GMM 2046: Blind Fast Food Milkshake Taste Test

Which milkshake brings these two specific boys to the yard? – Let’s talk about that. (driving synthesizer music) (flames crackling) “Good Mythical Morning.” – Milkshakes. Are they a form of ice cream or are they more of a dense beverage? Or are they, as Adam Driver would call it, good soup. – I call them ice cream smoothies. Sometimes I call them cold, chunky sweet milk. And sometimes I call them my cup of cold thick boys. – Okay, well you’re alone in that. No one has ever called a milkshake any one of those three things. But whatever you call it, we’ve been meaning to do this very important taste test for a long time. So it’s time for slurpin’ ’til it hurts and burpin’ chocolate burps, which milkshake will be the one to come in first? – We’re gonna be testing six different milkshakes from six fast food restaurants. – They are McDonald’s. – Burger King. – Shake Shack. – Five Guys. – Carl’s Jr. – And Jack in the Box. – And for today, we’re gonna be sticking with chocolate milkshakes across the board because chocolate, come on. – We’re gonna be competing to see who can correctly match the most chocolate milkshakes to their respective fast food restaurants. You feeling good about this? – Oh, I love milkshakes. – That might be tough, though. We’re also gonna be scoring on a scale of one to 10 and combining those to determine the best tasting milkshake. – Now, whoever guesses the most milkshakes correctly will receive a full set of shiny spoon straws that we’re calling spraws, y’all. – Woo. (bright music) (logos whooshing) – As you can see, we can’t. – Each milkshake will be brought to our mouths using the patent pending handshake. – All right. – Let’s bring it in. (Link sucking in air loudly) – Mm-hmm. – Mm, the straw is so soft. Man, that’s so soft. That’s all I can think about was how soft the straw was. – Silicone straw. – Thank you. – And let me tell you, I don’t know if it’s ’cause it’s the first milkshake, but sometimes that first milkshake is the best milkshake. – That’s a good milkshake. – That’s a good milkshake. – They’re using real- – That’s a good milkshake. – They’re using real syrup. – I don’t know if I have the strength to do it. – Okay, I have a guess. – (sighing) Hold on, crap. I can’t even remember- – Hold on, crap. – Who these are from. – You want the acronym? – It was kind of watery, though. Didn’t you observe that? – The thickness- – It was a little melty. Is that because it’s been here? – A little to be desired, but it’s all gonna turn into liquid in your body anyway. – Okay. I’m ready. This is tough. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Carl’s Jr. – Burger King. Ah, we both went for something that we don’t think we’ve ever gotten- – I don’t think I’m gonna be good at this. – A shake from these places. – But I think that Carl’s Jr. uses real Hershey syrup and that’s what I tasted. – Oh. – Now I actually thought this was pretty good. It tasted like a homemade milkshake. I’m gonna give it a seven. I liked it. – Well, it’s better than I think it actually is, so I’m gonna give it a six. – Okay, well, better than you think it actually- – No, I mean, it wasn’t as good as I thought it was. (camera crew talking indistinctly) – Still unclear. (bright music) (logos whooshing) – Hit me with that fist. (Link sucking in air loudly) Hmm. – Hmm, this straw is still so great. – [Stevie] It’s so difficult to tell what size the glasses are because the delivery mechanism’s so large. – That is a chocolatey chocolate. That’s more chocolate. – It tastes so similar to the first one, but a little bit more chocolatey. – No, I would say it’s demonstrably more chocolate. – Demonstrably? – I bet it’s three shades darker than the previous one. – I think I got, maybe I hit a little chocolate spot on the first one because I really liked it. I actually liked the other one better than this one. And I like this one less than than I thought I would. – I don’t understand your system. (camera crew laughing) – What is it, though? Okay, I got a guess. – I really don’t have much to go on. – Do you remember the list? – Oh, I remember the list. – Okay. Well then just choose one. – Okay. I’ve got a guess. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Jack in the Box. – Five Guys. – You think they’re doing the chocolatey thing at Five Guys? – I think they went too hard with the chocolate and for that reason I’m giving it a five. – I think I don’t like it as much as the other one, but it tastes so similar. I’m gonna give it a six. – Okay. – [Stevie] You’re falling into Link’s scoring system. (Rhett laughs) – What do you mean? – Like saying things that don’t make sense. – I get it. I get it. (camera crew laughing) (bright music) (logos whooshing) Hi, I’m Link in plushy form. And you do Rhett’s voice. – Hi, I’m Rhett in plushy form. – They talk, and if you want these things- – [Link Doll] Snot Mike up puffed he. – [Rhett Doll] Be your mythical best. – They say lots of things. – [Rhett Doll] Woman’s heart through a worm’s anus. – Oh, you wanna get these? Well, you need to be a third degree member of the Mythical Society by October 31st. That’s if you’re gonna be monthly. If you wanna be a quarterly or annual, you can wait a little bit longer to December 31st. But come on, go ahead. Do it. – [Link Doll] Good Mythical Morning. – Mythicalsociety.com. – Yes. – All right, now milk us or shake us. Just don’t break us. – Oh. Ooh, there it was. – Huh? – [Link] Mm. – Now this is different- – Good gracious. Okay. – This is totally different. This is totally different. – Wow, that is so good. I would want to keep drinking it, but the straw is no longer in my mouth. I don’t know. – Now you say it’s, (Link and crew laughing) you say it’s you say it’s so good. – Wow, I mean, this is like freaking chocolate ice cream. – That’s what I was gonna say. It doesn’t taste like a milkshake in that they put ice cream and then they put syrup. It tastes like they use chocolate ice cream to make it. – Yes. – Which I think it makes it better. – So good. I have a guess. – Hold on a second. – I have a guess. – You want me to hold on my guess? Sure. – I’m ready. I’m ready. – All right. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Shake Shack. – Five Guys. – Oh, I forgot about Shake Shack. – I think it was Shake Shack. – Friggin’ shake is in the name of the place. – And I’m gonna give that an eight. That’s a good milkshake. I mean, it’s not perfect, but it’s good. – I might give it a nine, man. That was splendid. And I’m hoping that Five Guys is actually out-shaking the Shake Shack. – They might be. Five Guys does a lot of things right. I mean, they got Five Guys. – Well, one of them is a peanut dude. – Right. (bright music) (logo whooshing) (Link yawning) (Link smacking his lips together) – Oh, there it is. – Hm. – All right. I know where this is from. – That’s pretty good. It tastes pretty nostalgic. – It’s strange, actually. – It tastes like something that is like, somebody had an idea for a milkshake and then a scientist created another idea to approximate the idea. – And then kept insisting. “This is what you wanted. This is what you asked for.” – I think I might know where this is from. – [Stevie] Like it tastes fake? – A little. Yeah. – It tastes like a creation of a scientist. – Yeah, like the last one, it just felt like I’m eating ice cream. This one is like I’m eating scientist. – I’m eating a scientist. – [Stevie] Okay. Three, two, one. – [Both] McDonald’s. – It’s gotta be McDonald’s, right? – It’s gotta be. It’s got a fluffiness to it that is that it’s always been in shake form. It was never in milk or ice cream form. – It was born a shake. – Yeah. – It came right out of the womb. Just a shake, right out of the womb. Like (imitating whooshing). – And that’s why I’m gonna give it a three. – I don’t think it’s bad. – ‘Cause I’ve had three kids. (crew laughing) – I like it. I’m gonna give it five. – Well, fine. – Yeah. (bright music) (logos whooshing) – Hey, Rhett, remember when we used to do this on the show all the time and then we stopped doing it, ’cause I think we ran out of- – Eat milkshakes,? – Like blindfolded like this? – No. It’s like I’m tasting nostalgia. (Link sucking in air loudly) That’s how I nursed as a baby, Lucas. – Man, don’t give me that mental picture. (crew laughing) – I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. – It’s good. This is a classic American milkshake. You know what I’m saying? Again, the scientists that make this. – This is good. – Someone’s grandma made this. – This is good. – There might even be an egg in it. – I don’t know why I didn’t think it was good. – Did your mom put a Rocky egg? My mom would put a Rocky egg. And I say Rocky egg because Rocky put eggs in his milkshake, for those of you who don’t understand that reference. – You’re talking about a raw egg, not an egg from Iraq? – She would crack an egg in our milkshakes as a kid. And I was just like, “I’m Rocky.” – My Nana would do that. – Did you like it? Do you know it was happening? – I didn’t like the idea of it. (Link smacking lips together) I’m trying to think about what my answer is. – Don’t make milkshake tasting noises, please. – All right, I think I know this one. I’m ready. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Five Guys. – Shake Shack. – Okay, so we’re on similar- – So I said Five Guys when you Shake Shack, you said Shake Shack, when I said Five Guys. – We’re gods incarnate. – We’re probably gonna be right. One of ’em’s gonna be right. The other one’s gonna be wrong. It’s gonna be right and wrong. – We can both be wrong. – I like this. It’s solid. It’s not great. – We both can’t be right, but we can both be wrong. It’s a seven. – Oh, I agree, a seven. – Oh, you didn’t have to agree just to make me feel good. – I hope you don’t feel good. – Okay. (bright music) (logos whooshing) – I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Caucasian Hulk for letting us use his hands today. – No, don’t you remember? This is the Ed Norton version of Hulk. He just stayed white when he got bit. – Oh, he did? – You remember that? – I don’t remember that. – Yeah. (Link sucking in air loudly) – Ugh, this one is thick. – This is the closest we’re ever gonna get to being like twins who each had a teat. A lot of people think we’re brothers. We are a lot like brothers. – We can get closer. – But we’ve never nursed the same woman at the same time. – No, we haven’t, Rhett. – Who could that be? – There’s probably lots of volunteers. – Oh, really? Can we do like a GoFundMe? – Maybe it’s a raffle. (laughs) – [Stevie] Guys. Guys. – Stevie, is this a bad idea? – [Stevie] If you could only see my face right now. – Okay. – So you’re saying a raffle for a woman- – You’re not volunteering. – For a woman to volunteer- – Just to be clear. – [Stevie] Oh, can we- – It’s a bad idea. – I mean, not as bad- – Is it as bad of an idea as Caucasian Hulk? – as what Link just said. – Which is worse, Caucasian Hulk or both of us nursing the same woman at the same time? – But not Stevie. – Go over to our Twitter – You’re like a sister to us, Stevie. – and answer. – You’re like a younger sister. I don’t know how you see us, but that’s how we see you. – Also, she’s not lactating, so it doesn’t make any sense. – [Stevie] What I was gonna do is I was gonna pretend like that was never said, but, your- (Rhett laughing) and three? Two? – Hold on, hold on. – I’m just gonna go with the one thing I haven’t guessed. I don’t know how I feel about this milkshake. – [Stevie] Well, wait, actually I do wanna know how you feel about the milkshake, ’cause you said it’s thick, but then you got into other stuff. – I’ll rate it first, if you want me to. – [Stevie] No. – Okay. – [Stevie] Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. – Okay, okay, sis. – [Stevie] But do you like it? – I thought it was just middle of the road. It was middle of the road. – No. – I haven’t had a bad milkshake today. – Whenever I do rate it, I’ll probably give it a four, but I reserve the right to change my answer, because it’s not time for that. – I’ll probably give it a six, but hold your horses. – Right. (laughs) – Guess in three, two, one. – Burger King. – Jack in the Box. – Burger King. – Can we remove? – [Stevie] No, no, no. Now I’ll take your rating. – Oh. – Six. – I’m gonna give it a four. (crew laughing) Can we remove? – [Stevie] No, wait, Rhett hasn’t- – Oh, I said six. – [Stevie] Oh, you did? – Yeah, I told you I was gonna say it. – [Stevie] Okay. Yeah, you can remove. Okay, how do you feel about how you did? – I think there is a chance I got zero. I think there was a chance I got one. And then I think there’s a really, really, really low chance that I got more than one right. That’s how I feel right now. – I think that you already know how we did and it makes me feel weird that I don’t know, so I’m gonna be humble and say not that great, but I think I did pretty great. – Oh, you think you beat me? – Definitely. – [Stevie] Rhett, you got one correct. – (laughs) You jerk! You loser! – So at least you got the answer correct of how many you thought you got correct. – Oh yeah, yeah, that’s a silver lining. – That means that you got three, maybe four right. That’s my guess. – [Stevie] Well, Link, you got one correct as well. – (laughs) We both got McDonald’s, that’s the only one. – [Stevie] No, you guys didn’t even get McDonald’s. – [Both] What? – [Stevie] But McDonald’s is your runner up milkshake. – Seriously! – The one that you liked second best. – The things you learn. – [Stevie] And the one that you liked the best, I don’t think it will be a surprise to you is Shake Shack. – Shake Shack. – Shake Shack. – [Link] Shaka, shaka, bring it out. – [Stevie] You both get spraws. – I don’t know, bring out whatever you wanna bring out. We’re clearly not in charge here. (cases rattling) What is this? – This is a spraw, man. It’s a straw and a spoon together. – Oh, oh my goodness. – Did you guys manufacture these? (crew laughing) – Lucas? – [Lucas] Nope. – [Link] Oh, you just bought it. Look, you can suck. (air sucking) – You can suck and swipe. This is a good one. – Okay, we’ll talk about it more, ’cause my mind is kind of blown here. – Thanks for subscribing. Click on that bell. – You know what time it is. – Tommy from Shillington, Pennsylvania and I’m about to taste test 15 different bottles of water. And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Gotta stay hydrated. – Tommy. – Click the top link to watch us discover which bottle of water tastes best as ice and “Good Mythical Morning.” – And to find out where the Wheel (wheel clicking) of Mythicality’s gonna land. – [Rhett] To get the Rhett and Link plushies, join third degree monthly by October 31st or quarterly or annual by December 31st.
