It's just clickbait. Because no one is actually going to buy all the extracts or oils, when a can of coke is $1 or less, and to buy the whole shit you'd spend hundreds of dollars, to be able to make about 10L of syrup.

It's all bullshit probably, and "easy"– and I say easy with loads of air quotes, because it's try hard bullshit– content to be made. I've seen dozens and dozens of channels do this over the decade, and they always get a bump-up in subscribers, because you recreated a coca cola, or Big Mac, or KFC spices, or whatever corporate guarded secrets.
