Recently on the show, I mentioned how I saw somebody at, when I was at Walmart, in fact, buying a bottle of Skittles juice. And I didn't know that Skittles juice existed, but it does. It's a thing. And there was someone actually buying it on purpose. And so then, of course, we got the suggestion from McKennav, oh, you should drink, you should drink Skittles Juice on camera. And that quickly, what that quickly turned into was, well, let's, in fact, have me try all of the worst junk food that's currently on the market.

This is actually, this is all the stuff that RFK Jr. is going to be banning. These are all, these are all going to be the banned items that, um, I'm going to, I'm going to taste them now and get cancer from them now right before, right before that they're banned. So RFK Jr. is going to bust through those doors any minute now. Because most of them have, what is it that they have in them, McKenna that is going to get banned? A lot of these items have Red 40. Red 40. And Red 40 is essentially what a poison that gives you cancer. Is that right? That's correct. All right.

One to five. Five is like a delicious $95 steak at your favorite steakhouse. And one is pure rancid filth. And I'll give my review. We'll start with these. What are these, McKenna? What are these things you? Those are red velvet cookies. Red velvet cookies. Okay, red velvet cookies with, what's it? Is it marshmallow in the middle? I believe it's just white chocolate chips. No, there's, what is that white stuff in the middle? You better know what that is. I'm not eating if you don't know what that is. Is that not on the packaging?

You can always find out, but just trying it. All right, and this has red 40 in it, okay? You can tell because it's kind of red. Is that red, I guess? No, I'm trying it, and I still don't know what that is. It looks like what it tastes like, which is not food. This is not food. You shouldn't be eating this.

This is not meant for human consumption. Did we not give me an actual glass of water for this pit? Why not have actual water to drink in between these? That's a one. That's a one out of five. So I have a feeling that's going to be what all these are rated. Okay, next we have. What are these?

So those are Lucky Charms Breakfast bars? That is my least favorite cereal. So he's got Red 40 in them too? Yes, they do. Not as bad as the other one. Still really bad, don't get me wrong. Who's eating this? This is what I want to know.

I can't imagine a grown adult eating a Lucky Charms breakfast bar. I can't imagine that. So this is what kids, for kids. What parent is buying this for their kids? You should go to prison if you buy this for your kids. You should actually go to prison.

That's a one also. Okay, what is this? Rice Krispies. Oh, Sonic Rice Krispies. Yeah, because I don't like Sonic, so. I mean, I've had Rice Krispies, so this is not. Yeah, I mean, you know. Again, I'm going to assume that adults are not eating Sonic, Sonic Rice Krispy treats.

I actually feel, I'm not just saying this for camera. I feel sick. Okay, that's a one also. So I was going to say that we should just all the stuff needs to be chucked into a fire, but I don't think you can burn it. I don't think it's safe to burn it. If you burn it, you'll have to evacuate the whole town. It'll be Chernobyl.

Those are Pillsbury Funfetti popcorn. Pillsbury Funfetti. popcorn. Why are people fat? Where's the obesity epidemic coming from? It's such a mystery. There's a market. There's a market for Pillsbury, funfetti popcorn. And then we're wondering, what is everyone fed for? Is it a genetic? Is it a hormonal? There's hormonal imbalances. There's a thyroid. Everyone has thyroid problems. No, it couldn't be the Pillsbury Fonfetti popcorn that everyone's eating. Okay, number one, it's stale, I think. And it's awful. I mean, it's just, It's not popcorn.

This is not popcorn. That's a lie. This is not what, like, what is that? That's styrofoam in there. That's not popcorn. Is this actually food? Is this part of the joke? Is this part of the bit?

You gave me one thing that's not even food? No, that, well, it's in the food section. That's styrofoam. You see that? You hear that? Can you hear the, was that next to the microphone? You can hear that, that's not, this is not, that's not the sound of popcorn. This is, what is that when you, you know, when you order something, you know, something, you know,

something fragile in the mail, and they have all the, you know, the little styrofoam peanut things that get all over the place. It's, this is that. I just ate that. Let's get this out of the way. So this I actually know you absolutely hate peep's cereal. Peep's cereal. Is this raw milk that you put in here too? Is that part, is that going to be the next thing? Just tell me now. Is it raw milk? No, that would have been a really good idea, though. No, it would not be a good idea. I can get E. coli and cancer. Maybe they cancel each other out. I don't know if it works that way. It's like, it's all soggy. Oh, God help me.

That's not even a one. I don't know what. That's not even, that doesn't make it on the scale. Is that Windex? Did you spray Windex in this? Oh my God, no. Full-on Windex. I've never had Windex before,

but it tastes like what I imagine Windex tastes like. What is this fizzy bullshit here? What is this? That's the Energy Drink C-4, and that is Jolly Rancher's flavor. specifically green apple. Oh my God. Oh, that's bad.

That is vile. We went to war with Iraq over this kind of thing. We did. This is like, this is chemical warfare. So actually what's slightly more horrifying about that is there are zero added sugars. Then what is all the sweetness? Just pure chemical.

Chemical sweetness. Don't laugh at my... I don't want to hear you laughing. Turn the thing off if you're going to laugh and enjoy it so much. Okay, so finally, after that tour through the Bowls of Hell, we've made it to the Skittles Juice, the thing that started all this, started us on this madcap journey. I do, I feel nauseated, I feel sickened. I guess I'm supposed to take a sip of all these.

So let's, now we finally made it to the Skittles Juice. What the f*** is that? What is that? That's the tropical flavored one. No, that's Drano. I had Drano once. I told myself I'd never drink it again. I need to go to the hospital.

I actually am going to leave and go to the hospital. I don't know if I can drive. I don't know if I can make it there. I think I'm going to need an ambulance. It's like Kool-Aid, but it tastes less healthy. I mean, it's making me pine for the nutritional value of Kool-Aid. It's terrible. This is, uh, it is as bad as I thought, but worse at the same time.

And my stomach right now is screaming out. in pain, my soul is crying with anguish. Uh, RFK Jr., save us from this. I lost my train of thought. Okay, that's it. We can cut it off.
