GMM 2129: International Doritos Taste Test

Today we leave a trail of Dorito dust around the world. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning. – As we’ve seen through all of the chip taste tests that we’ve done behind this desk, international destinations kinda kill the game when it comes to super unique flavors that blow the minds of us mere Americans. – Yeah, and today we’re taking a trip around the world, chomping down on the big daddy of everything salty, triangular and coated with deliciousness, Doritos. It’s time for… ♪ Where in the World ♪ ♪ Do These International Doritos Come From ♪ Okay, I can’t wait to put my mouth hole around a whole bunch of Doritos, so I’m gonna make this snappy, we’re gonna taste a bunch of different flavored Doritos from around the world, and throw a dart at the country we think those Doritos came from, and then Chase, our bootleg Doritographer, will measure how far our dart landed from the right answer. Whoever has the lowest score in the end wins, however… – Yeah, yeah, hold on, hold on. “Dorados”? – Yeah, I don’t think we could afford the full Doritos costume, so we had to go with the bootleg version. – “They’ll turn your fingers gold,” it says. How was your cartographer convention? – Eh, it was okay. I pitched a new projection for one of the maps, but I got denied, so. Is what it is. – New projection. That’s how big the countries are. Greenland’s way too big. – [Link] Now we’re doing something different today, I’m pretty excited about this, right? – You know, now that we’re both so good at this game, we’re introducing the Dorito Double Dipper. So one of the countries on the map is gonna be featured twice today, meaning we’re gonna try two different chip flavors from the same country, okay? So, if we can properly guess which country is repeated, we get 15 points shaved off our total. But if you incorrectly guess the double country, like if you go for the double country, and you get it wrong, you get a extra 20 points added to your score. – Ooh, okay. – So it’s a little bit of a risk. – Because I am on a winning streak, you get the Tarantino-approved advantage of the Doritoes dart, and that is a foot dipped in some nacho cheese, that you can plop with a very high accuracy onto the map. – I will be winning. I will be using that today. – I don’t think you’ll be winning. – Oh, you know what? Listen. I feel like my whole identity has been challenged by losing this game so many times in a row, so, I may just go off into the sunset if I don’t win this. There’s a lot at stake. – Aight. – And whoever wins the game- – What is at stake? – Gets a top of the line Doritos gift bag in Good Mythical More. – Well, there’s that, too. (acapella music) – Just a bowl of Doritos. – Ain’t nothing wrong with tasting a Dorito. Now this, it’s not very colorful. Ooh. It kinda tastes like burnt popcorn. – [Rhett] What’s happening there? – It’s sweet. – And a little bit of sour, too. It’s almost like a wasabi in there. – [Chase Voiceover] I do have bigger dreams, you know. Beyond being a cartographer. – You ever wonder if Chase is like… Wants to do more around here? – No. Very weird flavor. I have to go first. – [Rhett] I have no idea what this is. – It’s sweet, but strange. I don’t think it’s gonna be, it’s not Mexico. Do you have an idea of what that flavor is? It doesn’t taste like Indian food in any way, either. – [Rhett] It’s not very good. – You know what? – I’m eating a lot of ’em, though. – I think it’s a dried fish thing, that is sending me to Norway. Oh, yeah. A little low, but that’s all right, I like being in the middle of the board. Anything you now wanna say because I’ve tossed? – I just think that… – It’s a nasty Norwegian fish. – I just think that the world of the east is more apt to kind of experiment with stranger flavors, and this comes across to me as a flavor that I can’t pin down. But I’m not so confident that I wanna go all the way to Japan. I’m not gonna do that. ‘Cause if it ends up being somewhere on the west here- – You’re yellow bellied, man. – So I’m just gonna go for India. – Could be a shrimp. Woo! That’s close to India, but, I don’t think it’s Indian. – [Stevie] You just had bacon cheeseburger Doritos. – [Rhett And Link] What?! – [Stevie] And of course, where are the very best bacon cheeseburgers located? Say it with me, Japan. – Well, this actually makes a little more sense now, because… – It tastes horrible. – This does not taste like a bacon cheeseburger that Americans would recognize. – No. – All right, 37 for Link, 23 for Rhett. – Okay. – That is wild, man. I’m not gonna keep eating those. – Now that I taste them, I can taste the pickle, that’s the sour part I was tasting. (acapella music) – These have got a lot of orange flavoring on ’em. – There’s a thick daddy going on here. – [Chase Voiceover] There is a high demand for accordion repairmen these days. – I mean, sometimes I just think that like, he may be being boxed in a little bit. You know, he loves music, but he doesn’t like playing it, he likes being adjacent to it. He’s like music-adjacent interests is really what Chase is all about. – Chase, are you, I mean, are there other itches you wanna scratch? I mean, just let us know. – I mean, I feel pretty comfortable, but you know, sometimes I like to just expand a little bit. – Okay. Okay. – [Rhett] Okay. I’m almost tasting like a marinara. – Really good. – [Rhett] It’s good, it’s a little bit weird, though. – I mean, after that bacon cheeseburger thing, all bets are off. – I’m gonna say something, and I don’t know if there’s a reason behind… There is reason behind it, but I don’t know if it’s sound. When we tasted, in this I’m giving you way too much here, I feel like. – Give it to me. – Especially since I really wanna win. – I think this is pizza, I’ll give you that. – I think this is Mexico. And I’m not gonna tell you why I think that is, until after you throw it. – Hm. Hoo! Mexico, huh? I mean, it’s got a pungent flavor that could be Mexican, but it’s pizza. I think it could be just… The UK. Yeah, ’cause they want more pizza in their life. It’s kind of a middle of the road flavor. Or the wrong side of the road, you know what I’m saying? – Hey. – Here we go. Oh… – Okay, I’ll tell you why I chose Mexico. The texture of the chips. – Oh, it’s thick. – When we tasted the… We’ve tasted Mexican Doritos on this show, and there was a difference between the consistency and it was more like this. – All right, Stevie, are we right? Or is he right? – [Stevie] You just had Pizzerolas Doritos, which don’t have a direct translation, but they’re basically pizza rolls, and they’re from Mexico. – Ahaha! – You got it, Rhett! Dang! – [Rhett] It’s the structure of the chip. – Because of the thickness of it? The Pizzerolas. – They make it completely different. – These are tasty, too, boy. – All right. Six for Rhett, 24 for Link. – Woo, that’s good, oh man, I am hurting this day. – Okay. This day. (acapella music) – Hey, we’re dropping this all new tee featuring the Randler as a mascot, and inspired by a certain North Carolina basketball team’s branding from the 90s. – I love this shirt. – Yeah, even if you don’t know what we’re talking about, it still makes for an awesome shirt. But you know what we’re talking about, go to Mythical.com, get yourself one. – Get you some, get you some. – [Chase Voiceover] Oh, boy. (crew laughs) – You ever feel like Chase is just like… You know he’s full of wonderment. It’s just, things seem to amaze him. – I thought that was you thinking. Thought that was your voice for a second. Oh, what is this? This tastes like raw peanuts. – It tastes like peanut sauce. Okay. – [Chase Voiceover] I bet I’d make a killing as a scatman. Skoobadebeep deebadopdooboop boop beep askeedadoodoop boop badopeedow. Badow. – We really gotta figure out how we’re gonna retain Chase, you know? – There’s lots of opportunities for him out there. – Something tells me he might wanna go off and just… – Do jazz? – Just do jazz. – Yeah, right, yeah. He has that jazz look about him, you know? He has that jazzy look in his eyes. Link, I believe, as a man who’s eaten corn on the beach on a stick in Thailand, you should get this. I think it’s Thailand. Because it’s peanut sauce. But that’s a really bold guess, so it could be India. I’m gonna hedge my bets a little bit, lean towards Thailand but not fully commit. – It’s a taste that my tongue doesn’t like. You keep eating them, but do you like ’em? – Not really. – Yeah, it’s such a foreign flavor. – I like things that I hate, though. – And I can’t tell, again, if there’s some sort of like shrimpiness to it. – Is there a shrimpiness? That is the question. – It might be… But see, in Thailand they wouldn’t have a pad thai, shrimp pad thai Dorito. I think that’s too… – On the nose? – They might have a shrimp flavored, and I think that might be what’s happening here. – [Rhett] Okay, so where you going? – I don’t think it’s a peanut sauce at all, is what I’m telling you. I’m going for Thailand, and I’m not gonna hold back. Yes! I almost nailed it. I was so close. Did I hit it? – No. (Chase’s voiceover chuckles) (crew laughs) – Do you hear a chipmunk? – I don’t know, something about the look on Chase’s face when he said no, seemed like he was getting a lot of pleasure out of the fact that you didn’t hit it. – [Stevie] Okay, you just had teriyaki burger Doritos, and of course, where are the very best teriyaki burgers located? Say it with me. – Japan. – [Stevie] Japan. – No, that was a double country! – [Stevie] Yep, it was your Dorito Double Dipper. – We just couldn’t tell that it was a burger at all. – I was thinking it’s peanut sauce, because you suggested it to me. – All right, 25 for Rhett, 16 for Link. – Okay, all right, little comeback. (acapella music) – Okay, the thing I’m discovering about these Doritos is that if you’re told what they are, oh, is this pungent? It’ll help you. – [Rhett] That’s a vinegar. – [Link] Mm… – With something else, too. – It’s something else that I don’t wanna say. Don’t eat these with an open wound in your mouth. You know, if you’ve got like a cut, or if you bit your tongue recently. I’ve always bit my tongue recently. – [Chase Voiceover] I’ll be on Broadway someday. You’ll see. – You think Chase is focusing on his role here? Like what he’s supposed to be doing? ‘Cause he seems a little starry eyed. – Yeah, Chase, I mean, are you here with us, man? Are you? – There’s not much for me to do until just the measuring thing. – What you’re doing is important. – Well thank you. – We couldn’t do this without you. Like if you went off and did, I don’t know, anything else like, singing, or repairing stuff, we’d be left in a lurch, I mean. – Sing and repair stuff. – I mean, did you watch the last episode where Josh filled in for you? It was chaos. – Yeah, but he got a lot of good comments, people were like “Oh, yeah, really attractive.” – Just look at the comments you’re gonna get today. You read the comments on this episode, Chase. It’s gonna be very clear that you need not go anywhere, to sow any type of wild oat, to do anything else. You’re in your sweet spot, man. – Thank you. – [Chase Voiceover] Sure, guys, whatever you say. – You feel like he’s two-faced sometimes? – Yeah, I feel like he’s freaking two-faced. Like, I just gave him my best. – I don’t wanna think that, but… Okay. I’m tasting the vinegar, you said you’re tasting something else. To me, there might be a little ketchup in there. – [Chase Voiceover] All this chit-chat, just to guess wrong anyway. Throw your darts already. (crew laughs) – Chase is such a sweet guy. I don’t feel like he would ever judge us, in the way we play this game. That makes me feel a Canadian. And I love it when I feel Canadian. But Canada’s such a bold guess, that I don’t think I’m gonna go all the way there, and so United Kingdom presents itself as a good option. So I’m actually going UK. Whoa! – [Link] Oh, dang! – [Rhett] Did I hit it? – That’s very close. You might’ve hit it. – Did he hit it? Go see. Did he hit it? – [Chase] Ooh… Yeah, you’re right on the border, I think I’m gonna have to give it to ya. – Okay, he’s gonna give it to me, if it’s correct. – See, I was thinking this is pickles. – Hm. Well, you might be right. – [Link] Pungent, pickley flavor. – You might be right about that. – It could be Japan again. I don’t know why something pickley would be UK, or Israel, but I’m gonna guess Israel. Oh, a little low. What are these, Stevie? – [Stevie] You just had Tangy Pickle Doritos, and while you may occasionally be able to find different takes on this pickle flavor in select stores for limited times only here in the US, Tangy Pickle Doritos were born and continue to be a staple in… Canada. – [Rhett] Ah, it was Canada, I should’ve just gone with my gut! – Dang, tangy pickle is a… That’s a… – It’s a good flavor. – It’s a good Dorito. – All right, 31 for Rhett, 48 for Link. – Gosh, just not enough. – This is bad. (acapella music) – Last round, we got a green Dorito here. Looks very crystalline, the covering. – That’s fruit. – [Chase Voiceover] What is the average retirement age for a magician’s assistant? – I don’t think there’s anything we can say to Chase to keep him around. – Well… – He’s got a bright future ahead of him. These are so sweet. – It tastes like, it’s a fruit. – It’s like they were dipped in Gatorade. – It’s a very familiar fruit. – It tastes like it was dipped in Sprite, not lemon and lime. – Oh, it actually tastes like lemon and lime. It tastes like Mountain Dew. – You think it’s the collab? All right, so you’ve got your cheat dart, the Doritoes. – [Rhett] Man. – [Link] But going first… – This thing’s pretty long. – Is gonna help. (bell dinging) Just turn it over, ’cause all you gotta do is put the toe in, man, you can’t put the whole foot in. – I got it. I got it. – Not the whole foot! Just the toe, just the toe. – Okay. I’m just gonna stamp with this, now I gotta think about this. – [Link] You really think it’s Mountain Dew? – I was thinking this was coming from some Asian country, ’cause it’s got a fruit flavor being mixed with Doritos, which is not something that people in ‘Murica would go for. – And of course this is a free for all mystery round, so it’s not (indistinct). – There’s a lot of countries right there. I’m just going for country coverage. I think it’s probably somewhere in the east. I’m just gonna kinda… – [Link] You can’t smear it, you just have to… – [Rhett] Place. – That is not what I thought would happen. – [Rhett] That’s not what I thought was happening. – There you go. That is what happened. – I thought I was closer to India. – You just covered Egypt. Let’s see, I’m down so far, I gotta go for some gusto here. – You gotta hope it’s on one side of the map, and you gotta hope that you’re right. That’s how you win. Which is still possible, I think. – Yeah, so I’m gonna go for Australia. – [Rhett] Hey! – I hit it, y’all! Lotta good that did. – [Stevie] You just had Mountain Dew Doritos, taking the world by storm for a very limited time back in 2020, these Doritos promised a zesty zing lemon flavor. Now you’d think that the US would be the ones to sell such a special snack, but these Doritos are from Australia. – Yes! – Oh my gosh. – That is what I thought. You said “Yeah, you’d think they’d be the US.” No. Australia. Yeah, I’ve been there. They love this type of stuff. – That was amazing. I don’t know if you made up the difference. – Did it do it? – That was awesome. I’m excited to stick around for more international episodes and see how you guys can do in the future. Rhett, you had 27, and Link, zero. – Zero! That’s pretty great. – That was awesome, but, apparently not awesome enough, Link. It’s a great moment, man. You did it. But I get the Doritos tote bag. Oh, and I get to feel, I know what it feels like to be a winner again. I feel so familiar. – It’s a zipped up bag, ooh. – Cool Ranch Doritos candle. – We’ll go through the other items in Good Mythical More, for now I’ll just say congratulations. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – I’m Yumana.
