Coke VS Coke Zero - Time lapse [4K] (TOP REQUEST)

This video shows you what happens to a glass of Coca Cola Original (regular coke) and a glass of Coca Cola Zero if you leave them out for a long time. A thick gooes sugary syrup remained after 100 days in the regular coke glass, and the coke zero almost completely evaporated during this time.

[@Skelath]

@@-Graham Sugar feeds candida (natural bacteria in the body) candida then overgrows in the mouth, your immune system says; "hey, you're not meant to be here, begone!", candida then breaks down the calcium in your teeth to encase in self and shield itself from your immune system aka when your teeth gets fuzzy (plaque) a few hours after consuming sugars. Candida also effects your circulatory systems pH to supress the immune system and cause you to crave more sugar, and cause fatigue. Artificial sweeteners such as Erythritol doesn't feed candida, and another one is Xylitol which actively removes candida. Reasons why ants don't touch it? it contains no energy / calories / no sustenance.

Good eye! The glasses were actually about 40cm (roughly 16 inches) apart from each other, so cross-contamination could definitely have happened.

Could have done, though I imagine the presence of sugar in the original allowed one type of mould to form whilst a different mould which doesn't need sugar to grow started on the zero.

I don't know much about mould, is it possible that the differences between. The 2 are partially or largely due to the luck of which mould spores fell into each glass or do their different compositions always attract the same types of mould?

[@obsidianjane4413]

Kind of surprised the mold took hold in the Zero first. But then it took off in the Coke I guess because it had much more sugar to work with. It would be interesting to do this experiment testing the Ph daily to see how it effected the growth. My theory is that the Zere went flat first and so its acidity dropped to what was tolerable.

[@plantcraftie4141]

mold doesn't do well with a high concentration of sugar. That's why sugary things hold so well.

[@MrSupdup]

The size of the initial mould colony is going to be high variance, as it came from the cup and/or the ice cubes. What section of the freezer the ice cubes were in, or how far to the back of the cupboard the cup came from will make a big difference in how large the initial mould growth is.

One thing I’ve always wondered about these is what would happen if you just let the mold sit indefinitely. Once all of the moisture dries up and all of the sugar is consumed, the mold would theoretically die, right? And then would it just be dust?

[@HansWurst-lg1ws]

Basically yes, from dust to dust until the spores find a new habitat to flourish .)

[@alicewright4322]

yes, without moisture the mold cannot defend itself and will be oxidized into oblivion by the sun and the air. but the mold changes color before that: spore release - those spores are often resistant to dessication, and can sit dormant for years, until they land in another glass of pop or other suitable substrate. some molds actively disperse them in the air. the green stuff on the left is clearly mold spores which spread in the air. some mold can just break off fibers that float around without specialized sexual spores. some molds form dessication resistant masses called sclerotia too.

[@MattExzy]

Depends on the species of mold I'd say. I've seen mold growing on window sills and the like. But I guess that can be an area where moisture would condense anyway.

2:03 Honest to god, I thought the left glass was growing lmao

[@LordOfTheChickinz]

it legit was bro

[@MRX_MosaReX]

I have a question, can/will you clean this vases and reuse them? Or are they gone forever? 🙃

[@PhotoOwl]

I cleaned them, because that mold that you can see being stuck to the glass came off pretty easily. It didn't smell bad either, so I thought why not clean them. But yes, usually if a glass gets too disgustingly dirty then I just throw it away. Egg in glass video for example, or the strawberry milkshake one

[@MRX_MosaReX]

@@PhotoOwl interesting, good to know that glass with mold can be cleaned. Thank for you answering! 🙂 I love your videos ❤️

[@tornado100able]

@@PhotoOwl Another question: Would you drink something using this glass? Even after cleaning it very well, i think i wouldn't....

[@ExNought]

@@tornado100able Not OP, but that should be a non issue. If you have a moldy glass, yes, you should probably intensively clean it, at best with more than 60°C best would be cooking it (so 100+°C) But glass is one of the few materials that are REALLY good at being cleanable, one of the reasons why we use it in the first place. Example: Most of the glassware used in chemistry is made of very similar glass to your regular household glass. There is stuff that does not go well with this in chemistry, but most acids and the like can be handled in your regular old water glass :)

I just love how CCZ turned into a galaxy in a glass :D

[@JJDBaca]

I always (subconsciously) close off my nasal passage when watching videos like this.

[@ratter1023]

Mold contamination could come from ice cubes or from the glass itself! Wonder what it would look like if you didn't use ice and strilized the glasses with boiling water 🤔 would they mold like this? Or in some different way probably?

[@JoeJoe-lq6bd]

And I'd be interested to see one pair of glasses covered and one pair uncovered.

[@sanjeev.rao3791]

Mold spores exist floating in the air as well, so it'd probably be very similar regardless.

If we want to see the best result, lab conditions must be prepared but it is a hassle if you’re not a researcher

*Mould

[@TheGrillSergeant]

Interesting. I would have thought the Coke Zero would never go bad lol

[@AAA-vu3dq]

ooh, I’d love to see how the fun-guy does his thing on plain regular old fashion white bread & enriched white bread / and / butter & margarine … you know, the fun-guy never ceases to amaze 😜

[@YouKnowIBePro]

This gives me an idea for doing regular beef vs Beyond Meat

[@Vintagesonic1]

If anyone is worried that this is what it does when its in our stomachs, just know that this would never happen, unless you somehow never took a piss for months on end.

[@SleepNeed]

Now I want to see this but with "Mexican" Coke (sweetened with cane sugar) vs "American" Coke (sweetened with high fructose corn syrup) to see if there is any difference.

[@ActuallySanFrancisco]

there will be. that sludge left in the glass at the end is the corn syrup. sort of gives a good visual representation as to why it's terrible to consume and many countries have just made it illegal.

[@kingbeans9707]

That reminds me, I need to pick up another case of Coca Cola

[@Nick-hm2dm]

The regular coke glass on the left reminds me of the pool scene in the movie Annihilation.

[@manu.yt25]

The only thing lacking is a chemical/microbiologic check of what remains there. I'm surprized by how the Zero had microorganisms too despite the lack of sugar

[@dirkhoekstra727]

Yeah. At first I though it might be the caramel that supports growth too, but it might just contain caramel coloring (which is different than real caramel). But some molds can me vicious little bastards and can break down a lot of chemicals for nutrition. It would only be molds growing in it, because the pH is too low to support bacteria.

Impurities from the ice cubes
