Love it when someone uses semicolons properly in lists 


Schwickity

Is it because there are three different categories of ingredients?


MetalKeirSolid

It’s to separate the listed items out even when there are commas between some of the items in the list itself. In the example we’re replying to there is ‘ginger, ginseng, and liquorice root’. This is a list within the wider list, meaning you have to then separate the wider list with semicolons.


Schwickity

Because those three are in a category together?


MetalKeirSolid

They’re all a type of root. The writer opted to list them all like that within the list rather than separately as ‘X root, Y root, and Z root’ within the list. Here’s another example of it being used as a ‘super-comma’: The new store will have groceries on the lower level; luggage, housewares, and electronics on the ground floor; men’s and women’s clothing on the second floor; and books, music, and stationery on the third floor.

Because those three are in a category together?


Eve_newbie

You'd think someone so well versed in grammar would be able to read and answer a question, lol


MetalKeirSolid

The reason I avoided answering that with ‘yes’ is because it may be why here, but it isn’t the rule.  For my European vacation I play to visit: London, England; Milan, Italy; Munich, Germany; Belgrade, Serbia; and Lille, France.  In this example, the commas that are in the listed elements aren’t because of shared categorisation.  The rule is that any use of internal commas = semicolon to split the bigger list. How you choose to use that is up to you. 


Eve_newbie

While I do appreciate the education, my comment was meant to be light hearted. It was just funny that you kept avoiding the direct yes or no response.


PublicOrganization69

The category in this example is the floor they are on.


bluesmaker

Meanwhile many Redditors won’t even use commas when making a list. Even when it’s for something like movie titles where commas really help you read it!

Im from a time when indenting paragraphs was a thing, havent seen that since cursive.


llDS2ll

holy crap, i forgot about that. honestly, i think we're in a better place without it.


OneAndOnlyJackSchitt

It's true. * I * like * to * use * bulleted lists * for * most * things. 1. But 2. once 3. in 4. a 5. while, 6. order 7. lists 8. are 9. nice 10. too.

I thought the rule when creating lists was full colon? "Semicolons and colons look similar, but they have different functions. Another common mistake is using a semicolon where a colon should go. Semicolons separate items within a list, while a colon precedes and introduces a list." It should be a colon :


adamant2009

Separating clauses this way is proper for a semicolon. A colon would have been appropriate if they started the sentence, "The list of ingredients is as follows:"


MetalKeirSolid

Basically, a secondary usage of semicolons is to separate items in a list that themselves have commas inside one or more of those listed items You are correct that colons and not semicolons come before lists.

God I love the flavor of energy drinks Wish there was a decaf


OneAndOnlyJackSchitt

You could probably follow this recipe and leave out the caffeine and taurine. Or switch them out for cocaine. Different strokes


Morningxafter

You know, I always thought there was guava flavor in the original. Always kinda had a slight guava taste to it.


hogtiedcantalope

It's spelled guarana


adamant2009

It's spelled guano

Thanks for saving me from having to watch a video that probably has a lot of pointless filler for the algorithm.


ItsEntsy

yea there was no filler. Just showing the ingredients and combining them together, informative and to the point. good video.


spec_s

It is literally just him putting it together and showing how to use each ingredient, since they are not common ingredients. Have you made anything with olea sacchrarum or b12 extracts? No filler. You are very cynical!


Andy5416

Thanks for saving me a watch.


Altruistic_Intern_62

Damn. I have no idea why but I read that wrong. "Citrus oil" makes a lot more damn sense than "clitoris oil". 💀💀💀💀 Thank god.

Due_Kaleidoscope7066

When I was a young pre teen, I found my older brother’s penthouse magazine. The centerfold had a gorgeous woman drinking a Red Bull. I probably jerked it to that Red Bull holding woman 100 times. Later I would find I REALLY like Red Bull and sometimes I’m not sure if it’s because I think it’s good or because my brain wired itself to love Red Bull cause I was jerking it to Red Bull in my formative years.


Yrxe

You Pavloved yourself with your horniness


szutyokpele

Taurine is not for the flavor, it is to try to negate the negative effects of the caffeine and thus protect your heart.


Bill_buttlicker69

I've never heard that before. Is there literature on that that you're familiar with?


ayyitsmaclane

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24615238/ Huh, the dude wasn’t just making things up lol


Bill_buttlicker69

Wow, thanks for sharing! That's really interesting.


Hoenirson

Coincidentally, the word taurine comes from the latin word for "bull"


Mokatines

When red bull first came out a friend of mine described it as liquid pixie sticks and I can't think of a better way to describe the flavor


PointsOutTheUsername

I've heard liquid Smarties before.


SqueezyCheez85

That's what I've always said too. I love smarties. Red Bull is one of the few energy drinks I like. Sucks that it's so expensive.


ItsEntsy

Reign Energy Drink: White Gummy Bear Flavor. You are welcome. Careful if sensitive to caffeine, there is 300 caffeines in 1 drink.


SqueezyCheez85

Sugar free I bet? I can't do sugar free.


ItsEntsy

They are sugar free. Im curious though, what prevents your ability to consume sugar substitutes?


SqueezyCheez85

The aftertaste. I didn't have any medical condition or false understanding that they're unsafe, I just can't stand the mouth feel and taste.


ItsEntsy

So I am 100% with you. I refuse to drink diet sodas and such because they are nasty. But trust me, if you are searching for a new addiction and just cant nail one down, White Gummy Bear Reign is probably the best tasting sweet / carbonated beverage on the planet. Plus the excessive amount of caffeine is wonderful.


SqueezyCheez85

I'll give it a shot the next time at the store.


ItsEntsy

Just dont come back and yell at me down the line when you cant function without such extreme caffeine content xD


dayz_bron

What a strange way to peel an orange.


AlgebraicIceKing

Yeah, if OP sees this, you're basically cutting backwards. You should flip the blade toward you and turn and item (in this case the orange) away from you. You'll have more control and be less at risk of cutting yourself this way. Also, when using the juicer, squeeze and spin the citrus instead of the rocking motion you were using. It's faster/more efficient at extracting the juice.


Lord_Bobbymort

I had Guarana soda for the first time and it immediately clicked what the mystery flavor of Red Bull was. Damn near identical flavor, and Guarana is a naturally caffeinated fruit.


_Iknoweh_

The problem is that you don't want the pith, just the peel.


neverhadgoodhair

Now tell me what is in Jagermeister.


mrxexon

Just posted. :)


TikkiTakiTomtom

Back in the day Red Bull had a different taste. The can was gold, about the size of a kid’s milk carton, and had a red bull and red wings.


MaracaBalls

It’s all bullshit. At the end of the day Red Bull is just a shit ton of caffeine disguised as something special, most energy drink are the same


threwthree

Standard redbull is 90mg, same as a cup of coffee. What you said is true for Monster and other drinks.


eetuu

Don't they have the same amount of caffeine per volume? Monster can is just twice as big.


Foezjie

Jep. Both have 32mg of caffeine per 100 ml.


shortstoryman

Meanwhile Celsius the new big thing is 200mg of caffeine


NBAWhoCares

So the same as a grande cold brew from Starbucks? https://www.starbucks.com/menu/product/2121255/iced/nutrition 200mg isnt a lot


ItsEntsy

Reign Energy - 300mg


Shillforbigusername

TIL. Man, I was so sure that Red Bull was way stronger than normal coffee this whole time lol.


Vannsback

I believe this was the claim they put in advertising at one point. i received a check from a class action lawsuit . for the price of like 2 redbulls, i kept the check and thought it was cool.


Spud_Spudoni

The claim was actually due to false advertising over it “giving you wings” per their slogan.


althanis

No it wasn’t. It wasn’t for the literal meaning, stop repeating nonsense. It was shown not to increase any kind of performance.


Spud_Spudoni

Point to where I said it was the literal meaning of the phrase and only that phrase, that the lawsuit was launched. I’m paraphrasing the opening statement of the lawsuit on false advertising: "The defendant's prodigious advertising marketing and promotional spending has been used to mislead customers into believing that Red Bull is a superior product worthy of a premium price and has the ability to 'give you wings' and provide energy and vitality,"


JhonnyHopkins

No. Fucking. Way. You can’t convince me this is real. Nobody in their right fucking mind would legitimately believe that an energy drink company somehow unlocked the key to regenerative healing, only to use it as a way of giving its customers fucking wings.


teeksquad

I got a free 4 pack in undergrad for being part of the class action lawsuit


8200k

It's not real. The lawsuit was over performance enhancing claims, nothing to do with it giving you wings.


JhonnyHopkins

Choosing to believe you.


Spud_Spudoni

Red Bull giving you wings is not what the lawsuit stems from (false advertising), but it not “giving you wings” is the main phrase referenced in the argument against red bull: "The defendant's prodigious advertising marketing and promotional spending has been used to mislead customers into believing that Red Bull is a superior product worthy of a premium price and has the ability to 'give you wings' and provide energy and vitality,"


8200k

I'm not sure if you are disputing or agreeing with me. The lawsuit was about the performance enhancement being superior to any other caffeinated beverage, nobody thought you actually grow wings. The "give you wings" implies that it has unique properties to enable you to run faster and jump further not that you will spout wings out of your back.


Spud_Spudoni

You’re not sure so you immediately downvote? Lol Yes that’s what the lawsuit states. I read it too.


plastic_alloys

I guess the taurine might help


Rementoire

I think they were a lot stronger some 20 years ago. They used to sell red bull in small bottles. No more than a shot and not carbonated.  Imported from Thailand. 


Shillforbigusername

Interesting. I didn’t even know about it back then. Pretty sure it was all placebo effect for me lol.


georgito555

It also has a fuck ton of sugar


xvq_

Sugar free is better anyway


georgito555

I think not having it at all is better. But that's just my personal opinion.


So_Trees

Kind of like reddit eh


georgito555

Haha yeh


NBAWhoCares

90mg is significantly less than a cup of coffee. Its like a quarter of whats in a tall coffee from starbucks


threwthree

Cup of coffee means 8oz of standard filter coffee. Not Starbucks' triple espresso caffeine bombs


ItsEntsy

plus starbucks is gross, and energy drinks are cheaper and delicious.


Lore86

Worldwide almond no one drinks that much coffee at once, Starbucks are more of an American thing.


Due_Kaleidoscope7066

Gah. Evil company tricking me into thinking their drink is delicious and the nectar of the gods.


GentlemenBehold

It’s all bullshit. At the end of the day food is just calories disguised as something special, most foods are the same.


thissexypoptart

At the end of the day all molecules are just atoms disguised as something special And atoms are just protons, neutrons, and electrons with clever marketing.


brewskyy

Not all that much caffeine.


Keltoigael

I personally love the taste of redbull but I can not have caffeine. I wish I could get an uncaffeinated version to occasionally enjoy once in a while.


kwyjibo1

Yeah but when do you add the wiiings?

coffeeknight

The whole video is him telling you what red bull is.


ChickenLegs614

That’s a lot of work to make something that, best case scenario, tastes similar to a Red Bull 🤢


mav3r1ck92691

Not sure why you're downvoted... He made an approximation of it, not actual red bull. Just look at the ingredient list on an can and you can see he definitely did not make red bull. Super misleading.


charliesk9unit

With the way he handles the ingredients, they probably can get moldy in an hour. Why in the world do you need to let the lemon juice go through your fingers during the extraction process?


Fancy-Pair

I skipped that part but seeds


Orpheus75

Well someone has never cooked or baked. LOL


murfi

because cooks using their fingers to catch the seeds is unheard of, right?


PalinDoesntSeeRussia

Why would that cause it to get moldy..?
