- We're gonna do what we've been planning
on doing for a long time, which is gonna drink the Kool-Aid.
- Yay! - Kool-Aid.
What is Kool-Aid?! - Woo!
(upbeat banjo music)
- We're drinking the Kool-Aid.
- I think cool Darren has to come out and play.
Cool Darren.
- It's funny how we don't have that here.
You know, we have it in liquid form, which is regular.
- Yeah.
- But we don't have the dry powdered stuff.
- I feel like we would judge the - like - its an effort.
- Will it cool us down?
- I really hope so.
- So do I
- Yeah, maybe that's why Sean
went to two separate stores to get ice for us today.
- Oh, I hope he's putting the ice in the Kool-Aid as well.
(Upbeat banjo music)
- This is meant to be orange, but looks like SunnyD.
- It looks like a Baraka.
- Unnaturally orange.
- It's really orange.
- It looks a bit like Fanta.
- Fanta.
SunnyD, and Fanta created this.
- Can I get sunglasses?
- I don't need artificial enhancers.
- Okay.
- In any way.
- Really? - Yeah.
- You just wake up and you feel alive.
- Wake up, feel alive and good to go.
- Can almost smell the orange trees growing.
- Yeah, it's really zesty.
- Is it good for you?
Absolutely not?
- Or is it not good for you?
- Okay, let's go for it.
- Ugh. - Ugh.
- Ooh.
- It tastes a bit like medicine.
- It's letting me down.
- You know the way the Kool-Aid man bursts through the wall?
Like this is just, like very gently opening the door,
being like, "Hello?"
- Cool Darren didn't like that.
- I actually really like that.
- What?
- Did you put sugar in?
- I wouldn't be jumping for this now.
- [Colin] You literally have to spoon sugar into it
and mix it up with it.
- Mhm, it's a recipe.
- Oh that's a lot of effort.
It's a lot of effort. - Yeah.
- Oh my God, I actually really like that.
- With the scent of it, I thought it was gonna
like burst into our mouths but it just kind of...
just kind of entered, you know?
- Like this is inherently a kids' drink, isn't it?
Does someone get home from work at the business factory
and say, "want some Kool-Aid."?
- It's alright, like..they could've gone a lot...
- Was it Paddy?
You'd fool anyone there.
"It was alright." Necks the whole thing.
- I hated it, it was disgusting.
- It was so bad.
(banjo music)
- This one matches my hair a bit more.
- It does.
- Ooh!
- Strawberry?
No?
- [Sean] It's "Sharkleberry Fin!"
- "Sharkleberry Fin"?
That's not a fruit.
- "Sharkleberry Fin"?
Are they doing a huckleberry fin joke?
Trying too hard.
Take it from Cool Darren, you shouldn't try too hard.
- That's so concerning.
Are we having shark?
- Sharkfin?
- Yeah, that's strawberry.
- My hay fever's so bad, I can only smell through like
one side of my nose. I'm like "mm".
- Smells good though.
- Oh, wait, no, no, don't tell us yet.
We taste it and guess what fruit it actually is?
- It's cherry, it smells like cherry.
- Ooh, I'm getting sugar and watermelon.
- Oh no, do not like this.
It tastes like fucking Dioralyte.
- Like I like it and I don't.
- Like very watery.
- Yeah, there's something kind of--
- Watermelon.
- Melon-y.
(Disgust sound) - I like this.
- No.
- It doesn't taste as sweet as you think it would
based on the smell.
- Oh, no it's not nice at all.
- No.
- They were just like, do you know what?
Let's just make something fruity.
Throw 'em all in.
What fruit have we got there?
"Barbra! What fruit have we got?"
- [Sean] "Sharkleberry Fin!"
- Who?
- Excuse the-fuck me?
- [Sean] "Sharkleberry Fin!"
- So obviously, berry, some sort of berry?
- [Sean] "Sharkleberry fin!"
(Laughing)
- This explains nothing Sean.
- It's like if somebody heated up watermelon juice
and then tried to cool it back down again,
like that's... - Yeah.
- That's exactly what's happened here.
- It's not tasty either.
I'm forcing myself to drink it.
- Yeah, I don't know if it is.
Then I'm like, I don't know what's happening.
And then I feel like there's a Whirlpool
in the middle of it all.
I'm trying to like, I wanna get, I don't know.
- Are you happy Kool-Aid?
You broke Callyanne.
- So it's shark flavored, Berry flavored, fin.
- Sharkfin Berry, something.
Mark Twain?
- [Sean] Sharkleberry Fin!
- Sharkleberry Fin! (laughing)
- [Sean] So that's a no on the Sharkleberry Fin?
- No on the Sharkleberry Fin.
- No. - No, I'm sorry, it's no
(banjo music)
- This is vampire blood flavor.
- Is it tomato?
- Looks like blood.
- Kinda looks like Tabasco.
- Strawberry I'm guessing.
- Is it strawberry? - Strawberry.
- Whoa, that's intense cherry.
- Is it cherry? Yeah.
- That's it, cherry bomb.
- Yeah, honest to God.
- Oh wow. - Oh, that's that's cherry.
- I actually really like cherry.
- Yeah, I do, but this smells like that
artificial cherry that just sucks.
- [Sean] Tropical Punch.
- [Both] Ooh.
- Oh, it's like, oh, oh.
If you froze this, put it in the fridge.
- Oh my God. - You'd make jam jelly.
- It kind of smells a bit like bleach, no?
- I can see where you're coming from.
Like cleaning product kind of.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ooh, that's quite nice.
I like this.
- Mm.
- Oh, I love this.
Oh, you did well. - Mm!
- Again, just like watery.
- I like when it has a bit of kick
and this definitely does have that sour kick to it,
doesn't it. - Mm.
- Finally! - This is a good one.
- It was a long road, but we got there.
This was so nice. - I like this.
- This isn't as nice as the orange one.
The orange one was so tart and nice.
- I think you could make a kick ass cocktail with this,
with like some gin or something.
- Yeah.
- This would go well with vodka.
You know, if you wanted to make a Manhattan,
like with Kool-Aid?
- [Sean] Tropical Punch flavor.
- We were so wrong.
(laughing)
- [Sean] There is a cherry on the packet.
- Okay, cool, yeah. - Oh, cool.
- This is definitely my favorite one so far.
It's actually refreshing.
- And if you started off with this,
like it's gonna be such a great tune, I'm so excited.
And then you should've gone downhill
because this is a great one.
- Also, I don't think cherry is a tropical fruit.
- No, definitely not.
- It has no business being in a tropical fruit punch.
- This is nice, I like this.
- This is a juicer, isn't it?
- Yeah, although again, I was like,
this smells like bleach,
so I don't know what that says about me.
- I'm feeling refreshed after this one.
I'm cooled.
- This has definitely cooled my aid.
- It has aided my hotness and cooled me down.
(banjo music)
- Is this the same one again? - Same one again.
- This is cherry Sean.
- Has to be cherry.
It smells like cherry.
- Is there any other color than red?
- This one is, this one is clear red.
- Strawberry, is it not?
Can't be strawberry. - So sour.
- That just smells like cherry again.
- I see that little shy smile.
Do we have cherry?
- We do.
- [Sean] You do.
- Ah.
- You can't pull the wool over cool Darren's eyes.
- Uh uh.
- [Sean] It's cherry!
- Hey, hey, hey.
- We did it, we did it.
Why is it so sour? - We got it right.
- Will we go for the bash
and see what happens? - Yeah, go on.
- That just cherry?
- Tastes very similar to the last one.
- Yeah.
- That's not the worst.
- Oh yes.
- See the thing with cherry.
- Is that not sour? Like, am I?
- It's very, very, very sour.
- That's probably gonna be like charcalicious or something.
- Cherry, cherry alligator.
- [Sean] It's just cherry!
- It's just cherry.
Oh, okay. - There we go.
- Yeah, I am not disappointed or angry.
- Oh, the after taste is weird, but then again
most cherry things have a weird after taste.
- Yeah, I can see where you're coming from with that.
That's why I just try to avoid things that are
cherry flavored, even though I love cherries on their own.
- It's so strong. - So strong, so sour.
- Alcohol needs to be on this level of strong.
- Mhm.
Not even joking. - Mhm.
- It's lacking the bite.
- I like it 'cause it doesn't have that bite.
- Do ya? - Its really clean,
fresh and nice. - Yeah.
- There's a lot of staining
that goes on on the glass, on the table.
- I'm actually doing pretty well.
- You're doing well.
I'm a messy fuck.
- I think both of us are gonna have like a fucking
pride parade mouth by the end of this.
(laughing)
I'm just looking at your mouth being dyed
and I'm like mine is obviously just as bad.
- It's too much.
- Yeah.
- It's too much.
- The last one was the best one.
- Mhm. - This one's going back down
in the south.
We're we're going back south.
We're going down, we're going down again.
- We're on a Kool-Aid rollercoaster of emotion.
- We actually are.
- We haven't spoken about the Kool-Aid man
or the Kool-Aid guy?
- The jug?
- The jug.
- Is there a Mrs. Kool-Aid?
- Oh, are you asking?
- Yeah. Are you interested?
I'm interested.
Like to get the bottom of her jug.
- Oh God.
(banjo music)
- Oh I love this.
- Do you know when you're painting in school
and you've gotta clean the brushes?
- Oh yeah.
- And the water that's left over.
- All the color, yeah. - Yeah.
- (whispering) What is it? - Oh my God, this is grape.
- This is the thing in America, grape soda.
I'm like it's fizzy weird wine.
Like it shouldn't exist.
- [Sean] This is grape.
- Yeah! - Oh yes!
- I did not get it.
- 'Cause we don't have grape over here.
- If you added yeast to this, to create alcohol,
I feel like it would be called prison wine.
'Cause it sounds like the type of thing
that you do in the toilet in prison.
- Alright let's go for it.
- I fucking hate grape flavor.
Yeah, go on.
- You like it?
- I love it.
- Wouldn't be a fan of this one, no I tell ya,
if I was to be honest.
- Yeah, it's kind of plastic-y or something, I don't know.
- It tastes like a melted key ring.
- I want it to be fizzy.
- I wanted it to be nice.
- Grape flavor doesn't taste like grapes.
- No Paddy, if it's condensed into a powder
it's not a grape at all, let's just be real.
- Well that's true, yeah.
- I kind of taste like eternity.
Do you know that scary feeling of eternity,
where you think of like the time never starts
or ends and you kind of freak yourself out?
It tastes like that.
- Tastes like an existential crisis?
- Yes, yes. (laughing)
- Not grape.
I'm Cool Darren.
- I can't even get mad at him because he's Cool Darren.
- Yup.
- If it was just normal Darren, I'd be like, oh stop!
- It is nice.
Still prefer it to the one.
There's so many at this point.
It was the the third one.
- It was the tropical one wasn't it?
- Yeah, this one's a close second.
The rest of them just write offs.
I don't even know they are.
They haven't made a statement in my brain.
- They can go straight in the bin.
This one is lovely.
- This is why I prefer wine.
'Cause then I can just escape from my existential crisis
and not think about them at all.
- Yeah.
- Like I can understand why kids like it,
because I feel like it scratches the urge
if I want something kind of sweet.
- I'm starting to get a sugar rush, I can feel it already.
- She's speaking faster.
- (speaking gibberish)
(banjo music)
- Oh.
- Blue raspberry. - Blue raspberry.
- Put that in a pipe and pretend it's a neon sign.
- That's amazing.
- Blue raspberry?
- [Sean] Mixed Berry!
- How?! - Oh!
- Oh, oh.
That smells weird. - Hmm.
- What berries is in this?
- Blueberries.
This is the stuff you put into a swimming pool
before you clean it.
- I once tried to dye my hair
this color by myself - Did you?
- and I failed miserably.
I just destroyed a college bathroom.
- Oh my God.
- Is it bad?
- Lovely.
- Oh. - Ooh.
(slurping)
- It's fake.
It's fake water. - I like it.
- That's the thing, you've bastardized good water
by adding this shit to it.
- Oh very unexpected flavor.
- This is a swimming pool.
This is a very nice swimming pool color.
It's like when the lights are on at nighttime.
This is the color. - Oh my God.
And I want to swim in this. - You know if you're like,
If you're in Turkey or somewhere, you know?
- Yeah!
- Oh my God, I actually, my teeth feel so delicate.
- Yeah.
My teeth feels so delicate right now.
- It tastes like the inside of an Olympians' runner.
(laughing)
- Mother of God, that was strange.
- I can't even think what the flavors in there could be.
- Again, it's just, it's water
with like a hint of sugar in it.
- Mhm.
- [Sean] This is Mixed Berry!
- Okay, nevermind.
This tastes nothing like that.
- I prefer to swim in it than drink it.
- Yeah.
And I actually would too
which is a weird statement to make,
but I actually agree with it.
(laughing)
- Do you know what?
I kind of like the fact that it keeps kind of kicking ya.
(laughing)
Like don't forget about me, wacha!
- The worst.
- You think this is the worst?
Worse than grape?
- Yeah.
- Wow. - I know.
- This actually was a rollercoaster.
We went on a sugar rush journey.
- Mhm, it was up and down.
- Up and down and then we ended on a low.
- I expected so much more.
I was so excited about at this.
I was like, oh Kool-Aid, never tried it, very popular.
If you drank an entire glass of that your throat
like my throat already is so sore.
- Maybe it grows on you.
Maybe like if you had it as a kid
and you grew up on this stuff, you'd come to love it.
- Sharkleberry Fin for me was just, mwah!
I love it, I love it, I want it.
I actually am gonna buy it, it's very good.
- I think you can eat dirt.
I hated it so much. (laughing)
- You wanna be cool like me, Cool Darren?
The way I got to be this cool was I liked videos,
I commented on them and I subscribed.
Be cool.
Don't be a square.
- This is all a very big act
that I don't really feel comfortable with
and I'm also kind of scared.
- (whispers) Shut up.
(laughing)
