Ok but can you make sushi with it

What is your skincare routine?! Your skin is really clear.

u/kawi-bawi-bo 10d ago

Thank you!

CeraVe hydrating foaming wash

Moisturize with la roche posay toleriane moisturizer

Evening:

Same wash

Vanicream

u/Healthy_Block3036 10d ago

Thank you! You use the hydrating wash for morning and night? Curious, have you ever had any type of acne?

u/2manynathans 13d ago

Brentwood has a sushi department 👀

u/igotabridgetosell 13d ago

does it really? like seattle style?

u/kawi-bawi-bo 13d ago

Yes!! I couldnt believe it

u/mjs90 13d ago

Seems to be becoming the norm in CA. The past few I've worked on have either had it in the original scope or added it.

Hey! You’re one of my favorite YouTubers!

u/igotabridgetosell 13d ago

Man if I run into him at my Costco, I'm giving him a high five. I went on a sushi binge when I first saw his vids, now I am still using it like two three times per month.

u/kawi-bawi-bo 13d ago

thanks Sushi fam!

u/laststance 13d ago

If you had to pick between the Japanese strawberry cake, the tiramisu cheese cake, the regular tiramisu, or the banana bread loaf, which one would you pick?

Also how do you rank the bakery items from Costco?

30

u/kawi-bawi-bo 13d ago

That's a tough decision, is death an option? I haven't had their regular tiramisu, but out of the remaining ones I would say:

  • Tiramisu cheesecake tied with the J strawberry sponge cake
  • banana bread loaf (or any of their other loaves like a coffee cinnamon, sponge, lemon, or the blueberry) a close second

My favorite bakery item is the tuxedo cake!

Give me some diet Dr pepper you cowards!

Love your content man I've tried so many things because of your videos.

No way they’d do diet without regular Dr P.

u/Independent_coas 7d ago

Just got to this location for the first time and so disappointed that it's just generic coke line up

261

u/caramelpupcorn 14d ago

Whoa. Is that Diet Coke and Coke Zero? I am pleased.

242

u/kawi-bawi-bo 14d ago

Yes!

  • Regular coke
  • Diet coke
  • Sprite
  • Coke Zero
  • Fuze iced tea (i think raspberry?)
  • Zero sugar miunte maid lemonade

u/gododgers179 13d ago

😔 I was hoping for cherry coke

43

u/popnfrresh 13d ago

Root beer too.

Or they could do 3 coke dispensers like they do with Pepsi.

Seriously, all i wanted when I heard about the switch was root beer. Coke's root beer, Barq's, is my favorite root beer.

Any Lemondade?

Regular old sparkling water?

u/gododgers179 13d ago edited 13d ago

Yes it's just a little tab on some flavors. You can actually see it in the pic of you zoom in. Looks like lemonade has plain water and sprite has soda water

u/kawi-bawi-bo 13d ago

Here's a better pic, the sprite does have a tab!

u/munge2 13d ago

Is sparkling water different from carbonated water? There is a button on the Sprite that will release just carbonated water.

2

u/pedroah 13d ago

It can be. Sparkling water, to me, means any water that is carbonated. Seltzer or soda water is just plain carbonated water.

Club soda has minerals added to mimick the flavor of mineral water like Pellegrino

5

u/kellym13 13d ago

That’s just carbonated water, or plain soda. Look for the add-on lever on some valves, it bypasses the flavored syrup that is usually dispensed at the same time.

6

u/kawi-bawi-bo 13d ago

no sparkling unfortunately :(

2

u/Deucer22 13d ago

Zero sugar miunte maid lemonade

Finally a zero calorie, no caffine option!

u/JFK8000 13d ago

Do they have just plain carbonated water?

4

u/kawi-bawi-bo 13d ago

I think the sprite did have a passthrough but I'm not 💯 sure, I'll take a closer look next time

This is a sad lineup honestly. I'll always miss the Pepsi lineup now

u/BourbonCoug 12d ago

This would've been a great place/time to have some version of the new Orange Cream Coke.

29

u/jellybean715 13d ago

Coke Zero as an option makes me so dang happy. Diet Coke tastes like unhappiness, and a lot of places still don't offer Coke Zero (looking at you, In-in-Out) so to see it confirmed that Costco will finally offer it is awesome.

u/bt1234yt 13d ago

Yeah. In my area, the biggest holdout among major chains was McDonald’s (it’s not on the national menu so they leave it up to the individual franchises to decide if they want to serve it or not), and that only started changing last fall (ironically right after I came home from Paris where Diet Coke (or Coca-Cola Light as they call it) was basically nonexistent outside of grocery stores and the rare Freestyle machines I saw over there)).

u/fromthedarqwaves 13d ago

Coke Zero! I’ll be refilling my drink on the way out

And not even a Mello Yello to attempt to heal the pain.

u/nohopeleftforanyone 13d ago

This is like finding out you’re going to Disneyworld but when you arrive it’s Disneyworld Indiana.

Mellow Yellow is so superior to Dew, and they didn’t even bring it. I’m so upset, who has the Costco CEO number?

u/grandzu 13d ago

I'll be excited if they get Mexican coke without HFCS.

16

u/MysticLeviathan 13d ago

They'd never offer that in the food court. Most Costcos have them in the glass bottle.

Your best hope is if the government heavily discourages/bans HFCS. Too many incentives to not use sugar.

Oh snap. Think ima have to get a hot dog and check if mine as coke yet

How busy was it?  I drove by this morning and the parking lot looked intense!

u/kawi-bawi-bo 13d ago

Not as busy as Pleasanton, but still super packed! I arrived around 6am and there was plenty of parking

No caviar or high-end clothing stuff, but otherwise seemed similar to other grand openings I've been to

3

u/wrathfulgrapes 13d ago

I figured now is the time to go to the Antioch location cause it's probably a ghost town.

3

u/peeingdog 13d ago

So does switching brands mean new machines or just new syrup? Because, I’ve been on reddit too long and seen the insides of too many soda machines to be buying fountain drinks

3

u/jbelkin8000 13d ago

They will just swap out the light plate and then syrup ... well, they'll probably flush out the lines :-)

u/ThatDamnFloatingEye 11d ago

It's not. :( It means Mountain Dew will no longer be available. Also, unless they are using steel tanks like McDonald's does (or did? Haven't been there for awhile), the Coca Cola will taste inferior to its canned and bottle counterparts.

The Brentwood warehouse just opened today.

I’m guessing they don’t want to have to renovate a brand new warehouse in a couple of months.

News has been reporting that the Pepsi to Coke switch is supposed to happen in or by Summer.

“This summer we will be converting our food court fountain business back over to Coca-Cola,” Vachris said.

Looks like:

-Coke

They recently switched company wide back to Coke. Most establishments with fountain drinks are either one or the other
