Phenylalanine is an amino acid, not a sweetener. They have to label it as an ingredient for people who have phenylketonuria, a genetic disorder which prevents proper metabolism of this amino acid.
Hi Clara, Thank you for commenting about this! When my husband and I were watching GMM we both were talking about commenting about this exact thing! I'm the president of the PKU Organization of Illinois and Allied Disorders and very few people get why that warning is on the can! I wonder how many people will google phenylalanine after watching this episode? :)
Danae Bartke Thank you, I never knew anyone with this disorder but I remember hearing about it in high school or college biology many years ago! And now every time I read a can of soda I think about that. Hopefully someone else will learn something important today!
Gotta love Link's thought process: "I don't like Diet Coke anymore... I like Diet Pepsi. I am a "Diet Pepsi Man"... Unless there's Coke Zero around... Crapacilicous, I think I like Diet Pepsi better than Coke Zero.
Let's get this cleared up, because it's a common misconception: phenylalanine is not a sweetener. It's an amino acid, which are the natural parts of proteins. ALL protein you eat has phenylalanine. It is not harmful in any way. So why do we need to declare it? Most artificial sweeteners have it, and why is it not printed on anything with protein? People who have the disease PKU (one of the things they test for when they stab newborn baby heels) cannot process phenylalanine. If they eat phenylalanine, it builds up in their brains and they experience extreme mental delay and emotional instability. So they eat no protein. However artificial sweeteners do not have enough protein that they need to declare it. So it says 0 grams of protein, but there is some protein. If they used artificial sweeteners, but it's not enough to put protein in the nutritional facts, they, by law, must put that it contains phenylalanine. Notice, it actually says: "Phenylketonurics: contains phenylalanine." The warning is just for phenylketonurics, people who have PKU (phenylketonuria). And now you know.
Dude, do your research on Aspartame and the effects it has in the human body. Its only safe if you drink 1 serving a day, more than that and you get side effects, it's poison.
Brandon Floyd Umm...my response wasn't about aspartame. It's about a harmless ingredient inside it. So, dude, don't make condescending, irrelevant comments.
ghillies4life well, you made it seem that way. I'm just trying to tell you for the sake of information that the stuff inside of the diet stuff is DL-phenylalanine. L-phenylalanine, the natural form found in proteins D-phenylalanine (a mirror image of L-phenylalanine that is made in a laboratory) DL-phenylalanine, a combination of the 2 forms anyway I read your comment again, and there really isn't anything to debate. but your statement made it seem like the substitute is safe, and that's a bold statement.
Aspartame has much more phenylalanin than other proteins. Also to many people who are allergic to this stuff eat certain kinds of meat but soda is NOT an obvious place for th is stuff.
Nathan Davidson When I had to take medicine I washed it down with Dr.Pepper and after that it tasted like medicine. It tastes regular now but it didn't for about a month.
George Most american childrens medicine is artificial cherry flavored. Thats why Dr. Pepper tastes like medicine to many people. Because the artificial cherry flavor.
Just to clarify for anyone watching around 3:00, phenylalanine is not a sweetener. It's an amino acid that occurs in most foods. People with a specific genetic condition (phenylketonuria) cannot process it and require a special diet free of phenylalanine. It's not toxic to anyone else.
Also, Pepsi True and Coke Life both use the stevia plant extract, which is a natural noncaloric sweetener. The companies are going for an "all natural" reduced-calorie product, by using cane sugar and stevia extract. Since stevia extract has a peculiar flavor profile, they aren't able to use it as the only sweetener.
CasterRGB Too bad for you that Dr Pepper is very popular. I’ll keep drinking because I like it. You don’t have to like it but don’t insult people who do.
Phenolphthalein (what Link call phenylalanine) is a detector of a basic solution. By itself, it is clear, but when put in a solution that is more basic (above a pH of around 7, which is neutral), it will turn a bright pink. Phenolphthalein is mainly used in acid base titrations. Only said it because I’m taking chemistry
HAMMERonRUclips if you like those you should try fresca (it's only diet). It's pomegranate instead of citrus but you may like it. Just bringing it up because I like the diet versions of both of those and like fresca
Fun fact: Pepsi was invented after refrigerators and was meant to be drank cold. Coke was invented BEFORE fridges and originally drank warm. If you drink warm Coke and cold Pepsi, they are meant to taste the same.
This should actually clear the air on phenylalanine. Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages. In the European Union, it is codified as E951. Aspartame is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide. (Wikipedia). And now you know the truth, phenylalanine is a inextricable constituent of aspartame. I think the misconception is that phenylalanine is NOT involved with the artificial sweetness, when it is in fact half of the aspartame molecule. Aspartame is a dipeptide (peptide composer of 2 amino acids, 1 of those being Phenylalanine)
The opening noise of all the soda cans is just so great!
Cracking a cold one brings more pleasure than anything else in the world
Dewan beer is even better

They should have put it into cups so they didn’t know which they tasted so they weren’t biased.
Sunny.bias nerd
But soda tastes so much better in a can!
Renate they could have disguised every can
@@renate8290 it really doesn't. unless you like the taste of aluminum

Links Kermit the frog impression was actually REALLY good😊
Suzanne Sylvester yes
Yes, for sure! Link was all over it (and everything else) this episode. Rhett's been wrong about so many things in this one hahaha.

10:13 I love how he just went along with it instantly 😂😂
I love how you can tell their personalities just by the way they arrange their cans while they were drinking them
How did you notice that 😂
"Coke Zero tastes better than Diet Coke".
SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!
Penny Sautereau THANK YOU
I used to love Coke Zero. Than they changed the formula. Now it's 'bleh'. I miss the old version.
They don't make Coke Zero anymore. They have Coke Zero Sugar now and its not the same. :(
BrandonB311 THIS! D: I actually enjoy Diet Coke over Coke Zero Sugar.
Coke Zero is the actual worst
They should have poured the drinks into mugs to get an unbiased point of view.
Definitely
But they aren’t comparing them to the original? They’re just drinking the diets lml. Theres no comparisons.
Goose there comparing the diets
Oddly enough, I grew accustomed to Diet Coke IF it's REALLY cold with ice. Coke Zero is of course my 1st but I agree that Diet Coke isn't that bad.
Ice waters it down.
Weirdo
Why does link still have a piece of bread lmao
7:32 Crapalicious 😂😂😂
Digitalbumpin and whats wrong with that?
simple minds enjoy simple things
@Digitalbumpin and yet here we all are watching two dudes drink diet sodas
The only word you can muster as you realize your entire life structure has come tumbling down lol
"OOOPEN YOUR DOOOOORS.."
Rhett's hands must b huge. I kept thinking his cans were those 8 oz versions
That noise when they open the can😝👌🏻😘
Barry's Vids I know does it remind when I was a kid my father said he loved Pepsi cola I just loved the noise that it makes from the can and the glass
1. Diet Dr Pepper
2. Pepsi Max
3. Coke Zero
How dare you like Pepsi Max
Hey guys, I think it would be interesting if you did a glass bottle vs aluminum can vs plastic bottle taste test. :)
J Ty glass bottle is always superior idk what it is but pop tastes so much better that way
I Love Ryan Magee its because it doesnt have a plastic or metallic taste from the containers.
Glass Bottle > Plastic Bottle > Can. There is no disputing that order.
Jason White glass>can>bottle imo
Reaburn like clear, or stained white?
"The dark horse, although it's silver. Don't get confused."
For the "Coca Cola Life" its not called life because it gives you life... its called life because it has only natural sugars
Sugar is the fuel of life. ;)
And it still tastes like it's artificially sweetened
Gotta love Link's thought process:
"I don't like Diet Coke anymore... I like Diet Pepsi. I am a "Diet Pepsi Man"... Unless there's Coke Zero around... Crapacilicous, I think I like Diet Pepsi better than Coke Zero.
GMM is the only place I've heard that Dr. Pepper tastes like medicine. I love Dr. Pepper and never though that at all.
Gabriel Babbitt don't know what medicine they use but I want it
DPGamez 1 Heck yeah! If any of my medicine tasted like Dr. Pepper it would be a hella lot easier to take. Dr. Pepper flavored cough syrup? Why not?😁
I've heard that plenty of times
Still don't get how anyone can actually like Dr Pepper. It made me heave the one time i tried it
Gabriel Babbitt well I mean it was initially made to be medicinal
Diet Dr Pepper is my all time favorite diet soda. I’m not a huge fan of regular Dr Pepper, but the diet one is really good
Agree with this so much i was searching for a comment just like it
100% the peppery taste is so satisfying!
Would buy loads of this drink.

that was a freaking amazing Kermit impression.
I'm with Rhett
i have one question for gmm WHERE IS THE DANG SPRITE
Paused the video to go buy regular Dr Pepper.
Consumer Reports said years ago Kroger/Shaws/Ralph's diet Root Beer was the best tasting soft drink on the market. 100% right.
I've been waiting sooo long for this. I'm currently addicted to Diet Pepsi.
Prune juice..Dr Pepper..and diet dr pepper. I love it!
link is so magical, he might as well be a Fizz-ard
"No,No,No Different cans, Different names"- Link, 2017
Why do people say Dr. Pepper tastes like medicine??? Dr. Pepper is delicious.
Nathan Davidson It's top freaking dog.
Because it does taste like cherry cough medicine. I like it, but it definitely does taste like it.
Nathan Davidson disgusting I think is the word u meant :)
the weirdest soda ive had is coca cola cherry... to me it tastes almost exactly like marzipan, not cherry...
Nathan Davidson When I had to take medicine I washed it down with Dr.Pepper and after that it tasted like medicine. It tastes regular now but it didn't for about a month.
Being diabetic i can totally get behind this video..thanks guys!!
Same
WILL IT LASAGNA!!!
Prodigy Gamer will it soda
they make their own sodas
GeometryDash Pigman ?
Gavin Puckett I don't know what soda is. So, I was asking if soda is another word for pop
Lol as a nutrition student watching them try to read the nutrition label and understand the ingredients had me dying 😂😂😂
Love these guys
This could’ve been its own episode
Rhett made me want Dr. Pepper really bad! 😂
I almost forgot that these are just two southern boys doing their thing.
The taste of Dr. Pepper isn't supposed to be like medicine, it's supposed to be "spicy cherry"!
George diet Dr. pepper is the best
They call it plum.
George Most american childrens medicine is artificial cherry flavored. Thats why Dr. Pepper tastes like medicine to many people. Because the artificial cherry flavor.
George, what about cherry flavored dr.pepper huh. Explain that
jesse reed its just extra cherry.... more sweet then the spice that regular has.
Rhett and link is always there for us
8:06 South Carolina Absolutely!

Rhett's eyebrows on fleak in the thumbnail......
Fleek*
love niall haha
love niall I love Niall too
Or should I say the thumb Niall
He's eyebrows on fleak? And ellipses?
"I like diet Pepsi better than diet Coke, but not a good as Coke zero" That is the correct answer. Well done sir. Well done.
coca cola life is not diet, it just life cus it has cane sugar
GOD ALFA i actually like it a bit more than regular coke because it has a slightly sweeter and different taste.
It's life because of the Stevia.
cracking a diet cold one open with the boys
How did you guys do this video without Sprite represented?! OMG
i love these food tasting videos with rhett and link

You lost me at “I don’t like Dr. Pepper” one of the top 3 best soft drinks ever.
How weird are your tastebuds to like Dr Pepper
CasterRGB Ah so you’re gonna judge me for liking Dr. Pepper? Whatever floats your boat I guess. 🙄😂
@@casterexists9806 how weird are your tastebuds to NOT like dr pepper
Exostew196 it’s nasty. It tastes like a rotten piece of caramel.
CasterRGB Too bad for you that Dr Pepper is very popular. I’ll keep drinking because I like it. You don’t have to like it but don’t insult people who do.
diet rootbeer is literally the fn best. rootbeer already has such an odd taste , that the diet part doesn’t really show up. it’s so good
Which brand?
@@DiningWithDiego sure i’ll respond 5 years later, pretty sure it was A&W
@@brookelynj5766 I’m just asking because I love root beer, but never tried any diet ones. Was always curious though.
Diet drpepper is my favorite I like it more than all sodas

From Tennessee here, and Mello yello was my jam growing up! Now that I live closer to Seattle...I can't hardly find it at all.
PLS BRING BACK JEN MAKE HER THE HOST FOR A DAY OR SOMETHING
I love Diet Pepsi. I was thrilled when Link agreed :)
I love Dr pepper it's the best drink I'd knit think I've tried diet though I love Pepsi max cherry though
Diet Dr Pepper is amazing when Rhett said that right away i was hype
if you want to drink diet drinks to me clear is always better like Sprite or Sierra Mist to me tastes way better
HAMMERonRUclips if you like those you should try fresca (it's only diet). It's pomegranate instead of citrus but you may like it. Just bringing it up because I like the diet versions of both of those and like fresca
Little Sweet would be so happy that Rhett chooses his drink lol LITTLE SWEEEEET!🎼
Rhett's know-it-allness would drive me crazy if i were Link!😨
I'm with Link.... Pepsi in a can ALWAYS reminds me of fishing with my Dad.
Rhett......correlation does not equal causation.
Diet A&W and Diet Sunkist are the best along with Sprite Zero
How is 90 calories a lot, for one drink when u can have like 2000-2500 a day?
Its not always about the calories is about what nutrition do they give, how many would u have to drink to get some type of nutrition.
Its not really about the calories but You shouldnt drink your calories.
I loved the intro “Welcome to good mythical more
Watching while drinking my cough syrup
Ymm
Dr Pepper.
Hearing them opening a can sounds so good
Fun fact: Pepsi was invented after refrigerators and was meant to be drank cold. Coke was invented BEFORE fridges and originally drank warm. If you drink warm Coke and cold Pepsi, they are meant to taste the same.
I read that the aspartame research was done on mice and they used a way higher dose than any human would normally ingest.
Coke zero is the best. People just don't understand 🤣🤣🤣
1:38 i'm taking that 'Open your doors' and turning into my doorbell, when ever someone rings the bells it'll be Link saying 'Open your doors' lol.
Why does Link just have a slice of bread?
Forreal
palate cleanser perhaps?
Why do people comment before watching the full video?
@@forkboy3309 For real. There's no reason to not know, lmao!
I laughed so much watching this! Just wanna say thanks so much for continuing the show in the summer.

RC Cola already did
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE ROYAL CROWN GUARD
Pepsi Max easily does
The real winner is A&W Diet Root Beer. It's not only the best tasting diet soda, it's the best tasting of all sodas.
Im a Mountain Dew guy
Dak That Gamer pitch black n dew s a
He'll yeah
The sound of the cans opening is the best
Dr. Pepper is the best soda out there (besides BigRed)
The improve at 10:13 is so great but flys way under the radar
Pepsi Max for me. I actually prefer diet coke to coke zero.
LINK’S IMPRESSION OF HERMET THE FROG IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing Mello Yello is good for is making you wish you had a Mtn Dew.
They're cracking open some cold ones with the boys
The real question is if the soda were boiled for safety.
Coke>pepsi
Diet coke< diet pepsi
Fanta>sunkist
Dr pepper> diet dr pepper
Pepsi max is the best
All sodas are made differently in different countries.
the taste may differ from country to country
They need to make a hat that says "Crapalicious"
I love how @10:15 they just sync up automatically on the joke lol.
My favorite is pepsi max :)
you an still buy pepsi max where i live.
Yeah Pepsi max is pretty good and I don’t even like Pepsi
just found this channel and these guys are great
