A YouTube dating show where chemistry is tested, standards are challenged, and real connections are made on camera.
TONIC Dating is a social experiment disguised as entertainment. We put real people in real situations — speed dates, mystery lineups, dealbreaker rounds — and let chemistry do the rest. No producers whispering lines. No soft lighting to lie with. Just you, someone new, and a camera.
Inspired by the Cut and Jubilee tradition of honest, stranger-facing content, TONIC goes further: every episode format is engineered to reveal character, not curate a persona.
See how to get involved → 60 seconds per stranger. Decide if you'd go on a real date — and defend your answer in front of the group. Fast, honest, surprisingly hard.
