Today, our tongues go sugar-free. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) – Good mythical morning! – If you’re not a member of the mythical society, you are missing out on tons of exclusive content, Discord chat room, vlogs, and live streams from us, permanent discounts on the store! – Mm-hmm. – And, incredible collector’s items you cannot get anywhere else. Join up at mythicalsociety.com, people! – Halloween was two weeks ago, but if you’re like me, you’re still popping fun-sized Kit Kat’s like Tic Tacs. – Oh yeah. – You got a perpetual tummy ache and you’re desperately in need of something, anything, to destroy your craving for that sweet, sweet sugar high. – Now back when we did our 300th episode, we tried a special pill that made not so sweet things taste sugary. – Mm-hmm. – Well today, over 1300 episodes later, we’re trying the opposite, an ancient herb that ruins the taste of all things sweet. – And this is not a prank, right? – No, Link, this is not, (audience laughing) no, this is definitely not a prank, I promise you. – We’ve been down that road. Okay. – It’s time for “Can We Guess That Sugary Treat “When We Delete The Flavor Of Sweet “From Our Precious Tongue Meat?” – Tongue meat. – Gymnema sylvestre. – Yes? – Oh– (laughing) Also known as gurmar, or (mumbles). (laughing) Or sugar destroyer. – Hmm? – Is a climbing, woody vine. – I gotta keep saying yes, ’cause it just keeps working. – It’s been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years, and it is commonly used to treat diabetes and reduce the risk of heart disease. So today, we’re trying it to test its claim, that it makes sweet foods taste nasty, by blocking the sugar receptors on your tongue meat. – Hmm. – Really? – Okay, yeah, we haven’t tried this before. The Mythical crew has done some tests, and they determined that the best way to maximize the herb’s effect, for our non-medical purposes, was to take a lozenge with sugar destroyer in it, and also swish some tea made from the leaves. – Swish. – So I’m swished, we’ve already swished some of this tea, we’ve got it and we’re gonna continue swishing it. And this is what the lozenge looks like right here. – Yeah, dissolve one Sweet Defeat, not a sponsor, on your tongue immediately after any meal or snack. Use two to three times daily? – Minty. – Or more! As needed, plant-based, natural ingredients. – Thanks for reading every word on it. (laughs) – I’m gonna let it dissolve on my tongue, we’re gonna don blindfolds and see if we can identify the presumably sweet items, and we only get one taste and one guess. When Stevie prompts us, the points are gonna increase each round and then Stevie is gonna decide whoever’s closest get those points. – The loser will have to eat and unsweetened snow cone on Good Mythical Morning. Mm-mm, now let’s destroy some sugar! Round one! – Round one! As you can see, we can’t. – Now, because the sugar destroyer only messes with the flavor but not the texture, the crew has played around with the texture as to further confuse us, so that’s one thing to keep in mind. – Are you suspicious? – Uh– – You’ve made me suspicious over the years. – Suspicious that this is a prank, or suspicious this won’t work, or what? – Just that it, how well it will work. – I don’t know, only one way to find out. Feed us. – Let’s do it. – Oh. – It just tastes like dirt. – It tastes like, yeah like– – It’s like I’ve eaten a sand castle. – Straight into a sand castle, but the consistency makes me think I’m in kitty litter. (Link clearing throat) Well that’s super nasty. – I also think, this is the first time that Rhett’s never taken the full bite off of the spoon. – Yeah, it’s not– – Hey, it works, man! – It does, it– – Sugar destroyer works! – It definitely works. – You ready to try and guess? – I’m walking on the beach, oh look, there’s a sand castle, whoo! (audience laughing) Just get the, lemme get the pinnacle, whoo! Oh my gosh. – Okay, I then need a guess in three, two, one– – Brownie? – Yams. Oh, brownies. – What did you say, Link? – He said yams. – Yams? – You know, like sweet yams! – You know, sweet yams, you don’t know them! – [Stevie] You can take off your blindfold. – Oh. (audience laughing) Freakin’ Ho-Hos? – There’s nothing in front of me! What, this is it? Crumb! Yo, Ho-Hos. Ho-Hos is like brownies. – Yeah, so Rhett gets the point. – There’s a little, – Yeah, you know, it’s not a yam, that’s for sure. (Rhett laughing) I can definitely, I can– – The consistency. – It makes sense, but it ain’t good. – It had a cakey consistency but it was not sweet, and I wouldn’t wanna eat a whole Ho-Ho if my mo-mo tasted like this. (audience laughing) Round two! – Round two! – All right, let’s taste some more stuffs. – It’s a miracle, man. – Oh, what? (audience laughing) – Oh, it’s a straw. – Oh, it’s a straw. – Fizzy, it’s like Alka-Seltzer. – It tastes like– – It tastes like a– – When the soft drinks have gone bad, when you go up– – Well, mine’s pretty fizzy. – No, I’m saying like, they didn’t put the syrup inside of the stuff. – The flavor didn’t come out. – Yeah. – Yeah, so it’s like, yeah– – Something’s wrong with this, can I see the manager? – You need to charge it with some, with the Coke. I’m at a loss as to what to guess, cause it’s working so well. – [Stevie] You have three seconds to decide. – Okay, uh– – Three, two, one– – Sprite? – Sprite. – Oh. – Oh, man! – [Stevie] Oh wait, wait, don’t! I mean you’re gonna have to tie on this one, then. Take off your blindfold. – What? – [Stevie] You guessed the same thing! – Yeah, we did. – But it’s Mountain Dew! – You both get zero points. (game buzzer buzzing) – You were gonna let us choose again? – Yeah, I was gonna let you choose again, I was gonna– – Mountain Dew! – Be nice about it. (audience laughing) – Um, it– – Mountain Dew tastes like Sprite when you can’t taste the sweetener in it. – Wow. – Which, what does that say about Sprite? Round three! – Round three! – As you know, we’ve been doing an experiment throughout this week, asking you to, if you actually like this video– – Like it. – To actually click the like button, as in a little experiment to see what kind of effect that has on things. – We will let you know, once we come to conclusions, but again, we just wanna ask you, especially if you’ve never liked a video and you do like this one, just click the like! Go ahead and do it, if we can get a lot more participation, we stand to learn some stuff. So thank you for being a part of that experiment. Now let’s continue this experiment. – Yes, open. – Open. Crunchy. Um. – Um. (audience laughing) – Um. – Um. – Gurmar. – Yes. (laughing) – What are you tasting? – Dryness. – It’s so bland. I mean, it’s like, it’s just freakin’, it’s like I’m eating styrofoam. – It’s like, it tastes like something that is being processed into something else, but before it was completely processed they were like, “Would you like to taste it at stage two?” You know what I’m sayin’? Like, this is at a stage in which it will get good at some point. – Right, right, like the good stuff hadn’t been added. Like the sugar. – Um… – I think– – Huh. – I think I’m feeling, I think I’m– – The texture does, give me some things, though. – Are you ready? – Even though it was changed. Yeah, I’ve got a guess. – Yeah, I– – [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one. – Cinnamon Toast Crunch. – Cheerios. Is it Honey Nut– – You guys are like all over it, so take off your blindfolds. – Yeah, I, oh, Apple Jacks. – Apple Jacks. – [Stevie] I’m gonna give this to Link because of the shape. (dinging noise) – Yeah, same shape. – Okay. – But even though they destroyed it where it was not that shape. So, the interesting thing is, I didn’t get any hint of apple-ness or cinnamon-ness. It not only took away sugary-ness, but you guessed Cinnamon Toast Crunch, though, so. There is a cinnamony-ness in Apple Jacks. – ‘Cause cinnamon is all I tasted, ’cause cinnamon is not sweet. Cinnamon, it– – Yeah, okay. – Cinnamon got through– – I didn’t pick up on that. – To my tongue, and so I said Cinnamon Toast Crunch. – [Stevie] Oh, are we saying that you should both get a point, then? – You know what, I wanna give Rhett… – Look at that, it’s got, there’s a cinnamon stick on the freakin’ box. – Rhett already has a point. – Give me a point. – Yeah. – No, I’ll keep the point. (audience laughing) – Well, you get three points. – Oh, it’s three? – ‘Cause it’s third round, third round. – I’ll give him one of my points. (dinging noise) – Oh, okay, thank you, Link. – ‘Cause I didn’t, I didn’t pick up on the cinnamon at all. Round four! – Round four! Okay. – Hit me. Oh, mm. – This is chewy. This could be cat crap for all I know. – It’s amazing how much it tastes like dirt. – Well, the consistency is very mushy. It doesn’t taste, this one doesn’t taste bad ’cause you know I like dirt. And it does, it’s like I’m eating a chunk of clay. I mean, just reaching down into a lake bed, been dried up for about 36 minutes. And just biting a big hunk of what’s left. – And it really dissolves in a nice way, did you notice? I mean, Gurmar really noticed how much it dissolved. – Oh yeah? – Gurmar impressed with how it dissolved. – Yeah, it’s gone, man. That clay is gone, uh. – Um. – All right, I’m formulating a guess though, ’cause. – I definitely sense one predominant ingredient, but that doesn’t tell me what it is. – I think I know what it is, but. – [Stevie] Let’s try it, three, two, one. – Milky Way? – Fudge. Chocolate fudge. (audience laughing) – [Stevie] Okay, you can take off your blindfolds. I’m gonna have to give this one to Rhett. – Oh, Three Musketeers! I narrowed it down to either Three Musketeers or Milky Way! – And you were going off of consistency more than taste, right? – No. One of the things that seems to be happening, is the longer that it’s in your mouth, the more it begins to be tasted. And because that one was so chewy, it stayed in my mouth longer. And so by the end, I think I actually tasted it with my throat, is that possible? (audience laughing) Round five! – Round five! This is worth five points. – Anybody’s game. – Ay, ya, ya, ya. – Oh, here we go. – Uh, now don’t swish it in your mouth too much. – I didn’t swish it in my mouth at all. – Just swallow it. – Oh, I think we may have been poisoned. (audience laughing) – I think my insides– – That’s it. – Are totally being cleaned out. – We’ve been poisoned. – Oh, man. – What could that– – We’re not supposed to drink Lysol, what is that? It’s lemony, I definitely have… – Wow, there is no indication. – There was no fizzyness. It is not the type of thing that, I would not like to drink this on a birthday or any special occasion. – On a birthday, why you gotta… What do you like to drink on your birthday? – Like, special stuff, like oh. – You know, this isn’t really a birthday drink. – I’m saving something, something sugary. – All the birthday drinks. (Rhett laughing) Okay, I’ve got an answer. – [Stevie] Okay, three, two, one. – Lemonade. – Orange juice? – [Stevie] Take off your blindfold. – Gatorade! – Oh my gosh. – [Stevie] It is lemon. (dinging noise) – Yep, lemon-lime bro, it ain’t orange-lime. – I was the one who said lemon. – Yeah. – ‘Cause you still taste the lemon, but then I, all right, that’s fine. I can catch up. – Actually, you can’t. (laughs) Round six! – Round six! Hey Rhett, remember way back when? I don’t know if you remember this, but I gave you one of my points? – Yeah, I appreciate that. – I was wonderin’ if maybe you’d consider giving me 10 points. (Rhett laughing) (audience laughing) – Okay, if you can guess exactly right, whatever this thing is exactly, and I get it wrong, then I’ll give you ten points. – All right, but I’m not giving you any lemon hints this time. – Okay. – Action. – Oh my gosh. – What is this? (Link and Rhett gagging) (Rhett spitting) – Ugh! Gimme the, gimme that! (Link spitting) – Uh, oh God! – Not funny, not sweet! What the, what the crap was that! – Bah! Nah, there was nothing sweet about that at all! Why, why! – I’m not giving you any hints, I’m not saying nothing ’cause I’m still trying to win for some reason. – Okay, uh. – Even though my entire inner world is in disarray. – I mean, I’ve got a guess just based on what my body just told me. – Okay? – It’s metallic! – Three– – It’s just metal! – Two, one. – Blood! – No, it was, it’s liver! It’s liver! – Okay, take off your blindfolds. It’s stevia-coated liver, but it is liver. So I don’t know what exactly means. – I think Link gets 10 points. (dinging noise) (audience laughing) – I don’t want ’em. (game buzzer buzzing) – It tasted– (audience laughing) – I don’t want your points. – It tasted so much worse than liver taste, and so much more metallic, that I had to go all the way to blood. The consistency was just– – No, well, you know, when you can’t taste sweet and then you put something sweet on liver, you know what you’re left with? Liver. – Liver. – That was bad, but this is, this is a miraculous tea! (Rhett laughing) Is it tea? – Yeah it is, it’s tea. – All right so, again, we wanna encourage you guys to like as part of our experiment.
