Eating old or expired food is extremely dangerous.
- [Old Smokey] We do this at home, but you shouldn't.
(kitchen timer bell rings)
- Oh, yeah. (whispering)
- All right.
- Ugh.
- That'll--
I don't know.
That'll wake you up in the morning.
It hits your tongue like,
"oh that's not bad, it's like a berry blast."
And then a little bit of the oil hits,
and now it's all burning.
It's all burning.
- [Old Smokey] Oh, for sure.
Just like whiskey.
It's fruity, but also bitter.
- Hmm.
I'll tell you what I don't get anything of, fish.
It wasn't one part of that is fishy.
- Mixing the alcohol with the cod liver oil
was more like a neutralizer.
They've eliminated the fish flavor from cod liver oil.
- Yeah. I'd take three tablespoons.
Like in the morning if this was next to my bedside
1919 Josh on his way to a factory job,
I'd just pick it up, swig it, on my day.
- I wonder what kind of changes this could've went through
over the last hundred years, though.
I mean, is it safe to consume three tablespoons of this?
Are you supposed to shake this up?
Like a medicine or a tonic, what do you do?
- Shake it. - You shake well before.
Right? - Yeah.
- I mean, it just makes sense.
Let's shake it up.
That's good.
All right, oh it smells a lot stronger.
- You ready?
- Yep. - Go.
- Oh. (sighs)
(sighs)
- It's deep in my chest.
- [Josh] Yep.
- That was stronger than the first go around.
- The shake up works.
- I mean, it definitely incorporated
more of the ingredients, I think, throughout.
- Still doesn't taste fishy.
- I'm telling you, man, this is one for the books.
- The daily dose says three tablespoons.
Will you take a third tablespoon with me?
- Sure, why not?
We're two in, what's one more?
All right.
Down the hatch.
(sighs)
- There's something about that first bite.
- Yeah.
- And then it--
- Curls my face up.
- And then it just, like, dissipates.
I'm thoroughly impressed.
- It doesn't feel or seem like I'm taking some kind of oil.
I was legitimately afraid of the oil consistency.
It, literally, is like one of my nightmares,
and it isn't bad.
I anticipated my mouth being just coated with that oil.
- Yeah.
- I don't get an oily residue in my mouth.
- Nope.
- I have no complaints, I have nothing negative to say.
I guess as the day goes on,
we'll see if there's any negative effects.
- [Josh] The claims on the bottle are
it's a tonic, it's a stimulant, nutritive.
Again, I guess it's nutritious.
- [Old Smokey] Nutritious, I guess.
I mean, it's got a lot of vitamin D in it, we know that.
- [Josh] And digestive.
I think the main one that we proved is it's free from nausea
and the taste of fish.
I thought I was gonna puke for sure.
I haven't, yet.
But we saw oil in here.
- Yeah.
- It just didn't taste like oil.
- It did look oily.
- Whatever Hagee's claimed on their bottle was 100% true.
It does not taste fishy at all.
And the fact that it's 100 years old
and we were able to take three teaspoons of it,
and be standing here with semi smiles on our faces.
- [Old Smokey] I'm impressed.
- [Josh] Pretty impressed.
