[ehhhhhh]

This 1000% has the same vibe as:
"Does lava taste spicy?"
"Actually, since lava is made of a bunch of dirt and rocks, it'll probably taste bland and dusty, "

[BrenGamerYT]

MatPat: “why won’t coke sponsor me”
Also MatPat: “coke does really stupid marketing and their new drink tastes like dirt”

[Tokuijin]

Yeah, they also came out with "Dream" flavor, which I haven't had but I'd love to see an episode on it, though, I've lost my taste for cola.

I'm a bit salty on the Odwalla discontinuing.

In my experience, it has a taste but it's hard to describe besides "Unremarkable but wrong".

[danielhajjar]

Honestly I think that Starlight is one of the best Coca Cola flavors to date, it has a birthday cake ice cream taste and it makes me feel like a child again.

The continuous series of MatPat being jealous of Coke making deals with other people will never stop being funny

[RatRatRattyRatRat]

The first time I tasted the starlight coke, my first thought was

"This taste like the idea that all the stars in the night sky are already dead, but without the associated fear."

It was later explained to me that it is supposed to taste like cotton candy.
I also agree with this.

As someone who watched mlp (still kinda do) I'm sad mat missed the opportunity to use starlight glimmer at 3:40 but used twilight instead.
Loved the video still, always love watching this kind of videos

[sleepyhijinx]

Hey Mat! Big fan here!
Was on a roadtrip and found another coke creation, that claimed to taste like dreams, called “dreamworld”
As soon as I bought this, I immediately thought of this episode. Basically, I’m proposing a video idea of you guys talking about this dream soda in the same way that you talked about starlight! (I can’t say I can describe the flavor right now, but when I wafted the smell, it smelled like orange tic-tacs lmao)

“There’s nothing in space, so it should taste like La Croix” We have a new joke to add to the pile of lines about how little flavor is in La Croix! 😂

[milkmanconspiracy]

I’m convinced the flavor was originally “s’mores” (hence the campfire reference in the marketing, cotton candy flavor is the marshmallow, chocolate taste, etc) but they shelved it. Then someone got a brilliant idea to make money on it, hence, “space flavored”.

[tiffanischaeffer]

dude I love how much you put into this video you should do the Coca-Cola dream world one looking at the lake I was expecting cotton candy but after tasting it was EXTREMELY disappointed as it was just a mango taste I'd love to hear the reviews of this one!!

[blackcatpoe]

When I heard about the space soda and went to try it, I actually thought about it before tasting it. Considering all the other things floating in space is mostly rock(planets, asteroids, moons) and gas, I kind of anticipated the drink to taste kind of rocky. And it surprisingly did.

[Stephanafro]

I tried it the other day, and my mom described it perfectly: It basically tastes like when you rush over to the soda machine at McDonald's and run your cup through all the soda flavors at once to make one giga drink.

[koolkidsklub]

Fun fact: One time Coke tweeted something along the lines of “Who wants to be our best friend” or something like that. My English teacher replied and thought nothing of it A few weeks later, she got a $50 gift card for Coca Cola. Just a little story I decided to share with the world.

[ryanavelar]

coke: "the feeling of being by a campfire stargazing"
Matpat: "THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT TASE LIKE ASH AND BUGS"
evrey normal person: it tastes like gram crackers (kinda like what you would be expecting with the feeling of camping and siting around the campfire)

[Dork_]

0:02 I can't hear that word without thinking of sonic frontiers😭

[ranebowpartyrumpisto]

This soda somehow became my favorite. I never tasted anything earthy? I just came up with it being a wild cherry-vanilla soda with a fun touch of mint. I think the coldness is what makes it space tasting

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

"Stargazing tastes like grass clippings and mosquitoes and campfires taste like literal ash floating through the air"

I mean MatPat isn't wrong at all with that statement.

[deathswell]

2:07 when the odwalla discontinuation happened. A bit of me died. Honestly it was my favorite and underrated. Nostalgia in a bottle :(

[coolwolfygamer_epic]

i love how matt chuckled a little bit when saying the zeros
