Which Is The Impostor Snack? (Taste Test)

Can we identify a foreign snack imposter? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. The best thing about living in a city like Los Angeles, apart from the earthquakes, whose gentle vibrations do wonders for my lower back pain. Am I right? There's got to be the abundance of diverse multicultural. communities in international. grocery stores.

Yeah. Cause that means access to unique and interesting snacks from all over. the globe right on our doorstep. But how good are we at sniffing out which snacks come from where. and which don't come from where? It's time for sneaky, sneaky snacks. Okay, boys, to kick things off in front of you, our four sweet little treats. Three of them hail from Japan, and one is an imposter from a completely different country. But which one is it?

Directly sniffing out the imposter will get you one point. You'll then guess which country the imposter's knack is from. for an additional three points. But you gotta choose carefully. Cause the loser of today's episode will be investigated. by the winner in Good Mythical More. Uh oh. We've got so much to hide. Let's start with this pink. triangle. It has an insignia on it. It says S. fruity. sweet. I mean, this just seems like.

grandma's tin. You know, open up her tin. Or there's like a glass. thing on her coffee table. and there's just the hard candies down in it. My grandma just had more cigarettes. Everything you open at her house. More cigarettes? Yeah. Really? Here, there, everywhere. She's hiding cigarettes everywhere. No candy I could find. I mean, we had some werthers.

in an ashtray. Your grandmas didn't smoke? Nana never smoked. Nanny used to smoke, but... she quit before I could remember. It's like a milk dud, except with. Some chewy wooey. Made a mess. Are you trying to look at what's in there? It's white, but then there's. something gummy. This should be in our movie theaters. We have movie theaters? Oh, as a country. Yeah. Yep. Yep.

Rabbit turd shaped and sized. You think that's what they were thinking? I hope they're called rabbit turds... Now what is this slab. Well, there's this like something you would love. It comes with a knife. And what do you. What do you like, cut out an entire. Oh, my gosh. Can you make a loaf? Is it room temp jello? Sliver me one out. There you go. Grab that one. I'm gonna take this to our theaters.

Smells like prunes. What is this?.. It's not too sweet. It doesn't taste like a food. It tastes like a situation. A japanese situation? Maybe. Like, I mean, I've never been to Japan, but I aspire to go. When I do, I expect to be slicing weird stuff... and eating whatever they give me. And I don't disagree.

It tastes like showing up. right on time, but one week early. It tastes like that. You know what I'm saying? It's like, oh, I've got my stuff together. You get there to the party, 07:00 p.m. party. And they're like, oh, that's next week. And you're like, but I've got all this time set aside. So you felt like it was gonna be great, but then. you were way off. Like, it's something that isn't quite yet baked.

Here's a little. white. This is what the. white rabbit turds. Oh, God... Be ready. Ooh, ooh. I know what that is. but I ain't gonna say it. Cause I'm playing a game against my partner. Is it a stink fruit? No. Yeah. it's Durian... All right, well, I'm ready for my guess. Okay, so you're guessing the imposter only first and 3,

2, 1. I'm changing my mind. This is the most boring. I was gonna choose that, but then. I chose Durian because it's not. Durian is not from. Japan originally. So I don't know if that's. I mean, they probably have commandeered it and used it in candy, but I. Think this is south american. The imposter is on plate number four. So, reminder, the next part is that you're going to guess.

what country that imposter is from. Now, you do have. You each have one lifeline. You can only use it once throughout the game. And we will give you. secretly revealed to you the first letter of the imposter. country. But it is round one, so. I don't know if you're going to want to use the lifeline now. We each get to use it independent. Three, two, one. Indonesia.

What? Are we right or wrong? You are both. incorrect. Thailand was my backup guess. The sneaky snack was. Trento bites. Passion fruit. Moose candy from. Brazil. Passion fruit. Hey, you were right about something. Being from South America, it was just the wrong thing. So the other ones, starting from the. pink little ones, that's sukuma strawberry milk candy.

Meiji... Gummy choco shrimp strawberry. These are really, really, we're loving these. And also, it's a rain stick. For short. thunderstorm. What is this for? The jelly is Yokan wagashi, a type of traditional Japanese sweet. And this one's made with white bean paste. Yeah, I was gonna say there was a bean paste sort of flavor, but then I thought that maybe you would know that was from Japanese. Cut into your preferred size and enjoy it with japanese tea, coffee, and black tea. So it's kind of like a jelly.

That's not a jelly. It's a bean paste. Do with. Do with that what you will. Okay, we're moving on to cookies. Now, three of these cookies are from India, and one is an imposter. Okay, see, I'm thinking about when I go to an Indian restaurant and get. cookies and I get dessert. It's not typically a cookie. I've never been to India. Look at this one, though. That's a nice.

flower. And then on the backside, totally different. front side, you got this yellow. thing on the backside. You don't have that. You're not gonna like it. You don't like lemon. There's lemon. And then there's also ginger. Very lemony. A blonde oreo... with what in the middle? More of this yellow crap. Totally different. But is it.

Fruity. It's not lemon. No, it is fruity. Very fruity. Hmm. This cookie here looks fuzzy. Oh, that's. Aw, this thing is dry. it could just blow away in the wind. This is like --. What is that flavor? How little can we add to a cookie to keep it held together, but no more... You know what I'm saying?

They got bacon bits in them. Is that candy? What is that, red flecks? I think it's. rose flavored. You can't really chew them. This looks like. a Zen garden that's been disassembled. Somebody raked through that? Got nice and. satisfied and then just moved on. Like an old Zen garden from a hoarder.

that they raked it. and then. They died, but then they cover it up with all the stuff they were collecting. No, they had a humidifier that was going, and they left it on, and it caused it to, like, wet the sand. But then the humidifier died. No one discovered the body. because there were always weird smells coming out of the apartment. So they let it go for. months before they showed up. But you never. How do you. And they went inside, and they saw the person sitting at a typewriter.

Dead. Oh. And all they had typed was. dear. Detective Lawrence, comma. And then it stopped. Are you trying to tap into the true crime. trends that's happening now? Like the beginning of a game of clue. I'm hoping it'll go somewhere. Taste that. Are you intrigued? I just don't understand how you. Stevie, are you intrigued? You see a Zen garden at a hoarder's house? You never see the floor of anything at a hoarder's house. Yeah, I was.

I'm confused. Cause there's a typewriter, a humidifier, and a Zen garden. But other than that. and a hoarder, the hoarding part is. a mystery. This is coffee. It almost. seems, like. They, like, smushed all of the, like. espresso grounds. that came out of the espresso machine into a cookie. How big are they into coffee in India?

Probably pretty into it. But they might be more into tea. I don't know. I think they're more into tea, man... Okay, okay. And guess the imposter in. three, two, one. I think it's the coffee. I think they just like tea. I just think that maybe this maybe is from some place where they. like rose flavored things, which could be India. I don't know. The imposter snack is on plate number. two. Ooh. We both struck out. Yeah, this one had the least amount of information.

So now. we're in a lurch, huh? Give us a second. indian cuisine, they like things to be flavorful and pack a punch. We should have chose this one. Bland. Dear. Detective Lawrence, I tasted. the cream on the inside of the little cookie. Yeah. just this past week. All I know is it's not from India.

Tastes kind of like bubble gum. All right, let's see. Where's my flag? Oh, my flag's already here. We just say words. Oh, we just say words. Three. Two, one. It's an Afghani cookie. Sneaky, sneaky snack. It's... Nuvita Mango cream cookies from Kenya.

Can you believe it? They're pretty good. Didn't like it. Let's see. These ones that I didn't think I'd like, but I did. The first one is Britannia treat. Cozy cardamom. Cardamom cookies. We should have known that. And then you have Karachi bakery. Fruit biscuits. Fruit biscuits do not recommend. And. parley. Hide and seek mocha cookies. Those are quite. Cafe mocha. Quite good.

Yeah, that right there packs a punch. It's got to be fully caffeination. Is there any rose in this? It tasted so floral, but apparently it's just fruit. We are fascinated over here. We're so fascinated. We are officially. one week away from this year's Good Mythical Evening. Yes. You should join us for a sexy, scary, and stupid livestream on October 25. There's gonna be Alcohol. There's going to be cursing.

There's going to be costumes. And a whole list of things they won't let us do on YouTube... It's going to be fun. Y'all go to goodmythicalevening.com to get your tickets right now. We're moving from candy to cookies to fish snacks. Yum. I was hoping you were gonna say fish snacks. What? Three of these are from Korea, and one is not. Starting with fish balls, link. Hold on. You saying this is a fish ball? Those little strips? That's fish strips, man. There's piece of fish.

Hold on. This. Oh, and there's fish inside. It's a rattle. It's got a peanut inside. It's a sweet, like, corn puff. Peanut inside. Oh. Oh, and I just got. I just got a whiff of fish. It's a hint. Oh. Whoa. Yep. As soon as you swallow, it's like, I'm a fish. What just happened? I was fish. We literally had to swallow.

I was fish, is what it's telling us. That is so strange. That's literally an aftertaste. Like, we swallowed it, and then we tasted fish. No fish at all. And then. after we swallowed it. So it's like. I'm doing it again. I'm not fish. Surprise. Balls. Nothing but peanut. Then --. Swallow it. Fish. Fish. I don't know what else to tell you. That's magic.

And then there was fish, I think is what it's called. Oh, and it's so strong. Fish. Yep. And what is this thing? This is, like. This is a fish stick. It's probably just a. This is fish up front. Fish up front. It looks like fish skin, but I. Fish up front. Fish in the middle. and fish on the backside. Oh, my gosh. Wow. It's, like, moving right through a fish. That is so strong. Oh, I love the design, too.

Oh, now, these are just shaped like fish. They don't taste like fish. I hope so. Is it said fish forward? I can't tell. These were so strong. You put this in your chowdha. I think there's a slight fish flavor. Slight fish. can't even pick up on it now. And I think the last one is just literally fish. Like pieces of fried fish. it's. Oh, my gosh.

What is this? 460 00:15:01,565 --> 00:15:01,100 Oh, no. Look, Link. That is a crab. Is it a shrimp? That is a crab's sternum. Oh, my gosh, y'all. That is a crab sternum. It's the actual complete. Can you see the little. intricate little details? This is just pieces of crab. It's a whole little crab. It's very crunchy. Why? It's good. That is good. Don't make that face. Make a happy face.

I'm scared. It's just crab bodies. It's very sweet. It's just crab bodies. It's not even crab legs. They got the legs somewhere else. What in the world? That's so good. We can get that right here in town. Hmm. All right. Ready? Three, two, one. You're not doing it. I think. this is from somewhere else because it's got.

the rattle in the middle. You don't think they can do that in Korea? They don't know anything in Korea. Yep. I'm just saying, I don't think it's come to Korea. Yeah, two different Koreas, two totally different... governments. I heard about that. The imposter snack is on plate number. three. Yes. You fell for it. But where is it from? You both still have your lifelines. Could be anywhere.

I'm gonna use my lifeline. Okay, let's show him the first letter. Oh, it's in a... Hmm. Some of the Manila envelope here. I feel like I might need to. also use my. lifeline. I'm trying to. He already won the round. Now he's got a double advantage. So this letter is the start of the. The imposter country. I'm gonna cover my mouth so that I don't actually make the sound,

because I feel like I'm about to make the sound. Okay, Rhett, you're not easing your lifeline. He's just eating him. All right. Okay. All right. Three, two, one. Tunisia. Turkiye. What are you saying a t for? Cause you were going t, t, t. inside your mouth. I mean,

how did you think I didn't hear you making a t sound? You were like, I'm gonna cover my mouth so no one will see me. But sounds are heard as well. You were literally going. no, but. I wasn't doing it that loud. Loud enough of me. Well, good news. The sneaky snack is from. Turkiye. They're. bollocks krackers. You fell for it. Krackers with a k. The other korean snacks were.

Orion peanut and squid balls. Squid. Huh? So the squid sneaks up on you. Nong shim black truffle shrimp chips. The shrimp chips, man. Shrimp --. They pack a punch. And then the last ones are. Tigok tagok. baby. Crab chips. It's a bit sad. I feel like I isn't really babies. Tigock. Tigock.

Fried crabs. Yeah, it definitely is. Ingredients. Dried crab. babies. It doesn't say babies. Don't think they have to say that. Manufactured in a facility that processes pollock. Oh, no. Oh, no. That changes everything. All right, moving on to drinks last here. Three of them are from the UK. One of them is not.

It's. something else, though. Aren't you glad we live in Los Angeles? Mm hmm. With access to all these wonderful things. So many things. This coke is off. Something happened with the orange, too. I don't know if I'm still tasting baby crabs. Well, we know that UK, they like to use the different kind of. They don't like to use corn syrup. Remember that? Yeah, they. They regulate their syrups a lot more. Than tastes like. suntan lotion.

Yeah, it's off. None of these are good so far. Now, that's good. Very good. Mmm hmm. That's a tangy. white. grape. Sparkling white grape. Something. What is it? This is like an energy drink.

It's red. Hmm... All right. Yeah, this is. This is a tough one. I'm. I'm going on a blind guess here. And I know you have the advantage. For the next. 3, 2, 1. Bam. Okay. I went with this one because I. Think it's just so. I think it might just be Welch's grape juice. But maybe it's scottish. But I think I might know what the last one is. I don't know. The imposter bevy is in glass number.

two. Ooh. The bad coke... and Rhett. You're going to use your. lifeline. So let us show you. the letter of the imposter country. I'll make the sound under my. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Sound it out for us. It tastes a little bit like root beer, but, like, really flat root beer. mixed in. One part that and then two parts.

Pepsi. It's like a doctor. flub. I will give you the opportunity to slightly cover your mouth. and make the noise repeatedly, if you would like. Here we go. Three, two, one. Sweden. Portugal. Were you doing a pee under your breath?

Yeah, but it was an s. You fell for it. The imposter drink is from. Slovenia. that was gonna be tough. You got the S right. It's called... something I think you're gonna like. Cockta. Oh, yeah. I love cockta. Yeah. Cockta. It's the finest herbal extract. That's a good logo. I do like the bottle. Even though it's mostly cock, do you have the cockta. Do you have.

That's how they say it in Slovenia. The other drinks are iron brew. Iron brew. from. UK. And then the one that you said. had white grape, it's called appletizer, so I'm thinking. not. Okay, sparkling apple juice. Yeah. I'm thinking not. And then the last one is Vimto fizzy, which I believe is a popular. beverage in the UK. Check out the cans on that.

chick. I thought that that tasted like that red drink from Ohio. What is that stuff called? I don't know. Red stuff from Ohio. Oh, yeah. Faygo. Like a faygo. Yeah, a faygo. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm sorry, Rhett. I love this one, though. You are going to have to be thoroughly investigated in Good Mythical More. Link's gonna be doing the investigating. Oh, no. Yes.
