Huge Company Posts Recipe That Could Kill You

Summary

A creator/commentator reacts to a claim that the game company Paper Games (for Love and Deep Space) shared drink/cocktail recipes in-game content that could be fatal if replicated in real life. The video argues that while the company likely did not intend to poison anyone, the content was irresponsible because it included “secret ingredients” that are extremely poisonous and were presented in a way that could be understood as instructions to actually mix them.

Highlighted Claims

• A Reddit post and a company tweet allegedly circulated drink graphics and recipe lists, using engagement prompts like “What secret ingredient would you add?”, encouraging copying outside the game.
• The commentator points to two specific recipes that allegedly include poisonous ingredients:
  • “Fire lily” — described as toxic to humans, combined with other components such as peach juice/gelatin.
  • “Datura” — paired with other ingredients such as raspberry-pomegranate juice and cinnamon.

Why This Was Presented as Dangerous

• The speaker emphasizes that these ingredients are allegedly easy to obtain online.
• Real-life readers might not recognize the danger, especially because there was no clear warning in the original posts.
• The video contrasts this with other past “recipe” promotions (for example, Nickelodeon-style fake/fandom recipes) where the intent was entertainment—but argues this case did not include enough safety framing.

Community Response (As Described)

• Early reactions are portrayed as mixed:
  • Many commenters allegedly warned others not to recreate the drinks, citing poisoning/toxicity risks.
  • A “community note” is described as warning that the flowers are extremely poisonous and should not be used in real drinks.
• Some fans in the fandom (as described) allegedly accused critics—including people who issued warnings—of “ruining fun” or acting from misogynistic/“incel” motives (including a claim that warnings were framed as men “invading women’s space”).

The commentator rejects these defenses, maintaining that the central concern is that real people could follow the recipe and be harmed, and that warnings were appropriate.

Alleged Follow-Up by Paper Games

After backlash, the video claims Paper Games posted a safety clarification stating that the drinks are fictional and should not be attempted or consumed in real life—suggesting that the warning came later than it should have.

Overall Conclusion

The episode is framed as a serious but avoidable mistake: the company should have provided a clear safety warning from the start.
