Who Makes The Best Jalapeno Poppers? Taste Test

- Which jalapeño popper really pops off? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music). (sauce squelches). (spaceship whizzes). Good mythical summer. - French fries may be. the classic fried fast food side option, but it ain't the only option. We've seen chicken fries, tater tots, and also mac and cheese bites. - Yup. - And if a few more of you restaurants. put those on your menu, we can make that a taste test too. So get on it. We need the content. - Yes, we do.

But today we are guessing and ranking a fast food side item. that's spicy, cheesy, and might ravage the roof of your mouth. if you're not careful. The jalapeño popper. It's time for. Gettin' All Up In Yo Jalapeño Poppers: Taste Test. - Stevie, what's popping? That's what they say. - Today you'll be tasting. six different jalapeño poppers. from Carl's Jr, Arby's, Church's, Sonic, Jack in the Box, and Wienerschnitzel. - Okay. - [Stevie] You'll guess which popper came from where,

and then rank each on a scale of one to 10. You'll also have the option to use one lifeline. in the form of ranch dipping sauce. from the corresponding restaurant. - Oh. - [Stevie] Whoever loses will have their arms wrapped. in bubble wrap and popped by the winner. all throughout Good Mythical More. - Cool. - Sounds like everybody wins. - So is the idea that the ranch makes us, helps us think? - Yeah. - Little Ranch makes you think. - [Stevie] That's the idea. (upbeat music). - As you can see, we can. Because we have no idea.

what these jalapeño poppers at these restaurants. look like anyways, we don't need to be blindfolded. - Yes, but we do know that each popper. will be delivered to us on. the patent pending Popper Goes The Weasel. - [Link] He'll pop outta here, alright. - [Rhett] Yeah, this. - So we ready? - Yeah, we turn and... (soft music). Oh, (laughs) there we go. It took a while for it to pop out.

(gasps). (crew laughs). - Um, he's-. - But this is an animal. - Yeah, and he's holding a little jalapeño popper. - [Link] Oh, I thought that was still part of his fur. - Well, he definitely got some popper on his belly. - Get it? This is a weasel. - Yeah, yeah. I didn't need you explain it. - I've never actually seen a pop goes the weasel. with a weasel. I've actually only seen it with a clown. - Well, you can take it home with you. - [Link] 'Cause it was a jack-.

- Yeah. - In-the-box, which is one of the rounds. - Dink it and sink it. - Oh, gosh. All my pepper came out in my mouth. Is that what normally happens with these? I never order these. - You know what? It's one of my favorite sides. It is. They're just so good. I love spicy. I love cheese. I love fried. I just feel a little guilty. - That's some good cheese. That's a decent heat.

Hmm, hmm. - I mean, I don't know where we're going from here, but I quite enjoyed that. I mean, I'm gonna give it a seven. - Uh, I'm gonna be generous. I'll give it a nice little six. Where's it from though? - How is that generous? 'Cause six feels like-. - Because I usually would like to just start at a five. - Oh, okay. You're setting the scale. - It's gaining some heat on me. See, I still have mine to look at here. You want to go ahead and have your ranch, round one?

- No, because I got nothing to dip it in. It's too small. - See, I don't-. - [Stevie] Ready to guess? - I mean-. - Where would this breading be from? And is there anything else in this place. that might be breaded in this way? Jalapeño breeders. - I don't know how big these things are gonna get. - Wienerschnitzel? - You know, I've eaten at all these places. at a time or again. - Okay. - I gotta guess. - I'm ready.

- [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Jack in the Box. - Arby's. - I think we would start there. (upbeat music). Let's see if we can sync up this time. - Okay, three, two, one. - One. (soft music). - Oh. Mine opened that quick. - I mean, if they don't start synced-. If they don't stink start, if they don't start stinks-. (crew laughs). you can't stick 'em up. - Did you just call me stink? - If they don't start stink, you can't stink 'em up. - [Link] Link?

- If they don't start stink, stink. Look how big this one is. - It's a big one. - This is what I was hoping for. - And it's got more even breading than the last one. - Hmm. Does it smell like a restaurant? - Ooh, this is a much higher quality popper. I can see the complete pepper. - I saw the complete pepper the last time. - They're a little stingy with the cheese on this one.

- I don't know if this is a higher quality pepper. - Maybe it's not. - It's bigger. The cheese is not as good. - [Link] Yeah, okay, I guess you're right. - [Rhett] It's yellow cheese. It's yellow cheese, which is-. - I thought because the pepper seemed. more like an actual pepper than the last one. Pepper got lost last time. Too much pepper this time. I don't like this one as much, actually. (laughs) (crew laughs). I'm not-. - We just went on a little trip with Link. - The more I talk about it, the more I don't like it.

- A little trip with Link's brain. - [Link] I'm not-. - "This is a high quality popper, but on second thought, I hate it.". - I think I'm gonna give this-. - A what? A four? Is that what you were thinking? - I'm gonna give it a three. - Alright, 'cause I was thinking four. And I mean the pepper part, is the pepper, is it a high quality pepper? - [Link] 'Cause when you look at the cheese in that thing, it's kind of pasty. - I don't like the cheese. and I don't like the flavor of the breading.

- So who's going cheapest? Alright, I have my guess. - Well, they're pretty big though. - [Stevie] You ready? - Yeah. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Wienerschnitzel. - Carl's Jr. - He said Wienerschnitzel, I said Carl's Jr, for all those playing along at home. - What's the point of us saying it at the same time. if we gotta say it again separately? - Uh-. - So that we don't copy each other? Why would I copy you? You don't know anything about this. - [Stevie] Well, I mean usually you don't both. adopt an accent. (crew laughing). - Yeah, that was, just so we're clear, I did it because you said it in a German accent.

and I don't know how many Germans we got watching. - Wienerschnitzel. (laughs). (upbeat music). - Here we go. - Here we go. (soft music). - Uh! (crew laughs). Have you seen that movie Elf? - I think it's your favorite. - Best movie ever. - Of course I've seen it, just to make sure it's good. - Yep, yep. - Okay, guys, you've put the exact same popper. from the last round in here.

- No, mine looks like the popper from the beginning, which makes me think that poppers are all different. because peppers are all different. - I think it's a little smaller. Well, that's a good one. - What color's the cheese? - I mean-. - Hmm, okay. - It's a white cheese. - This is a high quality popper. The white cheese, which I don't know what that is, I'll just be honest with you-. - [Link] Ricotta. - It's not ricotta-. (crew laughs). Is the perfect combination for these. And that was a really good pepper. and I just happened to eat it all at once, so I've forgotten it already.

- Well, it's a cream cheese. - Yeah, it's a cream cheese. That's what it's supposed to be. - Oh, really? I honestly know so little about jalapeño poppers. - Well, you can make jalapeño poppers. in lots of different ways. There's no rules. It's not like there's a government agency. that tells you how you're supposed to make them, but I think that people who know what's up. put cream cheese in them. At least some cream cheese. - It's a totally different experience. than with the previous fake cheddar cheese in it. - It's so much better than that last one.

- I'm still thinking that the first one is better. than both of these in the last-. I'm gonna give this a five. - I don't know if I'm going back to a seven, 'cause I don't want the fact that there's a bigger pepper. to over-influence me. But your pepper was pretty big too. (crew laughs). Eight. - Now who's gonna go with cream cheese. versus some other type of orange-ish cheese? I feel like this is a little more sophisticated. Hmm, alright.

That's what's giving me my guess. - Alright. - What's giving you your guess? - Just instinct. - Okay. - [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Carl's Jr. - Arby's. So you did a double Carl's Jr guess. - I do double all the time. - Okay, alright. You just want to be right about Carl's Jr, why? - No, because I think that was either Carl's Jr or Arby's. I think you or I were right. And that was probably incorrect grammar. (upbeat music). Hey, y'all, it's that time of the month again.

- Our periods are happening. (crew laughs). - And we're also selling, for a limited time only, our pin of the month limited quantity collectible. This is only available for 24 hours. - [Link] When they're gone, they're gone, period! - [Rhett] This is the infamous pork blood taco. - That's right, it's got blood in it. Like a period. (crew laughs). - I mean, I thought that my joke was subtle, and then I thought that you kinda did. a nice little one up that really clarified.

for the people who didn't get my joke. And then I thought we were good. - Hey, man, pigs have periods too. - Now, you've really crossed the line twice. Get this at mythical.com. - My nose is itching. Get this-. Did I ruin it? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - 'Cause somebody out there's on their period. and they're like, "Well, I guess I gotta get this pin.". - Nothing wrong with it. It's a part of life. - No one thought that you were saying. there was something wrong with it. (crew laughs). You just revealed something that you think about periods.

that you then projected to everyone else. "Nothing wrong with periods, man.". - No, I'm just saying-. - You're like a Levitical priest. - Send the woman outside of the village for seven days. (crew laughs). - It's a beautiful-. - No one was thinking there was a problem with it. (crew laughs). Let's just eat our jalapeño poppers. - I'll tell you, my dog loves periods. (soft music). (soft music) (crew laughs). - I would say my appetite has been adjusted, but I have no problem with periods.

(crew laughs) (soft music). - Look at that. Look at that weasel. Oh, gosh. I can't-. - I apologize to whichever restaurant this round is, because your logo is now associated with periods. Because we put their logo up, right? Right? That's how this works. - It's kind of, the breading's kind of warty. Not genital warts.

- Just so you all know, I'm done. (crew laughs). - Where's the pepper in this one? - I'm done with the joke. - Where's the pepper? The pepper-. - Hey, if you ever think anything about me, just remember, at this point, I said I was done. I do something else that makes you hate me, just remember this moment, I was done. - I was done with periods. I had moved on to genital warts. (Rhett groans). They had nothing to do with each other, except a loose association with genitals, which are beautiful. (crew laughs).

- No one's got a problem with them. Least of all, me. (laughs). - There is no- - This is horrible. - Whoa, hold on now. - What? - It's important to note- - Uh-huh. - That unlike every other jalapeño popper, this just has pieces of pepper. There's no actual pepper. - I thought I macerated it with my mouth. - Yeah, you ate so much. - I'm gonna need some ranch. I wanna do my lifeline. I've still got a little bit of popper. - [Link] That right there is just pieces of pepper, so it's more about the fry and the cheese.

- It's very hot, but everything else about it is not great. - Unless you don't like pepper. - And like you said, this is somebody really, really cutting the corners. - Mm-hmm, it definitely is. - Yeah. We'll see if I learn anything from this ranch. - So who doesn't want-. If you don't like peppers but you want a jalapeño popper, then you would like this one. - Nothing, pretty good ranch though. - And the container's not a hint.

- No, this is a Mythical container. - Okay. So what do you give this? You hate it? - I give it a three. - I don't hate it. - If you set a bunch of 'em in front of me at a party, I'd eat all of them. - 'Cause the cheese is not bad. - But on a scale of one to jalapeño popper, I'm giving it a three. - I'm actually gonna give it a six, 'cause I'm not as big on the pepper part of. a jalapeño popper. - (laughs) Yeah, that makes sense.

- I never judge your opinions. (crew laughs). - Yeah, because I never say things like. "I'm not so big on the jalapeño part of a jalapeño popper.". I just wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say it, man. - It's better that way. It's like I like apple pies without apple chunks. - Yeah, and you also like chocolate chip cookies. without chocolate chips. - Yeah. - Your opinion is not reliable. - But at least it's specific. - Yeah. - [Stevie] You ready to guess? - Yeah.

- [Stevie] Three, two, one. - Wienerschnitzel. - Church's? It's a good guess. (upbeat music). - Let's wind it up. - Wind it up. (soft music). - Hello. - Weasel. - Whoa! - Dang, son. - [Rhett] I still got it. - And how did that, oh. - Yeah, I mean, he decided he was tired of being held down. - Look at that, y'all. Look at what could have happened.

I guess when you-. - This is pretty dinky. They gotta use that for the next round. - Well, it's not working-. We just discovered it's never really worked great anyway. I'm disappointed in this weasel. - I'm not. I love it. - So the breading on this thing is hard.

See, same thing. Jalapeño bits but no actual pepper in there. - Oh, this is horrible. - We're being deceived once again. In the shape of a pepper, but no actual pepper shape underneath. - Now, I can see why somebody would cut this corner, because actually having a whole jalapeño. that you're having to fill with stuff, it's a lot of work. - But the last one where they cut a corner, I still like the taste. This one, it's really hot but-.

- There's hardly any jalapeño. Hardly any in mine. How much is in yours? - [Link] About the same as last time. - I mean, hardly any. I guess I ate some. - Yeah, you need start- - I don't know. - You need to bite it in half. - No, I took several bites and I looked along the way. It tastes bad, the breading's bad, the cheese is bad. - The cheese is not as good. This is the worst one so far. - One. - Yep, I agree. I give this a one. So who's really, okay, I'm gonna try again. - [Stevie] Ready? Three, two, one.

- Jack in the Box. - Church's. - There ain't no way. Jack in the Box would skimp like this, man. I know that their menu's as wide as the Gulf of Mexico, but they've got pride. (crew laughs). - Alright, okay, sorry, Jack in the Box. Sorry to Jack and his box. (upbeat music). Last one. (soft music). - Okay. - Whoa, whoa.

Are you having trouble? - No, I just want him to know who's in charge here. You little weasel. - [Rhett] You want the weasel to know? - So this is-. I think they're all made by the same company, shipped out to all these different places, and then they're fried a little bit differently. It is possible. - We're back to measly-. Whoa, that's got a heat though. - You know, the last three in a row have all just been. bits of pepper. - Yeah, but there's way more jalapeño in this one.

And that could just be inconsistency across the product. But this is very similar to the last one, but the jalapeño flavor is stronger, hotter. - See, I still have the last one. I don't know if that's cheating or anything. - You also have the-. - [Link] They're exactly the same. - [Rhett] You also have the ranch lifeline. - Yeah, bring it in. Oh, here it is. Thank you. I'm just gonna taste it with my finger first. Mm.

I have not had this ranch, so this does give me a hint. - This is a little bit better than the last one. I'm gonna give it a two. - This ranch has Italian dressing mixed in it. That's what this tastes like. - Hmm. - It's not a good ranch. - Hmm. - [Link] Have you guessed Sonic? - I haven't, 'cause I kind of forgot that it was a guess. - Me neither. Going into this, I would've thought that Sonic was the best one. I kept waiting for one to be really great. It never happened. - But why is the ranch almost orange?

Is that Sonic ranch? Sonic Ranch is orange? - No. Well, I didn't want you to benefit from my hint. - Well, you shouldn't have let me see your ranch. - Well, but I've already said it. It's bad ranch. - It's bad ranch. - Who has bad ranch? - It's an off-color ranch. - Mm. - Okay, it's bad. - [Stevie] ] Did you give a rating? - Oh, no. The pepper, even though I think it's exactly the same as the last round, I'm gonna give it a two because the pepper is more peppery.

- [Stevie] Okay. - Yeah. I already gave it a two. - Oh, you did? Okay, I'm ready. - [Stevie] Here we go. Three, two, one. - Wienerschnitzel. - Church's. - Turd case? - Turd case, yeah. - Is that what you said? - I said Church's. No, I didn't get Sonic for any round. Did you? - Results time. Nope. - [Stevie] Okay. So before I tell you how many you got correct, you actually had a tie for first place. between Jack in the Box and Arby's.

- [Link] Oh. - [Stevie] Jack in the Box was the first one you had though, so I don't know how much that influences your-. - So Arby's was the one that I really liked. - I stand by it, - [Stevie] Arby's was the one you really liked, and Jack in the Box was the one. that you like collectively gave. some of your highest scores to. Rhett, you got one correct. (bell dings) - Boom. - Good work, man, on that one. (crew laughs). You did really good work.

- [Stevie] Link, you got three correct. - Hey! - I was using my fast food logic. - [Stevie] Oh, that's the end of the sentence. that you were gonna say? (crew laughs). - Yeah, you seemed like you were gonna say something else. - Yeah, yeah. I started thinking stuff that wasn't worth saying. - Okay, so the best two-. - And I'm really trying to learn from my mistakes. - Were, you said, Arby's and Jack in the Box. - [Stevie] Jack in the Box, yep. - It was gonna be about periods. - [Stevie] Oh, okay. Well, I'm glad that you didn't finish that statement.
