On July 23rd, Asmongold was on Sodapoppin’s stream for the blind soda taste test. The video began with the pair describing their experience with soda and what sodas they enjoy. The streamers entertained viewers by blindly tasting sodas and adding commentary, even what some viewers might consider hot takes as one described his preference for Pepsi over Coke. However, the video took a turn into a territory that not many expected when it evolved from sugary fruit-flavored drinks to actual fruit. At the 34-minute mark of the video, Asmongold admitted to not knowing what an orange tastes like, which marked the beginning of the curious dietary habits of this popular Twitch streamer.
The list of uneaten food continued to apples, bananas, pears, lemons, and strawberries, as Sodapoppin grilled Asmongold over his lack of exposure to real fruit. Asmongold then asked if he could count a strawberry soda in reference to the taste of a strawberry, and he went on to say “one time my mom made a strawberry shortcake and I took all the strawberries off and just ate the cake.” Now knowing his specific pallet, fans are hoping for a fruit-eating contest next, which could be an opportunity for more donation-oriented activism, as the Twitch streamer raised four hundred thousand dollars for Ukraine in a single day.
The nutritional benefits of fruit are well known to be an educational staple on what to eat, and how to have a properly balanced diet. Healthy foods can fuel the body and mind for longer gaming sessions and gameplay. With this in mind, Asmongold could finally give in to trying one. Regardless, Asmongold is among the top streamers today on Twitch, so whatever diet preference commentary comes next, fans will be there to watch.
