I never knew Katy perry purchased braggs! Learned something new 😄 will have to take notice of the dilution next time

[@clg3697]

I also did not know that Bloom & Perry purchased Bragg's. I use their Coconut Aminos on everything. I love the flavor. I have to eat low acidity foods & I have to be very stingy with ACV use. I think I will give their diluted brand a try since I only use for sauces & cooking. Thanks for the info and the reaction.

[@honeysuckle]

I’ve been using it since I have it now and it’s great for dressings! The coconut aminos is good too! I’ve been using it for marinades

[@honeysuckle]

Yes!! It was an interesting find!

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Maybe Katy Perry* bought Braggs*, because before she had nothing to really brag about😜.

[@maddison5154]

Did they both come under fire or just her 🤔

[@bendingriver7101]

As someone who makes their own apple cider vinegar I have never had Bragg's but I can tell you that the darker color comes from a longer ferment with a healthier mother and some natural evaporation that occurs in the secondary ferment after the apples are strained out.

[@umbertlambert2113]

The lady in the video should read your post then. Are you hearing video lady? You needlessly accused Katy Perry of diluting and that too FOR PROFIT to her face when the paler color had nothing to do with dilution. Spoke too soon huh? KP fan here.

[@bendingriver7101]

@@umbertlambert2113 I mean, that's half true. If the apple cider vinegar reduces because it's evaporating that means there is less water and less time. It is, by definition, less concentration with LAB and has a higher rate of water. I believe it is diluted but the dilution isn't occuring from adding water but from less evaporation and less time for the LAB to develop

[@umbertlambert2113]

@@bendingriver7101 Yes I agree, but even what you described can be done to obtain a specific flavor and is not cutting corners for profit. The person in the video needlessly made assumptions while writing that DM.

[@bendingriver7101]

@@umbertlambert2113 hard disagree. Not letting it ferment/evaporate inherently increases profits. The expense of fermented food is the cost of storing it in a fairly temperature controlled area. If Bragg's used to ferment for 4 months then switched to three months they literally get one more batch of apple cider vinegar every year.

[@umbertlambert2113]

@@bendingriver7101 Question: When something could have been done for the purposes of flavor OR profit why are you automatically focusing on the latter. When someone might have done for a good or bad reason and both are equally likely, we must ALWAYS give the benefit of the doubt to the person and assume that they did it for the GOOD reason. It's called seeing the glass half full. Let's say that Katy HAD INDEED done the change for taste purposes, then is the video host's message justified? When you DON'T KNOW someone's motivation is it a good idea to just assume like that?

[@Yamp44]

Another really fun video idea. I hope more of them are coming. Please be careful if you decide to try any of the "health" Goop product. There has been a lot of debate about the fact that Goop products pretend a lot of benefit for your health without anything concrete to prove they really work, and some people even have experienced ill effects using them.

[@honeysuckle]

For sure more are coming!! I’m so glad you’re liking them. Haha those weird Goop products are such a scam in my opinion lol, I’d only buy to try for a video. 😅

Salmon from the fjords of Norway is farmed salmon btw. It is the basic standard for salmon in Europe nothing fancy, just farmed fish

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Right, about 90 % of all frozen or smoked salmon commercially available in Europe is farmed salmon from Norway. Some is from Scotland but neither is any more special than the other.

[@volundrfrey896]

You're not wrong, although in Europe at least it's not hard to find wild Norwegian salmon. And the Scandinavian salmon is a bit different to eg Alaskan salmon. With that said since Gwyneth is involved I'm willing to bet a substantial amount of money on the fact that it's the cheapest farmed salmon she could find.

[@DahliaLegacy]

I was going to say, isn't Norway known for their farmed salmon? lol It's like she's just using fancy words to make people feel better about eating her products to justify her price tag.

[@user-ei6fn7qr4d]

I am Italian and I was also wondering why as an american business she chose to get salmon from Norway (which is good salmon and maybe she also chose some sustainably wildcaught one who knows) instead of getting it right there from Alaska(?) Like she has right there in America a state with one of the best quality wildcaught salmon why Norway? I mean its like if us italian made a product with 100% greek olive oil, they do have an amazing olive oil but if its an italian product why not using our own amazing one?

[@DahliaLegacy]

@@user-ei6fn7qr4d That makes things clear that she's buying cheap and selling for high-profit margins. Alaska is known for its wild salmon. You go to the supermarket here and basically all wild caught is from Alaska. We even have reality tv shows based on it. lmao

Blake lively selling alcohol as someone who doesn't drink seems like a cash grab and pretty insincere

[@lily5952]

This is rather silly to call her insincere. It's a business designed to make a profit after identifying a gap in the market. If you think business owners and CEOs consume the things they sell on principle, I have to tell you that's just not true.

[@lauraboredom2168]

i'll never forget the whole BLANCO tequila label like were there no Spanish-speaking people in the room?

[@jareds2619]

@@lauraboredom2168 blanco tequila is correct because tequila can be a masculine or feminine noun despite ending in an a, but the masculine is more commonly used.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Most internationally marketed tequila brands are owned by non-Mexicans. And I guess that KJ person never denied that her product was made in Mexico. There are better things to accuse the Jenner/Kardashian clan of, who are all despicable human beings in general, than CA which a pretty totalitarian concept in the first place.

[@n.q163]

Tbh the whole cultural appropriation 'issue' is kinda bs... For instance, nobody is calling out Nicky Minaj for cultural appropriation. She appropriated cultural aspects of Chinese and Japanese culture and made a whole alter ego with it.

[@harrietxo2310]

Same with Gwen Stefani. Both did come into fire for it

[@lululeroux]

The salmon was farmed - the fjords of Norway is where a lot of salmon farms are located so that was clever wording on their part to give the illusion it might be wild caught!

[@ellamorriss6080]

I know I’m late to the party, but I just wanted to say I love the fact that you try out these products in various ways not only in dishes but straight, it really gives the ultimate honest review, I also enjoy the fact that you personally messaged these celebs 😂❤

[@jamielovestoast]

Ghost kitchens are so irritating bc my man is a cook at Chili's and they work w ghost kitchens but there's not giving the cooks a raise to basically cook a whole other restaurant in addition to what they already have to do. These type of kitchens get free labor in my opinion and it's wrong for sure

[@itsme-le8sr]

Paltrow and her "clean" food all served in PLASTIC containers😅.

[@kvernesdotten]

19:18 - I dont know if that was meant as a corrolation between farmed and wild, but it tasting fishy generally just means its not fresh. Differences between wild and farmed is intensity of flavor, firmness and color, none of them should taste fishy if actually fresh.

[@sengminslvr]

Hey Honeysuckle, i love your videos and this one is extremely fun. But on 14:47 i can notice the message for Katy Pary's on top of Kendall's? Did I miss something in the video about this or is it just a glitch?

[@izzielovesfrankocean]

definitely noticed that too, but it’s not like the celebrities will ever reply to her lol

[@viktorymodel]

gwynith even gave an interview where she openly admitted that her entire brand was base on a joke she came up with friends saying people buy anything these days , the wieirder the better, she continued saying, she herself would not buy her candles smelling like her private parts , and nobody could varify but yet people buy it. her friend could not believe that theory so they but the most outrageous ideas to the test and were hyper successful. she thought about ending it then but it just made no sense, she made a fortune with it. While I think her food is overpriced and i never tried it, if you buy any real good high standard food in LA these days it is not that much less expensive, for high quality produce. I think it is always up to the consumer to think smartly and not buy just anything! I was however shocked about the bragg brand! because that's straight on fouling the coustomer for profit!

[@tanishahogan9396]

I have always loved Bragg's ACV...I didn't know that Orlande/Katy had purchased that brand...weird! I might have to investigate some more!

Braggs changed when they took the Christian messaging from the label. The Grandfather started company apparently. You used to actually have mother in the vinegar, now they seem to strain it all out.

[@Soonhun]

The Kardashians being White is debatable. Are Mestizo or most Mexicans "White?" It really depends on the context and place. Armenians live geographically in Asia, even more so historically. They are Caucasian, but so are Turks, Arabs, Jews, Persians, Egyptians, and Berbers, and most Americans would not consider them "White." When I first saw the Kardashians, I thought they were either Mestizo or Middle Eastern (speaking as an East Asian American), not European/solely European. Do not misunderstand me. A non-White person is perfectly capable of cultural appropriation, but the Kardashians aren't necessarily White to everyone is the point. On top of that, when does it become cultural appropriation? Kendall Jenner seems to be marketing 818 as her brand, which it is, not claiming all Tequila to be hers. I remember growing up in the US and a lot of other Asian Americans would culturally "claim" boba tea to some extent, but they were Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, etc. and not Taiwanese. One could argue boba tea has since evolved since its origins to be a part of many different cultures throughout Asian by the late 1990s/early 2000s, but then one could argue the same about tequila evolving to be a part of American culture.
