Is This Candy? Challenge

Can we turn candy into dinner? Let's talk about that. ((Intro Music)). Good Mythical Morning! And Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! If you celebrate. And now, if you just happen to be, watching this. video with your significant special valentine, please, please remember to click the video twice so we can. get an accurate view count.

((Laughing)). Yeah, that's it. Now while we don't typically condone eating candy. for dinner, we wanted to use this day to give one. particular style of candy a chance to redeem itself. Now I'm talking about gag candies, not candies that, are. gross and make you wanna gag, candies that are jokes. Candies with weird savory flavors that you would. never actually buy. Because you want to eat them. You just see them on the shelves or on the internet.

Oh, Stewart would love this. I gotta get this for Stewart. He's crazy. He's got a shelf. Yeah. He might be wanting to put this on his gag shelf. Or he'll eat it because he's crazy. He'll try it. He'll try it. And then he'll put it on his shelf. Can I keep going? Yeah, shelf. Our question is, what if these gag candies can actually. serve a higher purpose? Oh, Link, I'm so glad you asked that question. because that is what today is all about. You're always so on top of it. I'm glad I keep you around. It's time for, You Can't Have Dessert Until.

You've Finished Your Candy! ((Music)). As you can see, we can't. - [Stevie] Okay, X and Y chromosome having humans, the Mythical. Kitchen has taken a series of novelty candies and. turned them into actual meals, using each candy as. a substitution for the food it's meant to taste like. However, before you get to taste those creations. First, you're going to taste each candy to see if. you can guess the flavor. Oh, a game. - [Stevie] You ready for your first candy?

It's right in front of you. It, I, over, both over here? No, it's not. - [Stevie] No. - [Link] Both over here. I don't feel it. - [Stevie] One. One in front of each? Oh, there it is. I have one. Oh, what? - [Rhett] Oh, oh. What is this? It's hard. - [Rhett] Has he got the same thing as me? - [Link] He's big. It's a little big. - [Stevie] It's not first to guess. It's the 3, 2, 1. So enjoy, you know? Take. Smells good. - [Stevie] Take your time. - [Rhett] Oh man, that's a nice one. Rhett, it's not chewable. I think it's supposed to melt in your mouth.

Over the course of 45 minutes. There's still some sweetness. Quite a bit. Can I say the thing that. I'll say, it's got a lot of maple in it. But that's not. It's got maple in it. The main thing. I did know that. Alright. So, what would it be? See, you're biting it. When I'm ready, this is what I do. - [Stevie] Okay. ((Laughing)).

When I'm ready, this is what I do. - [Stevie] Okay. Three, two, one. - Chicken and waffles. - Maple bacon. - [Stevie] What did, what did you say? Chicken and waffle. Maple bacon. - [Stevie] Yes, it's, it's macon, macon? ((Laughing)). Oh, it is? - [Stevie] Yeah, it's. Oh, I got to the bacon center! Wow! - [Stevie] Yeah. You're totally right. I got to it. I bit into it. Oh, it's taffy. It was just maple until I got to the bacon. - [Stevie] Yeah, it's maple bacon and it's from taffyshop.com. off of Etsy. Can I say?

Can I just say? They've done it right. They've done a good thing. Stewart is going to be pleased. Yeah, Stewart's going to put this on his shelf. Because it doesn't have that ridiculous liquid smoke flavor. that they always do on bacon. That makes it taste bad. So, can they use it as a substitute for bacon? - [Stevie] Yeah, so using these saltwater taffies, the. Mythical Kitchen team has prepared a BLT for you. What? Look at that! Let me spit this out. Yeah, I just swallowed it.

You swallowed that? I did. Well, this is pretty. - [Rhett] Did you give Link a BLT or a BL? You still did the T. Okay, this is gonna be difficult to, just so. you, just so you know, we're not cheating. Bacon? Bacon? Yeah, y'all did it. Y'all made bacon. Y'all did it. Now, did you, Nicole? - [Nicole] Yes? Form these into bacon by, by putting them in your mouth?

And then, and then pulling it. - [Nicole] No, I don't have a microphone on me, so. I'm just gonna project. I like that! - [Nicole] Okay, so, I, so what I did was. It's cheaper that way! - [Nicole] Yeah, I agree. What you did is I, I took the taffy and I. microwaved it for like six seconds so it was pliable. She put it in her mouth. - [Nicole] And then I pressed it down with my hand. She put it in her mouth. - [Nicole] And then I used a, a rolling pin and I rolled it out. And then I used my hands to form it so. it looked like bacon. She's yelling at us, but she put it in her mouth. Here's the thing that I'm learning. We could get rid of this mic if we both talk like this.

I'm just projecting. We could just use the camera mic. We'd save a lot of money. We're projecting. ((Laughing)). Uh oh. I got a bite. This is strange, because my teeth go through lettuce and. bread, and then they hit this impenetrably hard surface. Stewart would not be pleased.

How is it with tomato? Maybe that's the problem. The difference in consistency is difficult. for me to swallow, both figuratively and literally. Yeah. Sorry, Stewart. It doesn't taste enough. The thing that makes it great, actually makes it. not work as a substitute. It doesn't taste enough like bacon to make this work. So this is a. - [Both] Sweet defeat. ((Music)).

Still can't see and you can. Oh, I like that. Okay. All right. This one is cylindrical. Oh, this is hard. Don't chew this one. Stewart. Stewart's not here. We're just talking about Stewart. Oh. I know. Oh, we are, gag. How strange is this, homie? I like this. What is this? I like this. It's, it's. It tastes like something.

There's like a, it's like tastes like medicinal. fog. It tastes like something that I think they're trying. to make it taste like. Which I like. But, but, but it's not meat. What is it? But now the more I taste it, the more I get confused. It tasted a little like laundry. Like an air freshener. It tastes like something, but it's not doing the. thing that I would expect it to do if it were the. thing that I thought it was. Like you would drop this in a toilet and then you. couldn't smell your own.

And it turns into a dinosaur. Toilet, yeah. That eats your poop. - [Stevie] You want to venture a guess? I see from Rhett that he does. That's right. Visual cues. Yes. - [Stevie] And Link is not going back to what he said, but we're doing it. Three. I didn't do anything last time, did I? - [Link] You just kind of clasped your hands. Oh! - [Stevie] And Rhett was doing a more casual version of what he has. straightened out for this. It's higher now.

- [Stevie] Three, two, one. Cucumber sandwich. Okra. - [Stevie] Okay, you're both in the right, like, green world, but you haven't. Jalapeño. Raw tomato. Cucumber. - [Stevie] I said, you're both in the right green world. I mean, I guess you could do a green tomato, but. Yeah, that's what I meant. An unripe tomato is what I was trying to say. It tastes like cucumber. - [Stevie] Your hint is, this candy is truly unbe-leaf-able. Poison Ivy! Spinach!

((Laughing)). Spinach, kale. - [Stevie] Kale! Kale, yes, of course it is. - [Stevie] It's, from novelty shop Archie McPhee. And, it's just hard kale candy. That's pretty. - [Link] Look at her on the front. Oh, isn't that the kale lady? Her name is Kale-y. ((Laughing)). Kale-y. Hey, Kale-y. Kale-y's coming over. Stewart, now clean up. ((Laughing)). I know how you feel about Kale-y. - [Stevie] So, the Mythical Kitchen team has prepared a kale Caesar.

salad, chopped up kale hard candies, parmesan crisps, Caesar dressing, and croutons. The candy was not bad at all. - [Rhett] It wasn't. It tasted better than kale. I'll tell you that. Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy, look at the candy, candy. - [Rhett] We've got. - [Link] Croutons and the candy and the. cheese and the candy. Candy, candy. Kale-y's not gonna come back if you act like that. Kale-y!

- [Rhett] I like a crunchy salad. ((Laughing)). I've been meaning to get crowns. ((Laughing)). Right. All across. All new crowns. Just the queen's sweep of crowns. Yep, I've been meaning to. Yep, yep, now's your, now's your opportunity to. do it on the workers comp. ((Laughing)). Yeah, right.

I don't know how that works. I think I still have to pay for it. ((Laughing)). Croutons are great. This is, this could be sold as a crunchy salad. I can't get it out of my teeth, it's everywhere. Yeah, you take some home with you. - [Link] I mean, cheese is good, dressing's good. Is that enough to give it a victory? I don't know what's coming next. I just feel like maybe we, you know, hedge our bets. a little bit and say yeah. I do like the logo. Logo, we love the logo. We're gonna call this a. - [Both] Sweet victory! ((Music)).

You know what? Today, it's still not too late to get yourself some. Valentine's Day candy. But if you wait till tomorrow, you can get it on sale, probably. It's the best time to get Valentine's. If you want to know exactly what you should get, you. should go over to Sporked.com. and you should search Valentine's Day candy. And you're gonna find a list of the best. Valentine's Day candy. Old school, new school, middle school. ((Laughing)). Sporked.com. - [Stevie] Alright, your next candy is in front of you. Oh, good God. What in the world?

- [Rhett] I shouldn't have gone in so hard. Oh my gosh. What is this? It's huge. It's like. It has the feeling of a chocolate covered Twinkie. I know, but now I. Oh, I found a little exhaust. hole on the bottom. Yeah, there's a hole right here. Maybe you suck on that. Two holes. There's two holes. It's like a vampire bit it. It's greasy. - [Rhett] I'm just gonna go for it. Gummy. - Oh. - Oh.

- I like that one. - Alright. I'm ready. ((Laughing)). I'm ready. What are you doing? I'm ready. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] Three, two, one. Pickles! Pickles. It's a pickle. Oh, it's a pickle. It's an actual pickle. Yeah, I was like, I don't know. - [Stevie] Yeah, it's a dill pickle. - [Rhett] It's really good. This is wild, man. The crazy thing is it felt to me, like it was covered with.

something else that it wasn't. It's weird. What happened to my brain? It looks like a stress toy, look at that. This is good. We could sell these in the parking lot. Alright, what'd you make with this? - [Stevie] Mythical Kitchen team prepared some fried pickles. with some ranch dressing on the side using the gummies. Yes, y'all did! Take a big one! Don't let Stewart see you skimp.

Did you ranch it? Oh, man. I'm still getting down the original one I ate. Dink it. Oh, ranch balls. And? Oh, man! ((Laughing)). Is it hot? Oh God! Sink it. Oh! Tell Kale-y to wait outside! Oh, tell Kale-y not to come in yet! Oh no! ((Laughing)). I think I'm gonna have to change! Oh boy, that's good, isn't it? Holy crap, that's good.

I guess when you fried it, it melted? It, yeah. Huh! - [Nicole] A little, yeah. It made it the consistency that it needed to be. You're not projecting anymore. - [Nicole] No, they gave me a microphone. Oh. - [Nicole] Sorry. Can you still project? - [Nicole] I don't want to hurt the sound person's ears. I'm trying to be considerate. This is good. James can handle it. This is, finally, we have a legitimate sweet victory. - [Rhett] Good God, that's good. It is good. It's killing me, slowly, by choking me.

But it is good, wouldn't you agree? - [Rhett] It's so good! - [Link] It is a. - [Both] Sweet victory! ((Music)). Oh! It's, it appears to be a disc of. - [Rhett] Oh! A candy of cotton. Oh, wow. Why is it shaped like this? Have you tasted it? Yeah, I kinda like it. - [Link] I do not like it. What's wrong with it? It doesn't taste. The initial taste is horrible.

There's an interesting aftertaste. Well, that's just sugar. The initial taste, to me, was cotton candy. No, you got it backwards. It was something raunchy, and then it was cotton candy. What is that? I don't know. I mean, it's certainly trying to be savory. Is it trying to be salty? I don't want to keep eating it. - [Stevie] You ready to guess? I do for some reason. I don't. I'm not ready to guess. - [Stevie] Three, two, one.

Chicken. Ham. Stevie? - [Stevie] No. Who's closer? - [Stevie] You're, you're in the completely wrong category. So it's not even meat? - [Stevie] There's a, there's a reason I believe that Link had. such a strong. Tomato! Yeah, you got it right! ((Laughing)). Congratulations!

You got it right, Daddy! Yeah! It's horrible. I kind of like it. Yes! Bam! Another L! ((Laughing)). Wow. Hey, Cotton Candy Randy. Yeah, you're such a great guesser. Do you want to hear a sweet nothing? Oh yeah, I do. I want to feed you organ meat without using my hands. ((Laughing)). Hey, Link. I got a Valentine's Day present for you.

Yeah? I can't tell you what it is, but they're gonna. make a six part true crime podcast about it. ((Laughing)). And then that's gonna get turned into a. Peacock miniseries. And you'll be played by Cole Sprouse, and I'll be played by. the divine Miss Carrie Coon. ((Laughing)). Well, see you later! ((Laughing)). Cole Sprouse, huh? If he has that kind of pull in Hollywood, I might need. to amend my relationship. Yeah, yeah. - [Stevie] Okay, so the Mythical Kitchen. Yeah, take it up a notch. - [Stevie] Had made a caprese salad.

Oh, that's so smart! Well, this is better than what it would normally be. Do you just one? And, do you just, is this what you? - [Rhett] It's fine, I mean. It's just fine. It's pretty thick, huh? - [Nicole] Yeah, that's balsamic glaze. Just pour it over. Yeah, yeah, just a sort of a drizz, a drizz. - [Link] It's, it's not really. I'm not. You're sticking out your gyat for the drizzler. ((Laughing)).

Sure. I see what you did there. Grab one. - [Rhett] What, you gotta grab. It wants to disappear on me. - [Rhett] You gotta grab two things. I love a good caprese. You gotta get, you gotta get all the ingredients. You know, when I'm enjoying a caprese salad, this is when I. start feeling sorry for you. Because you can't enjoy the wonderful bounty. I got news for you.

This is better. Once you take that tomato and you. - [Rhett] Because the texture's gone. You turn it into something else. It's so much better. I find it interesting that. I love this. You were able to recognize the taste of tomato that. you didn't like, and I was just confused. I was like, I don't not like it, but I. can't tell what it was. I know, I thought it was, yeah, I don't know. Which means that they nailed the flavor. Yeah. - [Rhett] This works though, it makes him like caprese! - [Link] Sweet! - [Rhett] We can go out now! - [Link] Victory! ((Music)).

- [Stevie] Okay, this final round is a two candy round. So, on your plates there's like two little piles, so don't. Don't mix them up. - [Stevie] Okay, it's fine. You can mix them together. But you're guessing two things. They're both candy corns, I think. They feel the same. - [Stevie] Yeah. Candy corn. Ooh, yes. No. Oh. That was weird. What was that? Do they complement each other? Is it a combo?

- [Stevie] They have some thematic pairing. Okay. Second one is much milder. It's hard to tell. First one is, that first one was nasty. ((Laughing)). This is when I'm, when I'm like locked in and now I'm. getting impatient, I go. ((Laughing)). Is it air escaping? Are you trying to, are you trying to hand fart? What do you think that sounds like?

What could I be doing? Have you seen my whole deal yet? Cause you've been blindfolded every time I've done it. Well, then that answers your question, doesn't it? ((Laughing)). So you don't know I'm doing this. No, I've been doing this. I don't know what, and I don't know what you're doing! This! ((Laughing)). Alright, in a moment, let's guess what we've been doing. - [Stevie] Three. Let's just do this. - [Stevie] Two. One. Ham and eggs! Chicken and biscuits. - [Stevie] There's a, when you said ham, that was.

part of one of the words. Burger! Hamburger! - [Stevie] And? Pizza! Gravy. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] Grapes? Hamburger and hot dog. - [Stevie] There you go. Hamburger and hot dogs. Hamburger and grapes? Gravy, I said. I said gravy. - [Stevie] Oh, gravy. For the record. - [Stevie] Yeah, it's candy corn. Tailgate candy corn. - [Rhett] I don't know which one was good and which one was bad. This is just so dumb. The third one in here is popcorn, which. you didn't give us. - [Stevie] I mean, if you think the candy is dumb, the. Mythical Kitchen team melted them down and stuffed them.

into a hot dog casing and then, did the same. with the patty situation. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Oh, look at that, Link. - [Stevie] Smash burger, they call it. Isn't that funny? Yeah, but this one here is scary. You want to switch? This is what I've been doing. Oh, that's what you've been doing? I've been doing this. Oh. I'll just take a bite of this. Take a bite of that.

I don't, I don't really want to take a bite of this. Let's switch. I want to take a bite of both. Oh, you do? Don't take it out of the bun. I know. I'm putting it to the edge of the bun. Okay, here we go. And a little bit of a bite. This isn't bad. Try that. This isn't bad either. Oh gosh. The consistency is so bad.

This casing. - [Link] I know. Oh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna have wicked nightmares about that. Oh, God. Yeah. ((Laughing)). I told you. This is kind of reminiscent of. The hamburgers a lot better. Is it not? Yeah, but it's not great. It's not great at all. It's a hamburger. It almost tastes like a. Like a pickle sandwich with a piece of plastic in it. Yeah.

This round's, unfortunately, a sweet. - [Both] Defeat. I said defeat. You said "da-feat". Either way, it sucked. But we did learn that when it comes to the vegetable. savory gag candies. That's the way to go. You go to veggies instead of going all the way to meat. Somehow it works. Yeah, it does. - [Stevie] And Rhett, you, pulled off the win, which. means that you get a shot from Cupid's arrow. Oh.

Hi, it's me, Cupid. A different guy than the one that was here before. I can tell. Time for your prize. Now you're pregnant and have tetanus. Happy Valentine's Day, daddies! Glad you won.
