Discontinued Snacks Taste Test

Which of these discontinued snacks should be brought back? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. We are about to eat some discontinued snacks, but first, this portion of today's. episode is sponsored by AG1, the daily health drink that combines your multivitamin, pre and probiotics, superfoods and antioxidants into one simple green scoop.

Now, this is a very busy time of the year for both of us. Oh, yeah. Um, I got the kids on spring break. I'm, uh, I'm, we have some projects. Yep. That we're working on. Um, kids are on spring break. I, I'm pretty busy. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm pretty busy. Well, uh, I took one of those confetti cannons that the crew loves to use on this. show whenever something amazing happens. Yeah. And I was like, I, you know what? I should take this home and I should surprise my family with it.

Or when, you know, when dad does something awesome, I should break it out. And I got excited and I, and I exploded it prematurely, and no one was even there. Oh. And, uh, I've just been slowly, I mean, cleaning up by myself. A couple pieces, uh, every day. A little bit in the morning, a little bit in the night. And the kids are on spring break. He's so busy. He's so busy doing that. I was wondering why, why you've been so busy. When life gets busier, energy support becomes even more important, and that's where AG1 comes in.

Thanks again to AG1 for sponsoring this portion of today's episode. And, welcome back to Discontinued Snacks. Yeah, we really miss buying really old snacks off of eBay and then. tasting them, hoping we don't poison ourselves, and then deciding whether or. not we should bring said snacks back.

But maybe the nostalgia's getting the best of us. Do we really need to be eating old food delivered by strangers to our door? Mm. By the end of this episode, we will have our answer. It's time for To Be Discontinued. Imagine this, it's 2022. We've survived the worst of the pandemic, which means people. are spitting in public again. Yes. So of course, Little Caesars partnered with Bigs Sunflower Seeds and made.

a pepperoni pizza flavor so that, because you can spit in public. Mm-hmm. This really, uh, slipped under my radar. Did not see this. It is no longer being made, but we have it right here. And it is my understanding that these expire in three days? Yes. So we ju, so they're discontinued, but they're the only thing we'll be tasting.

today that is not officially expired. So enjoy it, Link. We're gonna s, we're gonna see if it's still, if, if we can, if we. can taste the impending expiration. They're very orange. I mean, I don't really think of orange when I think of pizza. But it is the color of Little Caesars. We also paid $1.99 for these, which for like $3 more, we could have.

just got a Little Caesars pizza. Right. Is it strong? It has the pizza flavor. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Pizza, pizza flavor. Wasn't that for, that was for spitting. Oh, it was? Mm-hmm. Oh. Uh oh. Well, use your trash can for spitting. Mm-hmm. Trash can for spitting, this is for looking. I'm just concentrating on spitting out the part I don't want to eat. I just, this has never been my thing. But, if I were a teacher and if I, uh, and my kids did something and I was like,

if you guys do this thing that I'm asking you to do, I'm gonna give you a pizza. party, which is what makes a teacher cool. Yeah, it does. And they did not meet the goal. Instead of pizza, I would bring them these. Oh man, that's salty too. You just get yourself a nice big old cheek full of it, and then. you can drive down the road. This is, if you're taking a long trip, and you don't wanna stop for pizza. Mm-hmm. Yeah, you just shove another one of these salty little creatures in your.

mouth and spit it out the window. Ah, look at me. I'm on a road trip. There's so many different flavors of sunflower seeds. We don't need this as a world. Do we really need a Little Caesars version? The soc, society does not need, um. So, you know what crew, feel free to enjoy these. You got three days. I could not taste that they were about to expire. No. Not a bit of Boggs in them. To their credit. I think they can make it another, another three months. But we just don't care enough. So Little Caesar Sunflower Seeds,

Nah, that's whack. The 1960s sci-fi craze didn't stop at comics and movies. It also entered the. candy market. Yes, apparently Chex made this candy called Flying Saucers. But it's not Chex. This is a different Chex. This is the Chex before Chex was Chex. No mix involved at all. Now, I wanna be very careful with this because I can get the, this is the candy.

That is scary looking. I've gotta get the candy out. I mean, this thing has been sealed for 50 years. Once you eat the candy, then you can fold this thing up into a flying. saucer or a plane of some sort. Dropping. Dropping. UFO turds. Space dookie. Space dookie deploy. Oh one. Let's, let's leave our excrement on this green and blue planet.

This is candy. This was candy. Oblong, strange shapes. Okay, that's really, oh boy, it's really tight in there. Of wafer stickiness. This is supposed to be a breath sweetener. There's not a Boggs. There's no smell at all. I mean. All smell that this had, has been lost to time. It's so old at Camp Boggs. Of course, we still have our Boggs Milk Chocolate Bar that we can open and smell and.

make sure that the Boggs still has Boggs. Oh, yeah. Still Boggs. Oh oh, it's, Boggs has updated. Boggs has changed. It's a little better, isn't it? It's. Is Boggs getting better too? Uh oh. Boggs has more of a, we've gone away from discontinued snacks to the. point where Boggs didn't even Boggs.

It's, you know, he's still Boggsing, but it's there's an earthiness. Yeah. It's, I think it's actually worse. It he is, he is becoming what he was before. Yes. Which is, from dust to dust, but it still stinks and this doesn't, so I feel like you can eat it. At some point, candy just becomes wood. Do you know what I mean? Like it just becomes something that. Yeah. You can stick your tongue on. 'cause of science. There's a lot of things that you can stick your tongue on and be okay. And I think old food is one of them, because eventually it's not food anymore, right?

He listens. Oh, it's, it's sweet and refreshing still. I mean, it's been in this air tight spaceship this whole time. What, would we expect any less? Oh, I, I bit it, and it didn't pop. Ooh. It just kind of smushed. It's starting to have a taste, but it is the taste of corkboard.

You know what I mean? Mm-hmm. Why is my spit bloody? Just kidding. It's not. Just kidding. Uh, can you hand me a penny and some scissors and a tape? Of course. I always have a penny, scissors, and tape on hand. There are instructions on this about all the things that you can do with it. Tape a penny. There's not enough packaging now that turns into a flying object. Because everybody's worried about hitting somebody with something.

So you gotta put, you gotta put the. Liabilities. Extra weight of the penny on the front. Take your time. We don't worry, we don't worry about liabilities. Look at that. Oh, there you go. He's already got the side there. You know what, I'm going, I'm going more slowly now that you're, you're talking crap. Oh, nice. All right. So just see if you can, uh, get it to go in the fan right there. Okay. It, it dove down a little bit quick. It might be because there's still a thing in there.

Yeah, you've got too much stuff in there. Fun in the sixties. Oh. See that? A little 3D action. Did you wince? Did you flinch? Um, so we just have that, now that you've done that, it's making me rethink everything. 'cause it was so fun to watch, um. I really like the design and I like, that's really all I like. But what are we saying to bring. The design. Them back? I. What are these? I think these need to come back because I really like, I just really.

like that you can play with it. I mean, they made the planet Earth look like it's an atom. Like it's got like, protons on the outside. That was the thing that they did. Just kind of like going all around it. Yeah, they didn't understand anything. All right, so. These didn't taste good, but I bet they could if they were new. That's right. If they were recontinued. Yeah, 'cause we know how to do that. So we're gonna say flying saucers candy. I think I'm choking on it.

Bring It Back. The seventies were a period of wild innovation. Lava lamps, mood rings, pet rocks, and Gorilla Milk. Yes. We have acquired what everybody wants and that is a vintage package. of strawberry Gorilla Milk that we paid $130 for, off of eBay. Oh my God. Created by Pillsbury.

It's an instant breakfast that you can eat cold or hot. Let's look at the ad here. The ad has a bunch more gorilla on it than the one that we bought. No gorilla on the one we bought at all. Why is the tagline a balanced protein breakfast for swingers? Oh. Hey man, just because you're mixing it up doesn't mean you, you don't. need to have instant breakfast. Right. After a wild night of sex with your neighbors, maybe you don't. have time for a full breakfast.

Uh, there's no way that this is about swingers, that, the. way that we understand it. This is if you're swinging around on the trees and jungle gym, et cetera. I feel, I feel bad for opening this thing. Well, it's only 10 cents. Even though, I have a glass here, I could mix it in. I'm gonna pour it in here so we can see what color it is. Tear open. I mean, just think about, this thing has been sealed from the. manufacturer after all these years. Somebody's just been pristinely holding onto it for decades.

Mm-hmm. To sell it to some unwinning fools on the internet, who are just gonna. Yes. It's like, well, we're gonna open it and really taste it. I mean, we, oh, yeah. Whoa, you see that little pop. That's a good sign. That's a good sign. It's a good sign. Oh my gosh. That's not the color of strawberry. Why does it look like, what the uh, pizza flavored. Yeah. Sunflower seeds were mixed up in. Pizza flavoring. Now be careful with this because, save a little bit, 'cause we might be. able to go to the zoo and artificially inseminate a female gorilla.

That's how they did it. Yeah. Yes. Hey, any, anything we can do to help. Actually it, um, Rhett you got it exactly opposite. If, if you can look anatomically, you can tell this is a gorilla diva cup. Oh God. Hey, listen man. I already, I already, I already crossed the line. You already crossed the line. I, well smella that and you'll get back across the line real quick. Uh.

Yeah. I can't say I know what that's supposed to smell like. Gorilla soil. I, I have no idea what the intention was. All right, well. Why does it not sink. It floats. Why? Why can, it has no ability to mix with the milk. The milk doesn't wanna have anything to do with this. Look. Hold on. Is this fake milk? Is this prop milk? It's thick milk, man. It's thick milk for the old people. Hold on, that's cr, that's crazy.

God, hold on. It's turned solid at the top. Look. Oh, and it's flat. That is cool. What is happening? Dip your spoon in. This is just a new way to make milk. Put your spoon in there, make, make sure I'm not crazy. When in Rome, like the gorillas do. I can't, I can't get through it. Oh my goodness. I pushed a bunch of it down. Yeah, you pushed like a disc of it down. It's turning into something that might be tasteable. It's actually becoming pink now.

Oh, thanks for that. Thanks for the, oh. Hmm. But why is it called Gorilla Milk? Because it makes you strong and uh, gorilla's strong. Yes, okay. Okay, so now I'm gonna pour this into there. You did, you did a great job with that, by the way. And then, see that right there. All of that, just nobody, nobody knew about the mess I made. Even though it's still here. Mm-hmm.

My intention is for it to not be here eventually. So is. But for now. It was just powder and powder can't be that bad. Powder can't hurt you. Right, again. And the, and the way that, and the reasoning that we. Just do a little taste and spit, do a little taste and spit. And if you don't like it, you know what? There's other options. You know, tomorrow night, somebody different, I mean, another different drink. Right, yeah. Can I what? There's four different flavors. If I stick my tongue in this first, will you then partake? Why don't you stick it on your tongue versus sticking your tongue in it?

I don't have a dropper. I, I didn't bring my dropper. Uh, just use that. Just take a little. Okay. But, because the answer's no. If I see your tongue. Okay, I got it. Go down into that. Bring in the other glass. Then no, I'm not go, I'm not going. Bring in the other glass and that'll be the catcher. So put that down there. Okay. This is. And I'm gonna do this, and then I'm gonna drip onto my tongue. Okay. Just in case. There's no way I can get hurt doing this.

Science, this is the science. Yeah. Carney's just oohing your tongue being out. What's wrong with his tongue? It's pink. Oh. It's reminiscent of something. It's reminiscent of something. Oh, you just gonna drink it? Now, it is burning a little bit.

Ooh. Ooh, ooh. It is very granular. Ay. Oh, what is it reminiscent of? Um. I don't know. I can't find it, I can't place it. You know? You know how if you leave a car out for a long time and then the paint starts to. turn into powder and then you lick it? I've never, yeah, well, no. I don't know about that. It, yeah, it's like if you, it is like licking a jalopy. That's exactly what you're thinking about.

But I'm gonna say some things here and, uh. Say 'em, dude. We have, uh, an ability to taste something like this that is from many. years ago before we were born, and we can taste it, just, I can taste just a. couple of drops on my exposed tongue and come to the conclusion about what this. would've tasted like in its in its prime. And you would've loved it. But it would've just, let's just be honest, it would've just been. basically Carnation Instant Breakfast.

Yes. Yep. That's for swingers. That's what it would've been. And we weren't swingers. And swinger, and Carnation is. Still not. Huge in the swingers community. Mm-hmm. No, that's pineapples. Okay. Well, they can like more than one thing. Okay, yeah. That's the whole point. They like more than one thing. Yeah, they don't. They don't. You can't pin 'em down. So you're making an argument that this should be brought back? I'm saying the best way to decompress in the morning, in the awkward. morning after a night of swinging is with Carnation Instant Breakfast.

That's really the lesson here. But it should be Gorilla Milk. It sh, yes. Okay, got it. No, no. Actually it shouldn't be because it is Carnation. Oh, already exists. The market's too crowded. Right. Gorilla Milk? Nah, that's whack. Alert, we got a new pin of the month. Woo. It's the Let's Hop About That pin of the month. It's us as little frogs or toads, or maybe a combination of both. Well, we're on lily pot, lily pads, so that may mean we're frogs. Okay. But maybe one of us could be a toad.

I don't know. We'll have to see. I, um, of course you can only get this today. Go to Mythical.com and order it today. It's the only way to get it unless you are a subscriber to. our pin of the month subscription, so that you don't miss the 24 hour windows that we make for. each of these pins every month. Yes. So you can sign up for the whole shebang subscription also at Mythical.com. Get 'em. They're so cute. Now, let's go back to 1993.

Alright. When Keebler said, forget cookies. We're making tortilla chips. But we're gonna make 'em taste like cookies. Yeah. These are Chacho's flour tortilla chips in the cinnamon Crispaña flavor. Crispaña is not a real word. Crispaña was invented by the elves. Those elves, they've got a real problem with work life balance. They're, when they're not working, they're working. You know what I'm saying? Because they live in the tree. They live in the tree, they live, it's, it's a work live space.

Oh. And so they're there in the tree. They're working during the day, making things, and then at night, instead of relaxing, they're coming up with new Spanish words. And there's nothing we can do to fi, to stop 'em because we can't find them. Can we show the, um, commercial? No, we can't. Why? Why is that? We can't show the commercial. Is it because it, is it, is it not appropriate?

Uh, well, the elves got into the computer. You know how they do. Oh, okay. What I'm talking about, elves, you know. Oh, Boggs. But we got Boggs, we finally got some Boggs. Let me, let me. Oh, be care, don't, don't, don't go deep. No. You're not gonna need to. Oh. I told you. Whoa. It is so strong. Now, I'm not gonna comment on the fact that. Uh, the head elf there on the back is wearing a sombrero.

Uh, it was 1993. Right. And he was, I mean, he did invent Crispaña. So, I mean, maybe that gives him the right, I don't know how it works. Um. So it, we're gonna have to dig really, really deep to figure out what. these would've tasted like in 1993. I really do like the packaging, like. I love that roof. I, the fact that you've got the Keebler on a bag is just so strange to me. They also released another thing called Suncheros, which. is, uh, another type of chip.

But boy, these, this is so strong smelling, this is. Got that terracotta roof. You know, may maybe, oh, you know what? Maybe that's where they go to make these, they don't stay in the tree. Maybe I was wrong about my assumptions I made about them. They had a cheesy quesadilla flavor, and a restaurant style original, but. my stomach's hurting from smelling. Yeah, man. This is Boggs for real. This has got deep Boggs. Soft. Oh, I wasn't even gonna do that.

In fact, I was gonna say, when one encounters something that has this much Boggs. Oh yeah. With this many points, one should take the point of your tongue and make contact with. the point of the tortilla, speaking of 1993. Could've said all that earlier, before I actually ate it. Go ahead and taste it. I know what you're gonna say. It's the same thing that I'm about to say, which is we could still sell these. as is if we just call 'em old churro.

Oh. Old churro, dude. When you get just to the taste you can get. Yes. Hmm. It's like bad churro. But you don't. Chacho Boggs. But you don't really taste Boggs. I'm against any chip with anything sweet on it. But you like churros? I love churros, but I hate bad churros. And I don't want to have a churro experience on a chip. Nobody's doing this and no one needs to do it. Cinnamon twists.

I'm telling you, nobody needs to do it. Have we brought anything back? Yes. Yeah, you brought back the, uh. Don't worry. We brought something back. Flying, flying saucers. Okay. You see. So Keeblers Chacho's Cinnamon Crispaña Tortilla Chips. Nah, that's whack. Now I know we do some amazing things on this show and amaze you with our, our. ability sometimes, like for instance. Sometimes. The ability to taste something from the past and then use mouth math to project it. To the present to know what it would taste like now in order to properly judge it.

Right. And you might say to yourself, how do you do that so accurately every time? Well, that's because, every once in a while, we hone this skill. We practice it by taking something old and tasting it, and something new and tasting it. And we're gonna do that right now. A little, we're letting you into the process. Yeah. Pulling back the curtain. So you got some blindfolds there. Lifting the skirt, so to speak. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. This is what we do. As you can see, we can't.

And so we've got Cheeto Puffs from, uh, 1983. Not Puffs, though. Puffs came out in 1971. From 1983. And the crunchy Cheetos came out, uh, much earlier in. 1948. 1948. So, one of these is from 1983. One of them is from present day, 1981, 83. 83. 83, and today, which is 2026. Okay. And how much did we pay for 'em? We have no idea which one is which. We paid, uh, 39.99 for the 1983 ones.

I don't know what the going price of... $40. We have no idea which one is which. Uh, okay. Yeah, we have no idea. All right. Why don't you try the ones on Link's side first? Yeah, okay. I'm happy to do that. Oh, hold on. Don't, we can't be confident about eating these 'cause you never. know, that could be the balance. Hmm. These have held up so well. Yeah.

If they're from 1983, they're great. Whoa. It's miraculous. Hmm, man. They're so good and cheesy, crunchy. Now. I have a headache. What? Ooh, they're softer. Oh, yeah they are. They're, they're almost like human fingers. Oh God. The Boggs is just ripe, boy. This is a whole year before we met, man.

I think, to be fair, you should have a few of these, just like you had a few from bowl. Yeah, right. Oh. Okay, Chase. Are, are you, what did you do? Did you. I faked him out. Did he? Is that what he did? I faked him out. Yeah, he thought I ate one. Wait, you didn't eat it? We need to lick daddy this thing, I think. Man. We gotta, we gotta figure something out. Donkey lip it. What color are they? 'cause we can't see. Uh, Cheetos color. Okay. So they held up color-wise. One of, uh, I mean this might be the, the 2026 one still, so you gotta taste.

it and then we're gonna do a 3, 2, 1. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, you're exactly true. Okay. Oh, uh. Aah. Just a little on the. Okay. All right, let's hold your hands over the 1983 Cheetos in 3. Hold on. Let me. You need a second to think. I, I'm wiping my tongue. You know, if you leave your jalopy out in the parking lot with the windows.

rolled down for, I'd say about 20 years. And that upholstery, that vinyls just starts to flake and then you lick it. Uhhuh. That's what it's like. It seems like something you might want to do. As much as you talk about it. I like to lick jalopy. Let's go to the 1983 Cheeto, a hand over 1983 Cheetos in 3, 2, 1. Uh, gotta be these. Oh yeah. Going out on a limb. Lemme see. Link is correct.

Oh, you are, you're so wrong. They look so normal though. They don't look that bad. I think these should come back because I just, I simply like the packaging better. I'd like the retro packaging to come back. This is before Che, Chester though. Yeah, they, he needs to, he needs to go on sabbatical. He's on a skateboard for God's sakes. Like, he doesn't need to be on a skateboard. Okay. He needs to grow up. Send him away for a year or two, we're gonna have this.

So that's why I'm saying 1983 Cheetos, bring back the packaging. And also. How are these so good? We need to decide if we're gonna bring back this format. You know, discontinued snacks. Well, what is your stomach telling you? I'm kind of burying my grief in a pile of cheetos. I mean, now I'm happy that we're ending on these. Well, you know what? Maybe we let y'all decide. Yeah, that'll work.

Why? Why don't we just say on Reddit while we're at it. I won't go there. We'd be fine. Decide on Reddit if we should keep doing this or not. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what the time it is. Hi, I'm Theo. And I'm Yohanda. And we are in Norway, about to try 9-year-old matcha flavored Kit Kats. And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. It'll be fine. Yeah. It'll be fine. Just go. We believe in you.

Just, just, just lick it and then, you know, spit it out. And in the meantime, don't forget to come back tomorrow for a very special. episode, We Give Vasectomies Together. That's right. We've already gotten 'em. Now we're giving them. Yeah, and we're not trained yet. Click the top link to watch this decipher Gen Alpha slang in Good Mythical More.
