Today, we’re taking a carbonated trip around the world. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning! – You probably know about Fanta, the iconic fruit-flavored brand from the folks at Coca-Cola. But what you might not know is that there are over 100- – Whoa! – Fanta flavors around the world. – And what you also might not know is that Fanta has a weirdly dark history. – Hmm. – More on that later. That’s a tease. – But what you definitely know is that we, when we find a bunch of flavors around the world- – Yeah, yeah. – We’re gonna get into it, y’all. It’s time for- ♪ Where in the world do these international Fantas come from ♪ – [Stevie] All right, boys, you know how this works. You’re gonna be trying Fantas from around the world and throwing a dart at the country you think they came from. – Not a sponsor. – [Stevie] Chase, the bubbly cartographer, is here to measure how far you are from the correct answer. – [Rhett] Ah, are those real bubbles? – Yeah, they’re real. – Pop one. – Boop. It was in the back. – [Link] He popped one in the back. – Rhett It was in the back. – I saw it. Look at how bubbly he is today. – Yeah, just like Travolta or Gyllenhaal. (crew laughs) – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – I haven’t seen those movies. I don’t know. There’s, it’s called The Boy in the Bubble, right? – Oh, okay. – Okay. All right, all right. That was a deep cut. – Okay, all right. – [Stevie] Can I ask like what does the, is, there’s something, the bubble’s not like buttons? Or like what is the- – Don’t try, don’t, just don’t engage in that level- – [Stevie] Okay. – As we try to understand what he means. – [Stevie] All right, sure, sure, sure. – He’s gonna probably be saying stuff. – [Stevie] Okay. – Yeah, yeah. – He’s gonna be bubbly. – It’s gonna keep happening. – [Stevie] Whoever has the lowest score at the end will be served Fanta by the loser in Good Mythical More and will have to sing the iconic Fanta song while doing so. – Which one of us will have to learn first. ♪ Fanta Fanta Fanta ♪ ♪ Fanta Fanta Fanta ♪ – Is that it? – [Stevie] Yes. (chuckles) ♪ Fanta, the Fanta, the Fanta ♪ ♪ The Fanta, the Fanta, the Fanta ♪ – [Stevie] So innate. Miraculously, Link broke his long losing streak last time we played, which means Rhett gets an advantage in this game. Rhett, your advantage is a secret that won’t be revealed until you decide to use it. But Link- – Ha! – That’s helpful. – I still have one. – [Stevie] You also get an advantage, specifically the advantage from last episode that you negotiated with Rhett to carry over to today. – Uh-huh. – [Stevie] So during the round of your choice, Chase will write the correct country with his finger or his chest on your back. And I think now is about time to, well, ’cause his chest is exposed, so I- – [Chase] You’re acting like this is the first time that’s happened to me. – [Stevie] Well, it’s like extra, it’s extra. – It’s extra chest, yes. Yeah, chest-ra. (Chase laughs) – [Stevie] Anyway, let’s do it. (group vocalizes) – We have some Fanta, and it seems to be- – Oh, that’s- – It’s very muted. – What is this? Is it resin? – It’s plastic. (crew laughs) It seems to be the same- – Is this resin? – The same orange. Oh, no. Ooh, that’s different. (crew laughs) That is not preferable. – Oh, but what is it? – Is it floral? – I almost know. I almost know. – Well, tell me. – [Rhett] I’m not gonna tell you. – ‘Cause I’m going first. – Exactly! – Ah, what is this? – It’s Fanta. – [Link] It’s not very fizzy. Japan, China, Uzbekistan, (sighs) and others. (Rhett and crew laugh) – Yes, I was wondering for a second there if you would name all of them. – Okay, yeah, I just don’t, it must be some fruit that we don’t like to flavor our sodas but some other land is very familiar with this fruit. It’s floral. It’s very, it’s got this fake sweetness to it. – Mmm, yes. – That’s like, almost like bad cotton candy. – Mmm. – I’m thinking this is, this is made from an Amazonian fruit and then exported semi-locally to Peru. – [Rhett] Peru calls your name quite often. – Maybe that’s why they keep putting it on here. Peruvian Fanta. Oh, yes, look at that! I almost nailed it! Bubble, come on, man. Bubble for me. – Whoa! – That’s impressive. – Pop! (crew laughs) – That’s impressive. I taste banana. – You taste banana? – Do you not taste banana? – Oh, crap. I taste banana. (crew laughs) – But I don’t necessarily know if that helps me. I mean, first of all, when I think banana, I do think like Caribbean, you know. – [Link] Are you going for Trinidad and Tobago? – It’s like I don’t know if I should go with this is where they grow bananas or this is where they might wanna put banana flavor in their drink. Oh, man. If I go for Japan and I’m wrong, then I’ve dug such a deep hole. And you’re gonna get an advantage that I surmise is probably gonna be better than my advantage. – How quickly you’ve adopted this loser mentality. – Ah, I could, now that I’m the loser, let me get as close as the loser usually gets when he throws. – Look at him. Look at him, y’all. – Okay. – Look at what he’s doing. – Okay. – He’s changing his game entirely. – Is this how close you are to the map? I feel like I could spit on the answer. – Well, my arms aren’t nearly as long as yours. – Okay, Trinidad and Tobago. (Link laughs) – Okay, okay. – See what you did, that little limp throw. (laughs) Oh, man. – [Stevie] You just had banana-flavored Fanta. – I knew it! – [Stevie] While, the flavor is imported to a few different Caribbean countries where banana production is widespread, it’s only available in one of the countries we have on the map, which is also its country of origin, and that country is Trinidad and Tobago. – Oh! – I think you’re actually at least as close as I was. Does it taste different out of the can? – Nope. – Nope. – Link, you had eight. And Rhett, you had eight. – Whoa! (Link laughs) – Whoa! – Resin. (crew laughs) Resin. (crew laughs) (group vocalizes) Resin. Resin. – It’s not resin, but it does… Ooh, now that is interesting. – [Rhett] Now- – [Link] It’s cloudy. – Link, you’re still in the lead. That was why I strategically got eight centimeters away from Trinidad and Tobago because I wanted you to have to go first- – Okay. – So you wouldn’t identify this flavor. – Is this pear? Is it coconut? There’s something in it that I don’t like, and I love pears. I don’t talk about ’em enough. Hmm, or could it be something else that I’m not gonna say so as to tip off my boy over here. (Rhett chuckles) Uh-huh. So I’m gonna aim for something. – Please don’t speak of me in that- – And I’m not gonna tell my boy over here, even when I’m aiming for it. – Yeah, don’t, don’t talk to me like I’m the Fontainebleau pool boy. (chuckles) – Okay, here we go. Whoop! Oh, man, that was not what I was aiming for. (crew laughs) – Really? It was like you had a laser on China. – That was not what I was aiming for. Leave it to me (crew laughs) to not hit what I was aiming for. – Pear. I taste melon. (Link chuckles) I mean- – Yes, son. – I taste melon. Yes, son, taste your melon. – But why would they make it white? White melon. I think in your effort to try not to admit you were saying lychee, I can actually see the end of your tongue coming out past the drink where you said lychee. – I didn’t say that. (crew laughs) – Well, I mean I’m definitely on the eastern side of the map if it’s a melon ’cause I’ve seen so many melon-flavored things put into so many things from the eastern part of the world. What I’m gonna do is I’m going to, first, get into the position. (chuckles) And the second thing I’m going to do is I’m going to, my answer is Japan, but I’m gonna try to hit the eastern part of China. So if it’s Japan, I have a better score. But if it’s China, we just both have zero. But that requires hitting it. Sorry, I’ll move your thing out of the way here. Oh, gosh, I can’t throw. – Link You’re too close. – [Stevie] I can’t throw. – See? – And I’m gonna have to, I’m gonna stay back from now on. – That’s a mistake that you’re making, man, trying to be me. Ain’t nobody gonna be me. – [Stevie] You just had Yogurt Rush Melon Mix Fanta, the mix being melon and pineapple. This is the third variation in this country’s line of Yogurt Rush Fantas, the other two being double peach and double grape. It makes sense because melon is a very popular flavor in Japan. – Oh. Really? – [Rhett] Dang. – [Link] And there was yogurt in it. – You would think I would be winning- – [Link] Huh. – Since I’ve guessed the correct country both rounds. But apparently, that’s not all it takes. – No, it’s not, Rhett. – Link, you have 14. And Rhett- (crew laughs) – [Link] Okay. – You have 16. – Oh, dang it! I’m even further away. (Link chuckles) Okay, still losing, which is really working for me. (group vocalizes) – Aha, dink it. – Resin. – Is this grapefruit colored? – Mmm hmm. – [Link] Ooh. – Oh. (chuckles) That’s pretty tasty. – That’s good. We like this. – Let me send things in a slightly different direction and tell you about the dark history of Fanta very quickly. – Yeah, pay off that teaser at the top. – The Fanta brand was born in 1940 as a Nazi Germany invention! – What? – When America entered the war, they cut off the German plant from the rest of the Coca-Cola operations. Because there was an American trade embargo against Nazi Germany during the war, it was really difficult for Germany to get Coca-Cola syrup. – Okay. – To solve this problem, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland decided to create a product for the German market using ingredients that were easy to obtain domestically, which at the time was sugar beet, whey, and apple pomace, the processing waste generated after apple production. It sold about the million cases during the war, the most Germans, with most Germans buying it to use to cook with as a sugar substitute since sugar was severely rationed. – Huh. – They were cooking with Fanta, y’all! After the war ended, Coca-Cola regained control of the German plant, as well as the Fanta trademark, formula, and profits. The current orange iteration that people know and associate with Fanta today was developed in Italy in 1955. Not problematic! – Okay, so it’s not Nazis. – Today, the brand has totally distanced itself from those dark roots. However, when they were celebrating the 75th anniversary, they released a celebratory commercial talking about the history of Fanta and referred to its origin as the good old times. – Oops! That’s not a good move. – Really? – Did you know all of that? – Fanta? – You knew all of that? – Yeah, I was reading that from my internal board. I have to look down to access it in my brain. (crew laughs) – This one’s mild. This one’s melony. This one doesn’t taste like Nazis. (crew laughs) It could be Guatemala. It’s a special fruit. – This was a special fruit. – It’s a special fruit. It’s almost citrusy. I mean, it could just be grapefruit. I’m gonna stick with Guatemala. I’m feeling it. It transports me there. Whoop, a little high. – [Rhett] Whoop, a little high. ♪ And I hit Missouri ♪ – I think it’s passion fruit. – You wanna use your advantage? Passion fruit? – I typically am gonna save my advantage for the final round. – [Stevie] I would go atypical today because that won’t help you. – Well, that seems like a second advantage. – Yeah, I’ll do the advantage. Why not? What is it? – [Stevie] Okay, let’s bring in the bottle. It contains a piece of paper with one of the decoy countries on the map written on it. So you have 15 seconds to fish it out. Okay. You have 15 seconds, go. (Rhett grunts) – You have to use that, right? – Oh, you… (grunts) – Dad grunting. (Rhett grunts) Okay. (crew laughs) (Link laughs) – I think that’s as Falkland Islands. I think you really didn’t care if I saw that. You better hide it. I’m gonna see it. – So you’re saying it’s not the Falkland Islands. – It’s not the Falkland Islands. – [Rhett] My guess was going, but the thing is is my guest was going to be Guatemala. – Just go with Ghana. Ghana’s not a bad guess. – It’s not. It was either gonna be, I was saying it’s gotta start with the G. That’s what I was thinking, because of passion fruit. Getting closer hasn’t been a benefit. Part of it is the fact that when you throw, there’s no one’s literally touching you the whole time. How about next time- (crew laughs) – Every time that I lost, and there was a lot of ’em, we never had this discussion! – Okay. (crew laughs) How about, let’s do this. Just for one round, just try so I can know what it feels like. Come sit over here. Come sit over here just to, I wanna know what it’s like. – We don’t have time for this. – I wanna know what it’s like to have no one in your way at all and just have a completely unobs… Whoa. (chuckles) Wow. That’s it? This is it. Look at this. You can do like whoa, and this, and this. I mean, this is what it feels like? – Pretty great, huh? – I think it might be Puerto Rico. – [Link] And that’s never happening again, by the way. – [Rhett] Yeah, but I got a lot closer to my intended answer. – [Stevie] You just had Fruit Twist Fanta. Debuting in 2001, it contains a blend of fruit juices like orange, peach, and apple. And it’s so popular, it even spawned a Fruit Twist Zero version that has no added sugar. You can find it in the United Kingdom. – Oh. – Oh, nasty. – United Kingdom. – Okay, Link, you had 32. – Wow. Move slower. (crew laughs) – 32. – Faster. Whoa, look at those bubbles! Get it, Link, get it! – And Rhett, you had 27. – Oh, thank you. (bell dings) (group vocalizes) – Do you like to doodle? We’re selling an Always Creative notebook. It’s 144 pages of nothing. – Whoa. – Yeah, it’s just for you to doodle in. – It’s what you make it. – But you can also customize the cover- – (gasps) Did you do that? – Like our vary on Chappie did. – Oh, of course not. – [Link] Chappie did this one. It’s amazing. – [Rhett] Wow. – So draw your own design on the cover. Go to mythical.com and get yourself a Mythical Always Creative notebook. Very cool to have one of these. – Can I have the one that Chappie did? – Yeah. – Like, can I take it home with me? – So now you’re going first. Let’s take a sippy sip sip. You’ve taken the lead. This is exactly what I wanted to happen. Ooh. Huh? It’s like fruit and then cologne. What is that? – I think it might be… (crew laughs) – Lychee or lychee does not have- – Milk? – A cologne-y taste. – [Rhett] It doesn’t have milk. – It’s got a bite to it, a little bit of sour. – Now that I’ve taken a very, very small lead, and here’s the thing. You still have an advantage and your advantage is very legitimately helpful because he’s gonna- – I’m saving it. – He’s gonna write the country on your back, at which point you probably will get some idea of what it is. I taste aloe because I got a sunburn and then I got my wife to rub some aloe on me and she accidentally stuck her finger in my mouth when she was doing it. (crew laughs) I’m sorry, it’s confession time. (laughs) (crew laughs) Okay, I’m not gonna get as close. I’m going back to old school. It served me well for a long time. I tasted lychee, and then I tasted aloe. – Yes, you did. – And both of those feel like they would find a home in China. – [Link] Oh, really? – I’ve gotta figure something out here. – [Link] Whoo! – [Rhett] Dang it. – Okay, so you missed China. I’ve hit China earlier, so I’m gonna try- – That was actually a horrible throw. – I agree with that. – It’s a horrible throw. – See, I was thinking, when you said aloe, I was thinking the desert. But yeah, I’m gonna go with China. Yes! (chuckles) I’m a little bit closer than you. We’re just gonna be tight. – [Rhett] I think you’re in China. – [Stevie] You just had Fanta Shokata, an elderflower blossom extract drink, which is popular in Balkan countries and is sold throughout several countries in Eastern Europe, including Bosnia and Herzegovina. – Both of ’em? – Dang, man. And it’s blue! – Ah, shoot. – Link, 31. – [Rhett] Whoa. – [Link] That’s a good one. – [Rhett] Look at what it made. It made like a little ship. – And Rhett, 34. I’m sorry if this makes you uncomfortable. – Ooh-wee! Oh, look at this, tied going into the final round. – What? (group vocalizes) – [Stevie] The tie is scored, and it’s time for the mystery round. – Hmm. – Hmm. – You know what? – We got some fruit punch looking- – I’m so glad it’s tied because that means that you have to go first when- – But you were winning in the last round. – Yeah, but think about how big of a disadvantage it would, you’re gonna get the answer put on your back. – I know! – And that’s gonna be- – And I’m going second because you won the last round. – That’s not- – You were the lead. – That’s not, Link- – Before we tied. – We’ve been doing this show for 12 years, and every single time we’ve ever played a game in which it was tied, it goes back to who won the last game, not the last round. So, my friend, you’re going first and I’m going to hope that you are able to decipher the answer and then throw a bad throw, or not know where it is. Oh, gosh. – This is not good. (Chase laughs) Well, I don’t really need to know because Chase, you’re coming in here. – Oh, he’s taking his shirt off. – Oh, yeah, I wanna have, I want it to be like- – Is that part of it? Is that a rule violation? – Okay, I might take my t-shirt off too. Now- – I’ll allow it. – Before you, before you- – (chuckles) I’ll allow it. – Can you- (crew laughs) Before, just- – Chase, that was a little quick. – Give me a letter. I just wanna see what you’re gonna do before you do it. Just touch my back. Don’t flip it. – I’m not gonna watch. – [Chase] Okay, I won’t flip. – That would be cheating. – [Chase] I won’t flip it. – All right. In English, please. – English. – Yeah. – In a font of my choosing. (crew laughs) Last time, I was doing like the Red Hot Chili Peppers thing. – Okay. – So I’m gonna give it away, give it away, give it away now. – Oh, okay. All right, I like that. – You were- – That was- – He wanted to say that last time. – There was a theme. there was a theme. – I really wanted to say that, yeah. – He’s carrying the theme over. – Are you ready? – Yeah. Oh, wait, wait, hold on. Whoa. – Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. – Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. – Hey, hey, no, no! That’s it, bro! – You freakin’, what is that, Arabic? – It was cursive. (crew laughs) – You weren’t ready. – [Link] Cursive? – You weren’t ready for cursive. – [Chase] I’m not done. I’m not done. – Let’s start over. – Okay, I’ll start over. (crew laughs) – It feels good. (Chase laughs) – Are you getting anything? – Nothing. I know he… Dang it, man. Why do you have to be cute like that? (crew laughs) You have to, I know what letter the first word ended in. All right. – Oh. Hold on, you think you know? – [Link] Whoops! (crew laughs) That’s not what I was aiming for. – Well, it is rose. And rose flavor is very popular in the Middle East. I think- – This is tight. – [Rhett] I think this is a really good throw- – This is tough. If it is the Middle ’cause you’re, I mean, you’re pretty close to the Middle East. You’re closer than I’ve been able to get to an intended answer, except for that one round where I got all the way to your positioning. I was not obstructed. – But you’re not using, you’re not using what I aimed for as like an indication of anything? – [Rhett] I was gonna go for like Saudi Arabia ’cause that’s in the Middle East and it’s two words. – Whoo, it’s close. It’s anybody’s game. – [Stevie] You just had Fanta Kolita. Kolita is a popular flavor across Latin America, (Rhett grunts) which people describe as a mixture of tutti frutti, vanilla, and bubble gum, though Coca-Cola describes it as tastes similar to grenadine. The red syrup is used to create a traditional cold treat called granziado, granzi, grano, a shaved ice with condensed milk, but the flavor is typically popular in this Fanta’s country of origin which is- – What did you think it was? – [Stevie] Costa Rica. – What did you think it was? – I didn’t know! I didn’t get anything! A word ended in a T, and then another word. – Oh! Well, I don’t think it matters ’cause I think you’re- – Costa Rica. – You are just a little bit closer to Costa Rica. – Oh, yeah. – Rhett, you had 42! – [Rhett] Oh, look at that balloon. – [Link] Dang! – [Rhett] Balloon. (chuckles) – But Link, you had 38! (Link laughs) – Two in a row! Two in a row for your boy! That’s me. – Congratulations, Link. – Oh, yeah. – We’re so proud. – By no skill of my own, I have ascended to the throne. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – [Stevie] This means that, oh. – Are we done? (crew laughs) I’m done here. – What did you say, Stevie? The snooze alert? (crew laughs) – [Stevie] I said this means that Rhett has to learn the Fanta song. – Oh. – [Stevie] So that he can sing it to Link at Good Mythical More. – I thought you were like, “Link’s won two times in a row. “Snooze alert.” (crew laughs) – [Stevie] You know what time it is. (Rhett laughs) – I’m Lindsay. – I’m Bill. – I’m James. – And I’m Natalie. – And we’re doing a blind soda taste test. – [Group] And it’s to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – That’s what I call a double date. (Link laughs) Click the top link- – Well, you had two couples. – To watch us guess the end of iconic 2000s commercial jingles in Good Mythical More. – And if to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. – [Rhett] Let your imagination lead the way with the new customizable Always Creative notebooks, available at mythical.com.
