  1. The ceo defintly has vanir teeth and some surgical work on his face you can blatantly see it its sad people feel ugly in their bodies I get it I have chronic dry mouth and about 7 of my teeth have fallen out and I'm in my 30's

  2. 0:22 Yeah, bullshit. My sister was unaware of this and tried some, she's 4 years sober so she absolutely felt the effects of the alcohol. Saying that no person would feel 1-3% is false.

  3. Maybe it's just me, but I've tried kombucha once, and I thought it was pretty damn gross. I'd have a hard time naming a single soft drink that's more disgusting to me.

  4. "i dont want my kids drinking something with 1% alcohol in it"
    ffs, as if any kid would drink any kombucha, let alone enough to feel any sort of effect. the whole world doesn't need to be baby safe.

  5. Oh holy regulations!??!! They’ll target alcohol ads to draw in younger people, but can’t allow even a tiny percentage to be sold without getting their $$. I appreciate that the makers are working to keep it a healthy fermented juice, rather than an alcoholic drink.πŸ‘ My grandchildren love kombucha.

  6. Me after drinking kombucha in 7th grade and finding out it’s 0.002% ABV

    β€œloooook… teacher there is like, no way I’m going to yknow remember whtt you just saidd. Can you you ljke explain it again, but slower????………’..”

  7. It startles me that people like this drink. I am an avid tea drinker and i generally love fermented foods, but i find that kombucha tastes like garbage water-like literally the juices that collect at the bottom…. I mean, to each their own if you like it- that was just my experience. I just can't believe that there's such a huge market for it. I mean so many other delicious smelly fermented foods struggle to find a market, but the thing i just cannot understand, in spite of my palette, is crazy popular? You know what im saying? I mean, power to ya and good luck…

  8. You cannot just create exceptions as you wish. If kombucha can have 1.2% alcohol and sell as a non-alcoholic beverage, then others with same ABV would also want the same. Creating any alcohol product is a natural process (i.e. fermentation), so asking an exception for one specific product among them is not how a fair market works.

  9. When they're calling a "light" beer 4.2%… You know light mostly means in carbs/calories right? A 4.2+% beer is considered a "heavy". A ~3.5% is considered a mid strength. ~2.5% is considered a light beer. I think the problem is kids being able to buy kombucha and getting pissed on it. Can you get drunk on 3% ABV? Yes, too drunk to drive.
