We’re tasting every flavor of Kool-Aid. Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) Good Mythical Morning. A portion of today’s episode is sponsored by ShipStation, but more on that later. Now, nothing makes me want to bust through a wall and surprise a group of unsuspecting strangers like a swig of Kool-Aid. So what would drinking every flavor of Kool-Aid make us want to do? Probably pee a lot. It’s time for Gut Check: Kool-Aid Edition. – [Stevie] Gentlemen, today you’ll embark on a journey to try all 23 classic powdered packet Kool Aid flavors, give them a score of 1 to 100 based on your gut reactions, and decide which is the best. I have an assisting poster here. That’s pretty cool, man. And, of course, the best Kool-Aid jumps all the way through the wall! And then the worst Kool-Aid leaves a little red ring of a Kool-Aid turd. He spilled a Kool-Aid turd. Yeah. He’s not happy. All of these are kind of me. I like it. I want to say I really appreciate you guys going the extra mile and usually you just give me a piece of cardboard and you’ve really given me something I can use today an abacus So I’ll be using this to. It’s well worn too. Figure out my emotions. That’s nice. ((Laughing)) All right, let’s get to it. I feel like I’m in therapy. – [Stevie] All right, we’re kicking things off with our classic category starting with Tropical Punch. Everybody knows that one. Well that’s Kool-Aid. It tastes like Kool-Aid. I think this is the color that Kool-Aid man, he’s this flavor. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, this is the original. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Were you doing that on purpose? It’s decent. It’s a 73. I might give it a 64. – [Stevie] Cherry. Cherry. I think I actually like it a little bit berry. Berry? ((Laughing)) Better. It tastes better, but it makes me think about cough syrup a little bit. I like it a little bit berry. I’m talking to you, Barry. Puts me right back at 63. Put your broom down and watch! 75. I thought it was a vacuum. He does different things. – [Stevie] He’s sweeping in Main and mopping in More, I believe. Because that would be the order. Black Cherry. Okay, yeah, yeah. They’re getting better to me. It’s definitely more flavorful. Like, that one really hits harder. 76. I like that. I like it. – [Stevie] Berry Cherry. Oh. It’s like cherry, with a little bit of berry, which makes it a little bit better. Now, this one’s a little confusing to me. ((Laughing)) I think I’m gonna go for a nice 72. I don’t like this one as much. 52. You know what? I’m gonna give it a 79. No backsies. A little bit of backsies. ((Laughing)) You get a little bit of backsies? I realized how much I liked it. – [Stevie] Mixed Berry. Okay, it’s confused. Okay. Oh, it’s blue. That’s tart. That’s sour. It’s all mixed up. That’s interesting. Might get a little old after a glass. Yeah, I think it’s too candy like. 61. I’m gonna give it a 59. – [Stevie] Strawberry. Oh, okay. Strawberry. I would describe it as soft. Yes, it’s very soft. It’s soft around the edges. It’s gentle on the tongue. Yeah, 51. 58. – [Stevie] Strawberry Kiwi. Oh, okay. They did that, huh? It’s kind of like in a Jolly Rancher territory. Yeah, it’s sour. I’m not loving it. 47. Because it’s not horrible. I kind of like the sourness of it. 67. – [Stevie] Sharkleberry Fin. Excuse me? Come on, Stevie. You know the classic flavor of Sharkleberry Fin. Tastes like grapefruit. Uh huh. And that’s good. That’s what makes Rhett like it. But I don’t like to think about a shark fin. Well, don’t. It’s strawberry, orange, and banana. Oh, the banana is nice. Can I have some more of that? I liked it better when it was grapefruit. Why is my stomach hurting already? I like that. I’ve never had banana flavored Kool-Aid. 81. We’ve gotten into the 80s, friends. Sorry, I’m bringing you down with a 37. Oh gosh. – [Stevie] Watermelon. Oh, this is destined for failure. That’s the spirit. That was awful. That was the worst one so far. I don’t know why they make it. 21. 21. – [Stevie] Grape. 21. Is that what you were doing? Whoa, I can barely see through that berry. Look at that. 29. Ah, man, this is. Sorry, dude. It’s not as good as that Sharkle Fin. 80. 80. 80. – [Stevie] Peach Mango. Oh. I thought this would be better. The expectation set with Peach Mango. Not really delivering. It’s, it’s, it’s, it’s not, it’s out of, it’s not really Kool-Aid. – [Rhett] Oh, okay. It’s decent for what it is. 62. 30. – [Stevie] Orange. Decent for what it is. 30. That’s a classic. This is classic Kool-Aid. This is staying in their lane. This is not nearly as good as Grape. No, it sadly is not. Well, this one’s colored orange, so. That seems right to me. 20. 52. Lemon-Lime. Okay. Y’all can do that too. Oh, so bright. Oh, that’s bad. They’re trying to do like a, they’re trying to do a Gatorade thing. It’s too hard. They’re trying to make Gatorade. It’s going way too hard. You need to water that down. You need to stretch it out. Are you okay? That’s a 9. It wasn’t that bad. It’s a straight 50 for me. Green Apple. Green apple? Oh, that’s brighter than the other one. See, now. It’s green apple, for sure. It’s getting out of its lane. Well, what kind of, what are these lanes you speak of? It’s getting into the Jolly Rancher lane. Yeah, but, I mean, you’re already drinking a sugary drink. Green apple has something to it, man. I will say that the 90 and the 100 is the color of green apple. And I do, Green Apple is my favorite Jolly Rancher. But that’s not what this, the colors are not. I’m just saying things. Well, yep, that’s true. But what I’m really thinking is. Do you like it? I like it. Okay. But I’m not busting through the wall. And it, I think it would get old after a while. I’m gonna go for a 72. I’m going to 75. – [Stevie] That concludes the classic category and this portion of today’s episode is sponsored by ShipStation. Is it?

Did you put an S on both of those? Aguas Frescas. – [Stevie] Yes. Oh, now that is so soft. Now this isn’t something I expected from you, Kool-Aid. You’ve gone out of your lane and put S’s on everything. This is interesting. 69. 82. I really liked it. You really liked it? Yeah. I like the mouth feel of it. I hope that comes back in another flavor. How soft is it? – [Stevie] “Mongo”. Mungo? That’s a bean, right? Mungo. – [Stevie] It’s mango, but in Spanish it’s “mongo.” I thought it was mongo for a very long time. Okay, all right. That tastes like “mongo”. This is perfect. Can I have some more of that? That’s, I mean, that’s not an approximation. This is a new leaf. – [Stevie] I’m also gonna need your scores, for this category in Spanish, please. Okay. Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco. ((Laughing)) Ocho? Ocho. Ocho diez. Ochocinco. ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] Are you both saying 80? I said 85. Didn’t I? Ochocinco. 85 and what? 85. ((Laughing)) And what did I say? Ocho diez. Unos, dos, tres. ((Laughing)) Eighty ten. So 90? No. Eighty, eight, eight times ten. Eight. – [Stevie] 80? Ocho diez. – [Stevie] Are you saying eighty? What is diez? That’s ten. – [Stevie] Diez is ten. So what is your? – [Stevie] Ochenta is eighty. Ochenta. ((Laughing)) You could have said ocho zero. – [Stevie] Mandarina. Mandarina. Tangerine. Mandarin tangerine. Yeah, doing a half Spanish, half English situation. Now that’s so much better than orange. That is an orange upgrade. All of these are better than normal Kool-Aid. 68. 72. I’m waiting to be wowed. – [Stevie] Jamaica. Which is hibiscus flavored. That is dark. Jamaica? – [Stevie] Yeah. Oh, wow. That is a, that’s thick. It’s like, what is that? It tastes like, it’s a syrup that’s supposed to be put with something else. Like there’s an ingredient in something. 22. You’d think it was wine. What’s this, communion all of a sudden? 48. – [Stevie] And that concludes the Aguas Frescas category. Finally, we have the Lemonade/Limeade category. Starting with Lemonade. Oh, what’s this? What’s this new thing? That’s a strong lemonade. I mean, if you’re in the market for a lemonade, don’t count Kool-Aid out. It just tastes like lemonade. Yeah, and that’s what it was. ((Laughing)) So that would be a 73 for me. I want more, I want more than lemonade from Kool-Aid. I do like it though. 64. – [Stevie] Pink Lemonade. Okay. What’s the difference between pink lemonade and lemonade? It’s a little tarter. and it’s pink. And yeah, the color. It’s a little bit better. That’s what my dentist said. 68. I don’t think it’s, I don’t think it’s better. So whatever I just said, I’m gonna go lower, but I don’t remember that, so I’m just gonna go. – [Stevie] You said 73. 72. – [Stevie] Strawberry Lemonade. Oh, I wonder how soft this’ll be. It’s a soft lemonade. That’s not for me. That’s a 50. I think that’s a crowd pleaser. That’s not what we’re here for though. 68. – [Stevie] Blue Raspberry Lemonade. I’m listening. Very candy like. Yeah, that’s got a Sour Patch Kids thing going. I think that would get old pretty fast. Yeah, I think that’s, it’s making my stomach hurt. 51. 42. – [Stevie] Cherry Limeade. Interesting. That is horrible. 10. That’s the worst. 12. ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] That concludes the Lemonade/Limeade category. You have now tasted every Kool- Aid flavor available and your scores will now be tabulated. I’ll never do that again. Have a cracker. Oh, good. – [Stevie] Okay guys, your overall top three flavors in no particular order were Piña Pineapple. Really? – [Stevie] “Mongo”. And Green Apple. Green apples. No reds for these boys. I’m actually surprised by the Piña Pineapple because. We don’t remember it. I don’t think I would have. Is this the one that I said had some coconut in it? Oh, this is the first. This is the first one. – [Stevie] Yeah, two of your top three are Aguas Frescas flavors. Oh, I hate this now. What’s wrong with you, man? It’s got that coconutty thing to it. What? You stated something about it in order to hate it, is what it seems like to all of us watching. But I tasted it. Okay. All right. I love it. I mean, what do you want me to say? You’re gonna love this. I think it shows how easily you can make yourself hate or love something by just saying, thing, something about it. No, I tasted it again. That’s why we’re tasting it again. Did you love it? I still like it a lot. But did you taste the Mango? Very accurate. It’s funny. Tasting the mango. What, you wanna go back to this? Next, directly next to this one. We picked some really strong flavors. Is this, what is this, Green Apple? Yeah, it’s a lot. That’s good though. I ate a bunch of saltines right in between this and it got completely salty mouth and so this is all seeming so sweet to me right now. I do like them, I’m just saying they’re all three very sweet right now and I’m trying, I’m trying, I’m having to recalibrate. I’m ready to go. I think this is my, this is my number. This is the worst one. Throw it up there. Third best one. And, that one’s gonna go there. So that this one can slide under here and be the coolest Kool-Aid dude you’ve ever seen. It’s “mongo”! Oh, he’s coming up. Oh, his glasses fell off. His glasses fell off. – [Rhett] You know, I think I’ve made an observation. Help! Rescue this. You dropped the whole thing though, and then. Let’s just do this. How about that? They worked so hard on making this thing and it’s awesome. Here we go. ((Laughing)) They worked so hard on this stuff. Well look, he busted out. 3D. I’m making an observation about us. We’re not just peanut butter boys. I think we might be “mongo” boys, because ((Laughing)) You’re your own worst enemy, man. I am, man. You are, I’m telling you. I am. All I’m saying is I think we like mango things. And we’ve done, and we’ve demonstrated that multiple times. Mango is the best Kool-Aid. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
