if you assume there is something wrong
with me I'm gonna argue with you at this
point
[Music]
honestly I don't know how it got to this
I don't know how this is now a thing but
this is now a thing that's happening
apparently I have a quest in life and
that is to taste all of the clear coffee
beverages of the world so you don't have
to and as of today maybe we'll do a
ranking of the most disgusting clear
coffee beverages in the world
so what haha what do I have for you
today
well I saw this on on the internet and
this is how's New York seltzer water
coffee flavored it is shockingly in
limited edition I wonder why it might be
a limited edition but it does contain
174 milligrams of caffeine now I am
grateful to Zac someone on Twitter who
hooked me up with this I seen it I
wanted to know if anyone could buy it
for me he very kindly sorted me out with
two bottles of this I have not yet
tasted it though am i excited I don't
know so how is apparently a guy he's a
very I'm not gonna do like a New York
accent no one needs that but but how is
like a very Brooklyn guy apparently you
like to drink coffee so let's put it in
seltzer water now for those of you not
from North America seltzer water is just
this force carbonated water it's it's
it's not naturally sparkling it's been
carbonated and that's kind of the deal
and I guess these kind of New York
Seltzer things are just flavored
sparkling water
this of course contains no calories it
contains nothing except filtered
carbonated water natural flavors and
caffeine so you know they've dosed
exactly 174 milligrams
why not a nicer rounder number I have no
idea I have no idea that's probably
gonna be a theme of this whole testing
so how's New York seltzer water
it's a good phase that makes me happy
the initial smell oh yeah if you assume
there is something wrong with me I'm not
sure I can argue with you at this point
so this smells a lot like the Asahi
player latte
like a really sweet like very artificial
smell to it I've never had a cup of
coffee that smelled this way oh here we
go
here we go it's it's not right ah so if
you've had these artificially flavored
Seltzer's soft drink things before that
are just like the world's most
disappointing soda its kind of very
watery no texture no sweetness no acid
this does have sweetness but it's very
fake sweetness and the coffee flavor
it's not it's not good it's one saving
grace and by saving grace I'm not sure I
really mean saving grace it's one
borderland redeeming feature is that the
coffee flavor is not very strong it is I
mean it just comes and gets you it like
it's this horrible weird sweet awful
finish but it is it is significantly
less less awful than the other things
I've tasted only because it's not as
strong I'm not saying I'm gonna finish
this you know it's got a vague
suggestion of ashtray about it but then
also just this really gross sweet cheap
caramel cheap vanilla cheap coffee
flavor I'm hoping that how if you're
watching hell sorry
I'm sure I'm sort of hoping Hal does not
make this a permanent in addition to his
lineup because it is not it is not good
there is nothing apart from the caffeine
once again you can buy caffeine in pill
form right so so I don't need a beverage
with caffeine in it that doesn't taste
good you know caffeine is not an excuse
to drink a terrible terrible beverage
like this I'm not I'm not drinking any
more than this because no and why but
it's got a good fizz how so
so okay in in the Power Rankings of
terribleness at the top comfortably is
still player coffee that was by far the
worst beverage I've tasted in this
series second and Lian is the Asahi
Claire latte which is not good and then
at the bottom of the rankings of the
most terrible is how's New York seltzer
water which is redeemed by the fact that
it doesn't actually have that much
flavor and it is pretty carbonated this
is me drinking Claire coffee beverages
so you don't have to signing off say
thanks for watching and I'll perhaps see
you in one of these in the
not-too-distant future have a great day
you
