    I used thick it for a person I worked with who had dementia. She was pretty far gone and mostly just stared off into space or slumped over herself. But I misjudged that stuff and tried to give her a drink of thickened juice and it was so thick it didn't even slide down the side of the cup and she burst out laughing hysterically at me. Now that's what I think of whenever anyone mentions thick it.

    So in a care setting, we refer to the different levels of thickness as nectar, honey, applesauce, and pudding. The initial cup was definitely applesauce verging on pudding thick, not honey. My residents have told me it's better in cold things than hot, but it's much harder to mix in cold things. I always recommend mixing it using a fork, just to keep it from being lumpy. And I know Evan kinda liked it, but there's a reason we don't use Thick It in regular cooking😅

    I didn't scroll very far through the comments to see if anyone mentioned the reasons behind its uses in a healthcare setting, but I've seen it mainly used for those with some sort of swallowing problem. E.g. mouth or throat cancers, muscle tone issues, sensory issues, development delays, post-surgery for healing. It's a wonderful product for safety but none of my patients have enjoyed it in anything except desserts or the occasional cold drink. Flavour plays a huge factor too.

      The first coffee was much thicker than what we would consider "honey" consistency in the hospital -- it was closer to the next level, which is sometimes called "pudding" consistency. I think their scoops were a little generous, plus they used the amount intended for skim milk -- but they were putting it into a mixture of coffee, whole milk, and a non-dairy milk that already contains thickeners. All of those require LESS thickener than skim milk, so they really used way too much.

      You would be making instant pudding. Modified corn starch is exactly what they use to make instant pudding thick. Ice cream has the texture it has because of tiny ice crystals that melt as you eat it. You don't get ice cream by just making milk a thicker consistency.

    i am a PSW and I've had to give some residents thickened coffee and i have also made some at home(my dad had a problem swallowing for a while so he got some for his drinks, i thought it would be interesting to put in coffee. its a lot different when you make coffee without milk or cream). thick coffee while its good if you cant drink liquids or cant swallow well. you should try soups or clear liquids with it because it really throws off your brain when your drinking something you know should be thin and it is more scoopable.

She’s one of those “I drink it black” snobs, and thought it was some kind of laughing moment when I used enough milk in watery coffee to make it light.

    I’m glad you started the video by saying that thick it is used to thicken liquids for people with certain medical conditions. Because I have seen a lot of people use thick it and blend meals together and say how gross it is. But for people like myself who have to blend meals into purée form to eat and thicken liquids to avoid having a NG or other feeling tube placed it’s a way of life and we find these things helpful and are extremely grateful for them. I have been able to doge tubes for now and am grateful. All I ask is please don’t shine negative light on products like this because when people started these trends I have gotten a lot of OMG that’s so gross how can you eat that someone on RUclips did it and throw up it was so bad. Which puts bad feelings towards food around. I had puréed pizza in the hospital as one of the meals and loved it and asked how to make it at home. I made it and even though it’s delicious and tastes just like pizza because that is what it is some people gave me a hard time for wasting good pizza and were grossed out even though if I never told you what it was you would think it was some kind of thick tomato and cheese soup. There is a lot of stuff around food and people with swallowing problems especially in family context around meals and if we should get soda this week or that. Your opening was good but remember these things are not made to be taken to the extreme and when you do I like the fact that he said you wanted to make it extreme when it tasted really bad. I’m not trying to be preachy I just want you to know that what you post gets seen by many people and taking something that is strange to you and many others but is a medical supply you should also take into consideration the fact that formula for tube feeding is in short supply so some who can are going back to eating what they can and causing trends can cause that medical supply that is always already at risk of short supply to become extremely rare for those who need it to get. There are preferences in brands and types of thickeners for different swallow problems and running low in some can cause people to switch to brands that don’t work as well and can cause serious problems. Just food for thought. It’s just a worry that I have since if I can’t eat or drink that means IV feeds (TPN) and IV fluids where people who have “normal” swallows just try different foods. Sorry I didn’t know why this bothers me so much because you were so good about it. But you showed up in my feed for the first time today because this has been put into the category of other RUclipsrs I watch and the person it said it was like was “simply not logical” which has a huge following herself.
