[Link] I’d go around the world just to get a good deal. – [Rhett] Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) – [Rhett] Good Mythical Morning. – [Link] I love a good deal when it comes to groceries, – [Link] even if I have to take an international flight to get there. – [Rhett] Well, that’s good, because sometimes the best deals – [Rhett] are in other countries due to “hella” complicated factors – [Rhett] about economies and “stuff.” – [Link] Yeah. Which we are very “knowledgeable” on – [Link] and will tell you all about right “now.” – [Link] It’s time for. – [Rhett] Check Out on Aisle World. – [Link] Global Grocery Shopping Part Two. – [Stevie] Okay, guys, here’s how today’s game is going to work. – [Stevie] Each round you’ll be presented with three different countries – [Stevie] from which you may buy a specific grocery store item. – [Stevie] Your goal is to purchase the item – [Stevie] from the country in which that item is the least expensive. – [Stevie] And you’re going to want to be very careful – [Stevie] about which country you choose because your picks – [Stevie] will affect how far your personal shopper – [Stevie] travels up our Shopper’s Hill to Hell. – [Link] What’s at the end of the hill to hell? – [Rhett] Hell! – [Rhett] Or heaven for somebody. – [Link] Is there a heaven? – [Link] Because last time – [Rhett] I don’t know, Link. I mean, that’s a very difficult question. – [Rhett] People have been trying to figure it out for centuries. – [Stevie] By the end of the game, – [Stevie] at least one of you will lose and go to hell. – [Stevie] And before we begin, – [Stevie] let’s play a little game of – [Stevie] Catch the Fish with Grandad – [Stevie] to see who gets to pick the first item. – [Rhett] That’s right. Y’all thought it might be going away, – [Rhett] cause we told you. – [Rhett] But we’re going to use it from time to time. – [Link] All right. So shorter man is granddad. – [Rhett] Yes, shorter man’s granddad first. – [Rhett] One 20 second sudden death round. – [Rhett] Hands on hips for you first. – [Link] Yes, I’m just, I’m ready. – [Rhett] Three, two, one. – [Rhett] That’s three. That’s three. – [Rhett] You got me really good on the first one, – [Rhett] and if I had a fish glove on, it may have come off. – [Rhett] But we don’t have time for fish gloves. ((Music)) – [Stevie] Of these three countries, – [Stevie] where is Nutella the least expensive? – [Link] Nutella. – [Rhett] Is it “new-tella” or “na-tella”? – [Stevie] Well, we just had this conversation, – [Stevie] because I say “na-tella”, which might be a southern thing. – [Stevie] But then everyone said “new-tella” back here – [Stevie] and I am self-conscious and I went with “new” – [Rhett] But is it tella that’s new or is it nuts that are ella? – [Link] Well, it’s a hazelnut, so it has to be a nut. – [Link] I think it started out as “nut-ella”, but it’s pronounced “new-tella” – [Link] And because, look, the N is black – [Rhett] I mean, that doesn’t – [Rhett] I mean, if the nut was black, – [Rhett] if all of the nut was black or just the “nu” is black, – [Rhett] it would be helpful. But that’s not helpful – [Link] It’s N-utella actually – [Rhett] N-utella. – [Rhett] Okay. I have the power of choice because – [Link] Did you ever know that the N was black? – [Rhett] No, if we do that little thing that we do sometimes – [Rhett] Where we have to draw logos. – [Link] Different game. – [Rhett] I would not have gotten that right. – [Link] This is a big advantage to go first, man. – [Link] Because I have my answer. – [Link] I just don’t want you to take it. – [Rhett] Well, I don’t know this for sure, – [Rhett] but I know this for, like, enough to, like, – [Rhett] talk about it at parties, you know what I’m saying? – [Rhett] You know, Nutella is from Italy. – [Rhett] Does that sound like something I’d say at a party? – [Stevie] I thought you said at Hardee’s at first, – [Stevie] and I was like, that’s also viable. – [Rhett] Well, all of my parties are at Hardee’s – [Stevie] Yeah. – [Link] We tend to split up at parties, you know? – [Link] I’ve kind of heard all the stuff you’re going to say, – [Link] so I’ll let other people hear it. – [Rhett] Yeah, well, I say things like, you know, Nutella – [Rhett] or “na-tella”, depending on where you’re from. – [Rhett] Is from Italy. – [Rhett] But is something being from that country – [Rhett] necessarily a reason to believe that it’s cheaper? – [Rhett] Because what if they’re so proud of it they’re like Oh! – [Rhett] but I’m going to go with that. – [Rhett] I’m going to go with where it’s from, – [Rhett] is where it cost not a lot. – [Link] That was going to be my guess. – [Rhett] First of all, it’s so good. – [Rhett] Look, it’s gold plated. I can’t even get into it. – [Link] I remember seeing – [Rhett] I don’t even like hazelnuts. – [Link] N-utella in Thailand. – [Rhett] Do you remember paying for it? – [Link] Oh, no. – [Rhett] Putting it on your banana on the beach. – [Link] This is there. – [Rhett] I thought you put it on your beach banana. – [Link] They have this. – [Link] No. – [Rhett] No, I didn’t. No. – [Link] Beach banana? – [Stevie] That’s your full reasoning? – [Rhett] Corn. You had beach corn. – [Link] It was corn. It’s yellow, but it wasn’t a banana. – [Rhett] I get corn and bananas mixed up. – [Rhett] That’s something I talk about at Hardee’s as well. – [Stevie] I just want to make sure, Link, that was just – [Stevie] You saw it in Thailand. – [Stevie] I just want to, okay, great. – [Rhett] I saw Nutella in Thailand. ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] Okay. – [Link] That was my reasoning, yes. – [Stevie] Nutella is the least expensive in – [Stevie] Italy. – [Stevie] A 350 to 400 gram jar will cost you 3.27 – [Stevie] The origin country of Nutella, – [Stevie] Italy has four production plants there, – [Stevie] so, Rhett, that means you move zero notches. – [Rhett] Welcome to Hardee’s – [Link] Boring. – [Stevie] The middle option is South Africa – [Stevie] Where a jar will cost you 4.60. – [Rhett] You saw it, but you didn’t pay for it. – [Stevie] Which means the most expensive country is Thailand, – [Stevie] where a jar of Nutella will cost you a whopping 6.23 – [Stevie] low demand for Western food – [Stevie] and lack of nearby factories drives up the price, – [Stevie] which means, Link, you’ve moved 6 notches closer to hell. – [Link] No. – [Rhett] That’s about as bad as you can possibly do, Link. – [Link] In this round, yes, it is. – [Link] But at least I’m not next to you in the grocery anymore. ((Music)) – [Stevie] Of these three countries, – [Stevie] where is poultry the least expensive. – [Rhett] Poultry, fowl, you know? – [Rhett] Flying bird that you can eat. – [Link] I do not get appetized by any of these colors of chicken leg. – [Rhett] But what’s the most appetizing? Blue chicken? – [Link] I guess yellow. – [Rhett] Yeah. Because yellow chicken is almost like regular chicken. – [Link] Choppity chop chop. Chinese chicken. – [Link] I don’t know. It’s a lyric. – [Rhett] It’s a lyric. – [Link] So I’m choosing China. – [Link] You want me to try to come up with some reasoning? – [Link] China is a big place and there’s lots of chickens. – [Link] I mean, just close your eyes and grab, – [Link] you’re going to grab a chicken leg. – [Rhett] Right, yeah, I’ve done it. – [Rhett] I’ve never even been to China – [Link] Switzerland. That’s a good choice for you. – [Rhett] Nothing’s cheap in Switzerland. – [Link] So, I’m going to go for China. – [Rhett] Okay. I’m going to choose Mexico. – [Link] Looks like a mustard. – [Rhett] Because I’m not going to choose Switzerland. – [Link] Come on. Switzerland is so beautiful. – [Rhett] Yeah, and that makes things cheap? – [Link] The skiing. – [Rhett] Yeah. Also very cheap. – [Link] Makes you hungry for some chicken. – [Rhett] Mexico, which you know what? – [Rhett] Not a bad guess to start with. – [Rhett] It might be the right answer – [Link] If you do say so about yourself, yourself? – [Rhett] Yeah. I’m forced to do it. – [Stevie] The country with the least expensive poultry is – [Stevie] Mexico. – [Rhett] Not a bad guess to begin with. – [Link] But what about China? – [Stevie] I’m going to get there in a second – [Link] Oh, no, not right now? – [Rhett] Before you move on, – [Rhett] can I just point out the fact that I have a blue chicken – [Rhett] on a yellow top – [Rhett] and Link has a yellow chicken on a blue top. – [Stevie] It’s very pretty. – [Link] Yes, you can. – [Stevie] We’ve made really great aesthetic choices. – [Rhett] Can I point out that I matched the bags? – [Link] Yes. – [Stevie] Yeah. – [Stevie] You can get about one kilogram of chicken in Mexico for 3.11 – [Stevie] Mexico’s one of the leading producers of both poultry and feed. – [Stevie] And the cost of raising chickens is low. – [Stevie] So, Rhett, that means you move zero notches. – [Stevie] The second least expensive option here is – [Stevie] China. For 5.49. – [Stevie] Poultry prices actually went down in China in 2020 – [Stevie] as production surged. – [Stevie] Link, that means you move three notches. – [Link] Come on, buddy, just slow your roll. – [Stevie] Which means our most expensive option is Switzerland, – [Stevie] where one kilogram of chicken will cost you 11.38. – [Stevie] Switzerland has some of the most expensive meat in the world – [Stevie] due to strict animal welfare laws – [Stevie] and having a closed market – [Stevie] as they are not a part of the European Union. – [Rhett] And every chicken wears a watch. ((Music)) – [Stevie] Of these three countries, – [Stevie] where is Red Bull the least expensive? – [Rhett] Look at this little koozie, Link. – [Rhett] That seems like something that would excite you. – [Rhett] You love a koozie. – [Link] I love a good koozie – [Link] You won’t catch me drinking something – [Link] without a koozie – [Rhett] And you know what? – [Rhett] If you’re with Link and you have a drink that is cold, – [Rhett] he will get you a koozie. – [Link] I’ll give you a koozie. – [Rhett] Sometimes we’ll just be out somewhere. – [Rhett] He doesn’t seem like he’s got access to koozies – [Rhett] and next thing you know he’s like here’s a koozie.. – [Link] I carry koozies with me. – [Rhett] I don’t want your hand to freeze. – [Link] You know what I did yesterday? – [Link] And this is not an exaggeration or a lie or anything. – [Rhett] It’s not anything – [Link] I started, I had these, like, foldable koozies. – [Link] I started hiding them in places. – [Rhett] That’s what you’ve been doing. – [Link] I thought I might need them. – [Link] Like pockets of aprons. – [Rhett] You keep one in your butt crack? – [Rhett] Is that where it comes from? – [Link] You can have it. – [Link] I’m going with Philippines because I’m feeling the “pines” – [Link] as you said in the past. – [Link] Red Bull under another name originated in Thailand. – [Link] If I remember something I’ve said in the past, – [Link] and I just think that this is close enough by – [Link] that it’s still, you know, the price is – [Rhett] Yeah. Yep. Well I’m going with Germany – [Rhett] because I’m German in the knees. – [Link] Why not Portugal? – [Rhett] I’m going with Portugal – [Rhett] because I’m Portugal. – [Rhett] I’m porching, I’m porching the gals. – [Link] Yep, stay outside, ladies. – [Rhett] Okay, I’m going with Germany because club scene – [Rhett] You heard about Berlin? – [Link] Oh, yeah. Disco tech. – [Rhett] These folks, if there’s a high, high, high demand for something, – [Rhett] the supply catches up and the price goes down. – [Rhett] Now, you would think that demand sends the price up, – [Rhett] but it does initially. – [Rhett] But things have had time to regulate – [Rhett] because they’ve been clubbing in Berlin for a long time. – [Link] Stevie, please jump in at any time. – [Stevie] The country with the least expensive Red Bull is – [Stevie] Germany. – [Rhett] Yes! – [Stevie] You can get a can of Red Bull for a $1.37 – [Stevie] and it’s because of all of the clubbing in Berlin. – [Stevie] I’m just kidding. – [Stevie] It’s because Red Bull has a nearby production facility. – [Rhett] Because of all of the clubbing. – [Stevie] Sure. Rhett, that means you move zero notches. – [Link] Yeah, I bet you, you can’t even move. – [Rhett] I’m pretty used to not moving. – [Link] Look at you. I can’t push a cart. – [Rhett] Mine’s glued in. – [Link] Why is my seat lowering? – [Stevie] The second least expensive option here is – [Stevie] Portugal. – [Stevie] Where you can get a can for a $1.63. – [Stevie] Which means our most expensive option – [Stevie] is Philippines. A can here will cost you 3.35. – [Stevie] In the Philippines, a sweetened beverage tax was implemented, – [Stevie] raising the cost of sugary drinks, – [Stevie] which means Link you move six notches. – [Rhett] Wow, that’s pretty close to hell. – [Link] It hurts, but I like to watch him push. – [Link] Good gosh. It’s a struggle in every way for Link – [Rhett] Do we need to grease that thing?

What you want, honey? – [Rhett] What you want, honey? Remember that? – [Link] What you want, honey? – [Link] That’s our lunch lady’s catchphrase. – [Rhett] What you want, honey? – [Link] Let’s see, we get the U.S. familiar with that. – [Link] Got the UK over here. You got Vietnam. – [Link] You know, bees are are threatened globally. – [Rhett] And it’s a big deal. – [Link] And they’re so important. – [Rhett] Because if they go, we go. – [Link] That’s right. So we need to keep them. – [Link] But where, get it? We need to “keep” – [Rhett] We need to keep them. – [Link] If it doesn’t seem like I’ve been trying. – [Rhett] You have been trying. – [Rhett] We know, we know. We know you’ve been trying. – [Link] Stay out of this. – [Rhett] You know that we have the exact opposite colors – [Rhett] and mine have been completely right each time. – [Rhett] Where you’ve got blue, I’ve got yellow and vice versa. – [Rhett] That’s wonderful. – [Link] I can’t come up with any reason. – [Rhett] Keep your streak of choosing either blue or yellow. – [Rhett] No one has chosen red. – [Link] I think there’s more pollinatable places in the UK, locally. – [Link] They generate a lot of local honey. – [Link] But every time you go to a farmer’s market, – [Link] there’s somebody selling honey. – [Link] There’s two rounds and I’m about to go to hell, man. – [Link] Don’t you want to help me out here? – [Link] I’m not thinking Vietnam. It’s too jungly. – [Rhett] Right, no bees in the jungle. – [Link] Why’d you put a bee box in the jungle? – [Link] You can’t find it. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, right. No hives either. – [Rhett] No hives. No natural hives. – [Link] I want to say the US, – [Link] but I think since I’ve been doing so poorly, – [Link] I’m going to go with the United Kingdom – [Link] because there’s a lot of pollinatable land, – [Link] you know, not a lot of cities in the UK. – [Rhett] Well, well, well, well. Link. Linky, Linky, Linky. – [Link] Did I frustrate you by taking your answer? – [Rhett] No. I was going to take the U.S. – [Rhett] Because, man, honey’s cheap. – [Rhett] Have you bought honey lately? – [Rhett] Honey’s cheap, man. – [Rhett] I mean, if you get the, like, – [Link] I only buy it at the farmer’s market. – [Rhett] If you like, get this one right here – [Rhett] that comes in the bear, it’s cheap. – [Rhett] We got so many bees. So many people. – [Rhett] We got people just making bee, – [Rhett] making honey in their backyard around here. – [Rhett] Driving the costs way down. – [Stevie] The country with the least expensive honey is – [Stevie] the UK. – [Link] Yes! Yes, finally! – [Stevie] Averaging about 3.29 per 500 grams. – [Stevie] The UK imports cheap honey from countries like China, – [Stevie] but in fact they’re buying honey blended – [Stevie] with unnatural sugars. syrups. – [Stevie] But I guess it still counts as honey – [Stevie] and Link, you’re not going to hell this round. – [Link] Nope! – [Link] What do you mean? I am next around? – [Stevie] Well, I’m just saying, you’re not moving any notches. – [Stevie] The second least expensive option here is the USA – [Stevie] for 6.34. The price of U.S. honey – [Stevie] can be attributed to the 2019 honey crisis – [Stevie] when production fell 30% due to environmental changes. – [Stevie] The honey industry has been struggling ever since – [Stevie] to keep up with demand. – [Stevie] Rhett, that means you move three notches. – [Link] Oh, look, he does move. – [Rhett] I can take it. – [Stevie] And our most expensive option is Vietnam – [Stevie] for $9.94 per 500 grams. – [Stevie] Though one of the largest exporters of honey. – [Stevie] Many beekeepers harvest their honey early – [Stevie] and mix it with artificial enhancers – [Stevie] for quantity over quality. – [Stevie] So Vietnamese people tend to buy – [Stevie] a higher quality imported honey. – [Rhett] Mixing the honey. – [Link] Wow, look at that. Ships passing in the night. ((Music)) – [Stevie] It’s the final round and of course, – [Stevie] the most important grocery of all, entertainment. – [Stevie] Of these three countries, – [Stevie] where is a basic Netflix subscription plan the cheapest? – [Link] I guess you could get a gift card for Netflix. – [Link] You can get a gift card. – [Rhett] You can still get, they still got Redbox. – [Rhett] I know that’s not Netflix, – [Rhett] but they still got Redbox at the grocery store. – [Link] I see that, from a distance. – [Rhett] Do you go up and – [Link] No. – [Rhett] Talk to it. You can talk to it now. – [Link] There’s a person in there? – [Link] I mean, even if I get it right, – [Link] somebody has to go to hell, – [Link] because that’s how grocery justice works. – [Link] So, I’m going to hell no matter what. – [Rhett] No, no, no, no. Let’s make it interesting. – [Rhett] I will go to hell on your behalf, if you get this right, – [Rhett] but also guess the correct price within a dollar. – [Link] Will you then come back from hell with the keys – [Rhett] With the keys to the kingdom? – [Rhett] I don’t know, man. That’s been done already. – [Link] Okay, I will take up that offer. – [Link] Poland, Egypt, Puerto Rico. – [Link] Let’s see, Poland – [Rhett] Give some reasons for things. – [Link] Well, there’s, you know, – [Link] it really comes down to how, – [Link] what’s the perceived value? – [Link] How many streams are there in the native language? – [Link] There’s a lot in Puerto Rico. – [Link] Egypt, you know, – [Link] they might have their own streaming service. – [Link] Like the Al Jazeera of comedy, and – [Rhett] Yeah, keep talking. Keep going. – [Link] It’s like, they don’t have a lot of Polish series. – [Link] I mean, they have enough, – [Link] but they don’t have enough to drive up the costs. – [Link] So, I’m thinking that this is the least expensive – [Link] and I think they’re paying. – [Link] Stop looking at me. – [Link] I think that they’re paying 3.99. – [Link] 3.99. – [Rhett] Great, you’ve locked in? – [Rhett] So, I would have chosen Poland as well, Link. – [Rhett] I would have not said 3.99. – [Rhett] But I don’t know. I don’t know. – [Link] I know they have the English stuff with subtitles, but – [Rhett] I feel like – [Rhett] So, I would have chosen Poland, but Puerto Rico. – [Rhett] I mean, it’s a U.S. territory, right? – [Rhett] And so things are, – [Rhett] I feel like Netflix is probably relatively expensive in the U.S. – [Rhett] and I don’t feel like they’re making exceptions for Puerto Rico – [Rhett] just because it’s a U.S. territory. – [Link] Yeah, let’s make them a state, by the way. – [Rhett] I mean, first of all, they’re like people – [Rhett] going there for like tax sheltering, right? – [Rhett] Isn’t that happening? Like, you don’t pay any income tax. – [Rhett] That’s why the Paul boys are there. – [Rhett] Yeah, and Egypt might have a weird, like, entertainment tax. – [Rhett] It might be like, we don’t want people to watch this – [Rhett] because I think that, like, the government is kind of like – [Rhett] trying to, like, assert some, like, moral authority or whatever. – [Rhett] And probably doesn’t like what’s coming on Netflix. – [Rhett] So maybe it’s like add taxes to it. – [Rhett] So that kind of leaves me with Poland, which you already took. – [Link] Right. – [Rhett] I don’t know. – [Rhett] You had to get it right in order for me to lose anyway. – [Rhett] So I’m going to go with Egypt. – [Stevie] The country with the least expensive – [Stevie] Netflix subscription plan out of these countries is – [Stevie] Egypt. – [Link] No! – [Stevie] You can get a basic plan there for 2.27 a month. – [Stevie] There isn’t much information on the specifics – [Stevie] of each country’s pricing, – [Stevie] but Netflix does adjust their prices based on – [Stevie] economic climate, government regulations, and taxes. – [Stevie] Rhett, that means you move zero notches. – [Rhett] Pretty good day. – [Stevie] The second least expensive option is – [Stevie] Poland for $7.09 a month. – [Link] $7.09? – [Stevie] Which means Link moves three notches – [Stevie] and you go to hell. – [Link] No. Oh, wow. – [Rhett] That sounds bad. – [Link] I scream like a girl when I’m burning – [Rhett] Yeah, that sounds unfortunate. – [Rhett] Now, are you going to come back? – [Link] Just a little bit. – [Rhett] Wow, you didn’t really make it. – [Link] Water. Red Bull. – [Rhett] That boy’s thirsty. – [Stevie] That means the most expensive option – [Stevie] comes from Puerto Rico, – [Stevie] where it will cost you 9.99 – [Stevie] and Rhett, your reasoning was correct. – [Link] Don’t tell him not. – [Rhett] Say that again? – [Stevie] It also means that you get to go to shopping heaven. – [Rhett] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey! – [Rhett] Hey, grandma. – [Rhett] So good to, oh, don’t cry. Don’t cry so much. – [Rhett] Clean up on aisle seven. – [Rhett] My grandma cried too much. – [Link] There’s no crying in heaven. – [Rhett] No, there is in shopper’s heaven. – [Rhett] Tears of joy. – [Link] Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – [Rhett] You know what time it is. – [Cindy] I’m Cindy – [Greg] And I’m Greg. – [Cindy] And we’re from Charlotte, North Carolina. – [Greg] But we’re here at Dishoom in London, England. – [Greg] And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – [Rhett] You’re going to have a good meal. – [Rhett] Best meal I’ve ever had. – [Link] All that Indian food at Dishoom. – [Rhett] Click the top link to watch us compete – [Rhett] to save money at the dollar store – [Rhett] in Good Mythical More. – [Link] And to find out – [Link] where the Wheel of Mythicality is going to land. – [Link] Get the most out of your local Dollar Tree – [Link] with Sporked’s recommendations – [Link] for best drinks, snacks and more. – [Link] Sporked.com “
