What's The CORRECT Serving Size?

Are serving sizes totally wrong? Let's talk about that. ((Intro Music)). Good Mythical Morning. Where were you on the day you found out that. a package of ramen noodles was two servings? How did it make you feel? Right now. Oh, well, welcome. I don't feel great about that. Welcome to the present. - Yeah. - Did you feel betrayal? I felt a little betrayal. Well, that's what I felt. Yeah.

We're in this together. I've caught up. Everyone's personal opinion on the correct food portion. size is good and valid, but not according to the FDA. We learned a lot in our previous episode. about the FDA's serving size assessments. And hey, once again, we're serving them a challenge. It's time for. These Snacks Are Still Serving Sizes. - [Stevie] Gentlemen, before we begin, a reminder from last time that. the FDA dictates serving sizes on the nutrition facts labels.

to reflect what the average person eats in one sitting. Yes. - [Stevie] Or so they say. It's different from portion sizes, which is. the amount nutritionists recommend you eat. With that in mind, we're kicking things. off with Twizzlers. So how many Twizzlers do you think the FDA. says is one serving? And then also show us what your own serving. of Twizzlers would be. I'll do it! Twizzler fight! - [Stevie] Just to let you know what's on the line, whoever. loses today's game will be served some legal papers.

in Good Mythical More. This is never going to end. I think you could go on forever in a Twizzler fight. Twizzlers are mostly eaten in movie theaters. And then you're grabbing. the whole pack. And then, the expectation. Oh my gosh. Is that. Put them all in your mouth. You're just gonna, whatever you buy at the theater, you're. going to eat in the sitting. This is kind of that amount.

And then, but there's no way that FDA says that. you would have them all. So I think there's that many. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. In a package. And I bet you there's, I bet you the FDA is saying, You'd eat half of them at the theater. That seems reasonable to me. Now how many would I eat? Once I eat one, I'm like, man, is that, how does your.

body even digest this stuff? It doesn't. It goes right through. I would get in my head and I'd be like, I don't. know if I wanna like keep putting ropes down in there. And then I would just eat one. If all you do is eat Twizzlers, if you fast. for a couple days and you only eat Twizzlers, you will make a Twizzler. Right. And it will have a little screw on it. So what have you done? Well, I'm a licorice fan. I'm not a Twizzler fan. So. I love the fact that you felt the need to be really.

These aren't licorice. Clear about that. They say licorice on them. They're not licorice. Licorice is black licorice that tastes. like the licorice root. Which is imposter. Are you running for like licorice office? Well, I'm thinking about it as soon as it opens up. So I'm only gonna eat one. I'm in the same boat with Link. Like I'm not much of a, I'm not much of. a fake licorice guy. - [Stevie] I don't know if I've ever seen, like, you're telling me. if Shepherd gets Twizzlers. And they're next to you. She ain't buying it, Rhett. - [Stevie] That you're only eating one? Yeah. - [Stevie] That might be the only food that you've done that with.

It's a big food. I ain't buying it either, Stevie. How many inches is that? He's aspirationally answering. That's eight inches. You know what? My sweater is Twizzler colored. Are you running for Twizzler office? Yeah, if it opens up. I think the FDA serving is two Twizzlers. I just think they're like, hey, Kate, slow your pace. Two Twizzlers. - [Stevie] Okay, we have two, we have five.

The answer is three. Huh. So, Rhett, you're closer. Yes. You get the point. Let's see if the, yeah. Two's closer to three. Two, three. Two's closer to three than five. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, if you're running for Twizzler office, you. gotta know these things. I'm not, I don't think you. Hey, you're gonna be a part of the debate. You're going to be on the debate stage and you're. going to completely implode. That 3 needs to be closer to 5 than 2. and that the serving size should be 5 and not 3. Vote for me.

You're not getting my vote. ((Music)). - [Stevie] Moving on to DiGiorno Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza, and I'm looking for some fraction answers on this one. Oh, you are? So, even more math? Alright, so. Don't, hey! Don't look! I was just seeing if you were slicing. What do you think I'm doing? I'm just over here moving my hand back and forth and you. can't see what I'm doing. What other things could I be doing? I was just wondering why you're cutting it at all.

because isn't what you would eat the whole pizza? Yeah, but I'm making a guess according to the FDA. Okay. Thank you for letting me use this. It's kind of like a knife but it's circular. Alright, so, here's two halves. I feel like, you know, I do feel like I would eat. Here's two halves. I feel like I would eat a half. I feel like I would eat a half, and then I feel like,

I bet you this is not how they would slice it, but I. bet you right there, I bet you that theirs is a quarter. Man, there's one of them. It's good. It doesn't taste like delivery, it just tastes. like DiGiorno, but you shouldn't be ashamed of that. I like it for what it is. Not what it's trying to compete with. - [Stevie] Now, Rhett, are you taking a tasting break in the middle. of your answer, or is your answer on the board right now?

What are we doing? Rising crust. We're running for office of DiGiorno. All right. So, I've only got one pizza to do this with, and that's. not enough to make my guess. So, when I get a pizza this size, I eat the whole thing. Every time. This is like the size of pizza you get when you go. to one of those places where you make your own pizza. Yeah, but it's so much taller. So I'm eating the whole thing. I'm just gonna be honest with you. It's hard for me to stop when it comes to pizza. But I actually think that the FDA serving is. a third of the pizza.

Basically what I'm working on right here. For me, I'll eat a half. I think theirs is a quarter. Which I bet you they'd call that two. slices, which I'll do. - [Stevie] Well, I was looking for a fraction. So a quarter is a good fraction. But, yes. Yep, there we go. There we go. There we go. But it's two slices. The roni's good. - [Stevie] So, the FDA says that a serving size of this. pizza is one sixth.

Yeah. What? One sixth? So you can split this with five of your friends? You and five of your friends. You bring this to a party. A six person party and they're like, guys, we each get one slice. It's like, who brought DiGiorno to the party? You're losing those friends. You're losing those friends. - [Stevie] But Link, you are closer. I don't know if you knew that. I'm not proud of it.

- [Stevie] Alright. How much would you eat, Stevie? - [Stevie] I feel as if two slices is appropriate and the. slices work out to maybe a little bit less than half. You know, two big slices. So 1/6th is crazy. We're all in agreement. FDA! Forget that assessment! Oh! ((Music)). We've been told that Trevor has something that he wants.

to share, so, it seems like a perfect opportunity. Hi guys. Hey. So, I just wanted to say, to all of you out. there, that I know you're already thinking about what. you're gonna watch next. Aren't you guys thinking about what you're gonna watch next? Yep. And I'm here to tell you guys, and all of them out there, that you're gonna go to the Mythical Kitchen channel, and. you're gonna check out the Last Meals playlist, because. we've had so many incredible guests, and Josh has done so. many incredible videos and interviews, and, yeah, it's really cool, and we're really proud of it, so you. should go check it out, and I just wanted to tell you.

guys that you're my perfect serving size of fun. There we go. Bury the lede. Turbo. Thanks, Trevor. Nuggets. - [Stevie] Tyson chicken nuggets. I agree. Last meals is a great, great series. I think actually, a more interesting question when it. comes to nugs, sort of like a sub question, you might. say, is what's the serving size of a bite of a nug? Because I think it's a nug. Oh, no.

Half a bite. Not a full nug. They're perfectly mouth sized, and I have a small mouth. I mean, look at that. Why are you always gonna stop short when you. can just. - [Stevie] You get half the amount of sauce if you do. it in one bite, though. Two bites, you get twice as much sauce. Oh, have you seen me sauce a nugget? - [Stevie] Surprisingly, no. Well, probably, yeah. Probably like ten times. Okay. I mean, I'm hungry.

I'm reaching for a handful. How many am I going to get? Am I eating anything else besides nuggets? Or am I just eating nuggets? You know? I've already had two. I like to think in terms of like. I'm definitely going to eat more than that. How many come in like a McDonald's thing? A 20 piece? And I'm not letting the plate sway me too much, but I know I eat more than the serving size. There's just no way. That that's the case. I bet you, yep.

That's what I think. Two, four, six, eight, ten, eleven. That's kinda weird. Do I eat an odd number of nuggets? Two, four, six, eight, ten, eleven. That's a lot of nuggets. I love a big bowl of nuggets. Yeah, I like seeing a bunch of people at a party just. reaching in with their hands. Pulling out nuggets.

I am saying that the FDA serving size is 6. I'm saying that the FDA serving size is 4. And I'm saying that my serving size is 4 times that. 16. I've already had 4 while we've been sitting here. Yeah. Alright, my serving size is 11. Maybe 12. - [Stevie] The FDA serving size is five. Oh, we tied! Right in the middle. Odd number. Very weird.

Wow. Five nuggets. See, that's more reasonable than a sixth of a pizza. It is more reasonable, but it's just not enough, y'all. It's not enough FDA. You have a side, though? Beause I'm thinking I'm only doing nuggets. I'm not even drinking anything. You know what I'm saying? This is a nugs only meal. That's the mind frame that I'm in. So then you're reducing your answer. All the moisture that I'm getting is just coming. from, it's nugget moisture.

You know, I'm not drinking for another three hours. Have you drank lately? Well, I had some nugget juice. That's healthy. Alright, but we're not as angry at FDA this time around. We forgive that. assessment. ((Laughing)). ((Music)). - [Stevie] The tie is scored and it all comes down to this. And this isn't just any Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I know. It's the winner of Gut Check, Peanut Butter World. Best ice cream flavor. I haven't had, this is hard to get a hold of. That Ben or Jerry has to offer.

Alright, so I'm gonna throw into this bowl. what I would eat. Which I already know is half of this. Well, do you eat directly from the thing? And I eat directly from the thing. And that's, that's the true, that's danger. It's hard. So really. I hit a ribbon. The thing you wanna do is, you really wanna. It's like striking gold. You really wanna dip it out and put it away.

When it's just open so that you're not in a. situation where you're negotiating with yourself. Just like, well, you know, there's only, there's only half left. I might as well go ahead. This is so hard. Might as well go ahead and eat it. Well, I'm on team half of the pint for sure, Link. And then, but if I grab that pint, boy, I'm just. gonna keep going for it. So, and also the top is wider than the bottom, so you have to kind of take that into account.

Oh, I don't. Yeah, so you're actually eating a little bit more. than half in your first. I think that's actually exactly half. That's like a, this makes a bowl of ice cream. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's how much ice cream you should be eating. I'm gonna put the minimum amount in this bowl. that I think is even an acceptable amount to. not just be frustrating. Listen, the RDA, The Rhett Dietary Association says. that you should be eating a bowl of ice cream. Listen, if you're gonna eat it, eat it. Make it worth it. If you're gonna eat it, eat it.

You know what I'm saying? Don't be nibbling on some ice cream. If you're gonna get in a car, go to town. ((Laughing)). - [Stevie] Okay, for your FDA servings, you have little, like, cup. measuring things on the side. So let's see how much that translates to. This is such a good ice cream. - [Stevie] Now, Rhett, we are playing a game. I have to mush it down. To know how much it is. So I'm saying that this right here is four ounces.

Four ounces. Boy, that is sad. - [Stevie] Let me know in cups where you're at. Stevie. Let me know in cups. Half. Half a cup. - [Stevie] Okay. Half a cup, Stevie. Let me find a ribbon. There's a ribbon in the sky for your love. There's a ribbon in my mouth for your, you know what I'm saying? It's a peanut butter ribbon. Who are you talking to? Stevie Wonder.

((Laughing)). Okay. I gotta mush it down so I can do a scientific. measurement for the FDA. What's in this again? Milk chocolate ice cream with peanut butter, buttery swirls. Okay. And chocolate cookie swirls. My answer is a half a cup. - [Stevie] Okay, well, the score, the tie is scored. And I answered that first. - [Stevie] Guessing half a cup. So now you have to change your answer. Oh crap, well that's what I put in there.

Is exactly a half a cup. You'd have to put more. ((Laughing)). Okay. My answer's half a cup, but I'm gonna go to five, I'm. gonna go to five ounces. - [Stevie] Well, what's that in cups? She needs it in cups, man. Come on. Five sixteenths of a cup. ((Laughing)). No, no, no. It's, it would be five eighths of a cup. I'm just gonna eat this.

Right? - [Stevie] So you're, you're, you're? Four ounces. So one cup is eight ounces. So, I'm saying five ounces. So I guess I'll be forced, you know what? Well, you weren't quick enough. I'm gonna go down, because FDA is a little bit weird. I'm gonna go down to a third of a cup. I'm going down. - [Stevie] Okay, that is a fraction I can accept. The answer is two thirds of a cup. Oh, I should have gone up!

Well, thanks, FDA. You know what? I didn't believe in you. But technically, I have more than a half of a cup in here. - [Stevie] Well, in Good Mythical More, you're gonna. have more legal papers. Because that's what you get as the loser of this game. Okay. I'm just happy I'm eating. FDA, get with the program. You need to forget that. Ahh. Always.
