Start your day with a great tasting McCafe coffee made just the way you like it. Now, in America, this story comes to us from America. A cereal brand, post-consumer brand. Now, they are known for Raisin Bran.

Is that what we have? Sultana Bran. Sultana Bran. We've got Sultana Bran. The better of the two dehydrated grapes, in my humble opinion. Oh, no, same. I don't. Raisins, no, never.

Too dry. Yeah. Yeah. What is the difference? Red and green, eh? Sultanas are green and raisins are red? Sultanas versus raisins. There is a...

That's wrong. Maybe that's wrong Raisins and sultanas Are produced from the same grape Thompson's seedless The only difference is The way they're dried A raisin is dried naturally

And a sultana is dipped In vegetable oil and acid And then dried Oh that's why We like the veggie acid dip We like the one That's been absolutely fucked with Yeah

What kind of acid? But isn't it Oh yeah I don't know And does that make them Kind of plumper? They keep a bit of juice. But anyway, sultanas over rations. This comes to us from the comment section of theguardian.co.uk

where somebody said, what's the difference between a raisin and a sultana? Someone said a raisin comes from red grapes and a sultana from white, so there was that. Yeah. Someone said the difference is about $1.50 a kg, which I appreciate. That's funny.

And someone else said the sultana They told us the answer Sultana's a dry grape, sultana's the wife of a sultan And someone said Who cares? Oh no, I do Don't write who cares You're amongst a group of people who care Now producer Jared has just chimed in

In the group chat whilst discussing the difference He said, let's be honest, they taste exactly the same. They do. No, they don't. Sultanas are juicier. What? Sultanas are juicier. Raisins are drier.

You could put both of them in front of me and I couldn't identify the difference. Well, that's you. That's on you. That's racist. They both look the same. It's also, that's okay from your seat of privilege, Colin. Yeah, wow. That is just, you sound so privileged right now.

They don't look the same. Raisins are darker and more shriveled. Yeah, but green apples are green and red apples are red. And they taste different. They taste different. Look, here's...

They're both yuck. No, sultanas are a bit plumpier. They're both yuck. Sultanas are plumpier and also a little lighter in colour as well. Sultana better in a muffin than a bran muffin.

Ew. With sultanas. Bran and sultana muffin. Do sultanas get chewy like raisins do in baking? No. They can do if they're not maybe as fresh. But do you want them to be

chewy or you don't want them to be chewy? I just googled. It says they're produced from the same grape. Yeah but that's what we're saying. So they're the same. The process is different. The process, Carlin. Repeat for Carlin. They can't taste different if they have the same origins.

A raisin is dried naturally, but a sultana is dipped in vegetable oil and acid and then dried. So then is a raisin different from a sun-made raisin? No, a sun-made is the brand. Yeah, that's the brand. That's the brand, sweetie. That's the brand. And the Californ a sun made is the brand. Yeah that's the brand That's the brand sweetie And the Californian sun versus the other sun What other sun?

Sun in a different part of the world The sun in America hon, it's the same sun we get here Location, latitude longitude. Same sun for all hon I reckon we could draw a good sultana here Okay look we're off topic because the reason I mention the Cereal

The Raisin brand This company Post-consumer brands also make Grape Nuts And Fruity Pebbles Whatever the hell those are They have launched This cereal company have launched A range of cereals that it wants

You to include in your nightly sleep routine. No. Night cereals. Night cereals is for sad times. When you're sad. Yeah. So you eat cereal because it's easy and you're sad. It would be Cocoa Pops, right?

Or Fruit Loaves. It would be something yum. Like it would almost be bordering on dessert. Yeah. Well, they are the cereal of crunchy flakes and almonds called Sweet Dreams comes with a description that reads like a box of herbal tea. It says touting notes of lavender and chamomile as well as vitamins and minerals intended to support the body's production of sleep hormone melatonin. No, I want Fruit Loops, which have got all that stuff, but not really.

It's just the color of all that stuff and lots of sugar. The cereal contains 13 grams of added sugar from cane sugar, corn syrup, and molasses. So that's not going to help you nightly sleep. If anything, it's going to give you energy and give you a sugar spike on why you. Yeah, and then the sugar turns into fats. Yeah, especially the body can't break down corn syrup, can it? Does it? No. High fructose corn syrup, it can't do it. What does it do? Does it, you poop it out? Does it? Does it? What does it do?

Does it you poop it out? Does it get stuck? Isn't that sugar documentary? What was it? The White Devil? It was just bad for you Sugar was bad Well I'm okay with it Just a little bit of bad
