And also this:

I think the first one is worse, but it's also gross that I'm thinking about which one is "better..."

This is a fun ride with Jenny Slate, Bill Hader, and Simon Helberg:

This is WILD... I might have to try this:

Logan's Candies shared a video of how they make their root beer ribbon candy:

Rhett and Link made an entire meal out of bacon. At about the 2:07 mark, they pulled out the bacon soda (which is gross by itself - see this post to read my review), but then they made is SO MUCH WORSE...

Granny tries to find her beloved Pepsi:

My boys and I stopped by the MN State Fair on opening day. We HAD to get a cup of Spring Grove Soda Pop:

We shared a cup of Black Cherry.

Rhett and Link recently tried some odd Coke flavors. I've tried 2 of these so far, posted HERE and HERE.

Recently, Rhett and Link tried to guess where different Fanta sodas originated:

That's the edited 6 minute version above, but here's the full version on YouTube if you're interested (which is 22 mins long).

One of my favorite internet duos tested "soda products." Here's the shortened Facebook version which is a cool 6 minutes (and click that link if this embed doesn't work):



And here's the longer YouTube version (which is 22 mins):

As Rhett mentions in this post, these labels seem to just be marketing.

Watch as they try to guess if they are drinking "diet" or "zero sugar" sodas:



Here's the direct link on Facebook.

And here's the full clip from YouTube (which is 16 min vs the 5 min Facebook version - I love Rhett and Link, but I always seem to prefer the more edited Facebook version).

My favorite YouTube duo is back again. Here they experiment with different ways to keep your soda from exploding all over you when you open it.

That Facebook video is under 6 minutes and is just the good stuff. Here's the "full" video on YouTube which is a (TOO) long 18 minutes if you're interested:

Say what you will about Facebook, but I'm just happy that to best monitize videos for Facebook, they need to be severly edited down. And I generally prefer those major edits over long YouTube videos that take 3x as long getting to the same point...

One of my favorite pairs of funny guys on the internet tried to guess where these sodas were from:

If the Facebook video above doesn't work, here's the YouTube version. (But I prefer the much more "edited down" 5 min Facebook video vs the 15 min YouTube video.)

Rhett and Link show us ways they've tried to open a bottle of soda:

And here's their full 12 minute video about this (although I prefer the more edited 5 minute Facebook version above):

Rhett and Link (the funny friends from the internet) just posted a video where they test sodas to see if they can tell if sodas came from the tap, a can, or a bottle. AND what they like better. They learned something. Check them out:

GLASS VS. BOTTLE VS. FOUNTAIN SODA CHALLENGE

Are fountain drinks as good as you THINK they are?

Rhett and Link recently tried some discontinued Pepsi flavors from 1991.

CLICK HERE to see the video.

The entire video is just over 5 minutes long, and they start talking about the Pepsi at the 2:06 point.

There's first a surprisingly GOOD thing, but then a (not so surprisingly) bad thing.

Here's a semi-entertaining video about sodas (skip to below the video for a shorter version):

That video is 15 minutes long. If you want to see an edited version that gets right to the "important" parts, check out this video on Facebook that's only 5 minutes. (SERIOUSLY, THE FACEBOOK LINK IS SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE IT'S EDITED DOWN.)

This is gross, and he vomits a little near the end, but everything leading up to the puke is a bit interesting: the staining on the bottle, the kind of bottle cap used, etc.

This guy bought a "K Heinrichs" bottle of soda from around 1900 (it may have been rebottled with beer or wine) and noted that "it smells like gasoline and perfume." Watch this if you're interested. Lots of foul language, and some puke at 4:05, 4:55, and 5:24.
