Hey YouTube, we're back here today in the drink series, um, in another video I tried, uh, a Hansen's Soda or, well, not their soda but one of the Hansen's drinks. This is Hansen's cane soda original cola made with real cane sugar caffeine-free, gluten-free, sodium-free, 160 calories per can, zero grams of total fat, zero milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of carbohydrates which includes 40 grams of added sugar, good night that's a lot of sugar, that's a lot added sugar so we know it's going to be sweet, not a significant source of yada yada, carbonated filtered water, cane sugar, caramel color, citric acid, natural flavors, and tartaric acid. That almost sounds like, uh, some science fiction name, oh Tatarik come here, come hither Tartark we must defeat the evil Growbonds. Anyway, let's read here for more information they got a QR code because I don't think anyone actually scans QR codes but everyone puts them on things whatever "at Hansen's we're all about crafting remarkable flavors from simple ingredients real cane sugar, of course," that's what it says that's not me "hey we began in California so for us nothing is too bold or unconventional always free from artificial flavors sodium caffeine this is what original tastes like", non-GMO project verified, naturally flavored, and other natural flavors.

So yeah, let's get Mr. Moose over here, and get our little can crack, just like a normal cam get some in the Moose3

That's good, I'm gonna slurp the can sorry, it just bothers me when there's like a bead of liquid on a can. So it, it looks like most colas, um, I know you guys can't see this very well but you know just your normal weird brown that you get with Pepsi or Coke or RC Cola or whatever.

It smells like a soda, it smells like just a generic store brand soda. Let's try it.

Yeah, oh yeah, you can taste the sweetness in that wow wow woooowww you know who is that, Owen Wilson? Wowwww.

So aside from being extremely sweet, I don't really have a lot of added sugar so these sweet sodas might skew my perception a little, it, uh yeah, it just tastes like a generic cola. Doesn't taste like Pepsi, doesn't taste like Coke, it doesn't really taste like RC maybe, like uh, I've had generic soda and so on, I know there's like Sam's Cola or something and then like K's Cola whatever, I think Kroger had a house brand, it kind of tastes like those but uh I am tasting like a cheap vitamin C tablet kind of flavor and no, no, no, no I know, it reminds me of, I was going to say that it's probably the citric acid but what it reminds me of, is uh, they're candies they're called Bottle Caps they, they kind of changed over the years but they used to just be like chalky looking wafer discs that looked like a bottle cap and now, I think like Nestle bought Wonka or whatever years ago, and they're kind of like these little domed, I don't know they still taste the same but they look different, but that's what it tastes like. It has that, that flavor, and I'm betting that they're using citric acid in that candy or something as a binder just as a cheap, cheap binder and there's definitely that citric acid taste there like cheap vitamin C.

Yeah, yeah, that's way too much sugar for my liking. Um, but no, I, I would drink that if, if I wasn't too worried about consuming sugar. You know, I'm not the optimum specimen of human health. I do have a gut as I'm sure you can see with my shirt all folded up, and I dress in layers to hide this, and you know I've got male side-bosom so you know, I am trying to be mindful of the sugar and stuff so I can lose some weight and not die before I turn 40. If they made a diet version of this which, I know I did see diet versions of their sodas at Fresh Thyme when I purchased this a little six-pack or whatever, I would probably give it a try, I might try to find some when I go to the grocery later today

I would be interested to see if they had a diet cola and if it did taste like anything remotely in the universe of Diet Coke. I'm a hardcore fan of Diet Coke. Last year I was drinking two or three of them a day, the not the 20-ounce bottles but the other plastic bottles, I think they're 16 ounces maybe 14, 16, something like that, and then I've, I've mostly quit aside from this drink review series. I've had I think three diet cokes and it's February 13th as I record this so yeah, trying to cut those out just like of course sugar soda, but I, I would be curious if they had a diet version of this and I would love to try it. Um, I'll keep an eye out for that and you may see that in the channel soon. Again, we just talked about Hansen's cane soda original cola, um, I'm gonna have another little drink of it here.

It really does have like a, it reminds me of the bottle caps, of the just cola flavored bottle caps. I mean they had other flavors in there but that's that's, that's what it reminds me of, and now I kind of really want some of those, those candies, but the, the old ones and not the weird little domed ones. Yeah, yeah check it out, um, it seems like they're in a lot of groceries. I got this one Fresh Thyme, as I said, you might have a Fresh Thyme where you are, you might not just look about Hansen's cane soda. Yeah, I'm gonna wrap it up there.
