Blind Taste Test (Marathon)
It's a Blind Taste Test Marathon. Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Marathon. As you can see, we can, also. Because, we're not blindfolded right now. But we are the self-proclaimed world's foremost experts. in eating foods while blindfolded since we've done more than. 50 Blind Taste Tests over the years. 50, huh?
50! Today, we're gonna go back through the GMM vault. and watch 6 of our favorites with you. unblindfolded. So that we can see the videos. Yes, and if you are currently wearing a blindfold, please remove it. All right, we are starting this off by thinking. inside the bun. This is the Blind Fast Food Burger Challenge. from October 20, 2014. Today we determine which one of us is the expert burger taster. Let's talk about that.
♪ (theme music) ♪. - Good Mythical Morning! - We eat a lot of burgers together. - We do. - (emphasizing) A lot of burgers together, - and we were talking the other day. - But we eat different burgers. We don't eat the same burger at the same time. - Right. - We've never even thought of that. - Nope. - (both laugh). But the thing that we were talking about the other day is, we think we've eaten so many fast-food burgers that--.
- We're experts. - --we know what burger tastes like what, and we think that we can blindfolded. I could tell you if that was a McDonald's. cheeseburger or a Burger King cheeseburger or whatever. - It seems like-- - Especially if I was in the restaurant. --It seems-- well that would kind of be a giveaway-- but we thought, well, let's put this to the test. If we think that we're really good at. tasting burgers. Let's find out who is the better burger taster. - Me. - So, what we're going to do is, - we're playing Guess That Burger. - ♪ (dramatic music) ♪. Okay, so this is what we have devised. We have five burgers from five common.
fast food chains: McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Carl's Jr. / Hardee's, depending on your neck of the woods, and local favorite, In-N-Out. So, the first five rounds are worth one point apiece, blindfolded, using the Pizza Plank, well the Burger Plank. - (Rhett) Burger Plank! - We have to taste and identify. which burger it came from, - which restaurant it came from. - And then the next-- Right. It's just guessing the burger, but then the next two rounds after that, (in unison) six and seven, they're going to combine--. The crew is combining two elements from two different burgers,
and we have to tell you where the bread is from and where the meat is from. - of those two. - Frankenburgers! Right, and so that's two points for each one of those rounds, and then the final round, they're combining three elements from three different burgers. Three points up for grabs, and you have to get all--. If you get all three right, you get three points, you get one thing right, you get one point. - So. - Okay. And whoever gets the most points. - is crowned King Burger. - Yes. - And we actually have a crown. - Yes we do. I see it right there. - It's on my side. - We got out blindfolds. - so let's get started with-- - Here we go.
And we are just going to guess after the count of three, two, one at the end of. - each round. - Okay. We will not be told whether or not we are right or wrong until. - the end of five rounds. - I am blindfolded, are you? (yelling) Let's taste that burger! (Rhett) Round one! ♪ (triumphant music) ♪. (eating noises) Been out for a while, huh? Kinda cold! Pretty confident. Pretty confident!
I've been to this place a few times! (chuckles) Maybe a few times more than a. - many bit of a time. - Is it really close to your house? I don't know. Is it really close to your house? - Why are you asking me that question? - None of them are really close to. - my house. - Okay. All right. I wish I wouldn't have swallowed it because I could still be tasting it. (Stevie) Three, two, one. - (in unison) Burger King! - (both laughing) - Yeah! - We're both right or we're both wrong! - We know our burgers, buddy! - Yeah! - We're both-- Oh. - Sorry. - That's my face. - I felt a five coming, I'm sorry. - Fives should be up here.
- Okay - Up here, this is five region. - right here. (makes clapping sound) - Yeah. - (Rhett) Round two! - ♪ (triumphant music) ♪. Okay. That's a big one. (chuckles). Oh yeah! - There's a lot of pickle happening. - I thought I knew. - A little. - You got-- There's a lot of bread! A lot of bread, a lot of pickle happening. - Okay. - (Link) All right. - Pretty certain about this one. - I don't usually know of a burger that's. - really pickle heavy, so. - (mocking Link) I don't usually know of a.
- burger that's pickle heavy. - (giggles) I got this, though. (Stevie) Answer in three, two, one. - Hardee's! - McDonald's! You're kidding me. You think that's McDonald's? - It was all bread! - Didn't you feel the bun, dude? - It was all bread! - Carl's Jr. all the way. - (Rhett) Round three! - ♪ (triumphant music) ♪. - I'm so confused. - What is this?
There's a lot of burger in the mouth. Where it came from I know not. You sure that was a burger? I've lost all confidence. I knew I was going to be good at this, - but I know I'm bad now. - They put a burger in my mouth, I tasted it, and I know what it is, and you don't. (laughs). - Okay. - All right, here we go. (Stevie) Answer in three, two, one. - Hardee's! - McDonald's! - (laughs) - That's McDonald's.
- (yelling in surprise) What?! - (Link) It is! - What?! - It's a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, dude. - (Rhett) Round four. - ♪ (triumphant music) ♪. (Link) Oh, a small one. Mm. My brain's just been thrown for a loop. - Oh wow. Man. I feel like an idiot. - I'm afraid to say anything. (laughs). - (laughs) - We both gonna have to say an answer. - Oh man! - All right, I'm ready. - Okay. - (Stevie) In three, two, one. (both) McDonald's! - That was McDonald's. - Yeah. easy, man.
(Rhett) Round 5! I haven't guessed Wendy's or In-N-Out yet. - What? There's a cucumber on this one. - (laughs). I know the comments are gonna be like, "Ew those chewing noises are driving me crazy!". What is that? That is not from any place, y'all made that! - That's not from a place! - I got this. (Stevie) Ready? Answers in three, two, one.
- Hardee's! - Wendy's! (shouting) Boom! Yeah! Pulling away! Burger master! - I'm taking my blindfold off. - I've already taken it off. - So, how much am I winning by? - (Stevie) The score is Rhett: 1, Link: 2. - (laughs) - What? (laughs) We suck! What?! We're horrible! The only thing I got right was McDonald's. - I got McDonald's right. - I got that one and one more right. How can you think that you're so smart about burgers and be so dumb about them? - That is the question of the hour. - Well I've never-- In fairness, one: I've never.
eaten one that cold. Two: I've never eaten one off of a paint stick. And three: I've never gone into a fast food restaurant blindfolded. - Yep. - You know, can you blame me? - So-- - But I'm still going to win. So Link has two right and I have one right. We thought we were gonna get all those right. and the Frankenburgers were gonna be a little bit of difficulty. - (laughing) We, we, we-- - We're really out of our depth. We were so confident at the beginning, like, - "Maan, this place, is this next to your house?" - (silly voice) Hey!
- "Yeah, Burger King!" - (silly voice) Yeah, we know what's up! Why did we both think it was Burger King? (silly voice) 'Cause we eat a lot of burgers, man. (silly voice) We know all of the burgers. (silly voice) Yo, any burger you wanna bring me, - (silly voice) and blindfold me, - Why you making the burger mouth, man? - (laughing) Burger Mouth? - (silly voice) Yeah! (laughing). Burger Mouth has no teeth. (silly voice) Yo, Burger Mouth in da house! - (laughing) - (silly voice) Burger Mouth here to eat some burgers! Ah, Burger Mouth is up 2 to 1, I gotta hand him that. - (silly voice) Burger Mouth is in da house. - But are you King Burger? I don't know. So we're moving on to Round 6,
which is a combination of two different things. We're twice as likely to be wrong, is basically what is happening here. (silly voice) All right, let's bring the blindfolds down! - (coughing) - So this is the inside of one burger. and the outside of another burger? Don't tell him anything. Well, that would be like an official rule. I think I get that much. Here we go. (Morgan) Frankenburger! (organ music, electricity and thunder noises). (eating noises).
(mouth full) I don't need that much bread. I'll throw that aside. (crew laughs). (mouth full) That's a lot of bread. Imma hold that piece. I'm completely in the dark. All right, let's go. (Stevie) Bread answer in three, two, one. - (Rhett) McDonald's. - (Link) In-N-Out. Really? I'm just guessing now. (Stevie) And innards answer in three, two, one. - (Rhett) Hardee's. - (Link) McDonald's. Yep. Mmhmm. That bread is some In-N-Out bread.
(Morgan) Frankenburger! (organ music, electricity and thunder noises). (crew laughs). That bread got hard! It tastes exactly the same as the last round. My burger's twice as big. I don't know if you noticed that. Who makes big burgers though? This is a much better tasting burger. - (Stevie) Okay? - Hold on.
Um, wow, where is that bread from? - Okay, I know what I'm gonna say. - Okay. And I'm definitely gonna be wrong on one of 'em. (Stevie) Okay, bread answer in three, two one. (in unison) Wendy's. Oh, we agree! We're both equally stupid. Check this out, what I'm gonna do on the next part though. Okay. (Stevie) Innards answer in three, two one. - (Rhett) Wendy's. - (Link) Hardee's. - (laughing) - What? I double-Wendy'd. You're hedging your bets here. - I did the old "Double Wendy." - Okay. Should we find out where we are right now for the last one?
Yeah, let's find out where we're at going into round three. Okay. Round last. (Stevie) Okay, the score is now Rhett: 2, Link: 4. Oh! So you have to get all three of the final ones right, and I have to get none right in order to win. Yeah. So... so let me prepare my King Burger acceptance speech. (Morgan) Frankenburger! (organ music, electricity and thunder noises).
(eating and surprised noises). I got a little of the "special" on my lip. (crew laughs). All right, I'm taking it apart in my mouth. There's a little patty. A little "special" happening on my left cheek. (laughing). I'm not getting a lot of special. I think I got two of the ingredients. But I gotta get all three to get right.
(Stevie) Ready? All right, bread first. (Stevie) Okay, here we got bread in three, two, one. - (Rhett) McDonald's. - (Link) Hardee's. I don't know, I'm just... bread. Hardee's bread. And then the burger was kind of big. (Stevie) Meat in three, two, one. - (Rhett) Burger King. - (Link) Hardee's. I'm hedging my bets here. I didn't guess Burger King for--. (Stevie) And special in three, two, one.
- (Rhett) In-N-Out. - (Link) McDonald's mustard. McDonald's mustard. I thought it was special sauce from In-N-Out, I thought the burger was a Whopper, and I thought the bread was I can't tell what it is. All right, so. (Stevie) Okay, and the final score is Rhett with 3, Link with 5. (victory noise) Ho! You suck a little bit less than me. Yeah. (Rhett laughing). All right, kick in the celebratory music. ♪ (celebratory music) ♪. And here, I'll let you crown me. I'll take it. I got it honest. What? (Rhett laughing).
Come on, man. You let the loser crown you, he's gonna crown you upside down, sucka! - We got-- - In Good Mythical More we'll discuss. exactly who was right and wrong in what area. Well, we had some licensing issues with the crown. so we had go with "King Burger.". (Rhett laughing) But I will gladly take that. Thanks for liking and commenting on this video. Feel free to do this on your own time. and discover that your burger should be warm. You know what time it is. You did it. - King Burger. - King Burger. You still got your crown?
Yes, of course. I wear it whenever I go to any of the burger places. And I, do I know how many? If we redid that. Well, I mean, we were so confident in the beginning. Well, we learned that it's much harder. than we thought that it was. We would not go in with the confidence that we went in with. We know better now. And also now we typically rank them, because, hey, it's more interesting. to both taste and rank. To add a little facet. Anyway, are they any good? The show's gotten better, guys.
Don't say it like that, like you're trying to. Like you're being defensive. All right, let's wash down these burgers with something. preferably with an artificial udder. Okay, well, Link, you're in luck, because this is the Blind Nut Milk Taste Test. from September 26th, 2017. - Got nut milk? - Let's talk about that. (playful theme music). - Good Mythical Morning.
- A wise man once said, you can milk anything with nipples. - Last time I checked, nuts don't have nips, but that's not gonna stop us today. A lot of people go nuts for nuts, especially health nuts, because it's all the rage, 'cause it's a healthy thing. is what I understand. - It's non-dairy. - But can we identify what nut the milk has come from. just by taste alone? It's time for I like Milked Nuts and I Cannot Lie. - We are going to be tasting nut milks. from the patent pending nudder, that's nut udder.
And again, we have no idea what we're gonna be tasting, we're just based on the nut taste alone. trying to guess what nut was milked to make this. And we're gonna be using the patent pending nut buster. to pierce the udder and receive our milk. - In the end, the winner gets crowned, or labeled, Nut Milk Brian, and because I'm already. Diet Brian and Juice Brian, I think the odds are in my favor. - The Brian gods are shining on you. (playful music). - [Together] Round one. - The first nut bladder is attached,
and we're going to pierce it, and then, - Suckle it. - Sample it. Mine's ready to go.
Had to figure out the physics of it. Once I did, boy that's tasty. - It is really good. - It's really good, it's very mild. - It's so mild. - Now, I mean I drink a lot of almond butter, almond milk. - Very thin almond butter. - I eat a lot of almond butter, too. I've had some cashew milk, that's about it. - Yeah, me too. - I haven't gone beyond that. - I'm not very much, I'm not a nut milk connoisseur. - I can't say that this doesn't taste like either one. of those, but there's a distinct difference.
between those two. - I'm a cashew milk man, that's what I put in my smoothies, and I put into my cereals. We also have almond milk, coconut milk, but I'm a cashew man. I feel like I'm personally getting a cashew vibe. But that may just be a diversion. - [Stevie] Okay, you ready? Three, two, one. - Cashew. - Uh, brazil nut. (crew laughs). - [Stevie] That was cashew milk.
- Oh that was cashew? - Yeah, yeah. It tasted very familiar. (playful music). - [Together] Round two. - Okay, we got another nut mlik here, let's--. - Whoa. I got a springy. - Whoa, oh, I went, mine went up. I don't know, there we go. Let me get in here. What, it's coming out two different places.
Wow, it's so--. - That is a sweet, sweet milk. - It's a sweet, sweet milk. That is a sweet, sweet milk. - It's got an oaty-ness to it. - What nut is that? - Is oats a nut? - Hold on. - Do oats come from a nut? - It tastes like a nut that I've had before. - In Sweden, I had oat milk. - Well, oat's not a nut, man. - I just remembered that.
I know, but that was very good. - That wasn't Sweden, by the way, we were in Amsterdam. - Oh yeah. - Which is in Holland. - Really? - Yeah, yeah. - I'd like to go to Sweden now that I know I haven't been. - It is sweet. - [Stevie] I'm gonna need an answer. You ready? - Yeah. - Three, two, one. - Walnut. - Uh, pecan. - [Stevie] This is a hazelnut. - Hazel. - Oh, it's so obvious now.
- Not really. (playful music). - [Together] Round three. - What do you know, more nut milk here for us. - Oh! - Uh. This is not a nut milk, this is not a normal nut milk. Let me get on your teat, 'cause your teat was really flowing. Let it go.
- And if you get too much at once, you can't taste it. Like it went all down my shirt. And now it's going down my pants. - What is that nut? - It's the worst tasting so far. - It's a nut milk that shouldn't be a nut milk. - It's got like, it's very earthy. - I have an answer. - Okay. - [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one. - Pecan. - Peanut. - [Stevie] This is pistachio milk, and it's made in-house.
- Pistachio milk made in-house, 'cause no one else, 'cause other people tried it, and they're like, we can't sell this. (playful music). - [Together] Round four. - Okay, let's prick anudder udder. Hmmm, that one's good, too. - That is so--.
- Got it. I think I got this one. - Okay, I think, I feel as if I know this one, as well. - [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one. - Pecan. - Walnut. - [Stevie] I'm sorry, what--. - I said walnut. - Pecan, pecan. - [Stevie] It is walnut. - Yep, there's a very specific bitterness to the walnut. - That is good tasting, though. - That is really good, did you guys make this one? - No. - Oh, I could tell. (playful music). - [Together] Round five. - Well there's no way I can win Rhett, so I crown you Nut Milk Brian.
You're now a Brian, hey, welcome to the club! - I'll play this last round as Nut Milk Brian. - Whoa! - Oh I got a double, I got a double puncher. I don't know which side to go. - That's not bad. - That is so specific. - Yeah, it's unlike any nut milk I've ever tasted.
There's still a slight sweetness in this one, which makes me think that it can be store-bought. Now that we know that walnut milk, and what was the other one that's store-bought? - Hazelnut. - Hazelnut can be. store-bought, I didn't know that. I think this one also is store-bought. - Now, I've had every sort of nut milk. Of course, being Nut Milk Brian. But sometimes,
but sometimes, I don't mind when nut milk gets on my pants, it's pretty much an everyday part of being Nut Milk Brian. Just comes with the territory, in fact, let me drink from your teat. - There you go. - I almost just pierced my lip with my own nut buster. - You don't wanna do that. - Wouldn't be the first time.
- It's not, it doesn't have a specific taste. There's not anything that's jumping out at me, it's just like, it's good. - It's very good. - It's so good. - What is that nut? - [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one. - Brazil nut. - Sunflower seeds. Which are technically nuts. - It's macadamia nut.
- Maca--, oh, it's so clearly. - Macadamia, so good, so expensive. - Reminds me of my trip to the island. - I bet they charge a lot of money for that. - Well, I'm happy to say that I am Nut Milk Brian, and will always be Nut Milk Brian. - You got a lot on your beard. - Oh yeah. - Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing. - You know what time it is. That's a good one. Even though.
That's a good one. I just want to let you know, we did watch it. in its entirety. That's a good one. And I just thought, that was good, even though I didn't. You didn't get any right. Didn't get any of them right. You didn't get any right, man. I had to get two to win. Now, we learned a couple things about ourselves. We learned that we like macadamia milk. Which I haven't really tried that again since then. You call yourself cashew milk man. Also, I like the cashew. Chase, I know that you made the. pistachio milk, which we didn't like. But I do know that you.
feel as if you've had the most fun you've ever had. is what I just heard you say. Most fun you've ever had, in your life? Is that what you were saying? Making it? I don't think I said exactly those words. Oh, what did you say then? I said I had more fun making. that, than I did most of the culinary things. I made for you. Oh, okay. Cause you like milked nuts and you cannot lie. I think because it was really easy. You just like soak the nuts, and then you blend them and you squeeze them out of a bag.
It was way easier than trying to figure out. You got to warn me when you start talking that much. Hey, hey, hey, let's move on. All right. After you suckle on an udder, what do you do? Treat yourself to several bowls of ice cream. Yes, this is the Blind Ice Cream Taste Test. from June 4th, 2018. I scream, you scream, we all scream. for an ice cream death match. Let's talk about that.
Good Mythical Summer. The best part of summertime is that our beloved. ice cream parlors can finally open their dusty windows, which have been boarded up for the cold, long, sparse, disease-ridden winter, and yell. to the townspeople gloriously, ice cream is back, the ice cream is back, winter didn't kill us, and the ice cream is back. I love that classic summertime tradition.
Everybody loves ice cream, but what is the best. ice cream out there? We could debate our local favorites, but today. we're finding out the best possible pint of ice cream. you can buy in almost any grocery store. It's time for. What Pint of Ice Cream Will Make Us Say Yas Queen. Okay, we're gonna be tasting vanilla. from each of the brands, because we think it's the best. across-the-board indicator of quality. Sorry, we don't make the rules. Actually, we did. And we're gonna be rating the ice cream.
on a scale of one to 10, and also guessing. which brand we each think it is. At the end, the highest-rated ice cream. will be crowned the king of ice cream, and whoever guesses the most ice cream brands. correctly between the two us will be the ice cream king. Mmhmm, and here are the brands we're gonna be tasting. Haagen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry's, Tillamook, Blue Bunny, Dreyer's, and Breyer's. Let's do this. Round one. As you can see, we can't. All of the ice cream will be served to us. on the patent-pending commune spoon.
Let's bring in the commune spoon. Where is it, where is it? Where is it? Is it, oh, hey, oh, oh, oh. Where's the ice cream in this commune spoon? We were close. Be careful, I do not want to touch tongues with you, man. Hold on, where? How much ice cream, they didn't put. Oh there's some over here, too. Oh, I got, I got, I got some ice cream.
Now that is, that's some good ice cream. It tastes good. But I have nothing. to compare it to. I think I got. a little bit on my beard. Not a lot, but maybe just a tad. You know, I think it's great, I have nothing to compare. it to, I will say it's more on the icy side. than the creamy side. I don't think I'm gonna have any insight. into this at all, because I very rarely.
get just straight vanilla ice cream. I like a good vanilla ice cream. And I haven't had a few of these. I've had many of these, but not all of them, and the thing about Dreyer's and Breyer's. that I learned was that they're totally unrelated, named after totally different people, and I kind of thought that Dreyer's was just some guy. who broke off from Breyer's, and then wanted. to thumb his nose, so I'm just gonna change one letter. How about Dreyer's, it's drier. But they are totally separate is what. my research tells me.
And by the way, I guess I'm giving this a five. just since it's the first one. Well you always do that, so I'm gonna do it as well. No, I'm giving it, I'm gonna give this one a four, because. Think it's a little low? It just, it was, there's. nothing really exciting about it, I know it's vanilla. ice cream, but it didn't have a real richness to it. It was good, not great. Little icy more than creamy. You ready to guess? Yeah. Yeah. Three, two, one. Dreyer's. Breyer's. Oooh. Did you go. with Dreyer's? No, I said Breyer's.
You said, oh, no, no, it's definitely not Breyer's. Buh, buh, buh. Round two. Alright, bring it in. I understand how the commune spoon works now. There's ice cream on, well maybe I don't. Where, oh. Oh sorry. I think I might have just slingshotted it into your face. Did you move the spoon. Don't touch the spoon. Well I was pushing down on the spoon.
I had to just suck it out of the spoon. I'm gonna suck a ball of ice cream out of the spoon. You okay? Now I immediately notice that this ice cream, I got a lot. Oh! Oh, are you okay. I got a lot of ice cream. What have you noticed about it? 'Cause I'm noticing something immediately. It's cold. Okay, what else? It's better. Much better. than the previous ice cream. So whatever that one was, this one is much better.
I'm saying, I went with a five before, man, I'm gonna go with a, at least an eight for this one. It's got a hint of almost, Vanilla. Yeah, it's much more vanilla-y. Do you have a hint of salt? A hint of salt? Yeah. Nope. It is very good, though. It's got a more complex flavor, I got a huge ball of it. It was a little overwhelming. What number are you giving it? I'm gonna give it a seven,
but what is it? I have a guess. Okay, I got a guess, as well. Three, two one. Blue Bunny. Tillamook. I almost went with Tillamook, but I haven't had that before, so there was no reason to. Me neither. Round three. Are they washing the spoon every time? I think it's a new commune spoon time. Probably not. I just got. chinned with some ice cream. Oh that, no, that's just the spoon,
the spoon's just that cold. The spoon moves a lot, and I don't know. if that's you, or the person holding it. That's not me. That's the person holding it. There's a sharp end over here that keeps hitting me. in the face, so I'd rather not get a fat lip. Well, tell that to the guy holding the spoon. Creamier, much creamier, right? I was thinking icier. Well, the taste is creamier, but the consistency.
may very well be icier. It feels like it's got more air in it. Like somebody took a shortcut. And then, and now, Air? I'm getting, you know, ice cream. has a certain amount of air in it that makes it fluffy. Can we bring the spoon back in please? Oh, the spoon wasn't even there? Dang, having a lot of spoon issues. Traditionally, the thicker the ice cream, the less air that's in it, the nicer it is.
It also has a slight, almost fake vanilla flavor. as an aftertaste, did you notice that? No, but I do think it's definitely not as good. as the last round, it's somewhere in between the two. So between five and an eight is a what, six and half. I'm gonna go with a six for this one. I'm going back down to a four. This one is as bad as the first one for me. But what is it? I honestly don't know.
Want to guess anyway? Yeah, I think we should guess anyway. Three, two, one. Blue Bunny. Tillamook. Round four. I've never felt, Bring in the scooper. I've never felt more lost. I just feel like I'm just throwing out. random ice cream brand guesses with no indication. as to what, there's no logic to it. Wow, this ice cream is totally different. than any of the others.
It's so much smoother. Oh, that's almost soft serve. I think I know what this is, I'm all over this one. I've got the phone number, I'm dialing it up brring, brring. Let me get some more of that, that's good. You think it's the best? Where is it? I actually don't think it, I still think the second one, I still haven't figured out my technique. I feel like a baby who's learning how to eat. I put my lips on it and just suck. Like on a cow teat.
There was an audible ugh, is this gross or something? This isn't gross. It's just two guys eating ice cream out of a big spoon. This one is so smooth. You've seen that before. Since it's the smoothest one, the consistency is top notch, but the taste. is still not as good as my number eight. So I'm giving this one a seven. I'm giving this one, it doesn't have as much of a rich vanilla esh-nesh to it. But I think I gave the other one a seven,
I give this one a six, 'cause I do, you know what, I'm gonna give it a seven, as well, because the consistency's better. And I'm pretty much betting my farm on knowing this one. Really? Yep. Okay. Okay, three, two, one. Haagen-Dazs. Ben & Jerry's. Ben & Jerry's is not that smooth, is it? Well, it is, because that's Ben & Jarry's. Round five. Bring it in, bring it in. Oh, that makes me want to go in,
making pig noises. That's the way to get your commune spoon buddy. to get in there. Mmm, mmm, that's a good ice cream. Dang, it tastes exactly like the second ice cream. I can't, what. It tastes no different that that one. I feel like they're giving, they're making. yours higher or something. There it is , I found the ball.
Gosh, the noises that you're, it's like an alien dissection. Oh man, oh. That's good, isn't it, man. You're right, though, it's a lot like the second one. Which I gave an eight to, this is not better than that, it's exactly, exactly the same. as according to my recollection, so I'm also giving it an eight, which I think is gonna become my new 10, I think the consistency You know what I'm saying. Of that is better, so I'm giving this an eight, which I think is my highest so far. Three, two, one.
Blue Bunny. Haagen-Dazs. I think Blue Bunny's not a good ice cream. Really? Yeah, that's my hunch, but I can't say for sure. Okay, alright, never had it, wouldn't know. Round six. Alright, last one. I'm gonna try to have manners for this one. I've learned a lot of lessons throughout this process, I'm gonna try to do this in the most refined way possible.
This, my friends, is the crappiest ice cream. of all of them that we have tasted this morning. It's not bad, unless you've had all the other ones. that we've had this morning. Do you agree? It's definitely not a contender for the best. It's definitely the worst in my mind. I mean the taste is just blah, I'm giving it a four. It has a little bit of that artificial quality.
that I was talking about with the previous one. It's very mild. Not a bad consistency. Yeah, it's creamy. I'll give this one a four, as well. Again, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it's the worst. Do you know what it is? Yeah, definitely. Three, two, one. Dreyer's. Dreyer's. That guy who says that he didn't rip off Breyer's, but we know he did. I've read the Wikipedia, and I still don't believe it.
Okay, can we take our blindfolds off? Yep, take your blindfolds off. Who do you feel, I hope we're right. about Dreyer's, 'cause we were certainly mean. to them at the end, especially me maybe. Yeah, don't bring me into that. If I was that wrong, I will apologize. Who do you feel won this game? I honestly was, it was a complete shot in the dark. every single time. Link seemed to have some confidence with his guesses, but he's done that before, But you know. what that means? And it's been bad.
I think Rhett won, but I don't think he deserves it. Link, you got three correct. What, that's incredible! Yeah, I feel good. You got three correct? But Rhett. Yeah. You got one correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yay. The last one apparently. So let's bring out that crown for Link. So that makes me the ice cream king.
And your favorite ice cream. Ice cream for everyone. With a total of 16 points is Ben & Jerry's. Ben & Jerry, was Link right about that one? No. No, he was not. He wasn't right about that one. And your second favorite was Haagen-Dazs. And your least favorite was Dreyer's. Dreyer's, yep, okay. We did it. Hey, there was. some logic there. It's amazing what one letter change will do. It'll make your ice cream suck. Alright, now you know what you should be eating.
You're welcome. We're gonna eat some more stuff in Good Mythical More, I believe, but thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing. You know what time it is. - So. - Pretty good episode. We never liked Dreyer's. We didn't really like Breyers in that one either, but Dreyer's, boy we will crap on some Dreyer's. Dryer sheets, though? If Youtube still let us eat those. Next up, the dryer sheet. Can't do it. We can't do that. That's got to be a banned episode. - We can't do that. - If we're gonna do that. Ben & Jerry's, it's a good reminder. Best vanilla. It's solid.
Like. It's so solid. It's a great base for all kinds of ice creams. Yeah, but when I. I never get Ben & Jerry's vanilla, because Ben & Jerry's doesn't, right. I guess some people do. Some people do, but. It's probably the most popular flavor. It doesn't, it doesn't come in anything bigger than the pint, right? Ben & Jerry's doesn't sell anything bigger than the pint. Which is interesting. Do they? I bet you they do. I don't think they do, I would've seen it. in my comings and goings. In the Midwest you know they sell it bigger than that. You think they sell a whole gallon or something?
I don't think they do. They can be coming back. The questions that are being raised in this marathon are. unprecedented. That was French. Oh, I know. In honor of this next episode. All right, Blind French Fry Taste Test. from February 5th, 2016. We're gonna cover our eyes and taste some fries. Let's talk about that!
Good mythical morning! You may recall in a previous episode of this show, Good Mythical Morning, we had a blind burger taste test. (Yes). We tasted different burgers from fast food joints. (Yes). Link, you took home the victory in that one (yes), but now we're moving things a little bit to the side. And that means the side, of frieees. 'Cause fries are a side to burgers, so... But they the main course today, y'all. So who's better at tasting fries? We're gonna find out! And identifying where they're from without being told. (Oh, yes) That's what we're really examining.
So, let's play- Two Guys Try Some Fries with Blindfolds on Their Eyes. (Surprise!). As you can see, we can't. We're gonna be tasting, six different french fries, or six rounds, and then a bonus round that's gonna get a little interesting. So we do not know what we're going to be tasting, but we do know what we're gonna be choosing from. We have a word bank of fries, which include: McDonalds, Burger King, I'm going by memory because I have a blind fold on. Wendy's, Arby's, Carl's Juniors/Hardees, Jack in the Box. (That's it.).
I think I counted my middle finger twice, it's actually six. Can't count. (Got 'em written on the inside of my mask.). So those are the options that we have to identify, just based on taste, texture and tongue touching alone. (So then...). We're gonna touch the fries with our tongues. Feel free to play along at home if you have fries and blindfolds. Let's do this! Round 1! Okay, the first fries will be brought in on the patent pending fry stick (oh) affectionately known as the Frick.
The frickin' fry stick! Let's bring in the Frick! (Could be the Sty). Oh, tasty time. I love fries, y'all. I know exactly where these are from. Instant! Well, see. I feel like I know exactly where they're from, but my instincts about fast food are always wrong. Huh, well, you have to make a choice and we're gonna give our answers in unison. (Okay). Right now.
3... 2... 1... McDonalds! (Yeah, easy!). Oh, do you, are you, not gonna tell us? Oh, ho, she's not gonna tell us! (Ooh!). That was silent! (Woow!) Okay. So now (I was waitin' for confirmation) Oh, man, there's no matter of elimination with these. (Okay). May have to answer some double, but bring it one! (Let's taste it!). Round 2! I made the mistake of putting on your Peanut Butter Peppermint Lip Balm. That's never a mistake. It's only a mistake when you're about to eat french fries and try to figure out where they're from. (Okay).
But I'm enjoying it. Alright. Bring it, bring it to my lips. (Bring it in). Oh, there it is. (Okay, ugh). I've got a smell technique going. Wow, those are so distinctly different. I'd say these are much more potato-y. Not as good though. They're still very good, to me. I love fries of all shapes and sizes. Except for sweet potato fries. Those are for LOSERS! Those are for, those are for cowards.
What are they afraid of? Regular potatoes? (Yes). I heard they are better for you though. Man, that's really good. I think I know what that is, I formulated... Really? You think you know? This is a shot in the dark for me. Okay, 3... 2... 1... Wendy's/Jack in the Box. You could be right, Rhett. I'm gonna tell you, I'm not 100% certain. (Hold on). But as the burger champ, I'm just gonna say I wasn't as certain about that one as...
But you love fries, you love the fries. Round 3! Okay, next round. (Bring the fries to the Fry Daddy, that's me). What? I'm not gonna touch that, 'cause I don't want an advantage. You gonna have to re-touch it. Lizzie? (Yeah) Is that you I hear cringing? (It's just very spitty). That's a curly! It's very obviously a curly fry unless something went really wrong with the regular fry.
That fry didn't know which way to go. But there's two, that I know of, two chains from our choices that have curly fries, right? Carl's Junior (and Arby's has curly fries). I don't know if I can tell the difference between Arby's and Hardees and you know what they may just get them from the same supplier. They don't get them from the same supplier. There's a distinct difference? (I believe there is, yeah). Do you taste the difference? Yes, yes. Do you know what it is? Yes, I definitely know what supplier these curly fries come from. 'Cause I work directly with that supplier, as the Fry Daddy. Delivered directly to my home.
Superior to waffle fries. as in almost every account. except for one. And I need an answer. In,3... 2... 1... Arby's/Carl's Jr. A.K.A Hardees. Without a disout. Not Arby's. Round four. A good curly fry. Hard to come by. Well that was a good one (even with in, even within a box of curly fries). I just don't know where it was from, but it was good. Alright. Ta... Let me tasty.
The next one. (Inaudible). Um... Are there still some left on the frick. Like can you give me the back side of that frick and I just... we took them of here are some other ones. Other ones yeah. I am just going to be brutally honest here and say. That is the least tatsy fry I have tasted thus far. You know... I am a lover of all. fry's (you don't like that one?). I don't discriminate, but i have to be honest and say...
I don't... I didn't like the taste of that fry. What don't you like about it? you don't like the flatness, You got a problem with the fry flatness? I... I didn't think it tasted as good. but I'm using the shape to try and identify where there from. Aren't you?(Yes and I feel like I have a guess as to who has flat fries.). Yeah I think I got it. (Ok let's hear your answers.). 3... 2... 1... (unison) wendy's. Oh you already said Wendy's. Well, I know I cha... I said it again. Ok, (I... I had to,). So now who's the fry daddy huh? ( Ok.).
Round 5. Alright fly the fry's in on the frick. This is fun. (Inaudible). Whoa! (Uh oh Those are curly.). It's like eating a potato garden hose. I know that this is the other place that has curly fries. The first time, I said Arby's. You said confidently that it was Arby's. No, I said Carls Jr.s. slash Hardees. I was trying to play tricks on your mind. Uh, but as we have already established (Um so... Inaudible). I said everything confidently.
And it was all a facade. So. This is so familiar, but I don't know which place it is familiar to. It's got a different spice on it. It's got more spice on it. So who has more spice? On their curly fries. it seems like a thing that Arby's would do. Yet you've already guessed Arby's (But, so... ). But I can guess it again if I want. No you can't (Yeah I can, I out can put what ever kind, you guessed wendy's twice.). Well that's me. Um. Man. Ok, I am going to need an answer. Ready? Yes. 3... 2... 1...
( Unision) Arby's. Oh See. ( I trust your fry pallet man.). I am going with it. And so did I. We might both be in trouble. Round 6. Ok so... We have no Idea where we stand. Um... but we know this is the final regular round. I do know that after eating all of these fries I feel like I have earned a subscription to Spudman Mazagine. Magazine I always say Mazagine, I can't help myself. (Yeah, yeah, yeah that's right).
Spudman. Bring it in. I'll be Fry daddy you can be Spudman. This is cold. um. My fry was warm, then cold, then warm again that's how long it was. I feel like if these were cripsy, they've sauged out a little bit. Th... That's the thing about the frick. The time that it takes to get them onto the frick and get them into your mouth. sometimes they saug out a little bit. Mine didn't saug out they colded off. 'cause I feel like if these were really,
Crispy. I would feel confident saying my last guess, Which is burger king, that's all I got left. I thought that Burger King fries were like super thick and crispy. But Burger King is always like let's reinvent our fries. Th... They have, (it's another odd year, let's reinvent our fries.). They have notably reinvented their fries, and that... the fry before the current one is the one that I really like. You can't pin Burger King down when it comes to the fries. but it's ok because they're called Burger King, as long as they don't change the burgers. They can keep experimenting with the fries. Now I won't hold it against you. (and they could call themselves, Indecisive Fry King.
I like that, Ok. I think I know what I a going to say. Ok. I think I know that your wrong, Confidently. Ok, 3... 2... 1... Burger King/ Jack in the box. I don't I am pretty sure it's not Burger king ( you didn't say Burger King for any of them.). No I didn't. I think the second one was Burger King, now in retrospect. Ok, before we get to the bonus liquify round, which is worth 2 points. We are going to remove our blindfolds, (Ok.) And see where we stand. Um... ( Can I open my eyes?) Yeah but it's bright.
Wow it's difficult (Um... Ok.). Stevie, where do we stand? Link, You have 3 points. Oh really? Fry Daddy. Rhett, You have 4 points. What, (Yeah!). Fry Daddy! slide right in. Man, It's always anybody's game. your, Spud man. Ok, ( I am Fry Daddy.).
Liquifry. I can't believe I might be about to beat you at your own game. but you know what, this is for two points it is anybody's fry game. and the winner is crowned fry king. Lord of the fries ( lord of the fries.). What is it this is the Liquifry, ooh this is it looks like applesauce. We have blended a fry of our choice along with some ingredients that usually go great on the side of fries, but not together.
Um and that is ketchup, and coke. and this is a... it is a proprietary substance. And we would like you to guess the fry. and we are trying to guess what the fry is. This is impossibla. No no, smell it though. I smell ketchup, and Cola. there is a fry, it smells like the floor of my elementary cafeteria. you know. You don't have to drink it. just guess, but. I feel like there is something to be learned.
probably don't do this. it's like a ( there is a fry in there.). like a demented slushy. it taste like a slushy 'cause of the cola. I wonder if you could snort it. if you got it in your sinuses you would be able to decipher it. now I am going to put that in my nouth. I keep having a distinct restaurant come back to my brain. and when I feel very found about it, it makes me cry, alright I have my guess.
Ok, 3... 2... 1... Burger King/ Arby's. He said Burger King I said Arby's. It's do or die for the Fry Daddy. Well Fry Daddy's. neither one of you got that right, It was McDonalds. It was McDonalds? but hey! look at me, I came back Link! I am the lord of the fries. There he is. Mr. Lord of the fries. Look at all of the places I have eaten fries. from.
I think it's very clear, that wearing that is questionable, in terms of being a prize. Thanks for liking sharing commenting and subscibing and tasting along with us. You know what time it is. Okay. When we go back in time all the way to 2016. we find that we just didn't tell you how good things were. Yeah, we just told you if we knew what they were. I mean, what's the fun in that? Well. I think you had a lot of fun. I mean, you were named Lord of the Fries. I was, and Link, you said.
that. curly fries were superior to waffle fries. in every aspect except one, and then you did not go on to say what that was. So, 8 years later, do you have that for us. People coming up to my on the street. asking me about this. Yeah? Well, clear it up for everybody. I've had letters. just about this. And these letters are from people who know me. People losing sleep. Who would rather send me a letter than text me. Yeah. I send you a lot of letters. And. They come back, though. I just like keeping the mystery.
alive. What's that one reason? If you know, you know. You totally dodged it, you don't know, man. You totally dodged it. - It's my truth to share. - I'm gonna draw it out of you. It's my truth to share. Okay. Some people don't like hot dogs because. they contain mystery meat, and those people are cowards. Yeah, just like sweet potato fries. All right, this is Who Makes The Best Hot Dog?
Question mark, Taste Test. From February 28th, 2020. Oh, in the 2020s. - Who makes the best fast food hot dog? - Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning! - Here in America we love hot dogs. We have absolutely no idea what's in them, but you put a dog in my hand I'm gonna eat it. - Mm-hmm, the only thing more American. than getting a hot dog at a fast food restaurant. is getting six hot dogs from six fast food restaurants.
And also being blindfolded. It's time for which greasy fast food meat tube. is Worth the chew and which taste like the backwash. of award winning actor Tony Shaloub? - How would you even know what that taste like? - We gonna find out, I don't know. We're tasting hot dogs from six popular, here's six, that's how many fingers that is, fast foods spots-- - Oh my gosh. - And we're rating them from one to 10 to determine. the best one. Those six places are. - Five Guys.
- Sonic Drive-In. - Dairy Queen. - Costco. - Wienerschnitzel. - And 7-Eleven. - Now, to keep things fair we got plain beef hot dogs. and we're using the ketchup and the mustard. from those respective locations. And if you think seven and 11 and Costco. aren't fast food restaurants, well, you're right. But they do serve food fast so that's good enough for us. - Did you just say seven and 11? - Seven and 11. - Okay, this wouldn't be a proper taste test. without a little friendly competition, so whoever can guess the most wieners correctly. in terms of matching them to their wiener establishment.
will receive a very own hot dog on a stick. from former Hot Dog on a Stick employee, Matt Carney. - Oh, let's eat some meat. (upbeat music). - As you can see, we can't. - Okay, every hot dog is gonna be brought in. on the patent pending Hot Dog Hot Tub. - Ooh, wish I could see that. Bring it in. (Link growling). Okay.
Hmm. - This is gonna be tough. - Yeah, first we should rank them on a scale of one to 10. how much we like it. - I mean, this is okay. I mean, I like hot dogs, but I don't particularly like that one. - You know what, I actually really like this one. I think, I'm giving this one a seven. and that's conservative. - What do you like about it? - I almost wanna give it an eight. The hot dog itself tastes, it tastes like it's got love in it.
It tastes good, it's a good tasting dog. The bread, meh. - [Stevie] Wait, did you say a seven and an eight? A seven, not an eight? - I almost gave it an eight, but I'm giving it a seven. - [Stevie] Okay. - What are you giving it? - I'm giving it a four. I don't-- - Dang homie. - I'm not feeling the love in that one. - You're gonna find that hot dog is better than you realize. - Okay, I--. - I think I know where it's from, too. - I've got a guess. - [Stevie] Okay, here we go, three, two, one. - 7-Eleven. - Five Guys. - You think it's from Five Guys? - Yeah, yeah. - 7-Eleven. - I think I felt like it had a little hamburger grease.
and that's what made it good. It's cooked in the same spot. - Well, you got a different hot dog than I did. - [Both] Round two. - Bring it in. - Okay. It's been a while since we been blindfolded. It feels good. - I mean, on this show, yes. - Hmm, this is a slightly bigger dog than the last one. The last one was a thin dog.
- This is better. - It's a thicker dog. Ooh, yeah it is better. My scale-- - Where are you gonna go? You're gonna have to break 10, man. That hot dog is way better. - This hot dog, wow, it has a lot of flavor. - Exactly, unlike the first one. - I guess I like hot dogs with not a lot of flavor. Almost too much flavor. Yeah, I'm just like--. - Too much flavor? - It almost tastes like ham. - I like it. And it's a beef hot dog.
I feel really good about this one. - The aftertaste isn't good for me. I'm sorry, it's flavorful, but. - Okay, well I'm going to eight. I'm giving this one an eight. It's not a perfect hot dog, but it's pretty good. - I'm gonna give it a five. because though it does have a lot of flavor, the flavor is kind of hammy. - It has a hammy flavor. - [Stevie] You ready? - Hold on. Yeah, I think I got an idea. - [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one. - Sonic! - Wienerschnitzel . - What, really? - Maybe.
- I'm going, I think Sonic 'cause it was big. and they like to do things big. (upbeat music). - [Both] Round three. - Okay, wiener my schnitzel. - Aye aye aye aye. Okay. - Oh. That was a thick wiener. - That is, you thought that last wiener was big, this is a big hot dog. - Oh, what are they trying to prove? You couldn't even choke on that wiener. because it would get stuck before it got into your throat.
- Somebody's got a chip on their shoulder. They are trying to prove something. - 'Cause people choke on hot dogs all the time, I mean, it's like the number one way to die. - How would you, yeah, period. For everyone on Earth? - Number one cause of death worldwide, choking on wieners. - How would you describe the taste? - I was so overwhelmed with the girth. - Right. - That I was unable to process the taste. But I do not want another bite because I don't wanna die. - The skin was thin and the hot dog was thick,
but there wasn't a lot of... - Don't say the skin was thin, man. - You know some of them have a thicker skin. - [Rhett] Yeah, like a pop. - I think I know where this one's from, but, you know I did not like it. I don't like it that big. I gonna give it a four. - I was thrown off by the girth as well, but I appreciate the effort so I'm gonna give it a five. and I think I know the place that would be willing. to try this.
- Yeah, me too. - [Stevie] Here we go, three, two, one. - Costco! - Costco! You know Costco! - Yeah! - Got those big wieners. - We got it, we got it. Big ole wieners. - Big ones! - Costco, big ole warehouse, big ole wieners. - That big around, come and get a sample. (upbeat music). - [Both] Round four! - Okay. Listen, hopefully we got a small one this time, my jaw needs a rest. - You know, my wife she goes her whole life. and she never eats a hot dog. - [Rhett] I heard about that. - She's never eaten a hot dog. - Oh oh.
That's a tiny wiener. Oh, that taste awful. - The mustard and the ketchup taste different on this. one too because they're using the mustard and ketchup. from each restaurant on it. - The meat tastes like, I know that hot dog meat. is already the rejected meat, but I feel like. this is the rejected meat. from other hot dogs that were made. You know what I'm saying? Like doubly rejected meat. - It's not a good taste. - Wow, that's not good. - One. - Two.
- Giving it a one, you're giving it a two? Two is the lowest you can go with a hot dog? - Yeah, I mean it's still a hot dog. Man, I don't wanna disrespect anybody. - So where do you think that sucky dog is from, man? Who's got the suckinest dog out there? - I feel like I know who this is. because of something that they do specifically. with their dogs, and I've seen them do it. Those rascals, yes I've seen 'em do it. - You've seen 'em do it? - Yup, seen 'em do it. - All right, I have a guess, I'm ready. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Dairy Queen. - Seven and 11.
- Nope, I think it's Dairy Queen, they boil them suckers. - Oh! - They used to, I don't know, don't get me in trouble. Don't use me Dairy! - 'Cause they had to get a special license. to grill the burgers and some of them didn't have that. but they could always boil them. - They give you a boiled hot dog. That's what I remember as a child now. Things may be different, I'm sorry, don't send me a bill. (upbeat music). - [Both] Round five! - Feed me! (Link mumbling). Okay. Oh my gosh. - That bun is so toasty.
- That's a huge bun. That bun, this is a place that expects a lot of toppings. because their buns are huge. You just wanna nestle a bunch of stuff on top. of that hot dog. - But that's a nice profile. I mean, the flavor profile of that hot dog. - Really good, yeah. - Is really subtle. - Yeah. - Not too hammy. - That's what I'm saying, not too hammy. - There's not bad aftertaste, it's like yeah, it's saying bring me the toppings. - But I agree that the hot dog itself.
is the best tasting hot dog. - And the bun was great, the bun was great. - Yeah, I'm gonna give this a, I'm gonna give it a nine. - I don't know if I can go all the way to nine. - Where is this from? - I think I'm gonna go all the way to nine with you. - Come-- - I'm going there. - Come to nineland! It's wonderful, we have hot dogs that aren't too flavorful. but are really good. - And I think I know the place that would do this. and the way that they did it. - [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one.
- Five Guys! - Sonic Drive-In! - I said Five Guys, you said Sonic? - I know, I was just louder. I thought that would make me more right if I yell it. - Well, you might be right. - All right, can we remove the folds? - No we got another hot dog, man. - Oh man! - You're not gonna. get of this easy. - [Both] Round six! - It all comes down to this. - Last wiener. - What, what, what? What the heck, what, what.
What is the bun? - Well, the bun is a piece of bread. that is designed to put the wiener inside. - Oh my goodness, I think this might be the best one. - The way that the bun folded around the wiener. and the wiener was big. - Mm-hmm, the form factor was totally different. than any other one that we've eaten today, am I right? - The taste is not on par. The taste is good. - The taste is really good, really good. - Seven. - I don't know.
- I can't go all the way to eight on this one. - I can, but I can't go to nine, so I give it an eight. - Okay. - Very good dog. - Where do they wrap their wieners so tightly? - I actually think the bun was the best tasting. at this place. - How do they get the wiener. to have such a close relationship with the bun? Or maybe it was the bun that had a close relationship. with the wiener. - I'm trying to remember. - That is really the question of the day. - Let's see, what's the other place. I haven't guessed? There's Sonic and then the other one? - Dairy Queen? - Yeah, oh dang. - [Stevie] I know this is hard, but I'm gonna have.
to give you a three, two, one. - Uh okay, I've got a guess, I don't feel great about it. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Sonic. - Wienerschnitzel . - Okay, can we de. - [Stevie] Yeah, you can remove your blindfolds. - Oh man, back in the real world. I can't see. - [Stevie] Link. - Have I done something? - [Stevie] You have one point. (Rhett clapping). - Dang man, how many does Rhett have?
- [Stevie] Rhett, you have one point as well. - This is tough, man! - We suck so bad! - Is it the same one? - [Stevie] Yes, it's the same one, it's Costco. You guys celebrated it. - All right, we got that. Yeah, big warehouse, big dog. I remember that earlier. - Yeah. - [Stevie] The biggest surprise though, is that your number one dog, overwhelmingly, is from 7-Eleven. - Yes! - Yeah, right, really?
- [Rhett] They know what they're doing. - I'm sorry, 7-Eleven, I ripped y'all a new one. I'm thinking that you had the worst. - [Stevie] But here's--. - Didn't I do that? - I don't know. - [Stevie] Better news, I don't know if that was good news, but I'm gonna say that Matt Carney can come. give you guys both a hot dog on a stick. - Oh wow! - Oh man, look at that. Actual former employee. - Hot dog on a stick for you two from me, Matt Carney. - Who gets the stick?
- You have to break it like a wishbone. - This is how you talked when you worked there? - One hot dog on a stick. - He's so charming. - Whose idea was it for you to get back in your getup. which apparently you kept? It was your idea. I think it was his idea. - I love it, does Hot Dog on a Stick. give you their slippery, they're slippery, they gotta say something then they don't. - You grab them and it just pops out the end. - Okay, we'll break down these hot dogs.
in Good Mythical More as well. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. We weren't really good at this. Just one apiece. But, boy, the big surprise is 7-Eleven being so good. - And I haven't. - Good reminder. People a lot of times ask. do you take what you've learned on the show. and then apply it to real life? And this is a perfect example of, no. No, we don't. I don't, but I think you. I've been to Sonic for a, I believe that Sonic has a good hot dog. You're more likely to apply what we've learned on the show.
than we are. Oh, yes. Cause we applied it while we did it. Right. We were applying. How many 7-Eleven hot dogs have I just passed over. since then? Not remembering how much I liked it. We both loved it. Now that I've re-unlocked that memory. now I know, 7-Eleven hot dogs are great. Go get one today. Yeah, and who know what was just on the other side. of that episode.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, you're still here. So, you're doing great with this marathon. I don't know if you've been up and about, or if you've been, if this is one sitting type thing for you. But, you might, you might need to stretch your legs a little bit. But not now, just get to the end. Yeah, I mean, you just got one more. This is the last episode in our marathon. A little night cap for you, no matter what time. of day it is. Non-alcoholic one, of course. Yes, this is the Non-Alcoholic Alcohol Taste Test. from January 29th, 2021. Is non-alcoholic alcohol any fun at all?
Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. You know how some people put vodka in their orange juice. so they can have their vitamin C. and an excuse to take a nap before noon? Ah. Well, what if I told you. that they make a vodka. without the part that makes you sleepy? You talking about Four Loko? Because that is not a road you wanna go down, trust me.
No, I'm just talking about non-alcoholic liquor, man. Okay, forget I ever said anything. I mean, it's staggering to see how many alcoholic. non-alcoholic beverages, or maybe I should call 'em. non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages, are out there. That's it. I mean, turns out lots of people. wanna live that healthy life and that party life. at the same time. But personally, I do not get the buzz. Was that intentional? Yes. I don't get it either, but maybe we will by the end of this episode.
It's time for Non-Alcoholic Liquor is a Thing That Exists, But Does it Taste Good or is the Lack of Booze a Miss? Please welcome back the helmet flavor taster, AKA the HFT 2021. Whoa, yes, the Mythical Crew has tracked down. some of the most popular and best-selling. non-alcoholic liquors, meant to emulate, oh, wow. Never done that before. Emulate, do it at opportune times. Not when I'm explaining the rules. Okay, so these are supposed to emulate the taste.
of certain alcoholic counterparts. Now, we're gonna be served these booze-free boozes. through these booze-free booze tubes, and then we're gonna try and guess. what kind of alcohol they're supposed to taste like. You try, man, it's pretty fun. All right, after the answer is revealed... Like a trumpet. I know you only did it for a couple of weeks, before yours was stolen. Oh, it's coming, you didn't tell me. that it was coming out of my mouthpiece.
We're also gonna rank how much we like these things, and to really make it an actual assessment, we're gonna be served a mocktail with it. in proper context. Oh, gosh. I'm better at this than talking. Points will escalate each round, and the loser will get mocked. while drinking a mocktail in Good Mythical More. Chase, are you ready to pour? Oh, yeah.
Well, as you can see, we can't, so we're ready. Okay. You unleashing, Rhett? I got, eh! What is going on, here? I'm trying to get liquids. I gotta get low. Do you have liquids, man? I've got enough liquid. Almost came out of my nose, dang, it's freaking...
Spicy. Dang, it's hot. It's cold but it's hot, at the same time. I mean it's just like, it's literally spicy. I'm ready to guess. Three, two, one. Fireball! Vodka? With a 94 point rating. from the Beverage Testing Institute, this product from Ritual Zero Proof brand, oh yeah, Rhett, you can take off your blindfold, ranks the highest in the world. when it comes to non-alcoholic spirits. Made with filtered water, cane sugar,
citric acid and salt, this alternative has an agave aroma. with hints of guava and peppercorn. and is meant to be a tequila alternative. Well, neither of us said tequila. It literally was spicy, like it leaves a spicy residue in your mouth. Zero proof. Well, see what it tastes like. in these mocktail margaritas, see if it tastes like-. Fireball is the only spicy thing I thought of,
but that's not even a valid guess, 'cause-. They add something to it to make it spicy. to emulate the kick of alcohol without being alcohol. I mean, this is a lot better. than just a straight up nasty. I mean, this stuff on its own is just like a... Yeah, it's like spicy water. Which is what my kids called sparkling water. for the longest time, but... Spicy water, huh? This is much better. I mean you can put, that's the number one slot, I'm good with putting it over there. Yeah, I mean, again, by itself, not great.
In the context of this fake drink, okay. Number one, whatever. All right, Chase, release the hounds. Okay, that's a little gradual. Oh. That tastes like... some kind of Kool Aid. Ugh. Tastes like bad medicine.
I'm having to work so hard. to just get any to go in my mouth. Talk about Def Leppard up in here. Or was that Bon Jovi? What in the world? It tastes like maple syrup! Yeah, it's like, there's a sweetness that you would add. to like a cough syrup. Is this cough syzurp? It's like non-alcoholic cough syrup. That's my guess. Okay, let's go for real guess in three, two, one. Bourbon? DayQuil.
I don't know. DayQuil. Okay, you can take off your masks. This liquor alternative is from a company called RONSIN, and its ingredients include apple juice. and oak and coffee flavoring. to give it a woody molasses taste. Apparently woody molasses is what you need. in a non-alcoholic rum. Rum? Aw, rum was gonna be another guess in there, but it wasn't the guess. Okay. And these are rum and Cokes. It tastes nothing like rum. No, it doesn't. At all. And that's coming from a man.
who got drunk in a bathtub one time. Yeah, lemme tell ya, if you drink nothing but rum in a bathtub once, then you pretty much never drink rum again. Or take a bath. I wasn't there, I just, I've heard the story. I mean it's not a bad drink. I'm like "Ew, what'd you do to my Coke?". I don't like this drink as good as that first one, 'cause the first one at least had some fruitiness to it. So, this ranking is intact.
Hey, Chase, you know what goes really good. with non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages? I don't. Coloring. Like coloring a coloring book. Yeah, for adults. And for everyone. For everyone, that features, heck, it even features you, man. You're in it. Sounds good to me. It's the Mythical Coloring Book, available at Mythical.com. Get yours today. I have one. Oh, well I was talking to the people watching. Have you colored yourself, Chase? I have. That's awkward. Pour, buddy.
No, I was saying, "Oh, that's poor.". Ah! Ooh! That tastes like you just tapped into a pine tree. that had died. You know, like a pine tree that's got a beetle infection. Oh my gosh! If you drank so much of this that you vomited, and I guess you wouldn't because it's non-alcoholic, it would clean your toilet.
Yeah, it has an Ajax sort of a flare to it. This is absolutely horrible. All right, I've got a guess. When I breathe out, horrible! Horrible. Three, two, one. Gin! That's definitely gin. Yeah, you guys both got it right, so. That's the first one that was like definitely, they've done something that, when you just drink gin by itself,
it's not necessarily good either. Zero alcohol gin, that's a pretty bottle! Zero proof, gluten free, zero sugar, paleo, and keto-approved, from Drink Monday. So what's this, a tonic and gin? Yes, gin and tonic. With a little rosemary sprig? Sprig it! You know, Stevie and Cassie, I don't know if they got you this, but for Christmas, they gave our family some cider. What? Yeah, they gave our family some cider. They gave you a gift? Yes, cider.
And it had rosemary sprigs that came with it. And I put those rosemary sprigs. every which way in that drink and other places. What does that mean? I'm just saying, I really love rosemary. Why are you, sit up, you look shorter than me. Why you like-? I'm just being relaxed, man. Don't be so relaxed, it's non-alcoholic. You gotta stay spry, that's the point. That is actually. the worst of all the things we've tasted so far. And gin and tonic is actually a drink that I order.
But that tastes horrible, even with a rosemary sprig in it. "Enjoy within six months.". That is gonna be a challenge. All right, Chase, give us your liquid offerings. Here they come. Oh. Oh, gosh! Good lord. Eh, it does have like a vanilla edge to it.
That one's actually not as bad. Like a flat cream soda. Flat cream soda. What would that be? I got a guess. I just don't know liquors, man! Three, two, one. Whiskey. Cream soda. I have no-. So it's bourbon. With hints of vanilla and toasted nuts, this non-alcoholic liquor. claims to be not just an imitation, but a new creation in its own right. I really like the name of this brand,
'cause it's pronounced "liars,". so it's like they're lying about the, you know, it being real. I actually was a pretty, like, it hit in the way that whiskey typically hits, which is never like. "Mm, I love it as soon as it hits my mouth.". It's like the second time it was like. "Oh," the edge kinda came off of it a little bit. Let's try that drink. And these are old-fashioneds. Old-fashioned. I can stand an old-fashioned. I think that this one for me,
because I'm an old-fashioned fan, if you handed me that at a party, I would be like "I don't think that bartender. really knows how to make an old-fashioned, but I'm not gonna keep thinking about it.". It's just like very watered-down, tepid... I'm putting this at number one. If you're looking at the mixed drink, like the mocktail? Maybe the tequila one was better. I think that the tequila one. was at least a tasty experience, but this feels like something's still wrong. If you were gonna just sip it on your own, though, you could sip this.
Again, I don't know why you would. Don't, as a matter of fact. Hm, let it flow. I got nothing. Yeah, nothing was coming out for the first five seconds. Ugh. Oh, gosh. What...? This one at least has a hint. of seeming like you're drinking alcohol. And I think as with the first tequila,
there is a spiciness, right? There is, it's a manufactured spice. But now that we've gone through it, at least you have the sensation of like, "I'm drinking something that's alcoholic,". you actually have a little bit of that experience. So now that I know that... Yeah, it's not spicy, it's spicy to emulate alcohol. So alcohol with a bite. But the taste, it's very light. It's fresh. I mean, I got a guess. I don't feel confident in it, but I do have a guess.
Three, two, one. Vodka. Yeah, you're both right. Okay, we're both right. So it's a bestselling product. from a brand called Arkay, it contains natural flavorings blended with spring water. from an underground source in Mexico's countryside. Oh, underground source, huh? In Mexico's countryside. And these are. Moscow mule mocktails. You wanna grab it right here. I get a lot of my things from an underground source. Here's your mule. In life. Oh, I like a Moscow mule. Do I? I don't know.
Whoa. Now because a Moscow mule is so ginger... What is it, ginger beer? Yeah, ginger beer. Ginger beer-forward, this tastes almost identical. to what you would get in a real Moscow mule. So, I think this is pushing towards number one, but let's try what's currently at number one, let's try this tequila mocktail, oopsie.
Eh. Yeah, it's got that watered down, too much ice has melted in it type of a situation. You know what? I think I'm on team put the vodka at number one. Because it's the least, you know what? Vodka's also the alcohol that's trying to do the least. So as you look at these, I think the one thing we've learned, because we agree, is that you got some really good-looking bottles, you got people jumping on trends, but, as good as some of these look on the outside,
very few of them are delivering on the inside. And I feel like this is less, that this is a genuinely better product. than all the rest of 'em, it's just that vodka is easier to represent. with something that's fake, than these other things, do you believe that that's true? In my soul of souls, I believe, Rhett. All right, so, the award-winning, and by award I mean Good Mythical Morning Award, winning, non-alcoholic alcohol is vodka! Specifically, Arkay alcohol-free vodka.
