It’s not delivery and it’s also not really pizza. – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat electronic music) Good Mythical Morning! – There’s pizza and then there’s pizza flavor. Oftentimes, snacks with pizza flavor tastes like if pizza was a ghost with unfinished business haunting the inside of your mouth. But is there a pizza flavored snack with flavor so authentic, we might think of it as pizza the undead? You get what I mean? – Not really, but it actually sounds like a great movie. But today, it’s a YouTube taste test. It’s time for “Super Snack Flavor Match Pizza Edition.” (upbeat jazz music) – [Stevie] Today, you’ll be trying a lineup of pizza flavored snacks and giving them each a rating of one to 10 not based on how much you like them, but on how close they come to that one of a kind pizza flavor. The snack with the highest overall score will be given the coveted title of Pizza Snack Brian. – Aha. – So all the pizza flavored snacks are coveting that title? – They are. They told me. – Let’s remember what pizza tastes like. You remember? – Pizza tastes good. – We got pepperoni because when they say pizza flavored stuff, as you’ll see, a lot of times, even though they don’t say pepperoni, they show pepperoni pizza. – And pepperoni pizza is very nice. – It’s very nice. – What do you wanna start with, Link? – Why don’t we start with Pringles? – Oh! – The internet says that Pringles pizza flavored are- – Yeah, that’s how they say it. – The best pizza flavored snack. – They always say it just like that. Whenever they’re typing on the internet, the people are like- – Pringles pizza flavored. – Pringles pizza flavored. No, they say it’s the best pizza flavored snack. – They’re well respected. – But like Stevie said, we’re not gonna be one to 10. – We don’t care about that. – How much we like it. It’s how much it’s like pizza. – And I might need that pizza back, just to keep the flavor going. – Well, I’ll just keep it here, just so you can look at it. It’s got a light dusting of I would call a pinkish material. – And look how they do it. The way they make you think about it on the can here is pizza sauce, a whole big Pringle, and then another pizza and then a box. It’s weird. – It’s… – It tastes like a Pringle. – It tastes like a Pringle, but then wait for that aftershock. I wouldn’t know that I was eating a pizza flavored thing. – ‘Cause it’s so cheesy. It’s the after aftershocks. – Maybe this is a lick daddy situation. – Of peppermint. Yeah, let’s lick daddy it. (crew laughing) I just licked that chip right back in the bowl. – Take it. It’s not that one, is it? – No, it touched all of them because that’s how Pringles pizza flavored work is they stack on top of each other, so my tongue essentially just licked all of the flavors. – No chips spoon like Pringles. Now, when you lick daddy it. – It’s more pizza. But it’s still cheesy. Mostly cheese. – And I’m not complaining. I gotta agree. It’s an amazing little snack here. – You seem like you gotta gather yourself. – I’m just having a tough time knowing where to put this. On a scale of one to 10, I’m still gonna give it a nice, because of the lick daddy, seven. – That’s crazy high, man! You really? – It it really hits you with the… Cheese is all over pizza. – [Rhett] Yeah. – So to say that it’s cheesy and then there is a pepperoni in the lick daddy. – Five. – Okay. All right. For total of 12. – 12. (upbeat jazz music) Okay, Combos has two different pizza flavors, including a pizzeria baked pretzel flavor, but they also have pepperoni pizza. That’s what we’re going to try. – Of course. – ‘Cause that’s what we’re comparing it to. – Yes. Filling made with real cheese. You know how Combos were originally distributed? I mean, not distributed. Invented. – Yeah. – They were probably distributed on trucks. – Somebody, one guy at the Combos factory. One guy at the pretzel factory had a pretzel and he held it up and the other guy was like, “Is that a pretzel?” And he pointed too hard, too deep. – Yeah and he had cheese on his finger. – And he had cheese on his finger. – That’s it. And then they put it on trucks and distributed it. – Yeah. – This is my wife, Christy. I don’t know why I have to specify. Only have one. (crew laughing) – Your wife is a Combo? – This is my wife, Christy. (laughs) Apostrophe S favorite snack. She loves these things. – My wife Christy’s favorite chip is Pringles pizza flavored. – Oh. – This tastes more like pizza. Why? – [Link] Because it’s got that meatiness. – And also? – Trucks? – No trucks. – Delivered on trucks. – The pretzel serves as the crust of the pizza! – Oh, yeah! I don’t like them that much. – [Rhett] But it’s bread, not potatoes. – Christy is not threatened around me ’cause she knows I’m not gonna take these Combos. They’re really good for you, though. – What part of the combo do you not like, though? The pretzel or the inside? – The pretzel. – All right, well, I got an idea. – What? – You’re gonna drive your wife wild with this. – Okay. – But it involves- – You mean in another way? – Yeah. I’m gonna just throw some elements out there. You piece it together. – Okay. – It involves the Combo and your tongue and you just get what you want out of the Combo and then you show her. Then you look at her through the pretzel. Wink at her through the pretzel. All right. It’s just, you know. You can workshop it. – These aren’t as good as the Pringles. – What? – But that’s not what we’re judging. But they are much more like pepperoni pizza. – Eight. – I gotta give it an eight, too. That is a total of 16. – [Rhett] That’s right. (upbeat jazz music) – Now, we got Pork King Good, man! Pork King Good! – Yeah, you get the joke. – Pork rinds. – Link, this is the only woman-owned pork rind manufacturer in the United States right here. – That’s great to know. What’s her name? – Her name is Lauren Koston. – That’s one of my favorite names. Lauren. – She founded it in 2018. – I love it. You’re our only hope, Lauren. Keep it going. We need women… – Making pork rinds. – Scraping them pork rinds. – Scraping thme. – I mean, this one’s got a good chance because it’s the only one that that’s actually made of pork. Just like, well, pepperoni is made of pork, usually and this is definitely made of pork skin. – Pepperoni, I think often, has beef, also. Beef pepperoni, pork pepperoni, beef and pork pepperoni. Little spice. – It hits with that pork rind. – It’s tough to overcome a pork rind flavor. – Yeah. – It makes me think about where it comes from to the point where it makes me uncomfortable. And since I’m there, I’ll go ahead and give you this fun fact. There was a weird question posted on the Pork King Good website. – I was hoping you wouldn’t say this. – “Why are there purple and black spots on this one pork rind and can I eat it?” (laughs) And then the official answer from Lauren. – We don’t know if Lauren wrote this. I mean, somebody who works for her. – Pork King Good. “All of our pork products are USD inspected and certified quality. Meat that has been federally inspected and passed for wholesomeness is stamped with a round purple mark. The dye used to stamp the grade and inspection marks onto a meat carcass. – Yeah. There you go. They said it. – Is made from a food grade vegetable dye and is not harmful. So yeah, you can eat it. It’s a stamp. – Quit reminding me that this is a meat carcass, please! – Somebody stamped the skin of a pig carcass and then Lauren fried it up for you and it’s vegetable dye. It’s good. – You’re pinning a lot of this on Lauren. – Can you find? Let’s find some purple ones. I don’t think it tastes like pizza that much, dude. – No. – It tastes too much like a pork skin. – Right now, I’m giving it a one, but if I find a purple stamp, I’m gonna give it a three. – There a purple stamp in here? – That’s like a new game. I mean, what are the chances that we get one that’s been stamped? I mean, low, probably. – I can’t bring myself to eat anymore of this. – I’m sticking with a one. This tastes like a pork rind. There’s nothing pizza about it. Sorry. Apologies to Lauren. – I licked daddied it and it’s gonna give me a two. That’s a total of, what’d you say? Zero? (crew laughing) – You know what? Just for Lauren. – [Link] Did you say one? – I’ll go to a two. Give her a four. – [Link] Okay. That’s a total of four, Lauren. (upbeat jazz music) – How about fish that tastes like pizza? Goldfish. – I get it. All right. I’m just taking Goldfish so far. – It’s amazing how… – They’re so much darker. – Goldfish flavor is so prominent. Like, you don’t. Like, if I just ask you to just imagine Goldfish flavor right now, you’d be like, I don’t know, give me one to taste. But I can’t, you know? You gotta taste it in your mind and I don’t think most people would know what it tastes like in their mind. – What? You couldn’t taste it in your mind? – Imagine the flavor of Goldfish having not tasted it. – Can’t do it. – I think it’d be hard. It’s a very specific flavor. – Wait, where’s the pepperoni pizza? I mean, I don’t get it. I don’t get it. A couple of fun facts to kind of cheer me up. Julia Child was going to put Goldfish crackers out as an appetizer and did you know, it took 40 years. – You said she’s known to or she’s going to? – She’s known to. – It sounded like you said she’s going to and I’m like, hold on. – Julia Child is gonna put out some Goldfish. – Are we invited? I thought she was dead. – Yeah, she’s dead, but she was known to do it. And it took 40 years before the Goldfish cracker smiled. – [Rhett] Really? – [Link] Yeah, look at him smiling. – Took him 40 years to figure that out. – Well, you know. – And nobody cares. – They had to get the kids out of the house. Had to get on the right medications. A lot of things to figure out. – Right. Yeah. – But once everything got regulated, the smile started coming. – They’re good. – No pepperoni, though. – The thing they didn’t do that Pringles did, they didn’t go hard with the cheese. – They didn’t go hard with anything. I’m disappointed in you, Goldfish. – It’s a good cracker, but I’m gonna give you a two for pizza flavor. – I’m also gonna give you a two. – You tied Lauren. – That’s a total of four.

Dogs have opinions, too. – Oh, goodness. – Dogs have no taste buds, apparently, based on the way this smells. – I mean, it looks like. It’s the most bacon looking dog treat I’ve ever seen. – You ever done that with a piece of bacon that perfect? – I’m no Try Guy, but this is pretty compelling. – Okay. I’m searching. – Searching for what? – [Rhett] The explanation. – I’m pretty sure that one of the Try Guys is in a commercial for Beggin’ Strips. – Oh. – Yeah. – Oh, I didn’t know that. – Yeah, I think he’s in it twice as much as his dog. – Oh, I’m already eating it. – Yeah, I don’t know if I want to eat it. And I’m known for like dog food. – You’re the dog food guy. – I’m kind of jealous of the Try Guy ’cause he’s in a commercial for these. It could have been me eating this. – You’re gonna like it. – I bet he doesn’t eat it in the commercial! – You’re gonna like it. – Does it have bacon in it? It’s alive! Because is that cheating, if it does? – I don’t know. – What is in this, before I eat it? – No, no. You’ve already put it in your mouth twice. Just bite down and chew. It’s actually not that bad. It gets worse the more that you start realizing that you’re not a dog as you’re eating it. But Link, here are the ingredients. – Wait. – Here are the ingredients in order. Pork. That was the first one. Barley, ground wheat, rice, soybean meal, oatmeal, sugar, ground yellow corn. – It’s very sweet. – Wheat flour, water, glycerin, soy flour. Still haven’t gotten to bacon. Soy protein concentrate. Bacon! There it is. – But you said pork at the top. – Yeah, pork’s not bacon. – No. – All bacon is pork, but not all pork is bacon. – Oh, man, you had to think about that. – Put that on a t-shirt. (crew laughing) Put that on a t-shirt. – He’s not a Try Guy, either. – No. Natural pizza flavor. There it is. What’s natural pizza flavor? (crew laughing) – (laughs) I don’t know. I guess they just scrape natural pizza. – Yeah, where do you get that? Is that like, on a rock somewhere in Wisconsin? Oh, there it is! Natural pizza flavor. We found it again. Get out the scraper, Joel. – It’s so not good. – It’s definitely Joel. – Joel got one of them. – [Rhett] He’s got the scraper. – He’s got one of those sun hats. – Oh, yeah. He’s never getting sunburned, boy. Joel gets burnt so quick, man. He’s so pale. – Yeah, he’s got one of those things on the back. It’s a big brim hat, but then on the back, it’s got a flap. – Yeah, man. – And the flap goes all the way down. – You find a pizza rock, Joel’s in there. He’s like, “Got it, boss.” He’s got gloves on ’cause he even gets burned on his hands. – Yeah. Yeah. – Not an ounce of skin showing on Joel. – Yeah. – Okay. How do you feel about this? I didn’t taste any pizza. – I didn’t taste any pizza. – All Joel’s work for naught. – Because they don’t think that the humans are gonna eat it. – Right. We find this quite a bit when we taste dog food. – Right. – Every time. – They never thought we would. – Every time. – Yeah. They never thought we would. – We realized what you guys been doing to the dogs. – It’s not great in general, but then because of there’s no pizza, I gotta give it a zero on the pizza scale. – I didn’t taste any pizza, but I just feel like because they tried so hard. – Don’t smell any pizza. – Hold on. We were saying bacon. (crew laughing) And then I said, “Bacon!” – Yeah. (laughing) – For a second, I thought we were trying to find bacon flavor. – I thought we were. – And we still didn’t find it. – No. Why dot we keep saying? – We’re dumber than dogs. (Link and crew laughing) – Is there pizza on the list, is what I mean. – Yeah, Joel found the natural pizza flavor. – Yeah. – On the rock in Wisconsin. – Is there bacon in this? – Yeah. Yeah. – Is there pizza in it? – There’s natural pizza flavor, but it’s like, the 50th ingredient. – All the questions are legitimate questions. – One. I’m gonna give a one for Joel so he can keep his sunscreen regimen going. – Doesn’t taste like bacon. Doesn’t taste like pizza. – [Rhett] For a total of one. – One. (upbeat jazz music) Nobody wants to be pizza Brian, it seems like. – We got one more chance with a food that I’ve never actually paid for. It’s always been given to me for free at a bar. It’s Gardetto’s. I would not been able to tell you that what the brand was. – Oh, yeah. – But you know, you get this little snack mix. This is specifically the pizzeria naturally flavored snack mix. – Uh-huh. – Okay, Gardetto. – Hey, right off the bat, this tastes like pizza. – Whoa. – [Link] Or I guess it’s supposed to taste like a pizzeria. – Like, you just walk into a pizzeria with your mouth open. Which is how I’ll enter every pizzeria. – Yeah. Oh. (crew laughing) – I’m in a pizzeria. – They got the tablecloth and everything. – Oh. Oh, there’s a pizza oven back there. – [Rhett] Man, y’all did it, y’all! – Somebody want that Brian. – Bring in the Combos. This has gotta be head to head. Gardetto! – The original bite. – How’d y’all? – We both raised our eyebrows. – Yeah. Why you open it in the pack? – Because I had it. Your eyebrow. Oh, there it goes. Your eyebrow raised. But it takes a beat. With this, the eyebrow raises immediately. Wow. That’s it, man. – Hold on now. – Gardetto’s tastes like a pizzeria. I’m gonna even eat some real pizza. – Is Joel working with them, too? Let me see. – His name is Joel Gardetto. No, John. Close. He ran a bakery in the 30s and made crunchy breadsticks, which are too long for his packaging. – Too long for his packaging? – Yeah, he trimmed off the nubs, but not wanting to waste them, he salted them and threw them in a bag with other crunchy bread type things. I’m gonna give it a nine. I’m gonna give it a nine. – There’s no natural cheese pizza flavor, though. – Listen to your eyebrows. – [Rhett] Hold on. This, I feel like I gotta take my duty very seriously. – You are. You know what’s happening. Now, they’re not the best snack. Those Pringles are pretty great. And yes, these Combos are really great. But this is the most pizza-like. – The pretzels get in the way. But these things? – [Link] Yeah. – [Rhett] And this thing. – Yeah. You’re gonna give it a what? – Especially that part. – For a total of 18. What are you gonna give it? Come on. I give it a nine for a total of 18. What are you gonna give it? – I think they’re even. I’m gonna give it an eight. – For a total of 17, Gardetto’s. – They did it, thanks to Link. – Pizza snack Brian! And let me tell you right there it, we are right about it. I’ve never felt more right about anything. – Well, I’m a little torn, but you know what? That’s why there’s two of us. – Okay, Natalie Imbruglia, stay out of this.
