 A video showing a restaurant making orange juice out of mop sink water and China is going viral right now Oh, it's turning a lot of stomachs and it's just a really bad luck But we got to talk about it man You know when I started Tianyeh restaurants in Wanzhou as a Wanzhou man You know, I always wanted it to go viral all across China and maybe even the globe one day Well, this is not how I wanted it to play out. Just run the clip And there's some debate about whether this clip is that bad is it that good? It's definitely bad, but I guess the question is how bad So here's the thing they're using tap water not the dirty mop water But they're using the tap water that's also used to clean the mops from the mop sink So it's tap water. It's tap water, but tap water in China is not something that you're usually supposed to drink Okay, it's not great. That's why there's a lot of known foo Water bottles everywhere, you know, and then also He's filling it up with water. That's right next to the dirty mops and pans that they sweep stuff with so it looks ridiculous I'm not saying he's pouring the dirt into the orange juice, obviously But I'm just saying it's close to it and by general hygienic standards. That is absolutely wrong Now this is something that I would expect to see maybe from a roadside stall You know a super small mom and pop right you're talking about second third fourth to your city Like there's a pretty big variance in China. There is people using tap water. It is what it is You know, they're not supposed to but people are poor But at a mall, this is a terrible look, right? You're saying that these people did not sign up for this What do you think about him being mad that it was powdered orange juice too? Because apparently this Tianye restaurant chain in one's always known for giving out Free orange juice to the kids and the teenagers. Yeah, if it's free, I can imagine that it's powdered It's definitely not going to be fresh squeezed from oranges Yeah, we can't afford the There's a lot of powder drinks out there. So I'm not really mad at that but definitely the hygiene aspect Is a bad look so make sure you know more Right, make sure you like subscribe turn on your notifications And or do you think that this guy was probably from a higher class? Obviously than the the probably let's be honest like the villagers working in the thing They don't have any food education. They're trying to go around shortcuts I don't know Tianye restaurant needs to show me The regular slower water filtration device that they were like going around though to build more consumer confidence I mean, I don't fully only blame it on the employees I think the employees just are working a job and they're probably told to do that because it's free orange juice So just fill it up with the tap water, you know um, I could imagine That obviously American restaurants use tap water for things too, but the tap water in America Generally minus a few cities Is drinkable right for the most part, you know outside of flint. Yeah, I'll fly outside of flint certain cities in georgia Like you were the south There's bad tap water in america by the way Yeah, I mean, how much does this fit on a more macro level because obviously this went viral in one zone Viral nationally in china, but it also made it over to the west because it fits in for different reasons But I guess even in china internally people are just like, oh man, we finally came up You know, I have a nice phone. I have a nice car ev neo But then man my kid is drinking like this terrible tap water and then it obviously goes along with what these global Suspect questions about chinese hygiene standards when it comes to food right or even I guess chinese quality of things, right? I will say this I think that let's say if you think about how many restaurants there are in china like there's might be I don't know a million restaurants in china If not probably more if not more right, so i'm saying Let's say 95 of those restaurants are generally okay Like they're meeting the minimum standard of hygiene, but five percent or not Let's just say it's five percent. You can argue if it's eight percent if it's two percent whatever let's say it's five percent Five percent might be either five percent. Maybe it's more than five percent, but five percent of a million is a lot So there is still so it's just because there's so many more people in so many more restaurants Then we see there is more restaurants doing wrong things and there's more restaurants doing right things But we're going to see the wrong things Right, right, right for sure. I mean, I definitely think it is below first world standards Whether that's you know a japan america scandinavia type standards for sure But like you said it might be sort of a Like a selective not a selective bias, but as far as what goes viral It's almost like let's say for example and let's just take a look at chinese e-v brands electrical vehicles Right, let's say there's a hundred chinese e-v brands in mainland china right now. Let's just say 60 are whack 30 are Middle tier like drivable, but maybe not comparable to like a western brand or something like that And then five or ten are competitive competitive with the tesla's bmw's hundais Toyota's You know i'm saying so are you going to focus on the five like the neos and the the few ones that are really good Byd or you're going to focus on the 60 that are just man. These are like subpar below the first world It depends on who you are if you're really into electric vehicles You're going to focus on the good brands and be like oh man China's making some great electric vehicles and then if you don't care about electric vehicles You're going to be like ah china's electric vehicles all suck Then is it based off the bulk distribution though because let's just say for example There's 60 bad brands of e-v's 60 is more than the five good ones. Yeah, it's true. Yeah Anyway, let's get into the comments section andrew in china somebody said this is vicious and disgusting It deserves fierce condemnation The fact that the cost of committing the crime is low and the punishments are too light Is the reasons for the myriad of food safety scandals that plague mainland china andrew How is how true is this like all right? What do you think this the root of bad hygiene in china? I feel like a lot of it is generally cost And it's short cutting short cutting for cost. Yeah, that's why most people would cheat if If if if it didn't cost so much more to make things super clean Then everybody would just do it. I think there was a gigantic wealth gap and standards gap between the people eating At a tianya restaurant in a mall and the people who work there the people who work there may be from like a far out place And if you guys know about china it's almost like The the gap between the rural countryside and the city people is way bigger than anything like a westerner can imagine In terms of the knowledge gap the standard gap realistically, right? I also think that hygiene is one of the biggest differentiators of class in america Maybe like how teeth is in america or something, you know, it's kind of like a luxury thing, right? Yeah Somebody said, uh, yeah, man, it's crazy because chinese people they might drink this all day long unknowingly or unknowingly Then they'll get scared by japanese seafood That's kind of funny. Um Andrew, what is how much does it have to do with just the tap water? Not being good there because some americans saw this video and they thought it was it didn't look that bad uh Yeah, it's because the tap water is not Not drinkable. So that's the bad part But yeah, I guess like I said, like I think there's restaurants in america They use tap water for lots of things to be honest But the tap water in america on average is way better But they probably still should not be allowed to use it out of the mop bucket. There should probably be like another Oh the mop sink. Yeah, not the mop. I mean it should come from a different source of water I think it was a horrible look that all the mops and the pans are hung up right next to it Oh man, that looks so bad. Um, somebody said I would be willing to bet that most things in china would be considered appalling to the more advanced countries around the world That's why i'm afraid of even chinese restaurants in the u.s Plus i'm not sure if the meats are real meats. Somebody said you guys, please google gutter oil Dude in america, dude, it's harder to find fake meat in america than it is real meat meat is so plentiful In america cheap too, and it's good. Yeah, like The meat quality is way better here like on average at the baseline So no, I don't think chinese any chinese restaurants in america are using fake meat, but definitely in china Yeah, I mean it's definitely unfortunate like we said, you know different economics man There's a huge variance in standard between a first tier city a tier zero city You know what i mean tier two tier three like whether people are doing this in the urinals Are they making congee with food scraps like especially if you go to the more like inland places away from the coast It's really possible. I mean but this happened on the coast Yeah, here's my thing is like let's say something were to Something bad were to happen out of starbucks in america and like the customer that the barista like spits in a coffee And then stirs it in it's like that would go super viral And to an outsider from america you'd be like, oh my gosh, that's just like that's happening at starbucks But that's not really indicative of starbucks overall You know i'm saying but i guess the only reason is it kind of calls in question tanyi this restaurant And it's free orange juice across the board now because what if other locations were also using the same tap water Are they going to go under screwing name now? Maybe they can't give free orange juice anymore Oh my gosh, the whole the orange juice industrial complex is being questioned now Somebody said it's for the added flavor. Duh, they're just making tang It's the recipe for tang and someone said yeah, but the us doesn't have all that super fast 5g and high speed trains, right This is kind of a funny argument, right because sometimes it's funny for this video to go to this level, right? It's because china is like a country full of like oxymorons, man, you'll have high speed trains extreme technology Surveillance cameras drones you have all this super high tech stuff and then You have some people in some far off places using gutter oil for food There's some people that are like using just this sink water for orange juice and it's like It's a place of it's almost like a lady and i'm just to take it out of the negative zone There's a lady using a xiaomi Fold three or a vivo fold two Folding phone to take your wechat payment as she sells you like a sweet potato off an oil drum That she roasted it in or something like that. I'm just saying like it could be That like uh steampunk almost china is a very interesting country. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway guys, um, let's just get into our takeaways I'm sure we could go back and forth about this for all time. I'm pro scrutiny, man I like that this rich ones. Oh dude Went and fought for everybody's rights and he busted out the power. He busted out the bin He was exposing him 10 You a 10 ye restaurants In a 10 ye like you know what I mean like he was being a consumer advocate No, man. He was definitely uh, he was out on a mission and I think that These type public shaming is good. I think that 10 ye's got to rethink things I think it's a sense of message to all like big restaurant chains in china. Let's be honest, man It's true like mr. Beast burger even in america had some really bad mess ups too Like and and so what we're just what i'm trying to say is that when you have a big chain And you have a one brand ruling over a thousand locations. There's no way each location is going to be at the same quality Yeah below 10 out of 10, right? It's really impossible Pan express is not a plug, but that's a family-owned business. So their quality is generally on par But when you have franchises in different cities with different workers and some workers don't care Or some managers don't care or some managers are shortcutting because they're responsible for that store's profits Things get ugly man, but it's but it's an ugly process even for like people who are just chinese americans Right because if this video goes viral then people are not proud to be chinese or they're just focusing on the net You know what I mean? Because there's a lot of bad stuff that comes out of there So it's like what i'm saying is like It's just an ugly process, but I think this self scrutiny and this like citizen policing other citizens It's necessary. It is what it is. It's a developing country. It's still behind on its timeline So it's just gonna be ugly as it like tries to come up in this social media age I guess what i'm saying. There's gonna be a lot of bad stuff that comes out Hey, by the way, this powder orange juice is actually a product you can buy for like 19 kwai Like this pack of powdered orange juice, right? You know, it's funny in america They wouldn't sell powdered orange juice even if some orange juices will actually tang as powdered orange juice I guess this is essentially tang Interesting um like we said guys china is a really big country a lot of good stuff coming out a lot of Medium 50 50 stuff and a lot of bad stuff, but it just depends on I guess the distribution ratios What makes it to the west and what you consume? So anyway guys, let us know what you think of this orange juice incident at tandy restaurants in the comment section below Keep it civil until next time we to hop out boys. We out. Peace
