TRANSCRIPT
There's a lot of fake blood out there and it can taste kind of gross and run kind of expensive. A really cheap, quick, and easy way, that also tastes good, to make fake blood is to mix chocolate syrup with strawberry syrup. Everybody likes their blood differently so get it to the right color consistency that you like. You can put this in a zip lock bag and take it with you or, if you really want to get creative, you can buy your own gel caps, use a straw to fill them with the fake blood and then you have your own homemade blood capsules that actually taste good.
