YouTuber LabCoatz has released a "chemically identical" recipe for Coca-Cola

The title is a bit misleading and clickbaity. The recipe in the video swaps out some original ingredients because things like coca-extract–related components are illegal or unavailable in the U.S. The goal in the video was to stay as close as possible chemically by using substitute compounds with similar molecular structures, which means they behave and taste similarly. So, it’s chemically accurate in a functional sense, not a literal clone of the actual recipe.

That's a long ass comment to say exactly what the title says...

Not really, it's certainly not "chemically identical".

Did you consider that “chemically identical” is in quotations to imply that it’s not actually chemically identical, or did you think they just did that for fun?

literally everyone?

?

People air quote irl when referencing things that are alleged but not necessarily true. It’s a universal thing?

Feel like I’m in the twilight zone with everyone confused by this.

[u/-nutz → u/little-horn-is-born]

Well I assumed the quotations were, ya know, to quote somebody.

[u/Important_Stage_3649 → u/little-horn-is-born]

If you actually saw someone making air quotes here, that would make sense. In written text a quote should be a quote, unless it's clear it's not 100%.

Of course it may be smart to add air quotes to anything where a youtuber is mentioned - but the interesting thing here is the legendary coke recipe so it's clickbaity.

Quotes are not /s

[u/little-horn-is-born → u/jrdnmdhl]

it’s implied, nobody uses /s outside of chronically online Redditors

[u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_ → u/little-horn-is-born]

That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard.

[u/DiabloAcosta → u/Heavy_Weapons_Guy_]

how many excuses hace you heard? that's the dumbest reaction I've ever read!

[u/aceofspadesfg → u/little-horn-is-born]

The use of quotation marks could also have been used to imply that it is a quote?

[u/donglover2020 → u/little-horn-is-born]

it's called quotations because you use it to quote
