    Breakfast cereal is a staple of many childhoods. Trying to get your parents to buy you the cool cereal with the fun and colorful box? Been there, done that! Now that Food Theory exists, I can go back and try to answer some of the questions that have haunted me since childhood. Questions like, what the heck do Apple Jacks actually taste like? They never say they taste just like apples despite it being in the name! So what flavor are they and WHY do they taste awfully close to their competition - Froot Loops?

    I remember eating them individually as a kid while I wasnt paying attention and noticed they tasted the same. When he mentioned the orange and green ones having different flavors my immediate thought was "i thought they were the same?"
    my entire life I thought everyone knew this. The only difference Ive ever tasted is some of them have less flavoring.

    For when it came to the different colored Froot Loops, I believe that the different flavors idea are physiological more than anything else. I think that when you look at the colors, it automatically makes you think of a certain flavor. Kinda like how we compare certain colors to emotions. And because you think of that specific flavor and all of the flavors are mixed together, your brain automatically picks those specific colors and flavors out of all the others causing you to taste different flavors.

    So I used to work food production in a facility that made Clif bars, and a whole bunch of other brands of bars. In regards to the listing of ingredients, the fact that are weighted the same is pretty much 100%.
    The fact is, it could be done in multiple facilities, but in all reality it makes sense that it's just a secondary conveyer with a secondary hopper that pulls half the batch of fruit loops down into a cinnamon bath or whatever.
    The place that makes Clif bars, also makes those quaker baby bars, which are far better than clif bars lol.

    The “I swear all the colors taste different” is a great example of priming. All the froot loops have the same flavor but the commercials have primed you to believe that the blue ones are blueberry flavored and the red are cherry flavored , etc so when you see them individually and taste them your brain is able to pick up that flavor but it’s basically impossible to discern them blind because your brain doesn’t have the colors to associate the flavors to.

  • @tamarasmith9060
    @tamarasmith9060 Před 9 měsíci +6

    Apple Jacks are obviously meant to taste like BAKED APPLES WITH JUST A HINT OF CINNAMON. Not fresh apples/apple juice. And when you bake apples, whether in a pie or separate, you use more than 1 variety of apple. You use 2 or 3, a mix of sweet & sweet-tart. That's why there are some greens sprinkled in with the pink-orange now. It represents the different colored apples in the flavor. They don't taste the same as Froot Loops, the flavoring is different despite the base cereal being the same. (I like both, though.) Froot Loops taste like an apple-lemon-orange based fruit punch that would be appealing to a majority of kids.

The kid had the teacher blind taste the different ketchups and guess, which yielded the same results MatPat got.

    If the “Froot” flavor is just the 7 fruit flavors combined, I guess it would make sense that we can detect the different flavors… as long as we can see the color.
    If our mind sees red, we expect “cherry”, and since cherry is 1/7 of the flavor profile, our brain focuses on it and masks the other subtle flavors.
    But! With no visual clues brains to point our brain towards a certain flavor, no particular flavor will stand out and it will just taste like “froot”, which Matt seems to describe as generally a sugary, cardboard, citrus blend.

    Here's my theory
    When our eyes see one color, we associate it with certain flavors. So if all of the loops have all of the flavors, the one we associate the color with will stick out.
    But if we don't see the color, we won't be able to associate a flavor, meaning that none of the flavors will stand out.

      It's not even a theory, it's fact. It's color psychology. Colors are part of social constructs and we relate colors to specific things throughout life, so you are scientifically right. That's what helped collectors in prehistoric eras to avoid dangerous/poisonous/inedible plants.
