have
Speaker 1: a spiffy uniform. Let's get into question twelve. More than
Speaker 1: one hundred year later. One hundred years later, and soda
Speaker 1: has exploded, moving from drug stores and dedicated soda fountains
Speaker 1: to the shelves of grocery stores in bottles and cans.
Speaker 1: The two main conglomerates, Coca Cola and Pepsi, have devoured
Speaker 1: the markets and clash with each other and what was
Speaker 1: dubbed the Cola warps because their main products are so similar,
Speaker 1: with coke having a light vanilla taste and Pepsi having
Speaker 1: the light citrus taste. It really came down to marketing.
Speaker 1: What many people don't know is that this conflict started
Speaker 1: much earlier. On lines were drawn in nineteen thirty one
Speaker 1: when the Loft Candy Company president, Charles Gooth bought Pepsi
Speaker 1: with the explicit desire to get even with Coke. What
Speaker 1: did Coke do that pissed him off so much?
Speaker 2: Was it a?
Speaker 1: They sued him for selling coke with an altered formula
Speaker 1: under the Coke name. He would later use this recipe
Speaker 1: for Pepsi. B the president of Coke's son, broke his
Speaker 1: daughter's heart almost see. They continually rejected his business deals
Speaker 1: and ideas, which he came to believe was targeted towards him,
Speaker 1: specifically d They refused to give him a discount on
Speaker 1: Coke syrup at his own drugstore or e. He just
Speaker 1: hated the taste of Coca Cola.
Speaker 4: Cooper, I think the only reason that you buy a
Speaker 4: rival brand is if they're like trying to shun him.
Speaker 4: So I think he had ideas that they weren't paying
Speaker 4: attention to, and he was.
Speaker 1: Like, they're persecuting I'll show them. Well I made that one, Mac,
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 3: Well, even to this day, Coke is like very specific
Speaker 3: about their like ingredients, They're very specific about their recipe.
Speaker 3: So I think that even back then they were like
Speaker 3: that too.
Speaker 1: So they that's a big part of the Coke marketing
Speaker 1: to isn't it.
Speaker 2: With the ceiling of the polar Bear right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, it's still a big lore. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But I think that he was selling stuff under their
Speaker 3: name that was not Coke.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, Mac, that's incorrect.
Speaker 2: Was that one?
Speaker 1: First one was the altered formula. Second one was he
Speaker 1: broke his daughter's heart. President Coke son broke his daughter's heart.
Speaker 1: See was they can?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: Okay, Cooper already answered that one. Uh, they refuse to
Speaker 1: give him a discount on coke syrup at his own
Speaker 1: drug store, crazy where he did the taste of coked Which.
Speaker 2: One did Max say? Sorry, that's ultra formula.
Speaker 1: Hooper said, they rejected his ideas.
Speaker 4: This is tough. It's the daughter one.
Speaker 2: I think it might be, though, man, I think it
Speaker 2: might be knowing Steven. This is unless this is a
Speaker 2: is a debate. I'm gonna say the broken heart. I'm not.
Speaker 2: I don't have a streak right now. I think you're
Speaker 2: trying to be tricky. I'm gossa say the broken heart.
Speaker 1: Okay. The correct answer is they refuse to give him.
Speaker 1: I don't know why he expected as honestly reading like
Speaker 1: reading it. He just expected a discount for like him personally,
Speaker 1: and they just didn't get so it was very petty. Onwards,
Speaker 1: he only sold Pepsi at his drug store, which he
Speaker 1: bought up after they went bankrupt. He then tried to
Speaker 1: rescue the business by changing the formula, which didn't work,
Speaker 1: and he even offered to sell the company to Coca
Speaker 1: Cola when they were on hard times, but they didn't
Speaker 1: even place a bit at auction, which like kind of
Speaker 1: invigorated his hands, so he bought it back, changed the
Speaker 1: formula again, moved the company headquarters to Long Island, and
Speaker 1: then Pepsi exploded. The catch is that he did all
Speaker 1: of this using the excess profits generated from the Loft
Speaker 1: Candy company, which caused the board to remove him as
Speaker 1: the president and sue him for all his PEPs So
Speaker 1: he didn't even get a benefit from all of that work. Wow,
Speaker 1: Like they just took all of his possessions away because
Speaker 1: he illegally used their profits for his other Like, Petron,
Speaker 1: what do you.
Speaker 6: Think is a more petty rivalry Coke and Pepsi or
Speaker 6: Disney in dream Works.
Speaker 4: I don't know how petty.
Speaker 1: I feel like Coke and Pepsi is very petty. Like
Speaker 1: I understand some of the Disney dream Works stuff where
Speaker 1: it's like former Disney employees. I can see how there's animosity.
Speaker 4: There release commercials just like digging at each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like here's the thing Shrek. That's Shrek. That
Speaker 2: is strike the movie they made to make fun of Disney.
Speaker 2: Like it was like Lord Farquad is a person from
Speaker 2: Disney that they were making fun of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like the head of like no way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, they made a whole movie making
Speaker 2: fun of Disney.
Speaker 1: Now I get it. You know, that's that's fair.
Speaker 4: That's all I get it. I think it's a thirteen
Speaker 4: deductive to say, Shrek is only about Disney.
Speaker 3: Well, not only, but it's about a lot of things.
Speaker 4: Shrek means a lot.
Speaker 2: Shrek is a lot. Is no.
Speaker 1: You could say that, Yeah, you could say that. Question.
Speaker 1: Thirteen Members of the LDS Church are prohibited from drinking
Speaker 1: hot drinks aka coffee and tea by a section of
Speaker 1: doctrines and covenants called Words of Wisdom, but that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they aren't allowed to consume caffeine. Because of this,
Speaker 1: soda has become the drink of choice among many Mormons,
Speaker 1: which has led to rediscoveries and innovations in the art
Speaker 1: of soda craft that have spread far past the Mountain States.
Speaker 1: Dirty soda shops brought back the drinks of the soda
Speaker 1: jerk age, but with the delivery of Starbucks. According to
Speaker 1: Nicole Tanner, the founder of the largest dirty soda chain, Swig,
Speaker 1: and the creator of the term, what did the dirty
Speaker 1: and dirty soda originally refer to? Multiple choice?
Speaker 3: Do you think that is.
Speaker 4: Is original?
Speaker 7: I know?
Speaker 3: Okay, but what if it's question?
Speaker 1: So your options are coconut syrup, lime juice, half and
Speaker 1: half a cream, which is incorrect, or the act of
Speaker 1: adding anything to soda makes it dirty?
Speaker 4: Interesting?
Speaker 6: Mitch, what I'm going to say, adding anything makes it dirty?
Speaker 1: Cooper, what is the original meaning of dirty and dirty soda?
Speaker 1: Is it coconut syrup or lime juice?
Speaker 4: I would probably say lime juice because I know there's
Speaker 4: like a whole thing about putting lime juice in like
Speaker 4: coke a syrup.
Speaker 1: So the first menu item on the Swig menu that
Speaker 1: was called dirty was just doctor pepper with coconut syrup,
Speaker 1: and items they added later on with coconut syrup in
Speaker 1: it were called dirty. But now it kind of just
Speaker 1: generally refers to any like added ingredients making it dirty. Actually,
Speaker 1: people are thinking of like cream when they added Did.
Speaker 4: Swig invent the idea of dirty soda?
Speaker 1: Well, they invented like the term dirty soda, and they're
Speaker 1: what like popularized it, and that's why it's like a
Speaker 1: big thing now and it's kind of a trend now
Speaker 1: is a you know, Swig in their expansion and all
Speaker 1: the other people that kind of do similar things.
Speaker 4: I forgot that there is a challenge question and.
Speaker 1: They have like a soft trademark on the term.
Speaker 2: Well I remember, I remember I went, wait, what, No.
Speaker 1: They sued soda. They sued So Delicious for using the
Speaker 1: term dirty soda, and then they settled out of court
Speaker 1: and then So Delicious kind of changed all the names
Speaker 1: off of dirty soda. A bunch of other smaller business
Speaker 1: do use the term dirty soda, but it's like kind
Speaker 1: of like, okay, you have to reserve.
Speaker 2: Wait wait, but I okay. What I was going to
Speaker 2: say was, this is before all of the stuff that
Speaker 2: came out about Taco Bell. By the way, but I
Speaker 2: went to Taco Bell and they they like asked if
Speaker 2: I wanted dirty it dirty, And I'm like, you're like, no,
Speaker 2: the drink.
Speaker 1: Like you can get your drinks in dirty dirty.
Speaker 2: Like they asked, what's their one drink Baha blah, they
Speaker 2: wanted a dirty Baha blast. I'm like, uh no, I
Speaker 2: don't think I do.
Speaker 1: It might be the official name.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure, but.
Speaker 1: I know Swig did sue So Delicious at one point
Speaker 1: because they were using dirty sodas for their brand, and
Speaker 1: then So Delicious changed their names. Your question, you guys
Speaker 1: can't challenge if you think it's tricky. There's no question
Speaker 1: about baja because we are moving on off from soda
Speaker 1: two question fourteen. As you saw, there's a pattern with
Speaker 1: caffeated drinks being used as medicine, then becoming a daily ritual,
Speaker 1: and then become a vessel for sugar and fat. So
Speaker 1: in a sense, energy drinks were returned to four. The
Speaker 1: energy drink as we know it first emerged in post
Speaker 1: World War two Japan with lipovitan d herbal energizing tonic
Speaker 1: marketed towards truck drivers and factory workers who needed to
Speaker 1: stay awake for long shifts. In nineteen eighty five, Dietrich
Speaker 1: Mathischitz introduced Red Bull to the European market after discovering
Speaker 1: it in Thailand and.
Speaker 3: Was an immediate hit.
Speaker 1: My question is how much more caffeine is in a
Speaker 1: can of Red Bull compared to a comparatively sized cup
Speaker 1: of coffee? Is it A about twenty percent more, B
Speaker 1: about forty percent more, C about sixty percent more, D
Speaker 1: about eighty percent more? Or E actually about twenty percent less?
Speaker 4: Oh really, I thought there were more than one cup of.
Speaker 3: Mac? What do you think to go with sixty sixty percent?
Speaker 1: That is incorrect, Cooper? Or maybe two too low?
Speaker 4: I'll bite, I'll do the one that's less.
Speaker 2: Dang it.
Speaker 6: I was going to say, that's right.
Speaker 2: And that is.
Speaker 1: So eight fluid owns. A can of Red Bull contains
Speaker 1: about eighty milligrams of caffeine, while an eight fluid ounce
Speaker 1: cup of coffee can contain anywhere from ninety five milligrams.
Speaker 2: The sugar.
Speaker 6: There's a lot more sugar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of the other ingredients like the sugar and touring,
Speaker 1: which is actually the ingredient that the drink gets its
Speaker 1: name from, because touring, you know, that's bowls. So there
Speaker 1: you go, give an immediate burst of energy, and the
Speaker 1: rest is psychological. I thought in a cup of coffee
Speaker 1: in there's more than that. And some other drinks, like
Speaker 1: a lot of energy drinks now have like tons of caffeine,
Speaker 1: which is what this is related to question fifteen. Let's
Speaker 1: finish this episode off with a bang. Bang Energy came
Speaker 1: onto the market like a bolt of lightning. I was
Speaker 1: created in twenty twelve by the CEO of Vital Pharmaceuticals,
Speaker 1: Jack o' Wok. Bang Energy immediately sell itself apart from
Speaker 1: its competitors with its off of zero sugar, zero calories,
Speaker 1: three hundred milligram's caffeine, and a secret ingredient called supercreatine,
Speaker 1: a product off of Vital Pharmaceuticals Sports enhancement shell, but
Speaker 1: the brightest stars burn out the quickest. Bang Energy was
Speaker 1: effectively sued to death. Jack O Walk was forced out
Speaker 1: and Monster Energy took the brand over. One of the
Speaker 1: things they were sued for was, unsurprisingly, consumer deception, and
Speaker 1: specifically for supercreatine. All the following multiple choice options are
Speaker 1: among the claimed advantages of supercreatine. Which of the following
Speaker 1: is an actual advantage that supercreatine provides overcreating monohydrate which
Speaker 1: is like what most people call creatine. Is it A
Speaker 1: it's stable in solution, which means it won't degrade into
Speaker 1: creatine the overtime. B, it's water soluble, s it's able
Speaker 1: to cross the blood brain barrier.
Speaker 3: Or D.
Speaker 1: It's supercreatine enhances muscle creatine stores.
Speaker 4: So one of these is false.
Speaker 1: One of these is an actual advantage it provides. All
Speaker 1: the other ones are claimed advantages that it doesn't provide.
Speaker 3: What advantage would getting into your brain be?
Speaker 1: I want to they they advertise all of these and
Speaker 1: only one of them is true. Cooper, what do you
Speaker 1: say water soluble? That is incorrect?
Speaker 4: Not water soluble?
Speaker 1: No, well, that's not a unique advantage of it.
Speaker 4: Okay, of supercreatine regular creatine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so it's only for advantages over because regular
Speaker 1: creatine is also water soluble, So that's not even that's
Speaker 1: what I'm real marketing point, mac.
Speaker 3: I think that this is not an advantage, but it's
Speaker 3: something that supercreatine does do that creating does not, and
Speaker 3: that's getting into your brain. I think that super creating
Speaker 3: crosses the blood brain barrier.
Speaker 1: Okay, that is incorrect. Both of them across the blood brain.
Speaker 2: Are the options left. One of them was muscle.
Speaker 1: It's so it's stable in which means it won't degrade
Speaker 1: into creatin nine overtime or supercreatine enhances muscle creatine stores
Speaker 1: compared to normal creatine.
Speaker 6: Oh, those are both very believable. It's fifty fifty.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: I guess that's why they claim all of these advantages,
Speaker 1: but only one of them is an actual advantage.
Speaker 6: I'll just say.
Speaker 2: When you say sorry, the first of the two, when
Speaker 2: you say that it it doesn't degrade, you mean like
Speaker 2: it doesn't degrade on shelves or doesn't degrade.
Speaker 6: In your body as quick?
Speaker 2: Like what do you mean by that? Like on shelves
Speaker 2: so longer?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the claim is that you know normal creatine. The
Speaker 1: claim is that it will degrade into creatinine overtime, which
Speaker 1: your body can't utilize as much to enhance muscle building.
Speaker 6: I'll go with the muscle one.
Speaker 1: Enhances muscle creatine. I'm sorry, it's that's the only advantage
Speaker 1: creatine provides over creatine monohydrate, which is what you get
Speaker 1: in any sports settlement, and that it's stable for a lot.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's actually worse in that it doesn't enhance muscle
Speaker 1: creatine stores, which normal creatine does. So really it's like,
Speaker 1: what's the point. And hypothetically, even if super creatine did anything,
Speaker 1: is at such low quantities in the energy drink that
Speaker 1: it effectively would do nothing if it was normal creatine.
Speaker 1: Now that Jack o Walk is on his own, he's
Speaker 1: made a new energy drink called Ai Energy.
Speaker 2: Ai Energy, he has aid.
Speaker 1: So I think that's all I need to say about that.
Speaker 7: What the hell?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Perfect? So let's do a final caffeine coin check. How
Speaker 1: many caffeine you guys?
Speaker 4: I have nine?
Speaker 2: I have three.
Speaker 6: I didn't get any of that last round, so I
Speaker 6: still have sixteen.
Speaker 2: Still, Just.
Speaker 4: Dang, there were like questions nobody got.
Speaker 3: I'll challenge the uh, what's it called I don't even.
Speaker 1: Know I can repeat all the questions. Yeah, okay, so
Speaker 1: they repeated it all, which is an actual Starbucks menu
Speaker 1: item cookie dough. I'll challenge that record.
Speaker 3: Challenge that one.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'll keep going.
Speaker 4: Hold on, that was the one that mis challenged.
Speaker 3: So oh man, oh, I won't challenge it. Then he
Speaker 3: actually missed it.
Speaker 2: It did not go well for me.
Speaker 4: Oh, maybe he challenged the wrong thing about it.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're right, you're right. Yeah, four challenge on the Palmer.
Speaker 3: I think that he's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I know what.
Speaker 4: I'm going to challenge. You're you're tricky, Steven. I've never
Speaker 4: heard of the Philadelphia Tea Party. I challenged the fact
Speaker 4: that that's that it even exists.
Speaker 2: Just for the record, I think if I had a
Speaker 2: challenge left, I would challenge the dirty soda one.
Speaker 4: That origin she talked about like swig getting like like
Speaker 4: sewing and stuff. The others. I think that's real.
Speaker 2: No, I I think that that's should try to.
Speaker 4: I think it's real. Guess we'll see.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, drum roll, please, none of you. The real
Speaker 1: challenge question was the origin of coffee and Japan. Well,
Speaker 1: the Nestlie gorilla campaign YouTube videos about that, but I
Speaker 1: actually found no sources verifying that. I think that's like
Speaker 1: Nastalie's own marketing is trying to be like we interested.
Speaker 2: It was probably America.
Speaker 1: The coffee was around long before that, and it probably
Speaker 1: has to do with American introduction. And also Dutch traders
Speaker 1: did introduce coffee, but also it didn't really take off.
Speaker 1: If anything, I would say it's the America one. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot I'm like, really seemingly well researched YouTube
Speaker 1: videos about how Nestlie introduced coffee to Japan, and that's
Speaker 1: why you research everything, because yeah, I think that's just
Speaker 1: Nestie trying to an evil corporation. Yeah, so there you
Speaker 1: give that the story is true story.
Speaker 4: It's an evil story to be like, we'll feed coffee
Speaker 4: to kids so they grow up addicted to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well congrats, Mitch, whether you like it or not,
Speaker 1: you're having dinner by the end of that. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can just beg him for money.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if the think about all the big
Speaker 4: money moves that he'll teach you, think of all the business,
Speaker 4: think of all the unions he can help you.
