Hey guys, it's Keith. Yesterday was Thanksgiving, which means today officially begins the

00:10

Christmas season. My favorite time of the year. I love the lights. I love the atmosphere. I love the music.

00:16

I love everything about it. And one of my favorite things about Christmas time is when we can go into the grocery store, go to the refrigeration section and see that magical elixir called eggnog.

00:26

And today me and my children are going to be rating five different eggnog products and telling you which one we think is the best.

00:34

Few thoughts on today's video. Number one, I was only able to get a few different types of eggnog.

00:40

So this isn't a true over the board taste test. We're just going to taste the ones I was able to get from the Publix grocery store.

00:46

Number two, we're not going to have any alcohol in our eggnog. These are Baptist kids. All right, so here's how the game is going to be played.

00:54

We have five different eggnogs which are going to correspond to five different cups. And these cups will give us a blind taste test.

01:01

Starting to my left, we have Southern Comfort brand name eggnog. The next one is a store brand.

01:08

This is Publix brand. If you're not in an area where they, where you have a Publix, I'm sorry for you. I'll pray for you.

01:13

But Publix is a great grocery store. And this is the Publix brand. The next one is Greenwise. Greenwise is an organic eggnog.

01:21

The next is Clover Valley. Clover Valley is the brand that is sold by Dollar General stores.

01:27

So Clover Valley, Dollar General eggnog. Last but not least, we have Chobani oat, oat nog.

01:34

And this one I'm really interested to see what it's going to taste like. This is not a normal eggnog.

01:40

This is a no lactose, no nuts, no gluten Chobani oat milk, oat nog. So we'll see how the kids respond to that.

02:00

All right, Faith Foskey. Here we go. We have five different eggnogs. Now, are you, do you like eggnog?

02:07

I haven't tried it before. This is your first time trying eggnog. Oh boy. Well, the five eggnog, do they look different?

02:15

Yeah. Like those look, those don't look different, but they used to, like that one's a little bit brighter.

02:23

That one's darker. That's right. Now let me ask you a question. When we're looking at the eggnog, which one do you think looks like it's going to taste the best?

02:32

You think that one's going to taste the best? Good. You like it?

02:39

You think that eggnog tastes good? Okay, well we're going to put it right back here. That's one you've tried so far. Which one do you want to try next?

02:45

Okay. You want to try the yellow one. Okay. A little more yellow one. So very quickly, uh, out of these two, which one do you like better?

02:57

You like that one better? This one's in first place. Okay. Well for now, we'll move it over here then.

03:04

If you like that one better. Okay. All right. So now which one do you want to try? All right.

03:19

So right away, we're going to now figure out what you picked. We'll go to number five.

03:24

Your number five is Publix brand eggnog was your number five.

03:29

Your number four, Dollar General brand. Your number three, Southern Comfort.

03:35

Uh, so your number two, the GreenWise organic eggnog.

03:41

Now that means your number one. Oh my goodness. The number one of Faith Foskey is

03:50

Chobani Oat Nog. This is what you want. This is the one you liked.

03:55

Very good. Faith Foskey. You did a great job. Tell everyone out there, Merry Christmas. All right.

04:07

All right, everyone. We have a new setup and a new order, but the same five eggnogs.

04:13

And now we're going to have them rated by my son, Justice. Say hi to everyone, Justice. Hi.

04:19

And also, and also I'm wearing my special Snoopy shirt. That's right. So he came ready for Christmas too.

04:25

Yes. All right, my son, which one do you want to start with? You can pick whichever one you want.

04:32

You want to go to the middle one? Okay. What is that one? Well, I'm not telling you until it's over. It's all eggnog.

04:37

They're all eggnog. So let me ask you a question. Do you like eggnog? I haven't tried it. This is your first time trying it.

04:43

So you're, you're rating eggnog and you've never had it. All right. Two hands on the cup.

04:49

Bring it up. Take a sip. I can see why people like this.

04:56

Honestly. You said you can see why people like this. You like it? Yeah, I like it.

05:01

All right. Very good. I'll put this in first place right now. Okay. So this one's in first place. Which one do you want to try next?

05:18

Number five, Clover Valley eggnog. That's the Dollar General brand. Number four, Greenwise, Southern Comfort, Chobani Oatnog, which is going to go right here.

05:30

Last but not least, what won your taste test is the Publix brand, the store brand.

05:37

That's the one that won for you. Publix brand. That's right. We like Publix, right? Yep. We wish all of you a very

05:43

Merry Christmas. And also Jingle Bears. Jingle Bears? Jingle Berries.

05:48

Jingle Berries. This is my daughter,

05:56

Hope. All right, well we're going to go through these. I'm gonna let you pick which one you want to do first. So which eggnog do you want to try first?

06:03

Which one looks the best? Maybe I can try this. You want to try this one first? Try it. Two hands. Two hands.

06:09

I mean, it's sweet. Do you like it? Yeah, I do. Okay. So you like this one? So we'll put this one over here.

06:14

Which one do you want to try next? Kind of better than this one. Okay. We'll set it in number one then.

06:20

Set it in their number one spot. Her number five is

06:35

Chobani Oatmilk, Clover Valley eggnog, Southern Comfort, Greenwise eggnog.

06:40

So this makes your number one original Publix original eggnog, which is the store -bought eggnog.

06:47

And that's the same one that JJ put as number one. So, so far that one is the winner.

06:54

Merry Christmas, everybody. I'm going to go pass out. You're going to go pass out. Well, I have to get in on the action too.

07:07

And I have a pretty good idea of what some of these might be, but I don't know for sure. So I'm going to do as best as I can to give a blind taste test.

07:15

And I'm going to start right here. All right. Tastes like eggnog. It's a little perfumey, but it's okay.

07:22

Second one I'm going to go right here. I actually liked the taste of this one better. So I'm going to put it right now ranking it as my number two choice.

07:32

I'm going to go to the middle. I'm pretty sure I know which one this one is. This one looks so different. Um, but anyway, oh, that is not eggnog.

07:43

That is not. Oh, oh, they should. I know they don't call it eggnog, but they shouldn't call that nog.

07:51

That should be against the law to call nog. All right. Next one. That was, that was decent.

07:58

I'm not sure that it's better than these two, but it's, it's, it's, it's on par. It's on par.

08:03

I'll, I'll, I'll move these. It's very thin compared to these three. It's thin, but the taste is good.

08:11

That one's super thick. That's very eggy. It's really down to texture. This one's very thin.

08:17

Here just because if you liked it, if you like a thinner eggnog, that's a good choice. These are thicker.

08:22

This one's thicker than this one. This should be, this one should be used to punish shoplifters.

08:29

Okay. So I know, I know almost for certain that this one is the Chobani. Am I right?

08:35

Yes, this is the Chobani, my number five. And I'm going to say not even number five. I'm going to say almost off the table is the

08:42

Chobani oatnog. Okay. It's awful. My number four is well,

08:50

Southern Comfort. So Southern Comfort is not doing as good today as I thought it would. The Clover Valley.

08:58

All right. So Clover Valley is kind of stayed bottom tier today. Hasn't done great in mine.

09:04

It did better than the others. But again, these could have easily went back and forth. It depends on the thickness. Depends on what you like.

09:10

Publix. And number one, I can't believe it was the GreenWise Organic, which, which is interesting because the kids didn't really like the

09:20

GreenWise Organic, but I thought it was pretty good. So my order is the oatnog, which again is torturous.

09:30

Southern Comfort is decent. Could have went back and forth with the Clover Valley. Clover Valley is surprisingly not bad, but thin it's not very thick.

09:38

Publix brand has done really well today. It's scored the top spot on a couple of our lists.

09:43

And for me it was the second spot. So Publix is bringing it strong. Publix is good grocery store. They always do a good job.

09:49

But for me, it was the GreenWise. Tasted great and all across the board. I'm going to be drinking all of these, except for the oatnog.

09:55

I'm going to be pouring that down the drain. Well guys, I hope you enjoyed that video. I have a lot of other plans for the
