So I don't know if you heard but Panda Express is turning
00:02
up the heat on one of its iconic dishes.
00:04
The fast food chain has just launched a spicy version of its
00:08
beloved orange chicken entree that is in stores now through June 23rd
00:15
Damn, I'm down,
00:17
I'm down. Well,
00:18
look all you big bags in the studio.
00:20
We were talking about it yesterday.
00:21
Remember? And my big bag drove myself to Panda Express and
00:25
I actually ordered it.
00:26
So I'll share my thoughts in the video.
00:31
Let's check it out.
00:37
We're gonna go try that hot orange chicken and see what's
00:40
Gucci. Let's taste it and find out.
00:42
Yeah, this one and the little display thing and I didn't
00:45
even right here. There's like peppers meaning it's won't be spicy
00:50
Well, maybe I better see.
00:57
Hm. It's a little spicier than the original but not by
01:04
much. Like I usually always put sriracha anyways now that it
01:07
has these peppers. So I guess like if you have one
01:10
with like a lot of chili flakes,
01:11
I more pick up it'll,
01:13
this is marketing, it's not that much spicier.
01:16
It's a little rebrand.
01:17
I see you can.
01:18
All right, I'm gonna go bye.
01:20
It needs more kick.
01:22
I feel like in general the orange chicken already kind of has
01:25
a little of a sriracha.
01:28
They put chilito in like the pepper flakes,
01:30
but it wasn't enough because if you got one,
01:31
it was kind of like,
01:33
I even my wife was like,
01:35
you know what? She was like,
01:36
we had a little kick.
01:37
I'm like you and I told her,
01:38
I thought it didn't and she was like maybe because you're more
01:40
tolerant to it. This is true.
01:42
But then Damien, I know like because it's,
01:44
it's supposed not everyone's good with spice so they don't want to
01:47
make it too, too spicy.
01:48
They should at least offer a little bit of spice if you're
01:51
gonna go hot, go hot.
01:52
And the reason I feel like it maybe also didn't like go
01:56
above and beyond. They didn't add too much kick was because
01:58
look, you know,
01:59
they upcharge for like the the premium sides or whatever entrees.
02:03
There's no charge for this one.
02:04
Got pas like oh we have chile on your app.
02:07
I was like fuck it.
02:08
Rebrand it and look,
02:09
we got hot orange chicken.
02:12
So I probably order a regular orange chicken and sriracha and all
02:15
of that. Oh yeah,
02:15
that yeah, that's all the spice you need.
02:18
There you go. Mind blowing idea.
02:20
That's what I do add sriracha to.
02:22
That's what I do to my miso soup.
02:23
That's exactly. We have anyways.
02:25
Yeah. What do you think?
02:26
Should we do this for lunch?
02:27
I mean, I'm down ii,
02:29
I kind of want to try it for myself.
02:30
Oh, yeah. I mean,
02:31
I tried it but I'll try it again with you.
02:32
Let's go. Come on.
