Food Theory: Gamer Drinks Are A LIE?! (GFuel)

Hearing Mat say “tiddy milk” has brightened my day

Videos like this are NEEDED in a world where advertising can be vastly different for any item.

fun fact about the stock photo at 9:55: The man holding a coffee cup is actually a German reporter who works at STRG_F. He did an experiment to see how widely his stock photo would circulate, i guess it ended up making its way to the Food Theory Kitchen

As someone who takes medication for concentration and for anxiety, I wanted to try GFuel, but after seeing that it worked better for me than coffee, I wanted to consult with a pharmacist before buying more. Now, what I asked her was specifically if there was any counter-indications from any of the ingredients with any of my meds, and while I expected disapproval from some of the ingredients in the energy part of things, like caffeine or taurine, it ended up that the only really problematic ingredient in there was the _grapefruit fruit powder_, listed as part of the antioxidant complex, because apparently grapefruit contains something that can lower the efficacity of anti-anxiety meds. I'll tell you, I definitely wasn't expecting that one 😅

Matpat is gonna destroy the entire food industry at this rate😂

Hear me out: a theory on why Coke won’t sponsor Mat Patt and then reveal at the end that this video is sponsored by Coke

16:24 Did anyone notice the "Attentiom Span"? When i first saw it I bursted out laughing

16:25 "Attentiom Span" has to be one of the best and most ironic typos I've seen in awhile haha

Matpat and Sanji were 1 drink away from that scene in Futurama where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee.

When you tested the gamersupps, you did 5 to 1 ratio on the servings. You essentially did 5 servings of gamersupps to 8oz of water witch is only for one serving. The gamersupps serving size is significantly smaller than G Fuel's serving size. I just want to point this out in respect for the scientific method and so you can rescore everything on the flavor chart and so you are doing the proper serving size.

It should also be mentioned that most of these drinks advertise themselves as being healthy and offering a variety of other useful substances other than caffeine but few if any actually meet the minimum effective dose of any of the substances meaning that your body does not benefit at all from them and you won't feel their effects.

I loved the chemical breakdown and explanation! The science in these videos are so informative and entertaining. You should examine pre-work supplements at some point, I'd love a chemical breakdown of how those work too.

When MatPat said “Tiddy Milk” and then his face after his homie admitted the truth to us all, that was just a hilarious moment 👌

That intro cemented MatPat's status as a father, holy moly

I'd love to see if there's a study on how these drinks affect those with Narcolepsy, especially since its still not 100% clear exactly what and why for it. As it was explained to me, Narcolepsy makes it so the brain doesn't have well defined sleep/wake barriers so we can pass from one to the other without even knowing. So blocking our receptors can be good. I actually take a stimulant daily help keep my receptors blocked so I don't just fall asleep while driving.

This is always something ive pondered from time to time. Thanks for covering it! :D

I'm guessing this video will have a sequel in which they'll actually reveal what is truly the best drink for gamer with the twist being it's not an energy or gamer drink.

I am getting way to invested in these gamer drinks for someone who drinks practically exclusively water and tea lol

Some of these formulas sound reminiscent of Pre-workout mixes too. I'd be curious to see a video on that!

Mat Pat never fails to make my day and entertain me with some sweet science
