Food Theory: Do NOT Eat NyQuil Chicken!

The way that the normally very chill Matpat (well when he's not playing games) got audibly furious as this video went on at how irresponsible the media is and how they're gonna get kids hurt by not doing their jobs just goes to show how serious this entire thing is

I love how every episode, MatPat gets angrier and angrier at the media and big corporate companies. It’s nice seeing someone do real research instead of just trusting whatever they are told.

To be honest, I feel oddly scared when Mat is genuinely angry. He always seems like that one teacher you had who was always chill with everything, and the one that you thought you'd never see genuinely angry in a million years.

Matt sounding genuinely angry about news outlets ignoring serious events makes me glad that he cares about us all-

This is... exactly what happened with Tide Pods. You have to hear about it to even consider trying it, so the more people hear about it (the more it's reported, even if you're being told not to do it), the more people will have the idea to try it.

Matpat using his influence to actually educate people and explain how satire is a very real thing gives me hope in humanity. So much media is pure noise, but it’s the nuggets of knowledge and simple satire that make it enjoyable.

Matpat actually got angry during this, which just shows how much he actually cares about people well being. He’s telling people facts to protect us, and still being funny and happy. I love his channel, he’s a great person.

This reminds me of the time you guys covered how the media lied about the Tide-pod challenge, making it seem like a big thing when really it wasn't

As a teenager who was mainly raised by my grandma who watches the news 24/7 and barely has idea of what the internet is, I can't even describe how many of this fake/exaggerated stories the tv reports on have gotten me in trouble for doing absolutely nothing other than watching some youtubers that have nothing to do with those reports/"challenges". The actual fear it gave my grandma for my safety was tremendous every single time. And, of course, is never easy to explain to people that get their news from the tv that the news actually do lie to get people to watch it, is insane.

And yet we wonder why teenagers and "younger" people are always stereotyped against. Sure, some trends are genuinley stupid, but when the media presents things like this that are meant to be jokes in such a serious light, is when the real problem ensues. Thanks MatPat for presenting this issue at face value with none of the drama and exageration that the news seems to put on it.

This is why I love Matpat he is just trying to keep the public safe while delivering the truth.

This is TRUE.... Thought I'd never cook with Nyquill... Once day I ate a great chicken burrito that was very hot and about an hour later I took one lid of Nyquill to settle my cough, and I was constipated for three days. My body did not like that at all. NEVER again will I repeat that.

Matpat’s doing the lord’s work here 😭 you know the society we live in sucks when a literal YouTuber gives more accurate news then literal news stations.

This is the first I’m hearing of this “trend”. If the news networks can’t even get this right it makes me very fearful on what else they are getting wrong. Another reminder that we all need to do our own homework.

I've been been binge-watching your videos. This one goes above and beyond on earning my interest and respect! God bless you and thank you for connecting these dots and shedding light on the reality of it!

thanks for this video. honestly I hate when the "news" does stuff like this regarding nyquil chicken or tide pods when like everyone participating knows it's just a meme.

I went in to this thinking matpat was going to talk about why you obviously shouldn’t eat NyQuil chicken but it turned out to be a excellent and refreshing talk about the danger of old school media that doesn’t do it’s research as well as pointing out the real problems they should be covering. Thank you matpat for this, it’s great that every once in a while we get a serious episode that helps educate people about real world issues.

The media frustrates me more than anything else sometimes. Thanks for spreading the word about this, MatPat, it's important for people to know so that hopefully the media reports the actual news... more often? Though that might be a little bit too much to hope

Hi MatPat! I just want to say I love your channel! You always give me new Theories whenever you make your videos. Love the theories and I hope you see this and it makes you happy!

Thank you matpat for everything, we will all miss you
