GMM 2445: International Cheetos Taste Test

It ain’t easy bein’ internationally cheesy. – Let’s talk about that. (trippy electronic music) (air spinning) (egg cracking) (flame igniting) (trippy electronic music fading) – “Good Mythical Morning!” – And welcome to season 24! (everyone cheering) – Yes! And for our 24th season, we’re paying homage to that Kiefer Sutherland show, “24,” by doing every episode in real time. – I mean, except for some rare exceptions, I think we always do the show in real time. – Are we just now realizing that “GMM” has always been an homage to Kiefer Sutherland’s “24”? – I think we are. I can’t believe it, but I couldn’t think of a show more worthy of honor than “24.” – This show, and especially this season, is for you, Kiefer. – Yeah. And to ring in 24 seasons, we’re celebrating around the world, well at least around a map, and getting our international Cheeto on. It’s time for- ♪ “Where in the World ♪ ♪ Do These International Cheetos Come From?” ♪ (playful rhythmic vocals) (air whooshing) – [Stevie] Okay boys, in each round, you’ll taste an international Cheetos flavor or variety, and subsequently throw a dart at the country you think it came from. After you throw your dart, Chase the cheese dust digits cartographer, will measure how far you are from the correct answer. – Oh Chase, you’ve got the cheese dust digits. – Yeah, I maybe dipped into the bag a little bit before the episode started. (laughing) – [Link] Okay. – (sniffing) And my nose is itchy. (Chase sneezing) Ah! – [Stevie] Just fingers, or toes too? – Yeah, my toes might have a little cheese dust on ’em. I’ll maybe break those out a little later. (laughing) – Okay, I’m excited for that. – [Chase] Ah, good. – Your loafers are like baskets. – They’re huaraches. – [Rhett] Yeah, I’m a big fan, big fan, big fan. – Huaracheetos. (laughing) – Big fan. – Big fan, big fan of your loafers. – So, we’ve got first one here, shall we taste it, or? – [Stevie] Whoever loses… I have to finish telling you everything else. – Yeah. – [Stevie] Whoever loses gets a cheese spank from the winner, in “Good Mythical More.” I guess we’ll find out what that is. And Link, last time we played, ya lost. So you get this special Cheeto veto advantage, meaning you can veto one of Rhett’s darts and make him rethrow it- – I’m sorry, Stevie, hold on- – [Stevie] In the round of your choice. – I accidentally tasted that Cheeto while you were talking, and good golly Almighty, that’s a hot Cheeto. – This is hot. – [Stevie] Well, that’s what you get when you taste a Cheeto while I’m still talking. – That’s what I get. – Yup, sorry. – You mean to tell me- – And Rhett, you go first. – Oh okay, so I see now that I got this. – Good gosh, they’re good. – I can make you rethrow anything. Whew, that’s too hot. Whew, that’s hot! That’s the hottest Cheeto I’ve ever tasted. And it doesn’t even have a color that would warn you. – It’s deceptive, it’s deceptive. That’s the hottest Cheeto I’ve ever tasted, so much hotter than Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, so much hotter! – Yes. Like, extreme! (Rhett coughing) I know. – I breathed some. – (hiccup) See, I’m getting the freakin’ hiccups. (Link hiccuping) – I’m sorry, Link. I’m sorry I gotta be here for this. (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – It’s the hottest Cheetos I’ve ever tasted, have we both already said that? (hiccuping) – Where would they do this? Surely, not Canada. – It doesn’t even taste good, it’s bad. – No, it actually tastes great. – Oh man, it goes great with coffee, I’ll tell ya that. (Link hiccupping) – Yeah. Boy, if you hiccup in the middle of either my throw or your throw… Okay, where would they do this? – Wow. – It’s gotta be one of those four Asian countries or Brazil, that’s what I’m thinkin’. And those are nowhere close to each other, so. You’ve been to Thailand, right? – (hiccuping) Yeah. – How hot did things get in Thailand? – Oh gosh, so hot. You mean the weather? Everything gets (hiccuping) spicy too. – I mean, Thai food is known for being… Like, some of the hottest curries in the world are in Thailand, you know? – Thailand. – Thailand. So, I’m goin’ straight for Thailand. (Link hiccuping) (dart thudding) A little bit low. I’m getting another one, it’s very addictive. – (hiccuping) Oh. I’m tryna figure out if I need to veto Thailand (hiccuping) ’cause I think that’s the right answer. – You’re gonna break out your veto so early? Okay, well that’s strategy. – But, I can get closer to Thailand. – You probably can, yeah. I’ve actually been there. – Yeah, you have. You’ve laid on a beach eatin’ corn, and you completely forgot it. – No, I haven’t. (Rhett laughing) Alright, here we go. Oh, God. Closer to… – You look equidistant. – I have no second guess. I should have vetoed you. (Rhett sighing) – [Stevie] You just had Mania Red and Green Pepper Cheetos. These fiery hot Cheetos are flavored with a combination of red habanero and green jalapeno chili peppers. And the spicy snack comes all the way from Japan. – Oh! – Ooh man, Japan? (hiccuping) – You got lucky. That’s a good package too, look at that. – Yeah, my throw was luckier. (plastic crunching) These do not play, y’all, good gracious. – That’s real, real hot. – I really thought you were gonna say ghost pepper. – Habanero can do it to you though. – Yeah, Link, you had five. Rhett, 22. – Dang. – I’ll take it. (bell dinging) (playful rhythmic vocals) (air whooshing) – That’s not a Cheeto. – (laughing) I’m afraid if it’s gon’ be hot. Yeah, this is a puff. Cheetos makes puffs though. – I can’t taste anything. – [Link] After that first round. – I know that it tastes like something, but I can’t taste anything. – [Chase] Do you want me to tell you what it tastes like? – Yeah. – Well, you gonna have to tell me too though ’cause I can’t (hiccuping) taste anything either. (laughing) (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – Hmm. It’s not hot, it’s not spicy. – It’s earthy. – There’s a savoriness to it that’s, yeah, kinda like peanuty. – Well Link, you’re in the lead now. – So, (hiccuping) do I go first? – A little cheesy. – A little cheesy. – Sorry, (laughing) I forgot where to go. – Oh, we still have our darts from last time. – Sorry, I’m afraid to touch things right now. – It’s a new season, man, you gotta be on your A-game. – Come on, Chase. – Everything’s really oily that I touch, and cheesy. – What have you been doin’ the past two weeks? – I’m really just into my new loafers, I haven’t really been paying attention. – Yeah. – Okay. I think you’re right, I think it’s peanuty. I really like it. – It’s gettin’ better and better. – I’m down there in South Africa or the Falkland islands maybe. You know they’re gonna do that to us- – They are someday. – I don’t know. Should I take the walk to Poland for this? A lotta taters in Ireland. And when you dig up taters- – It’s a myth, it’s a myth. – Sometimes… – Yeah. – Sometimes, you pull up peanuts too. – A peanut will attach to a potato sometimes. – That’s what I’m sayin’. You’re pullin’ up a tater and you get peanuts. – Yeah, it happens all the time. – That’s what happens- – [Link And Rhett] In Ireland. – They like a lot of root vegetables and there’s nothin’ spicy about it, so- – You know those peanuts that grow as roots. – I’m in that area. They’re underground! – Peanuts are not underground. – Peanuts are… Dude, peanuts are underground. – Are peanuts underground? – In Madagascar. (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – [Stevie] Yeah, yeah, they are. – Peanuts are just seeds that are underground? – They’re not seeds! – [Stevie] That you just like pull… Yeah, you pull up a whole… – They’re nuts. – They’re nuts, dude! – No, they’re legumes. (laughing) – That are made of peas. – Beans aren’t underground though. – Ireland. (dart thudding) Oh, goodness. – Oh, you went towards Canada. – Do you think it’s peanut? – Yeah, that’s why I’m gonna say it’s Thailand. – Ah! (Chase laughing) – Because it’s like Thai peanut sauce. – Okay, let’s see how close you get ’cause I might have to put up my veto Cheeto. – [Rhett] Oh. (laughing) (dart thudding) – Nope, (laughing) not necessary! – Hold on, sure you don’t wanna veto that? – They’re greasy, huh, is that what happened? – Yeah, it’s somethin’ about the grease from Chase’s… It like completely… My hand went forward and my dart didn’t. Maybe that’s south of Africa. – I think it was- – South of Africa. – The ghost of Kiefer Sullivan smatted down your hand. – Why are you callin’ him Sullivan? It’s Sutherland. (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – [Stevie] You just had Peanut Cheetos. This gluten-free puffy Cheetos snack comes with a distinct nutty flavor and is found in Poland. – Oh, I shoulda took the walk! Why didn’t they call these Peatos? That would be a horrible name for a product. – Yeah. (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – Peatos? – Yeah, it would be. Yeah, no one would ever do that. – Peanut Cheeto. Not peanut butter either, that’s the weird thing about it. – Yeah. Wow, they’re good! – You just wowed it, huh? – Alright Link, you had 18. Rhett, 40. – Yeah, that wasn’t great. (bell ringing) – Gettin’ some lucky throws today. – It wasn’t great. (playful rhythmic vocals) (air whooshing) – What is this? This is some- – I feel like I need a spoon. Is this cereal? – Is it like Cheeto curds or somethin’? It’s like little… – It’s cereal, bro. – It’s crunchy, it’s sweet, it’s corny. – Oh, what in the world’s happenin’ there? – Yeah, there’s a weird flavor. – It tastes like a funnel cake. – That’s like the corn… – That is strange, man! – The sweet corn. But, there’s somethin’ that’s not sweet. What is that? (Link crunching concentratedly) – I dunno, I kinda like it. Whoa, too much. – I know what this is. – Well, you go first. You tell me. – I’m not gonna tell you. – Why not? – It’s everything we’ve described, and it’s- – You have an insurmountable lead. – It tastes exactly like it should. (Rhett crunching Cheetos) It’s amazing how much it tastes exactly like the thing that it is. I mean, I’ve had it in America, that’s not one of the options. Oh gosh, (sighing) is this… And Japan’s off the board. This could be a Canada thing. But, who would want that flavor? Maybe it would be Canada? Canada doesn’t like to impersonate America. – Canada doesn’t what? – Like to impersonate America. – Canada does a great American impersonation, one of the best. – That’s what I realized when I spoke out loud. – Yeah, no. Sometimes, you wake up in Canada and you’re like- – “Am I in America?” – “I think I might be in America?” “Am I in America?” – [Link] Canada is technically in America. – Right. Basically, the whole left side of the map is America. – [Link] Right. – You know. – Right. – North and South America. – Right, so Can- – In fact, a lotta people get upset when you call the US America. But it’s the United States of America, it’s just kinda shorthand, you know? – Canada is America, sorry! (laughing) – Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. – And I’m gonna go to the east coast of Canada. (dart thudding) Oh, look at that. – Okay- – New season, new me. – So now that you’ve done that, do you think it tastes like chicken and waffles? – Yes. – Okay, that’s what I was thinkin’ too. – It tastes exactly like chicken and waffles, but as a cereal. And why is it shaped like this if it’s not a cereal? (Link crunching Cheetos) – It might be. – [Link] Who do you think has the chicken and waffles? – I dunno. – China? – Canada, it’s a good guess, but you’ve already got it, and I’m really far behind. So I actually think that making something chicken and waffles flavored, I think it’s something that could happen on the eastern side of the map. I would’ve said Japan, but Japan has already happened. So, I think it might be… I think it actually might be China. I think they’re like… You’re getting too close to me. And you were too close to- – I wanted a better look. (laughing) – Yeah, yeah, this is not… In the future rounds, Chase, could you come sit right on Link’s left knee as he throws? Okay. – [Chase] I can stagger. – I don’t know what what happened to me last time, but I’ve got a really, really… (dart thudding) Okay. – [Link] Whoo! That was tough, man. – Alright, I was really tryin’ not to go low. – Goin’ for China. No veto needed. – [Stevie] You just had Cheetos Corn Chowder Shots. – What? – [Stevie] Corn Chowder Shots. – What? – [Stevie] Uh-huh. Corn Chowder- – Shots, shots? – [Stevie] Shots. When you want a nice hearty soup of corn on the go, you can munch on this in China. – Oh! (laughing) – Boo! – Dang, man! – What? – I got lucky. – Corn Chowder Shots? It tastes just like chicken and waffles. Like, I was so convinced. – Now that… Hold on. But now that you know it’s corn chowder and you had just like a good corn soup, it does taste just like that too. – Alright Link, (laughing) you had 55. – [Rhett] Oh crap. – Rhett, six. – Hmm. (crunching) – The tides have turnt. – That helped. (playful rhythmic vocals) You know what? Because it’s a new season, that means a new mug! – Uh-huh. – That’s right, check out the season 24 mug. We’ve got the cockatrice blowing “Good Mythical Morning,” and it is glow-in-the-dark. – [Link] It’s glow-in-the-dark? – [Rhett] It’s glow-in-the-dark! – [Link] So when it gets dark- – [Rhett] It glows. – [Link] What? – And also if you look at the back, you’d just be like, “Oh, that’s one of the classic “GMM” mugs. – [Link] Mm-hmm. – Oh, no, no. But it’s not, it’s the glow-in-the-dark season 24 mug. – You’re gonna love it. – Get it at mythical.com. – Mm-hmm. Okie-dokie. A Cheeto… I’ve always been one of those like, I the little Cheetos. I don’t like a big Cheeto. – You’re a little Cheeto man? (laughing) – Yeah. (crunching) ‘Cause there’s more flavor. This is a savory one. – Who’s in the lead? – [Stevie] Rhett, 68; Link, 78. – Oh. – Dang, man. – I took the lead from you, which means I have to go first. – That hurts. There’s some sweetness in this. It’s hidden under some meatiness. – I think this tastes like a chicken soup. (crunching) – It really does. I mean, after the corn chowder, now you’re stayin’ in the soup zone. – Like, I’m picturin’ a soup that’s got like chicken parts in it. (crunching) – Well, you don’t have to say it. – Like bones of chickens. – [Link] Bone broth Cheeto? – And I bet you, there’s some kinda like… – Let’s see now, I got my veto here, but… – There’s some kinda like chicken soup in Brazil. That’s a tough guess though ’cause it’s so far from every other thing. – I don’t know, what would be your second guess? – Indonesia, Thailand. You know what? I’m goin’ with Thailand because it doesn’t have any spice to it. And I feel like Brazil might have more spice. (dart thudding) Oh gosh. – Whoo! I love that throw. See, I wanted to veto you, but there’s no reason for me to veto that. I’m only 10 centimeters behind. Oh gosh. Chase, how far is 10 centimeters from his throw to Thailand? Just gimme an idea of what’s 10 centimeters look like? – That’s about 12. – That. – So, what I’m gonna do is I’m not gonna veto you, definitely not gonna do that. And then, I’m gonna try… (sighing) – Thank you, Chase. – I don’t think it’s… Well, just because he asked you to do it. – He’s my boss. – It’s what it feels like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – Okay, I’ma give you a minute. – Yup. – You know what, I’m gonna give you just another few seconds. (Chase laughing) And then, your other boss is gonna ask you to get up. – Okay. (laughing) – Conflicting boss demands. – Yeah. It’s the advantage of two bosses. – Yeah, it’s whoever says it last. – Whoever’s last… – Hey Chase, get up here on your chair. (laughing) – Is the boss… No, this is the boss… This is the boss that… And the way that you’re sit… You didn’t have to sit that way. (Chase laughing) Like, you coulda side saddled it. – No, no, no, this is better. – (laughing) Do you want me to side saddle? – I mean- – Is that the request? – I mean, that’s better than teabaggin’ my thigh. – Oh gosh! – Get up, man, come on. Man, we’re friends and all. – [Stevie] Chase, come back, come back here. (Rhett laughing) – I’ll be right back! (laughing) – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. – Does Stevie want a teabag? – I don’t know if Stevie wants him to sit on her lap or if she just wants him to leave, just leave the shot. We’ll find out. I can’t even see her back there. – Oh my gosh, Chase is now teabagging- – Oh, come on! (laughing) (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – Stevie’s thigh. – [Chase] I’m so uncomfortable! – I mean, is it Brazil or is it Thailand? – Well, if you get any closer to Thailand than me, you’ve got a better answer. – But, on this side of it. (dart thudding) Oh, wrong side of it. – [Rhett] Oh, no, no, that was very good. – [Stevie] You just had Cheetos Garlic Fried Chicken- – Chicken! – [Stevie] Described (laughing) as the perfect combo of crunchy, cheesy, and garlicky. You can snack on this in Thailand. – Yeah. – Oh, good guess, Rhett! – Dang. – Man. – I’m glad I didn’t say Brazil, but dang, I’m such a bad thrower. I’m gonna start practicin’ darts. You’ve been practicin’ darts in your off time? – No, no, no, no. – Alright Rhett, 12. And my chair, three? – Yes, man. – Wow, you’re still down by one though. – That’s how I like it. – Whoa, goin’ into the final round! – Onto the final round. – Whoo! (playful rhythmic vocals) (air whooshing) – One centimeter between us. – They smell strange. – Oh, yeah. I mean, they just look like cheese puffs. (Link crunching thoughtfully) They’re cheesy. Let me smell. I’m learning more from the scent. – I think I might know what that is. – ‘Cause they’re still cheesy, but they smell… Is it like literally cheese toes? – I think I might know what it is, but I don’t wanna say. – ‘Cause it’s got that funky, funky smell. – But, I go first. (crunching) – Mystery round, anywhere on the map. What is that? Is it savory, or is that just the cheese? – So, you have the option of vetoing me. – And Chase, you forgot your thing again, man. – Oh, I’m so sorry, I was wiping off my fingers. The cheese dust, it was too much. – Are you losin’ focus this season? Are you over it? – Chase, what happened to your toes? – Oh also, (laughing) I got my cheese toes. You guys guys are being good, so I thought it was worth it for you. You could see my cheese toes. (laughing) – Oh my God. – Yeah, we just lost some viewers. – (laughing) But you also gained some, so you’re welcome. – Farewell. This is a really bold guess, Link, because there’s so many countries that are not where I’m about to throw this. So statistically speaking, this is a very bad idea. – He doesn’t want me to veto it. (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – I’m aiming for America. (laughing) I mean, the United States. (everyone laughing) – Really, you’re aimin’ for the United States of America? – [Rhett] Aw, dang it, I’m suck so bad. – “I’m suck so bad.” (everyone laughing) Should I veto my boy? What would that even mean at this point? Well, you can’t go for America. – About 80% of the countries on the map are east of my dart. – Exactly. So all I gotta do is be more than one centimeter- – [Rhett] To the right. – Closer to anything. It’s not Canada. As long as it’s not America or Mexico. I like where he is, I’m not gonna veto him. This is not America, dude. There’s somethin’ too weird about it. It’s a meat. – You’re probably right. – It’s a meat. – You’re probably right, man. – It’s a bit… It ain’t America. But, I’m gonna go two centimeters to the east. – Two centimeters? – Oh yeah, well three. – Okay. – What? How many do I… I’m losing. I gotta win. That’s all I need to know. (dart thudding) Oh okay, that’s okay, that’s okay. Yeah, odds are I’ve won. – I think it’s bacon flavor. – [Stevie] You just had Cheetos Cheese and Bacon Balls, perfect for tossing directly into your friend’s mouth. – Oh. (“Mythical” Crew laughing) (“Mythical” Crew laughing) – [Stevie] This breakfasty version of Cheetos balls can be found in Australia. – (laughing) Yes! I was so, so nervous! Hey, you were right, man. Cheese and Bacon Balls! And once you know what they are, they’re better. – They’re good, they’re good, they’re good. (plastic crunching) Man, I thought that we would’ve done the bacon thing ’cause we’re America. – Come on, Chase. You’re slippin’ this season. – [Stevie] Oh, geez! – Right to the back of the throat. – (laughing) Did you hear the sound it made? (Chase coughing) – It stuck right on his esophagus, right on the top. – (coughing) Link, you won. (Rhett laughing) (Chase coughing) Rhett, 60; Link, 47. – Man- – It wasn’t easy. (bell ringing) – That was an exciting way to get season 24 started. – So you get spanked in “Good Mythical More.” – Yeah, I do. – Thanks for subscribin’ and clickin’ that bell. – You know what time it is.
