MatPat: “why won’t coke sponsor me”
Also MatPat: “coke does really stupid marketing and their new drink tastes like dirt”
Tastes like toned down vanilla coke mixed with very toned down cherry coke to me. Basically, the only version of those 2 that tastes good
@@RaisinBarXZ550 wow i could not disagree more
@@redditgalaxy1457 lol, seems like everyone can agree on regular coke but everyone has a different opinion on Starlight. Dirt, vanilla, tastes the same as regular coke, or just 'bad'.
I actually like this
@@RaisinBarXZ550 you did not just diss coke cherry
This 1000% has the same vibe as:
"Does lava taste spicy?"
"Actually, since lava is made of a bunch of dirt and rocks, it'll probably taste bland and dusty,"
Actually, would lava even taste anything? Wouldn't it just burn you tastebod, thus making it impossible to taste it at all?
@@marlysedaynou3085 definitely
Burnt, but not tasty
Lava would taste like spicy because spice receptors are the same receptors as actual mouth burning receptors
Basically, if your mouth is on fire, then it's the same feel as if your mouth had a Carolina Reaper in it
lava tastes like hot
Yeah, they also came out with "Dream" flavor, which I haven't had but I'd love to see an episode on it, though, I've lost my taste for cola.
I'm a bit salty on the Odwalla discontinuing.
In my experience, it has a taste but it's hard to describe besides "Unremarkable but wrong".
It taste like a blue tart cotton candy that’s really minty and cold.
Dream flavor is even worse
I liked it. It seemed like mamba gum but eith a bit more fruit
Honestly I think that Starlight is one of the best Coca Cola flavors to date, it has a birthday cake ice cream taste and it makes me feel like a child again.
yeah
Mhm
Sir please fix your taste buds
@@compresant349 Respect their opinion
@@sheshammakothinti679 everyone is entitled to their opinion, this I believe, but that doesn’t mean their opinion is correct
The continuous series of MatPat being jealous of Coke making deals with other people will never stop being funny
That diet coke man
truee
also do yall want to see more team theory content? i do
genius name, by the way
Lolll
Just imagine one day coke and matpat
The first time I tasted the starlight coke, my first thought was
"This taste like the idea that all the stars in the night sky are already dead, but without the associated fear."
It was later explained to me that it is supposed to taste like cotton candy.
I also agree with this.
It’s more cinnamon to me
so it tastes like existecial crisis?
@@merinofanfic4717 basically a mix of cotton candy and cinnamon, it’s one of those drinks that taste gross but you can’t stop drinking it
@@awkwardfreakinperson7936 damnit! I just saw it for the first time and had to buy one. Now I'm not so excited
@@brendanmcmahon1162 lol sorry about that, but what do you think of it?
As someone who watched mlp (still kinda do) I'm sad mat missed the opportunity to use starlight glimmer at 3:40 but used twilight instead.
Loved the video still, always love watching this kind of videos
2:07 when the odwalla discontinuation happened. A bit of me died. Honestly it was my favorite and underrated. Nostalgia in a bottle :(
“There’s nothing in space, so it should taste like La Croix” We have a new joke to add to the pile of lines about how little flavor is in La Croix! 😂
"tathes otherworly"
I love La Croix and Perrier, but my husband refers to it as “lie soda” lol
La Croix is just water with the memory of flavor
This is a great comment
lol it would probably taste like dirt though, space has gas and dust floating around.
I tried it the other day, and my mom described it perfectly: It basically tastes like when you rush over to the soda machine at McDonald's and run your cup through all the soda flavors at once to make one giga drink.
That is actually exactly what it tasted like now that you’re saying it coming from someone who has made that “gigs drink” concoction it does seem somewhat similar
Don't they call that like a suicide drink or something lol
@@hunterwillis3775 yep
Thanks, now i can actually pinpoint exactly what it tastes like without ever having tasted it
I mix sodas at soda fountains and my sister thinks that's gross. That explains how I could like starlight for its odd flavor but my sister thought it was disgusting
Hey Mat! Big fan here!
Was on a roadtrip and found another coke creation, that claimed to taste like dreams, called “dreamworld”
As soon as I bought this, I immediately thought of this episode. Basically, I’m proposing a video idea of you guys talking about this dream soda in the same way that you talked about starlight! (I can’t say I can describe the flavor right now, but when I wafted the smell, it smelled like orange tic-tacs lmao)
Hey matpat, here in brasil we had a similar coke flavor call "Coca Cola Byte" with a "Byte" flavor. it actually tastes like sweet-electric if i was to describe it.
Fun fact: One time Coke tweeted something along the lines of “Who wants to be our best friend” or something like that. My English teacher replied and thought nothing of it A few weeks later, she got a $50 gift card for Coca Cola. Just a little story I decided to share with the world.
Wow that’s a fun story. I wonder if others responded and got the same gift.
Your profile picture upsets me
Why is your profile picture
@@professorgames3261 idk maybe its a selected amount.
Cool story bro
I’m convinced the flavor was originally “s’mores” (hence the campfire reference in the marketing, cotton candy flavor is the marshmallow, chocolate taste, etc) but they shelved it. Then someone got a brilliant idea to make money on it, hence, “space flavored”.
oh those behind the scenes coke marketing scemes, so funny, so entertaining
Does taske like a toasty cotton candy s'mores
And it has Birch Beer hit at the end.
i NeEd MIlK
@@MyLifePixeledyea maybe like a rum flavored s'mores but with some sweetness like razberry Wich components plus more foods chemical compound in a space dust cloud that gives it it's flavor, but the coke commercial is trying to go with I guess a camp fire space vibe so really cold tasting with toasty s'mores,with some rum and coke on the side. We figured it out.
dude I love how much you put into this video you should do the Coca-Cola dream world one looking at the lake I was expecting cotton candy but after tasting it was EXTREMELY disappointed as it was just a mango taste I'd love to hear the reviews of this one!!
When I heard about the space soda and went to try it, I actually thought about it before tasting it. Considering all the other things floating in space is mostly rock(planets, asteroids, moons) and gas, I kind of anticipated the drink to taste kind of rocky. And it surprisingly did.
"Stargazing tastes like grass clippings and mosquitoes and campfires taste like literal ash floating through the air"
I mean MatPat isn't wrong at all with that statement.
I feel like this comment will get popular

MatPat: Why won’t Coke sponsor me!?
Also MatPat: This is why you shouldn’t drink this flavor of Coke…
Also MatPat, this supermarket brand cola tastes better than coke.
Lol he ain't wrong tho-
maybe he just doesnt like this specific flavor?????
@@KellsKellsBoBells Yeah exactly. I mean I don't hate it, but it's not SO good...
@@ionelalexandra I mean, he did diss coke life and coke starlight in the same video. I feel like he only likes coke zero and diet coke tbh
0:02 I can't hear that word without thinking of sonic frontiers😭
matpat's reaction at 9:23 had me laughing so hard i spit out my smore soda
I recently encountered this "Starlight" flavoured coke up here in Canada, and I bought a bottle. I rather liked it, and bought a second one the following day. The way I've tried to describe it is if coke decided to make a creme soda.
It kinda tasted like marshmallows to me, and my coworker thought it kinda tasted like lucky charms. I thought it wasn't bad.
Trying to describe the flavor I came to the crème soda idea to.
I didn’t think I’d want any more of it but every so often I do get a craving for it.
Yes! It was rebranded vanilla coke to my taste buds
To me it tasted like an extremely caffeinated cream soda crush
thats...susprisingly acurate
This soda somehow became my favorite. I never tasted anything earthy? I just came up with it being a wild cherry-vanilla soda with a fun touch of mint. I think the coldness is what makes it space tasting
Everyone I've met has said it tastes like something different.
It tastes like someone put candy in it coke, and I also love it! I mean, my favorite flavors are orange vanilla, cherry vanilla and regular vanilla 😍
I also really liked it! I mostly tasted s'mores with a little bit of that coolness at the end.
I thought vanilla cherry too!!!!!
for me it tasted like a rasberry vanilla coke, with an after taste of carmel?
Of the Coke Creations flavors released so far, Starlight is my favorite! I love the stuff, I wish they still made it!
I really liked this stuff and I hope it eventually gets brought back
This video got me to try Coke Starlight, and I actually quite like it. I think it tastes a bit different for different people, though, because I didn't get any of the bitter, earthy, or minty notes, just the subtle cotton candy taste and the cold finish.
Same here !!
I got it as well, and my friend and I just got 2 packs for ourselfs. It's really not that bad
i get like slightly fruity and the vanilla
bruh to me it taste flat
Same, to me it’s a mix of the cotton candy and raspberries, but I don’t remember a dirt taste. I try to buy it whenever I see it now
MATT! I’d love to see a Food Theory episode on expiration dates! Are they real? Or are they just a ploy to get us to throw away perfectly good food and buy more? How long AFTER an expiration date is something still safe, etc.
That'd be great from what iv read they are 1/4 real 3/4 differnt scams hurting literally everyone
@@Birchlandia I doubt they're trying to make you throw out perfectly good food. The real reason they are so much earlier than the actual expiration date is so that they don't get sued for food poisoning or whatever
Not A Theory:
Those dates are 100% *_arbitrary._*
Yes lesss gooo
That would be a make for a good food theory video.
My first taste of this, it tasted like Christmas. Growing up we had a box of Christmas tree decorations and tinsel and it had a particular pine smell to it that apparently stuck with me into adulthood and I just didn’t know it. When I took my first drink of this it reminded me of Christmas when I was a kid. 😂. Who knew memories could have a flavor.
I tried Coke Starlight when it released, and honestly I'm kind of upset that it's gone. I really loved how much of a berry taste there was, and the zero sugar version was even better since there wasn't all the sugar in the way of the real flavor. I just wish that the flavor would return rather than being left in the past since me and almost every one of my friends absolutely loved the drink.
Coke should come up with a tagline for Coke Starlight: "We wanted to make it taste quarky, but only ended up making it taste quirky."
i hate that i know what this means
Oh my god thats actually a viable tagline
Lol YES
I’d give this a clap and a half but wrong channel
That's really good, actually.
Regardless of the “space” branding I think the flavor tastes pretty good. I have’t tried the normal version but the zero sugar one surprised me with how much I enjoyed it.

I didn’t know there was a sugar one. I can only find the zero sugar ☹️. I found pictures of it, I’ll keep hunting
I agree
Honestly it just takes like ever so slightly sweeter Coke
i love how matt chuckled a little bit when saying the zeros
this is always entertaining to watch
I love the lady at the end who so sweetly said "Space taste gross." She said it so matter of fact but as if it were still almost a compliment she really cracked me up :) [everyone else was great for being our virtual guinea pigs as well, thanks Team MattPat!]
You just gave me a massive nostalgia hit. I live in Seattle, and in a town called Greenwood, where I used to live, there used to be a store dedicated to all that weird astronaut stuff. My family is broke, so all I ever got from there was this weird squeezy alien toy that was, like, 75 cents, but I distinctly remember some things that were in the thousands of dollars. My dad loved to go there for camping food, too
Archie McPhees?
@@JBourrie Maybe that was it. It was so long ago, I don't remember the name
I used to live in greenwood
Greenwood like Mason? ⛓
coke: "the feeling of being by a campfire stargazing"
Matpat: "THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT TASE LIKE ASH AND BUGS"
evrey normal person: it tastes like gram crackers (kinda like what you would be expecting with the feeling of camping and siting around the campfire)
Fun fact: I work at a grocery store who sells starlight, and when looking at the ingredients compared to normal coke, the only difference is the incorporation of fruit juice!
They don't have to list every ingredient so it's very possible the major changes are hidden. But yeah this is obviously a coke base with a weird flavor profile so not too surprising
Sounds like the “OK” cola cola that failed miserably (but has a cult following to this day making their own ok out of other stuff)
I personally love the Starlight flavor & that the flavor profile(s) seem to change with each sip. I will say one thing though....It definitely tastes much better cold than room temp.
Personally I think it tastes like bottle caps, like when you take just a handful of them and lol em in your mouth, but like you said it tastes different every time.
Pop, not lol
It tasted like cotton candy ocean.
It's literally just vanilla cherry
Exactly my take
I came here again because I had the new Intergalactic european version twice already. I was pretty pumped up and I finally found 2 cans in a local shop. It's like having yogurt with biscuits with a slight fruity aftertaste and some mild mint at the end. I really like it and I want this to be here to stay. Way better than the normal one, although it's very strange.
Genuinely I'm a fan of it. The tiny cans are great because it's a nice drink to sip at, not to drink a large amount of. The main flavor is the coke but the aftertaste of cotton candy is very different. It does have a cooling sensation similar to mint but no minty flavor. I like it!
Having tried it myself, knowing people who've tasted it, and having read a few articles, I've seen one general consensus on Coke Starlight: It tastes like you mixed a couple pops at a pop machine. I think the one I've seen that best reflects it is Coke plus Dr Pepper, which does summarize it fairly well. I've also had someone say that it tastes like it has the slightest hint of marshmallow, which I can taste as well. I wouldn't say it tastes bad though, it just tastes odd, without any specifically defined taste. I don't really think it tastes like what space would taste like, I think it tastes like that way space looks.
Tastes like a modified Coke vanilla to me
From descriptions, I can't tell if I would like it or not. I really like Vanilla Pepsi Zero, with Vanilla Coke Zero as a close second... but I'm really not a fan of Dr. Pepper at all. So ... probably worth trying once, I guess, but it sounds like I shouldn't expect much.
I 100% agree with how you described it
I get a buttery caramel with a little bit of raspberry, but a cooling effect? Nope. It's not great but it's not bad either, middle ground level.
Am i the only one who thought the after taste was like skittles
Matpat is the type of person to look at space and ask, "Is anyone gonna drink that?" and not wait for an answer.
To be completely honest I used to not like food theory but I actually love it now. Idk what happened but continue the amazing work u lot are doing
Bro this stuff is actually the goat
For the record, I would absolutely buy “mat pat’s seething rage” flavour Coca-Cola, once.
If Coca Cola wants my money multiple times, we’ll, they better start making a Quantum or a Victory flavour.
Tbh it sounds like it'd be something like cinnamon and ginger cola
What about quartz?
@@stsk9360 I'd gladly drink that too
"Car ride to work on a rainy Monday morning at 3 am" flavor
@@justatinydemonbehindyourco310 That sounds good.
always wonder how food would taste in space, I remember seeing those astronaut ice creams at the store

And now my favorite quote this year,” so what this tells me is this drink taste like ash and bugs.”- Matt Pat
Haha this just make me laugh out loud so much this year so thank you matt pat.
Take care everyone and stay safe out there.
I genuinely love the space soda, when I first tasted it I definitely got the vanilla, but also cherry. I thought it was a mix of all the flavors. It’s so good but also bad
You remember Coke California Raspberry and Georgia Peach? I got hints of raspberry in it
I got kind of a vanilla/raspberry/earthy/cookie profile when I tried it. I'm a fan. My dad, on the other hand, is not. Of course, then again, either it alone or in conjunction with something else he ate gave him bad indigestion, so, that's understandable.
I agree
I thought it tasted like red cream soda mixed with coke. I liked it. If it was still around I would buy it.
I didn't notice any raspberry like others have. I was disappointed. Objectively, I really really liked it.
Yeah, I tried the zero sugar version of this, and then I had to try it a couple more times because I really wasn't sure what to make of it. Each sip tastes different - there was vanilla, and something fruity, never got a sense of anything earthy, and I don't drink alcohol so I wouldn't know it if I tasted that in there; I would actually try to figure out how to articulate the taste in my head while driving down the highway, just parsing out my thoughts as I drove, and could never really put it into words…but it's not bad. I don't LOVE it, but it's…something. Try it once, basically. Interesting conclusion about the molecule that led to the taste, though!
@@irnamaa__1713 Hello, bot! Thank you very much for sending me this message, I'm trying to learn how to phonetically pronounce Japanese characters so this was great practice!

I literally had the exact same experience today
Sounds like my experience of coke coffee
I've described it as raspberry vanilla. It's not great. The regular version is definitely raspberry vanilla
Mine sort of tasted like Graham crackers, caramel, and a nice cooling hint of mint. It honestly panned out pretty well.
3:00 I have a 20 oz bottle of it on my shelf
I tried it when it came out and knew about the raspberry / rum "taste" of space. With that in mind, I could possibly taste a hint of rum but definitely no raspberry. Sweet, cotton candy was for sure what I tasted. It has that artificial berry / vanilla taste you would associate with cotton candy, but I wouldn't say it was raspberry. It wasn't bad if you want a sweet drink. If you like vanilla coke you would probably like this.
I thought it taste like a ginger snap cookie.
tasted like raspberry and bubble gum
I thought it tasted more like strawberry pez or nerds.
Fruitopia Cherry Vanilla Groove mixed with Coke, fruitopia was a coca cola brand its not unheard of for a company to drudge up an old flavor and rebrand it
Always merry raspberry!
It's interesting that you said it has a "personalized" flavor of sorts. I'm seeing multiple people on your team liken it to mouthwash, but I personally got none of that when I tried it. I was more of a vanilla coke flavor to me.
It starts that way, bit doesn't stay that way
yea same i had a very strong vanilla flavor
Same. For me its like a pepsi vanilla cherry
To me it tasted like raspberry coke
It’s fuckin delicious over ice, it tastes like raspberry cotton candy and nothing else
Glad to say that this is my 2nd time watching this and I tasted this stuff!
It was at a local store.
It actually tastes good!
But It's definitely weird!
Good video. I never got to try star light so I don’t know if it will ever come back. I took a screenshot when u said weird. Anywayyyyy loved the video and have a nice day
I still remember seeing a thing that said one of the chemicals found in space was ethyl formate which is what gives raspberries their taste. Therefore space tastes like raspberries. That stuck with me as I thought it was kind of romantic that space tasted like raspberries. I'm still holding to that because my illusion hasn't been shattered by whatever the end of the video says. I just want my romantic notions entered into evidence while I still have them.
Space doesn’t just taste like raspberries tho. There’s so many different chemicals in space that it has a little bit of every flavor in existence
I think it’s nebulae that taste like raspberry to be specific
The drink certainly tastes like raspberries
There's also a galaxy that smells and tastes like beer
Parts of space have compounds that create the taste in:
Raspberries
S'mores
Coffee
Alcohol
Mouthwash
...or, Space tastes like camping.
I thought they went with 'Starlight' to hint at it being Starburst candy flavored without infringing on copyright. I get a strong cherry Starburst taste.
the can says space flavored.
@@kikiblue7169 what does the can say?
New Coke Creations flavor: Theorist Flavor. It would look like the colors of the theorists channels. Red would be fruit punch, blue is blue flavor, green is sour apple, yellow would be lemonade. Made only by MatPat
BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY, A FOOD THEORY! BON APPETITE
You deserve way more subscribers. I never realized you only had 4m until you said it but I believe you are one of the best youtubers
Here's a flavor description that I'm not seeing many people talk about: To me, Starlight tastes just like taro flavored Boba milk tea. If you've never had Taro flavored Boba milk tea, I highly recommend trying it, and seeing for yourself if you agree with the comparison.
Yes, to me it tastes creamy and like half and half coffee creamer
I've only had taro as a desert once it was a bread thingy with taro paste. In my culture we call taro root Malanga and we eat it more so as a food item in soups and stews, I love it in a nice Bacalao Guisao
Taro milk tea is really good
@@normalhuman9878 it is but coke starlight tastes like dirt crackers mixed in coke syrup
I thought it had the taro taste but an aftertaste of graham crackers
"It tastes like dirt".

Well considering all of the rocks and debris floating around space, it might not taste the best and with all of the chemical and atomic particles that make up different bodies in space, it really wouldn’t be the best to drink. Though it all depends on what aspect(s) of space you’re focusing on. Really interest episode!

Don’t even remember where I heard it honestly but I remember something supposedly tasting like raspberries.
I guess everyone's taste buds are different. When I first tried it, I tasted the Raspberries and Rum taste. It doesn't taste like Cotton Candy, that's way too sweet. And not Diet because I hate the taste of Diet (Sorry Mat) I think that if people didn't like drinking it as is, it would be a great mixer for rum.
ya, rum and coke cocktail with a hint of raspberry syrup doesn't sound too bad, any mixologists in here to confirm?
it gave me the raspberry and cinnamony taste, with hints of the vanilla

@@PhoenixTwoFiftySix I just got cinnamon and then the mint aftertaste
Tastes like a modified Coca-Cola vanilla to me?
Starlight is probably my favorite Coke flavor but I'm also super biased because Babymetal, my favorite band, has a song called Starlight as well so it reminds me of them more than anything.
My parents own a campground called starlight campground in manclona Michigan. So this starlight coke add was a huge marketing opportunity for us.
And we do think that’s the taste and the depiction was intentional for a campground setting making me think. 🤔
For someone that makes a lot of theories you don’t hide any Easter eggs or anything for us to find in your videos, I NEED SOME MAT PAT LORE!!!
I thought they did, though I don't pay attention enough to know
They did make an arg based puzzle game a few years ago. I never tried it so I don't know what it's called or how to access it tho.
That's because it's hidden in the Theorist merch and tied to a select amount of videos with noticeably different titles
@@btg-bp4vl I also never did it but I don't think you can do it anymore
@@franciosdauteuil4626 he started with a select few. And hinted about wishing he could've made it a larger thing. Nowadays watch every detail. Those weird patches with screen transitions. When the intro video has a small change it usually means there's lore hidden in it. Sometimes it's hidden in that video. He had a streak of new videos with hidden lore kinda recently. Interestingly before another lore merch drop. He's gone hard lately. Almost all of them except ones like talking to twitch with a little more serious tone.
I tried this, and as a Brazilian, this tastes exactly like tutti-frutti! This is a very traditional sweet's flavoring in Brazil. We have a similar drink called Guaraná Jesus that Coke owns, but it is waaaaaaaay stronger than the space flavor
Omg we have tutti frutti in bosnia, thanks for reminding me of it now i gotta buy some
There are tutti frutti flavored sweets in Finland too
We have the flavor in some old fashioned candy here in America. It does taste pretty similar to be honest. I got cotton candy and cinnamon flavors more than anything.
Wow then this was cokes redo to sell it to different countries
we have tutti frutti in austria too!
MatPat: “why won’t coke sponsor me”
Also, MatPat: “coke does really stupid marketing and their new drink tastes like dirt” by BrenGamer lol
Best description I could give it would be coke meets cream soda. In other words, my new favorite soda
I actually tried it a couple weeks ago and it was a really trippy first couple sips and then I realized it smelled like Coke and graham crackers and then it tasted like coke, vanilla, marshmallow, and graham crackers. Which I am all about. I thoroughly enjoyed it and wish to obtain more.
Personally I love the taste
You can have mine. Its in the trash.
I still can’t believe this Channel is over a year old. I remember when it launched like it was last month
*Why did the food theorist make a mean comment on my new video?*
Mabye it was......NEW THEORY COMING
@SillySanta Bot
@@riskyy2657 BOT
Riskyy nice try
Maybe people are tasting cotton candy because of the colors on the container. The color theory you did where colors change how you taste things like the gummy bears, maybe that's effecting how they taste it. Maybe a blind test in a cup they can't see through or blindfolded
I agree with tyler when i first tried this I loved and thought it was the best drink I've ever tried
The best thing about this is that Matt drank from a glass, while none of the other crew used such glasses, because Matt knows that glass gives you the original taste and other containers don't.
its a sip of chemical infused toxic water...the "original" taste is profit with a dash of obesity
yea
Wym?
@@macudude The reason why coke tastes different in Cans and Plastic bottles is that they change the taste accordingly, whereas glass gives you the original taste. And matpat knows this.
That's not how it works. This is true for coke contained in a glass bottle. Transferring coke from a plastic bottle or a can, into a glass, won't give you "the original taste".
Even though it’s limited time it’s fun to see some theories that could be sparked
Hmm, wonder if space tastes like toast bread too
True
oop imagine stealing comments-
You still alive?
Shut up bot
11:18 MARTIN FROM LOONEY TUNES!?!?! (not toons) ALRIGHT THAT'S ALL FOLKS
"all experiences of coke starlight are personalized" i thought this was a food theory not a sm64 arg
Gotta give it to Coke, this has got to be one of the best marketing campaigns I've ever seen. They give you 0 info and an abstract description that just makes you go, "...wHAT" and decide you just have to try it for yourself. Plus no one else can really pin down the flavour, so you still can't figure out what it tastes like. It sells itself. Genius.
Yep. It definitely worked cause I'm getting one now too lol
I tried the bottle version of the starlight coke and I poured a glass for my mom and older sibling both had different responses. My mom said it has a cotton candy taste and my older sibling mentioned the more cinnamon flavor. I read the label and it mentioned fruit and vegetable flavor or something like that. And when it was in a glass we used a bit of light to see a change in color. My taste buds give me a bit of bitterness and slight taste of fruits. I also found the drink to be multi colored. And me and my older sibling wonder what would make it appear to change color? Or are we the only ones who see this and we are overthinking it or we are possibly a bit crazy.
Bots are terrible
Fluid volume and opacity change how light travels through said fluid. So depending on how full your glasses are depends on how much light gets through which can make it look different shades of the same color. Best I can think of to cause different colors.
A fuller glass would look darker etc. The shape of the glass can even have something to do with it.
I think it tasted like fruit, I really enjoyed it but it's like Cherry coke with a special aftertaste.
i thought it tasted like normal coke and than had the after tast of astronought ice cream
I need this kind of video for coke dreamland i never got to try the starlight
Starlight Coke was the first toilet bowl cleaner that could be legitimately purchased using E.B.T. Food stamps.
I feel like for all of these meme flavors coke is just going to do a flavor Rorschach test… just throw a splattering of flavor out there and let pareidolia do it’s magic. Everyone will taste whatever they want and the more people discuss the more they will just agree.
Like if you go in a public park and point at literally NOTHING people will agree that they “also” see that snake or person or whatever. It’s just crowd pareidolia…
Agreed
It’s like the one thing he missed in the video it feels like
Missed opportunity since he talked so much about companies marketing moves and could have brought it up
To be fair candy companies used to do this, like airheads I believe came out with a mystery flavor and if you guessed what the flavor was correctly you’d be entered into a drawing to win some sweepstakes with all the other correct guessers. I remember being a kid around the time this happened and various classmates all talking about what they thought the mystery flavor was all with different guesses.
@@aaronball4700 that’s true
10:15 well there goes my plans for the weekend
I tried it, regular, in a bottle, and to me it was a little vanilla, but had this finish almost like pop rocks to me. It seemed to tingle more, like it was more carbonated or something. Had a red-ish colour as well. It was decent but I wouldn't reach for more. I'd prefer a regular coke or a vanilla version. I've been trying all sorts of pops or sodas. So in the coke I tried Space, Maple, Raspberry, and the Coffee ones. I tried Faygo Pop Rocket one, and a clear Pepsi. Not sure what I'll try this week new. There's a local maker who has a donut flavoured one I'd like to try.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw that picture of Matt Pat's over-exaggerated under eye bags!🤣🤣🤣
Coca Cola starlight is one of my favorite flavors, I can't really explain why I like it so much. Also I love how the name is extremely Fallout sounding. like, Nuka Cola Starlight just sounds so right.
I couldn’t agree any more 😂😂

....are we sure this drink is not an scp?
Man I want a meme flavored coke
If it was, it wouldn't have come out (or at least no civillian would remember it coming out)
rewatching this because of the new flavor "Dreamworld". So as a request could you try Dreamworld and break in down for us
Man Can't believe it been a year and a half since this video uploaded. that cola flavor was great Imo
tbh if coke did come out with a flavor called "matpats seething rage" i'd drink that

I was a contract archivist at Coca-Cola for a bit. They were moving everything over from one of their warehouses to the recently slightly relocated archive at the main building in Atlanta, and I got to catalog a beverage dispenser that went up into space with the STS-77, the 11th mission for the SS Endeavour. It was called the fluids generic bioprocessing aparatus-2, and it was meant to test if carbonated beverages could be produced from space using seperately stored carbon dioxide, water, and flavor syrups, and if it would taste different from space. This particular machine produced Coke, Diet Coke, and orange Powerade.
NASA eventually disallowed carbonated beverages in space because... well, the carbonation plus microgravity was a Problem. The gas bubbles won't escape in space, leaving way more gas to go through your stomach and digestive system than is meant to, and burping is difficult. If you do manage to burp in space... it won't be pleasant. It'd be more akin to acid reflux or vomiting. Since NASA isn't sure what other problems this can cause and they don't really want to test it on their astronauts... no more soda in space.
It would be interesting to explore the psychological (neurological?) aspect of how your brain is always trying to predict the future and make sense of stuff and how it applies to the user experience of this drink. I've had the caramel coffee coke before trying starlight. The memory of what that tastes like combined with the sweet and earthy notes you described, made my brain think someone combined caramel coffee coke with cherry vanilla coke.
Well, this episode seems like a great warm-up for MatPat before he tries figuring out what all those Gatorade Frost flavors are supposed to be. [Fingers crossed]
Me and my cousins tried it once and we started comparing it to a ton of things. We found that if we really thought of literally anything, it would sort of taste like that (including grass, and yes, I ate grass to discover this) so this is sort of interesting.
Also I agree with Tyler I love it.
I remember when this coke flavor came out I saw people didn’t like it and then I tried it and I loved it
Honestly same. I did a review over it on my channel. While I myself though it was okay, I later became a little obsessed with… 😅
My initial reaction: "This sounds like something you COULD do but you SHOULDN'T do."
10:41 [Insert obligatory Hitchhiker's Guide joke]
After watching this I whent out and bought a bottle to try. And it was bizarre. I thought it just tasted vaugly sweet at first, then after a few sips I got the impression I was drinking an RC cola. I wanted so see what would happen if I added some alcohol so I mixed the majority of the bottle with some whiskey... the flavor of the soda completely masked the whiskey, I couldn't tell the difference other then a slight burn from the alcohol. Overall it wasent bad, but for my money I would rather have regular coke.
Apparently you should of tried it with rum!
