Today, we try celery jello that’s 56 years old. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning. – There’s always something being rebooted at any given moment: Sex in the City, low-rise jeans, bucket hats, but snacks don’t always get the same love and media attention. Well, you know what those poor forgotten snacks have that Sarah Jessica Parker does not? – Empty bank accounts? An expiration date? – Those are true, but I was thinking about us, two guys with two tongues. – One tongue each. – And we’re gonna use those tongues, that’s right, to give some snacks from the past the love and attention they’ve been waiting for. It’s time for To Be Discontinued, More, More, More, More, More, More, More, More, More Snacks Edition. – Now I haven’t met an M&M flavor that I didn’t like, and if there’s a peanut inside, I want it inside me. But let’s see if these jalapeño M&Ms from 2019 are worthy of a comeback. Not jalapeno. You’re saying it wrong. Jalapeño. There’s a thing, okay? You’re embarrassing yourself. – Okay, they get it. A couple of years old. – We paid $50 for these. – Looks like a pack of Big League Chew to me. You know? – This is actually part of a January 2019 flavor vote campaign, released along with two other flavors. I think the two other flavors are on the back. They were weird. English toffee, that’s not too weird, and Thai coconut. – [Link] Yeah. – We don’t have those. We’ve got jalapeño. Wow, there’s a lot of green ones, which that makes sense. – There’s less red. A lot of yellow, too. – Hold on, but there’s only red, is this like a Bob Marley pack? (both laughing) – [Link] I guess so, yeah. – Because that’s the only three colors that I’m seeing here. – I just, I’m ready to debate, ’cause I don’t know, what’s the deal with spicy candies, in general? – What’s the deal with spicy candies, what are you, Seinfeld? – Somebody’s gotta fill that hole. – It’s like candy. If I wanna have candy, I wanna have candy. I don’t want my mouth on fire. I can’t really do a Seinfeld impression. – It’s a better impression than it is a conceptual impression. – Me and Shepherd started watching it. It’s not a sponsor, but it’s on Netflix now. They started- – Yep. – Boy, it starts real slow. (laughs) Episode one is like- – Oh, I thought you were talking about an M&M, ’cause this starts slow, too. – Yeah, I’m talking about Seinfeld. – I agree, but it gets masterful. – But Shepherd was into it right from the beginning. – If you like a peanut butter M&M, that’s all you get at the beginning of this, just like Seinfeld in the early seasons. But then, all of a sudden, it’s like, “Wow, this is spicy and unlike anything I’ve ever had.” – Yeah. – But do I want it? – But you don’t know how to feel about it, because of, you know, the whole thing that happened with Michael Richards. You’re like, “I don’t know how I should feel about this.” That’s how I feel about these. – Leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I think that might be that they’re a couple of years old. – Yeah, you think that’s what it is? – Yeah. – It’s like, they’re, do you think M&Ms two years old makes a, it’s got a little bit of Boggs in it, doesn’t it? – Yeah, a little Boggs. Not enough Boggs for me to stick my nose in that hole, ’cause- – It’s got a little bit of Boggs. – But enough for me to put him on camera. I do not believe in spicy candies. – Well, I do. Okay, you’ve said your piece. I do but I don’t feel like I need it. Like I don’t, when I’m having a regular M&M or a peanut M&M, I don’t think to myself- – You don’t have to explain yourself to me. – “Hey, what’s the deal? I wish it could be spicier.” – [Link] Jalapeño M&Ms. – [Both] Nah, that’s whack. – Our next snack is from the ’90s, when candy toy combos were in peak form. So these Monster Mouth candies, they came out in 1998, were like, just along for that, they’re riding that wave. They allowed you to take your candy and make out with it, by pushing on this and revealing a wrapped candy tongue. – Well, I think we gotta unwrap. – Gotta unwrap this thing. – Oh gosh, it’s soft. – I paid, we paid. – Well, I mean, yeah. – I paid $36 for this mummy, and you paid- – If you wanna get technical about it. – $50 for that vampire. I thought it was a cat. Yours is mushy, dude. – Hold on, yours is not? – Mine’s hard as a rock. – Well, you know, no two tongues are alike. I think I went a little, you know what? It’s just dissolving, so I’m gonna leave it on. – How do you get it to go back in, Stevie? – You just pull it. – [Stevie] What? – [Rhett] You just pull it. – [Link] Ah. – Now- – Oh, you pull it. – Here’s the thing. A lot of kids, and I know you’re one of them, you were practicing making out with things, you said that you practiced making out with your bedpost. – Yeah, it was a rounded wooden post. It was like a shrunken head that I could make out with. – Yeah, but it was just wood. Now, you could’ve been making out with this, and just for old times’ sake, just go back, be that Link in 1992, that was making out with the bedpost, and now you have the opportunity to make out with one of these. Think about what- – I mean, I’m gonna do it like the way you do it. You start with the mouth closed. – Yeah, you gotta work your way up to the tongue. – You wanna be in charge of the tongue? – I’ll be in charge of the tongue, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I’m gonna give you a different tongue. – Oh, this is an awkward date so far, Mr. Mummy, but I feel like we have a connection. (Rhett laughs) I trusted you to not, to do anything but that. – Yeah, but it’s very… – I could’ve lost a tooth, man! – I mean, hey, listen, that’s what I did in the 90s. As soon as the mouth made contact. – Be gentle, man. I’ll do it my freaking self. – It was like a rocket, man. – I mean… – Had on my Nike sweatshirt. – Right now, the bottom half of that tooth could’ve been gone. – Really? – Yeah. – No, no. – I’m on the verge of being like, non-internet mad, like real life mad. – Okay, here, here’s a soft one. This is a soft one. – I don’t want to put that soft one in my mouth. – It’s covered in plastic. This is like a tongue condom. – I think that’s called something else, isn’t it? – You can’t get, a dental dam, this is… (crew laughs) This vampire has on a dental dam. – Don’t shove it, man. Ease it. – I’ll go easy on you this time. But you gotta talk sweet to him. – You know, my first date with your buddy didn’t end too well. But I’m so glad that you swiped right on me. I want you to show that camera my perspective, like zoom in to where it’s just this, and just let… Isn’t that disturbing? – Sexy? Yes. – Oh, wow. I thought you were a cat at first, but you’re so much more. I didn’t touch my tongue to it. I just let it dance around in the twilight. – Man, we’re learning all kinds of stuff today, kids. – This is so gross, it’s awesome! – Yeah, I mean, since when can kids just, in the privacy of their own bedroom, just make out with vampires or mummies? – This how tampons go in, anyways? – Yeah, that is a tampon applicator. – So there’s lots of educational angles for this thing, more than I care to admit. – I’ve noticed that Stevie is not responding to any of this. – [Stevie] Yeah, I was waiting for it. – I called on her. I love it, it’s absolutely gross, you can see the pustule-like taste buds. I don’t even want to have to taste it. So for $86, we got our money’s worth. I’m saying- – [Both] Monster Mouth candy, bring it back! – We always wanna plug the Mythical Kitchen channel, because they do awesome stuff, and it’s happy times over there. That you can join in it. In a recent episode, Josh revealed his last meal. Well, he’s not dead. – What he wants for his last meal. He’s okay, doing fine. – Go to the Mythical Kitchen channel, subscribe, catch up on all the classics. – Now, I like a good cream soda, it’s an old-timey type of taste. So we thought we’d get real old-timey and try this bottle of Nehi blue cream soda from the 80s. Here’s a commercial from the soda company. ♪ You get caught on a sunny day ♪ ♪ Sometimes things go wrong ♪ ♪ So you might as well grab a cold Nehi ♪ ♪ And sing this little song ♪ – Like the yacht rock. ♪ Get a Nehi ♪ ♪ You got that light flavor ♪ Oh, it’s raining, but not under that tree. At all. You see that? The tree was like a bonafide waterproof umbrella. – I mean, she brought that cooler out there just full of nothing but Nehi soda. – They were gonna party, man, rain or shine. – I mean who else is coming to that party? Is it just the Nehi for them, and she wipes his face when he gets through drinking? – She’s getting neck deep in Nehi. Nehi was called that, introduced in 1924, to remind customers that the soda came in knee-high tall bottles. – Whose knee are we talking about? – We ain’t talking about my knee. I mean that’s three quarters of a shin, maybe. – Well maybe at one point, maybe at age three. – That is a tall bottle compared to normal bottles. Let’s open this thing up and try it. – Hasn’t been opened since the 80s, everybody, gather ’round! – [Link] Blue cream. – [Rhett] Come under the tree! – Flavor. – It’s blue cream soda. So it’s just blue cream soda. – Look at that, it just disappeared. – Yeah, it was a good trick. – Gone, entirely. – It’s just out in the grass somewhere. – And you wanna pour it with the logo forward, so it… – It’s still got fizz. ♪ Nehi keeps the rain off your shoulders ♪ What is wrong with you? – I’m trying to hold it to show the logo. – Well I mean, you’re gonna get kicked off the commercial set really early, just when you’re pouring it on the actor’s hands. – Did you get a little…? – Yeah, wipe it up like she did. – All right. I’m gonna, oh, yeah. That’s creamy. – Man, we were, last time, when this soda was manufactured, we were just running around, we were probably meeting for the first… We were younger than that! – Yeah. – [Rhett] ‘Cause that was 90s right there. – Now if you find blue cream coming out of your body, you should see a doctor. But to put it in requires another level of caution. I’m gonna swish it, but not swallow it. – Just like Swish, from back in the day. – It tastes like cream soda, nothing like it looks. The only thing going for this- – You mean it doesn’t taste blue? – No, blue does not inform the flavor. But the full bottle was nice, I would’ve loved to have kept that on my shelf, ’cause we paid $25 for it. – Well you know what? We can… ♪ Nehi, just keep it on your shelf and never drink it ♪ ♪ Because it tastes like crap and of course it’s very old ♪ You’re gonna have to find that cap and force it back on, because we’re gonna reassemble this, put it back on the shelf, nobody’s ever gonna know that we had a sample. Where’s the cap? – Going on eBay. We’ll find that later. Nehi blue cream soda. – [Both] Nah, that’s whack. – Okay, now we’ve got Uncle Munchy’s Curious Crunchys snack mix from 1976! – [Link] Dang. – It’s a mix of potato chip strips and peanuts. – What? – And if it’s anything like my uncle, it’s only gotten saltier over the years. Actually, he passed. – It’s very, it’s got this like the Beatles- – [Rhett] Schoolhouse Rock. – But even more like the Beatles animated movie. Maybe Yellow Submarine, I think- – I wanna pop the top, man! – I was trying to get in there on the poppage. – I mean this thing has been sealed up since before we were people. – I remember potato sticks in cans when I was young, and they were very- – Boggs alert! – Boggs alert! – Pour it out. – So I thought… – Get a smell of that. – Oh my goodness. – Oh! Look how much is in there! – [Link] So, if I… Okay, there’s the peanuts. – [Rhett] Lemme see the thing. – I bet you, good buddy, that these peanuts here are doing a lot of the damage. – Can I draw your attention to one thing? – Whoo! – This amazing concoction was made by the Daddy Crisp company. – Daddy likey. – I mean that might be the best company name, period. Daddy Crisp was having some sort of ideas back in the day, Uncle Munchy Crunchy Curious Crunchys, let’s put a bunch of stuff in a can. – I mean, psychedelic, dude. Potato strips and, I would not call these strips, by the way. I would call these shards. – Okay, but that’s a little less appetizing. – This smells like Boggs’ been rubbing all over it. – [Rhett] I mean I can’t believe how much Boggs is happening in that can. – [Link] The peanuts are so oily and dark. – Again, you know, when something makes Boggs smell good, you’ve gone past a threshold. – But, I’ve never seen a snack- – Butt smells like Boggs, yeah. – I’ve never seen peanuts and potato chips in the same snack. It doesn’t happen now. But it needs to. – In a can? – Yes! – I imagine it would be great. – I think as a concept, I want to taste this in a fresh, unboxed format. – You think Daddy Crisp is still around? – Let’s call him. We’re sending you a message, Uncle Munchy’s Curious Crunchies… – [Both] Bring it back! – Now we’ve tried some old jello before, we had decades-old Royal brand jello, and it was very soupy, and nasty. But now we got our hands on the main brand stuff, this is Jell-O from 1965. And what we’ve done is we’ve taken this celery flavored Jell-O that is 56 years old, and we have gotten the Kitcheneers to prepare the recipe on the back. “For salads.” Okay. – Are you okay? – We made a salad out of this Jell-O. – And as you can see… – [Link] Looks like beef. Bouillon soup. (Link coughs) Why am I coughing? – Did y’all add the vegetables, or that was in the mix? – [Kitcheneer] I added the vegetables. – Okay, so it was just the Jell-O. As you can see, it doesn’t set up. So we have definitively proven something I’ve always wondered about. There is a time in which Jell-O refuses to firm up. It’s like “I’m not gonna do the thing that you want me to do.” Are you okay? Do you need help? – I think I got some of the, it’s either the box is disintegrating into my lungs… – Have a spoonful of 65 year old Jell-O, and I think that’ll clear everything right up. – No, man, I’m not doing that. – Well then I’ll do it. – If you look at the ads from back then, they really thought… I mean they were gelatizing so many things that they were trying to with the celery give you permission- – It was back when they just, they looked into the future, and they thought that everything was gonna be awesome, and everything was gonna be jello, and now we’ve crossed that threshold, and now we look back on it and we say that, y’know, jello has a place, it has a time, but celery time is not jello time. We just figured that out, we know that. I wish we could go back in time and tell you that it’s a bad idea. – I would actually say current time is not really jello time for me. So celery Jell-O… – [Both] Nah, that’s whack. – You don’t wanna give it a little taste? – I want to see you do it. Well, you do touch it with the tip of your tongue. We’ve already decided that we don’t wanna bring it back, man, you didn’t have to- – I only confirmed that decision. Why is it brown? – [Link] Did it taste brown? – It tasted like celery, the essence of celery, which is not something that I’m into anyway. – All right, so we’ve decided to make out with Monster Mouth candies for the rest of the day, and bring those back, along with Uncle Munchy’s Crunchies Curious Uncle. – Yeah, that… – Crunchy Munchle. – But everything else is whack, so, you’re welcome, thank you for our service. – And thank you for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Nolan. – And I’m Maria. – And we just watched the sun rise in the most easterly part of North America, at Cape Spear, Newfoundland Labrador. – [Both] And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – I mean, you can’t get more east than those people are right now. – I think they can get more awake than that, though. It’s kind of early. – Click the top link to watch us debate what’s a good enough reason to cancel on someone in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality’s gonna land. – Oh, this is a martini glass filled with shredded lettuce. Why? I don’t know. I think the first time I had a shrimp cocktail was at Claim Jumper, the restaurant that we talked about where they weigh the children before feeding them, and they do this, so I’ma do it.
