00:01I don't know if I should expect to find Eye of Newt in part of their ingredient list.
00:04Here's your spooky spot on the Alani New Witch's Brew Energy Drink.
00:27Now, I don't know anything at all, really, when it comes to marketing.
00:30This is from Alani New, A-L-A-N-I-N-U.
00:34But the way that they've separated the two words from one another,
00:37and that this has a little droopy thing coming down from the hue,
00:41it actually does look like it says Alani New York, or the abbreviation of New York.
00:45I don't know if Alani's visited New York, but apparently packed inside of their cargo
00:49was a cauldron that had tentacles coming out of it.
00:53The tentacles, by the way, though, seem to be also holding candy caramel apples.
00:56Maybe that's the flavor of what this Witch's Brew is going to be.
00:59It has only zero grams.
01:01I say only, only would basically still mean there's a number.
01:04But the fact that it's being represented by a zero, I guess I couldn't really say it only has.
01:10It has no sugar, no sugar at all.
01:12Not just that, but it also has 140 milligrams of caffeine.
01:16It is vegan-free, and it's also glucose-free.
01:20So if you're worried that you're going to be consuming anything that has derived from an animal,
01:24I guess I knew it would technically be considered still an animal.
01:27It is at least vegan.
01:29Thank goodness for that, that the energy drink is vegan.
01:32You can also follow them over on socials.
01:34There's X, which would have normally been Twitter, Facebook, and also Instagram.
01:39Alani New, even though it does say really like Alani New York.
01:43The back of the jar, by the way, the back of the can,
01:45says that it's only 15 calories per one can of 355 milliliters.
01:51Fiber is zero.
01:52Oh, geez, I was hoping to get my daily dose of fiber inside of this energy drink.
01:56Sugar, again, is only zero.
01:58Sugar alcohols is also zero grams.
02:01Protein is zero.
02:02Cholesterol is zero.
02:03Just between you and me, by the way,
02:05when I start to see this many zeros on the back of any can,
02:08when it comes to what is contained inside,
02:10I know right away this thing's going to taste like club soda.
02:12It's going to have no flavor, no flavor at all.
02:16It does also say, what do we got here?
02:19It's got some vitamin B.
02:20Vitamin B.
02:21It has, hold on, there's space dust in the way of this.
02:25Is that 110 calories?
02:27110%?
02:29It might even be 150.
02:30I can't even barely make that out.
02:31It's 125 of also vitamin B.
02:35This would all be things that,
02:36after when I'm looking at this in the editing room,
02:39the editing studio that we have all set up here,
02:41I'm sure then I would be able to read that.
02:43I can't read that at all right now.
02:44It includes, though, naturally occurring and supplemental amounts.
02:49That's great.
02:51As for, though, the ingredients,
02:53we've got carbonated water,
02:54we've got citric acid,
02:55we've got tartine, sodium,
02:57we've got stuff, we've got stuff.
02:59Caution, not recommended for those under 14 years of age,
03:02pregnant or breastfeeding women,
03:04or those individuals sensitive to caffeine.
03:07Do not drink more than one of these servings per day.
03:10High caffeine content.
03:12And then it says basically the exact same thing,
03:15au français.
03:15This guy speaks very little.
03:18Parlez, un petit parler français.
03:21Even then, somebody who knows French better than me
03:23would say this guy is just butchering the language.
03:26Let's not see if we can hopefully butcher this.
03:28What I'm actually first going to do
03:29is I'm going to grab myself a glass.
03:32What, you don't have skull glasses in your castles?
03:35I figure this would also be probably a good glass to use
03:38because I also want to show you guys
03:39what this would look like,
03:41not just simply drinking it from the can
03:44because how exciting really is that?
03:45I'm instead going to pour it inside
03:47of this tall crystal skull.
03:50Indiana Jones is as far as nowhere to be found.
03:53Just so you guys can see the coloring of this.
03:55I'm going to guess right away
03:56that this thing is either going to be super clear.
03:59In other words, like no flavor, no color, no nothing.
04:01Or at the very most,
04:03it's probably going to be like a very light green.
04:04Maybe even like the coloring of this backdrop here.
04:07Let's open this up.
04:09Some would say right now,
04:10this guy's already had way too much caffeine.
04:11I've actually had zero amounts of caffeine.
04:13I'm just living on oxygen alone.
04:17Let's open up the can here.
04:18Give this a try.
04:19The Alani New, I don't know.
04:21It still doesn't say, it says Alani New York.
04:24Let's give this a pour.
04:27And it's not at all really the coloring
04:29I was expecting it to be.
04:30It looks almost like beer.
04:33I can't tell you whether,
04:34I'm pretty sure it isn't beer.
04:36But I guess if it really was caramel apple,
04:38which again, based at least on the way
04:40they've described and designed this can,
04:42and I'm thinking it's probably like a caramel apple.
04:44Caramel really is like a brown color.
04:47And I'm taking just a smell of that.
04:50Can you smell that right now?
04:51Oh, wait, no, we're not in 2075 yet,
04:53where we have smell-o-tube.
04:55Some channels are a little worser to watch.
04:58Let me just tell you smell-o-tube.
04:59But it does look possibly like it's a caramel color.
05:03Making me again think.
05:06I can definitely smell, I feel like a sour apple.
05:10Could you just imagine if looking at this,
05:12it looks like caramel apple.
05:13I smell what I think I could best describe
05:16as caramel apple.
05:17And yet the flavoring of this is completely out of whack.
05:20It doesn't at all taste like that.
05:21It just tastes like a witch's feet.
05:23I would not want to drink a soda
05:24that tastes like a witch's feet.
05:26What does a witch's brew taste like exactly?
05:29Well, let's give it a try and find out.
05:37Oh, there's a variety of surprises happening right now.
05:42It starts like it should really be like a sour apple.
05:46Then it starts to introduce other flavors
05:49I really wasn't again expecting.
05:51I taste a little bit of caramel.
05:53I taste a little bit of chemicals.
05:55I taste a little bit of almost like a beer,
05:59even though I'm sure there's probably no,
06:00well, there's none at all.
06:02If I'm looking again on the back of the can here.
06:05For this having zero grams,
06:07and let me just look at this again
06:08to make sure I've read this right.
06:10Yeah, zero grams of sugar.
06:13There is nothing at all in this can
06:15that tastes like it would have zero grams of sugar.
06:18It's full of flavor.
06:19However, it's full of sweetness.
06:21To tell me face to face that this has no sugar whatsoever,
06:25I would call you a fipper face.
06:27I would hope that we could still be friends
06:28after I would have called you a fipper face.
06:30But there, again, I feel like there's lots more sugar in there
06:33than what they're actually telling you.
06:35Zero grams.
06:36I certainly don't taste zero grams of sugar.
06:38Again, I taste some sour apple.
06:40I taste caramel.
06:41I taste like a cough syrup in there.
06:43There's just a lot of things thrown to the wall
06:45to see if they would stick.
06:46And apparently, when it comes to Alani Nu,
06:49everything stuck on the wall.
06:52Let's give this one more try.
06:53Just to make sure.
06:53I want to fully invest in this
06:55and just not tell you guys.
06:56Like, just from an initial sip,
06:57this is what it tastes like.
06:58We're going to give it one more try.
07:00Witches Brew, Alani Nu.
07:02I just realized that.
07:03Now that rhymed.
07:13There's some middle-of-the-way
07:15halfway through this journey,
07:16there's a flavor that just meets us on the roadway.
07:20And I can't really quite place what it is.
07:22I get, again, sour apple.
07:24I get the end kind of remaining flavors of caramel.
07:28But there's something right there in the middle.
07:31Maybe it's like, again, it kind of has, I guess,
07:33maybe a little bit of a Red Bull flavor.
07:35Mixed in there, though, with sour apple and caramel.
07:39There's a lot of medley of stuff going on here.
07:41Everybody is joining in on this journey
07:44that we're going down the road.
07:45But it's a strong flavor.
07:48I don't know, though, if I would probably want to...
07:51Drinking this only once, I think,
07:52would be more than enough for me.
07:53I like the flavoring of it,
07:54but I'm not really one that drinks a lot of energy drinks.
07:57If it really wasn't for the fact it says,
07:58Witches Brew on the front of the can,
08:00I probably...
08:00Let's just turn the skull around here.
08:02I probably would not have invested
08:04in getting another energy drink.
08:05I sort of wanted to cut myself cold turkey and say,
08:08never again would I try myself an energy...
08:10Not at all would I ever drink any more energy drinks.
08:12It's just not good for you.
08:14The flavoring on this is something
08:16that you have to taste to experience.
08:17Because, again, it has apparently no sugar,
08:20but I could tell you, it's super sweet,
08:22and there's a whole lot of flavor
08:24being thrown inside this can.
08:26As a side note, though,
08:27I remember having a party in a high school...
08:29A high school Halloween party
08:31back in the days.
08:32I was probably liking grade two,
08:33and we had to make Witches Brew.
08:35Witches Brew, by the way,
08:35wasn't an energy drink.
08:36I don't think the teachers at that point
08:38were handing to two-year-olds,
08:39grade two-year-olds,
08:40grade twos, grade twos,
08:42Witches Brew energy drinks.
08:44But it consisted of like Welch's grape juice,
08:48ginger ale, and I think apple juice.
08:50It was kind of like all those three things mixed together.
08:52I don't know where this teacher came up with this recipe.
08:54Maybe it was passed down generation to generation,
08:56but that was the recipe.
08:58And I remember I had to go out
09:00and I had to buy the apple juice.
09:01I was the guy that was assigned...
09:03They said, you know,
09:04hey, can you go get apple juice?
09:06And back then,
09:07I don't know if we...
09:08Do they still sell them now,
09:09the cans, the tins of apple juice?
09:11Where you had the little triangular can opener,
09:14you had to pop in the top
09:15and it made like a little triangular shape,
09:16and then you would pour this tin of apple juice.
09:20I poured two jars, two cans,
09:22I guess two cans of apple juice.
09:24Welch's grape juice was thrown in there as well.
09:26And then the last finishing touches of that
09:29would have been ginger ale.
09:30That's back then what we would have thought
09:32was Witches Brew.
09:33Nobody at all cares about that story
09:35I just finished telling you guys about.
09:36The point though is,
09:38Alani Nu is a different, interesting flavor.
09:40It's worth trying,
09:41but I don't think after you've tried it
09:43the first time,
09:43you could ever probably want to try it again.
09:46Have you guys had a chance to try
09:47the Alani Nu,
09:48which is Brew Energy Drink?
09:50If you have,
09:50let me know what you guys think of it
09:51down below in the comment section.
09:52Try your best as well to describe it.
09:54It's not always the easiest thing,
09:56I got to tell you.
09:56You think it's just a simple thing
09:58to prop up a camera,
09:59hit the on button,
10:00and just start talking away
10:01in front of the camera.
10:02But there's a lot of things
10:03that have to go into that as well.
10:04And especially when you try something
10:06for the very first time,
10:07you're never quite really sure
10:09how to describe a flavor.
10:11I could simply just tell you
10:12that it's like a sour apple,
10:14that it's a little bit of caramel,
10:15and there's something else
10:16in there as well.
10:16But it's not really until
10:18you try this for yourself
10:19that you'd be a proper,
10:20a better judge
10:21because you know exactly
10:22how things taste.
10:23And even then,
10:24if somebody was to ask you
10:25seconds after only sipping it,
10:26what exactly did the flavor
10:27taste like?
10:28I don't think right there
10:29at that moment,
10:30put on the spot
10:31with everybody watching you,
10:32you could be able to go through
10:34and recite all the things
10:35that are in the recipe.
10:37Again, if you've tried this,
10:38let me know down below
10:38in the comments section
10:39what you guys think
10:40of the Alani New
10:41Witches Brew Energy Drink.
10:43If you guys have enjoyed
10:44this spooky video,
10:44please do, of course,
10:45do this all and hit it
10:46with a like.
10:46And if you guys also want
10:47to stalk me over on socials,
10:49you can find again
10:49all those links down below.
10:52Hopefully nowhere near
10:52a coven of witches
10:54because I don't think they're,
10:55you know,
10:55they're probably not making
10:56witches brew out of ginger ale.
10:58Apple juice
10:58and Welch's grape juice.
11:00They're probably going to be
11:00making out of bodies
11:01and children that they find
11:03along the way.
11:04But also if you need a fix
11:05for more video content
11:06during the month of Spottober,
11:07there's a place for that.
11:08There's a spot for that.
11:09It's right here.
11:10No, probably near Witches Brew,
11:12but it's right here
11:13inside the videos.
