Mtn Dew = Crack For Kids --- Digi Daily #6

[@edwardzhang1297]

I love the image of Digi roller skating at mach speed while holding a bursting bag of 2 liter Mountain Dew bottles.

[@JeffreyM641]

This is the most American thing I have heard in a while.

[@Alienrun]

How so?

[@16JPE]

Hello, nice to meet you.

[@Firestarter1337]

An American has a grocery store within walking distance, but no vehicle. How does he get the groceries home? Let's discuss.

[@Xozzen]

Really activated my almonds

[@WoWplayer527]

Bruh. Walking from the driveway tobthe fridge with two handfuls of groceries is already hard, especially if you're already not in great shape. Imagine walking several block with it

[@doctoreggnog6644]

I live alone and have no car and get my groceries on foot.

[@pheonixrises11]

WoWplayer527 I honestly forgot that being out of shape would be a major barrier. But at the same time, it wasn't just him that would be carrying groceries. They could also buy smaller amounts of groceries more frequently.

[@Statusinator]

You'd think that a pair of schoolkids would have backpacks

[@N0THANKY0U]

I listen to these podcasts while I'm eating breakfast, it's already becoming part of my routine, thank you digi.

[@Faulheit]

why do these stories always involve lucky star

[@fluffypink90]

Here I was thinking you were going to say you replaced it with beer

[@kentcasandra5282]

mountain dew = fire nation

[@LovayneBRoD]

Because of the heartburn

[@googolplexbyte]

This is why there's an obesity epidemic.

[@eeeee5100]

I was addicted to red bulls, thankfully I was able to kick it thanks to cocaine!

[@redbulljunkie916]

kinghippohappy lol

[@FanKiyoshi]

Mountain dew is the only soda that tastes how it looks

[@eartianwerewolf]

Like radioactive splooge?

[@HxH2011DRA]

eartianwerewolf Yep

[@SaberStash]

I just drink water

[@redire777]

Boring.

[@seekyunbounded9273]

you do not have to spice up everything you do :p

[@Yamartim]

Juice is also nice

[@Alienrun]

Health is important... ...there are other ways to have "fun" :P

[@kana22693]

Same, except I can only drink bottled water and occasionally half a bottle of scotch.

[@chiefbool]

dropping my soda addiction was probably one of the hardest things ive ever done. It makes you feel so tired and exhausted but I gotta say now that ive switched to only drinking water, i've felt much better

[@bailey1667]

I recommend drinking tea! Lost over 50 pounds in 2 months and I contribute it to green/black tea. Plus they are very tasty!

[@eartianwerewolf]

Yeah I have switched to tea....because my soda addiction is bad. so bad. I have been slowly watering down my tea to cut my sugar intake down.

[@rogerlost5851]

"There's a grocery store within walking distance, but then how are we going to get the groceries back?" Uhhh, walk with them? You don't need to buy the two weeks worth of groceries all at once....

[@GhostlyNomad130]

Efficiency

[@sweetmouse9870]

drawing, day 6 there are times when i think "it's a good thing abstract art is a concept because otherwise this would be some real shit" and this is not even one of those times i goofed it up good

[@forearmforeleg2647]

I was addicted to addiction for 5 years but thanks to addiction I was finally about to kick my addiction

[@FinlayFosterReviews]

This video has finally convinced me to actually sit through the whole of Lucky Star. The fond way in which Digi describes the show has definitely peaked my interest considerably. Great episode as always!

[@bunnie187]

I was addicted to Coca-Cola. Had at least a liter every day for years. Tried quitting over and over and over again, but one day I got so depressed about it effecting my health I just stopped. I didn’t expect to keep it up but I have, for two years. I tried half a bottle a few weeks ago because I couldn’t remember what it tastes like. I don’t miss it. Taking me a lot longer to get rid of the rest of my sugar etc addictions. My entire family is overweight and finding something decent to eat in this house is impossible. When my mother does make some sort of vegetable she puts so much fucking butter on it you can’t see any in there, just tips of broccoli swimming among a butter sea. It’s so gross. Started taking up cooking recently though so that helps a lot. Hope you can rid yourself of Mountain Dew. :[

[@dragoniraflameblade]

Awesome Atheist Caramel You can do it, man! There's cheap cookbooks on Amazon, too.

[@neocodexx]

You should get into asian food, it's much more delicious than western food imho and healthier too. I was in a similar situation like you, my mom just didn't cook well, still doesn't. Look up chef Tom on KZbin, he's my favorite youtuber for asian recipes and he does it really simple, learned a lot from him. P. S. his channel name is fortunecooking

[@bunnie187]

Thanks guys. :)

[@j.b1353]

I don't know if call It addiction but i used to drink 3 lts of Coca cola for at least 3 years. Then i move to live in a different place, which was colder. That made the difference, i still drink coca cola, but just once in a while, and definitively in less quantity

[@SoshiNine9]

Used to always drink coke at home because our water was gross and coke was all my dad would buy. Didn't stop the addiction till I left home for college and realized how expensive buying drinks are and how I'm too lazy to go through the effort of buying it.

[@goshinbi44]

I'm slowly cutting soda out by putting what I drink for the day in two of those 6 pack beer holders, and slowly replacing the soda with water.

[@karutacowboy7477]

Why not just carry the groceries home if it's in walking distance like you said?

[@iamalittleboat]

yeah it's not like you need more than four bags for a weeks worth of food

[@Alienrun]

You don't know how much gorceries they get/how they gonna carry it.

[@Jiggleslinky]

Honestly I wish my parents never let me drink soda. My younger brother has managed to get off of soda and only drinks water now but I can't stop drinking Dr. Pepper. I like the taste a lot. I don't drink soda all the time but I always feel that need in the background. It's probably 30% soda 60% water 10% other drinks for me and I'm in good health but, y'know, all this coulda been avoided if I had never been introduced to the stuff in the first place. I feel you.

[@shubtakesdubs5395]

Its 6 AM, I have a 101 degree fever, im about to puke and I wake up to a digi daily. Its the small things in life that make you feel better lmao.

[@silverspawn8017]

That was one of the most interesting podcasts (or part of a podcast or whatever) you've ever released.

[@mrivera6975]

It's weird knowing that mountain dew in high enough does can work as a mild antidepressant. Damn Digi

[@helioscomis3732]

Theres the idea that you were addicted to mtn dew, but then theres the additional plausible idea that your parents didn't articulate to you why they were no longer providing mtn dew (At the time, you have stated a post-hoc reasoning as to why they might've done it and it might be that they told you themselves why they did it.) and so instead of internalizing that excessive soda was bad, you internalized that you were losing something you enjoyed consuming for an arbitrary reason which would fuel a depressive spiral.

[@omnilisk279]

Helios Comis There's that possibility but you can get addicted to soda very easily especially Mountain Dew. My mother and I were addicted to it for a long time and when I finally stopped it was a horrible few months. Water tasted like liquid headache because of a sudden decrease in sugar and whatever else they put in that stuff.

[@stormichigura]

Possibly, but both sugar and caffeine addictive. MntDew has more of both than most other drinks.

[@NambaFly]

withdrawal.

[@playerkun6689]

Helios Comis wat

[@mybloodismadeofteaitreally4080]

It's utterly vile, too much excessive sugar. So much sweetness ruins the taste.

[@doctoreggnog6644]

Even back when I drank a lot of soda, it was never all I drank. Now I drink soda like once a month.

[@SoapLand]

QUALITY CONTENT

[@benh4341]

Coming from a family that only drinks water at home, hearing your family's soda situation is crazy.

[@driaodrums]

you have to try matcha green tea, you can get it pretty cheap as a powder in asia stores. That stuff tastes intense and has no unhealthy side effects (besides obviously theine).

[@driaodrums]

You may not use boiling water, or it will ruin the taste, it should be around 60-80 degree celcius. You can also use milk instead. I usually boil the water then stretch it with cold water, then put a little on the powder (one tea spoon a cup) and stir it to avoid clumps. Then i fill the rest of the cup. If you want the full matcha experience you can use a milk frother to add some bubbly texture.

[@driaodrums]

i usually drink it raw, i m not a big smoothie guy, but i heard matcha supposed to be a good spice for cookies and curry dishes. but i have still to try that

[@wolfrox777]

I was addicted to Lucazade. Thanks Lara Croft.

[@mybloodismadeofteaitreally4080]

Dude you british?

[@lucadivine3862]

Makes me realize just how much soda I drink when I can easily finish off a 2L long before it's flat...

[@pedroseba8753]

Your diet was literally drinking memes all day

[@Tysoon12341]

When I was a kid I was lucky if my parents let me drink any type of pop/coke once a week. So I always saw it as a treat rather then something to grab as a casual drink which is definitely healthier long term, but it seems like a lot of Americans don't go a day without some type of coke/pop.

[@mechajay3358]

I know where your coming from. I've been addicted to _Sprite_ all my life

[@mechajay3358]

Awesome 21 and no I'm pretty thin.

[@hamzasehavdic]

"My Uncle JOHNNY came, and ordered a pizza or something" sounds abit Italian

[@amirbutcher2147]

Have you tried Pure Leaf unsweetened tea? Good shit when it’s cold.

[@hypercortical7772]

my uncle was once addicted to pepsi. I think. I never really saw him drink it, but he always had to have a bottle around wherever he goes. And if you drank his pepsi he would get a little upset.

[@MozillaFennekin]

tbh that new blue game fuel flavor is godly

[@Knight_Astolfo]

I used to dew the same, and then I discovered coffee. I can drink black coffee all day and not worry about getting fat from it. It fills your body with antioxidants, so when I drink I can go ham. So if you want a coffee suggestion: take deathwish coffee, brew that normal. Take fireproof coffee and brew that like you would espresso. Pour the fireproof into the steaming deathwish and you are left with a concoction that might kill someone with a weak constitution. My buddy calls it Deathproof, though it's probably the opposite. In my case it's like Popeye just ate some spinach.

[@yuppiecake9097]

What in the hell? How do you lose weight after dropping Mountain Dew? I gained weight when I dropped it. I was drinking 2 to 4 cans a day and all that caffeine suppressed my appetite.

[@yoshiiinblack]

I tred Mtn Dew once and I thought it tasted sickingly sweet. I drank only Soda until I got pregnant and after my son was born, I switched completely to fruit juice mixed with water, because he always wants some too and neiter green tea nor soda is something for babies. I occasionly drink soda though, but mostly when I'm eating out.

[@lodevijk]

What the fuck is a diet green tea? I live in Europe and we only have green tea with 0 calories.

[@smallman9787]

Soda addictions are probably the most widely untreated ones. Now I've been without it so long that carbonation is kind of shitty to me because it burns, but holy shit has chocolate milk been something I impulsively drink. If it's around the house, I can't stop myself. I don't think people who are prone to getting addicted to drinks really have a chance escaping that, especially with pretty much two dollars a gallon for anything you could ever like.

[@1301407gl]

Small Man Nah porn addiction

[@smallman9787]

Yeah you're right

[@aarOuOn]

The problem is that american culture doesn't view it as a real thing. People underestimate how bad drinks are for them, because in nature the only real drink (for adults) is water. The last attempt I heard of addressing this problem was New York's Soda Tax, which was so massively unpopular that it got repealed quickly after it got passed. Americans love their soda.

[@smallman9787]

There are no organizations making people aware of it, people ironically talk about the negative effects they have, it's cheaply and easily available, and there aren't even anyone willing to help you out with it in general, because they think it's easy to stop even though I know headaches and stomach aches are very common among people who attempt to.

[@dannykazari]

Mountain Dew boys

[@Rapshout]

hikikomery boys

[@sui6272]

This explains a lot.

[@Alienrun]

what does it explain exactly?

[@GobblesLaboratoryofSwagatory]

Why digi is fat and has terrible teeth

[@16JPE]

It all comes back around full circle

[@bobi200samatar6]

Mtn dew is the no 1 drink in Oman.

[@peterjoyfilms]

This was very interesting - I'm not sure we have Mountain Dew here in the UK but I have heard of it and I think it's probably very true that fizzy drinks like that are highly addictive.

[@이종우-중동고]

Lmao, you posting this made me think of my 5th grade when I stayed up all night with my friends drinking mtndew coz it had a lot of caffeine in it. Now I just drink coffee with a shit ton of sugar.

[@aff77141]

soda's dangerous, man also my mom's the same as yours with it, for like most of my life she would only drink regular coke or diet cherry vanilla dr pepper the bottle thing's definitely true, bottles are tier three for soda drinking and cans are always the best

[@MrLCGO]

Soda in general has been a huge problem with me. Any soda will do... Hope I can beat it this year, so far it's going smoothly and I can't really see any withdrawal symptoms so who knows...

[@Zero-de6hq]

That's funny I certainly didn't transfer from soda constantly to rarely easily, but I it wasn't that bad. It'll probably be worst when I stop entirely.

[@psychedelicbee5039]

I know a group of people who will literally meet up every weekend, each with a computer or PS4 to game on, and they'll have like 5 or 6 12 packs of mtn dew that they go through in that weekend. It's sickening.

[@isvvc_]

The dark souls of soda

[@JanizMakudomaru]

I thought I was listening to Decompression Chamber for a bit there.

[@rangergxi]

Always drank water and milk. Almost got addicted to root beer.

[@TheSugarRay]

The only thing I've been able to replace MD with is icewater.

[@VulpineDemon]

I know the addiction. I've been drinking 3 cans a DAY of Mountain Dew for probably a few years. Sometimes I'll only drink 2. My parents got me a water carbonator for Christmas this year which gets me to drink almost a liter (27 fl oz) of water a day but then they say they don't want to buy more than a case every few weeks. Mountain Dew is the only soda/pop here that still has caffeine. Since I don't drink coffee and very seldom energy drinks I have nothing to keep me awake. When I go without Mountain Dew I'm a lazy, exhausted mess with zero energy.

[@GodZirra]

Uh, that's not a lot. If you drank 3 cans of water a day would you be saying you're addicted to water?

[@kylerharris4246]

GodZirraAnim let me just say that Mountain Dew is a l o t more unhealthy than water

[@GodZirra]

Being unhealthy doesn't make it addictive. Oreos are unhealthy, eating a few a day doesn't make you have an addiction.

[@kylerharris4246]

GodZirraAnim- oh but sugar is addictive, water is not

[@GodZirra]

Really now? Your body dying without it sounds like an addiction to me.

[@bailey1667]

I've been addicted to green tea and peppermint tea for the past year.

[@rohithnibhanupudi9713]

Chemically addicted to strawberry milk

[@RedactedRyanTV]

Dude I used to stash lunch money for Mountain Dew as well lol

[@Kaidauren2]

Wawa is sooo good, was addicted to their sandwiches for a long time

[@aarOuOn]

I'm addicted to eggnog. Thank santa it's only in stores part of the year

[@MrSoulChives]

what flavor is mtn dew i was expecting an analysis from you digi

[@bilmureeinsheyds]

What do you drink in the pleeb and the weeb episodes?

[@Naygen]

I think it's green tea

[@ObscureDraws]

I drink a lot of coffee. Not because I like coffee. But because coffee makes me feel okay. I used to put lots of cream and sugar in coffee. Then I ran out of money, and had no cream and very little sugar. And now I just drink normal regular coffee.

[@AnimeFlyz]

Oh shit Wegmans? You try their subs? So god damn good.

[@throwdown1776]

Mtn Dew = my beer

[@deadgavin4218]

found the animesuki lucky star post. he still hasn't finished the references

[@Deathfromabove5]

Once you stop drinking soda you realize how gross it is when you taste it again.

[@kylerharris4246]

King Cobra I've had the opposite experience. Once I stopped drinking soda for about a month and after that root beer tasted so much better.

[@eartianwerewolf]

This is true for the most part. I quit drinking regular coke and now it taste gross because I switched to coke zero.

[@TheBberentzen]

lmao I can't believe people in the US have such unhealthy eating and drinking habits. Who would just let their children drink shit loads of soda every day?

[@cowloonie9392]

Not really just an american thing. Similar for alot of familys here in germany

[@eartianwerewolf]

I was addicted to coca-cola though....Like....5 cans a day; crazy crazy crazy . I don't do that anymore.

[@seekyunbounded9273]

i just want to ask , these fuzzy drinks do not burn your teeth ? i ask cuz i heard you once say candy does burn your teeth i mean i was thinking about it cuz i have quite fucked up teeth now and cant let any sugar get in those holes :/

[@Xozzen]

The most dangerous things for teeth are sugar and acids. Coke for example has a lot of phosphorous acid and is very sour, and also contains lots of sugar which is why it's really horrible for your teeth.

[@seekyunbounded9273]

i think the reason for sugar is cuz bacteria makes it into glucose acid , right ?

[@jayterra2585]

If you aint drinking Code Red or Livewire, get out of my face.

[@Syy]

I know that feel Digi. I used to be EXTREMELY addicted to Coke (the cola not the drug) but I was saved by the miracle of lemon water. I highly recommend seeking some out. It's basically carbonated water with lemon flavoring. It tastes EXACTLY like Sprite, except its just water. That effectively replaced the whole of soda for me, and I no longer crave it. Been entirely a water boy for 4 years now and the thought of going back to soda makes my teeth scream. I will say, try a bunch of different kinds. I tried the version Wallmart sells and was practically scrubbing the taste out of my mouth with a sponge seconds later. Best version I ever found is from HEB, which is exclusively a Texas chain sadly. HUGE fuckin bottle for 50 cents each - it's heaven. Anyways, quitting soda was the first major step I achieved in my weight loss battle. Without that, everything else would've been pointless. Edit: This shit. www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-sparkling-lemon-water-beverage/123660

[@turbocow2504]

I drink orange juice all day everyday that's what I love to drink.

[@ArcadeNOVA]

digi daily is crack for me

[@lost1head]

It always surprises me how important cars are for Americans. “How could I go to the store? I had no license”. I'm 23 and never even considered getting license or car. Why drive yourself when you can just read/watch/sleep on the bus/train instead of focusing on the driving. Cars are also expensive to buy/maintain, and it takes time and effort to learn how to drive. I guess in the US you have less public transport. And also less groceries, cos where I live there is a store every 500-1000 meters. Not saying it's worse to live in the US, just some interesting cultural differences.

[@ruebnn]

I was addicted to the cherry coke

[@generalpolaris1778]

I fucking love Rockstars, but I only get them maybe every couple weeks..

[@ChickenCast100]

iM STIll here, He won't remove me that easily.. Day 6 and 7

[@Ignore14]

Diet green tea, fuck yeah

[@C1NDR0N3]

Day 6 Magical

[@Qmark77]

Red Bull by the case - it's the only way to go.

[@allan4775]

Hey Digi, I recommend a much better and less shitty green drank. Just look up "Tarragon Soda" and don't worry about the fact that it looks like liquefied ogre, its actually really tasty and is better for you i think probably.

[@LeMeccerino]

Mountain Dew? Ew, Dr. Pepper is best girl.

[@aarOuOn]

I went to the Dr Pepper Museum & Free Enterprise Institute a few years back. It was interesting. i like dr pepper

[@eartianwerewolf]

I love Dr Pepper but it gives me ze poops.

[@cooleddie1438]

Dr pepper is harsh and gross a.f imo

[@Zelkiiro]

>watching Lucky Star >"it was the best night of anime watching in my life" Does not compute.

[@Zelkiiro]

You heard me.

[@phothewin6019]

Bruh, flat soda is still good, and in some instances, better than non-flat soda.

[@eartianwerewolf]

naw dawg. Get outta here with that shat.

[@HxH2011DRA]

Bugging

[@Urbanahawks21]

Listening to your childhood schemes to get mountain dew inspired me to drive to the convenience store like an adult and buy a 12 pack with my adult money. I felt a weird sense of justification and pride when i brought it home because I one up'd you as a kid. Now i have all this fucking mountain dew i dont actually want.

[@mikevestbeforelight134]

Drink juice! Juice is that real shit!

[@penguinhugz]

Lipton Diet Green Tea aint bad though

[@goinggorillasbananas4775]

I like my Mountain Dew like I like my women.

[@lizucavictoria]

Is it strange that I haven't ever drunk Mountain Dew in my entire life? It looks gross.

[@squashfold1934]

i'm not allowed to drink mountain dew

[@hamzasehavdic]

Vanilla Coke is god tier and every other soda can't match it

[@blazinghalo6888]

When i was a kid and drank mtn dew i never was cracked idk im just built different

[@roykong7024]

Sugar is probably the worst thing you could put in your body.

[@ChuckYuuu]

Stop smoking and drinking mountain dew so you make videos FOREVER

[@UmoLoco]

I've never understood how anyone can think mountain dew tastes good. It has a weird non real taste that leaves an odd after taste.

[@ScozzWasTaken]

The concept of drinking that much Mtn Dew (or that much of any soda, really) makes me feel sick. Suddenly I kinda understand those people who whined about Digi talking about weed and vaping.

[@SoldierLuka]

I love Mtn Dew
