Really late comment but they list the alcohol content because, while Kombucha is legally considered non-alcoholic, it does contain traces of alcohol left over from the brewing process. The brewing process closely resembles that of various kinds of alcohol. In the US, a minor is legally allowed to purchase these because the content is less than .5%, which is typical of many products used by and for those under 21. A minor issue with this appeared in grocery stores for a very short period of time when some teens found out that by buying a crap ton of these, they could slowly get drunk. It didn't last long though due to the following issues. 1. The quantity you'd have to consume to get even the slightest buzz is ridiculous and... 2. This quantity would have you puking your guts out. Not even due to the alcohol. Just the quantity of the beverage itself. 3. These are not cheap and they don't typically come in packages or boxes unless ordered online or purchased from a bulk good market. 4. With everything listed above, it just proved to be easier to convince one of their older friends at a 7-11 to sell to them than it is to try and get wasted off of these. That being said, the drinks are more or less harmless if consumed in reasonable quantities. The danger in over-consumption lies more in the probiotic content. If your kid wants to try it, don't freak out about the alcohol warning on the back. It's not enough to even faze a 9-year-old and, as mentioned in the video; the drinks have numerous digestive and immune benefits for the growing body and are a healthy alternative to sodas. Also, for anyone wanting a Kombucha that tastes exactly like Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola, or Root Beer; check out the brand "Live Soda Kombucha." It's Kombucha without the horrific overtime effects of long-term soda consumption.
Your videos are the best! I know it’s not really your thing, but would you ever consider doing a role play video? I like the sound of typing on a keyboard- maybe a customer service role?
I could attempt that :) Any particular kind of customer service? Just so you know, I do have the next several weeks of topics already planned out, but I could do it as a future video!
I follow the iifym method of eating so I spend a looot of time reading labels, I get what you mean about enjoying it. For me I guess I just like knowing exactly what I’m consuming, it’s kind of comforting and fun to learn. Maybe a video of reading labels?
I've never really tried anything but oolong with kombucha (delicious btw!), but I think I'll go out and try some of these :> Thanks for trying them out for us. Great whispers in this video, too!
I actually work at Aqua ViTea in Middlebury Vt, I'm not sure where you're from but it's really cool to see people reviewing a product the I bottle every day, if you can find it near you I would recommend our peach mint, or blue bernie as they are delicious! Thanks for buying our product :)
Ryan Delisle - thank you Ryan! :) it's so cool to hear from someone who works there! I will definitely check out that flavor in the future. My only question - did I butcher the pronunciation? 😢😭 if so I'm so sorry! Is it VI tea or VEE tea?
Haha you're one of the few people I've seen that actually didn't butcher the name 😆 I've noticed alot of people even have trouble pronouncing kombucha haha.
Big fan of the honey tasting videos (they're my go to).. In saying that, I wonder if you would be interested in making a tasting video involving unusually flavored sodas. Just stay away from anything like ranch dressing.
MegInWhispers The ad was this guy advertising for an ebook about making your own kombucha tea. But, it was formatted like one of those get rich quick infomercials. It was just weird lol

Great relaxing video with lots of useful information! Thanks, Megin.❣️
Thank you Rose! :) You're the best.
Ohhh! How about a video reading a book and eating hard candy? Those are my favorite!
That one's on the poll for next time! :)
I hear you can also use this to dissolve human bone and tissue. Useful if you ever make any enemies.

MegInWhispers maybe a travel agent? Would be a nice escape to imagine being able to afford a luxury vacation!
I love travel :) that could work!
This absolutely great! Great job!

Right?? For some reason, it's so interesting and comforting.
Can you make chocolate bark ?
Only if it's a chocolate dog.
Chocolate bark would be SO tasty. I love this idea!
I've never really tried anything but oolong with kombucha (delicious btw!), but I think I'll go out and try some of these :> Thanks for trying them out for us. Great whispers in this video, too!
Thank you! Definitely give them a try and let me know what you think. I was a bit hesitant at first, but now I love all the different flavors.

The video title gave a targeted ad from this crazy guy who is WAY too excited about kombucha tea.
Can you re-phrase? :)
MegInWhispers The ad was this guy advertising for an ebook about making your own kombucha tea. But, it was formatted like one of those get rich quick infomercials. It was just weird lol
Ooooh a targeted AD! :) Got it - I couldn't figure out what you meant! Haha. So did your get the ebook?! :P
(kidding)
MegInWhispers smh I didn't realize I left off "ad" originally.
Let he who has never made a typo cast the first stone. Hehe no worries!
