Best Cereal Ever

What do you think is the best cereal ever? I'm Trent from Fort Worth, Texas. Let's talk about that! ♪ (theme music) ♪. - Good Mythical Morning. - Today's episode is brought to you by. the RhettandLinkommunity. If you're a Mythical Beast-- that means a fan of this. guy and this guy-- you can go become a member of the RhettandLinkommunity. Upload your mythical beast creations. Rock the world. (chuckles).

(Link) Rock the world one mythical creation at a time. Is that the official motto? No, it's not. The official motto is "I am a mythical. beast," but you can say "Rock the world" if it's 1994, because it could be. It could be. Every week we ask, "What's the best blank ever?" Last week we asked, "What is the best facial hair configuration ever?". (speaking over a drumroll) We have tabulated the results in the comments and. your video responses and the best facial hair configuration ever is...

- ♪ (celebratory music) ♪ - The Normal Beard, man. (silly voice) Normal Beard, man. Normal Beard, man. That's right. You know who's got a normal beard, Link? (normally) You, Rhett. You do. Is that validating to you, that the... I'm just saying that the internet thinks that I have the best facial hair ever. - I mean, it's one way to look at it. - Well, they think that the best facial. hair ever is a beard, and you just happen to have it. It's coincidental. Yeah. I have the best facial hair ever, and you can hear that two ways.

- Okay. - What is the best cereal ever? Yeah, let's just move on. Now we're getting down to brass tacks, people. - Or cereal. - I am in love with cereal. Now, you know, you go down the cereal aisle and it's like going on an amusement park ride with. all these mascots and characters jumping out at you saying, "Oh, try me! I have. marshmallows! I'm colorful! There's a little prize in mine! Oh, gee, you gotta. - take a look!" - Is this, like, a grocery store employee.

that says that? It's like a tour guide down the cereal aisle? No, I'm saying it's the boxes themselves speaking to me, saying... - Oh. But that would be a good idea... - "Try me!". Like, Cereal Aisle Guy. I would do that. I would totally do that as opposed to. - internetainment. - Well, there are so many cereals that you. almost would need a guide. So I guess we are gonna serve as the guides. We are. gonna go through some cereals that you could vote for in the comments and say, "Blank is the best cereal ever." You should fill in the blank with a cereal. Yeah. There's so many of 'em, we're gonna try some of 'em. We're gonna partake of.

some of 'em. We're gonna make our little argument for what we think is the best. cereal ever, but we won't cover 'em all. We probably won't cover your favorite. - cereal, so... let's just get started. - I think odds are we could. Make sure you leave a video response for your argument for your best cereal ever. And we're not focusing on a lot of the healthy cereals. My wife is probably gonna. - be upset with me. - If you wanna vote for Grape Nuts, you. - can vote for Grape Nuts. - We're talking about the ones with, you. know, the colorful boxes and all the sugar that makes the kids jump off the walls,

- like Fruit Loops. - And Frosted Flakes. Well, Frosted Flakes. doesn't really have colors, but it does have frosting. You know, it's just like... Do the different Loops taste different? Gimme-- lemme do a blind taste test. I've always wondered this. Gimme two different colors back to back. - Okay, here's one color. Open your mouth. - Just put it in my hand because I don't. want you to touch my mouth with your hand. Yeah, that's true. I don't want to either. Okay, and then here's another color.

Two different colors. Do they taste the same? My palate can differentiate none between those. A Fruit Loop is a Fruit Loop. - What colors were those? - You're kiddin' me. All right, lemme. - give you a third one to make sure. - You got your hand on blue, I see it. Well, okay, I got another one. (laughs) Eat it! - Don't touch my mouth, man. Lemme do it. - I didn't touch your mouth, the. Fruit Loop touched your mouth. - Aw, yeah. It tastes like a Fruit Loop. - Seriously, you're saying that the color.

- is just a hoax? - Yeah, the colors are just there for fun. - and kicks, you know? - If you wanna vote for a hoax, people, you can vote for Fruit Loops. If you wanna vote for truth in advertising, you can. vote for Frosted Flakes. I mean, it says it right there on the front of it. It's frosted! You know, I'm not gonna lie to you and say... or make you believe. there's no sugar! We're just coated in sugar! Flakes of sugar! - Another "loop" cereal is Apple Jacks. - Now, I'm wondering if Apple Jacks are. just the same thing as Fruit Loops but less colors.

Okay, I'm gonna take one green Apple Jack and one green Fruit Loop and I'm--. - Lemme taste these. - Yeah, yeah. But I'm gonna tell you... - You close your eyes. - Oh, okay. I'm not gonna touch you. You want me to put it in your mouth? - No, put it in my hand. - I'll just set it right on your tongue if. you want me to. Okay, this is one of 'em. I made no contact with the actual tongue, I just... Okay, you know which one that is? - Yeah, I do. - Okay, and this is the other one. Why are we doing this? The second one was a Fruit Loop, the first one was an Apple Jack. Can I open my eyes.

or do I need to do the rest of it with my eyes closed? Wow, you could be a cereal taster for a living. Well, Apple Jacks-- I would have told you this before I tasted it-- have a cinnamon. quality. So that gets some points, you know? Well, there's actually little red dots on it. That must be the cinnamon. Now, what is that right there? Is that Cinnamon Toast Crunch? No, this is a Golden Graham. This is a Golden Graham, which is distinctly. - different than Cinnamon Toast Crunch. - Okay. But they both look like a little graham cracker. So a Golden Graham is basically a lame Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Golden Grahams. - don't even have a mascot on the box! - They have great commercials, though. Golden Grahams is good! Taste that! It tastes like a graham cracker! I'm gonna.

- eat the whole thing! - I'd much rather have Cinnamon Toast. - than a graham cracker. - Taste that, though. Don't deny me that. - that's a good... - I won't deny you that "that's a good.". (bad Italian accent) Don't deny me that's-a-good! I already know what my vote is, and we'll get to it shortly, but listen. Here's one. potential criteria with which to judge the best cereal ever. When you're done eating. it, what does the milk look and taste like? How is the milk rendered when you've.

eaten all the cereal? That could be a good criteria, because Cocoa Puffs, let me. - tell ya... - They make chocolate milk. Any cereal that makes chocolate milk is pretty awesome. It gets points. Now, you've got Cocoa Puffs and you've got Cocoa Krispies. - And you've got Count Chocula. - Now, Cocoa Krispies, is that Rice. - Krispies that are just cocoa-flavored? - Right, yeah. Lucky Charms are also in here with the Cocoa Krispies so I'll... Cocoa Puffs...

- so I'll talk about those. - Okay. My kids, they just eat the marshmallows. And I think that's what every kid does, right? So it's very wasteful. It encourages wasting-ness. Well, if you take-- if you think about Lucky Charms, if you eat the non-Lucky. Charm part, the unlucky part, just the regular old grainy cereal... - Yeah? - It's just kind of a flavorless Cheerio. Well, I think it's actually like Alpha-bits. You remember Alpha-bits?

It had the whole alphabet and you could spell it in your bowl? - These are pretty good, though. - Yeah, it is. I don't like marshmallows. so I'm not really voting for those. And they have the leprechaun, so Lucky Charms. -gets a lot of votes, I'm sure. - A very popular, very sweet cereal, Trix. Trix, the only cereal that, in the slogan, is who it's for. Trix are for kids, you. - silly rabbit. Right? - Yeah. - Trix are for kids. - So you're saying that you didn't know. they were for kids, but because there's a slogan, you think you might vote for it?

No, I'm just saying that they embrace it so much that it's their slogan. So these. - are made for kids to eat, not for adults. - It's like eating a mixed-up rainbow. - Now, these taste fruity. - Very sweet. Very overly sweet and very. - fruity. - I don't-- whoops. I don't like anything. - fruity. - You know, I don't think your mascot for. your cereal should be a rabbit when you have little rounded cereal. Yeah. I know what you're gettin' at. Turds. But at least a rabbit is not the mascot... - For Cocoa Puffs. - for Cocoa Puffs.

- (both laugh) - That would be a problem. The mascot is a bird, you know? Birds don't make... Birds make blue and white poop, so they can be the mascot for brown. - poopish-looking cereal. - And we got a couple other ones we're. not gonna try, but everybody knows about Rice Krispies. Snap, Crackle, and Pop. They have three mascots, little elves. Very popular cereal. And it does make a noise. I mean, that's marketable. - Honeycombs. Also good commercials. - And I will say that my favorite... bam! I brought this from my house and I'm not gonna let you eat more than one because.

they're mine! Frosted Mini-Wheats. No lie, I had these for breakfast this morning. and I had 'em for dinner last night. I could eat these every day for the rest. of my life, at least one of the three meals each day that I eat. And I wouldn't. - complain to anybody. - That says a lot about you. They're like the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of cereal. You know? It's like, ooh, I'm. healthy. Ooh, I'm here for the party. (laughs). - I kinda like that. - And I always eat 'em frosting-side down. - so I really get a full... - Do you put it right on your tongue?

- the full gusto, yeah. - Do you make sure they're all. situated in your milk in the right direction? Are you one of those guys? When I pick 'em up in my spoon, I put 'em frosting-side down. Okay. To each his own. I'm gonna say that my favorite cereal is the classic. - Honey Nut Cheerios. - That's respectable. You know, Cheerios are okay... you add the Honey Nut and they become irresistible. You can make a necklace out of these, you can give 'em to children... you can make. arts and crafts out of 'em. It has a bee mascot, which is consistent with the Honey.

- Nut that's in 'em. - And they're for adults and children. - They cross over. - And they have this campaign here, "Can help lower cholesterol," that you see in all the commercials, so they're. - actually good for you. - Okay, just rounding out the list before. we spin the wheel. Vote in the comments for your favorite cereal to make it. potentially the Best Cereal Ever. Some other ones to consider: Cap'n Crunch. Hmm. Chex. Corn Flakes, ehn. Golden Grahams, we said those. Fruity Pebbles.

Raisin Bran. Special K. What does the K stand for? Hm. That's always been a question of mine. Wheaties, Trix, and Kix. We said Trix. I think Kix is just a little less than Trix. We had Wheaties but they don't put people on 'em anymore. They put Nascars on 'em. What's up with that? That's not a person, that's a vehicle. (Link) Let's spin the wheel and shut down this show.

Make your argument, people. Let your voice be heard. (Link) Here we goooooooooo... - Alternating words. - Okay, this is a good idea. All right, so you say a word, I say a word, and we're gonna make a complete thought that is. gonna be the ending of this episode of Good Mythical Morning! I'll start. We. just. had.

to. tell. a. story. but. if. squirrels. kill... ... (quietly) I'm totally drawing a blank. (quietly) Just come up with a word. (normally) If squirrels kill... squirrels. that... - You're slow at this. - Squirrels? I'm just joking. That...

- (in unison) won't... - be. the. acceptable. - thing - for. - us - to. - do - at. this. point. So, sayonara. period. Squirrels. [Captioned by Caitrin: GMM Captioning Team].
