pay no attention to that man behind the curtain just like in The Wizard of Oz we're pulling back
the curtain to reveal the top 10 foods you eat that are a lie ignorance is bliss bacon bits stop
eating guys getting out the frying pan for that Smoky and salty flavoring can be a lot of work but
not to worry bacon bits have you covered well kind of many households have praised bacon bits for the
convenient and quick ability to transform a rather boring meal into a smoky Savory Paradise with the
shake of a bottle but what many don't realize is that the magical bacon sprinkles may not even be
bacon or meat at all you're probably more shocked than when you found out about Santa Claus well
maybe it's not that serious but it's still quite a surprise now this doesn't mean that all bacon bits
are meatless but a majority of brands on the market as it turns out are all you have to do
is take a quick look at the ingredients list and you'll quickly see they're made from soy flour and
canola oil along with lots of artificial flavors to replicate the taste of the smokiness in real
bacon the main reason companies are able to get away with this leading title is simply because of
a marketing loophole Loop Hall Loop Hall loop hole enough the product is marketed as bacon flavored
rather than bacon itself so companies technically aren't doing anything legally wrong and they may
have had you fooled like many others due to the near perfect copy in taste I'll just eat whatever
you put in front of me American cheese it's fake the likelihood is that at some point you've come
across this memorable golden slice of cheese it's a staple in American fast food chains and a go-to
for many families when making homemade burgers as well as grilled cheese sandwiches and while
it may be called American cheese cheese is the farthest thing from what it actually is as the
name is truly deceiving not only is the name not accurate in the description but the cheese itself
actually originated in Switzerland in the early 1900s he's not even American so if it isn't real
cheese and it isn't actually American how and why is it labeled as American cheese well while the
product was invented in Switzerland it was quickly patented by an American man named James Lewis
craft a Canadian American entrepreneur in 1916. after recreating and patenting the pasteurized
cheese product craft intended for the cheese to have a longer shelf life than regular cheese while
still tasting fresh as it turns out American cheese does have cheese in it but is primarily
made by grinding together old and new cheese then adding an emulsifier which is an additive that
helps wet ingredients like oil and water combine emulsifying salt is then added to the American
cheese to keep the product smooth so when it's melted the product stays together and has that
iconic stringy effect that it's best known for Pringles wrinkles are for champions only Pringles
first came to fruition in the late 1960s under the name of newfangled potato chips however they were
later renamed Pringles they were the perfect chip salty but not too greasy paired with the perfect
crunch in every bite not to mention the countless flavors well you'd assume that Pringles are simply
just another potato chip that assumption would be wrong Sheldon what are the ingredients in Pringles
Pringles are actually only 42 percent potato with the remainder being composed of corn flour and
rice flour as well as wheat starch and vegetable oils some more attentive consumers may have
noticed that the company doesn't call them potato chips at all but rather potato crisps that's not
just a preference the company made it's actually due to a legal encounter with the United States
Food and Drug Administration in the mid 70s as technically due to the ingredients and production
process Pringles don't qualify to be considered third actual potato chips nevertheless whatever
you want to call them Pringles will always be an iconic and delicious snack new to babletop then

doc well something's up with these carrots baby carrots have long been a favorite on-the-go snack
as well as a healthy lunchbox option for kids they're small conveniently sized and as far as
veggies go they're pretty sweet but have you ever wondered how baby carrots are so small
cute and overall such a perfect shape the answer may shock you as it turns out baby carrots don't
grow into the well-rounded shape but rather are shaped down from two inch strips cut from a more
traditional looking carrot a traditional carrot is harvested from the fields then immediately
put in trucks and taken to a facility where they're washed and sorted by size cut peeled
and Polished into perfect bite-sized pieces besides the Imposter baby carrots matchsticks
and even colored carrots are available for a wide range in variety I just want carrots the banana
have you ever bit into a delicious banana and thought Hmm this tastes man-made probably not
well in actuality the modern banana is a man-made hybrid of the wild Musa accuminata and Musa
balbiciana banana species that are typically found in the forests of South Asia now unlike
the traditional banana the Musa cuminata has a fleshy inside kind of like a pumpkin and has a
very unpleasant taste luckily for us early humans figured out that the Musa balbiciana
has a pleasant tasting inside contrary to the ecuminata and managed to cross breed the two
species resulting in the delightful banana we enjoy to this day now this all sounds exciting
and rather simple how hard could cross breeding plants be not the process of cross breeding the
two species didn't happen overnight in fact much like Man's Best Friend the canine bananas have
been domesticated by humans over thousands of years and have seemed to have aged like a fine
wine well if you ask me the bouquet is a little too robust for Mellow crab sticks I think it's
fake crap is this fake crab sticks this crab inspired concoction has become quite popular
over the past few decades but not many people really know what they're eating the crab stick
first came about in 1973 when a seafood company called sugio invented a prototype version of the
crab stick originally named a couple years down the road in 1975 the brown osaki reinvented the
product in the stick form we're more familiar with today most commonly found in seafood salad
California sushi rolls and much more crab sticks have certainly found their way into many homes
but what many don't know is that they aren't made from crab at all but rather concentrated
Whitefish protein how appetizing fish meat is shredded down and rinsed repeatedly douse
artificial flavoring and eventually formed into the more easily recognized sticks you may notice
depending on where you buy them the crab sticks tend to come in different colors but this is
actually just for visual recognition as the color represents a big part of the crab stick's identity
as well as the flavor in countries such as France Belgium and the US the sticks tend to have more
of an orange coloring to them as they are crab flavored but for other parts of the world such
as Asia you can typically find them in a red or pink which are flavored like lobster and clam
next time you're out and about and happen to pick up some crab sticks just remember you're actually
just eating a regular fish in Disguise fishy indeed man what you've been getting parmesan
cheese this is a wall of Lies parmesan cheese is incredibly versatile and indisputably delicious
and it's likely you have some form of it in your fridge right now it's been around for centuries
and comes with a lot of history you may not be aware of the ingredients of real parmesan are
quite simple as the cheese is to be made with the same four ingredients without failure milk
salt bacteria cultures and rennet sounds kind of similar to about every other cheese on the planet
who would have guessed traditionally parmesan is actually called Parmigiano-Reggiano as parmesan
is simply the American translation if you've ever had true parmigiano while traveling abroad
you've been lucky enough to taste the real deal but when you buy it produced locally in the U.S
you could be getting almost anything but while traditional parmesan has just the four basic
ingredients companies such as Kraft have been adding three other ingredients which include
cellulose powder potassium sorbate and cheese cultures making this so-called parmesan almost
unrecognizable to cultured taste buds components of food satisfaction salty sweet sour bitter
Umami odor sound so while you may be getting the basic ingredients of true parmesan you're also
getting a lot more than you bargained for and in this case it isn't a good thing sorry no refunds
chicken tikka masala Tiki chicken Tiki ah chicken tikka masala yeah there's nothing quite like
dropping in at your favorite Indian restaurant to enjoy a steaming hot plate of chicken tikka masala
but what you may not know is that the dish isn't quite the authentic Indian dish you've been led
to believe this world-renowned dish can be found in Indian restaurants all across the world with
countless variations to satisfy anyone's personal taste so then where does this famed dish truly
come from in India India totally love India well as it turns out the dish was actually brought to
the mainstream and none other than the country of bagpipes and green rolling Landscapes Scott
land the dish itself was invented when a Bengali Chef by the name of Ali Ahmed Aslam
had to improvise after a customer returned his dish for being too dry and rather than wasting
the perfectly good food he grabbed a spoonful of hot creamy tomato soup and handed it back
to the customer the unsuspecting customer loved it and so tikka masala was born you'd expect the
chef to be on a stage with improv skills like that while the Dish's Origins have been fought
over this creamy Scottish dish will continue to be enjoyed by its lovers for years to come nuts
nuts are a lie well in a way the name nut has been attached to many nut-like foods purely for their
appearance and while it makes life easier in a culinary sense the name of the delicious snacks
suggests that they are indeed nuts however botanically speaking legumes and droops are
completely different and have simply been labeled nuts in many cases let's start with peanuts which
are actually more related to peas and beans and not nuts while more traditional tree nuts grow
in well trees such as pecans walnuts and almonds peanuts grow below ground I guess the name Peanut
is more literal than originally thought the nuts within the shell are actually seeds and
are enclosed in their pods before being harvested and dried thoroughly the seeds are part of the
plant family leguminosae Wingardium Leviosa which may sound like a Harry Potter spell but the name
commonly represents the P family when it comes to pecans walnuts and almonds they're actually droops
they are closer to mangoes olives and cherries than nuts themselves this is due to them being
grown in trees covered in a soft exterior with the seed in the middle but unlike cherries or
mangoes we only eat the seeds of pecans walnuts and almonds if you're curious to know what a true
nut is think of a dry hard fruit in a hard shell such as chestnuts and hazelnuts which typically
don't split on their own well then I learned something new today coffee and cocoa beans
while many coffee and hot chocolate enthusiasts may use National Bean day as an excuse to slip an
extra cup into their day as it turns out they may have celebrated too quickly I have to apologize
it seems coffee and cocoa beans are not beans at all what although we regularly use the terms
coffee beans and cocoa beans neither are actually beans just like peanuts Society
has agreed on the common vernacular and simply labeled them something that they aren't as it
turns out coffee beans are actually the pit seeds of bright red berries known as
coffee cherries and while that may sound like a delightful dessert the berries are small and
fleshy and can be found in a variety of colors each contains a strong amount of caffeine and
antioxidants making them both delicious and a great source for coffee beans cocoa beans which
are responsible for everyone's secret pleasure chocolate aren't technically beans either their
seeds from the cocoa pod which is a fruit of the seobroma cacao tree which means food of the Gods
when talking about chocolate a truer meaning there could not be [Music] looking for more just tap or
