After going so long without the sustenance that is nl’s takes on groceries and similarly mundane items, the savior has returned to tell us why our favorite drink is actually dogshit.
I only feel eggs validation as my favourite is water
@@TooKorky to be fair it should be everyone’s “drink daily” as it is literally the sustenance of all life. So your validation should be taken lightly. Or very heavily? Idk
@@Charlies_FactoryI only drink water on sundays
It's a weird time in the world that my favorite content on the internet is a bald man ranking grocery items and judging redditors
im pogging
He's bald??
the fact that water didn't go in to "I'll stick with water, thanks" is a tragedy
The logical implications are frightening ngl
Water is better than water confirmed ?!!1!!1!!1!
Lmao
Hahaha
To be fair its the "worse then water" category, not "as good as water".
And water isn't worse then water.

"I'll be your adblock"
*proceeds to stop and read out all the ads to us...
I used to work with a 45 year old woman who said at least once a week that "The taste of water makes me puke" I am still not convinced she was actually human.
That was a rat-human hybrid, probably.
Its pretty metallic. I drink it because it's really healthy sure, but I won't lie it's not what I would call good-tasting. I feel like we're all exaggerating here, you, your co-worker, NL saying it's delicious. Its just water, its kinda bad, you aren't cool for liking what you need to drink to have a functioning healthy body. I feel like most people are just acting or just fake it until they condition themselves. But then again it wouldn't be the internet if people weren't sensationalistic.
Depends on the city/well you get it from. It can be pretty gross even if it’s perfectly safe to drink
Generally speaking, if my choices are be thirsty, or drink water, I'm choosing to be thirsty 98% of the time. I can recall several times in my life where I didn't consume any water (on it's own) for upwards of six months at a time. Most water just tastes bad. Not "makes me puke" bad, but just... IDK how to describe it well. It's like eating minimally cooked plain oatmeal, but minus the interesting texture.
I will say, though, that there was one variety of water that I found to be tasty. It was an artesian well that used to be in downtown Olympia, WA that contained it. it kinda just leaked out through this weird pipe in the middle of some paved lot. I know how that sounds, but it was good. Since then, if it's not on that level, I don't fuck with it.
@@lautaroescarlon7501 damn i feel like an asshole for underapreciating having good tap water in my area. I have never every thought water to be metallic, if anything it's a bit sweet.
describing bubble tea as “swanky juice” is why no one else can fill the NL void
S-Tier not being named "Juice Me" is devastating.
Little juice, little tease. Or was it squeeze.
bro you said the line XD also you said the "is devastating" meme words like other in-groupers say it! wow

Gotta admire the art direction of 2007 meme formatting for 95% of these beverages.
I could totally see that image of a glass of water with “water” in impact font become some modern zoomer meme with 20 layers of irony to it
@@Smoneey I'm a zoomer and can confirm. As soon as he scrolled down and the pictures showed up I laughed more than I'd like to admit
@@Smoneey it's already happening
Gatorade being labeled "Energy Drinks" with 100% sincerity made me laugh pretty hard.

NL: complains people having too much time on threir hands
Also NL: making tier list on drinks
Also me: watching man rate drinks and complaining about people wasting time
Me: reading your comment about watching a man rate drinks and complaining about people wasting time. At 2AM.
What am I doing with my life
Buddha got it right man, time is just a circle. We’re all just stuck in an endless cycle of having too much time and complaining about it. This is our samsara.
Also NL: Making $$ to support himself and his family while having a blast and doing what he loves.
Damn this man is too entertaining and has life solved lol.
At least he gets paid for it
These 90+ minute videos of NL just ranting about [home appliances/snack foods/drinks/TBOI items] are life to me.
Same! I am also fully willing to admit that this is probably some of the worst ways to spend your time and builds an unhealthy parasocial relationship with a man who, at best acknowledges your cheeky taunts during the rare win over him at a Malf SAP invitational during the early rounds, abusing shop difference and, at worst doesn't know who you are nor has the time or reason to care to know. [imagine NL interjecting with "You're losing me my jury!" for your entertainment while reading this chat essay] But god dammit, I love it and I won't have it any other way.

Me: I don't agree with many of this man's opinions but I respect them
NL: Artificial banana flavor is kinda goated
Me: This dude is actually fucking insane
Artificial banana flavor tastes like a banana species that went extinct a half century ago due to monoculture making it vulnerable to a fungal disease. It's what actual bananas used to taste like before we were forced to pivot to the kind of bananas we eat now because they resisted the fungus. And honestly I agree with NL; artificial banana is kinda goated.
@@ArtemisCartography artificial banana tastes nothing like modern bananas, yet it is still good in its own way
@@newmeta2668Yes, that's what they said; the commonly known aroma is conceived around the Gros Michel which got pretty much wiped out during the 20th century but still remains in the collective consciousness as the flavor profile stays popular. There are tons of different-tasting bananas on top.
Nah I’m banana pilled, Artificial banana flavour doesn’t really taste like bananas but it’s still goated.
Thankful that species of banana went extinct 🙏 shit tastes vile
Watching this as a British person I realised that beverages are probably our greatest social difference…

I know right, what is ‘milk tea’?
Hi, grape nerd here. Grape juice sold in North America is made from concord grapes whereas grape juice out of North America is made from vitis vinifera, the same species that is used for the vast majority of wine grapes. Grape juice tastes completely different out of North America, the people saying grape juice taste like wine are not as crazy as they sound, they just aren't from NA.
THANK YOU I was looking for someone else that also said this.

This is the perfect thing to watch whilst drinking some nice crisp water
"Most people just ambiently wander through life in a daze of consumption. 'Oh this is good!', 'sweet mmmm'. Every move they see: 'I think this is the best movie I've ever seen!', 'I think this is the best movie I've ever seen!'
I'm constantly turning the gears in there. Why do I like this? Should I like this? What purpose does it serve? Does it just taste good because it's hitting an animal part of my brain or does it just taste good because it's hitting an executive function level in my brain?
I compare and contract. I look at them across different continuums and gradients of criteria. That's why I'm the only one that has to do the tier list. God gives his hardest tasks to his strongest soldiers. So you can say -2 all you want. I'm the only one crunching the damn numbers.
Bubble tea."
New copypasta confirmed
"It's designed to taste like food a bee would eat." Is one of the most incredible things out of NL's mouth this year
This man is the platonic ideal of the modern day stoic
I laughed outloud when NL went "It gives it a good competitive edge" about water helping you survive
As a milk lover I was losing it at the milk rant. "You can't have cereal any more without milk."
NL clearly has different views on cereal and milk :D
I have never eaten cereal with milk in my life. I am a dry cereal kinda guy.
"I would never order a Gatorade at a restaurant that's psychotic" I fell on the floor laughing
Milk, milk tea, boba and chocolate being sent to the shadow realm was just too much NL. The world can not take it all at once like that.
Honestly NL's Americano anecdote may have been the best advice I have been given all year. Thanks for payin it forward to the homies
You can live solely off milk for the longest time out of anything on this list. It is POG
Yeah I don't hardly ever drink milk on its own but having it so far below its inferior plant based counterparts is a crime unless you are lactose intolerant. The whole milk makes coffee sour made me realize that he has some deep rooted irrational issue with milk.
Im starting to think nl is secretly lactose intolerant and thats why he hates all milk
@@moredcaicyrus2826 I'm lactose intolerant and buy the lactose free stuff. Drink that shit near daily if you count some cereal. He's off his gourd. Big milk has his favorite auntie imprisoned. Any drink like a soda (or any chemically made fruit flavor) is waaay worse for you than milk is "not as good as people say it is for you." Same weird take as boba tea, like it's popular yeah, its not as good as some people claim, but its still pretty damn good. His tier list, his rules though lol
@@0Rookie0 ya i agreed with his list besides anything milk related, milk anything is a to s tier, tho when i was a kid everything milk related would be a f tho
Milk is not healthy at all, the calcium is just added in.
Boba tea? Overrated. Imagine going to a store to just buy one drink, like "we sell Pepsi" lmao? Ridiculous.
Imagine if they sold, idk, coffee like that? That'd be crazy.
Ikr?
Um excuse me but coffee shops do not only sell coffee, they have lattes and cappuccinos as well. Boba tea is just one thing
@@Trancerrr I can't tell if you're serious or if you forgot that there is more than 1 type of tea lol
@@NarcissistMargarine there are many coffees. But tea is tea.
@@Trancerrr uhhh idk about that one chief. Last I checked there were literally hundreds of varieties of tea. Like green. And herbal. And black. And white. And oolong. And yerba mate. And yellow.
I very rarely drinks sodas nowadays, but I can easily the difference between regular coke and regular pepsi. NL is wrong. Also any citrus juice not only has sugar but also the acid softens your enamel.
The people saying water makes them feel sick/ it tastes bad literally need to go get checked by a doctor and ask them about it, or get a water filter and see if that helps. It's should taste like nothing/good in the sense that it satisfies your thirst.
A lot people live in areas where their water isn’t necessarily dangerous but it has a high enough concentrate to just taste like metal. The school water was so foul it made me think I hated water.
i think people are crazy when they say water doesn't taste like anything. Every single source of water I've ever had has a different taste. the different metals/minerals that are in it give it a different taste. Usually I only drink ice cold tap water, but I don't mind water in general. but don't ever give me SPA bottled water or I will legit want to puke. that shit tastes like its gone bad and its fucking water. Give me Poland Spring water and ill be just as happy as you giving me a soda. I know for a fact I like it when my water has a high magnesium level. Water totally tastes different. heck even when I filter my tap water I taste a difference. I think people who think water tastes like nothing honestly only had water from one source or something. heck I moved from Belgium to the USA and I taste a difference in tap water. Belgium gets its water from the ground and has a high calcium content. tastes completely different to what ever the fuck I get now. That being said, people who say they get sick from water usually only drink sugary drinks and were never taught as kids to drink water. totally fucked with their perception and yeah compared to cola water is fucking disgusting. but if you have a healthy drink life, water should not make you feel bad, quite the opposite.
@@miniclip1162 so true, so true. People who say water doesn't have a taste don't know what they're talking about. Hell, even within a country, the water at my friends house who lives about 30km away tastes completely different.
@@caramelvictim193 exactly!
The only milk this man will drink is banana milk!?!? He’s lost his GD mind
My grandma says she hates water and always drinks flavored stuff like soda or whatever except when taking her meds. She's 91 and still going strong, for a 91 year old. My sister who has been exercising and eating right since teenage years got cancer when she was 34. What I'm trying to say is life is unfair. Even so you should still tilt the odds in your favor by living a little bit healthy.
Is it just me, or is refridgerated tap water like 5x better than plain tap water?
I listen to these videos as podcasts multiple times, just whenever I need something in the background.
I'm high key mad that Water hasn't been allocated to "I'll stick with water, thanks".
I drank primarily juice/soda/milk until I was in my mid 20s just because of my family culture. All it took for me to prefer water was like 3 months where I gradually went from full sugar drinks to stevia, to drink tablets, to water. Water can definitely be an acquired taste.
I am a pediatrician in childrens hospital and choccy milk is my guilty pleasure :)))
It shouldn't be guilty choccy milk is for all ages and all times of the day.
honestly he kinda lost me at the school milk cartons i remember id pop those bad boys open down the whole thing in like 10 seconds, id drink all my friends ones too i was obsessed with whatever the fuck those freaks were putting in that fake chocolate milk, i dont even like normal chocolate milk but i could chug those school milk cartons all day
word
FAXXXXX!!!
I only ever got them because we were required to get a milk carton for school lunches for some reason (aka milk industry lobbying), but at my school at least they were always kept at just above freezing (or actually just frozen), and let me just say that near-frozen skim milk is probably the closest you can get to "water: the flavor", somehow even moreso than just straight water.
hey hey hey, sip your friends.
I feel attacked by NLs description of how a normal person consumes wine.
Time to settle in boys. Grab a cup of coffee and spark one up. I can feel the pogs through my screen.

I have the same opinions on dairy milk as NL on milk alternatives. It's great as an ingredient but I would never just drink a glass, that's weird. I drink a glass of non dairy milk pretty often though.

Water: would drink daily, would keep in the fridge, maybe in a restaurant, in a softball game.

Most of my drinks these days include unsweetened, black tea and Ocean Spray cranberry juice mixes. There's a great lack of juices in this list.
you are a person of my heart. black tea (or green tea i honestly have periods where i switch sides) and cranberry juice is so fucking good. + cranberry is perfect to use with other juices or smoothies!
100% on the white grape juice, kids in the 90s drank it every day until we got sick of it. I'm finding that mixed juices sweetened with white grape are pretty good nowadays, but I do drink predominately water because I want to stay alive.
Wow, I have never felt more aligned with NL’s crazy analytical view of the world and I am here for it

Grape juice isn't necessarily artificially flavoured. We Spaniards drink 'mosto', a type of grape juice that consists of freshly crushed grape juice, as well as some of the fruit itself (skin, seeds). It's one of the steps in the process of wine distillation

Pineapple juice story was great, kinda crazy you didn't puke from that. Also, you could make your own sodastream for around $100 if you wanted, just with a 5 lb CO2 tank and some tubing and valves and stuff. Makes an insane amount of seltzer and costs very little to refill a tank (around $20, here at least).

I strive to have banter so powerful it singlehandedly outclasses that of 4 peoples cohesive conversation
the whole "Its un-natural to drink animal milk because no other animals do it" thing is stupid. no other animals do a lot of things that humans do. Other animals would ABSOLUTELY drink milk if they were smart enough to do it. What a really ignorant argument for not drinking milk, anybody who says that hasn't spent even half of a microsecond thinking about what they're saying lmao
Drinking milk is more of a symbiotic relationship between us and cows than eating their meat is.
Can we get a cocktail tier list
if milk isnt top of top tier, the tier list is wrong
pepsi and milk in same tier is unconscionable
Top 3:
1. Milk
2. Water
3. Chocolate milk
Chocolate milk under water but regular milk over water is a pretty brave opinion
This is quite the brave take, but I respect it

root beer is supposed to be sarsaparilla or sassafras adjacent, occasionally with other flavors for example barq's has licorice.
I used to dislike the taste of water too because all water tasted very metallic to me. I didn't drink plain water until I was like 25 lol. I like water now but some waters still have an odd metallic taste to me.
Same here
Where the fuck do people get metallic water... Use a water filter if it so bad.
That bit about the delivery people is absolutely hilarious.
Milk is absolutely an S-tier beverage. Forget all the health-conscious arguments, milk tastes amazing and quenches thirst like none other. I’m not ashamed to say that I frequently drink more milk than I do water, and I know that’s not something to be proud of, but screw it. If I stop at a gas station on a road trip, milk will be my first drink, and a bottle of water will then last me the remainder of the trip. Midnight cotton mouth? Catch me swigging from the gallon in the fridge. Eating something salty or spicy? Milk is the BATMAN to the Robin. I can easily go through at least a gallon a week, regardless of the type (i.e. skim, 2%, chocolate). Milk is love, milk is life.
the green tea, passion, lemonade, black tea, tazo bit had me dying
I broke my finger when I was like 9 and went to urgent care and they gave me a cast, the next week we went to get it x-rayed and the doctor was pissed that someone told me to put my finger in a cast, he said I should just drink milk and let it heal

the grape juice treason is real. Grape juice is the king of fruit juices, but there is a huge variance between the bad and the good ones, although that's mostly due to how godly the good ones are

Cappuccino is the basically a latte with less milk. It’s 4oz of milk instead 6oz+ of milk both get around a 2oz shot of espresso.
I once didn't drink any Coke for 4 months or so, not because I avoided it, it just randomly didn't happen and when I then had Coca Cola for the first time again, it tasted as if it had a really strong citrus by-taste, as if someone would have squirted a healthy dose of lemon juice into it. I never noticed that when I still drank Coke on a regular basis and it went away again when I drank more of it.
Strangely enough, recently I again had a longer Coke hiatus and this time, when I had it again, I expected it, but did not get the citrus taste.
it's a tier list but it's also secretly just drink categories.
