GMM 1282.2: Snackaging: Russian Food Edition

( music playing ) Snackaging is when you look a the packaging of a snack to determine what it is, and if you will like it. A tool that is very handy when travelling in a foreign country. Today, we’re travelling in Russia. Mm-hmm. This is the most intricate label I’ve ever seen. Who are these two gentlemen? And how can we be their best friend? Okay, but down here, right here at the bottom. We’ve got… sunflower seeds. – Yeah, these are sunflower seeds. – I mean. These are the most hyped sunflower seeds – on the planet. – But they’re 3D. – Isn’t all snacks 3D? – Except fruit roll-ups. Oh, there’s… I mean. The outside is so exciting and then the inside… There’s just black sunflower seeds. It’s just– Mm-hmm. Did you just randomly spit those on our rug? Yeah. This is a can of something that you hold upside down. Oh, gosh. – First of all– – There’s a ship on it. I don’t think anything in a can is a snack, man. I’m going with this is some sort of part of a fish. – Like a fish liver. – I don’t see any fish anywhere, I just see a ship. ( reading Russian) ( mispronouncing Russian ) That’s gonna help. Oh. Ah, dang it, I just poured it on the rug. Ooh. It’s an organ. It looks like a fish heart. – I was right. – Cod liver? I was right. I told you it was a freaking fish liver. Who would snack on that? This is like a can of horse radish? Like a jar. This is mushroom mayonnaise. What if it’s mushroom marshmallow? Ooh, marshmallow fluff? Ooh, it’s thick like glue. It’s mushroom cheese. Oh, wow. It’s not bad. Way to go, Russia. Next, a bar of sorts. It’s got a happy, happy giant, looking down at a mini, mini wizard. I think that’s God. Maybe this is a protein bar. You eat this and you become– A giant. Or maybe it shrinks – you down into a small – little wizard. – It’s chocolate. – Ooh. – It’s good, whatever it is. So, are we right or are we right? – Giant King. – King. Man, he’s so big. I’d hate to have an intimate encounter with him. Intimate. Now, we got a drinky drink. It’s green, it’s got another language on it. It’s probably Russian. It’s got a bird. Oh, I’m not gonna open it yet. And it’s got flowers. So this could be the product of a bird, like bird juice of some kind. Bird juice. Both: It smells like licorice. – I’m gonna love it. – Uh, I hope it’s not licorice. – Ugh. It tastes– – It’s not licorice. It tastes like bad cough syrup. Tarragon soda? Aww, it’s a “widdle” baby head. Don’t make light of this, this could be baby. Right, sorry. This is baby taffy. You give this to babies when they’re teething. When you’re done with them. The packaging is very interesting, it’s because you can give this to a baby and even a stupid little baby can figure out how to get into this. Right. Ooh, ooh, ooh! – ( snap ) – Did you break it? So, I’m gonna say this has no chocolate on it. Uh, no, you were wrong. – Oh, God. – It’s chocolate. ( laughs ) This is better than the other thing. Is there baby in this? – For baby? – For babies? Well, who’s baby is this? Another bar of some kind. – It’s cold, Rhett. – It must have ice cream in it. With an elf baby as the O. Literally smoking a singular dandelion. I think that it is a ice cream bar. It’s some sort of mint. Uh, mint, and I think this is mint ice cream filled chocolate log. Oh, gosh. Are you detecting any mint? No, it tastes like cheesecake. Cheesecake? Ugh. This is the most horrible ice cream I’ve ever eaten. Like a cannoli. A Russian cannoli. Stay in your lane, Russia. I can’t say that I’m enthusiastic about Russian snacks after all that, but– – Let’s do this again. – Yeah.
