Food Theory: The Pink Sauce Mystery SOLVED (TikTok)

Guys, we have discovered the secret recipe for the famous

pink

ticking

sauce

. It's perfect, Matthew, I'm not feeling very well, have you seen the pepto minty? Hello Internet, welcome to

food

theory

, the stay-fresh-without-refrigeration show, today. Looking at the latest viral

food

phenomenon, the infamous

pink

tick tac

sauce

, this neon nash has been sweeping the internet all summer, leaving tickers, tweeters, grammarians and tubers clamoring for a bit of the stuff and then clamoring for the nearest bathroom while the sauce arrives unprotected and spoiled. or blew up all this false propaganda that's happening on the internet, I'm just a victim of influence, victim of influence, huh, well, I'd rather be a victim of influence than a victim of botulism for those of you who don't know what am.

I'm talking about why you refuse to download tick-tock and out of fear of our international corporate overlords, I mean, out of fear of how much you'll love your time on the platform. Pink sauce is a condiment invented by the self-proclaimed flavor genius chef urine a private chef who somehow doesn't know what the letters FDA mean what do you mean FDA approved? I don't sell medical products, so who could have expected the Food and Drug Administration to show interest in a potentially unsafe food? no one tells him, I'm sure he'll find out eventually. The food you're trying and failing to defend here is this unholy concoction pink sauce, basically if you take pepto-bismol and put it in a squeeze bottle, video, verse, foam. and some fried chicken that exploded overnight thanks to its unnatural color, suddenly everyone wanted to know what this was and you know what they're still wondering even though hundreds of bottles were ripped off because the packaging is absolutely riddled with errors .

So while everyone in the digital comment world is here telling you all the reasons why consuming the product is dangerous, let me make it clear that you should not buy this stuff and definitely not consume it. I'm here today to figure it out. solve the question everyone seemed to skip in the process: what is pink sauce? Can you safely prepare it at home, allowing you to avoid paying twenty dollars for this salmonella sample? We will only use our heads and everything we know. on food science, which is not much to make pink sauce safe at home, yes, all the virality of pink sauce minus one key ingredient, real viruses in the past, we have managed to discover KFC's secret recipes , so I mean how hard, could this be good from the start?

There is one key thing that separates the pink sauce from the kfc secret recipe and that is the fact that you know that kfc actually has a recipe, it is consistent, it is repeatable, meanwhile here is the first video of the pink sauce and here There is another one and another one and this is how it looks today the color is different literally in every video published about the material of a sauce that has pure branding around its color the color is not even consistent hell, I wouldn't even call it pink Ya sometimes there are seeds sometimes there aren't any sometimes you can see chili flakes sometimes no this is never the same sauce twice but I hear what you're saying people already have the sauce, they have the label, that label has the ingredients and nutritional information well, I can't tell you the ingredients I use to make it pink, but it's pink, no, no, you have to tell people the ingredients again, that's probably why the FDA wants to have a conversation with you.

The sauce has only been an official product since July 1st when we started production. You are judging a prototype, nothing like beta testing your incomplete food product on the people who paid twenty dollars a bottle. Well, to be fair, the bottles you're shipping. People actually have a label and a sticker on the back of the bottle that says nutritional information, but I can literally stick a sticker that says that on anything and it doesn't necessarily make it true, and in the case of pink sauce. If you think the nutrition label will give us an accurate picture of what's inside the bottle, well, your stomach will pay for that mistake.

I won't go into this too much because this is territory that has already been covered by many other channels, but the label on the back of this thing is so far from correct that it's almost useless, for example the label says there are 444 portions of sauce inside the 444 bottle, I mean, do I have to go further? I have ever seen a food product with this many servings, the highest amount I have seen is whipped cream and that is only in the 70's for almost any other condiment, a bottle this size would typically contain between 30 and 40 servings depending on a size of serving of a tablespoon and you can probably imagine that if they couldn't come up with a basic number like that, then things will really fall apart once they start doing real calculations like here, where the total number of carbohydrates is not equal to the sum of the sugar in fiber should be 15 but instead it shows up as three or what's up here where there is only one gram of fat listed but supposedly there is more sunflower oil than honey inside this thing according to the order of the ingredients list and sunflower oil is pure fat, so there's one gram of sunflower oil and less than one gram of all the other ingredients here per serving, I mean, I guess if each of the 400 servings is like the size of a drop of rain, then surely there are also very few ingredients here that could provide storage stability to the product, which is a big concern when you have a considerable amount of garlic and potato, both products are perishable.

It is also notable that this sauce in every video and every different shade of pink always appears as a creamy sauce, it is opaque. and has a consistency similar to honey mustard or mayonnaise and yet the ingredient list on the package contains nothing that could create a sauce like this, there is no mention of dairy or egg products that could serve as a binding agent which would give it this creamy consistency. There is also an ingredient here called vinegar. We actually had to import it from some shed. It really is a special ingredient. See what I mean.

It just completely breaks down at the end of the day. This is not a list of ingredients. It's a mix-up of words, so in our attempt to discover the real pink sauce, we'll first do our best based on reverse engineering the nutrition label here and note that I use heavier quotes when I say that if we don't come If we opt For something that looks or tastes like pink sauce, we'll modify the recipe as little as possible to achieve something that looks and tastes closer to how online reviewers described it. Can it compare to anything sweet ranch?

It's like a stealth email. Also, as a side note, no one likes this stuff on his tick-tock page, Chef Pee keeps uploading videos where he forces people to drink the sauce and then everyone is too polite to say anything negative about it. Your sauce is delicious, says the woman who practically refuses to try it herself. She blinks twice if you are being held here against your will, she says before even trying it and then refuses to look at the camera, yes, you saw they are coming. the reviews of the subtitles and are bad, but these things. it's delicious and I don't know what it tastes like you don't know what it tastes like eh well my very awkwardly hyphenated friend is what we aim to find out today so let's try to make the sauce using the ingredients and nutritional information listed.

To calculate the quantities you will try to make the sauce, as it is written in the ingredients and nutritional information on the back of the pink sauce bottle, we will explain in the video why we couldn't. Exactly, uh, we discovered a recipe, but we made the best sauce we could. This recipe is pretty sustainable now that we're legally required to also make a vent reference, so I'm going to go over here and make up this vent, here I am. this is me venting the vents oh I see it oh there's a vent in the floor yeah have you ever heard of sending Gregory back to the food channel to make a decent sized quantity that we can test on a quantity of food We mix 10 servings so each part of the nutrition facts will be multiplied by 10 and starting with sugar there are 11 grams of sugar per serving and only two ingredients listed have sugar content, honey and dragon fruit.

Oh wow, this is really serious. It is a very serious knife that our friend Andrew brought you, thank you Andrew, you are going to buy quality products there. Thanks for commenting on my amazing t-shirts. Oh my gosh, your shirt is amazing. It is available right below this video. Quality game

theory

merchandise. white I ask you how are you just you have to say you're fine when you're not this one will be red look it's like a loot box which one are we going to get today here we go let's go red we use 122 grams of the honey it gives us 100 grams of sugar and 130 grams of dragon fruit, which gives us an additional 10 grams of sugar, which equals 110 grams total, just call us chef p chef p as in patrick chef p as in precision chef peas in pretty cool, I think we should go ahead with In the recipe below, we needed 40 grams of fiber, we already have four from honey and dragon fruit, so we still need 36.

The only other ingredient listed that contains fiber is garlic, which has 0.2 grams. per garlic, so we only need to add 180 cloves, oh dear, this is already starting to break down. I'm not going to put that much garlic in here, so we'll do the rest of the recipe and see how it goes, the rest of the ingredients. distilled vinegar, water, Himalayan salt and sunflower seed oil before we get to the ingredients of less than two percent, if we are going to buy one gram of fat per serving, that means there is only one gram of sunflower oil that it's pure fat so that's 10 grams of oil the clock in the video of the chef urinating making the sauce, it seems like we disagree on the amount of oil there but I'll go ahead with the numbers you've listed on your nutrition label Anyway, we did the same with the vinegar and water and about three grams of Himalayan salt based on the sodium listed in the nutritional information.

Finally, less than two percent of the ingredients, we added six grams of spices that were chili flakes and onion powder 5 grams citric acid a splash of milk and lemon juice After all that, we were still missing a lot of fiber for the sake of our taste buds and Raleigh, North Carolina's garlic supply . I just added two cloves and called it a day, then we mixed it all together and hoped for the best. Pointing out that ingredients are again supposed to be listed based on the amount used proportionally in the recipe, our order came out very differently, but it is not actually possible to meet these nutritional requirements with the ingredients as they are currently written. getting ready to mix, we'll have an idea what color it really is before we try this, you have to subscribe, I'm putting my life on the line for you, look at this, this is disgusting, but I'm trying it. science and for your enjoyment, so if that's not worth hitting the subscribe button, I don't know what is, subscribing is free, a stark contrast to the amount of medical care I will need after this episode, at first glance, a thing was certain. this was not the sauce chef pee is using, the color is purple, not the kirby pink we expected for dragon fruit, while it provides color, it is a watery fruit and left us with a runny broth, it is not a sauce Finger licking good, so not a great start.

Visually, but remember flavor wise, we are looking for something that resembles a sweet ranch and wow, it's a trip for your taste buds, oh man, it's sweet at first, it has garlic throughout, I'm not squeamish or picky. Person, I don't enjoy that flavor, it had that going for it if you squint really hard, but it lacked any kind of creaminess because, again, it doesn't have any binding agent or ingredient that creates a creamy, sticky texture. I must admit that so far chef p is also failing in his mission, since the bottle says he excites my taste buds and excites me with his creativity, the only creative thing about all this is his creative interpretation of the meaning of the numbers, so for trying to get a creamier texture with a color that is more like pink sauce, I went rogue and took two different approaches: first I added a little mayonnaise to the mixture we already made, why mayonnaise, well you see this here next to the chef pee in this video, I mean what is that ingredient?

It is white and viscous. Honestly, it doesn't apply to any other ingredients in the sauce, it's not garlic puree because you can see the garlic cloves floating there in the literal vat of oil it created in the blender. In fact, I suspect that the mayonnaise may be acting as more than just an ingredient, you notice the yellow-topped squeeze bottles that the pink sauce comes packaged in, why wouldn't it haveyour pink sauce? I don't know, a yellow pink cap is nowhere to be found on your brand unless your main ingredient is mayonnaise and you happen to have a ton of these yellow capped bottles just by reusing the old mail bottles, cleaning up the boom of the label, you have a new product anyway, I thought the mail would help create a nice stable creaminess where it's missing now.

I tried, I definitely try vinegar, I definitely try garlic and I get a little bit of honey, but not really much for the other approach. I got serious. I knew we were looking for a sweet ranch flavor, so why not just cut it up? chase, I mixed our hidden friendThe valley ranch hashtag is not generated and dragon fruit together, so our sauces are all mixed together. Now it's time for the taste test, so on this side we have our ranch that has all the great seasonings and spices, garlic vinegar, it's already got it all there. so all we did was add fruit and basically we have a nice fruit ranch, so really this is ranch plus dragon fruit, yeah, ranch with dragon fruit, that's right on this side, we have kind of the opposite, so we have plain mayonnaise, nothing. but we added all of our mixture to it, so in this our fruit mixture has the vinegar, the honey, the salt, the garlic and all that, so we got to a similar color and consistency on both sides, I was going to say from the Color standpoint, this is pretty much the quintessential pink sauce and from a texture standpoint, it seems to be what we see in the tic tac, yeah, ranch, I mean, it's ranch, it's great, oh yeah, that just tastes like ranch, it's just ranch, you can't taste any fruit, you see the pink color, but you don't taste anything remotely pink.

It tastes like ranch, which is delicious. Who wouldn't like the ranch? Honestly everyone is making a big deal like no why is it 20 for one of these bottles is because she is buying this plus like a five dollar fruit a dragon fruit is expensive they are very expensive each one is five dollars you have to charge a lot for that yeah, okay, done, let's go for the mayonnaise and type mix or I like it, it's pretty good, I'm ashamed of myself right now, it's a sweet macho, it's a macho with a kick, you definitely don't taste dragon fruit yet, no, in neither of them, absolutely not, so the main ingredient in both is mayonnaise. and the ranch, the other things are just seasonings and then the color, yeah, I mean the only thing this dragon fruit is doing is just color, that's nothing more, so what I think we need to do is combine these two guys so we'll get the final pink sauce and then we'll dip some chicken in it, yeah, that's the cutlery drawer, do you know where the stuff is?

I do, it's your kitchen, but I'm on camera and I choked under pressure, oh, that's it. that's it it's sweet ranch so this is homemade pink sauce and plus you can refrigerate it at home that way you can get a viral video without the virus there's only one thing left to do the chicken test smear it on there oh yeah oh okay, so what is it? the pink sauce, well we can say with certainty that it is not what is listed on the label, very clearly there is an important thickening or binding agent in the sauce that is simply missing from the labeling, so we have to get into the realm of speculation, but having spent the last week testing the sauce and expanding and improving every video I could find.

I think the actual sauce recipe is a combination of our two tests. If it tastes like sweet Ranch Occam's razor, friends, it might be full of ranch. The spiciness people talk about comes from the chili powder, as Chef Pee says in Tic Tac, then there's a bit of sweetness in the honey that she shows in her helpful infographic that leaves us with just one thing: the color now in she. tik tok she shows off using red dragon fruit in this video btw it looks and sounds like a murder basement. Now, to be fair, red dragon fruit produces a deep red color, so maybe you really are using the fruit as it appears in the ingredients they say.

It's pretty low on the ingredients list and what we discovered was that we had to add a lot of things to get the color we were looking for. Dragon fruit is also an expensive ingredient and adds a lot of work. Just to achieve the color I was saying, if we used dragon fruit powder that you can buy on Amazon, we actually had to use a lot less which made things a lot more cost effective and we didn't have to change the flavor of the sauce at all. absolute, so rosy. sauce, it's basically just dragon fruit powder with ranch honey and a little chili, maybe a little mayonnaise for extra creaminess and the bottle, so why lie about the ingredients?

The recipe for pink sauce is not rocket science and neither is the question when you experience it. even a ray of internet fame, you know you have a very short window of time to do something with it. By looking at the chef's tick-tock pre-sauce, you can see that she was already posting regularly creating formats for herself building a personal brand. She was not a person who accidentally became famous on the Internet, she very intentionally became famous on the Internet. and then tried to cash in on it, was she ready to launch a sauce brand? No, clearly not again, we are out of the land of theory. and at this point he was already well into the realm of speculation, but I guess he saw a one in a million opportunity and was so afraid of missing it that he was quick to take shortcuts in both the labeling and the quality of the product he was producing. , he was afraid of losing his niche, so he refused to share his ingredients in case someone came in and took his sauce on the road at the end of the day.

Don't buy the pink sauce, but don't buy the stuff either. in general, from people you might not be able to trust on the internet, I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but here we are folks, if you want to try pink sauce, make your own, it's not hard, we gave it to you basically. the recipe here and remember the next time you see pepto-bismol in a bottle sold online, maybe you'll give it a pass, but hey, that's just a theory, a food theory, bon appetit, she's got this blender giant full of sunflowers, I mean, it's like a vat of oil, he's going to pour that on someone at the castle gates, I mean, it's huge, he's just going to pour it on someone at the castle gates, what's boiling?

I imagined it, imagine it as one of those Japanese game shows. where they're trying to climb the slippery steps every night in their armor and saying "whoa"
