I can't believe I need to say this but DON'T EAT chicken cooked in NyQuil! Like Tide Pods and questionable Pink Sauce, there are things that are just not meant to be ingested. Today I'm going to explain why the NyQuil chicken challenge is dangerous and why we need to stop trying viral food hacks that we KNOW are bad for us just for the views. Safety first and let's dive in!

The way that the normally very chill Matpat (well when he's not playing games) got _audibly furious_ as this video went on at how irresponsible the media is and how they're gonna get kids hurt by not doing their jobs just goes to show how serious this entire thing is
"Traditional Media - you have failed this city"
dude the bots
Traditional media has gone past being annoyingly misleading to downright irresponsible and manipulative.
None of them are real reporters. They're celebrities just posing for the camera and reading a script of whatever they're told to say.
Rest here traveller, you have seen enough bots

I'm Pretty Sure He Also Broke Character In The First Petscop Video
This is... exactly what happened with Tide Pods. You have to hear about it to even consider trying it, so the more people hear about it (the more it's reported, even if you're being told *not* to do it), the more people will have the idea to try it.
Wow... Two spammers in ten minutes. That's a new record for me.
@@cyberjackal774 you spawned more by acknowledging them lol
Kinda like how so many people know about r34 nowadays, commentary youtubers keep talking about it, thus making people (especially children) find out it's existence
@@user-hp7gc2oy7d Ah, Christ...
it's natural selection
To be honest, I feel oddly scared when Mat is genuinely angry. He always seems like that one teacher you had who was always chill with everything, and the one that you thought you'd never see genuinely angry in a million years.
It's funny to think about this because I have that kind of teacher, lol.
Matt sounding genuinely angry about news outlets ignoring serious events makes me glad that he cares about us all-
how is it ignoring? They pretty much reveled in that event
@@kylethewolf Yeah, but as Mat said, they ignored the heart of the issue. They did focus on it, they just focused on the wrong part and ignored the valuable message that the FDA was trying to spread.
Matpat does not care about you. He is not your friend. He made this video for views and cash. Grow up. 🙄🙄
@dangerousdays2052 how many clickbait CZcamsrs have you been watching some care others don’t, the theorists do, and either way it benefits all, they get money and we get good content. So now shut up and actually watch the video
@@SDFHFGK Wrong. Mat Pat lies in his videos. Stop simping for him.
Matpat using his influence to actually educate people and explain how satire is a very real thing gives me hope in humanity. So much media is pure noise, but it’s the nuggets of knowledge and simple satire that make it enjoyable.
+1 to the OP. Matpat is doing what the news should have done. I'd go into more detail (already tried to), from an epidemiology and information systems design standpoint... but youtube shadowblocked the comment. Literally can't even talk about the underlying causes and mechanisms of problems like this here. In both cases though, the chicken and the blocked comment, the issue is that our information systems reward counterproductive things while punishing beneficial things.

Nuggets? I see what you did there.
haha, nuggets
@im sacred .
As a teenager who was mainly raised by my grandma who watches the news 24/7 and barely has idea of what the internet is, I can't even describe how many of this fake/exaggerated stories the tv reports on have gotten me in trouble for doing absolutely nothing other than watching some youtubers that have nothing to do with those reports/"challenges". The actual fear it gave my grandma for my safety was tremendous every single time. And, of course, is never easy to explain to people that get their news from the tv that the news actually do lie to get people to watch it, is insane.
Pro tip: Just show your grandma this video
@Be Straight stop trying to get views by linking your videos everywhere, I have not clicked it but I know it's not you meeting matpat
@@colacoke2102 bots will be bots and CZcams couldn’t care less.
....he said while feeding his grandma, blue chicken soup.
We need more people like Matpat to spread the message of what the news is doing or it will only get worse so to anyone reading this please clip repost or make your own vid so that we can all spread info on what is going on
Matpat actually got angry during this, which just shows how much he actually cares about people well being. He’s telling people facts to protect us, and still being funny and happy. I love his channel, he’s a great person.
This reminds me of the time you guys covered how the media lied about the Tide-pod challenge, making it seem like a big thing when really it wasn't
Unlike this, you can find ton of caches of ppl actually doing the tide pods
If you research media, you will find that they lie all the time.
I love how every episode, MatPat gets angrier and angrier at the media and big corporate companies. It’s nice seeing someone do real research instead of just trusting whatever they are told.
wait did two bots just make fun of bots?
@@devinmessmer9632 wait did two bots just make fun of bots?
(Making fun of humans) 💀
yes
You really should believe media and bigger companies. The internet lies.
Indeed
And yet we wonder why teenagers and "younger" people are always stereotyped against. Sure, some trends are genuinley stupid, but when the media presents things like this that are meant to be jokes in such a serious light, is when the real problem ensues. Thanks MatPat for presenting this issue at face value with none of the drama and exageration that the news seems to put on it.
Jokes are supposed to be funny though.
How is cooking chicken in Nyquil humorous?

@@0816M3RC considering your test NPC name I doubt you’re actually a human and also because of this goofy ahhhh question.
@@0816M3RC did you not watch the video? Matpat literally says that the whole joke is making fun of the hypothetical dumbass to be dumb enough to do this. Its a meme. A parody of a 4chan thread.
when "older" people are on a wider platform and misrepresenting the stories, that's how a lot of "younger" people can be stereotyped against. there are definitely a bunch of dumb ones, just watch any of the random street question videos, but the majority at least have the common sense to understand satire vs a real trend and (hopefully) don't follow such stupidity
This is why I love Matpat he is just trying to keep the public safe while delivering the truth.
Americans and their dumb trends
I've been been binge-watching your videos. This one goes above and beyond on earning my interest and respect! God bless you and thank you for connecting these dots and shedding light on the reality of it!
Matpat’s doing the lord’s work here 😭 you know the society we live in sucks when a literal CZcamsr gives more accurate news then literal news stations.
Same with Ann Reardon from How To Cook That, she warns of dangerous ‘life hacks’ and is actively trying to get CZcams to implement a way for these hack channels to get taken down since they post and promote stupid and dangerous hacks

Did someone leave you out in the ocean? That must be why there is only one like on your comment.
This is the first I’m hearing of this “trend”. If the news networks can’t even get this right it makes me very fearful on what else they are getting wrong. Another reminder that we all need to do our own homework.
Thank you I said the same thing
Mainstream media is a joke it's all about the views and less about the actual news. This is what sparked the tide pod challenge mainstream media can be dangerous to anyone who takes things at face value
Everything "news" networks put out is cherry picked or outright false
At least for the past two years they have been driving small stuff sky high in popularity. Look at covid.
the news has always made thing a bigger deal when they’re not (or they’re biased and they try to hide the truth about something)
This is TRUE.... Thought I'd never cook with Nyquill... Once day I ate a great chicken burrito that was very hot and about an hour later I took one lid of Nyquill to settle my cough, and I was constipated for three days. My body did not like that at all. NEVER again will I repeat that.
thanks for this video. honestly I hate when the "news" does stuff like this regarding nyquil chicken or tide pods when like everyone participating knows it's just a meme.
That was a close one, if Mat Pat wouldn't have posted this video I would have for sure eaten the dreaded, Blue Chicken. You one of the real ones Mat.

That said, this video didn't go the direction I thought it would, but it was still entertaining and informative. Thank you, Matt
Yeah, it was probably better and more helpful for him to talk about the misinformation rather than just add to the fearmongering
Had me dying when he said that 🤣🤣

*Hi MatPat! I just want to say I love your channel! You always give me new Theories whenever you make your videos. Love the theories and I hope you see this and it makes you happy!*
Food theory video idea: Could eating food you dislike actually make you sick? If so, how? I would love to hear MatPat’s thoughts on this one.
this is the question we all need answers, and taken too little researches.
all scientists think it's not real, but in my case, it is. wonder if there's a severe.
I went in to this thinking matpat was going to talk about why you obviously shouldn’t eat NyQuil chicken but it turned out to be a excellent and refreshing talk about the danger of old school media that doesn’t do it’s research as well as pointing out the real problems they should be covering. Thank you matpat for this, it’s great that every once in a while we get a serious episode that helps educate people about real world issues.
funny how people are calling it old school media
The media frustrates me more than anything else sometimes. Thanks for spreading the word about this, MatPat, it's important for people to know so that hopefully the media reports the actual news... more often? Though that might be a little bit too much to hope
They don't report actual news to begin with.
Yeah that might be a bit much to hope for
Here be the bots
Thank you matpat for everything, we will all miss you
We all will,bruv😔
This isn’t even a theory, it’s an informational video telling the true story about how the news twists facts that suit them and ignores the rest to better benefit themselves and their company. This video was really needed!!!!!!!!
We need more people like matpat
Ok
I agree
we really do
We need more people with common sense in News reporting.
agreed
In all seriousness, I appreciate how thoroughly you researched this topic. It takes so much longer to research the truth than it does to misinterpret or misrepresent it.
And for everyone else out there, please remember that medicine should never ever be misused. And if you know anyone who needs to be taught this, please let them know. It's important enough to have those kinds of conversations even if they are awkward.
Absolutely. I think a lot of people jump straight to mocking people who _might_ be dumb enough to try this, rather than providing them with the information of why it's actually dangerous, and then they act surprised when people don't listen.
I wouldn't want to trust the people mocking me, either.
I appreciate that Matpat took the time to do the bare minimum research as well, yes- but I really hate how the mainstream news didn't- or more likely, did, and then decided to misrepresent it on purpose for views.
A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on

Hey um, just something I Learned the hard way, calling people by there full first name (especially people who go by a fake/state name) is kinda weird and uncomfortable
@@marcellokastro1947 good thing I don't care
Thanks for all the knowledge, MatPat. We’ll miss you but I’m sure the channels will still be good with the new voice whoever it is.
I love that mat pat is talking about the fear mongering news they constantly blow things out of proportion
Gotta love the swarm of bots bruh.
I agree. It's really frustrating to see something that started as "haha funny meme joke. Look how dumb this is." turn into "TEENS ARE REALLY ACTUALLY DOING THIS STUPID AND DANGEROUS THING"
Meh, they do and they don't. Someone said this same thing about the whole "eating tide pods" thing a couple years back until I showed them the statistics from Poison Control in 2018 and 2019 where nearly 11,000 adults contacted the service for help with Tide Pod consumption and over 4,000 adults were hospitalized in the U.S. alone for it. Bare in mind, this isn't including children or specifically teenagers, the ones who mainly partook in the challenge.
Where are these bots coming from?
@@Soclever theyre just there. there aint anything stopping them
I just wanna give MatPat and the whole Theorist team a huge shoutout for being awesome! Mat does a really good job of not only bringing all the facts to light, but also doing it in a safe and mature manner. Their goal is to help the community and they've done it again

Like is Oreo really the greatest to have with milk etc
Ahhhh mike😍
Snickerdoodle is my bet
Rhett and Link did the “what’s the next best thing for dipping cookies in” idea a bit ago
Agreed. And also which one retains its' structure the longest when half-soaked.

Soak and cook your chicken with pickle juice!!! Sounds gross but it’s so surprisingly amazing!!!
Hello my fellow pigeon. And yes, it's amazing. The lactic acid in the pickle juice helps make meat more tender. It's got an extra little funk and tanginess thanks to the fermentation process the cucumbers.

It's honestly a pretty funny idea to think that it would be safe just because it's DayQuil instead

Dissolving aderall is a medically accepted way to dose it. My pediatrician would tell any patients taking it to dissolve it in juice when they had a sore throat so they didn’t have to swallow a pill

@@bluejedi723 no they did his point was that it was forgotten after a week but the news coverage made it actually popular and made a lot of people do
The fact MatPat says it's a fact, for like the first time ever, really tells you something.
Trust me, the sheer thought of eating chicken cooked with a sleep aid doesn’t sound pleasant nor smart. No need to convince me
Mad respect for sitting down and doing this. It points out a level of thought and effort you put into these videos in particular. A bad film theory is a funny curiosity. A bad food theory could hurt someone, and I’m glad you’ve pointed out how problematic the news reporting was. I’d love to see you do this kind of thing more often about these kinds of food scares and how trendy reporting distorts it.
Mainstream journalists are an enemy of the people.
I'll admit I was worried to click on this and watch Matpat talk about NyQuil for too long about what was obviously a joke, but I was pleasantly surprised and loved this one. Good work Matpat and friends!
My family asks me if i know about these challenges that they see on the news and im like "ive never even heard of that"
That Dayquil bit in the beginning had me dyin'. 😆
Mat-Pat just saved millions of people from _certain death_ with this video alone.
Yes
Oh my god
So many bots
@u know me done
Probably more than we can imagine 😔🖐️
When my mom told me this was a thing people were actually doing I was absolutely skeptical, I didn’t do the research however so I gave into that assumption, im glad people like Mat are bringing this information to the light and going deeper because even if I did do research by skimming articles I don’t know how deep I’d have to go to find accurate information, so this is just another reminder that you have to make sure your sources are valid and to just be aware and critical of what information is given to you
GOLUM: czcams.com/video/0-rj80lMBzc/video.html
Yeah, it's pretty difficult to find reliable information nowadays since even the supposedly "credible" sources have fallen into the trend of presenting surface level information that falls flat because of a lack of context :/
Don't forget to share this with your mom, too. Because I'm going to have to share it with my impressionable elders as well.
Just trust matpat, he’ll save your mother and you.
Ok, can you leave off the fcking kitchen now bro, I’m tryna get out your father’s bedroom without being noticed by your mother.
See, there was one class in college I took that centered around the news and how we should view them. In short, I think it was one of the best classes I’ve taken simply because we spent 10-12 weeks looking at news sources and stories on our own, and just actually reading and analyzing them. It was all about being aware of what exactly the news was saying, as well as checking their sources and the context that either the stories or sources emerged from.
This video reminded me exactly why that class was important, and why it’s critical to look at the sources and context of EVERY news story.
And this is just a personal opinion, but I feel like some outlets just want more attention by showing crazy stories. (A Scathing hot take, I know.)
I am so glad my daughter found your videos.. Thank you so much for having engaging common sense building, honest videos that don’t make me want to unsubscribe and block you, like 98% of the other channels my daughter finds.

When the Benadryl suddenly had an age-restriction, people were very confused. (I work at a pharmacy.) The news never really said anything about it. Would have been a great opportunity to advocate for medicine safety at home.

Yeah. I was confused myself when cold/allergy medicine suddenly had age restriction. Now I know why, and the reason is honestly sad.
@@rpggirl017 that's more to do with it having the potential to make meth. the reason they card you which is only on certain types is to track potential illegal activity there's a state and federal database on how much someone buys

Yup, did a project last year about the media. It was for a darker topic but I ended up finding out how much the media loves fear mongering and making things worse. I didn't end up finishing and submitting the project because 1. it was lengthy and 2. didn't need it for my grade so it really helped during the heaviest part of the semester. But I felt a bit guilty about not finishing it. Thanks MatPat for bringing the media out about this.

Let's be fair, here, though. The traditional media that MatPat talked about and showed in his video was entirely comedy pieces and Good Morning America daytime stuff. This wasn't real news discussing real events in detail, it was entirely entertainment stuff using "current events people are talking about". MatPat probably should've pointed out the difference in the video. Heck, I've seen some of those shows outright tell people not to use them as their main source of news, as they're meant for entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending this kind of stuff, but it is important to note that these shows aren't held to the same journalistic standard as real reporting, and we shouldn't lump the two together.
@@josephb.1425 may I ask who or what source you consider to be held to a higher “journalistic standard”
I completly agree with this because the news havent covered any of the serious challenges like the kiki challenge, the blackout challenge or the hot boiling water challenge that ACTUALLY hurt people and teenagers and have been fatal!(If you dont know what these challenges included here it is : The kiki challenge had teenagers jumping out of a moving car and dancing and then to get back in.This challenge was dangerous for obvious reasons and 1 teenager even fractioned her skull. Secondly, the blackout challenge wich based on the name itself screams danger. The challenge had people choking themselfs till you know they blackout and in some cases this challenge had been fatal for some. Lastly , the hot boiling water challenge had teens pouring hot boiling water on their sleeping friends. That can cause second or even third degree burns that can have an effect on your body for a long time.) And did the news ever cover that NO.
One of the people at my middle school did the knockout challenge and passed out. Ambulance was called.
She was leaning against the brick wall of the school, holding her breath, her friend thumping her chest to 'get the air out'. And she just passed out.
It amazes me the stupidity of some of these challenges. No thought to the harm that could come to themselves or people around them. And they act so shocked when the bad things DO happen
i bet the news casters just read the script and were confused and didn't knew the full picture
Yo, Mat got real ticked this episode. Good on you for that clear language warning near the end.
What?
For a more detailed explanation of *what* NyQuil chicken theoretically does to humans, I recommend ChubbyEmu's video on the same topic, if you like medical case-study informations. He's also done several videos on allergy med abuse.
I blame the media for dramatizing it, because getting more eyes on it and calling it a challenge will inevitably lead to someone doing it.
Why are the bots attacking this video?

thank you, matt. i was just sitting down for a hot plate of NyQuil Chicken when I saw this video. absolute life saver.
XD
@@laa2570 imagine a bot saying he is not a bot in the same coment sound like a good strat
they say if you eat the nyquil chicken and the dayquil chicken at the same time your body takes a screenshot
Why mainstream media is like this is one of the biggest questions in life
Just goes to show how traditional news has devolved into grabbing at any trending headlines by any means instead of reporting on actual news that could legitimately prevent injury, sicken or in the worst cases death
Thankfully we’ve got intellectuals like the Theorist channels to keep us informed on serious matters, whilst also bringing entertaining brain food
Media has always been about "clickbait" since the very beginning. It's about getting views on whatever platform the media is on, newspapers, videos, live broadcasts, etc.
The only difference now is that it has become increasingly easier to fact check these stories thus making it even more unacceptable for such shameless behavior in supposedly professional and trusted platforms.
Yep. 24hr news cycle broke natural reporting in favor of click bait equivalent.
news has been like this since like the 1800s its not new lol.
@@quoteclone sensational, yes. But the feedback loop is effectively instant now, as opposed to weeks or months, so the outrage/interest needs to be kept high to retain views. Make newspapers started as mailing lists for political party members, then evolved into proper journalism. The pendulum has effectively swung back the other way, but with greater reach.
@@Grandwigg can't argue with you there, only facts
You gotta love it when CZcams has more common sense than news media today
youtube is even more guilty than the news tho
It was a joke no one actually ate it or i hope no one took the trend to far
Oh i just got to the part where he said not to even cook it for the meme
Thanks, i was dousing everything in NyQuil before, and you saved my life.

We need way more people like Matt. He's doing what the news has failed to do: shut down fake stories and teach us about the real issues
Pls don't go in the replies, it's a minefield
US so bad country so many issues in social sphere
ok
He isn't teaching you anything
Lucky that there are no bots here
Why did you sight the guardian as a source not only less credible than cnn plus they Called PewDiePie a anti🔯 and Na(the soldiers)zi
call the BLM riots riots ☠️ 25 ppl and 1 to 2 billion in damages look it up. Even the Bee says 22
This is literally the first I've ever heard of Nyquil chicken. This whole thing definitely reminds me of the Tide Pod situation, if was just a meme until the news blew it up. That was when people started getting hurt, I wouldn't be surprised if we start hearing stories of people actually trying it now.
Aside from the bots, that's definitely gonna happen
So basically tide pod challenge part 2, media stop dammit you make it worse!

@@Frostyviewer they cant help it, they are addicted to misconstruing info to get ratings and clicks. Not defending it just highlighting the bs.
True.
Very, very good video. I respect you for sharing this. I have 3 kids (2 of which are teenagers) , and I appreciate the truth of what you shared....not just the click bait-type clip that mainstream media shared. 👏👏
You had me at, "Ironic that an independent youtuber has to be the one with some semblance of journalistic standards".
Subbing.
This is why the porcelain challenge exists. For those who don’t know, the porcelain challenge is a challenge that isn’t a challenge, the joke is we’re tricking the media into thinking kids are grinding up and snorting porcelain to see if they realize it’s a joke.
They have not realized nor will they ever realize.
I promise you, kids are now grinding up porcelain and snorting it. Stop doing that
@@harrisonkenney6246 i really doubt that.
@@harrisonkenney6246 I really hope that was a joke because as a kid that is utterly ridiculous AND a dumb way to die
@@harrisonkenney6246 The pica in me wants to actually do that
I love that someone is finally pointing out through the media how TV can be very misleading about the media because we’re a “young generation with too much time” we can always count on Mat to be the defending voice for team internet🤝💪
Matt grilling the news is something I'm here for
"There has never been an attempt to eat this thing"
That one kid from the Chubbyemu video: *Is that a challenge*
Thank you so much for this! It's so stupid that a CZcams channel is better at figuring this out than the entire MSM.
Because the media usually doesn't want to figure things out, they usually just want to demonize the internet
True i agree

Thank you for the mention. 🙏🏾 I was tryna tell ‘em 🤦🏾♂️
Sucks that your one reply was a scam, so I took care of that for you
hey action, thanks for starting the much needed wisdom spread.
बहुत खूब
Funny how a CZcams video dedicated to food has more research chops than news stations whose job it is to research these things
but even if it wasn’t deadly, like why would you?
I’m so happy I found this video, as I was literally cooking chicken and pouring cough syrup on top to get a buzz, so thank you!
I feel like this is important to Mat so much more then the average person because he has a son growing up in this age, and I bet other parents, feel the same. Thanks for using your voice Mat, we need more entertainer/educators like you.
And please Mat, may you and Steph (I actually happen to share the same name as her, go figure) keep Ollie safe from this age of corruption in this sadly corrupt world we live in..
I would never think people would legitimately think this is a good idea
Same

@@imbetterthanalllofyou2645 SHUT UP
yea... and nobody did... whats your point?
This is exactly why I try to disconnect from the news and do my own research, or rely on Matpats videos haha. They're all just as shady as the next studio.
i love how fast these vidoes are keeping my attention with all the colours and shi
FULLY AGREE with your points here. I hate watching the media report on the internet at large - if you're not ON these sites and not part of the culture, you'll be hard-pressed to accurately explain the full context surrounding it.
I'm really grateful that you're bringing this topic up because by making this video your fixing the mistake that the news made. You also probably saved lots of people from doing ANY dumb Tiktok "trends" involving medicine
Thank you.
That's not really the problem here the Problem is the people who seen the video think of it as Serious
