I Ate Rare Food In EVERY Color

This video is safe for most children, offering an engaging and educational exploration of colorful foods from around the world, but parents should be aware of mild wealth flexing (expensive items like gold-leaf ice cream and $2,000 melons) and a brief moment of peer pressure to eat something disliked (Matcha). The positive aspects include promoting curiosity about diverse cuisines, teaching fun food science facts (like why cooked lobsters turn red), and encouraging trying new things in a lighthearted way.

Materialism & Wealth FlexingSome

The video repeatedly emphasizes the extreme cost and rarity of foods (saffron more expensive than gold, $1000+ melon, most expensive ice cream sundae, most expensive water, etc.), which could normalize luxury spending for young viewers.

“Saffron – the spice that's more expensive than gold.”

“Shockingly, even just one of these melons can cost thousands of dollars.”

“This is the Guinness World Record holding most expensive ice cream sundae in the world.”

“This is the most expensive water you are ever going to taste.”

Parasocial & Emotional ManipulationA little

Nick uses mild parasocial language asking for comments and subscriptions, but it is not intense or guilt-tripping.

“Help me out in the comments, please!”

“You better be subscribed!”

Engagement Baiting & Manipulative CTAsA little

“You better be subscribed!”

Low-Quality, Extreme & Stunt ContentSome

The video uses a 'tasting and ranking every color' format with rare/expensive foods, which is a stunt-driven gimmick, but it does not involve destruction or shock-value eating challenges.

“In this video I'm tasting and ranking every color of food to find out which one is the best.”

“We have got an ultra rare blue lobster.”

“This is the Guinness World Record holding most expensive ice cream sundae in the world.”

What Parents Need to Know

This video is a fun, family-friendly food challenge that ranks foods by color. It does a great job exposing kids to rare and international foods (e.g., saffron, emu eggs, star apple) and explains interesting facts (e.g., why lobsters turn red when cooked, how butterfly pea tea changes color). However, there is mild materialism when they highlight extremely expensive items (e.g., a $2,000 melon, gold-leaf ice cream) and a moment where Patrick is pressured to try Matcha even after saying he dislikes it. The content is otherwise clean with no language, violence, or sexual themes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is this video appropriate for?

The video is appropriate for children aged 5 and up. It has no language, violence, or sexual content, but younger children may be confused by the concept of expensive luxury foods and the mild peer pressure moment.

Is there any advertising or sponsored content in this video?

No, there is no hidden advertising or sponsored content. However, the hosts do show and discuss expensive brands and luxury foods (e.g., Coca-Cola, Skittles, gold-leaf ice cream) which could be seen as product placement, but it is not paid promotion.

Does the video contain any scary or inappropriate moments?

No, there are no scary or inappropriate moments. The video is lighthearted and fun, with no violence, threats, or disturbing content. The only mildly tense moment is when a century egg Dorito chip is described as disgusting, but it is handled humorously.

What educational value does this video offer?

The video teaches kids about the natural colors of food, why some foods change color when cooked (e.g., lobster turning red), and introduces rare foods from different cultures (e.g., saffron, emu eggs, star apple). It also encourages curiosity about trying new foods.

Is it a problem that the hosts show expensive items like a $2,000 melon and gold-flake ice cream?

It could be a concern for some parents, as it introduces materialism and wealth flexing. However, the hosts do not promote buying these items; they present them as rare curiosities. Parents can use this as a talk point about value and advertising.

The video shows the hosts eating raw meat (Wagyu sashimi). Is this safe to show to kids?

Yes, it is safe. The video does not encourage kids to eat raw meat; it presents it as a food choice for adults. For young children, parents might want to explain that some foods are for grown-ups, but no harmful behavior is modeled.
