TikToker goes viral for trying Sprite & Gatorade after years of just water and milk TikTok: doodledoodledavey \/ Unsplash.com: Andrey Ilkevich, Wells ChanA 27-year-old man is going viral on TikTok for drinking colorful beverages for the first time in his life after years of only drinking water and milk. Water is essential for healthy living \u2014 but what if you only ever drank water your entire life? One man on TikTok says he\u2019s only ever drank water and milk and hates \u201ccolorful\u201d drinks like soda or sports hydration beverages (sorry, Prime Hydration). In fact, 27-year old Davey Jarrell claims that he used to drink apple juice when he was a kid\u2026 until he saw what color it was outside of a juice box and almost \u201cthrew up.\u201d \u201cIt dawned on me right there that any drink that isn\u2019t water is just dirty water,\u201d he said. However, one of his friends urged him to take a chance and try some popular soft drinks for a change\u2026 and his plunge into the sugary bevs is going viral. Jarrell\u2019s experiment has taken TikTok by storm, racking up over 20 million views since being uploaded to the platform last month. In the clip, filmed by his friend, he tries out an assortment of drinks \u2014 namely, blue Gatorade, Mountain Dew, orange Fanta, Dr Pepper, a blue icee, and lemonade. At first, Jarrell gave the Gatorade a 5 out of 10, seemingly unimpressed but still willing to give the drinks a try. Unfortunately, things went downhill shortly thereafter, as he couldn\u2019t bring himself to even give a score to anything past the Fanta. Click here if TikTok fails to load. Commenters instantly begged him to try out McDonald\u2019s sprite, which is somewhat of a meme on the internet for its especially tart flavor and hefty carbonation. The people asked, and Jarrell answered\u2026 and surprisingly, he appeared to like it. \u201cPowerful,\u201d he said after taking a sip. \u201cBut you know what? It doesn\u2019t taste bad. It really doesn\u2019t taste bad. I still never want it again.\u201d Click here if TikTok fails to load. However, some viewers weren\u2019t convinced that Jarrell\u2019s reactions were the real deal, but he says that he actually has a fear of drinking things other than water. \u201cFor those of you who are wondering, this is 100% genuine,\u201d he clarified in a TikTok comment. \u201cI\u2019ve had a fear of drinking anything other than water my entire life.\u201d It looks like Jarrell is sticking to what he knows and loves after taking a walk on the wild side. Who knows \u2014 maybe we\u2019ll see him try out Logan Paul and KSI\u2019s Prime Hydration next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
