What’s the best first Halloween candy? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning– – And Happy Hallo-Wayne, Wayne. – Happy Hallo-Wayne to you, Wayne. (both laughing) – It’s not even Halloween yet, but it is- – Almost. – Happy Hallo-Wayne. – It’s almost Halloween. – All right, over the past two days, we’ve had the best of the best modern day Halloween candies but today we’re gonna honor those Halloween candies that came out way before us and we’re gonna honor ’em with an open mind and an open mouth. – The American tradition of trick or treat dates back to the 1930s and today we’re going to decide the best Halloween candy from all the way back in the day. It’s time for the Hexed and Haunted Halloween Haul of 2021, vintage candy edition. – Yeah, and for the third and final time, please bask in the view of our bracket of vivacious vampiric varieties of vintage candies. – This bracket contains the eight best vintage Halloween candies as voted on by you, 39,639 votes were cast. – Yeah, the vintage candies competing today are Smarties. – Sugar Babies. – Candy cigarettes. – Candy Corn. – Lemonheads. – Charleston Chew. – Atomic Fireballs. – And Pixie Stix. And mercifully, this is the last day that Chase is out. Nobody else here seems to really understand the simple idea of John Wayne Chasey, so let’s see who’s willing to fill the role today. – Hey, hey, ha, howdy there partners. It’s me, hi. Who are you guys dressed as? – We’re Wayne from “Wayne’s World.” – We’re both Wayne, yeah. – Because we both look like Wayne so we couldn’t decide who was gonna get to be Wayne. – You understand the reference, right? – Yeah, I understand the reference. Sheesh. – And who might you think you be? – I’m John Wayne Gretzky, the clown hockey playing cowboy. Pretty famous. You get the reference? – No. – Do you Miss Chase, too? – Yeah. (Rhett laughing) – Yeah, he’ll be back. – Okay, each losing candy is gonna be taken away to hell by the cauldron of witches spew and in the end, the tastiest Halloween candy from days of old will be crowned the most handy vintage Halloween candy. – All right, let’s eat. – Today’s first vintage mash-up is the number one seat with 20,047 votes, Smarties, versus number eight seat with 6,528 votes, Sugar Babies. Well, number one seat it’s Smarties. Now this is actually kind of interesting. – I’m familiar. – There are over 30 billion of these that have been made 2 billion Smarties rolls every single year. I think every trick or treating that I’ve ever been on, and now that my kids had ever been on these always pop up, they got staying power, which is, I guess, why they’re the number one seat of the vintage. Very powdery, a good taste. You get to go through a bunch of different flavors. – It’s always what I imagined chalk would taste like, And then I taste chalk and it doesn’t taste like it. – No, this better than chalk. – Better than chalk. – Sugar Babies. Look at these things. I thought they were chocolate covered caramel. – This was my brother’s go-to movie food. – Where is the freaking? It says candy coated, milk caramels. Oh, it’s caramel. – You, seriously, it’s just a caramel, you haven’t had these? – It’s candied. I haven’t had these in so long. They’re called Sugar Babies because they’re a spinoff of the 1935 success of Sugar Daddies, which is a rich man who will spend his money on you. It’s also a caramel lollipop, which I think it was bigger. – That’s pretty good, man. – These tastes good, but I mean, I gotta yank that out. It’s kinda like pulling a freaking tooth. – I’m surprised that y’all like these so much. Well, they’re nice. There’s there’s so many of ’em in a pack and maybe they make you smarter. – Okay, they might make you smarter, I’ll go with that. – I’ve eaten one of these and I don’t want a second one. – They do taste like pills a little bit. – I’m voting for the Smarties. – [Rhett] Smarties move it along! – Smarties. Just like you guys are a couple of smarties. – Oh, oh, you’re gonna be complimentary. Huh? Okay. Yeah. – Yep. I like that. Yeah. Keep those coming. Sugar babies going in the cauldron. – Nice. – Have a “Alley Oop”, this time we do “Alley Oops.” – “Alley Oop.” Oh, hold on. Yeah, we’ll get better. – “Alley Oops.” (witch giggling) – It wasn’t that funny. (spooky music) Next up, the number four seat with 13,791 votes is Candy Corns versus the number five seat with 10,397 votes. Y’all are voting for candy cigarettes? – 10,387 of you are voting for Lucky Lights, candy cigarettes. Now listen– – They still exist? – You may be wondering – That’s the news to me. – to yourself, how is this still a thing? Well, it’s because the good people of New Jersey are still willing to do this. – Well, they don’t call it cigarettes anymore. It’s just called Lucky Lights Candy. So it’s up to you to make the connection. – Do I look cool? – It looks like you’re smoking a cig. – Do I look cool though? – Of course not. What about me? – You look pretty cool. I gotta say. – I’m just gonna let it dangle, the more I– – I don’t think I can say that anymore though. – I feel like the more it dangles. – You look like an idiot. Let’s taste it. Tastes like a bad Smartie. It tastes like Smarties that were taken off the line prematurely before they added flavor and also cut them. – Hold on, it’s Maalox flavored or is that Pepto? – It’s Maalox, man. – It’s freaking Maalox. – And I’m a Maalox man. What you got over there? You look tense. Not anymore though. (Rhett chuckles) (Link sighs) (Rhett laughs) – Candy Corns. Now. – Why are you saying corns, man? It’s not, it’s Candy Corn. – How many corn is in that? (crew laughing) That’s just, you’re just calling it wrong. – My wife, my wife, Christy, I love her so much. She’s like, “People hatin’ on the Candy Corns.” – But they taste good. – But what they don’t know is that you’ve got to get the brand name. – Man, it’s good. – [Link] So we’re giving it the best chance ever. – I wonder if you could smoke one of these. – You could also call it like, it’s like teeth, yeah. – That’s pretty cool, man. You ready for Halloween. So candy cigarettes, we’re not letting you move on, but we are moving along. The Candy Corn. – Whew, corn, favorite meal of Cowboys and clowns everywhere. – You agree with our choice? – Yes. – Candy cigarettes are dumb. – All right, “Alley Oop” to you. Get ready for the setup. All right, yeah, I’m ready. – No look. (crew laughing) Yeah, that was awesome. (witch crowing) (spooky music) – Maybe you know that last night we all experienced Good Mythical Evening together. I think some of us are still recovering, but we don’t want you to miss out if you weren’t there last night. So you don’t have to panic. All you gotta do is purchase the Good Mythical Evening Beast On Demand package, and then you will have it for 48 hours from the time of purchase, it’s a rental. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, rental. – So enjoy that adults only show.

Rhett, take it away. – All right, we got our next contenders. The number three seat with 13,925 votes Lemonheads. – Lemonheads. – Vissus, vissus, versus the number six seat with 8,763 votes Charleston Chew. Now I’m not really familiar with the Lemonhead, but it is made by the Ferrara candy company. – Oh yeah? – Started in 1962, the founder of Ferrara named the lemon flavor candy after the shape of his grandson’s head, when he was first born, even the grandson himself has confirmed that his head looked like a lemon. – Whew. This is pungent. – [Rhett] These don’t look like lemons. They just look like balls of yellow. – You can really bite into it, it will. And it packs a lemony punch– – Whoa! – Wow, I’m telling, see? – Holy, what? – See that right there, holy what? – No! – Holy Lemonheads, man. – I didn’t think I’d like this, but I love it. – I don’t, I don’t like lemon. – I don’t like yellow man. – They nailed it, I just don’t like it. – I gotta say the first one was better than the second one. – It has got a lot of lemony flavor. Charleston Chew. – I don’t want a whole box of them, but I liked the first one. – Now there’s chocolate on the outside of this. Do you know what lurks inside my friend? – I think it’s a marsh. – Nope, that is nougat. – Oh, that’s a nougat? – So they’re speaking to our heart. It’s shiny nougat. – It’s got a little bit of a marshmallow-ish to it though. – Now we thought that Charleston Chew was gonna, could’ve won last year’s worst candy bar tournament, but Zebra Bar beat it out. And now I’m like, it’s pretty good. – The lemon taste and then this. – I like this better. Are you falling for the Charleston Chew? Because. – I don’t know, I think this might be a trick, I think we might have to throw it over to Trevor because I kinda liked the punch of the Lemonhead. – Well, Trevor doesn’t get to break the tie. We got a special tie breaker. Who is Trevor? – That’s right, who is Trevor? – Bring in the tie breaker, Trevor. – Okay. – John Wayne Gretzky. – [Trevor] Yeah, that’s me. Famous cowboy clown hockey player. – I see a little silhouetto – Your special friend. – of a Baby Secret. – Your special friend, here you go. – Hello, BS. That’s, the initials hold. – I don’t know if you should be doing that. – Can you hear us? Are you alive? Are you there? – Is he gone? – Yeah, he’s gone. – He really gives me creeps. Hello boys. Did you miss me? – It’s been awhile. – not really. – I don’t care, feed my mouth hole. – I’m gonna get you a little one. This is this one, Baby Secret is a Lemonhead, okay? Open up. (Baby Secret groans) (crew laughing) – Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, here it is. – She just likes to keep it on edge there. – All right, now chew it, chew it and swallow it. – I’m trying. – Now it’s gone. – Okay, so that was the Lemonhead. – All right, what about a Charleston Chew here? This is vanilla nougat with some chocolate covering it. – I think I’m gonna have to roll that up and get it smaller. I just like to give you a little nibble. (Baby Secret groaning) (Baby Secret slurping) – Okay, she’s sort of slurping a little bit. – All right. She ate it all. – Boy, she ate the package and everything. – Yep. – This candy tastes like the souls of the passed with unfinished business. It’s also chocolate-y, which I like. – Okay. Okay. – I choose chaos. I chose Charleston Chew. – Yes! – Okay. I agree with you. – Okay, Baby Secret. – You can just hang out there. – No, please leave. – Yee ha, we have our first upset, just like my hockey team upset the other hockey team in the 1983 Hockey Bowl. (crew laughing) – Now he’s trying to do facts. – All right. So the Lemonheads go in the cauldron. Boom, nailed it. – Do you guys dig my blowout? – Help me! – Towards the children! (men screaming) – Mommy! (spooky music) – All right, our number two seat with 15,811 votes Pixie Stix versus the seventh seat with 8,278 votes, Atomic Fireball. – Okay, you know what, these are actually made by the same company, the Ferrara Candy Company. I don’t know whose head they’re supposed to look like, but I’m sure if somebody, this, the guy thought they looked like somebody’s head. The grandson’s head is one of them. – I think when his grandson got a sunburn, as a newborn. – His head swoll up and got red? – Can you bite these? ‘Cause I want you to try it first. – Can’t do it. – Yeah, that’s potent. – I started to try. That’s good. It’s hot a little bit. Is there some capsaicin in there perhaps? – There is. Well, there’s actually capsicum. I kinda like this. – It’s good. It takes time. This one right here, rip open a stick, man. These came out in the ’30s as a drink mix. And then they realized that all kids wanted to do was glow get that sugar in your mouth. So they changed it to Pixie Stix. It started out in ’30s, so this is, it became Pitsea, Pixie, Pixie Stix in 1959. I mean, it’s just, it’s just flavored sugar. I mean, these are tasty. That is just frustrating to me. – I like this a lot. – I think this is a choking hazard and just a dumb idea. – What if I could slick it up and squeeze it? And shoot it at you? – Nope, nope, nope. These are better. All right. So the Pixie Stix, we agree. Pixie Stix are movin’ on. – Fun fact. Pixie was the name of my third horse because I’m a famous cowboy. – Yeah. – Third horse. – You’re zeroing in on it. – Give me– – But you’re really off base. – Nail it. – All right. Fireball. – “Alley Oop”, bam! That was two points. – Yeah. (witch screaming) (spooky music) First semifinals match is Smarties, the number one seat versus Candy Corn, the number four seat. Let me empty these into your mouth. What the real ones do, Link, is they just take this whole sleeve and they use this as a slide. – And they just– – Right in there. That’s a mouthful ain’t it? That’s what, they gave you that many. – And then you eat ’em one at a time? – No, you didn’t, you crunch ’em all up and make it into what Pixie Stix actually is. – Pixie sauce. – Pixies, ewe. – Did I spit on you? – Little bit. (Link growls) – I’m making the sauce. – I didn’t ask for that. – I didn’t even wanna eat all that. – I like Candy Corn. – I don’t like consuming a lot of sugar on the Internet. It’s against my– – You would never do that. – Morals. – I’m torn on this because I like Candy Corn. – This is tough. Yeah. Candy Corn tastes like icing. – It tastes like fondant. fondant has been introduced into the vocabulary because of those cake shows. – [Link] Oh gosh, what’s happening here? – Not easy, but you know what? Now that I just, filled my mouth with Smarties. – It’s itching, man. – I think the Smarties are better. – Yeah, they turn into a sauce. – Yeah, fondant, you’ve had your day in the sun. Smarties are moving on. – Slap ’em. – Wow wee, zow wee, unrelated question, do either of you gentlemen know where I could find Batman? – No. – Is that still not it? That’s not it. No, nothing. – Okay. – Yeah, I understand the clown part. All right. So Candy Corn goes away. Yes! – Goal. (child laughing) – [Kid] That’s enough. (crew laughing) – So now that’s just a baby being tickled, which is creepy. (spooky music) Charleston Chews sixth seat versus Pixie Stix two seat. We’ve been here. We’ve done that. I mean old fashioned packaging, there’s some nostalgia just baked into this thing. If the kids dug this out of their container, I think they’d just turn up their nose at it. But this, every kid’s like, I know what’s going on here. I don’t care if you sip it, snort it or salivate over it, it’s going down. – You think I can get a Pixie Stick to go through a Charleston Chew? (crew laughing) – This is what it’s been reduced to. – Do you think, I mean, do you think with enough speed? ‘Cause they say a tornado can send a pine straw through a door. – Yeah, then, yeah, I bet you can do that. (crew laughing) I’m gonna lick this. I’m gonna cover it in this. So I’m, I’m going fun dip style. – [Rhett] I like that, I like where this is going. – And then, I’m eating this. – Yup, and you’re gonna decipher, you’re gonna break it down in your mouth and figure out which one’s better. – Just to make sure that I’m giving both of them a nice chance. – Pixie Stix moves on? – [Link] Nope. I like Charleston Chew better. – Oh gosh. – Nougat, unfettered. I mean, this is just sugar in a, oh no. (Rhett spitting) (crew laughing) It’s a little slow start there. You think the Charleston Chew’s better? You’re crazy. We’re gonna have to bring in fricking Baby Secret again. – It can be used as a weapon. I didn’t realize that. So, now that, that’s the case, sure, I’ll let it move on because I don’t love either one of these. – You got a little. – Look we’re moving the Pixie Stix on. – Moving the Pixie Stix on. – Because he just used it as a weapon. – Charleston who? Am I right? – That’s right, they don’t taste bad, but they’re not nearly as fun as these, I mean. – I disagree with both of you. – Oh really? That’s why we’re not asking you. – I didn’t ask to be asked. I was just stating my opinion. – Yeah. That’s cool, that’s cool, man. – “Alley Oop”, “Alley Oop.” – [Trevor] You guys should do the funny voices again. – Boom! You’re doing good. (witch screaming) Becoming my favorite part of the episode. Okay. – Yeah. (spooky music) All right, it comes down to our two final vintage candies, Smarties, the number one seat versus Pixie Stix at number two seat. I mean, this is just like, not that interesting, honestly. Seat one versus seat two. – Nah, man, when you get the vintage, it’s like the staying power of vintage is like powderized sugar in different forms. – Yeah. This is the same thing. And you got one that’s in a pill form and one that’s in this straw form. – I mean, I would call ’em discs or wafers. I wouldn’t call ’em pills– – You don’t have to call ’em pills. – Per se. – But it’s something hit me that we could do that we have not yet done. Open your mouth. More. (Rhett spitting) (crew laughing) (Link coughs) It takes a lot to get it going. But I got a good portion in that left cheek. – I’m glad I turned a little bit. – Yeah, I saw it, suddenly, ’cause you could- – So you were aiming at the cheek, dude. – It could’ve gone right to the lungs, yeah, that could have been bad. – Oh man. – So I’m gonna have to let you be the judge because to me. – I’ll tell you, it’s easy. – Yeah? The Pixie Stix taste a whole lot better than the Smarties. – Oh yeah? – And the velocity. – Yeah, you like it when somebody just blows it right into your mouth. – Just blowing it right into my mouth, – Yeah. – is an added dimension that I had not anticipated This is an open and shut case. – There you go. Sending the Smarties back to the candy jail. Let’s do that, “Alley Oop.” Bring it down! Scoop! (Rhett heaves) – Let another one. – Scoop! Oh, not there. Right, let’s make it pretty, woop. – And that means the most handy vintage Halloween candy is, Pixie Stix and it’s going in the hand. – Yeah. Shwing, I think is what we would say at this point. (spooky singing) (crew laughing) – It’s a weird win. – What was that? I think that was– – I think it went to heaven. – This is a baby becoming an angel. – I think it went to candy heaven. – Yeah. – That’s a beautiful thing. – Trevor, thanks for being a Wayne Gretzky, for being here and for putting Pixie Stix at the top, who knew? – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Rhett. – And I’m Link. – And we’re from Puyallup, Washington. – It’s Halloween, and it’s time to– – [Both] Spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – I don’t remember making that video. – But we were handsome. – Yes, we were, click the top link to watch us guess our crew members’ costumes based only on their pets dressed up in another costume in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality’s gonna land.
