People are talking about how "crazy" all these theories are, but this video in particular is 100% sensible and rational, I don't know what y'all are on about, or at least why you're saying it here.
The heat-vulnerability of DNA was the first thing that came to my mind when you listed all of those articles. Temperature is one of the most disruptive aspects in laboratories and longer molecules break easily when exposed to an increase of temperature. They searched for something that couldn't be found.
That and all of the other ingredients in the tuna salad mix were among my thoughts for why labs would refuse to participate. Besides, subway probably is using their business records in the lawsuit as their defence to show they are sourcing tuna. Then all of these gotcha articles and declining sales (across the board and for just tuna sandwiches) would be the perfect set up for a counter suit for damages
I'm all for this concept, as it holds up. So my question is, how could another lab then definitively later state that it did in fact find *intact* tuna DNA to "prove" the tuna was real? That's where it actually makes me doubt the validity. I was with the argument of the DNA testing being a bad way to find the answer, but for another lab to actually find DNA? There are so many questions that arise.
@@allanreele8352 I haven't actually looked at the methods of either of the companies, but there are certainly ways to verify the presence of partially destroyed DNA and species in samples (think of how we're able to look at Neanderthal DNA). If a company says they have a specific test for a fish species, they are likely doing a simple PCR test, similar to how COVID saliva tests are done. This looks for a small fragment of identifiable DNA in the sample, which more likely to be missing in a highly degraded sample. A more thorough test could involve a survey of all of the DNA in the sample. I don't get into the details, but this is much more expensive and probably wouldn't be affordable on a single NYT article budget. Although I doubt the other company did this, so maybe they just did PCR but checked for more specific fragments? It did say they specialized in fish. I find it believable, personally.
@@tomhodder8904 yea I was gonna say pcr/gel electrophoresis thing is tho with aged samples ( Neanderthal bone fragment ect) a lot of them having living phylogenetically comparable relative with which dna is shared so I think because the dna is so degraded in the tuna they’d have to rule out what it’s not first through comparison to other suspected animal types

If I had a nickel for every time Subway was accused of having a falsely advertised food, I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
To be fair I've seen a good share of questionable content from main stream news sources including the New York Times. On the other hand the theory channel videos tend to either be seriously researched (like this one) or obvious jokes (like Kirby or Mario being evil which makes for fun videos but obviously don't hold up).
I love how all of the studies in the news found that there was no way to know what kind of fish it was. Not because it wasn't tuna, but because the lab kept telling people, "once it's cooked and mixed with mayo and then frozen you can't derive enough DNA to know what it was at all. They also said that there was no way to know from a cooked fish at all accurately what type of fish a cooked piece of fish is." Basically, the labs have ALWAYS said it was most likely tuna but there was no way to tell and please stop asking us but the news just ran with "We got 5 whole foot longs from 5 whole stores and OMG the lab said they can't tell what it is!" This has NEVER been in question. The stories are dumb.
Yep, besides why the heck do they cook the Tuna? When I make Tuna Salad sandwiches at home I just open the can Drain and Rinse the Tuna then toss it in the bowl and mix in my ingredients. The Tuna doesn't get cooked before processing/canning it. Also the process they use to can it is very careful about any heat near the Tuna.
@@josephpyott9408 not always depends on the brand/quality. I have had cans of Tuna that the Tuna is same color as a fillet of frozen tuna. Still Pink and stuff when Tuna gets cooked it changes color to a whitish/gray color.
9:10 Mat Pat, as someone taking college statistics, I'm glad you put this information out. Actually reading and considering statistics is so crucial in coming to a concrete, factual conclusion instead of believing a headline you take 3 seconds to read. I see a lot of people - and friends - do this and it only spreads false claims and, many times, negative consequences and hurt to others. I see credited testing firms that fail to use proper types of samples, significance tests, etc. that produce representative results of populations, and they never share their calculations either. That's incredibly suspicious, as we learn in Uni to *always* show our process and work. I've also friends and even past teachers claim statistics are useless when they are crucial in creating a truthful, safe world. Statistics are so important; I can't stress that enough. edit: I know this video is only about fish, but the lesson is universal. Don't believe what you see/hear/read on a surface level. Consider the data and judge for *yourself* (not just the article's conclusion) if it is representative data.

I asked my brother who worked at Subway about this and all he said was "That information is classified" with a serious tone, while adjusting his glasses like an anime character
I appreciate you saying "traditionally credible" about NYT. Nice way of saying "people expect them to be trustworthy, and they used to be, but now... ehhhhhhhhhhh...?"
I agree but this still problematic. If fish dna breaks down and becomes indistinguishable from other fish while heated. Then they could in theory be selling trash fish as tuna and marking the price up for Tuna and false advertising for tuna. That is assuming what MatPat has here is accurate. They could take a fish like the Orange Roughie and sell it for tuna, there are a lot of places that mislead buyers on what a fish actually is. Restaurants often sell fish that is not the fish they are saying it is. Simply because the buyer doesn't know better. But lets be clear here. Even if it was a different breed of Tuna, thats still a scandal. They advertise as using two of fifteen species and only those two. So if they use the other kinds that is still a straight up lie being told to the consumer who cannot really defend themselves from such false marketing and claims.
@@TheLastSane1 I find gaps in this theory. You said that the common buyer can't tell the difference between good fish and bad fish. Why would Subway use bad fish and say that they use good fish, when it won't bring them ANY advantages and possibly get them in trouble? The common consumer wouldn't be able to tell that Subway is saying they use good fish, and probably not be able to tell that the fish is bad. If Subway actually used bad fish, there is no point in saying their fish is good when they get no additional profits because the common buyer won't understand that they are saying they use good fish. Plus, like I said it will get them in trouble. All in all, there is no reason for Subway to do what you said, which was use a different fish than they are advertising. You could argue that they could do it trick people, but you said yourself that there is no difference between tricking them and not tricking them because the consumer cannot see what kind of fish is good, and what kind is bad. My point is that if Subway did what you say they could do, it would be a lose-lose situation for them because there is no advantage and only disadvantage. And there is no advantage because the common consumer can't see if something, aka the fish, is good or bad. *If you have read to this point, I think you can see where I am going with this.* _Your theory's logic can also go against your theory at the same time, so this why I am having doubts on it._
@@thatguynamedgeorge9218 Well there is the marketing angle of it. Advertising Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna which are two of the more expensive tuna, they are suppose to be higher quality, etc. If a company said they where giving you real gold and instead were giving you fools gold, you might notbe able to immediate tell the difference if you had no experience with either the company would definitely claim it was real gold if there was a way for them to muddy up tests to make sure you could never prove its not. Using lower quality fish (Trash fish is a industry term the fish are still edible just not as well bought) means its likely to be less expensive. You could buy more of say Orange Roughie per lbs per dollar than quality tuna. So if they are spending less money on the fish, but then can sell it as if its the higher quality fish they make money and save money. The rule of thumb in business is never pay more than you absolutely have too. I have an associates degree in business management, I am going off what I have learned only.
@@TheLastSane1 Although within legal loopholes. They could mix those expensive varieties with cheaper varieties and only be 51% of the expensive kind and still can legally/technically claim it is that.
@@morrigankasa570 This is true, but it would certainly hurt their public image now wouldn't it? My point remains that the process that MatPat says clears them could just as easily be used to cover for their mis-direct.
As a current subway employee, I always laugh hearing about this whole tuna fiasco. I know for a fact the tuna is actual tuna. After all, I prep it at work all the time 😆
As an up until recently subway employee, I'm not sure how you're so certain, at least at my store, it came pre bagged and cooked, and labeled as tuna, but that doesn't inherently mean it is/was tuna, it could have been mislabeled, not saying it was or wasn't, but I wasn't so quick to dismiss the claims.
@@LanceAtlas Honestly, I think anyone who tastes it should be able to tell it's real tuna. If Subway was capable of making something taste like tuna, that wasn't tuna, not even fish ... that would be quite the accomplishment.
@@SilvyReacts I was more just agreeing that a subway employee who gets it out of the bag isn't fully qualified to verify its prepackaged authenticity, but the packing personnel would be better qualified.

No lab worth it's salts would have taken this on to begin with. It's well known the canning process makes conclusive DNA results impossible. It's all BS. The only way you could know if subway is actually using tuna is to find the company that provides the product and litteraly observe if it is buying/catching and delivering Tuna.
@@exturkconner if you dont test the fish before it got processed its like looking for wheat DNA in toasted bread. And if you dont find any to just claim: bread dont contain no grain...
Because kids would eat lots of food till they're full to the brim, going swimming directly after and not realising they've became too tired to make it back to land and drown. You need to give your stomach some time to digest before exercising again.
Eating stimulates digestion and so does the pressure of being immersed, so keep the kids out of the pool for a while and encourage them to go to the bathroom if needed. When a brown shark is spotted in the pool the party is over. 🏊 💩
That one's not a myth. Eating and being submerged in water both push your system to poop. No one is worried about what you *just* ate, but what you ate *yesterday*.
A similar theory what's the most food you can get for the least amount of money from various fast food restaurants barring coupons, promos, offers, etc. This does not take away dollar menus and such as those are constants on the menu while promos, coupons, etc are limited use and constantly changing
The simple answer? If you always go there anyway, its a good rewards program. If you don't normally go there, if you choose it only for the rewards program, its worthless. Same with any sort of rewards program anywhere. Why? Because in general, its a fair amount of money to save pennies. If you would be going there anyway, then that's fine. You are, over time, saving money just because you're there anyway. They would already be getting your money, so you're getting a bit back here and there. Never serious amounts because its always cheap food or drink items and often times are far from their best items, so if you go all of the time anyways its very unlikely you'll even want what they offer, but that's a little more tricky to tell. But if you are going just for the rewards program, they've caught you. Now you are spending money specifically with the idea of trying to save money, its counterintuitive. Like BOGO sales and stuff. They have convinced you to spend more than you would have otherwise, or even redirected the same money you'd have spent just to them instead of elsewhere (in which case it likely won't be what you want anyway). I'll just use one specific example. The McDonald's coffee rewards. Buy enough coffees and get a free small coffee. If you buy McDonald's coffee every day anyway, great. You're not spending anything more than you would have without the rewards program, and every now and then you get a free coffee. A free *small* coffee. And if you drink a lot of coffee... Well, odds are even the day you get a free one, you'll still be buying another just because its only a small. But if you normally have a small anyway, then you are saving a couple bucks. Its a very small savings, but you were getting that coffee anyway. But if you decide to start getting McDonald's coffee just for that rewards program... Well, either you're now buying a coffee that you wouldn't have bothered with otherwise, meaning they convinced you to buy something you didn't need or want so you can get something. Something you, again, didn't really want except that it was free. And if you would have bought a coffee anyway, just from elsewhere... Well, odds are its because you don't like the McDonald's coffee anyway, at least not as much as what you'd normally get. Whether because its not as good in taste and quality or because its not as good in value. So now they've redirected your payment from what you actually want to something that's not really what you want, again just so you can get something you don't really want for free. Or try Subway. Earn 4 tokens for every dollar you spend, and at 200 tokens you get $2 off (in Canada, at least, reward might be different elsewhere). If you always go to Subway, great. You're spending the same amount anyway earning the discount and then you get a cheaper order now and then. This means you either save money on what you normally buy, or maybe convinces you to try something else using the discount. Either way, its money they would get anyway for a bonus you wouldn't get otherwise. But if you prefer Mr. Sub or Quiznos, or even don't like subs as much as burgers and prefer McDonald's... Well, what's the point? Very easy to get rewards, and it doesn't matter what you order there. But if you are only going for that reward, you don't care for the food enough for it to be worth it. Not to mention even if you do like Subway, you just don't go very often, the rewards expire after a few months, encouraging you to go more often than you would otherwise. Overall, you're spending more money than you would normally or buying something you don't want as much instead of something you want more just to save $2 now and then, but would save more money by not going, or are selling your enjoyment for $2 by getting what you don't actually want. That's just one specific example, but its the same idea everywhere. If you go there often enough anyway, pretty well all are good, as they'll never give one of their best items or a massive discount, but its money you would have spent anyway, making it negligible at worst and a small bonus at best. But if you are picking something specifically for its rewards program, you're losing every time. The only comparison between them all at that point is which has you losing the least. If you're going pure monetary value, the only objective factor, the better option is pretty well always going to be to ignore rewards programs in your decision making. The only thing that ever makes them worth it is completely subjective, a question of "do you like going there enough that you would spend that money anyway?"
maybe the next one you should do is about sausage party. I mean in the movie there clips where you see base product such as cheese, sausage, sauces and other things, but you also see other foods such as Pizza which is a combination of those. so does that mean that the food put together creates one conscious?
Hey! I have one theory for you to study. "What makes a coffee coffee, and a tea, a tea" Does coffee need caffeine content to be considered as coffee and does tea needs to have tea leaves in it to be able to be considered as a tea. And if so, rice coffee (for example) is it a coffee? And if the flower tea is called or labeled as a tea... Does it need to have a tea leaves in it? If then its just a brew.
I think coffee just needs to be made from coffee beans, and tea is too nuanced for me to get into. People just like to label things like other things due to similarities and nothing else

Actually, funny enough, Inside Edition actually made a SECOND video to test the tuna's legitimacy after NY Times published that article. And the fishes also came back as tuna.
NYT is practically a tabloid now. Saying that you're headline is faulty in the story doesn't take away from the fact that they mislead people. That's like saying that just because a cartoon names a parody, means it's forgiven for that parody/trope.
The article was intended to replicate the test that the original plaintiff refused to release, to see what it would be. Their test was not how you investigate Subway, but it IS how you investigate the earlier plaintiff, which was the real focus of their investigation.
Did you read the headline in the video? It doesn't pick a side in the headline. So yes, the lab results are faulty, but MatPat specifically showed that they addressed that in the video. Anyway, this is one of the small little niche articles that they send new reporters to look at on a slow news day. It never made the front page, and wasn't even in the small little footnotes of their daily newsletter. They do very important reporting at the Times (whether it be on China, or Middle Eastern politics, or Capitol Hill), but as a big news publishing giant, they have so many resources that they can't be using for important things all the time, so you get small little articles like this that crop up from time to time. That doesn't make them a tabloid, as literally every single other major news agency does it as well, be it anything from Fox to NPR to the Washington Post.

I love how all of the studies in the news found that there was no way to know what kind of fish it was. Not because it wasn't tuna, but because the lab kept telling people, "once it's cooked and mixed with mayo and then frozen you can't derive enough DNA to know what it was at all. They also said that there was no way to know from a cooked fish at all accurately what type of fish a cooked piece of fish is."
Basically, the labs have ALWAYS said it was most likely tuna but there was no way to tell and please stop asking us but the news just ran with "We got 5 whole foot longs from 5 whole stores and OMG the lab said they can't tell what it is!"
This has NEVER been in question. The stories are dumb.
Yep, besides why the heck do they cook the Tuna? When I make Tuna Salad sandwiches at home I just open the can Drain and Rinse the Tuna then toss it in the bowl and mix in my ingredients. The Tuna doesn't get cooked before processing/canning it. Also the process they use to can it is very careful about any heat near the Tuna.
@@morrigankasa570 The canning process cooks the tuna
@@josephpyott9408 not always depends on the brand/quality. I have had cans of Tuna that the Tuna is same color as a fillet of frozen tuna. Still Pink and stuff when Tuna gets cooked it changes color to a whitish/gray color.
@@morrigankasa570 they probably used can tuna that was cooked
@@morrigankasa570 No. It's always cooked. The canning process needs heat to pasteurize the contents.
Moral of the story: just read articles in full. Might learn something too
I blame paywalls for this phemonena, personally.
9:10 Mat Pat, as someone taking college statistics, I'm glad you put this information out. Actually reading and considering statistics is so crucial in coming to a concrete, factual conclusion instead of believing a headline you take 3 seconds to read. I see a lot of people - and friends - do this and it only spreads false claims and, many times, negative consequences and hurt to others. I see credited testing firms that fail to use proper types of samples, significance tests, etc. that produce representative results of populations, and they never share their calculations either. That's incredibly suspicious, as we learn in Uni to *always* show our process and work. I've also friends and even past teachers claim statistics are useless when they are crucial in creating a truthful, safe world. Statistics are so important; I can't stress that enough.
edit: I know this video is only about fish, but the lesson is universal. Don't believe what you see/hear/read on a surface level. Consider the data and judge for *yourself* (not just the article's conclusion) if it is representative data.
As soon as Matpat said, "DNA is destroyed by heat", i was already convinced.

@@PRDreams Well, pretty much no news organization is credible when it comes to politics.
Not ever
I appreciate you saying "traditionally credible" about NYT. Nice way of saying "people expect them to be trustworthy, and they used to be, but now... ehhhhhhhhhhh...?"
I agree but this still problematic. If fish dna breaks down and becomes indistinguishable from other fish while heated. Then they could in theory be selling trash fish as tuna and marking the price up for Tuna and false advertising for tuna. That is assuming what MatPat has here is accurate. They could take a fish like the Orange Roughie and sell it for tuna, there are a lot of places that mislead buyers on what a fish actually is. Restaurants often sell fish that is not the fish they are saying it is. Simply because the buyer doesn't know better.
But lets be clear here. Even if it was a different breed of Tuna, thats still a scandal. They advertise as using two of fifteen species and only those two. So if they use the other kinds that is still a straight up lie being told to the consumer who cannot really defend themselves from such false marketing and claims.
@@TheLastSane1 I find gaps in this theory.
You said that the common buyer can't tell the difference between good fish and bad fish.
Why would Subway use bad fish and say that they use good fish, when it won't bring them ANY advantages and possibly get them in trouble?
The common consumer wouldn't be able to tell that Subway is saying they use good fish, and probably not be able to tell that the fish is bad.
If Subway actually used bad fish, there is no point in saying their fish is good when they get no additional profits because the common buyer won't understand that they are saying they use good fish.
Plus, like I said it will get them in trouble.
All in all, there is no reason for Subway to do what you said, which was use a different fish than they are advertising. You could argue that they could do it trick people, but you said yourself that there is no difference between tricking them and not tricking them because the consumer cannot see what kind of fish is good, and what kind is bad.
My point is that if Subway did what you say they could do, it would be a lose-lose situation for them because there is no advantage and only disadvantage.
And there is no advantage because the common consumer can't see if something, aka the fish, is good or bad.
*If you have read to this point, I think you can see where I am going with this.*
_Your theory's logic can also go against your theory at the same time, so this why I am having doubts on it._
@@thatguynamedgeorge9218 Well there is the marketing angle of it. Advertising Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna which are two of the more expensive tuna, they are suppose to be higher quality, etc.
If a company said they where giving you real gold and instead were giving you fools gold, you might notbe able to immediate tell the difference if you had no experience with either the company would definitely claim it was real gold if there was a way for them to muddy up tests to make sure you could never prove its not.
Using lower quality fish (Trash fish is a industry term the fish are still edible just not as well bought) means its likely to be less expensive. You could buy more of say Orange Roughie per lbs per dollar than quality tuna. So if they are spending less money on the fish, but then can sell it as if its the higher quality fish they make money and save money.
The rule of thumb in business is never pay more than you absolutely have too. I have an associates degree in business management, I am going off what I have learned only.
@@TheLastSane1 Although within legal loopholes. They could mix those expensive varieties with cheaper varieties and only be 51% of the expensive kind and still can legally/technically claim it is that.
@@morrigankasa570 This is true, but it would certainly hurt their public image now wouldn't it? My point remains that the process that MatPat says clears them could just as easily be used to cover for their mis-direct.

But where's the fun in that
As an up until recently subway employee, I'm not sure how you're so certain, at least at my store, it came pre bagged and cooked, and labeled as tuna, but that doesn't inherently mean it is/was tuna, it could have been mislabeled, not saying it was or wasn't, but I wasn't so quick to dismiss the claims.
The only people really qualified to answer the question are the people who pack and cook the tuna.
@@LanceAtlas
Honestly, I think anyone who tastes it should be able to tell it's real tuna. If Subway was capable of making something taste like tuna, that wasn't tuna, not even fish ... that would be quite the accomplishment.

FOOD THEORY IDEA: The story behind the myth of having to wait 30 minutes before swimming after eating
Because kids would eat lots of food till they're full to the brim, going swimming directly after and not realising they've became too tired to make it back to land and drown. You need to give your stomach some time to digest before exercising again.
Eating stimulates digestion and so does the pressure of being immersed, so keep the kids out of the pool for a while and encourage them to go to the bathroom if needed. When a brown shark is spotted in the pool the party is over. 🏊 💩
That one's not a myth. Eating and being submerged in water both push your system to poop. No one is worried about what you *just* ate, but what you ate *yesterday*.

Food theory idea: how to get the most bang for your buck in fast food reward programs
A similar theory what's the most food you can get for the least amount of money from various fast food restaurants barring coupons, promos, offers, etc. This does not take away dollar menus and such as those are constants on the menu while promos, coupons, etc are limited use and constantly changing
My guess is taco bell since it's probably the most bang for your buck without rewards and it has a pretty decently rewarding programme
This is a good one
isn't "most optimized" redundant? :D
The simple answer? If you always go there anyway, its a good rewards program. If you don't normally go there, if you choose it only for the rewards program, its worthless. Same with any sort of rewards program anywhere.
Why? Because in general, its a fair amount of money to save pennies. If you would be going there anyway, then that's fine. You are, over time, saving money just because you're there anyway. They would already be getting your money, so you're getting a bit back here and there. Never serious amounts because its always cheap food or drink items and often times are far from their best items, so if you go all of the time anyways its very unlikely you'll even want what they offer, but that's a little more tricky to tell.
But if you are going just for the rewards program, they've caught you. Now you are spending money specifically with the idea of trying to save money, its counterintuitive. Like BOGO sales and stuff. They have convinced you to spend more than you would have otherwise, or even redirected the same money you'd have spent just to them instead of elsewhere (in which case it likely won't be what you want anyway).
I'll just use one specific example. The McDonald's coffee rewards. Buy enough coffees and get a free small coffee. If you buy McDonald's coffee every day anyway, great. You're not spending anything more than you would have without the rewards program, and every now and then you get a free coffee. A free *small* coffee. And if you drink a lot of coffee... Well, odds are even the day you get a free one, you'll still be buying another just because its only a small. But if you normally have a small anyway, then you are saving a couple bucks. Its a very small savings, but you were getting that coffee anyway. But if you decide to start getting McDonald's coffee just for that rewards program... Well, either you're now buying a coffee that you wouldn't have bothered with otherwise, meaning they convinced you to buy something you didn't need or want so you can get something. Something you, again, didn't really want except that it was free. And if you would have bought a coffee anyway, just from elsewhere... Well, odds are its because you don't like the McDonald's coffee anyway, at least not as much as what you'd normally get. Whether because its not as good in taste and quality or because its not as good in value. So now they've redirected your payment from what you actually want to something that's not really what you want, again just so you can get something you don't really want for free.
Or try Subway. Earn 4 tokens for every dollar you spend, and at 200 tokens you get $2 off (in Canada, at least, reward might be different elsewhere). If you always go to Subway, great. You're spending the same amount anyway earning the discount and then you get a cheaper order now and then. This means you either save money on what you normally buy, or maybe convinces you to try something else using the discount. Either way, its money they would get anyway for a bonus you wouldn't get otherwise. But if you prefer Mr. Sub or Quiznos, or even don't like subs as much as burgers and prefer McDonald's... Well, what's the point? Very easy to get rewards, and it doesn't matter what you order there. But if you are only going for that reward, you don't care for the food enough for it to be worth it. Not to mention even if you do like Subway, you just don't go very often, the rewards expire after a few months, encouraging you to go more often than you would otherwise. Overall, you're spending more money than you would normally or buying something you don't want as much instead of something you want more just to save $2 now and then, but would save more money by not going, or are selling your enjoyment for $2 by getting what you don't actually want.
That's just one specific example, but its the same idea everywhere. If you go there often enough anyway, pretty well all are good, as they'll never give one of their best items or a massive discount, but its money you would have spent anyway, making it negligible at worst and a small bonus at best. But if you are picking something specifically for its rewards program, you're losing every time. The only comparison between them all at that point is which has you losing the least. If you're going pure monetary value, the only objective factor, the better option is pretty well always going to be to ignore rewards programs in your decision making. The only thing that ever makes them worth it is completely subjective, a question of "do you like going there enough that you would spend that money anyway?"

Hey! I have one theory for you to study.
"What makes a coffee coffee, and a tea, a tea"
Does coffee need caffeine content to be considered as coffee and does tea needs to have tea leaves in it to be able to be considered as a tea. And if so, rice coffee (for example) is it a coffee? And if the flower tea is called or labeled as a tea... Does it need to have a tea leaves in it? If then its just a brew.
I think coffee just needs to be made from coffee beans, and tea is too nuanced for me to get into. People just like to label things like other things due to similarities and nothing else

@@Doublemonk0506 "how could a member of my own family say something so horrible"

NYT is practically a tabloid now. Saying that you're headline is faulty in the story doesn't take away from the fact that they mislead people. That's like saying that just because a cartoon names a parody, means it's forgiven for that parody/trope.
The article was intended to replicate the test that the original plaintiff refused to release, to see what it would be. Their test was not how you investigate Subway, but it IS how you investigate the earlier plaintiff, which was the real focus of their investigation.
Did you read the headline in the video? It doesn't pick a side in the headline. So yes, the lab results are faulty, but MatPat specifically showed that they addressed that in the video. Anyway, this is one of the small little niche articles that they send new reporters to look at on a slow news day. It never made the front page, and wasn't even in the small little footnotes of their daily newsletter. They do very important reporting at the Times (whether it be on China, or Middle Eastern politics, or Capitol Hill), but as a big news publishing giant, they have so many resources that they can't be using for important things all the time, so you get small little articles like this that crop up from time to time. That doesn't make them a tabloid, as literally every single other major news agency does it as well, be it anything from Fox to NPR to the Washington Post.
How is "The Big Tuna Sandwich Mystery" a faulty headline? Or are you one of the hundreds of people in the comments bashing NYT for stuff that they literally didn't do?
@@henrygustavekrausse7459 "We have replicated that expiriment that they refused to release... We will also refuse to release it, but you should just trust us that it says what we tell you because your a dumb pos."
Yea, that's 'real reporting'
This is some *FISHY* situation! 😳
people try to say subway is bad when you make custom subs and have whatever you want one them
I love how matpat tells you a crazy theory and then you believe it 100% by the end
Not always

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who incorporates a video into a message. Thank you, MatPat.
This makes me so mad at all the media outlets that clearly mislead us consumers. 😡😡
That's not new, unfortunately :(

I’d like to say I have seen every single episode of food theory and they have been great
Yeah, the whole accusation kind of falls apart when you look at the details.
Looking at the details, sadly, has never been a strong point for our species. Our default response to anything that isn't important to us is apathy, rarely rising above mild curiosity followed by groupthink mentality. It's kind of humanity's biggest downfall, that we're capable of such immense feats of mental accomplishment yet default to disinterest and assumption without proper stimulation.
@@TheSkyRender humans have the most intelligent database in the world, just most of us lack critical thinking skills. Due to the stupid society we decided to build up and exploit ourselves with then complain and do nothing about, i say its a fair trade. We are paying for our stupidity with a dystopian future. Win win.
It's happening again Mat!!!We all waiting on the part 3 because we love to see you talk about Subway Tuna...that and we're all too lazy to do out own research!!!
" The evidence of absence is not absence of evidence " - i have not heard that Sherlock Holmes like phase in quite some time. Thank you for that MatPat :D
That's concerning. It's a really important rule of science that should be common knowledge
Also you got it backwards
Probably not since 2002 when Rumsfeld used the same line to dupe America?

Being a subway employee, this theories always crack me up
0:13 yes dead tuna that has been roasted, chopped and cut definitely has no undamaged DNA.
Not to mention mixed with a boat load of mayo
Is it possibly identifiable, yes. Would that be easy no. DNA sequencing can be tricky business even with an undamaged sample.
Don’t need to worry. Hoagies I get are at my local corner store. All I have to do is order it online, the receipt is made with the order # on it. And 10 minutes later, it’s ready.
The NY Times wrote a misleading questioning article? No... I for one, am shocked.
NYT being credible. That be the best joke I have heard in a long time
But the real question is: Why do people keep ordering tuna from Subway?
Tuna or not, that stuff is not what I'm picking off the menu first.
About 3-5% of the US population is a pescetarian and it's growing in popularity
Wdym, subway tuna is so good
Seriously. A tuna sub is probably the last kind of sub I would order. Not just from Subway, but from anywhere. I just don't see the appeal personally
You answered the question yourself
“not what I’m picking”
I very much enjoy their tuna

Tomatoes are packed with nutrients, ketchup has none :0

Some people who are allergic to tomatoes are perfectly fine eating ketchup

It’s good that Mat Pat decided to clear this up. He’s got the power to fight misinformation as a big fish on youtube.
