There is a big controversy on Tik Tok involving a Tik Toker,
who has been selling a pink sauce that is not FDA approved.
In fact, we don't even really know what's in the pink sauce, but people
are buying it and they're regretting it because you probably shouldn't buy food
items from Tik Tokers without doing your research or don't even bother.
Just don't buy food items from Tik Tok is a bad idea.
So let's talk about the sauce boss here.
Okay, woman who decided to sell this concoction, that is super problematic.
There's a super viral pink sauce that's taken over Tik Tok.
You probably have come across the videos and now this creator,
you see her in the video is in a lot of trouble.
Her name is chef Pie, she created the sauce.
In fact, what you're watching is one of
her earliest posts showing off the pink sauce, okay.
So for the next few weeks, chef Pie posted videos of herself and
her friends eating it with fast food, with euros, with seafood.
Her Tik Tok's regularly exceed one million views, which is pretty amazing.
I just think, dudes love to watch women eat, I think it's a kink.
I think that's part of it, right?
>> Yeah, yeah, I think you're onto something there.
It's definitely a kind of porn that is basically sanctioned for sure.
>> And she's beautiful too, I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
Yeah, so Tik Tok commenters were suspicious about the sauce.
There have been some questions.
One commenter said, the hue of pink keeps drastically changing.
Like what's up with that?
Another person says, girl, what's in the sauce, okay?
One other person is like, is it edible?
[LAUGH] Really, can I eat that?
Now commenters repeatedly asked if chef Pie could explain what was in the sauce,
what the sauce tastes like, and what foods the sauce should be used with?
But she never really gave a straight answer.
So that's a red flag, maybe don't buy this item.
One person says, I'm sure someone's gonna buy it, but
like you won't even tell us what's in it.
You know, we don't know you, right?
It could be anything in there.
And these questions finally pressured her to provide an answer.
She did so on June 25, when the sauce was listed for pre sale, okay.
She had to check in with her manufacturers and
she claimed that it included dragon fruit, which gave it its pink color,
allegedly sunflower seed oil, honey, garlic chili.
Sounds delicious, right, except no.
She released a video in which a taste tester claimed that the sauce is
like sweet ranch, which kind of sounds gross.
I like ranch, I don't know about you was I'm a big ranch.
We don't need to put sugar in the ranch like ranch the way it is.
>> Or maybe that's like, maybe they're saying it's like honey mustard.
>> I do love me some honey mustard, dip your chicken nuggets.
That sounds good too.
But no, that's not what's happening here, okay.
So now people knew what was in the sauce and what it tastes like.
Or did they official sales for the pink sauce started on July 1st,
but the sauce only began to arrive to customers on the week of July 11th.
And not everyone was really happy with what they ordered because when they got
their package, here's what they were met with.
>> The pink sauce cancel.
>> Waited this long for nothing, this is no, no, ma'am, we're not trying this.
Look at this, it stinks like throw up.
No, no, not gonna work, sorry.
>> I can't even respond to that, I'm just gonna let that one fly right on.
I'm gonna let that one fly.
>> My God, now people were upset, understandably.
So, chef Pie acknowledged in a video that just 50 of the orders were botched,
and then she offered free replacements.
That's good customer service, right?
But then there were other issues like what you're about to watch.
>> People when they got their products when they arrived in the plastic bags,
it was a mess it spilled everywhere.
Now let's get into the nutrition label.
So first of all, 444 serving, but the serving size is one tablespoon,
that's around 28 cups.
That label is not correct,
which means is anything else on the label actually correct.
My duties are not made in like a warehouse or
a factory to note this contains milk in it.
Milk products usually need to be refrigerated, there is nothing in
the label about refrigeration nor is there an expiration date on the label.
Vinegar is also spelled incorrectly.
Well, surely she has her website completely figured out wrong.
First of all, none of the materials are detailed.
All of these are like drop down and there's no information in them and
there's random pages like this, and no information here on her website.
>> My God, so before we get to how this all ended and by the way,
I should note like I've had dragon fruit before,
the flesh of the dragon fruit is not pink, it's white.
>> [LAUGH] >> It's like the outside of it is pink.
So I mean, was she alleging that she was using the peel of the dragon fruit,
I don't know.
But before I get to how this all ended was thoughts.
>> I don't even, I just don't understand the internet generation.
I won't even buy a hoodie off of a random ad on Instagram.
I'm just, you're not a real shop, I can't do it.
I don't care who suggested it.
I'm not gonna get your cool utility pants.
I'm not doing it from these independent and that's closed.
I'm not ingesting this thing into my temple?
That's just crazy and like as far as like for the closest thing I
get to adventurous stuff on the internet, that I might ingest as hot sauce.
I might see a hot sauce on amazon.
Never heard of them, never heard of the company.
I will buy it because I'm obsessed with hot sauce.
That's it and that's it.
>> No, Hillary gets it, Hillary gets it.
She always has the hot sauce in her purse.
>> [LAUGH] Yeah, this is, I don't know.
But again, like nobody wanted to say, but the sauce was.
>> Right. >> And then finally they're like,
it's a sweeter ranch.
>> Here's the thing, it's a sweeter ranch, okay.
So look [CROSSTALK] >> I just coloring in some ranch that
she bought by the way and just sold it to folks.
Hello.
>> Exactly, exactly.
>> [LAUGH] >> If that's what she was selling but
like, here's what I would do.
If somehow I was compelled to try sweet ranch,
I'm gonna make the sweet ranch myself.
I'm gonna figure it out, right.
If that's the taste I'm going for, I can figure out how to make and
if I want that pink color, I can figure that out too.
>> Well, maybe ranch and barbecue sauce, would that turn into pink?
>> No, it'll be light brown.
>> Yeah, which by the way, that might actually taste pretty good.
I don't know, you should try.
But she later apologized after all these people were posting videos
on Tik Tok about what a scam this was, how gross the sauce was yada yada.
And she apparently also ended up getting a visit from the Florida Department of
Agriculture and consumer goods.
We've got one more video for you, let's watch.
>> We are taking the precautions to make sure that they are not worried
about their health concerns, and we pick the packaging everywhere.
>> On the business card has my email address and any changes you make to your
label before you spend money creating something that might not be as accurate.
If you have like a draft copy you can send it and then I can prove it right.
>> Thank y'all got me help from the FDA.
I love, I love hate because God blesses his children who have a pure heart.
Thank you so, so much.
>> God apparently loves scammers on the TYT show today.
God is on the side of that damn preacher with the insurance fraud,
and this woman who is selling Pepto Bismol in a can, it's ridiculous.
And [LAUGH] >> You know everyone wants to be
a business person but no one wants to do the work.
>> My God you guys are dipping chicken fingers
in the Pepto Bismol [LAUGH] >> She put the video of the,
that's the thing that actually really everything that happens,
every part of this situation was broadcast to the world including the visit
from the Florida Department of Agriculture and consumer goods.
She's filming that for her Tik Tok page.
It's amazing, its amazing.
>> Everything is disgusting.
>> The 6th Street Bridge that just opened up in Los Angeles.
They had the cops keep having to shut it down because there are people who show
up doing all sorts of dumb things for content.
>> [LAUGH] >> Arches on this new bridge and
they're like scaling the arches and doing all these stunts because they wanna
post videos about it, and it's like, but we want to enjoy the bridge too.
So when they're like doing dangerous things and
the cops have to shut it down as a result.
They did like three days in a row, they might have done it four days in a row,
I'm not sure.
So it sucks, it sucks for everyone else.
Like we just wanna live in in the real world.
Like we wanna enjoy our lives outside, I went on vacation for a week.
I wasn't on social media at all, it was awesome.
There's a whole world out there.
It's amazing, enjoy it, experience it.
>> My goodness, the content wars, their never ending.
People are clearly addicted to just de-adulation and now,
these companies, God bless them are paying these fools.
At least they're not they used to do this content for free.
Now at least YouTube and Instagram and News Fox will cut them a check for some of
this content, which is nice, but golly man, this is what a way to earn a living.
>> Yeah, she did like in her experience with making a mistake to Madonna or
Beyoncé making an error while performing.
She says they're the best performers in the freaking world, and
everyone in the world looks at them like you're awesome.
You can't trip on stage she said.
I tripped on stage, I tripped on stage and I'm fixing that.
You go, you go.
The humility, she is the scammer sauce Beyoncé,
good for her though entrepreneurship and and
also hashtag support black business and [LAUGH]
>> Listen I got lily white skin,
I'm not going there.
>> [LAUGH] To support black business,
capitalism will be our salvation Anna.
>> Okay we're gonna end soon.
But I will say this, I think your perspective like
decoding that BS is so important and I respect it.
And when I mentioned my lily white skin, what I'm referring to
is it's an important critique that I don't think I can make, right.
And I'm glad that you make it because clearly simply
having diverse representation in the executive world,
in the corporate world does not make the lives of
a disenfranchised group of people better, right.
And that's not to say like you wanna support black businesses great.
I think that's fine but
to sell that to Americans as what is going to save us economically or
what's gonna save a certain population of people economically it's BS we all know.
>> You would think people would understand this.
We had the most powerful executive in the world,
the black dude named Barack Obama, you don't get more like he
is the biggest executive in the freaking world for eight years.
It wasn't some freaking panacea for black people.
I mean give me a freaking break here.
And I would encourage people to go look up the affirmation
tower in New York city, some dude named Don Peebles,
he's a black real estate tycoon and they're selling this is,
we got a black architect to do it and blah blah blah blah blah.
And who gets, and guess what It's gonna be one of the tallest buildings in New York
city, and black kids get to look at it and say, my God,
a black man developed it [LAUGH] and guess who gets to live there?
And a bunch of black millionaires,
that's supposed to make a kid in 40 projects in queens or
east New York or Brownsville feel like, wow, isn't that great?
A big old building that a black dude made to enrich himself and nobody else.
>> Yep, yep, and.
>> Go Google affirmation tower, you gotta read, I think it's architectural digest.
Did a write up on the affirmation tower in New York city?
It's like a caricature of this woke capitalism,
blah blah blah stuff, it's quite hilarious honestly.
>> I'm gonna check that out, I hate to admit, I love architectural digest, but
I will read that I'm looking forward to it.
