Debunking the Pink Sauce Controversy | How To Cook dinner That Ann Reardon

Rivet Squid says:

I'm not really sure what you're debunking here?
The sauce was inconsistent, stored and shipped unsafe in the middle of an intense heatwave.
Nobody believed any of the meme vines, they were just legitimately concerned about kids ordering this stuff for tiktok clout.
And those concerns were completely justified….

I can't lie, pretty disappointing video from a channel I usually dig :/
Already I see people in your comments section saying they want to order and try it now. Hopefully the chef in question, who didn't know what the fda was and tried to dispell the negative attention by pretending she got a home visit and everything was fine has actually gotten her act together and won't be sending them spoiling sauce.

For reference sake, this sauce went through several reformulations. The first couple runs of this product are not what you made.
And that just a sticker label you said is fine wasn't by our laws…

Kind of feels like you just did a cursory googling, saw the latest dated videos cashing in on all of this and decided to also cash in tbh. Guess it's not surprising given the sponsor tho.

Thank you for your objective and informative video concerning this. It is refreshing to see someone actually research and provide an assessment that isn't just click bait.

The sauce on fried chicken made me drool. That looks so good ngl

EVA says:

I don't even like the color of this sauce let alone put it in my mouth

Herkermer Homolka says:

wonderful video.

Mia Learned says:

I understand what she meant by “you’re not special.” She probably gets contacted by hundreds or maybe thousands of people. She should’ve sought out conversation with this one person? She has a business to run. She can’t address every concern out there.

Yohan says:

I don't understand why it did go viral in the first place. You just add a little bit of beetroot juice in the mayonnaise and tadaa pink sauce is ready

Mira says:

i had never heard about any of this (and as ever anytime i hear about anything happening on tiktok i'm grateful i'm not on there lol) but damn tiktokers and youtubers like the theorists really are just fully willing to say whatever the hell they want to millions of people without applying any amount of research or common sense or anything huh

personally i probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to buy a sauce some influencer was making and bottling seemingly directly out of their kitchen, it does feel a bit sketch especially with the labeling that makes it seem like they probably just created the nutrition fact numbers themselves and didn't have any kind of actual testing or expert consultation done. but for other influencers to be like "there's no POSSIBLE way a product containing oil and water as its first two ingredients could be made thick and opaque without adding mayonnaise! (i do not understand what mayonnaise/dressings/sauces fundamentally are and am proud of this fact)", or look at one single sentence about botulism and disregard half of that one sentence, it literally mentions acid right there in your google summary, and from that just completely fabricate claims about people getting sick or dying or fake their own death over this goddamn pink ranch dressing… it just leaves me completely bewildered. like, something has just gone completely, terribly, unbelievably wrong if the systems that underlie online content creation incentivize and reward this kind of deranged behavior. i really do worry about how many kids and teens are on tiktok and Influencer Youtube receiving a constant flow of completely unchecked disinformation

웃 ehehe stickman says:

lol not sure if it's true but i'm pretty sure ann reardon watched the video on my channel since I'm fairly sure it's the only way to watch it xD.

tirsden says:

If those are prototypes of the professional company sauce, it's kinda sad how not-pink it is (the hot-pink label doesn't count). I'm going to guess the color fades too fast, which means they'd have to put in artificial food coloring. 'Course, there's also a thing called Thousand Island Dressing so I'm gonna guess this sauce collab is gonna try to sell the stuff off the memes and hype, versus a long-standing product. But hey, who knows, maybe in 20 years "pink sauce" as per her mass-market recipe will be a household name right next to ketchup and mustard.

Or it'll sell about as well as Crystal Pepsi did back in the day. XD

Isu says:

WAAAIIITTT! In USA I can just make and mass produce some food and sell it without needs of approval nor tests etc?
NICE!

Dani H says:

Gracious as always Ann!

Speccy SquareGoLike says:

Man pretends to die from Pink Sauce, then turns around and says "it wasn't my intent to make your business look bad". Excuse me??

Toy Insanity says:

BLUE SAUCE is a better value, and honestly it just tastes better.

rivka says:

I think Chef P just sucks as a person. But I also think the internet went a little stupid with this.

Reviews Are Rare says:

question is whether she used the dragon fruit powder, or blended dragon fruit. also, aren't all food products supposed to be FDA approved?

Taylor K says:

Great video!

Ryuho the Wolf says:

Considering her actions throughout all of this stuff, including the lying and gaslighting and the refusal to take accountability I really wouldn't trust her with this product at all. The fact that she was actively hostile to quite a lot of people who criticized the product, regardless of how valid the criticism was, and that she pulled one of the nicer reviewers onto a show seemingly based on skin color to try to use that to gaslight her just makes me not trust her in selling a product. The proverbial well has been poisoned.
