Hey YouTube, what's going on? Right out of the gate I want to apologize if you hear the heat going, it is very cold outside, we are well below freezing it's pretty much turning on every few minutes, so it's kind of hard to film today. We're going to be doing this Hanson's cane soda naturally flavored, and other natural flavors root beer
This is just like a generic kind of soda it comes in a little I think six-packs maybe four-packs, little cardboard deals, I think it's four-packs, sorry for not knowing this, I bought a lot of sodas recently for this review series on drink reviews.
At Hanson's we're all about crafting remarkable flavor from simple ingredients. real cane sugar, of course, hey we began in California so for us, nothing is too bold or unconventional, always free from artificial flavors, sodium, caffeine. This is what organic tastes like it is a non-GMO project verified.
Made with real cane sugar, caffeine-free, gluten-free, sodium-free. It's 160 calories in one can, zero fat, zero sodium, 41 grams of carbs, which includes 41 grams of added sugars, so again all of your flavor and this like many of the other drink reviews I've been doing all your calories come from pure sugar, not something great but as a treat sure. I would never drink these regularly even if I loved them, uh if I was going to drink one regularly I would probably drink the Olipop which I've done a previous video on one of the flavors probably be another one coming soon if there wasn't already at this point. Don't know what order I'm going to release these videos in but I do have the root beer from Olipop and I have tried it, and it is good, and I'm going to do a video on it if it's not up already. If I was going to regularly drink soda so I'd drink those because they're very low calorie and they have a lot of fiber added and they're expensive so it stays a treat and not a common thing. These, I mean, 41 grams of added sugar. You're basically drinking diabetes in a can, I'm sure it tastes lovely, it may or may not, but you know clearly someone enjoys it because they keep making it and if you drink this stuff in moderation great, but I would never advocate drinking this stuff regularly. I know this is a drink review series but uh just, just, moderation people, moderation, um a lot of people have a lot of liquid calories with this stuff, I'm preaching now you don't care so let's get on with it.
You know, the standard can sound a lot of carbonation coming out let's get some here Mr. Moose.
Definitely has a decent color for a root beer.
Smells more like root beer than, um, another one I tried which you've probably seen the video for at this point.
This definitely smells like IBC. or Dog and Suds, or Barq's root beer. It has a very classic root beer scent which is promising.
Oh yeah, that's good, it's just generic root beer. I'm not sure that's what they were going for but that's it's just generic root beer flavor.
It's, um, it's definitely not stronger than, um, a typical root beer. If anything it's a little more mellow, it doesn't have that like harsh bite that some root beers have. I think in a float this would probably get watered down a lot in flavor by whatever ice cream you're using, if you're using, you know, just vanilla or vanilla bean I think it would really take away from the flavor of this. Obviously, you have to try that yourself but definitely not what I would go for for a float based on the, uh, the drink itself, it's um, you can definitely feel the sugar in it though. I'm getting that fuzzy tongue and the, uh, the tooth film right away.
Yeah, if you have Hanson's anywhere near you definitely worth trying, um, you do have to buy like I said either four or six in a little case but it was, it was pretty cheap. I think I paid two or three dollars for four or six cans so very cost-competitive. Sorry for those of you that don't like the sound, I'm going to slurp the can, it just bothers me when there's that liquid floating around.
Yeah, that was Hansen's cane soda, 160 calories of sugar from presumably sugar cane.
Yeah, sorry, I...I love root beer. I grew up next to a drive-in restaurant called Mug'N'Bun which has been in Indianapolis, it's in the Speedway area, like right on the edge of Speedway, it's been there for probably 75 or 80 years at this point, last I knew it was on its third or fourth owner in that period and they make their own root beer and it is so good and it just takes me into childhood so I love trying root beers and when they get close to that i just get happy because I'm taken back to the mid and early 90s when things were great and I was first discovering the internet and there were a bunch of fun movies that I've now watched hundreds, if not thousands, of times or at least listened to them that many times. Root beer is magical it's, it's so fun, and it's something you can make at home if you really wanted to. I might do that eventually try making some root beer, um, I imagine I would never make anything even as good as this but it could be fun.
Yeah, that was Hansen's root beer. Thanks for stopping by. Like, comment, subscribe, tell me you hate me, say you hate when I do this pitcher thing, remind me that I need to lose some weight because I definitely do, I've got a bit, a bunch of fat rolls there, the sugary soda's probably not helping. I'm not going to finish this, it will go down the drain and I'll save the remaining ones of this as a special treat. Yeah, see you guys next time!
