Have you ever wondered what happens to Pepsi after 20 years? Hint: It's not exactly a taste sensation. Same goes for popular glucose-fluid Lucozade too. And as for Coke Zero found on a beach... Bad times, friends. - Zábava
Imagine finding a 9 year old unopened can of coke on the beach and your first thought is "I should give this to Ashens."
...I would have thought the same thing.
watching urban vids i see stuff un-opened or pictures on the tumblt shiftythrifting and older cans n bottles of things i think "should send that to ashens" so yeah i'd be the same
I usually think of Stuart by going to Dollarama, our equivalent to Poundland.
@Rikusgirl001 one day he may find a message inside. Some poor soul shipwrecked and only hope of salvation is a message in a bottle and praying it gets to Ashens for his natural curiosity to open it.
I have an old coke from the Olympics in rio. It's quite ripe I'm sure
Let's get this out onto a tray.
Stuarts house seems to me as though each room is a different sitcom set.
Like, each one is a set from a different sitcom or just different sets within the same sitcom? I'm leaning more towards the former.
@@StarkRG different ones. Lol
"Bars & Hens"
What a cracking hair do too. Like a young Ron Atkinson.
Perhaps Ashens life is a sitcom?
When I first read "Beach Coke" I thought it was referring to some weird obscure Coke variation. But no, of course it had to be literally a Coke someone found on the beach and gave to Ashens.
Well i thought it said bleach so you had it better than me.
@@jak7826 LOL
Hehe so original. You loser.
"The surströmming was nicer..."
If there ever was a damning indictment of something, my god.
Surströmming is good though ;)
@@ghoulofmetal It sure is, but most people who hate it don't know how to eat it right - they buy the whole fish, don't even gut it and then wonder why they spilled the content of their stomachs everywhere... :P
Oof.

No hiss. Let's get this Lucozade out onto a tray. Nice.
I salute you soldier. 👏
I think this is a reference
An excellent quote.
a man of culture
@@sheo3316 You mean a Cuality quote , cause you know, Chef Excellence profile pic 😉👍
I initially read the title as "Bleach Coke Zero" and just accepted that as something Ashens would taste test
With how they described the Lucozade they might as well have
Monochrome Miku same here
The reality is significantly worse.
If someone whipped it up, there's a good chance he would try it.
I read it the same damn way and saw nothing wrong with it. LOLL
Barry has told that story about getting a mouthful of saltwater on a waterslide at least 5 separate times across the Bashens mythos.
He told it at least 10 times on barshens lmap
"There's a seahorse in my Coke!"
-Barry Lewis 2020
Got that beaten, a *sealed* can of diet Coke from the 90s with *nothing* inside.
Factory sealed, having had, for whatever reason, no drink poured inside. We've kept it as a thing of wonder, a gaseous time capsule.
You could open it and huff the 90s air.
@@GrandDawggy or just smell some jncos
True Coke Zero.
"Gaseous time capsule"? How do you know the pet name my wife gave me?
I can't believe they have it- Canned Air!

@@ocupersgmailhow?
I'm still struggling to get my head around the fact that 2000 was 20 years ago
My birth year! I'll be 20 in the fall
Tell me about it, I was born in 94 but still feel about 17, time goes too fast
The Bloody Doctor well it’s good to know everyone’s feeling positive
I was born in 1999 and I'm still thinking that 2008 was like 3 years ago...
Oh, I miss those times
The Bloody Doctor well, shit really has proper hit the fan in the space of a week. I guess you was right, fair play
I met Ashens at the weekend and was not disappointed. I approached him as if he was a famous boyband member and I were a young teenage girl and proceeded to lose all the words from my head as he shook my hand ( I haven't washed it since! ). It was amazing and he is much bigger in person than I thought he'd be. I think I inadvertently called his videos crap and then left in a hurry before I made a fool of myself any further.
23:00 - Looks like a bit of shell (hard to tell without any sense of scale or rigidity). Was probably on the outside of the can. Algae would have just died and dissolved inside, due to the lack of light and high acidity.
BTW, worth pointing out that cans are only sealed mechanically (there is no glue or welding, the rim is just folded and crimped), so any deformation (which can happen just due to thermal cycling over time) can cause small gaps to develop, which will let the liquid evaporate or other liquids (ex., seawater) to get in. Metal bottle caps typically have a soft rubbery plastic insert that will maintain a decent seal against the glass even through thermal expansion, but plastic caps don't.
This makes the most sense, thank you
Looks like we solved this mystery, gang.
Pretty sure that was mold. I got similar when I did my A Level chemistry coursework of turning beer into vinegar.
Yep, could definitely be mould too (as I said, it's hard to tell without any sense of scale or hardness), although I'd expect mould to look darker and greener. And most moulds can grow just fine in the dark (although they wouldn't grow underwater).
All the plastic caps I've seen have a soft rubbery insert though?
“it was only a few years ago... 10 years... 16 years... 20 and a half years”
It's bizarre to think that 1999 was 20 years ago because 1980 was also 20 years ago.
@@rileywalton7507 1980 was 40 years ago....im sorry.
Riley Walton 2007 was also three years ago!
@DroidTech i cant tell if you're joking
@@rileywalton7507 The 90's were - and will always be - about 10 years ago.
I've always loved the comparison of tonic water tasting like TV static, Lucozade original tastes like a TV channel you haven't tuned into properly.
Metallicy hint of rot describes these pretty well. In 2003 I accidentally drank a full can of pepsi from the late 70s. I thought they were doing like throwback cans and I was a dumb kid. Was pretty sick afterwards.
I drank a can of 30-year-old beer and no tastes of the can. But i can taste the can on a new coke or pepsi
"That's proper not right" words to live by
I once had an old can of Mountain Dew that's been sitting in my room for a while. At some point it got shot with a toy gun and got a small dent in it. Some time later I tried to pick it up and it had no weight to it. There was no visible leak on it anywhere and the fluid that was inside was never found, it was just ...empty...
ants
The dent fractured the can, and it evaporated over time. Good reason not to buy dented cans, because they can have hairline cracks not visible to the naked eye
@@AaronSmart.online This also applies to canned food. You could make yourself quite ill potentially.
Yeah, never buy a dented can. If its steel, it can rust inside as well, and you can wind up catching some very nasty stuff. Source: UK food hygiene standard level 1
when I was really little my mom thought it was hilarious to put a tiny hole in the bottom of a soda cans to drain out the soda, and then give it to me to watch the total confusion
"20+ year old Pepsi"
Hah. I bet it's going to be like, Pepsi Zero, or whatever that stuff was that came out in the 80s.
"This is for the Phantom Menace!"
...oh.
Getting old is scary
Prefer Pepsi Max!
1999? That pepsi is as old as me.
William Blazkowicz hell, it is older then me
From the title, I assumed "Beach Coke Zero" was some weird limited edition I'd never heard of...never imagined it would be that!!!
Me: I don't remember Beach Coke
Me later: oh....oh........noooo......
lmao, yup
lies, all lies.
Well i think that ashens outplayed himself there...
"If you'd like to check out Barry's channel where he doesn't attempt to kill himself..."
Ashens obviously hasn't watched Barry's channel in a while. ;P

I've watched you taste many bad things but your reaction to the beach coke is priceless...keep it up but please swill with more vodka...we don't want to lose you or to kill Barry 😂
The American adapters setting the place on fire 🤣🤣🤣
19:24 "The Teardrop Explodes" Dear god, that's some proper 70's psychedelic pop reference from Stuart, there. Impressive. Julian Cope would be proud (well, more likely, he wouldn't care... he's too busy meeting aliens inside megalithic structures, you see...).
It's just like sleeping gas; it's so ethereal.
Out of his mind on dope and speed, more like

Too early

Oh, you do that while watching CZcams, too?
It's probably not that the Beach Coke hadn't lost any of it's contents, but rather that it had been replenished with seawater and sewage during its voyage.

Never good when you find a bit of white algae floating in your Coke.
we've all been there

THAT'S

Haha! :D Maybe it's a sign I watch too much of these two when I've heard that story more times than I can count.
I was at the Lake district, and I put money in to a vending machine that seemed a little off the beaten path but whatever I was thirsty, out popped a Lucozade and a moth, and the Lucozade was two years past it's best before,
I didn't realise that last bit until I finished the drink.
7:02
Best reaction to anything, ever.
France adopted the euro on January 1st 1999, so I guess when that pepsi was made, not everybody had switched over yet.
Only in a non-physical form.
IIRC a lot of products/stores did continue to use both old currency and euro on packaging and such to help consumers determine what the price was because switching currencies can be pretty confusing.
Physical currency only became available in 2002. Between 1999 and then, the old currencies were still in circulation but with fixed exchange rates to the Euro.
@@AaronSmart.online Thank you for the info
Ah, yes...
Nothing like a cold and refreshing sip of *carbonated rust* at the end of a rought day.
Its made of aluminium, which obviously does not rust. Just sayin

As a kid I also found a 15 year old can of Pepsi in the basement. I made the mistake of taking a swig directly from the can, without pouring it out first to check. There were solid bits.

How many types of diabetes do you have now?
you were rewarded for being ill?
@@johnjonjhonjonathanjohnson3559 nah.
Idk if it was just a British thing or not but people used to think Lucozade helped you feel better if you where ill.
Doctors & nurses in hospitals would even give it to you sometimes aswell
@@Hellooooo-kq1hb Here in the US we typically give sports drinks (Gatorade, Powerade, Pedialite, etc) or clear sodas (Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist, ginger ale) to sick people. I don't think hospitals provide them to patients but the vending machines probably have them.

Hey claw did mama Susan ban your streams again? Been a hot minute.
Few days ago I watch one of your streams and now you're here, small youtube world
I'm like "Oh, Darth Maul Pepsi, jeez that's not that old..." then I realize Phantom Menace came out 20 years ago. Jesus, I feel old.

Now that's what I call pod racing!
Whatever any says about the prequels, I’d much rather watch those then the pointless trilogy we just got.
It's finally happened to us.
Shite.
“Safety” vodka, going to use that excuse next time I fancy a shot. Does “safety” gin work the same way?
FancyThatVA, thanks for the insight. Of course got to be the right safety Fever Tree with it.
Only if it's Chef Excellence-approved Tesco gin.
Safety beer is my emotional support animal
@FancyThatVA Actually, the spice underlying gin would offer a secondary anti-bacterial effect, making it stronger.
fun fact: British soldiers were using gin to rinse the taste of antimalarial drink that contained quinine and thus the famous gin and tonic was invented
About 12 or 13 years ago I was helping my father clear his friends basement and we found a sealed can of Budweiser from the 1980s
"F-Max, the lightly refreshing fish-based drink" Now *that's* an obscure reference.

L ooh, that’s a bad miss.
The juxtaposition of my emotions with the thirst-quenching nostalgia of seeing those Pepsi and Lucozade cans/bottles and the absolute sheer, uncompromising horror of what unfolded with the Beach Coke Zero is quite sensational.

What joy you bring me from across the pond.
Jokes aside, appreciate the content from the 2 of you.
It really fucks me up to realize that ~20 years ago is when THE PHANTOM MENACE came out.
20 years sounds like such a long time, like it'd be back in the 80's or 90's; a distant, far off bizarro world of neon and pogs, but in actuality I was sitting at home playing Gamecube.
That's...
Wow.
We found an unopened mini can of tonic in my nan's fridge which was completely empty. It'd been there so long all the liquid and oozed out. The same happens with plastic. Stuff in glass bottles tends to stick around longer
"safety" vodka, sounds like standard ashens procedure
Also big Clive
raY is that before or after the 240v warmup
He sometimes has safety gin.
I really like the rain sound in the background. Anyone else? The sound of rain is very relaxing
Most people do.
It's outweighed by the totally non relaxing beverages they are drinking.
I remember being at the swimming club as a kid in ‘99 getting Pepsi products from the vending machine and seeing the different characters on the cans from the then upcoming Episode 1. Good times🤘
Man I'm just having a memory, 2 years later, I'm realizing around Episode 1, my mom bought a few 12 pks of those Pepsis. Had ones with Mace Windu, Yoda, the whole lot of Star Wars characters that old, southern US parents will be bewildered by 😂. Always good to come back to watch some good old Barshens
Does a pug even have a "good end"?
Yeah, but it’s somewhere in the middle.

Haven’t seen a glass lucozade bottle for years! I definitely remember getting a bottle of lucozade if I was sick off school.
I miss Barshens. You two plus Eli and Ganon was the perfect mix of cheeky obsessive, and angry. the perfect mix of British Humour
I'd be interested in a laboratory run chemical analysis of so many of these drinks. I imagine all sorts of stuff has been going on at a molecular level since the 'use-by' date flew by.
How has it taken me so long to discover this channel? Been having to binge watch to catch up. Now to rummage through the cupboards, must be something dangerously out of date lurking back there.
Welcome
It took me ages to start watching Ashens and Barry too
But it's worth it
You bozo, this is a Popstation channel, not an old food channel.

>It tastes of sugar, metal, with a hint of soil
So it tastes like regular Pepsi?
"There's a Sea Horse in my Coke" T-Shirt Slogan!
That last ring pull brings back memories of going collecting them on weekends in the 70's/80's for school and probably Blue Peter appeals. There wasn't much else to do back then until Pong, then the time was better spent watching a white square bounce round the black & white TV screen all weekend.😂
Those Arabic Coke cans we always called "Jesus Coke" on the ship as the Arabic writing kinda looks like it says Jesus. We would always get the Jesus Cokes when we transitioned to the Persian Gulf.
21:45 The gulping sound Stuart makes while drinking the Beach Coke is rather unsettling.
And this is how the Pepsivirus began
"sugary bleach"
The internet: I'll buy your entire stock!
Cracked Emerald Lucozade sounded more like a 80s prog rock band
You get the feeling Stuart works as a drug tester or food inspector for a day job. "Let's taste this random stuff that may kill me"
mad lad
I love how they try to keep the conversation going as long as possible in order to delay the inevitable! 🤣
Barry: goes to stuart’s house thinking he’s only trying soda
Stuart: WELL ACTUALLY
always lovely to see you two together, and a wonderfully horrifying taste test as always.
Ashens’ "Shit" when it fizzed was brilliant
21:45 The way that gulp sounded was absolutely terrifying...
Most of all the gases that are normally in the soda has came out and escaped through the opening since cans are not completely sealed. That would have caused it to lose quit a bit of it's mass as well as cause the syrup and sugar to thicken and give it a strange taste.
Oh man I remember that old Pepsi logo... Kinda miss it.
You can have gay buttsex with it then
Oh good, it's time to watch grown men drink fizzy sewage!
The fact that the premise of the video is oh look at how old this is, followed by darth mauls face makes me cry inside. I saw that movie when I was 8 years old.
So this is how the superstars of CZcams live, drinking their vintage French Pepsi out of champagne flutes.
God I miss Barshens
"That can is older than both my children combined" I died lmao

I was in Iraq from 2009-2010, and I also traveled to Dubai. ALL can drinks over there have that same pull off tab thing on them, which i always thought was VERY weird because I had not seen those here in America since the last 80s, very early 90s.
I can just envision these two, in their 60s, in a pub still talking about the same things they talk about in this vid.
To be fair, with beer aficionados in the UK, the "hmm... This tastes off. Here, you try it." conversation is as old as time itself.
Well, looks like you'll have red tide poisoning. Nice knowing you chaps.
"Hint: It's not exactly a taste sensation." Even a horrible sensation is a sensation.
I love how every taste test video is potentially the last video you will ever make 😂

I though Beach Coke was some special tropical party version of Coke I hadn't heard of before. Oh...
Well, nice knowing you guys.
In the middle east all the sodas have ringpull tops because all the factories are old. Coke, Pepsi, fanta, spirit, ect. All ringpull tops.
I LOVED the lemon lucosade, it was AMAZING and very sadly went away about 6 or 10 years years ago, and I’ve missed it every day since like a drug addict (I’m not that bad, but i seriously miss it and I’d do anything to taste it again)
