GMM 2126: Do These Foods Taste Different In Other Countries?

Do Twinkies taste better in other countries? – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning! – What if I told you that Nutella tastes different in different countries? – I’d say, “Feed me!” – And Flaming Hot Doritos. Same company, different international ingredients. – Feed me! – Diet Coke? – Drink me. – Twinkies? – Twink me. (crew laughing) – Can we spot our country’s snacks better than a bald eagle wearing binoculars strapped to a telescope? – What? – That makes sense. It’s time for Same Munchy Different Country Snacks Edition Part Two. (gentle upbeat music) – As you can see, we can’t. – Okay, in every round, we’re gonna be presented with multiple versions of the same product and one of them is from America. That’s the one that we’re trying to identify. – Because we’re the Americans! – Okay and in the end, because we’re playing against each other. In the end, whoever wins gets a international American product. – Right. (gentle upbeat music) We’re starting off with some Nutella. – That’s what we used to say, man. Nutella. – Nutella. – Is this Nutella or old tella? – I still say Nutella. I ain’t changing up. There’s an American one that we gotta put our hands over after a three, two, one, but there’s also an Italian version. – What? – Italy! You’re getting in on the. – [Rhett] Okay. I’ve already got- – [Link] Oh, you already got. – So if you feel a bowl, that’s yours, bro. – I’m over here in front of you and we’re just gonna lick these? – Stevie, no audible reaction to this. I can only get so much on my tongue. – So it’s cocoa and a hazelnut? Is that what it is? Okay, I’m over here now. – [Rhett] I may be getting messy. I’m not real sure. – I’m trying to get all the Nutella off so it doesn’t become old tella. – Is this? I already made that joke. You were talking, though. – [Link] Oh, really? – Yeah. – Our instincts are so similar. I’m just a little late to the game. – That’s like a really low hanging fruit joke. That’s why two middle aged men made it back to back in about 45 seconds. – Well, my fruit hangs lower than yours. – Oh! Well, okay, that might be something you need to see your doctor about. (Link laughing) (crew laughing) Because it sounds like you’re talking about your ballsack’s real loose. (crew laughing) (Link laughs) – If I knew you were gonna unpack it in such a way, I wouldn’t have- – I still remember this comedy routine from Brad Garrett. You remember Brad Garrett? He had a comedy routine- – [Link] Yeah. – And he was like, “Well, I turned 40. You know how I know? When I sit on the toilet, my balls hit the water.” – Stop talking about this. I’m licking something. – (laughs) I mean, it’s not a great joke. It’s just something that really sticks in your crawl. I can’t. I can’t get it. My beard is getting in the way and I’m trying to not get too messy. – Okay, there- – I think I- – It’s very, hey! It’s a very subtle difference. – I think I’ve tasted enough. One tastes more familiar than the other. – In what way? – I don’t wanna tell you. I’m not a huge Nutella fan because I’m not a huge hazelnut fan, but it’s in the house and sometimes, it just finds its way into my mouth. Enough for me to have at least a sense of familiarity with it. – Okay. – [Stevie] You ready? – Yeah. – Yeah, I’m ready. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Are you not here? We disagree? – I’m over here, yeah. – [Stevie] You guys are split-sies. The American Nutella is on the Link’s side. – I thought that one tasted more hazelnut-y. – I thought it was sweeter, actually, so. – [Stevie] Hey, that’s it. The US version is much sweeter. It’s 21 grams of sugar versus Italian Nutella is 8.5 grams of sugar. – Okay, now that I know that, let me actually. – But I don’t think that it necessarily tastes better. – Oh, wow. When you can actually get a spoonful of it. (laughs) That really helps. – Blame it on the beard, but I get the point. (gentle upbeat music) – Okay, this round, we’ve got Flaming Hot Doritos from- – Oh, not Cheetos? – Not Cheetos, Doritos from Japan, Canada, Australia, and America. – Lots of- – [Rhett] Is it just one bowl of each one? – [Link] Options here. – [Stevie] Yeah. – Warning, lick daddy’s about to make an appearance. (Link smacking lips) – Oh, man. – That’s spicy. I don’t know if that’s because it’s the first one. – Okay. I’m just gonna eat it, just like a Dorito to begin with. I might go lick daddy later. – Wow! That’s totally different. – More corny. – It’s a totally different experience in round number two. – Yeah, but it is more American or less American? – I don’t know. It’s definitely not as spicy. I ain’t gotta tell you that. I gotta go back to the first one. – This one has a lot of powder on it or else I just got a really powdery one. (clears throat) The spice is coming hard. – That’s a good, well-balanced Dorito right there. – Okay. – And then I’m trying to keep all these straight. – [Stevie] I’m both scared and impressed by Link’s technique right now. – Yeah, the lick daddy wants to go back in and I gotta keep them straight. – Wow. The spices are getting. My mouth is getting confused at this point. – Well, one of them is cheesiest and one of them is spiciest and the other ones, I don’t wanna tell you. Where am I? (crew laughing) One of them’s tangier and then one of them- – Okay. There’s also a difference in chip consistency and one of them has the most distinctly different flavor, which I’m guessing is from Japan, but that’s not what we’re trying to guess. – Because I can see myself visiting Tokyo and having one of these. – What? (bell dinging) Doesn’t have the same effect when I got my blindfold on. – To you. First ever blindfolded version. Love that. – Stevie Why did you freeze, Link? You froze in a- – For continuity. Time stops. (crew laughing) Time stops when he does that. When he, “Whats?” – [Stevie] Yeah, yeah. – Okay, all right. – [Stevie] Okay, you ready? – American. – [Stevie] You’re gonna put your hand over the American Flaming Hot Doritos in three, two, one. – Bam! Oh, we agree! – Farthest over there. – What are the chances, given that the? Oh, no. – Oh, wow. If I’d had looked at them. – Those are- – No, you know what? Maybe, that’s are from Japan. – [Link] The reddest ones? – That’s are from Japan. – And those are the spiciest ones. – [Stevie] Don’t doubt yourselves because you’re both correct. – Yeah. – Nice! – [Stevie] Those are the American Flaming Hot Doritos. – And these are from Japan, right? – [Stevie] The ones furthest on your side, Rhett, are from Canada and then Australia. – Oh, really? – [Stevie] And then Japan. – Canada is the spiciest? – [Stevie] Yeah, Canada, Australia, Japan, US. – These are the weirdest ones. – [Stevie] And Australia- – I didn’t know Canada went spiciest. – [Stevie] Australia are, by far, the most different in ingredients- – So it makes sense. – [Stevie] So they used canola oil instead of vegetable oil. They have a flavor enhancer that the US and Canada doesn’t. They have a bunch of different fat powders and cream powders and extracts- – They need to, yeah. – [Stevie] And they don’t cheese or the red and green bell pepper powder. – They don’t have access to cheese in Australia? (Stevie laughs) Cheese hasn’t made it to the island yet? (gentle upbeat music) I wanna take a quick moment, just a quick one, to tell you that the Mythical Kitchen channel has new videos every week! – So fresh. – You never know what they’re gonna cook up next or how messy it’s gonna get along the way, but you know what? That’s half the fun. That’s why I watch. They’re gonna make a mess? – What’s the other half? – Well, just, I like their company, you know? – Yeah. – They’re just pleasant people. – Yeah. – They also have a podcast, “A Hotdog is a Sandwich”, where you can hear Mythical chefs Josh and Nicole’s culinary hot takes, wherever you get your podcasts. – Diet Coke, I’ve been known to down a Diet Coke in my day. I don’t remember having one in Australia or the UK, which is what we have to differentiate from our US version. – So you have to be just going with familiarity. – I’m not gonna overthink it. I’m gonna go quick. Not a lot of difference. This one is the most different of the three. – Wow, so there’s definitely something going on different with the sweeteners. – Okay. – It’s not Coke Zero. It’s Diet Coke. – That’s what I said. All right. – Hold on. – I’m zeroing in, even though. – Okay. – [Stevie] You ready? – One second. – Boy. – At this point, I’m just drinking Diet Coke. (crew laughing) – This one’s strange, isn’t it? You’re not even tasting that one again. It is narrowed down to these two. I know which one it is. Definitively and it ain’t this one. I don’t know if I even like that. – Oh, man, this is really, really tough. Hold on. – Honestly, I don’t know if I like Diet Coke. I just drink it because it makes me feel better about myself than drinking Coke. – Okay. – [Stevie] American Diet Coke in three, two, one. – No, man. – It came down to these two, but at first, I was like, this is definitely real because that one’s a little more different and this one’s way different, but then when I kept tasting, this started to taste more familiar. I’m not confident in this choice. – What is it? – [Stevie] The American Diet Coke is in the middle. – Yeah! – Well then, what is this? – [Stevie] On Rhett’s side is Diet Coke from Australia and then on Link’s side is from the UK. – What’s the difference here? – [Stevie] The main difference is that both Australia and the UK use real sugar, as opposed to high fructose corn syrup that we use in the US. – Yeah, that was the only thing that I could find in there was the familiarity of the sweetness at the end, after you’d already swallowed it. This one was strange. – But is there something else that makes this different than Australia? – [Stevie] Australia has more carbonation than the other two, I believe. – Yeah, yeah. This one definitely had less carbonation. – Yeah, yeah, this one has no cheese, either. (crew laughing) – Yeah, but I think coming from a can is what threw me off. – Oh, it’s the can. – Your fault, guys! (gentle upbeat music) – And finally, we’re coming to the final round tied and just a couple of guys trying a couple of Twinkies. Well, actually, four. – Four? – We got Twinkies from American and Twinkies from Egypt, but we each have our own Twinkie. – [Link] Okay, so- – [Rhett] So four total Twinkies. – [Link] Okay, so two Twinkies. – Yeah. – I’m gonna taste this Twinkie. Egyptian Twinkie. Never been to Egypt. Thought about it. – Yeah, never been. – I’m thinking about it right now. Can you tell? Look at my face. I’m thinking about going to Egypt. – At one point, I had a trip planned there, then it changed to a trip to Japan and something in the world happened that prevented me from traveling. – A Twinkie is a nice, moist cylinder of goodness. Whoa! – Okay, there’s a form factor difference here. – What happened? – [Stevie] Well, Link, I must say, you unfortunately lost a tiny bit of your Twinkie. It was not pretty looking, but it wasn’t your fault. It just came off on the plate. – They all come in different shapes. This one’s pristine. – [Rhett] Okay. – I’m getting to the cream now. – This is pretty easy, man. – Let me go back in here. – Unless I’ve been lied to my whole life, I feel like this is pretty easy. – One of them is flatter and denser. – Or maybe they just, is this mine? Maybe they just pressed it down. – I have mine in my hands. Okay. I’m ready to- – I almost put this Twinkie up your sleeve like this. – Yeah, put it up my. Do that. (crew laughing) Yeah. (laughs) Hey, ain’t no downside to having a Twinkie up your sleeve. (Rhett laughing) – [Stevie] Hand over the American Twinkie in three, two, one. – If it’s not this one, then what’s a Twinkie, right? – [Stevie] Yeah, you right. – Yeah. (bell dinging) – [Stevie] So the Egyptian Twinkie is on Link’s side. – I can’t get it! Oh, there it is. It went to the left. – Yeah. – [Stevie] Yes, it has a thicker, denser, darker cake, but also, it doesn’t have as much cream- – Yeah. – [Stevie] As the US Twinkie and the cream is different. It’s less whipped, less fluffy, and more of like a cream cheese. – Boy, I’m gonna take American Twinkies over to Egypt, just stand next to the pyramids and just make a killing! – More cream cheese, huh? Yeah. – (laughing) Y’all will love these! – I think they’re both really good and I guess we both won, huh? So who gets what? There’s a Hungry Jack’s. What is this? Shirt. – This is like if you’re on the racing team for Hungry Jack’s, which is the Burger King of Australia. Well, let’s see. What size is it? – And there’s a meister proper here. – I think this might fit you a little bit better. – German Mr. Clean. – Maybe you get the clothes because it fits you a little bit better. – Oh, yeah. You can have meister proper. – I drink this, right? – All right.
