GMM 2405: Is Anything Better Than Peanut Butter With Jelly? (Taste Test)

PB and say what? – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning! – What do you do when PB and J no longer stands for peanut butter and jelly? Instead, it stands for peanut butter and just kidding because a jelly craze hoard of marmots has consumed all things fruity, viscous, and delicious in your fridge? – Well, what would I do? I would find those marmots and I would take a picture for my Instagram. Just think about all that jelly-covered, cute little marmot face! – Get it together, man! – What… That was so realistic. – What about your sandwich? What pairs better than peanut butter or with peanut butter than jelly? – Oh, good question. It’s time for “Next Best Thing Peanut Butter and Jelly Edition!” Finding the very best jelly understudy for your PB and J sandwich is important work and we’re ready for it. – But before we embark on this exploratory and tasty mission, let’s remember what the original tastes like. You remember PB and J. – Classic. Yeah, I do remember, but I could always eat more. – [Rhett] J for jelly. – It’s sweet. It’s peanut buttery. – It’s hard to beat, man. – It’s perfect for any age and any lunchbox. But I will say, I think I already know the next best thing. Some say it may be better. Peanut butter and honey. – [Rhett] Oh, yeah. – Peanut butter and honey. – I’ve had this. – That’s what they had in Buies Creek Elementary School, man, and ever since then… – Buies Creek Elementary School. – I’ve been loving it! If you never had it. – It really, really works together. But, I mean, we’ve had this before. – You’re missing out. – It’s a little bit obvious. We want some surprise and some discovery! (crew laughing) – Let’s get it. (upbeat classical music) – When you ignore taste, color, and logical reasoning, the similarities between jelly and ketchup are uncanny. They both come from fruit. It’s unreal! Could ketchup be the replacement for jelly that’s been under our noses this whole time? – Probably not, but let’s try to find out. – But it is a sweet, fruity thing. – [Link] It could work. Yeah. (laughs) I like how you… – I like to anticipate- – Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What is that dude? Keep going. Why are you skimping? If we’re gonna try it, let’s try it. – Okay. – That was such a little. Put the same amount as you would a jelly. I like how you. – No, that’s plenty, man. It’s gonna spread it around. – Come on. – It’s a different consistency than jelly. Isn’t that a normal amount? It’s a normal amount of ketchup. I’m not going crazy. – I mean, it is now, kind of. – I’m not going crazy. I just put ketchup on my PB and ketchup. PB and K. Look at you in your knife. He can’t hurt himself with that knife. We’ve tried. – We’ve tried to let him learn himself. I just don’t think you added enough ketchup. – Well, I taste the ketchup. – Ketchup is a lot vinegary than I remembered. – It’s not bad. – Not bad at all. Pretty great. – It’s not bad at all! What? – It’s good, dude. And you know what? You could do more. – Well, now that I know that I could do more, maybe I will. – And you do this first. – Well, don’t go so big. Okay. No, no, no. Put some on. Put some on there. ‘Cause it’s fry, you know? It’s like a fry. That’s plenty. – Okay, whatevs. So, this is something, y’all. – I think I’m piecing it together on why it’s good in my head. If you make lettuce wraps, sometimes, you’ll take ketchup. – Sounds too hard to me. – Yeah, it probably is too hard for you, but you can eat them. Ketchup and I mean, peanut butter and that vinegar sauce together. – [Link] Yeah. – And so there’s a vinegary-ness, a little bit of a fruitiness, and the peanut buttery-ness. I mean, I thought this was gonna taste like crap, but it’s really good. – Yeah. That’s the discovery I’m looking for! Ain’t nothing gonna top that! (upbeat classical music) PB con queso. (Rhett chuckles) Need I say more? – Maybe. – So we got a medium level here. Do you want to grab a spreader? – You’re so aggressive with how much stuff you put on things. I was worried. – [Link] Well, you don’t want to go too light. – I know, but you wanna do it like. Okay, that’s good. That was a good amount. That was good. That was good, that was good, that was good. – See that right there? That looks good, doesn’t it? Doesn’t that look good? – It’s nice and easy spreading. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! (crew laughing) – Just a little bit more. – [Rhett] Okay. So do that. – All right. There we go. “Have it your way,” he says. – Well, I mean, this is why we don’t let you cook. – That was too much. And then you go with that. – Because you make, like, weird decisions and people don’t like when weird decisions are made when they’re about to eat something. – No. No. – You know. – Well, this is here for later. – Okay. – [Link] You wanna do a little cut? You going with the diagonal, too? – [Rhett] I am. – That always just sends a message of like- – Care and love. – You’re special. You’re special. – There you go. – When you go with, okay, Now, that looks good, don’t it? – [Rhett] It actually does. – [Link] It do. – Hold on, before you eat it. – Man, you couldn’t have gotten much closer. – Tell me the best type of cracker. – The best type of cracker? – Nabs. Nabs is what, Link? – [Both] Cheese and peanut butter! – Rhett. – Y’all know about that? – You stinker. – That’s the best cracker you could get in the south. – But it’s not medium con queso. Not bad, though. – But it’s still pretty dang good. – Is it better than the… – You can put anything on a peanut butter sandwich. – It kind of mixes with the peanut butter. It’s like… – How is it so good? – It doesn’t compliment it as much as the ketchup does, I don’t think. – I don’t disagree. – The ketchup was surprising and a compliment. This is like, it’s almost like doubling down on like, thickness. – That’s not what I was gonna say. But do you know what would probably work better than this? Cheez Whiz. The thing that’s making it not work for me is the fact that there’s salsa. If you take the peppers out and you just went with Cheez Whiz and peanut butter, which I’m sure somebody on Reddit has done, it would be better, but it does not top ketchup. – This was very close, but I’m suggesting that we leave the ketchup up there. – I don’t even think we have to put the queso up there at all. – This is kind of what I picture happening, but we don’t have to keep doing that. (upbeat classical music) – Follow me here. PB and J has an ampersand. Sweet and sour sauce has an ampersand. (laughs) (crew laughing) It’s gotta work. – Boy, the rewards for following you continue to pay off. – (laughing) Okay. Get a smell of that. Is that what you would’ve said sweet and sour sauce smells like? – No, it smells like cocktail sauce. – I think this is what sweet and sour sauce smells like. – A little sweet and a little sour? – What, do you wanna stick your fingers in there? – Well, I was gonna grab it. – Well, I’ll pour it for you. – [Link] Pour it. – I’m gonna pour. (knife clanking) Okay. – That’s good. Good consistency of like, a very thin jelly, so. – I think this might do the same thing that the ketchup was doing and reminding me of that Thai peanut sauce. But this goes a step further. – Right. – Because it’s already got the sourness of the vinegar. Pineapple juice. – You weren’t as special this time, dude. I tried to go for a rip, but it didn’t work. I mean, and for an unsuspecting victim, I mean, friend- – [Rhett] You might think it was. – [Link] That’s just PB and J. It’s got that look about it. – Too strong. – Not loving it. – It’s too strong. I think if we redid it with less. I would’ve done less, but I feel like I’ve been pressured to do more condiments. – [Link] That looks like the right amount. – I feel like if it was just, you know how like, if you’re- – It’s making it too savory. – If you’re trying like, Marmite or Vegemite and you gotta do the teeny little layer of it, that’s how you do it, right? – Well, just grab a little corner. I don’t like it ’cause it has, yeah. It’s that… – It’s over savory. – Mm-hmm. – It’s over savory. – This one’s not even close. – The garlic, green bell pepper, onion powder. – I’m gonna have to go back to peanut butter and honey, just to erase that. (upbeat classical music) Sporked has taste tested and ranked the eight best peanut butters. You think you know what the best peanut butter is? Well, check out, see if you agree with them or if you wanna try one that you never tried before. That’s what Sporked does. – Yeah. – To tell you what to get to the grocery store so you don’t get the wrong stuff. Also, best almond butters and best powdered peanut butter. – I like powdered peanut butter. – I use all of these things. – At the same time. – On a weekly basis. – Every day. – Go to sporked.com to read the full rankings. – Okay. I feel like I’m still tasting the garlic from Monday. From that garlic sub. – [Link] Yeah. – Let’s try some more. We also just moments ago said that the reason we didn’t like the sweet and sour sauce is because of garlic, so let’s just try minced garlic. – I remember that! – Yeah. – Yeah. Since we didn’t like it, let’s go all the way. Spoon? – You wanna spoon this and you wanna make sure that you get some of that liquid out and you want to go really easy on this. It goes so far. Like, you don’t even necessarily- (Link groaning) Like, you want to see pieces of individual pieces of garlic not even touching. – Hey, man. Listen. – [Rhett] Okay. – I’m not gonna be crazy on this one ’cause- – [Rhett] Okay. That’s good. That’s good. – And then you’re just gonna like, move that around. – [Rhett] Spread that around. Just kind of distribute it nicely. It’s hard to see. It’s deceptive, you know? – Maybe you should have put it on the peanut butter side. – I’m just making sure I get it all the way to the edge. Okay and I’m actually gonna take the peanut butter side and drop it. – Since Monday, this is like re-upping on your warts. If the sub didn’t get rid of the warts, now- – My warts are gone, man. – [Link] By this time of week. – Even the elbow wart. – I’ve been traumatized by that story. How many warts were on your hand, did you say? – Hey, listen, you were my best friend at the time. – I mean, I’m the one who brought it up, but I was thinking about- – You couldn’t really see them. – You had a bunch on your elbow. – They were like- – More than one. – Yeah, there was a bunch on the elbow. You couldn’t really see the ones on my hand. It would be like, oh, there’s a kind of raised white spot. It was technically a wart. I didn’t look like a witch, like Gargamel or something. – It’s okay smelling. It’s like, two of the most pungent things together. – It probably is good to eat when you’re sick. You know? It’s like a recipe. – I don’t like it. It makes it taste turnt. And I don’t mean like a night at the club. – It’s better than the sweet and sour. – Oh, yes. – By itself. – Yes. Yes, I’ll give it that. – And I think it had to do with my ginger placement. When I say ginger placement, I’m not talking about ginger, which you might be, you know, tempted to think ’cause I’m talking about garlic and sometimes, people put garlic and ginger. – I wasn’t. – I’m talking about the nature of how I put it on there. – I was thinking of like, a redheaded person. – I put it on there. No, I didn’t do it. But you know, I have found that gingers do things gingerly. Have you ever seen a redhead come into a room and just start like, throwing stuff around? It doesn’t happen. – It’s the pressure. It’s the pressure of being a ginger. – Oh, you think they’re trying to live up to the name? – Yeah. Yeah. I think we need to give them the day off. – Trevor, are you a ginger? – [Trevor] Yeah. Not super ginger. Like a strawberry blonde. – So do you do things gingerly? I’ve never seen you do too many things aggressively. – [Trevor] I’m a pretty ginger person. Yeah. – Yeah. See? – Choke yourself right now. – [Trevor] What? (crew laughing) Cut that out. (upbeat classical music) Cotton candy is one of the few foods that actually melts in your mouth, which sounds promising in this scenario. – Yeah, it does. – But I don’t see cotton candy anywhere and I think I know what that means. – Happy Cotton Candy Day, daddies. – Hey, Randy. – Hey, Randy. – I brought you some fluff from my face to put in your mouth. – Oh, I love this! Thank you. – [Randy] You wanna hear a sweet nothing? – Yes. – (breathing heavily) I get secretly aroused when people roast me in the comments. Every time someone says that I’m cringe, I get a warm feeling in my filth area. – (chuckles) Keep the comments coming. (crew laughing) – You can never dance like nobody’s watching ’cause I’m always watching. (crew laughing) – Thank you, Randy. – Yeah, no problem. – Don’t like that. He’s been reading my Instagram bio. – The thing about cotton candy is that… – It’s compressible. – [Rhett] You can get a lot of it. – That’s what you’re thinking. See, now you’re coming around and you’re touching all of it. – Actually, you know what? See, the part I touched comes off. See? – (laughs) Yeah. That’s pretty cool. – [Rhett] And that’s just for me. – Do you need a hand with this or should I just stand here behind the ketchup? – Oh, we’re gonna let you ta taste it. – Heck, yeah. – Well, you’re gonna have to like… – Can you do a three-way cut? Let’s see how your fractions work. Okay, this. Okay. Somebody’s gonna get slighted. – Like a Mercedes symbol, man. – [Rhett] Yeah. – You know. When you have three siblings. – See if you can get that through your face. – This is gonna be a challenge. (Link and Rhett laughing) I’ve never been great with eating. – [Rhett] Look at this. Here we go. – Open wide. (laughs) Look how tall that is. – Oh! The peanut butter’s a nice little touch. – Super sweet. – I don’t mind it. – What? – I don’t mind it. – Dad o’ mind it? – He don’t mind it. – Yeah, I don’t mind it. (Link laughs) – He got a little- – Dad don’t mind it. – He got a little peanut butter on his. – Oh, man. Now, you’re roasting me. But my secret is that I love it. – Yeah, I’ve heard. I mean, peanut butter and honey has that like, ultra sweetness added. – Okay, let’s be honest. It’s not better than the ketchup. – This is not better than the ketchup. – But if you do that. If you bring a cross section like that. – To a party? – To a party. – You gonna get turnt. – A kid’s party. – And I mean in a wild kid’s party kind of way. – If you would like, you know one of those situations where like, you walk into a room and all the kids scream with glee? That only happens in movies. That’s really hard to happen in real life. – Uh-huh. – You can make it happen with this. And especially, I mean, I could have gone a two stacker. The bigger the cross section, the bigger the cheer from the children. Children are so easy to fool. – Don’t you think, Randy? – Oh, yeah, man. You can lure those little ding bats anywhere. – Okay. Sorry I asked. – Yeah. – Are you gonna be cool if we just give you this so that you can leave and this stays? – Oh, heck yeah. Can I have the knife, too? – No. No. I’m not allowed to touch knives. – Here you go. – Oh, heck, yeah. Some guys are big wife guys. I’m a big knife guy. – (laughs) Right. – All right, bye, daddies. – Bye. – Bye, Randy. (upbeat classical music) In Spanish, the letter J makes the H sound. So in Mexico, PB and J could mean PB and horseradish. Think about it. (laughs) Let’s try it. – All right, dude. Smell it out. That’s strong. Do you know- – You gotta go easy on this, too. – The main ingredient in horseradish. You know what it is? – Horse. – No. – Radish. – No, you’re all over it. It’s horseradish. – Oh, snap! It’s both of them. A little dab will do you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! – You really want to give it a fighting chance? – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – So, we went very light. You know the second ingredient? Vinegar, then water and corn starch. I didn’t know that horse radish… – [Rhett] Didn’t have horse in it. – Is it just a? It’s a radish, I guess. – Again, nice and easy. You’re upsetting more than just me right now. – We gotta get on with it, man. This one’s gonna suck. Yeah, that sucks. Don’t try to tell me it doesn’t. I think the thing is is that you need more. – What? – I think you need more. – No. I don’t need more, dude. – You’re the guy that likes more. – [Link] It’s so bad. – You’re the guy that likes more. – I can’t do it. – No, you’re the guy that likes more! – I can’t do it! – You’re the guy that likes more. Yeah! – It’s like, apparently, the main ingredient in shrimp cocktail sauce is horseradish ’cause that’s what this tastes like. – Is it better when there’s more? – It’s not better when there’s more. – Okay, well, you had to- – Maybe you already knew that. – You had to try. – We had to try. – Was this a joke? (crew laughing) Y’all joking on us? (upbeat classical music) Fun fact. The first person to put relish on a hotdog was sentenced to death. Now, the punishment was unrelated to the relish, but the point is I’m willing to put my life on the line to try new things. – Is that true? – No. – Okay. – [Rhett] Okay. A spoon, please. – Relish spoon. Oh. Me? – And I feel like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel like you should relish this like you would a hotdog. – I know. It’s like, it could work. It could work. Think that there’s something- – [Rhett] Please don’t rip it. – [Link] I’m gonna go special again. – Oh, look how the vinegar is being absorbed. – Yeah. – Into the top layer of bread. – And if you open this in your lunchbox, the whole top piece of bread is gonna be a yellow. – [Rhett] If you’re lucky. – Peanut butter and pickles. When does that happen? – When you’re pregnant. – When you’re pregnant. – Yeah, this is a pregnant sandwich. – I’m not pregnant. – If you eat this and you don’t like it, you’re not pregnant. You don’t need to pee on anything. – But if you peed on this, it probably wouldn’t make it any worse. – It’s not bad. I’m just not pregnant. – I wish I was pregnant so I could find out what this tasted like if I thought it was good. – It’s not bad. I like pickles. Somebody out there loves this, but the revelation today was in round one. Put ketchup. – Nothing could top the, what’s that called? – PB and K. – PB and K. So I gotta tell you, you gotta try it. I’m obligated to say that because of the level of discovery I experienced today. – And because of big ketchup in the deal we have with them. – Yes. Thanks for subscribing to clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – For some reason, people call us Justin and Cody, but I’m actually alternate universe Link. – And I’m alternate universe of Rhett. – And we come from a delicious dimension where you eat peanut butter, jelly, and ranch. – And pop chows and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Well, they nailed the demeanors. – Yeah. The ranch added but not in place of the jelly? – Click the top link to watch us try and tell the difference between normal condiments and condiments made from powder in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land.
