Does 60 year old butter powder still get the job done? – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning! – Tasty snacks disappear from shelves every single day and sometimes, they never return. – Even if they’re some of your favorites. I still miss you, Forrest Gump fruit roll ups. – Is that like a shrimp-flavored fruit roll up? – Yeah, exactly. Yes. – All right, but luckily, you know two discontinued snack eaters on the internet who are willing to bring your go-to snacks back 20, 30, 60 years later, right? – No. – Oh, yeah. We’ll taste it and we’ll tell them. It’s time for To Be Discontinued, More, More, More, More, More, More, More, More, More, More, Snacks Edition! (upbeat music) All right, next up, discontinued back in 2015, we’ve got seven year old Trident Layers gum, Swedish Fish flavored. – Yeah. – I know you’re such a huge fan of the Swedish Fish candy. Do you remember this existing? – No, man. 2015 was a blur for me, you know? – Oh, yeah. You weren’t really- – I was into horseback riding and three wheelers. – Very dangerous. – Three wheelers started coming back and I was like, I’m on the edge! – [Link] We paid $35 for these. – Whoa, it’s got that smell! – But it says Swedish Fish berry and lemon. Is berry and lemon- – I think that the lemon, which I’ve never had a lemon Swedish Fish. I’ve only had the red flavor, which I think is just the flavor red. – I smell it through the plastic definitely. – I think they may have gone a little gun shy on this. You know what I’m saying? Just go with the red. Why you gonna put some yellow lemon in there? I don’t know what’s happening. – Because it’s layers. – Because it’s gum. – It’s Trident layers. You have to add other layers. – How about red, red, and red? – [Link] See, because they have a Swedish Fish on here that’s the lemon. – That’s what I’m saying. I bet you that exists, but I’ve never seen it. Look at that. – [Link] Trident layers. – [Rhett] I like that. Look, they’ve got the fish scales. – They were first introduced in 2011. It’s like a sandwich. – It’s gum sandwich. – [Link] It looks like a wafer candy. – It’s a very little layer of. – It smells just like a Swedish Fish. – It does. – They’ve nailed it. – Here’s the thing. I don’t know what it’s gonna be like to put this in my mouth and not be able to eat it. I might have to swallow this gum. That middle layer is juicy, man. You think that’s 2015 calling or that’s the way it was originally? – I think it might have gotten soft, like us after 10 years. – It’s like leaking. Wow, this is good. I wasn’t expecting it. – You love Swedish Fish. You don’t think it’s good? I’m dissecting this one for no apparent reason. – You think that Swedish people are proud? – I think it’s good, but I just don’t care. I just don’t care, Rhett. – Here’s the thing. I think if I want a Swedish Fish, I just want a Swedish Fish. I don’t know if I want gum that tastes like Swedish Fish for a couple of minutes. – Did you swallow it? Do you wanna swallow it? Are you tempted? – It stays in your stomach for seven years. I’m not an idiot. (chuckling) – You’re also not Swedish. – That’s right. I might be. You don’t know. – I think it’s pretty obvious. If he’s not flipping out over this, then Trident made the right decision to- (clears throat) – It was a nice limited time item, but Trident layers Swedish fish. – [Rhett And Link] No, that’s whack. (picture whooshing) – Quick reminder. Mythical’s got a brand new podcast hosted by one of the Mythical kitchen crew members, Trevor. You know Trevor. – Yeah! – You know that Trevor likes to talk a lot. We certainly did. That’s why we gave him his own podcast. Check it out. He’ll be talking to streamers, actors, content creators, musicians. Anybody who’s willing to talk to him, really. – Right, yeah, yeah. – Let’s just be honest. – Apparently, a lot of people are. – Yeah and he’s really interested in talking to people. – Yeah. (crew laughing) – He’s good at talking. – Yeah, right. – Yeah. – This is a great promo. – I like to listen to him via podcasting, even more than in person. (Rhett laughing) You will, too. – It’s very convenient. – Brittany Broski is the first guest, so check it out wherever you got your podcasts. Also, YouTube channel Trevor Talks Too Much. Support our boy Trevor. He’s just getting going with that podcast. – You know what, when you captain the Pittsburgh Penguins to victory in back-to-back Stanley Cup championships. – Did Trevor do all that? – Yeah! Your name and face can get on some candy packaging. In the early 90’s, they did just that. Presenting the Mario Lemieux Bun bar. – Mario. I think it’s Mario. – No, it’s Mario Andretti. – Oh, okay. – That’s a race car driver. – All right. Discontinued in 1992, maybe 1993, but this thing is a bit old and it is an indication of the demand for it. We only paid $10 for this. – Yeah, the Bun bars didn’t really hold up in value. Now, the Bun bar, I thought this was gonna be like, this is a Bun, but there’s a trademark symbol next to Bun, which apparently Bun is like a brand of bars. – From Clark. Caramel and roasted peanuts. And this one has one of three Lemieux cards inside. – Oh, we get cards? – There only three total? – He’s only one guy. How many cards does he need? – Collect them all. There it is, Rhett. Check that out. – Oh, that smells Boggs-y. – Are you sure? – The card. Oh, man. Smell the card? – Oh, Boggs! – And then open up the Boggs. (crew laughing) – I’d like to see Mario and Boggs and Wade go head to head. – Oh, it’s worse than Boggs! – Is it worse than the Boggs? – Boggs is getting a sweetness. I think something about putting Boggs in a little box is giving him a little sweetness. – And here we go. It’s like a, what is this? – It’s a hockey puck. – It’s a lumpy hockey puck. – Hockey puck. Now, when I was growing up, we called that a goober cluster or something like that. What was it called? (laughing) – What? – You know what I’m saying? It was a, give me one of them goobers. What was it with the name of that candy that’s like that? – I can’t break it. – It’s a cluster? – I cannot break it. – Am I crazy? – Goober grape is a different thing. – No, no. – Goober cluster. Let’s close up Boggs. You try to break that in half. – That’s a good looking card. – And let me hold the card. – I think I’m gonna need a- – It’s a weird shaped card. It’s very square. – I think I’m gonna need a hockey stick. Oh, no, I’m not. (laughing) Were you joking? – I just got a grip on it and applied some pressure. It was like, okay. – I softened it. Hold on. This dude is 210 pounds? He’s six four, y’all. – Wow, that’s a big man. You can really dominate in hockey with that level of size. – He shoots right. He from Montreal. – When you’re a bigger player, do you have a bigger stick? (both laughing) – Well, yeah. In golf, you do. – Is that how it works? – Isn’t hockey a lot like golf? – So the biggest guys have the biggest sticks? Is that what we’re saying? – (laughing) They have to because- – That’s what we’re saying, right? – He still has to reach the ground. – Yeah. (laughing) The biggest guys have sticks that reach the ground. – Yeah, they still reach the ground. – You agree with me? – And they don’t bend over anymore, do they? – No, we don’t bend over. (Link laughing) They just hit the ground without bending over. – Yeah, yeah. Like a golfer. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Just like golf. – The same thing. – Hockey is just golf on ice. – It’s just golf on grass. – Right. – Yeah. Golf is just hockey on grass. – We’re stalling because we don’t wanna eat this. – God, I Boggs my fingers! I have completely Boggs my whole fing-ys. – (spitting) I Boggs my mouth! I Boggs my front teeth. – Listen, that’s why there’s two of us. Only one of us has to actually try it. I’m trying to imagine what this would’ve been like. – As an avid collector of things as a child, including, but not limited to, rocks. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Pencils and brochures. – Cars. – [Both] Brochures. (crew laughing) – Brochures. I am not into a collection that only has three things. – It’s easy to achieve, though. – Who cares? And it tastes horrible now. – It wasn’t anything special about it in the day. – I don’t think the Bun bar was any different then. It was just they put Mario on it. I think I’m not gonna concede my Boggs spot in my heart to Mario Lemieux. – You’re saying we don’t need a Mario box? – No, we don’t. – Mario Lemieux Bun. – [Rhett And Link] No, that’s whack! – Now, root beer is usually a hit or miss drink for a lot of folks. Either you grew up loving it or tried it once and hated it, like me. But I doubt that people on either side of the spectrum have had Aunt Wick’s non-carbonated root beer flavored powder from over 42 years ago. We’re gonna try it. – Now, it could be older than that, right? Because we paid $13 for this, but this stuff was really popular in the 60s and 70s. That’s back before you had to put an expiration date on anything. Just know that the last one was made in 1980, so very likely this root beer powder is older than us. – That’s saying a lot! – Or maybe right when we were peeking out of our mamas, way back in the day. – Hello? – Hello, world! – Anybody got any root beer powder? (Rhett laughing) Okay. – This was being made the same day that we came out of our moms. – Yes, we’ve established it. – The powder went into this package. – Okay. – Think about that for a second. Just think about the way the world works. Sometimes it blows your mind. – It works kind of like Kool-Aid. Makes 10 glasses. Just add sugar and water, which they’ve done for us. – So yeah, there’s sugar and water in here at a certain proportion. Let me just say, non-carbonated makes it not appealing, but when I smell it, it smells egg exactly like root beer, which I do like. – Oh, wow. – Because I have good tastes. – Are you smelling the root bark or the sassafras tree or the sarsaparilla vine? – I love it, man. I just love it. I don’t drink it very often, but I just love it. (Link retching) – Ingredients fumaric acid. – It smells like medicine. – That’s the first ingredient. Fumaric acid. – That’s my favorite acid. All right, come on. – Come on? Come on. – Okay, he’s gonna not like it because he doesn’t root beer, but let me just say, the only reason it’s bad is because it’s not carbonated and it takes like flat root beer. – Flat root beer. – But nothing has happened to this root beer powder over the years. If you’ve got this, it’s gonna be okay. – Yeah. – You can drink it. – Yeah. – Now put some text on the bottom about- – The fact that we don’t know what we’re talking about. – I’m not giving medical or food advice. I’m just saying it’s probably fine. Okay? It’s probably okay. – We’re not giving medical or food advice, but what are we doing? Those are the only two things. – I just don’t think today’s world can accept this because no one wants this. This is like when you were out somewhere really far in the woods and you needed a root beer taste and this would work and this’ll scratch that itch, but no. So Aunt Wick’s root bill. (laughing) Root bill mix. – Yeah. There you go. – [Rhett And Link] No, that’s whack! – You know when you’re cooking with butter and you think yourself, man, I wish this could last longer, like for decades? Well, look no further than this giant can of Sam Andy butter powder. – [Link] Sam Andy! – Yes, it’s a thing and this one was discontinued in the 1960s! – Yes, let’s get a load of some 62 year old powdered butter. – [Rhett] Now, we paid $38 for this. – [Link] You look into this. – Quite a bargain. – Oh, it’s thick. It’s a thick powder. – Powdered butter because buttered powder is a different thing. Powdered butter, it’s just a dehydrated form of butter. Has a shelf life, normally, of one to five years when stored properly. That’s according to my source. I have a source. – Well, we have exceeded that. – Yeah, we’ve exceeded that by quite a bit. – The weird thing about this, it says, “Life insurance in a can.” What? – Is there like, a certificate? – What could that mean? – Is there a little gift? Can we cash in somebody’s life insurance? Dig in there, Neal. It comes with a toy. A life insurance toy. – No, there’s- – Oh, gosh. You’re making a mess. – There’s no. There’s nothing in there. – What’s the smell there? Let me smell your hand. Oh, that’s a stale smell! That is a stale smell. – It’s not a Boggs smell. – It’s not Boggs. – Oh, I got a little on my chin-y chin chin. – Now, the Mythical Kitchen actually made us some biscuits using this, so they substituted the butter. The butter powder. – I’m a little afraid. – But just so you can understand what that looks like. I’m gonna follow the directions and make some, so one cup of water, two tablespoons of the buttered powder. – Sam Andy foods, a life resources company. It’s not even a food company. – I thought maybe you were supposed to take this into your bunker. – [Link] Yeah, it’s like a precursor to Jim Bakker buckets. It’s like Sam Andy cans. It’s really what’s happening. (whisk banging) Is it not- – I’m making butter! (laughing) Mom, I told you I could do it! – What, your mom kept going, “You’ll never be able to make butter.” – You’ll never make butter. I can see it in your eyes. – You’ll never make butter, boy! You’ll never do it. You can live your whole life and you’ll never do it, son. I mean, should we even just eat the? I’m gonna taste this, but I’m not gonna fully ingest it. – You need a lot more powder than mama said. There we go. The wetter it gets and the more I put in there, the worse it smells. – Bad biscuit. – [Rhett] Okay. Get a load of that. Get a nice little smell of that. – That doesn’t smell great. – Hey, y’all get a good closeup of this biscuit now. Check it. Oh, gosh. (crew laughing) – [Link] Since when do you pour that much butter on a biscuit? – I don’t know. I never messed with butter powder before. What do I do now? – Eat the other biscuit. – (laughing) Oh, I don’t want to. I don’t. This doesn’t smell safe. – Okay, well, I’ve already eaten. (Rhett laughing) Yeah. It didn’t taste safe, either. – I don’t know if it was safe, but you should try it. No, don’t try it. – We’re not giving medical or food advice. We’re good for nothing. And so is Sam Andy butter powder, if it’s been sitting on your shelf that long. – [Rhett] But hold on. – We paid $38 for it. – What if it wasn’t bad? What if it was still good? Would you wanna see what I just did in your kitchen? – No. – You want us coming your kitchen and see me swirling around my butter? – No. – No. I mean, it is a life resources company and a life insurance in a can. – Sam Andy butter powder. – [Rhett And Link] No, that’s whack! – Okay, so we didn’t bring back anything today. – Well- – Sometimes you gotta hold the line! – It simplifies things for all the people. – Yeah. You need to clean yourself up. – I do. – Thanks for subscribing a clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Mike with the Lawless Leopards of Liberty and clearly.
