What's The Best Cotton Candy Snack? Taste Test

- The way you approach cotton candy. disturbs me and everyone else. - I don't like touching it. - I see that, you're like afraid of it. (upbeat music). - Good mythical morning. - Okay, if you could only pick one carnival food. to eat what would it be? - Elephant ears, man, fried dough. - Okay, how far down the list would you have to go. to before you got the cotton candy?

- All the way. - Oh, so you're not excited about today, but a lot of people. are excited about cotton candy, because there was a lot of stuff out there. that is flavored to it tastes like it, and now we're gonna taste those things. It's time for Super Snack Flavor Match Cotton Candy Edition. - What's your favorite carnival food? - Corn dog. - Okay, well, we don't have any corn dogs, sorry. - Rats. - But we do have a bunch of cotton candy flavored snacks, and we're gonna rate each of them on a scale of one to 10. to see how closely they taste.

when compared to actual cotton candy. Then we're gonna add our scores together. In the end, the snack with the highest overall score. will be declared the truest cotton candy flavored snack, and will accordingly be forever named Cotton Candy Brian. - Now, of course we knew that there was one person, you might be thinking this, that had to be involved in this. Now he's been holed up in quarantine for quite some time. I haven't been in close contact, but he did mail me. - Can't be here, right? - He did mail me this ear piece. that's got something on the end of it. Let me, this used ear piece.

- Okay? - Okay. Let me see. Hello, Cotton Candy Randy? Can you hear me? - [Randy] Happy cotton candy day, daddies. I wish I was there to smell your beautiful flesh. - Oh, that would be incredible, Cotton Candy Randy. - What did he say? - He said he's a big fan of me and he wants to smell me. - Oh okay, well ask him what does he think. of cotton candy flavored snacks?

- You may have heard that, Link wants to know. what you think of cotton candy flavored snacks, because that's what we're about to eat. - [Randy] Well, I mean, they're okay. But the important thing to remember is that. they're filled with chemicals that are made in a lab. If you want real cotton candy flavor, you should let me ring out my sweaty undershirt. directly into your mouth. - Well, you know what, I would love, he must have ring out his sweaty undershirt into your mouth. I would love for that to be arranged, but unfortunately, since you're not present,

what we do have is we have real cotton candy. Do you have any tips for how we should actually enjoy this? - Yeah, you're going to want to use your fingers. and your tongue, and whatever you do, don't wash your hands. That way you're getting a little salty with your sweet. - Use your fingers, man. - Oh, he said use the fingers. - Oh, you can't hear him. I forgot you can't hear him. - I can't hear him. - Yeah, yeah. - It's only through your ear piece. - It's only through the ear piece. - That you can hear him. - Right, it's through this ear piece that ends right here.

(laughs) Yeah, use your fingers and your tongue. because of the salt, he said. Randy, you got a sweet nothing for us? - [Randy] Yeah. (breathes heavily). I sleep in a waterbed. filled with the tears of lost children. - Hmm, that makes me feel all warm inside. - [Randy] Is Link there? - Yeah, he's right next to me. - [Randy] Tell him he's the reason, I tell him--.

- Here, let me, let me. - [Randy] I'm the reason you've been. waking up with night terrors. Your screams make me feel like. I have a tummy full of warm soup. (giggling). - What'd he say? (crew giggles). - Let's just get to our first cotton candy snack. - Okay, bye Cotton Candy Randy. - [Randy] Bye, and remember, when the blood moon rises in the sky, I will reveal my true form. To look upon me will curse you with the knowledge.

of how all things will end, bye daddies. - Bye! He is so sweet. (carnival music). Now, when I think of cotton candy, I don't usually think crunchy until now. Cap'n Crunch has made a new flavor, Cotton Candy Crunch. - Okay. - Link, could you pour some milk? Because I know that's your thing. - Well, kind of my thing. Here we go, look at that. - As you can see, it's pink and blue. flavored or colored Cap'n Crunch. that apparently has a authentic cotton candy flavor.

- We will be the judge of that, on independent scales of one to 10. And did you know that Cap'n Crunch was created. in response to a 1960s market research. that revealed that kids under 10. preferred crunchy foods to soggy foods? - And also kids over 10. - Yeah, I like soggy foods. - Also all people. If I ate this blindfolded, I would think I was eating Cap'n Crunch and nothing else. - [Link] It's good.

- [Rhett] It is tasty. - I'm trying to find even the hint of cotton candy in this. - Maybe if we did it side by side. - There's an aftertaste. - I'm gonna give it a one. - Based on aftertaste, I'll give it a two. - [Rhett] Okay, for a total of three. (carnival music). - Next up we have Pop Rocks Cotton Candy Explosion. Wow, they added the word explosion. And here you go, Rhett. If you want to have your own explosion, there's your little ramekin. - [Rhett] I want to have my own explosion. Do I eat it with a spoon?

- Just eat them with your hands. - Well I have a spoon, I might as well. - Eat them with your hands, eat them with your tongue. - Now I will say that there's an Amazon review of these. from Carmen, who says "kids loved 'em. Went to Comicon with a backpack full of these, and kids loved them. - Come on, kids. Don't go to Comicon and take Pop Rocks from strangers. - You're gonna get on the kids' case? I think I need to get on Carmen's case. for going to Comicon with backpack full of candy. and handing it out at children.

- Oh yeah, ooh, there's a little bit of pain. - Oh, good pain. - Just a little bit of pain. - Like a mild kinda pain. - Listen, ooh, that was a big one. - But does it taste like cotton candy? - I'm starting to think that-- - It's like pop rocks. - People think they want to eat cotton candy, but they just want to eat the same thing. with cotton candy colors, because these colors are very enticing. - Cotton candy has a specific taste. I need to remind myself of it, because I feel like I'm going a little bit nuts here.

- It's just sugar. - It just tastes like sweet. - Anything sugary. - Sugar rocks. - You could, you could say it was cotton, actually you know what? - It's a little bit closer. I'm gonna give it a two. - No, man, I think there's a little bit more here, four. - [Rhett] For a total of six. (carnival music). - Final reminder, today is the last day. to enter the Golden Tee of Mythicality giveaway. for a chance to win one of these three prizes.

Now listen, cotton candy, it's not good for you. Nobody's trying to pretend that it is, but what if it was good for you? What if it was a fruit, specifically grapes?

Well, The Grapery makes flavored grapes, including cotton candy flavored grapes. - This is a gimmick, right? - So Josh, I know you and Nicole did a podcast on this. Could you quickly just explain what's happening here? - [Josh] Yeah, so the cotton candy grape. is actually a crossbreed. between two of the sweetest grape varieties. It was developed by a horticulturist in Bakersfield, and it just kind of naturally tastes like cotton candy. They're trying to make it more appealing to kids, but he's also sitting on a bunch of different. grape crossbreeds that apparently taste like pineapple. and mango and strawberry, so I'm waiting for that. - He's sitting on them like a hen? - Like he lays them, that's the secret.

- [Josh] What do you think horticulturist does? - Dink it, not that one. - Oh man, I put it on my tongue. - Another one, man. - A bigger one. - And sink it. - Now. - I'm definitely getting grape. - You're, cotton candy like crazy. I've had these before. and I was blown away and I'm blown away again. Two seconds into the bite. You're not getting the cotton candy? - Yeah, definitely.

- By my tongue, these are way more cotton candy. than anything that we've tasted so far. - Can I have one from your ramekin? - Maybe recenter with some cotton candy. - I think that would make it worse. - The way you approach cotton candy. disturbs me and everyone else. - I don't like touching it. - I see that, you're like afraid of it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, something's turned me off to it. I don't know what or who it may be, but it's good.

- You don't taste the cotton candy? All right, I think it tastes like cotton candy. and I think Link doesn't, so he's gonna give it a low score. So I gotta make up for that, I'm going to give these an eight. - I'll give it a three just because I believe you. - Am I right or wrong about that, Josh? Do they taste like cotton candy? It's like uncanny. - [Josh] Big time. - You think big time? - Big time. - I'm just inoculated to it. - [Josh] I give it an eight for whatever that means. - Well, I'll add one more, so that's a four, so that brings us to a total of 12. (carnival music). Baskin and the Robbins has created a cotton candy ice cream.

which we have before us. Now, after the grape, I'm like feeling so left out. - Well, this one might be a little bit more direct. - This one hits you over the head. I mean, the colors are are made for ice cream. It's very fun. - How could you not get it right with ice cream? It's a creamier, dreamier version. of your favorite fluffy puffy treat, swirled in a carnival of color for extra cuteness. That's from the Baskin Robbins people. - There's a very specific cotton candy taste,

but you're right, this one only shows up. in the very, very tail end, like as it's sort of, as this gone down, as you're thinking about my next bite. Oh, now I realize that I'm eating something. that tastes like cotton candy. - It's good. - And it's very authentically cotton candy. - I did not think I would like it, but I do. - It's an aftertaste, but it's very, it's so authentic that I'm going to give it a seven. - Yeah, well, I was thinking five. So I'm going with five. What's that? I'm tired of adding. - 12. (carnival music).

Cotton candy can get stuck in your teeth. You know what else can get stuck in your teeth? - Popcorn! - And that's why you're not a big fan of it right? You don't like things getting stuck in your teeth. - Especially if you can't get it out. - Well, this company, Main Street Fudge and Popcorn Company. has created cotton candy flavored popcorn. - See, I think what you can do is. you can just add those those colors and sugar, and then it it'll trick your brain into thinking. it tastes like cotton candy, but we're not gonna be fooled.

(crunching). Oh wow, it's pretty cotton candy. - I don't think you know what cotton candy tastes like, bro. - I got it right here. - I agree with Thomas Zappulla, who gave it one star on Amazon and said. "disappointed, no flavor at all. Didn't taste like cotton candy or anything else.". - No, at the very beginning. - If you told me it was supposed to be. like cake flavored, maybe. - Yeah, you're right. - It does not taste like cotton candy. - I think it tastes like cake.

because of the butteryness from the popcorn. - It's like an icing kind of flavor to it, but not cotton candy. I don't know how they get the flavor, but it's very specific and you gotta hit it. and they're not hitting it, two. Two because you tried so hard. - No, I'm saying four. - Okay, you can say four, two and four is six. (carnival music). - You don't have to really chew on cotton candy, but in this case you don't have to chew all, which frees me up to just gulp it down.

It's Faygo's cotton candy flavored soda. - I mean the immediately the smell, the smell. - Immediately the colors and then the smell. - They got the smell. - Yeah. - They hit it. - Because what we found is that. it's pretty difficult across the board. I mean, overall, our scoring has been pretty stringent. - That is really, really good. I mean, it tastes like cotton candy. It's not really good, I wouldn't drink this. - It tastes absolutely horrible. - But it tastes just like cotton candy.

if it were to be liquified. - Oh, it's bad. - It's got cotton candy, but then something else that like--. - I'm wrestling with the other thing. because it's very cotton candy-y. And then there's what is that other thing? - Just like weird soda taste, like blue color. - But it is soda, so it kind of works. - I gotta give this uh, I got to give it an eight, yeah. - Again, here's what I'll say before I give my final score.

- Yeah, you're gonna talk about the grapes? - I'm gonna talk about the grapes. - All right, fine, I know you want. to talk more about the grapes. - I think that it is an incredible feat. of culinary craziness that somebody was able to crossbreed. grapes and get them to taste exactly like cotton candy. Now Link's cotton candy receptors for grapes don't work. The crew tasted them, some of them were blown away. at the uncanny cotton candy flavor. That's something that you need to try. - This is like a personality profile. = [Stevie] Everybody but Zach. - Everybody but Zach and Link.

- That's right. - Here's the thing. The real taste here, the real test here is to figure out. which one tastes like cotton candy, and of course they engineered a soda. that could taste just like cotton candy. So I'm going to give it to the same score. that I gave the grapes which was an eight, but you gave it a? - Eight. - Eight, so eight plus eight is 16, which means that cotton candy flavored Faygo. Is officially Cotton Candy Brian. - There it is. Oh my gosh.

But I am gonna eat some more grapes until, I'm going to keep eating them until I get it, man. I promise. - Alright, thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - Hi, we're from Frederick, Maryland. - And we drew Link, Rhett, and Cotton Candy Randy. - And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. - Yeah it is, nice drawing. - Time to spin it!
