GMM 2395: We Tried EVERY Bang Energy Drink

Which Bang energy flavor is the most bangin’? – Let’s talk about that. (bright music) Good mythical morning. – Sure, we’ve tasted every Monster energy drink flavor. – And, sure, we’ve drunk as much Red Bull as humanly possible. – And as much Monster as humanly possible. – Big deal. – I mean, yeah, big deal, who else can say they’ve done that? – Probably some on you, probably the Try Guys, I don’t know. (crew laughs) You know, there’s people doing similar things, but I like to believe that we have our own unique style. – Yeah. – A unique lifestyle. (both laugh) And you know what? We are not done. We’re thirsty for more carbonated caffeine bombs available in dozens of flavors. – And we’ve got a whole lot of errands to run right after this show, so this seems like the perfect day to get our Bang on. – It’s time for Gut Check, Bang Energy Drink Edition. – [Stevie] You know the drill, gentlemen. The Mythical crew acquired every available straightforward Bang energy drink flavor for today’s tasting, a total of 31 flavors. – What’s gonna happen? – Whoo! – To our bodies? – Ridin’ high! – [Stevie] After you try each flavor, you’ll give it a score of 1 to 100 based on your gut reactions, then you’ll taste the top four to determine which Bang energy drink deserves the top title of the ultimate banger. – And how am I going to contribute? By referring to my scoring aid. – No, that’s a cool scoring aid. “Score With a Bang.” I question, usually you have facial expressions associated with the scoring, so that’s how you know. This is basically someone counting to 100 and you on a rocket. – Right. – Yeah, I guess it’s not gonna work. – Well, let’s see if my scoring chart is gonna be any help to me. It’s on the back of a Doritos box. (crew laughs) Oh, you know what? – It’s pretty simple. – It’s actually basically the same as yours. – [Link] It is? Yeah, it is. – [Rhett] Mine says fly like an eagle. – Score with a bang, fly like an eagle. – For you, passion is the most important thing. Forget about winning, focus on being. I’m so proud, even when you fail. – Oh, I think you really needed to hear those things. – Yeah, but this is not, like we’re not competing, we’re just trying to score bangs. – Just in life, though. – [Stevie] It’s like a fortune cookie meets like that, you know, the little sticky notes that you tape to your mirror in the morning to make yourself feel good. – Yeah, this is the first one I’m gonna keep with me. – Keep with me. – Okay, if you’re palates need a refresh at any point, we have some caffeine chamomile tea in our Fabulous Floras Lava travel mugs from mythical.com and we’re kicking things off with the fruity category. – Hey. – [Stevie] Starting with cherry blade lemonade. – Oh, sharp. – Cherry blade. – A little fakey. I think that’s gonna be the case for a lot of these, 49. – Are you tasting the blade? Yeah, don’t love it. I’m down here with 30. – [Stevie] Wyldin Watermelon. – Okay, all right. – Okay, watermelon. – They’re all clear. Oh, I kinda, I kinda like that. – Yeah, I’m looking over there. Every single one- – Except one. – Is totally clear. – There’s a brown one. – So, they don’t, and they don’t add any coloring, coloration. – That’s not bad, 68, better than the last one. – You know, it hasn’t moved me off 30. – Okay, you’re stuck on 30. – [Stevie] Bangster Berry. – What berry is it? – Wow, that’s tart, it’s boysenberry. – It’s got that- – It’s gets in the Red Bull territory. – Like a chemist came up with an idea of what a berry should be. – 50. – I’m lower than you, 45. – You can do that. – It just makes me feel weird. – [Stevie] Blue Razz. – Berry? – Mm-mm, nope, don’t you say it. (crew laughs) 55, I’m creeping up. – 60. – [Stevie] Citrus Twist. – Okay, now let’s get into some citrus. – Their names are cool, you know, blades and twists. – The first part was pretty nice. – That refreshing citrus. – It was a 68. – I can’t get off 55. – [Stevie] Delish Strawberry Kiss. – That’s almost too many words to describe it. – Oh. – It’s creamy in a weird way. – I don’t like that. – Is that what the kiss is? – 38. – Kiss makes it creamy? – I’m still at 50. I’m right here. – So, it’s interesting- – I’m right here in the middle. – You never talked about your scores in this way that you get moved to a place and then you stay there based on the next subsequent drink. I don’t really know how to think about that. – Me neither. I’ve never though about it. – As a viewer, hey, listen- – And I’m gonna go backwards. – For you- – It’s kind of like the game of Life. – Passion is the most important thing. – It is. For you, it’s not. – [Stevie] Nectarine Blueberry. – Now that’s fun. – Nectarine Blueberry? – That’s fun. I think I’ve rounded the corner to 63. – I feel like I could give all these the same score, but I’m gonna give that one a 58. – [Stevie] Peach Mango. – Okay, they do go together well. – Okay, you know what? Something about mango, something about mango keeps that weird taste from coming- – I know what it is. – In at the end. – Because mango has an aftertaste already. – Whoa. – So, you’re just starting to forgive it. – 75, mango. – 74. – Whoo! – [Stevie] Raging Raspberry Hibiscus. – Hibiscus, you can’t put that in a drink. – And put it with rage? You’re gonna make a hibiscus rage? – It’s a 50, I’m sorry, a 50. – I’m not tasting any rage. – Did you taste the hibiscus? – And I’m glad. – Would you know it if you tasted hibiscus? – No, no, which is why I like it, 62. – Would you know it if you tasted high biscuits? – Oh, yeah. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Purple guava pear. – But it’s not purple, it’s clear. So, a purple guava is a thing? – Ooh, okay. As you know, I like purple. That was good, 72, I liked it. 49. – [Stevie] Strawberry blast. – Okay. – This one taste like a soft drink. – Strawberry’s hard to do and they did not do it right, 18. – No, I disagree. It tastes like it’s more carbonated, 59. – So enthusiastic. – I mean, I don’t any of them- – For a 59. – But I’m surprised by it. – [Stevie] And that concludes the fruity category. Let’s move on to the candy and dessert vibes category. – Oh, really, candy and dessert. It’s so hot. – It is hot, it’s real hot. Okay. – [Stevie] And let’s start with Candy Apple Crisp. – Okay. – Yeah, that’s accurate. – This is a total readjustment. – Total readjustment, which actually I think that candy flavors, because they already taste like something unnatural really work well with the unnatural vibe of an energy drink. – I know, it’s punching me in the face and turning me into a child. – 73, 73. – 73 for me, too. – Okay. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Cotton candy. – Oh, you don’t like cotton candy, do you? (crew laughs) Accurate, but not something I wanna drink. – Yeah, it’s very accurate, 19. – 50. – [Stevie] Swirly Pop. – Okay, that’s interesting. – Swirly Pop. – That sounds like a wrestling move. – There’s BO in it. – Oh, now you got me tasting BO. – BO. – BO. – 10. – 20. (crew laughs) – 20. – [Stevie] Whole Lotta Chocolate. – But it’s clear. – How’d y’all get chocolate in there? (crew laughs) – (coughs) Oh, God, why Bang? – It’s not great, but I think it’s a 57. – Four. Why do you think it’s a 57. – Because a chocolate, a clear energy drink. – It tasted like Yoo-hoo with a little buzz in it. – Ugh. – [Stevie] Power Punch. – Power Punch. Sounds like a wrestling move, mm. – Boof. That’s- – It kind of tastes like nothing. – It’s like if Bang was just a flavor. – 49. – Yeah, 50. – [Stevie] Blue and Yellow Limoncello. – Oh. – But it’s clear. – That tastes very much like limoncello LeCroix, which is not one of my favorite flavors, I’m sorry. I give it 30. – It has a little Mountain Dew to it. – Yeah, you don’t like that. – Like if you forget that Mountain Dew exists, but you want Mountain Dew, then this is for you. I’ll give it a 56 for that. – [Stevie] If you forget that Mountain Dew exists, but you want Mountain Dew. – You heard me. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Stevie] Birthday Cake Bash. – Okay. – How? – You’re gonna be drinking a drink that tastes like birthday cake? You gonna do that? (crew laughs) – I’m just gonna say if you’ve gotten to a place where you’re drinking something that tastes like birthday cake, you should reevaluate your life choices. – I don’t think you’re headed down the right path. You’re not headed towards the firework of life. – You’re not gonna fly like an eagle. – No, I’m a give that a five. – And you can forget about winning and just focus on being (laughs) 18. – [Stevie] Black Cherry Vanilla. – Mm. – It tastes a little bit like medicine, which I like. – Mm, 30. – 61. – [Stevie] Sour Heads. – Now, I feel like this might work because the sourness. (crew laughs) – Yeah. I’m a give that a 71. I’m started to feel feelings. – I think it might be psychosomatic. 72, ’cause can caffeine really be metabolized that quickly? – Mm-hmm. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Root Beer Blaze. – I’m gonna love this. – If you like root beer or if you have amnesia- (crew laughs) And you’ve forgotten that root beer exists, I like root beer, so I’m giving this one a 78. – I’m gonna, I have, it sucks. It tastes like a Necco wafer. – It tastes like root beer. You don’t like root beer, I get it. – I’m a give it an 11. Ugh. – [Stevie] This is a good point to remind everyone watching that at the end we will know what Rhett’s favorite and what Link’s favorite were. – We’re doing that as a service. – [Stevie] So, keep watching, please. – As a service to the people. – [Stevie] Krazy Key Lime Pie with a K. The Krazy’s with a K. – Krazy. – Wow, that’s cool. (crew laughs) – I like key lime pie. I don’t like this. – I feel like this part of my head is separating from this part, like- – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – It’s like my eyebrows are like- – I can tell. – A thought line. – I can tell by looking at you, it’s like (mumbles). – 17. – It’s kind of like opening up. – I once had key lime pie- – I can tolerate it. – On a stick in Key West, dipped in chocolate. (crew laughs) – 59. – I also saw a lot of old ladies’ boobies hanging out because it was, it was, every year down there, they get naked and walk around. – [Stevie] Lemon drop. – Lemon drop. ♪ Let me see your lemon drop ♪ (crew laughs) – Hey, hey, lemon drop. – 52. – I gotta give, I gotta give that a nice 63. I didn’t think it was bad. – Artie you scored it, right? – Mm-hmm. – Yeah, you did. You didn’t like it. – [Stevie] Miami Cola. – Oh, here we go, here’s the brown one. – The only brown one we got. – Miami Cola? – Miami Cola. – I like that name. I wanna like that ’cause it’s brown. – I’ve been lured into a place where this tastes good to me. I’m on the final stretch of my rocket journey and I’m gonna give that a 72. – 67, I kind of like it. – [Stevie] Whole Lotta Pina Colada. – Mm. Is this gonna work? – It tastes exactly like pina colada. – And that’s when I always say sunscreen. – 70. I quite like this one. – 24. – [Stevie] And that concludes the candy and dessert vibes category. – We interrupt this episode of “Good Mythical Morning,” well, I interrupt this episode, I have no clue where Rhett is right now, but I’m gonna find him and heads up, we’re releasing a new video no the Rhett & Link channel this weekend. – You should check it out. It features Rhett and Link acting like it’s the year 1984. – We want you to watch it, so subscribe. (camera clicks) You have to wait a little bit for this. – [Stevie] Finally, we have the wildcard category, a category that includes several flavors with uniquely vague names. – Oh, like we haven’t already had that, beginning with Radical Skadattle. – Mm-hmm. – Own it, Bang, this is your lane right here. Dumb named sour liquids. I’m gonna have to give it a 77. – Oh, you liked it. – That was a 77. – It’s like feeding something to a newborn. You know what I’m saying? Like it’s not a flavor. Like it’s not like this is supposed to taste like that, so I feel like it’s just a baby who’s drinking things. – It’s wildcard, it’s wildcard. It’s wild for the baby, it makes the babies wild. – 66. – Babies are wild for it. – 66. – 66, he says. – [Stevie] Rainbow Unicorn. – Okay, all right. I think its time has passed. Ooh, I really do hate that. And then I like it a little bit, then I like it a lot and then I hate it again. – It’s actually better than- – That means a 50. – A lot of the fruits that I just had. – Yeah, I know, it’s weird, it was weird. – 63. – It was weird. – It was weird, what happened? – [Stevie] Purple Haze. – Purple Haze. This is what Jimi Hendrix drank. Not bad at all. For my purple boy over here, I’m gonna give this one a nice solid 75. – Wow. – Yeah. – You’ve really come alive with these- – Wildcards. – Sort of ambiguous things. – Yep. – I didn’t think it was that good, but I thought it was a 61. – I don’t, I like it when they’re not trying to imitate anything. They’re doing their own thing, they’re banging away. – [Stevie] Frose Rose. Or it could also be Frose Rose. – Is it alcoholic? – Tastes like a Sweetart. It tastes like one we’ve already had. – That one’s milder, which I like. I couldn’t imagine more than three sips of this one. – 57. – So, I think I gotta go to 79. – Well, that’s the highest you’ve given anything. – I know. – Wow. – I like it. – [Stevie] Star Blast. – Okay, I like the name. – Why? – ‘Cause it feels like day one of naming energy drinks. It’s in the first three things that people said. – Star Blast. – Star Blast, let’s start simple. – This isn’t bad, 70. – It’s interesting that you’re liking, ’cause this tastes a lot like what we just tasted. – [Link] Mm-hmm. – Like they’re not changing a whole lot and, for me, they’re not, there’s not doing a whole lot. I don’t dislike it, so I’m in the 60s, again, 63. – Maybe I’ve just been lured into a spot of thinking that I could drink Bang and work for them. – [Stevie] Purple Kiddles. – Another purple? – Purple Kiddles? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Can y’all start calling me that. (crew laughs) – I gotta break to do you, don’t like this purple. – [Rhett] Oh, this is bad. – This one’s not good at all. This is the teens, I’m sorry, 15. – I think it, it’s Skittles without the S. It tastes like a Skittle. – Yeah, they’re trying to make it taste like Skittles. – Without almost telling you. I don’t approve of it, 29. – [Stevie] And that concludes the wildcard round. You have now tasted every flavor of Bang energy drink and your scores will now be tabulated, so we can better determine the top four flavors. – I’m just gonna sit here and tingle. (upbeat music) Can we tell you about our grooming collection? I feel like the Bangs are banging me. We got some, all this stuff. You go to amazon.com/mythical, you can get all this stuff to make your face and your hair and your hands. – Original pomade, clay pomade. – And look good. – Beard balm, a musical comb. – [Link] This is what I use on my hair if you’re wondering. Every freaking morning, I sit here and I work this stuff through my hair and I’m just grateful that we’ve developed it because it’s perfect. – Lotion. – It’s great. – Candy melt. – Peanut butter peppermint. – Peculiarly perfect, let me get the lid back on this thing. – And this made out of wood. – These are high quality products and everybody, everybody will be happy to be getting these things, so, you might wanna do it as a gift. – Everybody will be happy to be getting the things. – And if you get amnesia and then you’re like, you know what, I want to treat myself. – I love the way you put lotion on. – This is the way I do it. I don’t like- – Like a praying mantis trying to mate. (crew laughs) – I do not put lotion on the inside of my hands. That’s the last place you want lotion. – The praying mantis, the female- – This is where you want lotion. – After copulation will often consume the male. Pretty sexy. (crew laughs) – Not from my perspective. – Stevie, what are our finalists? – [Stevie] Yeah, I didn’t know where the landing was, like what that CTA was, but it was about the female praying mantis, so I should’ve known, that’s on me. According to you, the top four flavors in no particular order- – Hold on, real quick, though. – Too late. – Stevie- – It’s too late, it’s too late. – [Stevie] Radical Skadattle, which I think should be Radical Skadatical ’cause that rhymes more, Candy Apple Crisp, Peach Mango, Sour Heads. And before you go through those, Rhett, your favorite flavor was Root Beer blaze and, Link, yours was Frose Rose. – Yeah, girl, let’s get our rose. – Hey, this is why we do this. This is why we decided that whoever, our individual flavors would be highlighted because every once in a while, it might be the case, this is the first time ever I think that neither one of our favorites makes it to the top four. – All right, let’s start tasting these. – Let’s start tasting these. Here’s some of this. Here’s some of that. I’m definitely, I’m definitely a little wired. – Yeah, it’s starting to accumulate for me, as well. – Starting to tingle. I do like the fact that they’re all mixed up. – Now, listen, we might get these mixed up. We might get these mixed up, so you gotta be careful. – So, let’s just stay together. (Link slurps) That one’s better. – Better ’cause it’s got some flavor that kind of like hits you a little bit, you know. – Hmm, not as good as that one to me. – But better than the first one. – And I think we need another- – What? – Here, just sip out of that. – No, no, no. Just catch one, okay. Hold on, you broke it, you broke it, it’ll leak. You broke that one, tool, it’ll leak. (crew laughs) There you go, nice and soft. – Okay, there you go. – Nice and soft, okay. – Nice and soft. – Sweet and smooth. – Tastes like cotton. – It does taste like linen scent. – It tastes like cotton. – I don’t know what happened. – Hold on, it tastes like detergent. – Yes, this one’s gone. I don’t know what we were thinking. – Throw it out. – Sour Heads tastes like linen air freshener. – To me, there’s a very clear winner and there’s a very clear last place of these three. (Link slurps) Boy, I’d hate to go to Santa Barbara with you. – Okay. Yep, yep, yep. – So this. – Get it? – Is it that? – Yeah. – This? Ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to crown the bangingest of bangs. – The ultimate banger. (crackers pop) – Candy Apple Crisp. – Candy Apple Crisp. – Candy Apple Crisp. It’s so nice to you.
