My personal favourite has to be the water-ice combo, ABSOLUTELY SLAPS everytime!
My personal favourite twist on it, chilled water straight out of the fridge, no ice needed
Slaps, especially at like late at night
Thats a good one@@RaptrRamblings
Why thank you :)
Nah your favorites are trash, mine is water plus the cup you used to drink milk in the sink that you forgot had leftover milk in
@@mouseissus950lol
Santi being a bartender is that kind of information you learn and it's like "woah, really?" and then you go "wait, no, actually. Yeah, I'm surprised I didn't guess that already."
For a chuggable, low carbonation sugar rush, we had something that we called Hulk juice,
1 part blue powerade
1 part Hi-C orange
3 parts sprite
.5 part lemonade
It was *very* green and the sugar rush + electrolytes was a decent replacement for caffeine
Ima try this cuz I love blue power aid n I always add lemonade to mine
i definitely have to try this now. I've only ever just mixed blue powerade and rootbeer and called it the hulk
... Low carbonation??? This is using McDonald's sprite 😭
@@HowManySmall you'd be surprised how much the other things mellow it out
Except sugar has been proven to not make you hyper. That drink isn't doing anything for energy. Sounds good though.
Every single time i went to my aunt as a kid she would give me this mysterious drink she called 'a spacey' and it was so good so i asked my mom to buy some, but it wasn't anywhere in the supermarkets. I just last year found out it was just cola and fanta mixed together.
In Germany they call that mix a "Spetzi". It's my favourite as well.
thats what i just wanted to say i personally dont like spezi but my father loves it@@edvinsoderlund7972
What flavor Fanta though?
@@mattjohnson1953 just normal European fanta (its better)
@@mattjohnson1953 the normal orange one! Spezi is the best ever! We even have it pre mixed from CocaCola here in Germany, called MezzoMix :D
If you get a swamp water that looks mostly green, it's called the Yoda Soda.
I had one I called the hulk as a teen.
I never really knew it was called swamp water so i would just call anything thats mostly green “swamp soda”
I made it and called it Shrek juice
No it’s slurp juice
@@enolopanr9820shrek’s creamy stuff juice
This is so interesting because as an Australian I've never had any of this "swamp water" because our fast food restaurants don't really have those soda fountains (at least not the self serve kind). Kinda interested to try it out tho and mix up my own stuff
not entirely true, i'm also aussie and where/when I grew up, the Hungry Jacks stores all had diy unlimited refill machines. It's just a couple decades ago so maybe they've changed it recently. I wanted to see them mixing Solo/Lift into the mix, instead of say sprite
I think solo and lift are Australian only.
In Germany they market mixed soda drinks, such as Mezzo Mix (cola and orange soda), and every German kid grows up knowing what a Spezi is (equal parts cola, orange soda and Sprite/what we call lemonade)
I am pretty sure Spezi doesn't include Sprite, at least not in my mind?
@@mightygreen3364 yeah spezi just tastes like Fanta and coke. Though Sprite doesn't add much and just waters the flavours down
Wait, then what is normal lemonade is sprite is lemonade? Since sprite is a lemon lime soda, what is the American lemonade called in Germany
@@stormtroopert16 that is not a drink that people make, and it’s not one people can buy easily either. Lemons don’t grow easily in Germany, so it’s not really one we think about
@@mightygreen3364 I’m sure regionally it varies, but in North Germany that’s what I was taught at the 90s Pizza Hut drink dispenser hahaha
The complexity of the soda fountain mix options are definitely underrated and underexplored. It stands as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity.

Worked at a restaurant for about 5 years, where I found the secret flavor combination to get Baja blast. It was so spot on, some of my regulars started requesting it (Baja blast with Mexican food is a match made in heaven)
Half sprite
Quarter lemonade
Quarter blue Powerade
Squeeze quarter lime and garnish with lime wedge🤌
not all heroes wear a cape, and you are one of em
I, I want to try this so bad now
Someone tag the fast food secrets guy
@@charlielyster6223I think his YT at is @jordan_the_stallion8

I would actually like to see this one revisited, with STRAWS thrown into the equation.
When you drink from a cup, you're drinking from the top of the mix. But when you drink from a straw, you're drinking from the bottom. How would that affect the flavor profile?
yesss, its also a fact that straws change the flavour of things: they can be used to hide the flavour of things
Now I can hide the flavor of my d****d drinks
It also affects the carbonation when you drink through a straw. Which is why McDonald’s has a patent on their straws because they have a specific design to make the drink taste a good as possible.
If it’s well-mixed enough at a high temperature before making its temperature lower and you drink it through a McDonald’s straw specifically, it should taste the same if not a little bit less sweet
21:38 Sam, buddy. I get your point, but I would absolutely ask Da Vinci about fractions of blue in The Last Supper. He’d probably know the mass of the pigments, too.
pretty sure a lot of historical painters would have known how to calculate very precise measurements
@@Mehmi888 yeah, you’re right
Yeah, otherwise how would they be able to accurately reproduce colours without having to do trial and error matching every time... Also paints generally change colour wet to dry (and pigments can also oxidise when mixed/wettened) so knowing your ratios for the final colour you want when dry takes the guesswork out of it 😊
I love the fact that these guys are so Scientifically passionate about explaining soda mix
lol
Not only that we literally watch this for half an hour straight
Just 2 guys (and the whole team) just drinking 😶
And somehow I find this fun ;)
14:13 this NEEDS to be santis png when he takes over the channel
PLEASE make it happen!
Agreed, I put my vote in as “yes, please!”
I vote yes.
yes
Yes
Yes
For a more fruity mix without dark sodas: sprite, orange soda, pink lemonade, fruit punch (also an overlooked option at some soda fountains) topped with more sprite. I've been doing this one for years!
Okay mine is Coke with a small bit of orange Fanta like 80 20 it tastes like a better crème soda
It’s really smart how mat had Santi in these final episodes SO much more to make the host change Even smoother than it already is. Bravo Theorist
The coke/fanta blend is so popular in Germany, it’s sold as it’s own flavor (Spezi)
And if it's from the Coca-Cola Company it's called Mezzo Mix
Europäisches Fanta ist aber auch ganz anders (besser)
or in the Rheinland it's called Diesel
@@princey2825 i know Diesel for Beer with Coke
@@SanaraHikari thats crazy, differnt country or different region of germany?
I love how mats first reaction at about 14:20 is not "ew thats gross' but instead laughter. years of eating gross food really does get to u
Honestly I'm concerned about his sanity. Maybe it's good that he retired. Between the gross food experiments and FNaF theories, I'd hate to see what would happen if he continued.
thats his reaction to too many things lol
I tried the merhods used in this and have found my new favorite mix. One part cherry coke, one part diet coke, two parts blue powerade. I work at a gas syation and i tried this with an actual fountain. Yes it does in fact make it better. Ice is a nice addition as well. Hope you try this sometime mat😊
I once worked at my local Arby’s and for lunch I would take a cup and fill it with the following;
Sprite, Lemonade, Powerade, and finally, Unsweetened Tea.
I never really figured out how much of each I just judged the amounts on my own. And in rare occasions if I felt like it I added a tiny part of water if I wanted more drink but felt I already had enough of the sugars and carbonation.
i absolutely love soda mixing , as someone who works at a gas station/ restaurant and gets free drink i’m a gigantic fan of mixing things , multiple mtn dews mixed with sprite are almost always good , and tea mixed with soda is kinda great

i worked in a kitchen for a while and a personal favorite mix is 1/2 blue powerade, 1/4 sprite, 1/4 orange fanta, with ice. kept me hydrated pretty well and kept it interesting
Interesting. I’m gonna try this one
try dr.peper 50% cola 49% and 1% fruit punch or anything fruity
I did a splash of coke but it was just to make it look grosser
This video is super relatable because I mix a bunch of different sodas all the time when I eat at a restaurant with a soda machine.
I once for some reason had a metal cup at a soda fountain (they were provided I dont remember) and it really worked with that mixture
I do this with mocktail or cocktails. Can say my favorite is 1/5 cup mangosirup, 2/5 cup lemonsoda, 1/5 cup tapwater or ice and 1/5 cup either Coconutrum or elderflowersirup
My favorite was always going down the line, but of different Sprite flavors. It tastes like a handful of Wildberry Skittles eaten all at once. That method made me fall in love with mixing sodas!
I used to always mix roughly 25% sprite, 50% lemonade, and 25% hi-c as a kid. Adding the orange at the end is so satisfying to watch. It's carbonated citrus heaven.
Yessss that was my go to as a kid. Fizzy citrus fiend
E
Same!!
Yooooo, I did almost the exact same!
wait do they still have hi-c

for me, i call them mashups and my fave is pepsi max cherry with some fanta lemon topped off with a bit of apple and blackcurrant squash (yes, it does appear in soda fountains in england) honestly, the squash makes it so good
Seeing the term *unaliving yourself* beverage actually brought back some good ole ohioan memories. I have a brother who is 10 years older than me, so he showed me a lot of stuff when I was younger, and I distinctly remember being in a McDonalds seeing my brother put all the drinks together, and so I did the same, and me being in the range of 4-6, the sweetness was the BEST. So I asked him what it was called so that I could order it at a sit-down restaurant and he said it was a "fountain *unalive*"
So little me, not knowing what that second word meant told my mom I was going to tell the next waiter I saw that I wanted one, but she said no for obvious reasons
I know its an outdated term, but it legitimately brought back some fun memories :)
I’m gonna miss you, Matpat 🫡

Love how Santi is horrified at how the Pepsi Mix could taste so bad, but Mat is more curious about how the Pepsi Mix could taste so bad. Different minds make different finds I suppose.
just take one large cup and pour every drink at the bucee’s lineup (if you haven’t been to a bucees i HIGHLY recommend it) including juice, icee and coffee with espresso and creamer and swirl it up to make popsicles at home, every lick and taste of that popsicle is like *insert drug here*
Adderall
my personal favorite, you know that ORS packets given to patients when they suffer from vomiting/diarrhea, just that with soda (carbonated water) and a lime, gosh it this the best refreshing drink i ve ever had thru my throat in my entire life
lol, i was just drinking ORS right now.
Please do tell what brand and flavour ORS you are using cause different brands taste way different from each other.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet..but this episode reminded me of visiting any of the local soda shops in my area. I'm from Utah, where the soda addictions are truly next level, and this is child's play. You haven't tasted hurricane until you taste the unlikely mix of 2 sodas, 3 flavor syrups, coffee creamer, and a splash of monster all in a 44 once cup! My personal favorite is called a Cocolada: coke, whip cream, pineapple, and coconut.
hahaha ikr, I was like "these people have clearly never been to Utah"
Utahns are like either never touched soda or the ultimate hurricane soda addict.
Pineapple, Coconut and coke is just a malibu and coke with out the alcohol... Whip cream? ew
we have a syrup stand for coffees at the gas station i work at. im a big cherry fan so i go 1 third coke, one third sprite and one sixth dr p and code red with one splash mocha syrup makes a good sip. if you add energy ( our fountains have four auxilary syrups you can choose after the soda) id reccomend a second mocha splash or vanilla splash to settle the bitterness. its not named yet but i find it to be pretty good.
@SuperLifestream i dont do carbonation so i do lemonade instead, but for me, the cream is TANTAMOUNT. its not whip cream, its usually just half and half. if im just mixing something at home i'll sometimes use heavy cream, both work. the tartness and overbearing sweetness from all the flavor shots get taken down to a manageable level, and it adds a certain depth to it. (side note: my usual orders end up being passionfruit, raspberry, peach, and vanilla cream)
I live 8 miles from Utah, and yeah, y'all's soda addiction is pretty wild. I chalk it up to the "no hot caffeine" rule of a certain ubiquitous religious organization. 😒
Heck, a great deal of my LDS friends call Mountain Dew "Mormon coffee"!
But since we ARE talking about Utah and the word "hurricane", it only feels right that it be pronounced the way the city in Utah is - Hurrikin! 😂
Making soda blends for myself was a top tier part of working fast food
One of my favorite tricks I learned at a summer camp on a college campus was when combining Mountain Dew with equal parts blue Powerade (and SPECIFICALLY POWERADE) it tastes and looks almost exactly the same as Baja Blast
11:53 you should actually do a episode on if orange soda really is the reason why kel acts the way he does. That sounds like a great idea

i like to mix milk and coke 50/50
Nah this ain’t it

at 13:20 there's a big block of code-like text that shows up for two frames. not sure what it says or if it's even supposed to be there so i'll just leave it to someone else to figure out
Nice
It _might_ have something to do with the graphics of the Pepsi can that shows up at the exact same spot a billionth of a second later. Maybe. You be the judge.
I think thats just an editing mistake or something like that. On the bottom it´s referring to the support email of "the foundry" which seems to just be a software developer for content creators and such.
seems like it
@@chienonazo
I paused at the right moment, yeah it’s just an editing mistake. Probably the pepsi pdf as someone stated
I go with waterver is available, SOMETIMES adding sweet tea and/or lemonade helps a lot. If you do add them, make sure it is not contradicting with the other stuff. Also, it is very hard to make a mixed soda with all the drinks, but not impossible.
My go-to with the Coke freestyle machines is "The Disinguished Englishman": a 7:3 or 6:4 ratio of _Segram's_ and Grape-infused _Sprite Zero_ .
A home inspiration of the _Schwepp's Dry Grape_ ginger ale.
Never have I felt more compelled to comment on a Food Theory Video.
To start, I have been making "self unaliveing" beverages from about as far back as I can remember being presented drink options and choosing all. As a mater of fact I just enjoyed such a mixed beverage with the dinner I consumed watching this video.
As a chemistry major in college, I actively made a concerted effort to evaluate the concoctions I crafted. However, I feel that my results are drastically different due to several key preferences:
1. I don't like ice in my drinks (hurts my teeth and waters down the flavor over time)
2. I generally prefer fruity and citrus flavors over coke related flavors
3. I can enjoy a very strong sugar flavor in drinks so long as they are also very sour
4. I never experimented with the mix order as I was often drinking through straws (in college) or letting the drinks mix before consuming
Some of the major realizations I had were as follows:
1. Light and dark rarely mix well (as shown by the sprite + coke in the video)
2. less citrusy fruit flavors (cherry, strawberry, grape, blueberry, blackberry, etc.) work well to bridge the gap and can work well both with dark sodas as well as light ones. (sadly despite my love of cheerwine, its inclusion would often water down the resulting mixture, instead of adding its unique cherry flavor)
3. honestly, my favorite combinations include mixing real fruit juices with sodas, but as this video is about exclusively what is on tap i will refrain from delving into that particular tangent
With all of that being said, here are 3 of the concoctions I have come to enjoy over the years (note %'s would vary depending on daily preference)
1. 45% Cherry Coke + 45% Root Beer + 10% Dr. Pepper - my go to dark drink in college for when I felt so inclined. interestingly the coke and root beer alone would foam excessively developing quite a "head" (this was detrimental to rapidly filling up the cup) but adding just the 10% of dr. pepper would reduce the foam considerably.
2. 30% Mtn Dew Baha Blast + 20% Mtn Dew + 10% Sierra Mist + 20% Tropicana Fruit Punch + 10% Lemonade + 10% Mango Brisk Iced Tea - Taco Bell staple both acidic and fruity
3. 30% Cherry Limeade + 20% Raspberry Fanta + 20% Grape Powerade + 20% Mello Yellow (classic) + 10% Orange Sprite - for Coke freestyle machines, many different variations, absolutely prefer the fruit basket approach, the trick is not letting any one fruit flavor become too dominate (like orange)
Please take Santi from 20:00 and use it as a cutout in videos. It's perfect
I always love combining sodas together, I still do it whenever your freely able to pour your own drink from the soda fountain which my favorite combination I randomly came up with is cherry Coca-Cola + root beer and last some Dr Pepper
It depends on what's available for each soda machine but generally i like having Sprite as a base, then i add a flavored iced tea, then Hi-C (preferrably fruit punch), and then lemonade ESPECIALLY marionberry lemonade in that order. The sprite mostly just adds some fizz without affecting the flavor too much, and the mixes of sugary fruit flavors makes it fantastic (if you're like me and prefer juice to coke)
Santi Supreme recipe (26:38)
1 part Dr. Pepper
1 splash Code Red
1 splash Orange Fanta
1 splash Mountain Dew
1 part Blue Powerade
1 part Sprite
1 part Coca-Cola
1 part Diet Coca-Cola
Could probably simplify this to just 3 ingredients:
Santi Select recipe
1 part Dr. Pepper
1 part Blue Powerade
2 parts (Diet) Coca-Cola
But that's just a theory.
We will call this the theory drink
21:46 I can see why Matt said "Oh no!"
@foodtheory my fave mix was pretty simple, I called it dirty punch, you use a bit of sprite, fanta, powerade (blue), and then splash it with either rootbeer if you wanted super sweet, or dr pepper if you didn't want it TOO sweet
I always loved mixing up flavors, and as someone who works at Chuck E. Cheese (that comes with a haunted animatronic by the way) and gets free drinks from two soda fountains, mixing up every single possible combination is heaven for me.
Right now, my go-to combo is mainly Mountain Dew and Fanta, I’ve found that I don’t like how non-sodas like Powerade and fruit punch tend to take away the sharp punch of sodas, and a dash of Mug Root Beer. Only a dash though, because too much Root Beer and Cola overpowers most other flavors.
I used to mix every flavor, but not only did that get old, the mixture of Cola, Diet Cola, and Root Beer really just kinda overpowered everything else.
Anyway this episode was absolutely made for me, thanks MatPat.

“Clearing the d̶i̶g̶e̶s̶t̶i̶v̶e̶ area”
3:55 his friend is such a real one for speaking up
A new mix I've been doing out in the world is Barq's rootbeer with a splash of lemonade. Was a random idea one morning and I ended up loving it.
my personal fave is 3 parts coke and diet coke evenly mixed, and one part root beer with a widdle bit of dr. pepper at the end. Pretty similar to mats honestly.
3:04 just drops a random lore drop like that
I have been drinking my own mix since I was a kid and I’ve been told I’m crazy. It is equal parts lemonade (pink or yellow), root beer, and lemon-lime soda. Traditionally Minute Maid, Barqs, and Sprite from a McDonalds fountain. I never had a dedicated order for layering though.
I have 4 more theories to get through before the grand finale (crying) as someone who doesn't really like horror, and doesn't spend money on beauty products yet (teenager) this is my FAV channel... sad to let mat go, but so excited for whats to come.
I haven't done my fav mix in years (mainly because I drink less soda now), but as a kid I have fond memories of going specifically to Fuddruckers and mixing cherry pepsi with orange soda (apparently I just really like citric acid), with more pepsi than orange in that mix. This episode makes me want to try that again then also try a coke version.
20:18 a bit off topic but i just had to give props to the editors making the ice transparent so you can still see the background is a good attention to detail
22:16 is now gonna go down in history
E
I atuck to the pepsi fountains when i was regularly refilling my cup. 50/50 mountain dew and code red was my go-to. With the advent of the freestyle machines, I've switched to 2/3rds Raspberry ginger ale and 1/3rd lime ginger ale.
A fun follow up to this episode would be the best combos for shaved ice!
It’s been YEARS since I’ve had an “unaliving yourself” drink!! I’d enjoy these at Skate City growing up. Awesome episode Mat Pat!! Appreciate the nostalgia😁
When I was a kid, I wasn’t allowed to have a drink from a fast food restaurant often but when we ate inside I was and I used to mix the blue Powerade and pib extra now I haven’t tried it in years, but as a kid, I remember absolutely loving it
"Battery acid"
2/5 code red
1/5 lemonade
1/5 sprite
1/5 diet coke
If you don't have code red you can change it out with another fruit flavored pop.
I loved the Intro before the intro ! 🎉 Great Script!
sprite and lemon tea is pretty good especially heaven and earth
for those who are wondering the order its pour sprite until bubbles are full then wait awhile and pour the lemon tea
My favorite blend is 60% Hi-C fruit punch with 40% Minute Maid lemon-lime lemonade
A good one is lemonade, sweat tea, and fruit punch hi c. It tastes like a rainbow icee (all the flavors mixed together).
before getting fully into the video i have to say:
my college has two drink fountains in the cafeteria and one has pepsi products and the other has coke, i like mixing for crazy colors, and one day i mixed a little bit of blue powerade into my mnt dew and good lord its good. its my go to drink now and if you ever get the chance i encourage you to try.
4:30 “A bunch of kids wanting to mix their soda’s together”
- MatPat 2024
One classic mix I always did when I was a kid was Fanta orange, Sprite and some fruit punch. Since there are new soda fountains with mixtures within original it would be interesting to make pop mixes of.
Dr Pepper + 7UP = 'Blue Moon' flavor. It's best 1/3 2/3, but I forgot which way.
I do 1/2 cherry coke and 1/2 lime coke whenever I go to a local sub place near me and it hits everytime. So good.
My preferred blend is 25% coke, 10% root beer, 15% Sprite, 50% Nestea (brisk iced tea if you're in the states).
I dont like too much fizz so the nestea makes it more smooth.
Subsituting the coke for a cherry coke or the rootbeer for Dr pepper is also really nice if i want a cherry flavoured vers.
1:50 i dont think thats any better bro

Used to mix sodas all the time as a kid. I don’t remember a specific recipe but used various combinations of Root Beer, Cream Soda, Ginger Ale, Dr Pepper and Sunkist.

I always mix Sprite with any of the non-carbonated drinks (gatorade, lemonade, Hi-C)
Sprite/Starry with Lemonade/Pink Lemonade is delicious and refreshing. Tart and highly carbonated. It's similar to Squirt but less harsh, imo

As a Brit, it is wild to me seeing the portion size of all those bottles lined up at 23:22, especially the diet coke. I understand that one is meant to contain several servings, but the sprite sized bottles look 50% bigger than what we have over here.
Now you see why America has an obesity problem
Yep
Stopping video at the intro so I can type. When I was a kid, my two brothers and my parents would go to the Sam’s Club once a month for our “Big Shop” grocery night. There was a little restaurant in the store and they had a BIG one of the dispensers, it must have had like twenty sodas in it. My littlest brother loved to make the suicide drinks, mix all the flavors in the fountain into one cup. Once, and only once. It tasted like Bubblegum. We would spend months trying to find that perfect combination, and never succeed. Can’t wait to see what you come up with Team!
Literally my childhood lol.
My fave mix is 60% power aide blue, minute maide lemonade, and a little mountain dew regular or voltage
The "Shewk Water. Owo." Caused me to burst out laughing! That was not what I could have ever expected and it was delightful.
OwO, what’s this?
In the UK, or at least where I am, I don't often see drink dispensers where you can fill them yourself. Normally, you just order a set drink, and that's it. Though I do see them at buffet restaurants and mixing different flavours is quite fun. I think my personal favourite has been Sunkist orange with Sunkist Lemon and Lime. My brother recently tried Coke, Diet Coke, and Irn Brun and said it was pretty good. Also, UK Fanta is so much lighter than US Fanta. The difference is night and day! Thanks for another fun and interesting video, MatPat.
I can think of Nandos, Toby Carvery, Five Guys and Wingstop though these restaurants aren't in every part of the UK
my partner and i love to mix ginger ale and apple juice when we travel by plane. it’s a super rare treat for us, it just doesn’t hit the same without the altitude!
YESS sparkling water,Apple juice, and sometimes a little orange juice is so goood
i remember being 8 and stuck at a family party with my cousin and he told me to try sprite and coke and i still remake it once in a while bc i miss it, we don't really talk anymore tho but still :)

My favorite mixes is when I go to cici’s pizza and mix all the drinks left to right with sweet tea ( make sure it’s sweet tea) and don’t add any ice. Me and my friends call it “diabetes in a cup”. It’s amazing but you can mainly taster root beer
I love mixing 2 parts Dr. Pepper with 1 part ginger ale (or something along those lines) whenever I set foot in a panera bread.
